MUSIC REVIEWS BECK, “Colors” — Beck has been alternating serious-sounding mellowed-out albums with self-consciously funkified beat-happy discs for more than two decades. So it was to be expected that the downcast shimmer of 2014’s “Morning Phase” — which pulled off a Kanye West-irritating Grammy album-of-theyear victory — would be followed by an uptempo affair with designs on the dance floor.

What is surprising is just how peppy and patently unironic “Colors” is. Produced by Greg Kurstin, who used to play keyboards in Beck’s band and who has gone on to chart-topping success with Adele, Pink, Kelly Clarkson and others, the 11-song

collection is the most unabashedly pop album of the postmodern-pastiche artist’s career.

“Colors” does have vaguely trippy moments, like the quasi-psychedelic “Wow,” in which the 47-year-old songwriter rather lamely trots out absurdist couplets such as “Standing on the lawn doin’ jiu jitsu / Girl in a bikini with the Lamborghini shih tzu.” But for the most part, the album’s big drum and boisterous synth sound is straightforward in its courting of radio airplay, or at least a featured slot on the summer festival circuit. It effectively demonstrates that Beck still has the skills to play in the pop marketplace, but in doing so, his identity becomes less

distinct.

— Dan DeLuca, The Philadelphia Inquirer KELLY CLARKSON, “Meaning of Life” — With her first new album for a new label since her start, the American Idol-turnedmajor-league-pop-belter doesn’t exactly challenge the existential dilemmas of existence as portended in that weighty title.

Dignaga never wrote a piece titled “Love So Soft,” like Clarkson.

What she does here is her usual righteous, pop-soul blend with an emphasis on the latter, clean thick production flips, more guitars and R&B backgrounds (than beat programmers), and a willingness to point fingers at those who wronged and righted

go, yes, Clarkson has attacked her old boss at RCA, Clive Davis, for interfering with her work before, but neither she nor any other artist I can name has done so in tender ballad form, as she does via “I Don’t Think About You.” — A.D. Amorosi, The Philadelphia Inquirer

the Nashville-born singer-composer. The result of all this is Clarkson’s most organically flowing and deeply soulful effort.

The aforementioned “Love So Soft” is a nice place to start, with its stormy weather R&B and tip of the hat to Janis Joplin while remaining modern and sleek. That Texan soul vibe carries into “Whole Lotta Woman” as it references strong, stealth women of the American South with a twang mixed into its swing.

Where right-headed women are concerned, “Go High” takes from Michelle Obama’s famous “When they go low, we go high” speech without yielding too much corn. And as far as wronged women

DARIUS RUCKER, “When Was the Last Time” — The title of Darius Rucker’s new album comes from the lead track, “For the First Time.” It’s a catchy anthem about the life-affirming pleasures of trying new things: “When was the last time you did something for the first time?”

When it comes to his music, Rucker doesn’t exactly break any new

ground here. The former Hootie and the Blowfish singer remains a solidly mainstream country artist. And parts of his fifth country album fall into the formulaic, more so than on his previous efforts.

At his best, however, Rucker continues to bring warmth and intelligence to the commercial form — from that title track to the stringskissed ballad “Another Night with You” and the set-closing “Story to Tell,” which shows that he does indeed have one. And he also shines on the pure honky-tonk of “Count the Beers” and “Straight to Hell,” joined on the latter by Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, and Charles Kelley.

— Nick Cristiano, The Philadelphia Inquirer

TRAVEL

Coastal communities worth exploring

By LYNN O’ROURKE HAYES FamilyTravel.com

Our country’s rich seafaring history provides a compelling backdrop for a visit to these port cities.

Here are five coastal communities worth exploring: 1. Port Townsend, Washington — On the northeast tip of the Olympic Peninsula and nestled on a bluff at the head of Puget Sound, Port Townsend is one of three National Victorian Seaports (along with Galveston, Texas, and Cape May, N.J.) and the only one located on the West Coast.

The whole family will enjoy the urban chic vibe while visiting galleries and shops.

KARL MERTON FERRON / BALTIMORE SUN VIA TNS

The National Aquarium in Baltimore.

Just miles from Olympic National Park, the electricity of a once bustling seaport still lingers in the salt air.

Ask about the annual wooden boat festival. enjoypt.com; woodenboat.org 2. Duluth, Minnesota — Located on Lake Superior, at the western end of the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway, Duluth is the farthest-inland freshwater seaport and one of the most significant ports in all of North America.

