Rex Reed Still World’s Worst Film Critic. The movie reviews of Rex Reed inspire fierce debate: Questions like, Is he the worst critic alive, or the worst critic in history?

A Clockwork Orange is a 1971 dystopian crime film adapted, produced, and directed by Stanley Kubrick, based on Anthony Burgess's 1962 novel of the same name. E!

Is he a terrible writer, or a terrible person who happens to write? Is he a a greater waste of column inches or oxygen? Reed’s latest affront to the profession — of which he may be counted a practitioner only on account of the fact that he was not always an affront to sentient life — is his review of V/H/S 2, which he reviewed after walking out somewhere in the first 2. I say “walking out” even though Magnolia, which distributed the film, regularly provides DVDs to critics, since I’m unsure how Reed would operate a player without opposable thumbs.) Granted, it must be hard for any movie to hold Reed’s attention that does not promptly offer him an opportunity to deride an actresses’s physical size, but even so, it takes serious cojones to bail on a four- part anthology film having seen the work of only one of its directors and still review it.

Earth’s ancient oceans were rife with nightmare creatures, from many-limbed worms to six-foot-long crab-ancestors. This week, scientists are taking the prehistoric. Diamondback moths may be a mere half-inch in length, but their voracious appetite for Brussels sprouts, kale and cauliflower make them a major pain for farmers. This.

Reed’s review is short, so Criticwire is reproducing it in full, in part because at this point it’s clear that the New York Observer is simply running Reed for the hate- clicks: The subhead, which reads “V/H/S 2 is unwatchable from start to finish” amounts to a juvenile taunt. Frankly, I’m reluctant to give any further attention to a writer who draws a paycheck for making a mockery of a noble profession while intelligent critics scramble for crumbs all around him.

I know it’s hard to find qualified film critics in New York. Maybe try throwing a rock at the next Film Forum screening.) But seriously, this has to stop.

In this indescribably gory, violent, plotless and deranged purloin of every horror movie ever made by amateurs with a wobbly, nauseating handheld camera, seven unknown directors hell- bent on remaining that way enter a dark, deserted house containing a pile of VHS tapes. One by one, they insert the tapes, and onto the screen flash five [sic] episodic creep shows involving a mountain biker pursued by flesh- eating zombies, a cult of Satan worshipers and a sleepover invaded by psycho kidnappers told from the perspective of a Go. Pro camera attached to the back of a dog.

V/H/S/2 is a diabolically psychotic, sub- mental and completely unwatchable disaster that I happily deserted when a man with a retinal implant scooped out his bionic eye with a sharp object, splattering blood all over the camera. Your move, and you’re welcome to it. Read more: G/T/F/O: V/H/S 2 is unwatchable from start to finish.

America’s First Free- Roaming Genetically Engineered Insects Are Coming to New York. Diamondback moths may be a mere half- inch in length, but their voracious appetite for Brussels sprouts, kale and cauliflower make them a major pain for farmers. This week, the U.

S. Department of Agriculture approved a potential solution: moths genetically engineered to contain a special gene that makes them gradually die off. A field trial slated to take place in a small area of upstate New York will become the first wild release of an insect modified using genetic engineering in the US. The moths have been engineered by the British biotech firm Oxitec, the same company that last year caused a stir with its plans to release genetically modified, Zika- fighting mosquitoes in the Florida Keys. The diamond back moths take a similar approach to the mosquitoes, modifying male mosquitoes to limit the population over time by passing on a gene to offspring when it mates with wild females that causes female moths to die before they reach maturity. The technique is a riff on an approach used to manage agricultural pests since the 1. Using radiation, scientists made insects like the screwworm unable to produce viable offspring.

By 1. 98. 2, screwworm was eradicated from the US using this alternative to pesticides. In “Silent Spring” Rachel Carson suggested this approach was the solution to the dangers of harmful pesticides agricultural producers required to protect their crops. Watch The Lady In The Van Online Hollywoodreporter on this page. The problem was that it did not work on every insect—in many cases, it simply left irradiated insects too weak to compete for mates with their healthier kin. Diamondback moths are a sizable problem for farmers, and a problem that’s growing as the moths develop resistance to traditional pesticides. They do about $5 billion in damage to cruciferous crops worldwide every year.

In the upcoming trial, a team at Cornell University will oversee the release of the genetically engineered moths in a 1. Cornell in Geneva, New York.

After a review found that the field trial is unlikely to impact either the environment or humans, the USDA issued a permit that allows for the release of up to 3. It is caterpillars that damage crops, so the plan to release adult males that produce unviable offspring should not cause any additional crop damage. And any surviving moths will likely be killed off by pesticides or upstate New York’s frigid winter, according to the report submitted to the USDA. The plan to release modified mosquitoes in the Keys attracted much local ire—after initially getting the greenlight from the FDA, the project was ultimately stalled by a local vote and forced to find a new location for a trial.

In upstate New York, too, the moths have stirred up a debate over GMOs for the past several years, though the plan has not been met with quite the same level of opposition. The approval process through the USDA rather than the FDA, too, was much swifter. In laboratory and greenhouse trials, the modified mosquito was reportedly effective in decreasing the overall population. But tests still need to determine how it will fare in open air. Oxitec has released its engineered mosquitoes Brazil, Grand Cayman, and Panama, and still plans to go ahead with a field trial in the Keys. In December, the company announced plans for field trials of a genetically modified Mediterranean fruit fly in Western Australia.

It is also working on genetically engineering several other agricultural pests, including Drosophila suzukii and the Olive fly.[MIT Technology Review].
