In advance of its New York premiere at next month’s Doc NYC, Kino Lorber has picked up the North American rights to Dennis Scholl and Kareem Tabsch’s “The Last Resort,” a charming look at a Miami Beach that no longer exists, as initially documented by a pair of talented photographers. In the 1970s, Miami Beach was home to a massive cluster of Jewish retirees, the original snowbirds who set out for the warm enclave to escape harsh Northeast winters, only to find a bustling and culturally rich new home.
This budding community eventually caught the attention of photographers Andy Sweet and Gary Monroe, who embarked on an ambitious 10-year project to document the retirees in their new paradise. Sweet and Monroe shot thousands of images of the community, with Monroe opting for more stark black and white images, while Sweet favored the kind of candy-colored photos that informed that early Floridian aesthetic.

The Finder
USA, 2012, imdb
Thursday, 9Pm, Fox

Episode 1.01 “An Orphan Walks Into a Bar”
Directed by Daniel Sackheim
Written by Hart Hanson
Episode 1.02 “Bullets”
Directed by Terrence O’Hara
Written by Matt MacLeod
*****
The Finder series is a new procedural series with an interesting premise and really good characters, betrayed by a writing staff that don’t seem to read their own scripts.
The show falls into the category of quirky, intellectually brilliant, but emotionally damaged investigators like Bones, House, and Body of Proof. Like Sherlock Holmes’ Watson, Walter Sherman (Geoff Shults) is a wounded veteran, although Sherman was wounded in Iraq rather than Afghanistan. Before his injury, Sherman was great at finding people and things for the military, but after he is almost supernaturally gifted at it, though this is balanced by his obsessive...

We have tried -- Mrs. Tater and I -- over the years to readjust the thinking of everyone we know regarding Christmas. Please don't give us anything, we've urged, nay, implored the relatives. Let's just get together and go out to dinner and spend a couple hours together and laugh and stuff and split the check and wish each other well and merry and go home happy. This would not apply to the young'uns, who still get their money etc., just to the supposed adults.
I say supposed because, despite our many entreaties, we have failed miserably. Which is to say, they have failed us miserably.
Every year we beg, "Please don't get us anything, we don't need anything, please."
Nevertheless, most adult factions of the extended Tater universe insist on plying us with gifts, to the point we have pretty much given up on our vision of our version of Christmas.
