FROM THE EDITOR While considering what to write about in this space this week, I thought about commenting on the recent Academy Awards. But since I saw all but eight of the films nominated for Best Picture — yes, I know there were only eight — I just didn’t feel worthy of writing anything other than snarky comments, such as comparing John Travolta to “Super Creepy Rob Lowe” of DirectTV fame.

So, I asked Cache movie critic Aaron Peck to share a few of his thoughts on this year’s Oscars that weren’t related to Vinnie Barbarino’s apparent fascination with Idina Menzel’s bone structure.

Here’s Aaron’s picks: The Oscars came and went while I was curled up on my couch finishing up Michel Faber’s novel “The Book of Strange New Things.” It’s apropos because my favorite film of last year, “Under the Skin,” was based on a novel

penned by Faber, and it didn’t even get nominated. Such is the world of the Academy Awards. One person’s triumph is another person’s heresy.

With that confession on the table, here are some Oscar-related thoughts a few days removed of the festivities.

Best Actor – This category was never close. It was always between Keaton and Redmayne. I won’t purport to know the inner workings of the Academy, but Redmayne’s performance as Stephen Hawking deserved to win.

Best Actress – Julianne Moore isn’t even the best actress in her own movie.

Sure, she does the most acting, but Kristen Stewart’s supporting role in “Still Alice” is criminally overlooked.

A deranged Rosamund Pike in “Gone Girl” would’ve been my pick.

Best Supporting Actor – This was always going to J.K. Simmons. A forgone conclusion if there ever was one.

Simmons growling, “Not my tempo,” is the scariest moment in all of 2014 cinema. The real question in this category is why was Duvall nominated for the laughably bad “The Judge”?

Best Supporting Actress – I’m not a

big “Birdman” fan, but I thought Emma Stone should’ve won. I’m even less of a “Boyhood” fan, so Patricia Arquette’s win held no personal significance at all.

Also, take the above statement about Duvall, but insert Meryl Streep and “Into the Woods.”

Best Animated Feature – Well, um, “The Lego Movie” wasn’t even nominated, so this category was dead to me this year. You hear me Academy?

Best Picture – In my perfect world, Best Picture would’ve been a three-way tie between “Selma,” “Snowpiercer,” and “Under the Skin,” with “The Lego Movie” making a concerted push, and “Noah” lingering in the shadows as a dark horse. So, hearing“Birdman” won was anti-climactic. Maybe next year the Academy will finally start listening to me.

They probably won’t, Aaron. But my kids and I definitely agree with you on “The Lego Movie” snub. And here’s to Michael Keaton getting the Oscar I assume he deserved for “Birdman” in a couple of years for “Beetlejuice 2.”

Smith back in action as a con man

– Michael W. Homer, who will speak at Utah State University on Thursday (Page 4)

By Aaron Peck Cache movie critic

There’s a certain charm about long-con movies.

The way they play out like a cat-and-mouse game where the central characters are utterly charming, disarming the viewer, all the while building up to the final reveal that better be good. You can’t build up a con man as the smartest man in the room, and then let him fall flat in the finale. So, does “Focus” have a worthwhile conclusion? Yes and no.

Nicky (Will Smith) runs a gang of high-class pickpockets who work big events like Super Bowls and such. They’re a welloiled machine of debonair thieves. They’re shown carousing with a boisterous crowd on Bourbon Street, lifting wallets, watches and wedding rings. As Nicky preaches, they work in volume. Less chance of getting caught. All those wallets and stolen credit card numbers add up over the long haul.

When Nicky meets Jess (Margot Robbie) for the first time, she’s an awkward con woman in need of some pointers. He adopts her into his crew and teaches her the ropes.

She asks, “Well what about the long con?” referring to the small-time stuff Nicky’s crew is pulling

Will Smith and Margot Robbie share a scene in “Focus.”

off. Nicky retorts, “Oh, you mean that huge score that makes us so much money we retire? Fantasy.” Beware of a movie that claims superiority in its chosen genre, chances are it’s not.

“Focus” certainly sets a decidedly too-cool-for-you mood. Everyone’s walking around in $5,000 suits, drinking expensive champagne, attending impossible parties and carrying around sacks of

cash for no apparent reason.

