“The Amazing Spider-Man”: Direc-tor Marc Webb and screen writers James Vanderbilt, Alvin Sargent and Steve Kloves found a way to spin the story of the comic book hero with enough originality to appease fans while not straying too far from the well-known Spidey mythology cre-ated by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko a half-century ago. The film has a few bugs. Spider-Man purists will have to deal with the adjustments made to the character’s history, especially the spi-der bite not being as random as before. And there’s a key story element never resolved, and it’s not a plot point that’s necessary for a sequel. Otherwise, this reboot of Spider-Man is amazing.

“Brave”: A young Scottish girl rebels against family traditions. With a string of well-written and dazzling-looking movies, it seemed like Pixar could do no animation wrong. But the company’s latest effort shows it isn’t perfect. The animation is still amaz-ing, but an ill-conceived story leaves this production as appealing as a two-leaf clover. The animation is eye-popping. The animals look so real it’s almost impossible to tell whether they are animated or filmed. Each back-ground is a beautiful tapestry of earth tones that give the movie an inviting warmth. The visuals are far more stun-ning in 2-D; the 3-D does little except to muddle the color. But the character designs lack any originality.

“Savages”: This is Oliver Stone’s film based on Don Winslow’s best-selling crime novel. Most of Stone’s latest film is a gritty and gruesome look at the lives of two entrepreneurs who end up being forced to work with a Mexican cartel. The film is dimin-ished by a contrived ending and Blake Lively’s weak narration.

“The Incredible Mel Brooks: An Irresistible Collection of Unhinged Comedy”: The 5-DVD set contains interviews, film clips and TV footage.

“Lost Girl: The Complete Second Season”: Anna Silk stars.

“2 Days in New York”: Julie Delpy’s sequel to “2 Days in Paris.”

MUSIC

Skagit Valley Herald staff

One of the Northwest’s iconic blues artists comes to Mount Vernon this weekend to help celebrate the birthday of a local arts pioneer.

Singer/harmonica player Curtis Sal-gado brings his band to the Lincoln Theater on Saturday to perform in a fun-draiser for The Rick Epting Foundation for the Arts. Bobby Holland and Bread-line, a favorite local blues band, will open for Salgado.

Epting, who died in 2005, was a cham-pion for local arts and music programs. According to a news release for Satur-day’s concert, he was one of the founding members of the Lincoln Theatre Center Foundation and the Skagit Performing Arts Council. He was also instrumen-tal in the restoration campaign for the Lincoln Theatre and the planning and organization for McIntyre Hall in Mount Vernon, the release said.

Salgado’s story is widely known and as unique as any in the entertainment business. He’s originally from Everett and has been playing regionally, nation-ally and internationally for decades. He’s performed and recorded with Bon-nie Raitt, Muddy Waters, Albert Col-lins, Robert Cray and countless others; toured with Steve Miller and The Doobie Brothers; and sang lead vocals for a time with Carlos Santana.

Salgado uncovered what would even-tually become an international phenom-enon in the late 1970s. While performing in Eugene, Ore., Salgado’s performance was seen by comedian John Belushi, the red-hot “Saturday Night Live” star who was filming “Animal House” in town.

Belushi was transfixed by Salgado’s performance, the two became friends, and Salgado became Belushi’s musical inspiration. Belushi soon teamed with SNL’s Dan Aykroyd — also a huge blues fan — and formed the Blues Brothers, resulting in a hugely successful album (“Briefcase Full of Blues”) and a classic movie.

Salgado, who has endured some health problems in recent years, still tours heavily and plays blues festivals around the world. He was awarded the 2010 Blues Music Award for Soul Blues Artist Of The Year. His latest CD “Soul Shot” (Alligator), alternately swings and stomps between classic R&B and heart-wrenching soul.Rick Epting

RECREATION

Plenty of bounty available for the Thanksgiving feastBy VINCE RICHARDSONStaff Writer

There’s more than one way to put a turkey on your table for Thanksgiving. Thousands of hunt-ers plan to get their bird during the hunting season for wild turkey, which gets under way Tuesday, Nov. 20, in Eastern Washington.

November is also prime time to hunt ducks, geese, elk, deer, pheas-ant, forest grouse and a variety of other game around the state.

“Waterfowl hunting usually picks up around the middle of the month, when the wet and windy weather starts pushing more migrating birds into the area from the north,” said Don Kraege, waterfowl manager for the Wash-ington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW). “That’s good news for waterfowl hunters from the Skagit Valley to the Columbia Basin.”

