FROM THE EDITOR For much of my senior year in high school, the boys in my class did not exactly talk normal.

We talked in “Caddyshack” with a Bushwood Country Club accent.

We had a lot of golfers in our graduating class, and some of us, like myself, also worked at golf courses. So, it was kind of a natural fit that we would go around constantly quoting the comedy classic, even though it had been released about six or seven years earlier.

Granted, it sometimes got out of hand.

At one point, whoever was in charge of the message board out front actually put up: “Gunga galunga gunga.” A phrase which surely confused many passing motorists — as well as anyone reading this column who has never seen “Caddyshack.”

Things got so bad that I may or may not have actually lost a girlfriend

because she got so annoyed with me constantly trying to talk like Bill Murray’s character, Carl Spackler — which, it should be pointed out, takes quite a commitment because it leads to some very exhausted facial muscles.

For this I blame — and thank — Harold Ramis.

While he’s probably best known for playing the role of the world’s coolest nerd, Egon Spengler, in the “Ghostbusters” movies, Ramis was also a prolific writer and director who had his hand in creating such films as “Animal House,” “National Lampoon’s Vacation,” “Meatballs,” “Analyze This,” “Groundhog Day,” and, of course, “Caddyshack.”

Ramis, who passed away on Monday at the age of 69, was just too funny for this world.

Sure, much of his humor may only truly be celebrated by immature teenage boys and drunken college guys, but surely there’s something to be said for penning some of the most quotable movie quotes in history.

Just a couple of weeks ago, while picking up my daughter from school I noticed another girl wearing a bedsheet.

How could I not blurt out, “Toga! Toga!” even if no one else was anyway near old enough to get the reference.

There’s still a part of me that would rather be able to quote “Caddyshack” verbatim than break 80. I have Roy Walley to thank for letting me know that “They don’t close Florida.” And my daugther often cautions me when in the car: “Don’t drive angry.”

But I have to admit, President Obama actually said it best after hearing of Ramis’ death: “Our thoughts and prayers are with Harold’s wife, Erica, his children and grandchildren, and all those who loved him, who quote his work with abandon, and who hope that he received total consciousness.”

If you speak Harold Ramis’ language — or are the Dalai Lama himself — you know exactly how sweet of a sentiment that is.

Gearing up for the Oscars

Awards show will be filled with music, heroes, Ellen

LOS ANGELES (AP) — With less than a week to go before the Academy Awards, the Dolby Theatre in the heart of Hollywood is on lockdown. Guards stand at every door, and handlers with walkietalkies keep a close eye on any visitors.

Neil Meron, who is producing the Oscar show for the second time with partner Craig Zadan, hopes a careful blend of secrecy and teasing — topped with some of the tightest races in recent Oscar memory — makes the 86th Academy Awards a lure that viewers can’t resist.

“The Oscars is like sports,” he said, sitting in host Ellen DeGeneres’ empty dressing room, a Starbucks cup in hand. “It is sports to lots and lots of people, because you don’t know who’s going to win.

You have rooting interest.

And then we have halftime entertainment throughout.”

Some of that entertainment has been announced, and some only hinted at.

DeGeneres is returning as host after making her Oscar debut in 2007 and she’s had a close hand in the writing process, Meron said.

“Like us coming back for the second time, she comes back also with confidence in knowing what the job entails,” he said. “And she

“I wanted to write a record and release an album that gave people permission to have ‘messy’ in their lives.”

will be a host in the best sense of the word, in terms of being very present for the entire show.”

U2, Pharrell Williams, Karen O and Idina Menzel are slated to perform the nominated original songs.

Bette Midler and Pink are also set to perform, though producers haven’t said exactly what.

“That’s part of the tease,” Meron said. “Why give it away? We want people to see what (they’re) going to do.”

He and Zadan were both lauded and lambasted for their first Oscar show in 2013. The ratings jumped by more than a million viewers from the previous year, many in the coveted 18-to-

49 demographic, but some found host Seth MacFarlane’s “We Saw Your Boobs” shtick sexist and distasteful.

