FROM THE EDITOR Is anyone besides me feeling patriotic? Well, I have to admit, this issue of Cache Magazine does seem to have a Fourth of July-like theme to it. That is completely accidental, by the way. It just so happens that we ended up with a cover story on Mountain Crest High School art students creating a mammoth American flag on the same week that “Captain America: Civil War” was released. (At least I think it was accidental. Heaven knows Marvel/Disney does wield an awful lot of power these days). So, sticking with the patriotic theme,
it seems appropriate to let you know that tickets for this year’s Freedom Fire Independence Day Celebration and Fireworks Show will go on sale Monday, May 16. This summer’s show will be held on Friday, July 1, at Utah State University’s Maverik Stadium and will feature musical performances by Caleb Chapman’s Crescent Super Band, Journey Unlimited —“The Ultimate Tribute to Journey” — and Ryan Innes. Tickets for this year’s show are $8, with a Six-Tix pack available for $36. Tickets will be available starting Monday at the Logan Community Recreation Center, the Logan Aquatic Center, Cache Valley Visitors Bureau, USU Spectrum Ticket Office, or online at pr.loganutah.org. Of course, if buying tickets to Freedom Fire mean that you’ll be unable to afford
tickets to “Captain America: Civil War,” then I might suggest going onto YouTube and checking out the Honest Trailer for “Captain America” — the 1990 version. (Warning: Honest Trailers are highly addictive, and you’ll probably end up watching several more). I don’t remember this version of “Captain America” coming out ... and I think that’s a fortunate thing. J.D. Salinger’s son starred in the title role, while Darren McGavin and Melinda Dillon held “A Christmas Story” reunion in a movie that was apparently filmed simply to be fun of. The trailer alone will certainly make you feel grateful with what Marvel has done with Cap over the past five or six years. U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! — Jeff Hunter
Today’s release of ‘Civil War’ heralds start of movie season NEW YORK (AP) — Hollywood’s summer, which kicks off with the fittingly combative “Captain America: Civil War,” will be a season of struggle: for box office, for originality and for opportunity. More than ever, the big tent of summer moviegoing is held up by a forest of tentpoles stretching from May to August. The swelling size of the summer movie has turned the season into a game of survival. The possibility of bombing lurks as an ever-present threat, testosterone often dominates in front of and (especially) behind the camera, and few non-sequel, non-reboot films dare to compete. Box office and stress levels run high in equal measure. “It’s a different landscape than 2002 when the first ‘Bourne’ movie came out,” says Matt Damon, who returns to the franchise in Paul Greengrass’ “Jason Bourne” (July 29). “It’s like a high-stakes poker game that I don’t want to be in. The swings are just so brutal. Ben (Affleck) just opened ‘Batman v Superman’ a few weeks ago. Everyone around him and in his life was nervous about it. You feel less a sense of exultation when they do well and more a sense of relief because the bets are so big now.” This season is particularly risk-adverse. Out of the 33 films coming from the major

