‘Last to Die’ a thrilling whodunit Last to Die by Kate Brady; Forever, 2010; 432 pages; $6.99

By Charlee Harris Special to The Star

“Hook, poke through, and twist. Hook, poke through, and twist.”

This weird kind of sing-song melody belongs to both the killer and readers of Kate Brady’s Last to Die. But what is not necessarily good for the killer is wonderful for readers of chill thrillers. You’ll find yourself hooked, and then twisting in the wind with Dani Cole, a heroine who finds herself forced to work against her dead cop father’s shady reputation hanging on her shoulders and an old love still hanging out in her heart after 18 years. For any mystery buff who enjoys Patricia Cromwell, you will definitely enjoy Brady.

Twisting in the wind is one of my most favorite things for any whodunit. The real trick of a good mystery writer is not to stray so far from the unknown that the story becomes confusing. With Brady,

even her secondary characters have a place and hold it well.

There are no empty sections in any chapter to confuse the reader. And yet, she withholds the anonymity of the psychopaths long enough that the tug of war between good and evil remain fresh. Adding a loving pit bull named “Runt” only enhances the multilayered menagerie of characters.

Danni, her partner Tift, her lover Mitch, and his brother Neil Sheridan, all find themselves locked together to ward off the evil of a serial killer. Their problem becomes staying alive until they can identify and catch this horrific assassin. Six women have been horribly murdered and disfigured, then dumped with no forensic evidence to aid the police. It is during the investigation that crooked cops with their mob con-

And though they aren’t nearly as wealthy as Cal and Ivy, Charlie and Lena live in a nice house and can afford part-time childcare.

But their youngest child is seriously ill and frequently rushed to the emergency room. Without funding for Charlie’s company, they are one hospital visit away from bankruptcy, and Edgarian makes you feel their anxiety — tempered, as it must be, in order for both of them to continue on with their daily tasks — without once veering into parlor-room melodrama.

Edgarian is an exceptionally gifted and generous storyteller, able to dig deep underneath the bedrock of human connection to get at what we mean when we don’t say what we mean, and how we cope with that point in our lives when it might be time to compromise for what we can still accomplish.

tacts begin to float to the surface adding confusion.

Last To Die has all the elements I love in a clandestine novel. It has a tough hero and heroine, cryptic murders, crooked cops and a fast-flowing read (I read it cover to cover in a day).

I never heard of Kate Brady until I picked up this book. And I do not recommend an author to my friends or strangers unless I believe it has merit. Brady is one of the newest writers of romantic thrillers on the market, and Last to Die is her second novel. She is also a full-time choral director and professor of music. Regardless of which road she chooses in the future, professor or writer, I believe she will be around for quite some time.

Hometown pride Heflin Community Arts Council to present ‘The Foreigner’

By Brett Buckner Special to the Star

For every performance, Shane Smith hopes to have that one person in the audience whose laugh resonates across the theater. A lot is riding on that person, whether they know it or not.

Their well-timed guffaws not only put the actors at ease, letting them know that their punch lines are being both delivered and received, but they also relax the rest of the audience.

As every good director knows, laughter is contagious.

“Of course there is such a thing as someone who laughs too much,” Smith says with a chuckle of his own.

“But that’s not something I’m all that worried about.”

Neither should be a lack of laughter, given that Smith is directing the upcoming production of The Foreigner for the Heflin Arts Council. It’s a farce that promises to keep its audience in stitches, Smith says.

“It’s really all over the place,” he

says. “It’s fast-paced and hilarious, something the entire community should really enjoy.”

The Foreigner demonstrates what can go wrong when a group of devious characters reveal their darkest secrets in the midst of a stranger they mistakenly believe cannot speak English.

The play is set in a fishing lodge somewhere in rural Georgia and serves as a getaway for “Froggy” LeSeuer (played by Mike Stedham), a British demolition expert who runs training sessions at a nearby Army base. This year Froggy has brought along a friend, a shy young man named Charlie (played by Don Davis) who is overcome with fear at the thought of making conversation with strangers.

In order to make his friend comfortable, Froggy tells everyone Charlie is from a foreign country and cannot speak English. When Froggy leaves, Charlie is ignored to the point where he is allowed to overhear everyone’s dirty little secrets — a

minister’s evil plans, that the minister’s fiancée is pregnant; and many other damaging revelations.

“And from there, much hilarity ensues,” says Stedham. “This is really the perfect show for a community theater because all of the characters are so sharply defined. It’s the type of show that audiences really come to see because it’s just so much fun.”

But like the rest of those with whom he shares the stage, Stedham understands the challenge of making the audience laugh. In some ways, their performance depends on it.

“It’s the immediate feedback you get from the audience that lets us know we’ve got the timing right,” he says. “And when the jokes aren’t going over … there’s no worse feeling in the world.”

Of course, a quiet audience doesn’t necessarily mean a humorless audience, Smith explains.

“Every audience is different and not everyone laughs out loud,” he

‘Homefront’ campaign falls short

martrt hopper

By Dirk Lammers Associated Press

After playing my share of firstperson shooters set on foreign soil, I was really looking forward to doing battle on some more familiar, albeit occupied, ground in “Homefront.”

