Pictured are scenes from previous Circus Flora performances.

For The Edge Summer vacation is almost here and that means another jaw-dropping array of internationally acclaimed entertainers await under Circus Flora’s red and white Big Top in Grand Center! Their newest production, Time Flies, will transport circus-goers through time June 1-25. Patrons will witness astonishing feats as graceful aerialists and powerful acrobats tell a love story that transcends time. Passports for this adventure are available now at Metrotix.com.

“Time travel is such a rich concept to imagine,” explains Circus Flora Artistic Director Jack Marsh. “Who hasn’t enjoyed wondering what it would be like to re-live past events, or change the past to affect the present? For 31 years our artists have been exploring the limits of the three dimensions.

You’ll never believe what they’ll do to the fourth!”

For over 30 years Circus Flora has provided St. Louis with exciting and

affordable entertainment, making it the best circus in America and the best show in town. The drama and beauty of their unique blend of circus and theater in an intimate space is heightened by their live band playing an originally composed score. Their performances are animalfriendly, including only acts that feature domesticated animals, such as dogs and horses.

As always, Circus Flora has assembled a variety of world-class acts to help tell a love story caught between the past and the present. Artists include: • The premiere of a never-before-seen tango between human and horse; • A gravity defying aerial straps routine; • A unique fusion of juggling, movement and theatre that puts a modern twist on a classic act; • High wire daredevils in a death-defying routine high above the ring; • The world debut of acrobatics on the Chinese pole;

• The rare form of Risley Acrobatics (“human foot juggling”); • Graceful and thrilling aerial hoop and flying trapeze performances; • Talented youth acrobats from St. Louis; • Physical comedy.

A full list of the spectacular array of entertainment can be found on their Facebook page.

"From our beginnings at Spoleto in 1986, through our years in Faust Park, Queeny Park, and Forest Park and, for the past 16 years in Grand Center, we have been honored to be a truly unique element in the cultural fabric of St. Louis", says Executive Director, Larry Mabrey. "We can't wait to show St. Louis what we have in store this year and to announce some exciting new plans for the future of Circus Flora."

Circus Flora's new production Time Flies takes place under the air-conditioned redand-white Big Top tent in Grand Center next to Powell Symphony Hall (corner of Grand Boulevard and Samuel Shepard Drive.) Performances run June 1-25 with

May 25, 2017

A separate peanut-free preview (June 1st) and a sensory-friendly performance (June 22nd) will be offered for patrons with special needs.

For The Edge

An artist's rendering of SPECTROPLEXUS, which will be built in Lambert International Airport's Terminal 2.

Sculpture to take flight at Lambert

For The Edge St. Louis Lambert International Airport is collaborating with graduate students at Washington University in St. Louis to create a 100 ft.-long public sculpture that will soon take flight in Terminal 2.

Over the last four months, eight students in the Graduate School of Architecture & Urban Design, part of the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts, have digitally designed, modeled and constructed prototypes for a suspended sculpture that will feature colorful translucent polycarbonate sheets within a thin, wire-like lattice of hardened carbon fiber. It will be hang over the Terminal 2 Ticketing Lobby with installation set for the week of May 21.

“The students have researched, monitored and evaluated every factor of the terminal space to guide and inspire their design, construction and materials,” says Jeff Lea, Coordinator for the Lambert Art & Culture Program, which is commissioning the sculpture. “The design speaks to our region and it evokes themes of airports, people and flight.

We look forward to see thousands of passengers looking up, purposefully, toward the ceiling to get a glimpse of this new work of art.”

SPECTROPLEXUS will be built from approximately 2,000 subassemblies based on a rhombic grid formed with wrapped spools of carbon fiber. They’ll be joined together to form a single flowing, wavelike structure. Students even designed the collapsible molds that will be used for wrapping the carbon fiber structure. Polycarbonate panels will be cut using a 2D knife plotter in the Sam Fox School’s Digital Fabrication Lab. “Part of the premise of the studio is to develop processes that produce complex results through the clever management of more manual technologies,” says Jason Butz, a lecturer in the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts, who teaches digital fabrication with fellow lecturer Lavender Tessmer.

“Each part must be calibrated not only against the digital model and the tools used to produce them, but against each other.”

“The concept is based on the hybrid nature of flying machines,” Tessmer explains. “The wing of an airplane is a mechanized form, but it’s also a shape — like the wing of a bird — that we understand from the natural world. Carbon fiber is strong, rigid and lightweight, but it also behaves a little unpredictably. There’s variability in the geometry.

Polycarbonate is more predictable — it cuts the same every time — but the colored inks we’re using dry very quickly,

which gives the panels a lot of texture.”

