Travel Go jump in a lake For The Edge Looking for easy and inexpensive ways to have fun with your family this summer? Go jump in a lake!

Nothing does the trick like a day at the beach and luckily, you'll find some of Chicagoland's best sand beaches just a short drive northwest in McHenry County. Check out these ideas! Click on attraction names for more info and driving directions.

Three Oaks Recreation Area, Crystal Lake: This reclaimed quarry has pristine water and a beautiful soft sand beach with certified lifeguards, splash pad with spray jets and buckets of water poured from overhead, playground with memory foam decking, scuba diving, hiking and biking trails, pavilion rentals and picnic area with grills.

The 4,400 sq. ft. Lake House has changing rooms with coin-operated lockers, showers, toilets, first-aid center, free wi-fi, and an overhead pergola where parents can relax and view kids playing on the beach.

The Lake House also has a on-site Culver's restaurant providing concessions, but you're welcome to bring in your own food, too.

While personal watercraft are not allowed on the lake, the marina rents row boats, canoes, kayaks, paddleboats, paddle pontoons and sailboats. The marina also sells fishing licenses, night-crawlers and fishing tackle. Open Daily 10 a.m. to sunset though Labor Day. www. crystallake.org/residents/threeoaks-recreation-area The Quarry Cable Park, Crystal Lake: Quarry Cable Park is a perfect complement to Crystal Lake's Three Oaks Recreation Area, which began life as a gravel pit more than 60 years ago. Now you can enjoy wakeboarding at this next-generation cable wake park.

Cable wakeboarding is similar to wakeboarding behind a boat, but without a boat, riders are pulled along a cable system suspended in

the air by a series of towers around the sparkling clear lake dotted with jumps and other features.

After boarding, there's a fire pit, live music, sand volleyball, bean bag toss and open-air yoga to enjoy. New this year is Duke's On the Water. Downtown Crystal Lake's Duke's Alehouse is proud to announce its partnership with The Quarry Cable Park, serving burgers, sandwiches, salads and comfort foods with indoor and outdoor seating. Open daily 10 a.m. to sunset through Oct. 5. www. thequarrycablepark.com

Claudia and Bill Perozzi

The Charles Bridge in Prague.

Prague – rich in the past and the present

By CLAUDIA and BILL PEROZZI For the Edge Claudia and Bill Perozzi are former Glen Carbon residents who have done their best to visit every corner of their globe since their retirements. The couple now lives in California. This is the third of a three-part series that will run this summer on their trip to Eastern Europe.

We saw a prince in Prague. A real prince only a few feet away. Well, I guess it's not too surprising as we were in his palace.

We had bought tickets ahead of time for a mid-day concert at the Lobkowicz Palace. To us mid-day meant noon and we had to hurry to get to the palace on time. We arrived breathless about 15 minutes before noon only to be told that mid-day in the Czech Republic meant 1:00.

A gracious receptionist suggested we have lunch at the palace cafe. We were seated on a balcony overlooking a panoramic view of the red tiled roofs of Prague. At the table next to us several young men were joined by a tall, slender, dignified man. He looked like he never had to hurry, that he had only eaten gourmet meals, that he could have been a fashion model and he was still like your uncle, the friendly one. The young men seemed in awe and took turns telling him their college plans.

When we went back to the receptionist, she confirmed the prince had been in the cafe.

She showed us his photo and we confirmed our sighting of him. As impressive as he was in person, his museum, which we visited after the concert, was even more impressive.

The Lobkowicz family has been patrons for many great artists like Canaletto and Rubens whose artwork was on view and great composers like Beethoven and Mozart whose original handwritten compositions were on

display. Such a rare treasure trove!

So while seeing a prince and his museum tops my list of favorite things in Prague, my list goes on and on. Let me recount the ways.

Our Astoria Hotel was both reasonable and convenient to Old Town Square. We easily walked to the Tourist Information Center near the square for our first guided tour with Neweuro which was free. It covered highlights and history so well that we tipped the guide Terry as much as we would have paid for a regular tour. She even explained the recent history of Czechoslovakia which in 1993 split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia in what has been called the Velvet Revolution because it was so peaceful.

