Though Not Necessarily By Design, Astros Draft Featured A Run On A Position of Need

A cursory glance at the 40 selections made by the Houston Astros in the first-year player draft earlier this week doesn’t yield much in the revelation of definitive trends excluding perhaps the 33 college players drafted, a whopping 32 in succession following the selection of Juanita (Washington) High School right-hander Jayson Schroeder in the second round (93rd overall).

A deeper dive, however, offers a glimpse at something noteworthy if not outright strategic. Half of the Astros’ draftees were right-handed pitchers, including six of their first dozen selections. Stuffing the farm system with a glut of right-handers isn’t necessarily groundbreaking in approach, but given where the Astros stand relative to the depth of quality righties in their organization, bloating the minors with arm talent qualifies as an intelligent assessment of odds.

Mike Elias, assistant general manager, player acquisition, aligned the Astros’ draft philosophy with the standard pursuit of the best talent available, especially in the earlier rounds of the draft when prime talent is at a premium. Even if the Astros can be described as bereft at a particular position in the system, their draft board wasn’t shaped by filling any specific needs.

“These guys take a while to get to the big leagues; you never know what your major-league roster construction is going to look like,” Elias said. “Case in point: We took Alex Bregman (second overall in 2015) while we had Carlos Correa playing for us and it didn’t faze us to draft another shortstop. We don’t like to worry about that (filling a position of need) too much.”

Still, stockpiling right-handers who fill the desired requirements of having “good stuff, good performance, and good command” addressed an area of attrition within the farm system.

The Astros feature two right-handed pitchers among the top 100 prospects across baseball according to MLB.com: Forrest Whitley and J.B. Bukauskas, rated seventh and 68th, respectively. Whitley, a product of Alamo Heights High School (San Antonio, TX), was a first-round selection (17th overall) by the Astros in 2016; Bukauskas was tabbed 15th overall out of the University of North Carolina the following year. The Astros’ ranks have been thinned by a series of trades jettisoning prospects in exchange for veterans capable of bolstering the major-league roster.

Right-hander Justin Verlander and catcher Brian McCann were instrumental in the Astros securing their first World Series pennant last season, but the trades to acquire both cost the organization right-handed pitching prospects currently ranked among the top 100 by MLB.com. The Astros shipped Franklin Perez (No. 33) to Detroit as part of the package to land Verlander at the waiver deadline last season. On Nov. 17, 2016, the Astros traded Albert Abreu to the Yankees in exchange for McCann. Abreu is currently rated 65th among all prospects in baseball.

Throughout the majors, there are a number of young right-handers and former Astros farmhands making inroads. Mike Foltynewicz, sent to Atlanta on Jan. 14, 2015 as part of a package to land Evan Gattis, fired a two-hitter against the Nationals for his first career shutout on June 1. Vince Velasquez, central to the haul that brought closer Ken Giles to Houston on Dec. 12, 2015, leads Phillies starters averaging 11.2 strikeouts per nine innings. Daniel Mengden owns a 123 adjusted ERA over his last 20 starts with the Oakland Athletics, who traded southpaw Scott Kazmir to the Astros in order to secure Mengden on July 23, 2015. Gerrit Cole has excelled during his first season with the Astros, but his offseason acquisition cost them Joe Musgrove, who allowed one earned run over 14 innings in his first two starts with the Pirates.

Of the four right-handers under the age of 25 currently on the Astros’ 40-man roster, only Lance McCullers occupies a spot with the big-league club. Perhaps Whitley and Bukauskas, and maybe even right-hander Corbin Martin, will fulfill their promise as prospects in the future, but if the Astros are to successfully meet the simultaneous challenge of pursuing a second championship while maintaining a sustainable winner, they will need recent draftees like Schroeder, Cody Deason, R.J. Freure, Austin Hansen, Brett Conine, and Mark Moclair to perhaps fill the void of the arms traded in pursuit of their pennant.

Alamo Heights distance runner Abby Gray commits to Arkansas

Alamo Heights’ senior distance runner Abby Gray has committed to Arkansas. Gray, who won gold medals in the Class 5A 1,600 and 3,200 runs at the UIL state championships in May, chose the Razorbacks over Texas.

