LEGISLATION
Heat part of the new winter forecast
By Eric Aasen KERA News
The new year brought a new law that’s generated a lot of heat in Texas — the open carry of handguns. Here's a look at what open carry means for Texas. 1. There’s lots of confusion out there about open carry — what exactly is it? In Texas, you can now openly carry a handgun — in a hip or shoulder holster. You don’t need to conceal a gun like you did in the past. Gov. Greg Abbott signed the open carry bill into law in June. In Texas, in order to openly carry a gun, you have to have a handgun license. You have to be at least 21. You have to have a clean criminal and psychological record. You also have to complete classroom training and pass a shooting test. About 925,000 Texans have concealed handgun licenses — that’s about 3 percent of the population. 2. You can't carry a gun anywhere you want.

Chorale brings new tradition to Dallas theater
By Shari Goldstein Stern shari@katytrailweekly.com
When the award-winning Turtle Creek Chorale (TCC) collaborated with Uptown Players (UP) on their unique production of “Ragtime” in 2013, a new entertainment genre was born in Dallas. Following that production’s success, their 2014 partnership of “Sweeney Todd,” could have been Yenta’s match made in heaven. This year, the two legendary troupes will join forces again for three performances only of their concert version of Elton John and Tim Rice’s “Aida,” Jan. 15-17. With the capable direction of Ann Nieman, Kevin Gunter will conduct music, with assistance from TCC’s Artistic Director Sean Baugh. UP and the Chorale will perform with a combined cast of more than 100 gifted
actors and singers for this concert version of the award-winning musical, the John and Rice transformation from the classic opera by the same name. “Aida” is a contemporized version of an epic tale. Conflict between Egypt and Nubia gives birth to a star-crossed love affair between Aida, the captured princess of Nubia, and Radames, the Egyptian captain who enslaved her people. With love and responsibility at odds, Aida and Radames must decide whether to follow their hearts or lead their people. For history’s sake, the origin of “Aida” should be noted. Written by Giuseppe Verdi, the Italian opera “Aida” was first performed in 1871 at Khedivial Opera House in Cairo, Egypt. Verdi withdrew, and Giovanni Bottesini stepped in as conductor.

Hunting is part of the new wave By Naima Montacer @naimajeannette
I was out hiking at one of our favorite spots with my nephews last weekend when we came across a deer stand and multiple piles of corn. At five years old, one of my nephews is super curious about everything, obviously leading to 100 questions regarding the “tree fort.” I didn’t even know hunting was allowed in this public park close to Dallas, so I struggled to answer many of his questions. Turns out, Jan. Naima Montacer 3 was the last day for open season (bow only in this area), with an extension for youth until the Jan. 17. I may have been thrown off by a tree stand in the park, but I was reminded of how much has changed in “hunting” and how we often forget the impact the meat on our plate has on the environment. The Merriam-Webster definition of hunting is “the activity or sport of chasing and killing wild animals.” In the corn piles placed right underneath the tree stand, it just didn’t remind me of what true “hunting” is. But this is how it’s done pretty much everywhere. After eradicating deer predators, killing off mountain lions and wolves, from Texas in the mid 1900s, we are left with an overabundance of deer. The way we manage our deer populations now is hunting to keep numbers at a viable level that doesn’t destroy their habitat. It’s an orchestrated management plan, but it works. Most hunters eat their meat, getting a more natural product than what we buy wrapped in plastic wrap in the grocery stores. Most beef in stores comes from a feed lot where animals are kept in a confined space, causing great environmental impacts. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates a single dairy cow produces 120 pounds of manure per day. When animals are housed in small spaces, this waste, if not properly disposed of or utilized, pollutes our groundwater and can lead to harmful algae blooms in our water bodies. Air quality is effected by decomposing animal waste and other pollutants from feed lot farming. If you take into account the entire life cycle process of harvesting the steak on your plate or cheese on your pizza, you also have to consider the habitat destroyed, water and chemicals used to produce the feed grain (mainly corn), and water and energy used to process the finished products. Seventy percent of grains grown in the U.S. are fed to farmed animals. Hunting deer requires resources as well, yet pales in comparison to feed lot beef. There is however, another option, farmers that are raising beef in organic sustainable conditions. I visited a few grocery stores in the Dallas area to determine the best place to find high quality sustainable beef. My first choice is Whole Foods. There selection of grass fed organic beef and knowledge of the butcher, was the highest out see HUNTING on page 8 OUR MISSION

