FROM THE EDITOR Feel the need to party like its 1826?

Then Left Hand Fork up Blacksmith Fork Canyon is definitely the place for you to be if you’re looking for something to do this Memorial Day weekend.

Overseen by OEMM — that’s the Old Ephriam Mountain Man club, not some supersecret government agency — the annual Cache Valley Rendezvous is already underway. And believe it or not, the

weather’s warm and dry.

That has been a rare thing of late, with flooding even forcing one recent rendezvous to be moved to Wellsville Canyon where the spirited modern-day mountain men and women were subsequently pounded by a late-spring blizzard.

So, if you’ve never gone up Blacksmith Fork Canyon to experience a little bit of what Cache Valley — or actually Willow Valley — used to be like in the days of fur trappers and traders, this is definitely the right time. Admission into the camp is just a couple of bucks, and visitors are treated to a large variety of events and demonstrations, from blackpowder rifle shooting to

hatchet throwing, as well as the opportunity to browse through the tents of numerous vendors from throughout the West.

But the passionate people who organize and regularly attend the Cache Valley Rendezvous — an homage to the rendezvous held in this area in 1826 — are the true stars of the show. Real characters like Morning Star, Sly Fox, Skunk Woman, Leprechaun, Many Snakes and Fire Fly all have entertaining stories to share.

Visitors to the rendezvous camp along Left Hand Fork are welcome through Memorial Day afternoon.

‘Hangover’ ends on dark note Final film in trilogy takes a different approach

– Cache movie critic Aaron Peck on “Epic” (Page 6)

Christy Lemire AP Movie Critic

“Daring” isn’t a word you would use very much to describe 2011’s “The Hangover Part II,” the disappointingly lazy, beat-forbeat rehash of the wild and wildly successful original “Hangover” from 2009.

And yet, here we are with “The Hangover Part III,” which runs a different sort of risk by going to darker and more dangerous places than its predecessors, both artistically and emotionally. It dares to alienate the very audience that made “The Hangover” the highestgrossing R-rated comedy of all time because, well, it isn’t exactly a comedy.

Sure, there are some outrageous lines and sight gags, mostly courtesy of Zach Galifianakis and Ken Jeong, who function as central figures this time when, previously, a little bit of them went a long way.

(This was also a potentially alienating decision.) But director and co-writer Todd Phillips signals early and often that he’s much more interested than ever before in exploring matters of real consequence, rather than simply mining them for brash laughs.

Phillips and co-writer Craig Mazin have placed

the unusual challenge on themselves of trying to create something bold and new while simultaneously remaining true to the trilogy and wrapping it all up in a satisfying way. They succeed somewhat; simply trying to be creative marks a huge improvement from part two.

This time, Galifianakis’

insufferable, inappropriate man-child Alan has gone off his meds and is out of control. His family and friends — including fellow “Wolfpack” members Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and Doug (Justin Bartha) — stage an intervention and offer to drive him to a treatment center in Arizona. And so the four venture off on

yet another journey, once again assuming their familiar roles: arrogant English teacher Phil is the de facto leader, Stu is the cautious and neurotic dentist and Doug is the bland and stable voice of reason.

In theory, this should be a pretty innocuous trek through the desert. But this is a “Hangover” movie. So, naturally, they get run off See DARK on Page 12

Pet: Clark From: Four Paws Rescue Why he’s so lovable: Clark is a black lab mix about a year old. He was picked up with his friend Lewis. Because they looked so similar, they got matching names, but we don’t think they are brothers.

Clark loves people, and most other dogs. Since he is so new there is still a lot we don’t know about him.

He would probably do better in a home without really little kids, as he is still a big puppy and could accidentally knock them around. He would probably benefit from regular exercise and obedience training.

Clark’s adoption fee is $125 which includes the neuter surgery and vaccinations. To meet Clark, please call and leave a message with Lisa at 752-3534 or send an email to scfourpaws@hotmail.com.

The Reel Place Aaron Peck

From two-bit criminals stealing DVD players out of semi-trucks to international thieves to global counter-terrorism agents — that’s more or less the chronological history of the muscle-bound engine heads from the “Fast and the Furious” franchise.

What began as a movie trying to capitalize on the popularity of illegal street racing in the early 2000s has turned out five sequels, each one more ridiculous than the last.

The latest in this tired franchise, “Fast & Furious 6,” uses up any goodwill created by the laughable but loveable “Fast Five.”

Trying to count the number of unbelievable plot points in this movie is like trying to keep track of the number of rocket-booster sound effects that accompany each and every accelerating engine. Perhaps there’s an uncontrolled bravado, in regards to the writing (or lack thereof), that should be commended. At no point does “Fast Five” scribe Chris Morgan’s screenplay ever resemble coherency.

