Lydia Pense and Cold Blood bring the sound of the late 1960s to the Lincoln Theatre on Saturday night.

“Delivery Man”: A meat delivery man (Vince Vaughn) learns that his sperm donations have resulted in 533 children.

Vaughn has carved out a successful career playing characters who aren’t the most productive members of society. And those characters are usually played for big laughs. He portrays the same kind of role in “Delivery Man,” a guy whose biggest talent is being a frequent sperm donor. But this time the laughs are more subdued and — dare it be said — sweet. Vaughn’s found a way to take a character who, by all accounts, should be annoying and make him endearing.

The film is a pleasant surprise. The story line, about being the father to hun-dreds, had all the earmarks of being an over-the-top comedy. Instead, this is one of the sweetest family movies released this year on DVD.

“Key & Peele: Seasons One and Two”: The DVD set features former “MADtv” actors Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele who reunited to star in the new half-hour cable sketch comedy show. Through improv, original characters and celebrity impressions, the pair look at the oddities of life in a very funny way. They are so talented, it’s hard to believe two comics can provide so many laughs.

“Here’s Lucy: The Complete Series”: Most know Lucille Ball from her years on “I Love Lucy.” But after Ball and Desi Arnaz divorced, she went on to star in her own series that ran from 1968-1974. It’s not as good as her original series but the 144 episodes show off the comic skills of Ball. She’s joined by her real-life children, Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz Jr., as well as Gale Gordon, her co-star from the earlier “Lucy Show.”

“Mystery Science Theater 3000: XXIX”: Includes “Untamed Youth,” “Hercules and the Captive Women,” “The Thing That Couldn’t Die.”

“Angels in Stardust”: Teen finds solace from a mystical cowboy and a former enemy.

“The Truth About Emanuel”: A young woman becomes obsessed with her mysterious new neighbor.

“The Past”: Man’s efforts to improve this relationship soon unveil a secret from their past.

“The Conspiracy”: Two filmmakers end up in peril after they select a crazed conspiracy theorist as the subject of their new movie.

“Frontline: Secret State of North Korea”: A look at life under North

Korea’s Kim Jong-un.“Home”: A 33-year-old man suffering

from mental illness wants to move into an apartment of his own.

“William & Mary: The Complete Col-lection”: Martin Clunes and Julie Gra-ham play two improbable love birds.

“Scooby-Doo! WrestleMania Mys-tery”: Scooby and the gang protect the WWE championship belt.

“Nature: Honey Badgers: Masters of Mayhem”: A look at the honey badger.

“Alien Boy: The Life and Death of James Chasse”: A look at the death of a schizophrenic after a police beating.

“Little House On The Prairie—Sea-son One Deluxe Remastered Edition”: Special edition is being released to cel-ebrate the 40th anniversary of the pilot movie premiere.

“Yu-Gi-Oh! The Official Fourth Sea-son”: Includes 40 episodes of the ani-mated series.

“Junk”: Two ex-friends must come together when one of their works is accepted at a film festival.

“Russia’s Open Book”: The search for the new Tolstoy, Dostoevsky or Gogol in Russia.

“Veep: The Complete Second Sea-son”: Cable comedy starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

ON STAGE

By KERA WANIELISTA@Kera_SVH

Don’t be fooled by what you hear on the radio. The music of the late 1960s is alive and well —

and coming to Mount Vernon. Lydia Pense & Cold Blood

will bring their classic “East Bay Grease” sound, made popular by other bands like Tower of Power,

to Mount Vernon’s Lincoln The-atre on Saturday night.

Cold Blood got their start in San Francisco in the late 1960s after playing an audition at the legendary Fillmore West theatre.

They came highly recom-mended by legendary singer Janis Joplin, whom many compare Pense to.

Nearly 40 years later, the band is still together and going strong, even preparing to release a new album, Pense said. They will perform both new and

old music at the Lincoln, she said.“I love traveling,” Pense said.

“I always look forward to it, especially going up to the North-west.”

The show is organized by the Rick Epting Foundation, a local nonprofit that helps fund local music and arts-based programs in Skagit County.

John Holmes, president of the Rick Epting Foundation’s Board of Directors, said he has been working to get Cold Blood to come to the area since he first saw them at a winter blues festi-val in 2011. They were the stand-out act, he said, even amongst other musicians such as Jimmie Vaughan.

“I was totally blown away by some of the musicianship,” Holmes said. “Just the energy that they project on stage.”

With horn and rhythm sec-tions, and Pense’s bluesy vocals,

concertgoers will be transported back to a funkier time.

“It’s very danceable and it’s ‘up’ music,” Holmes said. “It just makes you want to dance and sing or get up and move.”