“We examined everything that we did last year, which was a very big show that we were very proud of,” Meron said. “I think this year we are less daunted by the size See OSCARS on Page 12

ALL MIXED UP

Quotable

Page 4 - The Herald Journal, Logan, Utah, Friday, February 28, 2014

all mixed up Bogguss headlines Cowboy Rendezvous

By Jeff Hunter Cache Magazine editor

The driving force behind the Cache Valley Cowboy Rendezvous, Dale Major wants to make — what else? — a major announcement leading up to next week’s event.

“It’s free,” Major declares.

“That’s probably the biggest thing.”

During the first three years of the annual gathering of cowboy poets and Western musicians and artisans in Hyrum, you had to purchase a ticket just to get in the door at Mountain Crest

High School. But this year, while you’ll still have to buy tickets to the showcase concerts and the family dance, there will be no charge for admission, allowing attendees to roam the halls and take in a large variety of events and wares free of charge.

“We received some RAPZ funds, so everything is now free except for the Suzy Bogguss and Dave Stamey concerts and the Cowboy Family Dance Saturday night, but that’s only $5 per couple, so it’s almost free,” Major says with a chuckle.

“Hopefully some of the folks

who have kind of been on the fence about attending because of the entrance fee will now come out. I think if they do, they’ll find it very enjoyable and want to come back.”

The 2014 Cache Valley Cowboy Rendezvous will be held today and Saturday at Mountain Crest High School, 255 S. 800 East in Hyrum. The popular Cowboy Church will also be held at 9 a.m. Sunday at the American West Heritage Center at 4025 S. U.S. Hwy 89-91 in Wellsville.

The Jets and the Sharks ‘West Side Story’ headed for Eccles Theatre stage The tour of the smash-hit Broadway revival of “West Side Story” is coming to the Ellen Eccles Theatre in downtown Logan for one night only, beginning at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, March 5.

Tony Award-winning librettist Arthur Laurents’ Broadway direction is recreated for the tour by David Saint, the associate director on Broadway. The original Jerome Robbins choreography is reproduced by Tony Award-nominee Joey McKneely (“The Boy from Oz,” “The Life”).

Tickets are $30 to $44 and are available online at www.cachearts.org, by calling 752-0026 or by visiting the Ellen Eccles Theatre box office at 43 S. Main St. “West Side Story” tells the story of star-crossed lovers Tony and Maria as they struggle to rise above the hatred and intolerance that surrounds them. “West Side Story” soars as the greatest love story of all time and remains as powerful, poignant and timely as ever. The Bernstein and Sondheim score is considered to be one of Broadway’s finest and features such classics of the American musical theater as “Something’s Coming,” See JETS on Page 12

Taken in and raised by a tribe of gorillas, the young boy strives for acceptance by his ape father while grappling with his uniqueness. When a human expedition enters their territory, Tarzan — now a man — encounters strangers like himself for the first time.

“Tarzan: The Musical” showcases music and lyrics by pop icon Phil Collins, including the Grammy- and Oscar-winning song, “You’ll Be in My Heart”, and book by Tony Award-winning playwright, David Henry Hwang.

Directed by Laura Lee Hull, “Tarzan: The Musical” features Matt Jeppesen (Tarzan), Devery Jeppesen (Jane), Marvin Hull (Kerchak), Cece Craner (Kala), Mary Gardner (Terk), Jane Greene (Prof. Porter), Bobby Gardner (Clayton) and Penny Karren (narrator).

UP ‘Tarzan’ heads to Old Barn COMING Logan Film Festival moved

The Bridger Folk Music Society presents Celtic Night 2014, a benefit concert for Cache Humane Society and Four Paws Rescue at the Ellen Eccles Theatre.

Inishfre Irish Dance has performed in Utah, Idaho and Wyoming since 2005.

The group has 15 dancers ranging in age from 16 to 50 with diverse dancing experi-

ence, but all sharing a passion for Irish dance and the music that inspires it.

