STORY
A
step in the Turks’ plan to invade
and conquer Italy. History books
tell us the initial siege was
successful and the city fell to
the Turks but the Italians took it
back the following year. In the
series, Leo must ally with old
foes, mend friendships, discover
hidden secrets and resume
a dangerous quest to protect
everything he loves, knowing
that his most formidable foe is
likely himself.
s the third and final
season of Starz’s “Da
Vinci’s Demons” gets
underway Saturday,
Oct. 24, the Kingdom of
Naples is being invaded by the
Ottoman Turks during the Battle
of Otranto. As the city is pillaged
and his Italian countrymen are
slaughtered, Leonardo da Vinci
realizes some of his inventions
are being used against them
and the designs for them were
stolen by someone he trusted.
And for the first time in two-plus
seasons, the artist, genius and
solver of the world’s mysteries
feels utterly defeated.
Returning stars include Laura
Haddock as Lucrezia Donati;
Blake Ritson as Count Girolamo
Riario; and Elliot Cowan as
Lorenzo Medici.
It’s a storyline the actor who
portrays the great master, Tom
Riley, was itching to play.
“I kept pushing time and time
again to see Leonardo fail,”
the amiable 34-year-old Briton
explains. “It’s great to play the
guy who’s always the smartest
man in the room and always
knows the best way to squirrel
out of any situation. But in this
case, it was getting to the point
where if the audience always
knows he’s going to win and
he’s going to beat whoever else
is around him, then where’s the
drama? And our producer came
around and said, ‘Well, how
about if he actually has to face
the smartest man in the room?
He has to face himself and he
has to take down himself and
he’s always one step ahead of
himself. How can he possibly
beat that guy?’ And that’s why I
think (this is) our best season.”
The new season revolves
around the battle that took place
in 1480-81, which was the first
S
Calling da Vinci the “role of a
lifetime” for its many facets,
Riley demurs on further details
on the series’ final season. But
creator David S. Goyer has
promised that there will be
“symmetry to the entire series
– between the first episode and
the final one,” and Riley says
there will be closure for the fans
in more than 150 countries.

“That’s been the most exciting
thing, how impassioned the
fans are,” he says. “The people
who know the show love it so
much, so it’s been great. And
I think people have been very
disappointed to hear that it’s
over but I think they’ll be happy
with how we’ve managed to
end it on our own terms. You
know, people aren’t going to feel
like they’re being cut off in the
middle, that all the characters
will come to the end of their
arcs and the story will come to
a satisfying conclusion. So we’re
paying the fans back for their
investment like that.”

Jay Bobbin’s Q&A
JamesBrolin
of ‘Life in Pieces’ Monday on CBS
Your “Life in Pieces” character had an
attention-getting start as the subject of
a mock funeral. Was that uncomfortable
for you to play?
I had heard about people doing this in
the past, trying to pull this off where
everybody gets to speak about your life
before you’re dead ... but in reading this
script, what fascinated me mostly, it was
like a blackout show where the punch line
is funny. The scene isn’t ended when you
cut out of it, (it’s) almost serialized.
That’s what I love about this show. You
never quite are satisfied, but you end up
wanting more. I only hope we keep up with
the qualities that the first (episode) had
and we’re here a lot longer than 13.
What’s the main appeal for you in
doing comedy?
I love characters, first of all. As you know,
I’ve played a few. Every once in a while,
they hire me for something decent. Sitcom
is not my area of expertise, although I was
raised in a family that was never serious
about anything.
My dad had a 5:00 post-time with these
pina coladas with these umbrellas and a
big piece of pineapple, and everything was
just kind of a cute answer. Everything my
dad taught was just silly.
How did your wife – whose name
happens to be Barbra Streisand
– respond to the news of your going
back to series work?
Oh, she says, “Oh, boy, great! Go to work.
Get out of the house. Get out of that
hammock.” Malibu in the summer in the
hammock? Even in the winter, it’s just too
good. I’m just surprised I’m working.

