Downey and Duvall make do with a weak script

– Cache Magazine movie critic Aaron Peck on ‘Dracula Untold’ (Page 7)

By Aaron Peck Cache movie critic

Perhaps the only thing going for “The Judge” is Janusz Kaminski’s throwback cinematography. It’s all soft focus and bleeding light. It’s almost as if you’ve been transported to a small town drama from the ’80s. It’s a quaint look.

A warm touch that engulfs you, drawing your attention away from how trite and stilted the script is. But there’s not nearly enough soft light to completely distract you from the fact that “The Judge” is one of the most terribly unoriginal movies of this year.

Hank Palmer (Robert Downey Jr.) is a big-time lawyer from the big city.

He takes the expensive clients. He’s not all that concerned with their guilt or innocence, just their checkbooks. After a prosecutor asks him if he gets tired of defending guilty people, Hank retorts “Nope. Innocent people can’t afford me.” The guy is Grade-A vermin. The type of lawyer who is the reason lawyer jokes were invented.

Downey Jr. is the perfect casting decision for the role. He’s Tony Stark without the Iron Man suit. His fast-paced “verbal vomit”

(as one character calls it) is something we’ve come to expect from him. He uses his quick wit and sardonic humor to deflect the demons haunting him. And boy, does he have demons.

Stop me if you’ve heard

this one before. So, the big city lawyer finds out his mother has just passed away, and he has to travel back to his small, rural hometown.

His father, the town’s loyal judge for the past 40-someodd years hates him. How

could he love a child that decided to grow up and defend the same scum he’s been trying to put away for years? Hank’s past is dredged up as he re-encounters his small-town life.

Maybe he’ll rediscover the magic of his hometown, or flee for the hills like he did before. Perhaps he’ll rekindle a past love? Maybe make up with those he’s wronged?

Yes, all this is handled in the movie in some way or another; and yes it’s just as See JUDGE on Page 11

CVCA brings in Colin and Brad Come see the stars of “Whose line Is It Anyway?” present “An Evening with Colin and Brad.”

The hilarious improvisational duo of Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood will perform at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 16, at the Ellen Eccles Theatre. Tickets start at $39 and will be sold at the Ellen Eccles Theatre Box Office at 43 S. Main St., online at cachearts.org or by calling 752-0026.

Using their quick wit, the Mochrie and Sherwood will take contributions from the audience to create hilarious and original scenes. Throughout the evening, the show becomes truly interactive as audience members are called to the stage to participate in the fun.

Both Mochrie and Sherwood can currently be seen on the new improv sketch comedy show, “Drew Carey’s Improv-a-Ganza” on the Game Show Network.

They also appear, performing more than 15 times a week, on Comedy Central and ABC Family. Their DVD entitled, “Two Man Group: Live and Dangerous Comedy” was released in March 2011.

The two share almost 50 years in comedy. Mochrie began his improv career when first introduced by a friend to Ryan Stiles, and the two quickly teamed up. Shortly after doing Expo ’86, Colin moved to Toronto and auditioned for Second City, the famous North American comedy troupe where Stiles worked. Mochrie got the job and worked at Second City for three years.

His first appearance on the British version of “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” was in 1991. His role on the American “Whose Line” got off to a rocky start when ABC wanted to drop Mochrie; they thought he looked too old and was not See CVCA on Page 12

Belly Dance Company and the BBoy Federation Urban Dance and hip-hop group, then topped off with dance music from local band The Raindogs.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Given its premise, “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day” could have been a lot more horrible and no good than it is. In fact, at a quick 82 minutes, this straightarrow family comedy about a day when misfortune comes to visit and stays awhile goes down relatively painlessly if one considers the repetitive nature of the pranks and pitfalls and the predictable message about family togetherness prevailing over adversity; just think, gang, we could be living in Syria.

Thirty-two-page children’s books with 18-syllable titles that are basically about one thing aren’t the easiest properties to adapt into feature-length scripts, which may be why it took 42 years for someone to figure out how to handle Judith Viorst’s perennial, which has sold more than four million copies since its publication in 1972 and has spawned three sequels, the latest published this

‘Dracula Untold’

** (

— an extended prologue.

The sequel-hopeful ending doesn’t help matters. It simply seems to discard everything that went before, and says, “Now, this is where we wanted to be all along.”

Do they call the sequel “Dracula Been There Done That”?

The worst indictment that the movie could receive is the uproarious laughter that came from the audience during some of the movie’s more serious moments.