THQ’s first-person shooter set in 2027 after a unified Korea attacks and invades the United States, does a great job on setting. I mean, how often do you get to fire a sniper rifle from the roof of a White Castle restaurant?

But its great back story and the ability to fight in American suburbs falls short of making up for a waytoo-short single-player campaign.

Fortunately, the game’s rich multiplayer mode still makes it worth a look.

“Homefront” ($59.99, for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3) begins by recapping the 16 years leading up to the Korean occupation. Seeing the attacks, the war atrocities and the detention of Americans makes the player want to grab a gun and help take America back, but your role in the resistance movement proves to be much more narrow — and short.

In the single-player game, which took less than six hours to complete, you’re tasked for a series of short missions that help the American resistance. Standard wartime game play is helped by little atmospheric touches such as a TigerDirect.com

THQ/Associated Press

Explosives rain down on a gas station in the video game ‘Homefront.’ warehouse set ablaze and an abandoned Hooters restaurant, but the whole experience is over too quickly.

Speaking of game play, both single- and multiplayer have a “Call of Duty” feel. Controls deviate little from the typical first-person shooter set — on the Xbox 360, right trigger to fire, left trigger to aim down the sight and right and left bumpers to throw grenades or other explosives.

I found myself drawn to multiplayer rather than replaying the campaign for achievement points.

“Homefront” features three multiplayer modes. Team Deathmatch is just like it sounds — kill any enemies you find and rack up points.

In Ground Control, two teams try to take control of and hold certain areas of the map. Battle Commander borrows from the other two modes but involves a leader dictating the missions.

Players earn Battle Points, which can be used during matches to buy new weapons, vehicles or embark on drone attacks and airstrikes. And being able to kill an enemy by flying an attack drone or helicopter or sneaking up on someone with a ground attack robot is a lot of fun.

“Homefront” is a decent game that dares to deviate in plot, if not too much with game play.

Panic! at the Disco downsizes, may head to B’way

By Mesfin Fekadu Associated Press

NEW YORK — Panic! at the Disco could be following in the footsteps of The Who and Green Day. Like those rockers before them, the Las Vegasbased band is interested in taking their sound to Broadway.

“That would be amazing,” drummer Spencer Smith said in a recent interview. “To put together a show that was a mix of our music as well as maybe tell a story ... that would be like a dream,” he continued.

Smith acknowledges that he doesn’t know how to make that happen for Panic! — or if the goal is even possible.

“It would be in like New Jersey. Like off-Broadway. Really far,” Smith said, sharing a laugh with Brendon Urie, the band’s vocalist.

Tommy, the 1969 album from the Who, was adapted to a Tony-winning Broadway musical in the early 1990s. Most recently, Green Day gave new life to their Grammy-winning, multiplatinum-selling CD, 2004’s American Idiot, when they brought the concept album to Broadway last year in a Tony Award-winning production.

But heading to the stage wouldn’t be a stretch for Panic! From the music video for their debut song, “I Write Sins Not Tragedies,” to their latest clip, “The Ballad of Mona Lisa,” the pop-rockers enjoy acting, dressing up and being theatrical.

“Every musician wants to act, but we have a way to do it where people know we’re not trained actors, so we can be a little bit cheesy,” Smith said.

They can also be seen acting in The Overture, a short film they released on their website to promote Vices & Virtues, their third album which debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 chart this week.

Urie says this time around, the group had more creative agreement while making the album because they downsized. Singer-guitarist Ryan Ross and bassist Jon Walker left Panic! in 2009 and formed the band The Young Veins, releasing the album Take a Vacation! in June.

“Everybody wants their opinion heard and so you argue a lot more with four cooks in the kitchen,” Urie said. “(Spencer and I) had been on the same page (regarding) where we saw the album going so in that sense there wasn’t really any arguing and that kind of helped.”

Smith said after finishing the tour to promote 2008’s Pretty. Odd., band members were split about the creative path for Panic!’s future.

The duo will kick off a European tour April 29.

They’ll hit the road in America on May 22 in Boston.

Cee Lo on Oprah, Charles Barkley

By Dan Sewell Associated Press

CINCINNATI — Nothing like a mega-hit to keep you busy.

Cee Lo Green, who flew back to Los Angeles this week to re-do “Forget You” as a benefit song for the nation’s volunteer firefighters, will return to Europe next week to resume a concert tour and then will tour this summer with Rihanna.

Fresh off his feather-bedecked Grammy Awards performance with Gwyneth Paltrow and Jim Henson puppets, Cee Lo also is part of the upcoming NBC music reality show The Voice, among other projects.

He appeared in the recent Points of Light volunteer service gala attended by the four living former presidents, singing with Sam Moore of the classic Sam & Dave duo.

Before heading into the studio to record “Thank You” for Procter & Gamble Co.’s Duracell batteries’ firefighters campaign, the Atlanta-born singer-songwriter gave some quick comments on his popular “Gnarls Barkley” duo — so dubbed as a parody of famous people’s names— and his penchant for dressing up in out-

Q: Christina Aguilera. Gwyneth Paltrow. Rihanna. Who’s the next woman you’re going to be performing with?

