The Sticky review: The Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist gets a darkly funny adaptation - 11月27日(水)23:00 

From 2011 to 2012, thieves stole $18 million worth of maple syrup from the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers. Among the most valuable heists in Canadian history (and arguably the most Canadian heist ever), the robbery earned the title of the Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist.Now, the Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist gets its own TV adaptation with Prime Video's The Sticky. Created by American Housewife team Brian Donovan and Ed Herro, The Sticky stars Margo Martindale, Chris Diamantopoulos, and Guillaume Cyr as an unlikely trio of maple syrup hustlers. The three have incredible chemist...morery — but in the end, is it enough to counteract The Sticky's long, winding road to the notorious heist that spawned it? SEE ALSO: 'The Sticky' trailer: Margo Martindale, Jamie Lee Curtis, and the Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist What is The Sticky about? Margo Martindale in "The Sticky." Credit: Jan Thijs The Sticky may draw inspiration from true events, yet as a title card reminds us at the beginning of each episode, what we're seeing is "absolutely not" the true story. Yes, people will work to steal maple syrup from a governing syrup body in Quebec, but that's basically where the similarities begin and end. Notably, every member of The Sticky's aspiring heist crew is fictional.Every member of the heist crew is also down on their luck, and growing more desperate day by day. There's syrup farmer Ruth Landry (Martindale), whose husband Martin lies in a years-long coma, and whose farming land is on the verge of being seized by the corrupt association that governs the local maple syrup supply. Security guard Remy Bouchard (Cyr) is the organization's sole security guard. Overworked, underpaid, and unappreciated by boss Leonard Gauthier (Guy Nadon), Remy takes revenge where he can — by stealing one barrel of syrup a month from the stockpile. Rounding out the team is Bostonian mobster Mike Byrne (Chris Diamantopoulos), who's looking to pull off a job unaffiliated with the U.S. crime family that hounds him. Pushed together by circumstance, these three decide to take down those who have wronged them by executing the sweetest heist known to mankind. But of course, as we've come to expect from any heist story, things rarely go according to plan, and Ruth, Remy, and Mike are in for a hell of a lot of sticky situations.

The three give delightful performances separately, but put them together, and you get dynamite.Martindale's Ruth is ferocious as can be, unafraid to storm the association's offices with a downed tree in tow or curse out Leonard in front of his staff. Cyr's Remy becomes a perfect foil for her, not just because of his links to the organization but also because of his mild-mannered demeanor, which can sometimes lead to others taking advantage of him. However, that mildness...

