FROM THE EDITOR I’m pretty jealous of Lafayette Houghton Bunnell. Here I am, a longtime writer and a photographer who recently made my fifth visit to Yosemite National Park, and I can’t come close to describing the beauty of the Yosemite Valley the way Bunnell did more 160 years ago. Part of the 57-member Mariposa Battalion, Bunnell was one of the first non-Native American men to visit that stunning area of California. After breaking off from the rest of the battalion to get a better view, Bunnell wrote:
“The grandeur of the scene was but softened by the haze that hung over the valley — light as gossamer — and by clouds that partially dimmed the highest cliffs and mountains. This obscurity of vision by increased the awe with which I beheld it, and as I looked, a peculiar exalted sensation seemed to fill my whole being, and I found my eyes in tears and emotion.” While I can’t say I was brought to tears during my most recent visit to Yosemite, I did experience one near perfect moment. While in San Francisco less than 24 hours earlier, I felt myself getting more and more anxious while being surrounded by so many people, all of whom seemed to be traveling the same steep and narrow roads at the same time that I was.
But I told myself that the following morning, I would be able to enjoy at least a few minutes of tranqulity along the Merced River and beneath the iconic face of El Capitan before Yosemite woke up. And I was right. The best time to out and about in any national park is before 8 a.m., and that autumn morning, nothing but a single mule deer was around as made my way along the Merced. While I didn’t find a way to describe the scene in the manner of Bunnell or John Muir, and I certainly didn’t take any photographs worthy of the great Ansel Adams, I was able to once again enjoy one of the most gorgeous vistas I’ve ever beheld in complete peace and quiet. — Jeff Hunter
Spielberg pulls three stories together in Hanks’ movie By Aaron Peck Cache movie critic
The title “Bridge of Spies” might be a bit misleading. That’s a title that conjures up James Bond imagery. Instead, Steven Spielberg’s latest — a slow-burning, based-on-atrue-story Cold War thriller — is anything but. That’s not to say it isn’t suspenseful and exciting. It is. But not in a conventional espionage thriller sort of way. From the opening sequence, a wordless catand-mouse “chase” between federal agents and suspected Russian spy Rudolf Abel (Mark Rylance) provides the perfect set up for the film’s tone. Spielberg lingers with the camera, building tension as Abel traverses the city with undercover federal agents in tow. After he’s caught, Abel is swiftly sent to trial for crimes of espionage against the United States. In order to provide Abel a “fair” hearing, lawyer James Donovan (Tom Hanks) is assigned to defend him. Donovan is dubious. With American-Russian relations almost at a breaking point and the threat of nuclear war seemingly just around the corner, Donovan doesn’t want to be seen as the defending face of an alleged spy. The duty and honor inherent in the justice system and

Donovan’s character makeup convince him to take the case. In what amounts to a kangaroo court, Donovan soon finds out he’s set up to fail. Abel needs to be shown that he’s getting a fair trial on the surface, but underneath the façade public opinion has already declared him guilty. A certain parallel can be drawn to any time
period in American history where hyper-sensitivity of the public’s current fears warps our collective sense of justice. Somehow Spielberg, using a marvelous script penned by Joel and Ethan Coen, is able to fit in not just one, but three interlocking stories. While Donovan is fighting the righteous, but
fruitless fight for Abel using Constitutional law, a secret plan is underway 70,000 feet above Russia. At this time in history, the United States has secretly rolled out the U-2 spy plane and has enlisted a handful of American pilots to fly high over the Soviet Union and take detailed pictures of their nuclear capabilities. During one of these flights, pilot Francis Gary Powers (Austin Stowell) is shot down and taken prisoner by the Russians.

