FROM THE EDITOR Well ... Labor Day is coming up, for better or worse.

As magnificent as the fall in Cache Valley can be, it’s also extremely hard to say goodbye to long, warm days. It also means that my summer-long pursuit of license plates is coming to an end.

As I wrote in this space in early July, I thought it would be interesting to see how many different states I could see — with my own eyes — while driving around Cache Valley.

And, as often is the case when playing

the license-plate game in a place such as Yellowstone National Park, the first couple of hours (or days) were downright thrilling. I found myself actually hoping to get caught at traffic lights along Main Street just so I’d have a chance to write down “Tennessee” and “Wisconsin” without driving into oncoming traffic.

But as time went on and I got all the easy Western states and those with huge populations like Florida and New York, my license-plate quest turned into a real grind.

After racking up half the states in just four days, the final 10 were slow going, stretching over nearly a three-week period.

July 5 (Maine, South Dakota and Vermont) and July 13 (Indiana and Virginia) were pretty good days, while Alabama,

Nebraska, Vermont, Michigan and Massachusetts came by themselves on other days.

After a while, I have to admit my eyes started returning to the upper halves of oncoming vehicles rather than the front bumper, and I stopped driving through parking lots at hotels and truck stops. By the time the Utah Festival Opera and most the other big summer events around here came to an end, I had to surrender to the idea that I would never see that elusive Connecticut plate or either one of the Carolinas.

Thirty-five different states for a summer isn’t bad for this area, but in retrospect, I probably would have had more success just counting Arizona license plates.

— Jeff Hunter

What the fall has to offer

Keep an eye out for some familiar faces on the ’13-’14 TV schedule NEW YORK (AP) — There’s something antiquated about the custom long known as the Fall TV Season.

It was born of a bygone era (and still harkens back to it) when fall signaled all things important in America: the much-anticipated return to school, the resumption of football and the grand unveiling of next year’s car models.

It was an era of the Big Three. And not just General Motors, Ford and Chrysler, but also ABC, CBS and NBC, which each autumn launched their new shows with the stated intention of airing these dramas and comedies through much of the season to come.

This was an orderly, narrowly consigned TV world. So the Fall Season represented for viewers most of what they could expect to see in prime time Netflix. for months ahead, at least A half-century later, the until the “summer replaceFall Season persists — a ment” shows arrived the festival of premieres by following June. not three, but the five “Midseason” (a term even Fox boss Kevin Reil- self-designated broadcast “majors” (which somehow ly said recently he’d love includes the little-watched to ban) wasn’t part of the CW), with, some years, no lingo back then.

Nor, of course, were discernible dividing line terms like “cable netbetween the fall crop and works,” HBO, Hulu or the winter harvest.

“The only thing a lot of girls have to work on is walking differently and not standing with their hip out.”

dozen new series may already be familiar, at least by name, to viewers, since the networks have been flogging them all summer.

They are familiar to TV critics, too, who got early copies of many of the new shows as long ago as June (with the proviso from the networks that some of these episodes were “non-reviewable,” since they were subject to be altered in small or large ways before their premiere date — or even reshot completely).

After nursing her back to health, they had fallen undeniably in love. Unfortunately, their other resident dog was not so smitten.

‘The Butler’ remains on top with $17 million NEW YORK (AP) — “Lee Daniels’ The Butler” served up a second helping at the box office, topping the weekend with $17 million according to studio estimates Sunday.

That was enough to lead all films on a late August weekend known as a dumping ground for studios following their summer blockbusters and before the start of the fall moviegoing season. Daniels’ historical drama about a long-serving White House butler, starring Forest Whitaker and Oprah Winfrey, last weekend opened with $24.6 million for the Weinstein Co. Three new releases failed to catch on. The teen fantasy “Mortal Instruments: City of Bones,” adapted from the popular young adult book series, opened tepidly in third with $9.3 million on

the weekend and $14 million since opening Wednesday. With franchise hopes, Sony Screen Gems has already started production on a sequel, again starring Lily Collins as a New York teenager who discovers she has mystical powers.

Edgar Wright’s pubcrawl-gone-wrong comedy “The World’s End” opened with $8.9 million for Focus Features. That was a better start for “The World’s End,” which stars Simon Pegg, than Wright’s last film with the actor: 2007’s “Hot Fuzz.” It opened with $5.8 million.

