Sold-out relief concert raises money, hope Hal Yeager/Birmingham News

The band Alabama was one of many bands to perform on Tuesday at ‘Bama Rising,’ a benefit concert at the Birmingham-Jefferson Civic Complex.

By Jay Reeves Associated Press

BIRMINGHAM — Opening with chilling video of a killer tornado and a prayer, country superstars Alabama headlined a sold-old concert Tuesday night to raise money for storm relief and remind people that thousands across their home state are still hurting from the physical and emotional damage left by the nation’s worst tornado outbreak in decades.

Accompanied by a church choir and the symphony orchestra from hard-hit Tuscaloosa, members of the renowned band from Fort Payne had the crowd

of 13,000 standing from the start with favorites like “Dixieland Delight” and a new song written by bassist Teddy Gentry called “Alabama Rising.” The recording goes on sale Wednesday morning on iTunes, with proceeds to benefit a relief fund for storm survivors.

“Raising Alabama only takes three: The good Lord, you and me,” sang Alabama frontman Randy Owen, a hand raised skyward.

Alabama was only one draw on a bill that included 18 more acts from rocker Sheryl Crow to gospel greats The Blind Boys of Alabama, who opened with a soulful version of “Amazing Grace.”

The show, called Bama Rising, was

staged just a few miles from ravaged communities where nearly two dozen people died in the twisters of April 27.

Officials say 241 people were killed in Alabama alone, and thousands more lost their homes. Across the South the storms left more than 300 dead.

Waiting on the music to begin, Julie Kreutz of Hoover said she was happy to pay $75 each for floor seats for her parents and 6-year-old daughter.

“If it will help someone get a roof over their head, that’s fine,” said Kreutz. She grew up in Walker County, where nine people died in the twisters.

Holding a small Alabama flag and wearing a “One for Y’all” T-shirt sold to

raise money for storm assistance, Children’s Hospital nurse Katherine Kent recalled treating some of the 60 bloody, battered storm victims who flooded the emergency room the night of the tornadoes.

“That’s why I’m here, to support them,” said Kent.

The members of Alabama took it personally when dozens of twisters roared across their state, leaving a trail of destruction more than 600 miles long.

Before long they were on the phone, talking about ways to help.

“We just said, ‘We’ve got to do something. It was just a consensus,” Owen Please see RISING ❙ Page 7

‘South Park’ f inds itself growing older, parodying self

I remember the first time that I watched South Park.

I was in the fifth grade, 10 years old, not too much older than the thenthirdgrade protagonists of the Bobby show.

Bozeman I Pop would Cultured go and kind of hideaway in my room and watch each week as Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny — this was back when Kenny died each week — would go on their little misadventures.

And of course I had to hide because my parents watched an episode once after seeing one of the fearmongering local TV reports about the show and forbade me to watch it. But South Park was the first show that really had the water cooler effect for me and my friends; every Thursday we would come back to school and immediately have to talk about what went down in that week’s episode. And if you couldn’t talk about what happened because you got caught watching, you had to just pretend like you did — a developed skill set that would get me A’s all through my college English courses — or just come off as lame.

But the show was brilliant. Even to the undeveloped mind of a 10-year-old, it was brilliant. It mixed observational comedy and biting satire and helped explain to kids my age that life can be pretty messed up, but a lot of times its because those adults that we take all our cues from, the ones that teach us to be who we are, aren’t

Associated Press

After 14 years and 15 seasons, the creators of ‘South Park’ may begin to ‘grow up’ the characters and plots. really that different from us because they’ve never grown up. Above all else, South Park pointed out that adults are selfish, childish and often tragically flawed, which is both incredibly liberating and terrifying for a 10-year-old. Call it a modern day Catcher in the Rye. Of course adults never take kindly to being told they haven’t grown up.

Parents have always cast aspersions on media like that, from Catcher in the Rye to The Simpsons to South Park.

14 years — and 15 seasons of South Park later — the whole world has changed.

