NEW ON DVD THIS WEEK “CAPTAIN MARVEL”: The brain trust behind the Marvel Cinematic Universe finally got around to producing a movie with a female character as the star. In this case, “Captain Marvel” tells the tale of how Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) goes from a test pilot dealing with gender bias to being one of the most powerful heroes this side of Asgard. This unfolds when Earth ends up being the battleground for two warring alien races.

Why Marvel didn’t turn to the established Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) is a curiosity, but the company should be praised for taking a big first step into the world of superhero gender equality.

It’s just sad that step was more of a stumble than a stride.

“Captain Marvel” gets huge points for creating another female hero. It is not enough points to counter a script that has plot holes and mythology confusion to go along with a cast that’s good but not the perfect selections that have become a trademark of the MCU. The film could have been great but ends up falling short of Marvel-ous.

“FIVE FEET APART”: Young love that is complicated by a major medical issue is nothing new, as that has been the

“Five Feet Apart” certainly will grab your heart and squeeze every last tear out of you. But because of a wonderfully energetic and smart performance

by Richardson, the final result isn’t one that will leave you feeling sorry for the pair as patients, but be touched by them as those who must deal with a love that should have never

THROWBACK FUN IN SEDRO-WOOLLEY

Celebrating 1969 with Blast from the Past

By VINCE RICHARDSON @Sports_SVH

SEDRO-WOOLLEY — It may not be back to the future, but it is Blast from the Past and it’s returning to downtown Sedro-Woolley.

And with it, history repeats itself beginning Friday and rolling through Sunday, June 7-9, with events the entire family can enjoy on the town’s main drag, Metcalf Street and thereabouts, all referring back to the year 1969.

“So far, it’s going really well,” said Sarah Johnson, Sedro-Woolley Chamber of Commerce title clerk and event planner. “We didn’t have the best weather last year. We are hoping for better weather this year.”

The annual event boasts a bevy of vendors pedaling everything from local craft-made goods to fresh food and drink from inside the cozy confines of booths and tents.

“We have 68 vendors so far,” Johnson said.

“That’s more than we had last year and we are expecting to get even more with the arts and crafts vendors vintage market.”

Looking for a firstplace finish in hula-hooping, jump-roping or good old fashion pie-eating contests?

You’ll get your shot, seeing how titles will be up for grabs (and bites) as participants look to out hoop, jump and eat their way past the competition.

There will also be live music Saturday and Sunday.

How about a color run? A car show? Absolutely.

The ‘Blast of Color 5K Family Fun Run/Walk’ is an untimed event; however, feel free to start your own stopwatch and try to better that personal record. The course is flat, out and back on paved roads and trails, with multiple color stations situated along the route.

Day of registration will set you back $30

‌

for adults and minors — bib, color packet and glasses are included in the registration. Those ages 8 and under get a bib number only.

On Sunday, the Blast from the Past Car Show will showcase stock, custom and street cars as well as pickup and big trucks, all show-shined and tuned to perfection.

Registration for the car show begins at 6:30 a.m. at Ferry and Murdock streets, with trophies awarded at 2:30 p.m. The entry fee is $10 and dash plaques will be awarded to the first 100 registrants.

Parking is first come, first served.

“There’s something for everyone,” Johnson said. “The waterball will be back again and the

temporary tattoo artist.

Show up and have some fun.”

MINI REVIEWS

Despite sharp script, ‘Late Night’ lacks bite

By KATIE WALSH Tribune News Service

“Late Night” could not be more timely. Mindy Kaling’s comedy about the role of women (and women of color) in the television industry strikes swiftly and precisely while the iron is hot and the conversation is topical.

Written with the kind of specificity Kaling has mined from years of working in TV, it feels like it’s pulling back the curtain on what we know and assume to be true. But despite its sharp script, impeccable casting and a powerhouse performance by star Emma Thompson, “Late Night” feels less like a knife to the heart of the good-old boys club and more like a playful punch to the arm.

Nisha Ganatra directs Kaling’s script, about once-trenchant late night host Katherine Newbury (Thompson). Her role is threated when network CEO Caroline Morton (Amy Ryan) suggests they’ll be replacing her with gross-out bro comic Daniel Tennant (Ike Barinholtz), the opposite of Katherine’s sharply feminist, erudite British humor. A bit of a narcissist and a toxic boss, Katherine has a hit a rut with her exceedingly white, exceedingly male writers room, who aren’t willing to take on tough topics from a feminine point of view. Katherine instructs her second-in-command, Brad (Denis O’Hare), to “hire a woman,” seemingly only to make a point. So

he passes over the monologue writer’s brother to hire Molly Patel (Kaling), a chemical engineer and totally green writer who leveraged some corporate connections to snag the interview.

