FROM THE EDITOR It’s been kind of a rough April as far as my television viewing habits go.

First, the inaugural season of AMC’s “Better Call Saul” came to an end. And the problem with a show that only has 10 episodes per season is that it seems like forever before it will return.

But while the “Breaking Bad” spinoff will eventually get around to a second season, two of my other favorite shows are actually gone forever.

National Geographic’s “Alaska State Troopers” was broadcast for the final time on Wednesday. While I was never a fan of cops, for some reason I loved “Troopers” just because they were in Alaska, which presented some impossibly beautiful scenery and some impossibly strange people.

And the day before the final “Troopers,” I caught the last episode of “Justified” on FX. Another short-season drama, “Justified” was the best Western on TV for six years ... even though it was set in modern-day Eastern Kentucky.

While a lot of people didn’t even know “Justified” was on, anyone who started watching the show based on an Elmore Leonard short story was instantly addicted

because the characters were so well crafted and the dialogue was just so darn good.

And while it’s not technically a TV show, I also had to say goodbye this month to Rob Lowe’s series of DirecTV commericals. Apparently Comcast won a little dispute over some of the claims made in the ads, which means the hilarious run of commericals featuring the likes of “Creepy” Rob Lowe and “Painfully Awkward” Rob Lowe have come to an end.

Although, it might be for the best.

Maybe now my “creepy” 3-year-old son will stop talking about wanting to go down to the rec center “to watch folks swim.”

Salt Lake City folk musician playing show on Saturday The Bridger Folk Music Society is pleased to present a concert featuring Marv Hamilton, a celebrated folk, roots and acoustic blues musician from Salt Lake City, at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 18, at the Crumb Brothers Artisan Bread building at 291 S. 300 West.

Since seating is limited, reservations are recommended. Tickets are $15 and may be purchased by calling (435) 535-1408, or by going to bridgerfolk.org.

A masterful singer, songwriter, guitarist and harmonica player, Hamilton was the Intermountain Acoustic Music Association’s Member’s Choice Awards winner for male singer-songwriters in 2013. He is also a threetime winner in the KRCL/ Founder’s Title Company Folk and Bluegrass Performing Songwriter Showcase, and a Kerrville Folk Festival finalist. Hamilton has

Salt Lake City-based musician Marv Hamilton will perform Saturday night at the Crumb Brothers Artisan Bread building.

shared the stage with John Gorka, Dave Alvin, Cheryl Wheeler and Chuck Pyle.

One of Utah’s most

respected artists, Hamilton’s songs are slices of life in the Wasatch Mountains, the Black Hills of South Dakota

or a plane load of soldiers on their way to Vietnam. They include character portraits and emotional journeys into love, grief, anger, joy and hope.

According to Dan Nailen of the Salt Lake Tribune, “Hamilton’s folk and acoustic blues songs, whether they be love ballads, political dissections or odes to the mountains ... have earned him a reputation as one of Utah’s finest songwriters.”

Magpie House Concerts’ Grant Hogarth comments, “Whether dealing with the loss of innocence or the gaining of wisdom, Marv’s songs are immediate, direct, and sharply observed. His powerful and powerfully honest songs and performances come from the heart and reflect the deep care he has for both people and the natural world.”

“His sense of humor reveals itself in offbeat ways,” says Paul Swensen of Continuum University of Utah. “Love of literature, poetry and good writing — a lasting legacy of Hamilton’s English degree — show in his gift as a lyricist.”

‘Furious 7’ stays out in front at box office

AP Photo/Universal Pictures

Vin Diesel stars in “Furious 7,” which topped the box office for a second straight week.

NEW YORK (AP) — The high-octane thriller “Furious 7” maintained speed in its second week, racing away with $60.6 million at North American theaters and bringing its box-office total to a robust $252.5 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Universal’s “Furious 7” more than lapped the competition. The only new wide release of the weekend, the rodeo romance “The Longest Ride,” opened with $13.5 million.

