The Marvel Universe Explodes in Avengers: Infinity WarI was among the privileged

audience to first see Aveng-ers: Infinity War. There was little advance detail about what the film contained, oth-er than it had the entire Mar-vel Universe in play. And, in-deed it does. Hot on the heels of the stu-

pendously successful block-buster Black Panther, every Marvel superhero from the last iteration of their Uni-verse – other than the Fan-tastic Four, the X-Men, and the Netflix Hell’s Kitchen Defender series shows up – Thor, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Dr. Strange, Iron Man, Bruce Banner/Hulk, Vision,

the Scarlet Witch, the Black Widow, Captain America, Spider-Man, Black Panther, White Wolf, etc. Yowser! Quite the assemblage!Last year’s DC comic book

extravaganza featuring the Justice League (Batman, Su-perman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, the Flash, and Cyborg), was another such team-up movie that threw every important character in their respective Universe at the wall. The big difference between

these two comic book pano-plies is simply this – the Marvel Universe as first written by its venerable

creator Stan Lee, included a light-hearted take on even the most threatening situa-tion. Lee imbued every one of his comic book characters with a bit of wit and this has carried on through the mov-ies. In effect, comic (book) relief, and usually clever.When DC, in their esti-

mable miscalculation, re-vived the Batman character, first under the helm of goth death-culture impresario Tim Burton, and then fur-ther blackened their sto-ryline with Frank Miller’s humorless Dark Knight, the two comic book Universes, couldn’t have become more

disparate. There’s the rub…Marvel has

made movies out of comic books, and kept the joy of childish imagination and amusement in their prod-uct. DC, went all serious, and made movies that tried to be dramatic and adult-oriented. And, other than Wonder

Woman, their big screen ef-forts just don’t have the legs to compete. When they have to rely on the current Bat Man, Ben Affleck, to deliver in snippets the only droll hu-mor in a two and a half hour movie, I would suggest their franchise is in trouble. Now, onto the massive Mar-

vel effort being released this weekend—Avengers: Infin-ity War. Here we have all of the aforementioned Marvel biggies facing the most dan-gerous threat yet to all life in the universe – the enor-mous bodied purple-skinned Titan warlord Thanos (Josh Brolin). He's intent upon capturing the essence of all existence which is encapsu-lated in six so-named Infin-ity Stones, each one instilled with a single source of life itself —Time, Space, Power, Mind, Soul and Reality. Suf-fice it to say that this stuff is not mentioned in the Bible… Continued on Page 2

CINEMA CULTURE Continued from Page 1

If Thanos can first find, then place, each of the six Infinity Stones in the special gauntlet which he wears on his hand (see above), he can control the entirety of existing life in the universe. His plan? Apparently an intergalactic advocate of Malthusian population theory, Thanos believes that the only way to maintain life in the universe is to eliminate half of all living beings. So, there you go, if Thanos gets all six stones, he will kill uncountable beings. Two of the Stones are on earth, one, Time, in the hands of Dr. Strange (Benedict Cum-

berbatch), and another, Mind, stuck in the forehead of Vision (Paul Bettany). The other Stones have been secreted away, and Thanos and his massive armies have waged war on whatever planets hold them, until he is finally down to just the two on earth. And, here, he encounters the previously mentioned gathered Marvel forces. All out war ensues. Expect plenty of loud explosions and impressive CGI scenes. This movie is everything that Marvel has to show for itself, and then some. Directed by the Russo brothers, Joe and Anthony, with a screenplay written by Chris-

topher Markus and Stephen McFeely. Besides those already named, this vast cinematic endeavor stars Chris Evans (Captain America), Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Mark Ruffalo (Bruce Banner), Tom Holland (Spider-Man), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Sebastian Stan (White Wolf), Robert Downey, Jr. (Iron Man), Zoe Sal-dana (Gamora), Chris Pratt (Star-Lord), Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther), Vin Diesel (voice of Groot), Bradley Cooper (voice of Rocket), Anthony Mackie (Falcon), Peter Din-klage as a giant dwarf, and literally hundreds, if not thousands of others, if you count CGI. It’s impressive movie-making. But, it’s a very, very complicated story and it takes rapt at-

tention to follow it through to its intense finish that will likely leave the audience shaking its collective head. It's anything but a stand-alone movie.As with every previous Marvel movie, DO NOT leave your seat as the credits are roll-

ing. There’s always a Stinger (additional scenes) to entice you to stay tuned for the next installment. And, rest assured that the title of this film is spot-on accurate. Infinity War. Essentially, that means that the War started in this movie, doesn't end here.

