dwayne bravo is a richly talented west indian all - rounder who , over the years , has been playing a handy role in fast - tracking west indies back into international prominence . bravo made his first - class debut for trinidad and tobago in 2001 - 02 and two years later , on the back of some strong all - round performances , made his debut at home against england . in his maiden test , he showed promise with the bat and also picked up 3 wickets though west indies lost heavily . in only his third test , bravo showed glimpses of prodigious talent scoring 77 and scalping 6 wickets in the first innings . early signs showed that bravo was a better bowler than batsman but he improved on his batting , opening the innings for trinidad and tobago and is now a much more accomplished batsman than what he started off as . after being dropped for the 1st test against australia in 2005 , bravo bounced back hard in the 2nd test slamming a brilliant 113 , coming in at a precarious situation . it was followed by a superb spell in the 3rd test where he picked up 6 wickets in the first innings . the next two years were not as fruitful as injury , followed by a poor 2007 world cup , marred his progress . in 2010 , bravo turned down a wicb central contract , preferring to play several t20 leagues around the globe . he lost his place in the test side but remained a regular fixture in the t20is . he was signed up by mumbai in the inaugural edition of the indian t20 league and performed exceedingly well . later , chennai bought him in 2011 and retained him for the next three seasons . before the champions trophy in 2013 , bravo replaced darren sammy as the odi captain . a middle - order batsman , bravo with his stylish cover drives and quick feet movement , exhibits the true caribbean flavour . he is also a brilliant fielder and brings energy to the west indian outfit with his acrobatic fielding . a more than useful death - overs bowler , bravo has clever variations up his sleeve and also has one of the best slower balls in the business .

if you win the first game in october , you only have one shot to find patient zero before team bravo bails you out to open box 7 ? we completed the main objective , quarantined 7 cities , and destroyed two military bases . . . then found out that by winning october quickly , we acted too slowly and needed bravo ' s help ? is that right ? we just got kind of a bad taste since it was the first time all game we hadn ' t completed a search track on the first try , and it was the one we had to finish on the first try . . .

the nato alphabet ( alpha bravo code ) was originally designed so that every code word is pronounced in each nato language in the similar way , so there would be no linguistic misunderstandings . there are some discrepancies , however ;
juliet

“kilo two bravo” stars david elliot , mark stanley , scott kyle , benjamin o’mahony , bryan parry , liam ainsworth , andy gibbins , john doughty , paul luebke , thomas davison , grant kilburn , robert mitchell , jon paul bell , malachi kirby and ali cook . tom williams wrote the screenplay and gareth unwin ( “the king’s speech” ) served as executive producer alongside alexa jago , alec mackenzie , norman merry , phil hunt , compton ross and lee vandermolen .
military units will sometimes use one of the letters as their designation ( for example , ' bravo company ' ) . individual personnel may refer to themselves or others in the military alphabet over radios ;

would be someone whose pay - grade is e - 6 , with a last name beginning with the letter c . ( alternately , the number is code for a position withing the unit . 6 usually is the commander . )

squadron leader steve carr was nominated to plan and lead the first wave of five chinooks that were to land the commandos , and he chose za718 to lead the mission . they overcame adverse weather conditions with visibility reduced by dust and smoke , all while dodging relentless opposition fire . “i was flying ‘bravo november’ on the first wave , ” recalled carr . “visibility was down to 1 , 000 to 1 , 500 metres – it was very dark , there was low cloud and the air was full of dust thrown up by american tank columns and artillery fire . our night vision goggles were not much use . we were flying at a hundred feet or lower and then we went down to 50 feet when we entered iraq . each aircraft had 42 marines on board plus their rucksacks , each weighing around 60kg ! we had removed all the seats , so the troops were all stood up , holding on to ropes that we had strung across the cabin roof . once we’d been cleared in to the landing site , the aircraft went in three waves , two pairs and a singleton , each element about one minute apart . the marines must have been pretty pumped up as they were out of my aircraft in 12 seconds . within two minutes over two hundred marines were on the ground .

old devil moon is turning 1 ! come celebrate with us saturday the 23rd starting at 12 noon and going until 2am . here ' s what you can look forward to :
and bruce dern ! he ' s one of the five guys that swamp devil is after , and the only one with an oscar nomination , so you know he ' ll last a while and possibly even survive . the early parts of the movie deal with the idea that he is actually the one responsible for the murders , which i sort of wish they had played with a bit longer . my guess is that they knew the movie would end up on syfy and thus couldn ' t be too vague without losing the audience , so the
mystery
over whether he is responsible or if it is actually a swamp devil doesn ' t have any chance to work - we see the thing in the first 20 minutes .
in 2013 , swamp devil released its debut 9 song lp the beast , followed up quickly by the dark , heavy , 4 song blood wizard ep in 2014 . soon to be released , pioneers ( 2017 ) is an epic , gold rush themed concept album . it features 8 huge , intense , finely honed songs and is the first recording with steve early on lead guitar .

