Morning Y'all, It's that time again, new Leverage! Tonight episode is called The Bottle Job: "The LEVERAGE team runs a high-tech version of a classic con on a predatory loan shark in order to save McRory's bar." Sneak Peek is below...
Small Screen Scoop has given an advance review of the episode. " The Bottle Job premieres Wednesday, January 20th at 10 p.m. ET/PT. In this episode of Leverage Nate wanted to run “The Wire” which is a con that usually takes three weeks…and they only had less than two hours. Yipes! They run this classic con on a loan shark (who I always think would be cooler if they were actually animated sharks) to save a bar that Nate grew up in – McRory’s. Of course, we know that bars are a bad place for Nate to be with his drinking issues. But is one con enough for Nate this time? I dunno… Is one con as good as two?"
I will be doing some updates over the weekend, so look for that and I hope everyone enjoys tonight's episode... xoxo

09 Jan 2010: SUGAR BOWL SCREENS “THE DONNER PARTY” JANUARY 17th

SUGAR BOWL SCREENS “THE DONNER PARTY” JANUARY 17th, SPECIAL APPEARANCE FROM FILM’S DIRECTOR AND CAST MEMBERS
(Donner Summit, CA) – Sugar Bowl’s Judah Lodge will host a special screening of the film “The Donner Party” on Sunday, January 17th at 7:00pm. The screening will include a special introduction by the film’s director T.J. Martin, as well as a post-movie question and answer session with several of the film’s cast members. Tickets are $10 at the door, with a full bar and concessions open for the evening event.
Filmed in part atop Tahoe’s Donner Summit in 2007, the movie depicts the tragic tale of the infamous group of Sierra travelers, with critically acclaimed performances by Mark Boone, Christian Kane, Crispin Glover and Michele Santopietro. Originally titled “The Forlorn”, the movie applies stunning cinematography to rather dark subject matter, which earned the film an R rating from the Motion Picture Association of America. “During the westward expansion of the 1840’s”, Director T.J. Martin writes, “a group of California bound emigrants, known today as the Donner Party, were trapped in the high Sierra Nevada Mountains by the heavy snowfall of an early winter. When food supplies run low, tempers flare between William Eddy (Clayne Crawford) and his employer William Foster (Crispin Glover) over how the remaining meat should be divided. When Charles Stanton (Christian Kane) returns with news of food supplies stockpiled along the trail leading to Sutter Fort, the decision is made to form a small group to reach California on snowshoes. After becoming lost in the mountains and out of food, they must resort to doing the unthinkable to survive.”
Focusing on this survival in the face of relentless nature and subsequent moral dilemmas, the film has earned high marks for engaging performances and a captivating story. More psychological thriller than horror, The Donner Party proved to be a fan favorite last year at the Austin Film Festival.
