It starts with pouring our wish and mind in the quilt for someone we care, for our own dreams or for serving our society… We sincerely hope you can read our wishes and thoughts, stitched and sewn in these quilts.” — Miwako Kimura.

“Works of Junko Maeda”: Maeda has worked with Japanese natural fiber textiles such as silk, linen and cotton for nearly 45 years.

In the past several years, she has been inspired by handicraft called “Pojagi,” Korean women’s traditional patchwork handed down from mother to daughter.

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 “Are You Here” — With his friend (Owen Wilson) at his side, a neurotic stoner (Zach Galifianakis) learns he’s inherited his dad’s estate, as his sister (Amy Poehler) schemes to gain control. It’s not a falldown-funny comedy; it mostly makes you smile, laugh a little bit, and then shake your head in admiration. Comedy drama, R, 113 minutes. HHH “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 “If I Stay” — After a car accident, high school senior Mia (Chloe Grace Moretz) lives both in a coma and as a spiritual alter ego looking on. The movie plays like a high school version of “Ghost,” only less involving, less romantic and a little creepier. Drama, PG-13, 1 107 minutes. H ⁄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

about their feelings. They hold each other accountable, and hold hands, symbolically, as they enter the field.

Something worked, because this Concord, Calif., school won 151 games in a row at one point.

“When the Game Stands Tall” is about the tests they face when that streak is broken. The melodramatic stuff in this “true story” involves players dedicating games to this dying granddad or that sickly mother, the seniors who have to decide whether to stick together and attend the same college, or find their own way out of Richmond, California. As with most football factories, a rich community’s public school is an irresistible lure to top athletes from poorer communities nearby.

Coach, quietly obsessed with “The Streak,” has a heart attack. No matter how many times he says, “It’s just a high school football game,” we don’t believe him.

Caviezel has become the Tim Tebow of American screen acting. Cloaked in Christianity, he’s been surrounded by success (“The Passion of the Christ”), but you wonder how much of that is a result of his talent.

He rarely has a role that requires him to smile and his lines all have a stern authority about them. He’s “the hoarse whisperer.” That isn’t necessarily a wrong-headed way to play this coach, just a boring one.

Bob Marley musical to make premiere in Baltimore The Associated Press

NEW YORK — A musical about Bob Marley that uses the Jamaican reggae icon’s music is in the works for next year.

Center Stage in Baltimore said Tuesday it would present the world premiere of “Marley,” written and directed by company artistic director Kwame KweiArmah. It will run from May 6 to June 14.

The show focuses on the years 1975 to 1978,

when Marley survived an attempted assassination in Jamaica and went into exile in London. It will feature mid-’70s Marley albums as “Exodus,” ‘’Kaya,” and “Rastaman Vibration,” which include the songs “Jamming,” “Three Little Birds” and “Roots, Rock, Reggae.”

It’s a collaboration between Center Stage and New York’s Public Theater, where Kwei-Armah directed two productions last year.

MUSIC REVIEWS “Look Again to the Wind: Johnny Cash’s Bitter Tears Revisited” Various artists

Throughout his career, Johnny Cash sang about the downtrodden, giving a voice to the voiceless. But his 1964 concept album, “Bitter Tears: Ballads of the American Indian,” started a new conversation about social awareness.

The collection of songs written by Cash and Peter La Farge provided strong commentary about the U.S. government’s mistreatment of Native Americans. Cash’s record label tried talking him out of releasing the album, fearing it would alienate his country music fan base, but his regard for speaking out against injustice was more important.

Kris Kristofferson, Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, The Milk Carton Kids and others transform Cash’s political statement into a rootsy collection in the new album, “Look Again to the Wind: Johnny Cash’s Bitter Tears Revisited.”

Kristofferson — who was a member of The Highwaymen with Cash, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson from 1985-95 — handles the original album’s biggest track, “The Ballad of Ira Hayes,” with help from Gillian Welch and David Rawlings. Other standout performances include Harris taking on “Apache Tears”; a heartfelt version of “The Talking Leaves” with Nancy Blake supported by Harris, Welch and Rawlings; and Rhiannon Giddens’ haunting cover of “The Vanishing Race.” n John Carucci, Associated Press

Amy Grant

“In Motion The Remixes” Amy Grant never has shied away from experimentation and change. Having transformed herself from devout singersongwriter to upbeat pop star more than 20 years ago, she now leaps from the reflective tone of recent work to the electronic dance music beat of “In Motion - The Remixes,” which gives a glow-stick tweak to her catalog of hits.

