ENTERTAINMENT Saturday, October 8, 2016 East Oregonian Page 3C ENTERPRISE BOARDMAN U.S. Navy Band to rock the SAGE Center Fishtrap announces author presenters By TAMMY MALGESINI East Oregonian East Oregonian The U.S. Navy Band Northwest’s rock group Northwest Passage will perform a concert in Boardman. Senior Enlisted MUCS Roy Brown, the group’s assistant director, said the ensemble will perform a variety of songs — from classic rock and Motown to pop and country. “They cover a variety of styles to it a broad base of demographics of where they perform,” Brown said. “There’s so much good music out there.” The group’s repertoire includes the likes of the Dave Matthews Band, AC/DC, Journey, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Boston and Lynyrd Skynyrd, as well as current sounds heard on the radio. The free performance is Friday, Oct. 14 at 7 p.m. in the theater at the SAGE Center, 101 Olson Road, Boardman. “We were so impressed by the Navy Band last time they performed,” said Kalie Davis, SAGE Center manager. “This free concert is a huge beneit to the community and we hope everyone will come out to enjoy the show.” Brown said the group most recently has been performing at a Fleet Week event in San Francisco. The concert in Boardman is a perfect stopover on their way home from those performances, he said. Members of the ensemble, which features ive performers and a sound engineer, play with other A trio of Wallowa County writers will share their works in the irst Fishtrap Fireside of its fourth season. Featured writers include Elizabeth Enslin, Fred Hauptmann and David Weaver. Enslin is the author of “While the Gods Were Sleeping: A Journey Through Love and Rebellion in Nepal,” a 2016 Oregon Book Award inalist. She lives in a straw-bale house and raises yaks, pigs and garlic. Hauptmann’s memoir is “Damn, I Shot My Horse.” He was born in Germany in 1948 and his family immigrated to Canada when he was 5 years old and later to the United States. His life has been tumultuous, sometimes cruel, sometimes funny, but never boring. Weaver lives and writes in Wallowa and this is his irst reading at Fishtrap Fireside. The event is Friday, Oct. 14 from 7-9 p.m. at 400 E. Grant St., Enterprise. There is no admission charge and light refreshments are available. The ireside also includes an open mic for audience members to share their stories. The Fishtrap Fireside is the second Friday of each month from October through April.

Navy Band Northwest plays upwards of 400 performances a year, with North- west Passage typically playing 100 engagements a year. Navy musicians, Brown said, are often busy between rehearsing and performing. Whether it’s learning new songs or brushing up on older set lists, the musicians strive to be the best they can. “Being a musician is one of those things that requires daily practice,” Brown said. The Eastern Oregon audience, Brown said, are in for a real treat. Most of the current Northwest Passage ensemble has been performing together for nearly two years. While that might not seem like a long time, Brown said Navy ensembles often rotate members on a yearly basis. “They are really quite a good ensemble with the time and experi- ence they’ve had as that particular MOVIE REVIEW WHAT TO DO Festivals Oktoberfest Wein & Stein •Saturday, Oct. 8; 5-10 p.m. •Hermiston Conference Center, 415 S.

Leavenworth Oktoberfest DreamWorks Pictures/Universal Pictures via AP In this image released by Universal Pictures, Emily Blunt appears in a scene from “The Girl on the Train.” ‘Girl on the Train’ doesn’t stay on the rails By JAKE COYLE AP Film Writer ate Taylor’s “The Girl on the Train” may be technically set in the Westchester suburb of Ardsley-on-Hudson, but its cocktail of commuter trains, marital inidelity and alcoholism make its proper setting Cheever Country. The unhappy, martini- stained lives of New York suburbanites have long been a rich vein for writers like John Cheever, Richard Yates and Paula Fox. “The Girl on the Train” is the trashier, paperback version. Its old-school title may suggest Hitchcock or maybe Fincher (who himself is remaking Hitchcock’s “Strangers on a Train”). But Taylor’s ilm, disappointingly, is nowhere near the league of either. Instead, it’s closer to the kind of early ‘90s psychological thriller where bad things happen in slow motion and deadly instruments are drawn from kitchen drawers. It’s adapted from Paula Hawkins’ popular London-set novel, the success of which was predicated on comparisons to Gillian Flynn’s “Gone Girl,” a trio of unreliable narrators, all women, and the way it cleverly untwisted female clichés of domestic life: the bitter divorcee (Rachel, played by Emily Blunt), the sexy “other woman” (Megan, Haley Bennett) and the unwitting wife (Anna, Rebecca Ferguson). They are each introduced in their own chapter, but our central igure is Blunt’s boozy, devastated Rachel, the so-dubbed “girl” who by all appearances is suspiciously like a woman. She spends her days riding the Metro North into and out of New York, cursing the suburban “baby factory” while mini liquor bottles fall off her lap. From the tracks, she obsessively gazes at a house where she spies who she believes is the perfect, impossibly handsome couple (Bennett, Luke Evans). From the train she sees hints of an affair or possibly a crime, and begins T “Girl on the Train” ★★☆☆ R, 105 minutes involving herself like a drunk Jimmy Stewart, on the rails instead of conined to a wheelchair. But the tale adds another layer — an incredulous one — to her voyeurism. As it happens, Rachel used to live a few houses down, where her ex-husband (Justin Theroux) now lives with his current wife (Ferguson) and baby. The mystery kicks in when Megan goes missing — another girl, gone. Her character is set up as a kind of slinky femme fatale, who is working as a nanny for Anna down the street. In scenes with her therapist, she sounds like she’s plotting a getaway. “I just can’t be a wife anymore,” she says. Through a boozy fog, the blackout-plagued Rachel believes she knows something about the case. She, herself, is a suspect because of her frequent creeping around her old home and continuous phone calls to her ex. On the night in question, Rachel wakes up mysteriously bloody. Blunt can’t quite pull off the famously dificult task of believably playing drunk; her slurred words and blotchy face are overdone. But it’s her steely presence that gives “The Girl on the Train” the veneer of a ilm better than it is. But Taylor isn’t able to believably blend the overlapping perspectives and “The Girl on the Train” comes across as a lat, predictable puzzle whose characters lip from one extreme to another. Dangerous fantasies of marital bliss are at the heart of “The Girl on the Train.” There’s something worthy beneath the pulpy, preposterous plot that wants to give redemption to some old female stereotypes. But Taylor’s ilm merely shifts awkwardly from one trop to another, like an uncertain passenger changing trains. group,” he said.