In the square we gathered with our guide in front of the must see sight of the astrological clock which provides hourly entertainment. We joined a crowd of over a hundred expectant tourists with all eyes upturned to the clock. On the hour a few figures moved and ll apostles and Paul rotated out and back in. "Is that all there is?" Yes, this is considered the second most disappointing sight after the Mona Lisa.

Still, it's a must see.

Also on the Old Town Square is a very large memorial statue of Jan Hus, Czech hero and religious reformer. When he tried to reform the Catholic Church, he was labeled a heretic and was burned at the stake. Later reformers like Martin Luther learned to pave the way politically for their changes to avoid a similar fate.

Right around the corner from the memorial sits the Hussite Church of St. Nicholas.

Fortunately we were there on a Sunday so after our tour we got to see a service. The priest was a woman with a lovely voice that was backed up by a Susuki string orchestra.

When she concluded the service she invited all to stay for a concert by the orchestra

which we enjoyed hearing and seeing them, young and old, sway in unison. The most memorable sight in the church was a huge chandelier, a brightly lit ring looking like a crown for a giant. Jan Hus left a giant legacy.

On another tour we headed for the castle, on the other side of the river and on a hill, of course. The complex included housing for support staff in cottages and the impressive St. Vitus's Cathedral with gorgeous, colorful stained glass windows.

As the sun streamed through some windows, we were awed and then a guide pointed out little advertisements worked into the design. Who knew advertising was such an old profession?

On our own we found the Jewish Quarter, especially known for the Old-New Synagogue. First it was the new synagogue but when a newer one was built it became the old-new one. Even though the newer one was destroyed the old-new one retained its designation. Did you follow that?

Nearby a small gallery featured very moving art by children who survived the holocaust. Art became therapy for the children as they grappled with their experiences and their losses. Seeing the heartbreak and tragedy through the eyes of children made a deep impact on us and I'm sure on others. But we also felt hope, like a small seedling poking through all the ashes of destruction.

Our son-in-law described the Charles Bridge as his favorite of all the bridges he's seen in his extensive travels so that became the next must see sight for us. This pedestrian bridge over the Vltava River is light with traffic as motorized vehicles are not allowed but it appears heavy with statuary. At regular intervals 30 baroque statues of saints and religious figures rise up to great heights. Crossing is like moving

through a church service with the money changers still there as frequent stalls offer a range of items for sale. We agree Charles Bridge is remarkably beautiful.

Having taken the bridge across the river we wound up on the side where boats were available for evening dinner cruises so that's what we signed up for next. After a day of touring and sightseeing, it was so relaxing to board the boat and take seats on the upper deck. A small band played music familiar to the locals but not to us. Dinner also served up local favorites accompanied by Lobkowicz beer.

Daylight faded into dusk as the city lit up. We heard the story about the Rolling Stones giving a concert in Prague. They were impressed with the beauty of the castle but disappointed that it was dark at night. As a gift to the city, they paid to have the castle lighted every night. It's the gift that keeps on glowing. We said good night to the other tourists on the boat and the next day we bade good by to Prague.

When we returned home, still fascinated by our brush with royalty, I read an article about Prince William Lobkowicz and found that he was born and raised in the United States as his family had fled here before World War II. When the communist party took over in Czechoslovakia, the Lobkowicz family fortunes were confiscated. But they were also catalogued and when the communist regime fell, these records helped the family reestablish ownership of their properties.

One provision the new Czech Republic instituted requires that all reclaimed property remain in that country. If the family could sell just a few of the many valuable paintings outside of the country, they would have the money to renovate and rebuild their vast holdings. But now they must find ways to

People Veggie Fest Chicago returns For The Edge Veggie Fest Chicago is one of the largest vegetarian food and lifestyle festivals in North America, and it happening in the Chicago suburbs! The two-day festival, which drew record-breaking crowds from around the world last year, will be held from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm on August 12 and 13, 2017 at Benedictine University, 5700 College Rd., Lisle, IL 60532.

