FROM THE EDITOR Since we live in a beautiful little part of the world nicknamed Bridgerland, I got a little excited earlier this week when I heard that Jim Bridger will be portrayed in an upcoming movie.

While the great mountain man and scout turned up in several films and TV shows during the 1950s and ’60s — not to mention a famous Johnny Horton song — as far as I know, it’s been decades since Bridger was featured in a movie.

But at the moment, Jim Bridger is scheduled to hit the big screen on Christ-

mas Day 2015 in “The Revenant,” a film that tells the extremely unlikely survival story of Hugh Glass.

Portrayed in the film by Leonardo DiCaprio, Glass was a fur trapper who was horribly mauled by a grizzly bear in 1823 in present-day South Dakota. Expedition leader Andrew Henry didn’t believe Glass would survive the ordeal, and left two men behind to stay with him until he died. A 19-year-old named Jim Bridger was one of those men, along with John Fitzgerald.

While they were supposed to bury Glass, Bridger and Fitzgerald apparently took Glass’s possessions and left prematurely. Much to their surprise, Glass somehow managed to survive his injuries, return to the safety of Fort Kiowa and then went looking for Bridger and Fitzgerald.

Currently being filmed near Calgary, Alberta, and in the Canadian Rockies, “The Revenant” is slated for a wide release on Jan. 8, 2016. The director, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, is, of course, a very hot commodity right now thanks to the success of “Birdman,” which is nominated for nine Academy Awards.

I guess that makes me feel a little bit better about the selection of Will Poulter to play the role of Jim Bridger. Best known as the teenage kid in 2013’s “We’re the Millers,” Poulter didn’t exactly come across at mountain-man material in that movie.

Although he did survive a pretty nasty spider bite that would have made even Hugh Glass a little queasy.

‘In Football,’ ‘Meru’ among the highlights at Sundance

– Rentrak media analyst Paul Dergarabeidan on the failure of “Mortdecai” (Page 10)

By Aaron Peck Cache movie critic

Every year the Sundance Film Festival hosts a wide variety of films populated by recognizable Hollywood stars. And every year a group of people complain about how so many films are populated by recognizable Hollywood stars. It’s a valid argument. If the festival is really about independent film, then why would it be filled with so many familiar faces?

There is an easy way to avoid this dilemma because it’s a good bet that many of these movies starring well-known actors are going to get picked up and distributed. If you really want to see the movies that are meant to use the festival as a springboard to relevance it’s always good to check out the documentary sections.

This year I’ve seen quite a few films already, but two documentaries stand out as the best things I’ve seen so far: “In Football We Trust” 3 stars We’re notified at the beginning of this Utahbased documentary that Polynesian-Americans are 28 times more likely to make the NFL than any other minority group.

That sounds like a huge

outlier. Almost like these kids, who are born and bred to compete in football, have realistic chances to play pro football. But we soon learn even high odds are astro-

nomical ones when dealing with playing professional sports.

The movie follows the high school careers of four Utah high school football

players: Harvey Langi (Bingham), Fihi Kaufusi (Highland), and brothers Vita and Leva Bloomfield (Hunter). While the big name of the group is undoubtedly Langi, each one of these kids have aspirations to play college and pro football. Each of them has the talent to do so. The See LOOK on Page 12

all mixed up ‘Seven Brides’ headed to Eccles Theatre The national tour of the hit Broadway musical “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” will be in Logan for two performances Saturday, Jan. 31, at the Ellen Eccles Theatre.

Showtimes are at 2 and 7:30 p.m.

Tickets start at $39 and are available at cachearts.org, by calling 7520026 or by visiting the box office at 43 S. Main St. “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” is a high-energy musical combining the classic, physical dancing styles with fun and energetic situations.

Not only do the brothers have to dance eloquently at times with their

brides, complete with eye-catching lifts and tosses, they also have fun and unique numbers that you would only see in “Seven Brides.”

One situation includes a complicated and physical dance with axes and another with blankets as Milly gets them to take a bath.

Finding a wife in the 1850s wasn’t easy for men living in the mountains of the Oregon Territory, especially when there are seven brothers in one family. That’s how our story begins in “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.” Adam, the oldest of the seven, sets out for town to bring back a wife to take

care of the cooking, cleaning and mending. In town, he meets Milly, the server and cook at the local café. He knows that it’s sudden, but asks her to marry him. Milly is up for an adventure and says yes because she’s tired of being the cook for all the men in town and can’t wait to take care of just one man. But he “forgot” to mention those other six brothers waiting back at home. After her discovery, she sets out to make the others the most eligible bachelors around.