is rather anemic . a lot of talk and little action is all that greets the viewer . the last hour or so , however , is much more fun as the swamp devil starts to terrorize characters on screen in the woods . it ' s all fairly routine , but if you ' re into this cheap monster genre , then you should be reasonably diverted by this low budget runaround . it ' s a rental at best , though .
this movie was unknown to me before i decided to watch it . i hadn ' t heard anything about it . it is directed by a guy called david winning , a canadian director who has done a lot of tv programmes . i thought that this movie was more like a made for tv movie than anything else . that ' s not to say that it isn ' t a good movie . i found it mediocre but i have to say that i liked the swamp devil itself . i thought that the special effects were very good , it was more the story that i didn ' t love .
a small party must split off from the wagon train to cross a lowlands that turns into a swamp when it rains . chris assigns flint along with bill and charlie to lead the small group . they are early for the wet season as rains can turn the area into an impassible swamp . flint led a similar group the year before but only he and chris know the details . a local indian tribe warns the group not to cross the lowlands because of a swamp creature they have heard but not seen . as they enter the lowlands a rain storm breaks out causing flint to order the people unload anything they don ' t absolutely need in order to get through . this angers the group but they reluctantly follow his orders . as they move forward flint comes across part of a wagon that previously tried to cross . they soon start to hear noises that sound like music from an organ or piano . when flint doesn ' t return from checking on the sounds , bill and charlie go looking for him followed by the others the next morning .
we are shown a young girl in the town of gibbington , vermont . she is in the woods near a swamp when she is grabbed by something or someone and she disappears . we cut to present day where a 17 year old girl is racing through the woods as if being chased by something . she is screaming and terrified . her dad and some other local folks are racing to find her . they find her , but they are too late . she is floating in the swamp , dead . of course , the locals think that her killer is an old man called howard blaime ( bruce dern ) who is a bit strange and they hunt for him to bring him in and accuse him of the murder ( no need for proof so ) .
when we cut to present day , we ' re faced with one of the genre’s most instinctively identifiable images as a beautiful blonde seventeen year old girl - - typically dressed in short shorts and a low cut shirt - - runs screaming bloody murder from the same dangerous creature in the woods . and sure enough , soon the homecoming queen is inevitably found deader than disco in that damn swamp .
so , she moves into his shack in the woods and she wonders where she can find him . he is living in the woods and trying to stay out of sight as the posse combs the woods looking for him with rifles . melanie and jimmy go into the local diner , shelley ' s and they meet jimmy ' s mom , shelley . she remembers melanie from years ago . melanie thinks that she is a bit strange . meanwhile , in the woods , one of the posse runs into the swamp devil which is thought to be a local legend , but who is very real , and he gets himself killed . melanie reaches her dad ' s shack and she is inside when she is confronted by a female cop jolene ( allison graham ) . then sheriff nelson ( james kidnie ) shows up and they talk to her about her dad and ask her is she knows something about where he is , but she denies it .

has become rather reliable in offering diverting , if completely forgettable , cheap creature films . there must be some kind of fan base for this series , as the line continues to persist and now even has an official website located
and there you have it : another sci - fi channel saturday movie offering that ' s now on home video . and yes , it offers just about everything that scores of other recent similar creature features have to offer . . .
is a walking bigfoot - style menace composed of green sticks , leaves , etc . it looks pretty silly and has the ability to regenerate and stretch . inexplicably , it also seems to have power over quick - movin ' vines and rapid - strikin ' sharp pointed sticks so that nondescript characters can be yanked around and impaled to death .
affirmative . tara reid , daryl hannah , james van der beek , gary busey , and f . murray abraham must have all been busy this time around , but have no fear , a grizzled bruce dern is up for some quick cash .
i could go on , but you get the picture . the first third of
as being in a
widescreen version presented to preserve the aspect ratio of its original exhibition [ and ] enhanced for widescreen tvs
on the dvd ' s back cover art . that ' s basically what ' s here . the image is anamorphic . it looks fairly strong , with only some minor video noise present .
the sound quality is pretty dismal on the disc i was sent to review , with a lot of warbled distortion that obscured dialogue and strained the score . this only lasted for the first 20 minutes of the movie , but it was very irritating . a hasty search for other reviews of
came up empty in terms of writers noting this problem . i can only assume that this problem isn ' t widespread . the lone audio track is an english language dolby digital 2 . 0 that seemed good during the last hour , though not exactly dynamic . i ' ve decided not to grade the audio track for this review , however .
and that ' s it for extras . the main menu only has two options :
line of home video products . if you like your horror cheap and dumb - and don ' t have access to the sci - fi channel - then this is worth a rental .