With a huge international food court; health professionals speaking on diet, lifestyle, and environmental issues; engaging food demos by restaurant owners, chefs, and authors; an incredible children's tent with face painting, clowns, and crafts; live music from some of Chicago's best bands; over 100 vendor booths to explore; and free admission and free parking, Veggie Fest has become a highly anticipated summer event in the Chicagoland area.

This year's line up of fantastic live music includes the following Chicago bands: V. Holmes' "A Tribute to the Motown Greats": Dedicated to the cultural, educational, and spiritual upliftment of people of all nationalities through music that was the "Sound of Young America" in the 60's, 70's and 80's, this band is always a crowd pleaser. They'll be closing out Veggie Fest on Saturday, August 12.

Gizzae: This award-winning reggae band hails from the beautiful Caribbean island of Dominica, the Ancient Lands of Ethiopia, and the South Side of Chicago. They'll be closing out Veggie Fest on Sunday, August 13.

The Giving Tree Band: For Todd and Eric Fink of there is no distinction between playing music and just plain living. Their bodies and instruments become a singularity that is just trying to get in tune, stay in tune, and add a little harmony to the grand symphony of life.

Rico Band: With the rich sound of diversified cultures, and influenced tremendously by the band Santana, they also put their energetic, funky, and joyous spin on tunes by Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, James Brown, and others.

Zach: This nationally touring vegan singer songwriter has been performing his uplifting and upbeat pop-folk music from house concerts to theatres to festivals for over a decade.

He is also the creator of The Akron Peace Project, working to cultivate nonviolence in the self, the home, and the community.

Sebastian had chronic gout inflammation, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and was overweight, while Ewa suffered from chronic migraines, painful monthly cycles, constant sugar cravings, and more.

Now, with more than 25 years raising a family of vegetarians and vegans, cooking is more special and meaningful to me than ever.

People People planner Airport plans Art of Travel gala

St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL) has partnered with Third Degree Glass Factory artists in commissioning a custom collection of glass works that will be offered for sale at the Airport’s 7th annual Art of Travel gala on October 5, 2017. Art lovers, philanthropists, community leaders and supporters of STL will attend this year's gala with a nod to candy and glass, Your Ticket to Candyville; a sweet escape to a colorful world of whimsy!

The commissioned Art of Travel glass collection is being created at the Third Degree Glass Factory by four St. Louis area artists: Dan Alexander, William Haynes, Jeremy Lampe and Michael Moran. Each of these talented artists will be creating unique and new works. Shaping soft, fluid, hot glass to harden into beautiful, translucent shapes is very similar to pulling crystalline sugar and taffy into whimsical and delicious candies.

The Art of Travel glass collection will feature more than 100 creations including sculptures, vases, bowls, pitchers, barware, ornamental candies and holiday ornaments. The items will sell between $40 and $400 each.

The annual fundraiser benefits the Lambert Art & Culture Program, which supports the Airport’s growing temporary exhibitions program of local and regional artists as well as future permanent art works throughout the terminals and concourses. The Art of Travel on Oct 5 will be held in Terminal 1’s Concourse B from 6-9 p.m. For event and ticket information, visit www. artoftravelstl.com.

Last year ’s event supported more than a dozen exhibitions at the Airport in the past year by local artists and organizations including Tom Sleet, Amy Reidel, Robert Ketchens, Michael Hoffman, Ken Konchel, Jenna Bauer, Gallery 210, Wildwood Press, Work/Play, Artists First, Craft Alliance, Schmidt Art Center, Missouri History Museum and the Sam Fox School of Art & Design for its installation of Spectroplexus.

In addition to the custom glass, the 7th annual Art of Travel will feature a savory and sweet-inspired menu by the Airport’s master food and beverage concessionaire, HMSHost.

It didn't take long for the Richardson family to decide on the theme for this year's corn maze.

