St. Louis Regional Aiport to host Annual Open House and Fly In Event will pay tribute to Joe Meyer and Allen Cassens For The Edge
O
n Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., St. Louis Regional Airport will be celebrating the 20th Anniversary of their Annual Open House and Fly In. The event has grown phenomenally since it was re-started in 1994. Last year 100 airplanes and more than 300 automobiles from 6 states participated. This year a hovercraft and radio-controlled planes will join the festivities. The car show was added to the event in 2009 and it has quickly become one of the largest shows in the Midwest attracting entries from as far away as Tennessee, Iowa and Wisconsin. The Jersey County Street Machine Association (JCSMA) coordinates both the show and a swap meet for car enthusiasts. New technology will be showcased as
kids age 8-17 can return with their parents for free flights sponsored by the EAA Chapter 864 Young Eagles. Youth are encouraged to do advance registration for the free flights Saturday during the Fly In. Admission and parking are completely free. Parking is located just off of Hwy. 111 directly in front of the airport. A map and event details are available at www. stlouisregional.com.

well as antique autos, hot rods, custom cars and motorcycles. Last year SIUE’s solar race car was on display and this year a hovercraft will be operating on the circle around the F-4 in front of the Airport’s High Flyer’s Grille. The East Side RC Club will show off their radio-controlled model airplanes and helicopters, including a half-scale Edge 540 powered by a 275 cc gasoline engine. There will be demonstrations as allowed by weather and the control tower. Fly Ins were originally big events in the early days of the Airport. In the 1950’s Cessna’s largest dealership in the world, Walston Aviation was located at the Airport which was called Civic Memorial back then. Walston would display their planes and showcase WWII aircraft. “This year will be a special one for us as we pay a tribute to Joe Meyer who was instrumental in re-starting
the Fly In tradition,” said David Miller, airport manager. “Both Joe and fellow pilot Allen Cassens who also died on Friday, June 13 of this year were active leaders in Airport activities.” Miller says that in honor of Meyer and Cassens, everyone is working extra-hard to make this the best event in history. There are already a number of planes signed up as well as an OH58 Military Helicopter. Pilots are encouraged to do advance registration by calling St. Louis Regional at 618-259-2531. Food and drink will be on sale and families are welcome to bring picnic baskets. There will be activities for kids and a multinational firearms display that will give adults and kids alike a close up view of historical weapons. The Amateur Radio Emergency Service will have a demonstration station on-the-air. Though the planes and cars will be gone on Sunday, September 28,

event/760846 Synopsis: Benjamin Murphy stages a one-man rebellion against the clock, the monotony of an eightto-five job and the dehumanizing forces of an increasing mechanized and commercial society. Ben takes us on a series of fantastic adventures that culminate in an escape from the mundane…taking us up his stairs to the roof to a better, more Utopian world.

The story is influenced by his tenure at the International Shoe Factory in St. Louis. "Stairs to the Roof" will be the premiere performance at the new renovated Boo Cat Club, the former St. Louis Artist Guild, that was built in 1906 where Willliams produced a number of his earlier plays.

People People planner Happy Up, Inc. to host Tony Hale
On Saturday, September 27th, 2014, Edwardville Toy Store, Happy Up, Inc. will host an appearance and book signing by Actor and now children’s book author, Tony Hale. The book launches at the same time of Hale’s second Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for his portrayal of Gary Walsh on HBO’s Veep. He was the award winner for the category in the previous year. He is also known for his role as Buster Bluth in the critically-acclaimed series Arrested Development, which has just signed on for another series on Netflix. Tony will be meeting fans, and signing his new book starting at 1:30 pm. Happy Up is located at 6654 Edwardsville Crossing Dr, Edwardsville, IL 62025. Released by Boxing Clever Publishing, a St. Louis-based creative group, Archibald’s Next Big Thing is the extraordinary adventure of an extra-ordinary chicken named Archibald Strutter as he takes off on a fantastic journey in hopes of finding his next big thing. Through new friends and experiences, the wide-eyed, semi-bald chicken finally discovers that, while looking for the next big thing isn't a bad thing, we should always remember that big and beautiful things are all around us... right now. Regarding the inspiration for the book, Hale said, "The thoughts of an actor aren't very different from Archibald's. I always find myself looking ahead to the next big role, the next big opportunity, obsessed with the question, 'What's next, what's next, what's next?' But embracing and enjoying the present is a message I want both my daughter and myself to remember. Every. Single. Day." The robust book consists of 72
beautifully illustrated pages and is hardcover-bound with dust jacket. The preorder price is $19.99 (plus S+H), $5 off the retail price. Orders begin shipping on August 15th. It is Boxing Clever Publishing’s first book. Tony Hale will embark on a promotional tour to support the
book’s release later in the year and will be available for interviews and book signings. Follow the adventure online at: adventuresofarchibald.com, or via twitter: @ArchibaldsHere. Boxing Clever is a St. Louis, Missouri agency that provides

