competitions will keep the town buzzing over the course of the weekend.

A new activity will be introduced: The Mud & Stuff fun run will mark the start of Sunday’s festivities. Ages 10 and older can participate in the 3-mile race for a wet and dirty good time, but participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

Registration ($35) will begin at 9 a.m. at Silo Park. The run will start at 10 a.m. All proceeds will go to support the nonprofit, weekend-long celebration.

Avid 5K runner Rebekah Luttrell and Cascade Days councilwoman Ember Labounty, who

have run similar races together in the past, came up with the idea.

But Luttrell said getting it off the ground was a community effort.

“There has really been a lot of community support and sponsorship … It’s taken this whole community to put this together, so it’s been a lot of fun,” she said.

Luttrell encourages those who enter the race to bring their friends. “It’s really fun with a group, and just running it for fun together instead of for competition,” she said. n Reporter Kimberly Cauvel: 360416-2199, kcauvel@skagitpublish ing.com, Twitter: @Kimberly_SVH, Facebook.com/byKimberlyCauvel

MOVIES MINI-REVIEWS Compiled from news services.

Ratings are one to four stars.

“A Most Wanted Man” — In his last starring role, Philip Seymour Hoffman is nothing short of brilliant as a worldweary German intelligence operator on the trail of a man who escaped from a Russian prison. Based on a John le Carre novel, this is one of the best spy thrillers in recent years. Spy thriller, R, 121 minutes. HHHH “About Alex” — Some perfectly capable young actors, including Max Greenfield, Aubrey Plaza and Jason Ritter, star in this drama about the reunion of college friends. If you’ve seen “The Big Chill,” you’ve seen this movie, with older grown-ups. Even if you haven’t, you won’t be surprised by much. Comedy drama, R, 98 minutes. HH “And So It Goes” — Nothing unexpected happens in this film, the cinematic equivalent of comfort food, but the pleasure comes from experiencing the semi-frequent smileinducing dialogue, bolstered in no small fashion by the wonderful comedic timing of Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton. This is one of the rare movies trying to connect with the older crowd that still loves to go to the cinema and watch great stars do their thing.

Comedy, PG-13, 94 minutes.

HHH “Begin Again” — Reeling from a breakup with her musical partner and longtime boyfriend, a songwriter in New York City has a chance encounter with a disgraced record label exec that blossoms into something more.

With Keira Knightley, Mark Ruffalo, Hailee Steinfeld and Adam Levine. Written and directed by John Carney. R, 104 minutes. HH “Get On Up” — It’s the powerful, raw, energized performance by Chadwick Boseman that makes this James Brown biopic worth seeing. The sanitizing of the influential artist’s story and the chronological bouncing back and forth are frustrating, but Boseman inhabits the persona of a larger-than-life icon without ever delving into caricature or mere impersonation. Music biopic, PG-13, 138 minutes.

HHH “Guardians of the Galaxy” — Chris Pratt plays the leader of a misfit band of antiheroes, including a cynical

raccoon and a walking tree, in this refreshing confection of entertainment, a mostly lighthearted and self-referential comic-book movie with loads of whiz-bang action, some laugh-out-loud moments and a couple of surprisingly beautiful and touching scenes as well.

Sci-fi action, PG-13, 122 min1 utes. HHH ⁄2 “Into the Storm” — This tornado disaster movie has some pretty nifty effects, but there’s about as much character development as you’d find in the first draft of a “Transformers” screenplay.

A bunch of one-dimensional characters battle the most powerful storm in the history of, well, history, as if they’re in a slightly more sophisticated version of “Sharknado 2.”

Disaster action, PG-13, 89 minutes. HH “Lucy” — Given the track record of writer-director Luc Besson (“The Fifth Element”), I was hoping this story of a woman (Scarlett Johansson) tapped into an ever-growing brain capacity would be a bold and inspired piece.

What I got was a piece of something else altogether. As Lucy’s enhanced powers turn ludicrous, the plot becomes

unintentionally hilarious. Sci-fi 1 action, R, 89 minutes. ⁄2 “Magic in the Moonlight” — The Woody Allen doppelganger in his latest romantic comedy is a thoroughly unlikable stiff who actually manages to become more insufferable with each passing scene.

