Michael Mann's ''Public Enemies'' treats the legend of John Dillinger with a reverence rarely offered to criminals. But the depression era was a strange time where criminals the likes of Dillinger, the duo of Bonnie and Clyde, and Ma Barker became heroes. In casting Johnny Depp as Dillinger the character is immediately amicable. Even the likeable Christian Bale as Melvin Purvis, Dillinger's main nemesis, isn't going to sway the audience's opinion away from Dillinger. To that en...  Read More

F or my birthday, I told my husband he didn't need to get me anything. Instead I asked that he treat me like a princess (not that he doesn't already).So as I was enjoying this one day out of the year that I get to wear a tiara and order people around, the ''King of Pop'' dies. Nothing could steal my thunder quite like the death of the ''King of Pop!''Like so many others, I have spent the last week thinking about MJ and the impact he had on me. I would have never called myself a ...  Read More

A few weeks before Miss Derringer is set to release their third studio album, guitarist and co-founder of the quintet, Morgan Slade, is on the phone with IN to discuss their new album ''Winter Hill'' and the creation process behind not only the album, but also the band as a whole. ''This record is different than the last two records, because on 'Winter Hill' we are playing with a full band. It's our first record with a real line-up, and we wrote the songs together,'' says Slade. ...  Read More

I've always enjoyed scanning movie credits for all the odd job titles like ''gaffer'' and ''wolf wrangler.'' I do the same thing when I read play programs, only I get to do that before the performance. So on a recent evening, when I noticed that Hale Centre Theatre's production of ''Hello, Dolly!'' credits Kathie Schmid as the milliner, I figured I could probably expect to see a lot of well-designed hats, and waited eagerly for their arrival.I was not disappointed by this turn-of-t...  Read More

It's 10:15 a.m. and I'm sitting on an old church pew within the low-lit maze of Pat's BBQ in South Salt Lake. While I wait for pit master Pat Barber to arrive for an interview, I'm watching shorts- and sneaker-clad employees wheel carts of dry-rubbed ribs and chicken into the kitchen. Others are mopping, others are setting tables; all rushing so purposefully around that you'd think the president was dropping by for a visit. Well, that's almost the case. It's ''burnt ends'' day....  Read More

Last week I had the pleasure of being part of the Fear No Film Jury. A small group of us, which included people in and out of the local film community, gathered in the Salt Lake City Library and spent a better part of our day watching films and then debating the qualities of each film before picking our winners. Obviously, I get to see a lot of films and spout off my opinions about them more often than I'd like, but it is rare that I get to sit in a room for a few hours and r...  Read More

When planning your patriotic apparel for outdoor fun, shop for pieces to accent something you can wear more than one day out of a whole year.A white jumper ($38, Urban Outfitters) is the perfect canvas to color with accessories. A red floppy hat ($44.99 through greathatz.com) with oversized sunglasses and bright red sandals ($78 at Anthropologie) will accent your outfit.Add some blues to the en...  Read More

The hard-drinkin' ''trucker punks'' of The Utah County Swillers -- all of whom actually hail from Utah County, save one Tooele-ite -- make Irish folk look like Mormons with one, single band rule: Never turn down booze. This debaucherous rule has led to week-long benders, hellacious hangovers, and tour fatigue.''That's pretty much what keeps us from touring all the time outside of the fact we all have day jobs,'' says guitarist/vocalist Sweatin' Willie in an e-mail interview.Thoug...  Read More

Hot Dog Bubble Gum$1, Walgreen'sMy husband's coworkers passed this along to give to me. With an urging similar to those old Life Cereal commercials with Mikey, his coworkers said, ''Give it to Amy, she can eat it for IN's We Ate It feature!'' Learning that these didn't actually taste like hot dogs was a relief. But the package says to ''Blow Your Lunch'' which doesn't conjure up a pretty image either. In previous experiences with novelty candy like Gummy Bacon, I've found candy ...  Read More
