FROM THE EDITOR According to Wikipedia, ‘“The Simpsons” is an American animated sitcom created by Matt Groening for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series is a satirical depiction of a middle class American lifestyle epitomized by the Simpson family, which consists of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie. The show is set in the fictional town of Springfield and parodies American culture, society, television, and many aspects of the human condition.” OK. That saved me a little time trying to describe what the longest-running sitcom,

animated program and scripted prime time TV series in American history is. Now you should know that FXX is currently airing all 522 episodes of “The Simpsons” in order. The marathon started on Thursday morning and will end on Labor Day. That’s a dozen days, which makes it very unlikely that anyone will actually be able to watch the entire marathon. It’s also way too much for my DVR to handle, so I’m just planning to tune in from time to time when I have the urge to watch some TV. It will be like the NCAA Tournament, only with yellow, four-fingered people instead of highly skilled college basketball players. I was first introduced to “The Simpsons” sometime in 1990. Because FOX

wasn’t available in these parts in those early days, my brother, who was living in L.A. at the time, would record a VHS tape full of episodes and mail them to me. I have to admit, I pretty much wore those video tapes out, then I started making my own after FOX finally came to Utah. Now, even though I have the first 15 seasons on DVD, I still record a lot of “Simpsons” reruns just because it’s easier to use my DVR than actually get off the couch and put in a DVD. That sounds a little sad and lazy now that I write it. But what do you expect? I’ve been watching Homer Simpson “in action” for the last quarter of the century. — Jeff Hunter

Sequel gets even darker, more violent than original

By Aaron Peck Cache movie critic

Perhaps nothing truer is spoken in “Sin City: A Dame to Kill For” than the final words growled by sweet Nancy Callahan (Jessica Alba). “This rotten town. It soils everybody,” she says. That it does. Frank Miller’s decadent waste of squalid projects and power hungry mongrels doesn’t provide a clean break for anyone involved, most of all, the audience. When Miller and Robert Rodriguez teamed up for the first “Sin City,” we were lost in its lurid visual style and its pure unadulterated pulp. It was a fresh way to approach a comic book movie. Something we hadn’t seen before. The second “Sin City” fails to build on the first. Too much sameness, and not enough done to distinguish itself from its predecessor. For the first half hour or so, “Sin City 2” is delightfully full of itself. Inner monologues full of ridiculously verbose prose pour from the screenplay without anyone even cracking an ironic smile. The visuals are bathed in stark blacks, shimmering whites, with pops of color here

Joseph Gordon-Leavitt is among the many stars found in “Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.”

and there to remind us, well, that they can also showcase color if they want. The main players are introduced each in their own blood-soaked vignettes, which all revolve around different parts of Sin City: Old Town, The

Projects and Kadie’s Club Pecos. Mickey Rourke reprises his role as Marv, the ugliest but hardest head in town. Joseph GordonLevitt is presented as Johnny, the luckiest man around. Dwight (Josh Brolin) is a private investigator

caught in a hypnotic obsession with the mysterious Ava (Eva Green). Each story intersects somehow. Marv floats in and out of the storylines, more or less, beating people to a pulp. As with the last movie, this one is full of well-known costars like Rosario Dawson, Powers Boothe, Dennis Haysbert, Ray Liotta, Jeremy Piven and Christopher Lloyd. Every one of them playing their parts with as much seriousness as they can muster because there is no happiness in Sin City, only blood and regret. See CITY on Page 10

erature. Both an intimate family drama and explosive political commentary, Lear explores ... the

most basic questions of human existence: love and duty; friendship and betrayal; leadership and

loyalty; destiny and the overwhelming inevitability of a life nearing its end.”

The Bridger Folk Music Society presents a concert with Claudia Nygaard at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23, at Crumb Brothers Artisan Bread, 291 S. 300 West. Tickets are $13 and are available via PayPal at www.bridgerfolk. org, by contacting Sue at susanjelus@gmail. com or by texting (435) 535-1408) or you take your chances at the door. Seating is limited; advance purchase is recommended. The concert is cosponsored by Import Auto. Nygaard’s captivating storytelling overflows from her songwriting into her live performance. With a voice like amber

honey and a twinkle in her eye that makes the entire audience feel she is sharing a secret with them alone, she takes them on an emotionally fearless journey with stories that expose a rare vulnerability and tenderness one moment, then a quick wit and an outlandish, irreverent sense of humor the next. Her songs move from heartfelt to humorous and from scrappy to sensual, and all the while the stories she tells in between them are as entertaining as the songs themselves.