November is also prime time to hunt deer and elk on both sides of the Cascades.

For anglers, Thanksgiving tra-ditionally marks the start of win-ter steelhead fishing in Western Washington, where coho and chum salmon also start moving in from the ocean.

On the eastside, anglers are still reeling in high numbers of hatchery-reared summer steelhead from the upper Columbia River and several major tributaries.

Most areas of Puget Sound are open for crab fishing, and two mul-tiday razor clam digs are sched-uled at various ocean beaches in November.

Meanwhile, birders throughout the nation are making prepara-tions for the 113th Christmas Bird Count, scheduled for Dec. 14 through Jan. 5, 2013. Sponsored by the National Audubon Society, the event enlists tens of thousands of volunteers throughout the Ameri-cas to count and categorize the birds they see for science.

The rainy season is setting in and the days are getting shorter, but anglers still have a variety of fishing opportunities from which

to choose in November. Three more areas open for chinook salm-on fishing in Puget Sound, where the winter Dungeness crab fishery is also under way. Steelhead fish-ing should catch fire by the end of the month.

Chinook salmon fishing began Nov. 1 in marine areas 8-1 (Decep-tion Pass, Hope Island, and Skagit Bay), 8-2 (Port Susan and Port Gardner) and 9 (Admiralty Inlet). There is a two-salmon daily limit, and wild chinook salmon must be released.

Anglers are reminded that Marine Area 7 (San Juan Islands) closed to salmon retention Nov. 1.

Meanwhile, sport crabbing is open seven days a week through Dec. 31 in marine areas 4 (Neah Bay), 5 (Sekiu), 6 (eastern Strait of Juan de Fuca), 7 (San Juan Islands), 8-1 (Deception Pass, Hope Island, and Skagit Bay), 8-2

(Port Susan and Port Gardner), 9 (Admiralty Inlet), 12 (Hood Canal) and 13 (South Puget Sound).

The daily catch limit in Puget Sound is five Dungeness crab, males only, in hard-shell condition with a minimum carapace width of 6¼ inches. In addition, fishers may catch six red-rock crab of either gender per day, provided those crab measure at least 5 inches across.

All crab caught in the late-sea-son fishery should be recorded on winter catch cards, which are valid until Dec. 31. Winter cards are available at license vendors across the state, and catch reports are due to WDFW by Feb. 1, 2013.

Several rivers are open in November for salmon fishing, including the Nooksack, Samish, Skagit, Cascade, Stillaguamish, Snohomish, Skykomish, Wallace,

Snoqualmie and Green.The Skagit, Snohomish and

Green are also good spots for winter steelhead fishing, said Bob Leland, WDFW’s steelhead pro-gram manager.

“Anglers can certainly find some hatchery steelhead early in the month,” he said. “But fishing usually starts to pick up around Thanksgiving.”

Because regulations vary for each river, anglers should check WDFW’s sportfishing regulations pamphlet before heading out.

This month is prime time for waterfowl hunting in the region, where more birds are expected to arrive as the month progresses. After a typical late-October lull in activity, hunting usually improves in mid-November, when the num-bers of migrating birds pick up along with wet and windy weather.

Goose hunting resumed Nov.

3 in Skagit and Snohomish coun-ties (Goose Management Area 1); snow, Ross and blue geese seasons there run continuously through Jan. 29. The duck hunting season continues through Jan. 27.

Upland bird hunters have through Nov. 30 to hunt pheasants, California quail and bobwhite, while the forest grouse season runs through Dec. 31.

The late modern firearm season for deer runs today through Sun-day. The modern firearm season for elk closed Thursday.

Archers and muzzleloaders also have late-season opportunities in select game management units. Archery hunts for deer and elk get started Nov. 21, when muzzle-loader hunts for elk also get under way. Late muzzleloader hunts for elk open Nov. 21 in select Western Washington game management units, and deer muzzleloader hunts open Nov. 22.

Before heading out, hunters should check the WDFW’s Big Game Hunting pamphlet and the Waterfowl and Upland Game pamplets for details.

More and more birders are making their way to the region to view snow geese, which continue to arrive in increasing numbers. Thousands of snow geese winter in Western Washington each year. Most of those birds congregate in the Skagit Valley, and can be found in the area from mid-October through early May.