Over the past seven to eight years, the foundation has donat-ed more than $15,000 to local programs, Holmes said. That includes supplementing school music and arts programs and donating to the Lincoln Theatre. Proceeds from Saturday’s con-cert will help them continue this work.

“We’re trying to make sure that future generations have exposure to art and music and support the artists and musicians in the area as much as we can,”

Holmes said. “By going, you’re going to be supporting the arts. And the other reason you should go is because the band is an incredible band.”

Local R&B singer Margaret Wilder and her band will open the show in her Lincoln Theatre debut.

Tickets range in price from $15 to $35. Holmes said many of the $35 seats, in the front section, are sold out, but many of the $20 seats, which are a little farther back from the stage, are still available.

MUSIC

By RANDY LEWISLos Angeles Times

A trove of two dozen unfin-ished Bob Dylan songs written circa 1967 during his “Basement Tapes” period are being complet-ed by an all-star band assembled by producer T Bone Burnett and including Elvis Costello, Mar-cus Mumford and My Morning Jacket’s Jim James for release as an album and Showtime special later this year.

“These are not B-level Dylan lyrics,” Burnett, 66, said Monday during a break in filming and recording sessions in Hollywood for the project titled “Lost On the River: The New Basement Tapes.” “They’re lyrics he just never got around to finishing.”

Rounding out the band work-ing on the new material are Carolina Chocolate Drops singer Rhiannon Giddens and Dawes lead guitarist and songwriter Tay-lor Goldsmith.

Burnett and Costello spoke of trying to honor the spirit of the original recordings that came to be known as “The Base-ment Tapes” because they were recorded by Dylan and the Band while they had holed up in a large house in upstate New York known as Big Pink.

The recordings they made were never intended to be released, but became the first widely circulated bootleg record-ings by a major rock artist, and ultimately were released in official form by Dylan’s label, Columbia Records, in 1975.

Among the songs written dur-ing that time, many in collabora-tion with members of the Band, were some of the most highly regarded of both artists’ careers, including “I Shall Be Released,” “Quinn The Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn),” “Tears of Rage” “You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere” and “Crash on the Levee (Down in the Flood).”

They reportedly wrote and recorded at least 30 new songs, but Dylan had written many

more sets of lyrics that he never set to music.

“The New Basement Tapes” project aims to honor the free-wheeling spirit of the original sessions, even though, Costello pointed out from the control room of Capitol Records Studio A, “This is the exact opposite of ‘The Basement Tapes’: We’re in the best recording studio in the world, and we’re not in a base-ment.’”

Another difference is that this project also is being docu-mented by filmmaker Sam Jones, for Showtime’s Sho: Close Up documentary “Lost Songs: The

Basement Tapes Continued.” Jones noted that no photographs apparently were taken during the original Big Pink sessions, although some film footage is said to exist.

One intriguing facet of the cur-rent project is the collaboration among the participants. Each has come up with his or her own music for many of the lyrics, resulting in multiple versions of the same songs and allowing a perspective on the ways different artists respond to Dylan’s lyrics.

Each artist acts as producer during the recording of his or her song, and all provide whatever

instrumental support the others require.

During the first week of recording, Burnett said they’d laid down nearly 48 tracks and expect to have more than 50 to draw from by the time record-ing sessions wrap up this week. Among the songs are the title track, “Florida Key,” “Card Shark” and “Hi-De-Ho.”

“It runs the gamut from every-body having a blast in the studio to being really serious about doing things right,” Giddens said.

It hasn’t been decided how many of the tracks ultimately will be released. Dylan’s sole involve-

ment in the project, beyond pro-viding the lyrics, appears to be giving it his blessing.

A spokesman for Dylan said he’s offered no explanation of why he decided to offer the unfinished songs to Burnett to complete. It’s hard not to specu-late that the decision is at least partially driven by his experience helping to bring lyrics left unfin-ished by Hank Williams at his death in 1953 to life by having a variety of rock, pop and country artists to set them to music and record them for the 2011 album “The Lost Notebooks of Hank Williams.”

REVIEWS: MUSIC

The Hold Steady“Teeth Dreams”

The Hold Steady is a garage band at heart, but it’s a two-car garage in a nice neighborhood, and there might be a Mer-cedes inside.

Singer Craig Finn and his mates have always come across like upper-middle-class products who are usually the oldest, smartest guys at the party — and thus the ones who tell the most interesting stories. “‘Teeth Dreams,” the Brooklyn band’s sixth album, is filled with Finn’s charac-teristically compelling characters, mostly female, as he sings about bad company, simple minds, night moves, life in the fast lane, dancing the night away and Pink Floyd. Rock doesn’t come much more clas-sic.

