Anecdotes
The newspaper clipping in Jane Redding's wallet says:

Neil Redding, Tragic Victim of Collapsed Economy. By Samantha Halbert, Cleveland Spectator.

Neil Redding, 76, was pronounced dead yesterday, the apparent victim of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The body was discovered at 6:20 PM, by his wife, Jane Redding. She told investigating officers that her husband had become increasingly depressed after learning that their life savings was lost by a New York investment firm. Investigating officers ruled out any suggestion of foul play, and determined the death was suicide. The wound was caused by a U.S. Army service revolver once owned by ther son, Jeffery Redding. Jeffery Redding died in the US invasion of Iraq. Ms. Redding said, "After Jeffery's death, my husband found it hard to regain his footing. When we lost our money, it was too much." Ms. Redding said that a memorial service would be held for close friends at a date yet to be determined.

Gaffes

Crazy elevator ride

I got to see this one on it's world premiere yesterday, at the Tromso International Film Festival. Not knowing what I could expect from this hardly known Norwegian director, Stig Svendsen, I was still hoping to see a nerve wrecking thriller about modern day terrorism. The film started out as expected, but it seemed very unoriginal at first. The main characters seemed too familiar and too smooth. Additionally I found a couple of the actors weren't any good. But as the film got going, it turned out this wasn't at all a dead serious thriller. A couple of really watchable characters showed up, and the scripted turned humorous, in a quite successful way.

The film goes on as a rare mix of comedy and thriller, that actually works brilliantly. The filmmakers have successfully combined a serious situation with humor, and the result is one crazy elevator ride. It owes a lot to traditional action comedy films, but at the same time it really is something of it's own. It's rare to see such entertaining films and especially films about such a relevant topic.