when you ' re running from the law and accused of a crime you swear you didn ' t commit , it probably doesn ' t help matters when your last name is blaime . of course , in the case of david winning’s multiple film festival award - winning monster movie
hoping to intervene and catch up with the old man before the local poster children for the nra do , jimmy fuller ( nicholas wright ) makes the decision to call howard ' s estranged , beautiful daughter melanie ( cindy sampson ) . having relocated to the city and cut off all ties with her father after the mysterious death of her mother when she was just a little girl , melanie is hesitant to return to gibbington so instead of owning up to the real reason he is calling , jimmy plays the
next of kin
card by telling her that her father is close to death .
while on one hand , jimmy’s lie does foreshadow what would happen if the town managed to get hold of the elusive recluse but when melanie surmises the truth , she ' s all set to turn around until she ' s told that he ' s now wanted for brutal murder . although she does not remember jimmy from the youth she ' s tried to block out - - nonetheless the two bond fairly quickly and their rapport is sped up considerably when he introduces her to his mother - - a diner owner who moonlights as a medical healer of sorts , managing to rid melanie of her perpetual headaches that are introduced immediately into the script as a major character trait but are then never referenced again .
nicely it fills out the 90 minute running time with some excellent character based suspicion and plot twists as predictably we realize that one of the major characters isn ' t perhaps the person we first assumed . in fact the strength of david winning’s work is evidenced whenever it relies on mood , mystery , and evolving character back stories as opposed to when we see the initially
are in it simply to see that man - eating monster . it’s this same group who gave it the “audience favorite award” at the philadelphia 2008 terror film festival ( who also rewarded the legendary bruce dern who first struck my attention as a kid starring as “yo rumsfield , dude” in
admirably , though—in pleasing both the die - hard terror fans and those just giving it a whirl - - david winning manages to elevate his work penned by gary l . dauberman and ethlie ann vare in a way that this decidedly non - horror buff fan could appreciate . in fact , having been sent rhi entertainment and genius products’
out of the blue , i ' m not ashamed to say that just looking at the box , it seemed like the type of film i would have immediately passed by at the video store or skipped at the multiplex .
- - surprised by the film that also scored director david winning a 2008 worldfest houston platinum award as the best director . and following its post - film festival life on tv prior to the dvd release , it also received the gold world medal for best direction from 2009’s new york festival’s television programming awards .
despite some problems with the sound quality near the beginning , the transfer to this region 1 dvd is excellent - - retaining the same widescreen aspect ratio as it continues , growing in strength audibly as the tension ratchets up in dolby digital surround . thereby , it makes this modern day b movie release much crisper and sharper than the heyday of the b sub - genre decades ago but boy , will you be glad you don’t live in gibbington by the time the final credits roll . oh yeah . . . and it also helps , if your last name isn’t blaime .
don ' t miss a movie : extras , extras to read all about it .

actor bruce dern broke his leg on camera running in the woods , one week into the shoot . he finished the film on crutches with various photo doubles and camera tricks employed to complete production .
bruce dern ( the incredible 2 - headed transplant ; twixt ; coffin baby ) , cindy sampson ( high plains invaders ; the shrine ; supernatural ) , nicolas wright and robert higden .
melanie blaine returns to her small backwoods country hometown of gibbington to check on her estranged ex - sheriff father howard , who’s the primary suspect in a series of grisly murders . nice guy local jimmy fuller helps melanie out and she eventually finds her dad and discovers that something not human and much more sinister than a mere mortal man is responsible for the killings…
“… despite a silly concept and even sillier - looking villain , the content is treated with a straight face that’s oddly admirable . the cast commits fully , and bruce dern’s veteran presence anchors the film . the pace is thankfully brisk , elevating it to the level of benign background filler rather than irritating , change - the - channel garbage . ” mark h . harris , urltoken