To help keep the ’70s alive, the Hold Steady doubles down on the guitars, and recent addition Steve Selvidge teams with band co-founder Tad Kubler to frame the songs with dense, shimmering sound. It’s often pretty, and it always packs plenty of punch. Horns? Strings? There’s no need when you’re a garage band.

Jo Dee Messina“Me”

Jo Dee Mes-sina opens her new album, “Me,” with a song title that declares she’s “Not Dead Yet.” The veteran country singer proved just that when fans rallied behind her Kickstarter campaign, helping her raise more than $100,000 for the recording of this 12-song collection.

Messina’s declaration that she’s still alive and well comes across clearly on this playfully vibrant album. “Me” repeatedly speaks of second stages in life — and, by proxy, in careers, too. Messina, 43, continu-ally addresses the value of experience in her songs, as well as in co-writing seven songs and in co-producing the album with Julian King.

The songs “Love On A Maybe” and “Breakin’ It Down” confront a partner about commitment, making it clear she needs more from him, and “A Woman’s Rant” wittily rips at the fast pace of mod-ern-day life for a working mother. Similar-

ly, “Peace Sign” uses clever, biting humor to tell a lover to kiss off.

The album’s ballads slow things down — not just in tempo, but in quality, too. How-ever, whenever the beat kicks in, so does Messina’s entertaining style. “Me” proves that Messina’s fans are right to think she still has plenty to offer.

Johnny Cash“Out Among the Stars”

Be forewarned: You should check your expectations for this album right from the start. Judged purely on its own merits, “Out Among the Stars” is a decidedly aver-age Johnny Cash effort, perhaps even a touch worse than that.

Like much of his work in the 1980s, it is hobbled by poor production, mediocre material and a general lack of purpose. Nonetheless, all those criticisms aside, this remains an important record. It speaks to the variety of the body of work, which encompassed rockabilly, gospel, country, blues, folk, pop — you name it.

n Jerrick Adams, popmatters.com

Benmont Tench“You Should Be So Lucky”

A charter member of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, keyboardist Ben-mont Tench is also an in-demand session player, someone widely respected as a musician’s musician. So it’s no surprise that the 60-year-old’s solo debut features a lot of friends — Petty, Don Was, Ringo Starr, Ryan Adams, the duo of Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, and, behind the board, storied producer Glyn Johns.

Like the sideman extraordinaire him-self, these accompanists (and others) don’t draw attention to themselves but instead help create a work that is unmistakably Benmont Tench — warm, organic, mostly laid-back and never flashy. Tench’s con-versational singing style suits the aching intimacy of such vividly drawn originals as “Today I Took Your Picture Down” and “Why Don’t You Quit Leavin’ Me Alone,” although he can also flash some attitude, as he does on the title song, the album’s hardest-rocking track.

Two diverse instrumentals highlight Tench’s range: the languidly moody, string-accented “Ecor Rouge” and the Professor Longhair-inspired “Wobbles,” and he goes out swinging with a supremely spirited take on Dylan’s “Duquesne Whistle.”

Elton John“Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (40th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition)”

It’s time to dig yet again into the Elton John archives. Ten years have passed since the release of the “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition.”

Happily, the four-CD, one-DVD set to commemorate the album’s 40th anniversa-ry is more than mere record label recycling. Included are a CD of “GBYBR” songs covered by contemporary artists, two discs of a 1973 concert with John and his band in top form, a handsome 100-page hardcover book and a DVD of a long out-of-print 1973 documentary by British filmmaker Bryan Forbes.

The artists performing the covers are younger than the original album, a testa-ment to its durability. Best is English singer Ed Sheeran, who transforms “Candle In the Wind” into strummy folk, and Irish musi-cian Imelda May, who applies rockabilly zeal to “Your Sister Can’t Twist (But She Can Rock ‘n Roll).” Alas, Fall Out Boy reduces “Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting)” into a pep rally, and an R&B/rap remake of “Bennie and the Jets” by Gram-my winner Miguel and Wale never takes off.

