with SCAD filmmakers by jim morekis

Back in the day when I did such things, I had the opportunity to see the band AC/DC in concert.

Several times, actually, but I digress.

They’re a juggernaut onstage — no stage patter, no video pandering, only three or four seconds elapsing between songs. They play with an almost casual aggressiveness, in the manner of professional assassins.

I hope Peter Shannon forgives the tortured analogy to AC/DC — it’s intended as a compliment — but that’s exactly who he reminded me of when he conducted the Savannah Philharmonic Chorus and Orchestra this past Sunday in a performance of Mozart’s Requiem at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist.

As he came out for the concert opener, Beethoven’s Corolianus Overture, all the musicians stood as per protocol, with the packed crowd in the pews clapping appreciatively.

Shannon shook the concertmaster’s hand, waved briefly to the audience, quickly turned on his heels and brought his hand down —boom — for the first note.

The note echoed throughout the Cathedral as people were still clapping, with the musicians having only just sat down in their chairs about a millisecond earlier.

Wow, I thought — this is a guy who clearly cannot wait to unleash some music on your ass.

I was impressed, and the musicians and singers were clearly motivated to rise to his level of intensity (certainly the transcendent setting of the Cathedral had a vital role to play in that inspiration as well).

In all, the afternoon was a sublime demonstration not only of the genius of Western civilization, but of the best of Savannah, both musically and scenically. Kudos to everyone.

I’m particularly proud of this issue of Connect Savannah. If anyone knows of another local media outlet that offers so much content for such a low price — totally free — I’d be interested in seeing it.

We key our coverage of the Savannah Film Festival with Jim Reed’s long-ranging interview with guest of honor Malcolm McDowell. As per my usual effort to highlight local student productions, you’ll also find my interviews with several SCAD-affiliated directors. Next week look for my interview with Peter Weishar, dean of SCAD’s School of Film and Digital Media.

As usual, many thanks to Bobby Zarem and SCAD’s Sunny Nelson for their invaluable help in putting together our festival coverage.

The Film Fest isn’t all that’s going on. Look for Jim’s feature on Porter Batiste Stoltz, an art review by resident critic Bertha Husband, Bill DeYoung’s chat with Jason Aldean, a preview of Cardinal Rep’s Rocky Horror Show by Ashley Jensen, and just in time for Halloween, Lanie Peterson’s look at Acme Costumes. cs

Theatre: Cardinal

Rep reprises its popular version of the Rocky Horror Show. by ashley jensen

28 Music 38 Art 42 movies

Editor, How does a mayor and two city council people get to steal (and essentially that is what they did) almost $18,000 of our tax money for a sightseeing trip? How is there not more outrage about this?

I have posted numerous times about our local leaders dropping the ball with local businesses but this is a whole new ballgame. I pay my taxes promptly every year in hopes that our local, state, and federal government will further our education systems, national security, etc. I cannot believe that in such economic turmoil these “leaders”/”thiefs” decided it was intelligent to waste $18,000 in our money.

Georgia is going to have state budget cuts for next year. That means our local schools are going to be forced to choose which programs are getting cut next year.

How many of those programs could have survived with an extra $18,000? My guess is more than one.

This city needs to stand up and show their outrage. People need to write to Ms. Jackson and both Mr. Johnsons to let them know that they will not get re-elected for their many shortcomings; to include this major one.

David Wayne

Welcome to the lower middle class Editor, Couldn’t agree more with your last piece, “Economies of Scale.”

Every day I keep hearing how Americans are hurting, how times are tight and we are going to have to live differently.

It makes me so angry. Not because I will have to change my lifestyle — I will not have to — but because apparently so many will.

People who own four cars, who own a summer home, who have the most modern television in every room of their overpriced house, etc, etc. People with 8 credit cards and imaginary money riding on corrupt companies.

Egads! people may actually have

to keep a car for a couple years.

They may have to rebudget that week-long Disney ten-familymember vacation next summer because Daddy’s stock didn’t pan out. They may have to.... Oh my God!.. RENT(!) a house or apartment. Good lord! Living like...

TRASH! Well, welcome to America, home of the lower middle class.

Where have you been, people?

I’m restraining my glee. My urge to say I told you so. Holding back the desire to reference the Ant and the Grasshopper, or to remind traders and speculators that their occupational lifestyle is no less than gambling with other peoples (often imaginary) money.

I imagine if your occupation is trading in imaginary commodities, or working for those that do, your job may be fucked right now. And to a certain extent those things MAY trickle down a bit.

I hear catering and entertainment for bankrupt companies has not been hit hard yet, so the service industry will be just fine.

I have always felt that if you

can’t pay for it in cash, you shouldn’t buy it. I also don’t trust putting my money into a system where others can profit by moving it around or letting other people borrow it, or saying there is more there than there is.