Music Tuning in GACA's 2014-15 season under way
It seems only a few weeks ago that John Davidson was playing the season finale for the Greater Alton Concert Assocation . The group wrapped up a great 73rd season after being entertained by The Four Freshmen, Double Grande, The Gothard Sisters and The Masters of Motown. The group has announced is lineup for the 2014-2015 74th Season of the GACA. Sunday October 26, 2014 3 p.m. The magic number for us is 52—50 years ago this year the Beatles came to America and changed the Rock & Roll world forever. Two years ago Beatlemania Magic recreated these classic sounds for us on this stage! This Beatles tribute band brings the authentic sounds and looks of the different Beatle “eras”. You can take a trip through the earliest songs such as “She Loves Me” to the later sound of “Sgt. Pepper”, “Let It Be” and “Abbey Road”. This year they played a sold out performance at the Majestic Performing Arts Center in Ohio, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Beatles appearance on Ed Sullivan. Whether or not you missed them the first time, you owe it to yourself to hear Beatlemania Magic this time! www. beatlemaniamagic.com Sunday February 15, 2015, 3 p.m. Al Simmons’ one-man, multiprop, music-filled, off the wall p e r f o r- m a n c e s h a v e e l e v a t e d audiences world-wide to collective giggles and all-out guffaws. Al’s humor touches a responsive chord in peo-ple of every age. While it may be difficult to define this program, the titles of his albums may give you some insight (or not) —“Something’s Fishy at Camp Wiganishis” , “Celery Stalks at Midnight”, and “The Truck I bought From Moe”. Those of you who remember and enjoyed vaudeville will have something to tell your family about. Al’s inspirations were great comedy kings such as Danny Kaye, Spike Jones and Jimmy Durante. Bring your friends, family, and neighbors to an afternoon of comedy with song, dance, magic and sight gags. www.alsimmons. com Saturday March 7, 2015, 7:30 p.m. Returning to us after a three year absence, The Ambassadors of Harmony (AOH) is the St. Louis area's premier men's a cappella chorus of more than 130 voices known for powerful and musically masterful performances.

The chorus has won three gold medals in the Barbershop Harmony Society's international contest, most recently in 2012 in Portland, Ore. AOH has sung for audiences across the United States and has also performed in England, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands and Sweden. This is an evening you won't want to miss! www.aoh.org Sunday April 19, 2015, TBA Do the words “Rat Pack” bring back memories? Names like Dean, Frank, Sammy? If so, you will be thrilled to be here when Dean Christopher takes the stage with his band to bring you favorites like “My Way” and “I’ve Got You Under My Skin”.

Religion briefs Christian leaders urge Obama to address plight of religious minorities
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. and Middle East Christian leaders hope President Obama won't overlook the plight of religious minorities when he tells Americans how he'll respond to the Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria. On the eve of Obama's address to the nation, Cardinal Donald Wuerl welcomed the Middle East's Christian patriarchs to a Washington summit. Nina Shea, director of the Hudson Institute's Center for Religious Freedom, said it's not enough for the U.S. and allied forces to degrade and destroy the Islamic State group. She said President Obama also should address the plight of religious minorities who are being

French imams to use pulpit against Islamic State
PARIS (AP) — French Muslim leaders are urging imams to preach against the Islamic State group and offer a message of support for Christians in the Middle East. Christians there are fleeing the militant organization by the thousands as they face a choice between conversion to Islam or death. On Tuesday, moderate Muslim
leaders called on French mosques nationwide to offer prayers for endangered Christians and send a message to young people that the Islamic State group is neither Muslim nor a state. The rector of Paris' principal mosque said it was crucial to support Christians against barbarity. French young people make up the largest number of European jihadis heading to fight in Syria and Iraq.
Fundamental problems plague Seattle megachurch
S E AT T L E ( A P ) — S e a t t l e megachurch Mars Hill is closing some of its branches and making plans to lay off dozens of employees amid controversy surrounding its lead pastor. The Seattle Times says financial problems in the wake of falling
attendance are forcing the cutbacks. Since 1996, the church has grown quickly to reach 15 branches in five states. Now, Mars Hill leaders say they plan to cut 30 to 40 percent
of a paid staff numbering about 100. These cuts will follow other departures in recent weeks by pastors who say they are angry or uneasy about the church's direction.

