From the editor

s a seventh grader I was obsessed with everything “Titanic.” I saw the movie in the theater four times, was in love with Leonardo DiCaprio, and had to watch the Oscars when “Titanic” won Best Picture along with a bunch of other awards. And then in eighth grade my best friend Jenny and I decided to make our own version of the movie. I filmed the show and also played the role of Rose’s mother. Jenny was Rose and my brother played Captain Edward Smith, his only line being “Take us to sea Mister Murdoch.” All other parts, including Jack and Cal, were played by stuffed animals. My dad’s fishing boat was supposed to be the Titanic from the outside, my house was the ship from the inside. My deck was used for the famous sunset scene where Kate Winslet says she’s flying. Too bad you could hear roosters in the background,

and where there was supposed to be an ocean, there was grass, trees and flowers. Our entire list of props included an afghan and other assorted blankets for dresses, a hat decorated with Christmas bows and a clarinet case. We used a piano for sound effects in one scene, and all other music came from my “Titanic” CD. Let’s be honest, our movie was pretty pathetic, and we laugh at it every time. I’ve enjoyed making movies over the years; however, most of them are slide shows, and the others are as low-budget as our version of “Titanic.” It’s a good thing there are plenty of other people out there making movies that are actually worth seeing. Local film maker Nelson Hernandez recently produced a film that debuted April 26 at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York and he’s hoping to get it in other festivals as well. Making the film has been a journey, and so far, reviews are positive. Someday it may even be featured at USU. You can read more about the film and Hernandez on page 8. — Manette Newbold Cache Magazine editor

Film Still playing “Fast Five” Rated PG-13 ★★1⁄2 If the filmmakers had thrown in giant, shape-shifting robots, talking apes and some vampires, the fifth installment in “The Fast and the Furious” franchise would hardly have been more outlandish. That said, the movie will get you where you’re going. Opting for a blowout of a movie with no restraints whatsoever, director Justin Lin wisely adds former wrestling superstar Dwayne Johnson as a relentless federal agent to go toe-to-toe with Vin Diesel’s driving ace, who’s again on the run along with his sister (Jordana Brewster) and his cop-turned-outlaw pal (Paul Walker). Any thwack from the inevitable DieselJohnson slugfest might kill an ordinary human, but these characters basically are comic-book figures, so they’re able to wail the innards out of each other and come through with only a cosmetic bruise or two. It’s nonsense, but when Hollywood does nonsense right, it can be a lot of fun. Lin now is far more assured as an action director, crafting stunts and chases that zip along so recklessly you won’t much care how utterly impossible they are. Past “Fast and Furious” rowdies such as Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges and Sung Kang join Diesel and company for an “Ocean’s Eleven”-style heist romp. 130 minutes. “Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil” Rated PG ★ Red Riding Hood needs a better agent. Months after being refashioned in a werewolf tale, she’s back in this computer-animated sequel to the mostly forgotten 2005 original. The fractured fairy tale has

returned with 3-D graphics, more polished animation and less wit. There was some madcap charm to the earlier “Hoodwinked!” which reinterpreted the story of Red Riding Hood as a “Rashomon”-style detective story. This sequel, directed by Mike Disa, takes the same characters and instead of refashioning a fairy tale, casts them in an action film plot. Red (Hayden Panettiere assuming Anne Hathaway’s role), Wolf (Patrick Warburton), Twitchy (an overcaffeinated squirrel voiced by Cory Edwards) and Granny (Glenn Close) are now special agents in the Happily Ever After Agency. Led by the dapper, long-legged frog Nicky Flippers (David Ogden Stiers), they pursue the kidnapped Hansel (Bill Hader) and Gretel (Amy Poehler) when they’re taken by a witch (Joan Cusack). The frame is more “Mission: Impossible” than Brothers Grimm. The result is a more professional-looking film with less comedy. If only the talented voice cast had written it, too. 85 minutes. “Prom” Rated PG ★★1⁄2 It’s not just prom, it’s Disney’s “Prom.” And so no one smokes, no one sneaks in peach schnapps in a flask and no one gets lucky in the back of a limo. This is all about that magical night when everyone gets together, regardless of the social hierarchy that had been firmly in place the past four years, and dreams come true. Wholesome, earnest dreams for wholesome, earnest kids — except for the resident bad boy, that is. But naturally, he’ll turn out to have a heart of gold. Yes, director Joe Nussbaum’s film, from a script by Katie Wech, is chock-full of high-school movie cliches — sometimes knowingly and amusingly so. There’s

