Dinosaurs of all sorts are part of the ‘ice age’ taking place in Lakeville.

By MARY THERESE BIEBEL mbiebel@timesleader.com

his weekend you can straddle Batman’s motorcycle, pet a dinosaur or sit like Caesar on a throne that looks like it belongs in the Coliseum. • You can pretend to steer Fred Flintstone’s car, too. Or maybe give Thor a hug. Or pose with Aquaman, the Silver Surfer or The Riddler. • Just so you know, all these entities will be crafted from ice. • To find the sparkling “Sub-Zero Superheroes,” as well as the villains who try to thwart them at every turn, head to the Clarks Summit Festival of Ice. Through Monday you can roam the downtown streets and look for Ironman, Captain America, Wonder Woman, Cyclops, Poison Ivy, even Lois Lane and Clark Kent. If that sounds like the line-up from your favorite comic books, you’re in luck. A comic convention is set for10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday at the Clarks Summit Elementary School, and there will be a Heroes and Subs Superhero Luncheon from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday at the Ramada Hotel.

said. “But ice is the magic. Ice is the anchor, and ice is the star.” From noon to 7 p.m. today and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday you can watch artists turn blocks of ice into intricate sculptures, and some pre-made sculptures will be set up this afternoon, Laura Ancherani of the Abington Business and Professional Association said.

you’ll find all sorts of dinosaurs, including one that is 50 feet long and stands guard along the big, frozen sliding board. Your visit to Lakeville can be an educational one, staffer Janine Crouthamel said. Stop in the Ice Harvest Museum and you’ll learn how ice from local lakes kept things cold in the days before refrigeration. “They had some really cool stuff, like an ice plow a horse would pull across the ice. A man would sit on the back to give it ballast, and it would cut a groove about 3 inches deep into the ice. That was like a template, and they would use saws to cut deeper.” If you’re closer to Drums than to the Poconos, you can visit Damenti’s Restaurant on Route 309 and see the icy Medusa heads,

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, a couple of popular bands might find themselves quite flattered by the musicians who pay homage to them for a living and are playing shows throughout this weekend. During the double Mauch Chunk Opera House shows tonight and tomorrow, you may have to do a double take several times. No, that’s not Stevie Nicks, just Kathy Phillips, a woman who looks a lot like the iconic singer. She heads up Tusk, a Fleetwood Mac tribute band rounded out by Scott McDonald (guitar, vocals), Kim Williams (keys, vocals), Randy Artiglere (bass) and Tom Nelson (drums). Though the group tours as a tribute band, the quintet has played together for more than 25 years in various combinations and styles, offering both cover and original acts. For the Opera House performances, singer-songwriter Jeffrey Gaines will join the entourage. ••• Tomorrow night will bring a different kind of tribute at the River Street Jazz Café in Plains Township. Members of local acts Village Idiots, Cabinet and Sunyata will come together – the show is set for 10 p.m. – for “Before the Flood,” and tribute to Bob Dylan and The Band. “Before the Flood” is a live album that was released in June of 1974 by Bob Dylan and The Band.

Mehitabel the alley cat has given birth to another litter and stowed them in a trash can. “Archy, get your feelers out of there,” she snaps as a friendly little cockroach tries to admire the kittens. Suddenly a tomcat, known as Big Bill, swaggers across the stage. “All tail and no brain,” as Mehitabel describes him, he can barely comprehend he’s the father. Archy tries to explain these facts of life, but Big Bill is in no mood to listen. He saunters away with a “See ya around” to the mother of his children.

