VOLUME 4, NUMBER 42 • 0CT0BER 19, 2017
It’s finally time to walk around with
our heads tipped upward and our minds
focused on the colors of decay. Pops of
orange, yellow, and red decorate the papery
leaves along Rochester’s streets, and the
food we eat, the beverages we drink, and
fun we make all reflect the reality that we
are in the midst of autumn.
Pumpkin spice is, of course, abundant.
So are actual pumpkins, which you can
pick for yourself at select locations, along
with apples. Where are those, you ask? We
didn’t know, either, so we sent Matt Stolle
to investigave. And if you feel overwhelmed
with pumpkin spice foods, Kayley Gamm fills
you in on what to hit, and what to miss.
One thing we waded into ourselves?
Scary movie picks. One more week until our
scariest picks hit, so get your jump-scare
tolerance built up now, while you still can.

Catchby Local Sports
Jack and Kitty used to live
in a storage locker here in
Rochester. Now they play
organic vaudeville and jug band
folk music around the nation.
They’ve written four songs for
“The Florida Project” (for more
about that film, check out page
23), won Emmys, and now the
high school sweethearts (they’re
married now) are coming back
to town for a show at The Jive
Mill.
Which of the following is not an instrument used in “organic vaudeville?”
a. Washboard
b. Jug
c. Kazoo
d. Theremin
e. Whizbang
f. Rumba box
Are you a high schooler who’s grown weary of the rules and unmet
expectations of your high school’s dances? Well, this is one is for you.
Organized by The 507 Litty Committee, a crew of high schoolers who
came together to create a better dance, this all-city, high schoolers-only
mixer will be DJ’d by national phenomenon DJ Gavin Boss. The theme
is glow stick party, guaranteeing at least a few elements will be lit.
Puerto Rico is still
in trouble. The
good musicians of
Winona are “banding”
together to help out
by organizing a benefit
concert. It’s free to
attend, but that’s just
to make sure you’ve got
enough in your pockets
to send to our water-
logged, electricity-less
brethren down south. Here’s a schedule of acts:
1 p.m. to 2 p.m. – “Jazz At First Sight” Winona State U. Jazz Combo 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. – “H30 Trio” Eric, Max & Hans Heukeshoven with John Sievers and Ray Dretske soloists 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. – “Swing Inc.” Jazz Quintet4 p.m. to 5 p.m. – James “Mudcat” Grant
Don’t like all the acts? You should still stick around, as there will be
hourly door prizes consisting of gift certificates to the best restaurants
in Winona.
With amplifiers humming, drums
pounded to pulp, and raw-edged vocals,
Local Sports has lived up to their name’s
claim and recorded a truly local EP titled
appropriately with a sports theme: Catch.
The six-track EP written and performed by
Cody VanSickle (drums), Joshua Brundige
(bass and vocals), Stephan Phan (guitar
and vocals), and Jimmy Seechan (guitar)
was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Zach
Zurn at Carpet Booth Studios in Rochester
and released in September of 2017.
Each of the EP’s six tracks is an ear worm
that won’t let me go. As some of the lyrics
from “Liquor Church,” the EP’s fifth track,
say “no matter how hard I try/I can’t get
away, away” from these songs. The second
“away” soars up into the atmosphere, a
rocket taking flight, and takes me with it.
There is something guttural about the song
that urges the listener to celebrate life’s
imperfections.
One of the EP’s must-hear tracks is “A
Holiday in Wales.” The second track on
the EP, the song includes a hook that’s a
primordial shout. The song’s savage melody
imprints the visceral lyrics indelibly on your
frontal lobe.
With emo, punk, and pop sensibilities,
Local Sports at times includes sonic
artifacts from bands like Third Eye Blind.
As a whole, the songs on “Catch” are like
freshly inked tattoos – brilliantly colored
and speckled with blood.