Teyonah
Parris
of
‘Survivor’s
Remorse’
Saturday
on Starz
Is your character, Missy,
thinking of her family’s sudden
riches as a ride to be enjoyed
while it lasts or a permanent
situation?
Missy came from money. Missy went to an
Ivy League school. She’s never lacked for
anything, so I think this is very interesting
to watch this family, the family of her
husband, come into this money and sort
of try to temper them a little, like “Hey, this
may be a smarter way to handle things” or
be the moral center at times. But yeah, it
doesn’t faze her in any crazy kind of way
because she’s always had money, she’s
always been OK.
Was that your real hair being cut in the
season premiere?
No. Absolutely not. ... I went through that experience
personally where I did really cut my hair, from my own life.
But on the show we use wigs and more wigs and more wigs
to depict that. But I was really excited that they decided to go
with that (storyline).
Particularly with women of color, exploring who they are
outside of your ... ideals of beauty has never really been
shown to us on television. So I told (executive producer) Mike
O’Malley, “You don’t understand how important this is.” If I
would have had something like this when I was going through
this to know that what I’m feeling and what I’m dealing with is
not exclusive to me, it would have helped me in so many ways.
So I’m so excited that they’re actually going to explore that.

no?

You talked to some of the people who actually lived in
Los Alamos in 1945. That had to be fascinating.
It was incredible and so moving. You know, we’ve been reading all sorts of
material, everything we could get our hands on, especially during Season 1. It was
something that was so viscerally moving in a way that you can’t read about.
The women walked around the set. ... One of them walked into our house and
suddenly went (gasps), and we were like, “What?” And she just said that the
cabinets looked exactly the same and it was sort of startling for her to look into our
kitchen and see the cabinets. And she just had this very visceral reaction to the
way that they looked.

The costumes, hair and makeup.
The sets. It’s all been this
incredible unity of things ... . I
feel like we’re cheating. We don’t
have to do anything but show up
and be in the moment and know
our incredible lines that tell the
story for us. ...
And on top of that, New Mexico
is a very strange state, thanks in
part to ... there are two important
histories that happened there.
There’s a very extensive Native
American history that happened
all across New Mexico. And also
the Manhattan Project, I think,
so greatly affected the energy
in that state. Truly, you can feel
it everywhere. There are a lot
of very spiritual people in and
across New Mexico, which we’ve
all had different experiences
with. And they all have a very
deep connection to the land
there and how strange it is and
how it feels to be shooting there.
It just adds a layer of authenticity
to everything we’re doing. And
most of us had never been there
before either.

F
ramps up the pressure on
Food Network’s
‘Chopped: Impossible’
Expect tempers to flare, tears to be shed and trash to be talked when Food
Network’s newest four-part tournament of “Chopped” begins Thursday, Oct.
22.
“Chopped: Impossible” brings back 12 “Chopped” champions to compete
against one another in a four-part tournament that features the show’s
traditional ingredient baskets. The three chefs that emerge victorious from
the first trio of episodes advance to the finale, where one will win $15,000
and the chance to go up against chef Robert Irvine, one of the series’
judges, in a wild-card round and possible earn another $25,000.
On the panel of judges with Irvine are Maneet Chauhan, Scott Conant,
Amanda Freitag, Alex Guarnaschelli, Aaron Sanchez, Chris Santos and
Geoffrey Zakarian. Ted Allen is the host.

“I don’t have to be nice,” Irvine says of his role as competitor. “It’s a competition to go against me. I smack talk a lot
with the people in a very professional manner, critique the way I would critique any restaurant or any chef and expect
the same back. You know, it’s not a one-way street. So it’s the voice of a chef going against the voice of a chef and
everybody has an opinion, so the pressure, I can tell you, is literally like a pressure cooker and I mean that. I wouldn’t be
surprised if you saw some tears, you saw some frustration or some anger.”
The degree of difficulty is also ramped up here, as the infamous baskets contain even more bizarre and incongruous
ingredients. In the premiere episode, that means whipped topping, offal and something called “stinky cookies.”
“They have the toughest baskets that I’ve ever seen,” Irvine says, “and rightly so because these guys are professional
chefs, they’re all champions and the like. But it’s just a very intense competition from day one.
“And it’s interesting,” he continues, “any competition, everybody’s nice and friendly at the beginning and they all laugh
and joke and talk and kiss and talk and, you know, make up. And then you see as the competition goes on and it gets
tougher, they’re not so nice because they all want to win. This is a big prize. It’s $40,000 total if you win against me and
bragging rights till you beat me.”
What book are
you currently
reading?
“I’m reading ‘Fit
Fuel,’ my new book
that I wrote. It just
launched. ... It’s
a chef’s guide to
being healthy but
a contract with
yourself.”
What did you have
for dinner last night?
“I had roast chicken and
mashed potatoes in
(Washington), D.C., at
the Wardman Park hotel.
I was actually cooking
a dinner. I had chicken,
they had steak.”
What is your next project?
“I have a food line that’s in
the military. I have a food line
that’s in retail and I’m just about
to launch a clothing line, an
athletic clothing line, to retail
and all the proceeds go into my
501C3 charity that I work with
Gary Sinise on to build homes
for our wounded warriors, our
veterans.”
When was the last
vacation you took, where
and why?
“My last vacation was in
Aruba last year with my wife
at Christmas for 11 days. It
was amazing. I stayed at the
Radisson there and, oh my
goodness, what an amazing
place. Amazing people. It’s
great. Love it.”