A: Oprah Winfrey. I’m going to do her show for the first time. Hopefully, it will be the start of a friendship.

Q: What’s the wildest or favorite costume you’ve dressed up in?

A: The most notable is going to be the Grammy show. That was an homage to Elton John’s 1977 performance of “Crocodile Rock” on The Muppet Show.

Q: Who’s your favorite Muppet?

A: Animal! (laughing).

Q: What’s your favorite reality TV show?

A: To be totally honest, I’m not really much of a fan of reality TV. I don’t really have one; I wish I did.

Q: Did you ever hear from Charles Barkley about the name?

A: We were going to have him accept an award with us, but it didn’t work out. He’s been a good sport about it.

Chris Brown hits No. 1 with ‘F.A.M.E.’

By Randy Lewis Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Like the adage about bad publicity, R&B singer Chris Brown proves that there’s also no such thing as a bad meltdown on national TV as long as they spell your name correctly and plug your new album.

That album, F.A.M.E., entered the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart at No. 1 with first-week sales of 270,000 copies, the second highest total of the year, despite — or perhaps partly because of — the singer’s tirade after ABCTV’s Good Morning America host Robin Roberts asked him about his assault on former girlfriend Rihanna rather than limiting their discussion to the album.

It gives Brown his first No. 1 on the national album chart, although its initial-week sales total is slightly down from his 2007 high of 294,000 for Exclusive, which peaked at No. 4 in Billboard.

A day after his angry outburst, Brown told the BET Channel’s 106 & Park show, “I felt like they told us this just so they could get us on the show to exploit me. That’s what I thought. So I kind of took it very, very hard. And I kept my composure throughout the interview, although you could see me upset, you know. I kept my composure and did my performances, and when I got back, I just let off, like, steam in the back ... I just had to release the anger

that I had inside me, because I felt like I worked so hard for this music.”

Brown’s appearance Tuesday on ABC’s Dancing With the Stars helped the show take the night’s TV rating contest, although some participants expressed disappointment that the show had invited him on in light of the 2009 domestic violence case.

Coming in well behind Brown in the No. 2 spot on this week’s chart is Jennifer Hudson’s latest, “I Remember Me,” which was overseen by veteran music mogul Clive Davis. It sold 165,000 copies.

Among four new titles in the top 5 this week are the Strokes’ Angles, which debuted at No. 4 on first week sales of 89,000 copies, close behind Adele’s 21, which remained strong at No. 3 on sales of 96,000 copies. Adele’s album still holds the lead for 2011 in first-week sales, with an initial total of 352,000. Gospel artist Kirk Franklin’s Hello Fear entered at No. 5, with sales of 87,000, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

On the singles front, Katy Perry’s “E.T.” with Kanye West has climbed to the No. 1 spot, making it her fourth charttopping single from her Teenage Dream album, which also hit No. 1 last summer upon its release. Billboard notes that it’s the first album to put four singles at No. 1 since Usher’s Confessions accomplished that feat in 2004, and it’s only the ninth album to do so in the chart’s 52-year history.

High hopes for heavy metal Sinatra tribute

By Wayne Parry Associated Press

Various Artists Sin-atra (Eagle Rock) Just what makes those heavy metal rockers Think they can sing like ‘ol Frank Sinatra?

Everyone knows a rocker can’t sound like Sinatra But they’ve got high hopes.

And some of those hopes are even justified on Sin-atra, an interesting and most unexpected heavy metal tribute album to Frank Sinatra. This is where the Chairman of the Board meets the power chord.

The best here — by far — is Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider’s version of “It Was A Very Good Year,” a preening, insistent remake somewhat reminiscent of Queen’s “Innuendo” that lets Snider

stretch his vocal talents into the higher ranges while remaining true to the spirit of the original.

Most of the songs on “Sinatra” fall into two distinct categories: those that embrace the melody that was Sinatra’s hallmark, and those that bash melody in the head, stomp on its broken body, and then floss with it.

Falling firmly into the latter category is the opener, “New York, New York” by Strapping Young Lad’s Devin Townsend. This track is so aggressively, over-the-top awful that it sounds like a bad Jack Black parody. The screams, growls and campy ringmasterlike asides will doubtless have Francis Albert Sinatra spinning in his grave.

R.E.M. in fine form on ‘Collapse into Now’

By Rob Merrill Associated Press

R.E.M., Collapse Into Now (Warner Bros.)

The fifteenth studio album from R.E.M. finds the band at turns combative and mellow. The opening song, “Discoverer,” could have been a bonus track on “Accelerate.” It’s all hard-driving guitars and that classic Stipe growl.

With ten of the dozen tracks under four minutes, “All The Best” follows quickly with a challenge to the younger generation: “I think I’ll sing in a rhyme/I’ll give it one more time/I’ll show the kids how to do it fine, fine, fine.”

The album then hits its stride with a quartet of contemplative songs: “UBerlin,” “Oh My Heart,” “It Happened Today” and “Every Day is Yours to Win.” This is the R.E.M. mainstream audiences love. Stipe’s lyrics are sung poetry over the top of Peter Buck’s simple chords.

