Fifteen “brave and brilliant” young poets ages 14 to 19 will perform up to three original poems in three rounds before a panel of discriminating judges in Breaking Ground Poets’ final slam of the season on Saturday, April 5, at 6 p.m. Last year’s slam finals saw a standing room only crowd. Winning poets qualify to represent the troupe this summer at Brave New Voices in Atlanta, Georgia. A volunteer-run extracurricular organization, The Breaking Ground strives to “open the dusty hope chests and neglected cupboards of mind and self. To dispel illusion and battle oppression whenever (they) encounter it” and “to enjoy art and wit and good conversation.” The poets have spent the last couple of weeks warming up at events, including at the Dietrich Theater’s monthly open mic and a showcase at the Hoyt Library in Kingston. The slam will be staged at TwentyFiveEight Studios at 703 N. Washington Avenue (behind Cooper’s Seafood House) in Scranton. HipHop artist Sir Polo warms up the crowd with a performance of original poetry and lyrics. Send email to kwisnosky@frontiernet.net for more information. — ag

red HoT & pre-Code

Despite a tragically premature death from kidney disease at age 26, Hollywood bombshell Jean Harlow burned a number of unforgettable performances on 1930s celluloid.

Among them are Red Dust with Clark Gable, Suzy with Cary Grant, Libeled Lady with William Powell and Wife vs. Secretary with Jimmy Stewart, as well as Dinner at Eight, Bombshell and Red-Headed Woman, in which she covered her legendary platinum blonde hair with a red wig. Released in 1932, Red-Headed Woman is based on a novel by Katherine Brush and stars Harlow as an ambitious secretary who attempts to sleep her way to the top of society. It kicks off the Albright Memorial Library’s Pre-Code Classic Film series on Thursday, April 2, at 7:15 p.m. following a screening of Meet the Baron at 6 p.m. Call (570) 3483000 x3008 to register.

A young Wall street advisor and his girlfriend uncover a financial scheme that reaches into the halls of government in James Grippando’s 2012 novel Need You Now. The book has been selected as this year’s one the same Page in Lackawanna County selection. The author will speak at The Lackawanna County Library system’s matthew F. Flynn Lecture series at the scranton Cultural Center on monday, April 13, at 7 p.m.

The New york Times bestselling author of 22 novels, including 11 in a popular series featuring miami criminal defense attorney Jack swyteck, Grippando lives in Florida where he works as an attorney specializing in entertainment and intellectual property law. His 23rd novel, Cash Landing, will be released in June 2015.

“A complex and mind-dizzying shell game, Grippando’s tale is heavy on action and filled with the stereotypical characters necessary to keep pages turning,” kirkus Review wrote of Need You Now, concluding that “agreeably entertaining, Grippando’s novel adds up the collateral damage when billions belonging to the wrong kind of people go missing.”

Come a LittLe CLoser

Isn’t he especially pessimistic though?

Lehman: Is that him? It might be Nietzsche. He’s pessimistic. Kant, too.

Bosley: There’s that whole period of dark German philosophy. It has a lot of darkness in it.

Get intimate with the PoP UP stUdio at First Friday sCranton

That’s great for Scranton then! Sorry. Continue.

Lehman: So the metaphor is basically that on a cold winter’s day there are two hedgehogs that seek ombarded with slick hyper-sexualized media the warmth of one another, but the closer they get the marketing around every real and virtual corner, more harm they cause to one another because of their it’s easy to lose sight of the good old-fashioned sharp spines ... because they’re hedgehogs. So they wisdom that nothing is more intimate than eye contact. are drawn together to want to be warm but then forced We whisper about “knowing in a biblical sense” and to disperse. And then they are drawn together again sing about the love who’s gotten “under my skin.” and again forced to disperse. After many times coming The word “intimacy” means to “make known” and is together and dispersing they find that the only level of derived from the Latin “interus,” literally meaning to go suitable intimacy is at a safe distance where they can inward or inside. But what does it all mean to you? have some warmth, but not cause too much harm Scrantonians and guests will be encouraged to to each other. And so, in the same way, the need of step out of the safety zone of preconceived notions society and the individual drives us human porcupines as they step up into four U-Haul trucks parked on the together to kind of satisfy our mutual need for warmth, Spruce Street side of Courthouse Square by The Pop only to be repelled by our disagreeable qualities. The Up Studio this First Friday, April 3, from 6 to 9 p.m. moderate distance that we at last discover is fine manWe had an intimate conversation with Pop Up ners, essentially, where we are polite to one another, founding member David Bosley and new member but we’re not too intimate with one another. Say, for of the crew Jacob (Jake) Lehman at the electric city instance, with a stranger we just meet. And so by that offices last week to learn more about this one-evening- arrangement then, the mutual need for warmth is only only installation experience. moderately satisfied, but no one gets hurt. Intimate is seeking to provoke that, to prod that and really The Pop Up Studio members all have different invite the community of Scranton to engage and ask strengths. What does Jake add to the collective? what “intimacy” means to us as a collective or as an Bosley: We each have different backgrounds. individual and as a technologically advancing society.