It’s clear the audience wasn’t expecting something transcendent, but when a movie is trying everything it can possibly think of to make it really feel, and the gut reaction is to laugh, something’s definitely wrong. “Dracula Untold” really should’ve taken its cue from “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.” Don’t treat this subject matter so seriously. You’re not making “Interview with a Vampire.” You’re making a movie where a guy uses a giant cloud of bats to fight an army.

Lighten up a little.

Bet you didn’t know that Dracula was just a good guy trying to do the right thing. Usually we picture the Transylvanian bloodsucker sleeping in a coffin in the crypt of his remote castle. How did he get that way, though?

How did he become a monster? “Dracula Untold” tries to answer that story with one of the most unintentionally hilarious horror movies in quite a while.

It’s 1442, and the Turks are bad, bad people.

Picture the Persians from “300” with less fantastical monsters in the army. The Turks are well on their way to conquering Europe. One of their warring practices includes taking young boys from surrounding villages and molding them into deadly warriors who will be utterly subservient to the sultan. Vlad (Luke Evans) was such a child. Taken from his royal parents and trained by the Turks, Vlad gained a nickname which stemmed from his penchant for propping people up on wooden stakes: Vlad the Impaler.

After the wars, Vlad returns home, sets up his kingdom and endeavors to live in peace. All those stakes through all those people were just a means to an end. He was never really a bad guy, just a nice guy asked to do bad things. Apparently.

Only now, Sultan Mehmed (Dominic Cooper) wants to bring back the traditions of his father and take more sons for his army. Vlad is against the idea, mostly because now he has a son of his own whom he doesn’t want to give up, but he doesn’t have the army to refuse the

Local sculptor James DeGraffenried strives to crea Whether it’s the towering statue of former chairman of the Federal Reserve Marriner S. Eccles at the Utah State Capitol, Winter Olympians skiing and skating at City Creek Center or Cache Valley farmers hard at work, Logan sculptor Mark DeGraffenried feels like he’s recording history.

The Utah Valley native who won statewide acclaim in Alaska for his first sculpture as a high school student some 30 years ago has gone on to craft some of the most interesting pieces of artwork in the Beehive State — though you might not know it if you’re one of those people caught up in your smartphone while you’re out and about.

“My sculptures are not just a piece of artwork, they’re a documentation of our times, our values, things that are important to us as a society; they’re kind of a recording of time,” DeGraffenried says. “I think people just walk by and they don’t see. We become absorbed in our own space and we don’t venture out of that. It doesn’t really bother me. If one person out of thousands looked at it and felt the emotions that I poured into it, I would feel like I was a successful artist.”

DeGraffenried received a bachelor’s degree with honors from Utah State University in 1993. Since then, he’s gone on to create sculptures full-time, completing several pieces pretty much every year for the last 20 years. Those works include several large-scale bronze commissions, where a group of people provide direction for the project.

Notable commissioned work by DeGraffenried includes the Eccles statue at the state capitol building, as well as at the Federal Reserve Building in Washington, D.C., and the memorial dedicated to the van crash victims at Utah State University, located outside the Agricultural Sciences Building.

“Often times I have to compartmentalize my career when I do a commis-

sion,” he explains. “They (the commissioning party) have a specific idea of what they want.”

DeGraffenried had an idea for the Eccles statue in Washington, D.C. — an 8-foot-tall piece — but was told to downsize because that sculpture would be inside the building. So, the Logan artist swapped his original idea with a small-scale design and used his original idea for the Utah State Capitol, which stands outside.

DeGraffenried says a photograph of Eccles, a Logan native, walking with his hat in hand and coat over his arm was the inspiration for the sculpture at the capitol.

“I thought it’s a great image,”

DeGraffenried says. “He brought America out of a colder, darker time — like you would wear your coat and hat in the morning when it’s cold and dark, but in the afternoon, it’s warmed up and you don’t need those things any more. So, it was kind of a metaphor for bringing America out of the Depression to a brighter future. I thought that was a great symbol of his contribution to America.”

DeGraffenried’s greatest satisfaction as an artist is working on memorials — often commissioned work — and such was the case for USU van crash memorial. In 2005, a professor and eight students were killed when their vehicle overturned on the highway as they returned from a field trip.

Only two people survived the crash.

DeGraffenried believes such monuments are “not so much for the people who are lost but for the families.”

