VOLUME 4, NUMBER 45 • NOVEMBER 9, 2017
There’s a lot of storytelling in this
week’s issue. Which is what we love to do:
tell the stories of southeastern Minnesota
and share them with you.
First, there’s the Oral History Fair at
the library. They’re collecting histories of
the area as told by the people who lived
them. Including you.
Then there’s Author, who tells stories
through music. The frontman is native to
Rochester, and he brings this Twin Cities
band to Kathy’s on Monday night to spice
up your week.
If movies are more your style, you can
now get one delivered right to your door,
along with pizza thanks to Marco’s Pizza
and Family Video. That’s a story we’re glad
to tell.

It can be an alien notion: the idea that
within each of us is a historical narrative.
Yet we live in interesting times. And
sometime, decades from now, our
children will ask us: What was like to
live through the Rochester flood of 1978?
What was it like to live under President
Trump?
Gather around, children, for I have a
story to tell.
That is the main idea behind “Our
Community, Our Stories,” an oral history
project organized by Rochester Public
Library and the History Center of Olmsted
County. The project’s aim is to record
and archive the stories of historically
underrepresented populations in Olmsted
County.
“I do believe everybody carries a piece of
history within them, no matter how old
they are,” said Kim Edson, head of the
library’s reader services.

Saving history one story at a time
I F Y O U G OWhat Oral History Fair
When 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 12
Where Rochester Public Library, 101 2nd St. SE, Rochester
Admission Free
The sound booth at the Rochester
Public Library.
Visitors will be able to talk to somebody
whose oral history has been captured and
archived. So far, the project has recorded
13 oral histories. They include Joyce Gibbs,
one of the first African-American people
to make Rochester her home. The Sisters
of St. Francis of Assisi also regale the
key role they played in the response to
Rochester’s epic flood.
Edson said the focus was on selecting
people who could speak to the 1970s, a
time of significant change for Rochester.
But the long-range goal is to add to
the community-wide database of oral
histories. The fair will give people the
chance to meet the people behind the
stories. It will also be an opportunity for
community members to learn how they
can create their own oral histories.
“It’s taken almost a year to get (the
stories) pulled together, but the people
who have been highlighted in our first
round of stories are going to be there to
ask questions,” Edson said.
People will learn how to create their own
oral histories. The goal is grow the project’s
database of oral histories. $12,700 in grant
money allowed the library to purchase a
sound booth, two personal computers, and
microphones. The sound booth is located
in the fiction area of the library, and a staff
member will be on hand to assist in the
oral history by framing questions that are
common for such histories, Edson said.
“We want to give the community the
tools to (start) creating their own personal
histories,” Edson said.
You’ll get a chance to practice in the
sound booth.
“We’ll record it, and if they want to
make it available to the public, they can,
and if they don’t, we won’t,” Edson said.
“Just gives them a chance to practice.”
Here are three things that people can do and learn by going to the Oral History Fair.

Green chenille foxes, collagraph
prints, and beaded jewelry will
all be available at a holiday pop-
up market at Forager Brewing,
sponsored by local artists’
collaborative Gallery 24. It will provide
shoppers the perfect opportunity to get
a head start on their naughty and nice
lists.
Organized by Gallery 24 President
Cassandra Buck, the market is set to
feature art in a wide array of mediums
from at least 10 local artists. One of the
featured artists is local arts advocate
Chad Allen.
“An arts ecosystem is at its healthiest
when creatives are able to make a living
from their work, whether it be paintings
or music, knitted scarves or pottery,”
Allen says. “Pop-up markets like Forager’s
are an integral part, right along with
galleries, music venues, and museums.”
Allen praises the way Forager has
supported creatives, even to the point of
hiring local artist Trevor Sim to illustrate
their beer labels.
With warm drinks from Fiddlehead
Coffee, a wide selection of unique local
art, and cultural camaraderie galore, this
pop-up market promises many pleasures.

