‘The last Mohican’

The last of the mohicans. United States, 1992 (108 minutes). Director: Michael Mann. Performers: Daniel Day-Lewis, Madeleine Stowe.

Fenimore’s classic – with the Mohicans’ struggle to conquer the wild American lands – has been brought to the screen by the most diverse directors. On this occasion, and with a large budget, this interesting version is presented, directed by Michael Mann and starring Daniel Day-Lewis. Some concessions to the gallery, but really entertaining.

‘Waterworld’

United States, 1995 (130 minutes). Director: Kevin Reynolds. Performers: Kevin Costner, Dennis Hopper, Jeanne Tripplehorn.

In a post-atomic future, this film is developed, which was sold commercially as the most expensive in history. Kevin Costner will have to do with Dennis Hopper in this futuristic installment, which on many occasions recalls the series Mad Max. Cinephile winks and spectacular scenes for a film as wet (because of the water) as it is conventional in its result.

15.35 / The Sixth

‘Ocean’s eleven’

United States, 2001 (114 minutes). Director: Steven Soderbergh. Cast: George Clooney, Matt Damon, Andy García, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Cassey Affleck.

New version of The gang of eleven, a film directed in 1960 by Lewis Milestone and played by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. The result, as could be guessed by looking at the trajectory of its director, is shown as a remarkable and shocking movie of millionaire robberies that knew how to take advantage of the quality of a cast full of stars. A highly entertaining choral film, full of action, suspense and luxurious settings.

Join USA TODAY NETWORK columnist David McKay Wilson to celebrate Indigenous People’s Day this weekend in the Hudson Valley.

On both Sunday and Monday, Wilson will explore the issue of respect as he shares the story of the Stockbridge-Munsie Community Band of Mohicans – also known as the Mohican Nation – whose people called the Hudson Valley their homelands for thousands of years before the Europeans showed up in 1604.

He’ll talk about the tribe’s Trail of Tears from the Hudson Valley on seven stops until they reached their forever home in 1936, with a fun casino and annual pow-wow to boot. He’ll also explore the Indian mascot issue in the Mahopac and Wappinger Falls school districts, where school boards still resist open public forums.

Wilson will speak Sunday at 11 a.m. in the historic shed at the Tompkins Corners Cultural Arts Center, 729 Peekskill Hollow Road, Putnam Valley.

On Indigenous People’s Day on Monday, he’ll speak at 7 p.m. at St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church, on the Old Post Road and East Elm Avenue in Staatsburgh.

The last fluent speaker of the Mohican language died nearly a century ago, but Brock Schreiber of Bowler is trying to find ways to revive the Indigenous language.

A citizen of the Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican Nation, he said some people still know words and phrases of the language on the reservation in and around Bowler where about 500 of the tribe’s 1,500 citizens live.

“The more I learn (the language), the more I understand how important it is,” Schreiber said. “In conversations with Menominee people and with different elders I’m learning that language is the key to everything from how we (Indigenous people) viewed things and our respect for each other and for everything around us.”

For the last several years, he has been working to restore the language through classes and potluck dinners and is currently working to establish more Mohican, or Mã’eekuneeweexthowãakun, language teachers.

“A lot of people in the community want to learn the language,” Schreiber said.

It’s that time again to look up and peep the changing fall colors.

Driving the news: This year’s combination of good rainfall, sunny days and cool nights should result in a fabulous display of reds, oranges and yellows, Beth Christopher, a forester with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), tells Axios.

State of play: You should start seeing some patches of fall colors this week, according to the foliage predictions from smokymountains.com.

Some recommendations on where to go to be a proper “Mr. Autumn Man:”

Police say they are hunting to men who robbed an elderly woman on her mobility scooter as she took cash from an ATM at the Lloyds Bank in Plymstock.

Investigators say the elderly woman on a mobility scooter approached the cashpoint machine, which sits at the corner of the Broadway shopping centre and Dean Hill, at 8.20am this morning.

Moments after she took the money she was approached by two men who snatched the money and fled on foot through the Broadway, turned right into the covered path which leads to the main car park and then to the middle of the car park where they got into a blacked BMW 3 or 5 series estate. The car had blacked out windows at the rear of the vehicle.

The first suspect was described as being in his mid 20s to early 30s, wearing a navy blue hooded jacket, hair hair cut very short at the sides and longer on top – almost a mohican-style – a pair of grey tracksuit bottoms and trainers.

The second man was of a similar age, more stocky, wearing a light or light grey coloured hoodie, dark trousers. Police believe he is of Eastern European appearance with slightly darker skin and stubble.

The first male arrived back at the car first while the second man appeared to take his time and arrive a few moments later.

Police believe that there were a number of people around the area at the time, including schoolchildren and parents, who may have seen part of the incident or the two men racing through the town, or even which route out of the car park the men took.
