MOVIES 6 ‘Mockingjay - Part 2’

edges out ‘Good Dinosaur’ and ‘Creed’ at box office

7 Actor Luke Bracey says

‘Point Break’ remake is bigger, better than original

CALENDAR 15 See what’s happening this week

As you browse through this issue of Cache Magazine, you might notice that we don’t have a movie review from resident film critic Aaron Peck.

This is a rare occasion, and, actually has nothing to do with the fact that Aaron churned out a recordtying three reviews last week. Rather, the only major relase of the week — the holiday-themed horror movie, “Krampus” — was not available for screening in Salt Lake City this week.

Therefore, I had to plug in a story about the upcoming — and completely unneces-

sary — remake of “Point Break.”

However, Aaron was able to see an advance screening of “The Revenant,” which comes out Christmas Day and won’t see a wide release until January.

That’s the Leonardo DiCaprio film about mountain man Hugh Glass’s unbelievable fight for survival, which will also feature Will Poulter as local legend, Jim Bridger.

“It’s great, but so very brutal. Whoa.

Extremely well-filmed,” Peck said of “The Revenant.”

“Will Poulter was good too. Think he deserves to be in the Best Support Actor conversation.”

So, we have Aaron’s review on “The Revenent” to look forward to in the near future. And next week, he’s also promised reviews on “In the Heart of the Sea” and

“Macbeth.”

And the week after that, well, I’ll try my best to see if can do something on “Sisters” with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, which will be released on Dec. 18. Oh, and should he have the time, maybe I can talk Aaron into seeing “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” which comes out the same day.

By the way, Fey and Poehler aren’t afraid to take on what will likley be the highest grossing movie of all-time.

Check out “Star Wars: The Farce Awakens” online, and you’ll find yourself trying to decide whether to wait in line for a day and a half to see Luke Skywalker’s sister, or walk right into the theater to see “Sisters.”

“A Year With Frog and Toad,” a musical written by brothers Robert (music) and Willie (book and lyrics) Reale, and based on the children’s stories written and illustrated by Arnold Lobel, will take the stage at 7 p.m. Dec. 7 and 9-11, and at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 12, at the Caine Lyric Theatre in downtown Logan.

“I’m thrilled to be directing the show as it’s a lovely retelling of Arnold Lobel’s classic series of ‘Frog and Toad’ books, books my wife and I read to our own children,” director A. Bryan Humphrey said. “The musical storytelling and charm of the show is simple, straightforward and delightful.”

Final ‘Games’ movie holds onto top spot LOS ANGELES (AP) — Despite some mighty competition, Katniss and her crew dominated the box office once again.

“The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2” held on to its first-place spot in its second weekend in theaters, earning $51.6 million to top “The Good Dinosaur” and “Creed,” which both debuted Wednesday, according to Rentrak estimates on Sunday.

The fourth and final installment in Lionsgate’s highly successful series

has grossed $198.3 million to date.

Audiences had their pick of genres over the crowded Thanksgiving weekend. Disney and Pixar’s animated dinosaur movie took second place, bringing in $39.2 million Friday through Sunday, while “Creed,” a new entry into the Rocky Balboa canon, came in third with $30.1 million.

Families accounted for 79 percent of “The Good Dinosaur’s” audience.

The film, which cost a reported $175 million to $200 million to produce,

grossed $55.6 million in its first five days in theaters.

“This Pixar group has just been so consistent with high-quality storytelling that appeals to all audiences. This weekend’s result is another testament to the way they do things,” said Dave Hollis, executive vice president of distribution for Disney. “We are off and running in a great way and also set up for a very, very long run.”

“Creed,” meanwhile, came out

Sister trio kickin’ it high Jantzies working together with the famous Rockettes NEW YORK (AP) — The world-famous Rockettes are supposed to look alike, but fans this Christmas might do a double take — and then a triple-take.

Three long-legged, athletic sisters — including two identical twins — are in the Radio City Christmas Spectacular lineup.

