FROM THE EDITOR It’s probably due to the fact that Oct. 31 falls on a Saturday this year, but I don’t remember there ever being so many different events and entertainment options for a Cache Valley Halloween.

Our weekly calendar — which I admittedly screwed up in last week’s edition of Cache Magazine; my apologies — has been overflowing with ghouls and ghosts and witches and zombies the past couple of weeks. But just in case you’re still looking for something to scare you tonight or Saturday night, here

are a few options to keep in mind: • Little Bear Bottoms in Wellsville boasts a corn maze and a giant straw fort, as well as the Haunted River Trail and a Spooky Barn Ride (bbcornmaze.com).

• Slightly closer to Logan but also in Wellsville is the annual Fall Festival at the American West Heritage Center, which also has a befuddling corn maze and its vaunted Haunted Hollow (awhc. org).

• There’s also another Haunted Hollow currently underway in Hyde Park through tonight. A fundraiser for the Hyde Park Youth Council, this “spook alley” will be open from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Hyde Park City Office building.

• On the way north, you can stop off

in Smithfield at the new “trick-or-treat street.” Set to be held tonight from 6 to 0 p.m., its located at the Smithfield Civic Center (a.k.a., the old armory). Visitors are encouraged to bring a can of food to be donated to the Cache Community Food Pantry or Smithfield Family Place.

• Young trick or treaters can also go wild in downtown Logan on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Participating businesses will have a poster in their windows (logandowntown.blogspot.com).

• And the Whittier Community Center will also host its annual Halloween Festival from 3 to 6 p.m. on Saturday (whittiercenter.org).

Bullock stars in political movie based on 2005 documentary

By Aaron Peck Cache movie critic

“Our Brand is Crisis” isn’t so much a satire on the political process as it is a sad window into the world of politics we already suspect exists — a world full of contemptible humans manipulating emotions of the electorate with parlor tricks. Tell us something we don’t know.

Like a politician who can’t seem to find their footing on the issues, David Gordon Green’s new flick about a presidential election in Boliva — and the strategists behind the scenes — flip-flops between being mildly amusing and blandly lethargic.

The ironic aspect of this whole exercise is that Jane Bodine (Sandra Bullock), campaign strategist extraordinaire, is specifically brought in on a floundering campaign to craft an indelible identity for a wouldbe presidential candidate, all the while existing in a movie that doesn’t have an identity of its own.

Green, who is best known for comedies like “Pineapple Express,” seems unable to harness a consistent tone.

Is it a comedy, drama or a statement about public consciousness? Who knows?

It hints at wanting to be a little of everything, but

finds itself mired in its own quagmire of nothing.

The situation in the film — a contentious Bolivian presidential election and the Americans who come in to run the — is based off of a documentary of the same name that was released in

2005. The names, and, most likely, historical accuracies, have been changed to suit the way the movie wants to tell the story.

Jane is a masterful campaign strategist who has since retired because of emotional baggage she’s

been carrying from a previous election that got out of hand. Her nemesis, Pat Candy (Billy Bob Thornton), however, is leading the campaign for the chief competitor. Unable to turn down another chance at revenge, Jane takes on the monumental task of making ex-president Castillo (Joaquim de Almeida) electable once again.

It’s fulfilling to work on material that is written so well.”

“Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” is the story of a southern family in crisis, especially Brick and his wife Maggie (the “cat”).

‘Steve Jobs’ biopic fizzles at the box office LOS ANGELES (AP) — It was a truly outrageous weekend at the box office, and not in a good way.

The pack of new releases proved to be all out duds, some worse than others, leaving room for holdovers “The Martian” and “Goosebumps” to stay in the top spots with $15.9 and $15.5 million, respectively according to Rentrak estimates Sunday. The Steven Spielberg/Tom Hanks Cold War thriller “Bridge of Spies” also held nicely in third place with $11 million.

Vin Diesel’s “The Last Witch

Hunter” tanked with $10.8 million, killing any hopes of a new franchise.

The Lionsgate film opened in fourth place and cost a reported $70 million to produce. This is the latest disappointment for Diesel who can’t seem to find consistent success outside of the “Fast & Furious” franchise.

None of the weekend’s flops will garner as much attention as “Jem and the Holograms,” though, which opened to $1.3 million to become one of the worst debuts of all time for a major studio movie opening in over

2,000 locations. Based on the 1980s animated series, the film opened on 2,413 screens, averaging $545 per screen, to take 15th place.