Forager to host three holiday pop-up markets
I F Y O U G O
What Holiday Pop-Up Market
Where Forager Brewing Company, 1005 6th St. NW, Rochester
When 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 12 (They’re hosting two more on Nov. 26 and Dec. 10)
Admission Free
H O L I DAY P O P - U P M A R K E T A R T 71 1 . 9 . 1 7
A furniture maker, painter,
photographer, potter, muralist, and
“haphazard humorist,” Chad Allen is all
in when it comes to art. In the coming
months, his art will find its way into just
about every creative corner of town. He’ll
have his works featured at the holiday
pop-up, the Jive Mill, in a solo exhibition
at Gallery 24 (one that promises the
opportunity to launch Rochester’s
infamous corn tower into flight), at Café
Steam, at the People’s Food Co-op, and in
a mural on the stairwell of The Doggery
and Firefly Barre and Fitness.
Though Allen received formal training
in painting, drawing, and printmaking at
the University of Northern Iowa and with
Meg Biddle at the Lincoln Square Pottery
Studio and Leaning Center, he attributes
a lot of his style to his grandpa Jack who
introduced him to “doodling cartoons”
when he was still in elementary school.
He also says the oversized pottery “farm
bowls” he creates harken back to family
heirlooms he found among the smells of
“pies, bacon grease, and buttermilk” in the
Iowan home of his childhood.
His color blindness has influenced
Allen’s artistic practice. “When I do use
color, I use vibrant raw hues that seem
to pop with my defunct rods and cones.
However, I primarily work with black on
white because it does my eyes good,” he
says.
Making something every day helps
an artist stay in practice and not get
too attached to any one piece. Every
day, Allen posts a drawing on social
media. “I never plan a drawing of the day
before hitting pen to paper; rather, the
nonsensical images come to me,” he says.
These drawing portray everything from
rabid beaver dentists to Victrola-toting
donkeys. Their only common thread
is the characters’ different-sized eyes;
they reflect the way Allen’s eyes each
appear to be a different size when he is
photographed.
At the pop-up, Allen will be offering
“abstract architectural” drawings
representing Rochester’s landscape on red
cedar blocks. He encourages Rochesterites
to find holiday gifts friends will appreciate
at the pop-up instead of buying them
more tube socks. “Quit lying to yourself,”
he says. “Nobody likes tube socks.”
ARTIST SPOTLIGHT:CHAD ALLEN
Allen’s advice for supporting Rochester’s local arts ecosystem
“Pay for shows you like, buy art you love, compensate creatives for their time,
talk about the art you’ve seen and music you’ve heard - what you loved about it,
and where others can get/see/listen for themselves.”
“Charley and Will Put Sugar on Their Kernels”
“If You Climb Through Barb’s Holes in
Proper Sequence You’ll Be Teleported to
the Other Rochester”“Drawing of the Day” series “Protects Books from Thieves in the Night in
Exchange for the Tears of a Newborn Babe”

My Town Music is at it again. This
time they bring Twin Cities
atmospheric rockers Author to the
second floor stage at Kathy’s Pub.
Author’s latest tune, “Want,”
came out back in June. You can listen at
weareauthor.com. Local Sports, an area
punk-pop powerhouse, will open. You can
nab their latest release on their Bandcamp
page, localsportsmn.bandcamp.com.
We caught up Author guitarist and
singer Trevor Bartlett to talk shop about
the band’s tour (which will take them to
New Mexico, Colorado, and beyond), their
upcoming record, and their influences.
You’ve got a very distinct style that
seems to ooze through everything you
do. What’s that about?
I’ve been inspired for a long time by
artists that put out full encompassing
projects. Whether that means a really
in-depth lyric booklet and insert or secret
tracks ... I’ve just been always personally
inspired by these well-thought-out ideas. I
want us to look, hopefully, like we sound. I
want it to be very cohesive and to be
very hand-inhand as far as design,
music, content, videos, stuff like
that.
