Dallas had a voice in the 2018 FIFA World Cup
By David Mullen
david@katytrailweekly.com While the U.S. was not among the 32 teams that competed in the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, which culminated in a 4-2 victory by France over Croatia on July 15, Dallas was well represented by a familiar voice on the local radio and television scene for more than two decades. Mark Followill was one of the play-by-play voices on World Cup coverage on Fox Sports. But that didn’t mean he made it to Red Square. “It is something that happens fairly frequently in soccer,” Followill, 47, said, “where announcers are often offsite, because of the global nature of the game. In my particular case, I am used to it, having done it with other events on Fox that took place overseas. It was not the type of scenario that I was walking into without a great deal of familiarity.” Soccer is also not new to Followill. He has called games for Fox Sports’ coverage of the Copa America Centenario, CONCACAF Gold Cup, UEFA Europa League, Major League Soccer, FIFA U-17 World Cup and the FIFA U-20 World Cup. He also called men's and women's soccer

If you can catch your breath from laughing, “Oy, Vey” is what you want to scream when Brad Zimmerman is onstage giving his outrageous performance of “My Son the Waiter: a Jewish Tragedy.” Running at the Eisemann Center for the Performing Arts through Sunday, July 29, “My Son the Waiter: A Jewish Tragedy” is 80 minutes of pure, crazy fun and Kenehora. And you don’t have to be Jewish to appreciate the humor. We all have the joy of having a mother at some point, right? Most mothers kvel over their children. Don’t they? However, if you happen to be Jewish, you will plotz over how close to home this show resonates. It was apparent in the first five minutes of Saturday’s matinee that Zimmerman had captured hearts and connected with his audience’s sense of humor. Just about everyone can relate to the content and the wit. Kids under 18 probably can’t. His delivery is so authentic. You could be the guy standing next to him on a too-crowded elevator or his best friend (the late William Joseph) while schmoozing over plain, black coffee at Starbuck’s or his first — and final date with his Mother’s hair stylist’s niece, you’re going to be happier than before you arrived.

OPINION
evening of July 9,” a breaking news email stated, “Dallas Fire-Rescue reported that units responded to a 911 call for a swift water rescue after a 65-year-old homeless man was swept into a storm drain, by rapidly rising waters, near the intersection of West Northwest Highway and Vantex Drive in Northwest Dallas. Firefighters searched the area by land, water and air, until, just over an hour later, the man was found alive and well, a short distance away, at the 11000 block of Shady Trail, near the intersection of Walnut Hill Lane.
Despite his age, and everything he had just been through, the man was uninjured and refused to be taken to the hospital.”... I am not making light of the homeless situation, but I just don’t think that we are doing enough. It seems to be reaching epidemic proportions, and I wonder if we are doing enough. Not that the plight doesn’t come with issues. San Francisco recently lost a 15,000-person medical convention. The unsafe condition of streets prompted by the homeless situation was the reason cited.

Defending tasty lone star cuisine Companies going meatless, banning straws
By Joe Ruzicka
joe.c.ruzicka@gmail.com Folks in Texas get defensive with their food, particularly food that is quintessentially Texan. Like Colonel Joe Ruzicka William Travis at the Alamo, Texans draw a line in the sand when it comes to food that is inherently Texan. Of course, it’s hard to compare defending Texas food to defending the Alamo, but Texas is the only place where you can get authentic versions of barbecue, Tex-Mex and chili. And Texans want you to know about that. Food has become a defining characteristic of the Lone Star State, and Texas has its share of cuisine that has come to be known as a strictly “Texas” food. Many think of chili as a staple in the Texas diet and they are probably correct. In fact, the Texas Legislature designated chili as the official state dish of Texas in 1977. The Legislature also dutifully noted the “only real 'bowl of red' is that prepared by Texans.” Former President and Texas born Lyndon Johnson was a big Texas chili lover and seemed to agree. As with most things coming from LBJ, he did not hold back about his thoughts on chili from somewhere else. "Chili concocted outside of Texas is usually a weak, apologetic imitation of the real thing,” Johnson quipped. Chances are he must have had some fake chili with beans in it and it was probably from somewhere like Cincinnati or Milwaukee. Which brings us to our next famous Texas food: barbecue. If you are from North Carolina, Tennessee or even Kansas, you might think your home state has the best barbecue. Unfortunately, and we hate to tell you this because we are friendly here in Texas, but bless your heart. The fact remains

