Capturing cultures This free world tour just might shock you

By MARY THERESE BIEBEL mbiebel@timesleader.com

Y

ou’re a teacher in 1960s Taiwan, where students recite mandatory praise of

Chiang Kai-shek, the Chinese dictator who imprisoned your dissident father. How painful is that?

Further complicating your life is your mother’s disapproval of your wish to marry your cousin.

“In general Asian cultures emphasize family values,” said Ann PangWhite, philosophy chair at the University of Scranton, who organized a screening on Monday of the Taiwanese film “The Moon Also Rises.”

“Parents had tremendous authority over children in their choice of whom to marry, whom to date, even in the 1960s,” she said. “The women’s movement came to Taiwan in the 1980s, a little later than in the United States.”

Pang-White doesn’t want to give away the plot but said audiences can expect an “explosive” development in the mother/daughter relationship.

“The cinematography is beautiful,” she added, and the dialogue (with English subtitles) is in Mandarin Chinese as well as Japanese and two Taiwanese dialects, Min and Hakka.

Opera singer Barbara Smith Conrad is the subject of ‘When I Rise.’

All those languages point to the cultural diversity of Taiwan, said PangWhite, who arranged the Taiwanese Film and Cultural Festival because “bridging cultural differences is one See FILMS, Page 4

of my personal passions.”

The chance to sample other cultures through film doesn’t stop there.

After the Taiwanese festival, which includes “The Song of Cha-Tian Mountain” as well as talks by an author and director, the University of Scranton will offer an East German film festival in November and continLi ue a Spanish Film Club Series into spring.

Misericordia University, meanwhile, has its own Hispanic Film Series, and in conjunction with Wilkes University is planning a three-day Cultural Lens Film Festival in late October.

Transportation will be arranged between Wilkes in Wilkes-Barre and Misericordia in Dallas Township so students can attend any screenings, Misericordia multicultural student outreach coordinator Maria Cabrera said. The public is welcome to attend the films as well.

In keeping with the theme of “Music without Borders,” the festival topics range from jazz to a Hawaiian singing competition to the story of opera star Barbara Smith Conrad, whose lead role as a black Dido opposite a white Aeneas created a controversy in 1957 Texas.

All of the multicultural films are free to the public. Here are some you might want to put on your calendar this semester: ••• • “The Moon Also Rises” depicts tensions in a mother/ daughter relationship and in a sexual relationship. Taiwanese author Ang Li, on whose work the movie is based, will lead a discussion after the screening.

5:30 p.m. Monday in the DeNaples Center, University of Scranton.

• “The Song of Cha-Tian Mountain,” depicts Taiwan’s struggles as a colony of Japan during the first half of the 20th century. 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, DeNaples Center, University of Scranton. Director Yu-shan Huang will take part in a discussion afterward.

This painting by Charles J. Kovalick will be raffled off at the annual Muzzleloaders Rendezvous this weekend at The Oldest House in Laceyville.

‘I Travel Because I Have To’ is a Spanish-language film on tap for next semester at the University of Scranton.

• “Entre Nos,” a 2009 drama, co-directed by and starring Paola Mendoza, is a tribute inspired by her mother and other hardworking immigrants who seek a better life for their children. 6 p.m. Tuesday, Bevevino Library, Misericordia.

• “Return to Gorée,” Senegalese singer Youssou N’Dour visits the isle of Gorée, tracing the way jazz became “the miraculous product of the horror of slavery.” 6 p.m. Oct. 25 in Lemmond Theater, Misericordia.

Preceded at 5 by lecture with Phil Simon and Godlove Fonjweng of Wilkes University.

•“One Voice,” a documentary on the Kamehameha Schools Song Contest, in which 2000 high-school students sing Hawaiian music in four-part harmony, 5 p.m. Oct. 26, McGowan Hall, Misericordia.