It’s a game of fill in the blanks: action scene here, fast cars here, scantily clad women here, menacing macho face-off here.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

Director Justin Lin, who has been in charge of this franchise ever

never-ending school of attention-deficit cinema, Lin performs a Michael Bay copycat directing job. He swings the camera in circles as characters talk casually to each other. He shakes the camera incessantly during hand-to-hand combat scenes rendering the image a blur. The only thing guiding you is the enhanced sounds of flying fists and feet finding their marks.

The hallmark of the franchise — the car chases and races — are nothing more than a mosaic of scattered images that offer up nothing in the way of meaningful information which would allow the audience to understand what is happening. Lin’s action sequences are a whole lotta nonsense piled on heaps of mayhem.

To make matters worse, female action star Gina Carano is in the cast and is criminally underused. I found myself wondering if Lin had ever watched “Haywire.” Then I realized, if he had, maybe he would’ve been able to make a smarter action movie.

‘Furious’ franchise takes a wrong turn

A

s Ryan Thorell handcrafts custom guitars at his home-based shop in Hyrum, he is also building an international brand.

Clients from all over the world, including Switzerland, Italy, Australia, China and Costa Rica, have gone to Thorell for high-quality guitars, tailored to fit their individual needs.

“My particular building style is ... being able to be very flexible,” Thorell says.

Thorell, 34, mostly makes acoustic guitars, though he also knows how to assemble electric ones. Arch tops, flat tops, nylon — they are all part of Thorell’s repertoire.

Originally from the Salt Lake area, Thorell has lived in Cache Valley

“I got a scholarship to a couple schools in Boston that I wanted to go to for music, and I went back and applied,” Thorell says. “With the scholarship, the tuition would have still been like $30,000 or whatever. And so I got really disillusioned with the idea of going to school for music. I did a little bit at the U, and shortly after that, I moved up here ... to live with my grandfather.

Books Hosseini’s latest book is another tear-jerker

By Nahal Toosi Associated Press

My main goal in reading Khaled Hosseini’s new book, “And the Mountains Echoed,” was to avoid crying. I failed within the first 20 pages. And by the last page, I was bawling.

So, yes, much like Hosseini’s earlier works, “The Kite Runner” and “A Thousand Splendid Suns,” his latest book is bathed in sadness and despair,

Epic Continued from Page 6 in common with Hopper from “A Bug’s Life.” He’s a sour personality who delights in causing pain and sneering at his enemies.

Now that they’ve got all the necessary characters covered, a couple of comedic-relief characters are thrown in for good measure. Enter two unfunny slugs voiced by Aziz Ansari and Chris O’Dowd.

The entire cast reads of a who’s who of popular actors, which is ironic because kids don’t really care who is doing the voices.

Each and every turn of the plot or progression of the story is telegraphed a mile away.

“Epic” never lives up to its namesake. It’s terribly mediocre in every sense. MK’s journey doesn’t contain anything worthy of note.

Echoed” is powerful and haunting. And much like the country it describes, it is not easy to forget.

Hosseini, whose previous books have sold tens of millions of copies, approached his latest novel in a stylistically different manner than “The Kite Runner” and “A Thousand Splendid Suns.”

The result is akin to a collection of short stories from pre-2001 and post2001 Afghanistan. Each with the requisite occasional ray of hope. Much chapter focuses primarily like those other two books, on one character, but all are somehow linked, even “And the Mountains She simply goes through the steps any young heroine must do in a movie where she’s asked to overcome a seemingly insurmountable obstacle.

Whether it be the clichéd characters or the recognizable story tropes, “Epic” is reminiscent of the glut of unmemorable CGI movies (think “Bee Movie,” “The Ant Bully” or “Robots,” among

others) that hit screens after “Toy Story” made the medium so popular. “Epic” hopes that its nice-looking visuals along with its starstudded voice cast are going to fool people. It’s a good thing that their target audience is mostly young and usually not worried about clever humor, unique storytelling or interesting character development.

if tenuously, by the book’s central tragedy: a young boy’s loss of his beloved sister, who is given up to a far wealthier family.

That loss is conveyed so subtly — even with what in retrospect turns out to be a huge clue — that it is bewildering and devastating once fully understood.

Because of its sprawling nature — it spans decades and hops beyond Afghanistan to France, America and other places, including an imaginary

Thorell Continued from Page 8 Chris Gochnour, a nationally known furniture maker in Murray.

In 2003, Thorell began building guitars professionally in Logan, while also doing some other odds and ends: repairing guitars, building fireplace mantels and working at a cabinet shop. Three years later, he took some of his guitars to the Park City Arts Festival and won a “Best in Show” award.

“It validated ... that it was a worthy endeavor,” he says.

Gradually, bigger names in the guitar business began expressing interest in Thorell’s guitars, and, in 2007, he built one for world-renowned jazz gui-

tarist Frank Vignola.

Over the past 10 years, Thorell has perfected the guitar-making process, from building the body of the guitar, to the neck, rims, fretboard and bridge.

