Disney"s Animal Kingdom is The Best Night Time ParK | Night Time Safari & Tree Of Life Show
In his 2010 Australian crime drama Animal Kingdom, writer/director David Michd made a somewhat heavy-handed meal out of comparing the central Cody crime family to that of a pecking-order-obsessed animal kingdom; witness the wild-animal illustrations that dominate its opening credits, and the speech a detective gives in order to convince one of the sons to give up the rest of his family. By comparison, Jonathan Liscoan executive producer of this new American TV-series adaptation, and writer of tonights first two episodesrelegates the metaphor to a simple line of dialogue Craig Cody (Ben Robson) delivers, gun in hand, to Joshua J Cody (Finn Cole) in encouraging him to pull that gun on a bunch of angry surfers: Show em whos king, man.
Such subtlety is befitting of a series that, at least on the basis of tonights first two episodes, appears to be differentiating itself from Michds film by focusing more on being a character drama than being a fatalistic neo-noir. The Cody clan of Lisco and John Wells series offers a study of contrasts. Jintroduced in the pilot sitting next to his dead mother, watching TV in a numbed dazeremains as emotionally guarded as he was in the film. The most memorable of the films Cody brothers, the hotheaded Andrew Pope (played in the series by Shawn Hatosy)recently released from a three-year prison term after being caught in one of the Codys robberiesremains just as dangerously impulsive and mentally disturbed. And, of course, theres the matriarch, Janine Smurf (Ellen Barkin), ruling over this dastardly roost with both Ma Barker-like firmness and parental tenderness.
From left to right: Craig (Ben Robson), Baz (Scott Speedman) and Deran (Jake Weary) Cody / TNT
The other Cody siblings, however, are filled in with more detail. Deran (Jake Weary), the youngest, feels an extra need to prove himself to Smurfa frustration that only increases when J, forced to live with Smurf (Js grandmother) and the gang after his mothers death, enters the picture. No such underpinnings drive Craig (Ben Robson), the middle child, who takes drugs and sleeps with random women with reckless abandon. Perhaps the most intriguing of them all, however, is Barry Baz Blackwell (Scott Speedman). Hes the only Cody brother with a wife and daughter, the former of whom gladly partakes in the fruits of her husband and his clans life of crime. Still, these personal attachments appear to have somewhat domesticated Baz and made him more level-headed than the rest; at the very least, hes the only that treats J with a caring respect that borders on the paternal.
All of these character dynamics are put under stress after a heist at the end of the first episode goes terribly wrong, with Baz accidentally killing a cop in the process. In the second episode, We Dont Hurt People, Bazs relatively idyllic home life is threatened as a result, as hes forced to spend some time away from his wife, Catherine (Daniella Alonso), and daughter Lena, to figure out his next move. A mission to destroy a van full of incriminating evidence brings out Derans resentments in full force; after complaining to Craig about how he feels hes doing all the hard work while Smurf and Baz do all the planning and controlling of money, he goes so far as to propose that he and his brother plan their own crimes if the status quo remains intact. As for Craig, the gunshot wound he sustains near his left shoulder as a result of the heist doesnt get any better, even after all the painkillers he illegally procures; by the end of the episode, Baz is forced to drive Craig down to Mexico to get necessary treatment.
It is in Mexico, by the way, that Lisco unveils his kind-of cliffhanger to close out the episode: a shot of Baz embracing and kissing a Mexican woman he seems to know intimately, suggesting that hes carrying on an extramarital affair, the nature of which will be revealed soon enough. This comes on top of a tantalizing exchange earlier in the episode between Pope and Catherine that implies their own affair. Unrelated but similarly curiosity-piquing is a quick flashback to Smurf as a young girl while the adult version rummages through a bathroom medicine cabinet. Not much happens in that seconds-long flashback: Its just young Janine closing a medicine cabinet and heeding her mothers call to come quickly. But it leaves present-day Smurf momentarily flustered. Perhaps Lisco will dive more into her own personal backstory as the series progresseswhich is something that Michd never bothered to do in his film. Such moments are clever ways of drawing us closer into these characters lives, indicating Liscos desire to explore them as flesh-and-blood people.
