Hildy Morgan from the Dietrich Theater in Tunkhannock said there were many good movies this Oscar season, some of them ‘separated by a hairsbreadth’ of quality.
OSCAR OPINIONS
Local film fanatics pick their favorites for the Academy Awards

ow could the Academy nominate “Argo” but not director Ben Affleck?
Jennifer Lawrence was fantastic in “Sil-
ver Linings,” wasn’t she? “D’Jango Unchained” was a great homage to Westerns. You’ll get a chance to see “Amour” in April, when it comes to the Dietrich Theater. And, did you hear that Daniel Day-Lewis entered the character of “Lincoln” and never left it until the filming was

tivals, believes “best picture” will go to “Lincoln.” Still, she loved “Argo” enough to see it twice – and she’s somewhat miffed about the Academy’s failure to nominate Affleck as best director. “I have no idea why the Academy chose to snub him,” she said. “The awards are so dumb half the time. How can you nominate such a great movie and not nominate the director? To me, I don’t see how you can separate them.” “I think it’s a glaring omission,” BedSee OSCAR, Page 4

over?
That’s just some of the scuttlebutt we’ve heard as local fans await the 85th annual Academy Awards show, set to air at 7 p.m. Sunday on ABC. “I always am emotionally invested in the results,” said Chris Bedwick of Plains Hinton Township, who expects she’ll feel a certain satisfaction if Ben Affleck’s film about the rescue of American hostages from Iran wins as best picture. “When I saw ‘Argo,’ I walked out of that movie and I turned and said, ‘That was definitely the best movie I’ve seen this year.’ I haven’t walked out of a movie and said that since,” said Bedwick, co-owner of Bedwick’s Pharmacy in Wilkes-Barre, who estimates she’s seen more than 100 films on the big screen this year. Hildy Morgan, who chooses the lineup for the Dietrich Theater’s film fes-

wick said. Despite her admiration for “Argo,” Morgan said “Lincoln” deserves to win. “It was absolutely a gorgeous film,” she said. “Daniel Day-Lewis was magnificent (in the title role.) I read that he went into character and never emerged until the film was done.” Luzerne County Historical Society Director Anthony T.P. Brooks adds his kudos for the historical accuracy of the film and would like to see Tommy Lee Jones win as best-supporting actor for his role as “a radical Republican from Pennsylvania.” “As a Pennsylvanian, I couldn’t be more proud of his performance and the surprise twist of who we find in his bed at the end,” Brooks said. “But we can’t give that away.” The movie inspired Brooks to look up how Pennsylvania representatives voted on the 13th amendment to the Constitution, which abolished slavery. “All the Republicans voted ‘yes,’ and only 10 Democrats voted ‘yes.’ Sadly to say, the local congressman was a ‘no’ vote,” Brooks said. “It was Charles Denison, grandson of Nathan Denison. I don’t know his internal thoughts, but it would be something a young high-school student might want to come in and research.” Area thespian Matt Hinton, who directs shows for Gaslight Theatre and works in the Kirby Center Box Office, said he found himself watching more movies than usual this Oscar season. “As a Western-head, I really did like ‘D’Jango Unchained.’ It really did speak to the genre,” he said. “I just saw ‘Argo’ (on Monday). I thought it was fantastic. Even though we knew how it would turn out, it was still very suspenseful and very engaging. Terrific, from start to finish.” “There’s a lot to talk about this year,” Hinton said. “ ‘Silver Linings Playbook’ really spoke to life because everybody’s got troubles, and that kind of addresses everyone’s neuroses.”
IF YOU GO Still in theaters: “Zero Dark Thirty,” “Silver Linings Playbook,” “D’Jango Unchained,” “Les Miserables,” and “Argo.” Available on DVD: “Amour,” “Argo,” “Beasts of the Southern Wild,” “D’Jango Unchained.” Soon to be available: “Zero Dark Thirty” on March 11; “Life of Pi” on March 12; “Les Miserables” on March 22; “Lincoln” on March 26. Coming to the Dietrich Theater in Tunkhannock: “Amour,” in April Coming to the Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre: To be announced
“I was impressed by Bradley Cooper in ‘Silver Linings,’ and by Jennifer Lawrence as an actress. She’s proven herself,” Hinton said. “We knew Hugh Jackman (who played John Valjean in “Les Miserables”) is endlessly talented.” “You’re really talking about a hairsbreadth of difference between movies,” said Morgan, explaining she loved “Silver Linings Playbook” and “D’Jango Unchained.” “For me, (director Quentin Tarantino) did for AfricanAmericans in ‘D’Jango Unchained,’ leaving the plantation in ruins, what he did for Jewish people in ‘Inglourious Basterds.’ ” But a revenge fantasy might not be “serious” enough to win, Morgan said. Nevertheless, Bedwick said, Christoph Waltz’s performance in “D’Jango Unchained” deserves to win the best-supporting-actor award. “In this competition, all the supporting-actor nominees are wonderful. I could see any of the five of them winning. But he carried that movie.” Some of the Oscar-nominated films are still showing on area screens; others are more difficult to find. If you haven’t seen the elusive “Amour,” which tells the story of an elderly couple dealing with the woman’s mental decline, Morgan said, it will come to the Dietrich Theater’s Spring Film Festival in early April. Some Oscar nominees may come to the F.M. Kirby Center in upcoming months, marketing director Anne Rodella said, but the list has not been finalized.
Tupperware hides her little secrets By MARY THERESE BIEBEL mbiebel@timesleader.com