“When I visited up there, the facilities, the coaching, the team all seemed to click,” said Gray, who made an official visit to Arkansas in late September. “I got that feeling, and I really liked it.”

Oral commitments are nonbinding. The first day Gray can sign a National Letter of Intent is Nov. 11.

Gray will become a teammate of 2015 Smithson Valley graduate Devin Clark, who won the Class 6A UIL state cross country championship a year ago. After battling Clark for so long in high school, she’s happy to become one of her teammates.

“Me and Devin have become really good friends,” Gray said. “I’m really excited to be her teammate.”

Gray said she is happy to have made her college choice before the cross country post season begins. On Thursday, Gray won the District 27-5A individual championship by nearly 2 1/2 minutes. Gray will next race in the Region IV championships, scheduled for Oct. 26 at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.

“I definitely wanted to have over with early because I didn’t want to have to worry about it during the whole rest of the season,” Gray said. “It was a fun process. I’m excited to finally have a place that I can call my own for the next four years.”

Park or mixed-use development? Alamo Heights debate grows

Positive growth or negative and gross? That depends on your position in Alamo Heights, where there’s a long running controversy over a proposed mixed-use development.

At Broadway and Austin Highway, red signs discourage the development of a high-rise.

"We really want to do something that’s good for this community and something that we can look back on in 30 years and be proud of," said Richard Peacock Jr., one of the partners involved with the proposed development.

Peacock and others want to create 5,100 square feet of retail space and 150 apartment units. Something, he said, his city desperately needs.

"So when students come back from college and they want to live in our community in a decent place, live in the community they grew up in, if they want to live in a class-A apartment complex, they have no choice right now," said Peacock.

However, some opponents believe the project is overly ambitious.

"This project is a very, very large project and it’s inconsistent with anything in Alamo Heights and inconsistent with probably anything else that could be built in Alamo Heights," said commercial real estate developer Glenn Huddleston.

Huddleston wants to block some of the development with his own proposal.

"My purpose is positive, it’s not negative," said Huddleston.

Huddleston, with the help of other investors, wants to buy land adjacent to the proposed apartment building and turn a space ideal for the apartment project, into a park with artwork and trees.

"Not a literal park, but a park where we can have community activities and people can use it to meet and gather," said Huddleston.

"I feel really confident that when people look at the proposal that we are presenting and they compare that to a potential park, if that’s what you can call it, I think the choice of the community is clear," said Peacock.

Huddleston said if the city were to approve their idea for a park, they would get public input on how to design it and then deed the park back to the city. If that happened, the apartment developers would have to work within the confines of the space they already own. Of course, much more debate lies ahead during future city council meetings.

Seguin softball defeats Alamo Heights Mules

The Seguin Lady Matadors shutout the Alamo Heights Lady Mules 2-0 in five innings (due to a thunderstorm that ended the game early) on Tuesday at Seguin High School.

Seguin senior Shyann Atchley scored the first run of the game after hitting an inside the park home run in the bottom of the first. The next run was plated in the bottom of the second when senior Vanessa Garza singled in Kamryn Kunkle, putting the Lady Matadors up front 2-0.

Meanwhile, Alamo Heights’ offense struggled against Garza — who tossed a two-hitter across five innings. In the pitcher’s circle, Garza recorded four strikeouts and walked one.

At the plate, Atchley went 1-for-2 with an RBI, scored a run and walked once. Garza finished 1-for-3 with and drove in one, Kunkle finished with one run and stole a base, McKenzie Neumann recorded a hit and Presley Pence walked once.

With the win, Seguin snapped a two-game losing streak, improving their record to 16-11 overall and 6-4 in District 26-5A. In the conference standings, the Lady Matadors are in third place just one game ahead of fourth-place Boerne-Champion (5-5), while Dripping Springs and Lockhart are tied for first place with a 9-1 district record.

Seguin will travel to play Medina Valley (3-7) at 7 p.m. today.

William Kerns’ Movie Marquee — 5 films open in Lubbock movie theaters

MOVIES OPENING FRIDAY

7 Days In Entebbe

Israeli soldiers embark on a mission to rescue more than 240 hostages from an airport in Entebbe, Uganda, in the summer of 1976.

PG-13: Violence, thematic material, drug use, smoking and language — Premiere Cinemas.

