Firefighters Nominated for Medals of Valor Fire Engineer Nick Facer of the Torrance FD has been nominated for a for Medal of Valor, and Fire Captain Kevin Carter – Nomination for Distinguished Service Award. Carter and Facer, while on vacation in Ireland, rescued two surfers who were exhausted after swimming in life-threatening seas. After rescuing the first surfer, Facer paddled for a quarter of a mile in order to rescue John Tracey, who confided to Nick that he should save himself as he (Tracey) had already given up any hope of surviving the ordeal. With the victim unable to swim under his own power, Nick gave one end of his leash to Mr. Tracey and began the long swim toward shore with Tracey in tow. At this point, a rescue helicopter arrived on scene and witnessed Nick tow the surfer approximately a quarter mile toward a rocky shoreline, undoubtedly saving the man’s life. The awards ceremony will be held on May 20th. See Community Briefs, page 4 By Ryan Rojas for CINEMACY Opening at the ArcLight Hollywood this Friday is Adult Beginners, an adult-aimed comedy about struggling thirtysomethings trying to embrace and make sense of newfound grown-up living. It’s light-hearted fare and an easy watch that will effortlessly entertain young audiences with its humor and heart. Just don’t go into it expecting it to add anything new to the genre. The film stars Nick Kroll as Jake, a young jerky entrepreneur seen living the good life in a swanky Manhattan pad, celebrating the launch of his promising new tech-company that is set to make him and all his donor friends rich. That is, until he learns of a defect in the device that leads to the folding of his upstart, sinking his along with all of his friends’ investments. Deeming the last three years of his life a waste, Jake is forced to reevaluate a new life plan. With no other options, Jake leaves New York to temporarily move in with his estranged and very pregnant sister Justine (Rose Byrne), brother-in-law (Bobby Cannavale) and three year old nephew. As a Big City transplant in the small-town suburbs, Jake prolongs his stay, becoming their “manny,” looking after the kid with the hopes of grounding himself and figuring out next step. At this point, the movie leans into the comic hijinks of seeing Jake’s self-centered sleazeball so hilariously taking care of the kid ensuing in the sort of generalities of a kid being looked after by a bigger kid that you might expect. Adult Beginners works fine with the gimmicky laughs of Kroll as Jake so ineptly skilled at taking care of a kid. He wheels the kid to the park in a suitcase-as-stroller and hits on the single mothers. It’s all fine, quippy banter, but the movie is more or less saved by its complimenting and Film Review Caleb and Matthew Paddock, Nick Kroll, and Rose Byrne in Adult Beginners.