A Christian music star who balances sensitive reflection with positive celebration, Grant might seem a tad wholesome for dance music’s hedonistic culture. But “In Motion” proves that positive lyrics set to a wicked beat can provide the juice to quench

a raver’s thirst.

Some of Grant’s repertoire easily adapts to the re-mix concept: Dave Aude’s ramped up “Baby Baby” capitalizes on the sunny energy of the 1991 hit.

Similarly, “Every Heartbeat” lends itself well to the hyper-drive of electronic duo Moto Blanco.

But other cuts required more ingenuity.

Tony Moran and Warren Rigg are surprisingly sublime in retooling the emotionally layered “Stay For Awhile.” The same goes for probing Grant gems like “That’s What Love Is For” (by producer Chris Cox) and the more recent “Better Than A Hallelujah,” which doesn’t lose its tender message amid the inventive production of DJ Mark Picchiotti.

Ace Frehley

“Space Invader”

With seven-plus years of sobriety under his belt, the original Kiss lead guitarist has recorded his best solo album since his groundbreaking self-titled album in 1978.

With walls of wailing guitars, droning feedback and snarling solos, Ace Frehley launches an old-school, ’70s-style hard rock jam fest. It kicks off with him talk-singing his way through the title track, about a well-intentioned extraterrestrial who comes to save the Earth, and it includes a sudden tempo change for the guitar solo just like he did on “Snowblind” and “I’m In Need of n Michael McCall, Associated Press Love” on his first solo record.

“Gimme A Feelin’” is a timeless rocker, Chase Rice with thick guitar chords, and “I Wanna Hold “Ignite the Night” You” and “What Every Girl Wants” could be melodic hits.

On “Do It Like On “Change” and “Inside the Vortex,” This,” country singer Frehley showcases some impressive growth Chase Rice suggests as a songwriter and arranger, with complex he and his friends chord progressions and melody lines. prefer pulling out a The only weak track is a vanilla remake fiddle at a back-country bonfire to dancing of Steve Miller’s “The Joker” that adds under a disco ball.

“Do It Like This” from his new album “Ignite the Night” opens with the sound of “Nashville a scratching turntable, a vocoder-altered Outlaws: A voice track, and an electronic drum patTribute To tern — even the banjo sounds like a looped Motley Crue” sample.

Highlights include Justin Moore’s “Home Sweet Home,” with its Lynyrd Skynyrdguitar tone and soulful vocals, The Mavericks using a Latin rhythm on “Dr. Feelgood” to bring out its dramatic story line, Eli Young Band’s sweetly melodic “Don’t Go Away Mad” and Lee Ann Rimes’ swinging “Smoking In The Boys Room.” n Michael McCall, Associated Press

Smokey Robinson “Smokey & Friends”

Smokey Robinson doesn’t want to be a relic and that’s understandable. He deserves for people to know his role as a chief architect of the Motown Sound and bard of the American romantic songbook, while remaining a vital, inspiring voice.

Therein lay the catalyst and challenge of “Smokey & Friends,” which finds him pairing with artists young and old on classics he composed, performed or both. Some duets boost the mission while others backfire.

On “Cruisin’,” Jessie J offers a spokenword testimony that includes how joining Robinson is “a dream come true.” It’s pleasant enough but hard to get past the pedestal upon which he’s been placed. On “Quiet Storm,” John Legend intones: “Bob Dylan called Smokey Robinson one of the greatest poets of all-time. Smokey, it’s an honor to sing with you.”

The collection clicks when the gushing takes a backseat to grooving. Steven Tyler approaches “You Really Got a Hold on Me” less reverentially and the result is something beautifully bawdy and bluesy.

Other songs that work and curb pining for the past are “The Way You Do (The Things You Do)” with CeeLo Green, which romps and rolls in a sonic workout that respects the Temptations’ version while adding something new, and “Ain’t That Peculiar,” which ain’t as peculiar as it might seem to feature James Taylor.

The same can’t be said about takes on two of Robinson’s most enduring, essential works: Elton John is his soulful best on “The Tracks of My Tears” and Sheryl Crow delivers Motown-worthy harmonies on “The Tears of A Clown,” yet you’ll find yourself waiting for Robinson to come in. n Jeff Karoub, Associated Press