Although, if I actually had enough cash that wrapping them in those spiffy bands was required, then I’d probably carry around bags of the stuff too, just for fun. Even the soundtrack, a mix of jazz, hip-hop, and techno, gives it an ethereal unattainable quality. It’s an enticing lifestyle.

Nicky, however, has a dark side, which is only half explored in the movie.

He’s seen at the race track, alone, away from his team, crumpling up a losing ticket and looking on with disgust.

This is an efficient way to tell us Nicky has a gambling problem. The payoff for this comes early on in the movie when Nicky’s gambling habits get the best of him as he gets caught up in a highstakes bet-off with another high roller.

The way the movie shows how easily a seemingly harmless game of chance can escalate one hundred fold, with more and more on the line, is enthralling. Egos driven by greed, or maybe it’s the other way around.

Whatever it is, that sequence See FOCUS on Page 13

Pet: Minerva From: Four Paws Rescue Why she’s so lovable: My name

is Minerva, and I am a shy little girl. I love to play with string and toy mice, and I am quite good at it. I love my fellow kittens and am quite interested in big kitties. I have no experience with dogs, but I love cuddling with people. I have heard that some kitties have forever homes, and I would love one of my own where I could play and cuddle (indoor only).

The adoption fee is $60, which includes the spay/neuter surgery and vaccinations. Please be patient with us getting back to you as we are all volunteers with full-time jobs and/or families. Thank you for your interest in this wonderful cat.

Spring lecture coming up at USU library

Friends of Merrill-Cazier Library, a support group for University Libraries at Utah State University, presents a spring lecture Thursday, March 5, featuring guest speaker Michael W. Homer, an attorney practicing law in Salt Lake City, Utah. He is also an author who has written about Mormonism.

The title of Homer’s lecture is “‘The Greatest Man Who Never Lived’: Sherlock Holmes and the Utah Connection” and begins at 7 p.m. in Merrill-Cazier Library, Room 101.

“Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous creation — who is much more famous than his creator — is Sherlock Holmes,” Homer said.

Sherlock, now known as “the greatest man who never lived and will never die,” first appeared in “A Study in Scarlet” in 1887 and, according to Homer, the story was more about Mormonism than Sherlock and was really a classic “shilling shocker.”

“It is doubtful that Doyle would have written another story about Sherlock if Lippincott’s editor had not lunched with

Despite huge falloff, ‘Fifty Shades’ still No. 1 last weekend, so this was its destiny after it broke the box-office record for the biggest opening in February and didn’t have the added bonus of a holiday weekend,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box office firm Rentrak.

The action spy film “Kingsman: The Secret Service” and the family friendly “The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water” similarly maintained their respective No. 2 and No. 3 spots at the box office in their second and third weekends.

Fox’s “Kingsman” nabbed $17.5 million, while Paramount’s “SpongeBob” soaked up another $15.5 million.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Fifty Shades of Grey” didn’t relinquish control of the box office.

Universal’s erotic drama starring Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan earned $23.2 million at No. 1 in its second weekend at the box office, according to studio estimates Sunday. The adaptation of E.L. James’ best-selling novel earned an additional $68.1 million overseas.

Despite the victory, director Sam Taylor-Johnson’s “Fifty Shades of Grey” plummeted a steep 73 percent from its record-breaking $85 million three-day debut over President’s Day weekend.

“There was a pent-up demand and excitement for ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’

edy “The DUFF” debuted at No. 5 with $11 million. Paramount’s wacky sequel “Hot Tub Time Machine 2” opened

at No. 7 with $5.8 million.

A few Oscar contenders received a boost at the box office ahead of Sunday’s 87th annual Academy Awards.

“American Sniper,” which is up for six awards, including best picture and best actor for Bradley Cooper, racked up another $9.6 million at No. 6 in its ninth weekend of release.

“The Imitation Game,” nominated for eight Academy Awards, including best actor for Benedict Cumberbatch and best supporting actress for Keira Knightley, came in at No. 9 with $2.5 million in its 13th weekend.

“Still Alice,” which features best actress front runner Julianne Moore, earned $2.2 million after expanding to 765 theaters in its sixth weekend.