That was good enough for third place for the Fox release, which stars Clint Eastwood’s son, Scott Eastwood. In second was the DreamWorks animated alien adventure “Home,” which pulled in $19 million in its third week of release.

But “Furious 7” continued to dominate the marketplace, dropping only 59 percent from its remarkable $147.2 million debut last weekend. Globally, it has already crossed $800 million in its first two weeks of

release, according to Universal.

The weekend international total — an eye-popping $195 million — was boosted by the film premiering in China on Sunday, where it earned an estimated $68.6 million in just one day.

Over 10 days, “Furious 7,” which prominently features a tribute to the late actor Paul Walker, has already out-grossed all previous installments of the 14-year-old franchise.

At its current pace, “Furi-

ous 7” will likely become the highest grossing film in Universal’s history. The studio’s “Jurassic Park,” from 1993, holds Universal’s mark with $1.02 billion worldwide.

It’s a summer blockbustersized result for “Furious 7,” but by opening in April, it has little competition in its way. On a much smaller scale, the critically acclaimed sci-fi film “Ex Machina” drew the year’s largest theater average of $62,489 in four theaters.

Tribeca Festival opens with ‘SNL’ doc NEW YORK (AP) — The Tribeca Film Festival kicked off Wednesday night with a celebration of another, older New York institution.

“Live From New York!,” a documentary on the cultural impact of “Saturday Night Live”

by Bao Nguyen, opened the 14th edition of Tribeca, the downtown film festival that aspires to be the kind of Manhattan mainstay Lorne Michael’s “SNL” has been for 40 years.

The opening gala was held at the Beacon Theatre, a bit uptown from the festival’s namesake neighborhood, but a sign of the festival’s ambitions. The Beacon is owned by the Madison Square Garden Company, which last year bought half of Tribeca Enterprises, the festival’s producer.

In his opening remarks with co-founder Jane Rosenthal, Robert De Niro thanked the Madison Square Garden Company for not turning the grand old theater into a multiplex.

This image shows a scene from “Live from New York!,” a documentary about the TV comedy show “Saturday Night Live,” a film that premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Current “SNL” cast members like Kate McKinnon and Bobby Moynihan showed up for the premiere, as did some of the political figures, like former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who have sometimes been skewered by “SNL.” There has often been

overlap between “SNL” and Tribeca. The show’s cast members have frequently premiered films at the festival, and “Live From New York!” is actually the second “SNL” documentary to debut there, following James Franco’s “Saturday Night Live,” which in 2010

offered a backstage view of the show’s weekly rituals from Tuesday table read to Saturday night performance.

De Niro has hosted “SNL” three times, all of which, he joked, were times when the show See DOC on Page 12

NEW YORK (AP) — Some 100 feature films, 67 of them world premieres, will make up the 14th annual Tribeca Film Festival, which kicks off Wednesday.

The films, though, will only be part of the story at the festival, which takes after the eclectic frenzy of its city, New York. Perhaps to help compensate for a film slate that sometimes underwhelms, Tribeca thrives on its urban festiveness, surrounding its screens with musical performance, celebrity conversations, outdoor “drive-in” events, interactive exhibits and red carpets.

This year, in particular, the off-screen attractions crowd the springtime festivalgoing. Here are some of the highlights to this year’s Tribeca, running through Sunday April 26.

BEHIND THE LAUGHS Tribeca opens

Wednesday with the premiere of Bao Nguyen’s documentary about “Saturday Night Live” through the years: “Live From New York!” It’s a fitting start to a theme that runs throughout the festival where a host of films peer behind comedy institutions and delve into the nature of the comedian. “Very Semi-Serious,” by Leah Wolchok, profiles the cartoons and cartoonists of the New Yorker.

“Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead: The Story of the National Lampoon,” a film that first premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, examines the fabled humor magazine. And in Kevin Pollack’s “Misery Loves Company,” the comic interviews stand-up colleagues on the mysterious compulsions of the comedian. The film is dedicated to Robin Williams.