This year’s fundraising event will include a workshop for children, youth and adults from 1 to 4 p.m., a silent auction from 4 to 7 p.m. and the Master Jump Rope Exhibition at 7 p.m.

Cost for the workshop is $20 per jumper (includes two tickets to the show), and $5 per person or $20 per family for the exhibition.

Adam Miller returning to Why Sound Australian finger-style guitarist Adam Miller will return to Why Sound with a performance at 8 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 31, at 30 Federal Ave. Tickets are $10 at the door. Visit whysound.com and adammiller.com.au for more information.

The excitement surrounding Miller is palpable. This talented musician’s intricate fingerwork creates complex rhythms of funky acoustic bliss. His ability to make one guitar sound like a full arrangement is truly astounding, but his clear technical ability never overshadows the artistic appeal of his music.

This talent has propelled him into the international spotlight where Miller has been the featured artist both in Australian-based and internationally circulating magazines. He will be traveling the U.S. this month, performing in California, Salt Lake City, and — for one night only — in Logan.

During his 2014 appearance at Why Sound, the audience was electrified as Miller pulled on his vast, genrecrossing background to weave together a show that continues to be a topic of conversation.

LYS takes on ‘Measure’

Winter production begins tonight at Bullen Center Logan Youth Shakespeare’s winter production of “Measure for Measure” will continue through Saturday at the Bullen Center, 43 S. Main St. There will be three casts and a total of six performances at 7 p.m.

Jan. 23, 24, 26, 28 and 30, and 2 p.m. Jan. 31. Tickets are $6 adults, $3 for kids and are available at the door or at cachearts.org.

When Duke Vincentio puts the pious Angelo in charge of his beloved but sleazy Vienna, it appears that the severe deputy will whip everyone into shape, literally. Angelo sentences Claudio to death for fornication (his common-law wife is pregnant), so Claudio’s sister, Isabella, leaves the convent to plead for her brother’s life. Angelo is immediately smitten with the virtuous and well-spoken Isabella, setting off a series of audacious, unsettling events that test the will of even the strongest characters and expose a tangled web of meddling and deceit.

Hectic Hobo at the SNC

Hectic Hobo will perform from 8 to 11 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 31, as part of the Canyon Jams series at the Stokes Nature Center in Logan Canyon. Tickets are $8.

Among seven people, there are even more instruments, including an accordion, banjo, piano and harmonica.

ReverbNature ranks Hectic Hobo as “the #1 folk band in their state, a blend of old-time porch songs into a swirling cyclone of modern rock.” Originally from Salt Lake City, they travel all of the West to tour and they’re happy to play in Logan, where some of their band members graduated from Utah State.

Chocolate Festival coming up COMING UP

“Black or White” may be the title, but there are plenty of gray areas tackled in this good ol’ fashioned family dramedy from standup comic turned filmmaker Mike Binder (“Reign Over Me,” ‘’The Upside of Anger”).

Pitting a binge drinking Kevin Costner against a butt whooping Octavia Spencer in a battle for custody over their beloved granddaughter, this well-performed and occasionally amusing affair has a distinctively ‘90s feel to it, laying on the sauce rather thick at times,

although it still creates a believable story raising questions about parenthood and racial prejudice in modern-day Los Angeles.

A somewhat clumsy opening scene introduces us to California attorney Elliot Anderson (Costner), whose wife has just died in a car accident, leaving the man with little consolation outside a home bar fully stocked with Scotch. But he does have one remaining hope in life: his mixed-race 7-year-old granddaughter, Eloise (newcomer Jillian Estell), who’s been living with him ever since the girl’s mother died at

Duvan (Mpho Koaho), to serve as right-hand man and provide some necessary comic relief to the household. Yet just when things are picking up, he’s paid a visit by Eloise’s paternal grandmother, Rowena (Spencer), a loving but iron-fisted matriarch whose boggle-eyed glare is enough to push back an army, and who soon takes it upon herself to AP Photo/Relativity Media demand custody of her Jillian Estell, left, and Kevin Costner share a scene in granddaughter through Relativity Media’s “Black or White.” the help of hotshot nephew lawyer, Jeremiah childbirth and her drug as he slowly drinks him- (Anthony Mackie). addicted father, Reggie self into oblivion, Elliot “Inspired by a true (Andre Holland), landed manages to keep things incident” per the opening in jail. afloat for the time being, credits, the screenplay Trying to cope with especially after hiring an by Binder paints a broad his granddaddy duties overqualified math tutor, but credible portrait of crumbbrothers.com Follow us!

a fractured family living on opposite sides of L.A.’s racial barrier, with Elliot carousing around his massive suburban mansion while Rowena shelters relatives in a Compton abode across the street from a crack den. Yet neither household is shown to be a total movie cliche, and the script intelligently navigates both domains to reveal how they have more in common than they may imagine, especially when it concerns the best interests of their granddaughter.