A great place to view the snow geese is at the Fir Island Farms Reserve Unit of WDFW’s Skagit Wildlife Area.

With hunting seasons under way in parts of the region, some birders have called WDFW to ask whether they should wear hunter-orange clothing while in the field.

“It’s not a legal requirement for bird watchers,” said Bill Tweit, a WDFW policy analyst and avid birder. “But it only makes sense to make every effort to let hunters know where you are when you’re sharing the same area.”

REVIEWS

MUSIC CDS

Compiled from news services

One Direction“Take Me Home”

One Direc-tion’s sophomore album, “Take Me Home,” comes one year after the group released its debut, “Up All Night,” in the United King-dom. The latter came out in America just eight months ago, has already sold 1.3 mil-lion units and is still in the Top 25.

The wholesome-looking quintet has joined Justin Bieber in the affections of girls everywhere, with their puppy eyes, trendy haircuts and rather good voices. And the boy band’s new album delivers on the brief, vaguely catchy songs that appeal to both the romantic and the wild side of teenage girls.

The record relies heavily on perky and melancholic guitars, and on romantic invita-tions like “I want to be your last first kiss” on “Last First Kiss,” which then veer into the leery “Tonight let’s get some” on the very honest and upbeat first single, “Live While We’re Young.” It’s full of riffs that haven’t been heard since the 1990s boy bands took their final bows.

The album feels relentless in rhythm, sometimes even during the ballads, with a homogenous sound and message — like a teenage boy who says all the right words in a rush to get what he wants. But this time they’re only singing the right words to get to your wallets and adoration. And they’re most likely going to get it.

‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn ...’Various artists

It’s a sad goodbye from “The Twilight Saga,” which sees its last installment, “Breaking Dawn — Part 2,” hit the big screen this week. The soundtrack reflects a chocked-up melancho-lia that lingers over the sound like dust over old boxes of family photos.

This final film steps away from the romantic dilemmas of previous outings into

a tense confrontation between vampire factions. Yet the album is more focused on delivering a soulful sound that is neither too arcane, nor too mainstream. It’s just quirky enough to be embraced by the hordes of teenagers who’ve grown up alongside Bella and Edward.

Nikki Reed, who plays Rosalie Hale in the film, makes an appearance on the instrument-stripped piano ballad “All I’ve Ever Needed,” alongside her husband and former “American Idol” contestant Paul McDonald. Green Day, the biggest act on the soundtrack, is bland on “Forgotten.”

The rest of the songs alternate between diaphanous guitars like POP ETC’s “Speak Up” or dreamy tunes like Feist’s “Fire in the Water” and James Vincent McMorrow’s “Ghosts.” There’s also haunting strings, like on “New for You” by Reeve Carney, best known for playing the lead in Broadway’s “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.”

It’s all a bit wailing, like a highly enjoy-able mourning parade that performs at its own death.

n Cristina Jaleru, Associated Press

Lana Del Rey“Paradise”

Lana Del Rey’s new eight-track EP “Para-dise” shows the singer is still in the same emo-tional flux she was when she released her debut album 10 months ago. She’s lamenting the pains of love.

Del Rey has an almost affected vulner-ability in her voice, at certain points its quivering adds to the gravitas of the lyrics, like when she sings “Don’t turn around, leave me high and dry” on the Rick Rubin-produced first single, “Ride.” The song was co-written by Justin Parker, who helmed most of her debut, “Born to Die,” along with Emile Haynie. “Ride” is as perfect as “Video Games,” the single that propelled her into the limelight.

“American” uses simple strings and piano, which allows her smoky, effortless vocals to take control. “Cola” continues the Ameri-cana theme, but in a playful, tongue-in-cheek way. And “Body Electric” sounds like it’s straight from a Western film, where Del Rey is again playfully poking fun at America

— “Elvis is my daddy, Marilyn’s my mother,” she claims.

The 26-year-old’s entrancing vocals make it almost hypnotic to listen to anything she sings, but that’s not always the case: “Bel Air” and “Yayo” are just fillers.

n Sian Watson, Associated Press

Beres Hammond“One Love, One Life”

Legendary crooner Beres Hammond, one of the most recognizable voices in all of Jamaica, is back with “One Love, One Life,” a 20-track double album with steady grooves and some bonafide classics.