that Texas barbecue separates itself from all the other states’ versions. Without being too much of a stereotypical Texan bragger, our Texas barbecue brisket is potentially life changing. Typically slow cooked over a combination of pecan or mesquite wood, Texas barbecue becomes so tender that it falls off the bone. Spices consist of only a simple mixture of salt and pepper. Most importantly, nobody puts sauce on their Texas barbecue, unless you want to be looked at funny. The one exception is to have sauce on the side, but that requires you also have a slice of Mrs. Baird’s white bread to go with it. Finally, there is what we call Mexican food also known as Tex-Mex. Non-Texans probably find this the most confusing cuisine of all the Texas-based foods because they compare it to their hometown Mexican food. But Tex-Mex is truly only found here. Those from California think tacos should have fish in them and are served alongside black beans. If you are from Ohio, Chili’s quesadillas are sadly the closest thing you will get to compare to what is served at Mia’s on Lemmon Avenue And from the “you can’t make this up department,” Mexican food restaurants in New York City such as Toloache serve sides of plantains and fried brussel sprouts with the main course. Sorry, but that deserves a harrumph. So if you are new to Texas or are simply curious about what the fuss is all about, head to the Katy Trail Ice House for a bowl of chili and an ice cold beer. Or make your way to Mike Anderson’s BBQ on Harry Hines before noon as he may run out of brisket. When it comes to defending Tex-Mex, remember the Taco! And the fact that you can eat tacos for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Genius. Joe Ruzicka is a retired Naval Aviator and F-14 Tomcat RIO.

Mull cont'd from page 1 from FIFA. The entire world is getting the same feed, basically, just with different graphics and announcers. They gave us everything we needed to do a successful broadcast. “I can’t stress enough what the announcers go through, and I am proud to be associated with that group,” Followill said. “But I also can’t stress enough the directors, producers and technical staff that had been making multiple trips to Russia over the last three years building up to the games. There are a lot of people that don’t get mentioned. The amount of work and dedication people put into it — with long hours, sleep deprivation and basically giving up their life — it was a great privilege to be associated with that group at Fox.” Paired with analyst Warren Barton, Followill called nine World Cup games, including eight in the group stage and one knockout stage game. The broadcast quality was outstanding. You would never have known that Followill wasn’t in the stadium. “It was a great thrill to call a knockout stage game between Croatia and Denmark,” Followill said, “which went all the way to penalties and ended up being the third highest rated game of the World Cup. Also Brazil versus Costa Rica was fun, when Philippe Coutinho and Neymar scored in stoppage time to win it. Spain versus Morocco was a match with great atmosphere and some drama to it as well.” Followill is currently preparing for the college football season, providing play-by-play for Big 12, Big 10 and Conference USA football games for Fox Sports. He has been a longtime contributor to SportsRadio 1310 The Ticket since the station's beginning in 1994. Followill grew up in Lewisville, lives in Dallas and attended the University of North Texas. He credits his father, who once dabbled in radio including a stint as disc jockey, for his powerful, recognizable voice. Followill is best known in the metroplex as the television play-by-play announcer of the Dallas Mavericks, working with former Maverick Derek Harper and sport show host Jeff “Skin” Wade. “In the late 1990s, KLIF was the flagship station for the Mavs and I was working for The Ticket,” Followill said. Both stations were owned by Susquehanna Broadcasting at the time. “I had the opportunity to do the pre- and post-game shows. The Mavericks weren’t very good, so not a lot of announcers were looking to do those shows, but my relationship allowed me to fill-in on some games on the radio side for about two months. When they later made changes to the broadcast structure, I moved in and starting doing radio fulltime.” He became the team’s lead television announcer in 2005. Regarding the expectations for the upcoming Mavericks season, Followill said, “I am excited to see how Dennis Smith, Jr. has grown from year one to year two. I don’t know that I would apply the exact same thought as Jimmy Johnson used to say about NFL players that ‘the most important year for them is year one to year two.’ I think the learning curve is a little more gradual from an NBA standpoint. Careers are longer and there is a more cerebral element to the game I would say. Obviously physical elements are in play, but I think it will be an important jump in his career. “I am excited to see [Mavericks first round pick Luka] Dončić and I think that DeAndre Jordan is definitely going to help them. So my expectations would be that they will be a significantly more entertaining team to watch. There will be improvement, but how much improvement remains to be seen. Making progress in the [NBA’s] Western Conference is a Herculean task.” And Followill should know. Doing nine World Cup broadcasts, working FC Dallas matches, preparing for next month’s college football slate and getting ready for 82 2018-19 Mavericks regular season games, Followill is amidst a Herculean task, as well.

