Black-owned cosmetics give beauty lovers range of complementary products

veryone deserves to feel beautiful in their own skin. It’s no secret that brands (in the past and even up until today) haven’t always been inclusive as far as shade and color ranges for an array of skin tones and complexions. For many women of color, makeup shopping trips were more frustrating than they were relaxing and fun. Thankfully, the landscape in the beauty industry has been changing, and there are more brands offering shade options for diverse skin tones. Also, black entrepreneurs began to create their own products with a purpose of inclusivity, representation and inspiring others to do the same. That’s because beauty should be for all. I put together this list of black-owned beauty brands you should know about and the product to try from each.

Klarity Kosmetics Founder MarQuita Jones wanted to create a brand for all ethnicities and complexions. It also was paramount that the brand be affordable, especially for single moms like her, while still offering quality, handmade, vegan and crueltyfree cosmetics including that brand’s striking liquid lipsticks, buttery highlighters and more. Try Diamond Klarity Gleaux Palette, $40, klaritykosmetics.com.

Uni Beauty Blends After suffering with cystic acne, brand founder Takiara Monet took matters into her own hands and began to research natural ingredients and remedies. Her acne cleared up in a few months, and she decided to share her natural beauty secrets with the world, encouraging other women to make taking care of themselves a priority. The brand is transparent; only

Specialties from scratch

Dunmore’s Carabello crafts fresh Italian dishes

Carabello owner Joseph Carra opened the Italian restaurant in the heart of Dunmore in 2016.

JaSon farmer / Staff PhotograPher

BY PATRICE WILDING Staff Writer

oseph Carra partnered with chef Joe Sapienza in the catering business for about a decade while he looked for a per manent brick-and-mortar place to make his own. During his search, he knew he wouldn’t settle for anything outside of his childhood home, Dunmore, where he grew up learning the finer points of Italian cuisine from his mom and both grandmothers. “I just always liked my hometown roots,” Carra said. “I like the people.” In 2016, Carra and his wife, Colleen, found the chance they had been waiting for when the building at 203 Chestnut St. — the former home of longtime

neighborhood staple Sal’s — became available. In August of that year and after extensively renovating the interior, the couple opened Carabello, an Italian bar/restaurant with seating for 70. They stationed the reliable and talented Sapienza, who previously owned his own sandwich shop, in the kitchen where microwaves are banned and everything is painstakingly made from scratch. “Everything I do is what I remember growing up with,” said Carra, pointing to family recipes, such as his mother’s Manicotti, that he serves to customers. “Each meal is made to order right from the start,” even when that means guests must wait for the freshest

food possible, he added. “It’s disgusting when it’s not done that way. We try to cook like you would at home.” While the menu mostly includes Italian specialities (the Dirty Meatballs are “loaded with garlic and olive oil and fried, while the linguine paired with diced, chopped and whole clams is one of Carabello’s best-sellers), Carra also introduces daily dinner specials made in limited quantities (“When they’re gone, they’re gone,” he noted) that give diners new things to try. Tuesdays break away from Italian cuisine to spotlight wings, burgers and clams; Fridays usually focus on fish; Saturdays go back to the roots of authentic Italian tastes. A $7.95 pasta special fills bellies

Tuesdays through Thursdays, while the Antipasto Salad served daily feeds anywhere from four to 10 people. Desserts include homemade cannoli and Napoleons trucked in from Brooklyn, and Sapienza is the “best sandwich-maker ever,” Carra boasted, thanks to his insistence on making hoagies New York-style, laden with

aged provolone, fresh mozzarella and Boar’s Head meats. “We’re good for chicken,” Carra added, suggesting the Par mesan, Marsala and Francaise variations. Carra also credited customers’ satisfaction to Tim Spano, “one of the best bartenders in Northeast PA,” who crafts a hit martini menu that includes varieties such as

Espresso and Tiramisu. “I always think it’s a good starter,” Spano said of his indemand martinis. “It’s a nice touch before dinner.” Carabello offers catering, and with private areas available for parties and plenty of parking, the Dunmore eatery is becoming a destination for special occasions in addition to regular nights out for dinner. “Everybody loves what I do.