The commission behind the memo-

rial wanted a sculpture that would not depict USU agriculture students as “hicks,” the Logan sculptor notes.

“What we wanted to do with the (agriculture) memorial was create a piece of artwork that would be timeless, that would not only be a representation of the individuals lost in that tragedy but also be a representation of what they wanted to accomplish in their life, what inspired them to study agriculture,” DeGraffenried says.

The Logan sculptor makes it a common practice with memorials to let the families help in physically crafting them — to a point. For the van crash memorial, DeGraffenried let a young widow smooth out the wedding band sculpted on her husband’s hand.

But the most moving moment of that sculpting experience came when the sculpture was unveiled in 2012 after the Agricultural Sciences Building was completed.

The father of crash victim Curt Madsen came up to DeGraffenried and embraced him.

“He expressed his thanks and said it really helped him have closure,” DeGraffenried says. “I felt like I had achieved something that was kind of my purpose.”

DeGraffenried didn’t think about involving families in his project all on his own. His father, a brick layer, began the practice when DeGraffenried was a boy.

“People want to take ownership,” he explains. “Ultimately, when you look at art, art is a representation of personal expression that you try to communicate with other people. The message that I would like to convey is something that uplifts people, improves their lives, brings joy and happiness.”

DeGraffenried laughs as he explains that he isn’t one for “shock value” in modern art.

“All of us are on a course of improvement, learning and understanding, and anything that I can do to express an idea visually that will help other people in their journey gives me great satisfaction.”

Eccles in the Federal Reserve Building in Washington, D.C.; “Light and Knowledge” at the Mountainland Technology College in Lehi; a life-sized portrait of LDS Church founder Joseph Smith; an 8-foot-tall statue of Eccles at the Utah State Capitol; and a sculpture entitled “Legacy” on display at the Maritime Museum in Liverpool, England.

Wry humor permeates ‘A Demon Summer’

By Oline H. Cogdill Associated Press

G.M. Malliet continues to update the traditional British village mystery in her highly entertaining “A Demon Summer.” While the village of Nether Monkslip is typical, the twist that Malliet spins so well is that the local vicar, Max Tudor, was a former agent with MI5, the British counterintelligence agency.

While this conceit might seem a bit too precious, Malliet’s respect for the genre seamlessly makes Max’s former career a natural part of the plot.

Malliet’s series looks at how a former spy disillusioned with the job reinvents himself as an Anglican priest, as well as showing how a religious man administers to an increasingly secular world. Of course, these being mysteries, Max’s former occupation often comes in quite handy.

The fourth novel in this series offers a change in scenery as a nunnery stands in for the village. Max is asked by Bishop Nigel St. Stephen to take a brief break from his duties at St. Edwold’s Church to spend a few nights at Monkbury Abbey.

The bishop has taken a hands-off approach to the nunnery since the sisters have been fairly self-supporting.

But lately the bishop

suspects “financial shenanigans” because some large donations have gone missing. Then, the

despised Earl of Lislelivet became seriously ill after eating a fruitcake given to him by the sisters. The bishop worries that the poisoning wasn’t accidental, and he is relying on Max’s special skills as a spy to find the truth about the fruitcake and the abbey’s finances.

Max discovers that the religious atmosphere is rift with gossip and legends of buried treasure, and the nunnery is divided — some nuns want to modernize the abbey while others adamantly do not.

Wry humor permeates “A Demon Summer.”

MODEST FASHION MISSIONARY

BOGO

After all, haven’t most of us thought that fruitcakes were, in some way, lethal?

Yet Malliet also weaves in a serious subplot about families, devotion and the reasons that attract some people to a near cloistered life.

Each visit to Nether Monkslip with its mix of eccentric and ordinary residents has been a delight. “A Demon Summer” pays tribute to the village mystery while showing its relevance to modern times.

Judge Continued from Page 3 clichéd as it sounds.

Things become infinitely more complicated when Hank’s father Joseph Palmer (Robert Duvall), the day after his wife’s funeral, is arrested for hitting and killing a man in his car. Certainly the initial investigation isn’t what it seems. There are questions that need answering, and the coincidences begin to pile up exponentially. The father and son that hate each other are now thrown together in an unloving duo of lawyer and client.

Not once during its dreadfully long, 140-minute runtime does “The Judge” ever approach any originality whatsoever. The cast is over-the-top good, but some decent performances from some of Hollywood’s most seasoned actors still can’t drag this film out of the muck. Downey Jr. and Duvall have some nicely acted, scenery-chewing

scenes together, but no matter what they do, the script always loops back around to embrace blatantly obvious clichés.

