Xbox 360: Prey in-game trailer (Nov 30 2005 21:15 GMT) - Pro-G has posted a trailer for the Xbox 360 version of Prey, the sci-fi FPS from 2K Games & Human Head Studios with a Native American twist. We’ve seen footage of the PC version before, but this is one of the first glimpses of the Xbox 360 version, which is looking brilliant. Prey is built on the Doom 3 engine and features a number of nifty gimmicks, like anti-gravity and an afterlife mini-game. |

The Happy Elf (Nov 30 2005 21:14 GMT) - TV Reviews: It ought to be hard to screw up a holiday special, but "The Happy Elf" manages that trick and then some. Unimaginatively designed CG-animated hour makes a pit stop on NBC en route to next week's DVD release, apparently as some sort of tie-in with producer/star Harry Connick Jr.'s return to "Will & Grace" for a four-episode arc. Connick croons a few incongruously jazzy tunes within the hour, but this irritating exercise feels like something the "naughty" kids should be forced to watch. |

The Girl from Auschwitz (Flickan fran Auschwitz) (Nov 30 2005 21:14 GMT) - Film Reviews: Portrait of influential Swedish journalist Cordelia Edvardson, 76, "The Girl From Auschwitz" is also the story of a Holocaust survivor, and a critical look at present-day Israel. Latest film by radical documaker Stefan Jarl is a potentially controversial item that looks like a shoo-in for non-fiction fests. |

About Sara (Om Sara) (Nov 30 2005 21:14 GMT) - Film Reviews: A knockout performance by Finnish actress Linda Zilliacus is the main reason to watch "About Sara," a drama spread across 10 years (and several partners) in an ambitious young woman's life. Present in basically every scene, Zilliacus is convincing in a way that almost overcomes the script's weaknesses. Pic opened locally to mixed reviews, but poor B.O. |

Unfaithful Women (Mujeres Infieles) (Nov 30 2005 21:14 GMT) - Film Reviews: Like a quickie that's forgotten by morning, "Unfaithful Women" is an overly busy and glib sex comedy revolving around a scandalized TV personality caught in an affair. Helmer Rodrigo Ortuzar's ensembler winks at larger issues of gender, mores and social change in a recently conservative culture, but spends most of its time churning out a swift and wafer-thin film that underrates its audience. Good local run in 2004 has sparked a decent 2005 tour of major and minor Latino-themed fests around the globe. |

My Uncle Killed a Guy (Meu Tio Matou um Cara) (Nov 30 2005 21:14 GMT) - Film Reviews: Less of a retreat than a time out for Jorge Furtado, acclaimed director of "The Man Who Copied," "My Uncle Killed a Guy" marks a pleasant matinee-style film for undemanding audiences. Despite a peppy opening sequence, pic's bland visual nature and concern for pint-sized detectives deducing who committed a murder points to younger tube viewers as the best natural base of fans for this minor Furtado work. |

Billiards (Carambola) (Nov 30 2005 21:14 GMT) - Film Reviews: The adage "Be careful what you wish for..." serves as a warning in Kurt Hollander's "Billiards," a rocky, raucous roundelay of urban characters located in a Mexico City billiards hall. Hollander's vid and 16mm cameras create a hyper-mobile interior setting percolating a series of betrayals and turnabouts by people who can't help but be hustlers. |

Traveling with Che Guevara (In Viaggio con Che Guevara) (Nov 30 2005 21:14 GMT) - Film Reviews: Tedious "Traveling With Che Guevara" has what sounds like a very good idea, following the late revolutionary's surviving friend Alberto Granado as he retraces the route around Latin America they'd taken as youths in 1952. But TV documentarian Gianni Mina's casts himself and Granado as camp followers to the filming of Walter Salles' dramatization of the two men's trip, "The Motorcycle Diaries." |

Nazi Gold in Argentina (Nov 30 2005 21:14 GMT) - Film Reviews: Titles don't come much more self-explanatory than "Nazi Gold in Argentina." Rolo Pereyra's documentary follows the money from the Third Reich to the supposedly neutral Latin American nation before, during and after WWII. Despite much deliberately lost or obscured evidence, helmer and his lineup of interviewed historians find plenty to suggest that receptivity toward ex-Nazis and their ill-gotten wealth remains one of Argentina's dirtier secrets. |

Race is the Place (Nov 30 2005 21:14 GMT) - Film Reviews: Race is the Place" is a lively survey of contempo U.S. ethnic-minority writers and performers who address racial divisions and injustices.

A Shot in the Dark (Um Tiro No Escuro) (Nov 30 2005 21:14 GMT) - Film Reviews: A mother's quest to retrieve her kidnapped child provides the tense and craftily assembled thriller "A Shot in the Dark" with emotional heft. The rarecase of a Portuguese film that's prime for a Hollywood remake, rising mainstream helmer Leonel Viera's pic rockets along with the kind of fierce energy and sense of screws tightening associated with the fiction of Jim Thompson in this cops-and-robbers battle. |

Tin Tan (Ni muy muy, ni tan tan, simplimente ... Tin Tan) (Nov 30 2005 21:14 GMT) - Film Reviews: "Tin Tan," an affectionate if super-straight film biography of legendary Mexican film comedian German Valdes, is a tribute and a record of Mexican cinema's flourishing post-WWII period. Famously know as Tin Tan, the comedian's rise and fall precisely track the country's film industry's. In a planned 35mm blow-up version, helmer Manuel Marquez' well-researched docu should be a hit with cinephilic fests and a vid library keeper. |

The Die is Cast (La Suerte Esta Echada) (Nov 30 2005 21:14 GMT) - Film Reviews: Two half-brothers, seemingly jinxed and doomed to a life of causing unintended misery, try to find some way out of their dilemma in writer-director Sebastian Borensztein's amusing if limited comedy, "The Die Is Cast." Mordant tone is pitched in a more mainstream register for Argentine auds than in Martin Rejtman's deadpan piece de resistance "The Magic Gloves," while slapstick aspects are toned down to attract more discriminating viewers. |

Culture Clash in America (Nov 30 2005 21:14 GMT) - Film Reviews: Culture Clash, the acid-tongued trio of Richard Montoya, Ric Salinas and Herbert Siguenza, deserves a better film than "Culture Clash in AmeriCCa". Filmed in a thoughtless point-and-shoot manner by Emilio Estevez during the troupe's run in a midsize Hollywood theater, this is a sloppily assembled concert film without the concert, barely beginning to convey to new audiences the 21-year-old group's disarming intelligence and exquisite performing chops. |

Instalar Ruby on Rails en Linux (Nov 30 2005 21:13 GMT) - Después de leer multitud de alabanzas hacia Ruby on Rails en varios blogs y de boca de cierto individuo, me he decidido a instalarlo y comprobar si es tan bueno como dicen. He aprovechado para hacer un pequeño tutorial sobre el proceso de instalación en Debian (o en cualquier otro Linux), que lo cierto es que es bastante complejo. También incluyo un mini-ejemplo de aplicación web en Ruby on Rails.Os adelantaré que el proceso de deploy de la aplicación web me ha recordado muchísimo al deploy de servlets en Tomcat, y de hecho, según dicen, Ruby on Rails pretende ser una suerte de PHP pero orientado a objetos, y además, elegante y divertido de programar. En sí, Ruby es el lenguaje de programación, que ya existía previamente, y Rails es un framework para Ruby para desarrollar aplicaciones web. |