Playing in 1,549 theaters, “The World’s End” did its business in less than half the theaters of “The Butler” or “Mortal Instruments.”

Despite good reviews, Lionsgate’s home-invasion horror flick “You’re Next” opened weakly with $7.1 million.

With a cumulative total of $52.3 million, “The Butler” is headed for a

domestic haul of $100 million. It has followed the release pattern of another movie about race and domestic service: the 2011 drama “The Help,” also released in August.

The Weinstein Co. hopes that “The Butler” will similarly lead to Oscar nominations.

The Reel Place Aaron Peck

There are bad movies and then there are spectacularly bad movies.

“Getaway” is, without a doubt, somewhere near the pinnacle of spectacularly bad movies.

It’s an insanely inane, queasy quasi-thrill ride. It’s a movie so obsessed with its own perceived awesomeness that it doesn’t take a moment to look in the mirror and realize that everything it’s doing is completely ludicrous.

On some level, maybe “Getaway” is to be commended because it’s so aggressively awful. Though, those commendations aren’t going to come in this review.

The movie begins cryptically. A gruffly accented voice orders a man to get into a car and drive. The man is Brent Magna (Ethan Hawke), a washed up race-car driver who apparently still has skills to outrun dozens and dozens of police cars. Brent is told that his wife has been kidnapped and that he must do what the mysterious voice says or his wife will die.

Right from the beginning “Getaway” has a direct-to-video look and feel. It’s cheap and shoddily filmed. Director Courtney Solomon tries his best to make us believe that the movie is some kind of hybrid found-footage film, but nobody’s buying it. The car that Brent gets into has been wired with cameras so the dastardly dude on the other end of the phone line can see exactly what Brent is up to. These cameras

work marvelously well, except for when the plot inexplicably forgets that the cameras are there allowing Brent to get the upper hand when the time is right.

At some point Brent is joined by The Kid (Selena Gomez). She’s a rich-girl tech wizard who spends most of the time shooting off one-liners that would make teenage girls groan and looking like she’s going to hurl as Brent navigates the streets of Bulgaria with reckless abandoned.

I’m sorry. I have to stop trying to frame the plot, because this movie is so ridiculously awful that writing the word “plot” is

giving it too much credit.

“Getaway” is an illusion.

Sure, there are images on the screen, moving

around for 90 minutes or so, but that doesn’t mean it’s an action movie.

Oh yes, there is a lot of crunching metal and plenty of screeching tires as Brent barrels down city streets revving the engine of his newly stolen Shelby Cobra Mustang.

But, it all turns out to be a big, giant fake. Whatever

Action!

action the movie thinks it’s portraying is hidden beneath a mountain of attention-deficit editing and nonsensical camera work. Save for one tiny glimmer of hope near the end — a somewhat lengthy tracking shot that appears to have been directed by someone entirely different — there is never one shot that lasts more than a second.

Not one. As you watch “Getaway” you can literally count “one one-thousand,” and every time you finish that sentence the shot cuts to some other chaotic close-up.

The car chases here aren’t so much chases as they are streams of unintelligible mayhem,

sprinkled with earsplitting sound effects.

Any real action and choreography is utterly lost in the void of unrelenting bedlam, which never ceases.

Never, at any point in the movie, does any part of it make sense.

Electronic devices might as well be possessed with magical properties since The Kid does things with an iPad that are outright absurd. “Hey, it’s a good thing I had this nifty app that loops video footage. I knew I’d need it sometime!”

At one point in the movie Brent finds himself about to be apprehended by the police.

He quickly thinks of a way to get out of his jam. He slyly responds, “I can’t believe that worked.” That simple sentence describes just about every plot device in the movie. Sadly, it doesn’t describe the movie as a whole. Nothing works here. Absolutely nothing.

For the Love of

SHAKESPEARE

E

ver since the fall of 2009, young Cache Valley thespians have been cutting their acting teeth on some pretty heady material as part of Logan Youth Shakespeare. This summer, the troupe, which consists of young actors from 9 to 19 years of age, took on “The Tragedie of King Richard II.” And as Mary Jackson-Smith, director of both the play and the youth program, explained, there’s a lot in that particular play for young people to work with, starting with its artistic aspects. “‘Richard II’ is beautiful,” JacksonSmith said of the production which ended its run at the Carousel Room in the Bullen Center on Aug. 26.