Landing a job among this highkicking chorus line is very special.

Can three come from the same family?

Meet Kristin, Lisa and Alison Jantzie, celebrating their fourth year as Rockettes together. The brown-haired, blue-eyed sisters are from the rural community of Lacombe, in Canada’s western Alberta province.

“It’s kind of wonderful to be onstage with your family,” said Alison, dance captain in the recent Broadway show “Gigi” with Vanessa Hudgens. “We’ve kind of made this a tradition for ours, obviously.”

Kristin, in her 11th Christmas show, was the first to be a Rockette. She and her twin, Lisa, technically the oldest by a few minutes, got their first professional jobs at age 18 at the Tokyo Disney Resort.

Kristin later auditioned for a touring production of the Rockettes in Los Angeles and got the

job after showing her skills at tap, jazz and precision dance. Both of her sisters went to see her when the show went to Detroit in 2005.

Lisa looked at the stage and, well, saw herself: “When you see somebody you know doing something, it kind of does open your eyes to the possibility.”

Kristin’s sisters eventually joined her at Radio City Music Hall, but took their own routes.

Lisa, who gravitates toward ballet,

worked at the National Ballet of Canada and Alberta Ballet. She’s in her sixth Rockette show, and she and Kristin were in the recent spring Rockettes show.

Alison, the youngest, loves musical theater and studied at the Randolph Academy in Toronto.

She acted in regional productions of “Cats,” ‘’High School Musical” and “Mary Poppins.” She’s in her See TRIO on Page 13

‘Fury Road’ tops National Board of Review awards NEW YORK (AP) — The National Board of Review threw a fireball into Hollywood’s awards season, naming the rollicking apocalyptic adventure “Mad Max: Fury Road” the best film of 2015.

George Miller’s latest installment in the 1979-born action franchise is an unconventional pick from the National Board of Review, one of the oldest awards bodies in movies. But the group, founded in 1909, has recently tried to shed its stodgy image, previously giving J.C. Chandor’s “A Most Violent Year” (in 2014) and Spike Jonze’s “Her” (in 2013) its top honor.

In the awards announced Tuesday, the sciencefiction hit “The Martian” came away with the most wins, taking best actor for Matt Damon, best director for Ridley Scott and best adapted screenplay for Drew Goddard. In the early going of awards season, “The Martian” is seen as the popular, big-budget contender likely to compete at the Academy Awards.

The National Board of Review, a collection of film enthusiasts and academics, eschewed several of the top independent contenders, like the journalism drama “Spotlight” (the big winner at Monday night’s Gotham Independent Film Awards) and the 1950s romance “Carol.”

Instead, the NBRs gave Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming Western, “The Hateful Eight,” awards for Tarantino’s screenplay and Jennifer Jason Leigh’s supporting actress performance. Sylvester Stallone was named best supporting actor for “Creed,” the acclaimed reboot of Stallone’s “Rocky” franchise.

Brie Larson won best actress for her performance as a captive mother in “Room.” The group also singled out Larson’s young co-star, Jacob Tremblay, for breakthrough performance, an award he shares with another young actor, Abraham Attah, the child soldier of the Netflix release “Beasts of No Nation.”

The National Board of Review is known for spreading its awards around as much as possible, attracting a roomful of celebrities to its annual dinner.

“So, to use a cliche, it’s bigger, and it’s better and it’s just a huge movie in terms of how different it is from the original,” he said.

The movie’s makers say they used worldclass athletes rather than stunt doubles in the film, and Bracey, who grew up in Sydney and learned to surf from a young age, also took part in snowboarding and rock-climbing — including a sequence on Venezuela’s Angel Falls, the world’s tallest waterfall.

“It’s a kilometer above the Earth, and that had me hanging off Angel Falls looking down, telling them to turn on the cameras in case I fell so at least it was on camera,” he said.