• “When I Rise,” true story of opera singer Barbara Smith Conrad, who found herself at the center of a racial controversy. 7 p.m. Oct. 26, Stark Learning Center, Wilkes.

A beer bash with a twist

preludes to the kettle corn, lemonade and salty pretzels from Al Schwitz also on the list of snacks.

And for the first time in 10 years, the famous potato pancakes from past firecompany fundraisers will be back.

“People would go nuts for them, and they’d be a part of all the fundraisers,” Malloy said. “We dusted off all the old griddles, got the old recipe, and we’re bringing them back.”

The Schutts & Giggles Oompah Band, Sir Chuck Paul and Rod Price will entertain.

To top it all off, the location itself is a part of the area’s brewing history.

The Thornhurst Country Club property has ties to the Stegmaier Brewing Company, Malloy said. “It used to be a summer stay for the Stegmaier family, so we couldn’t ask for a better place to have people try all these beers.”

As Seymour and Audrey, Nick Klem and Margaret Callan provide the love interests in ‘Little Shop of Horrors.’ Ensemble singers (rear) include Elizabeth Montgomery, Ruthly Cadestin and Jamie Costello.

Oh but the ‘Horrors’

By MARY THERESE BIEBEL mbiebel@timesleader.com

IF YOU GO

In the Skid Row section of a blighted downtown, perhaps the most downtrodden person of all is a young man named Seymour who works in a flower shop.

What are some of his problems?

“He’s poor,” a student thespian from King’s College explained.

“He’s klutzy,” another said.

“He’s introverted,” added Nick Klem of South Williamsport, who plays the hapless youth in the campy musical “Little Shop of Horrors,” which opens King’s theatrical season on Thursday.

Poor, klutzy and introverted though he may be, Seymour does have some good points.

“He’s sweet … a loving, tender person,” said Meg Callan of Spring Lake, N.J., who plays Seymour’s coworker and love interest, Audrey.

Oh, and one more thing.

“He’s good with plants,” Klem said.

That last attribute may turn out to be more curse than blessing, when Seymour’s discovery about an unusual plant leads to all sorts of bloodshed.

What: ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ When: 7:30 p.m. Thursday and Oct. 5-6 and 17-19; 2 p.m. Oct. 7 Where: King’s College Theatre, Administration Building, 133 N. River St., Wilkes-Barre Tickets: $10; $5 seniors and students Reservations: 208-5825

“There are some really dark parts,” cast member Jonathan Vojtko of Wyoming said.

But it’s all in good fun.

Audiences will be treated to some fine singing, director Dave Reynolds said, as well as to the sight of the ever-growing plant, Audrey II, which is quite a character in its own right.

“I’m getting used to it,” said Devin McManus of Rutherford, N.J., indicating the long green roots attached to her feet. Along with fellow puppeteer Tom Taraszewski, she will maneuver the various incarnations of Audrey II, while Lukas Tomasacci of Shickshinny supplies Audrey II’s booming voice.

“I make it very menacing, very raspy,” Tomasacci said.

With that in mind, Microtoberfest is set for Sunday at the Thornhurst Country Club and will offer 15-plus types of beer, from big players Shock Top to the locally operated Susquehanna Brewing Company. Other breweries will include Frankenmuth, Goose Island, Hop Creek, Malloy’s Irish Ales and Yuengling.

A $10-at-the-door donation will grant access to beer and food samples and give attendees a chance to vote for a beer to win the “People’s Choice Award.”

“We’re also going to award more prizes to some of the brewers but with secret judges,” Malloy said.

“There will be random people going from place to place, trying beers and judging them, but the sellers won’t know who is who.”

But what good is an Oktoberfest without some authentic eats? The Best of the Wurst stand and Pocono Catering will provide sausages aplenty, perfect

A special new splash for Chalkfest ’12

By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com

IF YOU GO

The Susquehanna River can be as big a part of a Wyoming Valley resident’s life as anything else, but are people really paying attention to all it has to offer and how to better protect it?