Through it all, the emotionally reserved J remains the closest Animal Kingdom has an audience surrogate: the outsider observing these morally suspect specimens from a distance. And yet, whereas the J of Michds film was painted as a paragon of morality in an environment bereft of it, the J of Lisco and Wells series is more ambiguous, if still essentially sympathetic. Certainly, considering how his mother inadvertently killed herself, one can grasp why he would find Smurfs affection more bracing. And despite Popes skepticism of J, the rest of the Cody brothers gradually come to embrace J with open arms. But if Js violent lashing-out towards the drug dealer that sold his mother the drugs that killed her and the smile on his face while he beats up another drug dealer along with Craig is any indication, Ja seemingly intelligent kid who appears to be doing well in schoolmay be on a path to corruption the more he learns about his new family. Its hard to be sure at this point, especially because as J, Finn Cole does such an impressive job of conveying an elusive, mysterious quality through his laconicism. Such aloofness characterizes the show as a whole so far, with only the slick, sunny Oceanside, California, settings offering any sense of glamourthe kind of glamour that the Cody clan repeatedly turns to crime to procure for themselves.
Stray Observations
Only in the second episode do we finally see an opening-credits sequence for Animal Kingdomand, with its gritty Atticus Ross music and intercutting between jagged images of idyllic pleasure and violent pain, it strongly recalls that of David Finchers Seven.
In the pilot, upon seeing J wearing yellow sneakers, Craig suggests, among other things, buying Nike Dunksbut not the orange ones; those are just gay. Then, in the second episode, we get a glimpse of Deran in a beach bathroom stall getting what appears to be a b******b from the drug dealer supplying him with painkillers before he starts beating up on him when he sees J walk into the bathroom. Overcompensating much? But also indicative of the series thick air of machismo thus far.
I never thought Id hear stoichiometrya section of chemistry that measures relationships between products and reactants in a chemical reactionused in a flirtatious context, but J unleashes that gem during his first scene with his girlfriend, Nicky (Molly Gordon).
Another sign of Liscos refreshing ability to suggest meaning through gestures rather than expository dialogue: Js gesture of throwing her mothers smartphone into the sea as a way of trying to put his past behind him.
Well see whether Popes seeming fixation on Nickyas evidenced by the creepy way he picks her up from a couch as she sleeps laying her head on Js lap and puts her onto a bedleads to something much more, um, troubling in the future.
Remainer Ed Vaizey savaged by facts and has no answers against Brexit
So-called Brexit concerns already have significantly jolted financial markets, but more could be in store if the fears become reality and the U.K. votes to exit the European Union.
One of the biggest beneficiaries of disquiet that Britons could opt to leave the EU at its June 23 referendum, is gold.
Gold futures
GCQ6, +0.50%
are set to rise as much as 8.5% from current levels, according to James Butterfill, head of research and investment strategy at ETF Securities.
Brexit would be very beneficial for shorting sterling and we will probably see a big pick up in gold. In that scenario we think gold could hit $1,400 [an ounce], he said on the sidelines of the Inside ETFs Europe conference in Amsterdam.
Weve looked at previous risk events and for instance when Greece nearly left the Eurozone [in the summer of 2015] we saw really elevated futures positioning. We are making the assumption that we would see net longs for quite an extended period of time in gold in a Brexit scenario, he said. He stressed, however, that a U.K. exit from the EU, or Brexit, isn"t what he thinks will mostly likely occur.
Early polling suggests that the vote next week will be close. Recent surveys show an increase in support for the leave campaign. Meanwhile, the bookmakers are still pointing to a narrow win for the stay camp. That uncertainty is fueling jitters in the financial markets. The pound
GBPUSD, +0.0493%
for example, has shaved off 2.5% against the dollar in June so far, while the U.K. blue-chip benchmark, the FTSE 100 index
UKX, +0.73%
is down 4.4%.
