“Planes”: The film draws on a com-mon theme of Disney movies: A young dreamer longs for a bigger life. In this case, it’s Dusty, a crop-dusting plane (voiced by Dane Cook) who is in a tailspin over his ambition to race. Win, lose or get drawn, the journey is the most important part of the story. For a movie that was originally planned to be a direct-to-DVD release — and borrows heavily from the plot of “Cars II” — “Planes” offers some high-flying fun.

“The World’s End”: Some friends reunite to drink their way through the pubs in their hometown. The first 30 minutes of the film is a tedious trip down memory lane as King (Simon Pegg) acts like he’s still the top dog in town and the rest of his mates follow him. That’s when the movie makes a 90-degree turn. The bland buddy com-edy turns into a mixture of “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” “Alien” and “Barfly.”

“We’re the Millers”: Aims for medi-ocrity and hits it with a dull thud. The comedy, about a small-time drug deal-er, David Burke (Jason Sudeikis), who puts together a fake family as a way of slipping out of Mexico with an RV full of marijuana, has enough laughs to fill a TV sitcom. The problem is the movie has a running time of 110 minutes.

“The To Do List”: A high school graduate (Aubrey Plaza) makes a list of the sexual activities she wants to com-plete before heading off to college. It doesn’t matter if it’s a classic film like “The Summer of ‘42” or a broad come-dy like “American Pie.” There’s one key ingredient in a coming-of-age movie: You have to like the person who’s fac-ing the big moment. In the case of this monumental flop, Brandy, the nerdish character who wants to lose her virgin-ity, is unlikable, annoying, grating and so unpleasant there’s no reason to care whether she will or won’t.

“Paranoia”: A man is forced to become a corporate spy. Harrison Ford stars.

“2 Guns”: Mark Wahlberg, Denzel Washington star in this film based on the graphic novel of the same name.

“The Twilight Zone: The Complete Series”: Includes all 156 episodes of the Rod Serling series.

“My Little Pony — Friendship Is Magic: A Pony For Every Season”: Features six episodes of the TV show and a sing-along.

“Treme: the Complete Third Sea-

son”: Two years after Hurricane Katrina, crime and corruption are on the rise in New Orleans.

“Danger in the Manger”: New teacher must lead his class to singing victory. David Tennant stars.

“Anton Corbijn Inside Out”: A look at the artist who has spent much time hidden from the public eye.

“The Little Mermaid II” and “The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Beginning”: Both films are available on one Blu-ray.

“Star Trek: The Next Generation”: Blu-ray release includes the episode “Darmok.”

“The Rutles: Anthology”: Mocku-mentary on Beatles-like group.

“Smithsonian Channel’s The Day Kennedy Died”: A look at the events leading up to the assassination.

“Eve of Destruction”: An android goes on a killing spree. Gregory Hines stars.

“Assault on Precinct 12”: John Carpenter film about a Los Angeles police station that is attacked.

“And While We Were Here”: A writ-er reaches a personal and professional crossroads.

By CRAIG PARRISHEntertainment/Lifestyles Editor

When the primary motivation is candy — and a lifetime supply of it — not much more needs to be said.

That’s the classic premise of the musical “Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka,” a Theater Arts Guild production that opens Friday, Nov. 22, at the Lincoln Theatre in Mount Vernon.

It’s the story of Charlie Bucket, who lives in a small, frequently freezing house with his parents and two sets of grandparents. The family is poor but happy, and Charlie’s parents and grandpar-ents wish they could give the child more.

When Willie Wonka, the eccentric, brilliant candymaker, announces that he’ll retire and turn over his factory to one worthy child, Char-lie joins the thousands of people searching for a Golden Ticket, which will get a lucky few chil-dren inside the doors of Wonka’s factory.

Once inside, however, the children — most of whom are spoiled brats — must follow Won-

ka’s factory rules. The ensuing mischief results in some colorful consequences.

Leading the production are director Chris Tuohy, producers Jane Skinner and Nancy High, choreographer Marianda Quinton and music director Dave Cross, but it’s a “collaborative effort,” Skinner said. Matt Riggins, who plays the title character, is also the lead set designer, and the cast numbers nearly 50.

MOVIES

T he last six weeks of the year are stacking up as a flurry of serious

Oscars bait and big-budget sequels.