A huge thing that we do on tour
and for our shows is, we like to burn
incense for our shows. Much like any
memory in life, sometimes you can
trigger your memory via smell, so
we like to burn a certain incense at
our show in the hopes that people
will constantly remember our band
through that smell.
What’s your definition of success for
this band?
I would like the band to be fully self-
sustaining financially and I would love to
be able to pay my bills, and I use that very
loosely, but pay my bills from the band. I
would just love to be able to tour four to
eight months out of the year and pay for
my yearly bills.”
Zach Zurn of Carpet Booth Studios
is playing with you guys on this tour.
What’s your connection with that
dude?
I actually grew up in Rochester, I went
to high school in Rochester (at) John
Marshall High School ... I started the
main booking at Midwest Skate Shop
... Zach was going to be in the original
idea of Author, so it was me, my brother
Cameron, and Zach. We were all on board
for this new idea, and then Cameron and
Zach both bailed. I ended up doing it by
myself for a few years, and with different
fill-in members, and then my brother
came back in and it started going quite
a bit quicker again at that point ... We’ve
always wanted, we love our close friends
and we’re very close with Zach, so it’s been
something that we’ve wanted for a long
time.
Some people still recognize me (from
the skate shop) ... It’s so weird. You were
talking about “making it” earlier, and in a
lot of ways, that could’ve been my making
it. I may have, indirectly, inspired some of
these local musicians to play music or to go
to shows or whatever.”
How do you feel about Rochester
nowadays?
I’m pissed. I’m pissed in the nicest
way. I felt like I was really trying to do
this music venue thing. I guess jealous is
a more accurate term. I was really trying
to be a part of what was going to be the
music scene in Rochester and very much
stuff that like Zach is doing now. By the
time Midwest died, I think I was like 19 or
maybe 18. I was way too young to get stuff
going.
Overall, I’m stoked on the future of
Rochester. I think it’s going to be great.
I still think that arguably it might be
another 10 or 15 years before Rochester
really has some serious music and serious
culture. I don’t want to insult anyone
that’s part of it right now - that’s not my
intention. I mostly just mean, having
toured, basically the whole country at
this point, there’s a lot of small towns
that are smaller than Rochester that have
a lot more going on. I think that’s what
Rochester’s going to become. I’m super
thankful there’s stuff like MTMM, Zach
with Carpet Booth. I think that’s really
going to continue to create this local drive
to do music.

It started as a lark, and all of a sudden
20 years have gone by.
The Lost Faculties band, which
was originally formed by teachers
at Kasson-Mantorville schools, will
celebrate with a 20th anniversary party,
“20 Years of Rockin’,” Saturday at Events
by Saker in Kasson.
“This was supposed to be a one-time
deal,” Nathan Davidson, co-founder of
the band, said of Lost Faculties’ first
performance. That was for a 1997 pep
fest at Kasson-Mantorville High School.
“The kids were going to do their air
bands, and four or five of us on staff had
three songs ready to play,” Davidson said.
“We were behind the curtain, and when
we came out, the kids
went nuts.”
As more gigs came
up, the band had to
learn more songs. “It
got to be more fun and
we had to buy more
equipment,” Davidson
said.
He and fellow
teacher Phil Johnson
were the core of the
band. They played
on the Eagles Cancer
Telethon in 1998, and
in 2001 opened for
Peter Noone at Down
by the Riverside in
Rochester. These days,
Davidson is the only
original member, although Johnson will
play at the anniversary party.
The secret to the band’s longevity?
“The name was catchy, and the tunes we
played,” Davidson said. “We’ve always
had people say, ‘I can sing along with
those songs.’”
Whatever the case, Davidson said,
“We’ve lasted twice as long as the
Beatles.”

They don’t just bring the pizza - they bring the movies, too.
D I N I N G I N1 01 1 . 9 . 1 7 M A R C O ’ S P I Z Z A
It was Friday night, payday. I was
alone in my spotless home with
nothing on the TV and no plans to go
out. But my heart grew weary at the
prospect of another lonely evening
spent genre shopping on Netflix. Surely
there’s another way to navigate the great
indoors. Maybe even one where I’d make
some brief contact with another soul?