A Fantastic Woman

Sebastian Lelio’s “A Fantastic Woman” made history twice when it won the Academy Award on March 4 for Best Foreign Language Film. It was the first Oscar win for a film from Chile, and the first Oscar win for a movie with a transgender character in the leadThe movie focuses on waitress and singer Marina, portrayed by transgender actress Daniela Vega, fighting for her dignity while grieving after her boyfriend Orlando (Francisco Reyes) dies, apparently from a brain aneurysm. Marina is viewed with suspicion by a detective, doctors and even Orlando’s family, the latter forbidding her from attending the wake or funeral.

R: Language, sexual content, nudity and disturbing assault — Alamo Drafthouse.

I Can Only Imagine

Based on the incredible true-life story that inspired the beloved, chart-topping song, “I Can Only Imagine” is a song that brings ultimate hope to so many. Amazingly, the song was written in mere minutes by MercyMe lead singer Bart Millard. In reality, those lyrics took a lifetime to craft.

PG: Thematic elements including violence — Tinseltown 17, Movies 16 and Stars & Stripes Drive-In.

Love, Simon

Everyone deserves a great love story, but for 17-year-old Simon Spier, it’s a little more complicated. He hasn’t told his family or friends that he’s gay, and he doesn’t know the identity of the anonymous classmate that he’s fallen for online. Resolving both issues proves hilarious, terrifying and life-changing.

PG-13: Thematic elements, sexual references, language and teen partying — Premiere Cinemas, Alamo Drafthouse, Tinseltown 17 and Movies 16.

Tomb Raider (3-D/2-D)

Still based on the 2013 video game of the same name. Alicia Vikander now stars as Lara Croft, the fiercely independent daughter of an eccentric adventurer who vanished years earlier. Hoping to solve the mystery of her father’s disappearance, Croft embarks on a perilous journey to his last-known destination: a fabled tomb on a mythical island off the coast of Japan. The stakes couldn’t be higher as Lara must rely on her sharp mind, blind faith and stubborn spirit to venture into the unknown.

PG-13: Thematic elements and violent images — Premiere Cinemas (includes IMAX), Alamo Drafthouse, Tinseltown 17 (includes XD) and Stars & Stripes Drive-In.

MOVIES CONTINUING

12 Strong

Kerns rating: Three and one-half stars

Danish director Nicolai Guglsig’s movie is an entertaining tale about little-known horse soldiers, the first American military allowed to take the fight to the Taliban and al-Qaida allies in Afghanistan weeks after the 9/11/2001 attack. The story captures Americans’ reaction. Based on declassified accounts and Doug Stanton’s 2009 book “The Horse Soldiers,” the film focuses on the Fifth Special Forces Group and Captain Nelson (Chris Hemsworth) who, though inexperienced in war, pledged to bring everyone home alive. Guglsig focuses on Hemsworth, his initial lack of “killer eyes” and uneasy relationship with the Northern Alliance general (Abdul Rashid Dostum) whom he must befriend. Matters are helped by Nelson having been raised on a ranch and thus comfortable on horseback — because many battles must be waged while riding into battle, automatic weapons blazing.

R: War violence and language — Movies 16.

Annihilation

Kerns rating: Four stars

Alex Garland’s sci-fi drama “Annihilation” — admittedly not for everyone, and inspired by Jeff VanderMeer’s “Southern Reach Trilogy” — is helped mightily by an eerie original score and wildly innovative visual effects. Phrased in nostalgic terms, this film will blow a lot of minds. Audiences learn the military tried repeatedly to cross a colorful barrier within the United States, aptly called the Shimmer, in an attempt to discover how Area X beyond has been affected. Only one soldier, Kane, returned alive, if not mentally whole, from a possible environmental disaster zone. The military has five female scientists try next. Biologist and former soldier Lena, (Natalie Portman) wisely tells no one that Kane is her husband. Joining her: an anthropologist, psychologist, surveyor and linguist (Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tessa Thompson, Gina Rodriguez and Tuva Novotny). Not all will return. What they discover defies laws of nature. Don’t give too much away, although the film at times seems like one big spoiler. Can there be an alien, not necessarily extraterrestrial, wielding molecular change — and intruders possibly internally consumed? Time is an unspoken factor; the Shimmer is approaching cities as Area X expands daily. Good luck grasping it all. Garland’s “Ex Machina” may be the better film, but I can’t wait to see what he does next.

