“The Munsters” are coming to Greenville Car Show
It may look like Halloween in June as two of the stars of the classic television show “The Munsters” will be the celebrity guests at this year’s Greenville (Illinois) Graffiti Car Show. Butch Patrick (Eddie Munster) and Pat Priest (Marilyn Munster) will meet fans and sign autographs on Saturday, June 20 during the show. Replicas of the Munster Koach and Dragula, prominently featured on the program, will also be making an appearance. Patrick was a popular child star who also made guest appearances on many shows of the 1960s including “Bonanza”, “Gunsmoke” and “Rawhide”. Patrick’s work as Eddie, the son of Herman and Lily Munster, made him a TV icon. In the early 1970s Patrick was the star of “Lidsville”, a quirky Saturday morning show produced by Sid and Marty Krofft. Priest took over the role of Marilyn Munster in the show’s 16th episode. Perhaps her best known
role outside of “The Munsters” came in 1967 when she co-starred with Elvis Presley in the movie “Easy Come, Easy Go”. She was also a guest on other iconic programs like “Perry Mason”, “Bewitched” and “Mission Impossible”. Car show organizers are excited to have the Munster Koach and Drag-ula on display that day. The original vehicles were the creation of George Barris, a legendary designer and maker of cars used in television shows and movies. The Munster Koach, Herman Munster’s preferred method of transportation, was created from three Model T bodies. The Drag-ula, built by Grandpa Munster and used by Herman in a classic episode of the show, was made using a real fiberglass coffin. This is a rare opportunity to see television history in person. Butch Patrick, Pat Priest, the Munster Koach, and the Drag-ula may also be seen at the Munster’s Ball, a special event to be held on Friday, June 19 at the American Farm Heritage Museum in Greenville. This ticketed event includes a question and answer session with the stars, photo opportunities, food, and other fun. Ticket information about the
Munster’s Ball may be obtained by calling the Greenville Chamber of Commerce at (618) 664-9272. The Greenville Graffiti Car
Show on Saturday, June 20 is open to 1990 and older cars and trucks for judging. Vehicles may also be brought for display.

The Arts Edison Theatre to host Giordano Dance Chicago For The Edge As a child in St. Louis, Gus Giordano was fascinated by dance. He studied ballet and theater and picked up moves from a cousin in New Orleans. But Giordano did not study jazz dance, for one simple reason: he hadn’t yet invented it. Giordano, who died in 2008, is widely considered the father of jazz dance — at once founder, teacher, popularizer and finest exemplar. Giordano Dance Chicago, the company he launched in 1963 (after impressing visitors from the Bolshoi Ballet), is still going strong today. On Friday and Saturday, April 10 and 11, Giordano Dance Chicago will return to its roots with a pair of shows at Washington University in St. Louis. The shows, which begin at 8 p.m. in the university’s Edison Theatre, mark the conclusion of the Edison Ovations Series. Now led by Nan Giordano — Gus’ daughter, who became artistic director in 1993 — Giordano Dance remains committed to expanding and continually redefining the very definition of jazz dance. In that spirit, the Edison program will feature six new works, all created since 2009. The evening will open with “EXit4,” a largescale work for 10 dancers by Israeliborn choreographer Roni Koresh. The piece, which the company premiered in 2013, is divided into four sections: “Face to Face,” “Crash,” “Wall” and “Wet Stones Full of Light.” Next comes “commonthread” (2009), a lyrical quintet from company alumnus Autumn
Eckmann, followed by “La Belleza de Cuba,” an energetic, sundrenched romp from Liz Imperio, a Cuban-American choreographer who has worked with Jennifer Lopez, Gloria Estefan and Madonna, among many others. Following intermission, the program will continue with a pair of 2015 premieres: Ray Mercer’s “Shirt Off My Back,” which explores the costs of giving too much, and “the only way around is through,” which was choreographed by company member Joshua Blake Carter, based on concept and structure from Nan Giordano. Concluding the evening will be the sultry, Broadway-inspired “Feelin’ Good Sweet” (2014). The piece was created by Ray Leeper, a former Giordano student who now choreographs extensively for television shows such as “So You Think You Can Dance,” “The X-Factor” and “Dancing with the Stars.” Performances begin at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, April 10 and 11. Tickets are $36, or $32 seniors, $28 for Washington University faculty and staff and $20 for students and children. Tickets are available at the Edison Box Office. Edison Theatre is located in the Mallinckrodt Center, 6465 Forsyth Blvd. For more information, call 314-935-6543, e-mail edison@ wustl.edu or visit edison.wustl.edu. E d i s o n p ro g r a m s a re m a d e possible with support from the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency; the Regional Arts Commission, St. Louis; and private contributors.