Travel Annual festival planned in Versailles For The Edge If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, visitors to the Lake of the Ozarks area's two apple festivals will enjoy twice the benefits - and have lots of fun - at these longtime annual events. Versailles is the home of the Olde Tyme Apple Festival on Oct. 4 and Apple Butter Days will be held Oct. 17-18 at the Camden County Museum in Linn Creek. The City of Versailles is hosting the Olde Tyme Apple Festival for the 35th year in 2014. The festival begins early with the Olde Tyme Apple Festival and Super Senior 5K runs at 7 a.m., followed by the festival's 2-mile walk beginning at 7:15 a.m. and the half-mile Kids Fun Run at 8:15 a.m. By 9 a.m., more than 300 vendors are expected to line the streets around the town square for an arts and crafts fair. Food vendors will offer sweet apple treats like apple dumplings, caramel apples and apple butter, as well as other favorite festival foods. The Fun Zone for kids and the Tractor and Engine display also open at 9 a.m. This year's parade, which begins at 10 a.m., will be a "gas," as floats offer their own take on this year's theme - "Jumpin' and Jivin' to the 1940s." Vendors will be selling all sorts of apple-inspired goodies at the Olde Tyme Apple Festival in Versailles. Entries in the Apple Pie Baking Contest will be auctioned off at noon, offering a delicious souvenir of the festival to the highest bidders. Toes will be tapping as contestants rosin up their bows and play for prizes in the 1 p.m. Olde Tyme Fiddle contest. On Saturday evening, racers will rev their engines in a Compact Figure 8 Race at the Morgan County Fairgrounds on Highway 52. The Royal Theatre's performances of "The Sound of Music" coincide with the festival. The play will begin
nightly at 7 p.m. from Thursday, Oct. 2, through Saturday, Oct. 4, as well as the following weekend, Oct. 9-11. Though the festival officially begins on Saturday morning, the fun begins on Friday evening with the crowning of festival royalty from 5:30-6:30 p.m., the judging of the Apple Pie Baking Contest from 5:307:30 p.m. The evening also features a car cruise at the B & B Drive-in at 6:30 p.m., followed by a sock hop from 7-11 p.m.
An Olde Tyme Apple Festival 3-person scramble golf tournament is scheduled for a noon shotgun start on Sunday, Oct. 5, at Rolling Hills Country Club, located at the junction of Highways 52 and 5. The tournament is open to the public and Rolling Hills will handle pairings for individual golfers. To register for the tournament, contact Rolling Hills at 573-3785109 or go to the club's website at PlayRollingHills.com. Find out more about the festival
by visiting the Versailles Chamber of Commerce website or calling the City of Versailles at 573-378-4401. Fresh, hot apple butter will be available for purchase at Apple Butter Days at the Camden County Historical Museum. Apples are the centerpiece of another Lake of the Ozarks area hometown festival the weekend of Oct. 17-18, as Linn Creek celebrates Apple Butter Days at the Camden County Museum. The festival is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with
local artists and crafters showcasing their creativity in the arts and crafts show each day. Visitors enjoying the vibrant fall colors of the trees in the Lake's hills and valleys will want to add this festival to their itinerary. Apple Butter Days is the ideal place to take a break from "leaf-peeping" to enjoy a warm bowl of soup or chili for lunch, topped off by a slice of apple pie. If one slice is not enough, the hot-from-the-oven apple desserts will be available to take home, by the slice or whole pie. The air will be filled with the scent of apples as apple butter is also prepared on-site. Attendees will be able to buy jars of apple butter while it is still warm from the fire under the big iron kettle where it is cooked. For more information about the festival, call the Camden County Museum at 573-346-7191. The City of Linn Creek will add to the fun that weekend by hosting their citywide garage sale and hosting a dance on Saturday evening. For more information about these activities, call the City of Linn Creek at 573-346-6200.