Here are a bunch I’m anticipating.

THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE”

Francis (“I Am Legend”) Lawrence takes the direct-ing reins from Gary Ross for the second of four films based on Suzanne Collins’ bestselling trilogy. (In Hol-lywood, “profitable trilogy” means “four.”) Oscar winner and everyone’s favorite per-son Jennifer Lawrence plays Katniss, now adjusting to life as a victor in the televised combat games. With her rising popularity, President Snow (Donald Sutherland) senses a threat to his rule, so Katniss and Peeta are forced into ever-more-dangerous battles, fighting for Dis-trict 12 and for each other. (Opens today)

“PHILOMENA”Steve Coogan wrote and

co-stars with Judi Dench in this reality-based story. Dench delivers an awards-worthy performance as Philomena Lee, an Irish woman searching for her son. The child, born out of wedlock in the 1950s, was taken from her as a toddler at a church orphanage and placed with an American family against her wishes. Coogan is Martin Sixsmith, a priggish journalist exploiting her loss for a story. Philo-mena is a tad daft and a bit dense, but her innate decen-cy strikes sparks against Martin’s haughty comic ego-tism. Rich in drama, laughs and unpredictable twists, this is the holiday family movie that even a Grinch would love. (Open Nov. 27)

“OLDBOY”When it was announced

that Spike Lee would remake Chan-wook Park’s 2003 Korean cult classic, I

was torn between curios-ity (Lee is good in thriller territory, as “Clockers” and “Inside Man” proved) and feeling it was heresy. The story follows an ad man (Josh Brolin) kidnapped and held in solitary confinement for 15 years without a clue to his captor’s identity or motives. When he’s suddenly released he begins a violent quest to learn who trapped him and why. The strong cast includes Samuel L. Jackson, Elizabeth Olsen and Sharlto Copley, and the film is said to be different enough to keep fans of the blood-soaked original guessing. Lee has hinted that his version has an even darker ending, which would be something to see. (Opens Nov. 27)

“NEBRASKA”Alexander Payne (“Side-

ways,” “About Schmidt”) has had lots of success with road movies. He hits the trail again with this laconic com-edy about a booze-addled retiree (Bruce Dern) con-vinced he’s won $1 million in a magazine sweepstakes. Will Forte plays his bemused son, who drives the old man from Billings, Mont., to Lincoln, Neb., to claim his winnings. Dern picked up the best-actor prize at Cannes, and the film manages the tricky balance between low-key laughs and heartfelt drama. Payne’s last, “The Descen-dants,” earned multiple Oscar nominations; he could do the same here. (Opens Nov. 27)

“OUT OF THE FURNACE”Christian Bale and Casey

Affleck play desperate brothers in a dying North-eastern rust-belt town. When the younger gets in over his head with a violent crime ring, his older brother picks up his hunting rifle and sets out to get him back. By the look of the trailers, writer/director Scott Cooper (“Crazy Heart”) has made a raw, dark story about crime, justice, fate, redemption and family love. Uplifting? Trag-ic? I want to know. (Opens Dec. 6)

“THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG”

I was not enchanted by Peter Jackson’s fourth go-round with Tolkien, but I’m hoping he’ll rediscover the magic in this chapter.

With the need for exposi-tory setup now satisfied, things should move at a faster clip as young Bilbo (Martin Freeman) and his 13 Dwarven chums finally meet the mighty, greedy dragon Smaug (voiced by the busi-est actor of the year, Bene-dict Cumberbatch). (Open Dec. 13)

“THE WOLF OF WALL STREET”

Release-date roulette knocked this one from an expected October release to Christmas Day. I think it’s all a scheme to get us even more lathered up about the fifth collaboration between Martin Scorsese and Leon-ardo DiCaprio. The film is a crime comedy based on the narcissistic autobiography of Jordan Belfort, a hustling

junior stockbroker turned zillionaire (and then turned pauper and securities fraud convict). If the uproarious trailers haven’t made you ravenous to see this one, there’s no talking sense to you. Jonah Hill, Matthew McConaughey, Spike Jonze, Jean Dujardin, Rob Reiner. Dwarf tossing. Nutty danc-ing. Throwing $100 bills and cooked lobsters at FBI men. Yeah, baby! (Opens Dec. 25)

“THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY”