f you were to visit Dixie Longate’s home down
in Alabama and open her refrigerator, top to bottom you’d see plastic containers. “Oh, my Lord, it’s chock-full. There is more Tupperware there than in the factory,” Longate said in a soft drawl that dripped through a phone line like tupelo honey from a coffee stirrer. Longate – alter ego of actor Kris Andersson – hails from Mobile, and she’s bringing her Southern hospitality north to present “Dixie’s Tupperware Party” at the Scranton Cultural Center. It’s not just a theatrical show. Longate will be happy to actually sell you some Tupperware. “Heck, yes,” she said. “It would be unneighborly not to.” Playing into red-neck stereotypes, Longate explained some of her favorite uses for air-tight plastic. “With the cake taker,” she said, “I put Jell-O shots in it and take them to church, or I take them to school for the kids.” Longate has three children, by the way. Wynona is 16, Dwayne is 10, and little Absorbine Jr. is 3. Does she bring them along when she’s on the road? “Oh hell no,” she said. “I’ll take any opportunity to get away from those kids.” Longate’s back-story includes a history of prison time for “nothing serious. Like I just walk into a store and somebody hands me a turkey and asks me to hold it for them.” With her luck, that’s the kind of incident that could get her arrested for shoplifting. Yet, following her parole officer’s advice to get a job, she has turned the selling of Tupperware into a successful career, with more than $200,000 in one fiscal

Beloved orphans merit an encore By MARY THERESE BIEBEL mbiebel@timesleader.com
T
he 1930s probably were bad enough for
youngsters who lived with their families. Just imagine how much worse times would have been if, instead of parents to guide you through the Depression, you had lazy, selfish, boozy Miss Hannigan making you scrub the orphanage. It’s enough to make a dozen little girls sing: “ ’Steada treated, we get tricked.” “ ’Steada kisses, we get kicked.” “Oh, it’s rough,” said Michael Marone, who is directing “Annie” at the Music Box Playhouse in Swoyersville. “Miss Hannigan’s nasty to all of them. They’re sleeping two and three to a bunk. Some are on the floor. One of them plays with a mouse as a toy.” But for little red-headed Annie,

hard times and hard knocks don’t last. She eventually meets a kind benefactor, Daddy Warbucks, who will try to make her dreams come true. “Warbucks has the ability to give her the world, pretty much,” Marone said. “Unfortunately, the one thing Annie wants is her real parents back, and it’s the one thing he can’t give her.” Originally, the Music Box production was scheduled to end this weekend, but due to its popularity, two more shows have been added for March 2 and Phoenix Theatrics at the Phoenix Performing Arts Centre, 409 Main St., Duryea. 8 tonight; 2 and 7 p.m. Sunday. $12. 4573589.