As morose piano chords accompany each and every emotionally tinged moment, we realize that “The Judge” is never going to say anything new.

The script is never going to elevate itself above the big city guy returning to his hometown to learn life lessons.

Throw in some completely nonsensical subplots about — and I’m not making this up — Hank maybe making out with a young lady that could, in fact, be his daughter. No, I’m not joking. Yes, it’s as weird and off-putting as it sounds.

At times the bloated script, and its extraneous subplots, feel like a script writer’s attempt to incorporate everything from the novel it’s based on. Then you realize it isn’t based on a novel. It’s an original script. Then it all comes together that “The Judge” is simply lost in its own tedium. A stable of great actors stuck in a movie that isn’t worth their time.

Dallas Brass coming to the Eccles Theatre The Family and School series at the Ellen Eccles Theatre will start with a big, brass band bang at 7:30 p.m. Monday Oct. 20, with the talented brass ensemble Dallas Brass.

The national touring brass instrument group will perform with teenagers from the Mountain Crest and Logan high school bands. Tickets are $25 for adults, $15 for students and $8 for children under 12. Tickets can be purchased in person at 43 S. Main St., online at cachearts.org or by calling 752-0026.

“A Dallas Brass concert is intended for the entire family,” says

Dallas Brass director Michael Levine. “Our ideal audience has a range in ages from 5 to 95. Our goal is to entertain and enrich by playing great music, while showing our audience how much we enjoy what we do.”

Founded in Dallas in 1983 by Levine, Dallas Brass has become one of America’s foremost musical ensembles. The group has established a unique blend of traditional brass instruments with a full complement of drums and percussion, which creates a performing entity of extraordinary range and musical challenges.

Film Continued from Page 6 (featuring an unbilled Dick Van Dyke) that’s beset by a PG-lewd book misprint, and the lack of a baby sitter forces Ben to take baby Trevor along to meet his potential new bosses, who are half his age.

The arguable comic highlight is Anthony’s driving test, which is presided over by a farcically overbearing woman (Jennifer Coolidge). Kelly’s mishaps with her author’s event simply seem too preposterous to be funny, while the “Peter Pan” misadventures are similarly low-voltage.

On the other hand, the interplay between Ben and the gamer geeks is not unamusing, even if Ben’s toler-

ance for agreeably filling the role of a “fommy” (father-mommy) would seem to exceed ordinary limits. The homily-laden wrap-up, stressing the upside of bad days, is enough to make you hold your nose, but it only lasts a moment.

The cast is uniformly game and the filmmakers have thoughtfully included something at the end for all the moms who will drag the small fry to see this — a bunch of hunky Aussie cowboy strippers who begin performing before they realize they’re at a kid’s birthday party.

Drawing from this range of musical styles and experiences, Weyand creates a truly diverse and awe-inspiring experience with his pianistic approach to the guitar. He displays melody, harmony, bass lines, even percussion in stellar arrangements and compositions that fascinate audiences wherever he performs.

Weyand’s new CD is entitled “They Call me Dad: Songs for My Daughters.” Weyand composed and/ or arranged 11 pieces for guitar and violin which are dedicated to his three young daughters. It contains songs such as “Carry Me,” “Kiki’s Smile,” and “Crawling” that were written specifically for each of his daughters, as well as covers of songs that have special meaning to his girls. These include such tracks as “Time in a Bot-

tle” by Jim Croce, “Concerning Hobbits” from “The Lord of the Rings,” as well as others.

Family, friends and various life situations have played an important part in the inspiration that has led to Weyand’s style. Composing pieces about his daughters, wife and mother, for example, give his pieces a lot of meaning. Weyand’s style is all his own, because in his guitar performances he expresses pieces of his life story.

Weyand is the 2012 champion of the state of Utah Fingerstyle Guitar Competition. He holds the same title in Wyoming for 2008 and has drawn attention to his music.

National Fingerstyle Guitar Champion Chris Proctor says, “Austin plays imaginative, original pieces and arrangements for solo guitar with a fine technique and excellent tone. If you like solo acoustic guitar, my guess is that you’ll find his music right up your alley.”

Blair Larsen of the Bridger Folk Music Society says, “In concert, Austin creates an atmosphere of appreciation for his guitar technique, his creative compositions, and for the pure art of music.”