Movie Amy

‘King’ at his most powerful

Did you know that one of the most powerful movies ever made about the civil-rights movement has strong ties to Wilkes-Barre? “King: A Filmed Record … Montgomery To Memphis”(1970, Kino, unrated, $35) chronicles Martin Luther King from the Montgomery bus boycott of 1955 to his assassination in Memphis in 1968. Oscar-nominated as Best Documentary in 1970, “King” was produced by Ely Landau and his wife, Wilkes-Barre native Edythe “Edie” Rein, and co-directed by Sidney Lumet and Joseph L. Mankiewicz, also a WilkesBarre native. Eschewing the use of voice-over narration, “King” presents little-seen footage of marches, rallies and speeches as well as readings by “guests” such as Harry Belafonte, Burt Lancaster, Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward “King” premiered as a special “one-time-only event” on March 24, 1970, in more than 600 theaters throughout the United States. The film, which ran three hours, raised more than $3 million for the benefit of the Martin Luther King Jr. Special Fund. While a 90-minute version has circulated in the years since, the original, unedited, three-hour version of the film has rarely been shown. After it was admitted into the National Film Registry in 1999, the documentary underwent a Library of Congress remastering from the 35mm preservation negative. Now on DVD, “King” has been fully restored to its original running time. From the raw footage of King’s electrifying speeches to scenes of civil-rights activists responding to violence with passive resistance, “King” is among the most inspiring docs ever made. Amy Longsdorf writes about DVD and Blu-Ray releases with local connections.

IF YOU GO

oung love, so sorely tested by vampirism and zombification in “Twilight” and “Warm Bodies,” finds the road to romance sunnier in “Beautiful Creatures,” in which two teens pair up despite the fact that one of them is a witch in training. The one-liners drawl from the lips of the South Carolina characters like Spanish moss dripping from the oaks in a script so witty it attracted Oscar winners Emma Thompson and Jeremy Irons and Oscar nominee Viola Davis in supporting roles. Alden Ehrenreich gives a breakout performance as Ethan, a dreamer and square peg in the round hole of rural Gatlin, S.C. He’s jilted the pretty but less bookish and more fundamentalist Emily (Zoey Deutch) but open to the

What: “Beautiful Creatures” ★★★ Starring: Alice Englert, Alden Ehrenreich, Emma Thompson, Jeremy Irons, Viola Davis, Emmy Rossum Directed by: Richard LaGravenese Running time: 117 minutes Rated: PG-13 for violence, scary images and sexual material

charms of the “new girl,” a ravenhaired vision who appeared to him in dreams. Lena (Alice Englert) is a 15year-old Southern Gothic Goth Girl – dark and mysterious, an aspiring poetess with numbers tattooed on one hand and a sullen sarcasm that is catnip to Ethan. Of course they’re fated to be together. And the fact that she’s a witch and that only he’s supposed to know? That just doubles down on the doomed-love/forbidden-love thing.

Veteran writer-director Richard LaGravenese (“Water for Elephants,” “Freedom Writers”) boiled the Kami Garcia-Margaret Stohl novel down to characters, sharp dialogue and a palpable sense of place. The story arc has few surprises. We can guess the climax in the opening scenes and figure out the role the mysterious Amma and bombshell witch-coven cousin Ridley (Emmy Rossum), tarted up like a lingerie model, will play in that finale. But there’s something so delicious when Brits such as Thompson and Irons sink their fangs into Deep South dialect. The film bogs down in the usual attempts at reinventing witchcraft, but Ehrenreich makes the romantic longing believable enough for us to root for these impassioned teens, even if we know what 17-year-old Ethan doesn’t – “15 will get you 20.”

Also Opening What: “A Good Day To Die Hard” ★ 1/2 Starring: Bruce Willis, Jai Courtney, Sebastian Koch Directed by: John Moore Genre: Action/crime thriller Plot summary: Yeah, Happy Valentine’s Day, Mother Russia. But is it “A Good Day to Die Hard,” a good time to be had by all as Bruce Willis takes his fifth shot at “shootin’ all the scumbags?” Naaah. Loud and tedious, “Die Hard” 5 is a

shaky-cam/ Sensurround blast of bullets and bombs, digital explosions and deathdefying feats of defying death. Not a decent villain or catchphrase in it, it’s an attempt to CIA-up the New York-coptakes-on-the-world’s-terrorists franchise. And it doesn’t work. Running time: 97 minutes Rated: R for violence and language Source: IMDB ••• What: “Escape from Planet Earth” Starring: Brendan Fraser, Sarah Jessica

Parker, Jessica Alba, Rob Corddry Directed by: Cal Brunker Genre: Animation/Adventure/Comedy Plot summary: The story takes place on planet Baab, where admired astronaut Scorch Supernova (Fraser) is a national hero to the blue alien population. A master of daring rescues, Scorch pulls off astonishing feats with the quiet aid of his nerdy brother, Gary (Corddry), head of mission control at BASA Running time: 95 minutes Rated: PG for action and mild rude humor Source: IMDB

