Letter To The Editor: A Positive Experience
Movie production underway Wednesday on Rover Boulevard. Photo by Terry FoxxI am probably like many of you and wondered why New Mexico would support the film industry by giving them a rebate. I had an opportunity to find out recently when the No Exit Films requested to use our house to film scenes for “Granite Mountain.” Why they chose our house I don’t know and I must say I was a little hesitant at first. However, the Location Manager explained the process and we consented.
The process took three days to set up, shoot, and take down. Everyone whom I interacted Read More

Letter To The Editor: Relay For Life Week

Cinema Cindy Reviews Suicide Squad
By CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMB
Los Alamos
“Suicide Squad” is this late summer’s hit action flick, despite its poor reviews. It’s packed with super bad guys (coerced into helping the good guys), mostly derivative special effects, and enough character development to not be a total waste of your time.

The bad guy criminals are, themselves, weapons, tools at the disposal of the U. S. military. Each has his or her Read More