Gold, on the other hand has been one of the best performing assets with a 5.9% rise this month. Since the beginning of 2016, the metal has rallied a whopping 22%. That compares with a lackluster 1.6% gain for the S&P 500
SPX, -0.18%
and 12% drop in the Stoxx Europe 600 index
SXXP, +0.97%
Butterfill said ETF Securities has seen an inflow of $2.6 billion into gold this year, boosting the metals share of the companys asset under management to 14%.
I think it has happened for various reasons. One is Brexit, another is a non-establishment presidential candidate in the U.S., he said, referring to the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump. He said the other concern is the Federal Reserves interest-rate policy, which appears to be on track to remain unchanged for the near term, a fact that would be supportive to gold prices.
These are three quite significant risk events, so thats why we are seeing popularity with gold, Butterfill said.
That also means a rally to $1,400 an ounce would have legs and not just translate into a short-term shaven trade, Butterfill said.
I was actually surprised when [Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen] mentioned Brexit for the first time in her speech last Monday. Its clear they are thinking about how much instability it creates. The implications could have a domino effect with other fringe parties around Europe pushing for a referendum. Its not a nice investment environment, he said.
The August contract for gold traded around $1,288 on Wednesday.
DC Mayor slammed for late primary scheduling & low voter turnout – FishTank
Presumptive presidential nominee Hillary Clinton defeated Sen. Bernie Sanders on Tuesday in the Washington, D.C., Democratic primary -- marking the end of the presidential primary season and bringing the two candidates together for a face-to-face meeting to discuss whats next for the party in the general election.
The Associated Press said with 99 percent of the precincts reporting, Clinton has 74,566 votes, compared to 19,990 for Sanders.
Neither candidate spoke to reporters Tuesday night after their roughly 90-minute meeting in a Washington hotel.
However, the campaigns released separate, but nearly identical statements saying that Clinton and Sanders had a positive discussion about their primary race, unifying the party and their mutual desire to stop presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump from winning in November.
The campaigns also said the candidates discussed issues in which they share common goals, including increasing wages for working families, eliminating undisclosed money in politics and reducing the cost of college.
The meeting, which included the candidates" campaign managers, concluded with the sides agreeing to continue to work on a shared agenda that includes developing a platform for the upcoming Democratic National Convention, each campaign said.
Sanders said h**l tell supporters his next steps Thursday via a live, online video.
After today, the voting is done, but our political revolution continues, Sanders said in an email Tuesday to supporters.
Clinton clinched the nomination last week by getting the requisite 2,383 delegates -- a combination of superdelegates and pledged delegates awarded to her in 56 primary and caucus wins, including those in Puerto Rico and six U.S. territories.
Sanders has so far refused to end his campaign despite pressure to do so, suggesting he will keep trying to persuade Clinton superdelegates to instead vote for him at the Democratic convention in July, in a long-shot bid to take the nomination.
However, the Sanders campaign has occasionally suggested that the candidate could end his bid if Clinton, and the entire Democratic Party, embrace key parts of his agenda including better universal health care, a $15-an-hour minimum wage and free tuition at state colleges and universities.
Clinton said earlier Tuesday in an interview with Telemundo that she was very much "looking forward to having (Sanders") support in this campaign, because Donald Trump poses a serious threat to our nation."
Democratic National Committee Chairman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz said after the D.C. primary, "Democrats are ready to unify and take on both Trump and the Republican Party that he represents. At our convention in July, were going to nominate a qualified, capable candidate who will build on the hard-won progress of the last seven years."
I think the time is now. In fact, the time is overdue, for a fundamental transformation of the Democratic party, Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist, said Tuesday on Capitol Hill. We need a party which is prepared to stand up for the disappearing middle class.
Before Tuesday, Clinton had 2,784 delegates, compared to 1,877 for Sanders.
On Sunday, Sanders told ABC News that the meeting with Clinton will be about what kind of platform we have and what kind of administration she will have.