Over the next three weeks, students will work to fabricate the sub-assemblies, at the rate of about 100-150 per day. The Airport is working with the student team on the final details of installation which will likely be scheduled during overnight hours to reduce the impact on passengers and operations.

The sculpture will hang for up to 18 months. More than seven million passengers travel through Terminal 2 every year.

The art project is part of the Airport’s temporary exhibitions program which is financially supported by the St. Louis Regional Arts Commission.

The partnership with Washington University on this unique art project was endorsed by STL’s Airport Art Advisory Committee: The current committee is represented by Lisa Cakmak, Associate Curator of Ancient Art at Saint Louis Art Museum; Ellen Gale, Executive Director of Clayton Chamber of Commerce; Shelly Hagen, Curator of Corporate Art Resources at Wells Fargo; Leslie Markle, Curator for Public Art at Washington University; Kiku Obata, President & CEO for Kiku Obata & Company; Roseann Weiss, Director of Community and Public Arts at the Regional Arts Commission of St. Louis; and Carlos Zamora, Creative Director at Express Scripts.

The Saint Louis Science Center is proud to announce that it is one of four science museums nationwide to host “Destination Moon: The Apollo 11 Mission,” a traveling exhibition from the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. The exhibition will feature the Apollo 11 command module Columbia, marking the first time in 46 years the module has left the museum, as well as 20 artifacts from the historic mission. After the exhibition tour, the artifacts will return to the Smithsonian for a new exhibition, also titled “Destination Moon,” which will open in 2020.

“Destination Moon” will be at the Saint Louis Science Center from April 14 to Sept. 3, 2018. The 49th anniversary of the moon landing is July 20, 2018.

“St. Louis played a vital role in the Space Race, with McDonnellDouglas serving as a key leader in the development of the Mercury and Apollo mission technology,” said Bert Vescolani, president and CEO. “We are honored to have the opportunity to host this exhibition, which represents an iconic period in our country’s history. We are the only museum in the Midwest to host this exhibition, which is so special for the city of St. Louis. We feel very honored because we know that for many people this will be a once- in-alifetime chance to see these artifacts.”

In addition to the Apollo 11 command module Columbia, the only portion of the historic spacecraft to complete the first mission to land a man on the moon and safely return him to Earth, the exhibition will feature: • Star Chart: The chart shows the positions of the sun, moon and stars at the time Apollo 11 was scheduled to leave Earth’s orbit and head for the moon.

• Rucksack #1, Survival Kit: One of two rucksacks filled with equipment to help the crew survive for up to 48 hours in the event of an emergency landing somewhere on Earth. The kit includes three water containers, a radio beacon and spare battery, three pairs of sunglasses, six packages of desalting chemicals, a seawater desalter kit, two survival lights, a machete and two bottles of sunscreen.

• Aldrin’s Extravehicular Visor: Buzz Aldrin wore this outer helmet while on the surface of the moon.

It fit over his clear pressure-bubble helmet.

• Aldrin’s Extravehicular Gloves: These gloves have an outer, cutresistant shell of Chromel-R fabric across the hands to prevent fatal air leaks caused by handling sharp objects and gauntlets to protect against solar heating. The blue fingertips were made of silicone rubber to provide more sensitivity for touching.

Vescolani said, “‘Destination Moon’ will help visitors of all ages to appreciate the accomplishment of the Moon Landing and all of the work that went into making it happen.

We hope the exhibition inspires our guests to think about what is next in space discovery. Perhaps one of them will play a role in exploring Mars and beyond.”

Saint Louis Science Center The mission of the Saint Louis Science Center is to ignite and sustain lifelong science and technology learning. Named a Smithsonian Institution Affiliate in 2016, the Saint Louis Science Center features more than 700 interactive

exhibits, as well as a five-story OMNIMAX Theater, Boeing Hall and the James S. McDonnell Planetarium.

Religion Martin Luther's contribution to literacy remembered

By RICHARD GUNDERMAN Indiana University (THE CONVERSATION) This year marks the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther’s famous 95 Theses, which helped spark the founding of the Reformation and the division of Christianity into Protestantism and Catholicism.

The 95 Theses critiqued the church’s sale of indulgences, which Luther regarded as a form of corruption. By Luther’s time, indulgences had evolved into payments that were said to reduce punishment for sins. Luther believed that such practices only interfered with genuine repentance and discouraged people from giving to the poor. One of Luther’s most important theological contributions was the “priesthood

of all believers,” which implied that clerics possessed no more dignity than ordinary people.