Val (Kiser) has a very artistic, aesthetic background in fine arts. She puts a lot of finishing touches on OK. So how do you turn that into an installation? things to make things look nice. And I don’t have Lehman: Within the installation, people will that. Mike (Muller) and Jake are both architects and participate in five different kinds of intimacy. We have another member, who’s new also, works with them [at experiential, intellectual, emotional, spiritual and physiDxDempsey], his name is Corey (Tilburg) and he’s an cal. And so we are staging a respective type of intimacy architect as well. They have very structured minds and in a respective U-Haul truck. are great at drawing up floor plans. Whenever we talk about having an event, there are always professional diagrams of how it will look and it’s nice to have that because it’s easier for everyone to conceptualize what it will look like. Jake’s strength is that he’s got a lot of very deep, conceptual ideas. Intimate has a lot of deep thoughts behind it.

Lehman: I like to think that’s my skill as well. I try to think deeply into the ideas, the concepts behind it.

B

Well you can’t get much deeper than “intimate,” right? That’s literally what it means — “to go inside.” How did the idea for this project come to you?

Lehman: It’s based on kind of a metaphor by Arthur Schopenhauer — He’s that really negative philosopher?

Lehman: That’s all philosophers, almost.

This is not a commercial for U-Haul.

Lehman: (laughs) No. Bosley: There probably could be some branding opportunities there, but we didn’t take advantage of that.

Lehman: For instance, David’s in charge of emotional intimacy and in his U-Haul, he’s staging an installation that allows two people to interact in some way and to experience that. And the same for mine, spiritual intimacy, I’m staging some sort of an installation in the back of a U-Haul to personify that and explain that to people. To relate back to the metaphor of the hedgehogs — we’re making it so you experience the event entirely anonymous of one another. The idea is that through anonymity, there’s a willingness to divulge information and connect intimately. So that not knowing the person might encourage you to say things you wouldn’t say normally or to act a way you wouldn’t normally. And we’re hoping that it brings out some kind of true intimacy between the two people. And because of that, you’re going to get out of the event what you put into it. You have to be willing to let your guard down and interact in some intimate way.

Well, what’s the worst that could happen?

Bosley: I don’t think there’s a great risk to anybody.

There is more benefit than anything because, as Jake was saying, you’ll get back as much as you’re willing to put into it. Maybe sharing something emotional with someone does carry some risks because you’re sharing something you might think is personal, but it’s not meant for you to share your darkest, deepest secret with someone. Just share something about yourself and then someone will learn something about you.

I don’t think there’s much risk there, other than just having someone know something about you. If people aren’t willing to do that, they don’t have to participate.

You don’t have to go in and share something you don’t want to. Likewise with any of the installations, you don’t have to interact more than you feel comfortable.

But I think if people interact more deeply, they will hopefully feel a greater sense of reward and a deeper feeling of intimacy.

Lehman: We’re not providing all the answers.

We’re not holding their hands through this event. You have to come and interact and form your own conclusion on what this all means to you. And, hopefully, reconsider what intimacy means.

You mentioned the anonymity angle. So you’re not supposed to come with your friends, or you’ll split us up?

Lehman: You will get split up. Upon entering the back of the truck we’ve arranged some sort of structure that separates people so they enter separately.

Bosley: We’re going to have to be flexible with that because it’s First Friday so we might have a lot of people show up or we might only have a few people walking by at a certain time so we’re going to have to maybe use ourselves or other people we can grab and throw in the truck.

You mean volunteers?

Bosley: Yeah. We don’t want it to be like, you go with your friend and you already know your friend and then you’re doing something intimate with them. It could still be fun and you could still get something out of it, but I think the anonymous experience adds more to the question of “what is intimacy?”

Lehman: It forces you to see past any kind of physical attribute the person might have and just connect with them purely on the intimate level. And that’s kind of what the intellectual intimacy installation is all about. To strip away all preconceived notions that you might have just upon looking at someone. So you interact anonymously and hopefully deeply, ideally.

So you’re really taking people’s crutches away.

Bosley: It can be scary. You’re getting in the back of a truck with a complete stranger. That alone is scary, so if you can go that far I think you can participate in the process. But I think it will be interesting enough because it’s in U-Hauls. We thought about having it in typical galleries. We thought about using an open box car, but then we probably couldn’t get that on the First Friday map and getting the permits would take a while.

We want to isolate two people at each time and this is the best way to do it. Once they go in the truck, they’ll be able to hear the noise from the street, but hopefully they’ll be so focused on their experience all that will be drowned out.

And it is an experiment ...

Bosley: Oh yeah, it could totally bomb. But I have enough faith in the people around here. Each of us is really in charge of an individual station, so I haven’t thought too much about anyone else’s station, but I

can see people going into my station and being really uncomfortable with it. I can also see people getting so comfortable with it that you have to drag them out and say, “OK, there are other people waiting.” (laughs) That’s not what we meant by physical intimacy: next.

Bosley: Especially since one of our promotions was handing out underwear with “intimate” printed on it during the parade. So if someone saw that, they would think a totally different thing than what we’re planning. But that’s kind of the idea. It was just a marketing gimmick, really, and it’s a way to get people in the door and then you get the people in there who maybe really need to be challenged on intimacy, because they’re thinking, “I want to go to this.

This is a strip club kind of thing.”

B, and C to do because if they are task-oriented people they might not even consider the fact they are opening themselves up.

Nothing bad will happen at this organized, cultural activity.