Self-produced and recorded in his Kings-ton studio, Hammond has organized a record that splits into matters of the heart (“One Love”) and social consciousness (“One Life.”)

“No Candle Light” is instantly amazing, Hammond is ever the gentleman on the tender midtempo groove “In My Arms,” and the romantic ballad “Lonely Fellow” is sincere.

The second album is calm and refreshing, full of songs that will uplift. One bright spot is the title track, where Hammond makes it clear that he isn’t “singing for fame.”

The 57-year-old came on the music scene in 1970s and he has a voice that doesn’t seem to age. He adds another jewel in his crown with his new album.

n Bianca Roach, Associated Press

Judy Garland“The Amsterdam Concert — December 1960”

You might call this “The Road to Carnegie Hall Part 2.” After a near-death experience from hepatitis late in 1959, Garland decamped to London, where a series of recording sessions and concerts led up to her return to New York in her famous “Live at Carnegie Hall” concert and album. This live set, the second

volume released by First Hand, was record-ed by Dutch radio four months before New York with Garland in excellent voice and sounding incredibly relaxed and playful.

The repertoire is close to “Carnegie Hall,” but tempos are less driven. After an uncer-tain beginning, there are superior readings of such songs as “You Go to My Head” and “Come Rain or Come Shine.” During the latter, she runs out of breath on the final note (as at Carnegie Hall) but later explains how she usually disguises such things. It’s all very candid and homey, especially during encores: “We’ve got an old thing that I sang in 1783 in a movie — and that was the last one I was in, by the way …”

n David Patrick Stearns, The Philadelphia Inquirer

Bobby Bare“Darker Than Light”

He has scored more than 30 Top 20 hits, but at 77 Bobby Bare has main-tained a lower profile, and been lioned less, than such contemporaries as Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard. This album, his first in seven years, is a reminder of how good he is.

With backing that features members of Robert Plant’s Band of Joy, including Buddy Miller on guitar, and covers of U2’s “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” and Dylan’s “Farewell, Angelina” (not the first time Bare has covered the Bard), “Darker Than Light” obviously aims to earn Bare some cachet among hip tastemakers. Yet he remains his unpretentious, down-home self.

The two aforementioned numbers not-withstanding, the album relies heavily on folk and blues standards. It’s a measure of the still-robust Bare’s deeply engaging manner and expressive abilities that he can make such familiar fare as “House of the Rising Sun,” “Dark as a Dungeon,” and “Tom Dooley” sound fresh and compel-ling. Meanwhile, his own poignant “I Was a Young Man Once” showcases songwriting skills that remain sharp, and “The Devil and Billy Markham,” a poem by Shel Silverstein set to music, echoes the pair’s landmark col-laborations of the ’70s.

‘Assassin’s Creed III’Platforms: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PCGenre: AdventurePublisher: UbisoftESRB Rating: M, for MatureGrade: 4.5 stars (out of 5)

Few gaming franchises could take on an epic challenge like the forging of America. “Assassin’s Creed III” not only weaves its hero into the retelling of the American Revolution, but does so in beautiful and often-gruesome fashion.

The New World wasn’t all bonnets and cornucopias. It was a young land filled with eagerness and colored with blood. “AC3” alternates between future and past with our long-running series hero, Desmond, and his connection to the past, in this edition a half-British, half-Native American warrior named Connor.

Connor’s life is amazingly intertwined with major moments of America’s birth in New York and Boston. Paul Revere, the Boston Tea Party and other major (and minor) elements of colonial times make appearances and interact with him. You’ll sneak around forests eliminating groups of soldiers, while in other set pieces engage in thrilling sea battles aboard enormous can-non-laden ships. There are quieter moments as well, slyly assassinating targets while sneaking around the city’s rooftops, or mak-ing a life for yourself as you expand your countryside homestead.

A game this ambitious in scope (and trust me, its scale is grandiose) means inconsis-tencies are bound to show up. Tree branches rarely sway or bend even with humans run-ning along them; some clipping occurs with characters getting stuck in walls and mis-sions need restarting when a required event never happens. These gameplay and pre-sentation hiccups show up more often than you’d like, but they don’t ruin the flow.

Online multiplayer returns, with an impressive expansion of content and modes that were first introduced in “Brotherhood.” Nothing raises the tension more than skulk-ing around a city looking for a player to silently kill while knowing there are others aiming to do the same to you.