Ben Stiller scored as a star/director with “Zoolan-der” and “Tropic Thunder.” Will he go three-for-three? Adapted from James Thurber’s classic short story, the film follows a timid magazine photo librar-ian who escapes his daily grind through grandiose daydreams. He’s drawn into a real-life adventure when a priceless negative goes missing. Here’s hoping that Stiller’s not banking on this movie to establish his cre-dentials as a Serious Film Artist. I’d rather see a com-edy. With Adam Scott, Kris-ten Wiig, Patton Oswalt and Shirley MacLaine. (Opens Dec. 25)

“HER”An idiosyncratic indie

romance from Spike Jonze, whose last feature was 2009’s “Where the Wild Things Are.” In the not-too-distant future, musta-chioed lonely guy Joaquin Phoenix installs a new com-puter operating system and becomes infatuated with its engaging, intuitive speech interface (alluringly voiced by Scarlett Johansson). Can man and machine achieve true intimacy or is more heartbreak around the cor-ner? Jonze’s typically cock-eyed take on modern love features a bevy of talented co-stars including Amy Adams, Rooney Mara and Olivia Wilde. (Opens late December)

TRAVEL

By BRUCE SCHREINERAssociated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The maker of Evan Williams bourbon has uncorked a new attraction, opening a craft distillery just steps from where the whiskey pio-neer who inspired the brand fired up his own commercial stills two centuries ago.

The distillery and “bour-bon experience” — com-plete with tours and tasting rooms — is the first of several ventures to bolster tourism and bring small-batch bourbon production to the heart of downtown Louisville, once the hub of commerce for Kentucky whiskey makers.

Today’s powerhouse bourbon brands such as Jim Beam, Wild Turkey and Maker’s Mark are crafted in rural Kentucky settings, an hour or less away, but the trade is showing signs of a comeback in the city.

An urban bourbon trail features 27 bars and restaurants, each stocked with at least 50 labels, and a planned bourbon district would tie together the city’s bourbon heritage with his-torical markers and land-marks in the Whiskey Row area, where clusters of whis-key merchants, wholesalers and blenders set up shop decades ago.

“It’s the place to be,” said Joe Magliocco, president of Michter’s Distillery LLC, which is converting a down-town building into a craft distillery. “If you want to be one of the best, you’ve got to play among the best.”

Heaven Hill, which makes Evan Williams, is at the forefront with its new $10.5 million attraction — The Evan Williams Bourbon Experience.

It’s located in a reno-

vated building and offers tours that trace bourbon production from frontier days when whiskey was cur-rency to its contemporary revival in bars and restau-rants across the globe. It features a five-story Evan Williams bottle replica and of course, it has a gift shop,

too. It opened to the public Nov. 15.

Kentucky produces 95 percent of the world’s bour-bon, and the 4.9 million bar-rels of aging bourbon in this state outnumber its popula-tion, according to the Ken-tucky Distillers’ Association.

As demand worldwide

has spiked, the state’s bour-bon production has risen more than 120 percent since 1999 to more than 1 million barrels in 2012, the industry group said.

More than 2.5 million visitors have toured the major distilleries along the Kentucky Bourbon Trail in

the past five years, the group said. Heaven Hill’s attrac-tion, located on Whiskey Row, will be the northern gateway to the trail.

Despite its bourbon prowess, the Bluegrass state hasn’t kept pace with other parts of the country in attracting upstart craft

distillers.Kentucky ranks eighth

nationally in distilled spir-its permits, said Kentucky Distillers’ Association Presi-dent Eric Gregory, citing federal statistics. California ranks first, followed by Washington state, New York and Oregon.

Heaven Hill Distilleries President Max L. Shapira (left) chats next to the centerpiece display in the lobby of The Evan Williams Bourbon Experience tourism attraction in downtown Louisville, Ky.

Kentucky’s tax on aging whiskey barrels has been an obstacle, he said. Still, he’s working with 10 craft distillers setting up shop in Kentucky.

“The next craft distiller, in 20, 30 or 40 years, could be the next Maker’s Mark,” Gregory said.

At The Evan Williams Experience, the star is Wil-liams himself, a Welsh immi-grant and early commercial distiller in Kentucky who started in 1783. During a tour of the distillery, projec-tions on the walls and TVs delve into bourbon making and detail Williams’ life as a city trustee, wharf master and distiller as the aroma of fermenting whiskey and aging barrels waft by.