The biggest misfire is the final track, “Blue.” Patti Smith’s guest vocal is mostly lost amid Stipe’s monotone reading of a poem. Diehard R.E.M. fans may deconstruct it for meaning, but at more than five minutes it literally stops the momentum of an otherwise well-balanced album.

CHECK OUT THIS TRACK: “It Happened Today” features Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder backing up Stipe during the chorus before they together belt out a wordless harmony in a song that would be fun to see performed live.

Cheap Trick’s Robin Zander tackles “Fly Me To The Moon,” but his softer-edged vocals clash with the harsh foundation of the track’s guitar, bass and drums. Mr. Big’s Eric Martin fares better on “Lady Is A Tramp,” and it’s worth the entire price of the album just to hear Anthrax’s Joey Belladonna croon “doo-be-doo-be-doo” on “Strangers In The Night.”

CHECK THIS TRACK OUT: Warrant’s Jani Lane closes out the disc with a decent remake of “That’s Life,” with a tasty guitar solo from Richie Kotzen. But what this track really proves is how much better David Lee Roth did it 25 years ago, with a lot more of the Sinatra swagger and showmanship that really pushes the song across the finish line.

Depp has more ‘Pirates’ adventures on the horizon

Review

By David Germain Associated Press

Film District/Associated Press

Patrick Wilson, left, and Rose Byrne are shown in a scene from ‘Insidious.’

‘Insidious’ mixes shocks and laughs insidious HH1/2 rating: PG-13 for thematic material, violence, terror and frightening images, and brief strong language Running time: 1:42 Starring: Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne

Whannell, who originated the Saw series, also use silence quite skillfully to build real fear and suspense. They don’t offer anything you haven’t experienced before in the genre — and it doesn’t take too long to figure out this is their version of Poltergeist — but they put the pieces together effecBy Christy Lemire tively. You know the scares are coming, and yet you hold your breath waiting for them to Associated Press happen. And it certainly helps their cause Insidious is the kind of movie you could to have a cast led by actors who can actually watch with your eyes closed and still feel act. engrossed by it.

Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne star as It’s a haunted-house thriller filled with Josh and Renai, a husband and wife who’ve all the usual creaking doors, groaning floors just moved into a charming, old Craftsman and things that go bump in the night, but with their two young sons and an infant it’ll also grab you with some disturbing, daughter.

Soon afterward, he slips into a same time, it’s kind of a kick. (The titles are mysterious coma, which lasts months.

something all normal, sane people would do if their house were freaking them out: They move.

But as the ads inform us in what was meant to be a tease but is closer to a spoiler, it’s not the house that’s haunted.

We’ll try not to give the whole thing away ourselves. But Insidious does allow Wan and Whannell to trot out every creepy dead-person image imaginable. Again, you’ve seen them all before, and in the moment they may seem rather amusing. The film’s use of Tiny Tim’s “Tiptoe Through the Tulips” is weirdly hilarious but also, admittedly, it sends a shiver.

And just when you think things couldn’t get any more tense, some much-needed comic relief comes in the form of a couple of geeky paranormal experts (Whannell himself and Angus Sampson) who try to one-up each other in their usefulness and knowledge. Longtime character actress Lin Shaye (There’s Something About Mary) eventually joins them as the Zelda Rubenstein figure, who comes to retrieve the little boy’s lost soul.

She, and everyone else involved, know that the “gotcha” scares are what you came for, but they’re here to have a little fun, as well. With Insidious, these experiences are frequently one and the same.

LAS VEGAS — Johnny Depp’s tour guide on his Pirates of the Caribbean voyages is plotting the course for a fifth installment even before the fourth movie sails into theaters.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer says he has a screenplay in the works for a fifth Pirates tale after May’s Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides comes out.

Based on the Disney theme-park ride, the original three Pirates blockbusters ended up as a trilogy continuing the same key characters and story line. Bruckheimer says On Stranger Tides and future Pirates flicks will be stand-alone stories continuing the adventures of Depp’s woozy buccaneer Capt. Jack Sparrow.

Directed by Rob Marshall (Chicago), On Stranger Tides sends Jack on a quest for the fountain of youth.

Bruckheimer and Marshall showed off footage Tuesday at CinemaCon, a Las Vegas convention of theater owners.

At test screenings of On Stranger Tides, “the audience told us what they loved about it is that it was fresh, it was new, it was a whole new story,” Bruckheimer said in an interview alongside Marshall. “So that will carry over into the next one, too, to give it something fresh and different.

As long as the audience embraces this one, we’ll certainly try to make another one. It’s really up to Johnny.

He loves the character.”

Geoffrey Rush reprises his role as Jack’s rival, Barbossa, who has switched sides, no longer a pirate but a privateer sailing on the orders of the British monarchy. Penelope Cruz co-stars as the fiery daughter of the pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane).

On Stranger Tides is the first Pirates flick shot with digital 3-D cameras. The filmmakers make good use of the 3-D imagery in action sequences, which include a shot where Cruz’s character tries to stab Depp’s Capt. Jack through a closed door, her sword leaping off the screen right at the audience.

