CD Exclusive: Crime Story: The Dragon Dynasty DVD Review!
Counting Down – Aug 5, 2007
It made life a lot easier when working on location among the sounds of traffic on-lookers and other street noises. While the DVD looks great and has some fantastic extras I was a little put off by the fact that the press release and promotional materials promised extras that never appear on this disc. When Fortune Star put out their version of the film the extras included an animated photo gallery taken from some lost footage and deleted scenes including more scenes of Detective Hung and Lara and an explanation of why Detective Wong got involved in the kidnapping. The press release for the Dragon Dynasty release mentions an "Animated Photo Gallery Featuring Images Deleted From The Final Print" but it never appears on this disc unless it is as an Easter Egg which has not yet been discovered! Fortune Star does indeed own the rights and cooperated on this release and so perhaps it was assumed this feature would be included but alas it is missing. Another promised feature was to be an interview with actor Kent Cheng. The feature named "Master f Deception: An Interview with star Kent Cheng" also never made it to the final disc. So hopefully websites that are selling the DVD did not included these features on the pre-order information or there could be some confused and possibly disappointed people out there.
Photographers share their work at Gallery ne
Nashua Telegraph – Aug 5, 2007
The group meets three times a month twice for photo expeditions and once to share photos; there are no dues. The group is open to all levels of photographers. Photos are taking center stage this month at Gallery ne at the Mill in Nashua. Members of the Nashua Area Artists Association and the New England Expedition Group have teamed up for an exhibit featuring 23 photos from 14 photographers. While there is no particular theme for the exhibit many of the photos are of New England landscapes. Each participant was allowed to submit up to two photos according to Bill Carroll and Lynne Guimond Findlay co-curators of the show. Because the other photography groups Carroll belonged to “didn’t seem to be going anywhere” he founded NEEG earlier this year… Art has to come first” Findlay said. She feels that in order to be a good photographer you need the basic skills of any artist – the knowledge of composition light and color. Findlay who lives in Merrimack is exhibiting one photo in this show. It was taken at Greeley Park after one of New Hampshire’s infamous snowstorms and is titled “Reaching for the Stars. “”There’s a narrow window after the storm settles that the snow is very heavy on the trees” she said. Findlay explored the park for hours searching for just the right picture. By the time she arrived at the stature of a boy holding up a star the snow had started to melt.

Mounted in Gallery 176 of the modern-contemporary wing the show consists of 11 works two each by Kiefer and Polke and seven by Richter including one sculpture.

Howard Donald’s arse and the art of calm
Manchester Confidential – Aug 5, 2007
Phillips is doubly good value because the owners David and Dianne Powell choose well featuring a mix of Manchester themes and artists with incomers. This exhibition is all about tranquillity although most of it’s awkward rather than comfortable. Astrid Kruse Jensen captures absolute stillness in ‘the House by the Water’ (£2500 photo 100cm x 120cm): a Norwegian home silhouetted at chill twilight over a mill-pond-like fjord with three or four rooms of the house illuminated excluding the viewer. James Naughton with ‘Storm Light’ (£1200 oil 10″x11″) captures long views under wet cloudscapes in Northern England horizons disappearing into moody skies like an evocation of Gerard Manley Hopkins’ poem ‘Inversnaid’ famous for the line ‘What would the world be bereft of wilderness and wet’. Meanwhile Kate Davies ‘Woodland Remains’ (£2450 oil on canvas 49″x 63″) ratchets up the angry skies theme further with boiling atmospherics that could come from an image of the surface of Jupiter. Click here for previews of the artIt’s not all countryside though. David Gledhill’s ‘Corner of Newton Street and Faraday Street’ (£3500 oil on canvas 36″x 50″) is magnificent… Completely depopulated and turning the familiar on its head this haunts the mind much more than the lurid colours of the obligatory Liam Spencer which also features ‘Newton Street Manchester’ (£5000 oil on board 8″ x 10″). There are humans on the gallery walls aside from Take That. David Hancock’s ‘Everytime you feel like crying I’m gonna make you laugh’ (£11000 acrylic on canvas 48″ x 72″) from the ‘Jane says’ series is worth a good long look not least for the technical ability. This is consciously Pre-Raphaelite with a tale told in the title. Put the tear stained school girl a smile beginning to play on her lips slumped in a school toilet with a single flower beside her in medieval costume in a forest in the same pose and give it the title ‘Patience weeping for Loyalty’ or some such and it could slip straight into Manchester Art Gallery unnoticed. For the humans on the walls this is the pick otherwise the exhibition is best for those long scenes of uncomfortable silence.