The wide release numbers are alarming, but it is worth noting that Universal produced the PG-rated “Jem” for only $5 million. Overall, teens did not seem all that interested in a movie based on a show that was popular decades before they were born. Audiences that did turn out See BOX on Page 11

Kurt Russell saddles up Movie star returns in pair of new Westerns SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — Kurt Russell’s shoulder is giving him massive pain, but you wouldn’t know it from his easy smile and hearty laugh.

It’s a gloomy morning in Santa Monica, and the child star turned cult classic hero/heartthrob is working through the new ache of a very old injury.

Russell, now 64, tore his rotator cuff back when he was playing baseball.

“It must be a thousand years ago,” Russell laughed.

Surgery wasn’t an option at the time. Now that it’s calcified, he’s got to figure out what he’s going to do about it.

But he’s got other, more pleasant, things on his mind at the moment: Westerns. Over two decades since he played Wyatt Earp in “Tombstone,” Russell’s suddenly got two coming out back-to-back: First time director S. Craig Zahler’s

“Steve Jobs” brought in just $7.3 million at the box office during its first weekend.

Telemundo closes gap on Univision NEW YORK (AP) — Telemundo, the perpetual little brother to Univision in the competition between Spanish-language television networks catering to a U.S. market, is closing the gap this season with the help of fast-paced soap operas involving characters in the drug trade.

So far this season, Telemundo’s prime-time viewership is up 23 percent to 1.46 million, while Univision is down 21 percent to 2.29 million, the Nielsen company said. Telemundo has never beaten Univision in prime time, and the margin this year is smaller than it has ever been. Among viewers aged 18-to-49, Telemundo has cut the difference by 54 percent since 2010.

The biggest factor are the so-called “narco novelas” like “Senor de los Cielos” and “Senora Acero.” Spanish-language novellas, which air five nights a week in the same time slot, have generally run up to 150 episodes before reaching a conclusion, and Telemundo has been cutting these runs by as much as half.

How quickly do they move? The lead character in “Senora Acero” watched her drug-dealing husband be shot and killed last season, and now she’s already juggling two new boyfriends.

“It’s about telling stories differently,” said Glenda Pacanis, senior vice president of programming at the NBC Universal-owned Telemundo. “It’s about telling stories that our audience can relate to ... yet still respecting the genre.”

CBS won last week in prime time, averaging 9.8 million viewers. For the week of Oct. 19-25, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: NFL Football: Philadelphia at Carolina, NBC, 20.61 million; “NCIS,” CBS, 17.22 million; NFL Football: Seattle at San Francisco, CBS, 17.12 million; “Sunday Night NFL Pregame,” NBC, 15.8 million; “The Big Bang Theory,” CBS, 14.68 million; NFL Football: N.Y. Giants at Philadelphia,, ESPN, 13.9 million; “The Walking Dead,” AMC, 13.14 million; “NCIS: New Orleans,” CBS, 12.99 million; “Football Night in America,” NBC, 12.51 million; “Dancing With the Stars,” ABC, 12.5 million.

There’s the straight-laced one of the bunch, Ben (Tye Sheridan), who still parts his hair; there’s the foul-mouthed sexobsessed rogue, Carter (Logan Miller); and then there’s the chubby, loveable sidekick named Augie (Joey Morgan) because, of course, he’s named Augie.

What transpires is a banal male-fantasy where these wannabes are thrust into a position where they’re the only people who can save the town. Oh, and they end up befriending attractive cocktail waitress Denise

But, of course, in the end it’s all about the male characters living out a violent fantasy where consequences don’t matter and attractive women are looking to them for protection.

There’s nothing fascinating about that. It’s just rote material that’s been regurgitated a thousand times over.

The Reel Place Aaron Peck

So, how many more scenarios can we think up in order to satirize and satiate our apparent blood-lust for zombies?

“Shaun of the Dead” tackled the issues before it was cool.

“Zombieland” built upon it, adding in hilarious group dynamics and the venerable Woody Harrelson. Even the lesser-known “Cooties” served up some cleverness, setting a zombie outbreak in the midst of an elementary school and having the poor teachers battle their tiny undead students.

But “Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse” is much too little and much too late.

As “The Walking Dead” enters what feels like Season 12, it leaves us wondering if the zombie zeitgeist will ever just keel over and die. “Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse” is the cinematic embodiment of this problem. For all intents and purposes, the zombie pop-culture phenomenon should’ve died off long ago. Yet, here it is again rising up from the floor all blurry-eyed and braindead.

The problem with this latest installment in the zombies-are-inherently-funny subgenre, is that its satire isn’t clever or — pardon the pun — biting enough.

