FROM THE EDITOR A few decades ago, Pete Rose was hanging on my bedroom wall.

Now “Charlie Hustle” is hanging out on TLC on Monday nights. And while I know I shouldn’t watch, I just can’t seem to help myself.

Rose currently stars in the reality show “Pete Rose: Hits and Mrs.” with his much, much younger fiance, Kiana Kim, and her two children.

Now, the Pete Rose of my childhood — the one ripping a single up the middle

on my huge poster — has long since disappeared. I know the man’s ego has no bounds, and that the self-proclaimed “Hit King” bet on baseball, so I’m obviously not surprised that he would do just about anything — including a reality show — for money, attention and an opportunity to tell his side of the banishment-frombaseball story.

I just wish he wouldn’t. At least not like this.

Now 71 years old, Rose is also overweight and losing much of his famously unique hair. “Hustle” really doesn’t fit him anymore. And yet, there he is, still acting like he’s a world-wide superstar while trying to keep up with his thirtysomething

fiance and bellyaching about the former Playboy model’s desire to have breastreduction surgery.

I hate Pete’s clothes. I hate his fedoras.

And I hate myself a little bit for watching every episode. I guess I just keep thinking that something “Big Red Machine” in nature will suddenly happen to make it all worthwhile.

Unfortunately, all of what was left of Pete’s dignity seemed to disappear by the mere fact that “Pete Rose: Hits and Mrs.” has been broadcast immediately following episodes of “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.” — Jeff Hunter

‘Austenland’ is the place

PET OF THE WEEK

By Aaron Peck Cache film critic

Available for adoption

I write this fully knowing that Logan is blanketed in a thick smoggy inversion. Park City, on the other hand, has been all sunshine all the time. Even though the people visiting from California swear that it’s still really cold up here on the mountain (around 30 to 35 degrees everyday), for us Utahans it’s downright balmy.

The entire town has been teeming with celebrities.

I joked with a colleague that finding reliable wi-fi is harder than finding celebrities. He laughed because he knew it was true. Perhaps the biggest celebrity I’ve spotted was Daniel Radcliffe. I was walking into a theater venue trying to push my way through a crowd of squealing girls. Directly to my right a grown-up Harry Potter was taking pictures with swooning teenagers screaming his name. I also bumped into Montel Williams at Starbucks. From A-list worldwide stars to talk show hosts. They’re all here.

I’ve been in Park City for five days now and I’ve seen 15 movies. I had planned to see around 20

‘Twilight’ author helped get Hale’s book made into film PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — Stephenie Meyer knows all about obsessive fans. So it makes sense that the “Twilight” author should produce a movie about a woman who takes another writer’s work a little too much to heart.

Meyer is a producer on the Sundance Film Festival premiere “Austenland,” adapted from by this point, but scheduling simply hasn’t gone as smoothly this time around.

Jared Hess, his wife, Jerusha, finds herself in the director’s chair. The movie is called “Austenland,” which is based off Shannon Hale’s book of the same name.

The movie is about a Jane Austen fanatic not-socoincidentally named Jane (Keri Russell). She’s such a crazed follower of the literary star that she figures the best way to live out her “Pride and Prejudice” fantasies would be to take a vacation in England to a place that specializes in providing the premier Jane Austen experience. Jane is looking for her own Mr. Darcy, and she’s completely sure she’ll find him.

ALL MIXED UP

Quotable

all mixed up Logan Youth tell ‘Winter’s Tale’ USU Passionate jealousy. Crazy jealousy. Jealousy so fierce it overwhelms King Leontes and threatens to destroy everything and everyone he loves. Add a couple of star-crossed lovers, a well-meaning shepherd and his ridiculous son, a singing pickpocket, and, of course, a bear, and you’ve got “The Winter’s Tale,” Shakespeare’s beautiful story of remorse, redemption and the dangerous power of love.

Presented in its entirety by the award-winning young actors of Logan Youth Shakespeare, “The Winter’s Tale” will be performed at 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 25, and 2 p.m.

children.

Directed by Daniel B. Kaminsky, “Harvey” tells the story of Mr. Elwood P. Dowd and his unseen and presumably imaginary friend, a six-and-a-half foot tall rabbit named Harvey.

When Elwood introduces his pooka to guests at a party being held by his sister Veta and her daughter Myrtle, they have had as much of his behavior as they can take.

Veta, who attempts to have Elwood com-

mitted to spare her and her daughter from any further embarrassment, is committed herself by the doctors of Chumley’s Rest Home feeling that she cannot function in society in her current emotional state.

Comedy ensues as Elwood’s family and the doctors try to find Elwood and resolve this matter once and for all.

But in all of this ado, what does Harvey think of the situation and how will he help set things right?