Panthers, Chiefs in parity bowl
By David Mullen
david@katytrailweekly.com This has been one strange NFL season. As we analyze the playoffs and make our predictions, the best teams may be those with the worst records or at least worse seeding. The hottest team in the NFL had a five game losing streak. No team comes in completely healthy, having to rely on backups in key positions. Pete Roselle finally got what he wanted. The former (and now deceased) NFL commissioner fought for NFL parity, and he got it. He forced expansion and teams to move to a different league and he got league parity. No year is more evident than this season, where teams with better records are forced to play lesser teams on the road in the playoffs. Considering that prior to the season I chose the Indianapolis Colts to make the Super Bowl and instead they didn’t even make the playoffs due to a rash of injuries, let’s look at how the 2015-16 postseason will turn out. It appears on paper, and if you trust the soPhoto courtesy of NFL called “eye test,” that the better playoff teams are actually lower seeds, meaning they all must play on Quarterback Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers. the road.

ORDER OF CHRISTIAN WORKER
Offering food, shelter and medical support for the needy; regardless of religion, class, or economic circumstance.
By Sally Blanton
families. This gigantic event takes three months each year to prepare, and we receive donations from folks all around the country...and it is held in a large church in Tyler Texas.
sallyblanton455@gmail.com Each week, Katy Trail Weekly will feature a charity that is doing remarkable work in Dallas, a city known for philanthropy and generosity.
QW hat is your mission or highest purpose? Q H ow did such a large event evolve? A T o seek ways to serve those in our world who are most in need of help and community, regardless of their religion or social class, national origin, or economic circumstances. For those, the need may be food or shelter or medical support or simply a place in community support. In many cases, the greatest need may be to help children (especially the poorest of the poor) and their families. Father Tom Jackson founded the Order of Christian Workers in 1990.
A I t started in 1993 with 16 kids who were
living with HIV/AIDS...kids who were looking at virtually no Christmas celebration, including gifts. So we made a plan: to have a great party and to give "Santa gifts" to ALL children who attend the party and to provide the parents with the means to choose a complete Christmas (new clothing, shoes, toys) for their home celebration, allowing these families to maintain their own tradition of Christmas. So it's been an amazing process...churches, schools, businesses, civic groups, and LOTS of individuals from all over the country...and it's just become this glorious, breathtaking event each year.
Q How many people are served each year?
A I n any given year, we encounter hun-
dreds of adults and children in varying circumstances—and we either deal with those circumstances as best we can, or direct them to specific sister-agencies, which may offer the appropriate help.
QW hat percentage amount actually reaches those in need?
A I n terms of finances (donations), 100 percent goes directly to the needs of the people, as none of our workers and/or volunteers and/ or board members receives any sort of financial payment—in other words, everyone involved in the work is a volunteer.
Q D o you hold benefit events?
A We don’t do any “fundraising” — we al-
ways inform folks of major needs/events, then “beg” for contributions...and then use whatever is offered. The largest single event annually is the Annual Children’s Christmas Party on December 12. We served 631 children (very poor children, ages infants to 15-year-olds) and their
QW hat do you think is the most important thing you do for the community? Listen...care...respond.
A
QW hat is rewarding about your job?
A Community...and seeing improvements
in peoples’ circumstances...watching children grow over the years...accepting that we can only do what is possible.
Q S uppose your non-profit received a
$20,000 check in the mail today… where would it immediately be put to good use That gift would be put in the Order’s Reserve Fund; the volunteers and the Board of Trustees would continually discuss both the present and future needs, and then use whatever is available. That process has seemed to work well over the past 26 years.

