Angling for a family fishing adventure?

By LYNN O’ROURKE HAYES The Dallas Morning News

Here are five places where you can cast a line with the kids in tow: 1. Wilderness Bay Lodge, Ely, Minnesota. You’ll take a short boat ride to check in at this family-owned lodge on one of Snowbank Lake’s most pristine and secluded bays along the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. That’s just the beginning of the fun.

Stay in a cozy cabin, where you’ll have the chance to disconnect from the outside world while making time to hike nearby trails, fish for lake trout, walleye, pike and bass. Head out on your own or learn from a local fishing guide. For an extra dose of adventure, head farther into the Boundary Waters for an overnight accessible only via canoe and portage. wilder nessbaylodge.com 2.

What’s hot: Sharing videos with friends and family can be boring, but with this app you can add depth and context to the video before sharing on it on Twitter, Facebook, Twicer, by text, email or your own blog.

E14 - Thursday, June 4, 2015

MOVIES NEW THIS WEEK The best musical biographies give you a moment when the hairs on the back of your neck stand up as you witness the miracle of a song’s creation. We get a chill as Ray Charles cooks up “What’d I Say?” or Mozart madly turns a baroque ditty into a mini-masterpiece, straight off the frilly cuff.

“LOVE & MERCY,” the new film about the rise, fall and revival of Beach Boy Brian Wilson, treats us to several of those. Producer (“Brokeback Mountain”) turned director Bill Pohlad takes his camera close to the keys as Brian plucks piano strings with hairpins, leaving a few on adjacent strings to create a rattling echo. We hear what singer Mike Love (Jake Abel) heard in the chords that turned into “Good Vibrations,” Wilson’s “pocket symphony.”

“Love & Mercy” tells a tale of two Brians — the young, competitive genius who transcended the surf, sun and sexy girls pop that made the band famous and concocted “Pet Sounds,” his answer to the best of The Beatles. Paul Dano, in a brilliant performance, lets us drift into young Wilson’s skull, experience the slack-jawed trances that had him translate the sounds in his head into records.

But “Love & Mercy” captures some of the downside of that genius. We see his descent into madness, the drugs and perfectionism that drove it. And we witness the lifelong struggle for acceptance by his abusive father (Bill Camp, subtle and sharp), and revenge by detailing the abuse — physical and passive-aggressive mental — after his father’s death.

John Cusack plays this older, postbreakdown Wilson, a twitchy, tentative millionaire genius who has the guilelessness and sweetness of an abused puppy. That’s the Wilson Melinda Ledbetter (Elizabeth Banks) met when he came to buy a Cadillac from her in the late 1970s. That Wilson was in the care of and totally under the thumb of therapist/guru Dr. Eugene Landy, played with bug-eyed bile by Paul Giamatti.

Landy may have saved Wilson from his downward mental spiral, something “Love & Mercy” doesn’t show. But by the time Ledbetter met a smitten Wilson, the relationship had turned manipulative, overmedicating and predatory.

Pohlad, working from a script by Oren “I’m Not There/The Messenger” Moverman and Michael A. Lerner (“Dumb and Dumber”), weaves these two eras together, showing Wilson at his creative peak, the beginnings of his descent, and then at the moment of his rebirth. Structurally, it works even if we suspect much is being left out. Landy diagnosed the man as “paranoid schizophrenic,” a not-unreasonable assumption, based on the late ’60s Wilson’s behavior. Somehow, the helper turned into a predator, and that story is a movie in itself.

Dano put on a layer of puffiness for the part, and makes us feel the control freak neediness of an artist who never felt appreciated by those closest to him. Cusack adds vocal and physical mannerisms to the later Brian, but wearing his familiar jet-black dye job undercuts the illusion. He never loses himself in the role. Banks nicely hints at the attraction Ledbetter must have felt before her need to rescue him took precedence in the relationship.

“Love & Mercy” strikes all the expected notes of hunger, creative fervor, success, tragedy and vindication that we expect from such movies. But if you don’t get a little chill hearing Dano, doing his own rehearsal singing, picking out “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” or “In My Room” or “God Only Knows” at the piano, your musical tastes need broadening.

2:00: Rating: PG-13 for thematic elements, drug content and language. HHH n Roger Moore, Tribune News Service

MINI-REVIEWS Compiled from news services.

