Baltimore
The Desperate Optimists, filmmakers Joe Lawlor and Christine Malloy take a different approach in their latest film, Baltimore, by basing it on a true story. The film follows Rose Dugdale (Imogen Poots), the English heiress who became a revolutionary. Drawn to Marxism she denounced her life of privilege, and joining the Ira’s fight for a united Ireland, on the 26th April 1974, Dugdale and three accomplices, Dominic (Tom Vaughan-Lawlor), Martin (Lewis Brophy) and Eddie (Jack Meade), stole 19 paintings from Russborough House, with the intent of leveraging them for the release of Ira prisoners.

Hank Williams Jr. reprised his role as a fiery anti-Obama blowhard on Friday, telling fans at a concert that the president was Muslim and anti-American.
The statement came near the end of a concert at the Iowa State Fair Grandstand. Williams Jr.'s comments were first reported in a review by Des Moines Register reporter Joe Lawler.
According to Lawler, the show was relatively free of politics until the end, when Williams Jr. made the following claims: "We've got a Muslim president who hates farming, hates the military, hates the U.S. and we hate him!"
The comments were apparently met with applause and loud cheers.
Williams Jr. made waves in October 2011, when he appeared on "Fox and Friends" and likened the president to Hitler.
That statement resulted in Espn yanking Williams Jr.'s opening song from "Monday Night Football," where the country star's song had played for over two decades.