Chalkfest coordinator Jill Price hopes to make that the norm, starting with influencing the young.

She makes regular trips to the River Common with her son Gus. The pair gets takeout from downtown and sits in the amphitheater to watch the sun set.

“We were traveling, and someone asked him what his favorite thing to eat was and he said ‘takeout at the river,’ ” Price said. “That’s what this is all about, exposing kids to this now so that it becomes a regular part of their lives and is something free and accessible all the time that they can make positive memories at, rather than something they just come to for events.”

For the third year, Chalkfest will take place on the River Common from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 6. This year will bring a bonus in the form of Hydromania, a hands-on program that will teach children about water.

“I come from an outdoor-education background and have watched kids become connected to the environment,” Price said. “Then it’s like everything they learn in the classroom begins to make sense. Whenever kids have the opportunity to

The largest part of the day, and the most visual, is giving children the opportunity to use chalk to express themselves on the River Common concrete. Each child who registers will receive a designated area on which to doodle, and this year, Price said, the children can turn in the number of their square for judging.

“We want to get them to understand more about the river so they can comprehend just how precious it is, how important it is to conserve and protect it,” Susan Turcmanovich of Pennsylvania American Water said.

Several water activities are planned, with some explaining the physical and chemical properties of water and others explaining the role water plays in the world as well as local life.

Demonstrations will explain acid mine drainage, common in the area, and macroinvertebrates, what Turcmanovich calls “all the bugs that live in our waterways and are indicators of good water quality.”

The value of water, in general, is something the Riverfront Parks Committee hopes to convey.

“Water is everywhere but can also be scarce,” Vinnie Cotrone, president of the Riverfront Parks Committee, said. “People are just using much more of it. Today, the average person in Pennsylvania uses anywhere from 70 or 80 to 100 gallons of water a day. One hundred years

Restaurant Review

Cheers!

Why not cross the ethnic borders?

If you think it sounds odd that a largely Eastern European dish is nothing short of a menu standout at South WilkesBarre’s newest Irish pub, you need to know more of the backstory.

Happy to help.

Once upon a time there was a place called The Barney Inn, and even though the letter L did not fall between the B and the a, the place was indeed Irish, if not entirely in menu, then in spirit. Drinking buddies gathered on Barney Street, Notre Dame was always on the telly, and a good, representative mix of food was on the menu, ethnic and traditional American. (Affordable lobster also was a specialty.)

Once upon a time there also was a place called The Golden Palace, on the other side of town, in the Parsons section of Wilkes-Barre. Odds are you celebrated someone’s wedding there or mourned someone’s passing at an after-funeral luncheon. If so, you probably had the pigs in the blanket. (Don’t let anyone tell you piggies are little sausages wrapped in pancakes. We around here know pancakes from ground meat and rice wrapped up in cabbage and dressed with a thinnish red sauce.)

Anyway, The Golden Palace eventually became A Touch of Class at the Palace, and folks associated with one or both, who also were, at least once, associated with The Barney Inn, continued to churn out delicious piggies among the catering specialties. Now those same folks are back in business at The Barney Inn again, only this time, as the new owners, they’ve changed the name to CrisNic’s Irish Pub. They’ve also changed up the menu, changed out some exterior colors and interior lighting and layout and generally given the place a nice little facelift.

But the best news of all? The piggies are on the main menu, so you don’t need to wait for a catered affair to get your fork into some.

For $10.95 here, you’ll get three chubby portions of this European specialty we’re sure the Irish must serve regularly somewhere, given the signature ingredients are right within that ethnic wheelhouse. The piggies are made by the owner’s mother – beat that – and the only surprise might be that the sauce is slightly pastier than the brothy red we’re used to.

That’s not a bad thing. In fact, we found it quite snappy.

We also found the side of mashed potatoes (instant though they were) especially tasty, and that, too, might be a credit to someone’s mom.

