“Captain America: The Winter Soldier”: Chris Evans returns to the role of Captain America. His efforts to adjust to the modern world are disrupted when S.H.I.E.L.D. — the organization that leads the defense of the planet from super threats — comes under attack. The more that Captain America digs into the assault, the more he begins to ques-tion what is right and what is wrong.

It’s easy to overlook the acting in big action movies. But from Evans to Robert Redford, who plays a man of power with a hidden agenda, the cast treats the story like a serious drama and sells the story.

“Words and Pic-tures”: An English teacher enters into a battle with an art instructor over which is more important—words or pictures.

The film resonates with a clever and endearing energy that hearkens back to the days when Doris Day and Rock Hudson dom-inated the box office. In a film era saturated with big special effects or teenage lust, this movie relies on the chemistry of its stars, Clive Owen and Juliette Binoche, to hold the attention of an audience.

“Brick Mansions”: A tale of a near-future Detroit where crime is so bad in an inner city area known as the Brick Mansions that a giant wall has been built around it.

“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D: The Complete First Season”: Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg) leads a team of special agents.

“Doctor Who: Deep Breath”: The 12th Doctor’s era begins with Peter Capaldi as the time traveler.

“Louder Than Words”: Husband and wife try to put their lives together after

the death of their daugh-ter.

“Young Frankenstein 40th Anniversary”: Mel Brooks comedy starring Gene Wilder.

“Rodgers & Hammer-stein’s Cinderella (50th Anniversary Edition)”: Lesley Ann Warren, Gin-ger Rogers and Stuart Damon star in the 1965 TV special.

“The Midnight Special Collector’s Edition”: Features performances by Bee Gees, Fleetwood Mac, Marvin Gaye and many more.

“Teenage”: Documen-tary looks at evolution of the age group.

“The Magic School Bus: Human Body”: DVD and book bundle teaches all about the human body.

“Korengal”: Sebastian Junger’s look at Afghan war vets.

“Bryan Kellen: Ballet Komedico”: Special fea-turing the rubber-bodied comedian.

“A Long Way Down”: Four strangers meet on a roof with the intent of committing suicide.

“Star Trek: The Com-pendium”: Includes the films “Star Trek” and “Star Trek Into Dark-ness.”

“Blue Bloods—The Fourth Season”: CBS family drama starring

Tom Selleck, Donnie Wahlberg.“Bee People”: Look at those helping

save the bees.“Baseball’s Greatest Games: New

York Yankees Postseason Heroics”: Includes four memorable games.

“The Curse of Oak Island”: History Channel series about the search for treasure.

“Victim”: Young man tries to break out of a cycle of violence.

“The World Wars”: Jeremy Renner narrates.

“Godzilla Double Feature”: Includes two films featuring the giant creature.

COMMUNITY

Skagit Valley Herald staff

The region’s most cap-tivating bank robbery and its resulting manhunt hap-pened a century ago this fall. Sedro-Woolley will mark its 100th anniversary and honor a local family during its annual Found-ers Day celebration, Sept. 13-14.

Sedro-Woolley native and historian Rustan Robertson partnered with the Sedro-Woolley Muse-um to write and publish the book, “The Wages of Sin: The True Story & Photos of the Great Sedro-Woolley Bank Robbery of 1914.”

Robertson will sign copies of his book during the Founders Day cel-ebration.

A robbery re-enact-ment by area actors will begin at noon Saturday, Sept. 13, in front of the museum, 725 Murdock St., followed by an open house from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. to honor the Janicki family, pioneers in Skagit County.

The robbery re-enact-ment has been performed for 20 years, and this will be the final presentation, museum director Carolyn Freeman said.

Robertson’s book details the complete story of the robbery, from the preparations by the rob-bers and the town to the robbery on the evening of Oct. 17, 1914, and the ensuing chase through Skagit and Whatcom counties and southern British Columbia.

