Mavado’s bail extended
DANCEHALL act Mavado is scheduled to return to the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court on November 21 on a charge of assault occasioning bodily harm stemming from a recent altercation at a popular nightclub in New Kingston where he reportedly assaulted an off-duty police officer.
A member of the entertainer’s entourage, Conroy Edwards, was shot in his abdomen during the June 13 incident, and succumbed to his injuries three days later in hospital.
The entertainer, who was born David Brooks, was summoned by the police and arrested and charged when he turned himself in but was later released on $30,000 station bail.
“Wah Do Dem” Movie Trailer
Max is desperate to get back to Brooklyn, where we see him do exactly nothing but hipsterize, which gives him a lot in common with the Jamaicans who mock and exploit him. They, at least, are up to nothing good. Max’s plan was to take the cruise with his girlfriend (Norah Jones, yes, that one). But, perhaps sensing what’s ahead, she backs out. His friends insist he go — well, there’s one objector: “You’re gonna miss the election!’’
Ah, the election — yes, that election, whose footage plays in the background of many scenes but contributes no sociopolitical texture. The image of a room full of partying Jamaicans going wild over the announcement of Barack Obama’s ascendancy is an ugly, meaningless sight. They’ve been filmed to seem like animals.
“Wah do dem’’ is Jamaican patois for “What’s wrong with them?,’’ a question you could ask at any point during the movie’s 76 minutes. Chace and Fleischner might have been going for a kind of realism, but they don’t open any dramatic or emotional door. Instead, they show off their inevitable taste in two-year-old pop (MGMT, Santogold, etc.) and product (Vimeo! Red Stripe!).
LOST BOB MARLEY FOOTAGE : MAKING OF A LEGEND FEATURE FILM
NAACP Image Award winning actress, photographer and filmmaker Esther Anderson created the blueprint of this film in 1973 as a kaleidoscope portrait of Bob Marley and the Wailers in Jamaica. Shooting intimate scenes with a prototype Sony video camera, Esther carefully constructs the union between Reggae and Rasta that launches the international career of the Wailers. Writing songs with Bob Marley and creating the image for the band, Esther’s original vision created a radical change of perception and consciousness both musically and socially around the world. Now, in collaboration with architect and filmmaker Gian Godoy, Esther revisits the making of the legend in modern Jamaica.

Titled Bob Marley – The Making of a Legend, the feature will have footage previously thought to have been lost. Read more