Pictured above, ďŹ&#x201A;owering dogwoods along the banks of Lake of the Ozarks. Below, the Dogwood Festival in Camdenton.
Dogwood Festival welcomes spring For the Intelligencer Springtime at the Lake of the Ozarks is a beautiful time of year. As the weather warms, the area's forested hills and rocky shorelines become decorated with the delicate pinks and shocking whites of Missouri's state tree, the Flowering Dogwood. Perhaps one of the best ways to enjoy the season, and these colorful perennials, is at the Lake area's oldest spring celebration, the annual Dogwood Festival, April 16-18, in Camdenton. Now in its 65th year, the
12
Dogwood Festival has evolved from a local, Camdenton-based event into a regional springtime tradition, regularly attracting crowds of between 8,000-10,000 people each year. "We always have a large number of visitors that make sure to attend just so they can see the dogwoods in bloom," says Trish Creach, executive director of the Camdenton Area Chamber of Commerce. "It's right in the middle of the peak season, so it really is beautiful." The festival takes place throughout Camdenton, and, aside

from the stunning flora, offers many different activities that appeal to the entire family. "It's just a great event for celebrating spring and the culture and history of this community," continues Creach. "It attracts people of all ages. Whether you love carnival rides and parades, or learning about the history of an area, there's something for everyone to enjoy." Although several pageants and a 5k run/walk take place in the weeks leading up to this springtime event, the Festival officially kicks off Thursday, April 16 with the
April 2, 2015
crowning of its Senior King and Queen and the opening of the carnival area at the Camdenton Middle School. On Friday, the Camden County Museum will host a Lake Area Woodworkers' display from 10 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. Festival-goers can attend a dinner theater production at the museum with dinner being served at 5:30 p.m. The production of the melodrama, "Peril at Pumpernickle Pass," begins at 7 p.m. Tickets for the dinner and play are $15 per person and reservations are suggested
as seats are limited. The museum will be open all weekend for tours so visitors can get a real sense of the history and culture of the community. Friday evening's festivities at the Middle School begin with a fish fry from 4-8 p.m., where visitors can check out the display of Shoe Box Floats and other locally-made arts and crafts. The Middle School will be home to vendor booths offering typical carnival fare including corn dogs; funnel cakes; fried Oreos, Twinkies and brownies; kettle corn, and more. There will be free, live musical entertainment from 6-9 p.m. and carnival rides from 5-10 p.m. Also on Friday, local area students will showcase their talents at the Elegant Evening pageant at the Camdenton High School from 6 until 8:30 p.m. Saturday's activities get underway with a pancake breakfast from 7-9:30 a.m. at the United Methodist Church, followed by a parade at 10 a.m. in downtown Camdenton. At the Middle School, the annual Dogwood Dog Contest begins at 3 p.m. and judges will award prizes to the cutest and ugliest dogs. Live musical entertainment and carnival rides continue throughout the day into the evening. The Camden County Museum will once again showcase the Lake Area Woodworkers during the day and the dinner theater production that evening.

Religion Religion briefs Presbyterians' new marriage definition includes gay marriage
NEW YORK (AP) — The P re s b y t e r i a n C h u rc h ( U . S . A . ) has approved a new definition of marriage that includes gay marriage. The denomination is now the largest Protestant group to re c o g n i z e s a m e - s e x m a r r i a g e as Christian and allow same-sex weddings churchwide. The new definition was endorsed last year by the
denomination's top legislative body as an amendment to the church constitution. The change required approval from the majority of regional bodies or presbyteries. The Covenant Network of Presbyterians says the critical vote came Tuesday from the Palisades Presbytery in New Jersey. The denomination has about 1.8 million members and 10,000 congregations nationwide. The church earlier eliminated barriers for ordaining gays, and last year, allowed ministers to preside at gay weddings with congregational approval in states where the unions are legal. The
new definition takes effect June 21.