What have we done to deserve another foundfootage movie? The tired hand-held technique that seemed so fresh in 1999 with “The Blair Witch Project” long ago wore out its welcome.

The only thing noteworthy about its use in “Project Almanac,” which follows a group of high school misfits who invent a time travel apparatus, is that this particular found footage film isn’t really a horror film, but a sci-fi thriller.

Used as a means to gain an entry into the lives of these kids, it makes what could have been a fresh send up of genre conventions seem as cheap and forgettable as all the rest.

In the film, David (Jonny Weston), a handsome social outcast and brilliant science mind, finds out that he’s been accepted into MIT but with a scholarship that just isn’t enough. While digging around in old projects done by his late father (an inventor of sorts) to try to find anything of value, he and his little sister stumble across an old video recorder of David’s 7th birthday party, where they notice a shadowy figure in the mirror in one of the shots: a 17-year-old David.

While trying to figure out the mystery of how this could be possible, David and his friends uncover blueprints for a time travel machine and immediately get to work building it, testing it, and, eventually, using it.

In a somewhat amusing wink to the audience, the characters keep restating that they have to film

ally as joyous to watch as it presumably is to be there.

Things take a dark turn in the film when David gets greedy and jumps back in time alone to try to re-do a botched moment with his crush (Sofia Black-D’Elia) and bad things start happening in the future, but interest wanes as the stakes get higher.

Director Dean Israelite in his feature debut proves that he has a keen knack for conveying teen pluck, friendships and flirtations.

detect lies and knowledge of the folkways of the ghetto serve him well as he works to nab the killer of Bryant Tennelle.

The way solid police work cracks a case that at first seemed insolvable reads like a thrilling police procedural set in a neighborhood fraught with danger. The most gripping episodes come as Skaggs manages to persuade the girlfriend of one of the killers to testify against him and then keeps her safe and sober in the face of death threats.

An award-winning reporter and editor with the Los Angeles Times, Leovy in 2007 created an innovative blog that covered all of the city’s 845 murders that year. Most

‘Sniper’ dominates the box office LOS ANGELES (AP) — “American Sniper” hit the mark with moviegoers again.

The military drama starring Bradley Cooper as Navy SEAL marksman Chris Kyle topped the box office for a second weekend in a row with $64.4 million in first place, according to studio estimates Sunday.

“American Sniper” is up for six Academy Awards, including best picture and best actor for Cooper. The total haul for the Warner Bros. film now stands at $200.1 million. “American Sniper” also earned an additional $17.6 million in 16 international territories, including Australia, Sweden, Norway and Denmark.

“We’ve never quite seen anything like this at this time of year,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at boxoffice tracker Rentrak. “’American Sniper’ is helping to propel

the box office, which is already 9.3 percent ahead of the same time last year.”

The film, directed by Clint Eastwood, already broke boxoffice records when it expanded to wide release last weekend, easily surpassing “Avatar” to become the biggest January opening for a movie and immediately becoming the top grosser among best-picture Oscar nominees.

In a distant second place, the saucy Universal thriller “The Boy Next Door” featuring Jennifer Lopez as a teacher who engages in an affair with a younger man played by Ryan Guzman, debuted with $15 million.

The weekend’s other major new releases weren’t even in the neighborhood of “The Boy Next Door.”

The animated fantasy “Strange Magic” from Luscasfilm and Disney flopped in seventh

place with $5.5 million.

Lionsgate’s Johnny Depp dud “Mortdecai” tanked in ninth place with $4.1 million. The eccentric heist comedy, which also stars Gwyneth Paltrow, marks another box-office bomb for Depp, following the leading man’s disappointing “Transcendence,” ‘’The Lone Ranger,” ‘’Dark Shadows” and “The Rum Diary.”

“I think he chooses projects that appeal to him,” Dergarabedian said. “I’ve always appreciated Johnny Depp for marching to the beat of his own drum, but he still needs to get audiences in the door. Sometimes, if you go too far afield, that’s reflected in the numbers.”

Overseas, “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” dominated the international box office with $54.2 million.

The final installment of the Middle-earth saga debuted in China with $49.5 million.

