Michigan-Made Film: Stick it in Detroit
The movie Stick it in Detroit, which stars John Lutz from Saturday Night Live and Kieran Campion from All My Children, comes out at select theaters in the Metro Detroit area this Friday. So, aside from an ode to the Motor City in the film's title, what's Detroit about it? Just about everything. The movie's producer/director/co-writer/actor, Robert Phelps, was born and raised in Detroit. The aspiring filmmaker was living in Los Angeles and working as a waiter when he came up with the idea for the film and turned to his high-school buddies, who were by this point living all across the country, to help write it. The movie takes place in Detroit, is loosely based on characters from Detroit, was 100% filmed in Detroit and, according to Phelps, "is true to Detroit." If you're thinking the movie is a cross between just about any National Lampoon movie and American Pie, you'd be spot on. The movie is about a group of friends who are still hanging out years after their time together in a Detroit-area high school. Specifically, the group of characters are preparing for their annual Halloween party. The plot thickens when their ring leader, Todd, is offered a promotion that would require he move to Georgia. While the movie hinges on the will-he-or-won't-he plot device -- whether he will stick it in Detroit -- reviewers love it for its cast of characters and F%#*ing Funny rating. In fact, the movie won the Best Comedy category in the Detroit/Windsor International Film Festival in 2008. Check it out! Special Engagement: MJR Theaters in Waterford, Sterling Heights and Southgate starting November 6th Reviews:

Did You Vote Today?
The 2009 election in Michigan doesn't have the controversy of a stem-cell-research proposal or the media blitz surrounding a presidential race, but it does have a lot of funding proposals and local government races. For instance, the ballot in Detroit gave Detroiters yet another chance to vote for mayor. Were the races and proposals in 2009 glamorous enough to get you to the polls?

Spooky Michigan Stories and Legends
Detroiters have arguably been desensitized to all things scary after having endured Kilpatrick's antics, GM's bankruptcy and mass layoffs. Maybe that's why we require ever higher levels of horror to truly get a thrill -- just look at the abundance of haunted attractions in the Metro Detroit area and around the state. As it turns out, however, a lot of Michigan's haunted and spooky happenings aren't manufactured attractions. For instance, did you know that: Want more?

New Sonic American Drive-In in Westland

Soccer: MSU Spartans Beat U of M Wolverines, 2-1
While football is the usual sport through which Michigan State University and the University of Michigan play out their rivalry, the Spartans hosted the Wolverines in soccer this weekend. The atmosphere (and apparently money spent on facilities) is a little different for soccer. For instance, there were no traffic tie ups; concessions were only available in trucks and tents; and restroom relief came by way of a line of port-a-potties. Worse yet, the Sparty mascot was no where to be seen -- although there was a semi-naked guy painted green and white. Even so, the Spartans took it to the Wolverines, beating them 2 to 1. According to the Big Ten Men's Soccer Standings, the game did nothing much to improve MSU's standings nationally (neither team is in the top 25), but it was a lot of fun -- especially if you're a Spartan.

Michigan Budget Woes and Unity Studios
Sometimes, perception is everything. If Michigan is perceived as waffling on its commitment to its film incentives package, movie productions think twice before coming to the state to film. If this in turn slows down the construction of Unity Studios and a news story on WDIV-TV marks the project as in trouble, the negative impression could spell doom for the studio and the state's burgeoning industry. Good News Rebuttal: The news story prompted a press release by Jimmy Lifton, the president of Unity Studios, declaring that the studio project is moving forward. The Lifton Institute for Media Skills starts its first class next week; construction has begin on the film stages, production services and post-production suites; and several movie projects are scheduled to begin pre-production in the coming months. We as a state planted the movie-industry seed, now its time for a little care and feeding. The Unity Studio project is still alive and a movie-industry in the state is still a good idea. Are we committed to helping this industry grow or not? More Information:

Swine Flu Vaccine Information for the Metro-Detroit Area
Unfortunately, the Swine Flu arrived in Detroit before its vaccine. While incidents of the flu have been reported across the metropolitan area, the vaccine has finally arrived in limited amounts. It is available to people in high-risk groups: babies, children and young people age 24 and under; pregnant women, health-care workers; and people with respiratory conditions. City and county health departments across the Metro-Detroit area have begun to schedule vaccination locations. Check the appropriate website for specific, up-to-date information. Michigan's Department of Community Health has a website devoted to the Swine Flu. It is a great resource for information about the Swine Flu and its vaccine. Information about the benefits and risks of the vaccine can be found on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website Swine Flu Vaccine Information for the Metro-Detroit Area originally appeared on About.com Detroit on Thursday, October 22nd, 2009 at 12:59:35.
Halloween Happening in Pontiac: Erebus Haunted House
Since its opening in 2000, the Erebus Haunted House in Pontiac, Michigan has been a trendsetter in the haunted-house industry. Of course, four stories of horrors insure a certain amount of scare. In fact, the sheer size of the haunted attraction led to Guinness World Records dubbing Erebus the "largest walk-through haunted attraction" in the world. Erebus kept the title for several years, but lost it in 2009 when it was supplanted by a haunted attraction in Texas. While the Texas attraction may have squeaked in a few more square feet, Erebus is still a horrific experience. In fact, it was recently rated the fourth "Must See" haunted attraction in the nation by Haunted Attraction Magazine. More Information:

