Tuning Up Page 9

Brian Lee and the Orbiters play the Conway Muse on Friday night.

Anyone starting holi-day shopping early will be able to find a variety of DVDs to give as gifts.

“Maleficent”: Untold tale of the Disney vil-lain. Angelina Jolie stars.

Jolie rules this film with a powerful acting grace accented by direc-tor Robert Stromberg’s film style that shifts from film noir to chil-dren’s comedy without a flinch. There’s just not enough fleshing out of the story to support these elements.

The villain of this film is the script by Linda Woolverton, which promises Malefi-cent’s real story but delivers little more than a couple of variations on the original theme. Woolverton should have aggressively adapted the story to add something more original. The times when she does stretch, she falls so short it’s obvious this writing task exceeded her grasp

“Planes: Fire & Rescue”: When Dusty’s career looks to be over, he vol-unteers to fight fires. The combination of Dusty’s epic struggle, some dazzling visual effects and a fun bunch of char-acters makes this a fun family film.

It may be the simple fact that the sequel was always intended for the big screen and not a last-minute bump from a direct-to-DVD release, but every element of “Planes: Fire & Res-cue” is much stronger than in the first film. Considering it took off from an entertaining place, this is one sequel that flies rings around the original offering.

“The Sopranos”: There once was a time on television when it was easy to tell the good guys from the bad guys. But television bad guys changed because of this series.

No one personified the new televi-sion bad guy more than Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini), who headlines the critically acclaimed HBO series. You can see all of his good and evil clearly as the entire series is released in one Blu-ray set.

One reason the series is so strong is

because of its setting: the average-looking New Jersey suburban family clashes with the organized-crime world of murder and extor-tion. Take away the mob connection and Tony Soprano would be just another TV dad unable to cope with parenting.

It is still one of the best series in TV his-tory.

“The Newsroom: The Complete Second Season”: Aaron Sor-kin’s look inside a cable newsroom. Jeff Daniels stars.

“Reno 911!: Com-plete Uncensored Series”: Includes six seasons of the comedy series.

“Hercules”: Hercules (Dwayne Johnson) has

to defeat a tyrannical warlord.“Rio 2 Sing Along”: You can sing-

along with your favorite characters.“The Dog”: Story of man behind

bank robbery that inspired the film “Dog Day Afternoon.”

“Hill Street Blues: Season Three”: Features 22 episodes from the Emmy Award-winning drama.

“A Most Wanted Man”: Illegal immigrant gets caught in an interna-tional war on terror.

“White Collar”- Season Five: Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer) must deal with a new handler.

“Impractical Jokers: The Com-plete Second Season”: Three-disc set includes 26 episodes.

“Sgt. Bilko/The Phil Silvers Show: The Complete Series”: Military com-edy that ran from 1955-1959.

“World War One Collection”: Included are four BBC productions.

“Agatha Christie’s Poirot: Series 13”: These are the final TV cases for the sleuth.

“Little House On The Prairie: A Merry Ingalls Christmas”: Two epi-sodes of the TV series that look at the holidays.

“Worst Friends”: Prankster must depend on childhood friend after car accident.

Skagit Valley Herald staff

Skagit Opera takes on another challenging and ambitious produc-tion this week as “Aida” starts a four-performance run on Friday, Nov. 7, at McIntyre Hall.

The company produced “Die Fle-dermaus” earlier this year, in addition to “Rigoletto” and “Lucia Di Lam-mermoor” in 2013. “Cinderella (La Cenerentola) is set to open in February 2015.

Written by Guiseppe Verdi, “Aida” has elements of grandeur but is an intensely personal love story overflow-ing with passion, according to a news release.

The splendors of ancient Egypt are the backdrop for the mythic love tri-angle. Ethiopian princess Aida, now a slave and rival of the Egyptian princess,

Amneris, is torn between love for her country and love for the Egyptian war-rior Radames. The lovers try to defy the odds, but their fates are sealed.

Mitchell Kahn is the company Board President and General Director, stage direction is by Erich Parce, and the cast is led by Sedro-Woolley native Corinna Quilliam as Aida, Erin Mur-phy as Amneris, Mathew Edwardsen as Radames and Jonathan Silvia as Ramfis.

MOVIES

MINI-REVIEWSCompiled from news services.Ratings are one to four stars.