“This is where the indus-try really started,” said Max L. Shapira, president of Heaven Hill. Its flag-ship Evan Williams brand is the second-largest selling bourbon in the U.S. and the world, behind Jim Beam.

At the downtown dis-tillery, whiskey makers will craft special recipes and pro-duce one barrel per day, a drop in the barrel compared to the company’s distillery a few miles away that churns out some 650 barrels daily.

Several other whiskey makers are planning craft distilleries nearby. Bour-bon entrepreneur Corky Taylor is reviving his great-grandfather’s company, Kentucky Peerless Distilling,

and hopes to start producing bourbon and moonshine in July. His line of spirits will include a premium bourbon, aged eight years, named after his great-grandfather, Henry Kraver, who ran a distillery in western Ken-tucky nearly a century ago.

The makers of Angel’s Envy whiskeys are hoping to start production in a little more than a year at a new downtown distillery, adding a twist to its bourbon and

rye whiskey production, said Wes Henderson, chief oper-ating officer for Louisville Distilling Co.

After aging its bourbon in white oak barrels for sev-eral years, the product will be finished in port casks for several more months. Its rye whiskey ages for years in oak barrels before finishing in rum casks.

“Louisville will be at the forefront of this experimen-tation,” Henderson said. “Any downtown area is not an ideal place to do produc-tion. But what makes Lou-isville so attractive is there’s such a passion for bourbon in the city.”

REVIEWS

‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’Various artists

Choosing the tracks for “The Hun-ger Games: Catching Fire” soundtrack must have been a mini-Hunger Games in itself after the wild success of the first film. The victors offer a mix of indie and mainstream, adding a rounded, energet-ic and emotional dimension to the film.

The 12 tributes (15 on the deluxe edition) of album No. 2 battle it out to discover who puts out the edgiest, yet accessible, song in homage to the story. One can see a shift in tone from the first film’s T Bone Burnett-produced soundtrack from folky melancholy to a slicker, more eccentric offering super-vised by Alexandra Patsavas.

A few traces from the original DNA remain with such tracks as the folky “Lean” by The National, “Devil May Cry” by The Weeknd and the dulcet tones of “Gale Song” by The Lumineers. The lead single “Atlas,” from British band Coldplay, brings a low-simmer resignation to boil over into anger. It’s a resounding anthem to fighting against oppression and feeling the weight of the world on one’s shoulders in dulcet piano tones. Christina Aguilera adds to the film’s mainstream cred with her power-ful vocals on the catchy “We Remain.”

But the indie performers modulate their voices in a different direction — instead of reassuring, revolutionary tones they all go eerie synth. Teen sensa-tion Lorde does an underwater-sound-ing cover of Tears for Fears’ “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” that takes its original cheerful spirit and twists it into a macabre warning. Australian Sia con-vincingly taps into the best of tribal pop on “Elastic Heart,” featuring The Week-nd and Diplo, while Ellie Goulding goes all angelic sci-fi electro in “Mirror.”

There’s no clear victor on this record, apart from the fan.

Box sets Grateful Dead, “Sunshine Daydream”: How many reviews of archival Grateful Dead releases begin with some variation of this sentence: If you only own one Grateful Dead concert, make sure it’s this one? OK, so let’s get it out of the way early: If you only own one Grateful Dead concert, it wouldn’t be a bad idea for it to be Aug. 27, 1972, a benefit show released as the box set “Sunshine Daydream.” Amid the roughly 100 archival Grateful Dead releases so far, what makes “Sunshine Daydream” stand out? First, it’s not just the concert, which plays out over three discs and features the Dead in their prime. There’s also the movie, filmed on a shoestring budget to capture the hastily organized benefit show to help support the Springfield Creamery, owned by Ken Kesey’s brother, in Eugene, Ore. Long available in previous edits as a grainy bootleg, the film is beautifully restored here on DVD. The deluxe edition, available only through the Grateful Dead’s website, comes with a well put-together 30-minute documentary fea-turing interviews with many of those who were a part of putting the show together, includ-ing Merry Prankster and concert emcee Ken Babbs and counter-culture icon Wavy Gravy.