Thorell has built about 115 guitars in the past decade. On average, it takes about four months for any single guitar to pass through the process at his shop, but he doesn’t make just one at a time.

“Like if you look at the necks, there’s eight necks right there that I’m cutting and getting ready,” he says. “So with some of the things, it’s more efficient to do a bunch at once.”

Next month, Thorell will move his shop from his home in Hyrum to 43 S. 100 West in Logan, where he’ll have more space and will again offer guitar repairs, along

with some woodworking classes.

He plans to continue to use his guitar-making skills well into the future.

“With my personality and just the makeup of my mind, I’m constantly

designing and thinking about different ways of doing things,” Thorell says. “It’s an outlet for me to focus that creative energy in a way that really fits with me. ... I don’t know what else I would do.”

Dark Continued from Page 3 the road by masked thugs who work for crime boss Marshall (John Goodman, who improves everything merely by showing up). Turns out, some of their actions in Las Vegas four years ago have tied them to the evil, effeminate gangster Leslie Chow (Jeong) and put them in trouble with some powerful, volatile people. (Chow, we see in the prologue, has escaped a Bangkok prison, sparking an epic riot captured in dramatic, visceral detail by Phillips’ frequent cinematographer Lawrence Sher.)

Now, they must make things right by finding Chow. And of course, there’s a deadline, with Doug serving as collateral. Their assignment takes them to Tijuana and the rolling hills of northern Mexico until, inevitably, they must end up back in Vegas.

In keeping with the

tone of part three, this depiction of the city isn’t sparkly and full of promise, but rather seedy and foreboding.

Las Vegas does, however, serve as the location for some rare moments of heartfelt emotion. One comes courtesy of Melissa McCarthy, in typical scene-stealing fashion, as the pawn-shop clerk who turns out to be Alan’s trashy, mulleted soul mate.

The guys also revisit Stu’s first wife, ex-stripper Jade (Heather Graham), and find that she’s living a happy suburban life with her son, who’s now 4. The child actor who plays him, Grant Holmquist, was one of several infants used in the original “Hangover” as Baby Carlos and is the one featured prominently in that film’s posters. It’s a nice touch.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Chow is more than just a silly, bisexual cokehead this time around. He’s clearly a sociopath, and the group’s association with him is more than just a nuisance. Jeong gets a bit more room to explore the

role and finds a bit more shading, but if you hate this character, you might just hate this entire movie, as well.

Similarly, Galifianakis gets way more screen time here; he’s essentially the star of “The Hangover Part III,” with Cooper and Helms fading into reliable supporting roles. (Bartha once again misses out on the adventures.) The character of Alan is still odd and off-putting, unorthodox and unpredictable.

But his loneliness and neediness shine through, which makes one of the more out-there figures in the “Hangover” universe unexpectedly relatable.

Your expectations — and keeping them in check — are a crucial factor here. This isn’t a party: This finally, truly is the hangover. And it’s also the recovery.

——— “The Hangover Part III” is rated R for pervasive language including sexual references, some violence and drug content, and brief graphic nudity. Running time: 100 minutes. Three stars out of four.

‘Star Trek’ tops box office LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Star Trek: Into Darkness” has warped its way to a $70.6 million domestic launch from Friday to Sunday, though it’s not setting any light-speed records with a debut that’s lower than the studio’s expectations.

The latest voyage of the starship Enterprise fell short of its predecessor, 2009’s “Star Trek,” which opened with $75.2 million.

Since premiering Wednesday in hugescreen IMAX theaters and expanding Thursday to general cinemas, “Into Darkness” has pulled in $84.1 million, well below distributor Paramount’s initial forecast of $100 million. The film added $40 million overseas, pushing its total to $80.5 million since it began rolling out internationally a week earlier.

The “Star Trek” sequel bumped “Iron Man 3” down to second place after two weekends on top. Robert Downey Jr.’s superhero saga took in $35.2 million domestically to lift its receipts to $337.1 million. Overseas, “Iron Man 3” added

$40.2 million, raising its international total to $736.2 million and its worldwide tally to nearly $1.1 billion.

While “Iron Man 3” and “Into Darkness” did well overseas, they were outmatched by the debut of Baz Luhrmann’s “The Great Gatsby,” which followed its domestic debut a week earlier with a wide rollout internationally. “Gatsby” pulled in $42.1 million overseas, coming in a bit ahead of both “Iron Man 3” and “Into Darkness.”

Domestically, “Gatsby” held up well at No. 3 with $23.4 million, lifting its total to $90.2 million.

In today’s Hollywood of bigger, better sequels, follow-up films often outdo the box office of their predecessors, as each “Iron Man” sequel has done. While “Into Darkness” earned good reviews and is getting strong word-of-mouth from fans, the film did not quite measure up to the opening weekend of director J.J. Abrams’ “Star Trek” reboot from four years ago, at least domestically.