R: Violence, bloody images, language and sexuality — Premiere Cinemas and Tinseltown 17.

Black Panther (3-D/2-D)

Kerns rating: Four and one-half stars

The intelligent script conjures thought and questions. Directing only his third film, Ryan Coogler makes stunning decisions. Viewers will be awed when introduced to the apparent Third World African country of Wakanda, which resisted being colonized by all who might discover its source of Vibranium, which has been used used to secretly transform Wakanda into the world’s most advanced culture and civilization. Art direction, costumes and music are perfectly realized, as is the manner in which the nation’s women play vital roles. As Chadwick Boseman returns home for his own inauguration, he reunites with Lupita Nyong’o, one of Wakanda’s many spies, and soon is advised by Danai Gurira, who leads the country’s security forces. Stealing scenes is charismatic and funny newcomer Letitia Wright as T’Challa’s half sister. She also is Wakanda’s James Bond-ish Q,CQ a courageous technical genius providing equal numbers of gadgets and one-liners.

PG-13: Action violence, and rude gesture — Premiere Cinemas, Alamo Drafthouse, Tinseltown 17 and the Stars & Stripes Drive-In.

Death Wish

Kerns rating: Two stars

The first “Death Wish” iturned around Charles Bronson’s career, to the point that he was still making “Death Wish” sequels in his 70s. There was no call for a remake, even with a better performance from Bruce Willis as pacifist turned modern day vigilante Paul Kersey. His wife and college-age daughter (Camila Morrone) are attacked in their home in a robbery gone bad. His wife is killed; his daughter survives, and Kersey happens upon an unregistered gun and walks the streets, looking for hoodlums to shoot.

R: Vloody violence, and language — Premiere Cinemas, Alamo Drafthouse, Tinseltown 17 and Movies 16.

Every Day

Angourie Rice stars as a shy, 16-year-old girl named Rhiannon, who falls in love with a traveling soul named “A,” who wakes up every morning in a different body, living a different life each day.

PG-13: Thematic content, language, teem drinking and suggestive material — Premiere Cinemas.

Ferdinand (3-D/2-D)

Kerns rating: Three stars

Hardly Pixar-level storytelling. Director Carlos Saldanha could not resist placing a bull in a china shop, with predictable results. Yet it remains an amusing tale, a loyal adaptation of 1936 children’s book “The Story of Ferdinand,” written by Munro Leaf and illustrated by Robert Lawson, a story not seen on screen since the Disney cartoon in 1938. Ferdinand — ironically voiced by wrestler-turned-actor John Cena — is bullied as a youngster for preferring to smell flowers. He finds true happiness when he escapes and is rescued by the owner of a flower plantation and his daughter. Naturally, Ferdinand grows (and grows) and is mistaken for a prime opponent by an undefeated matador.

PG: Rude humor, action and thematic elements — Tinseltown 17.

Fifty Shades Freed

The final installment of a film trilogy adapted from novels by British author E.L. James. Billionaire entrepreneur Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) and Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) are a couple finding happiness with a BDSM sexual relationship.

R: Erotic sexual content, graphic nudity and language — Premiere Cinemas.

Forever My Girl

Liam Page (played by Alex Roe) left sweetheart Josie Preston (Jessica Rothe) at the altar. He ran away for a shot at fame. Josie tries her best to keep Liam at a distance, but life has one more surprise awaiting him.

PG: Thematic elements including drinking, and language — Tinseltown 17.

Game Night

Kerns rating: Two and one-half stars

Comedy is still, as they say, hard. Happily, co-stars Rachel McAdams and Jason Bateman shine as married and mutually competitive game nerds who share legitimate charisma and inspire smiles. They play Annie and Max, whose couples game night is one-upped when Max’s richer, more popular brother Brooks (Kyle Chandler) calls on a local company called Murder We Wrote to host a party in which guests try to win by solving a realistic murder mystery. Naturally, for the few who missed the trailer, fake thugs and federal agents are replaced by dangerously real crooks.

R: Language, sexual references and violence — Alamo Drafthouse, Tinseltown 17 and Movies 16.