Free Will Astrology BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): In December 1915, the California city of San Diego was suffering from a drought. City officials hired a professional “moisture accelerator” named Charles Hatfield, who promised to make it rain. Soon, Hatfield was shooting explosions of a secret blend of chemicals into the sky from the top of a tower. The results were quick. A deluge began in early January 1916 and persisted for weeks. Thirty inches of rain fell, causing floods that damaged the local infrastructure. The moral of the story, as far as you’re concerned: when you ask for what you want and need, specify exactly how much you want and need. Don’t make an open-ended request that could bring you too much of a good thing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Actors Beau and Jeff Bridges are brothers born to parents who were also actors. When they were growing up, they already had aspirations to follow in their mom’s and dad’s footsteps. From an early age, they summoned a resourceful approach to attracting an audience. Now and then, they would start a pretend fight in a store’s parking lot. When a big enough crowd had gathered to observe their shenanigans, they would suddenly break off from their faux struggle, grab their guitars from their truck and begin playing music. In the coming weeks, I hope you’ll be equally ingenious as you brainstorm about ways to expand your outreach. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): According to Edward Barnard’s book New York City Trees, a quarter of the city is shaded by its 5.2 million trees. In other words, one of the most densely populated, frantically active places on the planet has a rich collection of oxygen-generating greenery. There’s even a virgin forest at the upper tip of Manhattan as well as five botanical gardens and the 843-acre Central Park. Let’s use all this bountyamidst-the-bustle as a symbol of what you should strive to foster in the coming weeks:

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The Space Needle in Seattle, Washington, is 605 feet high and 138 feet wide: a tall and narrow tower. Near the top is a round restaurant that makes one complete rotation every 47 minutes. Although this part of the structure weighs 125 tons, for many years its motion was propelled by a mere 1.5-horsepower motor. You will have a comparable power at your disposal in the coming weeks: an ability to cause major movement with a compact output of energy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 1941, the Ford automobile company created a “biological car.” Among its components were “bioplastics” composed of soybeans, hemp, flax, wood pulp and cotton. It weighed 1,000 pounds less than a comparable car made of metal. This breakthrough possibility never fully matured, however. It was overshadowed by newly abundant plastics made from petrochemicals. I suspect that you Aquarians are at a phase with a resemblance to the biological car. Your good idea is promising but unripe. I hope you’ll spend the coming weeks devoting practical energy to developing it. (P.S. There’s a difference between you and your personal equivalent of the biological car: little competition.)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Cartographers of Old Europe sometimes drew pictures of strange beasts in the uncharted regions of their maps. These were warnings to travelers that such areas might harbor unknown risks, like dangerous animals. One famous map of the Indian Ocean shows an image of a sea monster lurking, as if waiting to prey on sailors traveling through its territory. If I were going to create a map of the frontier you’re now headed for, I would fill it with mythic beasts of a more benevolent variety, like magic unicorns, good fairies and wise centaurs.

Up Close & Personal WITH EMMA BLACK

Sam Kuchwara has exhibited art around Scranton for many years and is a regular First Friday Art Walk participant. His exhibit, “Recent Works in Painting and Mixed Media,” is on display at the Giving Tree Wellness Center on Penn Avenue in the city’s downtown through the end of February, and he will be part of an art exhibit at Adezzo, 515 Center St., Scranton, during March’s First Friday. A graduate of Scranton Preparatory School, Kuchwara studied studio art and psychology at Boston College. The Dickson City resident and avid runner works for Scranton Running Co. Meet Sam Kuchwara...

Q: A:

Describe your style as an artist. I gravitate toward landscapes. I really like landscapes because you can commemorate a place, not only a place you like, but you think about what you remember from the place while you’re making it. Especially if it’s a sentimental place, painting is a good time to just sit and think about it. I think a big part of my style is incorporating the mixed media. It’s partly just me using what I have and trying to add an extra purpose of practicality. It also brings a lot of texture, color and makes some edges more prominent. I always get told I’m an impressionist. That’s just my tendency. I get into this groove where I just keep my hand moving the whole time. A lot of people say my work has a pattern or rhythm to it.

also like the involvement with different venues and getting to know the owners and people who come in. It’s become a way to connect with all the new and old places around.

