Team Hodge Podge's Chris Hodgson, Team Lime's Jesse Brockman Following a coast-to-coast challenge and six defeated food trucks, the Lime Truck and Hodge Podge were the final two rivals in Sunday night's finale of Food Network's The Truly Amazing Food Truck Race. Did The Lime Truck's undertake fresh California cuisine drive laps around its rival? Or did Hodge Podge's more inticate twist on comfort food propel it with the finish line first? The ultimate stop: Miami, in which the first truck to create $15,000 and meet host Tyler Florence at South Point Park would win. Fall Preview: Get scoop in your favorite coming back shows Beginning with $500, the teams needed to start serving As soon as possible. Although Chris Hodgson had connections within the city and could obtain high-finish elements like lobster, black truffles and foie gras. Lime Truck did not possess a plan in position but bought mussels for any red-colored curry, crab for ceviche and beef for Philadelphia cheesesteak fries. Speed Bump No. 1 Tyler calling on the telephone is definitely not so good news, so after brisk sales by both trucks, these were annoyed to listen to they needed to start selling food with no heating elements on the trucks, which could be towed to some nearby impound. Only if the teams gained $200 in the food they prepared from the truck would they have the ability to repay the impound. Hodge Podge began serving sashimi off the top their Volkswagen and rapidly retrieved their truck. Lime Truck, however, battled using their pavement mussel-cooking demonstration and were reunited using their truck later. Regardless, they appeared to recoup that evening once they began serving in Little Havana, near several bars. Truck Stop Each team was up early to visit fishing within the Atlantic Sea. Using their catch, they needed to prepare one dish that will alter the competition. Chef Michael Schwartz of Michael's Genuine Drink and food would judge which dish was best and win a prize that Florence suggested would be a "game changer" within the competition. Jesse from Lime Truck presented an amuse-bouche of raw seafood wrapped around shredded asparagus after which a seared citrus seafood capped with tuna tartare. It had been considered, fresh, well-seasoned, well-performed, with vibrant tastes but possibly just a little dated in concept. Hodge's king spanish mackerel steak with taters, garlic clove, let's eat some onions, heirloom tomato plants and kale capped with remoulade sauce also got kudos, although Schwarz felt the dish can use some editing. Satisfy the trucks within the Great Food Truck Race Season 2 Lime Truck required the prize -- $1,500. They'd been trailing by about $100, now these were far within the lead and nearer to the $15,000 victory. Hodge Podge was a little annoyed, however they recovered rapidly by its proper convenient location at Kendall's Vehicle Clean. Lime Truck did not do badly, either, by finding near a brewery. In the finish from the evening, when Florence purchased these phones stop selling, Lime Truck had gained a lot more than $13,000, while Hodge Podge had $12,000. They are unparalleled earnings on the program. This final showdown takes a smaller amount time than we expected. Speed Bump No. 2 For that first couple of hrs the following morning, the trucks needed to sell only desserts. Sweets. Each morning. Lime Truck made the decision to complete the breakfast-as-dessert concept downtown, while Hodge Podge would target the workers in a wholesale business where they bought their elements. Bread pudding, Nutella and mascapone quesadillas, bananas not too fosters, berry waffles, "puppy chow" ... what's to not love? The idea is really a hit, possibly selling even faster than your regular menu. Hmm, we smell a spin-off truck! Both Hodge Podge and Lime Truck arrived at their $15,000 goal rapidly, clean up and race on see Florence. Take a look at our fall preview for art galleries, scoop, premiere calendars and much more! Ultimately, we have seen the Lime Truck trio increase to Florence, who's outfitted in the best aviator shades, shorts and inscrutable expression. He demands that Daniel put on his lime eco-friendly sweatband so he is able to match his partners in "full team regalia" before handing them a brief-case. When they open it up and it is empty, they have lost. When they find $100,000 inside, well, they obtain the $100,000. It had not been empty. Lime Truck wins. Chef Jason Quinn really wants to put area of the money toward opening their own brick-and-mortar restaurant. Even though Hodge Podgers increase to determine them honoring, and sad piano music plays over their entrance, the somber mood does not continue for lengthy. It had been a worthy competition, Hodgson increased nearer to his sister and girlfriend, and that he reflected, "It is the finest win of my existence." Aww! Champion to Lime Truck! And today, all of us perform the Lime Truck dance! Are you wishing using the those who win? Do you consider your competition was fair?