The Greatest Showman

Kerns rating: Three stars

Hugh Jackman impresses in his dream role of P.T. Barnum, but the storytelling is shallow. A few songs are memorable (such as “This Is Me”), yet there is precious little story exposition between them. Deserving applause is choreography by Ashley Wallen, revealing fantastic rapport with director Michael Gracey. Jackman and Efron are musical veterans, and it shows. Michelle Williams is tragically underused as Charity Barnum, who is aware when her husband is captivated by Swedish performer Jenny Lind. Social statements blend into entertainment and, by the end, good gosh, even elephants seem to appear out of nowhere.

PG: Thematic elements, including brawl — Premiere Cinemas and Movies 16.

Gringo

Harold Soyinka (David Oyelowo) is an average businessman who works for a company that has developed a “Weed Pill,” medical marijuana that has been simplified to pill form. His bosses, Elaine (Charlize Theron) and Richard (Joel Edgerton), send him to Mexico to handle the marketing of the product. However, while out partying, he is kidnapped by a cartel — specifically one that holds a grudge against Harold’s bosses and their company. Richard hires a professional named Mitch (Sharlto Copley) to safely remove Harold from harm’s way, but Mitch and Harold end up having to survive one outrageous situation after another.

R: Language, violence and sexual content — Premiere Cinemas and Tinseltown 17.

Hostiles

Kerns rating: Five stars

This 2017 drama from writer-director Scott Cooper, like Clint Eastwood’s “Unforgiven” in 1990, proves the western is not dead — while taking a darker approach examining characters on the edge, affected by lives of brutal violence. The main characters, U.S. Cavalry Capt. Joseph Blocker (Christian Bale) and Northern Cheyenne war chief Yellow Hawk (Wes Studi), developed bitter hatred for one another over years of bloody battles, until the latter was captured and incarcerated. The story opens in 1892. Blocker, nearing retirement, has finished a campaign against the Apache; yet Comanches continue to murder homesteaders for horses, recently a father and three children in merciless fashion. The mother (Rosamund Pike) survived by hiding, and emerges emotionally broken. Blocker is ordered to escort Yellow Hawk, who contracted cancer during seven years of confinement, and his family from a New Mexico fort to ancestral grasslands in Montana, by order of President Benjamin Harrison. Crossing paths with marauding Comanche, dangerous fur trappers and racist whites, their survival odds are slim. “Hostiles” is special, however, because of character arc and change; this western also deals openly with post traumatic stress. Bale is incredible as he questions his own humanity; he is heartbreaking during his “I had a friend” monologue, and dodges a racist tag when he calls black Buffalo Soldier Henry the best soldier he’s ever known … and may also mean best friend. Bale learned to speak Northern Cheyenne, which grants enhanced authenticity to conversations with the brilliantly subtle Studi. Pike is outstanding, as is Jonathan Majors as Henry and so many others in a drama working on varied levels.

R: Violence and language — Movies 16.

The Hurricane Heist

A rural Alabama town faces two problems. There’s a hurricane bearing down on the Gulf coastline, and there’s a team of 30 well-armed mercenaries intent on looting the local treasury facility.

PG-13: Gun violence, action, destruction, language and suggestive material — Premiere Cinemas, Tinseltown 17, Movies 16 and Stars & Stripes Drive-In.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (3-D/2-D)

Kerns rating: Three and one-half stars

Kudos to the writing, casting and performances — even considering CGI improvements since Robin Williams introduced “Jumanji” in 1995. The story opens a la “The Breakfast Club,” with high school detention again populated by types: skinny nerd Spencer (Alex Wolf); football jock Fridge (Ser’Darius Blain), pretty-turned-vain selfie-taker Bethany (Madison Iseman), and shy bookworm Martha (Morgan Turner). They find a game console (Jumanji), and barely hear African drums before being sucked into the game and transformed into adult avatars. The nerd becomes a smoldering, muscular adventurer (Dwayne Johnson), the jock is now a small whiner (Kevin Hart), a shy bookworm gives way to a Lara Croft-type (Karen Gillan), and sexy Bethany trades her body for that of middle-aged cartographer Jack Black. Adult avatars, however, maintain teenage personalities and fears. Kudos to director Jake Kasdan, who introduces CGI hippos, snakes and jaguars, but also one message about overcoming insecurities and another involving the four opposites working together if they are to survive. The ensemble work shines, despite Black stealing several scenes as he channels his much-too-believable inner Bethany. Still, one wishes the game’s villains were something more African than greedy explorer Bobby Cannavale and dozens of goons on motorcycles. Motorcycles? In the jungle? Really?