Bosley: Someone might drink too much wine at AfA and then share too much information, but —

too deep. And I think it will be disarming to walk up into a U-Haul and be like, “This is a really silly thing I’m doing. I’m walking into a truck to see some sort of art installation.”

How long do you expect it will take?

Lehman: Thirty minutes maybe, if you take your time.

Bosley: It could also be 10 minutes. That’s a good question because our events can be 10 minutes or — but they were going to do that anyway.

Bosley. That’s right. I only see good coming from it you’re there for three hours.

Lehman: I think having it on First Friday facilitates because you are going to be in a safe place and what’s that idea that you can just pop-in and pop-out. asked of you is not too personal or too emotional or

IF YOU GO: WHAT: The Pop Up Studio presents “Intimate” WHERE: Spruce Street side of Courthouse Square WHEN: Friday, April 3, 6-9 p.m.

Visit thepopupstudio.org for more information about “Intimate” and forthcoming projects.

Bosley: If it’s raining, we might just end up with a few people out and about.

Get your artsy umbrellas out. Sharing an umbrella is actually a good intimacy example.

Bosley: Especially if you are walking, you have to make sure you are staying close enough to each other because if you veer off you get wet.

Lehman: I think that will be explored in experiential intimacy, that’s intimacy of a shared experience which is what the umbrella is here.

Interacting because you just happen to both need the umbrella at that moment.

Bosley: Yeah. Now we need to get some umbrellas. Actually, that’s a great idea. If it does rain, we’ll just have some umbrellas handy.

Thank you for the unsolicited help.

There is a connection. Intimacy is exciting at all those levels.

Bosley: Absolutely. I think we all want to push the envelope, but everyone has a comfort zone with how far they are comfortable pushing themselves. What we’ve done is to create a safety zone with rules and structure in place, so ... sometimes it’s easier when people have A,

SOUNDS

NIGHT FLIGHT

OH LAND — Earth Sick THE GOOD: Brooklyn-based and Danish-born singer/songwriter Nanna Fabricius (stage name Oh Land) unleashes her fourth full-length.

THE BAD: Earth Sick is hardly innovative, but remains an extremely enjoyable collection.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Recorded in her apartment, Earth Sick is your typical electronic-leaning indie pop album, not far removed from the likes of Lykke Li, Marina and the Diamonds or Banks. I was even reminded of 90s artist Poe (remember “Hello?”).

Fabricius possesses a stirring vocal presence well-suited to both the lighter upbeat stuff (“Favor Friends”) or the more demanding and dramatic pieces (sweeping closer “Trailblazer”). The album itself also runs through varying mood swings and tempos so the proceedings remain compelling.

Considering the “home grown” roots of the work, Earth sounds BIG. In addition to the thick rhythms and swirling keyboards, the occasional string arrangement or patches of layered voices place these songs in another dimension altogether; songs that could be Oh Land’s most accomplished yet.

BUY IT?: Yep. EX COPS — Daggers THE GOOD: Brooklyn guy-girl indie rock duo Ex Cops (Amalie Bruun and Brian Harding) get predictable on their sophomore album.

THE BAD: The credit list under the CD tray reads “Executive Produced by Billy Corgan.”

That’s always a bad sign. It usually means “the record company wants a radio hit and we’ll do anything to get one.”

THE NITTY GRITTY: Daggers ends up being not necessarily disagreeable, but hardly exciting.

I’ll admit being sucked in by a few driven catchy rockers where the guitars clashed oh-so-merrily with the drum machines. “Teenagers” and “Pretty Shitty” are slick enough, if not overly clichéd, and

24 A p r i l 2 , 2 0 1 5

their melodies certainly stick.

Too bad the record kind of sputters during its second half, getting all “hyper sensitive” with the buzzing ballads and snippets of blue-eyed soul.

Closing track “Weird with You” tries to bring the energy back, but ends up being nothing more than a silly punk ditty.

BUY IT?: Your call. Our hopes were dashed.

Daggers should have been so much better.

THE TING TINGS — Super Critical THE GOOD: British indie pop duo Ting Tings (Katie White and Jules DeMartino) come back with their third.

THE BAD: Super Critical is more style than substance. Plus the pair’s catalog is becoming one of diminishing returns — this new record being their least satisfying overall.

THE NITTY GRITTY: The pair jetted off to party central, the Spanish island of Ibiza, along with co-producer and Duran Duran guitarist Andy Taylor for inspiration. And there is an undeniable jubilance and carefree spirit running throughout; the tracks thumping long into the night while riding old school funk and disco rhythms. Cuts like “Wrong Club” and “Only Love” are heady energized stompers that don’t quit.

After awhile though, songs begin to bleed into one another. The overall groove is captivating, but the individual parts aren’t that distinct.

So this is a rare case where an album’s short running time (32 minutes) is a blessing and not a curse. It keeps Super Critical from wearing out its welcome.

BUY IT?: Your choice.

Kohn ARtists BRotheRs pRepping fiRst full-length AlBuM As pop/RocK duo

Kohn is brothers Brandon Rice, left, and Kohner Rice.

E

ven when they relax in a coffee shop, the guys of Kohn look ready to walk onstage in front of thousands of screaming fans.

Brothers Kohner and Brandon Rice will release the Dallas-based duo’s first full-length album this spring, the pop/rock Pop Star. Fans of Kohn (pronounced “con”) will find a slate of dance-ready beats like the rocking “#1 Fan,” the innovative, stylistic “Ooh” and the upbeat jam “Summer Day.” The brothers want the album to be a carefree, feel-good ride for listeners.