John’s original album has been remas-tered yet again and sounds better than ever. The loud-to-soft contrasts are remarkable for a pop record, rewarding owners of quality headphones or loud-speakers. Dee Murray’s underrated bass work, Nigel Olsson’s angelic high harmo-nies and Davey Johnstone’s seven guitar parts on “Saturday Night” can be appreci-

ated as never before.Like the dynamic range, the range of

material remains impressive. A musical sponge from childhood, John was at his prolific peak when the two-disc LP, 17-song set was written and recorded in a span of just two weeks. Bernie Taupin’s cinematic lyrics become Technicolor tunes, and “GBYBR” is an unsurpassed distillation of rock’s golden era spanning both sides of the Atlantic. John draws on the Beatles and the Stones, the Beach Boys and the Band, Bob Marley, “Soul Train,” Jerry Lee Lewis and Liberace, and makes it all his own. It helps that he’s in the best voice of his career.

n Steven Wine, Associated Press

Skrillex“Recess”

Skrillex is this gen-eration’s rave king, a sultan of sub-bass EDM whose singular look (shaved sides, long locks, thick glasses) and double sound (dub-step’s room-shaking wub, techno’s deep drops) made him a hero to fans, remix clients and fellow producer/DJs alike.

He recently released “Recess,” his first solo album, first as an Android and iPhone app called Alien Ride. Now it’s out as a CD. “Recess” plays with the electro-music form, both reveling in and toying with his personal musical signatures. The hard-line “All Is Fair in Love and Brostep” both plays up and deflates the boot-stomping machismo of dub-step. “Coast Is Clear,” with guest Chicago sensation Chance the Rapper, injects a delectable, dance-hop feel into the proceedings, while bringing in buoyant brass and lush vocal harmonies for something fleshly and real. Speaking of fleshly and real, we really get both when Skrillex calls upon Philly’s Diplo, whose grungy “Dirty Vibe” is aptly titled.

Even when catchy, some of “Recess” can sometimes sound samey. Still, as far as samey goes, it’s a good samey.

‘infamous: Second Son’Publisher: SonyPlatform: PlayStation 4Cost: $59.99Rating: 3.5 stars out of 4On the Web: us.playstation.com/ps4/games/infamous-second-son-ps4.html

Ah, Seattle, home of a thousand cof-fee shops, almost as many tech startups and the loudest fans in the NFL. Also, gangs of armed drug dealers, an oppres-sive paramilitary presence and a hand-ful of superpowered rabble-rousers.

Deslin Rowe, star of “infamous: Second Son,” is one of those malcontents. He’s on the run from the Department of Unified Protection, a government agency that’s understandably twitchy around mutants, given the apocalyptic meltdown unleashed in 2011’s “inFamous 2.” Deslin has his own score to settle with the DUP, so Seattleites had better hold onto their lattes.

Deslin isn’t your ordinary comic-book hero/villain. For starters, he’s a graffiti artist who wears a wool cap and a denim jacket rather than a mask and tights. More important, like Rogue in Marvel’s X-Men comics, he can absorb the powers of other so-called “conduits.”

Those powers are fueled by ambient elements of Seattle’s neighborhoods. If Deslin inhales smoke, he can shoot it back out as fireballs. If he drains a neon sign, he can slow down time and shoot precise laser beams. Scattered all over town are glowing shards he can use to upgrade skills or unlock new ones, which get more weird and flamboyant as the game proceeds.

Happily, Deslin acquires his two most useful skills right from the start: super-speed and flight. Even when you’re not battling DUP troops, it’s thrilling to race up the side of a skyscraper, leap off the roof and fly to the next building. Since shards and side missions can be found on

almost every block, you’ll want to explore every inch of the lively, three-dimensional Seattle — including landmarks like the Space Needle and the monorail — recre-ated by Bellevue-based Sucker Punch Productions.

Most of the missions in “Second Son” involve destroying DUP facilities, although you can also get under the gov-ernment’s skin by disrupting its surveil-lance cameras or defacing its billboards. There are also high-speed chases, Earth-bound and airborne. And when you meet your fellow conduits (the DUP calls them “bio-terrorists”) head-to-head, you’re treated to cleverly designed boss battles that require a balanced menu of super-powers to conquer.

“Second Son” continues the series’ “karma” system, which forces you to decide whether you want to be a hero or a villain. Rescuing civilians earns you good karma; slaughtering them earns you evil karma. You can redeem or corrupt other conduits. And you can try to take enemies alive or just blow off their heads. Some superpowers are available only to good or evil characters, and your ending will vary depending on whether you’re naughty or nice. It’s a bit simplistic, but provides ample reason to replay the game and check out the paths not taken.

I took the virtuous route and was rewarded with a solid superhero origin story that touches on some timely issues of government surveillance and control. Deslin himself borders on annoying, a near-parody of a certain brand of West Coast hipster who really needs to have that stupid wool cap slapped off his head. Fortunately, he is voiced by Troy Baker, who delivers a performance that’s radi-cally different from his award-winning work in 2013’s “The Last of Us” and “BioShock Infinite.” In particular, Deslin’s relationship with his law-abiding brother Reggie (voiced by Travis Willingham) is acutely realistic, a mix of mutual affection and trash talk that will sound familiar to anyone with siblings.