Once we got done loving the piggies,

Yes

Remember The Barney Inn? It’s now CrisNic’s Irish Pub, but it still sits proudly, though looking fresh and different, on Barney Street in Wilkes-Barre.

DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER

Once we got done loving the piggies, we appreciated the pleasant mix of Irish offerings, though all were not available. Irish nachos, yes.

Dublin Coddle, no. we appreciated the pleasant mix of Irish offerings, though all were not available when we visited. Irish nachos, yes. A nifty-sounding Dublin Coddle, no. Not yet anyway.

The Irish nachos were homemade potato chips dressed in cheese sauce from a can – but good cheese sauce from a can – and bacon, which was precooked and the only minor letdown.

While dreaming of a Dublin Coddle, we opted to try some classics for now.

First up? A cheesesteak, so we might compare CrisNic’s take to a Barney Inn specialty.

Tough call. The Barney Inn was wellknown for a huge sandwich pretty much drowning in butter, and you could mix the chicken and beef on the same bun.

Here you’ll get a huge sandwich chock full of diced chicken or beef and generous with the cheese (and the roll will be great, too), but all that butter is now absent, which isn’t a bad thing from a health perspective. Either way, it’s a guilty pleasure, but this version delivers a tad less.

A huge $8.95 cheeseburger also was notable for its hand-formed, fresh appeal.

The only letdown came on the side: Advertised sweet-potato waffle fries (how pleasantly different) were actually large sweet-potato wedge cuts. The explanation was the wrong potato had been delivered, but the waffle fries were indeed a coming-soon feature.

A choice of sliders also sounded nice.

Four tiny corned-beef sandwiches –

there’s that Irish appeal again – looked adorable. Our only surprise? They weren’t warm sandwiches with melted cheese. When asked, the staff quickly rectified that. We’d like to suggest these just automatically come hot and melty for a more authentic slider experience.

Bar-pie pizza was popular around us and drew raves from customers with whom we inquired. It’s Old Forge-style rectangular, cheesy and light. If when you think pizza you think wings, yeah, you can get those, too, but I happen to like the chicken here in finger form. A “basket” comes on an oval plate, with choice of wing sauce. Butter-garlic and Old Bay did the crispy tenders justice, andhand-cutfrieson thesidewereappreciated. (Hand-cut is where it’s at. Frozen fries anyone can do any time.)

But if it’s dinner-dinner you’re into, you’ll have options as well. A $16.95 lobster tail, pure white and tender enough, wasn’t a bombshell but was done nicely for the price. It headed a list that also included chicken, beef and pasta. Note to chicken fans: Most of the white meats here are standalone, with potato and vegetable, not served over pasta. This is no Italian restaurant.

Then there’s dessert. Not to be missed, our server said. After confirming the options were homemade, we went for it. A $3.50 passed-around banana cake brought the love, though I was quite pleased with a fudgy chocolate cake with a star-quality sauce.

We walked away sated. Sure, also probably said we’d never eat again, but we know how that goes.

We’ll be back. Especially when those Irish specialties make their appearance.

I have a feeling a Dublin Coddle and I are meant to be.

Limoncello is a popular Italian liqueur made from lemon zests steeped in grain alcohol. Pete Aiello, owner of Simply Homebrew in Drums, wanted to put a twist on it.

“Who doesn’t love chocolate?” he said of the chocolate-cello recipe he has used time and again.

The recipe is simple, combining half and half, grain alcohol, sugar and chocolate to produce a liqueur that has enough kick without overwhelming and has the consistency of what can only be described as well-mixed cake batter.

“Currently you can’t buy grain alcohol in the state of Pennsylvania,” Aiello said. “If you can’t get any from New York, New Jersey, or Delaware, 100-proof vodka will do just fine as a substitute.”

The procedure is just as simple as the ingredients and involves taking time to melt chocolate and stir constantly. Aiello said the booze will hold for quite some time as long as it’s refrigerated; he’s kept a bottle for nearly two months.

