Butterfly Effect, The Rating: (2.5 Stars) Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Ashton Kutcher. For those of you who thought him nothing more than the mutt on That 70's Show, please look again. He is a smart and talented young actor, with loads of talent, tal-ent, as well as that "X" variable vari-able that only Demi Moore knows about. Watch him closely, he's going to do great things. . Now, that said, The Butterfly Butter-fly Effect wasn't the greatest thing I had hoped it would be. I really wanted to love this movie and I only ended up liking it. The premise is that Kutcher's character, is someone some-one who can move back in time to traumatic events in his life, and in doing so he is able to take with him his adult understanding of the situation as it will be. In going back to these life- ant Grove is going w pr an unusual theater experience. experi-ence. Audiences are encouraged encour-aged to say "I do" to a wacky, tacky evening of interactive theater. 'Tony n Tina's Wedding-will Wedding-will open Feb. 12 and run every Thursday, Friday and Saturday until Feb. 28 at The Grove. "Tony n Tina's Wedding" Wed-ding" is still tying the knot in New York, Chicago, Australia and the U.K. It is an international interna-tional hit that has lasted ana now man Utah County. This particular type of theater's the-ater's origin stems from an improvisational base. This type of theater is called long-form long-form improv. Improv comedy is presented in the form of scenes and exercises. The purest form of improv, the scene is a short theatrical piece comprised of character, environment, and plot that is able to stand on its own. The creators, Artificial Intelligence, found the premises prem-ises of a wedding gave all characteristics for a great long form improv scene. "Tony n Tina's Wedding" flows through the arrival of the wedding party and wedding guests, to the ceremony, and reception. The audience, which becomes family and friends of Tony or Tina, will meet and share stories with actors who are Tony and Tina's mother, father, grandmother grand-mother or cousin from Italy (who only speaks Italian). The theater guests are not just audience members, they Tonv 'n Tina's Wedding' offers fun ,v, f February are part of the family. There andf ' t V,p month of February, i , ui .

However, How-ever, the ripples that his sin-, gle actions create are beyond his knowing, and the consequences conse-quences are devastating. He attempts these psychic road trips multiple times, sometimes for serious things, and other times for nothing more than' to prove" he can do it, but each time with unforeseen unfore-seen consequences. His persistent failures keep us guessing and the story moving along, for most of the show. The writing is good, although the story is doubtful in a few key moments: However with each new "reality" the actors get to play their characters in a whole new light, There are also changes in costumes, makeup and even speech patterns. The movie is a fascinating look at our memories, , and the events those memories are made from, and how they influence our lives. ' The Butterfly Effect is a strangely created thriller, with an almost perfectly interwoven story line, and an impressive cast of characters. It is tightly drawn, and well acted. However, the rating is well deserved. There are multiple mul-tiple instances of nudity involving, sex, profanity, vulgarity, vul-garity, violence, child abuse and animal cruelty. This movie is about traumatic events in one persons life, and we get, to experience them with him. While the movie didn't end the way I wanted it to, it still had a satisfying completion. This movie may not be for everyone, but Ashton Kutcher is a face" worth looking out for in the future, even if his past leaves something to be desired. -'ITT WJBBIU? WBBXIS - , rl . .

"Tony n Tina's Wedding" can be different every evening, because the audience will give the actors different things to react from. The preparation for this play is like no other. Instead of a playwright giving the actor a complete description of the character and then the actor presenting material that is written out, the actors in this play have had to develop their own characters from scratch. They have worked on relationship with each other, decided where they live down to every detail. They have had to come up with life stories for their characters that will be shared with the audience. One of the exercises that the actors had to do was go bowling in character, so they could learn to interact with regular people and stay in character. Without dialog from a playwright, the actors had to work very hard to make their character come to life. Audience members can pick a certain character to watch all night or they can watch all sorts of things go on all night.