Jeff
Gordon
NASCAR and winemaking are two words you don’t normally see in the
same sentence – unless that sentence is about Jeff Gordon.
Yes, the 44-year-old four-time Sprint Cup champion, future racing retiree
and competitor in the Sunday, Oct. 18, Hollywood Casino 400 (on NBC), is
the owner and proprietor of Jeff Gordon Cellars, which has been producing
award-winning small-lot boutique wines since 2004.
But his interest in wines and vineyards dates back much farther.
Full name: Jeffrey Michael Gordon
Date of birth: Aug. 4, 1971
Birthplace: Vallejo, Calif.
Hometown: Pittsboro, Ind.
Height/weight: 5 feet
7 inches/150 pounds
Family: Has two children, 8-yearold Ella and 5-year-old Leo, with
second wife Ingrid
Racing credentials: Cup champion
in 1995, 1997, 1998 and 2001;
three-time Daytona 500 champion;
third on all-time wins list with 92
career Cup victories; five-time
Brickyard 400 winner; 80 career
poles (third all-time)
“Well, I’m from Vallejo, California, which is the next town over from Napa,”
Gordon explains. “And as a kid, just driving through the vineyard area and
wondering what it was all about and just being kind of in awe of the beauty
in that area and then later in life, getting the chance to enjoy some great
meals and some great wine. And a good friend of mine in the business who
was handling our PR at the time was into wine, and he said, ‘Hey, have you
ever thought about doing your own wine?’ And he kind of talked me into
doing it and so we’ve been doing it since 2003-2004 and have enjoyed.”
Gordon initially got into wine after winning his first Cup title in 1995. He was
at a restaurant in London celebrating the milestone when he was handed a
wine list. After taking one sip of the white burgundy he ordered, his love of
fine wine was born.
And though he started out as a white drinker, these days he prefers red.
“I like a really good blend with a cabernet sauvignon base and maybe a
little merlot/syrah blend in there,” he says. “But some of the best wines in
the world are blends even though we don’t always know it and they don’t
always say that on the bottle, even some of the top bourdeaus. I mean, I
definitely love cab but I prefer just to mix it with a little bit of something that
you can blend it with that just kind of smooths it out and really creates great
balance.”

Hallmark Channel movie “Jesse Stone: Lost in Paradise.”