Female characters lead new releases

By Rick Bentley McClatchy Newspapers

Interesting female characters dominate this week’s new DVD releases.

Black Swan, Grade Aminus: Natalie Portman earned an Oscar for her portrayal of a young woman struggling with the pressure of dancing the lead in Swan Lake.

Director Darren Aronofsky’s look at a young ballerina is such a kaleidoscope of emotions it’s initially overwhelming. It takes time to think about it — and it was difficult not to think about it — to fully appreciate its brilliance.

Fair Game, Grade B: Naomi Watts and Sean Penn star in the story of former CIA agent Valerie Plame whose job becomes compromised when a journalist reveals her identity.

The spy parts are interesting, but they never reveal anything that hasn’t been covered thoroughly by the media. What saves the film is how much time director Doug Liman devotes to the marriage of Plame and former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson (Sean Penn).

Made in Dagenham,

Grade B-plus: This film is the Brit’s answer to Norma Rae. The battle for equal rights by a group of female employees in 1968 at the British Ford plant is an uplifting tale of politics, family and the human spirit.

Made in Dagenham, like Norma Rae, takes the complicated — and potentially dull — story of a labor-management dispute and gives it a very human face.

Tangled, Grade A: Rapunzel (voiced by Mandy Moore) discovers she doesn’t need a hero to save her in this animated offering from Disney. It is the 50th animated theatrical release from Disney Studios dating back to the 1937 release of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Also new on DVD this week: Big Time Rush: Season One, Volume One: Nickelodeon series about three young men who trade hockey for a chance at music stardom.

The Capture of the Green River Killer: Tom Cavanagh stars in this cable miniseries based on a true story.

Dennis the Menace: Sea-

son One: A young boy (Jay North) becomes a pest for his neighbor.

Kenny Chesney Summer in 3D: Video footage of the country star’s concert.

Upstairs, Downstairs Complete Series: 40th Anniversary Edition: The 21-disc collection features all five series.

Where Did We Come From?: Scientists look at how the earliest life forms emerged billions of years ago.

Capone: The 1975 film features Ben Gazzara as Al Capone.

The Ten Commandments: A fully restored version is being released to mark the film’s 55th anniversary.

The Civil War: The much heralded Ken Burns series is on a six-disc set.

April 1-7, 2011

Even without Mad Men, there are still things to look forward to I found out sometime Tuesday — just a mere two days after my birthday — that my favorite television show won’t be returning to the air until 2012.

If you have seen Mad Men, then you know how much this pains my soul, and I’m sure you’ll feel the same way.

I don’t want to get into all the he-said, she-said speculation going on about show creator Matthew Bobby Weiner and AMC being Bozeman at odds. We only know Pop what they want us to Cultured know, and people will wage their celebrity wars in the press — and I won’t have that mess in my column.

I will say this: If Weiner doesn’t come back to Mad Men, then I will probably cry myself to sleep more nights than not.

So since there is no longer a season of Mad Men to look forward to in 2011, I’m going to give you some suggestions on what can hopefully help fill that hype-

shaped void in your heart.

Breaking Bad Yes, of course, AMC’s other hit show.

This one’s about a chemistry teacher who can barely support his family and newly pregnant wife as it is. Then he finds out he has lung cancer. So he turns to meth — of course — to help provide for his family in the little time he has left. Oh, and his brother-in-law is a DEA agent. Needless to say, some very tense, very emotional hijinks ensue as we are asked to question what it means to be a father, a bread winner and a human being. Season 3 will hit shelves on Bluray and DVD June 7. And expect season 4 of Breaking Bad to air this summer — plenty of time for you to catch up on this brilliant show.

Super 8 If you haven’t seen the trailer for J.J. Abrams’ new supernatural-sci-fi-alienmystery movie then, well, you’re missing out. The trailer played at Iron Man 2 and the Superbowl, so it’s out there. This is definitely a movie you need to be excited

for as Abrams has proven himself worthy of your anticipation. Oh, and some dude named Steven Spielberg is producing it, you may have heard of him. So be in the theaters June 10.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II Yes, be excited. It’s Harry Potter vs.

He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named. But you don’t need me to tell you that, because us fans of the series are eagerly awaiting July 15.

‘Mass Effect 3’ Bioware’s three-part masterpiece video game starring Commander Sheppard is scheduled to be released in the holiday season this year. The series features a complex and compelling — and sometimes sad and sometimes funny — story that wraps around the decisions the gamer makes, and each play-through feels unique to the player and their style of play. The series has already pushed storytelling and writing in games to the next level, so needless to say, I’ve been waiting on this one for a while.

George Lucas says 3-D will rule films

By David Germain Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — Star Wars creator George Lucas predicts 3-D filmmaking eventually will take over at the movies the way color replaced black and white.

But Lucas and fellow technology pioneers James Cameron, the maker of Avatar, and DreamWorks Animation boss Jeffrey Katzenberg said Wednesday that digital filmmaking is only in its infancy and will bring vast improvements to how movies are made and seen.