“People listen to music because it makes them feel good,” Brandon said.

Rock and roll music often sounded throughout their house as the men grew up. The oldest of six children, Brandon grew up watching their father play guitar and sing.

He started learning the instrument around age 10, improving over the years and forming a band with his sister. As other siblings began to find their own musical niches — bass, piano, singing — Kohner was the only one who hadn’t picked it up.

26 A p r i l 2 , 2 0 1 5

“Kohner was more of an athlete,” Brandon said. “Then all of sudden, Kohner comes out of the woodwork. He was doing rap music, and things like that, and that’s when he made his debut as a musician.”

Kohner remembers going down to the basement to watch band practice. At first he resented his siblings’ musical lives, because he wasn’t part of it.

“But at the same time, being exposed to it at all was pretty cool,” he said.

Kohner got into music through a friend who messed around by rapping over industry beats, and told him to try it. He did and loved it so much he bought a cheap computer microphone to start recording his own stuff.

“I’m a real, real competitive person. I always wanted to get better and better at it,” he said, adding that growing up with great musicians meant he got honest feedback.

His collaboration with Brandon began after

e le c tric c ity / d ia m o n d c ity

TS_CNG/EC_DC/PAGES [E26] | 04/01/15

16:00 | GRAHAMTOM

Kohner played a song he had recorded with more of a pop sound.

“He was playing it over and over, and I was like, ‘What is that you’re playing?’” Brandon said. “He said, ‘It’s a new beat, a new song I’m working on.

You should do something with me on it.’ ” Brandon began giving advice on the song and the pair went to the studio and recorded it the next day. After sharing it with others and getting a good response, Brandon was in.

When they recorded “La La La,” they discovered people really responded to their work as a duo.

“It was a new world for me, the same way it was a new world for (Kohner with pop versus rap), because I was used to writing in a rock genre and totally a different style of music,” Brandon said.

“It kind of reignited everything I loved about the writing process, the recording process and the performing process. It was really fun and exciting.”

Kohn released its first EP about a year and a half ago and then worked with a couple of established names on two well-received music videos shot in Denver.

“It was a big, big production,” Kohner said.

“The quality of the videos, it’s really very good.”

“We were lucky to have the opportunity,” Brandon said.

The “Back To You” video starred model, Justin Bieber associate and drag-racing partner Chantel Jefferies and has more than 750,000 views on YouTube. “La La La,” meanwhile, starred vlogger Andrea Russett and has almost 500,000 views.

The brothers also appeared on a January episode of The Celebrity Apprentice, in which they performed “La La La” on a yacht during the taping of a challenge in New York City.

While the band preps the Pop Star album, Kohn also is touring high schools, performing for free at Mini-THON events based on Penn State University’s annual dance marathon benefiting the fight against pediatric cancer. Kohner came up with the idea as a way to contribute to a cause while reaching new fans.

On Saturday, April 25, the brothers will perform their first public show at River Street Jazz Cafe, Plains Twp. They want to put on a polished performance that gives the audience a sense of what they’re all about.

“We want to show people what it’s going to be like to listen to the album,” Brandon said.

Kohn’s early pop songs followed a pattern, with Kohner concentrating more on rapping the verses and Brandon singing the choruses. The new album mixes it up more, Kohner said.

“With this album, there are songs where I sing the first verse, he sings the second,” Kohner said.

“We both sing the chorus, and then I’ll rap on the bridge. Then there’s some songs I don’t rap at all.

It’s always different. Me singing now, it opens up a lot of different ways that we can make songs. It’s just more fun.”

The brothers both write songs for the band.

Kohner uses a computer, while Brandon has snippets of ideas stored in the voice memos on his phone and prefers to write by hand.

“Everyone makes fun of me because I have so many songs on paper plates, because there’s paper plates at the studio, so I’ll grab one and a Sharpie and just write, write write,” Brandon said. “I didn’t know (Kohner) had them, but he has a collection of paper plates with all of our lyrics on them.”

And while they used pre-manufactured beats for the EP, Pop Star will feature their own instrumentals.

“We have more control and it’s more exciting to hear the finished product when you’ve had your hands in every single part,” Brandon said.

They also nabbed the rights to cover Simple Minds’ ’80s classic, “Don’t You Forget About Me,” known best for its appearance in the 1985 movie “The Breakfast Club.” Brandon got the idea to cover it when he heard a band doing a version of it in Las Vegas.

“Everyone loved it,” Brandon said. “They were just jamming to it so hard.”

The brothers have worked hard to finish recording the album and took a new approach to expand their sound. They count among their influences innovative showstoppers like Justin Timberlake, Michael Jackson, Prince, Bruno Mars and Lenny Kravitz.

“We wanted to introduce more of our rock roots, and so there’s far more guitar and organic drum sounds, bass, distorted guitar, things like that,” Brandon said. “We wanted to keep it really pop as far as the structure of the song goes, the melodies and things like that, but we introduced more rock elements. The combination of a pop melody, Kohner’s rap ability and our musicianship, we felt like we were coming up with a sound that’s very us.”