‘LittleBig-Planet Karting’Platform: PlayStation 3Genre: RacingPublisher: SonyESRB Rating: E, for EveryoneGrade: 3 stars

Going for that second helping of Thanksgiving pie. It’s that kind of play-ful gluttony that infuses “LittleBigPlanet Karting,” a new entry that brightens your day just when you thought that the world had exhausted itself gorging on kart rac-ing.

Racers would do well to begin their journey in the story mode, as it provides a nice setup to what comes down the pike. The racing is pretty standard fare on the surface. Intricate track layouts feature hidden shortcuts and weapons dot the track to help make things interesting. The unhinged goofiness of the “LBP” fran-chise litters the screen, with racetracks designed from cardboard cutouts and cus-tomizable karts of every variety.

Other karting games encourage pande-monium, with explosions and high-speed turns littering the track, but “LBP Kart-ing” tends to favor more strategic rac-ing, saving weapons until they are most needed and focusing on proper drifting when hitting the curves at high speed. Sometimes you sense that fun is sacrificed for precision.

Of course, no “LBP” game stops at the story mode. Creating and sharing your own levels and minigames is a franchise staple. But viewing the complex tutorial for level creation takes longer than watch-ing some Hollywood films. This leaves gamers relying on others with more time and skill to share their creations. “LBP” games thrive on strong user-generated content, and “Karting” will need dedicat-ed fans for it to have staying power.

Workers work on streetcar track construction Nov. 8 on Loyola Avenue in New Orleans. With the Super Bowl less than three months away, New Orleans is rushing to lay streetcar tracks through one of its busiest corridors to connect by trolley the Louisiana Superdome, where the game will be played Feb. 3, and the French Quarter.

NEW ORLEANS — With the Super Bowl less than three months away, New Orleans is rushing to lay streetcar tracks through one of its busiest corridors to connect by trolley the Louisiana Superdome and the French Quarter.

The Big Easy — which will be the site of the big game Feb. 3 — is no strang-er to Super Bowls. In the 47 years of game’s history, this will be the 10th time for New Orleans to play host.

But this will be the city’s first Super Bowl since Hur-ricane Katrina struck in August 2005, killing hun-dreds and leaving 80 per-cent of the city under water at the time.

The snarled traffic, con-struction crews and flying dust along Loyola Avenue where the new streetcar line is being laid embodies the frantic pace of prepara-tions for the Super Bowl. Streets are being repaved in the French Quarter, the airport is undergoing a major renovation, and crews are fixing sidewalks, lights and potholes.

For many locals, the streetcar is seen as more than a show of Super Bowl pizazz.

“For anybody who’s trying to cut down on gas, walk out their front door,

go a few blocks and catch the transit system, it’ll be good,” said Robert Miles, a 47-year-old chef at one of the big hotels on Loyola. “It was not a waste of money.”

The line will run nearly a mile down Loyola from the Union Passenger Terminal, where Amtrak trains and intercity buses are based, to Canal Street.

On Canal Street, travel-ers will be able to hop onto other streetcars and get to the nearby French Quarter, the National World War II Museum, the Cemetery District, the oaks of Audu-bon Park, the mansions of St. Charles Avenue and the art museum, golf courses and lagoons of City Park.

The last new streetcar line opened in 2004 when the Canal Street streetcar, which had been discontin-ued in 1964, was restored to service. The riverfront streetcar started service in 1988.

Funding comes from a $45 million federal trans-portation grant. The U.S. Department of Transporta-tion is funding similar lines in other cities to connect long-distance railway trav-elers to streetcars.

The target is a traveler like Lawrence Freeman, a 50-year-old photogra-pher from Seattle. He had recently arrived at the

Union Passenger Terminal by train from Washington, getting in late one evening. He walked from the train station to his hotel.

“I’m a walker, it was no big deal, except that I don’t know what this area is, I don’t know where I’m going,” he said about his

walk into downtown. “I just headed for the tall build-ings.”

If there had been a streetcar, he said he would have taken it. Travelers will be able to do just that by mid-January, when the Loyola line is completed.

But the project also is

viewed as a downtown revi-talization tool.

“Until the streetcar was announced, there was little activity, or anticipation of development along Loyola,” said James Amdal, senior fellow at the Transportation Institute at the University of New Orleans. “That has definitely changed.”

The changes along Loyola are palpable. High-rises that had been empty for years — vacant well before Katrina hit — are being renovated. An upscale supermarket opened nearby and a $75 million residential and

retail project called the South Market District is set to start soon.