The Beach Boys, “Made in California”: With its bright yellow cover and yearbook-style format, the outside of The Beach Boys’ six-CD set “Made in California” already evokes a sunny California vibe. The music takes you all the way there, with a 50-year, career-span-ning collection that includes home demos (complete with the band-member brothers arguing) and new arrangements of beloved hits. Accompanied by more than 30 pages of glossy vintage photos and interviews with the original sextet (Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, Den-nis Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine and David Marks), “Made in California” is the ultimate collectible for any Beach Boys fan. Lounge into the lush harmonies on a cap-pella versions of “Can’t Wait Too Long,” ”Slip on Through” and “This Whole World.” Dig the old radio spots from the 1960s and rare live studio recordings of “Wendy” and “When I Grow Up (To Be a Man).” Boogie in your bikini to more than a dozen live tracks, many from ’60s and ’70s performances. All the classics are here — “California Girls,” ”Surfin’ U.S.A.,” ”Barbara Ann,” ”I Get Around” — plus newer hits like “Kokomo,” and some 130 songs in between, compre-hensively illustrating the California band’s longtime and lasting impact on pop music.

Nirvana, “In Utero 20th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition”: Nirvana was probably rock ‘n’ roll’s last truly unifying band, and it’s completely polarizing third album, “In Utero,” stands as a puzzling final word from Kurt Cobain. Designed to send mainstream fans to the exits after “Nevermind” rewrote the rules, “In Utero” did just that as Cobain bared his conflicted soul. The recently released 20th-anniversary super deluxe edition will do little to clear up

the debate over where “In Utero” stands in the band’s very short history before Cobain’s suicide. Hovering somewhere between the spit-polish of “Nevermind” and the blue blowtorch flame of debut, “Bleach,” Cobain remains inscrutable here, making people hum along to songs about alienation and withdrawal almost against their will. The best moments in the three-CD, one-DVD set are the live ones. The box includes a CD and DVD of the band’s December 1993 “Live ‘n’ Loud” performance in Seattle, and the show serves as a reminder of just how pow-erful the band was. Cobain rarely smiles until the end, when he spits on the camera lens with an impish grin and then begins to trash the stage.

Sly and the Family Stone, “Higher”: After a thorough listen to the “Sly and the Family Stone: Higher” box set, you’ll quickly realize they’ve made a lot of funky music, but not all of it is worth a second listen. For every heart-warming “Everyday People,” there is “Luv ‘n Haight,” replete with corny horn work and a lackluster approach to funk. For each “I Want to Take You Higher” and its soul-lifting spirit, there is “I Just Learned How To Swim,” which is Sly Stewart’s funk-tinged surf song that is fun. Maybe once. That’s what you have in this reasonably comprehensive, four-CD collection that includes 17 previously (perhaps thankfully) unreleased tracks: a band bristling with tal-ent and experimentation, which occasionally struck gold, and sometimes not. Songs like “What’s That Got To Do With Me,” about a love gone wrong, is epic in scope, with sweeping horn-driven crescendo interspersed with bits of dramatic pause and odd vocal insertions. If you like odd, this col-lection will be full of gems for you. Most Fam-ily Stone fans, however, will likely be content with a single disc of greatest hits by the funk super group, forgoing the filler.

Fleetwood Mac, “Fleetwood Mac: 1969 to 1972”: The first thing that comes to mind when mentioning Fleetwood Mac is their sem-inal album “Rumours.” But the band’s pre-“Rumours” days are rich with bluesy offerings that are well worth revisiting on the new box set “Fleetwood Mac: 1969 to 1972.” The highlight of the four-album, vinyl collec-tion is the first re-mastered edition of “Then Play On,” Fleetwood Mac’s 1969 debut album on Reprise Records. This is a raw, young blues-fueled Fleetwood Mac and the sense of urgency to their music is on full display. The opening, bongo-backed track “Coming Your Way” bristles with pace, and the all-out house rocker “Fighting For Madge” showcases guitarist Peter Green as a force to rival Eric Clapton of that era. “Future Games” is another winning plat-ter, though it presents a softer Fleetwood Mac. By 1971 we find them putting together the less edgy sound that would prove to be the backbone to their radio mainstay hits to come. “Fleetwood Mac: 1969 to 1972” aptly presents the formative years of one of the most successful bands in history.