Tom
Selleck
continues a
career Hallmark
in new ‘Jesse
Stone’ mystery
By Jay Bobbin
“Two years. Where you been?”
It’s actually been three years-plus in real time, but those
are the first words spoken – by William Devane, back
in his role as a therapist – to Tom Selleck’s (and late
novelist Robert B. Parker’s) loner-lawman title character
in “Jesse Stone: Lost in Paradise,” the new Hallmark
Channel movie reviving the franchise in which Selleck
made eight previous films for CBS. Debuting Sunday, Oct.
18, the drama also will be shown the following Sunday on
Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.
Also co-written by Selleck with Michael Brandman (his
fellow executive producer on the “Stone” movies as well),
the new story takes the personally troubled small-town
police chief to Boston to consult on a murder case. The
presumed perpetrator has been captured, but Stone
believes there’s more to the matter that imperils more
lives. Gloria Reuben also reprises her part from earlier
”Stone” tales, with Leslie Hope (who has appeared with
Selleck on CBS’ Friday drama series “Blue Bloods”) and
Luke Perry as cast additions.
Selleck and Sony Pictures Television made with Hallmark.
“I kind of said, ‘I won’t do it otherwise,’ ” the “Magnum,
P.I.” Emmy winner muses. “Let alone play this guy again,
I haven’t written this kind of thing in a long time. I was
faced with a blank page, which was kind of frightening.
It just was a lot, and I was going, ‘Can I do this?’ By the
time I finished the script, I felt very, very good about it.”
The movie was made in Halifax, Nova Scotia, last spring
(for “about a million” dollars less than Selleck had to work
with previously, he allows) while the star was on hiatus
from his weekly job ... which came in handy for another
pivotal piece of “Lost in Paradise” casting. A cafe owner is
played by Amelia Rose Blaire, also seen last season on
“Blue Bloods” (now in its sixth year on CBS) as a survivor
of family murders who was given away at the altar by
New York Police Commissioner Frank Reagan (Selleck).
“I was absolutely blown away by her,” Selleck recalls. “In
the time you have to do television, I said, ‘This actress is
wise beyond her years.’ I was in the middle of writing this
‘Jesse Stone’ then, so guess what? I wrote for her. I gave
her a boxed set of the (earlier) movies and said, ‘Just
know the part’s going to come to you first,’ and I was able
to write to her talent. And she took it and made a really
three-dimensional character.”
“We owe a lot to Hallmark,” Selleck says. “They’ve been
running ‘Jesse Stone’ marathons on weekends, and they
do it over and over again – and they perform. It was a
real blessing that they let us pick up where we left off. I
think they’re trying to broaden their array of movies, and
this certainly has a lot more edge than some of the things
they’ve done. And they let us do it.”
With usual director Robert Harmon also back, “Lost in
Paradise“ is the first in a two-picture “Jesse Stone” deal
S
A sign of what keeps “Jesse Stone” unique for television
is the “Lost in Paradise” opening, a Selleck-Devane
conversation that lasts about three minutes before the
credits appear. That helps reintroduce what Selleck terms
“the mystery of Jesse and where he’s at – and that’s a
big deal, with his toxic problems. That seems to hold the
audience until the mystery of what he’s involved in takes
hold. With three years passed, we had to re-establish this
universe before we could get into the story.”

Illeana
Douglas
S
showcases film’s
‘Trailblazing Women’
in TCM series
By Jay Bobbin
A woman’s place is in film: So believes Illeana Douglas,
and she has the background to say it.
The granddaughter of the late actor Melvyn Douglas
has made her own place in entertainment as an actress,
producer and director, in projects including “GoodFellas”
and her 1996 showcase “Grace of My Heart.” She wants
more female employment in films – a big reason she’s
showcasing those who have come before as the host
of “Trailblazing Women,” a series of related movies and
interviews running Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout
October on Turner Classic Movies. She’ll return with more
editions the next two Octobers, in a partnership between
TCM and Women in Film/Los Angeles.
“I have more than the usual tie to female directors,”
Douglas notes, “and I’ve really gone out on a limb to try
to support them and work with them. I’ve seen sexism
firsthand, how troubling it is. I lost a directing job, and I ran
into the people (behind the project) a few months later,
and they said, ‘Well, we didn’t go with a woman. But we
went with a gay man, which was maybe just as close.’ And
I thought, ‘Hmm. That’s not exactly a woman, but ... OK.’
“Some of the things that were happening in films
(previously, where female talents were concerned) are still
happening today,” adds Douglas. “As we got into the 1980s
and 1990s, we got to this peak of, ‘Gee, it feels like we’ve
arrived.’ In the 1930s, there was Dorothy Arzner, then
there was Ida Lupino – and there wasn’t another female
director until Elaine May at the start of the 1970s. (The
aim is to) present that to people in a way that is shocking,
because it should be.”
Two filmmakers who made their marks after that, Amy
Heckerling (“Clueless”) and Julie Dash (“Daughters of the
Dust”), are Douglas’ ‘Trailblazing Women” co-hosts the
week of Oct. 18. Penny Marshall’s “A League of Their
Own,” the late Nora Ephron’s “Sleepless in Seattle” and
Leslie Harris’ “Just Another Girl on the IRT” are among
the contemporary attractions screened.
However, Douglas reasons that now, “It’s as if we’re
back to the 1930s with, ‘Well, there’s one woman
director. Why do we need any more?’ I think we have
to figure out how we got here, to understand what
happened. You can’t just assign a woman to a project,
then go, ‘OK, we’re done.’ ”
Also the author of a memoir being published next month
(“I Blame Dennis Hopper”), Douglas surely isn’t alone
in championing more female hires in the movie and TV
industries. Last May, the American Civil Liberties Union
filed grievances over the alleged lack of opportunities
for women directors, and according to a recent
report, less than 4 percent of the American Society of
Cinematographers’ membership is female.
“What concerns me,” Douglas reflects, “is that you’re
missing out on the work of Amy Heckerling. You’re
missing out on the work of Allison Anders (who directed
‘Grace of My Heart’). You’re missing out on the work of
Martha Coolidge (‘Valley Girl’). Their bodies of work, I
feel, have been cut short in a way that seems unfair.”