March 3. Adding to the charm of the show are the cheerful singing and dancing of the young orphans, led by Abbigail Schultz as Annie. The cast also boasts a four-footed friend, named Autumn in real life, who portrays Annie’s dog, Sandy. “It’s the board president’s dog,” Marone said. “She’s a mix, and she’s the stereotypical sandy color. She’s a ham, too. She knows when it’s her time in the spotlight.”

THE GUIDE
‘The Rock’ can’t roll here I
By ROGER MOORE McClatchy-Tribune News Service
t takes forever to get going and lollygags along even after that. As a businessman scrambling to find a way to get
his son’s federal prison sentence reduced, Dwayne
“The Rock” Johnson has to play fear, tough love, pity and panic – and he’s a bit in over his head. But that’s the point of “Snitch,” a straight-no-chaser thriller “inspired by a true story.” The pacing is off, and too many scenes lack dramatic punch and play like filler. But Johnson is pretty good at being a guy in over his head, sharing scenes with flinty pros like Susan Sarandon, Benjamin Bratt and Barry Pepper. It’s a tale of a civilian who gets mixed up in the feds-vs.-Mexican drug cartels war, whose “mandatory minimum sentencing” has snared John Matthews’ naive 18year-old son. The prosecutor (Sarandon) is a hard case, readying a run for Congress. So John makes a deal – he’ll get “an introduction” into that world through his construction supply business. He’ll use his Jefferson City, Mo., trucks for transport, and they’ll nail big players from the cartel. Co-writer director Ric Roman Waugh is a stuntman turned director. But he wastes a staggering amount of time setting that scenario up and even more time getting to the point where his nodigital stunt experience pays off. Some of that establishes that John is a fish out of water and shows us his learning curve. Mostly, though, that slow pacing
robs the story of tension and suspense. What gives it juice is the supporting cast. John Bernthal is credibly wary as the ex-con John begs to get him in the door of the drug world. And the terrific Michael Kenneth Williams is the first dealer he meets, a guy who pulls a gun on him just to test him. Waugh can be forgiven for giving these guys more scenes than are absolutely necessary. They’re that good. Pepper sports a Civil War-worthy goatee in his role as an undercover fed who frets over John’s safety. Rafi Gavron is properly frightened as the boy who let a friend entrap him with a box full of pills and sets this whole saga in motion, though Waugh loses track of the kid for much of the movie. We need reminding of the stakes, the danger. But I like the way Johnson, often shot in extreme close-ups, underplays this guy. And I like the way the script lets John’s ineptitude and discomfort in this world create the humor, the way Waugh has some scenes set to music, no sound effects, the way he dispenses with the obligatory “I’m

gonna need to head to the gun shop” scene and the way the man films a car and truck chase – rending metal, shattered glass, none of that digital fuss and fakery. “Snitch” isn’t a great film. But after the run of brawling, overthe-top shoot-’em-ups that have cluttered Johnson’s resume it’s good to see him try his hand at acting, even if he is as overmatched as the fellow he plays.