Which brings me to the point of this week’s column (350 words in, I know, and I’m sorry). For the first time, South Park has really looked at itself and found that it hasn’t really grown up. Of course the show is still a marker of what’s going on in the world; a history told from the perspective of South Park would be an interesting one and one that probably isn’t too off base. But as we watched last week in the mid-season finale before the show goes

on a hiatus until August , we realized that the show, much like the adults it satirized, is still operating on a fourth grade mentality.

In the beginning of the episode, Stan turns 10years-old and things look to be just another episode.

But as Stan quickly realizes, as you get older, you start realizing that the things you used to really like, start to sound like — well — crap.

But Stan also doesn’t like things that adults like and the doctor tells him he has a bad case of the cynicism.

As Stan is no longer happy with things — primarily the tweenwave music his Kyle and Cartman are into — his friends start to abandon him. South Park makes its message clear: Grow up or stagnate and become a cynical mess, possibly the same cynical mess the show feels that it’s in right now.

Stan’s dad, Randy Marsh (the show’s main vehicle to show lack of personal development in adults) however is quick to jump on tweenwave to show that he’s still cool. Of course his over-the-top actions strain his marriage. Here’s

where the show takes its turn. As Randy and Sharon argue about how week in and week out things never change and everything just resets, and Randy always acts like a child, it became very obvious what they are arguing about.

They’re arguing about the show they’re in. They don’t know it, but that’s what’s going down. And they get divorced. It’s clear that South Park feels it has to grow, but we’ll find out when it returns from break whether things start to change and the characters start to grow up or the show returns to its typical cycle of restarts.

As the show came to a close in a montage of Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide” — a song about change and growing older — it felt like a series finale. The show’s creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are still on contract to produce episodes of the show until 2013, but this could very well be the beginning of the end for a show that has been a mile marker of American culture for close to 15 years. But then again, we all have to grow up sometime.

‘Get Closer’ ... literally Country superstar Keith Urban unveils unique stage on new tour to accentuate intimate feel

By Chris Talbott Associated Press

T

NASHVILLE, Tenn. urns out Keith Urban’s 2011 Get Closer Tour is aptly named.

The country superstar will unveiled a new stage design kicking off his tour on Thursday in Biloxi, Miss. Urban often tucks away ideas he comes up with while standing on stage in front of thousands of fans. He noticed on his last tour that when he descended ramps at each end of the stage, nearby fans were practically in the concert.

So he built a curved stage with a continuous ramp from side to side, erasing the barrier.

“I just think our audiences are there to have a good time,” Urban said. “I want them to feel liberated, that they can do whatever they want to do. If they want to dance and scream and cheer, they should be able to do that and not feel like someone’s going to come and tell them to sit down.”

Urban previewed his tour for reporters and a select group of a few hundred fans last week during the CMA Music Festival at Nashville’s Municipal Auditorium. He showed off the stage and played a few songs in front of a video screen that flashed concert footage, artwork and video

interludes with other country artists.

The Australian singer’s tours are among country music’s most anticipated. Pollstar figures show his Defying Gravity Tour, which kicked off in 2009, grossed more than $51 million with more than 763,000 tickets sold.

He sold 88 percent of tickets available and averaged 10,600 attendance.

That’s country gold. And to maintain that standard, Urban is working to keep his show fresh. Along with the scalloped main stage, he’s got four others set up around the arena.

That includes “one that’s tiny and moveable every night and it allows me to go anywhere in the arena from night to night. It’s always different,” he said. “The one thing with social networking and YouTube is people already know what you’re doing.

They’ve already seen the show.

There’s no surprises any more.

So I figured out the idea of the moving stage and it will never be in the same place twice.”

Urban will mix his hits with new material from his latest album, Get Closer. Urban played that album’s lead single “Put You in a Song” for reporters and visitors gathered along the stage, picking its addictive guitar hook in front of a kaleidoscopic pinwheel design on a circular video screen that has a “mirror, mirror on the wall” feel.