Young entrepreneurs rejoice in smart home security
By Ryann Gordon
ryannbgordon@yahoo.com After 20 years in the fire life safety alarm industry, the CEO of Pulsar Alarm Systems has finally stepped foot into the DIY, smart home security arena. Brian Ireland, owner and CEO of Pulsar Alarms, has released his newest and most innovative product — Pulsar HALO — which, like the name suggests, could be the saving grace in smart home security. Pulsar HALO celebrated its official, hard launch on July 16, after months of building a platform that
could meet the needs of young techies and entrepreneurs alike. Not only is Pulsar HALO among the first wave of wireless home security and automation systems controlled through a single-app portal, available to renters, homeowners and business-owners alike, but it is the first direct sales alarm company on the market. Further than that, it’s DIY, so you can do it, your mom can do it, heck, grandma could even figure it out. While initially Ireland aimed to steer his 1995-acquired company primarily toward the commercial and

multi-family residential sector, after a stint working with Jaqx Smart Home Automation, he decided to put his expertise to work in new territory. “Initially I got involved with Jaqx because I believed in the product and vision so much,” Ireland said. “And, because it wasn’t implemented exactly in the way it was promised, I had to go my own direction. Pulsar HALO is everything that I would have wanted from Jaqx, but it will honor all of its representatives as a crucial part of the team. We are a team here, and without every single one

of the people by my side, I wouldn’t have made it this far today.” There comes a time when the ties of relationships over business must be cut; however, Ireland has assured all the members of his team now and previous affiliations that he wants everyone to honor their Jaqx commitments, but that the HALO door is open when they are ready.

Sp tlight METROCARE SERVICES
Treating adults and children with severe mental illnesses or developmental disabilities for 50 years.
By Sally Blanton
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 does Metrocare do and when was it
founded? Metrocare Services was formerly called Dallas County Mental Health Mental Retardation and was formed in 1967. Today, we serve more than 57,000 North Texas adults and children annually. Metrocare provides an array of services and primary care centers for adults and children, accessible pharmacies, housing and supportive social services. Through the Altshuler Center for Education & Research, we are advancing mental health beyond Dallas County.
A
nonprofit does for our community? Provide access to mental and behavioral health services to those in need. Additionally, we educate the future workforce by training more than 200+ health care professionals at our Altshuler Center for Education & Research at Metrocare.
A
QW hat upcoming fundraisers are on the
calendar? On Wednesday, Oct. 17, Metrocare will host its annual “Meal for the Minds” fundraising luncheon at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas. Sponsorships begin at $1,500 and individual tickets are $200 each.
A
QW hat is your facility like?
A Metrocare currently operates eight be-
havioral health centers throughout Dallas County, including a site for veterans and their family members. Additionally, Metrocare is co-located at various nonprofits such as The Bridge Homeless Shelter and The Stewpot.
Q H ow did your career path lead you to this position?
A I started my career in nonprofit more than 18 years ago. I was a fundraising executive at Parkland Foundation during their “I Stand for Parkland” capital campaign, as well as senior director of Foundation and Corporate Giving at United Way of Metropolitan Dallas. Five years ago, I joined Metrocare as the director of development. In my role, I am responsible for agency-wide fund development strategies, special events, volunteer engagement and grants administration.
QW hy are you passionate about helping
this charity? I am passionate because of the mission. My goal is to bring awareness regarding the impact of mental illness in our community, and the consequences if we “ignore” its existence. Our goal is to erase the stigma, break the silence and increase awareness.