The big picture on nutrition
The coming week will see the great majority of individuals — if not everyone at some point — desiring time away from it all. The reasons may be varied, but the result will be the same: Many will seek any way possible to enjoy quiet solitude as often as possible. Of course, it is not practical for everyone to avoid the company of others all week long; were that to happen, very little would be accomplished, and the world might indeed stop turning! Everyone must therefore be willing to compromise and accept the fact that, at times, it will be absolutely essential to work or play well with others, maintaining a routine level of work and accomplishment. What's the key, then? Balance! Alternating periods of work and rest can be just what the doctor ordered. That which is cut and dried will be favored by most; few will want to wade through any sort of discovery process in order to get the answers they need. The simple reigns supreme, and the complex — or, rather, the unnecessarily complex — is best shunned whenever possible.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) You may have become a target of sorts, so you must employ greater care than usual, especially if travel is in the picture. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) — Something that is little known to you as the week opens will be very familiar to you as it closes. Keep up with developments! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) You may be called upon to explain your actions, but when you make clear both your motives and methods, all will be well. (March 6-March 20) — You should be able to keep things moving at a steady pace without applying yourself any more than usual, but avoid complacency! ARIES (March 21-April 4) An argument over labels and terminology is likely to spiral out of control if you're not careful to make things clear to opponents as well as allies. (April 5-April 19) — You can embrace something new and smooth your way, or you can fight against what you do not know. The choice is yours. TAURUS (April 20-May 5) Keep your eyes and ears open. Someone may be trying to ambush you in some way, but his or her reasons are unclear. (May 6-May 20)
— Any attempt at keeping a secret is likely to backfire; you'll want everything to be out in the open. GEMINI (May 21-June 6) What appears favorable as the week opens may actually turn against you if you do nothing to keep your friends close — and informed. (June 7-June 20) — You can avoid humiliation by being open, honest and courteous with all who seek your attention. CANCER (June 21-July 7) You may have to do something that goes against your beliefs in order to promote a long-term effort that is completely heartfelt. (July 8-July 22) — You can make a deal with someone who is usually not willing to compromise. Your ability to spot the truth pays off. LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) You may be able to control things from behind the scenes, but someone is in on a secret that can weaken your position if revealed. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) — A genuine connection can be forged, but it will take time — and some careful negotiation. The results may surprise you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) You can expand your

they have branched out to make artisanal wines like Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Mourverde and Firebrix Dessert Wine. Many of the wines have won awards in competitions. Their wines retail from $22 to $55 per bottle. They are also available at local restaurants like Parigi, Nova and Boulevardier. While some bottles are shipped out of state, the wines are exclusive to North Texas on and off premise. “We make eight or nine reds,” Richardson said. “That is really our specialty.” Currently, they average 800 to 1,000 cases per year. The best way to buy the wine may be through their “Wine Thief Club,” where members get three shipments per year of new releases for less than $100 plus tax, plus additional discounts on current selections. “The wine club is great,” Richardson said. “It is the best deal in the wine business.” For more information, go to Oakcliffcellars.com. Despite his efforts in helping the less fortunate, Richardson is dedicated to building a long term wine brand. “I am really focused on getting the winery sustainable and producing very high quality wines,” Richardson said.

A friend or loved one is willing to promote an idea that is just now ready to be shared. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) What you do on your own can provide you with a great deal of confidence and comfort, but be careful not to skip a step.

the origins of Turtle Creek, with two Canadians “oohing and ahhing” over the fact that you could live in very upscale University Park in a totally contemporary home and still have a Canadian lake-like experience, even a mini one. The house is 7,159 square feet on .43 of an acre. There are six bedrooms, six and one half bathrooms, and a three bay garage. The home was completed in 2014 and is a masterpiece of construction: standing seam roof, pier and beam, SWD foam insulation, seven zones, 17 SEER, tankless hot water, engineered for an elevator. I love the builder, Tatum Brown Custom Homes, one of our vetted CandysDirt.com home builders extraordinaire.
