Movie Review

‘Borrowers’ tale ‘Arrietty’ has warm charm

By DAVID GERMAINAP Movie Writer

Considering the eccen-tric, almost psychedelic fantasy worlds created in Japanese animation master Hayao Miyazaki’s tales, a story of tiny people living beneath the floorboards of a house seems almost nor-mal.

“The Secret World of Arrietty,” from Miyaza-ki’s Studio Ghibli, also is a pleasant antidote to the siege mentality of so many Hollywood cartoons, whose makers aim to oc-cupy every instant of the audience’s attention with an assault of noise and im-ages.

Slow, stately, gentle and meditative, “Arrietty” nev-ertheless is a marvel of im-age and color, its old-fash-ioned pen-and-ink frames vividly bringing to life the world of children’s author Mary Norton’s “The Bor-rowers.”

Already a hit in Japan, “Arrietty” has undergone the typically classy Eng-lish-language transforma-tion that Disney renders to Studio Ghibli’s films, among them Miyazaki’s Academy Award-winning “Spirited Away.”

What U.S. audiences get is a hybrid — the grandly fluid picture-book imag-

ery of first-time feature director Hiromasa Yone-bayashi, a veteran Studio Ghibli animator, merged with an English-language rendering of Miyazaki’s screenplay, Oscar-win-ning sound designer Gary Rydstrom directing a Hol-lywood voice cast that in-cludes Carol Burnett, Amy Poehler and Will Arnett.

Previously adapted in the 1997 live-action slapstick comedy “The Borrowers,” Norton’s stories follow the adventures of a family of teeny people who live off things scavenged from na-ture or from the oversized human world that’s un-aware of the existence of this miniature race.

Spirited 14-year-old Ar-rietty (voiced by Bridgit

Mendler, star of Disney Channel’s “Good Luck Charlie”) lives with her mom and dad (real-life couple Poehler and Arnett) and is about to join in on her first borrowing expedi-tion to fetch back supplies from the “human beans” living upstairs.

Yet Arrietty violates the rules — she’s seen by Shawn (David Henrie of Disney Channel’s “Wiz-ards of Waverly Place”), a sickly youth who has come to stay in the country with his aunt.

What could turn into boy-meets-girl, boy-squashes-girl-like-a-bug instead becomes a sweet, chaste, sort-of first love story. Arrietty sheds her inbred borrower’s fear of

humans, and Shawn proves a tender soul who under-stands the fragile existence of his small friend and her kind, doing what he can to help.

The filmmakers inject a bit of tension and some laughs through busybody housekeeper Haru (voiced with joyful, gradually in-creasing lunacy by Bur-nett), who sets out to cap-ture the borrowers for her

own mad purposes.The women of “Arriet-

ty” definitely get the good parts. Mendler plays the title role with vivacity and a spirit of wonder, while Poehler manages nice laughs with her squawky, frantic vocals. Henrie and Arnett, on the other hand, are vocal rocks, solid but impassive, inexpressive. Arnett applies the same deadpan voice he uses to

great comic result in live-action roles, but the effect falls flat without his own almost-smirking poker face to go along.

The movie also overdoses on sweetener with its sac-charine theme songs — one co-written and performed by Cecile Corbel, one written and performed by Mendler.

The warm simplicity of the story and the clever-ness and artistry of the animation make up for any vocal shortcomings, though.

It’s delightful, the ways the borrowers make essen-tial tools out of found ob-jects we take for granted — a leaf as an umbrella, nails to create stairs or staples to build ladders, strips of duct tape to help scale walls.

The wonder the film re-veals in the mundane is what makes “The Secret World of Arrietty” such a fantastic place to visit.

“The Secret World of Ar-rietty,” a Disney release, is rated G. Running time: 94 minutes. Three stars out of four.

“Arrietty” is a marvel of image and color, its old-fashioned pen-and-ink frames vividly bringing to life the world of “the Borrowers.”

Movie Review

BY NAOMI CREASONSENTiNEL [email protected]

Even with all of the ex-plosions, choreographed fight scenes and far too accurate gun shots, the most absurd thing about “This Means War” is that it expects you to agree that a woman who has doubled up on men should somehow feel betrayed by their dishonesty.

With any movie, es-pecially romantic com-edies, there’s an amount of disbelief you have to set aside in order to en-joy a movie. But even if you ignore the preposter-ousness of two CIA spies fighting over a pretty un-remarkable woman, there still isn’t much to enjoy about “This Means War.”

The movie is directed by McG (who did both “Charlie’s Angels” movies and “Terminator Salva-tion”) and centers around a woman who has trouble choosing the right guy from two men, who also happen to be best friends and partners at the CIA field office in Los Angeles.

Love triangles are a fa-vorite cliche in the ro-mantic comedy genre, and “This Means War” tried to do something a little dif-ferent by adding the spy

element and establishing a friendship between the two men. However, with a story involving each spy loving the woman, the woman loving each of the spies and the spies kind of in love with each other (they profess their love to each other more often than to her), there are a lot of relationships the movie needed to establish.

And, unfortunately for the movie, the relation-ships that fall through in convincing the audience are the ones that involve the woman.

