Kaela Suarez (388th Maintenance Group) 'Project X' makes 'Animal House' look like a church social By STEVE SALLES Standard-Examiner movie critic "Project X" is every parent's nightmare. Hopefully, it's not every teen's dream. Many of us have dealt with a cat's-away-micewill-play scenario, in which parents head off for a much-needed weekend, entrusting the family home to their teenage darlings with the standard edict — "No parties while we're gone." Usually followed by: "I mean it! and "I will be checking in from time to time." Baby boomers have seen this played out in the Tom Cruise classic, "Risky Business." Joel manages to pull it off, grows up a bit in the process and even gets accepted to his first-choice File photo (Left to right) Oliver Cooper as Costa, Jonathan Daniel Brown as JB, Dax Flame (in shopping cart) as Dax, and Thomas Mann as Thomas in Warner Bros. Pictures' comedy "Project X," a Warner Bros. Pictures release. college, all while taking a ect X." And no, it's not a huge gamble. remake of the Matthew Broderick/Helen Hunt No such luck in this found-footage fiasco, demonkeys-just-want-to-bespite a ridiculous attempt free movie that moved a to slip in a positive spin. generation to tears. This is called "ProjThis is the efforts of North Pasadena high school friends, Costa and J.B., trying to make a name for themselves by hosting an off-the-hook birthday party for their shy buddy, Thomas. Thomas is a quiet, normally obedient kid, who gets pushed by the brash, uncouth and obnoxious Costa to host a party. Initially, Thomas insists that it include only a few people and that the house be off-limits, but as the throng grows to hundreds of drunken, wild and crazy strangers, the trio loses control of events and it turns into utter chaos. Warner Bros. looked for an upscale Los Angeles neighborhood that would allow them to shoot over the span of five weeks, from 5 p.m. to 5 a.m., but not surpris- ingly, there were no takers. Shocking! So instead, the studio used a neighborhood set built on its own lot, much of which was eventually destroyed during filming — and still, real neighbors nearby called police to complain about the noise. New York disc jockey Jesse Marco kept the set hopping even when cameras weren't rolling to maintain the energy of the crowd that showed up night after night for the film's background shots. I don't want to get all "parent-y" here, but where is the social responsibility? This free-forall shows drunken kids having unprotected sex, while destroying every material object in their path. I'm all for having a good time, but this under- aged mob displays zero consideration for anything or anyone. You couldn't even call this hedonism, since a true pleasure-seeking hedonist derives no pleasure from pain — of which there is plenty here. Then on top of all that, this movie has the nerve to suggest that some good might have come out of all of this destruction and debauchery, because Thomas has learned to assert himself. Unlike "Risky Business" Joel, he'll be doing it with a now-empty college fund and a family forced to live broke and stuffed into a motel room. Way to go, Thomas. You showed 'em.

VENTURA Hilltop Times writer B e Cinderella for a day and try on as many dresses as you would like. Let Belle of the Ball program manager Holly Kelley be your personal shopper and handing you dress after dress, until you find the perfect one; or maybe the perfect two. Kelley understands that you just might want to take home your favorite two, to hold your personal modeling session for your own prince charming and make your final decision in the pleasure of his company. You may have seen Belle of the Ball flyers around Hill Air Force Base as you travel about; but when Kelley moved here in August of 2009 with her husband, Staff Sgt. Jason Kelley of the 729th Air Control Squadron (ACS) she had quite a concern: how to look beautiful by his side at his graduation ceremony from Airmen Leadership School (ALS), but do it on a budget. She sought out the program coordinator and began her search for the perfect dress. The Belle of the Ball is a special occasion dress loan program, currently with about 400 dresses, made available to any military member, spouse or family member with Hill Air Force Base access and the proper identification. Dresses are loaned out at no charge to the borrower with the understanding that if the dress is soiled or damaged the borrower will repair and clean it prior to its return. "We would like to continue to grow this program and receive more dress and accessory donations of all shapes and sizes so there is more availability of dresses at Hill," Kelley said, "therefore allowing us to share the Belle of the Ball dress loan program with other bases and give other military families the same amazing opportunity." Anyone interested in borrowing a dress for themselves or a dependent simply needs to call the program manager, Kelley at 850-543-7702, to set up their princess for a day appointment. Evening appointments are preferable so she can spend time with each person, viewing the dresses, fitting them, selecting and accessorizing. Once the selection is made a simple form is completed containing contact information and the description of the items loaned. Dresses can be reserved two to three weeks in advance to put a gal's mind at ease that the mission has been accomplished. There is no expense and the dress reservation ticket can be taken to Country Cleaners in Layton to receive a reduced price on dry cleaning at $2 for each piece. Donation's welcome Kelley continued to explain that some funding is provided through Utah Military Family Foundation (UMFF), but monetary donations are always welcomed. "We really appreciate all donations," Kelley said. "Donations are used for dry cleaning, mending of donated items and small purchases such as hangers and safety pins." All donations may be left at the A&FRC front desk and marked for Belle of the Ball. "We receive dress and shoe donations regularly from the Thrift Shop as well as from several 388th FALCON/Honorary Commander Members and from spouses and civilians of Hill AFB," Kelley said. "We've had some nice shoes and handbags donated that were in great condition." The program also needs children's formal wear for when military families have promotion or awards ceremonies or even family events and weddings, everyone needs to be outfitted "We need formal-wear in all shapes and sizes, kids through adult," Kelley said. Among other items on Kelley's wish list for the Belle of the Ball program, include some children's and young adult formals, crinoline petticoats of all sizes, as well as ccessories such as scarves, clutches, all kinds of beautiful shoes. Bracelets and necklaces would also be appreciated to give a gorgeous gown its final touch. Program's history Although the Belle of the Ball Program has changed locations a few times over the years, in November 2011, two very important Belles of Hill AFB saw the value the program provided to military women and spouses and secured its location in the Airmen's & Family Readiness Center (A&FRC)/Airman's Attic.