Digital technology in general is revolutionizing filmmaking the way sound did in the 1920s, Lucas said. The new digital 3-D craze has had hits and misses but should one day become the big-screen

standard over 2-D presentation, he said.

“So now when you’re watching a movie and it’s not in 3-D, it’s like watching in black and white,” Lucas told a crowd of theater owners at their CinemaCon convention.

“It’s a better way of looking at a film. ... I totally believe now that 3-D will completely take over just like color did.”

Lucas spoke at a digitalfilm panel alongside Cameron and Katzenberg. The hour-long discussion touched on new filmmaking tools, enhancements to theater sound, and how badly presented 3-D movies can sour audiences on digital 3-D films in general.

Such bad 3-D experiences generally have resulted when studios took movies shot in only two dimensions and

did hasty conversions to give them the illusion of depth so they could charge the extra few dollars that 3-D tickets cost.

Cameron, who shot Avatar in 3-D and plans to do its two sequels that way also, is converting his blockbuster Titanic to 3-D for release next year.

Lucas is doing the same with all six of his Star Wars films.

Done properly, 2-D movies converted to 3-D can look fantastic, Cameron and Lucas said.

Lucas drew hearty applause several times from theater owners when he told them that home systems or portable video devices will never replace the moviehouse as the best place to see films.

“We have our third generation now of kids who are under 12 years old who have

never seen Star Wars on the big screen,” Lucas said. “And I am betting a lot of people will go see a movie that they have seen on television a million times and they have the video at home, and they will go and see it because they want to see it in the theater in a social experience.”

Cameron waited for years to make Avatar until digital technology had caught up to the ideas in his head for the sci-fi epic about a struggle between greedy humans and noble aliens on a distant world.

Now that the tools are there, filmmakers are confined only by their imaginations, Cameron said.

“We’re really at a point where if we can imagine it, we can create it,” Cameron said.

“There are no limitations now.”

‘Hop’ skips into blandness

‘Source Code’ dazzles until the end source code HH1/2 rating: PG-13 for some violence including disturbing images, and for language Running time: 1:33 Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Monaghan, Vera Farmiga

hop H1/2 rating: PG for mild rude humor Running time: 1:33 Starring: James Marsden, Elizabeth Perkins, David Hasselhoff, and the voices of Russell Brand, Hugh Laurie and Hank Azaria

By Christy Lemire Associated Press

Duncan Jones’ first film, the mesmerizing, sci-fi character drama Moon from 2009, was a marvel of efficiency, tension and pacing. It signaled the arrival of an artist with an appreciation for the past but also with his own clear, unique voice, ready to leave a distinctive stamp on the culture. And it was the best movie of the year — according to this critic, at least.

Source Code represents his evolution as a director, now that he has a bigger cast and more expensive toys to play with. It’s swifter, glossier, more ambitious. And for a long time, it’s a thrilling and challenging puzzle based on a clever idea — until it pushes its central gimmick and gets too greedy at the end, that is.

It’ll make your brain hurt (in a good way) trying to determine whether it all makes sense — until it quite obviously and frustratingly doesn’t make sense anymore. It also aims for some emotional connections it doesn’t fully develop. Maybe we’re nitpicking needlessly, and should just let ourselves go with it. Still, it leaves you with the nagging sensation that this is a good film that could have been great, if only it had quit while it was ahead.

Based on a script by Ben Ripley, Source Code keeps us as consistently confused and off-guard from the start as its main character, U.S. Army Capt.

Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal).

And, to be fair to you, it’ll be tough to describe what happens here without giving the aforementioned fun-of-thepuzzle away. But we’ll try.

A decorated soldier from the battle in Afghanistan, Colter wakes up one

By Roger Moore The Orlando Sentinel

Hop is a chip off the old munk — as in chipmunks, Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Like the Alvin movies, it has critters interacting with real people. The critter in question — a bunny — is all about music, just like the chipmunks.

And like the last chipmunk picture, about the best one can say for Hop is that it adheres to that Hippocratic oath of children’s entertainment — “First, do no harm.”

The latest semi-toon from the creators of Despicable Me features an adorably animated and lifelike Easter Bunny and a somewhat less animated James Marsden, the hilarious prince from Enchanted. The bunny (voiced by Russell Brand) bangs away his days on Easter Island (literally), a rodent wrapped up in his drum kit.

“E.B.”wants to be a rock star.

But Dad (voiced by Hugh Laurie) isn’t having it. It’s Junior’s turn to take over the family business. “We can’t make any mistakes. The whole WORLD is counting on us,” the father counsels. The kid, growing up in a vast factory where the eggs, chocolate bunnies and candies are made, rebels. He runs away from home to Hollywood.

That’s where he runs afoul of Fred O’Hare (get it?), a 30ish slacker still living with mom (Elizabeth Perkins) and dad (Gary Cole). Fred hits the rabbit with his car and takes him in out of guilt. It doesn’t take long for Fred to get over the novelty of this new pest in his life.

“So what? So you talk and poop candy.”

Yes, E.B.’s “pellets” are jellybeans.