Less known is the crucial role Luther played in making the case for ordinary people to read often and well. Unlike the papacy and its defenders, who were producing their writings in Latin, Luther reached out to Germans in their mother tongue, substantially enhancing the accessibility of his written ideas.

In my teaching of philanthropy, Luther’s promotion of literacy is one of the historic events I often discuss with my students.

Born in Germany in 1483, Luther followed the wishes of his father to study law. Once, while caught in a terrible thunderstorm, he vowed that if he were saved, he would become a monk.

Indeed, Luther later joined the austere

Augustinian order, and became both a priest and a doctor of theology. Later he developed objections to many church practices. He protested the promotion of indulgences, the buying and selling of clerical privileges, and the accumulation of substantial wealth by the church while peasants barely survived. Legend has it that on Oct. 31, 1517, Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the church in Wittenberg, the town where he was based.

He was branded an outlaw for refusing to recant his teachings. In 1521, Pope Leo X excommunicated Luther from the Roman Church. His patron, Frederick of Saxony, saved Luther from further reprisal and had him taken in secret to a castle, where he remained for two years.

It was during that time that Luther produced an immensely influential translation of the New Testament into German.

Impact of Luther’s writing Gutenberg’s earlier introduction of the printing press in 1439 made possible the rapid dissemination of Luther’s works throughout much of Europe, and their impact was staggering.

Luther’s collected works run to 55 volumes.

It is estimated that between 1520 and 1526, some 1,700 editions of Luther’s works were printed. Of the six to seven million pamphlets printed during this time, more than a quarter were Luther’s works, many of which played a vital role in propelling the reformation forward.

Making the choice to buy and/or sell a home is one that can’t be taken lightly. If you answer yes to the following, then it’s time we have a conversation...

Tara Riggs 580-7470

• Are you paying taxes, utilities and payments on that large home you no longer need? It’s probably time to take advantage of today’s market and “rightsize.”

• Are you exhausted from paying rent and someone else’s mortgage? Are you aware of the dozens of grants and financing programs available to first-time buyers?

Free government money might be waiting...

• Is the family growing and you’re busting at the seams of your current home? Then it might be time before interest rates rise any further!

Make a call today for a no-obligation, no-pressure consultation with one of our caring professionals...

The Arts CAM to host Urban Planning: Art and the City 1967-2017 For The Edge The Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis is presenting Urban Planning: Art and the City 1967– 2017 now through Aug. 13.

Urban Planning: Art and the City 1967–2017 presents twentyfour renowned artists responding to the social, political, economic, and environmental effects of urban development in the United States. Urban Planning explores momentous social upheavals—the Civil Rights movement, gentrification, postindustrialization, white flight, the emptying of American cities, and the expansion of the suburbs— t h ro u g h a v a r i e t y o f m e d i a , including sculpture, drawing, photography, moving image, and installation. Rather than pose a definitive historical trajectory, the exhibition embraces a ruminative a n d i n t ro s p e c t i v e a p p ro a c h , winding through time and place to touch on situations and themes ranging from the sociopolitical to the deeply personal, all through the lens of artistic observation.

As seen throughout much of the exhibition, artists use photography as a tool to document a rapidly changing nation. Ed Ruscha’s blackand-white aerial photographs of Los Angeles parking lots (1967) as well as images from Catherine Opie’s Freeway series (1994), coolly reflect the unrestricted violence imposed on the natural landscape through the rise of American automobile culture. In contrast, S a r a Va n D e r B e e k a n d E d g a r Arcenaux both transform images of Detroit—the American symbol f o r u r b a n d e c l i n e — re c a s t i n g them in large-scale compositions (in photography and drawing, respectively) that unburden the city of its pariah status and offer fresh,

even fantastical perspectives of its evolving social fabric.

Sculpture brings the themes of the exhibition into threedimensional form. Many of these h a rd - e d g e d c r i t i q u e s e x h i b i t material playfulness, as with Josiah McElheny’s colored-glass revision of cold, modernist architecture, and Michael Rakowitz’s reimagining of the infamous Pruitt-Igoe housing project as a giant inflatable, interactive toy. Oscar Tuazon’s structure, created specifically for the

exhibition, provides a temporary dwelling within the galleries, offering viewers a space for both contemplation and encounter.

Urban Planning further unravels its various narrative threads through several moving image works. The implosion of Glasgow public housing is seen and heard in Cyprien Gaillard’s video Pruitt Igoe Falls (2009), whereas Kevin Jerome Everson’s film Emergency Needs (2007) reenacts a press conference held by Cleveland’s first

African American mayor following the breakout of riots in 1968. The Republic (2014), by David Hartt, seamlessly weaves together images of urban life in Detroit and Athens, Greece, to explore their connection in the true story of Constantinos Doxiadis, who designed unrealized master plans for both cities.

