The gathering heard from students and administrators about the year that was.And so, the memories flow for a 1985 SHS graduate.Many of those memories come from an area between 8th and 12th Avenues from Duncan to Duck.

Attention, Paul Blart: Nobody's laughing
Hello, Paul Blart, our old friend. We've come to laugh at you again, as the fat jokes just keep coming. Instead, the theater echoes with the sounds of silence. Sorry, when a movie falls this flat, when every gag has a just-grind-through-it quality, the mind wanders to old Simon & Garfunkel tunes. Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 is even more of a kids' movie than the 2009 original - slapstick built around a clueless, plump lump.
'Longest Ride' is indeed long
The pretty coed doesn't want to go, doesn't see herself as "a rodeo gal." But her sorority sisters insist she ogle the "easy on the eyes" cowboys with them. He rides a bull, falls off, and loses his hat. She picks it up as he dusts himself off. Her blue eyes lock with his blue eyes. "Keep it," he says with a grin, and she pokes the dirt and sawdust with the toe of her cowgirl boot to show she's interested. Welcome to Nicholas Sparks' world. Welcome to The Longest Ride.
'Home': Harmless, if juvenile, space invaders
Home is an energetic, obvious animated comedy packed with the sort of low humor and silly laughs that drive very small children wild. It's a lesser DreamWorks product, no more ambitious than those later Madagascar movies. There's not much here for anybody over the age of 8. Jim Parsons voices Oh, a six-legged nuisance member of the Boov, an alien race that is the "best species ever . . . at running away." They change planets at the first hint of danger.
Slow-moving '422' ballet docu stumbles
A LOVELY new ballet is followed from creation to rehearsals to opening night in "Ballet 422," a documentary that celebrates the rising star that is choreographer/dancer Justin Peck. It's an intimate movie, with the camera so close it's as if it's having a whispered conversation with one and all. Everybody speaks in the calm, quiet voices of a well-behaved golf tournament gallery. No one loses his or her temper, no one weeps at criticism or some last-minute injury.
'Lazarus' almost raises a whole film genre from the dead
Olivia Wilde's had quite a shock, and, then, so have others who think that a person who's dead isn't exactly expected to be walking around, somewhat alive. "THE LAZARUS Effect" is what happens when hip, smart actors commit themselves to a horror movie, body and soul.
"Love, Rosie": Overdosing on rom-com obstacles
Lilly Collins stars as the title character in "Love, Rosie," tracked over a star-crossed dozen years of bad timing and hard feelings. (Constantin Film) A good screen romance frustrates us, throws up comic or tragic obstacles that keep the lovers apart, and then provides a lovely release when those obstacles are surmounted. Love, Rosie overdoes all of that.
'The Loft': Stylish but too-complicated faux-Hitchcock mystery
The Loft is a stylish whodunit that struggles to stitch the label Hitchcockian on its inner pocket. But it's just a cheap knock-off - more like Hitchcopying. The film is about five upper-income-bracket pals, all married, who share a loft for their assignations.
'Almanac': Time-travel flick will remind you of past, similar ones
TIME TRAVEL meets "found footage" in "Project Almanac," a "Blair Witch"/"Chronicle" tale about pretty teens tampering with all things temporal. A couple of ingenious wrinkles distinguish this "Back to the Future" from "Looper" and its other cousins.
'Mortdecai': A bit barmy and pointless
Johnny Depp is Charlie Mortdecai, an art dealer and tax dodger, who is searching for a missing Goya painting, and Gwyneth Paltrow is his wife who might leave him if they're broke in "Mortdecai." As you might have guessed from the daft and something-short-of-hilarious TV ads, Mortdecai is an extended inside Anglo joke that most of us aren't in on.
'Boy Next Door' shows how low J.Lo can go
This photo released by Universal Pictures shows, Ryan Guzman as Noah seducing Jennifer Lopez as Claire Peterson in a scene from the film, "The Boy Next Door." (AP Photo/Universal Pictures, Suzanne Hanover) UNIVERSAL'S "The Boy Next Door" is almost so bad it's good. Well, at least they got the "bad" part of that equation right. A risible stalker-thriller predicated on the absurd notion that Jennifer Lopez is still a movie star, it's "Fatal Attraction" without the rabbit. And mostly without the fear.

A risible stalker thriller predicated on the absurd notion that Jennifer Lopez is still a movie star, it's "Fatal Attraction" without the rabbit. And mostly without the fear. Ryan Guzman of the later "Step Up" movies is the man candy who moves in next door to an about-to-divorce suburban school teacher Claire (Lopez) and her shy, allergy-riddled teenage boy, Kevin (Ian Nelson).
Sprightly 'Song of the Sea' could be the animated Oscar dark horse
Every scene is magical, every image a work of art in "Song of the Sea," the latest Oscar-nominated feature from the folks who gave us "The Secret of Kells." "Sea" is an Irish folk tale, a modern day account of selkies, fairies and elves in Ireland, full of adult concerns and sadness, childhood wonder and delight. It's one of the best children's cartoons of the past few years.
'Spare Parts' makes a case for the value of America's undocumented teens
"SPARE PARTS" is a pleasant enough run-of-the-mill outsiders-beat-the-odds dramedy in the "Race the Sun" mold. It's about undocumented high-school kids who enter a big robot-building competition and make a splash in that state most hostile to illegal immigration - Arizona. So, it's a little more concerned with making a statement than with covering new ground in an original and entertaining way.

'Beloved Sisters' is a romantic bio pic that plays like a German history lecture
Voice-over narration in the movies is a crutch, rarely used by anyone with the skill to use the visual medium to tell the story with pictures, as film was meant to do. But you can almost excuse the maddening fill-in-between-the-pictures narration of the lengthy German bio-pic "Beloved Sisters." It's a story of some importance and complexity, of the love triangle that entangled the great German poet/historian Friedrich Schiller and two sisters.

When it comes to villainy, Waltz is always pitch perfect
"The most cruel dictators are usually, in private, quite charming people," purrs Christoph Waltz in that gloriously precise, Oscar-winning Austrian accent. Not that he'd know. He's not met any, or played a dictator in a movie - yet. But give him time. In just a couple of years, Waltz has become the cinema's go-to villain. Quentin Tarantino unleashed him on the world with "Inglourious Basterds," for which Waltz won an Oscar. Then "Django Unchained" earned him another.
