NEW ON DVD THIS WEEK “AGATHA RAISIN: SERIES 2”: Fans of the Agatha Raisin tales have been reading about her adventures written by Marion Chesney (released under the pseudonym M. C. Beaton) since 1992. The transformation of the beloved character into an eight-part British TV series and now three new movies on the Acorn TV streaming service required an actress who could handle the sleuthing skills of a Jessica Fletcher (of “Murder, She Wrote”) and the slapstick comedy of Lucille Ball.

Ashley Jensen, best known to American TV watchers for her work on “Ugly Betty,” proved able to handle both demands.

She brings both curiosity and comedic energy to the role that makes the unlikely sleuth so much fun to watch.

The second series includes the three films.

Offerings included in the DVD are “The Wizard of Evesham,” “The Fairies of Fryfam” and “The Curious Curate.” In “Evesham,” Agatha suspects her hair salon’s arrogant stylist is blackmailing clients with their darkest secrets.

“THE LEGO MOVIE 2: THE SECOND PART”: Everything that was so awesome about 2014’s “The Lego Movie” has been taken away brick by brick for the sequel. What is left is a pile of busted pieces that makes the production a mess.

There’s nothing director Mike Mitchell (“Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked”) can do when faced with a script that fails on so many levels. One of the biggest strengths of the first “Lego” movie was it had a layer of superficial fun that could keep the attention of the youngest moviegoer, whether via a

catchy pop tune or the colorful characters. There was also a level of humor aimed at older audiences from the same fun songs and characters.

What ends up being the biggest failure with the script is it doesn’t have the same beautiful central theme as the first film. The clever reveal of how the Lego world connected to the father and son behind the construction gave that film heart without forcing the story along.

ALSO NEW ON DVD AND BLU-RAY MAY 3 “WHAT MEN WANT”: Successful sports agent (Taraji P. Henson) mysteriously gains the ability to hear men’s thoughts.

“THE TOYS THAT MADE US”: The eight episodes of the Netflix documentary series includes looks at Barbie and Hello Kitty.

“BETTER CALL SAUL: SEASON FOUR”: The death of his brother finalizes Jimmy McGill’s (Bob Odenkirk) transformation into Saul Goodman.

“THE PRODIGY”: Mother must find a way to

protect her family when her son shows signs of being taken over by supernatural forces. Taylor Schilling stars.

“NEVER EVER”: A woman believes she has been left on her own after a tragedy only to discover that might not be the case.

“RISE OF THE ROCKETS”: Documentary looks at the evolution of the explosive form of travel in an era of a new interest in space exploration.

“BONANZA: THE OFFICIAL NINTH SEASON, VOLUMES ONE AND TWO”: One of the longest running TV Westerns focuses on Ben Cartwright (Lorne Greene) and his three sons.

“SESAME STREET: AWESOME ALPHABET COLLECTION”: Highlights include “The Beetles Perform Letter B” and “C is for Cookie.”

“REINVENTING ROSALEE”: Documentary about a holocaust survivor who decided at age 90 to change her life.

“MY SCIENTOLOGY MOVIE”: After documentarian Louis Theroux is

denied admittance to the Church of Scientology’s headquarters, he sets a plan in motion to try and reveal the inner workings of the organization.

“BLAZE”: Ethan Hawke directed the musical biopic inspired by the life of Blaze Foley.

“NO OFFENCE, SERIES 3”: Joanna Scanlan stars in this female-driven police procedural that follows an unorthodox team of police officers in Manchester.

“LIAR: SEASON 1”: Ioan Gruffudd stars in this story of a relationship that goes wrong.

“UNFORGOTTEN, SEASON 3”: The crime-solving duo of Cassie and Sunny are called when human remains are discovered by a road near London.

BELLINGHAM — Wildlife life will be all over downtown Bellingham on Saturday, though perhaps not the kind you’re thinking of.

The Procession of the Species is an annual parade of folks dressed up in homemade wildlife costumes and marching through downtown.

The march will begin at 3:30 p.m. at the Bellingham Public Library, 210 Lottie St., and continue along Commercial and Holly streets.

The parade culminates with music and dancing at Maritime Heritage Park; percussion instruments are recommended.

Spurred by a group of folk want-

ing to creatively celebrate Earth Day and the Endangered Species Act in Olympia in the 1995, community members organized and took to the streets in what they called the Procession of the Species. Now in its 24th year (16th in Bellingham), the Procession of the Species has become an annual staple for eco-minded community members to celebrate the diversity of the natural world.