Watch a Rubber Ducky Get Killed in David Lynch's Vienna Film Festival Trailer

We expect David Lynch to complete strange things -- he's David Lynch, in the end. But, the guy still handles to continually one-up themself. Take for example this trailer for that Vienna Worldwide Film Festival, which Lynch directed. Associated with pension transfer of his projects, this factor edges around the absurd: It begins having a guy holding rocks, as there are a voice-over asking the number of rocks the guy is holding, then there's a rubber ducky and ... guess what happens? Explaining this factor is pointless. Just watch the clip below and you will see what we are speaking about. [via indieWIRE] Image thanks to Getty Images

When Promotional Artwork Is Better Than a Movie: Justice Edition

Nicolas Cage in a glittery face mask. January Jones inexplicably playing bass guitar. Jones being held hostage at gunpoint. Cage getting handcuffed. Jones and Cage raging at Mardi Gras. Separately, all of these images could be part of an entertaining movie. Unfortunately, when strung together though, they give us the curious marketing for Roger Donaldson’s long-delayed thriller Justice. Formerly titled The Hungry Rabbit Jumps (your guess is as good as mine), the Tobey Maguire-produced picture features Cage as a husband who enlists a vigilante group to help him “settle the score” after his musician wife (Jones) is assaulted. Guy Pearce co-stars as a mysterious stranger who approaches Cage about revenge. As the revenge plan unfolds though, Cage undoubtedly learns that justice (the moral quality and not the most generic movie title ever) comes at a price. First, the lackluster trailer. Now, if you had only seen the following images, you might be interested in seeing what the movie entails, right? Justice will premiere in the UK on Nov. 18 but still has not locked a U.S. distributor or release. [via The Playlist]