He said he’ll keep it mostly up-

tempo, but will sprinkle in a few of the slow-burning ballads that have kept him one of country’s top heartthrobs for more than a decade.

“I’m just trying to make sure that everybody no matter where they’re sitting feels connected to what we’re doing,” Urban said. “I want to play with everybody, I don’t want to play at them. The audience reaction is a huge part of our show. The singingback sections are just a huge part of what we do. Hopefully, we can play all the songs they want to hear and have them feeling better when they’re leaving than when they got here.”

Associated Press writer Caitlin R. King in Nashville contributed to this report.

“I just think our audiences are there to have a good time. I want them to feel liberated, that they can do whatever they want to do.”

Neil Young’s ‘A Treasure’ delivers the country

By Greg Kot Chicago Tribune

Neil Young “A Treasure” (Reprise) The line on Neil Young’s “difficult” ‘80s period goes something like this: Young was struggling with family issues, battling with his record company, bouncing from style to style willy-nilly like a moth in a lightbulb factory. There were experiments in electronic music, rockabilly, blues and hardcore country. Even his own label sued him for making music “not characteristic of Neil Young,” whatever that means.

Young’s ongoing series of archival releases allows him to have the last word, or at least to frame what he was doing in

a clearer context. “A Treasure” (Reprise) documents his country phase and makes the point that, no matter what his detractors and doubters say, it really wasn’t a “phase” at all, but one of his periodic and most fully realized immersions into the genre. The dozen tracks are drawn from a 1984-85 tour with an excellent eightpiece band he dubbed the International Harvesters. It included longtime collaborator Ben Keith, as well as such stellar Nashville instrumentalists as Rufus Thibodeaux, Spooner Oldham and Hargus “Pig” Robbins.

must for Young aficionados is that the Harvesters are likely the most musically accomplished band the singer ever assembled. Thibodeaux’s fiddle and Keith’s steel-guitar complement Young’s craggy guitar; there’s an evident virtuosity, but it never comes off as slick. This band could light up any honkytonk on a Saturday night.

Young revisits a couple of older tunes that clarify his intentions. There’s a twangy, chugging reconfiguration of the hard-rocking “Southern Pacific” and also a reprise of Marcio Jose Sanchez/Associated Press/File Buffalo Springfield’s “Flying Many of the tracks off Neil Young’s latest album are taken from on the Ground is Wrong,” on his 1984-85 tour when he played with International Harvester. which Richie Furay originally sang lead.

‘Green Lantern’

doesn’t shine

Warner Bros./Associated Press

Superhero can’t save film from clamor of overdone special effects

By Colin Covert Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

What is the deal with green superheroes? The Hulk movies don’t work, though they’ve tried and tried again. The Green Hornet was a self-indulgent mess. And now comes The Green Lantern, a mind-numbing, misguided pandemonium that ranks as the biggest comic book misfire since Batman & Robin battled Poison Ivy. Who was green.

The new film takes genial Ryan Reynolds and casts him as an insecure, self-doubting guy.

Reynolds has made a career of playing smug, humorous jerkholes. Playing against type here, the right tone eludes him. He’s still funny, but only half the time on purpose. This is a role for Paul

GREEN LANTERN H rating: PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action Running time: 1:54.

Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively Giamatti, but he wouldn’t look right in green spandex.

Even fanboys insatiable for superhero origin stories will agree this is one comic book that should have stayed on the page. Green Lantern’s gimmick is too far-fetched to render literally. A ring that can materialize anything its owner imagines is a device demanding the most extreme cartoon treatment.

After a rushed, semi-coherent voiceover compresses the rules, rituals and interstellar creatures of the Green Lantern mythos (synopsis: they’re space cops), test pilot Hal Jordan discovers a dying, crash-landed alien who wills Hal his Green Lantern ring.

Hal seems like a poor choice to become Earth’s protector. He flies jets to compensate for the willies that seized him when he witnessed his jet-jockey father’s fatal crash. But like Harry Potter’s Sorting Hat, the green ring is infallible. Somewhere inside Hal is a core of courage waiting to be revealed. He gets a hint of the ring’s potential when three roughnecks beat him up and a giant emerald fist materializes to smite them.