Stephen King’s “Revival” tells the disturbing story of Jamie Morton and his lifelong struggle with pastorturned-mad-scientist Charles Jacobs. Jacobs claims to have discovered a “secret electricity.” We soon learn that this electricity does something to bridge the gap between this world and the next. “The Lazarus Effect,” is basically a lazy version of King’s “Revival” with some of Luc Besson’s “Lucy” thrown in for good measure.

You’re right to be apprehensive when walking into a PG-13 horror movie which proudly displays the can’t-miss marketing message: “From the producer of ‘The Purge,’ ‘Paranormal Activity’ and ‘Insidious.’” In case you were wondering, that person is Jason Blum. As a side note, he also produced the wretched “The Boy Next Door.” Wonder why the marketing geniuses tasked with getting people to see “The Lazarus Effect” left that off his résumé?

For such a short feature film — a brisk and almost unheard of 83 minutes — “The Lazarus Effect” sure takes its sweet time getting to the point.

Walking on the Wild Side

photographer sudipta shaw keeps his eyes on the skies

H

aving a passion for nature and especially viewing wildlife has evolved into capturing glimpses of them through photos.

And some of those snapshots are definitely attention grabbing. For example, how many photographers in Cache Valley have shots of wild tigers or rhinos?

Sudipta Shaw does.

He also has an unfair advantage.

The 31-year-old was born and grew up in eastern India near Calcutta. He is currently a doctorate student at Utah State University in the chemistry and biochemistry department. He hopes to be done with my Ph.D next year.

Shaw came to Utah in 2011 to study. He has fallen in love with the area and especially making trips to Yellowstone National Park. Shaw has visited there six times.

“Yellowstone is my favorite,” Shaw said. “Yellowstone is so close.”

He caught the photography bug in 2003. Shaw came across a contest put on by the Wildlife Institute of India for college students. Someone who knew he was interested in wildlife encouraged him to enter.

“It was more of a poster presentation, but I’m terrible at drawing,” Shaw said. “So, I pulled many facts about animals and birds and pasted them, which is not how you are supposed to do a poster about wildlife.

There were no surprises when I didn’t win.”

Two photography magazines caught his attention on a trip back home from the university in India he was attending. The purchase of those

Sudipta Shaw gets ready to shoot during a visit to Benson Marina.

Story by Shawn Harrison • Portrait by Eli Lucero two magazines at a train station ended up having a huge influence on him. One of the magazines focused entirely on wildlife for that issue.

“I was lucky I picked that one,” Shaw said. “That’s how I got interested in photography.”

For the next four years he purchased several magazines on a regular basis and learned about photography. He used a analog camera to begin with.

When Shaw moved to the United States, he got a hybrid Sony camera that was digital. In 2013, he switched to a DSLR. Animals and especially birds have been his favorite subjects to photograph. He also likes landscapes.

“I have really like being in the

proximity to nature and wildlife since I was a child,” Shaw said. “It’s been long-time passion for me. ...

I’ve liked wildlife for ever.”

What does it take to get a good photo?

“In the beginning it was really difficult, especially flying birds,” Shaw said. “When I was using my analog camera, I don’t think I was able to take any good picture of a flying bird, maybe one or two. Since I’ve bought the SLR, because of the faster frame rates and the capability ... technology is the key these days in wildlife photography.”

Birds of prey are his favorite feathered subjects. Osprey, harrier, peregrine falcon and the American

kestrel are some he listed. But Shaw also enjoys other birds like the yellow warbler, which is plentiful in Cache Valley. The most rare bird was a gray catbird. He has an ap on his phone called Merlin Bird ID that helps him identify birds.

“Last summer I was able to follow a pair of ospreys for the entire summer,” Shaw said. “I have photos of the parents, the babies and I have one photo of the father carrying a trout.”

Besides making treks to Yellowstone, Shaw spends time at Benson Marina, Newton Reservoir, the Bear River Bird Migratory Refuge near Brigham City, Antelope Island and Farmington Bay. Most of those places are full of birds.

“I find bird photography is more challenging than animal photography,” Shaw said. “... It’s really difficult, especially the small birds when they are flying.”

Patience and being willing to spend time in the outdoors has paid off. He has many photos of birds in flight.

“You can’t take a picture of bird without sitting for, maybe hours,” Shaw said. “You have to be extremely lucky to take a good picture, especially with birds. Animals are larger, so you can maintain a distance and take a good picture, but with birds, there are so many small birds that if you are not close, you are not going to get a good picture. And when you get close, they are going to fly. You have to be really patient.”