Movie Amy
Still Showing
A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD — A parody of itself, right? That’s the only way to explain this ridiculously over-the-top, repetitively numbing fifth film in the “Die Hard” franchise. R for violence, language. 97 mins. ★ ARGO – Ben Affleck stars in, and directs, the far-fetched but nonetheless factual tale of a CIA plot to extricate six U.S. embassy workers from Tehran as the 1979 Iran hostage crisis unfolds. R for violence, profanity, adult themes. 120 mins. ★★★ 1/2 BEAUTIFUL CREATURES — The genders have been reversed, but the supernatural, star-crossed teen angst remains firmly intact in this drama that clearly aims to pick up where the “Twilight” franchise left off. PG-13 for violence, scary images and sexual material. 123 mins. ★★ DJANGO UNCHAINED – Quentin Tarantino homages Mandingo, spaghetti westerns, blaxploitation, Sam Peckinpah and the Three Stooges, in this all-overthe-place antebellum western. R for violence, profanity, adult themes. 165 mins. ★★ 1/2 ESCAPE FROM PLANET EARTH – A nerdy alien has to go to Earth to save his super-studly spaceexploring older brother, who has been captured by the U.S. government. PG for action, mild rude humor. 95 mins. ★★ HANSEL & GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS – An R-rated horror action comedy fairy tale takes the kidnapped kiddies into adulthood, where they’ve parlayed their fame into a business. R for strong fantasy horror violence and gore, brief sexuality/nudity and language. 86 mins. ★ 1/2 THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY — Peter Jackson’s “The Lord of the Rings” prelude is some eye candy that truly dazzles and some that utterly distracts. PG-13 for extended intense fantasy
action violence and frightening images. 169 mins. ★★ 1/2 IDENTITY THIEF — Melissa McCarthy is the brash wild card with an off-kilter sense of humor and a dangerous streak. Jason Bateman is the initially bemused but increasingly frustrated straight man. These opposites are stuck on a cross-country road trip together. R for sexuality and language. 107 mins. ★ 1/2 LES MISERABLES — Tom Hooper’s extravaganza simply will not let up until you’ve Felt Something. PG-13 for suggestive/sexual material, violence and theme. 158 mins. ★★ 1/2 LINCOLN — This is a lot more reserved than the expected Spielberg parody but still easier to admire than love. PG-13 for intense war violence, carnage and brief strong language. 150 mins. ★★★ MAMA – Horror is a product of empathy – in this case, fearing for the safety of small children and the reluctant twenty-something rock musician stuck with caring for them. PG-13 for violence and terror, disturbing images and theme. 100 mins. ★★★ SAFE HAVEN – Simple pleasures are in the forefront in another sweetly treacly tale from the “beach book” author who gave us “The Notebook,” “Dear John” and “The Last Song.” PG-13 for thematic material involving threatening behavior, violence and sexuality. 115 mins. ★★ SIDE EFFECTS – Rooney Mara is chilling as a troubled Manhattan woman who starts taking a new drug at the urging of her psychiatrist (Jude Law). R for sexuality, nudity, violence and language. 106 mins. ★★★ SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK – A head-spinner of a movie about love, pain, reinvention and rehabilitation. R for profanity, sex, drugs, violence, adult themes. 120 minutes ★★★★ WARM BODIES — In the wake of a zombie epidemic, an unusual undead guy forms a special relationship with a young lady whose life he saves. PG-13 for zombie violence, some strong language. 97 mins. ★★★★ ZERO DARK THIRTY – As a hugely compressed account of the Osama bin Laden manhunt, and a riveting portrait of a fiercely determined woman working in a male-dominated sphere, this is a resounding success. R for strong violence, brutal disturbing images and language. 157 mins. ★★★ 1/2
Do you remember how Lady and the Tramp ate spaghetti to the strains of “Bella Notte” in the Disney animated classic? While that version of the song, written by Peggy Lee and Scranton’s Sonny Burke, is the definitive rendition, the tune also pops up prominently in “Men Don’t Leave” (1990, Warner Archive, PG-13, $25), a hidden gem of a romantic comedy written and directed by Paul Brickman (“Risky Business”). Jessica Lange stars in the movie as Beth Macauley, a widow who, after her husband’s death, is forced to sell
her smalltown Maryland home and move with her two sons to Baltimore, where a job with a catering firm awaits. Brickman spins three stories simultaneously. The main tale belongs to Lange and her struggles with a demanding boss (Kathy Bates) and an easygoing boyfriend (Arliss Howard). Also getting plenty of screen time are Lange’s son, 17-year-old Chris (Chris O’Donnell), who’s having an affair with an offbeat older woman (Joan Cusack), and 7-
year-old Matt (Charlie Korsmo), who takes up with a pintsize thief (Corey Carrier). All the stories are simple; the joy is in the characters and their surprising evolutions. Which brings us back to “Bella Notte.” Desperate to impress Lange, Howard chooses this ditty to woo her with. Sure, he could have sung a more famous tune, such as “Isn’t It Romantic” or “Come Rain Or Come Shine.” But “Bella Notte” does the trick. It’s a lovely song that, like the movie itself, casts a magic spell. Amy Longsdorf writes about DVD and Blu-Ray releases with local connections.
New on DVD This week’s DVD releases include two Oscarnominated films. “ANNA KARENINA,” GRADE A: Keira Knightley stars in the latest film adaptation of Leo Tolstoy’s classic novel. Movies like “Anna Karenina” are what people mean when they talk about Hollywood magic. Director Joe Wright has taken the much-told tale of the late 19th-century Russian heroine and cast a cinematic spell to make his film version as compelling as it is creative. Wright elevates the movie beyond the typical trappings of the genre by the way he staged the production. He’s created a theater space where the action weaves on and off the stage. It’s as if he’s found the previously unknown art form created by the union of a movie, stage production and ballet. It’s not only one of the best and most beautifully staged movies of the past year, it easily belongs in that category for any movies released since the start of the 21st century. “ARGO,” GRADE A-: An agent poses as a filmmaker to save six Americans during the Iran hostage crisis in this Oscar-nominated film for Best Picture. Ben Affleck stars in and directs the film. The plot sounds like a rejected plot line for “Mission: Impossible.” If the film weren’t based on a real story, the audacity and absurdity of what transpires would be almost too ridiculous even in a fictional story. But this factbased story ends up as compelling and as
exciting as any adventure James Bond ever had. Affleck has shown again with his solid direction of “Argo” that he’s not just another actor who wants to sit in the director’s chair. His latest work is a brilliant blend of a first-rate story delivered with skill and attention to detail. He always gets the most out of his actors, story and visuals. “SINISTER,” GRADE D-: Home movies spark a nightmare experience for a family. There are three ways to generate scares in a horror film: smart writing, a creepy filming style or an interesting creature. The better these elements, the better the film. “Sinister” fails on all three counts. The closest thing to a scare is when director Scott Derrickson has the creature jump into a scene accompanied by a loud sound. Yes, it startles. But being startled and being scared are not the same. ••• Also new on DVD: “GAME OF THRONES: THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON”: Superb cable series starring Peter Dinklage. “TOP GUN”: The film about hot-shot pilots is available in 3D. Tom Cruise stars. “BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: BLOOD & CHROME”: Takes place in the midst of the first Cylon war. “FUN SIZE”: A teen tries to find her missing little brother at a Halloween party. “THE FACTORY”: Twisted thriller starring John Cusack. “ATLAS SHRUGGED: PART II”: A revolutionary motor could be the solution to economic problems.