One of your recent projects is a joint effort with NOTE Fragrances creating candles that feature your artwork. How did that come about? It was last fall, and the Christmas holiday market was coming up. I was already doing the Scranton mural prints, and they were popular gifts. I was trying to think of what else I could add (that) wasn’t just art — it was something people could use. One of my friends is friends with the people at NOTE Fragrances and suggested I get my work printed on candles. They helped me pick out some scents and names for them. They let me choose what scents I wanted to go with my artwork. People really liked them, and I liked the process, too, of picking scents. They do an awesome job making them, but I enjoyed curating things and picking a match.

Q: A:

You run Electric City Boogie at the Bog. Tell me about that. It’s a project that I do with my friend Justin Padro. I used to always go to Panked! (dance parties), and they announced they were going to stop doing it after 10 years. One day I asked if they’d let Justin and I pick it up. We wanted to do a continuation of Panked! but make it our own. We did our first one on a weekend in June two years ago, and it was a super fun, and a ton of people came out. We’ve been doing it ever since. It’s a combination of dance music that is popular and everybody knows; sometimes SaturBae plays, and on weeknights we can experiment and do our own thing. Justin does most of the deejaying, and I’ll do more of the dance stuff and promote it. There is a lot of overlap with that and art. I design posters for it, and it’s become a graphic design project for me.

need to make a commitment to it. There will be days that I need to just show up when I don’t feel like it and start doing it. I know I’ll be reminded all over again of why I do art. This is a part of what I do now. It’s more than just a hobby, and there are layers of interest to it. Sometimes it’s fun to work just a little, but if I do more and work harder, I’m going to feel a lot better. It’s not 100 percent my job, but I’m learning more and more to treat it as a job and enjoy it at the same time.

Q: A:

The final word is yours. Coming back home and doing more shows, most of my friends are connected in some way. Some of them aren’t artists, but so many of my close friends are somehow connected. Through these shows, I’ve met so many awesome people and made so many close friends, and that’s been inspiring and so supportive. Even just seeing some of my friends’ work makes me want to paint.

BY PATRICE WILDING Staff Writer

n the borough of Lehighton in the heart of Carbon County, folks are glad to see Another Day Dawns. The alternative/hard rock band has gained steam and a loyal following for its energetic live shows in the past few years, and was a finalist in the national “neXt2rock” contest, taking the young group to Los Angeles. Though Another Day Dawns didn’t take home the top prize, the band earned even more attention, this time from industry heavyweights, such as songwriter Desmond Child, who has written hits for Aerosmith, Bon Jovi and more.

of the different influences and backgrounds we all have. But on this we felt it all flowed together perfectly and should be able to please listeners of all of the rock spectrum and all ages. How did growing up and living in Northeast Pennsylvania influence your work ethic? It’s tough in our area; you have to put in twice the amount of work to make the connections or breakthroughs rather than you would in L.A. or something with a bigger market. What is a live performance by Another Day Dawns like? Honestly, it’s a crazy experience. We keep the

crowd going no matter if you’re head banging with us or just vibing with the atmosphere that’s all around. We always stress the elements of what makes each song unique, to keep each song at the right level of emotion while keeping the energy constant. What’s in store for the EP release show? We have all new merchandise available, which we are really excited about. We have brand new songs we will be performing, and basically just taking our show and turning it up to 11.