Leaping Lulu is a local neo-traditional Celtic folk band. In addition to their solo concerts and collaborations with Inishfre Irish Dance, Leaping Lulu is highly regarded for their Contra dance music.

Tickets for Celtic Night 2014 are available at the Ellen Eccles Theatre box office, 43 S. Main St., by calling 752-0026 or online at www.cachearts.org.

of the newcomers to displace ‘Lego,’” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak.

“They had such a great release date that put them in this perfect position to dominate the marketplace for several weeks.

For ‘Lego’ to earn $31 million in its third weekend, that would be impressive in its first weekend for any film in the first quarter.”

Relativity Media’s crime drama “3 Days to Kill,” starring Kevin Costner and Amber Heard, came in second with $12.3 million in its first weekend at the multiplex.

“Pompeii,” Sony’s boiling gladiator drama starring “Game of Thrones” star Kit Harington, took third place with $10 million. There was a fairly even gender split for the Constantin-financed film, with the

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Action-packed new releases couldn’t stack up to 3-D hit “The Lego Movie,” which took the No. 1 slot in its third weekend at the box office.

The Warner Bros. animated film bested Relativity Media’s “3 Days to Kill” and Sony’s “Pompeii” on their opening weekends.

“The Lego Movie,” featuring the voices of Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks and Morgan Freeman, earned $31.5 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. The domestic total has passed $183 million. Overseas, it grossed $23.1 million this weekend.

Heading into full-fledged franchise territory with a sequel set to release in May 2017, “The Lego Movie” is the highest-grossing film of 2014.

“It’s been really tough for any

audience breaking down as 52 percent male and 48 percent female. The film’s slot in the top five was steered mostly by viewers under 30.

“Pompeii got savaged by critics,” Dergarabedian said. “’3 Days to Kill’ wasn’t loved by critics either, so you had two films that didn’t have a shot at taking ‘Lego’ out. But these movies did about what we would expect.”

The box office results for “Pompeii” were much better overseas, as the film made $22.8 million internationally.

In its second weekend, the Sony and MGM reboot “RoboCop” dropped from third to fourth with $9.4 million.

Sony’s “The Monuments Men,” directed by George Clooney, was pushed down to fifth place from last week’s fourth-place spot with $8.1 million.

“Non-Stop” is a typical locked-room thriller.

One that confines Liam Neeson to the cabin of a transatlantic plane flight, so you can pretty much forget any elaborately planned action set pieces.

So, instead of playing to Neeson’s strengths as a grizzled action star, the movie becomes complacent by having Neeson march around the plane’s cabin, yelling at people and texting a would-be terrorist who’s going to kill one passenger every 20 minutes.

Neeson plays Bill Marks, an alcoholic Federal Air Marshal with a penchant for paranoia.

You know, the perfect guy you want protecting a plane full of civilians.

‘Non-Stop’ never really gets started

The musical gifts

s of Wendy Colonna B Austin-based singer-songwriter Wendy Colonna performs at Why Sound on Monday night.

orn in Louisiana, Wendy Colonna’s Southern upbringing is infused into all of her music. Both soulful and country, Colonna herself describes her music as acoustic Southern soul.

Colonna played an acoustic set of her music Monday night at Why Sound to a modest crowd. She is currently touring the country promoting her latest album “Nectar.”

Growing up, Colonna participated in choir groups and took piano lessons while also writing poetry.

“At a certain point, after I had gotten a guitar, I realized, ‘Oh, I write poetry, and I play music and I sing, so why not start writing songs?’ It was a no-brainer,” Colonna said. “I started writing songs in high school. I started performing.”

She said she enjoys playing music because of the emotional impact it can have on a diverse group of people.

“I thought that was a really beautiful thing, how I could pull on emotions from people who were very, very different, but they could rally around a shared experience of music. And I felt like that was so beautiful,” Colonna said. “I could build a community and keep us connected to each other where we might otherwise not be.”

In addition to her show, Colonna taught a songwriting class on Tuesday at the Dansante Building. Colonna, who is now based out of Austin, Texas, said the whole purpose of the class was to share the elements that go into songwriting and how to create a narrative, not just with words but with melody, as well.