Halloween party playlist optionsby SYDNEY PESHON
It’s that orange and cobwebbed time of year again. Skeleton
heads have found their way onto tabletops, darkness sets
in closer to dinner-time, and the sound of a child’s laughter
has taken a more sinister tone. Halloween is at our mittened
fingertips, and getting in the spirit is now easier than
building a Frankenstein or waiting for the Great Pumpkin; it’s
as simple as listening to sinister songs.
Whether you’re eating two value packs of various M&M’s on
your couch, carving a pumpkin into something resembling a
crime scene, or driving to Halloween Express to pick up a Game
of Thrones costume, any time is a good time
to try out a themed playlist. These songs
will deck out your mind like your excited
neighbor decks out their front yard.

What do you get when you cross a
concert with a house party? The
Live Lounge Presents.
This annual show features
low lights, the opportunity for
conversation, and the chance to dance.
This year’s show is a tribute to the
fabulous ABBA.
Why?
Why not?
“ABBA is the music we need to hear
right now,” says organizer Paul Scott.
He’s absolutely right. Especially since the
fABBAulous tribute show will benefit the
Boys & Girls Club of Rochester.
Scott has assembled an all-star cast
of Rochester’s top performers to put
on the show including, in no particular
order, Dianna Parks (lead vocals for Parks
and Kleist Band), Michael Carlucci (bass
and vocals for Fair Trade), Kevin Kleist
(guitar for Parks and Kleist Band), Carl
Stephenson (guitar for LP & The 45’s),
Mary Lieser (lead vocals for Incognito),
John Wheeler (synth for Six Mile Grove),
Becca Stiles-Nogosek (vocals for Heart
Like a Wheel, a Linda Ronstadt tribute),
and Jay Peterson (drums for LP & The
45’s).
Even though Stiles-Nogosek’s study of
ABBA’s dance moves suggests they were
most adept at “rhythmic clapping and
well-timed shoulder shrugs,” the show is
billed as a “dance
party,” and
Lieser is quick
to assert that
with both the
tribute band
and a DJ in
the mix “there
will plenty of
opportunity
for you to bust out your best disco and
80s-era moves.”
Peterson, however, is no “Dancing
Queen.” He prefers to take refuge behind
his drum kit. “All I know is I can’t dance.
That’s why I play drums,” he says. The
good news is that the show’s proximity
to Halloween has turned it into a great
occasion for attendees to don a costume,
so shy dancers like Peterson can just
choose a costume that does the work for
them.
The fABBAulous musicians have
labored tirelessly to learn every song
from the ABBA “Gold” album. The show
will include songs like “The Winner Takes
It All” and “One of Us.” Based on the
band’s rehearsal regimen, the music will
be superb. When asked how many hours
of preparation the show’s taken, Parks
quips, “It is best not to add it up…” and
Stephenson adds, “I’ve spent a crazy
amount of time learning these songs. I’d
hate to admit how much!”
Wheeler, a Pink Floyd enthusiast who
admits to being a “closet ABBA fan,”
says ABBA’s “Take a Chance on Me” has
been one of his favorite songs for years.
He likes to listen to it “real loud on a
good sound system,” and he’s enamored
with how “pristine” the song is. There’s
something in this music that everyone
can appreciate.
While the music for fABBAulous will
no doubt be impressive, the show is also
focused on raising funds for the Boys &
Girls Club. Many members of the band
are excited that their music can go to
support such a worthy cause. Carlucci
puts it this way: “The importance of an
organization like this cannot be stressed
enough. Its core tenets give young
people the tools to help map out a strong
personal blueprint, making a difference
in their lives.”
Between the music and the cause, the
only potential problem with this show
is, as Scott points out, that the audience
may be singing along so loudly that you
can’t hear the fABBAulous band.
It’s for a good cause, so be a “Super
Trouper” and check out the fABBAulous
show.