FILM

Henson’s comedic timing makes ‘What Men Want’ funny, entertaining

ay this for Taraji P. Henson: When she commits to a role, she commits to a role, and she is the primary reason why the cheerfully bawdy comedy “What Men Want” is consistently funny and entertaining. Even when it’s beyond ridiculous. Directed with breezy style by Adam Shankman (“Hairspray”) and featuring winning performances by Henson and a supporting cast led by Tracy Morgan and Richard Roundtree — not to mention a bunch of sports celebs playing themselves — “What Men Want” is a remake of the Mel Gibsonstarring hit “What Women Want” from 2000. Remember 2000, when Mel Gibson was still in his prime and was one of the more likable and bankable movie stars in the world? In the Nancy Meyers-directed “What Women Want,” Gibson’s Nick is a boorish, sexist advertising executive in Chicago who is knocked out by an electric shock, wakes up and discovers he can hear women’s thoughts. In “What Men Want,” the story is relocated to Atlanta, where Henson’s Ali is a multitasking, career-driven sports agent with a powerful agency that seems to have about 500 employees working out of headquarters roughly the size of the D o m e s t i c Te r m i n a l at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. (Movies about sports agencies and newsrooms and advertising and PR firms often feature scenes in which dozens of people are walking around with great purpose. How does anyone get anything done with all the walking?) With her trusty assistant (Josh Brener) catering to her every whim and follow-

ing her around like a newborn puppy, Ali arrives at work convinced she’s about to shatter the glass ceiling and be named the first female partner in the testosterone-fueled agency. (This is the kind of place where the guys won’t even admit to the women they have regular poker games, and the head of the agency literally throws a football around in meetings.)

To Ali’s shock, she’s passed over for a smarmy male hotshot, so she goes on quite the bender. She hooks up with a handsome bartender named Will (Aldis Hodge) for a one-night stand, shows up late and hung over and disheveled (to say the least) for an important meet-and-greet the next day, and eventually winds up in the hospital after a bachelorette party that included the ingestion of multiple mood-altering substances, not to mention a seemingly crazy psychic (Erykah Badu) putting some kind of spell on her. When Ali wakes up, she discovers she can hear the

Henson, Aldis Hodge, Tracy Morgan, Josh Brener, Richard Roundtree Rated: R for language and sexual content throughout, and some drug material Running time: 117 minutes Grade: ★★★ (out of four) thoughts of all men, and off we go with the comedic hijinks. Of course Ali is going to use this new gift to her advantage, whether she’s at work or she’s in the elevator with the hunky neighbor (Kellan Lutz, in a funny, selfdeprecating tur n) she’s always wanted to, um, get to know a little bit better. But one of the pleasures

of “What Men Want” is how the screenplay scores points about the mindset of the American male without being mean-spirited or overly cynical. As Ali walks through the of fice, she hears some sur prising truths about how the men view her, but she also discovers some of them aren’t as macho and jerky as they project themselves to be.

Insecurities abound. The great Tracy Morgan is fantastic as Joe, the selfpromoting, LaVar Ball-like f ather/a g ent of Jamal (Shane Paul McGhie), a Georgia Tech point guard projected to be the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft. If Ali can win over Joe and sign Jamal, her agency will have no choice but to name her partner, so she concocts an elaborate scheme involving the aforementioned Will the bartender (who is a single father) and Will’s young son, who have no idea they’re being used as pawns in the plan. Uh-oh. There’s a hit-and-miss element to the comedic set pieces. A wedding ceremony gone horribly wrong is more cringe-inducing than funny, but a poker game in which Ali plays against Mark Cuban and Shaquille O’Neal, among others, is flat-out funny, and the sex scenes with Ali and Will are as memorably hilarious as the Mel Gibson/ Marisa Tomei hookup in the original film. There’s even room for a touching scene in which A l i ’s f a t h e r ( R i c h a r d Roundtree) and Will bond over their common experience as men who lost their wives too soon and had to raise a child on their own. At the center of it all is Henson, whose Ali is moviestar glamorous one moment, self-destructive hot mess the next. Henson displays impeccable comedic timing in creating a character who is deeply flawed but inherently likable, and someone we’re rooting for every step of the way.