Artists in harmony with nature and its bounty are invited to participate in the Brigham City Museum’s Utah Plein Air 2014 competition and exhibition. Painting “en plein air” — a French expression for creating artworks outdoors — started in Rome in the 17th century and eventually made its way around the world. The competition is open to all ages no matter where they live. Artworks can be two-dimensional or three-dimensional, in any media and must be produced outdoors in Utah with no studio retouching.

It’s hardly a spoiler to say much of the film takes place in a hospital, and the combination of pretty girl, hospital corridors and voiceovers recalls nothing so much as an extra-long episode of “Grey’s Anatomy” (Meredith Grey even had an episode where she, too, crossed over into that middle ground between life and death.) There’s no question that you’ll cry at some point during this film. Beautiful young people on the brink of death will do that. But the film could have done much better with a dry-eyed editor for that dialogue.

Artist talks on painting New Horizons Orchestra “Sermon on the Mount,” a painting by Lutheran artist Carl Bloch, will be the focus of an upcoming presentation given by local artist Michael J. Bingham. The presentation, which is open to the public, is at 7 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 24, at an LDS stake center located at 1850 N. 400 East in North Logan. There will also be an open house from 8 to 9 p.m. Bingham will share what he has discovered about “Sermon on the Mount” as he has studied the painting on and off for the last seven years. “There’s all kinds of interesting symbolism and ideas in this painting,” Bingham said in a recent interview with The Herald Journal. In addition to symbolism, Bingham has also found geometry in “Sermon on the Mount.” Bingham’s geometric overlays for “Sermon on the Mount” were included in the iPad tour of Brigham Young University Museum of Art’s “Sacred Gifts” exhibit, which included this painting. He will discuss those overlays and

more Sunday. Part of his purpose with this presentation, Bingham says, is “to show that there’s more to art than what we usually get out of it at a passing glance.”

Are you someone who finally has time available to use just for yourself? Many seniors have spent their entire lives dedicated to taking care of family and career responsibilities. Now is your time. This is the chance you probably never thought would come to you, an opportunity to learn to play violin, viola, cello or bass in an orchestra. New Horizons is coming to Cache Valley. This orchestra is primarily designed for adults, 40 and older. Participants may be true beginners, people who have not played in years or adults who have already begun to take lessons on a string instruments. Founded in 1991 at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York, by Roy Ernst, the New Horizons concept is now an

international organization with participating groups found in cities all over the world. There are no tryouts, no grades; just adults coming together to experience the joy of making music together. The fall trimester in Cache Valley will begin Sept. 15 and end Dec. 10. Rehearsals will be held from noon to 2 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays at the Bullen Center, 43 S. Main St. Cost is $130 per trimester. A New Horizons Orchestra open house will be held from noon to 2 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 3, at the Bullen Center.

some such thing. It’s a uniquely American movie, however. A movie that requires intricate knowledge about football and its idiosyncrasies to make any kind of sense. Since that’s the case, director Thomas Carter has seen fit to include play-byplay announcers for every football game sequence in order to explain exactly what’s happening on screen. For those who don’t understand football, the announcing won’t make sense. For those who do understand football, the announcing becomes tedious and unnecessary. Caviezel is just as stoic and reserved as he’s ever been. He portrays Coach Lad as a soft-spoken teacher. The ideal mentor for young, troubled youth to emulate. He’s too squeaky clean to be taken seriously, but that’s how it goes when basing a movie off of a true sports story. Everything is polished to a shine.

The urge to start chanting “Quack, quack, quack!” was almost too strong to ignore during the screening of “When the Game Stands Tall.” The football version of “The Mighty Ducks” has all the phony sentimentality you’d want from an inspirational sports movie. In this case it’s based on the true story of the De La Salle High School football team in California that, under the tutelage of Coach Bob Ladouceur (Jim Caviezel), went on an unparalleled 151-game winning streak. To the movie’s credit, it isn’t about the rise of the team over those years of impossible winning. It’s about what happens to the team after they finally crumble under the weight of their own pride and blow the streak. Coach Lad, as his players call him, is a serious coach. His life lessons become a mantra for his fellow players. Over the course of the streak he’s become a mythical figure within the community. Once the streak is broken, the pressure caves in and Coach Lad finds himself scrambling to find a way to save his team’s confidence. One of the biggest problems with “When the Game Stands Tall” is