It doesn’t understand the inherent comedy of scouts, zombies or teenage male friendships. Instead it opts to display the grossest of gross-out humor hoping for a few unearned laughs.

Cache Ballet brings ‘Dra I

n the far rear of the Ellen Eccles Theatre built in 1923, Kevin Nakatani sits in his small, poorly lit dressing room with an array of cosmetics on the dressing table in front of him, and slacks and a long, black cloak hanging behind him.

He adds color one layer at a time. White to make his medium complexion more pale, layered with dark colors that add dramatic, chiseled cheekbones with the stroke of a brush.

His dark eyes are lined in a Gothic black, and his lips are a vibrant red made even more bold when he slips a wig of long black hair over his own wavy tresses and secures it in place with hair pins.

The slow transformation is a little eerie, but the addition of the teeth and Nakatani’s wicked laughter as he delights in the change from self to Dracula are even more chilling.

“I get paid to dress up, to pretend to be someone I am not, and people come and watch — who does that make sense to?” he said.

The thought makes him both gleeful and grateful.

Nakatani starred in a two-day production of Dracula presented by the Cache Valley Civic Ballet last weekend. The story of the mysterious Count Dracula with a taste for young ladies dates back to the 19th century and has continued to grow in popularity over the years, especially after the creation of film production.

A native of California, Nakatani took choir in high school and in college, and after performing in his first show production, he learned ballet and was strongly encouraged to study voice.

In 2006, he started performing with the Utah Festival Opera Company and five years later, he moved to Logan. It is the longest he has lived anywhere, he said.

“There is something to be said for the gypsy lifestyle of an artist,” he said. “I definitely have the wanderlust and the ability to not be tied down.”

Nakatani, whose laughter is delightfully evil, is especially fond of villainous roles that allow him to “leave a trail of destruction.”

In Dracula, he said he has only one goal, and that is to get Lucy.

then Quentin’s movie just happened. The only reason I look the way I look in ‘Bone Tomahawk’ is because I was getting ready to do ‘Hateful Eight,’ otherwise I probably would have done this with quite a different look. But there’s nothing you can do about that. So it’s like a halfway house.

I’m halfway to where I’m going in ‘Hateful Eight.’

That’s full blown.

AP: It is a pretty formidable mustache.

Russell: This is a mustache wearing a man. In “Hateful Eight,” the look and what he wears, it’s declarative. If you just saw him walking down the road, you’d have a pretty good idea of who

that there is always more that can be done.”

The most rewarding part of directing the play is that we learn more about the characters and play every night we rehearse and more continues to be revealed, Call said.

There is a Tennessee Williams quote that Call loves: “I don’t think a soft, or sentimental ending, can do anything

He’s bombastic, brutal, and uncouth. He’s literally a bull in a china shop.

When he gets nasty, it stops the room. He’s that guy. He’s got to be that guy. He’s not just an iconic Western lawman.

He doesn’t have any compunction. But it turns out he has a sensitive side.

AP: Does it feel like a play, since it’s confined mainly to that one room?

Russell: The structure is, like you would expect, more like a live play. But as Quentin does, he plays around with time. You go back, forth, sideways.

AP: You’d worked with Tarantino on ‘Death Proof.’ What was it like

Russell: He was even better. He was completely on his game. I think one of the great things that I’ll take from that experience is that I got to work with Quentin in his prime. All the actors talked about it. We were so excited. A lot of us had worked with Quentin three, four times. Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Sam (L. Jackson). Everyone was saying he was so focused, so on top of it. He really knew what he wanted to do. You never know what you’re going to come out with when you do a movie.

The production contains adult themes.

you stand the chance of having something that’s going to be very watchable. Quentin’s a savant.

He just is. He can’t help it. He was born to do this. He loves that he gets to do it, and he has no intention of disappointing.

Russell: There’re two genres to me where you can talk about the big things. One of them is science fiction. The other one is the Western.

And he talks about doing two more movies at least and he talks about one of those being a Western.

He’s significantly invested in that genre.

AP: So what is the ‘big thing’ in ‘Hateful Eight?’

Russell: I asked that question, and the answer was great. (Tarantino) didn’t want to answer it.

He said ‘I’m addressing it, but I’m not going to tell you.’ It was great.

It was the best answer of all. It was, ‘I’m just going to do it.’ It’s the same thing as actors being questioned about the character they play and how they do it.

There’s only one answer: Go see the movie. It took us six months to do the movie and a month of rehearsal. I can’t explain to you in three minutes on a television show what it means or what I did. Go see the movie!