The recipe can be tweaked to make many different kinds of “cellos.” For the melting, Aiello recommends buying the chocolate wafers that come in various colors and can be found at Michael’s craft store.

“The wafers come in a bunch of different colors, and if you couple that with all the different flavorings and extracts McCormick makes, you can really use your imagination and do anything,” he said.

For example, replacing the chocolate wafers with white ones and adding a 1-ounce bottle of McCormick coconut flavoring makes coconut limoncello. Yellow wafers and banana extract make banana-cello, and orange wafers and orange extract make orange-cello.

••• CHOCOLATE CELLO Recipe by: Pete Aiello, owner of Simply Homebrew in Drums, 788-2311.

Ingredients: • ½ cup grain alcohol (more or less to taste) • 4 ¼ cups half and half • 18 ounces of chocolate • 2 cups sugar Directions: Melt chocolate in a bowl over simmering water or in a double boiler. Stir until smooth and creamy. Add sugar, a little at a time, and mix well. In another pan warm the half and half, but do not boil. Mix the chocolate/sugar mixture with the warmed half and half until very smooth, about five to 10 minutes. Add the grain and mix well.

Bottle and keep refrigerated.

No, that’s not a bottle of chocolate milk, even though it looks just as creamy and delicious. It’s a bottle of homemade chocolate-cello, a boozy mix concocted by Pete Aiello, owner of Simply Homebrew.

Gypsy strings attached IF YOU GO

By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com

A traveling band of gypsies is a real thing. Look no further than the Suzuki School for Strings Benefit Concert on Sunday.

The gypsy/punk/cabaret band This Way to the Egress, of the Lehigh Valley, will offer afternoon instrument workshops for children, then perform at the Jazz Café the same night.

Rachel Galassi, a teacher at Suzuki, said the benefit is a way for the school, now in its new location next to the River Street Jazz Café in Plains Township, to show itself to the community.

Preach Freedom of Rusted Root will offer a drum workshop, and a free pasta dinner will be provided later in the night.

Tribes Duo and The Tommy Guns Band also will perform.

Galassi’s brother Taylor, who sings and plays accordion and cello for Egress, will be joined by bandmate Sara Shown.

Egress is a Vaudeville act of costumed musicians, dancers, comedians and the occasional sideshow or burlesque performer. We chatted with Taylor: ••• Q: How did you even get into

this type of music?

A: Someone introduced me to the genre. Yes, there is a genre; we’re not the only ones. I heard a band called Gogol Bordello and thought they were great, so I started looking up the gypsypunk genre and fell in love.

••• Q: How important is the theatrical aspect of the group?

A: I’ve actually been getting on everyone lately about picking a character to be on stage. We’re very theatrical. I feel like if there’s a lot of energy on stage then people will see you having fun and have fun themselves.

••• Q: What is audience reception like for such a niche band?

A: We get a lot of people …

that come up to us and say, “This is amazing, thank you so much; we’ve never seen this before.”

On the other side, we are often met with people who don’t clap right away, because they’re not even sure what we just did.

••• Local and original music is getting another boost with the coming of Internet radio station Rok Out Radio, available on www.rokoutradio.com.

Lucia Peregrim, of local charity Sound for Scoliosis, started the online station in February to promote original, local music as well as indie and unsigned artists around the world. The station broadcasts live events, interviews and podcasts.

“There’s so much undiscovered talent out there,” she said.

Don’t overthink this brain game

Rebel Wilson portrays Fat Amy in a scene from the farcical ’Pitch Perfect.’

‘Pitch Perfect’ is comically on key

By ROGER MOORE McClatchy-Tribune News Service

IF YOU GO

Who knew there was this much fun left in glee clubs so long after “Glee” jumped the shark?

“PitchPerfect”isafrothy,funny, dizzy and derivative farce set in the competitive world of college a cappella groups — “Glee” without the soap opera or the sex but stuffed with comic caricatures, hilarious one-liners and blessed with a cast that’s up to a little song-anddance.

