Trailer says it all...SHILL VOTES GALORE

If the trailer is anything to go by and I think it's a pretty good indicator of what's in store then this one does not merit watching at all. The acting seems pretty atrocious and I echo what the one other reviewer that isn't linked to the movie has already said...the acting lacks believability...it's as wooden as hell.

If the rest of the picture is well scripted and acted then why would they have chosen the worst 2 minutes of the movie as it's showcase. I know shill voters want to get their picture watched...did it ever occur to them that people would probably be more inclined to watch it if it wasn't such poorly put together garbage. The trailer would seem to suggest a quality that would make even the most amateur film student offering look like the work of Coppola in comparison.

A Smart & Stylish Thriller!

One of the dictionary definitions for a "red herring" is: "something, especially a clue, that is or is intended to be misleading or distracting." When discussing "Red Herring", the film, the dictionary definition definitely applies. "Red Herring" is a taut, action- packed crime-drama, directed by Ousa Kuhn, that will keep you guessing all the way to the exciting finish. The film stars Robert Scott Howard, Holly Valance, Tim Tucker, Andre McCoy, Vincent Pastore of Sopranos fame, and G Eric Miles and is packed with more twists and turns than a dance- hall on a Saturday night.

Written and produced by Joshua Cohen, "Red Herring" is a top-notch thriller; on par with the great mystery stories of old! To give you an idea of how intricately Cohen wove his web, at varying points in the film, and in seeming rotation, I thought each of the main characters was the guilty party, and in the end, I was wrong! That's how great mystery is done. And that's what's in store for you in "Red Herring!"

Through the efforts of the Nevada Film Incentive (established in 2015,) "Red Herring" is a 100% made-in-Nevada production: Written in Nevada; produced in Nevada; filmed in Nevada. With quality efforts like "Red Herring," the Nevada Film Incentive appears to be off to a very promising start.

BROOKLYN : EPICENTER FOR U.S. HERRING SUPPLY AND CONSUMPTION

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

Brooklyn is swimming in herring.

Supermarkets and fish stores in Borough Park and Crown Heights are creating funky new flavors to make the traditional after-Sabbath services snack more crowd pleasing.

“It’s not like the old days,” said Shlomo Raskin, 40, a herring guru who runs a fish store on Kingston Ave.
Herring sales at his shop — which offers 25 flavors of herring — have “tripled” in the past year, Raskin said.

“(Herring) has exploded on many fronts,” he said. “It has gotten more popular in religious communities and expanded to non-religious and non-Jews as a healthy food high in Omega-3.”

Borough Park is at the epicenter of the herring boom. Along one 10-block stretch, four herring sellers offer a wide range of flavors, including wine sauce and honey mustard.

“This is the best herring!” said Chana Rivka Flaum, 42, as she shopped in Wiesner’s Grocery on 18th Ave. and 60th St. Store owner Shlomy Wiesner, 50, said he spent 10 years perfecting the recipe for his 12 herring flavors.

“I can’t tell you how many times I failed,” Wiesner said. “I decided to play around and do something unique that other people would enjoy.”

Like many Jews, Weisner didn’t enjoy the slimy, salty fish as a child.
“There were only three flavors and they were smelly and awful,” he recalled.

Now, his small grocery offers options like herring soaked in wine sauce with jalapeno peppers, which are used to mask much of the fishy taste and smell.
“My grandfather’s herring wasn’t like this,” said store staffer Shalom Roth. “It is one of the most popular items in the store.”

Even the packaging of herring in Weisner’s shop has changed; large plastic tubs have been replaced with see-through, half-pound plastic containers that sell for $5 each.

A block away, Breadberry, a high-end grocery that opened in July, sells 21 different types of herring made by Raskin, who buys the small fish from suppliers in Holland, Denmark and Scotland.

“It used to be the ladies had the fancy cakes and the men had the herring,” said Breadberry owner Sam Gluck, 29. "Now, women can’t get enough of it.”

A HERRING SALAD RECIPE THAT GOES WAY BACK

A Rage to Nosh was written by Ruth and Bob Grossman. It has a copyright date of 1966 and was touted as "a blend of sophisticated taste with rib-tickling humor". From the Preface:

...The art of noshing has been finely perfected through the ages by a long list of famous noshers. The first nosh of all time was the forbidden apple with which the serpent of the Garden of Eden tempted Eve. This must have been the first in a long series of low calorie snacks; for in all the world of art depicting the first couple, whoever heard of a fat Adam and Eve?

Probably the most famous of all noshers was the portly King Henry VIII of England. His sumptuous dinners were the envy of all citizens. They would last for hours and were as beautiful to behold as they were to devour. And between each course were served noshes of every size and description from the far corners of the globe. Henry, who had a particular passion for drumsticks (they say his mother made delicious chicken soup) had the nasty habit of throwing the bones over his shoulder with great gust and excellent aim...

However, no one deserves more credit for encouraging hundreds of generations of noshers than the ubiquitous Jewish mother who is famous for her tons of stuffed cabbage, schools of gefullte fish and mountains of chopped liver. Lest she violate the Dietary Laws, she has seldom wandered from these traditional viands of the Kosher table prepared from century honed recipes...

RABBI NACHMAN KAHANA ON HERRING AND THE NEED 

TO LIVE IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL

Source: 'With All Your Might' by Rabbi Nachman Kahana

"The energy to achieve more than mere existence is lacking in most Jews today. We have all seen photos of Jews in the shtetls with the peddlers selling herring in the marketplace, and the cart pushers rushing to their destinations. They were satisfied with the life they led. Each had a little shack, a little income, his shtiebel to daven in three times a day – what was missing? ……

Did they ever dream that the Divine prediction of the prophets would be realized, and that the Jewish nation would return to our ancient homeland? Where were the dreams of the Beit HaMikdash rebuilt anew on the Temple Mount …..

But are we any different? The homes we own in the galut are not the shacks of the shtetlach, but the mind set is the same…. Where are the big dreams of God's Chosen People? …..

You are no more than the desires of your heart, just as everything else in the world.

Where do your desires take you – to be part of God's greatest miracle since the Exodus, or to cling to the mediocrity of your lives in the exile?"
