Davisville, Oct. 16, 2023: After enduring 50 years of cinematic bafflers, reviewer Derrick Bang calls ’em out

Mon, 10/16/2023 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Bill Buchanan, Derrick Bang, Oct 7 2023.jpeg

All the baffling cliches you’ve seen in movies — idiot plots, hobbled assailants able to chase down a healthy person trying to escape, bloated tension-killing dialogue — these are all things Derrick Bang has endured over and over during his 49 years of writing movie reviews.

He recently listed several of these cinematic headscratchers in an article for the Davis Enterprise, and on today's Davisville he enjoys going over a few of them with program host Bill Buchanan (the photo shows Derrick on the right, Bill on the left). We also get Derrick’s suggestions for movies for the Halloween season, and his thoughts on the Chinese government’s efforts to punish filmmakers for work it finds offensive, even when the movies in question aren't shown in China. Such pressure could help explain why so many mainstream Hollywood movies are superhero stories, he says. “It’s not just because they’re popular. They’re safe.”

Fri, 10/13/2023 - 6:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

LOGO IMAGINING YD c3k x 3k.jpeg

Thriving Pink has a very simple mission: "Our vision is that no one goes through breast cancer alone, whether newly diagnosed or in long-term survivorship." On today's Imagining Yolo Davis, Joni Rubin explains the extraordinary group of volunteers who make it all happen.

Joni, chair of the Davis nonprofit's board of directors, "has more than 30 years of experience as a healthcare and wellness leader, innovator, and educator. Diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008, Joni relied on the support of family, friends, colleagues, and community throughout her journey. Paying it forward, Joni is a strong advocate for the breast cancer community.  She leads our outreach efforts, supports our mentorship programs, and is also a Pink Peer and mentor to many in our community."