Played by Colin Firth, he’s an illusionist who succumbs to the charms of a prognosticator (Emma Stone) and progresses from “jerk” to “insanely irritating jerk.” Romantic comedy, PG-13, 98 minutes. HH “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” — The Michael Bay-produced 3-D re-boot spares no expense in special effects and spares no decibel in the volume that is the soundtrack to all their new mayhem. These digitally animated super-sized turtles have real-world presence and weight, stumping onto the scene like teenagers who haven’t learned to do anything quietly. But between those scenes is an awful lot of chatter and exposition.

For a film that aims younger (save for the diehards who grew up with this franchise), that’s deadly dull. Sci-fi action violence, PG-13, 101 minutes.

HH “The Fault in Our Stars” —

With lesser source material, an average director and an OK cast, the adaptation of John Green’s novel about the glory and unfairness of life could have lost me. But everyone involved, from director Josh Boone to transcendent star Shailene Woodley and beyond, has talents way beyond the average. This is a lovely work.

Drama, PG-13, 125 minutes.

HHHH “Wish I Was Here” — Director/co-writer/actor Zach Braff’s “Wish I Was Here” is a precious and condescending exercise in self-indulgent pandering, featuring one of the whiniest lead characters in recent memory. The supporting cast is rich with talented actors: Mandy Patinkin, Kate Hudson, Josh Gad. They just don’t have a fully realized movie to work with. Comedy1 drama, R, 120 minutes. ⁄2 “X-Men: Days of Future Past” — Thanks to first-class special effects, a star-packed cast taking the material seriously and director Bryan Singer’s skilled and sometimes electrifying visuals, this timetravel sci-fi thriller is flat-out, big-time, big summer movie fun. Sci-fi thriller, PG-13, 130 1 minutes. HHH ⁄2

NEW THIS WEEK Some movies are built for mass appeal, others aim smaller, “festival films” they’re called. “FRANK” feels like a “festival film.”

The title character is a singer/songwriter who performs and lives his entire life wearing a gigantic plastic head over his skull. The fact that the great Michael Fassbender is the talking, fuming, rambling and singing man-behindthe-mask makes this wildly improbable film all the more intriguing.

Domhnall Gleeson is Jon, an office drone and aspiring songwriter whose banal observations of life-observed, set to music, aren’t getting him anywhere. And then, as he’s watching this keyboard player go mad and try to drown himself in the Irish Sea, opportunity knocks. Don (Scoot McNairy), the manager of the band (called Soronprfbs), asks Jon to fill in. Their music is madness incarnate — wild trills of guitar, drums, synthesizer and theremin.

Frank, his mask containing a built-in microphone, croons on about “screeching frequencies of pulsing infinity.”

Fassbender, his face hidden in a mask, singing and charming when Frank isn’t off-the-rails despairing and naive even in his sanest moments, is a hidden delight. He makes Frank both a puzzle at the center of the picture and the heart of its humor. Frank has to either get his emotions across with his speaking or singing voice, or give you a hint of what his face is doing inside that mask.

Rating: R (language and some sexual content). 100 minutes. HHH Zach loved Beth — past tense. But his girlfriend put in her earbuds, trekked off up into the hills, and … something happened.

We meet Zach (Dane DeHaan) after her funeral.

He’s in shock. His parents (Cheryl Hines, Paul Reiser) are ready to move on to “LIFE AFTER BETH.” They talk up vacation plans. But even though Beth’s folks (John C. Reilly, Molly Shannon) may be barely maintaining a brave face, they make time to comfort him. Heck, Maury (Reilly) even shares one of Beth’s joints with him as they play chess into the wee hours, fretting over the last words each said to her before that fateful hike.

That doesn’t help. Zach grows more morose and more obsessed. They give him a woolen scarf, which he wears in the summer. “It’s my dead girlfriend’s scarf. She’s DEAD.” This dark comedy has a lot of promise for about half its length. Then, unfortunately, it settles into the mundane genre picture that it seems doomed to be.

Rating: R (pervasive language, some horror violence, sexual content, nudity and brief drug use.) 89 minutes. HH The laughs are loud, lewd and low in “LET’S BE COPS,” a spoof of cop “buddy pictures.”

The last month of summer is typically a dumping ground for titles studios don’t have high hopes for. Sometimes, that’s due to the lack of marketable stars. Sometimes, they’re just too hard to market, period. And sometimes, if they’re comedies, it’s because the belly laughs are few and far between. All of those apply here.