PG-13: Adventure action, suggestive content and language — Tinseltown 17, Movies 16 (through Monday) and Stars & Stripes Drive-In.

Maze Runner: The Death Cure

The final chapter of a trilogy. In director Wes Ball’s finale, Thomas (played by Dylan O’Brien) again leads his group of escaped Gladers. To save their friends, they break into the last city, a WCKD-controlled labyrinth that may turn out to be the deadliest maze of all. They must makes it out alive to find answers to questions they have been asking since they first arrived in the maze.

PG-13: Sci-fi violence and action, language, and some thematic elements — Movies 16.

Peter Rabbit (3-D/2-D)

Peter Rabbit, the mischievous and adventurous hero who captivated generations of readers, now stars in his own irreverent film comedy with attitude. Peter’s feud with farmer Thomas McGregor (Domhnall Gleeson) escalates to greater heights as they rival for the affection of Bea (Rose Byrne), a sweet animal lover living next door. James Corden provides the voice of Peter. Margot Robbie, Elizabeth Debicki and Daisy Ridley provide the voices of Peter’s triplet sisters: Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail. Inspired by author Beatrix Potter’s stories about the same characters.

PG: Rude humor and action — Premiere Cinemas and Tinseltown 17.

Red Sparrow

Francis Lawrence, who directed the last three “Hunger Games” films, reunites with Jennifer Lawrence, introduced as Bolshoi prima ballerina Dominika Egorova, who faces a bleak future after suffering a career-ending injury. She has no choice but to become a Russian spy and train at Sparrow School, a secret intelligence service training candidates to use their minds and bodies as weapons. Egorova emerges a dangerous Sparrow after completing sadistic training. Matthew Schoenaerts portrays her uncle Ivan, who knows the former dancer will do anything to help her emotionally vital but infirm mother Nina (Joely Richardson). Charlotte Rampling is the icy headmistress running the training school, and Jeremy Irons is Russian General Vladimir Korchnoi, who knows just how far a Sparrow like Dominika can be trusted. It appears that Lawrence’s Sparrow is being convinced by CIA agent Nate Nash (Joel Edgerton) to become a double agent.

R: Violence, torture, sexual content, language, and graphic nudity — Premiere Cinemas, Alamo Drafthouse, Tinseltown 17 and Movies 16.

The Shape of Water

Kerns rating: Five stars

Academy Award winner: Best Picture. Sally Hawkins is incredible as mute, lonely Eliza Esposito, who forges a relationship with an amphibian male imprisoned in the government lab that she helps clean each night. Bookend narration by Giles, This fairy tale blooms into a tragic romance influenced by the director’s affection for 1954′s “Creature from the Black Lagoon.” A Cold War rages against the Russians, inspiring sadistic Col. Strickland (Michael Shannon) to drag the amphibian (Doug Jones) from a South American river. Upon attacking his captor, the amphibian is kept in chains and tortured. Yet this becomes a story about love and language, as Eliza secretly uses eggs, sign language and music to communicate. Del Toro reveals his affection for horror films, government conspiracies and, surprise, dreamy 1930s musicals — all within an original romance where everyone colors outside the lines. Cinematographer Dan Lausten creates amazing images in a flooded apartment, and composer Alexandre Desplat delivers a romantic score that also earned an Oscar. Wonderful support arrives from Jenkins; Octavia Spencer as Eliza’s friend and interpreter; and even Michael Stuhlbarg as a Russian spy.

R: Sexual content, graphic nudity, violence and language — Movies 16.