treasures await in stewartville
The second-annual fall Stewartville Indoor
& Outdoor Flea Market takes place behind
Old River Valley Antique Mall this weekend.
In pole barns, sheds, and inside the store,
attendees will get to pick their way through
a staggering variety of items, ranging from
vintage to antique, from handmade to repurposed.
Vendors include Farm Girl Finds, The Cottage, and
Once Was Primitives, Antiques & Rustic Finds
from Elkader, Iowa, Mystic Moon Antiques &
Collectibles, The Rustic Bloom,
and more. Admission is free,
and items run the gamut
from $1 bags of
costume jewelry
to spendier pieces
of re-purposed
furniture.
Chris Rand-Kujath, owner of Old River Valley
Antique Mall, is on a mission to keep antique
shopping around for as long as she can. Her shop
is becoming an epicenter of everything antique in
Stewartville as other shops close and move their
stock to her shelves. Though the antique business
is in a bit of a divot right now, the allure of old
items remains potent. Ammunition crates, Red
Wing ceramics - these things function as well or
better than similar items made today. The added
benefit? They come with history.

It’s a time of wagon rides, apple and
pumpkin picking, and corn maze
explorations.
And 507 offers a list - by no means
definitive - of where you can go to
satisfy your apple and pumpkin picking
inclinations.
What do you think about them
apples?
by MATT STOLLE
Apples, apples, apples
Contributed photo
A P P L E P I C K I N G A C T I V I T I E S 91 0 . 1 9 . 1 7
Apple Ridge Orchard, 47418 240th
Ave., Mazeppa, Minn., offers apples,
pumpkins and grapes for visitors to pick.
It has a wide variety of apples on its
50-acre orchard, including B51, an apple
developed in Minnesota. The apple is
juicy, tangy, and is extremely crispy.
“Every apple is special,” said Anne
Steppen, who co-owns the orchard
with her husband, Vince, “but the nice
thing about the B51 is that our guests
absolutely love it.”
Apple Ridge also offered fresh caramel
apples, two kinds of corn mazes - one for
kids and another for adults - an alpaca
barnyard, and wagon rides.
“Everybody seems to just love getting
back to nature in the wagon rides,” said
Steppen. “That’s kind of our specialty.”
She said Apple Orchard has a very
simple pricing, but it also offers a family
pass that’s good for the whole season,
which allows families to access all the
activities. Apples are priced by the pound.
Those who pick them pay $2.25 per pound
if they pick 20 pounds. Customers who
opt to buy them in the store are pay by the
peck.
Blossom Hill Orchard, 645 U.S. Highway
52, Preston, is a smaller, 16-acre orchard
of 1,000 trees. Customers don’t pick the
pumpkin or apples, but here every apple
counts, ending up in a pie, at the farmers
market, or Blossom Hill’s retail area.
The orchard is growing, as the owners
Dane and Hillary Diede add about 150
trees each year. The orchard is open 9 a.m.
to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and
Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5
p.m.
The orchard has a bakery, where it sells
about 150 apple turnovers each day. It
also sells caramel apples, cookies, and
apple pies. Pumpkins range from $1 to $5.
The cost for apples is ranges from $8.50 to
$15 per five-pound bag.
Sekapp Orchard, 3415 Collegeview Rd
E., Rochester, has been around since 1962,
when Fred Kappauf’s mom bought the
orchard. Sekapp has 27 acres of fruit trees
with about 7,000 trees.
This is the height of busy apple and
pumpkin season, the eight weeks of
September and October, Kappauf said.
Sekapp’s biggest sellers are Honeycrisp
and Haralson apples, although they sell
roughly 25 different varieties.
The orchard sells pick-your-own apples
by the bag: customers pick which size bags
they want to purchase and then go out
into the orchard and fill it up.
“Some people pile the bag really high,
which we encourage, because we have a
lot of apples out there,” Kappauf said.
“Some people will buy a six dollar bag and
only fill it half full, because they want the
experience.”
Sekapp also has a huge pumpkin patch
with thousands of pumpkins to choose
from. Wagon rides are also an added
feature, bringing you to and from the
orchard. There is no charge to the wagon
rides, but a $6 apple bag purchase is
required for everybody five years old and
older. The bag allows customers to entered
the orchard, ride the wagons, travel
through the corn trail, and pick apples.