atthew West looks at concerts as a time of connections. Hearing the crowd sing songs back to him never gets old, explained the singer-songwriter behind hit Christian rock music. It tells him that a song means something to them or maybe helped them through a tough time, and that’s why he gets so excited to go out on stage. “There’s a distance when you write a song and you release it on the radio,” West said by phone recently from Nashville. “They’re connected to the song. ... But then (I can) be with that crowd in person and have a moment in time when everyone’s lives kind of collide that one night.” One such collision is set to happen Saturday, Feb. 23, at 6 p.m. when West

brings the Roadshow Tour to Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza, Wilkes-Barre Twp. Tenth Avenue North and Matt Maher will join him for the night, which also will feature worship with special guest Michael W. Smith and Leanna Crawford. West has earned four Grammy nominations and a Primetime Emmy nomination for original music and lyrics, received the Billboard Music Award for top Christian artist in 2014 and was named Billboard’s Hot Christian Songwriter of the Year in 2016. He has sold more than 1.6 million albums, with his most recent, “All In,” released in 2017. “I would say first and foremost, I’m passionate about the craft of songwriting, and I take the lyrics and the music and putting the music together very seriously,” West said. When he performs at the arena, the

audience can expect to hear a mix of new and old songs. “We’ve been doing a tribute to (the) Rev. Billy Graham, who passed away last year,” West said. “Billy Graham had a profound impact on my life. We’ve got a really powerful video presentation that goes along with that song that the crowd has really been responding to in a powerful way. ... I say that’s been one of the special moments.” As a father, West said, trying to find music with suitable messages and that he feels comfortable with his children listening to is a challenge. But Christian music offers uplifting messages, he added. “You can fill your stomach with health food or junk food, and you can fill your ears with the same things. ... This show’s going to bring it,” West said. “It’s going to be high-energy and tons of fun, but it’s going to be a positive message.

“People come to these concerts, and so many people are literally going through the fight of their lives. And the chance … that I get to encourage them? That’s a tremendous honor for me and all the other artists.” West also said he sees concerts as “mountaintop experiences.” “It’s a moment, it’s a night in your life where ... there’s a chance to press that pause button and be reminded that there’s something bigger happening and that there’s someone who loves us enough to say … ‘be refreshed,’” he said. “When people walk out of that concert, that road show, (I want them to) be reminded that whatever they’re going through, it’s too big for them, but it’s not too big for the God who loves them. And that’s the message.” Contact the writer: cwest@timesshamrock. com; 570-348-9100 x5107; @cheaneywest on Twitter

Empty Bottles Robust, rich wines perfect for mid-winter blues

ou can warm up and break your cabin fever with some big wines that take the place of comfort food — robustly flavored, rich and on the high-end with alcohol. The go-to grapes would include zinfandel, petite sirah and often cabernet. You may feel like a prisoner during a cold snap. The Prisoner Red is big wine, a blend intended to mimic the “field blends” made by early winemakers from whatever was planted in their fields. The wine features zinfandel, cabernet sauvignon, petite sirah and

charbono, wines with a long heritage in California. A ripe, sweet wine, The Prisoner smells of candied cherry and chocolate and shows intense flavors of ripe berries and vanilla. It’s a mouthful and better as a dessert wine. $44. ★★★ 1/2 Brady Vineyards 2013 Paso Robles Petite Sirah has a blackberry jam smell and mouth-filling taste of black fruit, spice and vanilla with a soft-landing finish. $20. ★★★ 1/2 For something drier and more traditional,

EMPTY BOTTLES / CALENDAR

try Clos du Bois 2015 Alexander Valley Marlstone, a California Bordeaux-style blend. This elegant, complex wine of berry, plum and clove character has the structure of the style it tries to emulate. It’s not a bad idea to get a few and wait three to five years for a future cold snap (or any occasion), although it would age for up to 10 or 15 years. At $25, this wine, usually retailing for $40plus, is a deal. ★★★★ 1/2 I can’t write about big wines and not mention Michael David, which produces wines

that drink like a meal. Try Earthquake Zinfandel or Petite Petit, a blend of petite sirah and petit verdot. Remember, spring is around the corner, and many of these wines also pair with grilled meats. GRADE: Exceptional ★★★★★, Above average ★★★★, Good ★★★, Below average ★★, Poor ★. DAVID FALCHEK, executive director of the American Wine Society, reviews wines each week.