I have known Mark Danuser since he started building homes in Dallas, but he really, really outdid himself on this property. You enter through a very glassy foyer, and the formal living room is to your right with beautiful beams and a breathtaking view … the fountain of water. A huge Pella metal framed French door takes you out to the cantilevered deck overlooking the water. The floors are three and one-quarter inch white oak select hardwood. Virginia, we are not in Dallas anymore! This is the piece de resistance: an on-the-water experience in your home 24/7. It’s a lake home in your main home.
HAMMER AND NAILS
Jillian and Todd LOVED this, and they were blown away by the family room with the wet bar and walk-in conditioned wine room just behind it. The dining room is surrounded on three sides by floor-to-ceiling windows. The floor-to-ceiling windows and doors bring the tranquility of the water views, abundant landscape and ample natural light inside, while still bidding a sense of privacy due to the well-plotted siting of the home on the choice UP lot. The kitchen is sheer perfection, and Todd was snapping away, from the sheaths of thick Calacatta Crema marble counters to the Ann Sacks glass tiles and backsplash behind the stove. We also stepped out to another back patio off the kitchen where outdoor cooking could take place if the 6 burner Wolf dual fuel was not enough. Then it was upstairs to five of the six bedrooms: Todd
really loved the master with the soaring re-claimed wood ceiling beams, but Jillian almost refused to move out of the totally spalike master bath. Both approved of the huge shower and the vessel tub which we discussed pros and cons of at length. We perused the other rooms, explained the upstairs laundry room (Todd said upstairs laundries are popular in Canada, too) and took a break to admire the roofline in the upstairs sitting area. Listed with Jonathan Rosen, (the listing expired on 12/31), this Tatum Brown pride and joy was listed for $4,695,000. Probably will be again. Todd could not believe that it had been on the market for more than 30 days. “This home is a Canadian’s dream,” he told us, “and the price — well, you get a Dallas palace compared to what your dollars would buy in Canada!” You sure won’t get a Dallas Palace on the water!

The downs and ups of lighting By Stephan Sardone
Stephan@sardoneconstruction.com When Christmas lights come down, what goes up? I’m here to tell you that you have options. Outdoor lighting serves many purposes. Not only does it highlight the unique aspects of your home, but it can act as a stylish deterrent of trespassers. With some Do-It-Yourself Stephan Sardone knowledge, you can give your home an illusion of depth, while feeling safe. Your yard might be impressive, landscaped by professionals and sculpted to a precise vision, but it can only be appreciated until the sun sets. Not to worry, the show doesn’t have to end there. You can apply lowvoltage and inexpensive lighting methods to highlight the distinctive angles of your home, whether it be stone walls, columns or your front porch. First, it is always wise to make sure that all main entrances to your home are well-lit. These are the spots in which you fumble over your keys and unlock that pesky lock. The crucial moments when you can’t use your phone as a flashlight because you need both hands. A simple way to ensure that you always have a lit entrance is to buy a strip of LED rope lighting, staple it along the ceiling of your porch, and plug it directly into an outlet. This way, it’s hidden but makes your porch glow. You can also put on a dimmer switch to adjust the brightness according to your taste. We are in the age of the smartphone, which opens up a whole new world of convenience for us. This includes apps like Sentri and products by Philips Hue, which can control the lighting in and around your home from the palm of your hand. Instead of having to wait until you’re already at the door to turn on the light, you can have the light waiting for you. Along the line of safety, any dark corners or spots
hidden in shadows should also be lit up. You can buy motion sensitive lights from Home Depot that run on batteries and install them in those dark areas of your house and yard. Setting your lights on timers also helps when you’ve forgotten to leave your porch light on. and you’re late getting home. As a tip, if you’re looking for a more subtle method of lighting, you might prefer lanterns with frosted lenses rather than clear glass. Reflected light is a great compromise, as direct light might not always have the appeal you’re looking for. A dark pathway is an accident waiting to happen. It doesn’t take much to install staggered lighting along the sidewalk, such as ground-hugging bollard lights, mushroom lights or shaded tier lights. Make sure not to waste that tall Oak or Magnolia tree by the curb. Installing downlights in a few trees provides a safety precaution and a delicate chandelier effect. The shadows form an attractive pattern while also giving the illusion of moonlight. Uplighting serves a similar purpose, as the light gives the tree depth and illuminates a nearby dark zone. If you have a garden you’d like to show off after dark, run an underground electrical line into the garden to power an outdoor light. Solar lights, which are often used along sidewalks and gardens, are also easy to install with an added plus of being eco-friendly. Other yard accessories can be used as hosts of light, such as concrete or iron raised planter boxes, and you can use recessed well lights with swivel heads to aim at the object of attention. So just because the festive lights are coming down, doesn’t mean you have to lose the spirit. There are many easy ways to execute creative lighting, whether it be DIY or hiring an electrician to check your work or do it for you. Showing off your home in a unique way is showing ingenuity and also heightens the aesthetic value of your home, making it just as warm on the outside as it is on the inside.

