No words can describe these scenes, and none of the words in the scene had any depth. And don’t even get me started on the costumes, or the sets, or the complete over- use of the blue screen. Why in god’s name does a film taking place in the’30s need a blue screen? And not to be a chauvinist, but all the women are wearing bras and their breasts are perky. I thought this was the beginning of women’s libera tion; where the hell were the flappers, who were in style at the time? When see ing a movie, people should look for authenticity. This film has none of it. From Russell Crowe’s and Renee Zellweger’s abominable New Jersey accents to the silly characterization of all Braddock’s opponents, this film could use a serious face lift. Whatever you, the read er, take out of this, please understand that this is a true story and it is worth it to go to your local library to learn more about Jim Braddock. Better yet, watch seven hours of ESPN and hope for the best. ‘The Hot L Baltimore ’ marks another great production from CCC , Katie Wilson I The Clackamas Print Another great production from the Clackamas Theatre Department: Lanford Wilson’s “The Hot L Baltimore.” It’s a story about many stories, but mainly it’s about the dilapidat ed Hotel Baltimore (with the “e” now missing from its sign) and the people who live and work there. The set is perfect: a dingy lobby with a broken-down eleva tor, a couch missing cushions, dirty April (Sarah Griswold) complains of no hot water in her room. t Show honors CCC’s top artists ^^LACKAMASp^fif floors, and a checker board; a once fashion able place, now fallen into disrepair, remnants of its former glory appar ent, but covered in dust. The set causes a smooth transition between the world where people sit in their numbered seats watch ing a play to the world where the whole theater disappears and the audi ence becomes the old hotel’s ghosts, floating above and watching the stories unfold beneath them.