Midmarket at Toronto: Slow, but nonetheless time

The 2010 Sundance and Cannes film fests might have both heated up rapidly and strongly about the purchases front. But Toronto, while loaded with product, has to date been in a sluggish simmer.One only needs to walk-through the Hyatt and pop into sellers' offices to see that, despite being full of industryites, the atmosphere is not a frantic one."Purchasers are earning sure they see everything before putting their eggs all-in-one basket," stated one producer -- a troublesome proposition, given that many films are scheduled at similar occasions. But Sunday is simply too early to evaluate how hot Toronto can get -- even last year's sales avalanche did not gain full steam till the fest is at its home stretch. Leader Obama's recent jobs speech telling everybody about economic uncertainty and U.S. debt-ceiling politics did not make bizzers anymore confident."From the macro perspective, I believe everybody is scared and nervous about the possible lack of leadership in Washington -- not only from Obama, but Congress and everybody else," stated Chris McGurk, Boss of digital cinema distrib Cinedigm and vet topper at MGM, Overture and Disney. "Nobody thinks anybody comes with an answer, and that is affecting the attitudes of individuals I have spoken to up here." (For that record, McGurk describes themself being an independent who chosen for Obama, and the wife Jamie is definitely an active Democratic fundraising event). There has been deals: CBS Films' bought domestic privileges for Lasse Halstrom's comedy "Fish Fishing within the Yemen," toplining Emily Blunt and Ewan McGregor, marking the fest's greatest deal in an believed $4 million. Pic tested positively on Saturday and was bought the following day, though even that turnaround time is tame in comparison towards the late-evening dealing of previous years."I visit a couple of films here already that years back someone would have clicked right up overnight," McGurk stated. "Individuals attitudes about the possible lack of leadership throughout the economy is leading to these phones think two, three, four, five occasions before an offer is created.InchCentury Films prexy Mark Gill, the WIP and Miramax vet who now produces wide release fare and recommends his outfit's niche distrib arm on pick-ups, has not seen exactly the same degree of alarm. "The absurdity from it is the fact that you should be most centered on macro-economic news, since it is increasing tide that affects most of us. However I think almost everyone has considered the mediocrity from the american economy for the following 3 to 4 years to their thinking," he stated having a wry laugh. "Something that goes better is a enjoyable surprise. ... I understand there's lots of putting in a bid happening for a number of things -- but it is not 2003 any longer."It isn't even 2010, when TIFF sales were enhanced by an remarkable group of factors: hunger for game titles among recently released distribs, a strong crop of films emerging following a publish-strike drought, and open calendars one of the galleries that pared back purchasing following the economy required its 2008 dive.Individuals factors designed a slight recession nearly inevitable, there is however still lots of commercial-friendly photos that may soon find good houses. Saturday night's choices incorporated "The Oranges," hockey comedy "Goon," Woodsy Harrelson starrer "Rampart," Sarah Polley's "Take this Waltz" and Matthew Goode starrer "Burning Guy." "Buddies with Kids," toplining Megan Fox and Kristen Wiig, continues to be available while Michael Winterbottom's "Trishna" has slew of offerings from U.S. purchasers up for grabs. Sony's "The Raid," from Welsh helmer Gareth Evans, has additionally been a buzzed-about title, while low-budget horror "You are Next" will probably secure an offer prior to the finish from the fest. John Flock, Boss of sales-financier W2 Media, stressed that discussions within the indie financing world have grown to be much more difficult recently. "It's really a significant business than it was once,Inch he told Variety. "You cannot just run projects in the flagpole and announce that you are which makes them -- after which not make sure they are.InchParticularly, Flock stated, purchasers have grown to be more educated because the business becomes progressively complex among the decline of revenues from DVD. Phase 4 Films Boss Berry Meyerowitz stated the economy is making distribs focus more about whether a movie works across all platforms (theatrical, DVD, VOD, pay TV, etc) or maybe it will you need to be bought for just one or perhaps a couple of of these. "Everybody is kind of nervous by what the near future will bear within this market -- what are you doing using the banks, rates of interest, jobs, etc.," Meyerowitz stated. "But those who are within this game want to go beyond that. Purchasers are truly are considering the trepidation on the market and also the economy, but overall, they are strongly settling for films, and that we will not visit a significant decline in purchases."David Reckziegel, prexy of eOne Films United States, stated buyers' caution is not surprising."Everyone came from Cannes with quite full bags -- with 3 or 4 movies," he stated. "It is extremely rare that occurs. Which means this year's Toronto might be a lot more like Sundance last year.Inch(Dork McNary led for this report.)

'Wanted' headed for Lifetime

True-crime fans, rejoice: "America's Most Wanted" is not going away after all. The long-running weekly crime-busting show, which had aired on Fox, is headed to Lifetime for its 25th season. Series will begin airing from its new perch at the femme-centric cabler by the end of the year. Fox dropped "America's Most Wanted" in May, citing the prohibitive production costs associated with its Saturday night staple. "We haven't made money on the show in quite a while," Fox Entertainment prexy Kevin Reilly said at the time. "It wasn't particularly viable." Nevertheless, the net agreed to four specials to be broadcast on Fox starting in October, with the other three to follow quarterly. The skein averaged some 5 million total viewers a night last season -- a much more significant figure for a cable network than for a broadcaster. Host and exec producer John Walsh started the show in 1988, after his 6-year-old son was abducted and murdered. The series has aided law enforcement officials over the years, as 61 missing persons featured on the show have been found, and more than 1,100 fugitives investigated by Walsh and his team have been captured. " 'America's Most Wanted' is a seminal program that provides a very valuable service to both viewers and law enforcement agencies," said Lifetime Networks prexy and g.m. Nancy Dubuc. "For more than two decades, John Walsh has been leading the fight against crime and it's an honor to partner with him on bringing back this important show." Walsh is set to receive the Governors Award at the Creative Arts Emmys this month. Contact Sam Thielman at sam.thielman@variety.com