ban guns — but they have to post signs. 3. Why is open carry so controversial? Some are uncomfortable with the idea of going into a store and seeing someone carrying gun in a holster out in the open — they find it upsetting. Opponents say it will also be tougher for police to spot criminals. Supporters of open carry say that the opponents are overreacting, and that not much will change. They note that most other states already allow open carry. Texas is the 45th state. On Sunday, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick spoke on NBC’s “Meet The Press,” and he said the new law won’t create a panic in Texas. “This is just propaganda by those who either don’t like guns or who are afraid of guns,” Patrick said. “I respect some people don’t like them, but don’t stop us who love guns, who love the Second Amendment, from being able to protect ourselves, our families, our businesses and our friends.” 4. Where do
businesses stand on open carry in Texas? Several businesses are banning open carry — the list includes Whataburger, as well as Whole Foods, Torchy’s Tacos and HEB, the grocery store chain. Other businesses are allowing open carry — those places include Kroger and Home Depot. Some places are allowing guns in stores, but only if the guns are concealed — including HEB. Then there’s a popular barbecue joint in the Houston suburbs — Brooks Place — that’s offering a 10 percent discount to customers who openly carry guns. A coupon on its website states: “Thank you for carrying your gun today.” 5. How have cities and police departments been getting ready for open carry? Cities and police departments are trying to get word out — several across the state have posted public service announcement videos on YouTube. Police departments across the state have spent the past few months training officers on the new law.
The city of Dallas trained its 311 and 911 call-takers on the new laws so they can answer questions from callers. 6. How are schools preparing? Dallas ISD has posted a note on its website reminding folks that it remains illegal to bring a firearm onto school property. Dallas ISD has posted a video on YouTube that features Craig Miller, the school district’s chief of police. He said there will be new signs on schools this week that state licensed gun holders still cannot enter a school with a firearm. “There’s going to be some signs that talk about open carry," Miller said in the video. “For people who are watching this video, the most important thing to know is you still can’t take a gun into a school, a teacher can’t take a gun into school, a staff, a student, no one can come into a school even if you have a CHL license.” The Dallas school district also notes it remains illegal for a licensed gun holder to bring a firearm to school functions, including sporting events and field trips.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK
Rouladen-Style Short Ribs The pickles may seem strange, but they really define this classic German preparation. The long cooking time mellows out their pungency and gives them a whole new flavor. 8 short ribs (about 4 pounds) 1/4 cup flour 2 tablespoons oil 2 onions, sliced 2 cups shredded carrots 1/2 cup sliced dill or garlic pickles 1 cup dry red wine 2/3 cup whole-grain mustard
Salt and pepper to taste Season the ribs with salt and pepper, then dust them lightly with flour. Heat the oil in a skillet and brown the ribs on all sides. Spread the onions to cover the bottom of a slow cooker. Add the ribs, then top with the carrots and pickles. Stir together the wine and mustard and pour over. Cook on high for 6 hours or low for 8 hours. Recipe and Photo by Sara Newberry

MOVIE TRAILER
‘The Revenant’ is hearty with little heart
team was able to find a place on earth (that mostly being Alberta, Canada and Tierra del Fuego, Argentina) that remains this untouched is remarkable, which may have led to the Terence Malicklike over-filming of running water or wind blowing through trees. Hugh Glass (DiCaprio) is a tracker leading a group of fur trappers, one of which is his half-white half-Pawnee Indian son Hawk (Forrest Goodluck), through this unruly terrain. After narrowly escaping a raid from natives, the trappers are forced to abandon their original plans to return home via boat. This takes the group, led by Andrew Henry (Domhall Gleeson), deep into the forest in an effort to escape their attackers. While scouting alone, Glass sits down to take a load off and, in one of the most terrifying sequences put to film, is attacked by a momma bear, seemingly protecting her cubs. The visceral Photos courtesy of 20th Century Fox brutality of what seems like Leonardo DiCaprio plays Hugh Glass in Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritus' "The Revenant." an hour of mauling is not for the squeamish.

