The Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center To Screen 'Buck'

Westhampton Beach - As part of its "Finest in World Cinema" series, the Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center will screen "Buck," director Cindy Meehl's fascinating documentary of real-life horse whisperer, Buck Brannaman , on Tuesday, August 29, Wednesday, August 30 and Thursday, September 1 at 8 p.m. Andrew Botsford , former associate editor of The Southampton Press and editor of its Arts and Living section, will introduce the summer films each Tuesday night, and lead an informal discussion, with a special guest, following the film, as part of the "Tuesday Night at the Movies with Andrew and Friends" series.

"Your horse is a mirror to your soul, and sometimes you may not like what you see. Sometimes, you will." So says Buck Brannaman, a true American cowboy and sage on horseback who travels the country for nine grueling months a year helping horses with people problems.

"Buck," a richly textured and visually stunning film, follows Brannaman from his abusive childhood to his phenomenally successful approach to horses. A real-life "horse-whisperer," he eschews the violence of his upbringing and teaches people to communicate with their horses through leadership and sensitivity, not punishment.

Buck possesses near magical abilities as he dramatically transforms horses - and people - with his understanding, compassion and respect. In this film, the animal-human relationship becomes a metaphor for facing the daily challenges of life. A truly American story about an unsung hero, "Buck" is about an ordinary man who has made an extraordinary life despite tremendous odds.

"Buck" is in English, Rated PG, and 88 minutes.

Tickets are $10 for adults, $7 for students/seniors, and $3 for WHBPAC Film Society members, and can be purchased on line at www.whbpac.

EastEndListings.com » Joe Louchheim and the Southampton Press ...

Of the erroneous Market reports written by Prudential, Corcoran, Town & Country and Brown Harris Stevens.   Mr Wolf wins the prize (last prize) for incompetence on reporting the market.  Wolf actually “averages” the market indices contained in different market reports where the reports cover different market segments (hamlets, areas and villages).

I have gone on record many times with my detailed negative analysis of Mr. Wolf’s work. [ HERE ].  Wolf has written, and Joe Louchheim has published Wolf’s totally moronic and inaccurate “analyses” for over one year — with complete indifference to the right of the reading public to receive honest and true information.

This blog went after Joe Louchheim and Editor Joe Shaw for their irresponsible and dishonest treatment of the the 27east.com real estate data, [ HERE ].  In spite of our criticism, the 27east.com real estate data is now worse.  There is no data for any of the 6 months of 2011 — search any “Neighborhood” in Southampton for 2011, you will get “No Results Found”

Joe Louchheim and his father, Don Louchheim (who owned the Press prior to Joe) masquerade as pillars of the community.  Don is Mayor of Sagaponack Village; Joe Louchheim is on the School Board of Sagaponack’s “one room” school.   A guy as dishonest, as he has proven to be, should not be on a school board.

I can think of very few things worse for a community than having the local paper owned and operated by dishonest and incompetent people, such as Joe Louchheim.