Federal commission weighs LGBT job protections

QuickGlance Movie Reviews
"Chappie"
It's set in a near-future Johannesburg policed by robots, but it's not about law enforcement or social order. It focuses on the first creation of a sentient artificial intelligence, yet it's not about the consequences of this radical invention or the nature of consciousness. Instead, though "Chappie" bears all the hallmarks of a "RoboCop" retread or a grungier "A.I." (or heaven help us, "Transcendence"), it's actually more like a warped, sci-fi version of "The Jungle Book" in which a child robot must survive the urban wilds of a gang-ridden Johannesburg. If it sounds like "Chappie" has some peculiar, crisscrossed circuitry, it most certainly does. The movie's mismatched parts — which includes possibly the most unlikely co-starring combo of all time: the South African rap duo Die Antwoord and Hugh Jackman — fit together about as well as Johnnie Five, the "Short Circuit" bot, and a blender. "Chappie" is the third feature from Blomkamp, who broke through with the alien refugee thriller "District 9" and followed that up with "Elysium," a big-budget allegory in which the 1 percent live on an orbiting space station. His dystopias aren't so unfamiliar. They marry great technological evolution with stunted social progress, organically placing sci-fi elements amid recognizable bureaucracies and urban decay. Blomkamp likes to invert tropes. Aliens come not to invade but as desperate immigrants. Robots evolve not to annihilate but to love. Both need our help. In short, Blomkamp makes action-heavy sci-fi that's animated by political ideas and frustrated urgency more than most Hollywood science fiction combined. It's deservedly won him a following, as well as the helm to the next "Alien" film. "Chappie," too, is more spirited, more bizarrely composed than most, but its oddly jumbled machinery never clicks. The logic of "Chappie" gradually disintegrates, becoming increasingly farcical. Eventually, characters are speaking lines as finely scripted as: "I have authorized the launch of the Moose." Dev Patel ("Slumdog Millionaire") plays a wide-eyed, ambitious engineer named Deon whose droids have already become the front lines of Johannesburg's police force. But he dreams of making a fully human robot, even though his boss, the CEO of a weapons company (Sigourney Weaver) shrugs that there's no money in it. A few cubicles down from him sits a rival engineer (Jackman), whose gargantuan, heavy artillery "Moose" machine has been outshined by Deon's more nimble, human-like "Scouts." RATED: R for "violence, language and brief nudity." RUNNING TIME: 112 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.
"Danny Collins"
"I was the real thing once," opines Al Pacino's rock star protagonist Danny Collins in a moment of late-in-life crisis. It's true, the movie, also called "Danny Collins," opens with a 1971-set prologue where a young, "The Panic in Needle Park"era Pacino lookalike sits, trembling, for what looks like his first interview. Having just released the perfect Bob Dylan-meetsTim Buckley folk album, Danny tells the reporter that John Lennon is his real hero and worries that fame and wealth will change him as an artist. Cut to the present, and Danny Collins is a human jukebox with a stadium-sized audience of grey-haired men and women. His guitar and his soulful folk warbling have been replaced by a fake tan, shoe-polish hair, jazzy backup singers and a flashy production that's dripping with cheese as he belts out one of his biggest hits "Hey Baby Doll"— an anthem that's almost distractingly similar to "Sweet Caroline." He's not happy, though. He has fame, fortune, an infinite
18

supply of cocaine and shirts that only button up half way, and a fiancee who's more than half his age, but something is missing. When his longtime manager (Christopher Plummer in a prefect sidekick role) presents him with a long-lost letter from John Lennon (and Yoko), telling him that fame doesn't have to destroy a person and to call him sometime, Danny goes off in search for his essence in earnest. RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "violence, some nudity and language." RUNNING TIME: 106 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.
"The Divergent Series: Insurgent"
Given that conformity is the scourge of the "Divergent" series and much of its young-adult ilk, it's a shame that the films, including the new "Insurgent," do so little to stray from well-worn YA paths. For a series that waves the banner of individualism, they make a poor case for it. Instead of throbbing with a teenage spirit of rebellion — or things like youthful wildness, humor or sex — the two "Divergent" movies are curiously content to eke out a rigid, lifeless fable in drab futuristic environs. The answer, here, to the question of what are you rebelling against isn't "Whaddya got?" but the slightly less visceral "An elaborate, highly metaphorical dystopian system of militaristic control." But even faint, fantastical whiffs of teen insurrection carry enough potency to drive feverish young audiences. Why? Much of it has to do with the stars. Say what you will about YA movies, but they've been an efficient star-making machine that's produced Jennifer Lawrence, Kristen Stewart and Shailene Woodley. We should be happy to have them: good actresses all, who easily lead their respective films over their male counterparts. The YA men aren't as fine a bunch but here include the hunky Theo James and the excellent Miles Teller. Predictably providing "Insurgent" with its only lively, comedic moments, Teller looks as if he didn't get the note that all must be sullen and serious. A quick summary. Based on Veronica Roth's trilogy of best-selling novels, the "Divergent" films are set in a walled, post-apocalyptic Chicago, where survivors are ritualistically sorted into five factions. Every 16-year-old is tested for which faction suits them, and then must choose one and remain there forever. Tris (Woodley) chose Dauntless, who are known for their bravery and, it seems, their proclivity for train hopping. But her test revealed her to be "divergent" — someone who has no dominant characteristic but a plethora — and this makes her uncontrollable. RATED: PG-13 for "intense violence and action throughout, some sensuality, thematic elements and brief language." RUNNING TIME: 118 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.