New this week

he summer movie season seems to start earlier and earlier ” every year, with studios pushing tent pole releases into the beginning of May, instead of waiting until Memorial Day Weekend. We started last week with the huge box office hit “Fast Five” and now this week we get the first big comic book movie of the summer in “Thor.” We all know that Marvel Studios is trying to release its big name character movies in order to prepare for the upcoming “The Avengers” movies. So from now until 2012 we’ll be getting origin stories of some of our favorite Marvel superheroes. Here we find out where Thor comes from, why he’s so full of angst, and how he winds up on earth. We may remember the stories of Thor and Odin, gods who were worshipped by the Vikings, from childhood. Here we find out that Thor is actually an alien, much in the same way that Superman is an alien. He comes from a different planet altogether. At some point in time Thor and his father visited earth to help defeat a race known as the Frost Giants, and that’s where the stories come from. People began worshipping these alien beings as gods. Thor (Chris Hemsworth) is arrogant, unpredictable, and is the rightful heir to the throne of Asgard. Thor’s father, Odin (Anthony Hopkins) is just about ready to

The Reel Place By Aaron Peck

relinquish his throne to his son, but realizes that Thor still has some learning to do. See, Thor is pretty impulsive. So impulsive that on a whim he travels to the planet of the Frost Giants and singlehandedly starts a war with them. This doesn’t bode well for Asgard, and so Thor is banished by his father, to earth. It’s a good thing that all Asgardians speak English though. Actually, everyone including the Frost Giants speak English. The spread of the English Empire apparently wasn’t just global, it was universal. Just to make sure we know Thor is from a different place though, he speaks in old English. Like he’s from the middle ages. Asgard is a peculiar place. This is a place that uses powerful light beams to transport beings light years away through the galaxy, but they still ride around on horses and wield

swords and shields. In all seriousness much of it doesn’t make any sense, but neither did “Fast Five” and that movie was bucket loads of fun. On earth Thor meets Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) who is a scientist who’s been studying atmospheric pressure disturbances in the New Mexico desert. It’s easy to see that this is going to be the movie’s love story. Thor meets Jane. Thor falls for Jane. Thor saves Jane. “Thor” doesn’t really distance itself from the various other superhero films out there, but it is exciting. However, may I recommend not seeing it in 3D. I’ve never been a fan of the technology, but here it’s utterly distracting. Much of the film is dark by nature,

much of anything when Thor and his buddies visit the Frost Giant’s home. It’s frustrating. All this movie does is serve as an origin story for Thor, prepping him for “The Avengers.” Still, for summer movie fare, it’s a fun enough ride.

Nelson’s journey Local film producer shines light on basketball in reservations

everal life-altering experiences in the last decade have had a profound influence on Nelson Hernandez. First, there was the day he went to work early nearly 10 years ago in New York City. His place of employment as a retail manager had been right between the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center, until a recent transfer to a store across the river in New Jersey. However, he still had to go through the World Trade Center to catch a train, but on Sept. 11, 2001, he was asked to come in several hours earlier than the usual 9 a.m. which proved to be life saving. “I was outside with a delivery truck, and I saw everything go over my head,” Hernandez said. “It took me 15 hours to get home that day. I lost a lot of friends that day.” After the terrorist attacks, he and his wife, June, and young son, Justin, packed up and moved west. He decided on the Beehive state after “randomly applying” to the University of Utah. “I’ve been in Utah ever since,” Hernandez said. “I had never been out here, but I did have a buddy (Fontaine Saltes) from New York that played (basketball) at Weber State.” The second life-changing experience came when he visited a reservation in Nebraska at the urging of Saltes, who had married an American Indian who had attended Utah State University and became a teacher on a reservation in South Dakota. The native New Yorker

of Puerto Rican and Spanish descent had no idea that visit would cause him to take up the cause he presently is heavily involved in. “At first I told him (Saltes) he was crazy, that I was not going to a reservation,” Hernandez said. “He was pretty persistent. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be here.” Hernandez wasn’t able to visit the reservation in South Dakota, but ended up near Omaha, Neb. “It’s just really weird,” Hernandez said. “When I went to the reservation, it was one of those moments that changed my life forever. ... I didn’t know anything about the reservation. I was thinking “Dancing with Wolves,” Kevin Costner. I was pretty ignorant. I met with the people and what I saw changed my whole perspective. “I went home and cried. I couldn’t figure out why I was crying and depressed. ... Something happened there that to this day I can’t really explain. It took me a while to get things going, I didn’t know how I was going to help.” Helping Native Americans through basketball became a passion for Hernandez, who now calls Cache Valley home. The 33-year-old is a graduate assistant for USU head men’s basketball coach Stew Morrill. He has many duties, from flipping the play cards during games to gathering and breaking down film of upcoming opponents the Aggies will face. While the inner-city of New York and