The Caine College of the Arts at Utah State University presents a collaborative project entitled “Ideas, an Exhibition” at the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art in the Chase Fine Arts Center complex.

“Ideas, an Exhibition” is open now through the end of May and is free and open to the public.

The exhibition resulted from a fall-semester collaboration between assistant professor Rachel Middleman’s art history class and museum curator Deb Banerjee. Twelve students explored the history and ideas of conceptual art while learning about specific pieces in the museum’s collection, including those in the vaults. The project resulted in a student-researched and curated exhibition that can be seen in the West Gallery of the museum.

“The idea for this course was to use the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art as a laboratory for learning about conceptual art,” Middleman said.

The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Monday through Friday, and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Saturday. For more information on the exhibition, call 797-0163 or visit the museum’s website at artmuseum.usu.edu.

Imago has performed in China, Europe and at some of North America’s most revered festivals.

“We are thrilled to extend our regular age limits for this show to include children ages 3 and up,” said Wally Bloss, executive director for the Cache Valley Center for the Arts. “This playful show is perfect for the entire family.”

Still playing It should come as no surprise that every character in a movie with a title like this is either rotten to the core, or a liar, or a schemer, or the bearer of seriously damaging secrets. What is surprising is that these characters never feel like real people, despite a series of twists that should, in theory, reveal hidden, unexpected facets of their personalities and despite being played by big-name stars including Mark Wahlberg, Russell Crowe and Catherine Zeta-Jones. They’re all still conniving, only with varying alliances and targets. At the center of these dizzying double crosses is Wahlberg as Billy Taggart, a former New York police detective who got kicked off the force after a questionable shooting. Seven years later, Billy is barely getting by as a Brooklyn private eye.

Then one day, the mayor (Crowe), who’d always been on Billy’s side, hires Billy to investigate whether his wife (Zeta-Jones) is having an affair.

He’s up for re-election in a week and

You are Invited to Attend the

The Arnold Schwarzenegger movie you didn’t even realize you wanted to see. This is the action superstar’s first leading role in a decade, having left acting to serve as the governor of California and whatnot, and while it may not have occurred to you to miss him during that time, it’s still surprisingly good to see him on the big screen again. He is not exactly pushing himself here. Korean director Kim Jee-woon’s American filmmaking debut turns out to be an extremely Schwarzeneggerish Schwarzenegger film, full of big, violent set pieces and broad comedy.

He may look a little creaky (and facially freaky) these days, but Arnold proves he’s still game for the mayhem as he fires off rounds and tosses off oneliners, and the movie at least has the decency to acknowledge that it knows that you know that he’s old. The script also feels a bit old — “The Last Stand” is essentially an amped-up version of “Rio Bravo,” with some “Jackass”-style hijinks courtesy of Johnny Knoxville

A Mexican drug kingpin (Eduardo Noriega) daringly escapes federal custody and heads for a quiet Arizona border town where Schwarzenegger, as the sheriff, rounds up a posse of misfits to stop him. But Kim keeps things moving briskly and the members of the strong supporting cast (Peter Stormare, Luis Guzman, Forest Whitaker) don’t seem to mind that they’re playing flimsy types. Everyone’s just here for a mindless good time.

provide some comic relief as the wide-eyed fish out of water. (An underused Patti LuPone classes things up a bit as her sassy Latina mama.)

But playing weak and girlish isn’t exactly Lopez’ strong suit, and she never functions as a potential romantic interest for Parker because it’s been well-established that he’s in love with Claire (Emma Booth), the daughter of his grizzled mentor (Nick Nolte), who is well aware of the dangers of the life he’s chosen and sticks by him nonetheless.

So basically, we’re just here to ogle J.Lo’s world-famous derriere as she turns around slowly in a polka-dotted bra and panty set. It is also a popular tourist destination.

Statham’s ‘Parker’ is rather perfunctory

Story by Chuck Nunn

Through Aggie Eyes USU exhibit spotlights photos of Craig Law and RT Clark

S

ince Jan. 14, Cache Valley residents and the Utah State University community alike have had the opportunity to view the work of two artistic pioneers.

The Caine College of the Arts at Utah State University is hosting an exhibit featuring photography from emeritus professors RT Clark and Craig Law at the Tippets Exhibit Hall of the Chase Fine Arts Center.

The exhibit is part of a series of non-student shows coordinated by current USU professor Chris Terry. About five years ago, the Department of Art and Design put in a new gallery space devoted to student work, which freed up the Tippets gallery for other kinds of exhibitions.

