Movie review: 'Argo' | Advocate Magazine

Argo 300x168 Movie review: ArgoA thinking man?s espionage thriller that gives weight to the notion that truth is indeed stranger than fiction, Argo quickly dispels any lingering doubts as to whether or not Ben Affleck?s recent acclaim as a director is just a fluke. Affleck directs with even more confidence and capability than he displayed in Gone Baby Gone (2007) and The Town (2010), and lets this slightly surreal true story unfold on its own, resisting the urge to sensationalize any of its inherently fantastic aspects. It?s that rare form of political thriller: perfectly paced, compelling, engrossing, and believable.

That believability derives not only from true-story status (although some of the details are, of course, embellished), but also from its almost precognative timeliness. (It?s almost impossible to watch Argo without the images of recent events popping up in the backs of our minds.) At to that exquisite period detail and a deliberate attempt to capture the look of the era by using grainy film stock and even opening with a ?70s-era Warner Bros. logo, and Argo starts to resemble a lost thriller recently liberated from the recesses of the studio?s vault.

If the story weren?t true, you?d swear it was based on one of the more far-fetched episodes of Mission: Impossible. The movie opens with a brief history of Western involvement in Iranian regime change, before?opening on?1979, when Islamist militants stormed the US embassy in Tehran and took 52 Americans hostage. (They were held for 444 days.) Six others manage to escape, and take refuge at the Canadian embassy. It?s a limited haven, as it?s only a matter of time before the Republican Guard realize someone has slipped the net and track them down.

 Movie review: ArgoEnter Affleck as Tony Mendez, a CIA field operative specializing in exfiltration, the fine art of getting VIPs out of less-than friendly environments. Mendez has never left anyone behind, but the obstacles involved in this operation are so daunting that his best option is a rather far-fetched one: fly into Iran posing as a movie producer scouting locations for a B-grade science fiction flick, outfit the refugees with a cover story of being Canadian filmmakers, and waltz them through triple-layered airport security to a Swiss Air flight home.

Mendez and company go so far to sell the con as to take out ads in Variety, set up a production office, hire accomplished special effects artist John Chambers (John Goodman) and veteran producer Lester Siegel (Alan Arkin), and hold PR events to promote the project (the Argo of the title). In reality, Chambers, the man who created Spock?s iconic ears, had worked as a consultant for Mendez (an accomplished disguise artist) for years; Siegel is a fictional substitution for make-up artist Bob Sidell (E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial). The two provide some comic relief, and the movie?s interludes in Hollywood are a nice juxtaposition to the stark events unfolding half a world away.

Affleck casts low-profile veteran actors that include Bryan Cranston, Titus Welliver, Victor Garber, Tate Donovan, and Clea Duvall to give his characters depth without overpowering the roles or undermining the story. As the lead actor, he delivers a muted, low-key performance as a man who?s as scared as the people he intends to rescue, but who nevertheless projects an almost unearthly degree of self-control.

As a director, Affleck keeps the pacing tight, ratcheting up the tension without the usual clich?d shoot-outs, fist-fight, and/or explosions (not that those aren?t fun) by focusing on the race against time, the ever-increasing sense of impending doom, and the knowledge of what would likely happen if they get caught.?He carefully builds to a break-neck conclusion that essentially boils down to a race to catch a flight with an outcome we already know, and still manages to keep us white-knuckling our armrests while perched on the edge of our seats.

It is usually with a rising director?s third or fourth feature that his or her talent and skill (or lack thereof) begins to crystallize and take shape; in which case Affleck has now proven beyond a doubt that he?s a creative force to be reckoned with.

Google goes back to basics, announces GSA 70 for all of your enterprise searching needs

Long before retail outlets were flooded with Android-powered electronics, Google embarked on its maiden voyage into the world of hardware. Venturing out into uncharted waters, the then only web search company released a glaring yellow box known as the Google Search Appliance. Sticking to its search engine roots, Google's first piece of enterprise hardware was designed to help its customers perform fast and effective searches of internal networks. While the GSA may not be the search juggernaut's most noteworthy piece of equipment, it doesn't mean that the company has abandoned its original vision for the platform.

Bikes are a Key Tool To Help Kids Live Long Healthy Lives ...

Nike has nearly always been expert at touching our hearts and hopes in its advertising. Now, the company that coined that cultural meme "Just Do It" is telling the world how to do this: get people moving in order to start to lengthen human lifespans recently cut by inactivity and overeating.

In the video above and an accompanying report entitled Designed to Move, Nike and its partners make clear that it is the world's kids that can expect to live lives up to five years shorter than their parents.

The report blames the "widespread physical inactivity epidemic" for a decrease in both economic and emotional well-being. It doesn't mention the fact that overeating, and less nutrition and more chemicals in our overly-packaged and overly-processed foods also play a role.

But the solution, the report says, is clear:

"We must find ways to integrate the physical activity we?ve lost, back into our lives."

The U.S. has had some of the most startling declines in physical activity - a 32% drop since 1965. By contrast, the UK's levels of physical activity have dropped just 25% since 1961. In China, with its rapid industrialization, the decrease is even more marked - just since 1991, physical activity has declined 45%.

Results of the inactivity are accrued over a lifetime: more obesity; more missed school and work; more health care costs; lower fitness; lower earnings; and finally, premature death.

Reversing these trends requires systematic changes, the report says, and the bicycle plays a key role in getting people more active.

The vision is to get kids "running, jumping, and kicking to reach their greatest potential" and the plan is really two-fold - first get kids interested in physical activity via positive experiences at an early age - before they are 10 years old. Next, integrate physical activity into daily life.

That's where the bicycle comes in. In order to have physical activity, the report states that some physical activity must be designed into the built environment; different sectors of society have to share physical activity and fitness goals; "misaligned" incentives must be challenged, and "signals" that reinforce the current norm must also be challenged.

Translation? Using the bike as an example, it would be: Build safety-oriented bicycle lanes and paths, make it a goal to get kids to bike (and walk) to school, take away the incentives (lack of safety) that cause parents to drive kids, and encourage bike training and bike sports.

Of course, bikes are only one of many ways that kids can and should get moving. But when you are talking about integrating physical activity into our regular daily lives, bikes are superb because we spend a significant amount of time moving around - bikes move us and our limbs and heart rates.

In the "Designed to Move" report, Portland, Oregon, Ciclovias, Sustrans (UK), and the Safe Routes to School program all get special mention as good examples of getting biking into people's lives.