Many of the works in the exhibition provide commentary on where and how people live in the United States. Among the earliest are Dan Graham’s photographic typology of suburban dwellings in his 1971 lithograph Homes for America and several photographs

by Robert Adams that consider the psychological implications of Colorado sprawl in the 1960s and 70s. Glenn Ligon’s wall-based silkscreen Housing in New York (2007) exposes gentrification as an assault on African-American neighborhoods, and Mark Bradford creates ghostly etchings, a palimpsest of merchant posters sourced around Los Angeles that refract the area’s crucial informal economies.

St. Louis provides a through line for Urban Planning. The birthplace of the national highway system, the home of the Gateway Arch, a city that continues to experience its own social and environmental disruption, racial violence, and economic strife—St. Louis connects with analogous urban centers across the country. Using gathered detritus from around the city, Abigail DeVille creates a monumental, new site-specific installation for the

Museum. Her act of scavenging, recycling, and transformation serves as a distinctive metaphor for the exhibition as a whole—a creative act of will and imagination; a restorative, hopeful force.

Urban Planning is meditation and dreamscape, analysis and argument, a space for outrage and contemplation. The multiplicity of artistic visions give simultaneously distressing and enlivening views of the past, present, and future of America’s cities.

Urban Planning: Art and the City features work by artists Robert Adams, Edgar Arcenaux, Mark Bradford, Juan William Chavez, Agnes Denes, Kevin Jerome Everson, Cyprien Gaillard, Theaster Gates, Dan Graham, David Hartt, Zoe Leonard, Glenn Ligon, Josiah McElheny, Catherine Opie, Robert Overby, Michael Rakowitz, Martha Rosler, Ed Ruscha, Gary Simmons, Robert Smithson, Maya Stovall, Oscar Tuazon, and Sara VanDerBeek.

Urban Planning: Art and the City 1967–2017 is organized for the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis by Kelly Shindler. The Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis is located at 3750 Washington Boulevard.

Hours are Wednesday through Sunday, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm; Open until 8:00 pm Thursday and Friday.

The Arts Artistic adventures MoBOT to present Garden of Glass The Missouri Botanical Garden will play host to floral glass artist Craig Mitchell Smith this summer during its Garden of Glass event, May 25 to Aug. 12. Smith’s pieces have previously been on exhibit at Walt Disney World’s Epcot Center, Michigan State University and various botanical gardens. His work has been featured on HGTV. Smith is known for his custom kiln-fired technique and style. He uses fusing, texturing, slumping and cold-working to create his pieces.

Next summer’s exhibit will feature 30 displays, all commissioned specifically for the Missouri Botanical Garden. It will be the world’s largest kiln-fired glass exhibit to date.

“We continue to look for exhibits that will delight our visitors,” said Dr. Peter Wyse Jackson, president of the Missouri Botanical Garden.

“Craig’s passions for gardening and floral glass make this a perfect fit for the Garden.”

The majority of the exhibit will be housed in the Garden’s Climatron® with preview pieces on other parts of the grounds and one display at the Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House. Evening events will be held on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings June 1 to August 12 so that guests can see the exhibit with custom lighting. Evening events will feature food and beverage sales and live entertainment. The pieces are best seen at night, but will be on display during regular daytime hours at a reduced charge. Tickets for evening events will be available in early January 2017.

Smith’s pieces will be available for sale following the close of the show.

Additional studio pieces will be available for sale in the shop located in Ridgway Visitors Center.

The Missouri Botanical Garden is located at 4344 Shaw Blvd. in south St. Louis, accessible from Interstate 44 at the Vandeventer exit and from Interstate 64 at the Kingshighway North and South exit. Free parking is available on site and two blocks west at the corner of Shaw and Vandeventer.

Artists and donors were quick to embrace Tompkins’ vision to use

We won’t lose to anybody on price!!

St.ART Street Art Festival planned St. Louis resident and wellness visionary Michael G. Tompkins is pleased to introduce on Valentine’s Day the inaugural St.ART Street Art Festival in St. Louis, Missouri Sept. 30 and Oct 1. The goal of the 2-day festival is to encourage hope, healing and positive dialogue through art—including large canvas painting, poetry, performance art, and “yarn bombing” trees. During the weekend, a group of inspired local and renowned street artists will convey the emotions of the underprivileged and silenced in the community on large canvases and through spoken word, in the city of St. Louis.

“The divide in St. Louis between those that have and those that have not is undeniable. Not unlike the iconic St. Louis Arch, art has an ability to bridge the divide. Art brings various opinions together in a way where all opinions are valid.