Pumpkin spiced foods to love and leave
Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts
I will admit the only Pop Tarts I eat are
the brown sugar cinnamon flavor, so
I was extremely hesitant to try these.
I first tried them cold, which was a
huge mistake. They were dry and had
no pumpkin or spice taste whatsoever.
Toasting them was a complete game
changer. The pumpkin spice flavor came
out in the warm gooey filling and was
surprisingly tasty. I had my co-taster,
someone who is not a big fan of pumpkin
spice, try them and he said “they aren’t
bad.” That would be a thumbs up in my
book.
Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Kisses
I wasn’t a huge fan of these, but my
co-taster loved them. They do have an
extremely strong pumpkin spice flavor,
but it was almost too much for me. I
could only have one or two, and then I
was done.
White Pumpkin Pie M&Ms
While these don’t claim to be pumpkin
spice, they are a pumpkin product, so
I counted it. I grew up on M&Ms, and
every year they come out with new
fall flavors. This year’s offering didn’t
disappoint. These candies taste so similar
to pumpkin pie, it was quite shocking.
They were absolutely delicious and
can definitely pull off the pumpkin pie
flavoring.
Alouette Pumpkin Spice Soft
Spreadable Cheese
Trying this product was a bit of a fluke
for me. I was wandering through the
grocery store and happened upon this
cheese as a demo. They were sampling
this cheese with Nilla Wafers, and oh
man was it good. The cheese was slightly
spicy and creamy, and when mixed with
the Nilla Wafer, was very similar to
pumpkin pie.
Pumpkin Spice Cheerios:
I was really excited for these because, as
a dietitian, Cheerios are one of my most
recommended cereals, since they are
whole grain! But these just didn’t work
for me. I could definitely taste the whole
grain, but was missing the spice flavor.
I wished they would have been a bit
sweeter and a bit spicier.
Pumpkin Spice Life
I really enjoyed the subtle pumpkin spice
flavor of the Life cereal. Life has the right
balance of sweetness that brings out the
spice flavor perfectly. The only down-side
of this cereal is how soggy it gets with a
bit of milk. With the loss of texture, it
becomes an unpalatable mush.
Pumpkin Spice Milano Cookies
These cookies were my absolute favorite
pumpkin spice item. The crunchiness of
the cookie paired with smooth layers of
dark chocolate and pumpkin spice really
worked well. This cookie had the best
balance of pumpkin spice, it was just
right.
Pumpkin Spice Nutri-Grain Bars
No. Just no. These were horrible. The bar
itself was dry and there was absolutely no
pumpkin flavor. In fact, there wasn’t any
flavor at all. Do yourself a favor and steer
clear of these this season.
F O O D41 0 . 1 9 . 1 7 P U M P K I N S P I C E
Autumn means many things: leaves changing, cooler weather,
sweaters, bonfires, and pumpkin spice. Pumpkin spice foods and
products are everywhere and are popping up in the oddest places.
Pumpkin spice chips, pumpkin spice cough drops, pumpkin spice
butter, you can
find anything! I decided
to try some of the items
that are on the shelves
now to determine how
they live up to the
pumpkin spice name.
But what actually is true
pumpkin spice? Pumpkin
spice is a spice blend
of cinnamon, ginger,
nutmeg, clove, and
allspice. The presence or
lack of these spices is how I
am determining my scores
for these products.
Let’s jump in!