studios, only 12 aren’t a sequel, reboot or based on an already popular property, such as a videogame or best-seller. Take comedy and horror out of the equation and you’re left with just a handful of originals. One of them is Jodie Foster’s “Money Monster”
(May 13), a thriller about a brash financial news pundit taken hostage on the air, starring George Clooney and Julia Roberts. Foster’s film is doubly rare. She’s one of only two female filmmakers helming major studio releases this summer.
Though equality remains a year-round issue for the movie business, the constricted summer months can reveal Hollywood at its most retrograde. “It’s interesting to me that the studio system still sees women as a risk,” says Foster, who wonders if women ultimately even want to inherit some of the kinds of films that dominate the summer. “There are movies that are part of the system we may not be that interested in embracing. I think that more women in the film business will look slightly different than it’s looked in the past for men.”
Paul Feig’s “Ghostbusters” reboot (July 15) was met by a backlash from some corners of the Internet that took offense to a new, female-led version starring four of the funniest comedic performers around: Melissa McCarthy, Kristin Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones. With that lineup, Feig relishes heading into “the big guns of summer.” “To put out a movie like this in the heart of tentpole season when it’s all these big movies out there, I find it very exciting because a lot of these movies are very male driven, even though they have some great female characters in them,” Feig says. “But to have this be about four incredibly funny people who just happen to be women, I think that’s really exciting.” This summer includes a number of anticipated sequels (“Finding Dory,” ‘’Star Trek Beyond,” ‘’Alice Through the Looking Glass”), the expected superhero films (“Civil War,” ‘’Suicide Squad,” ‘’X-Men: Apocalypse”) and some less likely resurrections (“The Legend of Tarzan,” ‘’BenHur,” ‘’Independence Day: Resurgence”). Recent history is clear: These will be among the summer’s biggest hits. Last summer (the second biggest ever with nearly $4.5 billion in box office), seven of the top 10 movies were remakes, sequels or came from a comic book. Ditto for four of the top five movies so far in 2016. Andy Samberg and his Lonely Island trio will be among the few to brave the sequel-strewn seas with something fresh: their celebrity See RULE on Page 11

Royal Bliss will perform with opening act Wayland at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 19, at the Eagles Lodge at 912 N. Main St. in Brigham City. Hailing from Salt Lake City, Royal Bliss has been making their mark for years with a consistent work ethic of writing, recording and touring that have helped build the success of the band. Their wide variety of
influences from Johnny Cash to Led Zeppelin and everything in between has helped to mold a sound that is uniquely theirs that cannot be denied. Royal Bliss started in a basement as kids who had a passion for music and a drive to succeed. Over the years their music has evolved from what would echo a late night frat party to now what they call “Heartland Rock,” a
musical cocktail that mixes lyrical themes that celebrate American life, dreams and love, all the while paying homage to their Southern and classic rock roots. Their “Heartland Rock” speaks to the common man, tells a story and rocks out with a good party crowd, all the while being delivered by the inimitable deep and See ROCK on Page 11

STUDENTS repurpose red, white and blue items for huge american flag
I
f you walk down the halls of Mountain Crest High School, you won’t be able to miss it. And for some, if you look close enough, you might recognize the cup or spatula or light saber that went missing from your home a while back. On Tuesday, Michael Bingham and his art class finished off a three-week project by mounting an American flag — a 10-feet-by-5feet sculpture made of found objects — above the hallway near the main entrance of the school. “As a teacher, I feel like we just need a better understanding of this national symbol,” said Bingham, the son of a U.S. Marine. “We need to understand that when we say the Pledge of Allegiance, we’re paying respect to a nation that’s so great and made up of so many different elements. To me this is a really good symbol for that.” And Bingham wasn’t alone. In fact, it was junior Cole Jenson and sophomore Jace Gunnell who were credited for coming up with the idea of recreating the Star-Spangled Banner. “I was just thinking like we need more patriotism in this school, and so I thought maybe a big American flag would kind of be cool,” Jenson said. Throughout the past eight years while teaching at Mountain Crest, Bingham’s classes have created visual pieces, often made of found objects, for display at the school. As this is to be his final year teaching at Mountain Crest before heading to Ridgeline High School, Bingham hoped to do something to leave a lasting mark in Hyrum. The assignment began three weeks ago. Bingham explained the project to his class, taking his students to look
at past projects, and allowed them to come up with possibilities. Everybody’s ideas were later narrowed down to 10, and finally the flag won out — beating, to Bingham’s relief, a horse sculpture where students could stick their gum on. “The whole class voted, and it was unanimous to do the American flag,” Bingham said. “I couldn’t have planned that any better.” The class was divided into pairs, each pair responsible for filling one of the 24 sections of the project with red, white and blue objects. “I just brought stuff from my mom’s kitchen, like a spatula or just some toys or something lying around the house that were red, white and blue,” Gunnell said. Some brought red Solo cups, flip flops, empty chip bags, Coke bottles, Dr. Pepper cans, playing cards and deodorant. Some brought white plasticware, cassette tapes, coffee lids, ice cube trays, rope, measuring spoons, Legos and a stormtrooper Pez dispenser. Others brought blue toy trucks, Planters peanut cans, Frisbees, markers, combs, glasses, and Pepsi cans. “I don’t like the word ‘junk,’” Bingham said. “I like ‘undiscovered treasures.’ So much of our society, people even, are forgotten or cast aside because they’re thought to be worthless. We’re going to take those unwanted things and each one of those is going to be valuable because without each individual part, this doesn’t happen.” The symbolism of coming together, both as a class and random objects combining to create the American flag, was not lost on Bingham or his students. “This country is made out of all kinds of people from all kinds of places with all kinds of interests and talents with all kinds of abili-