We soon learn that one of their other friends, Laura (Heather Sossaman), recently committed suicide. Her grizzly death was caught on tape, which we watch on YouTube. It’s the anniversary of her suicide, and you know how tortured haunting spirits from the netherworld always have a keen sense of Earthly time.

Needless to say, as the kids gab, creepy stuff starts happening.

Their Skype chat has a mysterious user who can’t be removed, blocked or reported. The user starts typing creepy messages.

Blaire switches back and forth between Skype, Gmail, message boards,

Shelley Henning, top and above, and Moses Storm star in the new horror movie, “Unfriended.”

Laura is back, and she’s angry. At first her presence is unsettling and sort

of disturbing. Though, once the rigid horror tropes arrive late in the game, there’s not much the movie’s device can do to assuage their bluntness.

Watching a horror movie play out on someone’s laptop screen is maddening and captivating all at the same time.

However, the tactic wears a little thin when you spend whole stretches of the movie trying to listen to four people talk over each other; deal with what appear to be moderate to terrible bandwidth capabilities; herky-jerky pixelated images; and static-laden audio. And for the love of everything that is holy, Blaire, please turn off your Skype audio

I have no doubt that for the next year or so, “Unfriended” will be a cult hit among high schoolers. Though, in five years it will be akin to the nostalgic dopiness that comes with watching something like “The Net” now. Technology changes so fast, that the way this movie is constructed severely undercuts any sort of shelf life. The expiration date for enjoying it will come and go in a flash.

So, as I sat there watching the horrors unfold on Blaire’s screen, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t intrigued.

I was. The suspense “Unfriended” builds in the first 10 minutes is almost unbearable. There are times where “Unfriended” is genuinely scary in spite of its ridiculously overt message. Even as the frustration with the gimmick builds to unsustainable levels I couldn’t help but admire what “Unfriended” ultimately accomplished.

The Reel Place Aaron Peck

“Unfriended” is an oddly compelling, instantly dated horror film that acts as a blatantly obvious comment on excessive social media use and the aftereffects of cyberbullying.

It’s a unique film that lives — and ultimately dies — by its gimmick.

At first you think it’s clever, then it becomes frustrating, and then it devolves into an annoying exercise.

So, how is “Unfriended” a gimmicky experience? Well, picture a high school girl’s MacBook desktop … and that’s it. Literally, the entire movie takes place on Blaire’s (Shelley Hennig) jumbled laptop screen. I’m not joking. The camera doesn’t move. Instead the movement, dialogue and story all play out on her screen.

Like I said, at first it’s peculiar and sort of fascinating trying to figure out how they’re going to make a feature-length movie out of this. Then you realize it’s not going to change. You’re stuck watching a computer screen. A teenager’s computer screen. The horror!

Most of the action takes place inside a group Skype chat with Blaire, her boyfriend Mitch (Moses Jacob Storm), and their friends Adam (Will Peltz), Ken (Jacob Wysocki), Val (Courtney Halverson) and Jess (Renee Olstead). Why they’re gathering on Skype at a set time isn’t quite understood.

Perhaps this is just something they do. They seem like they do it a lot. Is this something the kids do nowadays?

‘Unfriended’ is a scary film for right now

A little taste of home Cache Valley native Kate Jones returns to share some selections from the popular ‘Best Bites’ cookbooks she’s co-authored with Sara Wells

C

ache Valley cooks got a few tips on healthy recipes from a native daughter and former Logan High Grizzly on April 8 when Kate Jones returned to Logan for a cooking class at Kitchen Kneads that afternoon, followed by a booksigning at Deseret Book that evening.

Jones, a married mother of three children, and her partner, Sara Wells, run the cooking blog Our Best Bites, and the pair have been promoting their third cookbook, “400 Calories or Less with Our Best Bites.”