Fishing,
Hawaiian
style on
‘Pacific
Warriors’
By George Dickie
Pictured: Isaac Brumaghim
For those for whom fishing in frigid double-digit seas in
the Bering Sea or off the U.S. East Coast isn’t dangerous
enough, there is “Pacific Warriors.”
Premiering Friday, Oct. 23, on Discovery Channel, the
six-episode hourlong series follows the efforts of seven
teams of men and women as they fish for big game
from sea kayaks in the waters around Hawaii, using little
more than rods, reels, harpoons and their bare hands.
For some, this has been a way of life in their families for
generations.
Some do it for recreation or to feed their families; others
sell their catch. A 100-pound yellowfin tuna, for instance,
can fetch $1,500 on the open market.
But the dangers are many for these men and women in
their paddle-powered crafts. Sharks, of course, are an
ever-present threat; so are high seas. There is also the
prospect of being towed out to sea by a monster fish in
what the locals call a “Hawaiian Sleigh Ride.” And then
there are the humpback whales.
That’s right, humpback whales.
“It has never happened to me or anybody I know,” says
Isaac Brumaghim, one of the fishermen who appears
on the series, “but I see whales out there, I see them
jumping. It’s all about luck and hopefully it’s not a matter
of time before it smashes a person but they’re out there
jumping around. I have no idea if they know where they’re
jumping or if they really care, if they’re laughing at us. So
yeah, anytime I see a whale launching out of the water,
it’s time to just like dig out, go paddle somewhere else
and get out of his range.”
For Brumaghim, who came to fame in 2013 when his
YouTube video of a shark jumping after a tuna he was
fighting went viral, kayak fishing was self-taught. With no
elders to teach him, the Oahu native befriended divers,
boaters and anglers and sought their wisdom. From there,
he applied what he learned to fishing from a kayak – a
relatively new sport at the time – and eventually started
his own tournament.
For him, it’s a way of providing for himself and a source of
fun.
“It’s really a connection back to my culture of being
Hawaiian,” he says. “It reminds me of ancient Hawaiians,
they paddle out with no motor, being out there in the
ocean. Those things really take me back, and I love to just
sit out there sometimes and imagine what it would be like
to be in ancient Hawaii on a canoe – until my phone rings
or something.”
“One of the greatest things for me always is to come
home with fish and not always just sell it. A lot of times it’s
to share it and to make other people happy. That’s what
drives me to go out there and continue doing what I do.”

experimenting with thunderstorms on them. Safely, of
course! My dad was a firefighter for 34 years, so that was
really cool for me.”
Seen regularly as a weekend-morning anchor, the lively
Weather Channel meteorologist is getting free rein for her
enthusiasm for forecasting in “Kait Parker Explains the
Universe” ... a component of the Facebook page for “Three
Scientists Walk Into a Bar,” the channel’s recently returned
Sunday series that explains various elements of weather
simply.
Musing that she knows she’s “an animated person,”
Parker uses a plasma ball to illuminate a light bulb and
puts liquid nitrogen on whipped cream (“It produces
smoke out of your mouth ... it’s so neat”) in some of her
other “Three Scientists” segments.
Just watch Parker discuss lightning, using bountiful body
language and self-generated sound effects, and it’s clear how
much she’s enjoying the gig. “It’s a dream come true for me,”
she confirms. “I love the idea that media is evolving. I’m so
excited about what the future holds for it, and I love having
a platform to be able to let my nerd side fly. Words cannot
describe how much fun having the ability to experiment and to
explain these phenomena of the universe is for me.”
Parker also will appear in the on-air Nov. 22 episode of
“Three Scientists,” which centers on “Electric Weather” as
she teams with Anthony Carboni (a host of the series, along
with Travis Taylor and Tara Long). “We were in Decatur, Ala.,”
Parker reports, “and we had the local fire department come
out. We used some of their rookies as test subjects, and they
were trying so hard to keep their composure as we were
Formerly employed by television stations in West Palm
Beach, Fla., and Montgomery, Ala., she maintains her
“ultimate life goal” is to help people understand weather
better. “My mom is a math teacher, so I’m sure you can
imagine the very nerdy conversations we always had at
the dinner table. I think she’s a tremendous influence on
me, because she is so passionate about her students and
explaining things.
“I think you can make everything digestible,” notes
Parker. “This isn’t a series for kids, but hopefully, there
are students out there who see this and it inspires them
to be their weird and passionate selves – and to explore
more about the world around them. Learning is inherent
in our human nature, and we just have so much love
for it. Unfortunately, mine comes off a little exuberantly
sometimes.”