NEW

DVD

Films that earned Oscar attention top this week’s new DVD releases. “SKYFALL,” GRADE B-PLUS: Daniel Craig takes his third turn at playing 007 in “Skyfall” (a James Bond movie title that actually makes sense). It’s not the world that’s in danger this time; the challenge hits closer to home as MI-6 comes under attack. Bond must stop the mysterious Silva (Javier Bardem) before he destroys the British spy agency. James Bond films usually bring a whiteknuckle opening action sequence, a sexy credits montage, a world-threatening event, beautiful locations, cool gadgets, the exotic Bond woman and a superb villain. “Skyfall” has five of the seven. It also has five Oscar nominations, including for cinematography, music (original score) and music (original song). “THE SESSIONS,” GRADE A-MINUS: A man (John Hawkes) in an iron lung contacts a sex surrogate (Helen Hunt). These are the kind of acting roles the Oscar voters love to honor, and Hunt picked up a nod in the supportingactress category. It’s a worthy nomination because Hunt turns in the best performance of her career. She’s playing a woman secure enough of herself to engage in the most personal of acts with a stranger, but not so clinical as to hide the painful realities that haunt her own life. Hawkes is magnificent, despite being stripped of almost all his acting tools. All he has is his very expressive face and the emotion he brings to every word of dialogue to create a performance that will emotionally connect with anyone who sees it. ••• ALSO NEW ON DVD: “THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER”: Emma Watson stars in this bittersweet coming-of-age drama. “SILENT HILL: REVELATION”: A young girl and her father remain on the run from an evil force. “THE MAN WITH THE IRON FISTS”: A blacksmith must defend his village. “BULLY”: Documentary that looks at school bullies.

he movies based on the novels of Nicholas Sparks always emphasize the simple pleasures. A quiet locale, a leisurely stroll down the beach, a romance that doesn’t begin in a bar and end in bed that same night. Those simple pleasures are in the forefront of “Safe Haven,” another sweetly treacly tale from the “beach book” author who gave us “The Notebook,” “Dear John” and “The Last Song.” There’s another beach town - sleepy, bucolic Southport, N.C. – another pair of lovers, each with his (Josh Duhamel) or her (Julianne Hough) “big secrets.” And as they court, the Nebras- IF YOU GO ka native Sparks What: “Safe Haven” ★★ serves up more of Starring: Julianne the homey homiHough, Josh Duhalies he’s picked up, mel, Cobie Smulders, David Lyons studying the Directed by: Lasse South.

But Katie’s reading this helpfulness – he gives her an old bike to get to her job at the seafood joint – Yankeewrong. “If you’re goin’ to live South of the MasonDixon line, honey, people GIVE you stuff.” Katie learns to spear-fish flounder, to cope with critters in the shack she rents in the woods and to accept those unrequested gifts. About the beach: “Take a lot of pictures. You’ll only regret the ones you didn’t take.” There’s an overly nosy/ overly friendly

neighbor (Cobie Smulders) and a twinkly old uncle (Red West) to prod Alex into approaching the pretty new waitress in town. And a couple of cute kids eyeball Katie, one hoping she’ll replace her dead mom, the other fearing that same thing. Director Lasse Hallstrom (“Salmon Fishing in the Yemen,” “Chocolat”) goes to some pains to hide each character’s secrets. The Boston cop (David Lyons) obsessed with tracking down Katie uses more police work than common sense to find her, and we glimpse the late wife’s attic office that Alex rarely visits. Hallstrom and his screenwriters may be stuck with Sparks’ formula, but they take advantage of the geography, the leads and a couple of homespun supporting players – Robin Mullins is a wonderfully folksy owner of the seaside seafood shack. The offhandedly charming Duhamel is

more seasoned and better at this sort of laidback slow-burn love than the still-green Hough, who seems too young for somebody with this much baggage. She is never more than adequate. Keira Knightley was originally talked up for the part, and that would have made a much more interesting couple. Smulders (“How I Met Your Mother”) is playing a plot device and nothing more. It’s a movie for people who nod their heads at the revelation that “Life is full of second chances.” There’s tragedy and heartbreak, in the past and possibly in the future and a story that involves no heavy lifting – few surprises and so “safe” there’s nothing that anybody would consider “edgy.” From “Message in a Bottle” to “Nights in Rodanthe,” that’s a formula that’s made Sparks rich. But some of us want more from our big-screen romances, especially a film released on Valentine’s Day.