Learn about the region’s shipping history at Canal Park as you dine and watch giant lake carriers pass under world-famous Aeriel Lift Bridge. Take a harbor cruise, go fishing, sailing, kayaking, shopping or visit a lighthouse. visitduluth.com 3. Port Canaveral, Florida — Just 45 minutes east of Orlando, you’ll find the country’s fastest growing cruise port. It’s the departure point for sailings offered by Royal Caribbean, Disney,

Carnival and other lines bound for the Bahamas and beyond. You’ll want to visit the nearby Kennedy Space Center Visitor’s Complex, Florida’s gateway to space. Get inspired by the Shuttle Launch Experience, astronaut encounters, family overnight adventures, hands-on activities and behind-the-scenes tours. portcanaveral.com; visitspacecoast.com 4. Baltimore — Not long ago, Baltimore was an aging industrial port city. But an extraordinary renaissance turned the Inner Harbor into a family-friendly tourism destination. Visit Fort McHenry, operated by the National Park Service, which has served as the guardian of Baltimore’s harbor since the late 1700s.

It was the valiant defense of the star-shaped fort that inspired poet-lawyer Francis Scott Key to write “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

Make time for a stop at the world-renowned Baltimore

Aquarium, visit the Edgar Allen Poe museum, cruise the harbor, take in a game at Camden Yards or enjoy a crab feast. baltimore.org; www.nps. gov/fomc/index.htm 5. Cape May, N.J. — A National Historic Landmark city, this charming seaside escape was settled by whalers and fishermen in colonial times. Stretching 20 miles into the sea, the Navy has long had a presence in the area in an effort to protect American coastal shipping. Today, visitors enjoy tree-canopied streets, Victorian architecture, boutique shopping and a day at the beach. Families will also enjoy exploring nature trails, bird, whale and dolphin watching, miniature golf, fishing and biking. Free visitor’s guide available. capemaychamber.com — Lynn O’Rourke Hayes (LOHayes.com) is an author and family travel expert.

‘Thor: Ragnarok’ scores with superb action, comedy moments

By RICK BENTLEY Tribune News Service

Among the massive number of caped and cowled characters who make up the heroic stars in the Marvel Comics universe, Thor exists on the more somber end of the emotional scale. It makes sense; he’s the god of thunder and not the god of thunderous laughs.

That somberness has been a foundation for bringing Thor (Chris Hemsworth) to the big screen in both “Thor” (2011) and “Thor: The Dark World” (2013).

There were glimpses of humor — including an almost movie-killing effort by Kat Dennings in the first film — but generally, surly has surpassed silly.

That’s changed in a big way with “Thor: Ragnarok.” Thanks to the success of the comedy-heavy Marvel productions of “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Deadpool” and the unbridled direction of Taika Waititi, “Thor Ragnarok” is the funniest film in the Thor franchise and it’s funnier than most of the other comic book movies that have come from the studio. Mix in a stunning new villain in Hela, as portrayed with wicked abandoned

by Oscar winner Cate Blanchett, and enough big action scenes to fill a half-dozen movies and “Thor: Ragnarok” rocks.

MARVEL STUDIOS VIA AP

The Hulk (voiced by Mark Ruffalo), Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie and Tom Hiddleston as Loki in a scene from “Thor: Ragnarok.”

There’s no doubt this is a different movie from the opening scene where Thor is casually talking to a fellow prisoner who’s not a great conversationalist. This leads to a massive battle scene played out against the soul-pounding beat of Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song.” Eric Pearson’s screenplay blends elements of the “Planet Hulk” storyline with the “Ragnarok” tales from the Marvel Comics lines.

Putting those two storylines together is the first of many smart moves because going strictly with “Planet Hulk” would have required a complete change in direction and would not have made this one of the oddest buddy movies ever made. Thor and Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) are able to bond as they are forced to fight.

“Ragnarok” is an ancient prophecy about the destruction of Thor’s home world and the end of the

Asgard civilization.

That prophecy looks to be coming true when Thor and Loki’s (Tom Hiddleston) sister, Hela (Blanchett), the goddess of death arrives and drives the brothers out of the home for the Norse gods. Even the all-seeing Heimdall (Idris Elba) has gone into hiding.

In Marvel mythology, there are not many heroes more powerful than Thor. But even he can’t stand up to the onslaught of Hela as Blanchett plays the character with almost invincible power and nearly pure evil. It’s another chameleon-like effort by Blanchet as she transforms herself into one of the most formidable foes to face any Marvel champion.

The film is filled with first-rate performances from Hemsworth’s continued easiness at playing either a scene for laughs or with pounding action.

Hiddleston has found just the right tone for

Loki; he never lets the moviegoer forget that while he can show signs of a good heart, at his core he will always be the god of mischief. Hemsworth and Hiddleston have never been given the credit they deserve because comic-book movies are not seen as serious challenges for actors.

But both manage to slip into garish costumes, deliver heroic lines and fight giant creatures while still maintaining the humanity of the characters.