食べなくてもマーガリンの食感がわかる！ - 11月26日(火)14:00 

ポイント ・ ラマンイメージングと機械学習でマーガリンの品質や乳化状態を化学的な定量性に基づき評価 ・ 製造工程や保存期間の長さがマーガリンの微細構造に与える影響を可視化 ・ オイルオフが起こらず、食感に優れ、機能性が高いなど、製造者が求める品質の製造工程探索のための評価手法を提供     概 要 国立研究開発法人 産業技術総合研究所（以下「産総研」という）先端フォトニクス・バイオセンシングオープンイノベーションラボラトリ テイラー ジェームス 主任研究員、畔堂 一樹 招聘研究員、藤田 聡史 副ラボ長、大阪大学大学院工学研究科 藤田 克昌 教授、雪印メグミルク株式会社 塚越 詩織 研究員、田中 礼央 主査は、ラマンイメージングと機械学習でマーガリンの品質や乳化状態を化学的な定量性に基づき評価する解析技術を開発しました。   今回開発した解析手法は、マーガリンの口どけなどの制御だけでなく、品質管理、商品改良などを行う際の実用的な品質評価技術として利用することが期待されます。また、マーガリンのみならず、一般に液体成分が多く含まれる食品の検査や、製薬やその他の分野でも強力なツールになると考えられます。   なお、この技術の詳細は、2024年11月20日に「Food Chemistry」に掲載されました。   植物油脂を乳化させて製造する...moreマーガリンは、乳化剤の種類と割合、製造工程などが食感や見た目に大きな影響を与えます。乳化の状態を制御して、オイルオフが起こらず、より滑らかな食感で、機能性が高いなど、製造者が求める品質のマーガリンを製造するための工程を最適化するには、マーガリンの微細構造や分子分布を定量的に評価する解析手法が必要です。   今回、ラマンイメージングと機械学習を用いた解析手法によって、乳化剤の含有量、製造工程やマーガリンの保存期間などの品質に影響するパラメータに対してマーガリンの微細構造や分子分布がどのように変化するのか可視化し、マーガリンの品質を化学的な定量性に基づき評価しました。その結果、油脂相に形成される水素結合がオイルオフと正の相関関係をもつことが明らかになったほか、製造工程における条件がマーガリンの微細構造と分子分布、オイルオフにどのような影響を与えるかについて、定量的な解釈を与えることができました。マーガリン製造者が品質管理、改質などを行う際の実用的な品質評価技術として利用できると考えられます。   下線部は【用語解説】参照   開発の社会的背景 植物油脂を乳化させて製造するマーガリンは、油と水の含有量、乳化剤の種類と割合、製造時の攪拌速度などの製造工程が食感や見た目に大きな影響を与えます。例えば、より滑らかで口どけの良いマーガリンを作ろうとすると、固化したマーガリンの乳化状態が保つことができずに油がマーガリンから染み出す、オイルオフという現象が起こりやすくなります。しかし、オイルオフを防ぐために、マーガリン中の微細構造である油脂の結晶ネットワーク構造を強くするような成分や製造工程の変更を行うと、固くて食感の悪いマーガリンになる傾向があります。また、高機能化を目指したマーガリン製造のために、添加物を加えることがありますが、一部の添加物は乳化状態に影響を与えるため、成分や製造工程を再検討する必要があります。   以上のように、乳化の状態を制御して、オイルオフが起こらず、より滑らかな食感で、機能性が高いなど、製造者が求める品質のマーガリンを製造するための工程を最適化するには、マーガリンの微細構造や分子分布を定量的に評価する手法が必要です。しかし、これまでは光学顕微鏡や電子顕微鏡などを用いたマーガリンの結晶構造の観察や固さや粘度の測定が主な評価法でした。マーガリン表面の微細構造や分子分布の情報を、直接イメージングして定量的に解析する手法がなく、新手法の開発が望まれていました。   研究の経緯 産総研は、大阪大学と「フォトニクス分析の高度基盤技術を実装し、多彩な生体分子を計測する次世代バイオセンシングシステムに関する研究開発に係る研究拠点の設置・運用に関する覚書」を締結し、2017年1月6日より大阪大学吹田キャンパス内に「産総研・阪大　先端フォトニクス・バイオセンシングオープンイノベーションラボラトリ」を設置し、「ひとつ屋根の下（under one roof）」の体制で共同研究開発を実施しています。2022年1月6日からは第二期計画を開始し、「健康不安なく人生を楽しむヘルスケア社会の実現」を目標とした社会実証/実装研究を進めています。   本研究開発は、上記取組みにおいて大阪大学が開発した「ラインスキャンが可能な高速ラマン顕微鏡」を活用し、産総研 先端フォトニクス・バイオセンシングオープンイノベーションラボラトリ、大阪大学大学院工学研究科、雪印メグミルク株式会社の共同研究（2021年8月16日～2023年3月31日）により、ラマンイメージング技術を簡便かつ定量的なマーガリンの品質評価技術として利用する事を目指して実施されました。また、国立研究開発法人科学技術振興機構の委託事業「研究成果展開事業 共創の場形成支援プログラム（共創分野・育成型/本格型）（2020～2021年度/2022～2031年度）（JPMJPF2009）」による支援を受けています。   研究の内容 マーガリンは、植物油脂の中に水滴が分散する微細構造であるW/O（water-in-oil）エマルション構造を保つことで固化し、バターのような外観を保っています。マーガリンの保存期間、油脂と水の含有量、乳化剤の種類や割合、製造時の攪拌速度などの製造工程は、マーガリン中の水滴の大きさや数、水滴表面を起点として形成される微細構造（油脂の結晶ネットワーク構造）に影響を及ぼします。これらはマーガリンの粘弾性（舌触り）やオイルオフ（図１）と呼ばれる現象にも大きく関与することが分かっています。しかし、これまでマーガリン中の油脂と水の分布と分子情報を直接イメージングする手段がありませんでした。     そこで本研究では、マーガリンに存在するW/Oエマルションの微視的形態を直接観察するための強力なツールとしてラマンイメージング技術を用いました。研究チームは、大阪大学が開発した高速ラマン顕微鏡を用いて、マーガリン中の油／水の微細構造の分子信号（ラマン散乱信号）を２次元画像（ラマンイメージング）として取得し、基本的な機械学習アルゴリズムであるk平均法（k-means clustering）を用いることで、水分子、脂質分子、水酸基の分布の分析を試みました。   図２は、油脂を構成する分子のラマン信号を「黄色」、水分子のラマン信号を「青色」で表示したマーガリン表面のラマンイメージングの結果を示しています。すべてのマーガリンは、水/油脂が同じ比率で混合され、添加剤である乳化剤の種類や攪拌速度を変えて製造されました。また、製造後の保管期間が異なるマーガリンを用意しました。ラマンイメージングの結果は予想通り、新しいマーガリンと比べて、古いマーガリンでは油脂中の水滴のサイズと信号強度が小さくなる傾向があることが分かります（図２ AとB、CとDの比較）。これは古いマーガリンの水分が蒸発した結果を検出していると考えられます。乳化剤である不飽和モノグリセリドのみを加えた場合と比較して、飽和モノグリセリドも加えたマーガリンは滑らかな口どけの良い食感になることが知られていますが、ラマンイメージングの結果は、飽和モノグリセリドを加えることで水滴のサイズが大きくなり油脂相にも水分子が分散していることを示しています（図２：BとDの比較）。製造工程における乳化プロセスにおいて、攪拌速度が遅くなるとオイルオフ（図１）と呼ばれる現象が起こりやすくなることが知られていますが、ラマンイメージングの結果は、油脂相に十分に水分子が分散できていないことを示しています（図２ DとEの比較）。     次に、より詳しく水分子の分布を解析するため、水分子のラマン信号を「水素結合をもつ水分子」と「水素結合を持たない水分子」に区別して解析を行いました（図３）。その結果、乳化剤として不飽和モノグリセリドのみを加えたマーガリンは、飽和モノグリセリドも加えたマーガリンと比較して、油脂相に多くの水素結合が存在することが分かりました（図３ Aの上と中央、図３Bの左と中央の比較）。これは油脂相の過剰な水素結...

Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, and Richard Dreyfuss star as an unlikely trio of sheriff, sea captain, and shark expert. Together, they brave the waters off Amity Island to do battle with a man-eating great white shark. Though not as action-packed as today's blockbusters, this nerve-rattling adaptation of Peter Benchley's beach read was scary enough to drive audiences wild and turn the tide of shark sentiment against the sea beast for decades. Yet nothing in the fear-mongering Shark Week can compete with the man-versus-sea-beast action that goes down here.

Prisoners: The perfect Thanksgiving movie to turn into that panic spin - 11月29日(金)19:00 

The parade is over. The plates have been cleared. The family is gone, and you're full. Not just on turkey, mashed potatoes, and whatever cranberry atrocity is traditional for your clan, but also just full up on the holiday cheer. Sure, there's plenty of funny Thanksgiving TV specials to indulge in, family-friendly Belcher antics to binge-watch, and even Christmas movies to marathon. But maybe you're hungering for something dark and grim. For this acquired taste, I recommend biting into Denis Villeneuve's twisted crime-thriller, Prisoners. Why? Well, for starters it's seasonally set. Prisoners ...moreis a Thanksgiving movie from the start. Prisoners begins on a Thanksgiving that no one in this quiet Pennsylvanian town will soon forget. This is a place of cozy Americana, where neighbors gather together for the holiday feast and bring to the table good manners, warmth, and the freshly slaughtered venison from the deer snagged while hunting. Proud patriarch Keller Dover (Hugh Jackman) is deeply devoted to his family, doting on his young daughter and intently instructing his teen son that a man's role is as protector, no matter what. So, when his little girl and her best friend Joy go missing — ironically while in search of the "safety whistle" dear old dad gave her — it shatters something inside Keller. As his wife (Maria Bello) crumbles into despair, he cannot leave this missing-persons case up to the police. So while headstrong hotshot Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal) chases down leads both winding and grotesque, Keller tails his own prime suspect (Paul Dano). But this leads him down a slippery slope of vigilantism, vengeance, and possible damnation. Hugh Jackman roughs up Paul Dano in "Prisoners." Credit: Moviestore / Shutterstock Long before delving into the world of Dune, Villeneuve absolutely stuffed this film with heralded performers, including David Dastmalchian, Terrence Howard, and Academy Award–winners Viola Davis and Melissa Leo. Each actor sinks their teeth into a drama that oozes with grief, regret, and almost radioactive rage. Prisoners is a tale of rage and vengeance. This intense ensemble engages in a game of cats-and-mice that involves stalking, drugging, battery, torture, and more. Yet Prisoners is not about grisly spectacle. Aaron Guzikowski's riveting screenplay asks the question: In the face of your worst nightmare, how might you behave?While each performance is strong (even more so on a rewatch), the grudge match here is not between Keller and the man he believes took his child. It's between Keller and Loki, two tough-as-nails men who want the same thing but take radically different routes to getting it. In the face of your worst nightmare, how might you behave? The growling wrath Jackman channeled into Wolverine feels more dangerous in this context, probably in part because an R-rating means that the film is not restrained by the MPAA's standards when it comes to intense on-screen violence. But Prisoners is not so much visually gory as it is psychologically disturbing. Over the week its story spans, we are helpless witnesses to a good-hearted family man who transforms into an impulsive monster in the face of what he can't control. Though Villeneuve doggedly grounds the film in realistic settings and with a tooth-gritting tone, Prisoners is in part a fable about how wild the world can be, even in our own front yards. Gyllenhaal is the perfect foil to Jackman, delivering a performance that's still fed by...