“I’ve been trying to bring in things from off campus and do different kinds of things,” Terry said. “We’ve featured a show before Christmas of high school art teachers from around Utah. At this time of year, around Arts Week, I’ve kind of started the tradition of inviting former faculty, so retired faculty can come back and exhibit their work, and both RT and Craig Law are both retired, so it was nice to bring them back for an exhibition.”

While fairly new, the exhibitions from former faculty members is a tradition that Terry hopes to keep going, and the success the shows have had thus far point to it continuing.

“There’s always possibilities that your new tradition can get derailed somehow, but we’re already talking about who we might invite for next year, so I think that this is going to be pretty firmly established now,” Terry said.

“The community likes it, and I think our faculty and students enjoy it.”

The decision for Clark and Law to exhibit together was a natural one, as both men have not only worked extensively in outdoor photography but also have personal and professional connections from their time at USU. Clark was the first person hired full-time to teach photography at USU. He advanced to

head of the art department during the 1980s. Law was one of his students at USU, and when a position opened in 1977, Law returned to work for him as a faculty member. Law took over as department head in the 1990s and retired from USU about a year and a half ago.

Law may be most widely known in the photography community for his work with the Barrier Canyon Style Project, a nonprofit organization devoted to the study of ancient American Indian petroglyphs and pictographs. While the current exhibit doesn’t include those images, he’s shown them often at USU, most recently in 2010. It’s work he’s proud of.

“It’s kind of been a service thing for the larger community,” Law said. “These images won’t stay in my archive; they’ll be in the different state archives around, and they can be used by

the archaeological community and others to see what was here during our time, because it’s changing. Sometimes the environment causes some of the paintings to fleck off, or sometimes you have malicious activity from someone in our contemporary society marking over the top or things like that.

Wow ... 2013 is starting off with a big bang of disillusion.

I’m not sure that one can even be disillusioned anymore when illusion seems to be the norm.

While Law and Clark are both noted outdoor photographers, their distinct styles and approaches are both contrasting and complementary.

“Everything there is kind of nature based, and there’s a distinct difference,” Terry explained. “RT is interested in microcosm, so he’ll look at things very close, and Craig’s work in this show is mostly this kind of macrocosm, where you pull back and get this broad, broad panorama in many cases of the Western landscape.”

Clark recently suffered a stroke, but while he hasn’t been out front in the exhibits with Law, the two men still work very closely on the images that represent Clark’s work in their shows.

Books Chevalier’s latest novel a disappointment

By Kim Curtis Associated Press

Tracy Chevalier’s “Girl With a Pearl Earring,” which brought Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer to life, has become a near-classic in contemporary historical fiction. And her latest novel, “The Last Runaway,” takes on similarly fascinating and little-known subject matter — the Quakers’ role in the Underground Railroad during the mid-1800s.

Heroine Honor Bright leaves England for America, settles in Ohio and becomes intimately involved in the movement — helping run-

away slaves reach freedom.

Sounds great, right? But despite this compelling fictional backdrop, Chevalier’s storytelling just doesn’t do it justice.

Bright, despite her name, is anything but. Her character is flat and dull and spends much of her time longing for home, harshly judging her new American friends and family and talking about how she really shouldn’t be complaining about it. This criticism seems all the more confusing when we learn that Chevalier intended her latest novel as her “love letter home.” (She’s made her home in England for nearly 30 years.) The rest

of the characters are similarly unsympathetic and undeveloped.

And the quilting. Clearly, the discussion of quilting — the patterns, the styles, the methods — is intended as a motif to carry the reader seamlessly through the story. Instead, it feels obvious, annoying and overdone.

That said, it’s a quick read as Chevalier’s writing is solid and compelling. “The Last Runaway” remains a page turner as readers are anxiously waiting for something to happen. But when things do happen, the action seems trite and well-trodden.

Two Chastain films top box-office list NEW YORK (AP) — Jessica Chastain easily outmuscled Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mark Wahlberg over the weekend, topping the box office with both her supernatural horror film “Mama” and the Oscar-nominated Osama bin Laden hunt thriller “Zero Dark Thirty.”

“Mama” opened well above expectations with a box-office topping $28.1 million for Universal Pictures, according to studio estimates Sunday. Chastain also held the second spot with “Zero Dark Thirty,” for which she’s nominated by the Academy Awards for best actress. In its second week of wide release, “Zero Dark Thirty” took in $17.6 million.

The films’ strong performances made an unlikely box-office queen out of a chameleon-like actress that even fans of “Mama” might have trouble picking out of a lineup. Chastain, whose credits range from Terrence Malick’s “The Tree of Life” to “The

Help” (for which she was also Oscar nominated), even accomplished the rare feat by besting a couple more traditional box-office stalwarts.