Sanders also told ABC that he wants Clinton to also specifically commit to a progressive tax system that makes big banks and corporations pay their fair share of taxes.
That Sanders, 74, even challenged the better-known and better-funded Clinton this far is a remarkable political feat.
The former first lady and secretary of state was expected to breeze through the primary. But Sanders, appearing to tap into voters frustrations with established candidates and money-driven politics, took the race until the second-to-last week of the Democratic primary season.
Along the way, Sanders won 21 primaries or caucuses, backed by legions of young voters and others excited by his promises of higher wages, free college and limiting the influence of big money in elections.
Sanders long-shot bid began with a key win in New Hampshire, an early primary that Clinton had won in her failed 2008 White House bid.
He showed his campaign was for real in March by managing seven straight victories, putting the Clinton campaign on its heels until late April, when Clinton won her home-state of New York.
Clinton nearly put the race out of reach with a series of early wins, including first-in-the-nation Iowa, and in delegate-rich states such as South Carolina, Georgia, Massachusetts, Texas and Virginia.
But Sanders scored a big comeback victory March 8 in Michigan that stopped Clintons decisive run across the South. However, he failed to sustain momentum, with Clinton winning the next seven state contests.

Hamilton cast performs "Alexander Hamilton" at White House
Historic sites connected to Alexander Hamilton are getting a lot more visitors than they used to, thanks to a little Broadway show you might have heard about.
Fans of the musical Hamilton, which won 11 Tony Awards on June 12, are hunting down every Hamilton spot they can think of, from his home in Harlem, to his burial site in Lower Manhattan, to Hamilton Park in Weehawken, N.J., near the dueling grounds where he was shot by Aaron Burr.
Kerissa Bearce, 35, an instructional technology coach from Fort Worth, visited all those sites and many more when she came to New York to see the show with two friends.
I pretty much dont remember anything about the founding of my country, but now Im learning all of it, Bearce said.
Bearce is among thousands of Hamilton fans boosting visitor numbers at historic sites that in the past were barely on tourists radars. Hamilton Grange, his Harlem home and a National Park Service site, had as many visitors in the first five months of this year as it did in all of 2015 more than 35,000 people. And thats a 75 percent increase over the 21,000 visitors who toured the Grange in 2014, the year before Hamilton opened.
Artifacts at the site include a piano that Hamiltons daughter Angelica played. A replica of the instrument is featured in the show.
But fans are also finding their way to more obscure spots, like the Schuyler-Hamilton House in Morristown, N.J., where Hamilton courted his wife, Eliza.
We have 5-year-olds, 16-year-olds, 30-year-olds coming here now. We did not have that audience in our museum before. We had 60-year-olds
Pat Sanftner, Schuyler-Hamilton House tour guide
We have 5-year-olds, 16-year-olds, 30-year-olds coming here now, said Pat Sanftner, who gives tours of the Schuyler-Hamilton House. We did not have that audience in our museum before. We had 60-year-olds. Its wonderful to have these conversations now with visitors. Were not just teaching. Theyre questioning us and theyre thinking.
Tourists have always visited Hamiltons tomb in the graveyard at Trinity Church in Lower Manhattan. But now, not only are more people paying their respects, but theyre also looking for the graves of Hamiltons wife, sister-in-law, son and his buddy Hercules Mulligan.
Visitors also now leave flowers, stones, coins, notes, even a potted plant, at Hamiltons monument and on Elizas stone just in front of it, said Trinity spokeswoman Lynn Goswick.
The shows star and creator, Lin-Manuel Miranda, wrote part of Hamilton at the Morris-Jumel Mansion in Manhattans Washington Heights. The mansions executive director, Carol Ward, estimates that half of their visitors now come because of the show.
The show has gotten people interested in history in a completely new, fresh way
Carol Ward, Morris-Jumel Mansion executive director
Weve been riding the wave, Ward said. The show has gotten people interested in history in a completely new, fresh way.