The scale of the fist is too big,

an image better suited to a cartoon panel than a theater screen.

Like most of the ill-judged effects on display here, its exaggeration inspires derision, not awe.

Superman made us believe a man could fly, and Spider-Man convinced us a teen could swing, but Green Lantern is never so persuasive. Overkill seems to be director Martin (Casino Royale) Campbell’s prime directive, followed by aggressive product placement. Hal’s superhero debut involves rescuing a falling helicopter by conjuring a giant Hot Wheels racetrack as a landing strip.

The film, reportedly costing $300 million, never gets the cadences of storytelling right, delivering clamor and locomotion in place of well-timed ten-

sion and release.

The Elephant Man makeup disfiguring resident mad scientist Peter Sarsgaard makes him look like the pitiable victim of a genetic deformity, not a bad man who needs some justice pounded into him.

Green Lantern’s chief nemesis is Parallax, a planet-devouring squid-thing with a skull face suitable for glowering and bellowing doomsday threats. Of course, computer-generated monsters can be programmed to spout nonsense.

Reynolds, despite his squareshouldered action-figure looks and his martial-arts skill, hasn’t mastered the combat skill of deflecting second-rate material.

Even a superhero couldn’t rescue this one.

LOS ANGELES — Two years after expanding the best-picture race from five to 10 films in a bid to draw a larger audience to the Oscar telecast, the Motion Picture Academy has tweaked its rules again, switching to a more stringent, variable nominating system that will result in between five and 10 movies in the contest each year.

The 2009 expansion to 10 films infuriated those in the industry who felt that the academy was diluting its prestige in hopes of larger audience for its show by offering more populist films a shot in the competition. An initial boost for the 2010 telecast was reversed this year when the ratings for the show, hosted by young actors Anne Hathaway and James Franco, fell 10 percent.

In announcing the rule change, the academy’s board of governors said the move would add “a new twist” to the best-picture race, and “a new element of surprise” to its annual nominations announcement, which happens in late January. But the shift does not address what many critics say is the most pressing problem facing the Oscar broadcast, which falls in late February after months of other ceremonies by various Hollywood guilds and groups: A lack of suspense and a general awards weariness.

Still, Tuesday night’s announcement of the new rules was met by support from many in Hollywood.

“This is a good change,” said Terry Press, veteran Oscar campaign consultant. “I think we are all aware of years where five didn’t cover it and 10 was too many.”

The decision comes amid a sea change at the academy. Executive Director Bruce Davis will retire at the end of June after 30 years at the academy; Dawn Hudson, formerly of Film Independent, began her tenure on the first of the month.

The academy uses a preferential nominations process whereby its nearly 6,000 voting members rank their preferred candidates for best picture from 1 to 10. Academy officials said that after much analysis, it was determined that a film must receive at least 5 percent of the first-place votes to receive a nomination.

In a rare glimpse into academy voting patterns, officials said that over the past 10 years, the average percentage of first-place votes received by the top nominee was 20.5 percent.

Mr. Popper’s Penguins disappoints

By Colin Covert Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

Having done Ebenezer Scrooge and the Grinch, Jim Carrey once again plays a cynical old grouch taken on a journey of salvation by cute tykes. This time, with penguins! Purists may be disappointed that Mr. Popper’s Penguins has ditched the performing birds storyline of the children’s favorite in favor of the familiar “workaholic dad drifting away from his kids” template that is more relatable for movie studio production executives.

The film is just another slice off a very stale loaf, but it’s earnest and benign. It’s sometimes funny and contains no ingredients that are bad for you, unless you are allergic to sap.

Carrey’s Tom Popper is a fast-rising New York City real estate wheelerdealer one promotion away from the corner office. His climb to the top has distanced him from his ex-wife and two kids who could have stepped out of television commercials. He adores them and maintains both households in mega-affluent style, but where nonfinancial obligations are concerned he hasn’t a clue. When he tries to advise

MR. POPPER’S PENGUINS H H rating: PG for mild rude humor and some language Running time: 1:35.