MOVIE TIMES: THE570.COM

by Jeff Boam

OPENING THIS WEEK

Furious 7 Vin Diesel, Paul Walker In this PG-13-rated sixth sequel in the gearhead action series, new big bad Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) seeks revenge against Dominic Toretto (Diesel) and his gang (Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster) for the death of his brother with government agent Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) caught in the middle. The Plus: The franchise. After adding megastar Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson to the cast, the box office takes just got better (Fast Five, $209 million) and better (Fast & Furious 6, $238 million) for this franchise. Here, series newbie James Wan (The Conjuring) Johnson (Hercules), Diesel (Riddick), Walker (Brick Mansions), Rodriguez (Machete Kills), Brewster (TBS’s Dallas), Gibson (Black Nativity), Chris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges (New Year’s Eve), Lucas Black (42), Sung Kang (Bullet to the Head) and Luke Evans (Dracula Untold) along with adding exciting new series additions Statham (Expendables 3), Kurt Russell (Death Proof) and Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman in the forthcoming Superman V. Batman: Dawn of Justice) should rev up another huge payday. The Minus: The sad fact. Series original Paul Walker tragically died in a car accident during filming, delaying the release and necessitating an expensive rewriting, reshooting and even pricier post-production process (Walker’s unfinished scenes were completed by filming his brothers in the role as well as augmenting new CGI and old franchise footage). With this all pushing the budget to a reported $250 million, Furious 7 faces a much steeper hill climb than its predecessors in this, Walker’s last ride for the franchise.

Get Hard Will Ferrell, Kevin Hart HH — Limp Biscuits Missing a great opportunity to take a provocatively Hard look at class and race under a satiric microscope, this Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart’s team-up takes a softball approach to both that neither completely wastes their talents nor presents an out-and-out laugh-riot. In this R-rated comedy, San Quentin-bound millionaire James King (Ferrell) gets nailed for fraud, so he turns to pretend-ex-con Darnell Lewis (Hart) to prep him to go behind bars. Even at 30 years and counting, Trading Places accomplishes this brand of comedy much better. Most of the bits and exchanges in Get Hard prove too broad to offer pointed commentary on a recession-embattled society where inequality remains part of the daily discussion. Post-Bernie Madoff and post-Ferguson America is ripe for the riffing, but Get Hard mostly goes for low blows rather than smart upper cuts, reducing ethnic groups and tax brackets to mere caricatures. Honestly, the movie’s too forgettable to come off as offensive. Luckily, a few funny scenes eke out of this formulaic organ grinder, largely thanks to the talent involved. Yes, Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart reach into their usual bag of tricks for laughs. They perform the same tried and true shtick that garnered them raves for Old School and Ride Along and raspberries for The Campaign and The Wedding Ringer. For the most part, the chemistry works ... if only because they’re both pulling their comedic punches as if on a schoolyard, sophomoric to the last. With better material, this twosome could’ve been funnier but – with a juvenile title like Get Hard — you were wrong to expect anything else than gross-out humor and knockabout pratfalls.

Woman in Gold Helen Mirren, Ryan Reynolds In this PG-13-rated drama based on real events, octogenarian Jewish refugee Maria Altmann (Mirren), along with a young selfish lawyer (Reynolds), takes on the government to recover artwork she believes rightfully belongs to her family. The Plus: The players. Here, Simon Curtis (My Week with Marilyn) directs Reynolds (the forthcoming Marvel Comics adaptation Deadpool), Mirren (RED 2), Katie Holmes (The Giver), Daniel Bruhl (Rush), Tatiana Maslany (BBC America’s Orphan Black), Charles Dance (HBO’s Game of Thrones), Elizabeth McGovern (BBC’s Downton Abbey), Max Irons (The Host), Jonathan Pryce (G.I. Joe: Retaliation) and Frances Fisher (The Lincoln Lawyer). The Minus: The odds. After flops including Green Lantern, The Change-up and R.I.P.D., Reynolds isn’t the bankable star he once was.

Thankfully, Mirren headlines the cast, which could give this drama — blockbuster counter-programming aimed at the older demographic — a chance at becoming a hit like last summer’s The Hundred-Foot Journey.

/ENTERTAINMENT

The Gunman Sean Penn, Idris Elba H — I Am Sham Gunning for a raspberry at an automatic clip, musclebound Sean Penn’s attempt at becoming a Liam Neeson-style action hero unfortunately causes the audience to recoil with every pump of the trigger. In this R-rated actioner, a former Special Forces soldier and military contractor (Penn) suffering from PTSD tries to reconnect with his long time love, but first must go on the run from London to Barcelona and across Europe in order to clear his name. Oh, the titular character certainly looks the part, cut like an UFC fighter and angrier than Christian Bale on the set of Terminator Salvation, but the deathly serious tone laughably handicaps what amounts to an expensive bullets-and-brawn B movie. Treating the same B-grade material with an almost fanatical religious sternness, the story laughably misfires as well. Perfect physical specimen Penn kicks and hits like the best of them but, in approaching The Gunman like it was an Ingmar Bergman masterpiece, his character quickly becomes more expendable than an Expendable.