Eric Clapton “Give Me Strength: The 1974/1975 Recordings”: When Eric Clapton returned to the studio in 1974 after a long break from recording and performing because of heroin addiction, he embarked on a rebirth as an artist with three major albums that showcased his vocal skills alongside his well-known talents as a guitar god. “Give Me Strength: The 1974/1975 Recordings” repackages and remasters those two studio albums, “461 Ocean Boule-vard” and “There’s One in Every Crowd,” and the live album, “E.C. Was Here!” in a five-CD, one Blu-ray set along with studio outtakes and unreleased versions of songs he record-ed in that critical year. The songs he recorded in this period are heavy into blues, gospel and reggae, but the live album revisits some of his killer rock guitar skills from his days with Cream and Blind Faith. Some gems in the set are actu-ally when he’s the most muted, such as his dobro performance on “Give Me Strength” or the simple acoustic version of “Please Be With Me.”

n Kristin Hall, Associated Press

Van Morrison, “Moondance Deluxe Edi-tion”: Van Morrison’s seminal 1970 album of the same name, now re-mastered as a one-, two- or four-CD and Blu-ray audio pack-age from Warner Bros., sounds as crisp and swing-danceable as it did when it hit the airwaves 43 years ago. If you fancy yourself a music fan and don’t own the album yet, you have no excuse. If you’re a fan of Van the Man, the deluxe edition will probably blow your mind. Only true audiophiles with a way to listen to music that doesn’t involve ear buds will appreciate the re-mastering, but there are 50 unreleased session recordings here, includ-ing a piano-heavy version of the title track and six takes of “Brand New Day.” It’s a trip to hear Van Morrison try out different tempos and vocal styles for “Into the Mystic.” Also included, a previously unreleased song that didn’t make the final album called “I Shall Sing.” Overall it’s a rare look inside the making of an album that Rolling Stone ranked as No. 65 on its list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

REVIEWS

‘Battlefield 4’Platforms: PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PCGenre: ShooterPublisher: EA GamesESRB Rating: M for MatureGrade: 4 stars (out of 5)

We’re getting closer to a universal truth about “Battle-field”: You come for the action, and you stay for the multiplayer.

Recent editions have proven that quality is fleeting in the franchise’s single-player campaigns. Where we gamers end up (correctly) focusing our attention is in the online competitive modes, where EA seems to be devoting its efforts. I long for a mili-tary shooter that sucks you into a tightly woven narrative with complex players, but that just isn’t what “Battlefield 4” sells. It sells controlled mayhem.

First, about the campaign: You go through the peaks and valleys of the plot, but not much sticks with you. The char-acters deliver some lines, and world lead-ers bark out orders to send your band of soldiers into harm’s way via massive set pieces and shootouts.

Unfortunately those characters’ lines plummet deep into a well of generic dia-logue and the missions follow predictable beats with overly dramatic twists and turns. Perhaps the 15 people who’ve never played a military shooter will find them compelling, but for the other 80 bagillion folks playing the game it’s worn-down ter-ritory.

Tighten up those boots and make sure your flak jacket is securely fastened because everything changes once you enter the online multiplayer. Rather than

just rehash and improve the standard death-match and team-based modes, “Bat-tlefield 4” makes some intelligent twists to make new modes addicting. Obliteration stands out as a blockbuster, where two teams fight control of a bomb and use it to take down enemy positions.

In previous games vehicular engage-ment was a luxury, but now everyone can play and experience game-changing moments. Boats hum down watery chan-nels laying suppressing fire or perhaps a helicopter wastes an entire pack of sol-diers waiting to ambush your compatriots. Never before has a game so wonderfully packed battles with land, sea, and air com-ponents. Trust me when I say the Paracel Storm mission is one you’ll likely never stop playing and will change the way you see multiplayer maps.

It’s bad enough that customization options for your soldier and vehicles fill up several hours’ of your time; now EA has developed multiple ingenious maps to test your mettle in the war theater. Level up enough and the much-beloved com-mander view becomes available, allowing you to issue orders to squad leaders and see the entire battlefield from high above. Type-A personalities will drool over this ability to help shape the outcomes of mis-sions by pointing out potential traps or assisting their team with a timely aerial strike or airdrop of a vital supply cache.