donation today … where would it immediately be put to good use? It would be used to support our Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) program. In 2016, Texas’ ECI programs experienced a $350 million budget cut from its Medicaid funding. Since that time, Metrocare’s ECI has struggled to provide the much needed services for eligible individuals (newborn to three years of age). Currently, there are 250+ children on the wait list to receive ECI services.

dotty.griffith@yahoo.com Editor’s Note: Katy Trail Weekly Food Editor Dotty Griffith has the week off. This is an encore of a previously published column. Restaurant survival depends on warp speed Darwinism. Restaurants come. They thrive and adapt. Or they’re extinct … within months, not eons. The evolution of two-yearold CiboDivino Marketplace (translates to divine food) means more divine pasta. Chef-owner Daniele Puleo now serves pasta daily. Initially, it was a Friday-Saturday special. More of Daniele’s authentic, seasonal pasta is worth noting. Of course, ultra-thin crust pizzas still crackle and bubble out of the wood-burning oven.
Changes reflect a shift from less marketplace to more restaurant, although there are still a lot of top-quality Italian products, meats, cheeses and a great selection of Italian wine. Cibo has added a brunch menu that offers Americanstyle bacon and eggs, as well as Italian-accented breakfast dishes including a fried egg with grilled polenta and Bolognese sauce. This spot in West DallasOak Cliff’s Sylvan Thirty development reflects the talent and passion of Puleo, who along with wife Christina, daily manifest tastes of Italy in their restaurant-wine-bar-market. Puleo’s pasta alone is worth the trip over the Trinity River if you don’t live on the South bank. The pasta menu changes with the seasons, so what I tasted recently may be
on the way out in deference to fall. No matter. Puleo knows pasta. Dishes like farfalle (bowtie pasta) with salmon and zucchini in a sauce “with a touch of cream” and olive oil. “Salmon is the only fish that gets cream,” Puleo said. He sauced shrimp and cavatappi (cork screw noodles) with pesto, the classic Italian combo of basil, garlic, Parmesan and pine nuts pulverized into a thick sauce. Pesto coats pasta like a latex glove. Lite and breezy mezzaluna (moon-shaped ravioli) stuffed with ricotta and spinach, also sauced with pesto, may be had in a gluten-free version. Spinach fettucine (flat noodles) with wild mushrooms in a Gorgonzola (Italian blue cheese) sauce is another full-flavored Cibo classic. Gnocchi (potato dumpling
WINE TASTING
Summer rosés on display Can’t get enough rosé this time of year? Or any time? CiboDivino is hosting a rosé tasting Thursday, Aug. 2, 6 to 8 p.m. Chef Daniele Puleo will take guests on an around the world tour of rosé wines. The “Flights & Bites” tasting includes four wines and gourmet bites for $35. For reservations, call 214-653-2426. — Dotty Griffith
pasta) with parmigiana sauce and toasted almonds is positively drool-worthy. This creamy, dreamy dish ought to make the seasonal transition. It is a pasta for all seasons. Pasta and pizza aren’t all that’s on the menu. Panini (sandwiches) on housemade ciabatta bread draw on Italian salumi (cured meats), such as thin sliced mortadella, and cheeses like provolone and fresh mozzarella. The wine bar at Cibo has televisions making it a good spot for Cowboys watching when you want to wine and dine Italian-style while going full on Dallas.