By Dan Ladd
As much as the attention went to the
quarterback during Ohio State’s
2014-15 college football post-season
run, the real workhorse of the
Buckeye’s offense was then sophomore
running back Ezekiel Elliott. Ohio State
visits Rutgers Saturday, Oct. 24, on
ABC.
Certainly the heroics of Elliott’s
teammate, third string quarterback
Cardale Jones, can’t be denied.
However, it was Elliott’s legs that did
the real damage to opposing defenses,
thus setting up Jone’s passing game.
In the Big Ten championship game,
with the Buckeyes hopes of making the
first college football playoff still in the
balance, Elliott ripped off 220 yards
and two touchdowns in a blowout win
over Wisconsin that propelled Ohio
State into the Final Four.
In the semi-final victory over Alabama
in the Sugar Bowl he scored another
pair of touchdowns and galloped
for 230 yards. Saving his best for
last, he found the end zone four
times and rushed for 246 yards in
the Championship game thrashing
of Oregon. Winning the National
Championship capped a miraculous
season in which Elliot gained 1,878
yards and scored 18 touchdowns
while averaging 6.9 yards per carry;
the second best overall season by a
Buckeye’s running back behind Eddie
George.
EzekielElliott
While the 100-yard games keep piling
up this season, Elliott’s efforts have
once again been over-shadowed by
the Buckeye’s multiple quarterback
situation. Still, when duty calls those
quarterbacks can just hand the ball
to this likely future NFL-er and let him
take it from there. That’s as good a
formula as any if the Buckeyes intend
to defend their crown.

JAY BOBBIN's Theatrical movie review
review
Johnny
Depp
is a riveting Whitey
Bulger in ‘Black
Mass’
It’s a given that Johnny Depp is going to own “Black
Mass,” but it’s impressive how much solid support he
gets.
By its nature, the true story of South Boston mob figure
James “Whitey” Bulger has to give the actor in that role
plenty to sink his teeth into, so complex is the character
... alternately tender and brutal, depending where and at
whom he’s aiming his attention at any given time. Depp
makes the most of the opportunity, helped to no small
end by the makeup team, but the emotional force he
gives the part is all his.
His tale is mirrored largely through others in his universe
– former associates who inform on his activities, or those
who have other connections to him. A prominent one is
the FBI man played by Joel Edgerton, a childhood friend
who sees Bulger as a great avenue to bring down an
Italian underworld faction. In turn, Bulger basically gets a
free pass on his own illegal activities.
Then, there’s Bulger’s brother Billy (Benedict
Cumberbatch), a bigwig in Massachusetts politics who
also turns the other cheek when it comes to his sibling’s
actions. When you see how many people were enablers
for Bulger, with their own agendas for being such, you
understand how he could evade prosecution for so long.
Of course, that came to an end a couple of years ago,
but director Scott Cooper (“Crazy Heart”) keeps his
focus on the earlier aspects that have given Bulger such
notoriety. Kevin Bacon, Dakota Johnson (“Fifty Shades
of Grey”), Peter Sarsgaard, Julianne Nicholson, Corey
Stoll and Jesse Plemons (“Friday Night Lights,” “Fargo”)
are among the other performers contributing skillfully to
“Black Mass,” but there’s no question the movie is built
for Depp.
Whether it’s Captain Jack Sparrow, Edward Scissorhands
or any of the other screen challenges he’s tackled,
when he immerses himself fully, the effect generally
is breathtaking. That’s surely the case with his Whitey
Bulger, who turns from sympathetic to vicious on a dime
... and Depp unquestionably is headed toward award
territory for his work here.
If you look at “Black Mass” as a whole, it has much in
common with other modern gangster pictures that are
iconic – “The Godfather” and “GoodFellas,” very notably
– so the total film might seem less remarkable than it
should. Cooper knows what he’s doing, though, and not
the least of that is to let Depp do what Depp does.
That alone makes “Black Mass” one of the season’s most
important, and potentially most enduring, movies.