"Sin City: A Dame to Kill For"
After being clonked over the head in 1944's "Murder, My Sweet," Raymond Chandler's immortal private eye Philip Marlowe wryly narrated the experience of being knocked out: "A black pool opened up at my feet. I jumped in." In "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For," a belated, 3-D sequel to 2005's "Sin City," cultishly-adored graphic novelist Frank Miller and genre-exploiting director Robert Rodriguez have again jumped right into the same dark abyss Dick Powell's Marlowe fell into, into the same noir sea — or, at least, some hyper-stylized version of it. This is hardboiled on heroin. Both "Sin City" movies are double layers of aesthetic idolatry: Miller, famed for his "Dark Knight" reimagining of Batman, worships at the pulp altar of Chandler and Mickey Spillane, while Rodriguez is slavishly devoted to turning Miller's two-dimensional drawings into cinematic flesh. (Miller's name precedes the film's title and he shares directing credit with Rodriguez.) They each approach their tasks with gusto that can only be admired, even if the results can't. Like its predecessor, "A Dame to Kill For" was made with an almost entirely digital palate, placing actors — Mickey Rourke, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jessica Alba, Josh Brolin, Eva Green — on a starkly black-and-white canvas in a fictional (but very Los Angeles-like) permanent-midnight metropolis of rampant crime, extreme brutality and skin-baring luridness. It's described with tough-guy poetry like: "the kind of place your father doesn't want to talk about." RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "strong brutal stylized violence throughout, sexual content, nudity and brief drug use." RUNNING TIME: 101 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.
"Last Days in Vietnam"
There are many differences between America's troubled exit from Iraq and its ramshackle retreat from Vietnam. But the U.S. flight from Saigon as seen in Rory Kennedy's documentary "Last Days in Vietnam" has incredible, unmistakable resonance on the political, ethical and military confusion that occurs when, after years of war, a far-away nation pulls up stakes. These are scenes of a humbled superpower and the terrifying vacuum left behind. South Vietnamese soldiers (allies to the U.S. through years of combat) mobbing the last World Airways flight out of Da Nang as it moves down the runway. Packed refugees crouching around the pool of the U.S. embassy in Saigon. Helicopters being pushed into the ocean so that more could land on a destroyer escort. (The boat, the Kirk, received 17 helicopter loads of refugees.) "It looked like something out of Exodus," remembers an American soldier in the film. The end came two years after a 1973 peace accord, one celebrated with Bloody Marys at the U.S. embassy. But the agreement between President Richard Nixon and the North Vietnamese Army proved empty. After Nixon was impeached, North Vietnam launched a major attack on the South, and streamed down the coast largely unabated. The U.S., tired from the long, aimless war, no longer put up a fight. President Gerald Ford couldn't even get Congress to approve some $700 million in aid, leaving little support for South Vietnam. RATED: Not rated by the Motion Picture Association of America.

RUNNING TIME: 98 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.
"The Longest Week"
In "The Longest Week," Jason Bateman plays a privileged, pampered, narcissistic New Yorker whose sole effort at productivity in life is his meandering work on a novel called "The Directionless Generation." This may be a winking reference to the character himself, who clearly lacks direction, but alas, it's an even more prescient reference to the movie as a whole. There are moments here and there to be enjoyed, mainly for the slick visuals (and wonderfully hip New York apartments), but basically it feels like a directionless enterprise. And though the film is only 86 minutes long, it tends to feel bloated and even a bit tedious by the end — perhaps not an entire generation long, but too long nonetheless. It also feels derivative of other filmmaking styles. Writerdirector Peter Glanz, making his debut feature, is clearly a Woody Allen fan; he uses the same jazzy-type music to accompany his dreamily appealing views of New York City, and he likes psychoanalysis scenes, too. Heck, the first scene has our main character, Conrad, venting to his analyst about his troubles with women, and the analyst is none other than Allen favorite Tony Roberts. Conrad even refers to himself as "Jungian." RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "sexual content and smoking." RUNNING TIME: 86 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.
"The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Them"
"The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Them," All the lonely people. Where do they all belong? You won't hear that line in "The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Them" (more on that title in a moment), a highly absorbing if unwieldy film starring Jessica Chastain and James McAvoy as a couple struggling to cope — apart and together — with tragedy. In fact, you don't hear any of that famous Beatles song. But it doesn't matter, because you'll probably be hearing it in your head. It's also an apt 12-word summary of the broader life issues the movie addresses. We're all alone, essentially, no matter how close we grow to others. We're born alone, we die alone, and in between, we cope alone. No one can cope for us. Not that "Eleanor," written and directed by Ned Benson in his debut feature, is a total downer of a movie. It can't be, with the luminous Chastain and the appealing McAvoy heading an almost ridiculously high-quality cast. "Eleanor" is about messiness, and risk — in life and in love. But it's not all sad. A word about the format, for those coming in cold: "Eleanor" was originally made as a pair of movies, "Her" and "Him," each a full-length film from the point of view of one character, and made to be seen in either order. Then the Weinstein Company decided to make "Them," a more conventional approach, edited from the other two (which will both be released next month.) Some who saw the first versions at festivals have objected that much has been lost. But the rest of us need to judge "Them" on its own merits. And it's an engrossing film. RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America