The Strangers, Prey at Night

Kerns rating: Two stars

In 2008, writer-director Bryan Bertino explored apathetic violence via “The Strangers.” A decade later, more near-mute, masked home invaders are in a sequel, this time written by Bertino and directed by Johannes Roberts. At times, the story is a super low budget salute to John Carpenter’s early work, at least “Halloween” and “Christine,” except now there are three Michael Myers pursuing a terrified family through a deserted trailer park. The other option is a bored generation for whom murder is just a Friday night option. Why kill? Why not? But moviegoers are too familiar with killers handling a knife, ice pick or axe. This time, three sociopaths — call them Dollface, Pin-Up and Man in a Mask — butcher two seniors and learn from an answering machine that relatives are on the way. Mom (Christina Hendricks) and Dad (Martin Henderson) arrive with son Luke (Lewis Pullman) while on their way to deliver troubled daughter Kinsey (Bailee Madison) to boarding school. Soon, all are separated, cell phones destroyed. Roberts juggles ’80s music and tense silence to enhance a few jump-scares. In an effort to avoid predictability, he ventures into silly boogie-man territory. Gore levels are inconsistent but, to the filmmaker’s credit, his stars at least seem to enjoy the chase as much as the kills.

R: Horror violence and terror , and language — Premiere Cinemas, Tinseltown 17 and Movies 16.

Thoroughbreds

Two upper-class teenage girls in suburban Connecticut rekindle an unlikely friendship after years of growing apart. Together, they hatch a plan to solve both of their problems by killing the stepfather of one.

R: Disturbing behavior, bloody images, language, sexual references, and some drug content — Alamo Drafthouse.

A Wrinkle in Time (3-D/2-D)

Kerns rating: Two stars

This is just a bump in director Ava DuVernay’s career. She already proved her chops. “Selma” was Oscar-nominated for Best Picture, and DuVernay’s amazing documentary “13th” (on Netflix) emerged educational, challenging and important. The next step for anyone in her place was to say yes when Disney came calling with a bucket of cash and a challenging story, dominated by a visual effects budget and bad dialogue. Major filmmakers had shied away from popular book “A Wrinkle in Time” since the 1960s. Now we know why. The script finds young girl Meg (Storm Reid) and little brother Charles Wallace (Deric McCabe) grieving for their dad (Chris Pine, scientist), who disappeared four years ago. The children are encouraged to save their dad and the world by Reese Witherspoon as Mrs. Whatsit, Mindy Kaling as Mrs. Who and Oprah Winfrey as Mrs. Which. Skipping ahead (spoilers), Meg finds self-confidence and we were bound to be reminded about the power of love. Special effects and pop songs both border on lame. Adventures never becomes fun. I look forward to DuVernay being given another great script, or maybe an opportunity to write one. I guarantee, she will survive this wrinkle.

PG: Thematic elements and peril — Alamo Drafthouse, Tinseltown 17, Movies 16 (includes XD) and Stars & Stripes Drive-In.

Ratings, from one to five stars, and reviews are by A-J Media film critic William Kerns.

The Austin-San Antonio Deal Sheet

Austin’s first Whole Foods Market 365 will be at Saltillo, the mixed-use development adjacent to the Plaza Saltillo rail station.

Whole Foods Market 365 is Whole Foods’ value-focused brand. Whole Foods, recently acquired by Amazon, has signed a lease for 30K SF within the 10-acre project. The project is being developed as a joint partnership between Austin-based Endeavor Real Estate Group and Dallas-based Columbus Realty Partners.

“We can’t wait to open this new Whole Foods Market 365 store on the East Side,” Whole Foods Market 365 President Jeff Turnas said in a statement. “At 365, customers will find familiar Whole Foods Market quality in an affordable, convenient and easy-to-shop new format, with plenty of fun surprises mixed in too.”

The Saltillo location will be the eighth Whole Foods Market 365 and the second for the area. The other location is in Cedar Park. Other food and beverage establishments that have signed leases with Saltillo include Barcelona, a wine and tapas concept, The Ginger Man, Tarka Indian Kitchen, Epoch Coffee, Snooze, gelato-maker Dolce Neve and Stout Burgers & Beers.

DEVELOPMENT

Cielo Property Group broke ground on The Foundry at Fourth and Comal in East Austin. The mixed-use office and residential project will become the new regional office for DPR Construction.

DPR, which will serve as general contractor on the project, has leased 30K SF in the three-story, 76K SF office portion of The Foundry. Eleven of the project’s 17 condo units are pre-sold.

***

The project team for the new Main Street Hub headquarters broke ground on East6 last week.