There is no black and white; right or wrong,” says Tompkins. The artists begin the dialogue by conveying the voice and frustration of the people on the first day, then express their vision of our new community on day two. The festival will be interactive with the audience, using yarn bombing on trees for the observers to leave their own personal messages of frustration and hope.

While the first day will be held in Fairgrounds Park, day two will be held at Langenberg Field in Forest Park. Both days are complementary and open to the public from 10am-8pm. Street artists signed on include Basil Kincaid, Cbabi Bayoc, Fnnch, Peat Eyez Wollaeger, Kidlew a n d S t e p h e n “ YA R N b o m b e r ” Duneier. Poets include Pacia

street art to start a dialogue between diverse groups in St. Louis. A recent transplant to St. Louis, Tompkins came up with the idea for St.ART after witnessing amazing street art following the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson.

Day one of St.ART, the canvases will be painted in black and white.

The TRUTH of the hopelessness, the desperation of not feeling heard, and the hardships found in our inner city neighborhoods. Day two the theme is: “Hope has color.” In one of the brightest areas that our city celebrates, those same artists will paint in color, their vision of our new community.

"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2"

In James Gunn's sequel to his swashbuckling space Western, the Guardians of the Galaxy do their version of "The Empire Strikes Back," complete with daddy issues but with a considerably more anarchic spirit and enough acerbic interplay among its interstellar gang to make Obi-Wan blush.

The wild whiz-bang of the first "Guardians" and its gleeful upending of superhero conventions was, I thought, not the second-coming others felt it was. Having sat through a meteor shower of imposingly well-made Marvel products, the toopleased-with-itself "Guardians" felt to me like an intensely scripted politician trying to smugly crack wise.

When the motley crew of scavengers reunites in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2," many of its tricks — the anachronistic '70s hits, the exotically foul-mouthed creatures — are not the sneak attack they were in 2014. But that turns out to be a good thing. No longer so busy advertising his movie's genre transgressions, Gunn, who wrote and directed the sequel, is free to swim backstrokes through his cosmic, CGI-spiced gumbo.

It's a soupy, silly spectacle that recalls, if nothing else, the weird, kaleidoscopic design of a Parliament-Funkadelic album cover. Gunn's film also shares George Clinton's goofy extravagance (and includes his song "Flashlight"), and a neoncolored cast with its own Mothership.

There are two types in the universe, Dave Bautista's muscle-mound Drax declares early on. "Those who dance and those who do not." In the "Guardians" universe, which blithely mocks just about everything, this is close to a mission statement. Whereas the first film featured Chris Pratt's Peter Quill on a faraway planet bopping to Redbone's "Come and Get Your Love," the early scenes of "Vol. 2" find the Guardians battling some giant monster while Baby Groot — the extraterrestrial tree turned sapling (voiced by Vin Diesel) — grooves to ELO's "Mr. Blue Sky." RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "intense sequences of sci-fi violence, and brief suggestive content."

RUNNING TIME: Running time: 136 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

"Unforgettable"

True story: Right after the final line of "Unforgettable" was uttered, I felt a sudden stinging on the side of my face. Someone in a nearby row at the multiplex had thrown a roasted peanut toward the screen, in what I can only assume was frustration or scorn, and it landed on me.

That peanut, I have to say, was the only unforgettable thing about "Unforgettable," a truly uneasy mishmash of a movie, in which apparent attempts at addressing serious social themes — there's a domestic violence subplot — dissolve into total camp.

Which one can't really enjoy, because it doesn't seem intentional.

The shame is that Rosario Dawson gives an earnest, sympathetic, even moving performance as the victimized character. In contrast, none of her castmates — including Katherine Heigl, trying vainly to find meaning in a ridiculously written part — seem authentic. Somebody didn't get the memo, but who?

In plot setup only, "Unforgettable" shares something with the recent wonderful thriller "Get Out" — both involve sympathetic characters of color invited into their romantic partner's lilywhite world, where, let's just say, things do NOT go as planned.

From there, "Get Out" developed into one of the cleverest films in a generation. There's nothing clever about "Unforgettable."

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America "for sexual content, violence, some language, and brief partial nudity."

RUNNING TIME: 100 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: One star out of four.

On the Edge of the Weekend

"Risk"

With all the weighty and momentous issues raised in "Risk," Laura Poitras' fascinating, thorny, and remarkably timely documentary on Julian Assange, one of the more subtly illuminating scenes is about something as inconsequential as a haircut.

