Wrong Turn At Tahoe Movie Review

By Siddhartha
Cuba Gooding Jr. after spate of flops on the big screen decided to do direct to dvd movies which are normally less expensive to make and the returns were decent enough to keep the ball rolling and he had been quite successful in that market. The biggest hindrance that came in the way for Cuba Gooding Jr. was that he needed to be better than his previous movie which somehow did not happen and what we were treated was in the end nothing more than mediocre stuff.

Wrong Turn At Tahoe is one such mediocre movie from Cuba Gooding Jr.'s career point of view. The story is the same that has been repeated number of times and normally actions speak louder than words which unfortunately is redundant in this action flick. However the surprise element in this movie is actor Miguel Ferrer who in the character of Vincent is a treat to watch. Its high time Gooding Jr. takes note of his fellow actors and improve his standards accordingly.

The story is very simple and predictable. Vincent who is a mafia don kills a small time drug dealer Frankie Tahoe (Noel Gugliemi) who incidentally happens to be the right hand of the biggest don Nino (Harvey Keitel). Nino spurned by the killing takes revenge on Vincent by eliminating his lady love Tiff (Genevieve Alexandra).

The movie ends with Vincent retaliating his loss by killing Nino and his men. The screenplay looks dull complimented by the mediocre acting. Director Frank Khalfoun looks like he had embarked on a journey in which he was not too convinced about. Except for the brilliance of Miguel Ferrer there is absolutely nothing in this action thriller.

"Wrong Turn At Tahoe" a misfit in the action genre.

Helping an Employee Who’s Struggling with Postpartum Depression

By
Going back to work is tough for any new parent, but the transition is especially difficult for those suffering from postpartum depression. (Remember, postpartum depression affects both women and men.) If you manage someone who has recently had a baby, pay close attention to how they’re doing — a parent’s struggle doesn’t always show on the outside. Some people may overcompensate by working too hard, while others may show a loss of enthusiasm. Familiarize yourself with the services your firm offers — which may include groups for working parents, health care coverage for counseling, or post-natal yoga or meditation classes — so that you can help your employee access support. Offer options such as flex time, telecommuting, gradual return, or peer mentoring. In fact, it’s a good idea to offer these things to all team members so that the new parent doesn’t feel singled out. Find ways to make supporting employees and their mental health part of your culture. Adapted from " What Managers...

If Your Team Is Overwhelmed, What Can They Stop Doing?

By
Project overload is real. But as a leader, it can be hard to tell whether your team needs more resources or just could be working more efficiently. Start by asking people to identify their key activities and how much time they spend on them in a typical week. Use that data to assess workloads and priorities. Consider which tasks the team could stop doing and which might benefit from having their process rethought. Pay special attention to low-value projects that have to get done but that take up an inordinate amount of time. Are there ways to simplify the workflows to reduce the amount of time your team spends in these areas? And last but not least, look for tasks that simply can be done more quickly. If your team is still struggling after these steps, it might be time to hire more people. Adapted from “What to Do If Your Team Is Too Busy to Take On New Work,” by Dutta Satadip