The two women have been operating their blog since March 2008, and their published cookbooks have been a natural outgrowth of the blog’s popularity. Their previous two cookbooks are “Best Bites: Mormon Moms in the Kitchen” and “Savoring the Seasons with Our Best Bites.”

“Our first one was published in 2011. It was kind of a general, overall cookbook,” Jones said.

“It was big, and it was kind of all-encompassing. And it was a really fun experience, and it was a learning experience. And then we published our second one almost immediately after. We published the first book in March of 2011, and then the manuscript for the second one was due by Christmas.

So that one, the turnaround was really quick. And it was a seasonal cookbook. And it was fun, but we felt like we needed to take a little break and regroup after that. It was a lot of work, and it was a lot of time away from my family and things like that.”

During this hiatus from cookbook writing, both women became more interested in living a healthier lifestyle, including healthy eating, which led to the inspiration for

Story by Chuck Nunn • Photos by Jeff Hunter their newest offering.

“It seemed like the natural next step, when we were ready to write another one, was to write one about healthy eating,” Jones said. “But it was also eating like a real person, you know, real food that you can eat whether or not you’re making a conscious decision to eat healthy or lose weight. It’s using real ingredients and real food and stuff that kids will eat and you’ll eat. Nobody wants to make a meal for themselves while everyone else is eating pizza or lasagna or whatever.

“So, we wanted it to be something that everyone would like, so there are a lot of family friendly recipes in there. And we’ve gotten a lot of really positive response from

the whole thing. And we’ve used it in our own health and weight-loss journeys, and it’s probably been our favorite book to write.”

The class at Kitchen Kneads on April 8 featured two of the recipes from the new book, plus a rather indulgent dessert recipe not found in the book.

“We do have desserts in the book, but I just wanted to go in a different direction for that,” Jones said. “And that’s part of our theme, is that we really believe in balance, and you know, you can splurge a little bit in some areas as you’re cutting back in others.”

The recipes in the new book have a lot of international influence, particularly since Wells served

an LDS Church mission in Brazil and gained an appreciation for Latin American cuisine. But Jones’ favorite recipe in “400 Calories or Less with Our Best Bites” has more of a Far Eastern flavor to it.

“I think my favorite is probably the banh mi tacos,” Jones said. “And they are kind of a lot of work, and the ingredients list is kind of intimidating, but they’re totally worth every second that you’re going to spend in the kitchen.

“It’s like a Vietnamese sandwich with a kind of spicy, sweet pork, and so I use a pork tenderloin and just marinate it, and it’s a really flavorful marinade. And then we grill it and then slice it really thin and put it on tacos with pickled vegetables and kind of a spicy lime mayonnaise.”

And while international fare may sound a bit intimidating for some Cache Valley families, Jones and Wells have tested the recipes with their own families with excellent results.

Another recipe with maybe a bit more of an American feel was one inspired by cuisine from Jones’ current home in Louisiana, creamy Cajun pasta.

“It’s a little bit spicy, and it’s kind of an alfredo sauce, but it’s lightened up, and it’s ful of skilletcooked red onions and peppers and sausage, all that good stuff,” Jones said. “But it really isn’t too bad when it comes to the calorie count, and it’s really been one of our most popular recipes. We’ve got some honey lime shrimp that are good too.”

I often refer to people as soulless husks — usually under my breath, or when I’m alone throwing glass objects against the wall in the garage. Everyone has to find his or her own anger management Zen. “Soulless” is more descriptive and less vulgar than other terms I could use. It is a slight variation on heartless, but I think there is a differentiation.

What exactly is a soul? Dr. Duncan MacDougall is famous on Wikipedia and other less scholarly journals for claiming that a human soul weighed

body to find a more hospitable residence.

While this is an interesting diversion into the scientific method, I’m more interested in being able to detect if a living person has a soul. I’m not talking about a theologically debatable or a musically rhythmic soul, but rather some proof that you are a human being who knows there are other human beings around you.