The movie opens in China on Friday, three weeks before the U.S., showing how the Chinese movie-going market, on course to surpass the U.S. as the biggest, is increasingly important to global blockbusters.

Hollywood has been increasingly chasing the rapidly growing Chinese market as box office receipts fall at home.

Box office revenue in China last year was $4.9 billion, almost three times as much as 2010.

The Herald Journal, Logan, Utah, Friday, December 4, 2015

BEIJING (AP) — Hollywood actor Luke Bracey said Tuesday the remake of the action crime thriller “Point Break” is bigger and better because it’s got extreme sports that weren’t even invented when the original 1991 hit came out.

Bracey is the new Johnny Utah, the FBI agent played by Keanu Reeves in the 1991 movie who goes undercover among a gang of surfers led by Patrick Swayze.

In the remake that comes out in China on Friday and in the U.S. on Christmas Day, extreme sports take center stage.

Bracey’s Utah infiltrates a group of thrill-seeking athletes suspected of being criminals. Action adventure feats include big-wave surfing, wingsuit flying, sheer-face snowboarding, free rock climbing and high-speed motorcycling.

The film’s promoters are billing “Point Break” as the first Hollywood film to have its world premier in China, and Bracey, who attended the premiere in Bei-

REINDEER TREK Willow Park Zoo hosts popular Christmas event

It was colder than normal last

Friday evening, but that didn’t prevent families from coming out in droves to the Willow Park Zoo’s Reindeer Trek.

Clockwise from above: Myer Leatham feeds a reindeer at the Reindeer Trek at Willow Park Zoo last Friday. Kayla Critchfield pours hot chocolate for visitors at the popular annual event. Oaklee Lambert makes a bird feeder. Troy Cooper shows a reindeer to Cannon and Tanner Rodemack at the zoo.

The third annual event kicked off last weekend, and returns again Friday, Dec. 4, and Saturday, Dec. 5. In addition to meeting and having their picture taken with Santa Claus, kids can feed a pair of reindeer, construct bird feeders, enjoy cookies and hot chocolate, and see other animals.

A petting zoo featuring sheep, pygmy goats and a baby donkey is also part of the attraction. Additionally, some of the other animals, including a pair of foxes, can been seen at the Reindeer Trek.

“We’ve had several people tell us this is their favorite event of the year, so that makes us feel good,” said Barbara Tew, who’s the education director for the Willow Park Zoo. “The numbers were down from (Saturday’s numbers) last year, and I’m sure it was because it was so cold. And so we’re expecting a lot more people on this Friday and Saturday. The weather looks like it’s going to be perfect.”

Although it was downright chilly for the first weekend of the event, visitors were greeted with a few inches from last Saturday’s snowstorm. This only added to the holiday spirit, which was already buoyed by Christmas music and lights.

“It’s always fun when it snows,” Tew said. “It just makes it feel more like Christmas.”

Santa was extra jolly during his first evening at the Reindeer Trek.

“I think it’s one of my favorite (places) and the kid have been awesome,” he said. “... They’re good kids; I haven’t had any naughty kids. They’ve all been good kids.”

Although he was certain all of the

In addition to the support of zoo employees, Tew was able to round up

STORY BY JASON TURNER PHOTOS BY ELI LUCERO 35 volunteers to make help make the Reindeer Trek a reality. Two of those volunteers were Utah State University students Holly Edwards and Ashley Bennett, who helped children fashion bird feeders out of pine cones, peanut butter and seeds on the first night of the event.

“It’s just good to see the kids having a good time and be able to come and celebrate (this time of year),” said Bennett, who like Edwards, her roommate,

is majoring in education.

“Next year, we’ll do it in the early afternoon,” quipped Edwards, who needed some volunteer hours for a class she’s taking at USU. This year’s Reindeer Trek also features an activity that is especially meaningful to Tew. Inside the zoo’s Wildlife Learning Center is a crafts table where participants can make cards for a pair of Cache Valley residents who are serving their country in the National Guard.