It is also important to Shaw to See WILD on Page 12

Among Shaw’s favorite wildlife photos are (clockwise from above): A kingfisher in India, a northern harrier with a vole in its grasp, a tiger and two cubs with a fresh kill in India, two bull moose colliding in Yellowstone National Park and an osprey with a trout in its talons in Cache Valley.

The Utah State University Wind Orchestra and Symphonic Band, conducted by Thomas P. Rohrer and Gregory Wheeler, combine for their winter concert at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 27, at the Kent Concert Hall in the Chase Fine Arts Center.

The concert is free and open to the public.

“This annual showcase and curricular performance outlet of the USU bands demonstrates the abilities of the school’s finest wind and percussion players, from music majors to nonmajors alike,” Rohrer says. “The concert is a rare public exhibition of musical variety — from high art to toe-tapping razzle dazzle — by students from every college on campus.”

The Wind Orchestra program begins with Ron Nelson’s festive work “Savannah River Holiday,” and continues with two multi-movement pieces, “Symphony for Band” by Jerry Bilik and “Year of the Dragon” by Philip Sparke.

The Symphonic Band program features “Original Suite” by Gordon Jacob and the Percy Grainger adaptation of the British Folk song “Green Bushes.” “A Yorkshire Overture” by Philip Sparke and “See Rock City” by Brant Karrick complete the program.

Following the separate performances of each ensemble, the groups will combine for “Hounds of Spring” by Alfred Reed and “Star Wars Medley,” the theme for the evening, by John Williams.

“The headline work was arranged for concert band in 1977, the year the first movie was released, and was likely the first such authentic arrangement to be published,” said Rohrer. “After many permutations and additional films, this version remains an enduring legacy of where it all started in 1977.”

The university bands concert is free and open to the public. For more information, call 797-3004 or visit arts.usu. edu.

During the lunch he convinced Wilde to write his only novel, “The Picture of Dorian Gray,” and Doyle to write his second Sherlock Holmes story, “Sign of Four.”

During his lecture, Homer will discuss Doyle’s own motivation for writing “A Study in Scarlet,” including his brief flirtation with Mormonism, the public and LDS reaction to the story. He will also discuss Doyle’s observations about Utah and the Mormons and his 1923 visit to Salt Lake City

and his eventual comparison of Mormonism and Spiritualism — something Doyle subsequently embraced.

“I will conclude by noting that ‘A Study in Scarlet’ remains controversial even in the 21st century,” Homer said. “Some members (of the LDS faith) even petitioned their local school district to remove the book from a class curriculum, a move that led to much public commentary.”

Among Homer’s recent books is “On the Way to Somewhere Else” published by the Arthur H. Clark Company and republished by the University of Utah Press and “Joseph’s Temples: The Dynamic Relationship Between Freemasonry and Mormonism” published by the University of

Utah Press.

In addition to the Friends Lecture, the winners of the 2014 Arrington Lecture Writing Awards will be announced.

Dover Quartet to perform in Logan this week The Dover Quartet will perform at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, March 5, at the Caine Performance Hall at Utah State University.

Tickets are $24 ($10 for students) and are available at the Caine College of the Arts box office, by calling 797-8022 or online at arts.usu.edu.

For further information, visit cmslogan.org The Dover Quartet is comprised of four young musicians whose reputation now far outstrips their age. Joel Link, violin; Bryan Lee, violin; Milena Pajaro-van de Stadt, viola; and Camden Shaw, cello.

Their combined ages add up to a little more than 100, but the New Yorker calls them “the young American string quartet of the moment.”

During the 2014-15 season, the Dover Quartet is performing more than 100 concerts throughout the United States, Canada, South America and Europe. Highlights include

Wild Continued from Page 8 not disturb the subjects he is shooting or the habitat.

Does he have a favorite animal or bird?

“Bird, I would say osprey and northern harrier,” Shaw replied.

“Animals, tigers.”

While he has shot lots of tigers in national parks in India — including eight tigers in four days on his last trip back home — his quest in the U.S. is to get a photo of a wolf. He has seen wolves three times in Yellowstone, but at a far distance.