That’s when I remembered something.
Nestled together at 2040 Viking Dr. NW,
Rochester, Marco’s Pizza and Family
Video have something special going on.
Order a pizza from Marco’s and they’ll
throw in a free DVD rental from Family
Video. If you order another pizza within
five days, they’ll even bring the first DVD
back to the store for you. No one can
challenge the power of pizza and a movie.
Couple that with enabling laziness and
you’ve got an equation for bliss.
I reached for my smartphone and got
ready to party like it was 2001.
The Marco’s online ordering site (1)
is similar to other online pizza ordering
systems. There are several specialty
pizzas to pick from, or you can build a
pie from the ground up (2). Marco’s site
even lets you customize things like how
“well” you want your pizza cooked, the
amount of cheese and sauce, and even
lets you customize how the pizza is cut
(3). They’ve got several crust flavoring
options, and plenty of toppings to add.
Once you’ve created your pizza, the
next phase is movie selection. The in-
store catalog in Family Video includes
some obscure titles, so I put the online
database to the test. I found it mainly
limited to new releases, kind of like a
Redbox. After unsuccessful searches for
“Moonlight,” “Gomorrah,” and “Under
the Skin,” I settled on “Alien: Covenant.”
I hit “submit” and sat down to wait for
my ‘za.
Within an hour, the driver was at my
door, handing me a fresh copy of “Alien”
and a steaming hot pizza-pie.
A pizza place is only as good as its
cheese pizza, so that’s what I tested on
this inagural run: a plain cheese pizza
with classic crust. The crust was airy
and totally chewable, a nice prize for
finishing the cheesy main body. Speaking
of cheese, Marco’s cheese is flavorful and
eminently devourable.
Now, left with an empty pizza box
and a finished movie, it looks like I’ll
be interacting with my Marco’s driver
again soon. Cheese is nice, but I’m after a
pepperoni and pineapple with extra crust
seasoning and 12 slices. Besides, what
kind of chump returns a movie rental to
the store himself these days?
Head over to marcos.com/locations/mn/rochester/viking-drive-nw to try it out.

Begin A New Christmas Tradition Thurs. Nov. 30 @ 7:30pm Mayo Civic Center
What kind of musicians record at your studio? Most people who record want to make a cd. I’ve also helped with recordings for people who just want a few copies for their grandkids or their family. I recently did a recording for a student who is auditioning for a show on NPR. Most of the people who want to record are not looking to market their cds. They are interested in making personal recordings.
What sparked your interest in music? Music skipped a generation in my family. My grandma was a professional musician and piano player, but my parents were not musical. My siblings were not musical, either. We did have a piano in our home, and I was totally enamored with it. Before I was old enough to take lessons, I was making up songs on the piano.
What is a musical group that you didn’t expect to like, but did? RUSH. I heard them when I was younger, and I thought they were horrible, but I just listened them again two years ago, and I felt like I had been missing out on them all my life.
Say something positive about another local musician. Mollie Baker is the worship leader at Autumn Ridge Church. I could listen to her voice every day and never get sick of it.
What do you do after a show? I like to be busy. A lot of musicians are exhausted, but I am energized. The worst thing for me is to go home, watch tv, and then go to bed. Even after church, I am pretty wired.
Any performance quirks? Every time I play, I get nervous. I’ve been playing professionally for 30 years, and even today, I am a wreck the first 10 to 15 minutes of a gig. I am petrified to play in front of people.
Most memorable Rochester gig experience? The first time I ever played at Four Daughters Vineyard and Winery was 10 years ago on New Year’s Eve. They rented a piano for the holiday and offered a seven-course meal. The place was packed. People started requesting songs from me, and one of the requests wasn’t in my repertoire, but I gave it a shot anyway. It was the worst ever. Halfway through I thought to myself, ‘I don’t know how the rest of this goes!’ I just improvised and put a big splash on the end of it. Musicians have nightmares about situations like this!