JUMBLE

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

BY MICHAEL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

Fox has canceled ‘The Mob Doctor’ Q. Just wondering if “The Mob Doctor” is history? Really got hooked on it. A. You should probably undo that hook. Fox ordered 13 episodes and, before all those had aired, decided not to order any more. The last episode aired on Jan. 7. Q. I remember a television show set in Algeria during that country’s fight for independence from the French (1954 to 1962). Van Heflin (I think) was a French officer agonized by the use of torture. I have the impression the show was one of those in one of the prestige series: “Omnibus” or “Playhouse 90.” IMDB mentions “Playhouse 90’s” “The Cruel Day” with Van Heflin but there is not a plot summary. I’d like to see if the program is available in any medium.

PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION

A. You were on the right track about the production. “The Cruel Day,” which aired on Playhouse 90 in 1960, “concerns the moral dilemma that a French captain faces in colonial Algeria,” according to the Paley Center for Media’s website; that dilemma included deciding whether to torture a boy who may have information about the rebels behind a series of bombings. The cast included Heflin, Raymond Massey, Cliff Robertson and Peter Lorre; Reginald Rose (“12 Angry Men,” “The Defenders”) wrote the script and Franklin Schaffner (“Patton,” the original “Planet of the Apes”) directed. But I do not know of a release of it on home video. Do you have a question or comment for the mailbag?

I have seen kids pull up expensive flowers on other graves and “take them to Mommy.” Naturally, the family who bought the flowers come back a few days later and accuses US of trashing them.

RESTAURANT REVIEW: J OS E P H ’S WHY WE WENT: Looking for somewhere new and different, something a bit off our traditional beaten path. STYLE OF FOOD: American with lots of Italian, lots of homestyle. DRESS AND DÉCOR: Dress is casual. Décor is charming, with no detail overlooked in a renovation unveiled some months ago. Faux brick and stone walls are artfully done, and the interior sports multiple fireplaces as well as an in-wall waterfall. The ceilings are a lovely, copper-colored work at least imitating pressed tin. Even the bathrooms were lovingly renovated. Overhead Italian music sets a peaceful mood. SERVICE: Friendly, fairly quick. Personable staff. MUST-TRY DISHES: Homemade homestyle meatloaf was a not-too-thick, not-too thin showcase for a fine house gravy, which was smooth but beefy and flavorful. Not at all pasty, it was worth the .75 cent upcharge to have it on the accompanying mashed potatoes as well. The only thing that would have made the meatloaf so much better? More heat. Not spice – visible red peppers were nice to look at and taste – but a hotter temperature. And about those potatoes: They did have the classic instant undertones but had obviously been kicked up a bit, like any improvising mom would do. A few herbs, for example, had been thrown in for presentation as well as a semihomemade taste. A chicken Francaise, the standard dish by which a regular guest judges all restaurants, was a true winner, even though our taster had a few textural issues with what innocently appeared to be a garnish of garlic and lemon zest. He neatly

pushed all that to the side, though, then heaped praise upon his meal. He also requested an inexpensive order of homemade pierogies for a different potato side than mashed. They were plump and loaded with filling, topped with onion heaps that were mostly caramelized. Onion fans would appreciate the strong flavor they imparted; onion enemies should request a hold. OTHER FARE: A Tour of Italy, with chicken Parmesan, eggplant and manicotti was perhaps the heartiest meal on the menu, filling the plate end to end. Our chicken man’s only observation is that he awards extra points when

him the quality was still there. Soups – sausage and rice and Italian wedding at the time – were tasty starters that could have been excellent if only they were, again, hotter. The lukewarm temps dialed down the enjoyment a notch, as did a dearth of actual sausage in the soup. Our server quickly rectified that situaJoseph’s Restaurant in the Blakely borough of Peckville has undergone an extensive renovation in the past several months and now boasts a completely overhauled exterior and interior to complement its heavily Italian menu.