Aside from four of the five bank robbers, two additional deaths resulted

Founders Day: Final robbery re-enactmentHISTORIAN PARTNERS WITH MUSEUM ON BOOK ABOUT SEDRO-WOOLLEY BANK ROBBERY

Danny Miller / Skagit Valley Herald

Carolyn Freeman, Sedro-Woolley Museum executive director, and Rustan Robertson, author of “The Wages of Sin” — an historical account of the 1914 Sedro-Woolley Bank Robbery — stand outside an exhibit at the museum with historical artifacts and photos from the robbery. Robertson will sign copies of his book Saturday during Founders Day activities.

from the robbery – a 13-year-old boy in Sedro-Woolley shot in the initial shootout near the bank and a Canadian customs officer killed in a shootout with the robbers near Clo-verdale, British Columbia, Robertson said.

More than 100 photos of the robbery aftermath, chase and dead bank robbers are featured in Robertson’s book, includ-ing digitized images made

from glass lantern slides once shown in movie the-aters of the time.

“It’s a fascinating piece of regional history and was a joy to compile over several years,” said Rob-ertson, former museum board member and Sedro-Woolley High School graduate. “Aside from the comedy-of-errors shoot-out and manhunts that play out in the story, the photographs are an out-

standing glimpse of the region 100 years ago.”

Robertson, who lives in Anacortes, said nearly $400,000 in gold at today’s value remains unaccount-ed for and may be hid-den in the woods, “which keeps the story alive and exciting even today.”

The book is available at the museum, 725 Murdock St., various Skagit County retailers and online at 1914BankRobbery.com.

MOVIES

MINI-REVIEWSCompiled from news services.Ratings are one to four stars.

“Are You Here” — With his friend (Owen Wilson) at his side, a neurotic stoner (Zach Galifianakis) learns he’s inher-ited his dad’s estate, as his sister (Amy Poehler) schemes to gain control. It’s not a fall-down-funny comedy; it mostly makes you smile, laugh a little bit, and then shake your head in admiration. Comedy drama, R, 113 minutes. HHH “Begin Again” — Reel-ing from a breakup with her musical partner and longtime boyfriend, a songwriter in New York City has a chance encoun-ter with a disgraced record label exec that blossoms into something more. With Keira Knightley, Mark Ruffalo, Hailee Steinfeld and Adam Levine. R, 104 minutes. HH “Frank Miller’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For” — The mul-tiple storylines in this dark, exhilarating sequel are punctu-ated by bursts of creative vio-lence as booze-soaked, world-weary anti-heroes obsess over taking down a longtime enemy or protecting a temptress in distress. There’s a lot of movie going on here. Action, R, 102 minutes. HHH

1⁄2 “Guardians of the Galaxy” — Chris Pratt plays the leader of a misfit band of anti-heroes, including a cynical raccoon and a walking tree, in this refresh-ing confection of entertain-ment, a mostly lighthearted and self-referential comic-book movie with loads of whiz-bang action, some laugh-out-loud moments and a couple of sur-prisingly beautiful and touching scenes as well. Sci-fi action, PG-13, 122 minutes. HHH

1⁄2 “If I Stay” — After a car accident, high school senior Mia (Chloe Grace Moretz) lives both in a coma and as a spiri-tual alter ego looking on. The movie plays like a high school version of “Ghost,” only less involving, less romantic and a little creepier. Drama, PG-13, 107 minutes. H1⁄2 “Into the Storm” — This tornado disaster movie has some pretty nifty effects, but there’s about as much charac-ter development as you’d find in the first draft of a “Trans-formers” screenplay. A bunch of one-dimensional characters battle the most powerful storm in the history of, well, his-tory, as if they’re in a slightly more sophisticated version of “Sharknado 2.” Disaster action, PG-13, 89 minutes. HH

