NEW ON DVD THIS WEEK “MISS BALA”: Gloria (Gina Rodriguez) agrees to travel to Tijuana to help her friend, Suzu (Christina Ridlo), prepare for a beauty contest. That trip turns deadly when Gloria is captured by a drug cartel and forced to work for them.

The remake of the 2011 film “Miss Bala” by Gerardo Naranjo works until writer Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer opts for an Americanized ending. Gone is the hopelessness and pain that made the Mexican drama so unforgettable. The necessity to bring everything to a more positive conclusion leaves the new version from director Catherine Hardwicke with less of an emotional impact.

Dunnet-Alcocer not only weakens the film with his ending that suggests all is right with the world, he never misses an opportunity to take a shortcut to keep the plot going. One of the most laughable comes when after being held captive for days, Gloria is thrust into the beauty pageant at the last minute. For this to work, everyone involved from the judges to the contestants must be OK with all the manipulation.

It’s the ending where the writer shows a lack of respect for the original film and the audience. In the 2011 film, Gloria barely survives the film’s climactic battle. The new version (spoiler alert) not only has Gloria surviving, but going Rambo to help end the shootout. She’s gone through such an aggressive change that an undercover agent suggests she should be working as a government agent.

ALSO NEW ON DVD APRIL 30 “MISSION OF HONOR”: This is the story of Squadron 303, a group of pilots

WOOD WORKS OF ART TAKE CENTER STAGE AT WOODFEST

By SKAGIT VALLEY HERALD STAFF

SEDRO-WOOLLEY — Most of the time, the only hardwood found inside the gym at Sedro-Woolley High School is the floor of the basketball court.

That will change April 27-28 as WoodFest Timber to Tech will cover that hardwood floor with an abundance of wooden works of art produced by high school students from across Northwest Washington.

WoodFest, in its 21st year, is part of the monthlong Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. Admission is free and those choosing to do so have a chance to play judge, casting votes for their favorite wood projects.

Attendees can also win prizes by participating in any of a number of drawings. Bid the right amount and the handcrafted object could be yours by way of silent auction.

The Northwest Corner Woodworkers Association and the Northwest Washington Wood Turners will demonstrate their tools and techniques.

Wooden cars will also race down a track as part of The Boy Scouts of America Pinewood Derby, and vendors from around the area will be selling their handcrafted woodwork as well as other products.

“Woodworking requires great attention to detail, critical thinking and problem-solving skills,” said David Vandette of the Northwest Corner Woodworkers Association. “And those skills are valuable in all careers. At WoodFest, you’ll see how our local young people have developed those skills and built beautiful and innovative projects in the process.”

CHARLES BILES / SKAGIT VALLEY HERALD FILE

WoodFest also includes activities in downtown Sedro-Woolley including English tea and tours of Willowbrook Manor. There will be hayrides, chain saw carving as well as wine tasting at the Perkins Family Farm/Eagle Haven Winery, located east of Sedro-Woolley off Highway 20.

Beauty is blooming in these gardens

By LYNN O’ROURKE HAYES

WEST SEATTLE BEE GARDEN, SEATTLE Discover the busy world of bees during a visit to this intriguing bee garden. Your family can safely learn about the importance of honeycomb, nectar, honey and pollen and why we need to preserve the bee population. Take time to walk through the adjacent park and talk about plants and their role in the pollination process. An annual festival includes activities for kids, music and enhanced educational programs. westseattlebeegarden. com 2. DESERT BOTANICAL GARDENS, PHOENIX Tucked within the red-hued landscape of Papago Park, the Desert Botanical Garden hosts one of the world’s finest collections of desert plants. The garden is home to rare, threatened and endangered plant species from around the world. Families enjoy the magical Butterfly Pavilion where beautiful winged creatures, native to the Southwest, sip nectar and gently perch on young visitors.

‘Unstable by Design’ takes a surreal approach

By SKAGIT VALLEY HERALD STAFF

BELLINGHAM — From the mind of Glenn Hergenhahn-Zhao, the artistic director of the Sylvia Center for the Arts, comes “Unstable

by Design,” a new play.

The play centers on an ad-writing intern’s manic mind as he goes through intervention and creative rebirth. Along the way, the protagonist enters therapy, takes medication and hallucinates a group of impressive companions including Andy Warhol, Emily Dickinson, Friedrich Nietzsche and others.

This is the last weekend to catch the play; it will run at 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, April 25-27, at the Lucas Hicks Theatre within the Sylvia Center for the Arts, 205 Prospect St. Tickets: $15 general admission, $12 Sylvia Center members.

MINI REVIEWS

They saved maybe the best for the end

By RICHARD ROEPER Chicago Sun-Times

I’m not prepared to instantly label “Avengers: Endgame” as the best of the 23 Marvel Universe movies to date, but it’s a serious contender for the crown, and it’s the undisputed champion when it comes to emotional punch.

