In 1820, Otis \"Cookie\" Figowitz is a quiet chef traveling in Oregon Country with a group of loud and aggressive fur trappers who harass him for not finding them enough food. One night, he comes across King-Lu, a Chinese immigrant on the run for killing a Russian man. Cookie allows Lu to hide in his tent for the night and watches him escape across the river the next day.
Meanwhile, the outpost's first milk cow has arrived; her mate and calf died on the journey. She is left unattended at night just outside the house of the wealthiest English trader in town, the Chief Factor. Lu laments that poor men don't stand a chance to get ahead without some kind of fortune or committing a crime. Cookie reminisces about his days as a baker's assistant in Boston and tells Lu that he could use some of the cow's milk to make baked goods. They sneak onto the Chief Factor's property at night, Cookie milking the cow and Lu keeping watch from a tree. They manage to get enough milk to bake a batch of buttermilk biscuits. Cookie is unsatisfied with the result, wishing it could be sweeter, but Lu points out they are far better than anything on the outpost and suggests they could make a fortune. Cookie refines his recipe and adds honey.
They take their first batch of sweet oily cakes to market. When asked the recipe, Lu claims it's a \"Chinese secret.\" The first few men to try them excitedly ask for more, and a bidding war erupts for the last cake. Word spreads and the men line up day after day as they run out. One day, a big man shoves a slight man aside for the last cake, and Lu does not object, only caring for the money. As they get richer, they decide it's safer to store their money in a tree than to take it to a bank.
Cookie finds Lu at the shack, and Lu suggests they catch the next boat south. Cookie can't keep up through the woods and he lies down, clearly fatigued. Lu tells Cookie they will be safe and promises to keep watch, then lies beside him, reassures him, and closes his eyes.
First Cow had its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival on August 30, 2019.[14] It screened at the New York Film Festival on September 28, 2019.[15] Although it was released in four U.S. theaters on March 6, 2020, the film was pulled from release by A24 on March 15, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was released for purchase on VOD platforms on July 10, 2020, and became available to rent on July 21.[16]
The Fetch box: Review of benefits, features and pricingFetch box is an excellent way to watch entertainment and sports all in one place. From only $169, this set-top box is loaded with features at a low cost.
The camera alternates back and forth between the cow being paddled to shore and a small group of Indigenous women sitting close-by, cautiously watching its arrival while a young Indigenous girl pounds acorns into a thin powder. The eponymous cow, we are later told, is the first cow in the territory, imported by Chief Factor, a wealthy European landowner who prefers his afternoon tea with fresh cream.
Cows are not native to North America. European colonizers and Spanish conquistadors, not satisfied with the food offerings in the new world, brought cows over for milk, butter, and dairy farming. Today, the United States is the largest producer of beef and dairy. As of 2019, over 90 million cows exist in the US alone.
As he explains, America is the land of opportunity, but not for everyone. \\\\u201CIt\\\\u2019s the getting started that\\\\u2019s the trouble. You need leverage. Or a crime.\\\\u201D Fate intervenes with the arrival of the literal \\\\u201Cfirst cow\\\\u201D in the territory, the property of local bigwig Chief Factor (Toby Jones, the most Dickensian of living character actors).
Soon Cookie is sneaking out at night to milk the cow, Lu keeping watch from a nearby tree. This supplies the secret ingredient to the \\\\u201Coily cakes\\\\u201D which Cookie subsequently prepares, and which he and Lu peddle to hardbitten locals who melt at the first mouthful.
It\\\\u2019s a wonderfully neat concept, and Reichhart, often labelled a minimalist, has never been more assured as a storyteller. The narrative motor of First Cow takes some time to warm up, but eventually generates considerable suspense: as in all stories where the heroes succeed too quickly, we know the good times can\\\\u2019t last.
For both directors, the format advertises a certain archaism. But where Snyder leans towards expressionist bombast, Reichhart\\\\u2019s images have a matter-of-fact simplicity \\\\u2013 few close-ups, little camera movement \\\\u2013 almost worthy of the silent comedies of Buster Keaton.