EDITORIAL: Marijuana initiative: No quick fix for it
If the regulations regarding medical marijuana had been laid out in a statute adopted by the state Legislature, it would be a relatively simple matter for lawmakers to adopt clarifying language. But because those regulations were cast in the more unwieldy substance of a citizen initiative, it will be difficult to fashion a quick fix.
Mick McCabe: Two terrible losses for Melvindale
Melvindale saw its season and the Phil Howard era come to an end Friday night. OLSM won 35-21 and Howard resigned after the game.
Civilian took down Ft. Hood gunman by herself
Were there heroes after the firing began at Ft. Hood, Texas? Many -- from soldiers tearing fatigues to make quick bandages for wounded comrades to the 34-year-old cop whose shots likely ended the rampage Thursday at the Army post in the heart of Texas. Sgt. Kimberly Munley responded quickly after the report of shots fired.
Metro may get lottery games, turbines
Detroit Metro Airport may soon gain two new features: lottery games and small wind turbines. On Nov. 17, the Wayne County Airport Authority board is likely to approve a licensing agreement with the Michigan Bureau of State Lottery that would enable travelers at Metro to play a number of state lottery games, such as instant tickets, Mega Millions and Club Keno.
Turnovers plague both Wolverines and Boilermakers
Michigan and Purdue are in many ways sadly similar teams entering today's noon kickoff at Michigan Stadium
Determining a team's bowl fate nothing new for WMU
With a 4-5 record -- 3-3 in conference play -- this team needs to win at least two of its last three games to be eligible for a third consecutive bowl game. That description applies to Western Michigan and Michigan State, and the losing team will find itself even further away from its goal after today's game at Spartan Stadium.

Orlando 110, Detroit 103: Magic zaps Pistons
John Kuester emphasized that the Magic would go for a knockout punch in the first quarter. It appears the team didn't do a very good job of listening.
Can these students' inventions save Michigan?
We've all got them -- those ideas that we know, just know, would make a fortune if we could get them to a store shelf. Now, some University of Michigan students are hoping to tap into that genius.

Pistons' bus delayed after Orlando shootings
ORLANDO -- Pistons coach John Kuester knew something was up when the team bus, headed to Friday morning's shoot-around, was delayed by slow-moving traffic and sirens. Just over a mile away from the Grand Bohemian, where the team was staying, a gunman had entered a downtown Orlando office building, killing one and injuring five, and law enforcement had started a manhunt.

U-M's Zack Novak adapts to new challenges
A year ago, Zack Novak was one of the new guys -- a freshman awed by the college experience with no idea what playing in a major college game was like. He adapted quickly at the off-guard position but was forced to change to a small post player -- at 6-feet-5 -- in the second half of the year as Michigan played smaller.
Lions' Big 3 to play on Sunday
For the first time in more than a month, the Lions will trot out their starters on offense Sunday. Over the past five weeks, the team has missed -- at various times -- its starting quarterback, its most dominant receiver and its starting running back.
Rowdy Qwest Field a big bump in road
The Seattle Seahawks have won two games. They've lost five. That means they've won one more game than the Lions. That also means the Seahawks aren't very good. But let's take a closer look. Seattle beat St. Louis this year, the same team that got its first win last week in Detroit. Not only did Seattle beat St. Louis, the Seahawks shut out the Rams, 28-0.
Lions near the bottom in 'O' and 'D' categories
On offense, the Lions rank 29th in the NFL in yards per play (4.4). On defense, the Lions are last (6.2). That drives home the point that they aren't making enough big plays on offense and are allowing too many big plays on defense.
MSU running corps takes hit as injuries pile up
EAST LANSING -- Michigan State's running game appeared to be on the upswing during a three-game winning streak in October. Now the group has taken a step back because of injuries and attrition, and the Spartans are hoping that the players they have left can carry them through the season.
Osgood allows 2 goals in three straight wins
Chris Osgood has made 82 saves and allowed two goals during the Red Wings' season-high three-game winning streak. Osgood made 33 saves and stopped both shots he faced in the shoot-out to help the Wings to a 2-1 victory over the Sharks on Thursday night. His goals-against average has dropped to 2.54, and his save percentage is .910.
Where to find the Spartans on TV today
Michigan State's home game against Western Michigan will appear on the Big Ten Network, but fans in the state might be a little confused if they turn to the main channel and find Purdue-Michigan instead.
Both games have a noon kickoff, and the network has Purdue-U-M slated as its "main game." The MSU game will be aired on one of the network's extra channels.
To determine which channel will carry MSU, visit the Big Ten Network's Game Finder page at http://www.bigtennetwork.com/gamefinder/. If one wants to watch Wisconsin vs. Indiana or Illinois vs. Minnesota, the other two games airing at noon, those channel listings are available as well.

Chris Chelios hears cheers in return to MI
GRAND RAPIDS -- If an NHL team gets interested in 47-year-old defenseman Chris Chelios this season, it'll likely be to contribute on the penalty kill and to play a sound defensive game. Until then, Chelios is enjoying his run as a point-a-game offensive contributor for the Chicago Wolves of the American Hockey League.
