Could that apply to other facets of life? Experiencing art for example? Could being hands-on with a piece of artwork help inspire those who feel as if they don’t really understand it. That is just what the new art show at Laramie County Community College might show. “Tasting Boundaries” is coming to the Esther and John Clay Fine Arts Gallery in the Fine Arts Building and features the work of Lea Zoltowski Ertz. The show is described as a multimedia social experience. Participants are encouraged to get out of their comfort zones and interact with the artwork and one another. They will also be able to pick up and manipulate artwork as well as possibly win a piece for a souvenir. Ertz is described as a multimedia sculpture experience artist. Specializing in large sculpture artwork, Ertz has had her artwork featured all over the world from China to England. She has even taught art at Montana State University. Now living in Boulder, Colo., she works as a full-time studio artist. “It’s exciting work,” Matt West, LCCC art instructor and a part of the committee to bring artist to LCCC, said. “The show will give students the opportunity to see how an artist works.” Ertz’s artwork is on display through Feb. 22. A reception will be held on Jan. 31 at noon where attendees can meet the artist, see how some of the sculptures are made and even participate. Cassie Kelley Throw it on the ground! At the gallery attendees can pay a small fee either to take a small sculpture home or smash it on the ground.

But soon after watching “Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters” that thought would be as stupid as entering a van with a creepy bloke inside who offered candy…wait, that’s not right…or is it? Though the similarities between the old and new cautionary tales for children are astounding, this movie was a different take on the Grimm tale about two children lost in the woods who get captured by a witch in a house made of candy. In this version, they brutally murder the witch without hesitation and turn it into a profession. It was considered a “new take” on an “old classic,” but really anything would be. It could be a complex drama in which they become activists who boycott Snickers or even a fun teen comedy. I could not stop thinking of ways it can be “fresh.” Now the best part about writing this review was all the problems fall under the same roof and had the same effect: A movie with this kind of title has zero creativity or spark, and I could not stop thinking of ways it could. Everything from the story about witches stealing children for a cult gathering, the name of the event (the Blood Moon Gathering) to the costumes, dialog, plot points and cleavage were ripped from other horror/action films and an 11-year-old boy’s wet dream. Sitting there, my brain focused less on the screen and more on all the aspects that could’ve made the movie betters: less leather, less high-tech weaponry, more humor, scarier witches, less ancillary-but-still –stickaround characters, maybe more of a Western vibe. I could not stop thinking of ways it could’ve been better. This was all on top of the fact the two leads, Hansel (Jeremy Renner) and Gretel (Gemma Arterton), who were both game, were just too doltish to be likable. They were horrible at their job as I watched them get beat up even fighting one witch. Even any sort of deductive reasoning was whittled to blunt a statement. Jeff Goldblum in “Independence Day” even started somewhere. He couldn’t not stop thinking of ways to kill aliens. Like any bad movie review, this could go on forever. Just know there were no bubble gum smiles, too much leather, hardly any candy houses, and I really wished Hansel would just pick up a bow. It’s funny how cautionary tales for kids can easily become ones for adults.