As a fable, First Cow has a degree of 21st-century preachiness. Cookie and Lu are basically innocents, doomed by the nature of the system. Yet mystery lingers at the film\\\\u2019s centre: much could be said about the triangle of the two men and the cow, and the intimate ritual that brings them together under cover of dark.
\"There is no call we do not answer, there is no faith that we betray.\" Let us never betray cinema!! Another year, another look back at all the year's movies. Editor Dylan Hoang has revealed his Cinema 2021 video retrospective, that also includes a countdown of his Best Films of the Year at the end. These recaps are always worth watching - not only is the editing impressive, but there's something riveting about rewatching clips from all of the movies from 2021. What a year! We had everything from Titane to The Green Knight to Nightmare Alley to Dune to The Power of the Dog to The Ice Road to Free Guy to Barb and Star. There's probably plenty of movies we've all forgotten, but when they pop up here it's nice to think \"ohh, I enjoyed that!\" And with the year almost over it's also the right time to catch up with any you might've missed. Enjoy.
\"Give me a moment, would you, friend I've never been on trial for my thoughts before.\" As crazy as 2020 has been, the truth is - we still had plenty of great movies to enjoy. Friend of the site Dino Kos (also known as @WolvieCBM) has spent the last few months editing his year-in-review video. His presentation is called Cinema 2020 - A Year in Film and it's available to watch now. There's clips from a bunch of films in this that I don't know if people might've even forgotten about from this year: Wendy, Love & Monsters, Over the Moon, Capone, Vivarium, Tesla. Plus all our other favorites: The Trial of the Chicago 7, First Cow, Soul, Mank, Wonder Woman 1984, Palm Springs, Da 5 Bloods, Bill & Ted Face the Music, Tenet, Possessor, Minari, Sound of Metal, The Invisible Man, Birds of Prey, and I'm Thinking of Ending Things. As always, these videos are a reminder that even in tough times, even when stuck at home, movies bring us all together.
\"Let Neptune strike ye dead Winslow! HAAARK!\" Another year, another Top 10. And although we're already well into 2020, it's never too late to share this list. Better late than never, as they say! It's time to present my personal list of my Top 10 Favorite Films of 2019. I really wish I had more time to revisit all of these, and so many other films, but there's never enough time. Most of these I really wanted to see again before writing about them, but, I went with my gut feeling. With every film below, as soon as I finished watching it, I knew it would be on my Top 10. There is that feeling deep down that I have seen something extraordinary and I just know it won't be topped. And my final three, same as last year, I kept switching around because they're masterpieces. With that said, I am more than happy to reveal my faves, the films that left me floored.
As the cattle market continues to watch what is going on in corn markets, a major report was released on Friday. The annual USDA acreage report was released on Friday and showed a significantly smaller decrease in the number of corn acres in the U.S. than many were expecting it to show. This led to a wild day of trading in corn futures on Friday and left corn futures prices sharply lower by the closing bell.
As a reaction, corn futures dropped the full 25 cent limit at one point on Friday for the September contract before closing 21 cents lower than the day prior. There was a 40 cent range between the daily high and low. August feeder cattle futures nearly touched $140 for the first time since June 11th before closing just below $137 per cwt.
A look at live cattle prices shows a continuing weakening of prices. The 5-market live cattle price dropped to $110.48 per cwt for the weekly average last week which is the lowest since October 2018. Perhaps surprisingly, this is still higher than year-ago levels when live cattle dropped to their 2019 lows of around $107 per cwt. The August Fed Futures contract closed at $102.50 today which is near the contract low from last week. Trading has continued to force futures lower which is putting pressure on cash prices to follow. Weaker beef demand than is usually expected during the summer is hurting prices due at least partially to cooler and wetter weather. The boxed beef cutout value is about one percent lower than a year ago with particula