“A Walk Among the Tomb-stones” — Liam Neeson plays Matthew Scudder, an alcoholic private investigator hired to find a drug dealer’s kidnapped wife. Scudder spends a lot more time work-ing out his demons than he does drawing his gun, and that makes him all the more interesting. Thriller, R, 114 minutes. HHH “Birdman” — In the crown-ing performance of his career, the darkly funny, brooding Michael Keaton plays a faded movie star attempting a come-back by directing and starring in a Broadway play. This is a strange and beautiful and unique film, one of the best of the year. Comedy/drama, R, 119 minutes. HHHH “Dear White People” — This campus-based satire addresses core issues of racial stereotypes with equal parts humor and drama. Justin Simien’s screenplay is tight, funny, smart and insight-ful, and his direction has just enough indie feel without becoming too self-conscious or preachy. Comedy/drama, R, 108 minutes. HHH

1⁄2 “Fury” — In his attempt to portray the horrors of war — even a war in its final days — writer/director David Ayer has squandered a great opportu-nity with “Fury.” There is much to potentially like about the film, in particular the actors. But it draws far too heavily from the war-movie-cliché list: the grizzled, no-nonsense vet-eran; the dim Southern bully; the meek newcomer who gets a quick and brutal indoctrina-tion. Stars Brad Pitt, Shia LeBeouf, Logan Lerman and Michael Pena. War drama, R, 2:13. HH “Guardians of the Galaxy” — Chris Pratt plays the leader of a misfit band of anti-heroes, including a cynical raccoon and a walking tree, in this refreshing cownfection of entertainment, a mostly light-hearted and self-referential comic-book movie with loads of whiz-bang action, some laugh-out-loud moments and a couple of surprisingly beauti-ful and touching scenes as well. Sci-fi action, PG-13, 122 minutes. HHH

1⁄2 “Gone Girl” — Ben Affleck gives one of his best perfor-mances as the prime suspect in his wife’s disappearance. It’s a thing of beauty watching the characters from Gillian

Flynn’s novel manipulate, stumble, recover and stumble again. Mystery thriller, R, 149 minutes. HHH

1⁄2 “Kill the Messenger” — Jer-emy Renner’s performance as 1990s investigative journalist Gary Webb is one of the more authentic portrayals of an old-fashioned, telephone-working reporter in recent memory. This movie, a solid tribute to his work, is as much about what happens to Webb after the story breaks as it is about his investigative heroics. Biographic drama, R, 112 min-utes. HHH “Men, Women & Children” — We can reach others con-stantly, but we still struggle to truly communicate with one another. This is the abiding theme of Jason Reitman’s perceptive, moving slice of modern life -- a time capsule of a film that understands how much technology domi-nates the lives of teenagers, as well as the parents trying their best to keep up with the times. Comedy drama, R, 116 minutes. HHH

1⁄2 “Nightcrawler” — As a freelance vulture who records video of crime and crash scenes for TV news, Jake Gyl-lenhaal plays one of the most disturbing movie characters

of the year. But the film veers from dark satire to tense crime thriller before the tires come off near the end, leaving the entire vehicle just short of worth recommending. Crime thriller, R, 117 minutes. HH

1⁄2 “St. Vincent” — This story of a chain-smoking gambler baby-sitting the neighbor kid is a prime showcase for Bill Mur-ray and his skill set. Nearly every scene is contrived, but writer-director Ted Melfi has a nice way with dialogue, and the cast -— including Melissa McCarthy and young Jaeden Lieberher -— is uniformly out-standing. Comedy, PG-13, 102 minutes. HHH

1⁄2 “The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Her and Him” — After a version of this story called “Them” told of a romance and breakup, “Her” and “Him” take us through the same timeline from each person’s perspective. The “Her” supporting players are more interesting, but thanks to a rich screenplay and Jes-sica Chastain’s acting, I was immersed in this story no matter who was telling the tale. Drama, R, 195 minutes. “Her” – HHH

1⁄2; “Him” – HHH “The Fault in Our Stars” — With lesser source material, an average director and an OK

cast, the adaptation of John Green’s novel about the glory and unfairness of life could have lost me. But everyone involved, from director Josh Boone to transcendent star Shailene Woodley and beyond, has talents way beyond the average. Drama, PG-13, 125 minutes. HHHH “The Equalizer” — The movie reunites director Antoine Fuqua with Denzel Washington, who earned his second Academy Award for his portrayal of a violent, cor-rupt police officer in “Training Day.” That film was far from flawless, but Washington was electric and the movie crackled with a grimy, big-city energy. By contrast: For all its bloodletting and earnest approach, “The Equalizer” ends up being a bit on the listless side. Action-drama, R, 128 minutes. H1⁄2 “The Judge” — Robert Downey Jr. commands the screen as a hotshot lawyer who returns to his small hometown and defends his father (Robert Duvall) against a murder rap. But by the time all the ghosts and feuds have been put to rest, it’s surprising how little we care about these characters. Drama, R, 141 minutes. HH

NEW THIS WEEK“Big Hero 6” is Walt Disney Animation’s lovely and

sometimes touching attempt to do anime with computer-generated animation. Based on Marvel comic book charac-ters, it’s a story-driven kid-pleasing mashup of plots, situa-tions and ideas from scads of earlier tales of misfits battling a super villain.