Rating: R (language including sexual references, some graphic nudity, violence and drug use). 104 minutes. H1⁄2 n Roger Moore, McClatchy-Tribune News Service

‘Venus in Fur’

7:30 p.m. Friday-Saturday, Aug. 15-16 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 17 7:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 18 Alone in a Paris theater after a long day of auditioning actresses for his new play, writerdirector Thomas (Mathieu Amalric) complains that no actress he’s seen has what it takes to play the lead female character: a woman who enters into an agreement with her male counterpart to dominate him as her slave. Thomas is about to leave the theater when actress Vanda (Emmanuelle Seigner) bursts in, a whirlwind of erratic — and, it turns out, erotic — energy. Not only is Vanda a perfect fit, but she apparently has researched the role exhaustively, learned her lines by heart and even brought her own props. As the extended “audition” builds momentum, Thomas moves from attraction to obsession until, with Vanda taking an ever more dominant role, the balance of power shifts completely.

“The Voyager,” She yearns openly for a strong man in California altthe album opener and elsewhere; for a pop songwriter man to “take me, make a fool of me all Jenny Lewis’ night.” She dreams about another: “I’d first solo album in six years. “When I look give anything to be the one who kisses at myself all I can see, I’m just another you.” lady without a baby,” the 38-year-old She dubs herself “special forces,” called former Rilo Kiley front woman sings on in “after divorces” due to her kissing abili“Just One of the Guys,” the album’s lead ty, but warns a guy that she’s not the keepsingle about never being able to fit into ing kind.

But out-of-this-world comeback Lewis fans O’Connor here sounds less like a boss and were waiting for. more like a broken woman. n Dan DeLuca, The Philadelphia Inquirer

Sinead O’Connor

Old Crow Medicine

“I’m Not Bossy, I’m the Boss” After a rough few years for Sinead O’Connor, as she dealt with a 16-day marriage and canceled a tour due to mental illness, it’s heartening to see her confident image on the cover of the new disc, “I’m Not Bossy, I’m the Boss.”

She wears a black wig and sexy latex dress, hugging an electric guitar to her chest. The boss, indeed.

O’Connor, 47, seemed like a strong

“Remedy”

“Give me that old-time music, Lord make it hot,” Critter Fuqua pleads on “Doc’s Day.” Old Crow Medicine Show delivers on that request in spades on “Remedy,” but the veteran septet as usual also spikes its string-band attack with some heavy doses of rock-and-roll attitude, whether it’s the rambunctious humor of “Brushy Mountain Conjugal Trailer” or the Dylanesque bite of “Mean Enough World.”

Speaking of the Bard, Dylan contributes to another fine co-write, “Sweet Amarillo.” (The first collaboration with Old Crow’s Ketch Secor, “Wagon Wheel,” became a country and pop hit for Darius Rucker.)

The accordion-laced waltz, along with “Dearly Departed Friend” and “The Warden,” points up how Old Crow is just as compelling when it slows the breakneck pace and softens the edge. n Nick Cristiano, The Philadelphia Inquirer

Shabazz Palaces

“Lese Majesty” For its second full-length album, 18 murky songs funneled into seven oddly titled suites, Seattle’s Shabazz Palaces picks up the “ancient to the future” motto that guided the Art Ensemble of Chicago and blasts further into the jazzy avant-rap stratosphere than on 2011’s “Black Up.” That first album was exquisite, psychedelic art-hop, but the new effort from MC/ singer/ex-Digable Planet Ishmael Butler and soundscaper/multi-instrumentalist Tendai Maraire is something expansive yet weirdly robotic, and deliciously Afrocentric — a hip-hopera, if you will, with the fat lady in full effect.

Talking about his rap past on “Ishmael,” Butler breathily intones the lines “Huey beats and Malcolm flow/Intimacies I doubt you know,” as if proudly reciting Shakespeare through Hendrix’s purple ambient haze.

By the time we get to the creepy blues of “They Came in Gold” and the nervous New Wave of “Solemn Swears,” Butler begins to loosen and “think in terms of I,” doing or dying on the former, making listeners “dance at just a glance” throughout the latter.

Whether navel-gazing on the sociopolitical tip or focusing on the self, ripping sound is first and foremost on Shabazz’s agenda, with a bracingly bizarre score overwhelming all they survey.