They knew what it would be the minute the Chicago Cubs won the

6

annual destination for family fun, with a new 28-acre maze every year, plus more than 30 activities, including wagon rides, pig races, a vintage carousel and a "park train" that runs on real tracks.

Most of the activities are included in the admission fee. Only a few, such as the zip line and orb rides, cost extra. Private picnic sites with campfires are available by reservation, and there's plenty of free parking.

The last two mazes -- the 50th anniversary of "Star Trek" in 2016

World Series back in November.

That gave the family all winter to finalize an intricate design featuring Harry Caray yelling "Holy Cow!"; the Cubs logo; a Cubs pitcher and a batter; the Chicago Skyline; the Wrigley Field marquee; and the iconic ivy-covered outfield walls.

Located just an hour's drive northwest of Chicago, Richardson Adventure Farm has been in the family since 1840, and they planted their first corn maze in 2001.

Over the years, it has become an

QuickGlance Movie Reviews

"Transformers: The Last Knight"

A concussed serenity sets in somewhere in the middle of the ceaseless ballet of metal and machismo in Michael Bay's "Transformers: The Last Knight." Freed of concerns like plausibility or story, you can simply gape in wonder at the ruthlessly thunderous images in front of you.

Maybe that's the feeling of brain cells dying a painful, anguished death. It's a sensation I imagine cornered boxers sometimes experience while blow after blow rains down upon them. Dazed by the unrelenting digital demolition on screen, thoughts go through your head like: 'Can this movie literally crush me?' 'Is death by Dolby possible?' and 'You know, it's really time to get the car washed.'

By the time you've scraped yourself off the floor after all 149 minutes of the 3-D "The Last Knight," you feel the need to compensate for the sheer gluttony of destruction, of unrelenting bigness. Maybe fast for a little while, you think, or just sit quietly in a corner. Bay might be spinning another tale of Autobot v. Decepticon in which the fate of the planet hangs in the balance, but his real battle is conquering you, the moviegoer. And make no mistake about it. He's gonna win.

"Transformers: The Last Knight, is, if nothing else, a pummeling. The fifth in the franchise and second in the "Wahlberg Years" (Mark Wahlberg replaced Shia LaBeouf as lead in the last installment), "The Last Knight" continues the Hasbro toy adaptations and expands further into the alien machines' mythology.

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "intense sequences of sci-fi action violence, brief sexual humor and language."

RUNNING TIME: 149 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.

"The Beguiled"

"The Beguiled" is a strange and uncomfortable film in both of its iterations. Sofia Coppola's take is more nuanced than the 1971 original, with deeper insight into the ladies of Ms. Farnsworth's Seminary and perhaps not enough into the wounded soldier who disrupts their lives.

The writer-director brings her characteristic elegance to the film, which, like the original, is based on the 1966 novel by Thomas Cullinan. Coppola's Civil War South is all mossy woods, buttoned-up dresses and gated plantations, realized in immaculate detail. So many shots, including the eerie final image, could be framed and popped into a museum.

While Coppola broadens the story's female characters beyond the stereotypes shown in 1971, she leaves the soldier's motives less clear, which makes his life-altering transgression harder to understand.

The story is set in Virginia in 1864. Despite the war raging right outside her property, Ms. Farnsworth (Nicole Kidman) has continued to run her Seminary for Young Ladies, with a single teacher, Edwina (Kirsten Dunst), and five students.

Everything changes for them when one of the youngest girls brings home a badly wounded Union soldier she discovered during a walk in the woods.

"You are a most unwelcome visitor," Ms. Farnsworth tells the handsome Cpl. John McBurney (Colin Farrell), after stitching up his tattered leg and giving him a sponge bath.

McBurney is locked in the music room, but his presence in the house causes a stir among its residents, distracting them from their daily routine of Bible studies, French lessons and etiquette practice. One girl fears they could face consequences for harboring an enemy. Another wants him to meet her pet turtle.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "some sexuality."