Main Street Hub, which was acquired by Go Daddy last month for $125M, will be moving from downtown office space. The project will be one of the first Class-A office projects for East Austin, behind the new Oracle campus.

“East6 is a first-of-its-kind development for East Austin,” AQUILA Commercial principal Mike Murphy said in a statement. “It is one of the first single-tenant Class-A office developments of this size on the Eastside, and we couldn’t be happier to have Main Street Hub, a company built in Austin, occupying the building.”

The project will be a 115K SF single-tenant office development. Three stories of office will sit atop four stories of underground and above-ground parking.

Main Street Hub will consolidate 550 employees on the property, which should be delivered in spring 2019.

SALES

World Class Property Co. closed on its acquisition of the 158-acre 3M campus in Northwest Austin.

3M will continue to occupy the campus until 2019. World Class will immediately begin marketing the campus to new tenants. At 1.3M SF, the main campus is the largest contiguous office space in Austin.

The property could expand to as much as 3M SF of office space. 3M, which announced the sale last year, intends to move to the Parmer Business Park in northeast Austin being built by Trammell Crow.

Sterling Real Estate Holdings, a joint venture between Barker Pacific Group and Pacific Real Estate Partners, has acquired La Fiesta Apartments in San Antonio. The 111-unit apartment complex is in the Alamo Heights submarket of northeastern San Antonio.

“We’re excited to continue pursuing the San Antonio market,” Sterling principal Michael Barker said in a statement. “La Fiesta is in a great location, and we see an opportunity to maximize its value by repositioning and improving upon the property.”

Sterling plans to invest in the property, built in 1970, by improving landscaping and other common areas, as well as renovating apartment interiors.

LEASES

JLL was selected as the strategic leasing partner for anticipated retail development Wolf Crossing in Georgetown.

The 42-acre, 250K SF retail development by CSW Development at Interstate 35 and Texas Highway 29 will serve as an entrance to Georgetown’s historic downtown. The development will include several restaurants, a hotel and a grocery store.

JLL Senior Vice President Barry Haydon and Vice President Jon Switzer are leading marketing and leasing efforts for the retail development.

***

Two concepts have leased space in Culebra Market, a shopping center at the southeast corner of Loop 1604 and Culebra Road. Pasha Express has leased 2,020 SF for a Mediterranean restaurant and Best Choice Dental has leased 1,500 SF.

Marcus Shaffer with Weitzman handled negotiations as exclusive project leasing agent for Culebra Market. REOC Partners’ Todd Gold represented the restaurant, and Syncore Medical Realty’s Sean Regan represented the dental practice.

Benefit held in honor of bullied Alamo Heights ISD student

SAN ANTONIO — The community of Alamo Heights is taking action after high school student David Molak took his life this year after being cyberbullied.

The School District is implementing changes and Monday Molak’s life will be celebrated with music.

David Molak was just 16-years-old when he was found dead in the backyard of his home earlier this year. Monday, Oct. 10 would have been his 17th birthday and high school senior Abigail Dickson wanted to recognize that.

"I decided to hold this benefit because I really wanted to do something to honor David on what would have been his 17th birthday and to support his family and the Legacy Foundation," Dickson said.

All proceeds from the benefit at Christ Episcopal Church will go to David’s Legacy Foundation.

"To help other families that have been the target of bullies, to help bring speakers to San Antonio to different communities, to educate teachers and students about bullying and how to prevent it or how to help when it occurs," Dickson said.

The Alamo Heights ISD created a task force following the death of Molak. They recently released their findings recommending dramatic changes such as eliminating some longtime traditions.

Those traditions include the senior girls’ party and powder-puff football.

"It’s more than just bullying it’s the way we talk to each other, the five forms of mistreatment, it’s character education and it’s thinking intentionally as parents about how we raise our children and how we think about their wellness," said Alamo Heights ISD Superintendent Kevin Brown.

The task force, which was five months in the making, hopes to reduce exclusions and put downs, which Brown says the district sees the most.

"If you look at what’s going on in our country right now, and we are having a national dialogue about what is civil dialogue, how do we treat one another, how do we as adults model for our kids the way we want them to act and respond," Brown said.

David’s 17th Birthday Celebration and Concert details can be found at https://www.facebook.com/events/1795003070713392/.