TRAVEL

AP fileLEFT: A crowd gathers for the opening of the Terror House, a museum dedicated to the horrors of communism and the building where people were interrogated and tortured, on Feb. 24, 2002, in Budapest, Hungary.

RIGHT: Hungarian military guards of honor stand behind a statue of the late U.S. President Ronald Reagan during a centennial commemoration on June 29, 2011, in Budapest. The 400-pound, 7-foot-2 bronze statue honors Reagan at the Freedom Square in central Budapest, to mark his efforts to free the people of Hungary from the yoke of communism.

BUDAPEST, Hun-gary — The top-pling of statues and

monuments during times of political upheaval has been a well-documented act in Eastern and Central Euro-pean history.

Among the cathartic ges-tures following the fall of communism in 1989, many of Budapest’s granite and stone giants were swiftly uprooted and later carted off to a field 30 minutes away from central Budapest that has become a sculpture park for the scorned monu-ments.

Save for a cubist rendition of Marx and Engels flank-ing the entrance, Memento Park is an open-air depot of rusty socialist-realist statues, arranged inside a walled complex lined mostly with pebbles.

The iconic Republic of Councils Monument, a giant statue of a worker charg-ing forward and the most inadvertently comic of the installments, is even the butt of irreverent jokes: Some say it looks like a running beachgoer, others say a cloakroom attendant. Beyond that, however, the grounds are meant to serve as grim but honest remind-ers of 40 years under com-munist regimes.

In Budapest, once seen as the western gate of the Eastern bloc, an unknowing tourist’s interest in com-munist history is sometimes regarded with suspicion, even by those too young to have firsthand memories of the country’s bygone era.

The grimy but functional M3 metro system, built mostly in the 1970s during the height of Hungarian “goulash communism” (a less oppressive era than ear-lier regimes), stretches from the Kobanya-Kispest station near the airport to the north end of Pest.

With a transfer at Deak Ferenc Square to the M2

Tracing communist history in Budapest’s landscapeBy SISI TANG / Associated Press

metro, one can reach Szell Kalman Square (formerly Moscow Square), a busy transport hub in Buda that still bears the socialist-realist aura of the Soviet era.

Driving from the airport via the southeast of the city reveals a smattering of unre-stored, sometimes crumbling residential monoliths, dat-

ing to a period when the government was developing large-scale, low-cost housing.

In these flats, insulation was poor and kitchens were deliberately small to keep politically subversive dinner conversations at bay.

But in the more central cultural hub of District VII, or the Jewish Quarter,

some of the city’s many unrestored buildings have been transformed into “ruin pubs,” an attraction for curious tourists and hip urbanites.

Instant Bar is one of these warm haunts salvaged from a defunct residential building. The courtyard now boasts an array of beer

taps and a palimpsest of psychedelic lighting, the entire space decked up in an “enchanted forest” vibe, signified by a group of rab-bit figures suspended from the ceiling.

The city’s various walking tours, including communism-themed tours originating from Vorosmarty Square,

will drop travelers off at some of these dives.

Other tours are avail-able looking at the city’s Jewish history, which dates back centuries. The Jewish Quarter is home to several 19th century synagogues, and during World War II, the Nazis created a walled ghetto here from which thousands of Hungarian Jews were sent to concentra-tion camps.

Soviet soldiers drove out the Nazis from Budapest in 1945, and a monument dedicated to them sits in Freedom Square — an unlit, 16-foot obelisk. There is nothing here to mark the turn of events 11 years later, however, when Soviet troops invaded Hungary again — this time to crush opposition to communism.

An irony not lost on Hungarians is that the U.S. embassy also sits in the same square, along with a larger than life-sized bronze statue of Ronald Reagan in mid-stride facing the Soviet World War II monument from behind.

The city’s current street names mostly date to the 19th century and the period in the 1920s and ’30s between World War I and II. Many of those streets were called something else under the Soviet regime and then restored to their original names when communism ended.

Budapest’s Liberty Statue at Gellert Hill is one of the last communist-era struc-tures to have avoided being trucked off to Memento Park, but the monument has changed over time. It was erected in 1947 to com-memorate the end of the Nazi occupation.

Its height — a 46-foot statue of a figure holding a palm leaf aloft, atop a 85-foot pedestal on a hill — makes it a prominent feature of the Buda sky-line, higher than structures around it and easily view-able from a boat cruise on the Danube. But its inscrip-tion has been altered: Once a tribute to Soviet troops, it’s now a memorial for those who died for Hungary’s freedom.