There was quite a bit of work done to make t h e a u d i e n c e b e l i eve that these two spies re-ally would take a bul-let for each other, and it helps that the spies were played by Chris Pine and Tom Hardy. Even though neither had much to work with, you get a sense of each of their characters’ personalities and their desire to help each other out.

But their friendship is so effective that the lead-ing lady, played by Re-ese Witherspoon, ends

up being the throwaway character. You don’t get a feeling of what she wants or why either of the men seemingly fall head over heels for her so quickly.

Wi t h e rs p o o n p re t ty much spends the entire movie overshadowed by the advice and antics of her best friend (Chelsea Handler) and by the in-teraction between the two friends.

In the end, it doesn’t really matter which man she chooses, because I stopped caring about her character almost 30 min-

utes into the movie.The main appeal of

“This Means War” lies in how the spies track her and each other. So enjoy-ing “This Means War” is kind of dependent on how freaked out you get by the invasion of privacy going on in this film.

On one hand, the spy work is pretty creative, and there was one excel-lent tracking shot of each of the two men taking turns sneaking into her house and planting mon-itoring devices while she sings Montell Jordan’s

“This is How We Do It” and makes popcorn, ig-norant of what’s being done around her.

O n t h e o t h e r h a n d , watching each of them hide in her field of vi-sion in a very horror-movie sort of way while also taking notes of all of her conversations and background information is a step too far, even for jokes.

“ T h i s M e a n s Wa r ” works better as a com-edy or action flick but doesn’t really produce much on the romance front, unless you include

the bromance. The movie starts out promising but ends too neatly wrapped up.

I’m still not sure why the last decision was made, and the spy thrill-er fan in me keeps bring-ing up the point that if you’re a spy and your cover is blown, you can’t really go back to being a spy.

It might be worth a short laugh on DVD but certainly not the ticket costs when it opens in wide release this Friday.

‘This Means War’ fights a losing battleThe love

triangle in “This Means War” is difficult enough to pull off, but the movie makes little effort to make it work.

Last weekend, I went to Philadelphia to hear Proj-ect Trio, a chamber mu-sic ensemble hailing from Brooklyn. Flutist Greg Pa-tillo, the beatbox flutist of YouTube fame, is a part of this group.

Full of energy and joy, they were a lot of fun to watch.

With every member from a classical background, the trio combines classical, jazz and hip hop influences to create a soundscape that enchants and energizes the listener. Playing strictly from memory, it was as if I were watching them per-form a set in a club instead

of a concert in a small hall packed with other flutists.

In one word, it was cool, and it inspired me to think more about playing outside the lines.

Prior to the concert, Greg Patillo gave a workshop on beatbox flute techniques. This technique treats the flute like a rhythm instru-ment, unlike the melodic

aspect of classical flute.No matter where you

find your inspiration, the kind of musical risk-taking that has become a recipe for Project Trio’s success can inspire your own lis-tening. There are a couple of concerts happening this weekend that will encour-age your creative risk-tak-ing.

On Friday at 7:30 p.m., the Millersville Univer-sity Jazz Ensemble will perform with guest art-ists of the U.S. Army Jazz Ambassadors as part of the Millersville Univer-sity Jazz Symposium. This free concert will be held at

Steinman Hall in The Ware Center on campus in Lan-caster.

Closer to home, horn player Tyler Ogilvie and pianist Eun Ae Baik-Kim will present “tyvie/music: Music for Horn, Electron-ics and Visual Multime-dia” on Saturday at 7 p.m. in Rubendall Recital Hall, Weiss Center for the Arts, at Dickinson College. Also free, this concert will ex-plore the integration of technology with tradition-al music.

No matter what you do in life, play outside the lines. Music is a great tool to help you get there.

Living legendBy Allison HAgermAnSENTINEL [email protected]

Not many people can be called a “living legend,” but Otis Williams is definitely one of the few.

The last original member of the music group “The Temptations” still living, Williams is continuing to sing his way into the hearts of millions of people world-wide.

On Thursday, Feb. 23, Williams and the current “Temptations” will perform at the H. Ric Luhrs Per-forming Arts Center on the Shippensburg University campus at 8 p.m.

But despite Williams’ fame with “The Tempta-tions” and the group’s many hits over the years, includ-ing “My Girl” and “I Can’t Get Next You,” he remains thankful about where his career has taken him.

Born on Oct. 30, 1941, in Texarkana, Texas, Williams said he was only a “little shorty doo-wop in Texas” when he began singing in church. Otis’ mother later took him to Detroit to live with her and his stepfather. It was there that Williams saw rock and roll shows coming to the Fox Theatre, including Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers.

Williams said that when he saw Lymon and the “control” he had on more than 5,000 people at a con-cert, he said “that’s what I want to do.”

Williams would later be-come part of a singing group called “The Distants,” who recorded “Come On/Al-ways” on Specialty Records

in 1959.“The Distants” would lat-

er reorganize, calling them-selves “The Elgins,” and au-dition for record producer Berry Gordy in 1960. Gordy signed them, but the group was asked to change their name.

“The Temptations,” most notably consisting of the “classic five” of Otis Wil-liams, Melvin Franklin, Paul Williams, Eddie Kendricks and David Ruffin, were born.

In 1964, “The Way You Do The Things You Do” made No. 11 on the Top 20 list, with “My Girl” taking No. 1 in 1965 and selling more than a million copies.