Caring Acts
of Kindness
Everywhere (CAKE)
is an online group
that engages in random
acts of kindness. Formed
by Danielle Teal, the
group has a humble
beginning.
Several years ago, Teal
was ready to pay for the
gas she pumped into
her vehicle when the
cashier told her the bill
had already been paid by
someone else.
“I was touched that
a stranger would do
something so kind
without knowing who I
was,” she said. “I wanted
to carry that forward and
not let the kind act end
with me.”
Shortly after, Teal
began her personal quest
to complete a leap-year’s worth (366
days) of kind actions in 2012. She began
a blog to chronicle her intentions, and
others who read her blog began to follow
suit.
The CAKE group has been involved in
a host of local efforts to bring kindness
and a generous spirit into Rochester
and the surrounding communities.
CAKE members created and distributed
welcome baskets for Gage East housing
residents, provided turkey dinners for
Christmas, created giving trees at local
businesses and parks, and coordinated
efforts to help pay down the school lunch
debt at public schools in Rochester.
“We see hate, destruction, and harm
in the world,” Teal said. “What better
way to combat hate than with love and
kindness?”

Five ways to begin kindness today
1. Connect your talents and passions with acts of kindness. Artists and
crafters might want to make homemade cards or bookmarks as gifts. Coffee
lovers might buy someone else’s morning cup of Joe.
2. Volunteer at a place that connects with personal values. The United Way
has a link to local volunteer opportunities at volunteer.uwolmsted.org.
3. Participate in kindness groups like CAKE online. Meet others who also
want to share kindness. Check out their Facebook page for more, facebook.
com/CAKERochMN
4. Need further inspiration? Visit the Random Acts of Kindness website,
randomactsofkindness.org.
5. Put your kindness into action during the week of November 6-11 to
celebrate Minnesota Acts of Kindness Week. United Way is teaming up with
CAKE to shower the world with kindness. More information is available from
the United Way and CAKE online.

THE BEERTo steal a phrase off their website,
“Our focus is high-quality, small-
batch production beers with ever-
changing taps.” The brewery has a
constant rotation around a dozen
taps. Crowd favorites like the House
IPA, milkshake IPAs, Peanut Butter
Porter, and Chocolate Milk Stout
have become staples and will likely be
available in some form on any given
visit. But Dangerous Man boasts
a wide range of styles that have a
traditional, balanced base with a
modern twist.
House IPA is neatly balanced with
a bitter finish and a smooth malt
bill. There are subtle fruity and floral
notes. The milkshake series changes
frequently. This series of thick,
opaque-complexion beers vary with
different hops available and brewer
fancy. The recent Mixed Berry
Milkshake had a careful blend of tart
blackberry, blueberry sweetness, and
subtle strawberry.
Two dark beers stand out at
Dangerous Man. The Peanut Butter
Porter has a wafting, creamy peanut
butter nose to complement toasty
chocolate malt. The peanut butter
directs this flavorful beer, while the
slightly bitter malt adds complexity
to it. The Chocolate Milk Stout is
another beer that suggests dessert
by name but has too much depth
to limit it to that category. On tap
since opening, this American stout
has a creamy mouthfeel with a true
chocolate milk taste, minus the
overbearing sweetness of that stuff
kids drink out of the carton.
Dangerous Man is located at 1300 NE 2nd St.
in Minneapolis, on the corner of NE 2nd St. and
13 Ave. NE. It’s centrally located between I-94
and I-35W in Northeast Minneapolis, accessible
from the Broadway exit (94) and 4th Street
exit (35W), followed by a short drive through
residential and commercial areas. It is close
to the historic Grain Belt Brewery and has
numerous restaurants nearby, including Young
Joni, The Anchor Fish & Chips, The Draft Horse,
and more.
G E T T I N G T H E R ENo beer trip to the Twin Cities is complete without stopping
at Dangerous Man – or at least grabbing a growler or
crowler next door. The brewery opened in 2013, ready to
serve their immediate community with on-premise beer. It’s
always fresh, always in rotation, and only available on-site.
In 2015 they added onto the brewery and created the Growler
Shop, a walk-up counter selling pre-filled growlers, crowlers, and
merchandise.
The brewery itself is in an old Minneapolis bank, with
structural pillars creating a de facto separation between beer hall
and bar. The brewhouse is tucked (mostly) out of sight behind the
back bar. It’s a cozy one-room atmosphere, part industrial-historic
simplicity, part community gathering hall with a rambunctious
air. It hosts calm conversations and cribbage by day and
boisterous gatherings by night.
The bar is decorated with iron, steel, and copper plates, which
give a rustic feel in tune with the building’s history, while the
pillars and numerous windows provide unique character. Most
of the taproom’s seating is arranged at community tables, where
patrons get to know their fellow beer lovers.