your kitchen’s temperature up to 10 degrees. You can mix in your barbeque by cooking vegetables and beans in your microwave oven, since it uses just one-third the energy that an oven does. No one likes a sweltering kitchen. Old incandescent bulbs are costing you dollars and cents. Now is the right time to switch to LED lighting. For one reason, you may be keeping your house darker so more lights will be on. It is estimated that LED bulbs use 75 percent less energy, last 50 times longer and don’t generate heat like incandescent bulbs. Keep an eye on your electronics. When you place lamps or TVs near air-conditioning units, a thermostat can feel the heat and try to cool down a room. Unplug electronics and bathroom items like hair dryers and curling irons. They may be using up energy while not in use. Same goes for your home computer that is eating up energy because of software downloads and screensavers. And get the kids off of the couch. They should be outside playing games, not inside playing video games. Use cold Stephan Sardone water. Ninety percent of energy used by your washing machine goes into heating the water. Find laundry detergents that are designed to clean clothes in cold water. Same principles apply to your dishwasher. Use cold water and let dishes, glassware, pots, pans and utensils air dry. Also, since it is warm outside, you may want to dry towels and bigger items outside. Using cold water will keep you out of hot water when your utility bills come.

“Baby, it’s hot outside.” Locally, we are facing a streak of triple-digit temperatures for the rest of July. While opening up the fire hydrant on your street is not really an option these days, there are some simple ways to stay cool while saving energy this summer. Already, energy providers and municipalities are warning of potential power shortages caused by excessive use. From 4 to 5 p.m. on July 16, Texas power companies reported the highest hour of energy consumption all year statewide. People take for granted that the summer months can stretch energy loads. But you may not realize some of the causes. Obviously, excessive air conditioning use is a main culprit. But with children home from school, they may be playing video games or other electronics all day. More laundry loads may be run because of beach towels, bathing suits or dirty clothes. And if you can convince the kids to go outside, air conditioning is lost from the front and back door constantly opening. But all is not lost. Below are some ways to use less energy in the summer and save money on your utility bills. Check your thermostat. For every degree you raise your thermostat above 72 degrees, you save up to three percent on cooling costs. Try setting your thermostat to 78 degree or higher and certainly raise it when not at home. Or just cool parts of the house if areas are not in use. Now is the time to consider a smart thermostat to make changing temperatures, excuse the pun, no sweat. Become a fan of ceiling fans. They are inexpensive to buy and save energy. You may want to consider calling a licensed professional to make installation easy. A good fan can allow you to raise your thermostat four degrees but will still provide room comfort. Keep the sun away from the house. Invest in good, thick window coverings like Venetian blinds and heavy curtains. You can replace them in the fall. Check all windows for any leaks that may let the air out. Open windows at night. Invest in quality landscaping. Wellplaced shrubs, trees and vines can block walls and windows. But don’t forget about rooftops as well. They are sources of trapped heat. A tall tree can help shade your roof. Your barbeque can be a key. Kitchens full of heat-producing apA good ceiling fan can allow you to raise your pliances like ovens thermostat several degrees without sacrificing and stoves can raise comfort.

