Go through hell and look cool doing it. Thats the vibe Igot from the poster for "Demolition," which uses a neatly quartered (with onesegment slightly askew) portrait of its male lead, Jake Gyllenhaal, sportingexpensive shades and wearing expensive headphones. Is that an overly simplisticreading of the actual film? Yes. But its also true that the movie, costarringNaomi Watts and directed by Jean-Marc Valle, doesnt exactly shy away fromthose semiotics.

Demolition opens with Gyllenhaals Davis Mitchell and wifeJulia (Heather Lind) driving around New York City and having what seems to be atetchy power-couple morning. Hes preoccupied, shes frustrated, and theyre ona phone call with her parents. The viewer cant get a read on the marriage:its strained is a good guess, but whether its truly crummy or justcircumstantially challenged is impossible to tell. Speculation becomes mootwhen an auto accident leaves Julia dead and Davis without a scratch.

Davis is zombied out. He cant get an M&Ms bag from thehospitals vending machine, and he writes an uncharacteristically confessionalletter to the vending machines parent company. He cant cry at his wifesfuneral. His father-in-law Phil (Chris Cooper), whos also his boss at afinancial shark tank, advises him to take apart his life and reexamine it.Davis, whos also found that he can no longer lie effectively, takes thiscounsel literally, and begins to physically dismantle various appliances. Andhe continues pouring whats left of his heart out to vending machine customerservice, whose human form is that of Naomi Watts.

If Davis prior life was a cold slate-grey corporate mess,the life of Watts' Karen is a lukewarm, pot-haze suffused suburban one, completewith a teen son (Judah Lewis) whos a handful of rock and roll attitude. You can tell theextent to which this whole movies narrative and its attendant lessons are big timebits of boomer wish fulfillment contrivance by the fact that it offers up, inthis day and age, a fifteen-year-old whos obsessively into Eric Burdon, DavidBowie, and vintage Free. The kid, of course, becomes an eager accomplice asDavis, looking for answers, takes down his entire house. In which he does,indeed, discover an important clue.

The yuppie-finding-his-soul scenario is a very old and notparticularly compelling one, and the fact that this film borrows elements fromRegarding Henry, American Beauty, Saul Bellows Herzog, and the JimCarrey Liar, Liar, for heavens sake, does not exactly redound to itsbenefit.

However, Valle directs with no small amount of verve andenergy, as if he genuinely believes he can bring something new to thisparticular table. The actors show similar commitment, with Gyllenhaal conveyinginner emptiness and/or confusion in a smartly understated way. While Watts isreliably vulnerable, its Judah Lewis as her son Chris who does the heavieremotional lifting. The scenario does contain a couple of unexpected stings inits tale, which almost makes the inevitable redemption payoff play a littleless pat than it might have under different circumstances. But not THAT muchless pat.

When humor is served black, they call it dramedy. When it's done in this movie, I call it indigestible.Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Davis Mitchell, a sleazy Wall Street bankerwho can't feel anything when his unfaithful wife (Heather Lind) is hurt in a car crash. At the hospital, just before she dies, Davis tries to buy a bag of Peanut M&Ms from a vending machine. When the bag gets stuck, Davis is crushed. He begins writing letters to the company in charge of maintaining the machine. "I think you deserve the whole story," he says. Get it? The letters are a way of expressing his grief.

Davis can't let his emotions out. His boss and father-in-law (Chris Cooper) cries like a baby. Not Davis. He opens up a bit to Karen Moreno (Naomi Watts), a lonely mom who works at a vending machine company. It's an appalling plot contrivance that made me want to write a letter to the producers. And there are more, many more.

Davis stays numb until he decides to demolish things. His father-in-law gave him the idea by saying, "If you want to fix something, you have to take it apart and put it back together." So there goes Jake, first by quitting his job and joining a wrecking crew and then by taking apart his posh suburban home with a sledgehammer, often while grooving to classic rock suggested by Karen's snarky son, Chris (Judah Lewis). Are you laughing yet?

Gyllenhaal does his best to find the fun and the feeling in Brian Sipe's quirk-riddled script. But director Jean-Marc Vallee (Dallas Buyers Club, Wild) keeps pounding the point that Davis must destroy his old self to build a new one. It would be funny if it wasn't so profoundly unprofound.

'Demolition' Movie Review - Rolling Stone

'worst home' in Cleveland' now demolished

Tom Meyer , WKYC 6:20 PM. EDT September 05, 2017

CLEVELAND - Cleveland NAACP president Mike Nelson credits WKYCand 'The Investigator' Tom Meyer for the demolition of what he called the "worst' house in Cleveland.