One could say that that trans(Tom Hardy). unmatched, but the disturbing and oftentimes lated to the finished product as this two hour At this point, “The Revenant” is doing boring story makes “The Revenant” much ado great and, if nothing more, is an intense and thirty-six minute western, and a high art about nothing. version of torture porn. Animals are eviscerthriller with layers of sociopolitical overtones The opening scene of “The Revenant” imated, natives scalp invaders on their lands, and involving the white poachers and Native mediately puts every viewer in the American all this is done as Leonardo DiCaprio’s Hugh Americans. There are good white guys, evil wilderness of the 1820s. The fact that Inarritu’s white guys, good natives, and bad natives. Glass takes beating after beating. CHORALE cont'd from page 1 “Aida” has been sung more than 1,100 times since 1886. The musical opened on Broadway in 2000. It was nominated for five Tony Awards and won four, including Best Musical Score and Best Performance by a Leading Actress, Heather Hedley. It also won a Drama Desk Award and a Grammy for the Best Musical Show Album. The production played almost 2,000 performances at Broadway’s Palace Theatre, closing in 2014. A familiar song from “Aida,” “Written in the Stars,” was recorded and sung by Elton John and LeAnn Rimes and reached No. 2 in the Billboard U.S. adult contemporary music charts. That piece alone should provide a moment. It’s sure to show off the versatile talent of UP and magnificent vocals of the Chorale. The first national tour was nominated for nine National Broadway Theatre awards (now “Touring Broadway Awards”) and won
five, including Best Musical, Best Direction, Best Actor, and Best Actress. That tour had a successful 2001 run at Dallas Summer Musicals. The principal cast will be Feleceia Benton as Aida, Grace Neeley as Amneris, Kyle Igneczi as Radames, Alex Heika as Mereb, and Jonathan Bragg as Zoser. This staged concert of a musical style is common, with the New York Encore series, which has been around for years. Irving’s Lyric Stage has produced a version of the same. But when you combine the talent of these two theatrical Dallas icons, you can count on the best from Uptown Players and from Turtle Creek Chorale, amounting to an exceptional evening of theater. “Aida” runs for one weekend only, Jan. 15 through 17, with shows at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday. Performances are at the Dallas City Performance Hall, 2520 Flora St., Dallas, 75201. For tickets and information, visit uptownplayers.org or call 214-219-2718.