Sweet little Anna Kendrick, usually cast as too-young /in-overher-head (“Up in the Air,” “What to Expect When You’re Expecting”) plays the cynical, rebellious would-be DJ and record producer who heads to Barden College at her dad’s insistence. She hooks up with the Barden Bellas, a hypercompetitive chorus that lives for the chance to take down a cappella’s national collegiate champs, the frat-boyish nerds of “Treble Makers.”

The Bellas don sexy stewardess uniforms — circa1966 — and sing dated pop tunes in close harmony set to fetching choreography. Imperious Aubrey (Anna Camp) and perky Chloe (Brittany Snow) run the skinny-girls-on-parade show.

But this year’s version of The

What: “Pitch Perfect” ★★ 1/2 Starring: Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Brittany Snow, Skylar Austin, John Michael Higgins, Elizabeth Banks Directed by: Jason Moore Running time: 111 minutes Rated: PG-13 for sexual material, language and drug references

Bellas has a black lesbian belter (Ester Dean), an oversexed bombshell (Alexis Knapp), a disturbed, whisper-voicedAsiancoed(comic Hana Mae Lee) and Fat Amy, a big, blowsy Tasmanian devil with “an Orthodox Jew pony-tail” rendered in boisterous strokes by Rebel Wilson.

Beca (Kendrick), borderline Goth girl, fan of hip hop and mistress of her own remixes, doesn’t exactly fit in with these misfits.

There are auditions, rehearsals (done in goofy, well-cut montages), contests and a riff-off, where the various groups spontaneously tear through the modern pop catalog, from Kelly Clarkson to Bruno Mars.

The “big contest” formula means that this is a lot like every recent music or dance film, from “Drumline” to “You Got Served.”

And it’s so much like “Glee!” they even insert a “Glee” joke or two, casting the bespectacled Christopher Mintz-Plasse in a big cameo that’s plainly meant to remind us of the kid in the wheelchair from the TV show.

But it’s not the plot or even the singing that sells “Pitch Perfect.”

Writer Kay Cannon and her cast pepper this thing with zingers. It’s all “a cappella” puns — “a ca-people” mixed up in “a cappolitics” where a girl could get “pitch slapped.”

There’s even a broadcast team for the contests, an add-on that produces double entendres and belly-yuks from John Michael Higgins and Elizabeth Banks as two aged ex-gleeks with many a snarky take on today’s singers.

The romance side of things (Skylar Astin plays Beca’s love interest) is a non-starter, and the love interest’s magician/ “Star Wars” freak roommate (Ben Platt) is plainly an afterthought. The villainous singer Bumper (Adam DeVine) may get sued for ripping off Jack Black’s shtick and demeanor.

But Kendrick never lets Beca become a “rebel girl” cliche. And Rebel Wilson never lets “Pitch Perfect” go more than a few bars between laughs.

In 2009, it looked as if we might be on the cusp of a golden age of science fiction in TV and film. “Battlestar Galactica” was wrapping up its award-winning, five-year run, and the big-screen Star Trek reboot proved a surprisingly enjoyable return to form.

Two other movies, “Moon” and “District 9,” reminded viewers that science fiction can be about heart and humanity, not just hardware.

That new dawn proved elusive though, as there hasn’t been much lately for those who crave some brain power along with their effects-driven firepower.

Now comes “Looper,” the timetravel tease from indie director/ writer Rian Johnson (“Brick,” “The Brothers Bloom”) that is an immensely fun yet thought-provoking ride.

The ubiquitous Joseph Gordon-Levitt is Joe, a hit man living 30 years in the future whose job it is to execute other criminals sent through a time machine from his future. He erases their past, and what would have been their future ceases to exist. Case closed.

