Pets of the week Heinz is a very shy guy who has been looking for his forever family for a long time. Because he is shy and quiet, he seems to get overlooked by potential adopters. Heinz was rescued after he was left behind when his previous family moved away. He just turned 4 years old and would be a great companion for someone looking for a quiet guy. Heinz is up for adoption through Colony Cats and Dogs. FYI: colonycats.org Twitch is 8 months old and was born in a foster home. He loves attention and enjoys a good petting. Twitch is good with other cats and dogs, as long as there is a slow introduction. If you’re interested in this handsome orange tabby, contact Friends for Life Animal Haven. FYI: fflah.org www.columbusmessenger.com These furry friends are available for adoption at local rescues and shelters Church spends her days chasing stuffed mice and relaxing. She likes to bask in the warmth of sun beams. She doesn’t know a stranger and is extremely curious about her surroundings. Church would do best in a household with other kitties. Adopt her from Friends for Life Animal Haven. FYI: fflah.org Dino is a 7-year-old pit bull mix. He is a shy guy who has been quiet and reserved in the shelter.

Dino is housebroken and good with older children. He would do best as an only dog. Adopt Dino from the county shelter. FYI: franklincountydogs.com
www.columbusmessenger.com April 3, 2022 - GROVE CITY MESSENGER - PAGE 11 In Entertainment Charming cast helps “e Lost City” shine Star charisma may be able to elevate a movie, but that factor alone cannot make the experience of watching it enjoyable. If that were the case, there would be so many more good movies out there in the world — and so few actors employed in the industry. “The Lost City” is a film that features stars with charisma, but it does not require them to do the heavy lifting. Instead, its smart and self-aware script works in tandem with the talent of its actors, making this throwback action-adventure romantic comedy one of the most joyous — and enjoyable — theatrical experiences of the year. “The Lost City” follows best-selling romance author Loretta Sage (Sandra Bullock) as she tries to put the finishing touches on the latest installment of her popular Lovemore and Dash series. At this point in her career, all she wants to do is kill off her beloved leads and live a life of solitude as she mourns the unexpected death of her archeologist husband. With the prompting of her pushy manager Beth (Da’Vine Joy Randolph), she is able to wrap up the series and even commit to a small book tour. But any good feelings she may have felt regarding the final book release and tour are squashed when she learns she has to work alongside Alan (Channing Tatum), the himbo book cover hunk known as Dash to his legions of fans. To put it lightly, Loretta cannot stand Alan, aka a “mouth-breathing body wash commercial.” Not only does she feel as if he takes his job too seriously — she constantly critiques his penchant to refer to himself as Dash outside of his book modeling work — but she also feels as if he makes every shared public appearance revolve around him. Take, for instance, the first time the audience is introduced to Alan/Dash. It’s Loretta’s first time in years working a tour circuit and Alan comes out of the back, blonde locks flowing, muscles glistening and begins to gyrate to Europe’s “The Final Countdown.” Though hilarious, one can see why one would hate him if not in the right mood. While Loretta sees this event as “all about Alan,” he does try to turn the attention back to her, especially since he has something of a secret crush on the surly and reclusive author. It’s a good thing too that he pays close attention to her because he is the only witness to her abduction by eccentric billionaire Abigail Fairfax (Daniel Radcliffe). To Abigail Fairfax, Loretta is not just The Reel Deal Dedra Cordle another author of “sad and vapid lady fantasies.” Instead, he believes she has firsthand knowledge of a lost tomb in a lost city that is rumored to harbor a lost priceless artifact known as The Crown of Fire. The reason he believes this? Because she wrote about it in her last Lovemore and Dash novel. Though she tries to tell him he is mistaken, that these books are just a work of fiction, he flies off with her to this nearly uninhabited island so she can get to work deciphering found ancient text that was inexplicably published in her book. While Loretta is dealing with this latest misadventure somewhere in the Atlantic, Alan is mounting a rescue mission somewhere in the States. Though considered by many to be dim, he does have the good sense to ask for assistance from a former Navy SEAL turned meditation instructor (played by Brad Pitt) though those plans are quickly upended. With no survival skills, no fighting skills, and no real life skills at his disposal, it is up to Alan’s unrequited love for Loretta to save the day — and hopefully their lives in the process. “The Lost City” has a lot going for it: an absurdly charming cast, genuinely funny moments and some great scenes of adventure that reminded me of the short-lived television series “Legends of the Hidden Temple.” The best part of this film, however, is the chemistry of the ensemble and not just the chemistry between its main stars, which frankly could have used a little more heat. But every single member of the cast works collaboratively to bring this smart and selfaware script to life which in turn brought forth a real joy to the overall film. It looked like they had a blast making this movie and I believe the majority of the audience will not be able to not get caught up in their enthusiasm for the project as well.

Q: Are contact lenses right for me? A: 9/10 people who wear glasses are good candidates for contact lenses. Contact lenses can correct for nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and even help you decrease your dependency on readers. They can provide a wider field of view and the lenses won’t fog up in cold weather like glasses. Contact lenses are also a great option for when you’re exercising or playing sports where glasses could get in the way. Q: How often should someone who wears contact lenses get an eye exam? A: Someone who wears contact lenses should have a comprehensive dilated eye exam at least once a year. Contact lenses are medical devices and need to be properly fitted and assessed by an eye care professional. Schedule your contact lens exam today with Dr. Morris. 1600 Gateway Circle, Grove City, OH 43123 614-963-3820