“Streetcars have proven to be an incredible source for revitalizing commercial corridors,” said Rachel Heiligman, executive direc-tor of the advocacy group Transport for NOLA.

Still, it hasn’t all gone smoothly.

The work is running over budget and is behind schedule. The New Orleans Regional Transit Authority pegs the cost at $52 million, about $7 million more than projected.

“When you open up a street in a city this old you find things that you don’t expect,” said RTA spokes-woman Patrice Bell Mer-cadel. “This has become more than a streetcar proj-ect.”

Power company Entergy New Orleans and the city’s sewerage department have been brought in and utilities have had to be relocated. Workers found a petri-fied cypress log and an old underground ice house no one knew existed, she said. The work also has run into an old arched brick sewer main.

Also, some streetcar advocates say putting a line down Loyola was a silly proposition in the first place.

“I told them they should have gone down Rampart

Street where there had already been a streetcar line,” said Jack Stewart, a local streetcar historian.

He also was unhappy with the decision to place the streetcar tracks on Loyola’s roadway instead of on the median like other streetcars in the city. Even the city’s new master plan calls for streetcars to run on their own lanes separate from vehicular traffic.

“It’s a grand mess,” Stew-art said. “It’s a streetcar from nowhere to nowhere that will get mired in traffic. During the football game it will not be able to oper-ate because there will be so many cars.”

There’s also the fear this project — designed to appeal to downtown tour-ists— is using up money

that might have been spent on streetcar projects with greater benefits for strug-gling neighborhoods. For years, plans for a streetcar to run down St. Claude Avenue into the city’s older immigrant neighborhoods have been foiled.

“If the priorities are directed to the local resi-dent and the local economy and not the tourist economy, then you strengthen your real city, and you keep it strong for tourism, versus creating a downtown that is increasingly like Disney-land,” said Roberta Brandes Gratz, a New York writer and urban critic who recent-ly bought a house in New Orleans. “If tourism is your most important economic driver, you have a bank-ruptcy of ideas.”

Thanksgiving meals in the area

By RICH HELDENFELSAkron Beacon Journal

Q: Is “CSI: Miami” going to come back on the air?

A: I have received several questions about the fate of the CBS drama starring David Caruso. This may tell you something about how we view the TV season — wait-ing until as late as November before we think a network schedule is finally set (and then bracing for more chang-es in the new year).

But to answer the ques-tion, the series has been canceled, without hope for reprieve. The DVD set of the 10th-season episodes from 2011-12 proclaims it’s “the final season.” When the show’s demise was announced in May, the Los Angeles Times noted the show “had dealt with depressed ratings and sharply increased production

costs in recent seasons.” CBS moved “The Mentalist” into “Miami’s” Sunday slot with the hope that the younger series could draw and keep an audience.

Fans of “Miami” noted that its ratings were about the same as companion show “CSI: NY,” which was renewed, and a top CBS executive said that when it came time to decide which of those CSIs to keep, “it was almost a jump ball.” “NY” got the nod because it fit well with another Friday show, the New York-set “Blue Bloods,” and CBS had hopes for a geographically themed night on Fridays by adding “Made in Jersey” to the mix. But as I noted in a previous mailbag, “Made in Jersey” proved unsuccessful.

Q: Colby Donaldson hosts “Top Shot” on the History channel. What is his own

experience with guns?A: In the series’ compan-

ion book, also called “Top Shot,” Donaldson says this of his shooting experience:

“I learned to shoot when I was 6 years old and that experience is one of my best childhood memories. My father taught me on a Win-chester single-shot .22 rifle that was the first gun that he bought when he was a kid. I’ve been into guns ever since.”

The series has done well for History, and Donaldson tweeted recently that a fifth season has completed pro-duction for an air date to be determined.

People who do not watch “Top Shot” may remember Donaldson as a contestant on “Survivor,” where he was the runner-up in the second season and returned for the “All Stars and Heroes Vs. Villains” seasons.