all make it what it is.” As the weeks went by, students continued to “borrow” things from their homes or bring in discarded objects headed for garbage cans, recycle bins or roadsides.

Tuesday morning after all the finishing touches had been made, objects re-glued to boxes and blank spaces touched up with paint, it was time for the installation. And, once again, it was a team effort. Bingham and a dozen students, clambering up and down a trio
of ladders, finally set the flag in its place near the entrance of the school. “Everybody pitched in and helped. It was cool to see it go from just being a bunch of boxes of random stuff to being the flag,” Gunnell said. “That was pretty cool.”
When the sculpture was set and the ladders put away and the students began heading back to class, other students and faculty members passing by in the hall stopped underneath the collection of red, white and blue, bringing a smile to Bingham’s face. “When I saw that the American
flag was one of the possibilities for the sculpture that would be a permanent part of Mountain Crest that you could even bring your kids to come see, I was pretty happy about that,” Bingham said. “It feels good to leave something else here in the school.”

‘The Big Bang Theory’ ‘Jungle Book’ continues leads CBS to victory strong run at box office NEW YORK (AP) — “The Big Bang Theory” was the comedy winner in television last week — by a landslide. The long-running CBS sitcom was seen by 14.1 million people last Thursday, easily the week’s mostwatched program, the Nielsen company said. The next closest comedy was CBS’ “Mom,” which had 8.3 million viewers. CBS was television’s most popular network, as it usually is unless one of its competitors is airing a special event. Nielsen, at a news conference Tuesday, unveiled data that illustrates how the myriad of ways people can watch television these days is boosting the viewership for some programs. Some programming, like sports, is almost always watched live, but that’s not the case with much prime-time entertainment. For example, for one episodic
drama — Nielsen would not reveal the specific show — 61 percent of viewers saw it either live or on DVR within a week, 25 percent saw between eight and 25 days, and 14 percent saw it between 36 and 121 days. Nielsen hadn’t previously revealed viewership so distant from a show’s original airing. While reality shows and serial dramas are commonly watched live or quite close to when they originally air, self-contained dramas and comedies have a better chance of being watched weeks if not months after they are shown for the first time. The people who do this kind of time-shifting are likely to be younger — just the kind of audience television advertisers want to reach, Nielsen said. CBS won last week in prime time, averaging 7.5 million viewers.
NEW YORK (AP) — Disney’s “The Jungle Book” trounced a handful of underperforming new releases to rule the box office for a third consecutive week, while next week’s certain champ, “Captain America: Civil War,” began setting records overseas. Jon Favreau’s liveaction Rudyard Kipling adaptation earned $42.4 million in its third week at North American theaters, according to studio estimates Sunday. One of the year’s biggest hits, “The Jungle Book” has now totaled $684.8 mil-
lion globally. The weekend’s debuts withered under the stampede of “The Jungle Book.” Keegen-Michael Key and Jordan Peele’s feline action-comedy “Keanu” opened with a modest $9.4 million. That was a whisker behind “The Huntsman: Winter’s War,” which limped its way to $9.4 million in its second disappointing week of release. Warner Bros.’ R-rated “Keanu,” from the former Comedy Central stars of “Key and Peele,” cost only about $15 million to
make. In it, they play Los Angeles cousins who are led into a criminal underworld in their search for a lost cat. Garry Marshall’s latest holiday-themed romantic comedy, “Mother’s Day,” bowed with a weak $8.3 million despite the presence of stars Jennifer Aniston and Julia Roberts. Though Marshall’s “Valentine’s Day” opened with $56.2 million in 2010, audiences have since been less enthusiastic for his poorly reviewed Hallmark card See BOX on Page 10