Williams said “My Girl” is still his favorite “Tempta-tions” song to this day, since it is basically the group’s “anthem.”

But how was it for him when he first heard his sing-

ing on the radio?“It was exhilarating,” Wil-

liams said. “It was a won-derful feeling and it still is today.”

One particular event that Williams remembers took place in Mississippi, when Archie Manning was the quarterback at the Univer-sity of Mississippi. Several black fans were ignoring their assigned seat numbers on their tickets at a concert, because everyone wanted to sit close to the stage to see the group, Williams said.

When the white ticket-holders came to the front looking for their seats, a fight nearly broke out be-tween black and white fans.

It was Williams and fel-low “Temptations” member Eddie Kendricks who went onstage and asked people to take their rightful seats. And they did.

Williams said it was

amazing that as just “up-start entertainers,” the fans “listened to them” and they “stopped a possible fight.”

“Music. It transcends barriers,” Williams said.

No matter what the group’s power over fans, Williams said he still gets nervous before shows though, even after decades on the stage.

“You never get complacent and take it for granted,” Wil-liams said, noting that the group is left alone to men-tally prepare before shows.

And “The Temptations,” now made up of Williams, Ron Tyson, Terry Weeks, Joe Herndon and Bruce Williamson, still do a lot of shows. Or in Williams’ words, they are “busier than a blind dog in a meat mar-ket.”

That’s part of what has kept Williams going over the years.

“I love it. When you sum it up, I enjoy it. I’m enjoying it still,” he said.

When asked what it feels like to have molded the face of the music industry, Wil-

liams was humble.“It’s a great feeling,” he

said. “Man, I never would imagine that when we start-ed singing. It’s great.”

And more is still in store for Williams and “The Temptations.”

Some considerations are being given to taking the story of “The Temptations” to Broadway, he said.

“That’s the amazing thing about show business. You never know what may hap-pen,” Williams said. “You know, the sky’s the limit.”

Book Review

‘A Wrinkle In Time’ still has relevanceBy lAuren mclAneSENTINEL [email protected]

“It was a dark and stormy night.”

Those cliched words, so often used humorously, are the opening salvo in Mad-eleine L’Engle’s seminal novel, “A Wrinkle In Time.” Published 50 years ago this week, the science fantasy novel is no less relevant in 2012 as it was in 1962.

The protagonist of the story — and the hero-ine I most identified with as a child, because she, too, wore braces and thick glasses — is Margaret “Meg” Murray, a brilliant but socially awkward teen-ager.

Despite having a beyond-genius-level IQ, Meg is in the lowest section of her grade. She can’t stay out of trouble. She picks fights to make herself feel better and to defend her “dumb baby brother,” Charles Wallace.

In the isolated village where the Murrays live, people don’t like what they don’t understand. In fact it scares them, and the Mur-rays are mysterious at least.

Drs. Kate and Alex Mur-ray are scientists — brilliant ones, who are working on things as vast as the whole universe and as tiny as the mitochondria inside a cell. Their oldest and youngest children inherited that bril-liance and share between them an uncommon bond. Meg and Charles Wallace can “kythe.” That is, they can communicate tele-pathically, Charles Wallace more so than Meg.

“It was his mother’s mind — and Meg’s — that he probed with frightening accuracy,” L’Engle writes.

When the book opens, Dr. Alex Murray has been missing for months. The

village assumes he’s run off, leaving his beautiful young wife and four children for another life. Meg doesn’t believe that.

TesseractNeither, it turns out,

does Charles Wallace, who has befriended three local guardian angels (masquer-ading as batty old women), Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Which and Mrs. Who.

Mrs. Whatsit pays a visit to the Murray house, and after drying off, she rather matter-of-factly says to Dr. Kate Murray, “Speaking of way, by the way, there is such a thing as a tesseract.” Such a seemingly innocu-ous and non-sensical state-ment catches Kate off guard and clearly startles her.

Her children, seeing her reaction, ask what a tesser-act is.

It’s a wrinkle in time — the shortest distance be-tween two points.

The next day, Meg and Charles Wallace — accom-panied by Meg’s school-mate Calvin O’Keefe — set off on what Charles Wal-lace says is a mission to save their father.

Alex Murray, it tran-spires, is being held cap-tive on Camazotz, a planet subject to group mind. Alex Murray refused to submit to the group mind think, and when the children find him, he is imprisoned in a column of what looks like glass. One they free him, he “tessers” them away from the planet.

Charles Wallace, howev-er, is left behind, under the control of IT, the evil brain (literally, actually — it’s just a brain in a jar) having taken control of him telepathi-cally.

The tessering through The Black Thing — which is the embodiment of pure

evil — almost kills Meg. On the planet Ixchel, Meg is given to understand that The Black Thing is all the evil ever in creation. It has been fought by people who have done good and worked for world peace and been helped by people who have done evil. It is what her fa-ther was fighting with his study of tessering and tes-seracts.

The life beings on Ixchel, one of whom Meg dubs Aunt Beast, nurse Meg back to health. Knowing that Charles Wallace is still there, still under threat, Meg demands that they re-turn for him, even though going through The Black Thing could kill her.

