Wednesday, September 19, 7:00 PM ​@ AMC River East 21 | U.S. PREMIERESmaller and Smaller Circles Philippines | 2017 | English and Tagalog w/ English subtitles Director: Raya Martin | Starring: Nonie Buencamino, Sid Lucero, Bembol Roco, Carla Humphries Special Guest: Raya Martin On the first Saturday of every month, a serial-killer kidnaps and mutilates street children in the slums of Manila. But in a city of millions of people, nobody cares about a victim who’s just one more nameless kid. With the help of journalist Joanna Bonifacio, Father Gus and his colleague Father Jerome investigate the murders. Adapted from the award-winning, bestselling novel of the same name by Filipino author F.H. Batacan, director Martin tells the story of Smaller and Smaller Circles in a “rigorous and precise manner…illustrating the best and worst of human nature.” The film highlights “almost all of the contradictions of the Filipino society, divided in casts and ruled by everlasting hypocrisy….” (Excerpt from screenwriter Ria Limjap and film critic/historian Max Tessier)

The updated adapter has been upgraded to output 500mA (previously 300mA) of 9VDC power and can now be used with 100V-240V AC input voltage.

Had she known that organizers booked a Bobbie Brown station to touch up attendees’ makeup, Pickles might have attended the ceremony (“I was getting ready to come here…I’m very self-involved”). Succession co-stars Kieran Culkin and Jeremy Strong shared dinner instead. “He’s mister hip restaurant, hip designer – like he always knows the name of some designer that nobody’s ever fucking heard of yet,” said Culkin. “So he took us to a place called Spago, which apparently is very hip, and I know that because when I walked in, I’m like, Oh, there’s Oprah,” who actually was mid-meal.

She also couldn’t help reliving the night’s first honor. “Oh my God, that was just such a great way to start, and he’s such a sweet man,” she said of Henry Winkler, who received his first nod 42 years ago for Happy Days. “I was on a little movie of the week with him, and he was just so happy to be working and doing what he loved to do, and I said, ‘Please, instill that upon every other young actor that you come across.’”

Get ready for your close-up: The Phone It In Film Festival returns on Saturday, November 10, sounding another call to action for local creatives. Founded at Philadelphia’s Good Good Comedy Theater and franchised by Denver-based comedian Zac Maas, the festival challenges budding filmmakers to create two-to-three-minute shorts shot entirely on smartphones (though participants have plenty of leeway in the post-production process). The results are then screened for a crowd that gets larger and more enthusiastic each year. The 2018 version includes live jazz from Dizzy and the Dame, and seating is no longer arranged on a bring-your-own-chair basis, so nobody will have to sit on the ground at LFX Filmworks, 1701 31st Street. The screenings start at 8 p.m., and admission is a suggested $10 donation; visit phoneitincomedy.com to learn more.

How about a mood monitor using facial recognition to program your lighting, wallpaper and ambient sounds in your own dynamic environment. The list goes on and on, PDA’s and embedded development will eventually become as prolific as paper is today. Powerful computers will enable PDA’s to do what they will eventually do so computers will never die.

When the email blast went out to tech execs across town, it took MilkCrate founder and CEO Morgan Berman three minutes to respond:

Among 2017′s most memorable acceptance speeches was the earnest improvising from veteran character actress and real-life sweetheart Ann Dowd. Her name could be called again for portraying chilling Aunt Lydia on The Handmaid’s Tale. This summer, she gave yet another bloodcurdling performance in A24′s second-highest grosser ever: “When I read Hereditary, I read that first scene that Joan is in, I thought, Oh, I’m playing a nice person. She’s so kind. And I was intrigued!…Because my husband said, ‘You might want to consider playing a secretary or someone nice. A surgeon or someone who delivers the mail. Anything but the antichrist.’”  

Waco’s John Leguizamo sounded more optimistic about his prospects. "I’m excited, I feel like I have a shot," he said, his first opportunity since earning a pair of nods almost 20 years ago for John Leguizamo: Freak. "I think it’s between Jeff Daniels and me, if I may be so bold. Now if Jeff Daniels wins the lead  for The Tower, then I think I’m definitely a shoo-in. But if he doesn’t win…then he’ll definitely take co-star in a movie or a miniseries. And then I won’t get it."

Lindsey James, executive director of Visit Mason City, graduated from the Iowa Tourism Leadership Institute, which was held April 12-13 in Cedar Rapids. The institute provides Iowa tourism professionals an opportunity to expand their leadership knowledge and skills.

Sha Alibhai, director of engineering at RoundTrip, said the Old City-based company — makers of a medical transportation software platform — looks for candidates that show proficiency in problem solving outside of technical boundaries.

Skipping out on this year’s ceremony at the Microsoft Theater is Field of Dreams and Dante’s Peak alum Lee Garlington, who was up for an award at the Creative Arts Emmys for her role in the web series "Broken" (Christina Pickles took the honor for "Break A Hip"). "I want to stay at home and watch it in my pajamas and eat popcorn,” said Garlington. Meanwhile, fifth-grader and Shameless regular  Christian Isiah isn’t sure whether he’ll get to attend. Clad in a pink suit, purple shirt, and gingham pocket square, the tyke — before devoting his Annenberg Center visit to cellphone games — said that in his dream scenario, he would take a photo with, "Just someone big that has an Emmy in their hands…Anybody, I don’t care," a souvenir to look at "and to say, ‘I have met you before.’" — Jenna Marotta