Ratings are one to four stars.

“Aloha” — Bradley Cooper is terrific as a defense contractor working in Hawaii, reconnecting with an ex (Rachel McAdams) and charmed by a fighter pilot (Emma Stone). Cameron Crowe has directed a greatlooking movie with just enough bright spots to get us past the cloudy moments.

Comedy/drama/romance, PG-13, 105 minutes. HHH “Animals” — Two young lovers hunt for heroin on the streets of Chicago in a stark, brilliant, uncompromising, beautifully acted piece of work that deserves to be mentioned with “The Panic in Needle Park” and “Requiem for a Dream” as a cautionary tale about drug addiction. Rating: Drama, not rated, 90 minutes. HHHH “Avengers: Age of Ultron” — Captain America, Iron Man, Thor and the rest are back in a giant superhero adventure that’s sometimes daffy, occasionally baffling, surprisingly touching and even romantic with one kinetic thrill after another. It earns a place of high ranking in the Marvel Universe. Superhero action,1 PG-13, 142 minutes. HHH ⁄2 “Every Secret Thing” — If you’re going to make a movie about two 11-year-old girls who are put away for murdering an infant, that film should be something special. Otherwise, why delve into such subject matter? Instead we’re left with a pedestrian crime-thriller that never goes beyond the surface of its challenging themes.

Crime drama, R, 93 minutes.

HH “Entourage” — The TV show about a movie star (Adrian Grenier), his agent (Jeremy Piven) and his hangers-on was already spinning its wheels when its HBO run ended in 2011. This bigscreen update feels more like a rerun than a fully formed, stand-alone movie. Comedy, R, 104 minutes. HH “Furious 7” — This is one of the most ridiculous thrillers I’ve ever seen, but I have to admit I was entertained by the sheer audacity of the car chases and battle sequences -- and there were even some genuinely touching moments. Action, PG-13, 137 minutes. HHH “Good Kill” — Ethan Hawke delivers a superb, intense performance as a veteran pilot now controlling drones that kill

Taliban fighters a world away.

“Good Kill” is never subtle and occasionally veers into implausibility, but the visuals pack a visceral punch. War drama, R, 103 minutes. HHH “I Am Big Bird” — Complete with old home movies, behind-the-scenes footage and testimonials from colleagues, this documentary is a loving, respectful (if at times shamelessly sentimental) portrayal of Caroll Spinney, the man who has been inside the yellow “Sesame Street” costume for 46 years and counting.

Documentary, not rated, 90 1 minutes. HHH ⁄2 “Kingsman: The Secret Service” — In a very violent and very silly movie, Colin Firth gives a disciplined, serious performance as a spy from a super-secret British agency.

“Kingsman,” a relentless, hardcore spoof of the old-school James Bond movies, is the craziest movie I’ve seen in a long time. Spy adventure, R, 129 1 minutes. HHH ⁄2 “Serena” — After a string of fine performances, Bradley Cooper is utterly unbelievable as a ruthless, Depression-era timber baron who looks like he just stepped off a GQ photo shoot. And as his bonkers new bride, Jennifer Lawrence is monumentally bad. Despite all the ingredients for a prestige film, what we have here is an epic clunker. Drama, R,

109 minutes. H “The D Train” — Jack Black gives a heavy-on-the-mugging performance as a sad sack determined to recruit the star of his high school class (James Marsden) to the 20-year reunion. Nothing feels the least bit authentic, and worse, little about it is funny — a deadly recipe for a dark comedy. Comedy, R, 98 minutes. H “The Forger” — John Travolta murders his Boston accent as a world-class art forger hired to fake a Monet and swap it out with the real thing. Even with a terminally ill teenage son character, “The Forger” is consistently ineffective as a sentimental tearjerker -- and an even bigger failure as a heist movie. Crime 1 drama, R, 92 minutes. H ⁄2 “The Gunman” — Rarely have two Oscar-winning actors been so stunningly off the mark as Sean Penn (ripped and deeply bronzed) and Javier Bardem are in this international thriller. “The Gunman” follows a predictable pattern: cheesy, semitense dialogue followed by either a shootout or a “Bourne”-type fight scene. Action thriller, R, 115 minutes. H “The Longest Ride” — These Nicholas Sparks movies tend to get jumbled into one big cliche-riddled story.