Once back on Camazotz, Meg faces IT, prepared to die if need be, to save her beloved baby brother. She

has been told by Mrs. Who that she has something IT doesn’t have. As she thinks about that, the possessed Charles Wallace reads her mind through their kythe connection and tells her she’s wrong, that there is nothing IT doesn’t have.

Her heart hurts, think-ing about how much she loves Charles Wallace, and she feels IT flinch through Charles Wallace. In a blind-ing flash of insight, she re-alizes that what IT doesn’t have is love — and what’s more IT can’t stand the hu-man emotion of love.

So Meg loves Charles Wallace. Tears streaming down her face, she loves her baby brother with all her heart, pulling him free of IT’s mind control. Mrs. Who tessers them back to Alex Murray and Calvin,

and from there to their home.

ThemesL’Engle’s works, much

like those of C.S. Lewis, are deeply influenced by her Christian viewpoint. When the children are asked to name historical figures who did good things to fight evil, the first name they come up with is Jesus. The idea of good fighting evil through love is found in several places in the scriptures, and the scriptures themselves are quoted several times.

Most notably is a quote from 1 Corinthians from which the book’s final chapter derives its title. Mrs Who advises Meg, “The foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weak-ness of God is stronger than men. For ye see your call-ing, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called, but God hath chosen the fool-ish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to con-found the things which are mighty....” — 1 Corinthians 1:25–28.

Interestingly, the book is too Christian for main-stream audiences, but too secular for Christian au-diences. It is frequently challenged by conservative Christian groups that object to the idea of crystal balls (used by the Happy Medi-um in an effort to foretell the future if Alex Murray isn’t rescued), aliens, alter-nate universes, and witches (though Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Which and Mrs. Who aren’t witches).

effectA nyo n e wh o ’s rea d

any other science fantasy (ahem, Harry Potter) will

recognize the influence L’Engle wielded on the genre. It was her idea that love could conquer evil, that love was an inherently magical creation — an idea J.K. Rowling took and ex-panded on in her seven-book series.

This is the first book in what was originally a trilo-gy and ultimately became a quintet. The first three - “A Wrinkle In Time,” “A Wind In the Door” and “A Swiftly Tilting Planet” — are by far the best science fanta-sy novels I have ever read. Though written 50 years ago, their overall themes are still relevant today.

In “Planet,” the idea of mutually assured nuclear destruction from a malevo-lent despot in a tiny coun-try is examined — anyone see any parallels today?

Unlike a lot of science fic-tion or fantasy or science fantasy novels, which con-tain hard-to-follow plot points and hard-to-believe gadgetry and technology, L’Engle’s novels are re-freshingly easy to follow.

The themes of the novel aren’t the fancy tools the characters use to get where they’re going — tessering to another galaxy, going through the eye of a cheru-bim to the mitochondria of Charles Wallace, traveling through time with a unicorn to change the what-might-have-been that resulted in a malevolent dictator with a nuclear weapon — than what they do once they’re there — save the world, save the world and oh, save the world.

But unlike Harry Potter, the characters have no spe-cial powers — for the most part, they’re not magical, they’re ordinary people do-ing extraordinary things.

For a 20-year-old who started doing theater less than seven years ago, Tyler Wonders has an extensive resume.

Among other productions, he did three high-school shows, including “The Mu-sic Man”; assistant-directs and produces musicals at Big Spring High School, which this year will be per-forming “Into the Woods”; and did a staged reading for an off-Broadway play of a friend.

Wonders, a junior at Ship-pensburg University minor-ing in theater, was also in Carlisle Theater Company’s “Guys and Dolls” and the male lead in “Beauty and the Beast.”

Much as he’s enjoyed ev-erything he’s done, there’s a special place in his heart for “Seussical,” a musical by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty based on the books of Dr. Seuss. This is the third time Wonders is playing Horton, the Elephant — the play’s protagonist.

“I’ve had offers to do the show even more, but couldn’t because of sched-

ule conflicts,” Wonders says. “In high school I knew nothing about it (before au-ditions), and when I saw the cast list, I thought to myself, I really don’t want to be the elephant.”

Rehearsals changed his mind.

“Horton is a sensitive and caring creature to all, and that is what I try to be,” he says. “Besides, this is a kid’s show, and any time an ac-tor performs for children, it is amazing. I love the mu-sic, especially ‘Alone in the Universe,’ which Horton and Jojo (the Mayor’s son in the Town of Who) sing to-gether.”

The Jojo of the CTC pro-duction, Emily Reusswig, is also a “Seussical” vet-eran. The East Pennsboro Middle School fifth-grader has played the role before at Oyster Mill Playhouse.

“Jojo is a really fun part,” says the 11-year-old. “He likes to think a lot and has a wild imagination. I was really excited when Dustin asked me to play it again.”

“Dustin” is Dustin LeB-lanc, artistic director of the Carlisle Theatre Company, the all-age resident com-munity-theater group at the Carlisle Theatre.

CTC is not performing the full 2000 Broadway musi-cal, nor “Seussical, Jr.,” but

rather a one-act theater-for-young-audiences ver-

sion that is shorter than the original. It leaves out a few songs and eliminates the military theme.

First done in 2004, this version of the musical also reduces the cast to 12, al-though CTC’s production has two more.

“Ours is a 75-minute run that has the main story line,” says LeBlanc, who is directing.