, adding many of the things that made the movie so good ( including the ending , from what i understand ) . luckily , my optimism wasn ' t unfounded ; while hardly the sort of movie i ' d run out and buy so i could watch it forever and ever , it ' s one of the more enjoyable maneater films and even brushes with
genuinely good horror movie
territory every now and then .
it ' s amusing to me , many of the maneater films i ' ve really liked deal with non real world monsters . the series ' name seems to suggest every day animals : tigers , wolves , sharks , etc , but my favorites are this ,
( aliens ) . maybe they should stick with stuff like that , stay away from wasps or whatever ( that is , if the series is still going ; seems like it ' s been a while since i ' ve seen any newer titles ) .
anyway , what makes this one work is an emphasis on characters ( there ' s only like 10 people in the movie ) and an actual motive for the monster . usually these things are unleashed and just kill whoever they come across ; not that there ' s anything wrong with that , but they all start to blur together after awhile . however , i ' ll never forget that
crossed with a skeletal demon ) who is actually the reincarnation of a guy who was executed by five locals back in the day . bonus : the guy was a murderer , so it ' s not a
wronged man seeks justice
thing ; our victims don ' t exactly deserve their punishment like in
or whatever , which gives it some added suspense . a big issue for me in a lot of these movies is i find myself rooting for the monster since the
victims
are all scumbags , so i like that this guy is more like freddy , seeking revenge for the death that he actually deserved .
hell even the cgi isn ' t as bad as i ' ve come to expect . since he ' s just a giant tree with super extendable limbs , he ' s kind of
natural
looking , as opposed to the usual spider - crab monstrosities that pass for monsters in modern horror movies . and he ' s often around trees , so the underwhelming compositing actually works in the movie ' s favor - he ' s not supposed to be blending into the scenery all that much , so he sticks out but has the same stuff behind him , which keeps it from looking too silly ( relatively speaking i mean ; he ' s still a giant walking tree ) . plus the attacks are cool - impaling with branches and stomping are his mo , and it never got repetitive to me .
it just goes to show how much the slightest effort in a script can make a difference in the final product . the cast , the budget , the locations . . . all of these things are in line with every other maneater movie , so why does this one work while something like
is borderline unwatchable ? so many producers or directors are quick to blame the budget for their movie ' s lapses , but i can usually look past budgetary limitations if the script shows some effort . a decent story as the backbone for your bad fx and dull locations can still produce a decent movie ; great fx and a globe - trotting production don ' t mean shit if the script was dogshit ( see :
hmad - ing is actually somewhat expensive ! if you can , help bc pay for his various movie - getting services ( netflix , amazon , buying used dvds , etc . ) ! thank you ! ! !
melanie ( cindy sampson ) is in bed at home when she is called by an old friend of hers , jimmy ( nicolas wright ) who tells her that her dad is very sick and that he is dying . he tells her that she needs to come home to see him . melanie is reluctant because she doesn ' t get along with her dad who went funny after her mother ' s death . she goes back to the town of gibbington , vermont where she grew up and lived until she was 12 . she meets her old pal jimmy who gets into her car and she drives into town with him . he tells her that he lied about her dad being sick .
she is horrified but he explains to her that her dad , howard , is being accused of murder and that he needs her at the moment . she decides to stay and try and help her estranged father .
so , while i didn ' t love this movie , it was entertaining so i will be kind and give it a 6 / 10 .
classic old school style sci fi . interesting characters . the female lead is very pretty but dont expect her to show off . she doesnt . the plot is pretty bad . good cinemantography but not film quality special effects . dont get me wrong i couldnt do better but i would have rated the movie higher had they used less if not any special effects . a great movie to watch on a lazy afternoon or while eating some late night munchies . erick

we have just paid a flying visit to the barrington tops , driving over the road from scone . given the bad reviews / reputation of the road we were pleasantly surprised at what we found . there were a few large potholes where the road entered the national park and the road was a bit rough in a few places , but generally speaking he road was great and definitely not 4wd only . we had light rain and i imagine that if there was a lot of rain it could get a bit slippery . perhaps we were lucky that roadwork had been completed recently . it was a pleasant drive . we treated ourselves at the tops organic retreat ( great food ! ) . i would love to return to camp and explore the area when i have more time .
a wonderful area but little help in finding activities - it is certainly picturesque but my wife was looking for bird watching . there was little specific help to guide her . it is quite easy to get to via the gloucester road , less time than the google maps or gps would show but the road via scone is treacherous for most cars - definitely 4wd territory .
this is a great part of the world . it can get cold at night - even on the warmest days in the middle of summer . we camped at the glouchester tops caravan park - which had some good spaces were you could get away from the caravans and cabins ( drive all the way through and go up the hill a bit for a great spot ) . we fished in the creek and caught a lot of eels - so the kids had fun . the river is small but beautiful . the locals are friendly - and like their beer . the caravan park put on fireworks for us at nye so that was great .
i was a little disappointed . while the views were nice , they were by no means spectacular . certainly no better than more accessible places , such as the blue mountains . what was very annoying was the poor infrastructure . the roads were not suitable for ' normal ' cars - contrary to the what the npws says , you need a 4wd . the signage is also inadequate , it is easy to take a wrong turn . if you like wilderness , by all means go there , but if you just want an easy ramble , then maybe it is not the place to go .