No more Miami for ‘CSI’; ‘Top Shot’ host

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

“Argo” — Ben Affleck directs and stars in the incredible true story of how, at the height of the Iranian hostage crisis, a CIA agent and a couple of Hollywood professionals dreamed up a cockamamie scheme to free six Americans who were not being held in the American Embassy but had found refuge with the Canadian Embassy. Kept top secret for 18 years, the operation created a fake sci-fi produc-tion named “Argo,” con-vinced the Iranians it was real and used it to spirit the Americans out of the coun-try. With lots of tension and also some humor from John Goodman and Alan Arkin as the Hollywood pros involved. Drama, R, 120 minutes. HHHH “Flight” — After opening with one of the most terrify-ing flying scenes I’ve wit-nessed, in which an airplane is saved by being flown upside-down, Robert Zem-eckis’ “Flight” segues into a brave and tortured perfor-mance by Denzel Washing-ton -- one of his very best. Not often does a movie char-acter make such a harrowing personal journey that keeps us in deep sympathy all of the way. Washington plays a veteran commercial pilot who has built up a tolerance for quantities of alcohol and cocaine that would be lethal for most people. Drama, R, 138 minutes. HHHH “Lincoln” — Steven Spielberg’s new film focus-es on only a few months of Lincoln’s life, including the passage of the 13th Amendment ending slavery, the surrender of the Con-federacy and his assas-sination. Rarely has a film attended more carefully to the details of politics. Daniel Day-Lewis creates a Lincoln who is calmly self-confident, patient and willing to play politics in a realistic way. Not about an icon of history, but about a president who was scorned by some of his opponents as a hayseed from the backwoods. He understood them better than they did him. Sure to win many Academy Award nomina-tions. Drama, PG-13, 149 minutes. HHHH

‘Anna Karenina’ too extravagant for its own goodA nna Karenina and

Madame Bovary are two of the most noto-

rious fallen women in litera-ture. Karenina is prepared to lose all the advantages of

high society in favor of the man she loves. Bova-ry abandons the man who loves her in an attempt to social climb. As portrayed by Leo Tolstoy and Gustave

Flaubert, both are devastat-ed by the prices they pay.

These are two of the great roles for many actresses, and irresistible challenges for many filmmakers. There have been 25 film versions of Karenina, most famously by Greta Garbo (1927 and 1935) and Vivien Leigh, and nine of Bovary, notably by Isabelle Huppert, Jennifer Jones and Pola Negri; Mia Wasikowska will play her next year.

I mention these details to ask myself: What makes the two roles so enticing every good actress must sooner or later read the novels and start to daydream? Both are mothers who essentially choose to abandon their single children. Both are the center of attention and gos-sip within their own circles. Both use opera houses as a stage for their affairs. Both pay dearly for their adulter-ies. The big difference is that Karenina is driven by sin-cere passion, and Bovary by selfishness and greed. Kar-

enina inspires pity; Bovary gets what she deserves.

In Joe Wright’s dar-ingly stylized new version of “Anna Karenina,” he returns for the third time to use Keira Knightley as his heroine. She is almost distractingly beautiful here, and elegantly gowned to an improbable degree. One practical reason for that: As much as half of Wright’s film is staged within an actu-al theater, and uses not only the stage but the boxes and even the main floor — with seats removed — to pres-ent the action. We see the actors in the wings, the stage machinery, the trickery with backdrops, horses galloping across in a steeplechase.

All the world’s a stage, and we but players on it. Yes, and particularly in Karenina’s case because she fails to realize how true that is. She makes choices that are unacceptable in the high society of St. Petersburg and Moscow, and behaves as if they were invisible. She doesn’t seem to realize the audience is right there and paying close attention. She believes she can flaunt the rules and get away with it.

When we meet her she is the pretty young wife of the important government min-ister Karenin (Jude Law). He is affectionate, but dry and remote. The love she lacks for him she lavishes on their 8-year-old son. At the train station to meet Dolly, the wife of her brother, Count Oblonsky (Matthew Macfadyen), she sees the dashing young officer Vron-sky (Aaron Taylor-Johnson).

For both of them it’s love at first sight. He seems very young, and perhaps not schooled in society’s rules. She should know better.

All society appears in public at the opera and grand balls (both staged by Wright in the theater), and after Anna and Vronsky meet at a ball, the die is cast. In this film Wright and his screenwriter, Tom Stoppard, make adequate room for a landowner named Levin (Domhnall Gleeson), who

for Tolstoy was the third major character and certain-ly the most attractive. Levin represents Tolstoy’s ideas in the novel: He is for abolish-ing serfdom and liberating his own serfs and has a near-mystical bond with the land and its cultivation. He hopes to marry Kitty (Alicia Vikander), who has a crush on Vronsky, but at the ball Vronsky has eyes only for Anna, and the outcome is happiness for Kitty and Levin.