SMALL SCREENS Run All Night Liam Neeson, Ed Harris HHH — All Night Sucker A standard-issue shoot-’em-up livened up by some grizzled performances, Liam Neeson’s latest may not exactly Run All Night, but it has just enough punch to cover a two-hour spread. In this R-rated crime thriller, mobster and hit man Jimmy Conlon (Neeson) has one night to figure out where his loyalties lie: with his estranged son, Mike, whose life is in danger, or his longtime best friend, mob boss Shawn Maguire (Harris), who wants Mike to pay for the death of his own son. Based on the name above the title, moviegoers would expect this to be a straight-forward actioner, fists throwing, feet kicking and bullets flying with very little plot caught in the crosshairs. Instead, the story presents a rather complicated (for action flicks, at least) friendship between two aging underworld types that gets put dangerously at odds over family. Both men are anti-heroes and yet both men have scruples. Oh, cliches (including an annoying tagalong kid, climatic mano a mano face off) and ripoffs (a page from the third act of Road to Perdition gets remade almost verbatim, while shades of Unforgiven get thrown in for good measure) round out the script, but Run All Night presents some spit and grit all of its own making. Taking on another ne’er-dowell operating on the wrong side of the law à la A Walk Among the Tombstones, Liam Neeson’s blurs the action hero lines to great effect. At 62, with every notch in this genre, his style of fisticuffs comes a little slower. Taking on more complex and less Expendable characters serves his broad talents well. The same goes for Ed Harris, whose weathered face and battle-damaged moral compass meets his counterpart Scotch-drowned beat for Scotch-drowned beat. You respect the relationship between these characters.

More importantly, you respect the relationship between these actors even when the material rings familiar.

Insurgent Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort HH — To Kill a Mockingjay Divest Catching Fire of most of its topical intrigue, spirited action and engaging character development and you have Insurgent, a bleak future of a sequel awash with too much lazy writing and too many cliches to emerge as anything but a poor man’s Hunger Games. In this PG-13-rated live sci-fi-thriller based on the bestselling book series by Veronica Roth, Beatrice Prior (Woodley) must confront her inner demons and continue her fight against a powerful alliance which threatens to tear her society apart with the help from others on her side. Usually, for a fantasy franchise’s sophomore outing, the quality of the screenwriting, acting and action gets stepped up in a smart game of one-upmanship — solidifying its staying power and ensuring a trifecta. Insurgent, on the other hand, stumbles into a sophomoric slump. They should have called it The Redundant Series, what with it portraying practically the same Dystopian tomorrowland already seen in countless other failed YA adaptations (City of Ember, Mortal Instruments). Like Hunger Games, this seemingly post-apocalyptic society gets split into different factions. Unlike Hunger Games, however, there’s no real plot on which to hang a story. Contrived action sequence leads to a contrived plot point leads to contrived exposition.

DVD Game of Thrones — Season 4 (2014) Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey HHHH1/2 – Watch the Throne In the fourth season of the fantasy drama, newly released on DVD, the battle for the Iron Throne continues as current rulers the Lannisters prepare for a royal wedding, their contenders fight for control of the lands of Westeros and beyond and the King’s Guard try to keep out warring Wildings.

Season 4 fails to improve upon its forebears simply because, with Game of Thrones, there’s little room for improvement. It stands tall as one of the consistently great television programs of all time. Author George R. R. Martin’s meticulously plotted brilliance gets judiciously edited into the most well rounded show currently on TV. Perfectly scripted, excellently acted and awe-strikingly designed, there’s a reason why it surpassed The Sopranos in popularity this year. Far from being a mere Lord of the Rings comparison, it’s a genius, level fictionalization of the War of the Roses with an awe-striking amount of sexual politics, violent twists and character development to rival any comers. Anybody who stays away because there’s a dragon on the cover of the DVD box needs to be drawn and quartered. The only reason it gets docked half a star is — because it features multiple storylines and so many characters that you need at cheat sheet at first — some stories prove more engaging than others. The arc featuring a crippled Brandon Stark rarely comes close to equaling powerful storytelling of the others. With news of his story going on furlough for Season 5, however, there’s hope that this year rates 5 stars.

Up Close & personal Taste something new Thirteen Olives owner and chef Eugene Litz lines his store’s shelves with not only healthy and great tasting premium oils and vinegars, but also with complimentary products — including fresh baked goods, family-made items and some unique finds.

He carries the world’s highest standard ultra premium extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), fused and infused olive oils, along with dark and white balsamic vinegars.

Aside from these, he keeps his prepared biscotti, jams, olive tapenade, seasonings, salts and pastas, including some olive wood dishes and utensils produced in the Mediterranean for customer purchase. According to Litz, his family and studies at the Culinary Institute of America brought about this opportunity to own a store like Thirteen Olives —a tasting room and gourmet food store. He strives to inform people about health benefits and boundless culinary dishes that can be derived from the oils and vinegars he sells. Meet Eugene Litz ...

Tell us a little bit about yourself.

I guess you can say I’m from a little bit of everywhere. I’ve spent the last 10 to 15 years here.

Beforehand, I lived in both Wisconsin and Maryland.

I attended culinary school at the Culinary Institute of America (CIA). Prior to opening Thirteen Olives, I had a bread baking and biscotti business in New Bern, North Carolina. I sold more bake goods, café items and coffee and I found out about olive oil and vinegar stores by selling my breads to some of the local olive oil and vinegar stores while I was still down there.

What motivated you to open up an olive oil and vinegar store like the Thirteen Olives?