Starring: Jim Carrey, Carla Gugino, Angela Lansbury

his teenage daughter on the school dance snub that threatens to ruin her whole entire life forever, she is thoroughly mortified at his meddling. He’s really not to blame, though. His own dad was an explorer forever off adventuring throughout little Tom’s childhood.

When cartons of penguins arrive at his penthouse door, a bequest from his late father, the famously loyal birds set Popper on a path to redemption that’s approximately 200 pratfalls and sentimental moments long. Popper learns Big Life Lessons as he watches the birds bond and breed. His kids delight in his waddling sidekicks, they clamor to do overnights at Dad’s penthouse apartment, and it’s not long before Popper’s ex (Carla Gugino) jumps atop

him at an ice rink as if it were mating season in the Antarctic. In this film, saying “I love you” solves every problem short of global warming.

Carrey is at his best in early scenes with a wicked glint in his eye. He works his crafty, fast-talking ways to bilk property owners out of their buildings and con his business partners into offering him a seat on the board, provided he can scoop up Central Park’s landmark restaurant, Tavern on the Green. As the plot gears begin to grind and he’s softened by his squawking, belly-flopping aviary’s antics, the film loses its steam. Angela Lansbury plays the Tavern’s owner, who will only sell to a new owner with solid family values.

You shouldn’t need a diagram to know how things will work out.

The special effects are fine, with actors and computer-generated penguins interacting plausibly. It’s the film’s view of real life that seems denatured and phony. The images are big, empty and lifeless, the very wintertime snow on the streets looks as if it was being rented by the props department.

Carrey is always watchable, but I prefer him manic and mugging, not safe, sentimental and soggy.

‘Kill the Irishman’ should please fans of gangster genre

By Bruce Dancis McClatchy-Tribune News Service

“Cleveland 1975,” reads the opening caption in Kill the Irishman, as shots of an industrial city and soul music from the ’70s playing on a car radio further set the scene. Danny Greene is driving through Cleveland, enjoying the music and his neighborhood, when the radio starts to sputter and spark. He jumps out of the car just before a bomb explodes and his car is engulfed in fire. Shaken but uninjured, Danny yells, to no one in particular, “Is that all you got?

It’s gonna take more than a few firecrackers to kill Danny Greene.”

Based on the true story of an Irish-American gangster who took on the Italian Mob and survived a series of assassination attempts, Kill the Irishman is out this week on DVD following a limited theatrical release earlier this year (Anchor Bay Films, $29.98/$34.99 Blu-ray, rated R). I liked Kill the Irishman a lot, but I don’t want to overstate the case for it.

It was made by a relatively unknown director, Jonathan Hensleigh (The Punisher), and stars an actor, Ray Stevenson, who, if he is recognized at all it would probably be from playing the Roman soldier Titus Pullo in HBO’s Rome. It’s a small-scale film but packs a solid punch.

Following the opening scene, the movie moves back in time to show Greene’s tough early life as an Irish kid battling Italian kids in Cleveland’s working-class ethnic neighborhoods, his job as a longshoreman and his rise to the presidency of his union local, and eventually his emergence as a fearless, independent mobster and self-proclaimed Celtic Warrior.

By the 1970s, Greene has gathered the money and muscle to wage a turf battle with the Cleveland Mafia and its bosses in New York.

Though Stevenson may not be familiar to viewers, he’s joined by a bunch of well-known and talented actors, including Vincent D’Onofrio as mobster John Nardi, who breaks ranks with his fellow Italian Americans to work with Greene, and the

always reliable Christopher Walken, who plays Jewish restaurant owner and loan shark Shonder Birns, a friend of the Mob. Though underused, Val Kilmer easily handles the role of a Cleveland police detective investigating organized crime. (As an onlooker, Kilmer also serves as the film’s narrator, a device borrowed from Martin Scorsese’s GoodFellas and Casino).