Anna’s husband is not blind, and soon knows about her affair. He is very firm. If they continue (affairs are not unknown in their circle), she must be discreet and secretive. Anna’s heart is too aflame to conceal her love with Vronsky, and pays the price of separation from her husband and her beloved son. Society is satis-fied. She has sinned, and she has been punished. Her punishment is far from over, and the lesson she dearly learns is that passion may be temporary, but scandal is permanent.

This is a sumptuous film, extravagantly staged and photographed, perhaps too much so for its own good. There are times when it is not quite clear if we are looking at characters in a story or players on a stage. Productions can sometimes upstage a story, but when the story is as considerable as “Anna Karenina,” that can be a miscalculation.

“Silver Linings Playbook” — Pat (Bradley Cooper) is con-fident and upbeat for a man just released from a mental hospital and under a restrain-ing order from his wife. He’s determined to surprise every-one by moving ever onward and upward. What stage of bipolar disorder would you guess he’s in? His parents (Robert De Niro and Jacki Weaver) are well-meaning but dubious. A prickly neighborhood widow (Jennifer Lawrence) wants to sleep with him and is offended that he’s interested only because she’s in touch with his ex-wife. This all somehow comes down to intersecting bets about a football game and a ballroom dance contest. Comedy-drama, R, 122 minutes. HHH1⁄2 “Sinister” — A story made of darkness, mysterious loud bangs in the attic, distant moans from the dead, vulner-able children, an egomaniacal crime writer and his long-suffering wife, who is plenty fed up -- even before she discovers he has moved his family into the same house where horrifying murders took place. Ethan Hawke stars as the best-selling true crime writer, Juliet Rylance is his

increasingly alarmed wife and their children experience night terrors and sleepwalking. Few films have ever been bathed in so much darkness. Thriller, R, 109 minutes. HHH “Skyfall” — “Skyfall” tri-umphantly reinvents 007 in one of the best Bonds ever made. This is a full-blooded, joyous, intelligent celebration of a beloved cultural icon, with Daniel Craig taking full posses-sion of a role he earlier played unconvincingly. The film at last provides a role worthy of Judi Dench, returning as M, who is one of the best actors of her generation. She is all but the co-star, with a lot of screen time, poignant dialogue, and a character who is far more complex and sympathetic than we expect. In this 50th year of the James Bond series, with the dismal “Quantum of Sol-ace” (2008) still in our minds, I don’t know what I expected in Bond No. 23, but certainly not an experience this invigorat-ing. If you haven’t seen a 007 for years, this is the time to jump back in. Action, PG-13, 143 minutes. HHHH “This Must Be the Place” — Centers on another uncom-promising character invention

by Sean Penn, who plays an aging rock star who comes across as an arthritic bag lady and reveals without the slight-est effort that there is a good heart and a quiet sense of humor inside. Famous in the 1980s, now mostly forgotten, Cheyenne still clings to his grotesque makeup although he lacks the legs and breath to perform. Living in Ireland with his longtime wife, Jane (Frances McDormand), he visits America to see his dying father, and getting into motion again budges him into transformation. Drama, R, 118 minutes. HHH1⁄2 “Wreck-It Ralph” — The new Disney animated feature for families takes place inside several arcade-style video games, providing an excuse for the backgrounds, ground rules and characters to con-stantly reinvent themselves. Its hero is one of those clumsy, misunderstood big guys who dream only of being loved. Ralph (voice by John C. Reilly) spends every day knocking down an apartment building, which is constantly repaired by Fix-It Felix Jr. (Jack McBrayer). Animated comedy, PG, 101 minutes. HHH

“Pilchuck: IDEAS”: Cel-ebrating 50 years of studio glass, the show features work from the Pilchuck permanent collection rare-ly seen off the famous glass school’s campus. These pieces from the early days of the revolution in stu-dio glass were created by some of the most impor-tant artists working in the medium, including Dale Chihuly, William Morris, Joey Kirkpatrick, Flora Mace, Ben Moore, Lino Tagliapietra, Italo Scanga and more.

The works on display are especially significant because they show these artists in the process of teaching, experimenting and in some cases search-ing for iconic forms and expressions for which they have become famous. Groupings of early glass are shown next to mature examples of the artists’ work from private collec-tions.