The WikiLeaks founder is getting his locks trimmed, and the rapt, loving attention being paid to this process by co-workers in the room — who, like a team of Hollywood stylists, take turns with the scissors and offer suggestions — makes it look like he's about to go accept a lifetime achievement Oscar.

Poitras may have included this scene as a rare light moment — a counterpoint to everything else — but it also gives us a sense of the man and his relationship with those who work for him.

It also shows, as do so many scenes here, the seemingly limitless access Poitras had to her subject, whom she began filming about six years ago. Just as in another recent, also excellent documentary, "Weiner," a moment comes where you just think, "Whoa, how was she allowed to do this?" Indeed, Poitras says the same thing. "Sometimes I can't believe what Julian allows me to film," she says in voiceover. "It's a mystery to me why he trusts me, because I don't think he likes me."

Whether he likes her or not, and whatever the changing nature of their relationship — there's been talk of a falling out, but it's murky — the leeway Assange gave Poitras is what elevates this film to must-see viewing. Yes, Poitras, an Oscar winner for "Citizenfour" about Edward Snowden, seems less aggressive at times than she could be in investigating what makes Assange tick. Lady Gaga, in a bizarre cameo, is freer with her questions. But it's hard to quibble with the result.

"The Dinner"

It's fitting that the first images you see in the riveting family drama "The Dinner" are of food. Fancy food. The kind of artful, designed fare that few mortals could possibly recreate and that bound books, television shows, documentaries and movies fetishize and worship. But this is not food porn.

There's something sinister about these images — the ominous music and the camera movements make these painstakingly designed and exorbitantly expensive dishes seem like all that is evil in the modern world. It's a sense that sticks with you throughout writer-director Oren Moverman's grandly ambitious, if not wholly successful film.

Based on the Dutch novel by Herman Koch, the set-up is small but instantly intriguing. Two married couples are gathering for dinner to discuss something sensitive, something to do with their teenage sons — creating the atmosphere of genuinely suspenseful whodunit. One is a charismatic congressman who's running for governor, Stan Lohman (Richard Gere) and his primly coiffed (and quite young) wife Katelyn (Rebecca Hall). The other is Stan's perpetually aggrieved brother, Paul (Steve Coogan) and his tolerant wife, Claire (Laura Linney).

Paul, a former public school teacher who is obsessed with the Civil War, doesn't want to go to the dinner. He hates the dripping decadence and pretention of the restaurant and does not seem interested in pretending to be anything but disdainful of the operation, even as the eager hosts and perfectly pleasant maître d' (Michael Chernus) proudly explain what's on each dish and why it's so special.

As each course comes out, a new layer is exposed in the complex tapestry of the lives of the two Lohman families — Stan's first wife Barbara (Chloe Sevigny), various health issues, of the mental and physical variety, and the deep-seated damage and corrosiveness of long-unchecked privilege.

"King Arthur: Legend of the Sword"

Deep into Guy Ritchie's "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword," a bad guy who we've never met before informs Arthur (Charlie Hunnam) and his mates that they'd better be at the castle before dark if they want to see "the boy" and "the girl" again. It's one of those harmless, up the stakes clichés that's all too common in action movies, but, in the flawed yet amusing "King Arthur," it unwittingly left me baffled. "Which girl?" I wondered, sincerely doubting that this was the intended effect.

At this point there are two options: The Mage (Astrid Berges-Frisbey), a strange animal-controlling sorceress who we recently saw with a knife at her throat, or Maggie (Annabelle Wallis) who over the course of the movie is so underdeveloped that at different points I'd thought she was Arthur's presumed to be dead mother (who is in fact played by the just similar enough-looking Poppy Delevingne) or the evil King Vortigern's (Jude Law) wife. (She's neither.) It's a strange thing for a movie that is this packed to the brim with dialogue and clever exposition to have managed to so insufficiently explain a supposed key player.

The film is somehow both overwritten and underwritten.

It's a stretch to even deem it a King Arthur movie (marketing calls it an "iconoclastic take on the classic Excalibur myth," while a producer says it's "not your father's King Arthur.")

And yet, "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword," is reasonably entertaining with its CGI-laden summer nonsense, stuffed with mystical beasts (including giant elephant-like creatures with wrecking ball tails), vulgar action and delicious scenery chewing from Law. It skates by on Ritchie's divisively kinetic filmmaking and the charisma of Hunnam's reluctant hero.

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "sequences of violence and action, some suggestive content and brief strong language.

RUNNING TIME: 126 minutes.

"Alien: Covenant"

Ah, the siren song of John Denver. Who among us can resist it? Certainly, not the crew of the Covenant, a vessel powered by a golden sail cruising through space with 2,000 "colonists" in hyper sleep and years to go until they reach their destination.