SOUNDS / CALENDAR

Sounds BY MIKE EVANS Latest from Art D’ecco, Dragon Inn 3, Teleman worth a spin Art D’ecco — ‘Trespasses’ THE GOOD: Glam-rocker Art D’Ecco comes back with a confident second record. THE BAD: No issues. THE NITTY GRITTY: Hailing from the Pacific islands off the coast of British Columbia, “Trespasses” may as well be from Berlin circa 1976 or London five years prior to that. D’Ecco has nailed down prime ’70s Bowie and T-Rex, but there’s so much more here than those usual go-to influences. The guy doesn’t shy away from echoes of more pop-orientated acts from the sub-genre, people like the Sweet and Sparks. Sure, “Trespasses” has its cryptic, prog-leaning moments, such as epic closer “The Hunted.” However, most of the record is big on androgynous, danceable, New Wave ditties such as “Joy” and “Nobody’s Home.” D’Ecco conceived the album at his grandmother’s cottage while helping her cope with Alzheimer’s disease. But there’s nothing quaint or small town about these sounds. “Trespasses” is BIG on wobbly synths, razor-sharp guitars, thick back beats and a slightly sleazy urban vibe. What fun. BUY IT?: Yes.

Dragon Inn 3 — ‘Double Line’ THE GOOD: A Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin side project actually turns out a pretty decent synth-pop record. THE BAD: “Double Line” barely clocks in at 30 minutes, but that just leaves you wanting more. THE NITTY GRITTY: SSLYBY leader Philip Dickey recruited both his sister, Sharon Bowie, and his wife, Grace Bentley, for vocal and songwriting duties, and they all put together the record in on-again, off-again fashion over the past five years. The end result is a super-simple, highly infectious, feel-good mix of early Human League and prime Book of Love. It makes for an ’80s throwback that sounds amazingly fresh. Highlights include the swirling and romantic “Juliet”; the pulsating, robotic “Club Sauce”; and catchy (and over far-too-quickly) “Double Line Theme.” It’s ALL good though. Hopefully this won’t be it for Dragon Inn 3. Right now, the trio seems more “recording project” than proper band, but additional output from them wouldn’t be a bad thing. The album’s formula certainly is worth revisiting. BUY IT?: Sure.

Teleman — ‘Family of Aliens’ THE GOOD: British indie pop band Teleman comes back with its third. THE BAD: Some lesser tracks aside, I have no complaints. THE NITTY GRITTY: The band takes its name (sort of) from Baroque composer Georg Philipp Telemann, who wrote melodies so insanely catchy that he gave the more famous Bach a run for his money almost every time. I guess that’s appropriate. Combining synthpop, ’80s new romantic, ’90s New Order and a hint of modern indie (there ARE guitars on this record too), Teleman delivers a breezy, seamless set with just the right amount of substance to keep the songs from simply floating away. “Cactus” rides a gentle funk. “Song for a Seagull” and “Sea of Wine” wrap up the listener in the most delicate, sweetest ear candy. “Always Dreaming” is slightly more unpredictable, recalling the progressive echoes of a group such as Field Music. The robotic “Submarine Life” resembles a dreamier take on Daft Punk. It’s a warm blend that rarely disappoints. BUY IT?: Sure. Contact the writer: mevans@shamrocknepa.com

I’m flattered but not really interested, as I want to get married again and I’m thinking that these guys are too young to consider that and probably want to have babies. Am I a magnet for guys with mommy issues? What gives? — Puzzled Nothing like rolling up to your guy’s band’s gig and having everybody be all, “Mike, your mom’s here!” As for these young whippersnappers’ intentions, chances are the only “aisle” they’re looking to walk down with you is the one from the front door to their bedroom in the pizza box graveyard-slash-apartment they share with a bunch of dudebros. Of course, men, just like women, can get to a point where they’re ready for cuddlyschmuddlywuddly forever — which is to say, a relationship. However, evolutionary psychologist David Buss explained that there’s strong evidence from a good deal of research that men (who don’t have to worry that they’ll get pregnant from sex) evolved to “have a greater desire for shortterm mating” — casual sex with a variety of partners. Buss noted that there are some stumbling blocks for men in short-term mating mode. A major one is “the problem of avoiding commitment.” That’s where you older but still hot ladies sometimes come in. Older women are less likely to demand a relationship with an age-inappropriate part-