‘The Martian’ remains on top at box office LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Pan” produced no Neverland magic at the box office. The fantasy, which cost an estimated $150 million to produce, earned $15.5 million in its opening weekend, according to Rentrak estimates Sunday making it one of the worst bombs of the year. Early tracking did not look promising for the Joe Wright-directed film but still preAP Photo dicted that “Pan” would open at least “The Martian” continues to soar the box office, in the $20 million range. bringing in $37 million last week. The PG-rated epic, sold as a Peter
Pan origin story and a lavish visual feast, has had a bumpy ride from the beginning, starting when actress Rooney Mara, who is white, was cast as Tiger Lily, who is historically Native American. The film, starring Hugh Jackman and Garrett Hedlund, also had been pushed from July to October. It has not been wellreceived by critics, either. “Pan” now ranks among 2015’s biggest flops, including “Fantastic Four” and “Tomorrowland.” International earnings don’t look promising
Jobs playing dual roles Founder of Apple is the hero, villain in movies
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Apple co-founder Steve Jobs became renowned for conjuring a “reality distortion field” that made people believe whatever he wanted. If he were still around, it’s easy to imagine that Jobs would be summoning all his powers of persuasion to protect a legacy that’s getting muddied with each cinematic take on his fascinating life. “Steve Jobs,” which opened Friday, is the latest movie to examine a charismatic visionary who mesmerized the masses with his trendsetting gadgets while alienating his subordinates and friends with an almost-inhumane cruel streak. It’s the second movie about a Silicon Valley icon written by Aaron Sorkin, who won an Academy Award in 2011 for “The Social Net-

Zuckerberg, now 31, ridiculed that movie as mostly fiction and publicly lamented, “I just wished that nobody made a movie of me while I was still alive.” Jobs’ supporters probably won’t be happy with Sorkin’s posthumous interpretation of
Jobs either, even though previously released movies have drawn similar portraits depicting him as an acid-dropping hippie turned megalomaniacal genius who berated and betrayed people.

‘Walking Dead’ slowing down? NEW YORK (AP) — The zombies on “The Walking Dead” may be starting to stagger. An estimated 14.6 million viewers watched the season premiere of the hit AMC series on Sunday, the Nielsen company said. That’s down from the 17.3 million who saw last year’s season opener and the 16.1 million people who watched in 2013. Last year’s season premiere was a viewership record for the series, so this year’s numbers may be an indication that the show has peaked in popularity. AMC points out that “The Walking Dead” was up against a Sunday-night football game between San Francisco and the New York Giants that was competitive to the last play. This year’s season premiere was 90 minutes long, instead of an hour, and the extra time may have turned off some viewers, AMC said. Last season’s full season average was 14.4 million viewers on the night of an episode’s first showing, up to 20 million when time-delayed viewership was figured in. Time-delayed numbers for this week aren’t immediately available. Among the 18-to49-year-old viewers that AMC most actively seeks, Sunday’s telecast had 9.42 million viewers, down from 11 million in 2014. Still, “The Walking Dead” was second in popularity only to “NCIS” among television dramas this past week. The 2.8 million younger viewers that “NCIS” attracted, however, was less than a third of the count of “The Walking Dead.” CBS easily won the ratings crown for the week, averaging 10.3 million viewers. For the week of Oct. 5-11, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: NFL Football: San Francisco at N.Y. Giants, NBC, 19.59 million; “NCIS,” CBS, 16.87 million; “60 Minutes,” CBS, 15.41 million; “The Big Bang Theory,” CBS, 15.4 million; NFL Football: Indianapolis at Houston, CBS, 15.08 million; “The Walking Dead,” AMC, 14.63 million; NFL Football: Detroit at Seattle, ESPN, 14.4 million; “NCIS: New Orleans,” CBS, 14.18 million; “Sunday Night NFL Pre-Game,” NBC, 13.94 million; “Empire,” Fox, 13.1 million.
ders how they “fell in love” so fast. Thomas is followed around by his skulking sister, Lucille (Chastain), who’s never one to turn down a scowling side-eye. Yep, that’s the character that knows more than she’s letting on. Thomas soon takes Edith to England to live in a wonderfully dilapidated house that seems like it was born straight from del Toro’s deliciously warped brain. As is most often the case with a del Toro picture, the stunning production design and deft camerawork are the real stars. “Crimson Peak” is visually exquisite. What transpires is a formulaic tale of sorts. Hauntings, scary ghosts, frightening flashbacks, wrongs that need righting and all that. While it’s a semi-intriguing story, the real reason to see this film is to look at it — to take it all in — because the scenery is dreadfully over the top in all the right ways.