I wanted change. I found I didn’t want to be cooking in the kitchen all the time. That’s what I had been doing since graduating from CIA. I saw an opportunity in this area to open up Thirteen Olives, because no other oil and vinegar stores are really around here. It’s definitely a different and unique idea that I instantly became interested in and began further researching into when I learned about it. But also, my cooking is very simplistic. I like to use good ingredients and few of them, so working with extra virgin olive oils and balsamics seemed natural.

Do you have help running the business?

We are a family-run business. They help me immensely with the store. My father and I built all of

Tell us more about the olive oils you carry.

Our first category is the Ultra Premium EVOO. We have Arbosana, Arbequina and Organic Picual to name a few oils in our EVOO selection. The polyphenols and the antioxidants give the olive oils their flavor. Not to go back to production too much more, but phenol levels are really only present in fresh olive oils.

Visit Gene Litz at Thirteen Olives, 222 Northern Blvd., Clarks Summit, Tuesdays through Saturdays, 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. and Sundays 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. For further information, check out the store’s website — 13olives.com or call the store at (570) 587-1300. make it a darker color. The dark balsamics are aged in wood. The white balsamics are cooked down from the same grape varietal, but are aged in stainless steal. So, the biggest difference is that white balsamics are cleaner, crisper and more acidic, whereas, the dark balsamics are sweeter and less acidic. The longer they age the less acidic they are. The good balsamics should be really sweet and have a low acidity.

Do you sell any other items besides your oils and vinegars?

We have a few complimentary products. We sell our olive wood items from the Mediterranean.

The makers use all retired olive wood trees to make different dishes and utensils. They’re all unique and kind of rustic, which is something that I like. Also, four years ago before I owned the store, Biscotti was my first company and I sold individual packages of biscotti. I still carry the biscotti and jams. I’ll make the jams with the balsamics and fruit, along with olive tapenade, seasonings, salts and pastas. Mostly what we sell are the oils and vinegars. But we do also have these complimentary products as well.

You talked about holding cooking demos and food tasting earlier. Do you allow customers to come in and taste test on a regular store hour basis?

Yes. We encourage people to come in and taste!

Basically, people are welcome to try anything in our store. I’ll make fresh bread every morning for my customers, so they can taste it with the oils and vinegars. People usually come in and are unsure if they want to taste anything at first. But once they

do, they see how good it is. Further, I’ll hold cooking demos and tastings from time to time to further boost interest in sampling our oils and vinegars. Last night we had a taste test. I put together a lot of food, incorporating the foods into the vinegars we have.

Some people came back the next day and tasted other oils and vinegars we sell.

What would you tell someone who’s not overly familiar with olive oils and vinegars?

Just to come in and taste. I would suggest trying our garlic products, because they are also very popular. They just taste good. Anything you cook with them is going to have a really great flavor. I’d recommend the Tuscan herb, containing herbs, sun-dried tomatoes and garlic. People can use it to make a pasta dish, or to marinate chicken.

Do you have any future plans set for the Thirteen Olives?

I’d like to possibly expand somewhere else and have a second store. Of course, this is purely just in the works. Nothing’s set in stone for the near future.

But it’d be nice if I’d be able to open a café attached to another location. What we did here last night with the tasting seemed to go over well. People loved tasting the foods I made with the oils and vinegars. If I could do something where I’d have the café on one side and then what I do here with the taste testing on the other side, I think I’d have something truly incredible.

People could come and sit down to eat, or they could readily take home the foods they just taste tested and enjoyed.

“They really, really like the story, they think it’ll make a good faith-based, supernatural, paranormal movie,” Zelenski said.

The movie is in the pre-production phase, with shooting slated to start sometime this year and possibly in Pennsylvania. The release could be as soon as next year. Zelenski said it will be a relatable movie that’s unique because of its subtle religious meaning and horror background.

“What we’re trying to do is make a Christian film without all the clichés and the beating someone over the head with religious themes,” Zelenski said.

The plot of Walker’s Vale is inspired by true events in Zelenski’s own life. Just like in the book, Zelenski’s family moved to a house in Pennsylvania and experienced unusual events, like mysterious footsteps.

“There were some strange things happening, there would be like boxes falling over, a weird smell of coffee when nobody drank coffee in our house … We just felt like there was some kind of evil spirit in that house,” Zelenski said.

The family asked a minister to bless the house, and the strange happenings stopped. But the memories live on with Zelenski, and they left him with the impression that there’s more to life than what meets the eye.

Supernatural, Spiritual book headed to the big Screen “Even at that young age I knew there was and come across a creepy creature who is a living Many people associate the word supernatural something else besides symbol that all is not as it seems. with ghosts and demons, but it applies to any the things that we see.

Zelenski said Zelenski is the author of paranormal thriller acters. He says he relates he wanted to make the story relatable to anyone, Walker’s Vale, and prequel The Journal of Ezekiel with the father protagoregardless of belief or background.

“I think it’s great to able to express some of the deepest, darkest things, even if I put that into a character, it’s still a part of me coming out so it’s very personal for me.”

His love for writing dates back to high school.

The art had always been a hobby, but in recent years Zelenski started to pursue writing professionally. Now, the father of two works at Penn Foster by day and writes by night, but hopes to someday be a full-time author.

Ultimately, he hopes to touch more lives and help more people discover, or rediscover, their faith — whether it’s in God, or some other supernatural entity.