In addition, lending the film a curious authenticity is the presence of many character actors who are instantly recognizable from their roles as gangsters in movies and television: Steve Schirripa (The Sopranos), Tony Lo Bianco (The French Connection), Paul Sorvino (GoodFellas, The Firm), Tony Darrow (GoodFellas, The Sopranos), Robert Davi (Wiseguy) and Vinnie Jones (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels).

There are no women’s roles here as good as, say, Diane Keaton and Talia Shire’s in The Godfather films or Edie Falco and Lorraine Bracco’s The Sopranos, but Linda Cardellini (as Greene’s wife) and Fionnula Flanagan (as Greene’s crusty neighbor) are skillful complements to Stevenson.

Stevenson, who was born in Northern Ireland but raised in the north of England, brings both the strength and power of a thug and the sensitivity and intelligence of a reasonable man to his role as the charismatic Greene.

It’s certainly satisfying when the youngish Greene uses both his smarts and his muscle to oust the corrupt president of the longshoreman’s union, played by Bob Gunton (the memorably evil warden in The Shawshank Redemption), and, as in most good gangster movies, we appreciate the courage and the audacity of a man willing to go up against more powerful foes.

Kill the Irishman is not in the same league as The Godfather films, GoodFellas, Casino, The Sopranos, The Wire, The Usual Suspects or the best gangster movies of the past. But it will give fans of the genre a solid 106 minutes of action, suspense and fine acting.

Big games, gadgets and surprises of E3

By Brian Crecente Kotaku.com

The promise of uncompromising gaming on the go, a sexy new console from the makers of the Wii and a robust lineup of musthave, must-play games topped this year’s celebration of all things gaming in Los Angeles last week.

This year’s E3 kicked off early with a look at what the makers of the Playstation 3, Wii and Xbox 360 have in store for us over the next year or so, and ended with a surprisingly robust laundry list of games everyone is going to want to play.

Sony’s biggest news of the show was the unveiling of the price and name of its next generation portable.

The Playstation Vita will cost a relatively low $250. That puts it in direct competition with Nintendo’s 3DS, which sells for the same price, at a time when the glasses-free 3-D device is struggling to match the success of the Wii or DS. While Nintendo spent a segment of its press conference

touting a long list of games coming to the 3DS, which launched this spring, the 3DS can’t help but come off as slightly overpriced compared to the hardware packed into the Vita.

At its heart, the Vita is a device aiming straight for hardcore gamers. It has two thumbstick controllers, something that makes games like Call of Duty and Battlefield easier to play, high-end graphics displayed on a crisp 5inch OLED screen and the ability to play games against people on a PS3 or save your own progress in game on a Vita and then continue playing on the home console.

While Nintendo launched its online store for the 3DS during last week’s show, it still hasn’t delivered on some of the device’s promises including activating Netflix, delivering movies or big games for the device. Much of that is still said to be coming.

Instead, Nintendo spent a bulk of its press conference talking about the next big thing, the replacement for the Wii home console.

The Wii U, set for a release

without needing to ever turn the television on, or while someone else is watching TV. We’ve also been told that the device can be used to play motion games, setting it up on its charging dock and standing in front of it as one would a Wii and television.

Nintendo left quite a bit unanswered about their its console, instead concentrating on its controller.

While there wasn’t a full game to try, there were quite a few Chris Pizzello/Associated Press/File demos and mini games. After The PlayStation Vita, the company’s new portable gaming spending a bit of time with all Nintendo had to offer I came device, is projected to cost $250. away with the feeling that as with the Wii, this was a console that sometime next year at a still white frame that sports an array had great potential, but potential undetermined price, appears to of buttons, a 6.2-inch touch that would rely heavily on thirdbe a more refined Wii with one screen, speakers, a microphone, very special controller.

Yes, magical goats. That’s what we said.

Strengths/ Weaknesses: Dude, he’s a god. He’s immortal and invulnerable. Well, almost./He is prophesied to die in the end times battle of Ragnarok.