"While We're Young"
It's safe to say there aren't a lot of movies out there about reaching middle age gracefully and happily. And how could there be? The only thing worse than getting old, as the saying goes, is the alternative. But at least we have the movies — the good ones, anyway — to make us laugh about this fraught, undignified experience. And few recent films have done it better than Noah Baumbach's deliciously sharp and touching "While We're Young." It seems apt indeed that Baumbach's star here, Ben Stiller, is 49 in real life — the age at which one finally, truly cannot
April 2, 2015
deny having, SOMEHOW, reached middle age. In a minor but hilarious exchange, Stiller's 40-something character, Josh Srebnick, is told he has arthritis. Surely, Josh protests with utter guilelessness, it's not "arthritis arthritis" — it's some other kind. "It's arthritis, and usually I only say it once," the doctor replies. Josh is a documentary filmmaker who's been working on the same project for a decade, about a subject so dense and academic and boring we can't explain it here. He's married to Cornelia (Naomi Watts, doing some of her best work in years), who also works on documentaries, assisting her father, a legendary documentarian played by the wonderful Charles Grodin. You may think that's enough documentarians for one movie, but you'd be wrong: the film's dream casting also includes Adam Driver as Jamie, a 20-ish, ambitious documentarian-wannabe. RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America "for language." RUNNING TIME: 94 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three and a half stars out of four.
"Get Hard"
While the stereotypes in "Get Hard" may be gross exaggerations, its characters live in the real world: A place where the chasm between rich and poor is vast and growing; where black men are disproportionately jailed and white-collar criminals often evade punishment. In this comedy from first-time director Etan Cohen, James (Will Ferrell) is a Los Angeles millionaire hedge-fund investor whose life of indulgence and ignorance is interrupted by a surprise prison sentence for fraud. He turns to the guy who runs the company car wash, Darnell (Kevin Hart) — apparently the only black person he has ever met — and asks for help to prepare for 10 years in maximum security. Darnell has no jail experience, but he agrees because he needs money to buy a home in a better school district for his little girl. When Darnell's wife, Rita (Edwina Findley Dickerson) — the film's only voice of reason — asks what he did to give the impression he had a criminal record, he replies, "I was being black." Darnell's pre-jail prep class includes transforming his student's Bel-Air mansion into a pretend prison, the household staff gleefully becoming its guards. Lessons include getting James in shape, teaching him how to fight and encouraging him to practice oral sex on men. The first yields some laughs as the 6-foot-3 Ferrell uses the diminutive Hart as a barbell. But forced sex isn't funny, no matter who's doing the forcing or the gender of the parties involved. "Get Hard" traffics in other crude humor involving more than one look at Farrell's naked tush and a tiring amount of puns on the film's title. Darnell knows one real ex-con, his cousin Russell (an ultracharismatic Tip "T.I." Harris), whom he turns to for actual help for James behind bars. James hits it off with Russell and his gangster pals when he shows them how they can "liquidate two bricks of cocaine" into hedge funds to make more money. "Wall Street, man. Those are the real criminals," one gangster says. Right. This is supposed to be a parody of the One Percent. The film is guilty of occasionally underlining its jokes like this. James even uses the phrase "teachable moment" after a heated racial encounter — and not ironically. But when Darnell misses all of James' literary references, is that satire, or is it racist and classist? RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "pervasive crude and sexual content and language, some graphic nudity, and drug material." RUNNING TIME: 99 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two and a half stars out of four.

In this image released by Lionsgate, Theo James, from left, Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller appear in a scene from "The Divergent Series: Insurgent."
