Summer Movie Preview: The night is dark & full of terrors

Invasion idea, the movie trailers bear a striking resemblance to Transformers, as they show a group of humans overwhelmed by futuristic weapons.

Men in Black 3 (May 25) Barry Sonnenfeld brings back the boys in dark attire for yet another round of sci-fi comedy. This time, we get the backstory for Agent K, the cold, hard veteran played by Tommy Lee Jones in the first two movies, but split this time around between Josh Brolin, as the young K, and Jones as the contemporary K. Will Smith gets to play himself in both time zones.

Snow White and the Huntsman (June 1) Clearly, there are common ideas that float around in the public imagination, because Snow White and the Huntsman is not the first Snow White adaptation we’ve seen this year. Easily the toughest version of the princess, Kristen Stewart strolls around in armour as she and the depressive huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) try to thwart the murderous evil stepmother (Charlize Theron).

Street Crews Still Getting Ready for First Big Snow | Eastern Iowa ...

CEDAR RAPIDS- The first measurable snowfall in the forecast this season means street crew in parts of eastern Iowa got ready to roll again on Friday.

Crews in Cedar Rapids have a lot more salt on hand to use on roads and a few newer pieces of equipment. But the Iowa DOT maintenance garage in Waterloo will get to experiment will something truly different this winter on Iowa roadways.

DOT workers in Waterloo got one of three tow-behind “super plows.” The Iowa DOT stationed one plow in Des Moines and one in far western Iowa. But Waterloo got one as well about a month ago. The idea with a blade in front and one towed behind is to quickly clear multi-lane roads of snow. Waterloo DOT driver Kip Siems said it takes special training to operate the biggest snowplow equipment that can clear two lanes with a single swipe. And he’s anxious to see how it fares in real life.

“It’s new to us so we really don’t know what to expect out of it. I have cautious optimism that it’s going to do its job. The one thing we want to make sure the public is aware of is it’s hard to see around for the operator so when you’re around them, be cautious,” Siems said.

Another common sight following the first snow forecast of the season is shoppers suddenly remembering the winter essentials. At one Cedar Rapids Theisen’s store, sales of shovels, sno-melt and similar winter products picked up speed for obvious reasons on Friday.

Stevie Jo Lewis admitted she could have bought the same snow shovel a week ago. But she said it didn’t seem so urgent then.

“I have to go to work (Saturday). I have to have a shovel to make a path to my car,” she said.

Another shopper, John Rose, said he already had everything he needed for winter and if it snows it “wouldn’t bother him a bit.”

Public works employees in Cedar Rapids put the waiting time on Friday to good use. Crews sprayed 10,000 gallons of a salt brine solution on main streets and bridges. That should speed up the melting process when the snow does fall.