RUNNING TIME: 94 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

On the Edge of the Weekend

"War for the Planet of the Apes"

Apparently all the new Planet of the Apes films needed to do to really hit a home run was take the humans out of the equation. It's what this whole trilogy has been leading to, really, as we dipped our toes into the rise, dawn and now war of this burgeoning civilization of apes and the humans who are desperately and often dishonorably fighting for their survival.

"War for the Planet of the Apes " is a riveting and surprisingly poignant epic that's a shade above the rest of the franchise dreck populating every multiplex in the country. It's as though director Matt Reeves, screenwriter Mark Bomback and the production actually put care and thought into what they were doing with their characters.

Reeves wastes no time getting the action started with a gripping opening battle. We enter the world through the eyes of some terrified intruders. A group of human soldiers walk through the woods in search of Caesar (Andy Serkis). They don't know whether he's still alive, but their leader is hell-bent on exterminating the apes.

Caesar and his followers have been operating from a secret hideout in the woods — a gorgeous little Eden tucked away behind a thundering waterfall. When the soldiers find them, the apes fight back swiftly and effectively and nearly take out all of the combatants. Caesar spares the lives of the few survivors to send a message back to their leader that the apes are not savages and just want to live in peace separately from the humans.

Of course the message inspires exactly the opposite reaction and the beautiful and harrowing and nearly silent nighttime raid that comes soon leaves the apes no choice but to abandon their home and hit the road in search of safety.

Caesar, however, decides he must go off alone and avenge his community by destroying the Colonel (Woody Harrelson), a deranged Kurtz figure who is truly one of the best true villains we've had in quite some time.

RATED: PG-13 for "sequences of sci-fi violence and action, thematic elements, and some disturbing images."

RUNNING TIME: 142 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three and a half stars out of four.

"Baby Driver"

There's nothing like an epic getaway chase to kick a movie into high gear, and the first five minutes of "Baby Driver " are pure movie magic.

A driver named Baby (Ansel Elgort) sits coolly in a car — black Ray-Ban style shades on his face, earbud headphones in place and a jacket that's, fittingly, somewhere between Ferris Bueller and Han Solo. His tough-looking passengers (Jon Hamm, Eiza Gonzalez and Jon Bernthal) exit with comical menace, assault weapons in hand. Baby sits back, cranks up "Bellbottoms" by the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and air guitars his way through the sequence while the others rob a bank and exit in a hurry. That's when things really get going as Baby steps on the gas and maneuvers away from the cops with heartpounding, exhilarating polish. It's a car chase for the ages.

It should be no surprise then that what comes after doesn't quite live up to that initial jolt of adrenaline. Nor should it, really — it would be brutal to sustain something like that for the duration of a film (and we already have "Mad Max: Fury Road").

Director and writer Edgar Wright crafts a slick, stylish and wholly original action epic with "Baby Driver," which is both as good as anything you're bound to see in theaters this summer and a bit of a drop-off from the incredibly high bar that Wright has proven himself capable of hitting.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "violence and language throughout." ' RUNNING TIME: 113 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

"A Ghost Story"

A fatal, off-screen car crash interrupts the picturesque, suburban lives of a young married couple in David Lowery's "A Ghost Story," marooning the deceased husband musician (Casey Affleck) in a kind of purgatory as a watchful, mostly benign ghost.

The movie is, inevitably, "the one where Casey Affleck spends most of the movie with a bedsheet over his head." With two holes for eyes, he resembles a last-minute Halloween costume.

Such a simple, sheeted specter — as Hollywood ghosts go — is tantamount to a radical deviation from prevailing orthodoxy.

There's no CGI. Nobody gets slimed. A shirtless Patrick Swayze doesn't make a single pot.

No, the most audacious display of cinematic extreme in "A Ghost Story" is a scene where the ghost watches his widowed wife (Rooney Mara), in a fit of grief and hunger, eat pie. For five minutes.