Fred has to help E.B. find his way to Hollywood heavyweight David Hasselhoff. “Hoff Knows Talent,” don’t you know.

ABOVE: James Marsden is shown in a scene from ‘Hop.’ RIGHT: E.B. (voiced by Russell Brand) the teenage son of the Easter Bunny, is on a mission to save Easter.

And E.B. has to help Fred find his purpose, his “destiny.”

All well and good. But would it kill a writer or three to find a couple of laughs in all this? You’ve got Hugh Laurie and Russell Brand and you can’t give them a couple dozen zingers to make this thing move along? Why cast the hilarious Elizabeth Perkins and the reliably deadpan Gary Cole (The Brady Bunch Movie) if there’s nothing funny for them to do?

In the best exchange, Fred worries that the rabbit is in pain and the rabbit worries

Fred will drive off and hit something else.

“You want some baby aspirin?”

“Oh noooo. SAVE it. You might want to run over a baby later!”

Only Hank Azaria, vamping it up as the Head Easter Chick in Charge, a megalomaniac named “Carlos” with an AzarianMexican accent, lands consistent laughs.

The slapstick is mild-mannered; there’s no romance, not a hint of emotion. The best gag might be the one before the opening credits. The Universal globe logo is shaped like an egg. Director Tim Hill (he

helmed the first Chipmunks movie, shockingly) is all wrapped up in the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory scenes — the egg-shaped Easter Bunny sleigh (pulled by chicks) and making sure the rabbit looks at home behind a drum kit. When E.B. jams with The Blind Boys of Alabama, you will believe a rabbit can keep a beat.

But even for a kids’ movie in the postYogi Bear / Marmaduke marketplace, even for a critter comedy where the critter has very big feet, Hop stands out as particularly flat-footed.

morning, disoriented, on a commuter train heading toward Chicago. Across from him is a sweet and beautiful woman (Michelle Monaghan) whom he’s never seen before, yet she’s talking to him with the familiarity of a friend.

He takes a quick glance at himself in the bathroom mirror and is startled to discover he’s in the body of another man, one he doesn’t know.

Within minutes, the train has blown up, killing everyone on board — but Colter suddenly finds himself still alive, strapped inside a crude metal pod, communicating by monitor with an Air Force captain (Vera Farmiga).

She explains that he’s part of a special assignment called “Source Code,” designed to allow him to enter the body of another man for eight minutes.

His task is to gain valuable information and hopefully prevent a later, larger terrorist attack.

And so Colter must go back and relive the same eight minutes over and over again, gleaning more details each time. Yes, this will probably remind you of Groundhog Day, but this is also where Source Code is at its most zippy and compelling — and, strangely, at its most plausible.

Gyllenhaal, who helped developed the character, makes Colter’s fear, anger and general discombobulation palpable, but Source Code also allows him some much-needed flashes of humor. The supporting cast is strong down the line, including Jeffrey Wright as the coldly driven brains of the operation, and even in the choice of actors on the train who only get a couple of lines, but have significance with each eight-minute go-round.

The score is a little insistent and intrusive, especially compared to the gorgeous and haunting score from Moon, and Jones could have made more of an impact at times with silence. But we should probably quit while we’re ahead, too, and let you discover the secrets of Source Code for yourself — and decide whether they actually add up.

IN BRIEF Ken Burns’ next project for PBS: Vietnam War NEW YORK — Having already done the Civil War and World War II, Ken Burns is working on a documentary about the Vietnam War. PBS said the 10- to 12-hour film

by Burns and longtime partner Lynn Novick will be broadcast in 2016.

Burns said his film will tell the human stories of Americans and Vietnamese affected by the war, along with those of Americans who protested against it. He said that four decades after the war’s end, most people have opinions about it but few truly know its history.

PBS is rebroadcasting Burns’ The Civil War next week to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the beginning of that conflict.

Tourney takes CBS back to top in Nielsen ratings NEW YORK — CBS may not have singing and dancing. But it has basketball, and now it’s back in television’s top spot.

The Nielsen Co. said Tuesday that CBS was the most-watched TV network last week, ending three weeks with Fox on top.

Two down-to-the-wire NCAA men’s basketball tournament games involving Connecticut, Arizona, Kentucky and Ohio State finished among Nielsens’ top 15 shows.

CBS’ regular shows also returned from reruns last week, boosting their audiences.

The return of Dancing With the Stars on ABC drew 22.7 million viewers last week, more than the Thursday edition of Fox’s American Idol and less than the Wednesday edition.

Dancing With the Stars also boosted the show that follows it on ABC’s schedule, Castle, into Nielsen’s top 10.

Jeremy Irons stars in Showtime’s ‘The Borgias’

By Frazier Moore Associated Press

NEW YORK — Jeremy Irons couldn’t resist.

The role he was invited to play — Rodrigo Borgia — is a towering historical figure who, five centuries ago, becomes pope through whatever-it-takes scheming, then ruthlessly defends his claim to the papacy against mounting efforts to unseat him.

As perhaps the Western World’s biggest boss, the new Pope Alexander VI denies himself nothing, including family, whose support he drafted in his rise to the top, and an additional mistress supplementing the mother of his children.