Arguably the most poi-gnant place on the city’s postcommunist landscape is the House of Terror on 60 Andrassy Ave., which chronicles Hungary’s occu-pation first by the Nazis and then by the Soviets.

The reconstructed Beaux Arts building was the head-quarters of both the pro-Nazi Arrow Cross party and later the secret police of the communist regime. Its three-floor, art deco interior hosts a permanent exhibition complete with evocative soundtracks and lighting and a wealth of images. (Most of the sig-nage is in Hungarian, but audio guides are available

in other languages.)The tour ends when visi-

tors descend to the base-ment into reconstructed prison cells where captives were once left to the secret police. The museum tour is not a harrowing remake of political terror, but a can-did way of dealing with the country’s past.

MOVIES

By ROGER MOOREMcClatchy-Tribune News Service

Big, beatific and (more or less) Biblical, Darren Aronof-sky’s “Noah” is a mad vision of a movie, an action/ adventure take on The Flood that cleansed the Earth.

Aronofsky (“Black Swan”) envisions this epic through the lens of Hollywood, interpreting the Bible as myth and telling one of its most fantastical tales as a grand and dark cinematic fantasy — a “Lord of the Rains.”

And with Russell Crowe as his “Master and Commander” and shipbuilder, Aronofsky has con-cocted an accessible, modern and mythic version of this oral history that may make purists blanch even as it entertains the rest of us.

A prologue tells of the spawn

of Cain, who spilled blood, left the Garden of Eden, populated the world and made a mess of things. Ten generations later, Noah (Crowe) and his small family (Jennifer Connolly, Logan Ler-man, Douglas Booth) wander the wastelands, waiting for … a sign.

Noah’s dreams tell him The End is nigh. By fire, his grandfa-ther, Methuselah (Anthony Hop-kins), wants to know?

“Fire consumes all,” Noah

prophesies. “Water cleanses.”The wicked world “which men

have broken” will be flooded, the pure will rise and float above it. The rest? Drowned.

More visions, and Noah starts building an ark, first, by planting the forest that will be hewn into that ark. Stone creatures straight out of “Lord of the Rings,” “The Watchers” (angels) help him.

But out there, in the world begat by Cain, his descendant Tub-al-cain (Ray Winstone) is offering up an alternative theology.

“A man isn’t ruled by the heav-ens. A man is ruled by his will.”

Tubal-cain’s violence, meat eat-ing (Noah’s people are vegetar-ians) and weapons are attractive to Noah’s son Ham (Lerman, aka Percy Jackson), who has no female companionship in their tiny circle. Shem (Booth) has the foundling

they raised, Ila (Emma Watson). Ham is tempted to change sides to find himself a woman.

Still, animals gather and are sedated, the ark nears completion, and then the skies darken and empty.

It took guts to change Noah from the pious original naval architect into a two-fisted man of action, and then to cast Crowe in the part. But it works. Noah’s fanatical devotion to his faith and his task make him capable of anything.

Hopkins and Watson and Con-nolly provide the tale’s moving moments — scenes of heart and humility and hope. The acting is of the first rank, as you’d expect from a cast with three Oscar win-ners and some of the brightest ris-ing stars in film in it.

But the gutsiest move on

Aronofsky’s part is in the film’s interpretation of this tale through modern eyes. Here is a myth that allows Creation and Evolution to live in the same film, a touch of “Cosmos” with just a hint of “In the beginning,” as oral tradition. Effects assist the telling at every turn, but so does arresting geog-raphy.

Maybe it’s a little too sci-fi (check out the costumes, the met-allurgy, the pre-historic boots). It isn’t “The Ten Commandments” and Crowe is no Charlton Heston. But “Noah” makes Biblical myth grand in scope and intimate in appeal. The purists can always go argue over “God Isn’t Dead.” The rest of creation can appreciate this rousing good yarn, told with blood and guts and brawn and beauty, with just a hint of madness to the whole enterprise.

‘Noah’ gives Old Testament state-of-the-art Hollywood treatment


MOVIES

MINI-REVIEWSCompiled from news services.Ratings are one to four stars.