“Life After Beth” — Pro-nounced dead earlier, Beth (Aubrey Plaza) suddenly returns, to the puzzlement of her grieving boyfriend (Dane DeHaan). The fine actors in this film, including John C. Reilly and Cheryl Hines, seem lost as to whether they should be playing the grisly material for laughs, and the movie is DOA from scene one. Comedy horror, R, 91 minutes. H1⁄2 “Teenage Mutant Ninja Tur-tles” — The Michael Bay-pro-duced 3-D re-boot spares no expense in special effects and spares no decibel in the vol-ume that is the soundtrack to all their new mayhem. These digitally animated super-sized turtles have real-world pres-ence and weight, stumping onto the scene like teenagers who haven’t learned to do anything quietly. But between those scenes is an awful lot of chatter and exposition. Sci-fi action violence, PG-13, 101 minutes. HH “The Congress” — Robin Wright plays a Robin Wright who sells her image to be used in films forever. It’s fascinating and boring, intrigu-ing and exasperating, but ultimately it felt like a jamba-

laya of ideas that didn’t quite mesh into a satisfying experi-ence. Sci-fi drama, not rated, 122 minutes. HH “The Expendables 3” — Here we have some of the most beloved action stars of the last half-century -- from Han Solo to the Terminator to Rambo -- and they’re mired in a live-action cartoon with wit-less dialogue, a nothing plot and endless action sequenc-es. “The Expendables 3” is proof a movie can be exceed-ingly loud and excruciatingly dull. Action, PG-13, 126 min-utes. H “The Giver” — The beloved children’s novel by Lois Lowry becomes a movie starring Jeff Bridges and Meryl Streep about a supposedly utopian society where everyone is comfortably numb to love and pain. For a story designed to touch our emotions and remind us of all the wonderful highs and all the devastating lows of a life undiluted, it’s not nearly as involving as you might expect. Sci-fi drama, PG-13, 94 minutes. HH “The Fault in Our Stars” — With lesser source material, an average director and an OK cast, the adaptation of John

Green’s novel about the glory and unfairness of life could have lost me. But everyone involved, from director Josh Boone to transcendent star Shailene Woodley and beyond, has talents way beyond the average. Drama, PG-13, 125 minutes. HHHH “When the Game Stands Tall” — This is a solid if unsurprising and uninspiring melodrama built around high school football, faith-based but “Friday Night Lite.” Mount Vernon native Jim Caviezel plays a pious coach who talks about building character as much as he worries about blocking schemes. The movie follows the team and the tests it faces after having its record 151-game win streak snapped. Sports drama, PG, 1:55. HH “Wish I Was Here” — Direc-tor/co-writer/actor Zach Braff’s “Wish I Was Here” is a precious and condescending exercise in self-indulgent pan-dering, featuring one of the whiniest lead characters in recent memory. The support-ing cast is rich with talented actors: Mandy Patinkin, Kate Hudson, Josh Gad. Comedy-drama, R, 120 minutes. 1⁄2

NEW THIS WEEK“The Drop” is a simmering thriller from the writer who

gave us “Mystic River” and “Gone, Baby Gone,” a tale heavy with the weight of violence we know is coming. Eventually.

Bob Saginowski is a bartender-for-life at Cousin Marv’s on the cruel side of Brooklyn, a 30something loner living in the house his late parents bought and, from the looks of it, furnished in the 1970s.

Bob notices things, which we gather is a pretty solid survival strategy for this corner of Brooklyn. There’s menace in the air, from Marv, from the customers, from any out-of-the-ordinary encounter on the street, from the guys we see casing the bar, to the cop (John Ortiz) who shows up to investigate the robbery those thugs carry out.

Bob noticed one of the masked gunmen was wearing an old watch that no longer worked. That detail is going to get a lot of people into a lot of trouble.

Because Cousin Marv’s is a “drop,” a place where low-rent bookies and dealers leave bundles of cash for the crime bosses who control them, part of a rotating circuit of bars where scary guys deposit envelopes so that scarier guys can come, after hours, and collect them. You rob a “drop,” the world’s about to drop on your head.

“The Drop” contains one last, great mob movie turn by James Gandolfini, giving him several rich scenes including a great monologue about disappointment with the past and a future that’s closing in around him.

1:45. R (for some strong violence and pervasive language).HHH

1⁄2

A fictionalized account of the true story of Winter, a badly injured dolphin, rescued by the Clearwater (Flor-ida) Aquarium, and how a prosthetic tail was fabricated for her allowing her to swim and survive and inspire veterans, cancer survivors and accident victims of all ages with her pluck, “Dolphin Tale” covered all the bases.

