‘Gravity,’ 90 minutes of terrifying beauty Associated Press Writer
In an age when we’re able to consume content so many different ways — and that’s a good thing, mostly — let’s declare right now that there’s only one truly correct way to experience “Gravity,” Alfonso Cuaron’s thrilling new space film. In a theater. On a huge screen. And in 3-D. Yes, even for all you 3-D naysayers — we hear you, but this is the movie you HAVE to see in 3-D. And please, no matter how many months or years pass, don’t watch this film on your little smartphone. If you’ve seen the heart-pounding trailer, you’ll know that Sandra Bullock and George Clooney play astronauts who experience a traumatic accident in space. You may also know about the extraordinary special effects used to create this weightless cinematic world — so extraordinary that many are calling the
film a landmark of the sci-fi genre. But what you can’t know, until you’re in the theater, is just how much you’ll feel like you’re up there in space, feeling its vastness, perhaps even feeling cold. And how you might let yourself forget, momentarily, that this movie wasn’t shot on location. And how you’ll ask yourself, how did they DO this? And how you’ll then forget the question, because you’ll be caught up once again in this 90-minute thrill ride. Cuaron’s filmmaking prowess is no secret. His 2007 “Children of Men” was a masterful evocation of a bleak fu-
turistic world where women can no longer conceive, and warring gangs struggle for control of the dying human race. But while that film teemed with people, “Gravity” has but a few. It aims to evoke the full terror of true solitude — indeed, Bullock is alone much of the time. And though it doesn’t take place on Earth, “Gravity” is in a way closer to our reality — not a futuristic world, but one that exists today, though you’d have to be on a space mission to get there. If you were, you’d want to be with Matt Kowalski (Clooney), the experienced mission commander, cocky and totally in charge. He jokes easily with Mission Control (voiced by Ed Harris, in a nice nod to “Apollo 13” and “The Right Stuff”) while spacewalking with a new jet pack, but when disaster strikes, he’s the guy you want nearby.

NEW YORK — George Clooney knows the country is going through a tough time with the government shutdown. But the actor is optimistic that “cooler heads will prevail” and let things get back to normal. He applauded U.S. Rep. Peter King, a New York Republican, as one of the “guys on the right,” trying to get the government back up and running.
“I know for a fact that there’s a lot of guys on the right, Peter King, for instance, and some people like that, who are also doing the best they can to stop this from happening or to put an end to it,” Clooney said. He added: “You just hope that it happens soon.” King has spoken out against Tea Party Republican Sen. Ted Cruz. Clooney made the comments at the New York premiere of his new film, “Gravity.”

ForBali and Tanjung Benoa community rally
Demand to revoke reclamation decree of volume II Bali Post
DENPASAR - ForBali and representatives of Tanjung Benoa residents rallied in front of the office of the Bali House, Tuesday (Oct 1). The demonstrators expressed their attitude to reject the Benoa Bay reclamation and explicitly requested the House to make a recommendation in order to revoke the Decree of Reclamation of volume II. I Kadek Duarsa, one of the Tanjung Benoa residents stated that Tanjung Benoa community had strongly rejected any kind of reclamation plan at Benoa Bay. On that account, he asked the governor to revoke the second decree
as manifestation of his seriousness in protecting the environment at Benoa Bay. Meanwhile, Wayan Gendo Suardana highlighted again the issuance of the decree on the Benoa Bay assessment (better known as the
Decree on Reclamation of volume II). “When the House has issued a recommendation on the revocation and has revoked all the recommendations related to the Benoa Bay reclamation plan, the Governor should keep his promise to revoke
it, too,” he said. Gendo said that ForBali came to the office of the Bali House to express their aspirations that the House should take a political action. It should be taken by issuing a recommendation to ask the Governor of Bali Made Mangku Pastika to immediately revoke the second decree because it was the decree on reclamation,” he said. Gendo also mentioned the allegations that the group protesting and criticizing against the Benoa
Bay reclamation plan belonged to a mercenary group. Gendo expressly said that the activist movement was not motivated by money. “Today, the action of criticizing the policy with idealism is indeed scarce. Amid the materialistic culture, it is hard to believe if there are people are willing to take the time to go down the streets without the motif of money and promises to gain a power. However, we all belong to that critical and scarce people,” he said. (dgk)