But when a shock wave from a solar flare jostles the crew awake, they soon begin hearing a faint transmission of "Take Me Home, Country Roads" emanating from a curiously Earthlike planet. Such sonic waves would be expected if this was "Guardians of the Galaxy," but this is the "Alien" universe — no place for sunny '70s singer-songwriters. When the antsy crew deviates from their carefully planned mission to seek the transmission's source, we know it's only a matter of time until cosmic crustaceans begin bursting forth from bodies. Take me home? You betcha.

"Alien: Covenant" is, itself, a homecoming of sorts for a welltraveled franchise. Since Ridley Scott's 1979 original — still the ultimate deep-space horror — "Alien" has passed through numerous directors (James Cameron, David Fincher, Jean-Pierre Jeunet) and a prequel reboot, Scott's "Prometheus." That film, more bloodless and brainy, sought to answer questions of origin with some pretty audacious backstory and — there's just no easy way to say this — eyebrow-less colossuses who created the universe.

In Scott's "Alien: Covenant," taking place ten years after "Prometheus," the so-called Engineers are, thankfully, nowhere to be seen. Back instead are everyone's favorite extraterrestrials, those acid-dripping drama queens so fond of making a big entrance.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "scifi violence, bloody images, language and some sexuality/nudity."

"King Arthur" a mixed bag

By LINDSEY BAHR Associated Press Deep into Guy Ritchie's "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword ," a bad guy who we've never met before informs Arthur (Charlie Hunnam) and his mates that they'd better be at the castle before dark if they want to see "the boy" and "the girl" again. It's one of those harmless, up the stakes clichés that's all too common in action movies, but, in the flawed yet amusing "King Arthur," it unwittingly left me baffled. "Which girl?" I wondered, sincerely doubting that this was the intended effect.

saw with a knife at her throat, or Maggie (Annabelle Wallis) who over the course of the movie is so underdeveloped that at different points I'd thought she was Arthur's presumed to be dead mother (who is in fact played by the just similar enough-looking Poppy Delevingne) or the evil King Vortigern's (Jude Law) wife. (She's neither.) It's a strange thing for a movie that is this packed to the brim with dialogue and clever exposition to have managed to so insufficiently explain a supposed key player.

The film is somehow both overwritten and underwritten.

It's a stretch to even deem it a King Arthur movie (marketing calls it an "iconoclastic take on the classic Excalibur myth," while a producer says it's "not your father's King

Arthur.")

And yet, "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword," is reasonably entertaining with its CGI-laden summer nonsense, stuffed with mystical beasts (including giant elephant-like creatures with wrecking ball tails), vulgar action and delicious scenery chewing from Law. It skates by on Ritchie's divisively kinetic filmmaking and the charisma of Hunnam's reluctant hero.

This Arthur was raised in a brothel after seeing his mother and father, King Uther (Eric Bana) killed in a coup. A speed-induced montage later and Arthur is a fully grown and martial arts trained man who is a streetwise protector of the brothel's prostitutes.

His Uncle Vortigern, who sold his soul to get the crown, rules Camelot. But Vortigern can't

access his full powers without the Excalibur sword, which, as you know, is stuck in a rock. This leads Vortigern's soldiers to round up every man of Arthur's age to find the remaining heir.

Hunnam's Arthur is a wise-cracking, sensitive brute, who neither seeks nor wants power of any kind.

What he does want is never really explored beyond the fact that he cares about his friends and feels some sort of obligation to protect the weak. But he eventually gets on board with his birthright — partly to avenge his father's death and partly because a group of outlaws, including The Mage, Bedivere (Djimon Hounsou) and Bill (Aidan Gillen), sort of make him do it. An Arthur for the millennial generation perhaps?

"Snatched" an exercise in boredom

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH For The Edge As badly as the comedy film genre has fared in the past, say, fifteen years, I have to admit that most of the bashing has come from me. I can defend my viewpoint because all good writers – at least those who think critically upon the subjects about which they write – can. Comedy lately is best enjoyed through the lens of its combination into other genres.

Action-comedy is best in a film like last week’s megahit, “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2”. Buddy comedies are still a delight. I bring them up because “Smokey & the Bandit” returns to theatres next week for a celebration of its fortieth anniversary of release. But this week we revisit the always popular question: are women

funny? First of all, that’s a ridiculous question. Yes, women can be funny. Just like men can be sexy. And kids can be articulate.

And cats can have personalities.

When we assign attributes to a group, we make some broad leaps that only begin to hurt when we narrow down our thinking to stereotypes. So if you don’t think women can be funny, stop reading this now. And maybe start watching Kate McKinnon kill it on “SNL” each week.