“Late Night” isn’t afraid to grapple with the implications of the label “diversity hire,” which is levied as both an insult and a challenge to Molly.

Her identity as a woman of color may have gotten her in the room, and now she has to prove she can do the job. When the women are debating the finer points of being a woman in this particular workplace, the script is aces, blazing with zingers that could be ripped from this real-life debate.

Kaling has written an absolutely stunning role for Thompson, whose Katherine is proud, brittle

and insecure underneath her mask of cold bravado.

Kaling and Thompson craft an utterly complicated, infuriating yet endearing character whom Thompson imbues with so much intelligence. It’s rare for a woman of a certain age to have a role this complex to tear into, and Thompson doesn’t waste the chance.

But in contrast to the Shakespearean Katherine, one can’t help but feel like Kaling forgot to write herself. Her bubbly Molly leans heavily on fan familiarity with her iconic TV characters Kelly Kapoor from “The Office” and Mindy Lahiri from “The Mindy Project.” Fans of Kaling will enjoy seeing her in this mode, and she’s exceedingly charming, along with the rest of the supporting cast. But there’s not much in the

way of character development, and her Molly feels inconsistent and flighty, especially next to the gravitas of Thompson’s Katherine.

There are moments when it seems like “Late Night” could have gone further, darker and deeper into the emotional depths that especially Thompson plumbs. But at every opportunity, the filmmakers keep it light and bubbly on the surface, opting for wildly unrealistic happy endings and rapid resolutions in the place of something sharper that could have been the more interesting choice. Despite its willingness to pose the tough questions, it often feels like “Late Night” takes the easy way out.

– 1:42. Rated R for language throughout and some sexual references. HH½ (out of four stars).

Compiled from news services.

Ratings are 1 to 4 stars.

“Brightburn” — The Breyers of Brightburn, Kansas, might be the dumbest couple in America. When a UFO crash-lands and they find an infant from outer space inside, rather than dialing 911, they take in the child and raise it as their own. Horror, R, 90 minutes. H½ “The Souvenir” — In a stunning piece of work, Honor Swinton Byrne plays a filmmaker involved with a guy who will break her heart, help her piece it back together, and break it again. It’s a movie about moviemaking, a profile of a complicated mother-daughter dynamic, and a devastatingly effective examination of a romance that turns into a horror show. Drama, R, 115 minutes. HHH½ “Aladdin” — Despite a couple of large, genie-blue stumbles along the way, Guy Ritchie’s live-action version of Disney’s “Aladdin” is on balance a colorful and lively adventure suitable for all ages and a touching romance featuring two attractive leads. I liked the flying carpet, too. Musical fantasy, PG, 128 minutes. HHH “Trial by Fire” — Convicted of starting a fire that killed three children, a Texas troublemaker (Jack O’Connell) gets help from a writer (Laura Dern) convinced of his innocence.

While this politically charged procedural features a number of standout performances and is on balance a solid, debate-inducing piece of filmmaking, it traffics in largely familiar territory. Biographical drama, R, 127 minutes. HHH “The Professor” — Johnny Depp plays an academic who learns he’s dying of cancer in a film that mistakes the title character’s snarky, smug, unfiltered persona for charm and charisma. Even though the tragicomedy clocks in at 91 minutes, the good professor starts wearing out his welcome well within the first hour. Comedy drama, R, 91 minutes. H½ “John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum” — The third installment of the ultraviolent, wonderfully askew “John Wick” franchise is the most outlandish and maybe the most entertaining chapter to date. Keanu Reeves returns, giving a classic deadpan performance in an escapist movie that encourages us to groan and cringe and laugh at the mayhem. Action thriller, R, 131 minutes. HHH “The Hustle” — Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson do their best to add zip and zest to a nearly laugh-free, unimaginative story about a pair of mismatched con artists duping superficial and incredibly stupid men. Even with a running time of 93 minutes, “The Hustle” felt about an hour too long. Comedy, PG-13, 93 minutes. H “Charlie Says” — “Charlie Says” focuses on the efforts of a prison educator to understand three of Charles Manson’s most notorious disciples in the early 1970s, but about half the film is devoted to flashbacks to Manson’s reign over a group of lost and delusional sycophants. While well-intentioned and thoughtful, “Charlie Says” is too ambivalent and too safe to deliver much in the way of original insight.

Biographical drama, R, 111 minutes. HH “The Intruder” — Newcomers to a country home in Napa (Michael Ealy, Meagan Good) can’t seem to shake the menacing former owner (Dennis Quaid). Every single character in this film, including the villain, is irritatingly, maddeningly dumb. Drama/suspense, PG-13, 101 minutes.