September 5 review: a blinkered, noncommittal thriller about an Olympic hostage crisis - 11月27日(水)19:00 

An unremarkable real-world thriller, September 5 fails on numerous fronts: both as a film re-telling the 1972 Munich Olympics hostage crisis, and as a journalistic retrospective about TV broadcasting. It arrives with renewed relevance in light of constant, harrowing news from Palestine, but the movie’s narrowed focus — almost entirely confining the plot to the real-time developments within ABC's Munich newsroom — is a blinkered approach that ends up saying little about the events either in retrospect, or as they unfolded in the moment. SEE ALSO: T...morehe 10 best movies of 2024 (so far!) Swiss director Tim Fehlbaum brings clockwork proficiency to his screenplay (which he co-wrote with Moritz Binder and Alex David). However, his technical acumen is in service of a mechanical cinematic experience whose political outlook is awkward at best, and status-quo fawning at worst. That the film is now on people's Oscar radar appears to be an outcome of its appearance on one solitary list of predictions, despite it receiving little buzz out of its Venice premiere. Whether September 5 hits with award bodies remains to be seen, but to laud it with trophies would be a severe political miscalculation, an act that — like the film itself — is all bluster, and features little by way of artistic inquiry.What is September 5 about? In the early hours of Sept. 5, 1972, eight gunmen from the Palestinian militia Black September took the Israeli Olympic team hostage in their hotel and demanded the release of over 200 Palestinian prisoners — an event depicted in the opening scenes of Steven Spielberg's Munich. Among the first news stories of its kind to be broadcast live around the globe, this armed encounter helped set the stage for such coverage in the future, a self-reflexivity the movie hints toward, as its journalists scramble to bring the story to a worldwide audience. Far from saints, some of its journalist characters are downright opportunistic, which begins to paint an intriguing portrait of the future of TV news. However, Fehlbaum never quite follows this instinct.On one hand, tethering the film's perspective to ABC's makeshift control center offers unique insight into live broadcasting, a complex technical process seldom explored on screen. In that vein, the film is tantalizingly tactile, with its use of maps, books, and telephones re-jigged to function as radio receivers so the whole team can eavesdrop on German police scanners. On the other hand, the ethics of breakneck TV decision-making, and the media's role in capturing the affair, which took place over 20 hours, while making harmful mistakes — like broadcasting police strategies live on air, so the attackers could get one step ahead — play out in rote fashion. It’s as though September 5 were obligated to touch on every item on a biopic checklist, more so the logistics of "what" and "who" rather than the more emotionally detailed “how” and “why,” without exploring the broader implications of what’s on screen. Even meeting the movie on its level, within these narrow parameters, yields disappointing drama, since the edit rarely ruminates on the momentary impact of any event or decision. "It's not about details, it's about EMOTIONS," one character argues in a pivotal scene. If only the movie had followed suit. However, the issues don't begin and end with how the story is told; they're often tied to what sliver of the larger whole the movie chooses to tel...
