NEW ON DVD THIS WEEK “BACKDRAFT 2”: It’s been 28 years since the original “Backdraft” (starring Kurt Russell, Scott Glenn and Jennifer Jason Leigh) played in theaters.

The sequel has just enough ties to the first film about a family of Chicago firefighters to be a nod to the primary source, but it is Joe Anderson’s (“Outsiders”) performance that gives the action film the sparks to attract both fans of the first movie and those who wouldn’t know it.

Anderson’s Sean McCaffrey has continued the family tradition of working for the Windy City’s fire department. He’s an arson investigator who can tell the difference between an accident and an intentional burning with one whiff. He faces one of his toughest tests when he lands in the middle of an investigation that has Chicago politicians nervous because of its connections to an arms dealer.

There is a red-hot intensity Anderson brings to the role. Director Gonzalo López-Gallego (“Apollo 18”) does a good job of starting Anderson’s performance off at a slow boil and then turning up the heat. Much of the film has McCaffrey acting like a lone wolf and had he not come through with such strong work, the film would have fizzled.

Ties to the original film include the casting of William Baldwin and Donald Sutherland, who both reprise their roles as firefighter and fire starter.

“DANIEL TIGER’S NEIGHBORHOOD: WON’T YOU BE OUR NEIGHBOR”: The new DVD release includes episodes about how Daniel gets a new neighbor and friend.

A SOARING ‘RING OF THE NIBELUNG’

By KIMBERLY CAUVEL @Kimberly_SVH

Pacific Northwest Opera based in Mount Vernon is bringing a unique telling of an epic tale of Norse legends to Skagit Valley College’s McIntyre Hall, with showings of a condensed telling of the famed opera, “The Ring of the Nibelung,” Friday and Sunday.

Artistic and General Director Mitchell Kahn said “The Ring of the Nibelung” is an original opera that at least in part inspired the “Lord of the Rings” and “Game of Thrones” series.

“The Ring of the Nibelung” was originally written by Richard Wagner as four shows totaling 18 hours, which would be performed during a week’s time, Kahn said. The version the Pacific Northwest Opera is performing is condensed to three hours.

Kahn said in a news release that he hopes the “Reader’s Digest” version he wrote himself will make the show less daunting while maintaining the core of the story and the majestic splendor of the musical numbers included.

The performance will be sung in its original German with English supertitles and led by Jonathan Kuhner, a veteran Wagner conductor who has conducted at venues including the Metropolitan Opera, San Francisco Opera and Bayreuth Festspielhaus in Germany.

The Pacific Northwest Opera’s May performances are bringing the story of the Ring back to the region, since the

Seattle Opera retired its production in 2013, according to a release.

“Our production is designed to appeal both to experienced Wagner fans and to those who have never seen the ‘Ring,’ whether because they think they don’t like Wagner, or have simply never had an opportunity to experience one of his works,” Kahn said.

TRAVEL

FA M I LY T R AV E L FI V E

If you are looking for a historic vacation, take a hike

By LYNN O’ROURKE HAYES FamilyTravel.com

The National Water Trails System, a network of 22 rivers, lakes and other waterway trails, designated as such by the U.S. Department of Interior, offers families recreational opportunities and history lessons in scenic regions of the U.S. Here are five trails to consider: 1. THE MISSOURI NATIONAL RECREATIONAL RIVER WATER TRAIL, IOWA AND SOUTH DAKOTA: How might this river have appeared to Lewis and Clark when they navigated their way along the Missouri more than 200 years ago?

Discover for yourself as you explore some of the last remaining natural stretches of America’s longest river, on the lookout for wildlife, scenic vistas and contemplating the significant history of the area. You’ll learn about the plants, animals and landscapes described in the Lewis and Clark journals and find out how the river has changed course over the years.

The trail extends from Fort Randall Dam near Pickstown, S.D., to Sioux City, Iowa, mostly within the boundaries of the Missouri National Recreational River, or MNRR, a National Park unit consisting of relatively free-flowing segments of the storied river. mri.usd.edu/watertrail/ 2. GREAT MIAMI RIVER WATERSHED WATER TRAIL, OHIO: In southwest Ohio, families can access 291 miles of paddling, fishing, and wildlife watching on three rivers and numerous smaller tributaries, including the Great Miami River, Stillwater River, Mad River, as well as Twin, Greenville and Buck Creeks.