‘King Lear’ is here, courtesy of Logan Y Logan Youth Shakespeare in closing in on its fifth year of existence this fall, and over that time the program has developed some very seasoned young thespians. So, program director Mary Jackson-Smith decided it was time for the troupe to take on one of Shakespeare’s more complex works — “King Lear.” “I wouldn’t have wanted to try it early on,” she said. “I wouldn’t have wanted to try it until I knew that they could convey some of the sensitive, interesting things in a comedy like ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’ that they did in the spring, or some of the really difficult and beautiful language in ‘King Richard II’ last summer. That they could take a play like that and make something so compelling out of it, that was a hint to me that they were ready to do something like this.” The Immortal Bard’s classic tale of jealousy, betrayal, politics and family dysfunction has been told and retold, not only in its original form, but also in a myriad of adaptations and inspired works. And for the young actors, its distinction from among Shakespeare’s other plays is noticeable. “This play is definitely different than the other plays — it’s intense, but it’s also got those times where it’s sad,” said Makayla Bair, who plays Lear’s oldest daughter Goneril in one of the dual casts. “It’s real life going on in a show. There’s some comedic Shake-

Youth Shakespeare see is not doing so well in his old age. She just wants to make him feel better. It’s really nice.” Strange also finds in her interpretation of Cordelia a chance to show Lear’s youngest daughter as someone who genuinely shows love and affection in deeds as well as words, which is something she can relate to. “I think that she just feels that actions speak louder than words, and I can see how that works,” Strange said. “I believe that when you want someone to know that you really love them, you should show it, and say it, but you need to show them that you love them. Like when you apologize to them, you need to show them that you’re really sorry and not just say it, so that I connect with.” Daniel Anderson, a 14-year-old who attends Logan High School, plays Kent along with In-Tech Collegiate High School student Ben Lewis. Anderson found a lot to respect in the character of Kent, even if the straightforwardness of the role provided a bit of a challenge. “I had a harder time finding out what to do unique for Kent this time,” he said. “For Kent, it was really hard to find out how to do things differently, to actually create an arc throughout the play. It was very hard to do it with Kent, because throughout the play, all of his lines are just about honesty and doing the right thing. And you really

want to find out how to make those lines different from one another, so that was the biggest challenge I’ve had.” “King Lear” has been perhaps the most successful production in Logan Youth Shakespeare’s history, as the company added two shows earlier this week besides the four planned performances. “I was astounded opening night,” Mary Jackson-Smith said. “We had to add a bunch of chairs. We had people coming up from elsewhere in the state that had heard of the program and wanted to see an uncut Shakespeare play. That was cool and surprising. There were people who were just driving through Logan and had stopped at a motel, and they saw the sign on the marquee and came to the show. “I promised the kids when we started talking about this play ... that if we sold out a show on opening weekend that we would add shows. Because when you’re putting in this kind of effort, it’s disappointing to only perform twice, because there’s two casts. ... Actually the show Monday night ... man, it was fabulous; the kids were really incredible. It was such a good show.” You still have two chances to catch Logan Youth Shakespeare’s production of “King Lear” and judge for yourself, with performances tonight and Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Bullen Center.

The event is presented by the Cache Valley Historical Society and Cache Valley Visitors Bureau. “It’s such a great opportunity for the public to appreciate our area history and the hard work the home owners have done to preserve this rich architectural heritage,” says Julie Hollist, director of the Cache Valley Visitors Bureau. Seven of the properties on this year’s tour are on the prestigious National Register of Historic Places and were built in the 1800s and early 1900s. They represent architectural styles ranging from Pioneer Adobe to Queen Anne Victorian. While updated for modern living, the homes have retained many of their original historic features and contain original and period furnishings. Some have ingenious landscaping designs. “These historic homes have so much character. We invite

people to come and see the innovation, ingenuity and hard work of the current residents who have graciously opened their homes for others to enjoy,” says Bernice McCowin, committee chair. This year’s featured homeowners and locations are: Kirk and Jennifer Weiler, 338 W. 100 South; John and Annette Harder, 374 W. 100 South; Pam Riley and Bryan Spykerman, 470 W.