“Working them together and understanding how music can hit different places in the listener’s body. It can be really cerebral, or it can really make you dance like Elvis Presley style. We’re going to go through what does that look like, how does that feel like, how do you create that,” Colonna said. “One of the things that is really fun about it is everyone is a different kind of creative. It’s incredibly fun to see what works for different people. A lot of people take themselves very seriously, and it stifles their creativity. A wonderful thing of doing these creative writing workshops is getting to shake that up a little bit.”

“Nectar,” which was released in September 2013, is Colonna’s seventh album. She describes it as something different because of the events that preceded it.

“I have been touring and touring is often really hard on the body. I got sick and I couldn’t get better because my immune system was constantly being challenged, and what was basically a cold lasted eight months. It went into my lungs and that was really scary. I didn’t know if I was going to tour or make records anymore,” Colonna said. “I think on the other side of that, after I got better, I took a break from the road for a while and these songs started to come, I felt like they were really good.”

Still playing off of her Southern upbringing, “Nectar” provides what Colonna calls permission to be messy.

“I wanted to write a record and release an album that gave people permission to have ‘messy’ in their lives,” Colonna said.

“They were a little bit more vulnerable, a little bit more candid, a little bit more of addressing difficult subjects, like reconciliation and forgiveness, even in hard situations.”

Bison featured in exhibit

For 500,000 years until the early 1860s, 50 million bison roamed the plains of North America. By 1890, there were fewer than 300. An exhibit that explores the “before” and “after” of the bison’s dramatic decline is currently on display at the Brigham City Museum of Art and History and will continue through March 15.

Admission is free.

The exhibit dramatizes the emergence of the bison as an “American icon” with kiosks, banners, photographs, sculpture and such objects as a bison skull, a contemporary painted bison hide and

and co-curated by Anne Morand and Dr. Lynn Spriggs. Morand, who died in July 2013, said, “Bison represent universal ideas of an American wild West; they remind us how the transformation of the West brought lasting environmental and social changes. Their tragic demise and near extinction bring a realization that nature has its limits.”

Books ‘Influx’ is a very thought-provoking novel Suarez delivers with latest book

By Jeff Ayers Associated Press

Imagine a world where scientific breakthroughs are kept under lock and key. This is the terrifying scenario in Daniel Suarez’s innovative and thought-provoking new novel, “Influx.”

Physicist Jon Grady and his team create a device that can reflect gravity. This device could greatly benefit transportation, space and the construction industry.

Grady hopes to win the Nobel Prize, but his lab is locked down and his data is destroyed by an organization

called the Bureau of Technology Control.

Grady receives an offer to work with the bureau to fur-

ther his research — but not for mankind’s benefit. When he refuses, he is transferred to a high-tech prison. His cell and everything inside are designed to break him down until he reveals how he developed his device and becomes subservient to the bureau. Grady must figure out how to escape an escape-proof prison — and defeat a group of highly advanced people with technology that’s decades beyond what is imaginable.

Suarez raises a very intriguing question: What if science has advanced beyond what we know and that knowledge has been hidden from the public?

“Influx” is a terrific reading experience, and an intriguing discussion is sure to follow.

‘Counterfeit Agent’ a pulsating, timely thriller

By Henry C. Jackson Associated Press

As with his previous books, “Agent” stars groups: There are the literary John Le Carre John Wells, an occasionally otherworldly but types, with luscious deeply human superspy prose that waxes on about brooding spooks of a sort.

Here the focus is on Turkey proper tradecraft, you can have it both ways. and Iran, where a nuclear “The Counterfeit Agent” plot may or may not be is the eighth spy thriller taking shape. Wells, as penned by Alex Beren- ever, is the catalyst, a son, a former New York Jason Bourne-like presence who, often enough, Times reporter with a

ends up saving the world, a sovereign nation, or a hapless character or three.

But he is also so much more than that, which is what distinguishes “Agent” and its predecessors from the pile. Wells

is a cipher for world events, but he is given flesh and bone before he’s dispatched to the world’s dark corners.