There are three simple rules for the procession: no motorized vehicles (except wheelchairs), no live animals or pets and no written or spoken slogans. Participants are encouraged to make masks or work together to make a group costume.

ROCK FOR A CURE: The first Deborah Hodge Memorial Concert to raise money for the fight against cancer will take place at 2 p.m. Saturday, July 6, at Eagle Haven Winery, 8243 Sims Road, Sedro-Woolley. There will be several local bands, food, drinks, auction items and more. $15 and up.

TRAVEL

FA M I LY T R AV E L FI V E

On your next vacation, think outside the box

By LYNN

O’ROURKE HAYES

FamilyTravel.com

Planning your next family vacation? Turn the tables and try something new and different.

Here are five ideas to consider: 1. DON’T FLY OVER; MAKE IT A ROAD TRIP Drive through some beautiful country and stop often. Visitors who travel this extraordinary byway, experience the visual trifecta of Montana, Wyoming and Yellowstone Park, home to the Absaroka and Beartooth Mountains.

The Beartooth Highway, a windy, cliff-hugging 68-mile stretch introduces road explorers to one of the most diverse ecosystems accessible by auto. It’s also the highest elevation highway in the Northern Rockies.

Stunningly beautiful, the All-American Road showcases wide, high alpine plateaus, painted with patches of ice blue glacial lakes, forested valleys, waterfalls and wildlife. Plan for many pull overs and perhaps a picnic, so the driver can take in the long views. beartoothhighway.com 2. TRADE A RITZY RESORT FOR THE BACKCOUNTRY Family camping can help stir a deep and lifelong interest in the natural world. For the purest connection to nature, make your way off the beaten path.

Hike, paddle or float into a pristine location

SHUTTERSTOCK

Beartooth Highway

where your family can learn or hone wilderness skills. Choose a destination suitable for the ages and abilities of your crew. Encourage each person to take responsibility for the adventure, whether that be early research, carrying a small pack, collecting kindling or serving as master storyteller around the fire.

If you are concerned about the youngest members of your clan, consider a practice round in the backyard or nearby park. That way, if the weather or unforeseen forces create a kink in your plans, warm and dry shelter is nearby. backcountry.com; nps. gov

Awards. Check in to the Midtwon hotel’s Tony Awards Suite, a luxury space with jaw-dropping views of the Manhattan skyline.

You’ll be immersed in Broadway memorabilia and amenities including a Tony Awards songbook, scripts from award-winning plays, photographs, playbills, invitations and a video loop of footage from this season’s most popular productions. Of course, with all that inroom inspiration you’ll want to catch a stage performance yourselves.

Head to the TKTS booth in Time Square to snag last-minute, discounted tickets. sofitel-new-york.com; tdf.org

3. TRADE THE COUNTRY FOR THE CITY For the ultimate New York experience join the Sofitel New York in their salute to Broadway and the Tony

4. PUT DOWN THE CLUBS AND PICK UP A RACKET Then head to the Woodstock Inn & Resort in Vermont’s Green Mountains. Its new family programs

include instruction at the Woodstock Tennis Academy where families can hone skills and strategies while participating in relaxed games and doubles matches. A team of pros will host sessions at the resort’s world-class facilities which include indoor and outdoor U.S. Open and Hard-tru courts.

The program consists of four half-day sessions, Monday through Thursday. (Check the website for dates and details.)

While visiting the 2,500-plus acre property, families can also enjoy hiking, mountain biking, fishing and gardening classes. woodstockinn.com 5. TRADE TERRA FIRMA FOR A BOAT THAT FLOATS Go all in and commit to a family adventure aboard a Disney cruise ship. Choose from four vessels — Disney Wonder, Magic, Dream and Fantasy — each designed to conjure a bygone era but with plenty of modern amenities. (And, a respectful hat tip to the mouse that got the whole thing started.) Expect top-notch service from smiling staff members, character meet-andgreets each day, movies, performances, pool time and a menu of enrichment experiences. Disney aims to offer an elegant, yet family-friendly, experience on every ship. What you won’t find: a casino. disneycruise.disney. go.com

SUMMER MOVIE PREVIEW

Sequels galore, but original gems too

By LINDSEY BAHR AP Film Writer

LOS ANGELES — Summer at the movies has long been synonymous with blockbusters and franchises that are easy to spend a few hours with. For the most part, 2019 is no different.