You’ll also find whitewater and kayak parks, world-class fishing and more than 100 natural and urban parks in the region. Maps are

SHUTTERSTOCK

Great Miami River

available to help families locate the 117 public access points, bike trail information and to plan a custom adventure. mcdwater.org/river-fun/river-trails/ 3. WILLAMETTE WATER TRAIL, ORE.: Plan a day trip or a multi-day outing on this mostly flatwater, 216-mile trail that flows north from the Oregon Coastal Range, through rural landscapes, past Corvallis and Eugene, through the urban Portland area and into the Columbia River.

Paddlers can access a waterproof and bound printed map or the web site to find campsites, picnic areas, parks and historical points of interest and to track river features.

Follow links on the website to learn about festivals and other happenings related to the trail. Guide and shuttle services are available. willamettewatertrail.org 4. BAYOU TECHE PADDLE TRAIL, LA.: Be on the lookout for wood ducks, herons, kingfishers and warblers as you paddle your chosen stretch of this 135- mile trail, named by the Chitimacha tribe and

lined with cypress trees and live oaks dripping Spanish moss. Each town along the trail offers history, architecture, music and art worth further exploration.

Choose from 13 possible access points to paddle a seven-mile route or longer stretches. Consult the web site to learn about fishing opportunities, locks, portages and to help determine the appropriate route for your group. techeproject.org/bayou-teche-paddle-trail/about-2/# 5. THE HUDSON RIVER GREENWAY WATER TRAIL, N.Y.: Make use of the web site’s interactive “plan your trip” feature to craft an outing within this scenic region that stretches from the Adirondacks to Battery Park in Manhattan.

With more than 100 designated access points and camp sites located approximately every 15 miles, paddlers can choose from day trips or multi day journeys along the 256-mile trail.

Look forward to exploring wildlife marshes, islands, and historic sites as well as nearby hiking trails. Local outfitters, guides and equipment rentals are available to enhance your trip. hudsongreenway.ny.gov

MINI REVIEWS

In ‘Tolkien,’ the ‘Lord of the Rings’-creator goes to war

By MICHAEL PHILLIPS Chicago Tribune

Facts matter in fictionalized films about famous writers, but only as much as that word “fictionalized” can comfortably allow.

In the cliché-prone realm of the biopic it’s hard enough to make writers (or anybody else) talk, act and feel like plausibly authentic, dramatically viable human beings, pulled inward by their imaginations, pulled outward by love, or cataclysm.

Good — the recent “Colette,” for example — is rare enough. Great — Bennett Miller’s “Capote” — is infinitely rarer.

With a faint plop, “Tolkien” lands in the marshy middle ground of disappointment.

Without seeing it, the J.R.R. Tolkien estate denounced the film about the “Lord of the Rings” creator’s early years as something “they did not approve of, authorize or participate in.”

Therefore, the estate’s representatives said in a harrumph of a statement, the heirs “do not endorse it or its content in any way.” (The estate’s recent $250 million deal with Amazon, granting the rights to a “Lord of the Rings” prequel series, was a different story.)

Preceded in 1937 by “The Hobbit,” Tolkien’s “Rings” trilogy remains the benchmark for a brand of world-building high fantasy we

see playing out, in its outlandish, brutal-underbelly extremes, in the farewell season of “Game of Thrones.”

As an origin story, “Tolkien” has plenty going for it. Its freewheeling version of how John Ronald Reuel Tolkien found love early, with his fellow orphan Edith Bratt, and endured the horrors of the Battle of the Somme in World War I, offers ready-made drama. Now: How to reformulate so that it doesn’t feel ready-made?

Nicholas Hoult portrays Tolkien, a Catholic; Lilly Collins is Bratt, whose Protestant upbringing didn’t go down well with Tolkien’s guardian, Father Frances Morgan (Colm Meaney in a role more pinched than his disdainful expressions).

Morgan blamed Bratt for distracting Tolkien from his studies, and after failing an Oxford entrance exam, disqualifying him from a scholarship, the priest forbade Tolkien from any contact

with Bratt until he was 21.

He had his friends, though. A fellowship of like-minded writers and idealists was forged when Tolkien, poet Geoffrey Bache Smith (Anthony Boyle) and two others joined forces while attending school in gray, grimy Birmingham.