The museum is located at 24 N. 300 West in Brigham City. The entrance is on the west side. Hours are from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesday through Friday, and 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday. For further information, please call (435) 226-1439 or visit brighamcitymuseum.org.

Some of the photos in the exhibit were taken by such distinguished professional photographers as Russell Lee. Lee, who was born in Ottawa, Illinois, and earned a degree in chemical engineering, but he gave up a lucrative career as a chemist to become a photographer. He was hired for the federally

Bill Murray’s “Rock the Kasbah” barely did better in ticket sales, pulling in only $1.5 million from 2,012 theaters, but it also cost three times as much as “Jem” to produce. It’s one of Murray’s worst debuts ever and a low point for Open Road Films. Critics were not fans of the Barry Levinson-directed comedy about a rock manager who finds a new client in Afghanistan.

Poor reviews might have sunk “Witch Hunter,” ‘’Jem” and “Kasbah,” but good reviews couldn’t propel Danny Boyle’s “Steve Jobs” to flashy heights. After two very strong limited-release weekends, the biopic failed to impress in wide release with $7.3 million. That’s on par with 2013’s “Jobs” which starred Ashton Kutcher and opened to $6.7 million despite much poor-

er reviews.

Universal isn’t disappointed with the expansion numbers and anticipates that “Steve Jobs” will continue to be in the cultural conversation, especially as the awards season kicks off. The film cost approximately $30 million to make and has made $9.98 million to date.

The low budget “Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension” didn’t do very well either with a franchise low take of $8.2 million from 1,656 screens — over 1,000 fewer than other films in the series.

Part of the reason for the low screen count is the fact that Paramount was experimenting with a shorter home entertainment window. The film will be available digitally 17 days after it leaves theaters as opposed to the usual 90 days. AMC and Cineplex agreed to participate in the model, but others refused to play the movie.

“It feels to us really clear that any issues that we had were not related to consumer behavior,” said Megan Colligan, Paramount’s

Franklin D. Roosevelt’s administration. Lee was one of the photographers that captured on film the

president of worldwide distribution and marketing.

The lackluster weekend at the box office could be the result of overcrowding, according to Paul Dergarabedian, Rentrak’s senior media analyst.

“There’re just too many films being released into the marketplace. Over the past month we’ve had on average at least three new wide release films entering the marketplace every week,” Dergarabedian said. “Audiences, and particularly older audiences for whom these films have great appeal, they’re staying away. It’s like they’re opting out. It’s easy to get lost if you’re a newcomer into such a crowded environment.”

As audiences pick and choose where to spend their entertainment dollars, Dergarabedian also notes that there is a handful of probable blockbusters on the way with “Spectre,” ‘’The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2” and “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”

“It’s not like all is lost at the box office,” Dergarabedian said.

Other photos in the exhibit were taken by amateur photographers that were members of the Civilian Conservation Corps located in Northern Utah. The CCC was a public relief program that operated from 1933 to ’42 for unemployed, unmarried men between the ages of 17 and 28 years. The CCC was a major part of President Roosevelt’s New Deal that provided unskilled manual labor jobs related to the conservation and development of natural resources in rural lands owned by federal, state and local

governments.

One of the projects a CCC crew undertook when they arrived in Northern Utah was terrace the landscape in Willard that had been altered following the flood.

Notable photos on view are “Mormon Women Tacking a Quilt for Sheepherder,” 1940; “Camp of Dry Farmer,” 1940; “American Legion Building Under Construction, Box Elder County,” 1936; “Woman Surveying Homegrown and Preserved Fruits and Vegetables”; “CCC Camp 952 at Bear River Bird Refuge,” 1935; and Boar, FSA Cooperative, 1940.

When the stock market crashed on Tuesday, Oct. 29, 1929, “Black Tuesday” triggered the Great Depression. Initially the event was referred to as an economic slump, a passing incident in our national lives and an economic downturn.

Unfortunately, Americans would end up experiencing the longest, deepest and most widespread depression of the 20th century.

Utah was among the states hit hardest by the Great Depression, which lasted until the late 1930s. Black-and-white photographs as well as artifacts that document these difficult times are featured in the Brigham City Museum of Art and History’s exhibit “Between the Wars: The Great Depression in Northern Utah.”

The exhibit opens Oct.

Sure, there are parallels to be drawn to the campaigns we see playing out every day in the news as our nation dives headlong into another election season (heaven help us all). But those parallels are neither interesting nor insightful. We understand that the world politicians inhabit is filthy. We don’t need to be reminded of that fact. It’s common knowledge; we’d just as soon forget it exists.