Thus begins the ungodly power trip that is The Borgias, a new Showtime drama series.

Created, written and produced by Neil Jordan (The Crying Game, Michael Collins), The Borgias has a two-hour premiere on Sunday at 8 p.m., with seven subsequent episodes airing Sundays at 9 p.m.

“The list of adjectives that were used to describe him by his contemporaries are all the colors of the rainbow,” Irons says with wonder. “From charming, thoughtful, a man of God, to licentious, carnal, a murderer! And I thought, ‘Well, this is fascinating.’”

Particularly within the sacred walls of the Vatican, the bald ambition of the future pope is chilling to behold as the series begins in 1492 and Borgia plots his game plan as a long-shot candidate to succeed the dying Pope Innocent VIII. But perhaps the most impressive sequence in the first installment is the papal coronation. During the lavish procession, then the crowning, Alexander registers a mix of fierce triumph and allconsuming awe.

“You go for this job, and when you get there — wooooooo — you’re on the top of the mountain with no one around you.

There’s no one to call, except, you know, Him.” Irons points heavenward. “I think that’s both humbling and frightening.”

During that scene, a range of colors of the character play across his face as gathering evidence of his human complexity.

That complexity is something Irons

Showtime/Associated Press

Jeremy Irons portrays Rodrigo Borgia, Pope Alexander VI, left, and Francois Arnaud portrays his son, Cesare Borgia, in the Showtime original series ‘The Borgias.’ will get to explore at length.

“That’s the great thing about doing a series as opposed to a film,” says Irons.

“You’ve got time for a character to behave in what appears to be inconsistent ways.

You’re able to say, ‘This scene is about that strand in the man, and THIS scene is about another strand,’ and you play each scene for all it’s worth. Then, gradually, you draw those strands together and you say, ‘Wow, THAT’S the guy — an extraordinary guy!’”

The five-month Borgias shoot took Irons to Budapest, Hungary, where he joined his series co-stars, who include Joanne Whalley as Rodrigo’s longtime mistress and matriarch of his family household; Francois Arnaud as the son Rodrigo forces into the priesthood and is grooming to be a future pope, even as he uses him, a Cardinal, as his dirty-dealing consigliere; and David Oakes as his other son, a bully who leads the Papal armies to further the pope’s interests.

Even Rodrigo’s sweet 12-year-old daughter, Lucrezia (Holliday Grainger), must serve her father’s ends. He will soon marry her off to seal favor with a political

rival.

You got to do what you got to do, Irons suggests.

“What’s the difference between all that and the selling of influence through lobbyists in Washington? I think power corrupts. Period. And at this stage in Europe, the Catholic Church was about power. It was the thing that was holding together Europe, with all its wild monarchies — or tribes, if you like.

“Of course, when you play a character, you get into that character and you justify his actions,” adds Irons, flinging one leg across the other with a flourish.

“You don’t judge your character. You ARE him.”

Through his long career, the 62-yearold Brit has given dozens of memorable film performances, from his TV breakthrough in 1979’s Brideshead Revisited and the more recent TV movie Georgia O’Keeffe through such features as The French Lieutenant’s Woman, Dead Ringers, The Man in the Iron Mask, Casanova, Being Julia and, in 1990, his Oscar-winning turn as Claus von Bulow in Reversal of Fortune.

Scott Bakula, left, Ray Romano, center, and Andre Braugher from the TNT original series, ‘Men Of A Certain Age’ are shown. New episodes begin June 1. rewarding thing I do. It has been the most successful thing I’ve done in my life.”

Q: Men of a Certain Age, starring Ray Romano was televised for a limited number of weeks in 2010.

It went off the air and subsequently returned with many new stories.

Once again it is off the air.

I really enjoyed the programs and wonder if it will return.

A: The series, which also stars Andre Braugher and Scott Bakula, will return with new episodes beginning June 1.

Q: I watched the series Downton Abbey on PBS and enjoyed it. It seemed to end too abruptly with the onset of World War I, leaving many plots unresolved. Will it ever be continued?

A: A second season of the serialized drama is in the works, and PBS has announced plans to air it in winter 2012. Julian Fellowes will continue as writer, and the cast will once again include Maggie Smith, Hugh Bonneville and Elizabeth McGovern. The first season, by the way, is avail-

able on DVD and Blu-ray.

Q: I read your column and hope you can give me any info on BBC America’s Torchwood. I am watching the old episodes. What can you tell me about John Barrowman? Is he still acting?

A: Torchwood, the fine spin-off of Doctor Who, will have another run, and Barrowman will be back as Captain Jack. (You can find out more about Barrowman’s many activities at his website, http://www.johnbarrowman.com.)

The newest Torchwood series, subtitled Miracle Day, is due on Starz in July and much of it takes place in the U.S. Q: What has happened to my favorite show, Medium? The last episode was an unexpected series finale, instead of season finale. I loved the show!

If it is not returning, is it possible to purchase the DVDs? A: The Patricia Arquette series is indeed done, after seven seasons on NBC and later CBS. Six seasons have been released on DVD so far.