Screenwriters David Gleeson and Stephen Beresford imagine young Tolkien in 1916, at the Somme under fire, suffering from “trench fever” and envisioning massive, swirling dragons in the smoke and carnage. These are dragons from Tolkien’s own literary future, preying on his feverish mind.

Flashbacks to earlier days commence, as we see Tolkien and Bratt courting, having tea, playfully tossing sugar cubes onto the hats of nearby society ladies (a factual detail, for the record).

Much of “Tolkien” is strictly boys’ club Neverland, as Tolkien and his male comrades debate

their latest attempts at literary greatness. “We’ll change the world,” one says, “through the power of art!”

Tolkien did just that, but Finnish director Dome Karukoskistruggles to find a rhythm amid the welter of flashbacks. Pleasant screen company (and more than that, with the right material), Hoult and Collins lack an activating spark, though the script’s stilted quality is the real problem.

Now and then a good scene emerges: a brief encounter between Tolkien and the aghast mother of one of his colleagues, or the scholarly byplay between Tolkien’s philology mentor at Oxford (Derek Jacobi) and the man who would be king of Middle-earth.

C.S. Lewis said it: Tolkien lived “inside language,” either English or the Elvish embroidery of his own devising (which owed a lot to Finnish). The movie seems peculiarly reticent about this crucial side of the writer’s personality.

Too often, “Tolkien” lumbers up to its big moments, such as the preposterous climax involving the title character scrambling around the western front, calling out his schoolmate’s name. Fact or fiction isn’t the issue. Either way it plays like hokum.

—1:51. Rated PG-13 for some sequences of war violence. HH (out of four stars)

Compiled from news services.

Ratings are 1 to 4 stars.

“Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile” — Zac Efron and Lily Collins star in this character study of the narcissistic killer Ted Bundy, who maintained his innocence for years, and Elizabeth Kloepfer, the woman who loved and wanted so much to believe him. This docudrama-style adaptation of Kloepfer’s memoir conveys a sense of authenticity and essential truth. Crime/drama, R, 109 minutes. HHH “The Intruder” — Newcomers to a country home in Napa (Michael Ealy, Meagan Good) can’t seem to shake the menacing former owner (Dennis Quaid). Every single character in this film, including the villain, is irritatingly, maddeningly dumb. Drama/suspense, PG-13, 101 minutes.

Zero stars.

“Long Shot” — In a cheerfully raunchy, entertainingly weird slapstick comedy, a widely respected presidential candidate (Charlize Theron) begins an unlikely romance with her dorky new speechwriter (Seth Rogen). Of course he’s out of his league. That’s the launching point for the laughs.

Comedy, R, 125 minutes. HHH “Knock Down the House” — While this stirring and inspirational documentary tracks four grassroots candidates for office, all women, in the 2018 midterm elections, it’s Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who has the underdog story straight out of a “Rocky” movie. Documentary, PG, 87 minutes.

HHHH “Family” — Like a latter-day Uncle Buck, tightly wound Kate (Taylor Schilling) is stuck watching over her 11-year-old niece, an outcast who runs away to an Insane Clown Posse festival. The refreshingly unfiltered coming-of-age comedy somehow manages to be funny, sweet and sentimental — AND paints a positive picture of the Juggalos. Comedy, R, 83 minutes. HHH “Red Joan” — In a criminal waste of her talent, Dame Judi Dench plays a British matron accused of spying for the Russians in a story told mostly in flashback, with Sophie Cookson playing her younger self. It’s almost fascinating how stultifying this movie is, given the premise, but “Red Joan” is a soapy, clumsy, maddeningly simplistic mess. Spy biography, R, 101 minutes. HH “Stockholm” — Alternately farcical and intense and tragi-comic, this low-key version of “Dog Day Afternoon” is based on the 1973 bank heist and hostage crisis that gave rise to the term “Stockholm syndrome.” Ethan Hawke plays the robber, and you’d be hard-pressed to cast someone better-suited to the role of a clearly doomed but still irresistible charmer. Crime comedy, R, 92 minutes. HHH “Avengers: Endgame” — Amid all the soaring and the blasting, this superhero adventure for the ages is a genuinely moving drama involving characters we’ve come to know and love. It’s a serious contender to be the best of the Marvel series and the undisputed champion when it comes to emotional punch. Superhero drama, PG-13, 182 minutes. HHHH “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

MOVIES “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.