"A Ghost Story" may sound like a punchline. Such is the curse of movies with covered-up movie stars and marathon pie-eating scenes. But it's an exceedingly earnest, meditative movie about big ideas — the nature of time, life's impermanence — that goes well beyond the intentionally dime-store costume design. It's an often transfixing, frequently unsatisfying fable that blends the fantastical with the banal in a way that the naturalistic/ surrealistic Thai filmmaker Apichatpong Weeresethakul might if someone were to hand him a bedsheet.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "brief language and a disturbing image."

RUNNING TIME: Running time: 87 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two and a half stars out of four.

"Spider-Man: Homecoming"

One thing is certain: Culture has not been lacking in takes on Spider-Man for the past 15 years. First there was Tobey Maguire, who under the direction of Sam Raimi for three films ushered in the modern superhero era, and then there was Andrew Garfield whose two films with Marc Webb were immediately forgettable. And now, like all obedient franchises, they're trying to start all over again, this time with the much more age-appropriate Tom Holland in "Spider-Man: Homecoming ."

And you know what? Superhero cynicism aside, "SpiderMan: Homecoming" is really fun. Director Jon Watts, whose only previous feature film credit is the indie thriller "Cop Car," has confidently put his stamp on the friendly neighborhood web-slinger by making one bold move: actually casting teenagers to play teenagers.

Yes, after two films with late 20-somethings donning the Spidey suit and getting bitten by that pesky spider, Spider-Man finally gets to be a kid (and we get to skip over the whole origin/ Uncle Ben story). Instead, Watts' film, which is upsettingly credited to six screenwriters, picks up with Peter Parker (Holland) right before, during and after the events of "Captain America: Civil War," which introduced Holland's Spider-Man in that epic airport Avengers battle.

Instead of a "last week in Marvel" segment to catch up, we're given a refresher via Peter's perspective. He's just an excited kid who filmed the whole adventure and ever since has been thirsting for more Avengers action. He tries, endearingly, to prove his mettle on his own as he waits idly in Queens for a call from Tony Stark — giving directions to the elderly, retrieving stolen bikes and doing flips on command.

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "sci-fi action violence, some language and brief suggestive comments."

RUNNING TIME: 133 minutes.

"A Ghost Story" casts bizarre spell

By JAKE COYLE Associated Press A fatal, off-screen car crash interrupts the picturesque, suburban lives of a young married couple in David Lowery's "A Ghost Story," marooning the deceased husband musician (Casey Affleck) in a kind of purgatory as a watchful, mostly benign ghost.

Such is the curse of movies with covered-up movie stars and marathon pie-eating scenes.

But it's an exceedingly earnest, meditative movie about big ideas — the nature of time, life's impermanence — that goes well beyond the intentionally dime-store costume design.

It's an often transfixing, frequently unsatisfying fable that blends the fantastical with the banal in a way that the naturalistic/surrealistic Thai filmmaker Apichatpong Weeresethakul might if someone were to hand him a bedsheet.

Lowery shot the film secretly in between

making Disney movies: after directing the rebooted "Pete's Dragon" and before developing a new "Peter Pan." It was designed like an audacious indie experiment, made with little expectation of triumph, that reteamed the stars (Affleck, Mara) of Lowery's lyrical outlaw romance "Ain't Them Bodies Saints."

And "A Ghost Story," with fragmented scenes and leaps through time, does have the electric feel of something made off the radar and without a net. The early scenes between the couple — known only as M (her) and C (him) — have a cosmic backdrop, interspersed with shots of the sky at night, the humming of a quivering score of violins and the lush sunlight of Texas golden hour. A strange noise wakes them at night, and Lowery lingers on the couple as they hold each other in bed, kiss

softly and drift back to sleep.

But on a beautiful, buzzing morning, we find the husband slumped against the wheel outside their home. In the morgue, Lowery holds his shot on the body after the wife and doctors depart. A few moments later, the sheetcovered body sits up, walks down the hall, opts not to step into the light, and meanders his way home.

His purpose is far from clear, even to himself.

He patiently, stoically observes his wife's grief.