The coming week is likely to prove challenging, as individuals are presented with situations that reflect both their desires and fears in equal measure, and which demand a willingness to let go of preconceived notions in order to progress. If that sounds like a tall order, it is! There is a secret, however, to making a success of what sounds quite daunting: Throw caution to the wind. Yes, those who are able to move forward with little concern for success or failure are the likeliest to succeed. While the stakes are certainly high, the more one can laugh in the face of adversity, the more likely he or she will be to reach those goals that are recognized as hard to attain. For those who are open to self-discovery, many questions are likely to be answered and mysteries solved. There are those who may label themselves “difficult” in some way, but this week can temper that, and leave such individuals with a new appreciation for who they really are. CANCER (June 21-July 7) You have complaints, surely, but you can take the high road and focus on the positive. Good thoughts can propel you forward. (July 8-July 22) – You’re likely to face a challenge that you simply cannot decline. You know that the learning curve is steep — but it’s nothing you cannot conquer.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) As you propel someone else forward, pay attention to the path you are taking. It’ll be yours to take in little time. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – You may be eager for protection, but in fact it’s protection you can offer to someone else. Don’t let anyone tell you that you are too vulnerable. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) There are those who will tell you that there is nothing to learn from a certain situation, but you know that is far from the truth. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – You recognize in another what you aspire to have, or to be. Keep watching, for you’ll learn a few important lessons that you can put to good use immediately. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) You’re used to being behind the eight ball in a certain situation, and things may get worse before they get better. You can prevail. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – You feel the pace quickening, and you’re fearful that you may not be able to control things as you would like. You’re overlooking one useful option. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) Your plan may have to change dramatically when you realize that one who trusts only you is in need of some immediate assistance. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – You’re after something new, but in order to
enjoy it you must bite the bullet and dispense with something old — and it may be precious to you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) It’s time for you to accept what you cannot change, and work with the circumstances that recent events have shaped for you. (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – You want to see yourself in the position that another now holds, but what are you willing to do to win it? Trial and error is the name of the game. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 6) You may be opposed to that which is widely accepted by others, and you can take a stand and make a difference — if you dare. (Jan. 7-Jan. 19) – Home is where the heart is, and you’re eager to be reunited with someone who gives your days meaning. Someone you know may be guilty of a betrayal. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) You can lead by example and surprise even yourself by doing something that would not have been possible even just days ago. (Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – You may be preoccupied with thoughts of your destiny, when in fact you should simply focus on what must be done to progress day after day. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) You are likely to be quite disappointed with yourself if you are
Copyright 2018 United Feature Syndicate, Inc. unable to do what you have set out to do. Attitude is the key. (March 6-March 20) – You may suffer inexplicably from flop sweat — until you start listening to a partner who tells you exactly what you need to hear. ARIES (March 21-April 4) You may be unable to change things to suit your mood or satisfy your desires, but that’s no reason to give up on them entirely. Be patient! (April 5-April 19) – You are presented with more than one situation that allows you to see yourself very much as others see you — and that isn’t as surprising as it sounds. TAURUS (April 20-May 5) Now is no time to leave a job undone. You must see things through to the end — or risk damaging your reputation. Friends can help you. (May 6-May 20) – You’re more than willing to take up the slack for someone who cannot be in two places at once — but don’t expect any extraordinary reward for your service. GEMINI (May 21-June 6) You may find it frustrating to deal with those whom you consider more shallow than yourself. Perhaps you’re just not seeing eye-to-eye. (June 7-June 20) – You can afford to be more patient with others, surely — but it’s more important that you strive to be patient with yourself. Be realistic!

Uncle barky's bites
Emmy nominations missed some worthy performances
By Ed Bark
unclebarky@verizon.net And now for the snubs after fully digesting the latest prime-time Emmy nominations — and what got spat out. First, a caveat. Voters Ed have an increasingly difficult task with a myriad of programs from almost countless different directions. Even with expanded lists of nominees in some major categories, it remains impossible to please everyone. (You can see a list of all nominations in all categories on emmys.com.) OK, no more Mr. Nice Guy, because at least two omissions were inexcusable. Let’s start with Ken Burns’ exemplary 10-part “The Vietnam War,” which arguably was his finest, and certainly most immediate, achievement ever. It did receive four nominations, including for directing and writing. But inexplicably, “The Vietnam War” is not among the five nominees for “Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series.” Huh? Instead the Emmy nods went to PBS’ “American Masters,” Netflix’s “Wild Wild Country,” HBO’s “The Defiant Ones,” BBC America’s “Blue Planet II” and Showtime’s “The Fourth Estate.” “Wild Wild Country” and “The Fourth Estate” both had the advantage of being recent premieres while “The Vietnam War” launched on PBS back in September. Apparently that’s too long ago for many voters’ memories. But in the annals of egregious Emmy omissions, this one is near the top of the charts. “The Vietnam War” did fare better than HBO’s heavily acclaimed drama series “The Deuce,” which got completely skunked. There are two major factors here. “The Deuce,” which depicts the rise of New York City’s porn industry, likewise premiered “long ago” last September. More to the point, though, it very likely fell by the wayside because of accusations that star James Franco had engaged in “sexually exploitative” behavior on several occasions. His denials — “not accurate,” he said on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” — have mostly fallen flat in times when the #MeToo movement has become a major force both in Hollywood and around the world. Unfortunately, Emmy’s complete bypass of “The Deuce” penalizes both the series as a whole and an exemplary performance by Maggie Gyllenhaal as a prostitute seeking to become an independent entrepreneur in