“It’s one of Shakespeare’s only plays that’s all in verse — the whole thing is poetry.”

But beyond just its artistic and poetical merit, there’s also a lot in the story of King Richard that has strong appeal on a personal level, particularly for younger people. Richard II was born into royalty and became king of England at the age of 9. As monarch, he became known more for lavish parties, high fashion and opulent living than for wise rule. Finally, at age 30, Richard is overthrown in a coup by his cousin, Henry Bolingbroke, who becomes Henry IV. Left without his title, his wealth, his friends — who were all executed — and his family, Richard has to figure out exactly who he is as a person.

“It’s a really interesting thing, and kids go through this kind of thing all the time, especially when they’re in middle school,” Jackson-Smith said.

“In high school, everything changes.

Their friends all leave; their families break up. Maybe they were the smartest kid in their class, and then they go to the high school and, whoops, they’re not the smartest kid anymore. Or maybe they’re the star of the soccer team, and they get injured and it’s like, oops,

Story by Chuck Nunn • Photos by Eli Lucero that’s gone. There’s a lot in this for them to relate to.”

For the actors, both the play and the whole experience as a part of Logan Youth Shakespeare are very relatable.

Cameron Neeley, a 16-year-old who goes to Sky View High School, has been a part of the program for two years, although he’s done theater since the fifth grade. He plans on attending Southern Utah University as a theater major.

“I’ve had a lot of fun, honestly,” Neeley said. “I’ve gotten friends from it. Honestly, I wasn’t very much in the social circles at my school before. But then I joined Shakespeare, and I got more friends. It sounds weird, but I felt a part of something. I felt in something, felt

accepted, that kind of thing.”

Along with the social benefits of being part of the company, Neeley also enjoys what he observes in performing live theater in front of an audience, particularly with “Richard II.” “You get to learn a lot about people, about how they react in certain situations, when you perform Shakespeare in front of a crowd, because you go through a whole range of emotions watching Richard,” he said. “Like, you start off hating Richard, and then you progress, and you’re like, wait, he’s not that bad of a guy. And you get to see the audience reaction to that.”

“It also helps a lot with school, because we read Shakespeare in English and it’s a total snap. Like especially if we read plays we’ve already performed, its so much easier. English is not even a class that I have trouble with at all anymore.”

Books Paterniti chronicles more than cheese

Kevin Begos Associated Press

What makes a great cheese? The skill of the cheesemaker, the freshness of the raw milk, or perhaps the variety of grass and herbs the animals ate?

Michael Paterniti’s “The Telling Room” suggests one more secret ingredient: weaving all those elements into a story that’s savored just like the cheese itself.

“The Telling Room” is ostensibly about “the world’s greatest piece of cheese,” yet it’s also “a tale of love, betrayal, and revenge.”

But telling the story of Paramo de Guzman cheese turns out to be far more difficult than

Paterniti — or his wife and editors — ever expected. The book begins with a chance encounter over 20 years ago: a passing reference to the semi-mythical cheese in a foodie newsletter. That turns into a plan to visit the tiny, remote Spanish town where the cheesemaker has mysteriously stopped making a product that kings and celebrities had praised.

Then the real story — and trouble — begins.

Paterniti doesn’t just drop into the harsh but picturesque countryside to harvest some colorful dialogue and then knock out a slow-food tome that praises the heroically pure cheesemaker. He moves to the village with his wife and two young children, and the story gets

richer but murkier, too.

Was cheesemaker Ambrosio Molinos ruined by the betrayal of his best friend, or was he also just a terrible businessman?

What’s behind some of the terrible blood feuds of the Spanish Civil War era that literally left bones

of innocents buried in the fields around the village?

Along the way Paterniti confronts his own doubts.

Is he there to celebrate a legendary cheese, uncover wrongdoing, or soothe his own doubts about living in a modern world that praises slow food with a lifestyle that’s the opposite — manic tweets, blogs and life measured in seconds and minutes, not years?

After more than 15 years of work, as the project is about to collapse in failure, Paterniti realizes he has one of the most precious and elusive storytelling elements of all: the perspective of time.