CTC’s first show of the 2012 season, “Seussi-cal” is being presented to school field trips as part of the Read Across America Weekend — not coinciden-tally, close to the birthday of Dr. Seuss (pen name of Theodore Seuss Geisel) on March 2.

There are also two public performances of the show, which derives primar-ily from two Seuss books, “Horton Hears a Who!” and “Horton Hatches the Egg.”

The cast of the CTC show is composed of college-age students and adults — ex-cept for Emily. It is targeted for young people but, of course, audiences of all ages are welcome.

“Young children are ex-cited to see the book char-acters they know, and older kids get the message more,”

says LeBlanc.Among them is the ac-

ceptance of difference.As veteran Reusswig says,

“It’s so cool when an au-dience enjoys a show, and ‘Seussical’ is a silly and fun show.”

Also in the cast are the director, playing Cat in the Hat; Lindsay Bretz-Mor-gan; Stephanie Walsh; Sam Eisenhuth; Abbie Ricker, Greg Athanasatos; Cur-tis Scotto; Dominick Arp; Christine Porter; and Robyn Thompson.

Art Thompson is music director, and two students from Dickinson College, Andrea Englert and Alisha Falberg, are serving as cho-reographic assistants and are in the cast.

LOS ANGELES — Bra-vado is a familiar part of William Shatner’s image and his acting portfolio, whether he’s in character as James T. Kirk, Denny Crane or the Negotiator TV pitchman.

Even the title of the one-

man show he’s bringing to Broadway this week — “Shatner’s World: We Just Live in It” — has moxie to spare. So it’s surprising, even endearing, that Shat-ner admits to his version of stage fright.

“My fears are not the primitive, ‘I’m afraid I can’t talk’ kind of fear that young actors have. Mine is,

‘I’m afraid the ticket sales won’t go,’” he said recently in his memento-decorated office before heading to New York for the play’s Thursday opening.

Another worry, and this is a big one: that audi-ences will prove tougher to impress than they were in Australia and Canada, where he toured with an early incarnation of the show. Shatner was last on Broadway in the 1961-62 production of “A Shot in the Dark,” starring Julie

Harris and Walter Mat-thau.

“I feel New York is held to a higher standard than anyplace else,” he said. “I’m anxious to see how the New York audience will accept me.”

His qualms weren’t enough to make him skirt the Big Apple before he starts a monthlong, 15-city U.S. tour. Instead, he reas-sessed the material cover-ing his career, his life and

life in general. The show, directed by Scott Faris, runs through March 4 at the Mu-sic Box Theatre.

“I began seriously look-ing at the stories I told and trying to pare down to a minimum number of words

to convey the meaning,” he said. “In a way, it’s very stark and dramatic to do that, but you have to select those words judiciously.”

He’s also ditched the orig-inal production’s onstage interviewer. Shatner real-ized he didn’t need a nudge to keep the story moving.

So what tales does he tell? He rattles them off: “I talk about death and I talk about love and horses and motor-cycles. I talk about comedy and I talk about some of the things people want to hear about, ‘Star Trek’ and all.”

Nearing his 81st birth-day on March 22, Shatner

has much to discuss, in-cluding how he remains astoundingly energetic and far younger than his years in appearance (all his hair!), voice (still commandingly Kirk-like!) and quick wit (he loves puns!).

“It’s probably good ge-netic structure,” he of-

fered. There’s also a daily swimming-pool workout and, most importantly, the equestrian life he shares with his wife, Elizabeth, a former horse trainer.

“Horses and exercise and a loving life,” Shatner said. When he’s in Los Angeles, he fits in three to four hours

of riding at a stable north of the city to compete in various events.

“I’ve won championships against kids who are 18 and born on a horse,” he said.

How satisfying is that? “Be-yond belief,” he replied. “I’d rather get a belt buckle (prize) than an Oscar,” said Shatner.

man show he’s bringing to Broadway this week — “Shatner’s World: We Just Live in It” — has moxie to spare. So it’s surprising, even endearing, that Shat-ner admits to his version of stage fright.

“My fears are not the primitive, ‘I’m afraid I can’t talk’ kind of fear that young actors have. Mine is,

‘I’m afraid the ticket sales won’t go,’” he said recently in his memento-decorated office before heading to New York for the play’s Thursday opening.

Another worry, and this is a big one: that audi-ences will prove tougher to impress than they were in Australia and Canada, where he toured with an early incarnation of the show. Shatner was last on Broadway in the 1961-62 production of “A Shot in the Dark,” starring Julie

Harris and Walter Mat-thau.

“I feel New York is held to a higher standard than anyplace else,” he said. “I’m anxious to see how the New York audience will accept me.”

His qualms weren’t enough to make him skirt the Big Apple before he starts a monthlong, 15-city U.S. tour. Instead, he reas-sessed the material cover-ing his career, his life and

life in general. The show, directed by Scott Faris, runs through March 4 at the Mu-sic Box Theatre.

“I began seriously look-ing at the stories I told and trying to pare down to a minimum number of words

to convey the meaning,” he said. “In a way, it’s very stark and dramatic to do that, but you have to select those words judiciously.”

He’s also ditched the orig-inal production’s onstage interviewer. Shatner real-ized he didn’t need a nudge to keep the story moving.