Kindest words from an audience member? Someone came up after a religious gathering and said to me, ‘The Holy Spirit moves through you as you play.’ I was just speechless. I couldn’t even say thank you to that because it had nothing to do with me.
What musician no longer among the living would you like to meet? Johann Sebastian Bach. He is my hero. Bach is a genius like nobody else.
What is your musical philosophy? Music is as necessary as oxygen to live. Music is so important in the Bible, and it is important to God…At the end of the book of Job, God was recounting how the world was made. God says that the morning stars sang together and shouted for joy. Music was there at the beginning.

If you’re a fan of the Vikings or Gophers
and want to grab a bit to eat or nurse
a cold one while watching the game
with like-minded folks, there are lots of
places in Rochester where you can do
that.
But what if you are a devotee of some
other team? Sure, you could put on your
Aaron Rodgers or Ben Roethlisberger
jersey and go somewhere with a dozen TVs
where they’ll turn one on for you.
But what if you want to high-five
a fellow fan after your team scores or
intercepts a pass? What about shouting
loudly about the apparent blindness of a
referee after a horrible call?
Depending on who you’re rooting for,
there might be a fanbase you can tap into.
Whistle Binkies on the Lake, Brothers
Bar and Grill, and the Thirsty Belgian
all report that they get groups of Green
Bay Packers fans regularly at their
establishments. Brothers and the Belgian,
in fact, are on the Packers Everywhere
website, where supporters of the green
and gold can look for bars sanctioned as
gathering places for their team.
“It’s a party every time they play,”
said Juli Carisch, co-owner of the Thirsty
Belgian.
Brothers is also an official Nebraska
Cornhuskers Headquarters location.
As such, they offer game-day specials
on beer, Bloody Marys, and appetizers.
“We get some long-term clinic patients
who might be in town the whole football
season,” said Rich Fulton of Brothers.
As for other teams:
• Binkies on the Lake gets a lot of fans
for the Washington NFL team.
• Dooley’s reports a lot of college fans
gathering there, especially Wisconsin and
North Dakota State.
• Iowa Hawkeyes fans have been
known to huddle up at Fat Willy’s.
• Gophers fans: Binkies on the Lake
has a regular group that meets there, and
LTS Brewery is listed by the Rochester
Area Alumni and Friends Network as a
spot for watching away games together.

Looking for ways to give back this
holiday season? Clear out your closet and
give those old coats a new life at one of
these local donation events.
WARMING UP THE COMMUNITYFor one week, The Salon Professional
Academy has partnered with nonprofit One
Warm Coat to collect gently worn winter
outerwear. The event began on Monday,
Nov. 6 and will continue through Friday,
Nov. 10. Bring your scarves, hats, gloves,
boots, and coats to the Academy, 4229 US
52, Rochester, until 5 p.m. on Thursday, or
between 8:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Alexandria Kvenvold, assistant director
of operations for TSPA, said the Academy
has teamed up with Christmas Anonymous
to distribute the clothing to families in
need. They hope to collect 200 pieces
of winter wear and $200 in donations,
Kvenvold said.
From 3 to 7:30 on Friday, the Academy
will hold a “thank-you festival” for donors
with hot chocolate and cider, a bounce
house, s’mores, and face-painting.
Donations will still be accepted at the
festival. “Bring what you can, but it’s
really just there as a thank-you for those
who donated,” Kvenvold said. “Or for
those who might be receiving the
coats - if they want to come and
enjoy some hot cider, they’re of
course welcome.”
COAT COLLECTIONAbe Sauer of Old Abe Coffee Co. is
trading coffee for clothing in his store on
7th St. NW. Bring in any winter gear for
children or teenagers, and you’ll receive a
free coffee in exchange.