the more than 100 reservations across the U.S. and Canada he has visited over the past 10 years seem to be worlds apart, there is a similarity — basketball. That stunned Hernandez at first, who has been involved in the game at various levels for years. “People don’t understand how big basketball is on the reservation,” Hernandez said. “The only thing I can equate it to is like soccer for Europeans and Latin Americans. It’s a fanatical thing. I have seen schools on the Navajo Reservation with 5,000 and 8,000seat gyms.” After his first visit to a reservation, Hernandez went to work to try and help those less fortunate by using basketball to spread a message of hope. He has brought players and sports gear to the reservations, even getting clothing donated by Magic Johnson. “It kind of snowballed and took over my life for a bunch of years,” Hernandez said. After hundreds of camps, clinics and youth conferences, he wondered what else he could do to get the message out and help American Indians. Then he met the Schimmel family on the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Oregon. Hernandez actually went to watch a teenager that was drawing national attention in junior high near Pendleton, Ore. Shoni Schimmel would end up being the center of a more than twoyear film project. See FILM on page 10

Film Continued from page 8 “I thought this would be a good movie,” Hernandez said. “I thought this story would kind of symbolize my journey over the last six or seven years.” “Off the Rez” recently debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City. Hernandez was one of the producers, along with wellknown producer Kelly Ripa. The director for “Off the Rez” was Jonathan Hock, who made “Through the Fire,” the story of Sebastian Telfair, who now plays in the NBA. Hernandez called the film “Through the Fire” part two, Indian version. The documentary-style film follows the Schimmel family for two years as they make the difficult decision to leave the reservation for better opportu-

nities. It ends with Shoni graduating from high school and announcing she is going to go play Division I basketball at Louisville, where she actually just completed her freshman season and made the all-Big East freshman team as well as being named to the Freshman All-American team. The Schimmels miss the closeness on the reservation, compared to living in a big city like Portland where they moved. Shoni is one of the best high school basketball players in the country and dreams of being the first from her tribe to get a college scholarship. A line by Shoni is used on the film’s poster and in a trailer: “You can’t take the rez out of the girl.” An explanation of the film read: “In ‘Through the Fire,’ Hock used basketball as a point of entry into a poor African-American neighborhood in Brooklyn, N.Y. There he found not just a sports story but a human story, a multi-

generational drama about a family fighting to shake off centuries of oppression and seize its moment of destiny. With ‘Off the Rez,’ Hock turns his cameras to America’s forgotten ‘hood,’ the Indian Reservation, where another unique family drama is playing out. “Shoni Schimmel was a high-school junior living on the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Oregon, the star basketball player on the local team. Then Shoni’s mother, Ceci Moses, took a job coaching a high school team in Portland, and against the wishes of her own mother and grandmother on the “Rez,” Ceci brought Shoni and her seven other children with her. Now, Shoni’s senior year has become the most important year of their lives as mother and daughter fight to prove that Native American women can become champions off the Rez.” During the filming and edit-

ing process, Hock leaned on Hernandez because of his vast experience in working with American Indians. “It was my baby,” Hernandez said. “It was a story I wanted to tell. ... I feel good about it overall. I think many people will be able to relate to it. I’m not Native American and I’ve had struggles and made it through. ... It tells a story of an American family. I hope a kid will see this and realize they can make it. The one thing you take away from this movie is it is about love and family.” Several reviews of the 89-minute film have been positive. It was first shown on April 26, at the Tribeca Film Festival, which was founded in 2001 by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthan and Craig Hatkoff. “Feedback has been pretty good,” Hernandez said. “I talked to the family, and they liked it. I can’t complain for the first time out, first-time

producer.” “Off the Rez” will air on television on TLC on May 14, at 7 p.m. Hernandez is working on getting it shown at USU in the fall. He is also trying to get it in some more film festivals, including Sundance. There is an eight-minute trailer that was featured on ESPN. It can be found at: http://espn.go.com/video/ clip?id=4021529. There is also a Facebook page for the film. Hernandez is already working on another film, but didn’t want to reveal any details yet. For now, he is focusing on his job at USU and getting the word out about “Off the Rez.” “I love it here, I love the school,” Hernandez said. “I tell my wife all the time, I love Logan and Utah State. ... Coach Morrill, (Tim) Duryea, (Chris) Jones, (Tarvish) Felton and (Lance) Beckert have really been good to me. I feel blessed to be here and working with this staff.”