Time moves slowly and then in giant leaps. She eventually moves out, but he stays. A family moves in. Years pass. It's the lost ghost — an increasingly sad figure, even without facial expression — who's haunted. When he looks out the window, he sees another ghost in the neighboring house.

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH For The Edge It took them seventy-something y e a r s t o m a k e a “ Wo n d e r Woman” movie and now “SpiderM a n ” i s l a u n c h i n g h i s t h i rd go-‘round in the last fifteen? It’s hard, very hard, not to be jaded when you work in a business that gives your quick and ample access to movies and the seedier knowledges that goes behind it in the movie business. “Wonder Woman” was very good. I liked it a lot. It’s not “Apollo 13” or “To Kill a Mockingbird”, but it pleased my palate. So why do I currently feel so aggressive when faced with – without a doubt – the best of the “SpiderMan” films (and actor playing him, Tom Holland)? It’s largely my Superhero Fatigue, a self-

diagnosed disorder that I’m pursuing with the AMA since my request for trademark status was shot down (thanks a lot, Trump!). Moreover, my gripe with this movie, one that’s a riot and rather fresh-feeling for a comics adaptation, is that we’ve seen it all before…even if we haven’t seen this particular one before. One of my nieces has a catchphrase about things like this. She gets her street-smart sensibilities from me.

Why do I feel like we’ve seen i t a l l b e f o re ? We l l , H o l l a n d debuted as the new Spidey (after A n d re w G a r f i e l d w a s r i g h t l y and unceremoniously dumped

by Sony) in last year ’s “Captain A m e r i c a : C i v i l Wa r ” . T h a t ’ s part of it. Still, he was easily the best part of that movie, one I remember liking better than

most of these noisy red, white, a n d b l u r re d t o g e t h e r m o n e y making machines.

He was funny and quick, a highlight that’s hard to ensure when Paul Rudd (remember Ant Man?) is also in your movie. Holland is young and scrappy. He’s been in the business since he was a small child, but he’s breaking b i g r i g h t n o w. J u s t e n o u g h MCU characters are Peppered (capitalization intentional) into the film to make it relevant in the great scope of things, which is omni-important as Kevin Feige continues his trajectory to become the most powerful human in Hollywood. Robert Downey, Jr.’s Tony Stark is young Peter Parker ’s mentor during this iteration of events. That said, he gives him the cool tech suit a n d t h e t a s t e o f h e ro i s m a n d

then leaves him to suffer the indignities of being a teenager in high school in Queens, NY. Their foster father & son routine was touching and enjoyable, but I wanted more than what I got, especially since most of it was already in the trailer.

Oh, and there’s action. Lots of it, but really mostly in the second half of "Spider-Man: Homecoming". The resurgent Michael Keaton (cashing in after “Birdman” and “Spotlight”) co-stars as Adrian Toomes, a blue collar guy who uses some alien hardware to become the Vulture, an archenemy bent on teaching our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man (and the Starks of NYC) the real meaning of danger when they thwart his attempts to earn an honest living. Marisa Tomei co-stars as a fetching take

July 20, 2017

o n A u n t M a y. T h e re ’ s s o m e other kid actors (Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier) that help cement the fact that this movie is fully entrenched in a world where Peter, who happened to be bitten by a radioactive spider some time before this movie’s storyline exists, is just some punk trying to figure it all out during Sophomore Chemistry.

F o r m y m o n e y, t h e r a t - a - t a t humor is worth the price of admission, even or especially if you are as tired of this genre as I am. Don’t trip over the clichés in the dark.

“Spider-Man: Homecoming” runs 133 minutes and is rated PG-13 for sci-fi action violence, some language, and brief suggestive comments. I give this film two and a half stars out of four.

Why some Arab countries want to shutter Al Jazeera

By PHILIP SEIB University of Southern California, Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism (THE CONVERSATION) On June 5 four Arab states – Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt – declared a soft war on Qatar. They had a long list of demands, ordering Qatar to weaken ties with Iran, expel Turkish military forces from the country and take other steps that would reduce Qatar ’s influence in the region. They also demanded that Qatar close Al Jazeera, the Qatari-funded media network that, for years, has been critical of other Arab regimes. So far the Qatari government has resisted pressure to curb the activities of the network.