Schwarzenegger’s post-governorship comeback got off to a terrible start. His action flick “The Last Stand” opened with just $6.3 million for Lionsgate, one of the worst debuts for the brawny 65-year-old star. The film came in 10th.

Though Schwarzenegger co-starred in “The Expendables 2,” which opened with $28.6 million in August, “The Last Stand” is his first proper starring vehicle since exiting the California governor’s seat in January 2011.

The Mark Wahlberg, Russell Croweled New York crime film “Broken City” didn’t fare much better. The Fox release premiered with $9.1 million.

The Oscar-nominated “Django Unchained,” meanwhile, became Quentin Tarantino’s biggest box-office hit in its fourth week.

Place Continued from Page 3 This is certainly the most commercial movie the Hess family has ever made. It’s much more accessible than the odd humor of “Nacho Libre” or “Napoleon Dynamite.” Jennifer Coolidge is frustratingly over the top as always, but the movie will play well in Utah for sure. It’s funny, light-hearted, and only a tad bit on the cheesy side. It should be one to keep an eye out for in the coming months.

Another movie that really wowed me was James Pondsolt’s “The Spectacular Now” based off of the novel

by Tim Tharp. I thought Tharp’s novel had strong characters and story arcs, but reeked of an old person straining to write dialogue for teenagers. The movie irons out the dialogue kinks and creates an honest, thought-provoking, coming-of-age drama which is candid about life and love in high school.

Those are really the only two movies that have caught my attention during the first half of the festival. Both of them should receive a wider release later on down the line, so look for them at the local theaters before too long.

Hopefully many of you will be able to experience the festival, even if it means just travelling down to Ogden.

In case you didn’t know, they show Sundance movies in Ogden, as well, at Peery’s Egyptian Theater. See, it’s not just a Park City thing. Although, if you want to get out of the inversion, then drive on up. Bright sunshine, clean air and previously unseen movies are waiting for you.

Wishing back their bountiful youth.

They breath the night, And pray for clarity.

They hate the accepted, That live in prosperity.

Slaves of the stars, They wander in shadows, Pining protection, From being exposed.

They cannot remember, Their hopeful dream, Of awakening from darkness, With eyes that gleam.

Not knowing themselves, They hide from the lies, Hoping that someone, Might hear their cries.

And when truth is lost, A hand reaches out.

It comforts the pain, And disregards the doubt.

“I have seen firsthand fanatic fans, passionate people who want to live in that world so badly, who want to be a part of it,” Meyer said Saturday in an interview. “I’ve seen tattoos that scare me to death.

But they don’t understand.

What is this hidden kindness, This reaching hand?

For all of their life, All they’ve known is sorrow.

The chocking strife, The dying tomorrow.

But now, they are here, And they must awaken.

They must stop their fear.

Stop living, forsaken.

The songs of the old, Are reaching out.

Their hands are cold, But their voices ring out.

They have lived in agony so long, And their life is a blur.

And when truth is lost, A hand reaches out.

“Austenland” marks the directing debut of Jerusha Hess, whose career took off with the 2004 Sundance hit “Napoleon Dynamite,” which she co-wrote with her husband, director Jared Hess.

She and Meyer met up through mutual friend Hale. Meyer, who read “Austenland” before it was published, said that she and Hale joked that 10 years down the road, they would get a camera, go to England and make it into a movie themselves.

Hale later met Hess about another film project and mentioned that she and Meyer

She was a pretty girl, With a lot of charm.

She’s so kind and thoughtful, Her heart is made of gold.

“Jerusha’s phenomenally funny and she’s just very self-deprecating.

She doesn’t realize how adorable she is. She’s really fun to hang out with.”

Hess, whose “Napoleon Dynamite” world was off-kilter, read Hale’s novel of Austen zealotry and had her own vision for the film version.

“Let’s make it weirder,” said Hess, who joked Photo by Giles Keyte Keri Russell, far right, stars in “Austenland,” which will be that she instructed production associates to distributed by Sony Pictures Worldwide. make sure 50 pounds of feathers were in every this,’” said Meyer, who were dreaming of turnshot and suggested that hit it off immediately ing “Austenland” into a the servants’ codpieces with Hess. “Jerusha’s movie. all be stuffed.

“Austenland” co-stars Jennifer Coolidge, JJ Field, Georgia King and Bret McKenzie of the music duo Flight of the Conchords.

While Russell’s Jane in “Austenland” is a hopeless romantic, Meyer said she’s a very different character from Bella Swan, the lovestruck teen played by Kristen Stewart in the five blockbusters adapted from the “Twilight” books.

“Bella isn’t like this super fan girl,” Meyer said. “Kristen has her own take on it, but for me, Bella is kind of a homebody. She’s very practical, and she doesn’t get lost in fantasies.”