This time around, we get two romances -- one set in modern

times, one dating back to the 1940s -- with a twist that’s so ridiculous I think we’re almost supposed to laugh. Romance, PG-13, 139 minutes. HH “The Water Diviner” — Russell Crowe’s lifetime of experience on film sets shows in his directorial debut, a first-rate post-World War I drama with a heavy dose of sentiment and a gripping storyline. He stars as a grieving Australian who journeys to Turkey to find the remains of his sons, all killed in battle. Drama, R, 111 min1 utes. HHH ⁄2 “Tomorrowland” — A girl discovers a futuristic parallel universe in this great-looking, old-fashioned, at times soaring adventure ultimately brought down by a needlessly convoluted plot, some surprisingly casual violence and heavy-handed lectures about how we’re our own worst enemy. Fantasy adventure, PG, 130 minutes. HH “True Story” — James Franco delivers a compelling performance as the conniving albeit charming sociopath Christian Longo in a story based on one of the more bizarre journalist/ defendant alliances in modern annals. Jonah Hill co-stars as Michael Finkel, a disgraced superstar journalist who seizes the opportunity through Longo for a possible career comeback. 1Drama, R, 100 minutes.

MUSIC FLORENCE & THE MACHINE, “How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful” — “How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful” counts as scaling back for Florence & the Machine.

It’s a little less big (there is more breathing room here than on 2009’s “Lungs” or 2011’s “Ceremonials,” although the tone, with many brassy fanfares, is still triumphant) and a little less blue (aside from the terrific “Ship to Wreck,” Florence Welch mostly resists her impulse to inundate the songs with water imagery).

But it’s a little more beautiful: “Various Storms & Saints” and “St. Jude” contain Welch’s most introspective and restrained performances.

“How Big” may be Florence & the Machine’s most cohesive album, but the highs aren’t quite as high or as ubiquitous as they were on “Lungs” and “Ceremonials.” Welch is a powerhouse vocalist, and she’s at her best when she trusts her unrestrained emotions and indulges in unfettered arrangements, as she does on the title track and “What Kind of Man.” n Steve Klinge, The Philadelphia Inquirer

WILLIE NELSON AND MERLE HAGGARD, “Django and Jimmie” — In the

middle of their third album together as a duo, Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard confess, “We’d have taken better care of ourselves, if we’d have known we were gonna live this long.” Actually, the two long-in-the-tooth legends are in pretty fine shape, physically and creatively, and “Django and Jimmie” offers further evidence.

The title track refers to the two men’s primary musical influences — jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt for Nelson, 82, and country pioneer Jimmie Rodgers for Haggard, 78. It’s not the only self-referential number. Others include the clever and catchy “It’s All Going to Pot” and “Missing Ol’ Johnny Cash” (with a guest vocal by fellow old-timer Bobby Bare). The vibe throughout is easygoing. Two old friends have fun together on a set that ranges from quiet ballads to the lively country rocker “It’s Only Money.”

Given their lofty reputations as hardliving musical iconoclasts, and their continuing vitality, it’s fitting that Nelson and Haggard conclude by paying tribute to one another with “The Only Man Wilder Than Me.” n Nick Cristiano, The Philadelphia Inquirer

SOAK, “Before We Forgot How to Dream” — Irish teen Bridie MondsWatson took the name Soak to stand for a combination of soul and folk, which she says describes her distinctive musical style. The description may be accurate on a certain level, but it also misleads. There is nothing traditional here from either of those genres, except maybe in the sense of great music with a profound emotional edge. Soak drenches her album in reveries about growing up in an absurd world where things may not always make sense or be right. This realization grounds her songs.

turning it out onto an unexpecting world.

You can make the case that Algiers aren’t original, but it’s hard to argue that they aren’t exciting. n Kevin Korber, PopMatters.com

GOATSNAKE, “Black Age Blues” — Greg Anderson must know a thing or two about meditation. As one-half of the pioneering drone metal outfit Sunn O))), the guitarist certainly has an understanding of how patience and discipline can take us higher. Now Anderson has revived his pre-Sunn O))) group, the stoner doom riff monster that is Goatsnake.