If you don’t feel the tears welling up multiple times during this screen-filling, eye-popping, time-hopping, pulse-pounding, beautifully filmed superhero adventure for the ages, check for a pulse — because you might be dead.

So much hype has swirled for so long in advance of this sure-tocrack-$2-billion-worldwide insta-hit, you might have been wondering if even the combined powers of Captain Marvel, Iron Man, Black Widow, the Hulk, Captain America et al., would be strong enough to hold up under such an avalanche of expectations.

Not to worry. As the popular movie saying goes: They got this.

Thanks to a funny, well-paced, smart, expertly rendered screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely; crisp direction from Anthony Russo and Joe Russo, who pull off the otherworldly feat of juggling a myriad of story arcs and a Hall of Fame lineup bursting with well over a dozen beloved superhero characters; and the universally stellar performances from a cast filled with Oscar winners, Oscar nominees and charismatic stars on the rise, “Avengers:

DISNEY / MARVEL STUDIOS VIA AP

Robert Downey Jr. is shown in a scene from “Avengers: Endgame.”

Endgame” actually breezes through its nearly threehour running time with nary a dull moment or a stumble in plot development.

“Endgame” begins with the first of many small, intimate, human family moments, involving one of the Avengers and his family in the moments just before (“Avengers: Infinity War” spoiler alert!) Thanos snapped his evil fingers and made half the inhabitants of the entire universe (including many of our favorite superheroes) disappear in clouds of swirling black ash.

From there we cut to a core group of surviving Avengers, including Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans), Bruce Banner/Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), James Rhodes/War Machine (Don Cheadle) and Natasha Romanoff/ Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), who don’t look and sound anything like mighty warriors as they despair over their losses and wonder if they have any purpose in this new and devastated world.

Eventually we catch up with Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.),

Scott Lang/Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), Clint Barton/Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) and Thor/He’s Just Always Thor (Chris Hemsworth), each of whom has traveled a unique journey — one finding a measure of peace in a postsuperhero life, another utterly lost but eager to get back in the game, another fueled by an unquenchable thirst for vengeance, and another who has let himself go and spends his days guzzling beer and playing video games. (I’ll leave it to you to discover the particulars, which include some heart-touching moments AND some of the biggest laughs ever produced in any superhero movie in any universe.)

It’s Paul Rudd’s AntMan, he of the super-duper shrinking abilities and the experiences with all that “quantum realm” scientific jazz, who comes up with a seemingly impossible proposition: Why don’t they expand on Ant-Man’s experience and take it to the next level? Like, go back in time to before Thanos accumulated all six Infinity Stones and festooned them to an Infinity Gauntlet, STOP him from acquiring

the Stones, and that way he’ll never have the opportunity to snap his fingers and instantly kill half the populations of all the thousands of planets!

“You mean ... a time machine?” asks a fellow Avenger.

Well, no, says Ant-Man. It would be more like, well, you know, it would be ...

All right: It’ll be a time machine.

This leads to a bounty of jokes about “Back to the Future” and other time-traveling movies, and then “Endgame” actually BECOMES a “Back to the Future”-type adventure, that is, if Marty McFly could actually McFly and he was joined on his time-hopping missions by all sorts of superheroes on multiple planets.

Working in teams of two, the Avengers travel to the Asgard and the Morag and the New York City of the recent past, and the New Jersey of about a half-century ago, among other stops. This leads to some double-trouble encounters — Captain America encounters earlier Captain America, Nebula (Karen Gillan) runs into previous Nebula, that sort of thing — and also presents multiple opportunities for various characters to revisit loved ones who exist only in the past.

These superheroes never seem more human than when a son gets to talk to his father in a time period before the son was born, or a man sees the woman he never had the chance to be with, or a son is reunited with his mother on the day

she will die.

In those moments, “Avengers: Endgame” is as emotionally affecting as any Marvel movie has ever been. But don’t put away the tissues, because even more powerful dramatic developments are yet to come.

Amidst all the soaring and the blasting and the inevitable gigantic climactic battle, this is a genuinely moving drama involving certain characters we’ve come to know and love through the years.

Some of the Avengers are afforded major chunks of screen time; others have a line or two at the most. Yet somehow, all make a lasting impact. In a movie filled with terrific performances, the standouts are Scarlett Johansson, whose Black Widow has changed in so many ways since we first met her; Chris Hemsworth, providing a surprising amount of comedic relief as a very different version of Thor; and most of all Robert Downey Jr., whose Tony Stark has always been the most fascinating, complex, multilayered, charismatic “civilian” persona of any superhero universe I’ve ever visited.

The Motion Picture Academy never recognizes great acting if it comes attached to a costume or a cape. That doesn’t mean Downey isn’t deserving of an Oscar. It’s great acting in a great film.

– 3:02. Rated PG-13 (for sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and some language). HHHH (out of four stars)

Compiled from news services.

Ratings are 1 to 4 stars.