The Morris-Jumel Mansion is known for a dinner party hosted there by President George Washington for his Cabinet, attended by Hamilton, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. (A different dinner party depicted in the shows song The Room Where It Happens took place at Jeffersons residence, now marked with a plaque at 57 Maiden Lane in Lower Manhattan.) But the mansion has a Burr connection, too: Burr married the rich widow who owned the house. She later divorced Burr, and her lawyer was Hamiltons son.
A truly obscure spot on the Hamilton trail is a well where a womans body was found in 1800, located in Manhattans SoHo neighborhood. Hamilton and Burr defended the womans lover against a murder charge, and while the well isnt mentioned in the musical, the trial is referenced in one song. That was enough to send Bearce and her friends looking for the well, now located inside the COS clothing store on Spring Street.
We were in pursuit of that well, said Bearce.
Other pilgrimage sites include Hamilton statues in Central Park and at Columbia University. A sign outside 82 Jane St. in Greenwich Village marks the site where Hamilton was taken to die after the duel left him mortally wounded.
Some destinations are advertising in the Broadway Playbill for Hamilton, including the Caribbean island of Nevis, where Hamilton was born, and the Museum of American Finance on Wall Street, where Hamilton founded the Bank of New York. The museum has an Alexander Hamilton Room.
The I Love NY tourism campaign is pitching sites from a Path Through History trail using lyrics from the show.
The Alexander Hamilton Awareness Society (AHA) has been holding Hamilton celebrations since 2012, but bigger turnouts are expected this year for AHAs Celebrate Hamilton programs. Events scheduled for July include the Young Immigrant Hamilton Tour, July 7-8, in Elizabeth, N.J., where Hamilton attended prep school, and a July 7 talk about Hamilton as Spymaster, focusing on his espionage work, at Fraunces Tavern in Lower Manhattan.
The New-York Historical Society launches Summer of Hamilton July 4 with a variety of programs, plus artifacts like the pamphlet admitting Hamiltons affair with Maria Reynolds. Hamilton items already on display at the society include a pair of statues depicting him and Burr facing off in the duel, along with replicas of their pistols.
The I Love NY tourism campaign is pitching sites from a Path Through History trail using lyrics from the show. For example, as Washingtons right-hand man, Hamilton was a guest at the Van Wyck Homestead in Fishkill, N.Y. Elizas sister Angelica sings shes always by your side at Elizas wedding to Hamilton at the Schuyler Mansion in Albany.
And at the Dutchess County Courthouse in Poughkeepsie, Hamilton argued for ratification of the Constitution, as in, Were making history.
James Cordens latest Carpool Karaoke segment of theLate Late Show is one for the books. No matter how fantastic Cordens past celebrity guests may have been, this carpool, featuring the Red Hot Chili Peppers,involves grown men wrestling and a car full of shirtless dudesit just doesnt get much more striking than that.
As the gang jammed out to classics like Cant Stop, Give It Away Now, and Under The Bridge, they exchanged delightfully bizarre banter. They partook in some serious head banging and busted out some major dance moves (it was basically a free Red Hot Chili Peppers concert). They regaled Corden with a tale of a pot-fueled camping trip they took as teenagers. In a sweet moment, lead singer Anthony Kiedis and bassist Flea revealed that in all their years of making music together, theyve never had a real fight. At one point, Corden and Flea even broke into Food Glorious Food from the musicalOliver, because why not?
The peak of the groups hijinks, however, arrived when Corden and Kiedis challenged each other to a wrestling match. I love a good man wrestle, Corden said. A grapple, no puncheslike a hold-down. Natch, they pulled over and found a strangers front lawn to hold their match on. Kiedis won almost immediately. I didnt see that coming, Kiedis, Corden sighed. Oh, and if that all werent wild enough, Flea, Kiedis, and Corden then proceeded to take their shirts off (their fellow band members opted to remain clothed.) All in all, it was nothing short of glorious. Watch it for yourself below and prepare to dance along.
