Michael Douglas-Robert De Niro comedy 'Last Vegas' wins appeal of R-rating

By Todd Cunningham

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - BS Films on Thursday won its appeal of the R-rating initially given to the Michael Douglas-Robert De Niro comedy "Last Vegas," which will now be rated PG-13.

The Motion Picture Assn. of America's classification and rating appeals board announced the switch Thursday. The new rating for the film, which is to open on November 1, is for "brief sexual content."

Morgan Freeman, Kevin Kline and Mary Steenburgen co-star in "Last Vegas," which is directed by Jon Turteltaub ("National Treasure") from an original screenplay by Dan Fogelman. The plot follows four friends who throw a Las Vegas bachelor party for the only one who's remained single.

CBS Films in February shifted the release date from December 20 to November 1, positioning it as counter-programming to Summit's young adult sci-fi film "Ender's Game."

Family pitches in to save historic Oldham golf course

Mark Cumisky, 46, wants to add a cafe, driving range and putting green to the Bishop's Park and has already set his wife and three children to work.

A historic golf course has been saved after years in the rough ? and its new owners are? a family whose members are all set to pitch in.

Picturesque Bishop?s Park Pitch and Putt, set 1,233ft above sea level at Grains Bar, Oldham, had closed in October.

Council chiefs, sick of losing money on the Pennine foothills facility, opened it up to offers which sparked fears it may have been demolished.

But the nine-hole course is now to open again after being snapped up by an eagle-eyed Milnrow businessman.

Mark Cumisky, 46, wants to add a cafe, driving range and putting green to the site and has already set his wife and three children to work.

He beat off four other bidders to secure a 25-year lease and is now eyeing similar courses across the region.

Mark, who has worked on golf course construction and maintenance for 20 years, explained: ?I?ve been driving past it for 14 years and I thought it was a real shame the way it had been left to go downhill.

?I saw the lease sign and thought I?d make a go of it.?

Mark, who set up Pennine Golf Ltd with brother Carl, 51, wants to install a 280-yard driving range on a former cricket pitch next door and hopes to start work on it in the winter.

He reopened the 61-year-old course earlier this month and it has already become a family affair. He said: ?My wife, Colette, is going to run the cafe. My daughter, Kim, is working in the booking office while she?s home from university and my son Reece is working on the course with me while he?s off school. My youngest daughter Vicky is painting the tees.?

An agreement has also been reached with the nearby King?s Arms pub to host corporate outings.

Mark said: ?We?ve already had four or five companies interested.?

Coun Shoab Akhtar said: ?The facility was making year on year losses and as a council we decided to advertise it on the open market.

?This is great news for the borough and we?re delighted to grant this initial licence to the new tenant.?

More Sony Honami images leak out, confirm a 20MP shooter again

1. boosook posted on 3 hours ago 3

A phone that wants to compete with the best cameraphone in 2013 cannot lack an optical image stabilizer. I don't care about the 20mp, look at the Nokia 1020: it has 41mp but to deliver its super-sharp pictures it downsamples them to only 5mp...

6. kobainez posted on 2 hours ago 4

It comes with image stabilizer

9. EXkurogane posted on 2 hours ago 2

it's downsampling to either 3, 5, or 8MP. 8MP is good enough if you want larger photos.

15. tango_charlie posted on 1 hour ago 2

It has a far small sensor to compete with the 1020 and the lack of Xenon flash is another let down.

20. TakashiDeo posted on 1 hour ago 1

well its too early
the sensor size has not been officially confirmed by sony
so sensor size is still officially unknown
excluding rumours....

27. EXkurogane posted on 31 min ago 0

Such a small camera on the top end corner, i bet the sensor is even smaller than Nokia N8's sensor, not to mention absence of xenon flash.

24. jackhammeR posted on 1 hour ago 0

lack of a xenon flash is a big let down for a camera-centric phone

19. SonyXperiaNexus posted on 1 hour ago 0

in my opinion It is NOT a competitor to the lumia 1020 coz it is not MEANT to compete with it. its more likely a competitor to the galaxy S4 zoom and the S4 and iP5 cameras. this is meant to be the best camera on an android phone, not a smartphone.

23. jackhammeR posted on 1 hour ago 0

...and you obviously still don't understand the idea behind 41 mpx monstrosity..please, read a bit before commenting

2. aditya.k posted on 3 hours ago 1

Some please gift me this phone when it arrives! :'(

13. ScottSchneider posted on 2 hours ago 1

A flash will not be required when you have a bigger sensor, as ther will be plenty of light falling even when at low light conditions... A Xenon Flash or any other flash it may be will make the picture look flat... there will be no difference between the object and the background and both will lie on the same line (No 3D effect)... That is why top end DSLR's do not come with a flash attached, since most photographers will not use them with a full frame sensor or they will use light reflectors...

16. tango_charlie posted on 1 hour ago 0

True, but Honami has a quite small sensor. Because of that a xenon flash would have been welcomed.

18. TakashiDeo posted on 1 hour ago 0

well its too early
the sensor size has not been officially confirmed by sony
so sensor size is still officially unknown
excluding rumours....

25. jackhammeR posted on 1 hour ago 0

don't compare dslr with phones...xenon is helpfull to setoff disadvantages

5. TakashiDeo posted on 3 hours ago 1

awesome
just waiting sony

8. CX3NT3_713 posted on 2 hours ago 1

Looks glassy. And elegant :-)

10. jeff1434325 posted on 2 hours ago 1

why is it so hard for sony to put a xenon flash to this phone?...

17. tango_charlie posted on 1 hour ago 1

Cause people are obsessed by slim phones.

21. pyradark posted on 1 hour ago 0

bcoz sony dont want it to look same as 1020 bulky

11. xperiaDROID posted on 2 hours ago 1

The sexiest cameraphone! Come on Sony, bring it on!

12. neutralguy posted on 2 hours ago 1

Is it me or it looks like the sensor might just be too small for 20 mp?

22. itsdeepak4u2000 posted on 1 hour ago 0

I think this time Sony will be good in their camera dept. as their phones are not that great shooters e.g. Xperia Z.

28. anleoflippy posted on 15 min ago 1

The Exmor RS in Xperia Z is good actually, it's the software that ruins it. Sony has addressed this in a update. The S4, Oppo Find 5 and the Lenovo K900 uses the same sensors.

26. james004 posted on 1 hour ago 0

Its metal plate? I thought it was glass like xz

29. smallworld posted on 2 min ago 0

OMG I think it would be great if it had a metal back covered by glass. That would be awesome looking !