“I don’t need to get close to a wolf, but would like to get a decent photo,” Shaw said. “All I have are

concerts for the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C, Schneider Concerts in New York City, and the Wigmore Hall in London.

The Strad simply reports of a recent concert, “The Dover Quartet was sublime.”

Prize-winners both individually and and as an ensemble, the Dover Quartet catapulted to international stardom following a sweep of the 2013 Banff International String Quartet Competition. They won not only the grand prize but all three special prizes, becoming one of the most in-demand ensembles in the world.

The quartet also won top prizes at the Fischoff Competition and the Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition and has taken part in festivals such as Chamber Music Northwest, Artosphere, La Jolla SummerFest, Bravo! Vail, and the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival. The Strad said that the quartet is “already pulling away from

wolf dots.”

He does have a 150600mm lens, but still wolves have been too far away.

National parks in India are different than in the U.S. Shaw explained how private vehicles are not allowed. Visitors must use vehicles provided by the park, which are open air and don’t give the occupants much protection.

“I took some friends who had never seen wild tigers,” Shaw said.

“When they saw their first tiger, they were both excited and scared at the same time. The tigress was about 20 feet away from the vehicle.”

Shaw chuckled while telling the story. He also had a close call with a domesticated elephant that was crossing a bridge where he was tak-

their peers with their exceptional interpretive maturity, tonal refinement and taut ensemble.”

At the Caine Performance Hall concert, the Dover Quartet will play Mozart’s Quartet in D Major, K. 499, “Hoffmeister” and Quartet No. 7, Op. 108, by Shostakovich. The second half

of the program is Beethoven’s Quartet in C Major, Op. 59, No. 3.

The quartet’s distinctive sound serves this music well. In spite of using strings made of modern materials, the group’s sound emphasizes ”nuance …color … and humanity,” over hard bril-

liance, Shaw says.

In a July 2014 article, the Wall Street Journal noted “The quartet’s songlike phrasing evokes the interpretive style of an earlier era.”

The quartet members formed their ensemble after studying together at the Curtis Institute of Music and Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music, where they were in residence 2011-13. The Dover became the first-ever Curtis Institute quartet-in-residence from 2013-14.

The quartet is dedicated to sharing their music and is participating in the Cache County and Logan City High School Chamber Music Project. The quartet will perform at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 3, in the Kent Concert Hall on the USU campus with an orchestra made up of the combined Sky View and Mountain Crest high school orchestras, the Mountain West String Academy orchestra and three high school chamber ensembles.

ing some photographs.

He lost track of how close it was getting.

“When I saw the trunk moving right in front of my face, I got really scared,” Shaw said.

“That was a domesticated elephant, but still, an elephant is an elephant.

That was not a close call with a wild animal, but a big animal.”

As his photography skills have improved, his luck at photo contests back home in India have not. However, Shaw did win an award for a photograph of a bison in Yellowstone two years ago in The Herald Journal’s annual Great Outdoors Photo Contest.

Yorgason is a professional bass player in Utah and has performed with a number of noted artists, while Taylor is a part-time drummer, working at a local environmental consulting company.

The matinee concert at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 28, will highlight awardwinning singer/songwriter Mary Kaye, along with poet Jo Lynne Kirkwood and sibling trio Dyer Highway. The Saturday night family dance will begin at 7:30 p.m. and feature the music of Rogerson and the Ryegrass Riders.

“A Better World”

By William Humphrey The world is what it is, Because of you.

So think what is good, And do what is right.

They’re fine together, if not a little too melodramatic for the wares they’re trafficking. Robbie’s role is dramatically diminished. While she seems integral to the story, her personal agency is rather thin. She seems to be served up as lovelorn eye candy, which is a shame. An object for men to save, rather than a person providing their own salvation.

What really hampers an otherwise agreeable long-con tale, is how soggy the middle happens to

be. The movie is bookended by some clever reveals, and con-men hijinks, but the interior of the story is mushy at best. It’s just sort of there, rambling on. Losing — dare I say? — focus.

“Focus” has its moments. Honestly, there’s some clever stuff in here. At least it’s not about throwing together a team of specialized individuals attempting to do one last job. However, it isn’t that much different from other movies about charismatic con men to be considered much more than ordinary.