HUNTING cont'd from page 2 of the four grocery stores I visited. The cost may be higher for higher quality meat, but if you factor in the entire process and environmental impacts, it’s a steal. There’s also another extension of hunting. The annual Dallas Safari Club Convention is this Jan. 7-10, right here in downtown Dallas. The Club has faced backlash after auctioning off a chance to bring home an endangered species trophy two years ago. This year, the big auction item will be an opportunity to dart a white rhinoceros, and take home a picture, not its head. There will still be several opportunities for hunters to bid on trophy hunts. There is a grey area between hunting for food, sport, trophies and conservation. The management and survival of each species is dependent on a variety of factors from reproduction success, diet availability and most important habitat available. Our world population is on a continual upward trend, leaving less uninterrupted habitat for wildlife. In my eyes, that’s the fight we should be fighting, preserve the habitat there is now, build our urban spaces up not out, and find and protect more land for wildlife. No matter what your views are on hunting, it’s a complicated space deserving of much thought, research and investigation. I only hope everyone can be as curious and ask as many questions as a five-year-old. Naima Montacer is a freelance writer and conservationist. View more at her website EnviroAdventures.com.
HABIT cont'd from page 3 Fit Body Family for a reason, and that reason is that we treat each like family and always lift each other up. No one wants to see you fail, only rocket into success. Be positive. This one may seem obvious, but it’s a very important factor in your success going forward here. Listen, you’re going to slip up. It takes a while to break a habit, and you’re going to have small moments of weakness. The important thing here is that you don’t focus on these slip-ups. You need to recognize the mistake you’ve made, figure out how you are going to avoid doing it again, and keep going. Make yourself a deal that in the first week you’ll allow yourself five slipups and then reduce the amount from there. If you can visualize yourself in the future,
Then it becomes nothing more than watching DiCaprio endure pain while turning “The Revenant” into nothing more than a revenge flick. He drags himself through dirt, sleeps covered in snow, risks hypothermia during an escape in freezing water, and, in one of the more sickening moments in recent movie history, does unspeakable things to a horse. Of course, this is all done in the name of survival. The problem with “The Revenant” is Glass isn’t driven by the human spirit, he’s moved only by the desire for payback. If this movie was crafted by anyone other than Inarritu and Lubezki, it would be unwatchable. There are shots in “The Revenant” that literally can take your breath away. It’s a virtual shoo-in for the Best Cinematography Oscar and it naturally has several one-take sequences that you’d expect from the InarrituLubezki team. If this is the movie in which Leonardo DiCaprio is finally awarded a Best Actor Oscar, it feels like it would be based on career achievement. While there is little doubt that he threw himself into the physicality of the role, there’s little acting involved. DiCaprio barely speaks throughout the film and does nothing to emotionally hook in the viewer. Tom Hardy grumbles and growls to the extent that his Bane in “The Dark Knight Rises” may be easier to understand. Hardy’s Fitzgerald is the only clear-cut villain in “The Revenant” and his actions alone make him hatable, but there is inexplicably more character development with him than DiCaprio’s Glass. “The Revenant” is a maddening film. The technical moviemaking behind it is indescribable. Everything down to the direction, photography, editing, sound, and score is perfection created by artists at the height of their powers. This movie will be studied by film students and critics for years to come, while boring the movie going public to pieces. Sadly, “The Revenant” is as ice cold as the climate in which it takes place, as that very same team of artists forgot one extremely important detail: heart.
then you can accomplish your goal of breaking these bad habits you’re holding on to. Imagine yourself walking away from the unhealthy food and going into some squats instead. It’s as easy as imagining it and keeping a positive attitude. Besides, remember how we said you need to surround yourself with positive influences? That includes you! Being negative won’t help you accomplish your goals. It will make you stressed and most likely the reason you fall back on these bad habits is because you use them to cope with less than ideal situations. Get rid of triggers. Speaking of which, you need to figure out what it is that keeps pushing you back to that bad thing you can’t escape. Do you have a hard time sleeping through the night, so you turn to comfort food because you’re bored and tired? Do you find yourself sitting on the couch for long periods of time because the idea of that
job interview makes you stressed and you need a good laugh from cat videos? If you can identify what it is that’s causing you stress, then you can work towards eliminating those things from your life. Insomnia is something you should speak to a doctor about, for example, as the doctor could help you with a sleep schedule that won’t push you back to the pantry in the middle of the night. Find the source of stress in your life and target it. Remove it from your daily activities, and bring as much positivity as you can into your day. If you can do that, then replacing those bad habits with the good ones will be much easier to accomplish.