The newest comedy out there, “Snatched”, is from the current queen of the stand-up world, Amy Schumer. It’s a basic and simple plot, tied up neatly in a 90-minute package, and I can see on paper where it could be funny. The lovably blue Emily Middleton (Schumer, playing roughly herself) is a hot mess that gets dumped

by her up-and-coming rock star boyfriend just before she thinks he’s about to make a greater commitment to her. There’s an irony there that could be mined for laughs, but better breakups have been done on-screen before (“Forgetting Sarah Marshall”, “The Social Network”, just to name a pair.). So, in a funk, she accidentally invites her mother, Linda (Goldie Hawn), to accompany on her nonrefundable exotic vacation to Ecuador. It’s a treat to see Hawn back to work since her last movie was almost fifteen years ago, 2002’s “The Banger Sisters” with Susan Sarandon. Linda’s an uptight cat lady who really checked out when her husband dumped her years before. She’s the “straight man” to Schumer ’s out of control depression spiral. These two are

a complementary match made in movie heaven. Or are they?

What I find unappealing about the movie is just how boring it is. Almost every good laugh in this film is spoiled by the trailer for it. As soon as Linda a n d E m i l y a r r i v e i n E c u a d o r, t h e y ’ re k i d n a p p e d b y t o u r i s t ransom artists and most of the movie is them trying to escape to safety. They’re supported in their endeavor by over-the-top turns from Wanda Sykes (always game) and Christopher Meloni (who clearly has fun with his lighter roles). There are two real points for me, though, where the movie shines. The first is Ike Barinholtz as Emily’s agoraphobe brother wh o does some great comic relief (in a comedy?!?) by threatening a State Department worker (Bashir Salahuddin) into

May 25, 2017

escalating rescue resources. I enjoy his often buffoonish style of comedy and the character ’s way of addressing his mother as “Ma Ma”, two quick-syllable, man-child notes made me chuckle every time. The other bit was a (literal) gag about Emily developing and having to remove a tapeworm that was so unexpected and out of place in this movie that I thought for a second it might be some kind of dream sequence. It was topnotch gross-out work, but two (essentially) cameo efforts don’t a movie make. Schumer ’s work in 2015’s “Trainwreck” was a ton better.

“Snatched” runs 90 minutes and is rated R for crude sexual content, brief nudity, and language throughout. I give this film one star out of four.

Dining Delights Boost your bones with these summer delights For The Edge

P

arents want children to grow up strong and healthy. And most know that having strong bones is an important part of being healthy. Building bone mass during childhood and teen years also sets the stage for bone health as we get older.

One key to boosting bones at any age is eating calcium-rich foods like milk, cheese, and yogurt.

Dairy foods provide calcium, protein, and vitamin D; all key players in bone health.

“Meeting recommendations for dairy’s nutrients is essential for healthy bones throughout all stages of life,” says Erin Rich, nutrition educator for St. Louis District Dairy Council.

Calcium is a mineral that makes up most of bone tissue, and vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium from foods we eat. “Milk is one of the few food sources of vitamin D. Some cheeses and yogurts are also fortified with Vitamin D,” notes Rich.

From childhood through early adulthood, calcium and vitamin D are used for bone growth. Beyond the mid-twenties, bones are no longer growing but are the body’s main storage site for calcium. Calcium is constantly being removed from this storage site for other uses in the body. As a result, the storage site must be replenished with calcium.

It’s important for people of all ages to meet the calcium and vitamin D recommendations.

One of the easiest (and tastiest!) ways to do this is to include three servings of dairy every day. Milk, yogurt, and cheese are excellent sources of calcium, providing one-third of the recommended daily intake of calcium per serving.

“The role of dairy foods is more crucial than ever as most Americans today are not getting enough calcium in their daily diets, putting them at increased risk for bonecrippling disease,” says Rich.

Getting more calcium in your diet can be as simple as drinking a glass of milk with meals, adding cheese to salads, pasta and casseroles, or preparing soups and hot cereal with milk instead of water.

Blend fruit, yogurt, and milk together for a tasty smoothie or enjoy coffee or hot chocolate made with steamed milk.

Along with diet, exercise is important for maintaining healthy bones throughout life.

Weight-bearing exercise, such as walking, jogging, hiking, tennis or even dancing, produces stress on bones, which helps to stimulate their growth and maintenance. For maximum bone benefit, include a variety of weight-bearing activities in your daily physical activity plan. .For additional information on dairy foods visit, www.stldairycouncil.org, call St. Louis District Dairy Council at 314-8359668, or e-mail erich@stldairycouncil.org.