So “Dolphin Tale 2” feels, in its best moments, like little more than “Winter’s Greatest Hits.” The dolphin is in trouble again, the embattled aquarium faces the threat of losing custody of the dolphins it is rehabilitating, and Morgan Freeman shows up in the third act to complain about how tiny a baby dolphin they’re caring for is: “I pulled anchovies off PIZZAS that were bigger than that!”

Actor-director Charles Martin Smith built his follow-up story around Winter losing her companion dolphin. Aquariums are required to pair up these very social ani-mals as a provision of keeping them. Winter, losing her pal, seems depressed.

The Clearwater Aquarium, spruced up, well-financed and successful now that Winter has become a star attrac-tion, has to find her a friend, a distressed dolphin that isn’t able to return to the wild. Sawyer, her human pal (Nathan Gamble), is so worried about this crisis that he may pass up the chance to attend a sea school where bright, aspir-ing marine biologists can get a taste of what the profes-sion will be like.

Whatever else these films are, Smith, star of “Never Cry Wolf,” gets the righteous work of such aquariums right.

1:44. PG (for some mild thematic elements). HH

MUSIC REVIEWS

Ryan Adams“Ryan Adams”

Ryan Adams says that before he wrote and recorded his new, self-titled album, he scrapped an entirely different record he’d completed with the esteemed English producer Glyn Johns, who earlier had overseen Adams’ “Ashes & Fire” from 2011.

No surprise there: At 39, Adams already has made more music than many — perhaps most — artists twice his age; his catalog is full of limited-edition releases that live in the shadows of his higher-profile projects. What’s unex-pected about “Ryan Adams” if you know the record’s back story, though, is how even-tempered it feels, not at all like the impulsive bloodletting its origin story might suggest.

Featuring a small rock band that includes Tal Wilkenfeld on bass and Ben-mont Tench on organ, the 11-track set has a bigger, more forceful sound than the acoustic “Ashes & Fire”; “Kim” even crests with a noisy guitar solo by Johnny Depp, one of many luminaries known to drop by regularly at Adams’ Hollywood recording studio.

But the handsome melodic hooks and sturdy roots-music grooves, some of which are downright Tom Petty-ish, provide a hard-won equilibrium in songs about searching for relief from unspecified ail-ments. “All my life been shaking, wanting something/Holding everything I had like it was broken,” he sings in the album’s low-slung opener, “Gimme Something Good.”

Whatever Adams was after, he appears to have found it.

n Mikael Wood, Los Angeles Times

Justin Townes Earle“Single Mothers”

Justin Townes Earle, a guitar-wielding practi-tioner of bluesy folk music, comes up short on “Single Mothers,” 10 tracks of wordy Americana with impractical melodies that are hard to

care about.The son of Grammy Award-winning

singer-songwriter Steve Earle has earned his own way musically, releasing five albums. He plays a nice guitar and sings, passably at best, about nice topics. But something rings false about the delivery, as though he’s performing out of his genre and is merely an artistic interloper.

The title track is ostensibly about bro-ken homes, but it’s hard to tell amid the overly verbose lyrical plot line. “Wanna Be A Stranger” is similarly afflicted. The music and pace is fine, and the lyrics themselves are nicely constructed.

Earle just needs someone else to sing them. His effete, indie growl of a voice doesn’t touch your heart well enough to pull you in deeper.

n Ron Harris, Associated Press

Robert Plant“lullaby and… The Ceaseless Roar”

There are the Robert Plant fans firmly in the why-doesn’t-he-just-tour-with-Led Zeppelin camp. Then there are those who admire the for-mer rock god’s post-Zep reign as a rest-less experimenter and global troubadour with little use for nostalgia.

The latter group will find much to appreciate on the stirring, often melan-cholic and thoroughly modern “lullaby and… The Ceaseless Roar.” It’s the first studio album with his versatile recent touring outfit, the Sensational Space Shift-ers. With players from various continents and musical traditions, the band follows effortlessly as Plant leads the charge over the common ground connecting American country and blues, English folk, African rhythm, riff-heavy rock and even elec-tronica.

