REVIEW
'Bears' offers entertainment for children, adults alike
Sky is not the strongest bear on the planet, however, and because she must always
By Andrew Hoskins entertain@kansan.com
Who wouldn't want a lifestyle of fishing and brawling
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
The bulk of the movie follows a young mother bear, Sky, and her two cubs, Scout and Amber. The movie begins as they emerge from their hibernation hole super high up on a snowy mountain. It's Scout and Amber's first time outdoors, so they have a tough time keeping up with their quick-walking mama. Sky's mission is to lead the cubs to a meadow that is home to several other bears. Once they arrive at the meadow, the cubs are introduced to a sleuth of bears. Some are nice, some are mean, some are cuddly. But none of them escape the watchful eye of the big-daddy Magnus, who serves as the group's scary leader. After some meandering and time-killing at the meadow, the bears move on in search of salmon, which appears to be their favorite food. Sky and the cubs are in tow, of course. They finally arrive at a salmon-rich coastline somewhere and the feast begins
Because of the danger, Sky takes the cubs in search of a pool of water high in the mountains, where the salmon swim upstream to lay their eggs. The pool would be a prime spot for the trio because they can fatten up as much as they want with little interference. When they reach the pool, they find other bears have already staked out the pool, but fortunately there's enough salmon to go around. After presumably spending weeks cramming salmon down their gullets, the bears are fat enough to survive the next winter. Then the film ends. Spoiler alert. There's really nothing to spoil, the quest is worth taking whether you know what happens or not.
by summer and sleeping by winter? Disney's "Bears" does an excellent job of telling the story of the lifestyles, habitats and habits of a pack of bears on the Alaskan Peninsula. We learn a little bit about the bears' social and hierarchal systems, watch them forage and hunt for food and see a couple of really great bear fights.
keep an eye out for the cubs, it's tough for her to hunt and leave them alone and vulnerable around the other bears some of whom are apparently cannibals. Also, a seedy wolf has been stalking the cubs this whole time.
*Bears* is riddled with interesting bear facts and eye-popping scenery from the rarely seen Alaskan Peninsula. There is at least one cool time-lapse
FILM
Whoopi Goldberg plays dying matriarch in movie
"Dying matriarch" might not sound like a dream role for an actress in her 50s, but Whoopi Goldberg's not complaining.
"The View" co-host stars in Lifetime's adaptation of Terry McMillan's "A Day Late and a Dollar Short," in which she's playing Viola Price, who, on learning that her next asthma attack will probably be her last, decides that it's time to straighten out her muddled family, which includes a straying husband (Ving Rhames) and their four grown children.
"Matriarchs agewise have shifted so much" said Goldberg, 58.
The actress, who has one daughter, three grandchildren and became a great-grandmother last month, has different ideas about how she'd handle a prognosis like Viola's.
"People are parents in their 20s, people are parents in their 50s," she said. "I mean, it's crazy. So, the idea that your child, or the person who's playing your child, had to be so much younger than you — well, if you got married at 18, your kids are grown."
"If I got a diagnosis like that — my family knows this — my plan is to head to Greece, because that's where I want to go to die," she said.
And the dying part's OK, too.
"I've died before. I died in another Terry McMillan (project). I died in 'How Stella Got Her Groove Back.' "They're always killing me off," she said, laughing.
Outspoken as she is herself, Goldberg said that she feels "bad for folks like Viola, who realize at that point that she needs to get them in order, who's not kind of been as present as she could be."
They won't need her to stay home to straighten them out?
"I say, 'I'm going to Greece.' they all pack and come. There's no goin off on a mountaintop. The entire brood is going to be there."
Viola let things slide "because she didn't want to know. She didn't want to hear it. She didn't want to get in the way. But she did want to get in the way," said the actress, who admitted that she finds the
character "annoying."
"If your kids are going through that kind of thing and then you decide to get in the middle of it and then you don't tell them what's going on, oh ___ouch," she said, sounding exasperated.
Though she's part of the EGOT club, having won two daytime Emmys and a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony, Goldberg, who's also an executive producer on "A Day Late," insists, "I don't get a lot of offers at all. I go looking for stuff that I'm interested in."
"But I think it's in a funny way a cautionary tale. You see stuff that needs to be done, you better do your maintenance, because you don't know what is going to happen in the future. You never know."
and plenty of close-up bear shots. Overall, it has really impressive camera work.
And with a daily platform on ABC's "The View," she doesn't keep her interests to herself.
"I'll do voices sometimes for my friend Seth Green (of "Robot Chicken"), or I'll do something for some Russian animation that's happening, because they know I'm obsessed. I love it. I love puppets. It's all the things I grew up with. So if they're making a Muppet movie and I'm free, I'm bogarting myself in there."
She's also a sucker for the Muppets, working with them on several occasions and playing herself in the 2011 film "The Muppets."
So, when I asked her, picking randomly from her recent resume, how she came to be the voice of Mrs. Rabbit on ABC's "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland," she replied, "Well, everyone knows I'm a fairy tale and gnome and, you know, unicorn (fan). I believe in all of that."
"It's like this," she said of her work ethic, "if you don't marry well, you have to keep working. And I never married well. I married often (three times), but I never married well."
For "Muppets Most Wanted" she wasn't free, alas. "But I'm in the 'Ninja Turtle' movie," she said, adding, "I'm not a turtle."
Plus, staying home would "drive me crazy."
There is one thing you must know, however. The movie is HEAVILY geared toward very young children. There's nothing terribly sophisticated about this one. It's narrated by John C. Reilly — bizarre choice — in a very childish manner. Despite the childishness, it's still really interesting to watch.
McClatchy Tribune
I personally recommend this movie to young kids, outdoorsmen and bear lovers. If you're a salmon enthusiast, skip this one. Your heart will break.