So what tales does he tell? He rattles them off: “I talk about death and I talk about love and horses and motor-cycles. I talk about comedy and I talk about some of the things people want to hear about, ‘Star Trek’ and all.”

Nearing his 81st birth-day on March 22, Shatner

has much to discuss, in-cluding how he remains astoundingly energetic and far younger than his years in appearance (all his hair!), voice (still commandingly Kirk-like!) and quick wit (he loves puns!).

“It’s probably good ge-netic structure,” he of-

fered. There’s also a daily swimming-pool workout and, most importantly, the equestrian life he shares with his wife, Elizabeth, a former horse trainer.

“Horses and exercise and a loving life,” Shatner said. When he’s in Los Angeles, he fits in three to four hours

of riding at a stable north of the city to compete in various events.

“I’ve won championships against kids who are 18 and born on a horse,” he said.

How satisfying is that? “Be-yond belief,” he replied. “I’d rather get a belt buckle (prize) than an Oscar,” said Shatner.

Living legendBy Allison HAgermAnSENTINEL [email protected]

Not many people can be called a “living legend,” but Otis Williams is definitely one of the few.

The last original member of the music group “The Temptations” still living, Williams is continuing to sing his way into the hearts of millions of people world-wide.

On Thursday, Feb. 23, Williams and the current “Temptations” will perform at the H. Ric Luhrs Per-forming Arts Center on the Shippensburg University campus at 8 p.m.

But despite Williams’ fame with “The Tempta-tions” and the group’s many hits over the years, includ-ing “My Girl” and “I Can’t Get Next You,” he remains thankful about where his career has taken him.

Born on Oct. 30, 1941, in Texarkana, Texas, Williams said he was only a “little shorty doo-wop in Texas” when he began singing in church. Otis’ mother later took him to Detroit to live with her and his stepfather. It was there that Williams saw rock and roll shows coming to the Fox Theatre, including Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers.

Williams said that when he saw Lymon and the “control” he had on more than 5,000 people at a con-cert, he said “that’s what I want to do.”

Williams would later be-come part of a singing group called “The Distants,” who recorded “Come On/Al-ways” on Specialty Records

in 1959.“The Distants” would lat-

er reorganize, calling them-selves “The Elgins,” and au-dition for record producer Berry Gordy in 1960. Gordy signed them, but the group was asked to change their name.

“The Temptations,” most notably consisting of the “classic five” of Otis Wil-liams, Melvin Franklin, Paul Williams, Eddie Kendricks and David Ruffin, were born.

In 1964, “The Way You Do The Things You Do” made No. 11 on the Top 20 list, with “My Girl” taking No. 1 in 1965 and selling more than a million copies.

Williams said “My Girl” is still his favorite “Tempta-tions” song to this day, since it is basically the group’s “anthem.”

But how was it for him when he first heard his sing-

ing on the radio?“It was exhilarating,” Wil-

liams said. “It was a won-derful feeling and it still is today.”

One particular event that Williams remembers took place in Mississippi, when Archie Manning was the quarterback at the Univer-sity of Mississippi. Several black fans were ignoring their assigned seat numbers on their tickets at a concert, because everyone wanted to sit close to the stage to see the group, Williams said.

When the white ticket-holders came to the front looking for their seats, a fight nearly broke out be-tween black and white fans.

It was Williams and fel-low “Temptations” member Eddie Kendricks who went onstage and asked people to take their rightful seats. And they did.

Williams said it was

amazing that as just “up-start entertainers,” the fans “listened to them” and they “stopped a possible fight.”

“Music. It transcends barriers,” Williams said.

No matter what the group’s power over fans, Williams said he still gets nervous before shows though, even after decades on the stage.

“You never get complacent and take it for granted,” Wil-liams said, noting that the group is left alone to men-tally prepare before shows.

And “The Temptations,” now made up of Williams, Ron Tyson, Terry Weeks, Joe Herndon and Bruce Williamson, still do a lot of shows. Or in Williams’ words, they are “busier than a blind dog in a meat mar-ket.”

That’s part of what has kept Williams going over the years.

“I love it. When you sum it up, I enjoy it. I’m enjoying it still,” he said.

When asked what it feels like to have molded the face of the music industry, Wil-

liams was humble.“It’s a great feeling,” he

said. “Man, I never would imagine that when we start-ed singing. It’s great.”

And more is still in store for Williams and “The Temptations.”

Some considerations are being given to taking the story of “The Temptations” to Broadway, he said.

“That’s the amazing thing about show business. You never know what may hap-pen,” Williams said. “You know, the sky’s the limit.”

Book Review

‘A Wrinkle In Time’ still has relevanceBy lAuren mclAneSENTINEL [email protected]

“It was a dark and stormy night.”

Those cliched words, so often used humorously, are the opening salvo in Mad-eleine L’Engle’s seminal novel, “A Wrinkle In Time.” Published 50 years ago this week, the science fantasy novel is no less relevant in 2012 as it was in 1962.

The protagonist of the story — and the hero-ine I most identified with as a child, because she, too, wore braces and thick glasses — is Margaret “Meg” Murray, a brilliant but socially awkward teen-ager.

Despite having a beyond-genius-level IQ, Meg is in the lowest section of her grade. She can’t stay out of trouble. She picks fights to make herself feel better and to defend her “dumb baby brother,” Charles Wallace.