The opener, “Little Maggie,” is a rein-vention of a traditional Appalachian number popularized in the 1940s by the bluegrass duo the Stanley Brothers. This time that twang isn’t a banjo, rather a one-stringed Gambian instrument called the ritti. The song ends with a surprising but smooth transition to a trip-hop style electro beat. The heaviest track, “Turn It Up,” features Tom Waits-style junkyard percussion and some distorted electric guitar workouts. “House of Love” — a warm ballad with a slow, booming rhythm

— surveys “the damage done” following a shattered relationship.

n Christopher Weber, Associated Press

Cannibal Corpse“A Skeletel Domain”

There’s little doubt that Can-nibal Corpse is an acquired taste.

The legendary death metal band, now in its 26th year, brutally exemplifies the genre and brings all of its elements to the table: gruff vocals, blood-soaked imagery and song titles that can be kindly described as “graphic.”

All that can be cause for concern among the squeamish; in fact, during its history, Cannibal Corpse has been banned from performing in many countries and its CDs have been removed from store shelves by local authorities.

Take a closer past the controversy, however, and you’ll find an always-solid, sometimes-spectacular musical act. The band has been setting the bar higher with each release, and rightfully so: blazing riffs, careening stop-time arrangements, a front-man in George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher who’s alternately a head-whirling madman and standup comic, and arguably the best bassist in the game in Alex Webster.

For “A Skeletal Domain,” the band’s 13th album, the formula contains a few updated ingredients. They’ve brought a new producer on board in Mark Lewis, after three albums (“Torture,” “Evisceration Plague” and “Kill”) with Erik Rutan.

That change hasn’t dulled the band’s ferocity in the least; in fact, it seems to be even more aggressive, and “A Skeletal Domain” is as consistently punishing as

anything the band has released, certainly in the past several years.

Cannibal Corpse shifts from alarming high speed (“Headlong Into Carnage”) to an expanded take on its own invention (the 5-minute-plus “The Murderer’s Pact,” as close to epic in length the band will likely ever tackle.)

“A Skeletal Domain” crushes and rips at the same time. From Cannibal Corpse, we’d expect nothing less.

BANKS“Goddess”

The debut album “God-dess” from BANKS spells trouble for a lot of people. Namely, anyone she opens for on tour and anyone who passed on signing her to their label.

Jillian Banks sings that good and “God-dess” is easily and suddenly one of the best albums of the year. Her luster-tinged voice is mature beyond her 26 years and it’s soulful and heart-wrenching in all the right places. Her pitch-perfect highs and husky whispers meld perfectly with top-shelf production ambience from SOHN on “Alibi” and Shlohmo on the catchy track “Brain.”

Much of the success here is due to gor-geous down-tempo arrangements that set the stage for that voice. It’s all very cool and understated until BANKS hits her vocal stride and builds to a crescendo on “You Should Know Where I’m Coming From,” a tender requiem about going into a warts-and-all relationship with eyes wide open. Quite frankly it’s the most beautiful song I’ve heard this year.

Other notable releases Chris Thile and Edgar Meyer, “Bass & Mandolin” — With the straightforwardly-titled “Bass & Mandolin”, Meyer and Thile are back at their dumbfounding ways, put-ting out a set of ten songs that highlight just how rare their talents are on their instruments. The album captures what it is that makes Meyer and Thile who they are as a duo: melodically fascinating, rhyth-mically unassailable, and exceptionally esoteric. It’s a kind of music that is meant for the cerebral listener first and foremost. This doesn’t make it bad, of course; it

just means that one shouldn’t go into the album expecting an easy ride. – Brice Ezell Interpol - “El Pintor” Sloan - “Commonwealth” Tricky - “Adrian Thaws” Loudon Wainwright III - “Haven’t Gotten the Blues (Yet)” Ballet School - “The Dew Lasts An Hour” Busdriver - “Perfect Hair” Eamon McGrath - “Exile” Pere Ubu - “Carnival of Souls” Orlando Julius - “Jaiyede Afro” American Hi-Fi - “Blood and Lemonade”