“Teen Spirit” — Like “The Karate Kid,” this endearing, cotton-candy-light confection of a film depicts a sensitive teenager learning from an unlikely mentor how to defeat more experienced competition. As the singer with big dreams, Elle Fanning is definitely good enough to make us believe her as a bona fide contender on a talent show. Music competition, PG-13, 92 minutes. HHH “Her Smell” — Elisabeth Moss is undeniably a force as a mercurial 1990s punk rocker who seems possessed with the insatiable drive to alienate everyone in her life and destroy her career.

But just as Becky wears out her welcome nearly everywhere she goes, the movie wore me down to the point of irritation. Music drama, R, 135 minutes.

HH½ “The Curse of La Llorona” — A hissing, pasty-faced zombie-ghost targets the children of a social worker (Linda Cardellini) in the latest addition to the Conjuring Universe. But any hopes of a creepy horror gem are dashed by the overacting, clumsy plot machinations and cliche-riddled “Gotcha!” moments.

Horror, R, 93 minutes. H½ “Fast Color” — In a bleak near future where water is in short supply, heroine Ruth (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) is unable to harness her special abilities, and she feels cursed, not blessed. The tight and lean and smart and cool “Fast Color” works as a genuinely moving drama as well as an engrossing, supernatural-sci-fi mystery. Sci-fi thriller, PG-13, 100 minutes. HHH½

AMC says 17 of its theaters will remain open 72 hours straight for ‘Avengers: Endgame’

By RYAN FAUGHNDER Los Angeles Times

AMC Theatres is bracing for one of the biggest weekends ever at the box office when Marvel Studios’ “Avengers: Endgame” opens today.

Seventeen of the theater chain’s locations are scheduled to remain open for more than 72 hours straight to accommodate demand for the opening weekend of the Walt Disney Co. film, which is expected to break sales records, the Leawood, Kan.-based company said Monday.

Theater owners are pulling out all the stops to schedule additional screenings for the new “Avengers,” which could gross about $260 million in the U.S. and Canada during its opening weekend, according to people who have reviewed prerelease audience surveys.

That would exceed the previous domestic record of $257.7 million set last year by “Avengers: Infinity War,” and deliver a much-needed boost to the 2019 box office.

Ticket sales in the U.S. and Canada are down 16 percent this year over last, according to Comscore.

The movie has already racked up presale records. AMC said the film has sold more advance tickets than any title in the company’s history,

surpassing 2015’s “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” which was also a Disney movie. Counting all domestic theaters, “The Force Awakens” sold $100 million in tickets before it even hit theaters, according to industry estimates.

But the surge in business has proved to be a logistical challenge for cinemas, which are trying to max out sales.

AMC and other theaters have been scheduling latenight and early-morning screenings for the movie in order to make up for its three-hour runtime, which limits the number of showings cinemas can schedule during more traditional screening hours.

AMC said an additional 18 theaters will stay open around-the-clock Thursday through Saturday or Friday through Sunday, and 29 more will operate continuously Thursday through Friday.

A frenzy of ticket buying crashed AMC’s website for hours when passes went on sale earlier this month.

Showings at the AMC Cascade Mall 14 in Burlington will begin from 6 p.m. to midnight today, 9 a.m. to midnight Friday, 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Sunday, according to the AMC Theatres website.

“Crypto” — This cryptocurrency thriller is one of those wonderfully convoluted guilty-pleasure actioners full of WTF moments, like Alexis Bledel singing “House of the Rising Sun” or a man being called “a piece of country candy.” And we haven’t even mentioned Kurt Russell as a potato farmer. Thriller, R, 105 minutes. HHH “Hellboy” — In an R-rated reboot, David Harbour disappears into the red skin, hulking physique and sawed-off horns of the monster hunter Hellboy. There’s so much emphasis on hard-R violence in this blood-spattered, bone-cracking, resoundingly tedious mess, it’s as if story and character and involving storylines were left back in the trailer. Fantasy action, R, 120 minutes. H½ “The Chaperone” — Nearly every time the prim and proper Norma (Elizabeth McGovern) takes center stage in this 1920s drama from the “Downton Abbey” team, we’re wondering what’s happening with the teenager she’s supposed to be escorting, the wildly talented and also more than a little wild Louise Brooks. Drama, not rated, 108 minutes. HH “Pet Sematary” — A really smart guy commits one idiotic act after another in this second adaptation of Stephen King’s horror novel.

Though far superior to the tone-deaf 1989 version, the film ultimately comes across as more grisly and grotesque than scary and involving and thought-provoking. Horror, R, 101 minutes. HH “The Best of Enemies” — As you might expect, we get powerful work from Taraji P. Henson as a civil rights activist and Sam Rockwell as a KKK leader forced to work with each other on school desegregation in 1971. But the film falls into such a predictable rhythm, it doesn’t quite carry the emotional resonance such a powerful true-life story should convey.

Historical drama, PG-13, 133 minutes. HH½