‘Crimson Peak’
The Herald Journal, Logan, Utah, Friday, October 16, 201
The Reel Place Aaron Peck
In this hyper-sensitive Hollywood climate of billion-dollar franchises, bankable stars, and endless synergistic marketing, “Crimson Peak” is an oddity. The film industry is often labeled — many times rightly so — as lacking in ideas, and that much of what they churn out feels familiar and tailored to increase the bottom line. As an R-rated horror period piece, “Crimson Peak” bucks every sort of trend we’ve come to expect from a major studio release. One might expect an off-the-beaten path approach in an independent film, but this is a huge studio production. Nothing about it screams box office success. Funding it probably gave the studio accountants panic attacks. Though it seems to be a testament on what types of movies can get made if the right people are backing them. Guillermo del Toro, one of film’s truly original directors, is at the helm. And while there are some notable faces in the featured acting quartet — Mia Wasikowska, Tom Hiddleston, Jessica Chastain and Charlie Hunnam — it is del Toro who headlines this horror show. Many casual filmgoers will know him from his work on the monster vs. robot melee picture “Pacific Rim.” However, his best work, by far, are his two “Hellboy” films which still stand as the pinnacle of comic book filmdom. Taken solely on the merits of its narrative, “Crimson Peak” leaves something to be desired. As far as horror mov-

Jobs, played by Noah Wyle, shares top billing with Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates in this movie, based on the book “Fire In The Valley.” It covers Jobs’ staunch refusal to recognize Lisa as his daughter and his caustic attitude toward people. Although the movie depicts Jobs as the hipper of the two men, the more nerdy Gates ends up outmaneuvering his rival to get the technology that became Windows and helped turn Microsoft into “Outdoor Seating” the world’s most valuable company at one point.

Continued from Page 4 take place before three presentations orchestrated by Jobs: the 1984 debut of the Macintosh computer; a 1988 showcase for the NeXT computer; and the 1998 unveiling of the iMac. None of the pre-event scenes or dialogue actually occurred, but the drama is designed to capture the relentless drive and haunting demons that made Jobs who he was. Director Danny Boyle describes the movie as a “heightened version of real life” while Sorkin calls it a “painting and not a photograph.” The story is told through Jobs’ interactions with six central figures in his life: his former marketing chief, Joanna Hoffman; his former girlfriend Chrisann Brennan; Apple co-founder and friend Steve Wozniak; former Apple engineer Andy Hertzfeld; former Apple CEO John Sculley; and Lisa, the daughter that Jobs refused to acknowledge for many years. Wozniak (played by Seth Rogen) delivers two of the film’s pivotal lines when he tells Jobs, “Your products are better than you are,” and “You can be decent and gifted at the same time.” “JOBS” (2013) Ashton Kutcher didn’t get an Oscar nomination for his interpretation of Jobs like some critics are already predicting Fassbender will get, but give Kutcher credit for nailing a lot of the real man’s mannerisms, including the loping way he walked. The movie picks up on Jobs’ life as a bare-foot, shaggy dropout at Reed College in Oregon and follows the path that led to him teaming up with
airing a version narrated by actor Richard Dreyfuss.) “STEVE JOBS: MAN IN THE MACHINE” (2015) This documentary from another Academy Award winner, Alex Gibney, leaves viewers with an appreciation for Jobs’ achievements and a disdain for his often boorish behavior. It’s a particularly damning portrait because it’s told through clips of Jobs himself and interviews with some of the people who knew him best. The list of participants includes: Brennan, Lisa’s mother, and Daniel Kottke, who befriended Jobs at Reed College and became one of Apple’s early employees only to be denied stock when the company went public. What the movie lacks is the perspective of Jobs’ admirers, including Apple executives who still lionize him. Among that group is Eddy Cue, the company’s senior vice president of Internet software and services,