‘Dark Phoenix’ star keeps real-world issues in mind while playing Magneto The “X-Men” franchise may center on mutants and superheroes, but actor Michael Fassbender has long felt the magnetic pull of real-world problems as he stars in the movies.

Fassbender returns as the powerful Magneto in the latest film, “Dark Phoenix,” and leads a sanctuary called Genosha to protect his fellow mutants from oppression.

The symbolism between the X-Men and real life is something that attracted Fassbender to the series at the very beginning.

“We’re dealing with a fantastical world and

it’s make-believe and it’s high-concept stuff, but at the center of it all, there is this core,” Fassbender, 42, told the Daily News.

“It was developed around the civil rights movement.

Fassbender Right at the beginning, I always saw (Magneto) as like a Malcolm X character and Professor X as Martin Luther King, and that was the way we always approached it.

“I think that’s what makes it very interesting, that you can have this very

“Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile” — Zac Efron and Lily Collins star in this character study of the narcissistic killer Ted Bundy, who maintained his innocence for years, and Elizabeth Kloepfer, the woman who loved and wanted so much to believe him. This docudrama-style adaptation of Kloepfer’s memoir conveys a sense of authenticity and essential truth. Crime/drama, R, 109 minutes. HHH “Long Shot” — In a cheerfully raunchy, entertainingly weird slapstick comedy, a widely respected presidential candidate (Charlize Theron) begins an unlikely romance with her dorky new speechwriter (Seth Rogen). Of course he’s out of his league. That’s the launching point for the laughs. Comedy, R, 125 minutes. HHH “Family” — Like a latter-day Uncle Buck, tightly wound Kate (Taylor Schilling) is stuck watching over her 11-year-old niece, an outcast

who runs away to an Insane Clown Posse festival. The refreshingly unfiltered coming-of-age comedy somehow manages to be funny, sweet and sentimental — AND paints a positive picture of the Juggalos. Comedy, R, 83 minutes. HHH “Red Joan” — In a criminal waste of her talent, Dame Judi Dench plays a British matron accused of spying for the Russians in a story told mostly in flashback, with Sophie Cookson playing her younger self.

It’s almost fascinating how stultifying this movie is, given the premise, but “Red Joan” is a soapy, clumsy, maddeningly simplistic mess. Spy biography, R, 101 minutes. HH “Stockholm” — Alternately farcical and intense and tragi-comic, this low-key version of “Dog Day Afternoon” is based on the 1973 bank heist and hostage crisis that gave rise to the term “Stockholm syndrome.” Ethan Hawke plays the robber, and you’d be hard-pressed to cast

relevant and serious theme at the center of it all, and that goes for whatever reason it may be, through sort of an ethnic background or whatever sexual preference anybody has, people that feel like they have been pushed to the margins of society, or feel like they’re different, or they’re misfits, or they’re excluded. That’s something that is very relevant, and I think a lot of people experience it.”

The franchise’s latest movie involves one of the X-Men, Jean Grey (played

by Sophie Turner), gaining unprecedented power that she struggles to control after being struck by a mysterious cosmic force

during a space mission gone wrong. The other X-Men attempt to save her as she unintentionally wreaks havoc with her newfound abilities.

“Dark Phoenix” is Fassbender’s fourth film portraying Magneto, whose real name is Erik Lehnsherr. The complex character is capable of controlling metal and magnetic fields and has been both an adversary and ally of Professor Charles Xavier, leader of the X-Men. “In this one, he’s kind of like a cult leader of sorts, I suppose,” Fassbender said of his character. “He’s made a compromise of sorts. The war against the

human race has sort of come to an end for him because he’s managed to build Genosha. … That is interrupted by some news that comes his way which sort of pulls him back into conflict, but a different kind of conflict.”

With “Dark Phoenix,” Fassbender feels like the series has come full circle, with Simon Kinberg — who wrote the past two X-Men movies and produced the last three — making his directorial debut.

“This story is about family, and how one member of the family is going through a real hardship, and what that does to the family and how the family

is kind of torn apart,” Fassbender says. “It feels like a very satisfying finish to the saga.”

The X-Men are among the properties recently acquired by Disney in a $71 billion deal with Fox, leaving the next phase for the beloved mutant characters undetermined.

“I’m very satisfied with the journey I’ve had on this,” Fassbender said. “I have no idea what’s happening in the future. In my mind I see it as sort of the last film, but I’m really grateful to have been on the journey, and really satisfied with the work that’s been done.”