Film Continued from Page 6 her legal pursuits just as Reggie pops back into the picture, the race question is eventually brought into play and even becomes a major factor in the ensuing trial. Various plot mechanics, some of them rather heavy-handed, lead to a resolution that predictably shows how little race ultimately matters, although “Black or White” never panders too easily to sentiments, creating characters who are riddled with flaws but likeable all the same.

Such is the case with Elliot, and as both producer and star this is clearly Costner’s film for the taking. It’s a pleasure to see the seasoned actor approaching this kind of role after a recent run of genre-related material (“Man

The rest of the cast is excellent, starting with Spencer and her guns-a-blazing portrayal of Rowena, and moving down to the terrific young Koaho, who sparks the most laughs with his depiction of an African immigrant who’s the smartest guy in the room and not afraid to say it. ­——— “Black or White,” a Relativity Media release, is rated PG-13 for “for brief strong language, thematic material involving drug use and drinking, and for a fight.” Running time: 121 minutes.

Nah, too easy. The Shark Fin of Meru, in the Himalayas, is one of the world’s toughest climbs.

I’m no climbing expert, but the movie does a great job explaining why the climb is so tough it’s never been done.

It requires an amazing amount of technical skill, switching between different climbing techniques and methods over what can end up being a twoweek period depending on the weather. There’s a reason why this peak has never been summited, but that’s the draw.

To be the first to summit the mountain means immortality.

Summerfest seeking applications for 2015 Logan’s Summerfest Arts Faire is now accepting applications from visual artists, performers, and food vendors for its 2015 festival, which will take place June 18 to 20. The deadline for applications is Feb. 21.

Each year on Father’s Day weekend, Summerfest Arts Faire brings together 150 artists and performers on Tabernacle Square in its free-to-the-public event.

In addition, food vendors from around the region provide a variety of cuisines for hungry visitors.

Performers and food vendors wishing to participate can apply at Summerfest’s website at logansummerfest.com.

The risks are great, but the rewards, for hardcore climbers, outweigh the risk.

Expert climbers Jimmy Chin (who also directs the documentary), Conrad Anker and Renan Ozturk attempt to be the first climbers to summit Meru. The movie opens on their first attempt, which is hampered by terrible snow storms that trap them inside their Portaledge tent for days.

They quickly run out of food as they sit, stuck on the mountain side, listening to the wind howl and freezing ice smash against the Portaledge canvas.

They’re so close, but so cold, so hungry, so exhausted. They have to turn back. They have no other choice.

This was in 2008. Now, a few years have gone by. The group has gone their separate ways. The trials they go through before attempting the Meru a second time would be even too unbelievable for a Hollywood movie. Seriously, so many harrowing things happen to these guys, that it perfectly sets up a situation for them all to receive redemption from the darkest

Visual artists and craftspeople may apply through Zapplication, an online arts application service at zapplication.org.

“We’ve tried to make it as easy as possible for people to apply online,” said Elaine Thatcher, Summerfest’s new executive director. “And online applications are easier for us to sort and judge. But for those who prefer paper applications, they can call us, and we’ll send them paper applications to complete and return.”

times in their lives. In all truthfulness, it’s hard not to believe that this entire movie wasn’t secretly scripted from start to finish. That it’s a documentary is astounding, since the story unfolds so perfectly.

The photography here is absolutely stunning. The snow-capped Himalayas glistening in the cold sun. The steep, never-ending drops off of sheer cliffs only serve to completely disorient you as the viewer. And that’s the point. As Chin shoots downward it’s impossible not to feel a little queasy. The risk these guys are taking is monumental. The way the movie builds on that suspense is masterful. This isn’t just a movie for climbers. It’s a movie for anyone who loves movies.

Don’t let the “documentary” moniker fool you. This is a red-blooded action movie.

There are so many memorable moments here, that I hesitate in sharing, because watching the story unfold is most of the fun. It’s exciting, terrifying and a tribute to the amazing feats of will that humans are known for.

Book Continued from Page 10 explores the reasons for the homicide epidemic and looks at ways it can be addressed. In recent years the city’s murder rate has gone down dramatically as a result of factors that include migration of many black residents to the exurbs and the high number of black men in prison.

But the best means of dealing with the still disproportionately high number of black-on-black murders would be to have all detectives approach such cases with Skaggs’ vigor and determination in arresting and helping to convict the two who killed Tennelle. As the defense lawyer for one of the killers observed, “If all these cases were investigated like Tennelle, there’d be no unsolved cases.”

Now, with relations between police and the black community perhaps more strained than ever, this timely book could not be more important.