Wozniak to start Apple in 1976, recruiting Sculley to become CEO, leaving Apple in a power struggle, and returning to engineer the greatest comeback story in corporate history. Along the way, the movie features scenes showing Jobs ripping off Wozniak on a job for video-game maker Atari; denying stock to early Apple employees who were once his friends; and berating Apple workers. Shortly before Sculley ousts Jobs from Apple, a tearful Wozniak (played by Josh Gad) wonders what happened to the friend he knew when they were making illegal boxes to make free long-distance phone calls. “You are the beginning and end of your own world,” Wozniak tells Jobs. This movie ends on an upbeat note, with Kutcher, as Jobs, narrating “Here’s To the Crazy Ones,” a famous TV commercial that ran as part of Apple’s “Think Different” campaign. (Although Jobs did record a version of this bit, Apple wound up

I am increasingly getting nostalgic for yesterday. No, not yesteryear, but seriously yesterday, as in “All my troubles seemed so far away; Now it looks as though they’re here to stay; Oh, I believe in yesterday.” That was my Beatles reference, which probably goes way too far back for most people to get. It’s so old it should be on dial-up, which itself is an anachronism because you never actually dialed anything with dial-up anymore than you have really cut-andpasted anything in the

last 30 years. I like the term “jump the shark,” even though I had to look it up on Wikipedia to figure out where it came from. You have to be 50 or older to understand that it all
goes back to a TV show called “Happy Days” and increasing lame attempts to boost viewership. For instance, if I were to promise to post nude photos of Bernie Sanders in my next column just to increase diminishing readership, you might say that Slightly Off Center had “jumped the shark.” I promise that I would rather just sneak out the back door rather than resort to this; but alas, “jumped the shark” itself has jumped the shark. It is being thrown around more carelessly than the word “epic.” Unless you are actually parting the Red Sea, you are probably
not doing anything epic today or in this lifetime. I also don’t care about your new app. I would, in fact, like an app that would automatically delete any app on my phone that I have not used for more than a year. But, oh heck, why do I need to do that when I can just get more storage? Storage has jumped the shark. It’s like everyone has a giant storage unit on the edge of town where they can put all their old sweaters and toasters … just in case. At least once a month I have someone offering me a free kajillibyte of free Cloud storage. Also, my $20 camera storage
cards have long exceeded the storage capacity of what I paid $300 for six years ago. Streaming music has also jumped the shark. I do like the idea that I have not spent $10 on music over the last five years, but there are only so many streaming options I can attend to. And wither the mix tape/CD? How do young people even date now? Do they send each other Spotify playlists? I guess concussions have also jumped the shark because once the pee wee/high school/ college/pro season starts, people seem to just want the sit back with their
Doritos and tune out all those wimpy Ph.D types who are just jealous they never made and epic hit playing free safety. And this “hon” thing? Where did that come from, and why won’t it jump the shark away? I don’t expect to be called “sir” unless I am knighted by the Queen, but why would a thirtysomething woman with a nose ring serving up sandwiches refer to a 59-year-old customer as “hon?” “Thanks babe, the tuna looks epic,” I want to say. ——— Dennis Hinkamp will never jump the shark or surf anywhere where he could be eaten.
Remembering Hollywood’s biggest disasters LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Pan” walked the plank this weekend and it didn’t go well. Warner Bros.’ $150 million live-action Peter Pan origin story captured a dismal $15.5 million from North American theaters, and its international prospects don’t look much more promising. The film earned only $20.5 million from 52 markets. Unlike Disney’s largely profitable foray into liveaction fairy tale adaptations, “Pan, “starring Hugh Jackman, Rooney Mara and newcomer Levi Miller, might find Warner Bros. taking a write-down for their losses. Only time and the promise of an Oct. 22 China opening will seal “Pan’s” ultimate fate, but it already has the dubious distinction of being one of 2015’s biggest bombs, up there with Disney’s “Tomorrowland” and Fox’s “Fantastic Four.” In honor of the rare, fascinating spectacle of the box office bomb, here are some of Hollywood’s most infamous financial catastrophes. HEAVEN’S GATE
It might not come close to matching some of the epic losses on the list, but director Michael Cimino’s Western starring Kris Kristofferson and Christopher Walken is one of cinema’s most famous flops. The $44 million film made only $3.5 million domestically and effectively destroyed the estimable United Artists. TOWN & COUNTRY Somehow this no-frills Warren Beatty, Diane Keaton and Goldie Hawn romantic comedy cost $90 million to produce, and earned $10.3 million worldwide. Suddenly Beatty’s 1987 “Ishtar” embarrassment didn’t look so bad. HOW DO YOU KNOW Having not learned any lessons from “Town & Country’s” out of control budget, writerdirector James L. Brooks made this romantic triangle comedy, starring Reese Witherspoon, Jack Nicholson, Owen Wilson and Paul Rudd, for $120 million. It went on to gross only $48.7 million worldwide.