“Agent” is as topical as any of Berenson’s books and, with its sharp details and knowingness, gives you the distinct impression that the author has talked to more than enough people to know of what he speaks.

The question for Wells this time is: What is the nature of the threat? Is it real?

As the novel begins, Wells is sent to Latin America to check out a tip from his former boss at the CIA, who has left Langley for the marbled corridors of

Congress. A continent away, in Istanbul, a seemingly watertight Iranian source warns a CIA agent that Iran plans to kill a CIA station chief.

The novel’s arc takes the reader and Wells through a treacherous, twisting world of spies both affiliated and seemingly unaffiliated with sovereign nations.

The question isn’t just whether Wells can stop a nuclear showdown, it’s also the nature of the showdown itself.

The plot is every bit the thrill ride it sounds like. But the best part is that you don’t have to feel too guilty about it. The operatives and lowlifes alike are well

drawn. A character’s path to the CIA is set in motion by reading “The Spy Who Came in From the Cold” in high school. His split with the agency is set off by a well-crafted and believable act of personal betrayal.

Then there is Wells.

He is, necessarily, a dashing, hard-todefeat fellow. But he is deeply human, frustrated as often by love and his own personal demons as by the villains around him. He is a morally complex protagonist, an entertaining guy to hang out with. He alone makes “Agent” worth the read.

The Oscars: What will win and should win

By Jake Coyle and Jessica Herndon AP Film Writers

A seemingly endless movie awards season finally concludes Sunday with the Academy Awards. By now, many of the front-runners have established themselves, but the night’s big honor — best picture — remains a dramatic question mark.

Associated Press film writer Jake Coyle and Jessica Herndon both see “12 Years a Slave” eking out the win. But they have plenty to say about not only who will win, but who should win and who should have been a contender.

BEST PICTURE The Nominees: “American Hustle,” ‘’Captain Phillips,” ‘’Dallas Buyers Club,” ‘’Gravity,” ‘’Her,” ‘’Nebraska,” ‘’Philomena,” ‘’12 Years a Slave,”

‘’The Wolf of Wall Street.”

COYLE Will Win: “American Hustle” feels too light — actors in wigs having a ball. And “Gravity,” for all its galactic splendor, lacks the force of a solid story. So it must be “12 Years a Slave,” the candidate with the heft of history. But make no mistake: There’s no certainty in this close contest.

Should Win: “12 Years a Slave.” It’s an unforgettable odyssey, a reckoning of past movie portrayals of slavery and a uniquely unflinching tale of perseverance.

Should Have Been a Contender: Few movies capture boyhood like Jeff Nichols’ soulful Mississippi River coming-of-age tale “Mud.” HERNDON Will Win: Since “Gravity” stood out as an innovative prodigy advancing visual and 3-D possibilities, it’ll clean up in the

“West Side Story” had a long journey to Broadway. Six years elapsed between Jerome Robbins’s first idea of a modern musical adaptation of “Romeo and Juliet” and its actual Broadway debut. Originally directed and choreographed by Jerome Robbins, “West Side Story” opened at the Winter Garden Theatre on Sept. 26, 1957, and garnered passionate reactions from critics and audiences alike.

The revival of “West Side Story,” on which this tour is based began with previews at the Palace Theatre on Broadway in February 2009. It opened to critical acclaim, breaking box office records on March 19, 2009, and recouped its $14 million investment after running only 30 weeks.

However, once they’re called upon to reveal what’s happening, who’s doing it, and why, whatever momentum the movie had going for it grinds to a halt. The movie’s aspirations deflate into a been-there-done-that conclusion that, to be truthful, matches up well with the been-there-done-that thriller that came before.

There’s nothing remotely new or creative about “Non-Stop.” Even its idea of flashing text messages up on the screen, floating around a concerned Neeson, is done better and more effectively by BBC’s “Sherlock.”

As far as action thrillers go, “NonStop” falls somewhere between runof-the-mill and disappointment. Neeson, and audiences, deserve better.