It was a weekend of mu-sic and dancing, a reward-ing evening with the Paul Taylor dance company. The techniques were excellent. This coming Saturday,

April 28 at 2:30 p.m., the Michigan Opera Theatre Children’s Chorus will per-form Gilbert and Sullivan's H.M.S. Pinafore. The opera The Summer

King by Daniel Sonenberg will be showing May 12-20. For more information, see MichiganOpera.org. Emanuel Ax in Ann Ar-

bor was exceptional. His Bach playing style was to the point in clarity. The Waldstein sonata was ex-tremely impressive. The Liszt came through with spring delicacy. For once, spring was also occurring outside at the same time. This was the last UMS Clas-sical event this season, but there are a lot of exciting events to look forward to during the 2018-19 season. To begin with, The Phila-delphia Orchestra will be at the Hill Auditorium this coming September 27. For information, see UMS.org. The DSO this weekend is

presenting the following artists: Fabien Gabel, con-

ductor, University of Mich-igan Choral Union chorus, and Nicolas Altstaedt, cel-lo. The program includes French pieces: Le Chas-seur Maudit (The Accursed Huntsman) by Franck will be performed together with the UMS choir, Tout un monde lointain (A whole distant World) by Dutil-leux will be performed with cello soloist Nicolas Altstaedt. In addition, the program includes Debussy nocturnes and Ravel’s La Valse. The rarely heard tone poem by Cesar Franck is based on a German poem. The work by Henri Dutilleux (1916-2013) is for solo cello and orches-tra, written between 1967-1970 and dedicated to Ms-tislav Rostropovich. See DSO.org for more details. This coming Sunday, April

29, at 7 p.m. the Palmer Woods series will present a program with the Eason Trio (pictured). These in-clude Patricia Terry-Ross, harp, Velda Kelly, violin and Nadine DeLeury, cello. These are members of the Michigan Opera Theatre Orchestra. DeLeury and Kelly are also recognized here for their creative se-

ries Chamber Music at the Scarab Club. The Eason Trio's program

will feature a variety of classical music, especially works written during the early 20th Century and be-yond. Tickets: $50, general admission; $60, reserved preferred seats.Ticket holders receive

concert address via email the week of the event. For more information,

call (313) 891-2514 or see concer t ser [email protected] Concert House

in Ann Arbor has several classical music events coming. On Friday, May 4 at 8 p.m., Stephen Shipps, violin, Liz Ames, piano, will be performing.

SHOWINGS

World's Oldest, Largest Art Glass Show in Royal Oak

Glasstopia, the largest and oldest annual studio glass exhibition in the world takes place at the Habatat Galleries in Royak Oak, presenting over 400 works of contemporary art glass by more than 100 artists from 26 different countries. Over 50 artists will be present at this year’s free grand opening, on Saturday, April 28, at 8 p.m. The annual exhibition, which many consider to be the world's centerpiece show

of contemporary art glass, attracts artists and enthusiasts from across the globe, including museum curators and collectors. In conjunction with Glasstopia, Habatat will offer weekend participants a tour

of the recently expanded Contemporary Craft Wing of The Flint Institute of Arts which has just finished an 8,500 sq. foot gallery expansion. It features an exhibi-tion of renowned glass artist Peter Bremers titled Perspective, including a 17 foot sculpture by the artist.

The Flint Institute of Arts will also unveil its massive installation entitled Pas-sage, the one million dollar boat (a 3 meter long boat of solid glass), by famed Swedish glass artist Bertil Vallien. Habatat recently acquired this famed work of art for installation at the FIA. Another highlight of this year’s art glass weekend is a tour of the recently com-

pleted Davidson-Gerson Gallery of Glass featuring the collection of Bruce and Ann Bachmann at The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village in Dearborn. Numbering around 270 pieces, the Bachmann Collection is an encyclopedic his-

tory of the Studio Glass Movement. Every significant artist is represented by at least one work, many by several examples. The Henry Ford Glass Hot Shop will also present a demonstration by a Habatat artist during the visit.Glasstopia, the 46th Annual International Glass Invitational's Grand Opening

takes place 8 p.m. to 11 p.m., Saturday, April 28. It's free and open to the public. The Exhibition continues, free and open to the public, Tuesday - Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m. until June 22.For information call (248) 554-0590 or go to habatat.com. Habatat Gallery is