apropos of nothing — Paul Rudd steals this movie with his effortless charm. He just pulls the rug right out from under Evans and Downey. It’s great. As far as filmmaking goes, the Russo brothers pack a lot of action into very little space. The airport set piece, which is featured all over the movie’s trailers, is quite something to behold. And still, the Russo brothers lend themselves to slapdash action scenes that would shine if they were given the least bit of camera steadiness. There’s one scene, where Cap and the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) are fighting Iron Man. The camera is set back a few feet, and it just sits there, motionless, as Cap and his best friend take turns pummeling Iron Man. It’s an expertly choreographed sequence that makes you wonder how great the movie could be had every

While one wonders why, for heaven’s sake, the Russo brothers don’t invest in a Steadicam, “Captain America: Civil War” happens to be a fairly agreeable way to pass the time. The Avengers assemble yet again, only to divide among stark political ideologies. Holy crap! “Civil War” is a microcosm of the divisive political climate of our nation. An “Avengers” movie by any other name, “Civil War” might even feature more Iron Man than Cap, but that’s a chore for someone with a stopwatch and time to kill. Here Captain America (Chris Evans) and Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.) come face to face with the very real collateral damage they unwittingly spread as superheroes. This is something that DC’s new universe is still trying to understand, which was evident in the insipid way “Batman v Superman” dealt with it. The whole reason why Batman and Superman were fighting still seemed an afterthought. Superhero films have always suffered from a glut of visual chaos. A seemingly endless line of buildings to knock over like dominoes while the heroes vanquish aliens or monsters. “Civil War” finally finds a coherent thread of anguish that has been missing from superhero movies of the past. Cap, Iron Man and company have laid waste to large metropolitan areas without a second thought for public property or incidental civilian deaths. Many of these movies simply skirt this issue by ignoring the

When considering the entire catalogue of Marvel movies, which should probably be viewed as a very expensive television series, “Civil War” provides the most theoretical substance. It’s not necessarily deep or moving, but at least it’s trying to say something rather than just destroying cities while quipping.

mer movie season, Steven Spielberg, will also be in the mix with “The BFG” (July 1), his Roald Dahl adaptation that reteams the director with Mark Rylance. The recent Oscar-winner plays the titular giant in a motion capture performance. “The exciting thing about ‘The BFG’ is the combination of Roald Dahl, who’s just a superb storyteller, with Steven and (late screenwriter) Melissa Mathison,” says Rylance. “It took five years to get made because of course initially many studios said: ‘Giants eating kids? I don’t think so!’ That edge of Roald Dahl, that frightening edge, I hope is still in there. There’s a kind of marvelous, frightening aspect to the fantasy as there is in the Tolkien books or the Grimm fairy tales that children can handle.” Family audiences will be especially

sought after by the likes of “The Secret Life of Pets,” ‘’Ice Age: Collision Course” and “Pete’s Dragon.” One much smaller film, “Life, Animated” (July 8), will hope to sway moviegoers from the blockbusters while simultaneously reminding them of the power of movies. The documentary, directed by Roger Ross Williams, is about an autistic young man, Owen Suskind, who found language through his love of Disney animated classics. “It’s rare that you create a film like this that generations can enjoy together,” says Williams. “In the summer this is an alternative where families can go together and see it and hopefully be inspired and uplifted.” To be uplifted rather than pummeled at summer movie theaters would indeed be almost radical change of pace.