ER ... he’s back! Wyle trades scrubs for aliens

By Ellen Gray Philadelphia Daily News

PHILADELPHIA — When Steven Spielberg’s aliens launch their latest attack on Earth Sunday in TNT’s Falling Skies, Noah Wyle will be there to meet them.

Not as John Carter, the fresh-faced young medical student we first saw 17 years ago in ER, but as Tom Mason, a widowed history professor who finds himself second in command of the 2nd Massachusetts, fighting the invaders and struggling to recover his captured middle son.

Time flies when you’re on TV, but for Wyle, two days shy of his 40th birthday when he visited Philadelphia earlier this month, it might feel like warp speed.

It wasn’t, he insisted, about turning 40 — “I’m ready” — but about playing a guy whose oldest son (Drew Roy) is old enough to be fighting beside his father.

“He’s playing 17, but he’s 24,” Wyle said of Roy. “There are times when when I say, ‘Doesn’t anyone think it’s ridiculous that I’m playing this kid’s father? How come nobody’s saying it’s ridiculous that I’m playing this kid’s father? Am I the only person that thinks it’s ridiculous that I’m playing this kid’s father?’” joked Wyle, whose own son and daughter are 8 and 5.

When ER began, “I was the boychik,” just 22 and playing a character maybe a year or two older.

On Falling Skies, whose initially familiar post-invasion scenario — think The Walking Dead sans zombies — gradually deepens into something more intriguing over a 10-hour first season, Wyle’s undeniably one of the cast’s grownups.

All joking aside, that was probably part of the appeal to the actor, who, after 11 seasons as a regular on ER, didn’t need the money and wasn’t necessarily looking for another series.

“Eighty hours a week on a soundstage isn’t the best way to parent,” so after leaving the show, “I took a few years and did a few small parts in movies and dedicated my energies to my little theater company in Hollywood and was very much an active dad,” he said.

Starring in TNT’s The Librarian movie series, he developed a relationship with the network, where programming exec Michael Wright “would send me all the pilot scripts that they were thinking about putting into production. And he’s got exceptional taste. There were a few temptations over the years, but really, I read this script and I had this real itch to get back

Chris Pizzello/Associated Press

The last time we saw Noah Wyle, he was he young heartthrob doctor on ‘ER.’ After an 11-year stint on the show and some time for himself, he’s back in television in the new TNT series ’Falling Skies.’ to work. It was a good fit (and a) chance to work with DreamWorks again.”

Mason, who draws on Revolutionary War history to plot strategy in a conflict against a very different enemy, is “a very dynamic character ... a very physical character,” he said.

Filmed in Toronto, the show also uses only “practical locations,” not a studio.

“It’s a chance to front an ensemble as opposed to inherit one, from the jump. It’s a chance to be part of an enormous gamble TNT is making by stepping out of the traditional programming fare into a new genre, trying to attract a new audience.”

For Wyle, artistic producer of Hollywood’s Blank Theatre Company since the age of 20 — “I was in the inaugural production for the company, which was ‘Sexual Perversity in Chicago,’ when I was 19” — it’s also about having a little more

control over his TV work.

“The older I get, the more interested I am in having a stake of ownership in what I’m doing,” he said. “They were very generous about giving me access and allowing me to feel very much like a collaborator all through the process. I was there when we worked on the script and I was there when we cast the other roles.”

He’s been in the editing room, but “my contributions, I’ve got to say, are most valuable on the set. I’m a good problemsolver. When something’s not working, and the scene’s not working, the rhythm’s off or the blocking seems stilted, that’s where suddenly all sorts of fires go off in my brain.”

He’s also given a little thought to Hollywood’s fascination with alien invasion.

“Whenever you introduce an exterior threat to the planet, it’s really the only

chance you have to unify all the humans on the planet, let them transcend prejudices and petty differences.”