In the isolated village where the Murrays live, people don’t like what they don’t understand. In fact it scares them, and the Mur-rays are mysterious at least.

Drs. Kate and Alex Mur-ray are scientists — brilliant ones, who are working on things as vast as the whole universe and as tiny as the mitochondria inside a cell. Their oldest and youngest children inherited that bril-liance and share between them an uncommon bond. Meg and Charles Wallace can “kythe.” That is, they can communicate tele-pathically, Charles Wallace more so than Meg.

“It was his mother’s mind — and Meg’s — that he probed with frightening accuracy,” L’Engle writes.

When the book opens, Dr. Alex Murray has been missing for months. The

village assumes he’s run off, leaving his beautiful young wife and four children for another life. Meg doesn’t believe that.

TesseractNeither, it turns out,

does Charles Wallace, who has befriended three local guardian angels (masquer-ading as batty old women), Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Which and Mrs. Who.

Mrs. Whatsit pays a visit to the Murray house, and after drying off, she rather matter-of-factly says to Dr. Kate Murray, “Speaking of way, by the way, there is such a thing as a tesseract.” Such a seemingly innocu-ous and non-sensical state-ment catches Kate off guard and clearly startles her.

Her children, seeing her reaction, ask what a tesser-act is.

It’s a wrinkle in time — the shortest distance be-tween two points.

The next day, Meg and Charles Wallace — accom-panied by Meg’s school-mate Calvin O’Keefe — set off on what Charles Wal-lace says is a mission to save their father.

Alex Murray, it tran-spires, is being held cap-tive on Camazotz, a planet subject to group mind. Alex Murray refused to submit to the group mind think, and when the children find him, he is imprisoned in a column of what looks like glass. One they free him, he “tessers” them away from the planet.

Charles Wallace, howev-er, is left behind, under the control of IT, the evil brain (literally, actually — it’s just a brain in a jar) having taken control of him telepathi-cally.

The tessering through The Black Thing — which is the embodiment of pure

evil — almost kills Meg. On the planet Ixchel, Meg is given to understand that The Black Thing is all the evil ever in creation. It has been fought by people who have done good and worked for world peace and been helped by people who have done evil. It is what her fa-ther was fighting with his study of tessering and tes-seracts.

The life beings on Ixchel, one of whom Meg dubs Aunt Beast, nurse Meg back to health. Knowing that Charles Wallace is still there, still under threat, Meg demands that they re-turn for him, even though going through The Black Thing could kill her.

Once back on Camazotz, Meg faces IT, prepared to die if need be, to save her beloved baby brother. She

has been told by Mrs. Who that she has something IT doesn’t have. As she thinks about that, the possessed Charles Wallace reads her mind through their kythe connection and tells her she’s wrong, that there is nothing IT doesn’t have.

Her heart hurts, think-ing about how much she loves Charles Wallace, and she feels IT flinch through Charles Wallace. In a blind-ing flash of insight, she re-alizes that what IT doesn’t have is love — and what’s more IT can’t stand the hu-man emotion of love.

So Meg loves Charles Wallace. Tears streaming down her face, she loves her baby brother with all her heart, pulling him free of IT’s mind control. Mrs. Who tessers them back to Alex Murray and Calvin,

and from there to their home.

ThemesL’Engle’s works, much

like those of C.S. Lewis, are deeply influenced by her Christian viewpoint. When the children are asked to name historical figures who did good things to fight evil, the first name they come up with is Jesus. The idea of good fighting evil through love is found in several places in the scriptures, and the scriptures themselves are quoted several times.

Most notably is a quote from 1 Corinthians from which the book’s final chapter derives its title. Mrs Who advises Meg, “The foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weak-ness of God is stronger than men. For ye see your call-ing, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called, but God hath chosen the fool-ish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to con-found the things which are mighty....” — 1 Corinthians 1:25–28.

Interestingly, the book is too Christian for main-stream audiences, but too secular for Christian au-diences. It is frequently challenged by conservative Christian groups that object to the idea of crystal balls (used by the Happy Medi-um in an effort to foretell the future if Alex Murray isn’t rescued), aliens, alter-nate universes, and witches (though Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Which and Mrs. Who aren’t witches).

effectA nyo n e wh o ’s rea d

any other science fantasy (ahem, Harry Potter) will

recognize the influence L’Engle wielded on the genre. It was her idea that love could conquer evil, that love was an inherently magical creation — an idea J.K. Rowling took and ex-panded on in her seven-book series.

This is the first book in what was originally a trilo-gy and ultimately became a quintet. The first three - “A Wrinkle In Time,” “A Wind In the Door” and “A Swiftly Tilting Planet” — are by far the best science fanta-sy novels I have ever read. Though written 50 years ago, their overall themes are still relevant today.

In “Planet,” the idea of mutually assured nuclear destruction from a malevo-lent despot in a tiny coun-try is examined — anyone see any parallels today?

Unlike a lot of science fic-tion or fantasy or science fantasy novels, which con-tain hard-to-follow plot points and hard-to-believe gadgetry and technology, L’Engle’s novels are re-freshingly easy to follow.

The themes of the novel aren’t the fancy tools the characters use to get where they’re going — tessering to another galaxy, going through the eye of a cheru-bim to the mitochondria of Charles Wallace, traveling through time with a unicorn to change the what-might-have-been that resulted in a malevolent dictator with a nuclear weapon — than what they do once they’re there — save the world, save the world and oh, save the world.