"If it wasn't for Channel 3 and Tom Meyer, this wouldn't have happened. Kudos to Tom for being persistent," Nelson said.

The home at E.100th Street and Garfield Avenue in the Glenville neighborhood had been condemned three months ago and was considered by Nelson and neighbors a threat to human safety and to property values.

Clevelander David Miller said his cousin lived in the dilapidated home years ago.

"If kids or anybody went in there, it would have collapsed. They probably would have gotten killed," Miller said. "I thought a strong wind would blow it away."

The home became Councilman Kevin Conwell'snightmare when council wards were redrawn. He had promised to have the house taken down by June. It didn't happen and Conwell blamed it on red tape and the legal system. In fact, Conwellsaid recently that he didn't think the house would be removed until late this year or early next year.

Following a report by Channel 3, Conwellsaid he took a lot of hear for the house still standing after he publicly pledged to have it demolished.

Mayor Frank Jackson tried to take credit for having the house leveled, calling it a collaborative effort between his administration and Councilman Conwell.

In truth, it was Conwellwho held the administration's feet to the fire and expedited the demolition.

"I was jubilant," said Nelson. "The community should be happy. This is a great first step to revitalize this struggling neighborhood."

"I'm happy," said Miller. "Now perhaps they can build a park or something where the kids can come and play."

Within days of the demolition, a large hole created from the demolition was filled with dirt and grass seed was planted.

"I said finally, finally the process worked and a major eyesore, something very dangerous was removed," Nelson said.

ROCKFORD Aldermen tonight approved bids worth $206,445 to demolish 29 vacant and abandoned homes from its demolition list, inching closer to the city's goal of eliminating 100 blighted properties this year.

Properties are chosen for demolition in Rockford using a ranking system that scoresthem based on structural integrity, whetherthe property is condemned and other factors. City Council approved adding another 16 properties to the list. City staff must conduct a legal procedure before they are demolished that can be delayed if a property owner comes forward to object.

Blighted properties tend to drive down quality of life in area neighborhoods because they attract crime, arson and vagrants. The demolitions are paid for through a variety of state and federal grant programs and a portion of sanitation funds.

Rockford has demolished about 70 abandoned homes this year.

LARAMIE University of Wyoming freshmen moved into the residence halls this week, but the campus two oldest halls remain vacant, and will likely never house students again.

These halls now ghost towns where first-year students lived and studied for more than five decades could be demolished as early as summer 2018.

University officials took Crane and Hill halls offline for the 2017-18 academic year in anticipation of a 10-year housing study and plan currently in the works that could call for the demolition of Crane and Hill halls.

That gives us our first ability to start moving on this housing plan, UW President Laurie Nichols said. If they were full, we wouldnt have that possibility. So, were starting to prepare ourselves.

Most years, UW leaves one residence hall empty. This allows the university time to make upgrades and renovations to the halls without disrupting students and opens up space for other purposes, said Eric Webb, Residence Life and Dining Services executive director.

We have had an excess of residence hall capacity since about 1990-ish, Webb said. Weve always had one residence hall offline since that time, which sometimes we used for temporary office space.

In 2016, Crane Hall was offline and remains offline now, though it was used for temporary office space as UW renovated or reorganized other parts of campus. For the 2017-18 academic year, residence life opened up four previously empty floors in Downey and Orr halls, which allowed the university to close down Hill Hall as well. This limited students to the four Washakie halls Downey, Orr, McIntyre and White and the Honors House. The Washakie halls are so named because they are each connected to Washakie Dining Center via underground tunnels.

In this particular case, based on the amount of students we have, we had enough space, enough capacity in our existing Washakie halls to handle the students coming in, so theres no logic in necessarily spreading them out over an additional hall, Webb said. (Its) just much more efficient to operate in the four Washakie halls versus using Hill or Crane.

The housing plan, currently being developed by KSQ design, will evaluate UWs housing situation and formulate a 10-year improvement schedule. The plan will be finished and presented to the Board of Trustees before the end of this calendar year, Webb said, but the administration is confident phase I of this plan will include tearing down Crane and Hill halls to make room for other living-learning community facilities.

The students who lived in Hill Hall last year might end up being the buildings final residents.

We dont think (Crane and Hill) would be used again, Webb said. We dont have any projects that Im aware of on campus that would require a need for temporary office space or that type of thing.

Now and for the foreseeable future, UWs two oldest halls and the dining area between them sit empty, awaiting whatever fate the KSQ Design plan holds in store for them.