Plus, there’s “this idea of the reset button being hit on civilization,” he said. “The Gospels, the Bill of Rights, the Constitution — whatever the template for the new civilization’s going to be, these guys are going to be the ones framing it,” he said.

“So what do you keep and what do you discard? What was good and what was bad? I thought it was a really interesting theme.”

And though the enemy one character calls “cooties” might look familiar, Wyle promises surprises.

At one point, “we as characters have to radically redefine our assumptions about what’s been happening all along because we misread it completely. And it’s pretty cool.”

Pop culture Q&A

Television ax falls on soap operas, other night-time shows

TV CROSSWORD

By Rich Heldenfels Akron Beacon Journal

Q: Why is ABC axing our favorite soaps, All My Children and One Life to Live, and the night-time show Brothers & Sisters? Most of my friends are in the 60-to-75 age group and they certainly watch more TV that the younger set.

Who on earth watches those horrible reality shows such as The Bachelor/Bachelorette, Wipeout, etc. I’m sure they are a lot cheaper to produce, but they are for the 10-year-old mentality. PLEASE NO MORE REALITY SHOWS. Also I understand CBS is considering whether to renew The Good Wife and Mike & Molly, also favorites. I guess we’ll start going to movies.

A: You have asked many questions. But since some of them have also come up with other readers, I am going to offer a long answer.

Buckle up.

For starters, these are tough times for daytime soaps, and they don’t end with the two ABC shows you mentioned. CBS and NBC have also dropped soaps in recent years, and General Hospital’s future has looked tricky since ABC announced that it will be turning the 3 p.m.

EDT weekday slot back to affiliates in September 2012, and its owned stations will put Katie Couric’s new talk show in that slot. The network says it “continues to support General Hospital” but it is not clear what exactly that means in terms of its lineup after Sept. 12.

The size of the soap audience has decreased. It has also aged. In TV, it’s not about how much you watch but how much you spend — especially on advertised products. While you and your friends watch a lot of TV, conventional ad wisdom says that you aren’t as likely to change your favorite brands as younger people — so ads won’t affect you as much. Lifestyle shows like those replacing the two soaps are seen as a better way to reach younger adult women.

On your other point, to demand

The identity of the featured celebrity is found within the answers in the puzzle. In order to take the TV Challenge, unscramble the letters noted with asterisks within the puzzle.

Seth Wenig/Associated Press

ABC’s ‘Brothers and Sisters’ is being axed this season along with other popular soap operas. According to the network, the shows had not been able to deliver consistent numbers. the end of reality shows because you don’t like some of them is like demanding an end to comedies because you don’t like Rules of Engagement. There are good reality shows (The Amazing Race, for example), and I’m not ashamed to say I watch some. While I’m not immune to the charge of thinking like a 10-year-old, I know other adults who are intelligent and mature, and still watch shows like The Bachelorette. They simply find it entertaining.

Finally, CBS has renewed both The Good Wife and Mike & Molly for the fall so you can save on some movie tickets. Brothers & Sisters, meanwhile, just wasn’t delivering for ABC. Q: Could you tell me the title or where the music came from for the commercial for the Subaru Outback where the two people are out in the desert and cannot find their Outback. The words are: “I love you, I do.” I love the music but could not find it on You Tube so I

could hear the whole song, if there is one.

A: The song, called “I Love You, I Do,” is by a singer named Miss Erika Davies. I have not seen it on a CD but have seen it for sale as a download on iTunes and Amazon.com.

Q: We love The Mentalist but missed the two-hour season ending finale due to a scheduling conflict in our DVR. Do you have any idea when it will be rerun or where I could get a copy of the show on DVD? A: I have not yet seen an air date for a rerun, although I would expect it to air before the fourth season begins in the fall. The recently concluded third season is due on DVD on Sept. 20. And you may not want to read the next question.

Q: I loved the season ending of The Mentalist. Will it be back?

They left the hero in such a fix, it’s fun thinking of ways to save him.

A: The series will begin a new season on CBS in the fall, still on Thursday nights at 9 p.m. CST.