But unlike Harry Potter, the characters have no spe-cial powers — for the most part, they’re not magical, they’re ordinary people do-ing extraordinary things.

Last weekend, I went to Philadelphia to hear Proj-ect Trio, a chamber mu-sic ensemble hailing from Brooklyn. Flutist Greg Pa-tillo, the beatbox flutist of YouTube fame, is a part of this group.

Full of energy and joy, they were a lot of fun to watch.

With every member from a classical background, the trio combines classical, jazz and hip hop influences to create a soundscape that enchants and energizes the listener. Playing strictly from memory, it was as if I were watching them per-form a set in a club instead

of a concert in a small hall packed with other flutists.

In one word, it was cool, and it inspired me to think more about playing outside the lines.

Prior to the concert, Greg Patillo gave a workshop on beatbox flute techniques. This technique treats the flute like a rhythm instru-ment, unlike the melodic

aspect of classical flute.No matter where you

find your inspiration, the kind of musical risk-taking that has become a recipe for Project Trio’s success can inspire your own lis-tening. There are a couple of concerts happening this weekend that will encour-age your creative risk-tak-ing.

On Friday at 7:30 p.m., the Millersville Univer-sity Jazz Ensemble will perform with guest art-ists of the U.S. Army Jazz Ambassadors as part of the Millersville Univer-sity Jazz Symposium. This free concert will be held at

Steinman Hall in The Ware Center on campus in Lan-caster.

Closer to home, horn player Tyler Ogilvie and pianist Eun Ae Baik-Kim will present “tyvie/music: Music for Horn, Electron-ics and Visual Multime-dia” on Saturday at 7 p.m. in Rubendall Recital Hall, Weiss Center for the Arts, at Dickinson College. Also free, this concert will ex-plore the integration of technology with tradition-al music.

No matter what you do in life, play outside the lines. Music is a great tool to help you get there.

Movie Review

BY NAOMI CREASONSENTiNEL [email protected]

Even with all of the ex-plosions, choreographed fight scenes and far too accurate gun shots, the most absurd thing about “This Means War” is that it expects you to agree that a woman who has doubled up on men should somehow feel betrayed by their dishonesty.

With any movie, es-pecially romantic com-edies, there’s an amount of disbelief you have to set aside in order to en-joy a movie. But even if you ignore the preposter-ousness of two CIA spies fighting over a pretty un-remarkable woman, there still isn’t much to enjoy about “This Means War.”

The movie is directed by McG (who did both “Charlie’s Angels” movies and “Terminator Salva-tion”) and centers around a woman who has trouble choosing the right guy from two men, who also happen to be best friends and partners at the CIA field office in Los Angeles.

Love triangles are a fa-vorite cliche in the ro-mantic comedy genre, and “This Means War” tried to do something a little dif-ferent by adding the spy

element and establishing a friendship between the two men. However, with a story involving each spy loving the woman, the woman loving each of the spies and the spies kind of in love with each other (they profess their love to each other more often than to her), there are a lot of relationships the movie needed to establish.

And, unfortunately for the movie, the relation-ships that fall through in convincing the audience are the ones that involve the woman.

There was quite a bit of work done to make t h e a u d i e n c e b e l i eve that these two spies re-ally would take a bul-let for each other, and it helps that the spies were played by Chris Pine and Tom Hardy. Even though neither had much to work with, you get a sense of each of their characters’ personalities and their desire to help each other out.

But their friendship is so effective that the lead-ing lady, played by Re-ese Witherspoon, ends

up being the throwaway character. You don’t get a feeling of what she wants or why either of the men seemingly fall head over heels for her so quickly.

Wi t h e rs p o o n p re t ty much spends the entire movie overshadowed by the advice and antics of her best friend (Chelsea Handler) and by the in-teraction between the two friends.

In the end, it doesn’t really matter which man she chooses, because I stopped caring about her character almost 30 min-

utes into the movie.The main appeal of

“This Means War” lies in how the spies track her and each other. So enjoy-ing “This Means War” is kind of dependent on how freaked out you get by the invasion of privacy going on in this film.

On one hand, the spy work is pretty creative, and there was one excel-lent tracking shot of each of the two men taking turns sneaking into her house and planting mon-itoring devices while she sings Montell Jordan’s

“This is How We Do It” and makes popcorn, ig-norant of what’s being done around her.

O n t h e o t h e r h a n d , watching each of them hide in her field of vi-sion in a very horror-movie sort of way while also taking notes of all of her conversations and background information is a step too far, even for jokes.

“ T h i s M e a n s Wa r ” works better as a com-edy or action flick but doesn’t really produce much on the romance front, unless you include

the bromance. The movie starts out promising but ends too neatly wrapped up.

I’m still not sure why the last decision was made, and the spy thrill-er fan in me keeps bring-ing up the point that if you’re a spy and your cover is blown, you can’t really go back to being a spy.

It might be worth a short laugh on DVD but certainly not the ticket costs when it opens in wide release this Friday.

‘This Means War’ fights a losing battleThe love

triangle in “This Means War” is difficult enough to pull off, but the movie makes little effort to make it work.