Since we’re fully mired in the “should I buy it now for my 360/PS3 or wait for the new consoles to come out” void of decision-making, I’d say let reality (and your wallet) be your guide. The Xbox One and PS4 versions look amazing and provide not only better visual quality but expanded options. But if you crave the desire to rain hellfire from an unmanned drone or knock down buildings and don’t plan to get a new console soon, you won’t be disappointed by the current-gen ver-sions of the game.

MOVIES

By ROGER MOOREMcClatchy-Tribune News Service

It begins with a 90-minute fashion show masquerading as a sci-fi epic, and ends abruptly.

Because “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” is the most female-friendly/runway-ready sci-fi franchise ever, and the latest in the four-film trilogy is meant to be a cliffhanger, after all.

But once things FINALLY get underway, this humorless chatterbox of intrigues, rebellion and a love triangle that seems “Twilighty” in its lovelessness packs in some real pathos. And while it may leave fans begging for more, and right away, the rest of the universe can be excused for rolling its collective eyes and snapping, “Oh, for Peeta’s sake, get ON with it.”

The victors in the 74th Hunger Games are touring the land, shar-ing their “love story for the ages” at the behest of the Capital, and

the president, played by Donald Sutherland.

President Snow knows all, including the fact that Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutch-erson) don’t click as a couple.

Katniss also knows too much and senses the unrest in the land, which worries the daylights out of Snow. Perhaps she’ll use her manufactured celebrity to inspire

a revolt.And they cannot leave her and

Peeta to their dull District 12 mining lives, where Katniss can share her REAL feelings with hunky miner Gale (Liam Hems-worth).

So the “next” Hunger Games, the 75th, the “Quarter Quell” event, will round up lots of recent winners/survivors of the Games to go at it, to the death, to get these symbolic young lovers/would-be revolutionaries out of the way. Aiding President Snow’s designs are Plutarch, the game builder (Philip Seymour Hoff-man). He envisions turning the public against Katniss.

They spent more on pro-duction design for this wintry, woodsy sequel to “The Hunger Games.” Lawrence has since won an Oscar and has grown into a formidable young woman, and Hutcherson’s voice has deepened and has real screen presence, now. The acting is better, with Jeffrey

Wright, Amanda Plummer, Jena Malone and Sam Claflin brought in as games players.

Lionsgate hired an Oscar-winning screenwriter (Simon “Slumdog Millionaire” Beaufoy) and “Constantine”/“I Am Leg-end” director Francis Lawrence to handle both this film and the upcoming pair of “Mockingjay” movies. Which doesn’t exactly pay dividends. Francis Lawrence is nobody’s idea of an A-list sci-fi director.

Woody Harrelson’s Haymitch, the veteran of the Games who conspires to keep our two Mock-ingjay lovebirds alive, evolves into a nobler if still boozy men-tor. Elizabeth Banks has even more outlandish costumes and makeup as Effie, the couple’s PR consultant, but nothing funny to say or play.

Only Stanley Tucci, all teeth and purple hair in a ponytail, wrings laughs from this grim slog through the middle acts of novel-

ist Suzanne Collins’ Y.A. opus.Not that it’s supposed to be

that amusing, but something is needed to break up the glumness. Deep thoughts about re-directing cynically manipulated celebrity, lump-in-the-throat moments at people rising up against their oppressors, a couple of memora-ble deaths and attempts at sacri-fice are flat when there’s nothing around them to serve as contrast.

“Catching Fire” has promis-ing themes where young people trapped in a cutthroat competi-tion question authority and try to reason their way out of a kill-or-be-killed fate.

But the sad realization sinks in, just as the fashion show is ending and the action movie is beginning, that this is as good as Lionsgate cares to make these pictures. The die is cast for the rest of the series.

Maybe “Divergent,” the March 2014 “Hunger Games” knockoff starring Shailene Woodley, will be better.

‘THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE’

HH Cast: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hems-worth, Woody Harrelson, Eliza-beth Banks, Stanley Tucci, Jeffrey Wright Running time: 2:26 MPAA rating: PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, some frightening images, thematic elements, a suggestive situation and lan-guage

Jennifer Lawrence (foreground to background), Josh Hutcherson and Woody Harrelson star in “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.”