“I’d like people to come up to me and say, ‘Hey, aren’t you the guy who wrote that book that became a movie? It really in some way touched me or made me feel what I was looking for.’ I think that would be the best thing anyone could say.”

Zelenski will be a part of a book signing on May 2, in the Library Express at The Mall at Steamtown starting at 2 p.m. He expects his third series installment to be released in 1 to 2 years, and is also working on a separate, supernatural lover story dealing in the unseen world.

Even milk and meat have the courtesy to let you know when they’re expiring. You, on the other hand, reeled in a guy’s heart, watched it flop around on the carpet, and then misplaced it under a pile of old newspapers.

“Life is short!” you hear people say. And it can be — if you’re in the habit of Snapchatting while meandering across bus lanes. But as the Stoic philosopher Seneca said, “It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it.” Unfortunately, other people sometimes waste it for us, like by expecting us to “get the hint” that they’re done with us. By the way, men, especially, tend to be poor at hint taking.

So yes, you actually have to tell the guy — rather than continue with your current approach: “I dumped you. You’re smart. You’ll figure it out eventually.”

To be human is to procrastinate — to put off till tomorrow (or the second Tuesday in never) what we could do today. Behavioral science research finds that we are biased toward the RIGHT NOW, irrationally overvaluing a small payoff we can have right away over a substantially larger one down the road. We’re especially quick to put off anything that involves duty (and its conjoined twin, discomfort). This is irrational because deferring almost always costs far more — like if we delay going to the doctor until we have not only a tumor but one with 3,651 Facebook friends.

Likewise, instead of cleverly escaping the stress of breaking up, you’ve built stressing about it into your daily routine: Coffee … ignore uncomfortable text … feed the cat … duck his call. It seems that ending the daily feel-bads should be motivation enough for you to clue the guy in. The problem is, the human motivational system tends to be in-activated by “avoidance goals” — negative outcomes we’re trying to avoid, such as avoiding feeling guilty for stringing a guy along. (It doesn’t help that the “reward” here — shifting from feeling guilty to feeling relieved — is abstract and intangible.) What we find most motivating are “approach goals,” positive outcomes we strive toward. To recast breaking up in that way, offer yourself an immediate and tangible reward, like treating yourself to a big sloppy dessert right after you do the deed.

Telling him in a timely way is something you do not just for him but for you, because what you do becomes who you are. Murder and you’re a murderer. Garden and you’re a gardener. Keep a guy on the hook and … well, okay, that one goes a little off track. But doing the right thing, the kind thing, would take what, five uncomfortable minutes on the phone?

The cumulative dread of doing it probably feels way worse than the actual doing. Plus, the momentary awfulness seems a small price to pay to become a different sort of person — one who doesn’t make a guy feel like the kid whose mom was supposed to pick him up after soccer but instead moved to Belize.

BaBy goT Backpack I saw your recent column about a hiking date, and I was wondering whether I’d seem cheap if I asked a woman on a hike for the first date. A buddy says it’d seem rude to a woman to not be wined and dined, and I’d come off as chintzy or poor. I’m neither, but hiking’s fun, and I like the idea of not spending big on first dates (most of which are busts anyway).

— Mountain Man On a first date, a woman should be getting to know you, not getting to know how much you can put on your MasterCard before the waiter comes over with a big pair of scissors. Sure, some women will find you cheap for suggesting a hike — mainly those who resent having to trudge up hills to procure a funding source with a penis. However, even women who are into exercising aren’t always into doing it where they may get close enough to a bear to see that it could use one of those little nose hair trimmers. For these women, you might offer “activity date” alternatives, like bowling or attending a street fair or a gallery opening. These might also work better for first dates with any women you barely know — alluring as it is to hear, “Hi, I’m a total stranger, and I’d like to take you off to a dark, wooded area where there’s no cellphone reception.” (Your shallow grave or mine?)

to have your own version of a daffodil explosion that inspires a burst of creativity, Sagittarius, it will come in the coming weeks.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your subconscious desires and your conscious desires seem to be at odds.

What you say you want is not in precise alignment with what your deep self wants. That’s why I’m worried that “Don’t! Stop!” might be close to morphing into “Don’t stop!” — or vice versa.

It’s all pretty confusing. Who’s in charge here?

Your false self or your true self? Your wounded, conditioned, habit-bound personality or your wise, eternal, ever-growing soul? I’d say it’s a good time to retreat into your sanctuary and get back in touch with your primal purpose.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Sometimes you’re cool, but other times you’re hot. You veer from acting aloof and distracted to being friendly and attentive. You careen from bouts of laziness to bursts of disciplined efficiency. It seems that you’re always either building bridges or burning them and on occasion you are building and burning them at the same time. In short, Aquarius, you are a master of vacillation and a slippery lover of the in-between.

When you’re not completely off-target and out of touch, you’ve got a knack for wild-guessing the future and seeing through the false appearances that everyone else regards as the gospel truth. I, for one, am thoroughly entertained!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): How can you ripen the initiatives you have set in motion in recent weeks? Of the good new trends you have launched, which can you now install as permanent enhancements in your daily rhythm? Is there anything you might do to cash in on the quantum leaps that have occurred, maybe even figure out a way to make money from them? It’s time for you to shift from being lyrically dreamy to fiercely practical. You’re ready to convert lucky breaks into enduring opportunities.