"Insurgent" could use more divergence By JAKE COYLE Associated Press Given that conformity is the scourge of the "Divergent" series and much of its youngadult ilk, it's a shame that the films, including the new "Insurgent," do so little to stray from well-worn YA paths. For a series that waves the banner of individualism, they make a poor case for it. Instead of throbbing with a teenage spirit of rebellion — or things like youthful wildness, humor or sex — the two "Divergent" movies are curiously content to eke out a rigid, lifeless fable in drab futuristic environs. The answer, here, to the question of what
are you rebelling against isn't "Whaddya got?" but the slightly less visceral "An elaborate, highly metaphorical dystopian system of militaristic control." But even faint, fantastical whiffs of teen insurrection carry enough potency to drive feverish young audiences. Why? Much of it has to do with the stars. Say what you will about YA movies, but they've been an efficient star-making machine that's produced Jennifer Lawrence, Kristen Stewart and Shailene Woodley. We should be happy to have them: good actresses all, who easily lead their respective films over their male counterparts. The YA men aren't as fine a bunch but
here include the hunky Theo James and the excellent Miles Teller. Predictably providing "Insurgent" with its only lively, comedic moments, Teller looks as if he didn't get the note that all must be sullen and serious. A quick summary. Based on Veronica Roth's trilogy of best-selling novels, the "Divergent" films are set in a walled, post-apocalyptic Chicago, where survivors are ritualistically sorted into five factions. Every 16-year-old is tested for which faction suits them, and then must choose one and remain there forever. Tris (Woodley) chose Dauntless, who are known for their bravery and, it seems, their proclivity for train hopping. But her test revealed her to be "divergent" — someone
who has no dominant characteristic but a plethora — and this makes her uncontrollable. In "Divergent," Tris came to embrace her fate, find a boyfriend in Dauntless leader Four (James, who has a natural chemistry with Woodley) and stop a plot by the city's overlord, Janine (Kate Winslet) to make zombies of its citizens. "Insurgent," the full name of which is the suitably clunky "The Divergent Series: Insurgent," finds the tale largely spinning its wheels and features many redundant confrontations. Along with an underground revolutionary leader played by an underused Naomi Watts, Tris and Four organize a revolt against Janine.
Two early spring clinkers By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge I was lucky enough to see a rough cut of the newest film in the Divergent Series, called Insurgent, about seven weeks ago at an event in Atlanta sponsored by Lionsgate Films. I wasn't particularly thrilled about it, to be honest with you, since the first film didn't seem to me to be anything but "Hunger Games Lite". When you're invited by the studio, months ahead of time, and plied with a delicious barbecue dinner beforehand, though, you act in no way but graciously when you see their work...especially if it's not yet colored properly, missing its score, and hasn't been 3D retrofitted. Sadly, those were the parts I liked best about the experience and I had to sneak from the auditorium
to avoid making conversation with the LGF representative. Maybe I could have found something nice to say about his $110 million movie. I wasn't going to put myself in that improvisational spot. For those of you that have blocked it out, it seems prudent that I recap it for you. In the series opener, we're introduced to Tris (Shailene Woodley), a "divergent" citizen of future Chicago where all people are classified into groups based on personality traits that they are supposed to adopt for the betterment of their civilization. Her boyfriend, Four (Theo James), and Jeanine (Kate Winslet), the appointed leader of their society, are both the good and bad things in Tris's world. There also seemed to be a lot to do with her training for combat. It's all kind of hazy. And
so is the storyline for Insurgent as I sit here two months removed from that disappointing night in the ATL. Tris and Four remain a smoldering power couple, but they take the fight to Jeanine in this movie. I guess I'm burning out on the whole Young Adult novel genre. After the trainwreck way The Hunger Games is going and a fast-tracked sequel to The Mazerunner, I think I'm ready for a break. July's Paper Towns, though, has an amazing trailer. The Divergent Series: Insurgent runs 134 minutes and is rated PG-13 for intense violence and action throughout, some sensuality, thematic elements, and brief language. I give this film one star out of four. ••• To avoid the lackluster opening ($52.4 million) of Insurgent this
week, I instead tried my luck with The Gunman, a new thriller from writer and actor Sean Penn. Penn is something else, man. He's won Oscars for starring in two fantastic movies - Milk and Mystic River - the latter of which still has by vote as the finest ensemble acting in any movie I've ever seen. That's not a statement that I make lightly. I also didn't real care for the picture, it's storyline rubbing me the wrong way. Penn's also a noted jerk, never shying away from offering his unsolicited opinion to whatever bloke has the guts to point a microphone in his direction. I'd like to think he someone I could be great enemies with, but when would I ever make time for something like that? The Gunman is nothing original. Penn's Jim Terrier is a
April 2, 2015
CIA operative that participated in some shenanigans in the Democratic Republic of Congo about a decade before the events of this movie. He assassinated a public official and was then left to blow away in the wind by a colleague (Javier Bardem) that had designs on his girlfriend (Jasmine Trinca) the whole time. Now, while trying to rebuild a life as a decent human being, Terrier begins to be pursued by former threats that bring back his agent days. What follows is a short-fuse action thriller about getting back, getting even, and getting the girl. It flourished early, but this trite movie doesn't deliver by show's end. The Gunman runs 130 minutes and is rated R for strong violence, language, and some sexuality. I give this film one and a half stars out of four.