Be careful when you take a soul selfie Call it bedside manner or civility, but I consider empathy to be the No. 1 attribute of those possessing a soul. Are you able to feel anything outside your own brain box?

I wonder.

Selfies, selfie sticks and selfies with drones.

I’m not sure how many people have fallen off cliffs or gotten bitten by zoo animals while trying to get the perfect selfie, but it is not enough. If you are not sure you have a soul, I think you might be able to find it in a back-door-sort-of-way by analyzing how you feel about these two soulcrushing activities: Filling out forms: Of

course this makes the U.S. government the No. 1 soul crusher, led annually by the tax commission. There is nothing more mind-numbing than trying to fill out the long form. Even the short form has 23 more fill-in-the-boxes than it needs. Every time I see a new form, Google Doc or spreadsheet, my life passes before me in ultra-slow motion. Do not inflict forms on others. TGIF does not stand for “Thank God It’s a Form.”

Fast food: If you can’t see how horrible the fast food industry is, you probably don’t have a soul. The people there

would probably be happier if they were literally chained to an oar on a slave ship rowing toward a hurricane. If robots can build cars, drive cars and win on “Jeopardy,” certainly they can make burgers, fries and breakfast nuggets. I know people need jobs, but if robots can free people from the soul-crushing occupations of serving bad food while wearing a smock, paper hat and a name tag, technology will have truly achieved the promise we were promised.

Continued from Page 5 a question that has been very much (a part) of recent news events: ‘What social conditions lead us to make heroes out of those who demonstrate anti-social behavior?’”

Bonnie and Clyde were notorious criminals, but they were also regarded as heroes by many of the victims of the Great Depression — an almost Robin Hood-like worship based on the “have-nots” striking back at authority and those who “have,” Risch said.

“Anyone who has been closely following the news over the past few years or listened to national politicians can see the parallels,” Risch said.

“The events in the musical are based on actual events, but it is ultimately a romanticized view of the famous couple.”

There are 29 scenes in the musical as it moves from events from Bonnie and

Page 11 -

Clyde

Clyde’s childhoods to the ambush that leads to their deaths. The set needs to be extremely flexible and one that evokes a feel for the period rather than literal locations, Risch said.

“The costumes (in the USU production) are based upon the research that designer Jenny Schwartzman has done,” Risch said. “There is an iconic look for Bonnie and Clyde based upon photos that were ultimately left behind during a quick getaway and discovered by the police. These photos became famous and make it increasingly difficult for the couple to stay in one place for any length of time. The photos also helped shape the public’s perception of Bonnie and Clyde.”

Risch tries to give each character and scene respect by staying neutral and maintaining objectivity.

“This story has always intrigued me, and the more I researched, the more fascinated I became with all of the people involved in it,” Risch said. “It was an amazing time in American history and these were colorful youngsters with big dreams.”

The film, which will open in theaters in June, is populated by cast members and hosts who describe the show’s unique perch in media. Will Ferrell calls it “a living, breathing time capsule.” Amy Poehler says it’s “a mishmash of America right now.”

While warmly received, “Live From New York!” perhaps suffers from some “SNL”-feting fatigue: NBC hosted a 3 ½-hour primetime anniversary special in February.

The documentary leads a number of films at this year’s festival that document comedy from behind-thescenes, including documentaries

on the National Lampoon (“Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead: The Story of the National Lampoon”) and New Yorker cartoons (“Very SemiSerious”). A Monty Python reunion is also planned to coincide with screenings of the British troupe’s films, as well a documentary on their 2014 reunion shows.

This year’s Tribeca is also chock full of off-screen performances and conversations, including a Mary J. Blige concert, and talks with George Lucas, Courtney Love and Amy Schumer. Wednesday night’s premiere was followed by a performance by rapper Chris “Ludacris” Bridges.

The group won its second Grammy Award last year for Best Regional Mexican Music Album for its ninth album, “A Mi Manera.”