“Frankenstein”
(1931): The original,
which spawned at least
14 takeoffs, is a blackand-white film of true
beauty. Yes, it’s a bit
slow at times, but Boris
Karloff became a star
from this, as the man/
monster made from
spare parts. Based on
Mary Shelley’s chilling
book, this has several
poignant scenes, such
as when the lonely
blind man befriends the
monster and when he
accidentally drowns the
little girl.
“Dracula” (1931):
This wonderful movie
also gave the world the
Hungarian accent now
associated with vampires.
Bela Lugosi, who plays
the vampire in an elegant
yet melancholic way, was
from Austria-Hungary and
had a thick accent. Lugosi
had honed the character,
based on Bram Stoker’s
chilling novel, by playing
him on Broadway for three
years before taking him
to the screen, and it’s the
part with which he was
forever identified.
“King Kong” (1933):
Forget those pale
impersonations that came
later. Sure, the Jessica Lange
vehicle of 1976 now feels
oddly sentimental because
of the World Trade Center
scenes. And the less said
about Peter Jackson’s version
two years ago, the better, but
really, an ice-skating Kong?
Watch the real deal, as the
big ape scales the Empire
State Building and tears down
elevated trains. Watch with the
lights out, and marvel at what
early filmmakers did with a
small model and stop-motion
camera work. Ah, it was
beauty that killed the beast.
H
“The Wolf Man” (1941):
Lon Chaney is superb in this
tragic tale of an innocent
besieged by urges over which
he has no control. As Sir John
Talbot says, “Even a man who
is pure of heart and says his
prayers by night, may become a
wolf when the wolfsbane blooms
and the autumn moon is bright.”
“Creature From the Black
Lagoon” (1954): Well, we’ve had
a monster made from spare
parts, one who lives off the
blood of others, a humongous
gorilla and a man who’s also
part wolf, certainly we need a
monster from the deep to round
out the group.

Make a Wreath with Scary
Googly Eyes
Create a spooky entrance for guests this Halloween season with
a decorative wreath that will make even the prettiest door seem
downright scary.
TOOLS
3Paintbrush
3Hot-glue gun
MATERIALS
3Styrofoam wreath form
3Black acrylic paint
3Black feather boa
315 to 20 Ping-Pong balls
3Permanent markers in
various colors (or paint pens)
3Floral pins
Paint wreath form
Paint wreath form with black acrylic paint. Set aside. You
don’t have to get super-even coverage as most of the form
will be camouflaged by the feather boa.
Draw Pupils
While waiting for the paint to dry on the wreath, start
working on the creepy eyeballs. Use a permanent marker
to draw a circle with a little notch taken out of it (almost
like a Pac-Man shape) in the middle of a Ping-Pong ball.
This will create a catch-light in the eye which makes it look
more realistic. Color in the shape.
Make It Pop
Choose an eye color (blue, green or brown) to make
the iris. Follow the circle that you already created for the
pupil with the colored marker. To complete the catch-light,
create another notch in the iris, lined up with the notch you
already made in the pupil. This should give you a full circle
of white in between the pupil and iris.
Add Creep Factor
To make the eyeballs look a little creepy, use a red marker
to draw veins on the side of the eyeball. Start at the bottom
of the eye going upward toward the pupil and iris. Repeat
the whole process until you have enough eyeballs.
Attach Pin
Add a bead of hot glue to a floral pin, and attach the floral
pin to the back of the eyeball. Repeat for the rest of the
eyeballs.
Attach the Boa
When the paint on the wreath is dry, wrap the feather boa
around it and secure it with floral pins.
Attach the Eyeballs
Using the pins on the back of eyeballs, attach the eyeballs
randomly around the wreath.
Happy Halloween!
Greet trick-or-treaters in style with your door wreath.
Don’t Skip the Details
Add a darker color to the iris to create detail in the eye. If
you started with light blue, use a darker blue to add extra
lines and marks like a real iris.