Bullock is fine in her role as tortured campaign

It’s one of those character archetypes that is blatantly obvious from the get-go, yet her motivations for change are less than ambiguous. Her resolution is wholly unearned and unwarranted given the information we’re provided with.

In the end, “Our Brand is Crisis” doesn’t establish its own identity, which in a movie that’s all about doing that one thing seems rather irresponsible.

Jazz Kicks Big Band show set for Tuesday The Jazz Kicks Big Band will play compositions by Thad Jones at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 3, in the USU Performance Hall. Admission is $10 for adults, $8 for USU faculty and seniors and free for all students.

The 17-piece Kicks Band is led

by Larry Smith, former director of jazz studies at USU, and consists of USU faculty members and Northern Utah’s best jazz musicians.

Trumpet player and composer Thad Jones (1923-86) grew up in Pontiac, Michigan. During World War II he played in U.S. Army bands. He joined the Count Basie Orchestra in 1954 and played with him for many years before settling in New York City.

Drummer Mel Lewis (1929-90) was raised in Buffalo, New York. In

1954 he joined the Stan Kenton orchestra and stayed for several years before locating in New York City.

Thad and Mel admired each other’s playing and decided to form a band together in New York in 1965.

The Thad Jones/Mel Lewis band played Monday nights at the Village Vanguard, and went on occasional American and European tours.

Jones’ best known piece, “A Child Is Born,” is often performed during the Christmas season and was performed by the Kicks Band in past years. In addition, Jones’ compositions “Tip Toe”, Don’t Git Sassy”, “Groove Merchant” and “Three and One” will be played by the Kicks Band. Vocalist Monica Fronk will sing “Early Autumn” and “Love Me of Leave Me” with the band.

has been hailed for its fun, exciting characters, both human and fairy, and its delightful story, which involves themes of love and magic in their various manifestations.

“This play is certainly one of my favorites,” says David Sidwell, director of the production. “We get no fewer than five different love stories. Some are comic, some are tragic, some mysterious, and all are so fun to watch.”

Although this is actor Cari Phillips’

first experience performing Shakespeare, she’s having a great adventure directing and playing the part of Titania, the Queen of the Fairies.

“The King puts a spell on her; making her fall in love with an actor with a donkey’s head,” Phillips says. “Before the spell she’s vivacious and sassy. After he casts the spell she becomes obsessed with her new love and goes a little crazy. She’s a fun character to play because there’s so

Erickson is an instructor with the Cache Valley School of Ballet. She started dancing at age 5 and made her debut in the “Nutcracker” at age 9.

By age 15, she knew she wanted to be a ballerina. It was just a couple years after that when she was part of the very first production of “Dracula. “ “It is not your typical ballet,” Erickson said.

“The movements are still very classical, but more angular.”

Erickson, a Sugar Plum Fairy turned vampiress, said it is the costumes, the music and the makeup that are combined in a way that changes this piece from a “classic, tutu ballet” to one that is a perfect fit for the Halloween season.

The story opens in a misty graveyard with Erickson in what she calls a creepy, red dress. After her opening performance, the stage is transformed to a ballroom full of young people who have gathered for an evening of dancing. Dracula is in attendance, and he immediately sets his eye on Lucy, but he is continually discouraged by her fiance. However, her

Joining the Sky High Players will be Sky View High School’s choir and orchestra, playing parts of Felix Mendelssohn’s famous “Incidental Music” for the show, arranged by USU professor Sergio Bernal. Mendelssohn’s composition includes several wellknown pieces, including the ubiquitous “Wedding March.”

The production is family-friendly and suitable for all ages.

friend Nina is fascinated by the stranger and is not at all shy about pursuing him.

And so the story goes, from the ballroom to the streets and eventually back to the graveyard after Dracula has managed to add young Nina to his

realm of vampire brides.

But the ever-persistent Dracula is still drawn to Lucy and slips into her chamber in the wee hours of the morning.

Just when it appears Dracula has a firm hold on Lucy, her fiance storms in to rescue the girl and go

after the villain.

“Every other show that we do is so magical,” Erickson said. “I wouldn’t call this magical, it’s imaginative but it is not ethereal.”

It poses a bit of a challenge to move from “happy humans and fairies to something very creepy and dark,” Erickson said.

Many of the roles in “Dracula” require a trancelike state that should be performed in a convincing manner.

“We started with a lot of giggling,” Erickson admitted.

“A show like this only comes together because of a lot of people with a lot of passion,” she continued.

“It is very technical, very demanding, with a lot of special effects.”

Music Theatre West is holding auditions for “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,” which will play at the Ellen Eccles Theatre in February. The children’s auditions will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