The clothing goes straight from the
coffee shop to Gage Elementary, where
it’s passed out to families in need, Sauer
said. He partnered with local yoga
instructor Rosei Skipper, who volunteers
at the Empowerment Center at Gage East
Apartments, to begin the drive.
Lightly used winter clothing for children
ages two to five is especially welcome, as are
teenage-sized coats and gear, and unused
undergarments in original packaging.
“We sent out a huge load (last week),”
Sauer said. “We had a bunch of fleece
pajama sleepers that I know are needed.”
The donation box is open any time the
shop is, Sauer said, and will continue “until
someone tells me to stop.”
“Anything helps,” he said. “We’re just
happy to get it.”
TREE OF KINDNESSThe United Way is also collecting new
and gently-used coats, hats, scarves, socks,
mittens, etc. to distribute in Olmsted
County. Several area businesses have
“Kindness Trees” up until tomorrow, Nov.
10, where you can bring your donations.
Donated items will be distributed
to the Salvation Army and Rochester
Community Schools. Drop off items at
MBT Bank, People’s Food Co-op, Pure Barre
Fitness, Minnesota Children’s Museum of
Rochester, Primp Boutique, and United
Way.

F L I C K S1 41 1 . 9 . 1 7 T H O R : R AG N A R O C K
One of the many surprising delights in
“Thor: Ragnarok” is the recasting of the God of
Thunder as a perpetual underdog.
Of course the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), who
becomes Thor’s buddy-movie sidekick this
time around, dwarfs the muscle-laden pride of
Asgard (Chris Hemsworth, terrific and self-
deprecating).
Thor looks even tinier compared to Surtur’s
menacing dragon creature. That beast could
swallow our guy whole and not even burp.
Nor is Thor remotely close to being the
baddest warrior in this movie. He’s at best an
even match against the Hulk; he butts heads
with a former Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) who
is at least his equal in hand-to-god combat,
and he doesn’t stand a chance in a one-on-one
face-off with his older sister, the evil and all-
powerful Hela, aka the Goddess of Death (Cate
Blanchett).
Oh, and Thor is also at the mercy of Jeff
Goldblum’s Grandmaster, the ruthless and
absolutely stark raving mad ruler of Sakaar,
where hedonism is fueled by slave labor.
Grandmaster is practically immortal. He’s like
14 billion years old. He treats Thor like a puppy
dog.
There’s a LOT going on and much of it
is goofy and campy and marvelously self-
referential.
“Ragnarok” begins with Thor saying
goodbye to his father, Odin (Anthony Hopkins),
shortly after reuniting with brother Loki (Tom
Hiddleston), who isn’t dead after all because
Tom Hiddleston is far too fantastic playing Loki
for the Marvel movie universe to really and
truly kill off Loki.
Loki and Thor have gone through more
estrangements and reconciliations and betrayals
and rinses and repeats than sibling characters
on a 1980s daytime soap opera. Thor even
points out the act is getting old, and he’s got to
stop falling for Loki’s sincerity act only to get
the rug pulled out from under him once again.
For a while, the boys DO team up – against
their sister Hela, a vicious and casually
murderous goddess who costumes it up like
vintage Vegas Cher and speaks in grand tones,
as if Shakespeare had written her lines.
As the boys soon learn, Hela is infinitely
more powerful than the two of them combined.
So while Hela returns to Asgard and begins to
slaughter any rebellious soldiers or civilians,
Thor and Loki set out on a quest to ... Well, each
has his own goals, and sometimes those goals
put the brothers at odds again.
Cate Blanchett is as great as you’d expect
her to be playing Hela, who is actually kind of
sad and tragic. Her brothers didn’t even know
of her existence until recently, and that really
irks her, and she doesn’t have any real friends
save for the giant zombie warrior dudes she
recently resurrected from the grave, and even
if she assumes her rightful place on the throne
in Asgard, where’s the fun in that if everyone is
dead or in chains?
At least Grandmaster loves his work.
(And nobody does a better Jeff Goldblum
impersonation than Jeff Goldblum. He’s flat-
out hilarious as the crazed but always upbeat
dictator.)