Sean Call has been in the Middle East for about two months now, Tew said, and fellow former zoo employee Cody Schmidt will be deployed possibly this week. Tew will collect all of the homemade cards and ship them overseas to Schmidt and Call’s units in time for Christmas.

Tew fought back tears while talking about her two former co-workers.

“We miss those guys,” Tew said.

“They were amazing, worked hard for us. They were one of the ones that you knew you could count on, and so we miss them. And knowing that they’re out there doing hard things for me and for you, that makes me happy.”

The third installment of the Reindeer Trek also features a “Home for the Holidays” display inside the Wildlife Learning Center. Exhibited inside the building are bird houses meticulously constructed by local craftsmen, which are available to purchase as part of a silent auction.

The zoo’s gift shop is also open during the Reindeer Trek, which will take place from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday, and from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday. Admission is $3 for adults, and $2.50 for children 2 and older. Cost is half off for those with zoo memberships.

B.C. exhibit shares Depression Era photos 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. Blackand-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 Depres-

sion in Northern Utah.”

The exhibit opens Oct. 17 and continues through Dec. 12. Admission is free.

Images of the disastrous Willard flood in 1923 are also included in the exhibit.

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 sponsored Farm Security Administrationphotographic documentation project of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s administration. Lee was one of the photographers that captured on film the eviction of Japanese Americans from the West Coast.

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

Jordan) who wants his own shot in the ring with the help of Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone). The film cost $35 million to make and has earned $42.6 million over five days.

Its audience has been largely male and over age 25, according to exit polls.

“This is a movie that played broadly everywhere. You expect it to do well in the big markets and even the medium-size markets, but the

Awards hopeful “The Danish Girl,” starring Eddie Redmayne as the transgender artist Lili Elbe, also opened in four theaters with a solid $185,000.

No records were broken this Thanksgiving weekend, but that’s more of a sign of a crowded slate than the health of the box office, Dergarabedian said.

“Rankings are not as important this weekend as how these films can play for the long haul,” he said. “I haven’t seen this crowded of a marketplace in years. ... I don’t know how anyone would have time to see everything.”

Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for Rentrak, said the indie sensibilities, critical response and stellar cast has made “Creed” the movie to see right now.

“This is a movie that’s going to go the distance,” Dergarabedian said.

“We watch the friends as they wake up from their winter hibernation and go out to embrace the new spring with gardening, swimming, sharing the joy of being alive outside with friends, baking delicious cookies at home, flying a kite and dealing with fall leaves,” Humphrey said. “Then, on a rainy night, Frog tells Toad a scary story that’s followed by their winter adventure of sledding down a hill.

This is the first jazz organ event at the Wassermann, but it isn’t the first jazz concert. Bill Mays was a featured jazz pianist in 2010 at the Wassermann. The concert was very successful and Hirst looked for another opportunity to feature jazz again.

When he approached Christiansen, head of USU’s guitar program, about possibilities, Christiansen immediately mentioned Smith.

Hirst also consulted Jon Gudmundson, head of jazz studies in USU’s Music Department, and when Smith’s name was mentioned, he responded with “he’s a legend.”

With the criteria of presenting jazz musicians at the same level of accomplishment as the Wassermann’s artists in the classical world,

Throughout the play, we meet friends of Frog and Toad, including birds, moles, a turtle, mouse, lizard and shy, retiring snail whose life is transformed by the assignment of delivering a letter.

“The play reveals a true friendship that has its ups and downs but rests on a foundation of kindness, respect, honesty and compassion,” said Humphrey. “It is a story that by its very nature deals with how we relate to others and to our walking through the world together.”

Humphrey said the students he’s worked with on the performance have been well-trained, friendly, insightful, hard-working singers, actors, designers and technicians.

Hirst knew he had his next jazz artist in Smith.

A jazz performance allows audiences to “see creativity in its most pure, natural form,” Hirst said. The evening’s program will be set after the musicians meet.