Just as the late New Yorker writer Joseph Mitchell immersed himself with the people he wrote about until they revealed their

Hurwitz delivers a very Circuit exciting ‘Tell No Lies’

By Jeff Ayers Associated Press A race to stop a killer begins when a piece of mail is delivered to the wrong person in “Tell No Lies,” the latest thriller from Gregg Hurwitz.

Daniel Brasher gave up a highpaying job to marry the woman of his dreams. She successfully battled a rare form of cancer and now works as a community organizer. They love each other and are happy together.

Then a piece of mail with no return address arrives in Daniel’s inbox at work. It warns him to admit what he’s done or he’ll bleed for it.

There’s a deadline, but that deadline has passed. Daniel shows the letter to his wife. They search for the recipient’s name on the Internet and discover that he’s been murdered. Other pieces of mail with deadlines are delivered to Daniel’s inbox. He must convince the police that the threats are real.

Hurwitz has a gift for creating characters and elaborate plots that start with something simple and then explode. In “Tell No Lies,” the setting is San Francisco instead of his usual Los Angeles area, and he wraps the story in the landscape of the region, making the city a character as well.

Menace, treachery and intrigue have never been more exciting.

Continued from Page 6 And he’s not allowed to communicate with Claudia. This is easy at first, since the two happen to be estranged lovers.

They’re ambitious enough not to reveal their past romantic entanglement and thus get removed from the case. But if they’re found out, it could end their careers.

And nothing goes according to plan, of course. As the two are drawn together by circumstance as well as their obvious mutual attraction — this is a movie, remember, and lawyers are extremely attractive in movies, even in those odd

A strong contender for silliest new show — which means it might be first to go, or, on the other hand, run for years — is “Enlisted.” It’s a military comedy set in the not-so-funny modern age of war, with three brothers stationed on a small base in Florida. If there’s an issue of taste (are wars still being fought suitable for comedy?), this sitcom somewhat navigates it. Whether “Enlisted” is actually funny is another matter entirely.

NOT SO FUNNY Fox’s cop comedy “Brooklyn NineNine” arrives as perhaps the season’s biggest disappointment, not because it isn’t funny but because it doesn’t measure up to the comedic brilliance of its star, former “Saturday Night Live” player Andy Samberg, nor does it do right by its other leading man, the acclaimed dramatic actor Andre Braugher.

Arguably the most depressing new sitcom: NBC’s “Welcome to the Family,” which attempts to mine laughs from a Stanford University-bound whiz kid who learns his bubble-head girlfriend, who barely got out of high school, is pregnant with his child.

College plans for both of them are off, marriage and parenthood are on, and both sets of in-laws-to-be are distraught.

“The world’s most irresponsible person is now going to become a parent!” moans the pregnant girl’s dad.

This is funny? Or is it just sad?

And what about ABC’s comedy “Super Fun Night”? Its plus-size creatorstar Rebel Wilson (“Pitch Perfect,” ‘’Bridesmaids”) plays Kimmie, a lawyer who hangs out with her two best girlfriends every Friday night, to the exclusion of the rest of the world and its inhabitants — at least, until they decide to spice up their social lives.

But Wilson obliterates the comedy by overplaying it, using her heft as a comic blunt instrument. Like Kimmie, she just tries too hard to please.

It’s a familiar condition among the broadcast networks in their latest round of an aging tradition. For the Fall TV Season, there are too many new shows, with too many of them trying too hard to please.

“Summer”

“It’s Your Turn”

By Brandalyn Nunn

By William Humphrey

Comforting warmth envelopes me.

Midday rays surround.

A light breeze sways my locks.

It must be summer.

Time flows quickly, holidays pass.

Comforting warmth turns to scorching heat.

Days grow long and nights short.

The height of summer.

The solstice has passed, so summer can’t last.

Maybe it’s better to think of school.

It’s approaching fast. Too fast.

The end of summer.

The cool breeze teases memories of warm ones.

Leaves fall as the last comforting rays dissipate.

Slowly we all submit.

Memories of summer.

It’s your turn to run and hide, From the love you can’t abide.

You had your chance, To be my bride.

Then if you want me, Let me know.

Cause I will always, Love you so.

To share the love, I couldn’t hide.

And always be there, By my side.

We won’t have, much time to tarry.

You’re the girl, I want to marry