‘The Equalizer 2’ not good showcase for Denzel Washington By Chic DiCiccio @chiccywood
The prologue of “The Equalizer 2” is set onboard a passenger train in Turkey where Denzel Washington’s Robert McCall is disguised as a Muslim bookworm. He’s sporting a kufi and wearing what is quite possibly the fakest beard in American movie history. This opening seems like it wants to set McCall up as an international man of mystery, a vigilante James Bond of sorts. But why did every moment of it seem more like Frank Drebin smacking around world leaders at the beginning of “The Naked Gun?” It’s highly doubtful this is what director Antoine Fuqua, screenwriter Richard Wenk and acting titan Washington had in mind. Denzel’s first go around as McCall worked (or, at least, became a guilty pleasure) because the story was localized and his vigilante justice was doled out to those that normally get away with it. Oddly enough, this horribly paced, slightly tone deaf sequel fails when things hit too close too home for McCall. After he loses the beard, McCall returns to Boston, where he spends his time as a Lyft driver. He hangs out with a Holocaust survivor (an adorable Orson Bean) and visits highfalutin’ locally owned bookstores (he even shops local, what a guy!). But, every now and then, he has to break every bone in the arms of penthouse-dwelling white collar cokeheads that would normally get away with sexual assault. Is there something deeply satisfying in watching McCall dispatch scumbags with ease? Absolutely. It’s a testament to Denzel’s magnetism that makes horrific, borderline sociopathic acts of violence a good
COLUMBIA AND SONY PICTURES
Denzel Washington stars in "The Equalizer 2." time. But is it fun seeing him become wrapped up in some horribly constructed CIA imbroglio that starts up in Brussels, Belgium? Um, not so much. While McCall does his best to keep a young kid in his apartment complex, Miles (Ashton Sanders), from succumbing to the pressures of street gang violence, his old CIA pals are in Belgium doing spy stuff. Susan (Melissa Leo), McCall’s BFF, is leading a murder investigation with his old CIA kill squad partner, Dave (Pedro Pascal), in tow.
It’s easy to see that somebody here is doomed, and since Wenk’s screenplay is devoid of intrigue, it’s equally simple to figure out who is behind it all. The next thing you know, McCall is on a laptop, tracking mobile phone calls, analyzing security camera footage, etc. Please remember this is a guy who borrowed a hammer from a Home Depot in the previous film to dish out sweet, sweet random justice. Denzel is fairly critic proof and he seems fully committed, even when shouting insane things like
“You don’t know what death is” to a character whose older brother was, in fact, murdered. McCall is essentially a fictional, hyper-stylized version of the real life Denzel and he manages to take that hackneyed dialogue and still make it sound righteous. The action finale lets him down and turns him into nothing more than a blunt object that could have been played by any aging action star. Columbia Pictures should have pushed for the movie to simply be called “The Equalizer: This Time
It’s Personal.” It’s strange that a plot designed for an audience to learn more about a character isn’t as interesting as the prior film that left McCall as a more mysterious figure. It’s almost as if this screenplay was initially about the whole Belgium angle and McCall’s character was inserted in after the fact. But Denzel, errr, McCall does spend some time reading Proust’s In Search of Lost Time, which has to be a cinematic first. Maybe he’ll break out Remembrance of Things Past for “The Threequalizer.”