“These three — Dr. Lonnie Smith, Corey Christiansen and Jay Lawrence — are masters of what they do, Hirst said. “They don’t work with each other on a regular basis, but that’s a perfect creative mix. The event itself will be an experience created by what each musician brings to the moment. Add the audience response and the creative experience snowballs.”

Hirst said Smith is an unparalleled musician, composer, performer and recording artist.

He is featured on more than 70 albums and has recorded and performed with a virtual “who’s who” of the greatest jazz, blues and R&B giants in the industry. “Jazz Times” magazine describes him as “a riddle wrapped in an enigma

His career spans more than five decades.

“Dr. Lonnie Smith is a legend not only in the jazz organ world but in the jazz community,” Christiansen said. “He is an icon at this point.

He is forward thinking, his recent offerings as a recording and concert artist are socially relevant and compelling. He is at the top of his game.”

Christiansen and Lawrence are both Utahbased musicians and well known in the music industry. Christiansen, in addition to heading USU’s guitar program, has played and taught in almost every type of situation around the globe for the last decade.

The sisters are split into two rotating, 40-person casts — with Kristin and Alison in one and Lisa in the other.

Some weeks they’ll perform 17 shows a week, and having some sibling love is both helpful and motivating.

“It’s always fun to look across the rehearsal hall and catch their eye and be like, ‘OK, here we go, 5-6-7-8. Let’s begin!’” said Alison.

They live in New York now, no more than 20 minutes apart. Lisa and Kristin live in the same building, nine floors apart. They say being Rockettes together is a nice oasis from their competitive careers, which sometimes pits them against each other.

The Jantzies — they have a brother who doesn’t dance — credit their mother with encouraging their dreams without ever being a stage mom. None of the sisters recalls taking a vacation that wasn’t dance-related.

Now every year at Christmas, the Jantzie family gets together in New York to celebrate. The sisters will look out from the stage and see some familiar faces. “Sometimes our family will wear their holiday sweaters. So we can sometimes pick them out,” Kristin said.

Their guests, the Interlude String Trio, will perform classical as well as traditional Christmas carols.

The Towne Singers was formed in 1966 by Gene Tueller, who was the Logan High School choral director. The Towne Singers is Cache Valley’s oldest mixed choir, and directed by Gary Poore for the past four years, with accompanist, Terri Duncombe.

The Interlude String Trio was formed in February 2014 by three colleagues of over 25 years who have played together in chamber groups and orchestras in Cache Valley. The trio is comprised of Kathleen Lloyd, first violin; Laura Morgan, second violin; and Kennita Thatcher, cello.

enjoyable at Christmas time than hearing children sing their favorite songs of the season.

Friday, Dec. 11 — Westminster Bell Choir It wouldn’t be Christmas without the sound of bells, and the Westminster Bell Choir and Belles of Westminster will ring sacred and secular favorites, including “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day” and “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.” The concert will also feature a piece for bell quartet, an appearance by the First Presbyterian children’s choir and special music

by Elisabeth (Buffy) Evans.

The bell choirs are interfaith groups sponsored by Logan’s First Presbyterian Church.

The ringers range from college to retirement age, represent a number of local churches and wards, originally hail from all over the country, and have been ringing anywhere from a few months to a few decades. They are under the direction of Cathy Ferrand Bullock.

NEW YORK (AP) — Thanksgiving week left NBC with, well, a lot to be thankful for.

Behind two sizzling football games, the network won the Nielsen company’s weekly primetime crown for the first time this television season. NBC frequently won during the summer, but the last time it won during the traditional TV season came on Super Bowl week last winter, Nielsen said.

The Thanksgiving night game between Chicago and Green Bay drew 27.8 million viewers, the biggest audience for a night game on the holiday in the decade NBC has been showing them.

With Denver toppling previously unbeaten New England on Sunday night, the game was seen by more than 25 million people, Nielsen said.