It’s lightly amusing, even though it isn’t about the gags. It’s a potential franchise-starter, even though it rarely feels that cynical. And when it hits its sentimental third-act sweet spot, you will be touched.

That rampant display of heart makes this the best mes-sage-driven cartoon since “Wall-E.”

In the not-distant future San Francisco has morphed into San Fransokyo, a pan-Asian megalopolis where young genius Hiro Hamada (Ryan Potter) wastes his talent build-ing robots for “Bot Fighting,” which he then gambles on. He’s just been convinced to go to college with his brilliant brother Tadashi at the “Nerd University” where all the sharpest minds, led by the legendary Professor Callaghan (James Cromwell), are inventing the future.

Hiro’s foot in the door? Microrobots that clump into whatever their controller needs them to be — structures, transportation, “the only limit is your imagination.”

But Tadashi and Callaghan die in a fire, and the only thing that pulls Hiro out of his grief is his brother’s legacy, a prototype semi-inflatable “personal healthcare attendant” robot named Baymax.

Baymax is a great sight gag — a bloated “walking marsh-mallow” with a kindly, insistent bedside manner. But he has skills that lead Hiro to conclude his brother was murdered, perhaps by a super villain, and that Baymax can help him find the killer.

The “misfits” who help them are his brother’s inventive classmates — nicknamed Go Go (Jamie Chung), Honey Lemon (Genesis Rodriguez) and Wasabi (Damon Way-ans Jr.) by the goofball Freddy (T.J. Miller doing his best “Shaggy”).

Yes, most every ingredient does seem created by a marketing committee, from the post-racial cast to the merchandise-friendly aggregation of robots and special skills humans.

But Baymax is more than just a ginger-footed joke who masters the fist-bump in the most adorable way, more than a huggable toy showing up in time for Christmas. He responds to cries of pain. He exists to protect, comfort, diagnose and heal. And it takes all of Hiro’s vengeful hatred to turn him from fluffy nurturer into an armored warrior capable of facing down this Kabuki masked villain who may be responsible for Tadashi’s death.

The messages are overwhelmingly positive, from “I’m not giving up on you” to “Seatbelts save lives.” It’s a Marvel movie, so look for a Stan Lee cameo as well as the obliga-tory “outcasts” storyline. As story and characters go, this is a PG and Earthbound “Guardians of the Galaxy.”

It’s manipulative and overlong, too loud and “Incredi-bles” action-packed for the very young. But the manipula-tion errs on the side of mercy, compassion, sacrifice and humanity.

And the tone for “Hero” is actually set by a jewel of a Disney short attached to it. “Feast” is an almost wordless, verge-of-tears comic look at a dog’s life, from starving on the street to wallowing in his new master’s junk food, to the dietary challenges of dating and marriage. It’s just adorable.

Running time: 1:42. Rating: PG for action and peril, some rude humor, and thematic elements.HHH

“My Old Lady”

By AUGUST BROWNLos Angeles Times

Kurt Cobain was always a champion of weird underground bands and the classic rock titans his band would soon

join in the history books. Now there’s a new docu-ment of his rangy, funny and influential tastes in music.

“Montage of Heck” is a mix tape Cobain made on a home 4-track recorder in 1988. It’s now surfaced on the blog Dangerous Minds ( http://danger-ousminds.net/ ), and it’s

a cross between a zany late-night radio show and the coolest college radio sta-tion record collection you could ask for as a late ’80s rock fan.

The mix features snippets of songs ranging from established Cobain favorites (Velvet Underground, Black Sabbath) to contrarian pop favorites

(Sammy Davis Jr., Cher, the Partridge Family) to truly bizarre found-sound snippets (Mike Love of the Beach Boys discussing meditation practices, the singer-songwriter Daniel Johnston yelling about the devil). It’s also got a clip from Shocking Blue’s “Love Buzz,” which Nirvana would cover on its debut 7-inch single.

For a then-21-year-old aspirant punk, it’s a funny and antagonistic document of an insatiable musical mind.

But it’s also a reminder that Nirvana championed all sorts of outre influ-ences, including fringe noise bands and decadent classic rock, on their way to becoming one of the world’s greatest rock bands.

And this was all in the pre-Internet era, when discovering underground acts and forming such open-minded tastes took a lot more effort than today.

Listen to the full mix, and trace the path of influence, humor and pop-savvi-ness that would yield one of America’s most beloved songwriters.