"for language." RUNNING TIME: 122 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.
"This Is Where I Leave You"
Somebody dies. Family gathers to mourn. Everybody's stuck in one house, with all their quirks and foibles and enough emotional baggage to fill an aircraft carrier. What could go wrong? Ha ha. What couldn't? This scenario could be a drama or a comedy — or, in the case of "This Is Where I Leave You," both: a dramedy. In the best dramedies, of course, laughter and tears alternate seamlessly and gracefully, and you leave both entertained and enlightened. Alas, this isn't that film. Instead, "This Is Where I Leave You," directed by Shawn Levy and adapted from Jonathan Tropper's novel by the author himself, seems to be constantly questioning — or doubting — what it is. Which means that just when it enters into some meaty issues that deserve serious treatment, it gets nervous and falls into forced comedy — or full-on slapstick. Which can get grating. And it's a shame, because the film has an A-list ensemble cast, headed by Jason Bateman and Tina Fey, but also featuring nice work from Jane Fonda, Connie Britton, Adam Driver, Rose Byrne, Corey Stoll, Debra Monk and more. A cast like that deserves an A-list movie; they got maybe a solid B. RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America "for language, sexual content and some drug use." RUNNING TIME: 103 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two and a half stars out of four.
"Tracks"
The movies, it seems, are increasingly headed down paths in the woods, out to open water and, in the case of John Curran's excellent new film "Tracks," into the deepest reaches of the Australian desert. Surely our desire to disconnect, to feel the harshness of nature and the quiet of solitude feeds into the appeal of films like last year's near-wordless sea adventure "All Is Lost" with Robert Redford or the upcoming "Wild," in which Reese Witherspoon hikes the Pacific Coast Trail. But while those movies have their attributes, I'll take "Tracks" for the way it subtly and unsentimentally builds emotionally, step by step, across 1,700 miles. That's the distance traveled by Robyn Davidson ( p l a y e d b y M i a Wa s i k o w s k a ) , w h o s e j o u r n e y w a s chronicled by National Geographic. She then wrote an acclaimed 1980 memoir, "Tracks," about the trip in which she and her dog, Diggity, with four camels in tow, trekked across the Western Australian desert, ending at the Indian Ocean. It's a mad journey that earns her the moniker "Camel Lady" and turned her into a reluctant celebrity. "Tracks" gradually unspools why she's spending half a year alone and in the harshest of conditions, filling in with flashbacks to her mother's suicide and the simultaneous and (to the young Robyn) equally devastating loss of her childhood dog. RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "thematic elements, some partial nudity, disturbing images and brief strong language." RUNNING TIME: 112 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