“August: Osage County” — The dialogue is some-times so sharp we wince, and the acting by an ensem-ble of world-class actors led by Meryl Streep, Julia Rob-erts, Ewan McGregor and Chris Cooper is for the most part superb. But this adap-tation of Tracy Letts’ play ultimately is sour, loud and draining. Nearly everyone in this story would be the most horrific person at your aver-age dinner party. Drama, R, 119 minutes. HH “Bad Words” — I loved the misanthrope played by Jason Bateman in his directorial debut, and you might, too, if your sense of humor is just sick enough. A loophole has allowed this big bowl of hate to compete against fourth-graders in a spelling bee, where he spews insults with a deadpan style that leaves his victims speechless. A pitch-black dark comedy. Comedy, R, 89 minutes. HHH1⁄2 “Ender’s Game” — A first-rate cast of wily veterans (Harrison Ford, Ben Kingsley) and fresh-faced youngsters (Asa Butterfield of “Hugo”) deliver a rousing, challeng-ing adventure that should satisfy most young fans of the beloved sci-fi novel while keeping the adults engrossed as well. The sim-ulated battles against scary aliens are beautifully shot and expertly choreographed. Sci-fi adventure, PG-13, 114 minutes. HHH “Enemy” — A history professor meets his more intense doppelganger in a weird, psychological, sexual thriller. Jake Gyllenhaal plays both roles, infusing each man with so many subtle but distinctive differences, we’re never confused about which of the Two Jakes we’re seeing onscreen. It’s quietly magnificent work. Thriller, R, 90 minutes. HHH “Frozen” — When a queen with icy powers (voice of Idina Menzel) accidentally freezes her kingdom, she runs away and her intrepid sister (Kristen Bell) goes to find her. Sure to delight kids and captivate adults, Disney’s musical “Frozen” is the instant favorite for

the animated feature Oscar. Animated musical, PG, 102 minutes. HHH1⁄2 “Her” — In writer-director Spike Jonze’s lovely and wondrous ultra-modern romance, a fragile fellow in the not-so-distant future (Joaquin Phoenix) falls in love with the voice of an operating system (Scarlett Johansson). One of the more original, hilarious and even heartbreaking stories of the year. It works both as a love story and as a commentary on the ways technology isolates us from human con-tact. Comedy-romance, R, 119 minutes. HHH1⁄2 “Inside Llewyn Davis” — With this dry comedy about the American folk music scene of the early 1960s, Ethan and Joel Coen have crafted another unique period piece. Oscar Isaac gives a memorable perfor-mance as the title charac-ter, a thoroughly unlikable, selfish, socially poisonous miscreant. The music is ter-rific. With Justin Timberlake, Carey Mulligan and John Goodman. Comedy, R, 105 minutes. HHH1⁄2 “Lone Survivor” — This re-creation of a 2005 Navy SEAL mission builds to one of the most realistic, shock-ing, gruesome and devastat-ing depictions of war ever put on film. Instead of going for the big-picture perspec-tive, director Peter Berg focuses on the unflinching bravery of soldiers executing their mission and looking out for one another. Mark Wahl-berg stars. War drama, R, 121 minutes. HHH “Mr. Peabody & Sherman” — The old TV cartoon about a genius dog, his adopted son and their time-traveling adven-tures becomes a whip-smart, consistently funny and good-natured film with terrific voice performances led by Ty Burrell as Peabody. Lots of sight gags and goofy puns, with some clever one-liners intended for the parents in the audience. Animated adventure, PG, 90 minutes. HHH “Nebraska” — What a joy it is to watch Bruce Dern playing such a miserable SOB in the best role of his long career. Woody Grant is a crabby, boozy, sometimes delusional old guy on a road trip with his son (Will Forte) to collect a sweepstakes

prize. Alexander Payne’s latest film is a modern American classic about the dynamic between a father from the generation that didn’t speak about its feel-ings and a grown son who’s still trying to get his father to explain himself. Stark, beau-tiful and memorable. Drama, R, 115 minutes. HHHH

“RoboCop” — The 2014 version of “RoboCop” takes advantage of the superior technology available now, but doesn’t match up to the original when it comes to story and cast. As Alex Murphy, the wounded officer converted into RoboCop, Joel Kinnaman comes across as a wooden human

being AND a wooden robot. Sci-fi action, PG-13, 118 minutes. HH “Son of God” — The first feature in recent memory telling us a life-spanning story of Jesus Christ recounts the events with great reverence but, alas, is not a good movie. The special effects are just OK, and in the title role, Portu-guese-born heartthrob Diogo Morgado hits a lot of wrong notes. Historical drama, PG-13, 138 minutes. H1⁄2 “That Awkward Moment” — Strives to straddle the line between breezy, broman-tic comedy and “Hangover”-esque guy humor – and fails miserably on both counts. Talented, charismatic actors including Zac Efron and Michael B. Jordan star in a not particularly offensive but utterly unmemorable film. Comedy, R, 94 minutes. H1⁄2 “The Art of the Steal” — Kurt Russell and Matt Dillon, two actors who just make you smile when they show up in a movie, play half-brothers in a jaunty caper film that, alas, doesn’t work. Writer-director Jonathan Sobol keeps things moving, the editing is tight and crisp, and the cast do their best to sell every scene, but it’s a tough sell when the payoff is neither all that stunning nor all that plausible. Crime caper, R, 90 minutes. HH “The Bag Man” — One can’t help but wonder what Robert De Niro and John Cusack saw in the script for “The Bag Man” that made two of our most interesting actors sign up for this irritat-ing mess of a movie. It’s warmed-over Tarantino mixed with a third-rate tribute to the Coen brothers with a dose of David Lynch-ian madness. Thriller, R, 108 minutes. H “The Monuments Men” — One of the most old-fashioned and at times almost breezy World War II films in recent memory is about middle-aged curators recovering art stolen by the Nazis. George Clooney directs himself and his co-stars (including Matt Damon and Bill Murray) as if he had watched “The Dirty Dozen” on a continuous loop for a week. Historical action, PG-13, 118 minutes. HHH “3 Days to Kill” — The term “guilty pleasure” was