LAS VEGAS — On the final track of their new album — their first together in 30 years — Donny and Marie Osmond give a nod to difficult times. “Sun follows rain, strength follows pain,” the duo sings before echoing the song’s title. “We will find a way.” It’s a motto that Marie Osmond has taken to heart over the past year. She’s still grieving after her son Michael Bryan committed suicide in Los Angeles in February 2010. “Some days are harder than others, and you take it one day at a time,” she said recently. “Yeah, those anniversaries are tough — it’s coming up, his birthday, here in a few days.” But while Marie Osmond, 51, is still mourning the loss of her

son, she is also marking a period of rebirth. She wed her first husband, Stephen Craig, on Wednesday, on what is the birthday of Michael and her late mother Olive. Craig and Osmond were originally married in 1982 and have one son, Stephen. Also this week, she and her brother Donny released “Donny & Marie,” which has them revisiting their country roots. Marie Osmond rose to her own fame as a country artist in the 1970s, with her hit “Paper Roses”

reaching No. 1 on the country charts in 1973. Marie said the timing felt right for a new album because fans were asking, and they found good songs and collaborators. The album was produced by Buddy Cannon, a country producer known mainly for his work with Kenny Chesney. “He’s so good to work with in terms of the selection of the songs and finding the songs that work with our voices,” Donny, 53, said. “It was a pleasure to work with him.”

Former New York Times sportswriter pens memoir By Ann Levin For The Associated Press

more than 50 years INewncovering sports, the longtime York Times columnist

Robert Lipsyte prided himself on being a sportswriter who wasn’t a fan. A fat, brainy kid who got beat up in grammar school, Lipsyte majored in English at Columbia University and wanted to be a novelist. “Truth was in the sweep of fiction, I thought, not in a string of little facts,” he writes. But after college, he lucked into a summer job as a copyboy in the Times sports department and fell in love with daily journalism as it was practiced at the Times. There, with Gay Talese as his mentor, he developed a singular voice that, by temperament and life experience, invariably sided with the underdog. Alert to the social and political changes convulsing the era, he befriended Dick Gregory, eventually collaborating with him on his autobiography. Gregory’s scabrous humor about the corrosive affect of racism left a lasting mark. When Lipsyte was rewarded with a column after 10 years of chasing daily news, including his biggest story, Muhammad Ali, he gravitated to stories with a sharp racial or political edge: lacrosse on an Indian reservation, gay athletes coming out. “I could enjoy the Kentucky Derby ... as a great horse race, a splendid party and a vignette of Americana only the first couple of times I covered it before issues of class, race and equine exploitation became impossible to ignore,” he writes. Even though he interviewed

the greatest sports stars of his era — Ali, Mickey Mantle, Billie Jean King, Lance Armstrong — he never wanted to “god up” the players. He perceived a bigger story beyond the game scores — something he dubbed Jock Culture, which he saw as a defining aspect of American society. That might sound like a good thing because aren’t professional athletes known for hard work and sacrifice? Yes, but people get old and bodies fail, and although athletes may be able to postpone the inevitable with performanceenhancing drugs, eventually they, too, will be used up and discarded. Jock Culture glorifies the young, the strong and the beautiful, and Lipsyte, the would-be Chekhov, gets the tragic implications. That’s why his columns, and this marvelous memoir, “An Accidental Sportswriter,” are so affecting. When readers would hector him about why his work was always so political, at first he put it off on his liberal parents. “Then I thought — now I always think — why isn’t everyone else’s work more political?”

Narrative of WWI focuses on war resisters By Ann Levin For The Associated Press

ven today, people are E killed in northern France by unexploded shells left over

from the 700 million artillery and mortar rounds fired on the Western Front during World War I. The fighting between 1914 and 1918 left at least 8.5 million soldiers dead worldwide, including half of all Frenchmen ages 20 to 32, and more than 21 million wounded. Volumes have been devoted to the “war to end all wars.” Now Adam Hochschild has contributed a riveting narrative history that broadens the focus beyond generals and heads of state to include the lesserknown stories of war resisters willing to risk prison or worse for their pacifist beliefs. A veteran journalist whose previous books include “King Leopold’s Ghost,” about Bel-

gium’s brutal colonial rule in the Congo, Hochschild well knows a cardinal rule of the trade: Tell your story through people. In “To End All Wars,” he has assembled an irresistible, unforgettable cast of characters, including a mother and three daughters radicalized by the women’s suffrage movement; a fiery union organizer who went to work in the mines as a boy; a clergyman’s daughter whose first crusade was on behalf of civilians interned by the British during the Boer War; and the eminent philosopher and mathematician Bertrand Russell, briefly jailed for his anti-war writing.

In the end, Hochschild must decide whether the vast and unprecedented carnage of the Great War was worth it. The prevailing view has been that it was a “needless tragedy,” he says, at least for Great Britain, which was not directly attacked. But in recent years, he notes, some British military historians have argued that it was necessary to keep Germany from overrunning Europe. Although Hochschild acknowledges that humans may very well have devised other ways to maim and kill each other had the First World War not happened, he argues eloquently that the world is far worse off because of it.