ner. Of course, older women also are likely to be sexually experienced and sexually adventuresome in a way younger women aren’t. And, unlike younger women, who often are shy about expressing what they want in bed, older women can stop just short of going all Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: “Faster, you maggot, faster! And 3 millimeters up and a centimeter to the left!” The thing is, sometimes two people with the most casual of sexual intentions unexpectedly fall for each other. But if you and the young hardbodies can stay in the sex-only lane, your having regular sex might help you take your time getting to know dates with real partner potential for you rather than flying right into bed. Finally — generally speaking — there’s the obvious plus in sex romps with the young Turks: fewer occasions when the manparts are like papier-mache fruit — for decorative purposes only.

The bedder business bureau I’m a woman with a male business partner. He just got a new girlfriend, and he pretty much goes MIA whenever he goes to visit her. It can take him up to two days to return my phone calls, and I’ll have to call or text two or three times to get him to respond. (I’m contacting him about business, not social stuff.) He is usually — well, used to be — very available by phone. His disappearing act when he’s with the girlfriend is really annoying and detrimental to our business

and, frankly, pretty disrespectful. I’ve made jokes about it, but nothing’s changed. Help. — Annoyed “Hello, Search and Rescue? Can you send out a team? I think my business partner is lost in his girlfriend’s pants.” Tempting as it must be to blast your partner for constantly leaving you in the telephonic lurch, you’d be better off simply telling him that it feels really crappy to have your calls and texts go ignored for days; you feel disrespected. Research by social psychologist C. Daniel Batson and his colleagues suggested that we have an evolved motivation to try to alleviate others’ pain, to help other humans struggling emotionally (or are otherwise in need). However, there’s a caveat: If a person’s pain or need is expressed with an attack on our behavior, we’re likely to go into fight-back mode instead of “there, there, lemme see what I can do to make things better” mode. As for why you have yet to get through to him, you write, “I’ve made jokes about it, but nothing’s changed.” Jokes are just the thing if you’re putting on a show with a two-drink minimum; not so much if you’re trying to communicate your needs (especially to a man). The same goes for hints. Instead, opt for healthy assertiveness — from the start. Figure out what you need — how soon you’d like to have a callback — and then express that. You may not get exactly the timetable you want, but this at least opens up a discussion.

MINI MOVIES Alita: Battle Angel: In a dystopian future, an abandoned cyborg with unique fighting skills is revived by a fatherly physician (Christoph Waltz). Like the title character, “Alita” is an amalgam — of “Terminator,” “Blade Runner” and many others — without a unique identity of its own. We’ve seen this movie before. Many times. Rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and for some language. 142 minutes. ★ 1/2 — RICHARD ROEPER

Aquaman: The saving grace of this reasonably entertaining and sometimes truly ridiculous origin story is that everyone seems to get the sheer, waterlogged lunacy of the concept, so why not have fun with it? As the fish-man, Jason Momoa has the physicality and the willingness to make himself look silly, and the natural charisma of a Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and for some language. 143 minutes. ★★★

Happy Death Day 2U: There’s a surprisingly sweet heart lurking beneath all the bloody rinse-and-repeat hijinks in this cheerfully twisted sequel, following up on the college student (Jessica Rothe) who relives her murder over and over.

Glass: M. Night Shyamalan’s jigsaw puzzle of a trilogy that began with “Unbreakable” and “Split” ends in disappointment with this underwhelming, half-baked, slightly sour and even off-putting finale. Despite the game efforts of Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson and James McAvoy, the plot begins to crack early in the first act and shatters to pieces in the last moments. Rated PG-13 for violence including some bloody images, thematic elements and language. 129 minutes. ★★1/2 — RICHARD ROEPER