But then he comes face to face with his older self (Bruce Willis), who is sent back to be disposed of. This is where “Looper” is most intriguing: Willis and Gordon-Levitt engage in a tense stand-off in which they talk about what was, what will be and what may never be.

Where “Looper” begins to tee-

Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays ’Joe,’ a hit man living 30 years in the future whose job it is to execute other criminals sent through a time machine from his future.

IF YOU GO What: “Looper” ★★★★ Starring: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt Directed by: Rian Johnson Rated: R for strong violence, strong language, nudity/sexuality, some drug use Running time: 118 minutes

ter off the track is when it sacrifices this one-on-one intensity for special effects, a potential love interest (Emily Blunt), and a plot involving telekinesis. (Though, to be fair, their inclusion means we get one really cool death scene.) And, as with most timetravel sagas, you can’t think about the details of how this world works too much – or about Gordon-Levitt’s Willis-mimicking makeover – without giving yourself a migraine.

Still, there’s enough here to make you think maybe that promised golden age hasn’t been derailed, just delayed.

As Dracula and Johnnystein, Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg make an unsteady voice pair in ‘Hotel Transylvania.’

‘TRANSYLVANIA’ is scarily unfunny

his wing.

While director Tartakovsky’s retro-pop sensibilities served Cartoon Network well with the likes of “Dexter’s Laboratory,” “The Powerpuff Girls” and “Samurai Jack,” and “Hotel Transylvania” has an undeniable visually zippy style, the ghost of a script by Baynham and Smigel provides him with very little of substance.

For the most part, there’s just a lot of dashing about the hotel’s cavernous hallways as the assembled voice cast attempts to lend some personality to the underdeveloped characters.

Ironically, the scattered enterprise exhibits signs of life when the characters leave the confines of the hotel, but that hint of something more arrives too late in the game.

And while those 3-D glasses really bring nothing to the party, Mark Mothersbaugh’s lively score adds a ghoulish cool to the otherwise uninspired proceedings.

the crime.

But flashbacks – Mank’s specialty – reveal a much different story.

“A Woman’s Secret,” based on a 1946 novel called “Mortgage on Life’ by Vicki Baum, never seems to know what story it’s telling. The relationship between O’Hara and Grahame should have been at the heart of the drama. Instead, Mankiewicz bizarrely gives co-star Melvyn Douglas the most screen time even though Douglas is, at best, peripheral to the action.

Warner Archive gets a round of applause for finally making the rare film available for home viewing. But “A Woman’s Secret” is for Ray and Mankiewicz completists only.

Amy Longsdorf writes about DVD and Blu-Ray releases with local connections.

New on DVD This week’s DVD releases include some popular crime-fighting teams.

“THE AVENGERS,” GRADE A: Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and the rest of the gang come together to fight Loki and an alien invasion. Chris Hemsworth and Jeremy Renner star. The real hero of “The Avengers” is not Iron Man, Thor or even Nick Fury. It’s Joss Whedon. The film’s director managed to pull off the Herculean task of blending four huge Marvel Comics film franchises to give each time to shine individually and as a group.

“AMERICAN HORROR STORY: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON,” GRADE A: The creative team behind “Nip/Tuck” and “Glee” have taken aim at reinventing the family dramas with “American Horror Story.” The FX series slips between sadomasochism and the supernatural to examine the horrors of everyday life from adultery to a weak economy.

“RESCUE ME: THE COMPLETE SERIES,” GRADE A-: Denis Leary’s cable series about the strange characters who inhabit a New York firehouse is one of the most underappreciated series to air on TV. Also new: “BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, PART 1”: Next entry in the “DC Universe Animated Original Movies” series.

LOS ANGELES — Despite the proven talents of first-time feature director Genndy Tartakovsky (“Dexter’s Laboratory”), writers Peter Baynham (“Arthur Christmas”) and “SNL” vet Robert Smigel, and a voice cast headed by Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg, the collaboration falls flat virtually from the get-go, serving up half-hearted sight gags that have a habit of landing with an ominous thud.