MINI-REVIEWSCompiled from news services.Ratings are one to four stars. “Captain Phillips” — Director Paul Greengrass (“The Bourne Supremacy”) delivers another intense, emotionally exhaust-ing thriller with amazing verite camerawork and gut-wrenching realism. Smack in the middle is Tom Hanks in a career-crowning performance as a worldly sea captain taken hostage by Soma-li pirates. Even as Greengrass’ signature kinetic style renders us nearly seasick and emotion-ally spent from the action, it’s the work of Hanks that makes this film unforgettable. Thriller, PG-13, 134 minutes. HHHH “Dallas Buyers Club” — Matthew McConaughey plays Ron Woodroof, a grimy, shady, homophobic, substance-abusing horndog in 1985 Texas who learns he’s HIV-positive and procures unap-proved means of treatment. McConaughey’s masterful job of portraying one of the more deeply flawed anti-heroes in recent screen history reminds us why he became a movie star in the first place. We start out loathing this guy and learn to love him. Jared Leto disappears into the role of a transgender drug addict and Jennifer Garner is Ron’s empa-thetic doctor. Drama, R, 117 minutes. HHH1⁄2 “Ender’s Game” — A first-rate cast of wily veterans (Harrison Ford, Ben Kingsley) and fresh-faced youngsters (Asa Butterfield of “Hugo”) deliver a rousing, challenging adventure that should satisfy most young fans of the beloved sci-fi novel while keeping the adults engrossed as well. The simulated battles against scary aliens are beautifully shot and expertly choreographed. Sci-fi adventure, PG-13, 114 min-utes. HHH “Gravity” — An accident sets two astronauts, a veteran (George Clooney) and a rookie (Sandra Bullock), adrift in space. Both a stunning visual treat and an unforgettable thrill ride, director Alfonso Cuaron’s amazing space adventure evokes “Alien” and “2001: A Space Odyssey.” During some harrowing sequences, you’ll have to remind yourself to breathe. Thriller, PG-13, 91 min-utes. HHH1⁄2 “Nebraska” — What a joy it is to watch Bruce Dern playing such a miserable SOB in the best role of his long career. Woody Grant is a crabby, boozy, sometimes delusional

old guy on a road trip with his son (Will Forte) to collect a sweepstakes prize. Alexander Payne’s latest film is a mod-ern American classic about the dynamic between a father from the generation that didn’t speak about its feelings and a grown son who’s still trying to get his father to explain himself. Stark, beautiful and memorable. Drama, R, 115 minutes. HHHH “Salinger” — One can under-stand why the reclusive author J.D. Salinger (and the critics of this film) would cringe at many of the suppositions and stylistic flourishes in this documentary. But despite its considerable flaws, “Salinger” is a valuable and engrossing biography of the author of arguably the most beloved American novel of the 20th century. Documentary, PG-13, 129 minutes. HHH “The Book Thief” — A won-drous, richly textured, some-times heartbreakingly effective movie about good Germans in World War II, including a remarkable little girl and the couple who took her in while sheltering a teenage Jewish boy in their basement. Geof-frey Rush and Emily Watson

deserve Oscar consideration for their lovely, layered per-formances. One of the year’s best movies. Drama, PG-13, 131 minutes. HHHH “Thor: The Dark World” — Fires on all cylinders at times, with fine work from returning stars Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman, a handful of hilarious sight gags and some cool action sequences. But it’s also more than a little bit silly and quite ponderous and overly reliant on special effects that are more confus-ing than exhilarating. Let’s face it, Thor’s kind of a bore and not nearly as intriguing as his deeply conflicted adopted bro, Loki (Tom Hiddleston). Fantasy action, PG-13, 112 minutes. HH1⁄2 “The Best Man Holiday” — As was the case in 1999’s “The Best Man,” the talented and enormously likable cast (including Morris Chestnut, Taye Diggs, Sanaa Lathan and Nia Long) have terrific, natural chemistry in this sequel and turn in excellent performances while alternating between light comedy and some seriously heavy dramatic lifting. Comedy drama, R, 122 minutes. HHH

Current, John C. Ebner, Ray Hill, John-Franklin Koenig, Alden Mason, Peter Millet, Allen Moe, Keith Monaghan, Carl Morris, Spencer Moseley, Geoffrey Pagen, Camille Patha, Richard M. Proctor, Kait Rhoads, Paul Soldner, Mark Tobey and Gerard Tsutakawa.