This photo courtesy of The Weinstein Company shows James McAvoy, left, and Jessica Chastain in a scene from the film, in "The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby."
"Eleanor Rigby" an absorbing film By JOCELYN NOVECK Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — All the lonely people. Where do they all belong? Yo u w o n ' t h e a r t h a t l i n e i n " T h e Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Them" (more on that title in a moment), a highly absorbing if unwieldy film starring Jessica Chastain and James McAvoy as a couple struggling to cope — apart and together — with tragedy. In fact, you don't hear any of that famous Beatles song. But it doesn't matter, because you'll probably be hearing it in your head. It's also an apt 12-word summary of the broader life issues the movie addresses. We're all alone, essentially, no matter how close
we grow to others. We're born alone, we die alone, and in between, we cope alone. No one can cope for us. Not that "Eleanor," written and directed by Ned Benson in his debut feature, is a total downer of a movie. It can't be, with the luminous Chastain and the appealing McAvoy heading an almost ridiculously high-quality cast. "Eleanor" is about messiness, and risk — in life and in love. But it's not all sad. A word about the format, for those coming in cold: "Eleanor" was originally made as a pair of movies, "Her" and "Him," each a full-length film from the point of view of one character, and made to be seen in either order. Then the Weinstein Company decided to
make "Them," a more conventional approach, edited from the other two (which will both be released next month.) Some who saw the first versions at festivals have objected that much has been lost. But the rest of us need to judge "Them" on its own merits. And it's an engrossing film. Chastain plays Eleanor — yes, last name Rigby — an anthropology student who never finished her thesis. McAvoy plays Conor, a young bar owner. We meet them as they're discovering the intoxication of first love. It is indeed intoxicating; Chastain and McAvoy have a lovely chemistry. Cut to an indeterminate time later. Eleanor is pale and troubled. We see her take a desperate act; we don't know why.
The film then follows both Eleanor's route to recovery (we're being intentionally vague here), and Conor's efforts to track her down. We learn that the two are married, and have suffered a grave setback. Either Conor or Eleanor is onscreen at all times. Occasionally, they're together. These scenes are what we wait for: They often crackle with conflicted emotion, and, in one case, deep, unforgettable heartbreak. Chastain's Eleanor is nervous, flitty, on edge, but every so often her smile breaks the melancholy, and it boy, delivers. This movie only cements Chastain's status as one of the most compelling actors of her generation. It's hard to look away from her. And why would you?
"Dolphin Tale 2" doesn't measure up By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge When "Dolphin Tale" was released in 2011 I had never heard of Winter, the now famous bottlenose dolphin living at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium in Florida. The movie was charming and wholesome, good family fun for kids of all ages. There's a new chapter in Winter's story and the fine folks behind the first movie have returned with another installment to tell us all a little about Hope. "Dolphin Tale 2" is sweet alternative to some of the louder and more garish kid-friendly releases so far this year. Winter is a lucky girl, having lost her tail fluke in a fisherman's net and learning to swim again thanks
to a prosthetic attachment designed by some loving humans like her bro, Sawyer (Nathan Gamble), and the formidable Dr. McCarthy (Morgan Freeman). This sequel really tells more of a story about the whole team behind her inspirational rescue and the other creatures and the aquarium with her. In this case, it goes into great detail about the 2014 incident in which Winter's surrogate mother, Panama, dies from a respiratory ailment caused by her old age. She was forty in Dolphin Years. Per FDA mandate, all captive bottlenose dolphin females must be paired together, a necessity for their species. Without Panama, Clearwater is faced with the possibility of losing their other star attraction and dear friend for good. Instead, we get to see her
integrated into an environment with Hope, a tiny juvenile rescued from a lagoon where she'd become trapped before learning to forage from her mother. Concurrently, Sawyer is faced with the proposition of leaving Florida for a summer afloat with a Boston university's semester at sea. The whole thing will bring a tear to your eye, even if it is a tad predictable. Real life stuff is often magical. Side stories to parallel the Ballad of Winter & Hope include the rehabilitation of Mandy, a sunburned dolphin, and the release of Mavis, a green sea turtle that was found wrapped up in fishing tackle just near the marina. Mavis is quickly befriended by Rufus, the weirdo pelican that acts just like most pelicans I've ever heard of. The
plight of Dr. Clay Haskett (Harry Connick, Jr.), his daughter, Hazel (Cozi Zuehlsdorff), and the other fine staff at CMA is a substantial set of source material for these films. Writer/director Charles Martin Smith is actively generating ideas for a third film and to me this feels important for the future success of live action children's movies that don't pander to toilet humor or fantasy. The underwater photography is fun, too, even if the movie wasn't filmed for the 3D format. And for all you movie fans out there, know that this picture does find a way to worm in a superfluous scene of dialogue between Morgan Freeman and co-star Ashley Judd, who plays Sawyer's mom, who appear here in their fifth movie

together. The surprise release of the home invasion thriller "No Good Deedstormed into the box office this weekend and took over the #1 slot from the year's most successful film, Marvel's comic comedy "Guardians of the Galaxy." I credit the fine casting of the fine looking Taraji P. Henson and Idris Elba for that. Next week's openings of YA thriller "The Maze Runner" and "My Old Lady," which features a trio of Oscar nominees/ winners, should offer more than a little to enjoy by all audiences. I'm eagerly awaiting both. "Dolphin Tale 2" runs 105 minutes and is rated PG for some mild thematic elements. I give this film one and a half stars out of four.