CELEBRITY Q&A BY R.D. HELDENFELS
JUMBLE
UNIVERSAL SUDOKU
BY MICHAEL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK
‘Duck Dynasty’ boys have another brother Q. Being a fan of “Duck Dynasty,” my question is: When they show old pictures of the brothers there are four of them. Number four is not mentioned on the show. Do you know anything about him? A. Yes. In addition to brothers Willie, Jase and Jeptha, there is a fourth Robertson brother, Alan, who does not work in the family’s business. The oldest of the brothers “left the duck call business when he received the call for full-time ministry in 1988 and now serves as a senior pastor in West Monroe, La.,” says the site of Duck Commander, the family enterprise. “Alan is still a part of the family’s commitment to spreading the gospel of Christ through their love of hunting and the great outdoors. He calls himself a Jacob in a family of Esaus.”
PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION
Q. “NCIS” is my favorite show. What has Mark Harmon done before the show? I have seen the actor who plays Ducky.
CRYPTOQUOTE
A. Harmon, who plays Leroy Jethro Gibbs on the show, has long been one of the most reliable actors in movies and television. His TV series included “St. Elsewhere,” “Chicago Hope,” “Flamingo Road” and “Reasonable Doubts,” and he famously played serial killer Ted Bundy in the TV-movie “The Deliberate Stranger.” Among his big-screen credits are “Summer School,” “Wyatt Earp” and “The Presidio.” Before he became an actor, he was a standout quarterback at UCLA.