pirate adventure, directed by her then-husband Renny Harlin, as a woman seeking buried treasure and vengeance. The $98 million MGM film made only $10 million domestically and for years was considered the biggest money-loser ever. THE ADVENTURES OF PLUTO NASH Warner Bros. sat on this $100 million Eddie Murphy space comedy for two years before finally pushing it out to theaters. The result? A worldwide sum of $7.1 million. THE 13TH WARRIOR This John McTiernan-directed 10th century Viking saga
starring Antonio Banderas cost a whopping $160 million to make, bringing in only $61.7 million worldwide. MARS NEEDS MOMS This already forgotten, $150 million CG-animated disaster featured the voices of Seth Green and Joan Cusack, and netted only $39 million worldwide. 47 RONIN With a budget that’s been reported to be in the $175 to $225 million-range, Keanu Reeves’ samurai epic was a flop before audiences had the chance to decide for themselves. Universal let the stinker sit on the
shelf for a year, reporting a $175 million loss before the film even hit theaters. THE LONE RANGER After spinning box office gold with the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, director Gore Verbinski, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and star Johnny Depp tried their hand at a $215 million take on “The Lone Ranger.” The film, which co-starred Armie Hammer, grossed $89 million domestically and $260.5 million worldwide, but Disney still prepped shareholders for a $160 to $190 million loss. JOHN CARTER The century-old story may have directly inspired some of modern sci-fi’s biggest hits (hello, “Star Wars”), that didn’t seem to matter much to anyone in the end. Disney poured a reported $250 to $275 million into producing the film, resting it all on the broad shoulders of small screen star Taylor Kitsch. “John Carter” opened to only $30.2 million, and the studio took a $200 million write-down while it was still in theaters.
in theaters, nabbing the top spot once more. Its domestic total now stands at $108.7 million. “Hotel Transylvania 2” took second place in its third weekend with $20.3 million, bumping its total to $116.8 million. “Pan” came in at No. 3. Nancy Meyers’ workplace comedy “The

Intern” earned $8.7 million, and the border thriller “Sicario” brought in $7.4 million, rounding out the top five. Outside the top 10, “Steve Jobs,” the biopic of the late Apple CEO directed by Danny Boyle and written by Aaron Sorkin, opened in four theaters in New York and Los Angeles every story while simultaneously moving the story along at a brisk enough pace. Nonetheless, Spielberg and the Coens are able to do this without any noticeable hiccups. Donovan is brought in, unofficially, by the U.S. government to negotiate the exchange of Powers for Abel. From that point on, “Bridge of Spies” pulls away from its courtroom drama beginnings

to a powerful $520,942. Its $130,000 per-theater average ranks as the best of the year and should bode well for the film’s expansion across the next two weeks. “This is a movie everyone’s talking about, and now they’re going to be talking about it even more,” Dergarabedian said. and jumps into the world of metaphorical cloaks and daggers. Well, perhaps that’s not the right way to explain it. This is a movie about the negotiations that go on behind the scenes and navigating the impossibly tangled web of international bureaucracies. There’s a scene in the movie where Donovan is negotiating with a Russian emissary (Mikhail Gorevoy). Here’s the real crux of the movie. Two men ostensibly discussing a matter that, if done incorrectly, could lead to World War III. It’s an immensely powerful scene, because one of the screenplay’s main purposes is to convey its dire subtext — nuclear annihilation — in every scene. The suspense doesn’t come from explosions or highconcept action scenes. Instead, the tension is built expertly by engaging the audience in a time period where relations between Russia and America were hanging by a thread. The idea that it came down to a few gut-wrenching negotiations is enough to make anyone tense.