Even the addition of an underling for Hela in Skurge (Karl Urban of “Star Trek” fame) ends up being more than just another lackey. Urban plays this supporting role with multiple layers to make his personal journey one of the most interesting.

In contrast is Jeff Goldblum’s uninspired performance as the Grandmaster, the leader of the planet where Thor and Hulk are forced to battle. There’s nothing

sinister or scary about the way Goldblum plays him. It’s just another example of Goldblum not being able to stretch beyond just being himself no matter the role.

He’s is by far the weakest link in the production.

“Thor: Ragnarok” is packed from the opening sequence to the secret scene credits at the end. Waititi manages to dodge and weave his way from moments of high impact action to quieter moments that bank as much on laughs as landed punches. It would have been easy for all these elements to crash together but Waititi moves through the mirth and mayhem with great skill.

Nothing is held back. There are a lot of elements to the story that can’t be discussed, but know that this film is packed with great moments for fans of the comics. So many big moments from the pages of Thor comic are used that it looks like no one is planning on tomorrow. But, there is more to come as the heroes will be back saving the universe next year in “The Avengers: Infinity War.” Until then, seeing “Thor: Ragnarok” is like riding the world’s fastest and tallest roller coaster that keeps looping through a funhouse.

That’s a ride not to be missed so buy a ticket (or two) now.

“The Killing of a Sacred Deer” — A heart surgeon and father of two (Colin Farrell) befriends a creepy neighborhood teen (Barry Keoghan) who seems to have a hold over him. Nearly everyone speaks in a deadpan manner in this twisted, absurd and disturbing story, which never hedges its bets, never takes its foot off the gas. Horror, R, 116 minutes.

HHH “All I See Is You” — When a blind woman (Blake Lively) regains her sight, the visual stimuli that interests her most is of the sexual variety, much to the chagrin of her husband (Jason Clarke). This is a visually arresting film with two attractive and charismatic lead actors, but it’s doomed by melodramatic twists and turns, and the ridiculous behavior by nearly every major character. Drama, R, 110 minutes. H ½ “Thank You for Your Service” — Along with a number of memorable supporting players, Miles Teller is heartbreakingly effective as a U.S. sergeant returning from his third deployment to Iraq with his limbs intact but a fragile mind and psyche. This is a movie about the horrors of war and the extremely difficult and sometimes insurmountable challenges faced by the young soldiers after the fighting has ended and they’re back home. Drama, R, 109 minutes. H H H H “Wheelman” — Frequent supporting actor Frank Grillo takes the driver’s seat as an ex-con dealing with family issues as he chauffeurs mobsters from crime scenes.

‘Wonderstruck’ needs more magic

By RAFER GUZMÁN Newsda

Two stories unfold in two different time frames in “Wonderstruck,” the film version of an illustrated novel by Brian Selznick (“The Invention of Hugo Cabret”).

In 1927, a young deaf girl named Rose escapes her imperious father and flees to nearby New York City, where she hopes to be taken back by her mother, a famous actress (Julianne Moore).

In 1977, a Minnesota boy named Ben, also deaf, travels to New York as well, hoping to find the father he never knew. Cryptic clues and odd coincidences litter the paths of Rose and Ben, whose journeys mirror each other’s so closely that they magically converge.

That, at least, is what “Wonderstruck” is hoping we’ll think. Inventively directed by Todd Haynes (“Carol,” “I’m Not There”) from Selznick’s script, “Wonderstruck” checks all the right boxes for an artfully made children’s movie: narrative symmetry, snippets of poetry, moments of serendipity, well-researched New York history. Unfortunately, most of it feels contrived, and little feels genuinely magical.

That’s a shame, because “Wonderstruck” has potential. Few cities brim with excitement like New York, and the filmmakers have chosen two of its best eras. The 1977 sequences, starring a long-haired Oakes Fegley as Ben, are filmed in Kodachrome-style yellows and look impressively authentic, especially Times Square’s scuzzy storefronts

and the Port Authority’s decrepit interiors.

The 1927 story line, starring Millicent Simmonds as Rose, doesn’t feel quite as vivid, partly because the black-andwhite cinematography by Edward Lachman seems gauzy and generic.

Haynes, a wildly adventurous director, brings as many visual ideas as he can to this material. Rose’s sequences are silent, which fits both the period and the protagonist; the music,

by Carter Burwell, is intentionally on point, with pounded piano chords to match angry faces and accusatory fingers; and New York’s twinkling landscape is clearly a scale model, for reasons that eventually become clear.

None of this, though, can compensate for the stiff acting, the stilted dialogue (Selznick wrote the script from his novel) and the film’s disappointing payoff, a revelation so unexpected that it seems almost randomly generated. The title of “Wonderstruck” tells us how to feel, but the movie itself never really gives us a reason.