Assuming an unsteady Transylvanian accent which, like his bat wings, tends to flit in and out of the picture, Sandler’s overprotective daddy Dracula is having trouble shielding his daughter Mavis (Selena Gomez) from outside elements on the eve of her 118th birthday.

Determined to shut himself off from those elements after the death of his wife a century or so earlier at the hands of an angry mob, Dracula had constructed a refuge of an exclusive resort where he and his monstrous ilk could feel free to be themselves.

But when a party-crasher turns up in the form of Jonathan (Samberg), a slacker human backpacker who catches Mavis’ eye, the Count finds it increasingly difficult to keep her under

IF YOU GO

Eight years after winning an Oscar for co-writing “Citizen Kane” with Orson Welles, the Wilkes-Barre-reared Herman Mankiewicz scripted and produced “A Woman’s Secret” (1949, Warner Archive, unrated, $25), a film noir directed by Nicholas Ray, the genius behind “Rebel Without A Cause,” “Bigger Than Life” and “The Lusty Men.” Given its pedigree, “A Woman’s Secret” should be a stunner, right? Wrong.

At the very least, the film looks great. With help from cinematographer George E. Diskant, Ray moves his actors in and out of shadows, a visual trick that befits this strange tale that could be seen as a precursor to “All About Eve,” which was written and directed by Herman Mankiewicz’s younger brother Joseph.

In one of the first scenes of the film, a torch singer (Gloria Grahame) is shot and nearly killed, seemingly by her jealous mentor (Maureen O’Hara), who quickly confesses to

A. In late July, Steines ended a 17-year run with the show, eight of those as a host. Beginning Oct. 1, he will be cohosting a new weekday series, “Home & Family,” on the Hallmark Channel. Sharing the hosting duties will be Paige Davis of “Trading Spaces” fame.

Q. We really, really enjoy Aaron Sorkin’s “Network News” — the best program since “West Wing.” How have the ratings been? Will we get another season?

A. “The Newsroom,” Sorkin’s series for HBO, will be back in 2013. Although the reaction to the show has been mixed, the network ordered a second season early in the drama’s first-season run.

Man’s inappropriate rear attacks require frontal approach Dear Abby: I have been married for 35 years. We have one daughter.

My husband has this “thing” about grabbing other women’s behinds. He hugs them and then goes in for a grab. It hurts my feelings and I have told him so, but he still does it.

Men have told me they don’t want him touching their wives this way. Others have said it’s disrespectful to me. He says he will try to stop doing it. Try?

DEAR ABBY ADVICE That doesn’t set well with me.

What do you think about this? Am I overreacting? After all these years, I just don’t know what to think.

— Hands Off in Rochester, N.Y. Dear Hands Off: I agree that pinching other women’s bottoms is disrespectful. It appears you have spent 35 years mar-

ried to an unrepentant lecher.

I’d think that by now he would have trouble hugging any woman twice if she saw him with arms outstretched.

Because you can’t convince your husband to change his ways, try this: When a man complains about your husband’s misbehavior, tell him he should deliver that message directly to your spouse. Perhaps that will get the point across.

Dear Abby: I love my co-workers, but several of them have an aggravating habit of walking

GOREN BRIDGE

into my office, uninvited, while I’m eating lunch at my desk.

They then proceed to tell me their latest news, joke or war story.

Abby, those of us who eat at our desks do it so we can keep working and be ready to respond to work-related contacts as they come in, NOT to socialize. Besides, isn’t it just as rude to interrupt someone while they’re eating as it is while they’re talking? I wish my beloved co-workers would save it for the water cooler.

THE GUIDE

Dear Sandwiched: I don’t think it’s rude. But because YOU do, it’s up to you to tell your well-meaning co-workers that when you’re working at your desk, you’d prefer not to be interrupted because it breaks your concentration. If you speak up nicely, I’m sure they won’t love you any less.