You want superheroes?

You’ve got “Spider-Man: Far From Home” and “Dark Phoenix” on the horizon. Or sequels?

There’s “Toy Story 4,” “John Wick: Chapter 3,” ‘’Godzilla: King of the Monsters,” ‘’The Secret Life of Pets 2,” and even a “Fast & Furious” spin-off, “Hobbs & Shaw.”

How about a reboot with a casting twist? Look no further than the “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” update “The Hustle,” with Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson, or “Men In Black: International,” with Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth.

Biopics? “Rocketman” is coming and “Brian Banks” too. A literary adaptation?

There’s “The Sun Is Also a Star” and “Where’d You Go

Bernadette?” Or a remake of an animated classic?

Disney has you covered with two: “Aladdin” and “The Lion King.”

But there is also a world of original films that will add fresh stories, unique perspectives, depth and diversity to the mix. And they’re not all indies either.

Some studios are making big gestures, with original horrors, comedies and major releases from auteurs: Quentin Tarantino has his 1969 Manson-era Los Angeles film “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” which Sony will release; and Danny Boyle has “Yesterday,” coming from Universal.

“Yesterday,” while a fresh conceit, does have a big recognizable selling point: It’s about the music of The Beatles and what happens when everyone in the world forgets that they ever existed — except one struggling musician.

Boyle laughed that the songs are “both the enabler and the destroyer. Because if you get them wrong, it’s terrible, there’s nothing worse.

If you get them right, it gives you an advantage.”

DISNEY VIA AP

Zazu (voiced by John Oliver, left) and Simba (voiced by JD McCrary) are shown in a scene from “The Lion King.”

He even made the bold choice to cast a relatively unknown actor in the lead role.

“Any studio is going to prefer one of the leading men if you can get it,” Boyle said. “But there’s a natural inhibitor here: They’ve got to be able to play Beatles songs.”

The one who stood out in a sea of “Yesterday” auditions was Himesh Patel, who Boyle said made them sound new.

“It’s not cheap making a Beatles movie. The Beatles songs cost money. But (the studio) saw the audition and they bought into him,” Boyle said. “He’s a lovely discovery. He has a mod-

ern sense of humor.”

There’s also the Bruce Springsteen-soundtracked film “Blinded by the Light,” from “Bend It Like Beckham” director Gurinder Chadha, the Uber driver who gets in over his head comedy “Stuber,” with Kumail Nanjiani, and Mindy Kaling’s “Late Night,” in which she plays a diversity hire on a late night talk show writing staff.

There’s also diversity in the independent realm with two notable and highly personal visions manifested in Lulu Wang’s “The Farewell,” with Awkwafina, and “The Last Black Man in San Francisco,” both A24 releases.

Wang’s semi-autobiographical film about a Chinese-American family who decides to keep their Chinese grandmother’s terminal illness from her, was a breakout at the Sundance Film Festival.

“The Last Black Man in San Francisco” is another exciting discovery from newcomer Jimmie Fails who wrote and stars in this story about gentrification and loving a home that’s no longer yours.

“I love that company,” Fails said of A24. “They give young, new voices a platform.”

Another outfit taking gambles on new stories is Annapurna, which backed Olivia Wilde’s directorial debut “Booksmart,” a sureto-be breakout about two high school overachievers and devoted good girls who decide to go to a party one night.

Focus Features is releasing Jim Jarmusch’s star-studded zombie-comedy, “The Dead Don’t Die,” with Bill Murray and Adam Driver, and Neon has “Wild Rose,” about an Irish mother of two youngsters, recently

released from prison, who dreams of being a country music star.

Some found luck with Netflix, like Amy Poehler with “Wine Country,” which is based on a real trip she took with Maya Rudolph, Tina Fey, Rachel Dratch and others. In the film, the group of friends gets together in Napa to celebrate a 50th birthday.

“The summer can be a land of opportunity for films that offer an antidote to the overwhelming onslaught of blockbusters that are the stock in trade of the industry’s biggest season,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for Comscore.

Of course it’s usually the franchises that earn the most. Last summer the top five films were all sequels and accounted for over 40 percent of the overall summer box office. The last time a non-animated original topped the summer box office was in 1998 with “Saving Private Ryan.”

And this year needs all the help it can get, even with the “Avengers: Endgame” boost, the year is still down 13.3%.