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your subcon-
scious will work overtime to help you sort out the feelings of the day. Tonight, your dreams will reflect the unusual circumstances going on in your life. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It is not a bad thing to owe a debt. It can keep you going, working and trying on a level that you wouldn’t if you didn’t have something to pay back. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have so much in common with the one you meet today that it will seem as if you are
ON THE WEB For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com destined to know each other.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). The sequence
of events that had to occur for any of us to come into being is so highly improbable that we might consider being amazed that we exist at all. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Today will go by quickly, but it is long enough for you to accomplish amazing things. For instance, you’ll make someone happy, affirm a relationship and wonder deeply. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When something is going on with you emotionally, your body soon adopts a sympathetic pain. So address the emotional need now. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Try not to be so uptight about the schedule. Nothing is
set in stone. Whether you’re prompt, late or early, it will all work out. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have every right to take up space, so use it well. And if you can manage to be graceful in the process, you’ll be not only effective, but also a delight to behold. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You may reach the end of a commitment and still feel a lingering attachment. Cut the emotional strings. Once you’ve paid a debt in full, it’s over. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have yet to tap into the full range of what your community has to offer your latest endeavor. There may be a professional organization that can help you reach your goal.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You don’t
always have to know what to do, but it helps if you at least know what not to do. There’s no point to going into a situation completely blind. Ask for guidelines. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What you memorize may inform you, but what you learn on your own through experience will transform you. So get your hands dirty today. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 22). The next three weeks bring recognition for your professional and creative efforts. In March, you’ll be victorious in a game or ongoing dispute. April offers a welcome change of scenery. Resist temptation, and you’ll be rewarded in May. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 10, 3, 37 and 21.
Fraud investigator is mortified by his wife’s arrest for fraud Dear Abby: My wife of six years was recently arrested for wire fraud, involving the receipt of unemployment benefits. She was receiving money when she should not have been. I knew she had applied for benefits since she was laid off; however, I was not aware that she was falsifying documents in order to receive the benefits. I feel hurt, betrayed and offended. I am a retired law
DEAR ABBY ADVICE enforcement officer and currently an independent fraud investigator. Our relationship had been on the rocks for some time prior to this humiliating event. How do I handle this mess? — Betrayed in Florida Dear Betrayed: The first thing to do is realize that your wife’s
indiscretions are a reflection only on her character, not yours. Then let the law take its course, and once you have cooled off, decide rationally if you want to continue a marriage that has been “on the rocks for some time.” Dear Abby: When I was 17, I was checked into a psychiatric hospital for severe depression and a suicide attempt. While I was there I met “Jim,” a boy who was there for the same reasons. To make a long story short, we kept in touch and

now we’re dating. We benefited from the experience and are good for each other. Friends often ask how we met and we don’t know how to answer the question. Generally, we say something vague about how we have known each other for a long time, but some people continue to press. Neither of us wants to advertise that we spent time in a psych ward. How can we gracefully sidestep the question? — Dodging the Question in the USA

THE GUIDE
Dear Dodging: It is difficult to sidestep a question that is asked so frequently in the course of conversation — especially if a couple seems compatible. Because you would rather not be specific, just say you met in a teen counseling group a few years ago. It’s the truth — you were being counseled.