Winterize your family at
Winter outerwear & boots for all ages
If your fall to-do list does not
include visiting Como Park
Zoo and Conservatory at
1225 Estabrook Dr. in St.
Paul, there is good reason to
not only add it, but circle and
star it to make sure it happens.
And it would be wise to note
events on the horizon there for
early winter when October’s
chill gives way to cold.
If, on the other hand, you
have journeyed there at this
time of year – maybe being
part of the generations to
do so – know that this year
promises to be more special
than ever, according to Matt
Reinartz, Zoo and Conservatory
spokesperson.
The Fall Flower Show has
been a part of the Conservatory’s
offerings since it opened in 1915,
with holiday and spring versions
materializing in 1925. The first fall
show was a magnificent exhibit
of chrysanthemums, according to
park history. Eventually, a winter
and summer show were added in
the Sunken Garden of the Marjorie
McNeely Conservatory.
The Fall Flower Show is presented
in two parts celebrating October and
then November.
“This year there is an orange and
black palette for October,” said
Reinartz. “Our gardeners always
do a great job of selecting special
accent flowers to go with
our orange as well as gold
chrysanthemums. This year’s
flowers represent something
you won’t see other places.
Black is especially hard to
find.”
Just what are those black
flowers? “The Halloween
II Pansy, the Mariposa
Pansy, and the Sorbet Black
Delight Viola,” Reinartz
said, adding you can Google
them if you are curious for a
preview. He explained that
all flowers for the shows
are grown and cultivated
in the greenhouses at the
Conservatory.
After part one closes
October 29, gardeners will work
diligently the next week to install
part two, Reinartz said, creating a
garden with a black and pink color
scheme. That would include pink
chrysanthemums. “Our gardeners
all take turn selecting colors and
designs, and this year it is black and
pink for November.”

Plenty of flowers and more to be found at Conservatory

In addition to the Fall Flower Show, there are plenty
of other Como Park Zoo and Conservatory offerings
to enjoy both now and later. Admission to the zoo
and conservatory is free, though some events do
have a fee.
• For the 30th year in a row, ZooBoo will offer
children eight and under and their families a non-
scary Halloween celebration including safe trick-
or-treating and live costumed fairytale characters
greeting visitors. ZooBoo 2017 is scheduled for 4:30
to 7:30 p.m. October 21, 22, 28, and 29. Tickets are
$6 in advance for all ages, and $7 at the door.
• Coinciding with December’s Holiday Flower
Show, a Holiday Tea on Wednesday, Dec. 6, in the
North Garden includes a menu of tea sandwiches,
scones, and desserts. There are seatings at 11 a.m.
and 2 p.m. for $45 per person.
• Also part of the historic Victorian glass
domed and walled conservatory are the Fern
Room – home to tropical varieties in a backdrop
of a waterfall and three pools; the Palm Dome
– inhabited by tropical varieties reaching to the
top of the 64-foot high crystal center dome; and
an Orchid Room or nook – its holdings viewable
through a glass door.
• Tropical Encounters is a Central and South
American rainforest adventure complete with
freshwater stingrays, giant river turtles, frogs,
toads, fish, free-roaming birds, an anaconda, and
Chloe the sloth.
• The Ordway Gardens include a Bonsai
gallery, outdoor Bonsai Garden and terrace, and
walk leading to the outdoor Charlotte Partridge
Ordway Japanese Garden, which, Reinartz said, is
open always as long as snow and ice are not overly
challenging.