invented for this kind of movie. Nearly every other scene is so audaciously terrible, you don’t know whether to cringe or chortle. But the star power of Kevin Costner as an aging CIA hit man turns schlock into pure entertainment. Action, PG-13, 117 minutes. HHH “300: Rise of an Empire” — If you loved the gloriously and gratuitously blood-spat-tered visual style of Zack Snyder’s epic “300,” you’ll probably enjoy the heck out of “300: Rise of an Empire,” which manages to be some-thing of a prequel, a sequel and a parallel story all at once. The performances, especially Eva Green as the warrior Artemisia, are uni-formly good, but this epic is foremost a triumph of design and CGI. Action fantasy, R, 103 minutes. HHH1⁄2 “12 Years a Slave” — is a film about great bravery, featuring some of the brav-est performances you’ll ever have the privilege to witness. Chiwetel Ejiofor stars as a free man in New York state in the 1840s, who is kid-napped and shipped to the South, where he is beaten, given a new name and forced into slavery. Unflinchingly directed by Steve McQueen, “12 Years a Slave” is what we talk about when we talk about greatness in film. With Michael Fassbender, Bene-dict Cumberbatch and Paul Giamatti. Drama, R, 134 minutes. HHHH “Veronica Mars” — This big-screen update of the Kristen Bell TV series, the result of a Kickstarter cam-paign, looks and feels like a glorified TV movie, with mostly unexceptional per-formances and ridiculous plot developments no more innovative than you’d see on a dozen network TV detec-tive shows. Crime comedy, PG-13, 108 minutes. HH “Winter’s Tale” — A good old-fashioned train wreck of a film. Despite the beloved source material, a talented writer-director (Akiva Golds-man) and an A-list cast headed by Colin Farrell and Russell Crowe, there’s no stopping the tide of the over-whelmingly cheesy story of love, romance and our place in the universe. It’s a gooey mess. Romance, PG-13, 118 minutes. H

EXHIBITIONS AT MoNA: Three new exhibits continue through June 15 at The Museum of Northwest Art, 121 S. First St., La Conner:

“Lucy Mae Martin: Hands On”: The artworks in the exhibition are wrapped and sandblasted stones rep-resenting a new side of the Skagit Valley artist’s heavy, creative work life. Mar-tin says, “I am inspired to engrave relief-style because there are millions of years tucked behind the surface of every beautiful, unique stone, and the sandblasting reveals these layers. I enjoy engraving Braille because it encourages total interaction with my work … I believe that everybody should be able to enjoy the arts in their own individual way.”

“Shapes of Abstraction from the Permanent Col-lection”: The exhibit offers a study of form and color

of new acquisitions with an ekphrastic poem (descrip-tion of a visual work of art) by Kathleen Flenniken. Curated by exhibitions director Lisa Young.

“John Cole: A Historical Perspective”: Recognized as one of the Pacific North-west’s leading landscape art-ists, John Cole (1936-2007) painted in the region for almost four decades. Favor-ing abstraction over literal description, Cole’s distinc-tive, muscular style sublime-ly expresses the quintessen-tial features of the majestic Northwest landscape — water, mountains and trees. This historical survey includes not just iconic land-scapes, but important figura-tive and still-life works that are less known, and traces the major influences on the artist as reflected in his oils, prints and drawings. Co-curated by Lisa Harris and Sarah Harvey of Lisa Harris Gallery with support from Lucille Cole, the John D. Cole Estate, Patty Stonesi-fer and Michael Kinsley.

The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday and Mon-day. Free admission. 360-466-4446 or museum ofnwart.org.

embroidered suzanis that were collected by Cali-fornia artist Miriam Wosk over her lifetime (1947-2010), and served as inspi-ration pieces for her elab-orate collage and painted works.