I’ve been studying and writing about Al Jazeera since its early years, sometimes with concern, sometimes with appreciation. My 2008 book “The Al Jazeera Effect” explored the political significance of regional satellite television news networks in the Arab world and beyond.

Although the politics of Al Jazeera remain controversial, I believe shutting down any news organization weakens the viability of a free press – particularly in a region where democracy has so much difficulty gaining traction.

When Al Jazeera launched in 1996, it shook the Arab media landscape.

At the time, stodgy, government-controlled television newscasts were the norm. They featured uncontroversial reporting with low

production standards. Suddenly, there was a channel that offered relatively uncensored coverage of the region’s politics with the sleek look of Western news programs like those on BBC and CNN. Most importantly, when there was a big story within the Arab World – such as the Second Intifada, the 2000 Palestinian uprising against Israel – Arab audiences no longer had to turn to Western broadcasters to get analysis about what was happening. Instead, they saw Arab reporters covering the news with a pro-Arab slant. Al Jazeera English, which was founded in 2006, prides itself on covering more stories and perspectives from the “Global South” than other news organizations.

Mo re b ro adly, the ch an nel became

controversial because of its coverage of the American wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The George W. Bush administration considered its coverage inflammatory for highlighting civilian casualties in those conflicts, with government officials charging that Al Jazeera was stirring up opposition to U.S. efforts in the region.

Yet Al Jazeera’s free-wheeling, pan-Arab approach has also been a source of ire for Middle Eastern rulers who prefer to control the news that reaches their citizens. Al Jazeera has reported critically about these governments, especially those that are now acting against Qatar. Its talk shows have debated topics such as religion and women’s issues in ways that have redefined the concept of “free speech” in the Arab world.

Dining Delights July is Ice Cream Month A couple of cool treats to help you beat the heat For The Edge It sounds almost too good to be true, there is an entire month dedicated to ice cream. July is Ice Cream Month and what better way to cool off from the summer heat than with a scoop of this delicious frozen treat? Ice cream has long been a staple in warm weather, and July is the perfect time to pay homage to our favorite dessert.

To celebrate Ice Cream Month, you are limited only by your imagination. While there is no “wrong” way to enjoy your favorite flavor, try thinking outside the box to make the most of the month devoted to creamy delicious ice cream.

Top It Break up the monotony of your morning meal by adding a scoop of your favorite ice cream to hot cereal.

Instead of the same old instant flavored oatmeal, top plain oatmeal with ice cream, walnuts and berries.

“Ice cream has a nutrition edge over other desserts by containing the nutrients that dairy foods offer.

Adding it to oatmeal provides a fun twist to a fiber-rich breakfast,” says Erin Rich, Nutrition Educator with St. Louis District Dairy Council.

Sip It Switch out your hot coffee drink for a summer beverage inspired by the iced coffee trend. Skip stirring in cream and sugar to your morning cup of Joe and add vanilla ice cream instead! This “coffee float” is not your traditional morning beverage or your typical dessert, but a hybrid of the two. Simply add a tablespoon (or three) of the creamy dairy dessert, stir and enjoy.

Layer It Take a scoop—or a layer—of your favorite flavor to the next level by creating a custom dessert. Just like the layers of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry seen in Neapolitan ice cream, you can layer any flavor

combination to build a new dessert.

Try layering cookies ‘n cream with chocolate brownie and peanut butter flavors. Or add blueberries and diced strawberries between

On the Edge of the Weekend

layers of vanilla ice cream for a patriotic nod to the American flag for July 4th festivities.

No matter how you choose to celebrate, make sure to enjoy your

July 20, 2017

favorite ice cream flavors this month. Keep in mind, ice cream is a dessert unlike any other. Rich notes, “The mixture of milk and other dairy ingredients not only gives ice cream its rich flavor, but sneaks in nutrients as well.”