Halloween draws
ever closer, and
we’re upping our
scare factor this
week. You may
have to watch some of these
through your hands, because
our reviewers have done
their level best to make you
scream. Some of these films
might even be too creepy
for you, in which case, we’ve
done our jobs.
If you’ve missed the
previous films, we’ve listed
them again. We can’t have
anyone being ill-prepared for
this haunted holiday now,
can we?
4 more scary movies to thrill you this week
Scaredy PantsCrimson Peak (R, 2015)Scare Rating:
cult classic connoisseurSilence of the Lambs (1991)Scare Rating:
Sleepy Shadow
Magic (R, 1978)Scare Rating:
horror junkie
The Strangers (R, 2008)Scare Rating:
I had to be coerced into watching this film, since it’s directed by Guillermo del Toro, notorious fantasy filmmaker with a passion for the dark and mysterious. There are plenty of thrilling moments in this tale, all stemming from the fact that the main character Edith can see ghosts, of which there are plenty in the home of her husband and his sister. Though there’s more blood in this film than I usually like, the underlying idea of being true to yourself when no one will listen rings true and honest, and I’d watch this again in a heartbeat.Previous PicksHocus Pocus The Corpse Bride
“Silence of the Lambs” is a psychological thriller that will tug at your sanity long after the credits roll. Psychopathic, cannibalistic ex-murderer Hannibal Lecter is unnerving as he wriggles his way into the mind of aspiring FBI agent Clarice Starling. Throw that grainy, ‘90s lo-fi look in the mix, and you’ve got a recipe for terror.
Previous Picks: Rocky Horror Picture Show Poltergeist
“Magic” is a horror film starring a pre-”Silence of the Lambs” Anthony Hopkins. It follows his rise as a magician and entertainer with a mysterious bond with his ventriloquist doll. When he absconds from show business on the cusp of overwhelming success, he reconnects with a high school love interest. His murderous doll, however, has other plans. The actors all turn in memorable performances, and the doll’s kills are more life-like than in other killer-doll films. Still, it moves a little slowly and wears its ‘70s sensibilities on its sleeve.
Previous Picks:It Follows The Blob
“The Strangers” follows a young, troubled couple staying in a remote vacation home. What starts with a loud knock on the door in the middle of the night soon turns into a disturbing and violent invasion by three masked individuals. This isn’t your typical “slasher” movie, and that’s what I like about it. This film uses suspense and paranoia instead of blood and gore to create a believable horror/thriller that will leave you uneasy. Good luck sleeping after this one.

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. It (R, 135 min.) H H H H H This R-rated interpretation of Stephen King’s masterful 1986 novel is a bold, intense, beautifully paced, wickedly hilarious, seriously scary, and gorgeously terrifying period-piece work that instantly takes its place among the most impressively twisted horror movies of our time. American Assassin (R, 111 min.) H H H H H A new recruit (Dylan O’Brien) training with a Secret Ops legend (Michael Keaton) is sent with a band of warriors to take out a terrorist mastermind. Unwise casting and ludicrous plotting mar the action, and at best I was buying about half of what “American Assassin” was selling. 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. 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.
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. American Made (R, 115 min.) H H H H Tom Cruise gives one of his most energized and charming performances in years as a real-life CIA operative who laundered millions in ill-gotten cash and flew guns and cocaine. Sure, we get some big action, but the most memorable scenes involve Cruise in a room with a handful of other characters, usually neck-deep in an untenable situation.
Battle of the Sexes (PG-13, 121 min.) H H H H Instead of impersonating Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs, Emma Stone and Steve Carell create full-fledged, complex characters – flawed but endlessly fascinating. This finely tuned period piece about their 1973 tennis matchup works as a vibrant comedy, an effective character study and, yep, an inspirational sports movie. 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 past may hold a clue to the identity of the killers.
Only the Brave (PG-13, 133 min.)