Screenwriters Craig Kyle, Christopher Yost
and Eric Pearson, and director Taika Waititi also
came up with a clever way to make the Hulk
more interesting. For two years running, we
learn, it’s been all Hulk, no Bruce Banner – but a
slight trace of Banner’s wit and personality has
managed to work its way into the Hulk’s DNA.
Hulk now funny.
Tessa Thompson makes for a badass fallen
Valkyrie, Idris Elba is perfectly cast as the
selfless and fearless Heimdall, and Karl Urban
has a couple of shining moments as Skurge,
whose survival instincts clash with the instincts
of his better self.
What an outstanding cast. They all came to
play.
The only thing I enjoyed more than the
comedy in “Thor: Ragnarok” was a climactic
battle sequence synced perfectly to Led
Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song.”
“The hammer of the gods
“We’ll drive our ships to new lands
“To fight the horde, and sing and cry
“Valhalla, I am coming!”
Damn straight.
Bright and brassy and wonderfully funny

NEW LOCATION!VISIT OUR BEAUTIFUL
NEXT TO HY-VEE SOUTH!
Bad Moms Christmas (R, 101 min.) H H H H Where to go in the sequel to the thoroughly enjoyable “Bad Moms”? Bring on Cheryl Hines, Christine Baranski, and Susan Sarandon as the bad moms of the Bad Moms! Unfortunately, the inept and lazy and uninspired new movie can’t be bothered with simple things like keeping track of characters or being faithful to the events of the original.
Only the Brave (PG-13, 133 min.) H H H H This profile of firefighters who risked their lives to battle monstrous blazes in the Southwest plays like a classic military story about soldiers from various walks of life who bond as brothers. They’re a plausible and likable bunch, thanks to a slow build of their back stories, not to mention the outstanding cast headed by Josh Brolin and Jeff Bridges.
Thank You For Your Service (R, 109 min.) H H H H H Along with a number of memorable supporting players, Miles Teller is heartbreakingly effective as a U.S. sergeant returning from his third deployment to Iraq with his limbs intact but a fragile mind and psyche. This is a movie about the horrors of war and the extremely difficult and sometimes insurmountable challenges faced by the young soldiers after the fighting has ended and they’re back home.
Geostorm (PG-13, 109 min.) A system built to protect the earth from natural disasters has gone haywire and is attacking the world it was meant to save. It’s a race against time to uncover the threat before a worldwide geostorm destroys everything and everyone.
The Foreigner (R, 114 min.) When his daughter is killed in an act of political terrorism, a humble London businessman with a buried past goes in search of justice. A game of cat and mouse begins with a government official, whose own past may hold a clue to the identity of the killers.
Blade Runner 2049 (R, 163 min.) H H H H H The tight control of Ryan Gosling makes him the perfect choice to play a replicant cop that just might be human. This vibrant, gorgeous, and occasionally incomprehensible hallucinatory epic stands with the likes of “The Godfather Part II” as a sequel worthy of the original classic.
Kingsman: The Golden Circle (R, 142 min.) H H H H One Academy Award winner after another play cartoonish cardboard characters spouting ridiculous and often painfully unfunny dialogue. If you liked the original “Kingsman,” the best way to preserve that memory is to stay away from this bigger, louder sequel.
Lego Ninjago Movie (PG, 101 min.) Shunned for being the son of an evil warlord, one teenager seeks to defeat his father with the help of his fellow ninjas.
The Mountain Between Us (PG-13, 109 min.) H H H H When it’s just a tedious and corny survival story, “The Mountain Between Us” is at least bearable, thanks mainly to the all-in performances from Kate Winslet and Idris Elba as strangers trying to remain alive in an unforgiving, icy wilderness. They butt heads and make up so many times you almost start rooting for the elements to win out, just so these two would shut up.
Murder on the Orient Express (PG-13, 114 min.)
Daddy’s Home 2 (PG-13, 100 min.)