I only begrudgingly got a credit card again. I eat enough to live comfortably. My home is simple, clean and uncluttered. I’ve owned a scooter for four years before most everyone freaked out and jumped on the bandwagon.

I’m actually making and saving more than I ever have in my life because I’ve been living this way for years, and it’s finally paying off.

That is what real investment is.

So maybe now, Jim, we can hold seminars to teach all the people who have been living in their world of imaginary wealth, how to live simpler yet more meaningful lives. Maybe we can profit.

Right now I am too busy chuckling and gloating inside my anthill at the frantic chaos of the grasshoppers outside.

Travis Pitts

continues on p. 9

Editor, Efforts to address the economic meltdown have mostly focused on symptoms. The disease itself has seen less treatment or even comment.

This disease is a consumerism driven blend of greed and stupidity that if not wholly American is universally recognized as one of our primary traits.

Except for scheming on how to get it we don’t think much when we want something.

Want a car. Want a house. Want a boat. Want a life.

We only ask how and generally don’t consider the real, long-term costs when we let the hungry pit bull consumption slip its leash. As a nation of consumers we don’t have much savings. We create a lot of waste.

We need to tighten things up. What we need is a Good Depression.

Yes. A Good Depression. Capitalized.

This great obese country of ours needs to learn something. The Great Depression taught people how to make

the most of limited resources instead of how to get the most of seemingly limitless resources.

What we need is some of that good old-fashioned common sense that helped pioneers lead lives of relative comfort in a wilderness. We need the industry and skills to make more things for ourselves, to fix or maintain mechanical devices rather than throwing them away and even to cook sensibly healthy food economically.

We need to be responsible for ourselves and limit our waste in relentless recycling. We have been deluded that value resides in money instead of the simple satisfaction of accomplishment.

We need to be content with living instead of getting.

We need a good lesson. We need a Good Depression instead of the Great Depression we appear destined for if we don’t rationalize our way of life.

We need to relearn values like frugality and thrift. We need to learn to save and preserve instead of acquire and use, to be stewards rather than looters.

YOU’RE INVITED!

Tale of 2 Christophers Editor, Many of us had a pleasant surprise to sweeten our coffee one recent morning.

It came in the form of an announcement from Christopher Hitchens, the former British liberal and intellectual who has turned into an American conservative, one of the articulate few who continues to support George Bush and the Iraq war.

He’s not a George Bush sycophant, however--his main criticism has been that we haven’t flexed our muscles enough. But I digress.

The sweet surprise was Hitchens’ announced support of Barack Obama, especially coming as it did with a fervent denouncement of John Sidney McCain. His beef with McCain took many forms but he focused on McCain’s erratic behavior, especially his choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate. “The most insulting thing that a politician can do is to compel you to ask yourself: ‘What does he take me for?’�

In summation, Mr. Hitchens offered an observation and a call for action: “The Republican Party has invited

Since this is a tale of two Christophers you might be wondering who else weighed in recently. Well, last week we heard from a Mr. Christopher Buckley, son of the arch-conservative and founder of the National Review, William F. Buckley. The younger Buckley writes the back page column for the publication founded by his father.

Young Mr. Buckley chose not to make his announcement in his column for fear of attracting hate mail. Instead, he chose the iconoclastic and outspoken blog, TheDailyBeast.

After a few mutterings about fathers rolling over in graves, Christopher Buckley expressed his extreme displeasure with McCain and Palin, going on to say, “Obama has in him...the potential to be a good, perhaps even great leader.

Editor, The federal funding for Savannah Harbor deepening and for beach replenishment is highly suspicious.

Someone is already floating the idea of making a beach of dredge from the bottom of the river.

I have taken it upon myself to ask Ralph Nader to do a follow-up study of The Water Lords, his 1970 study of the industrial and sewage pollution of the Savannah River. A follow-up would include sampling the bottom of the Savannah Harbor for toxic waste and radioactive materials.

$25 certificates for just $12.50 on sale now

The potential of dredging the harbor also represents a structural problem for River Street and the Historic District.

This represents one of the hugest public health and safety hazards I can imagine, and for what? A dying oil empire? Alternative energy is the way to go.

Centralized power is never ecofriendly, and Savannah as a tourist town and historic site does not need industrial development to create good jobs.

If we revisit the idea of being the Hostess City of the South in a publicly demonstrative way, such as creating a user-friendly public transportation system, we would have a treasure no one could take away or compete with.

Hope this generates some lively discussion.

You towed away my heart

Police were called to a Skidaway Road bar on a report of an intoxicated woman whose purse had been stolen. An officer found the woman in the parking lot, where she was “guarding” her car.

She was extremely intoxicated, by her own admission, and her speech was slurred and she couldn’t stand without assistance. She had her purse, but said the keys to her car had been stolen while she was inside the club.

The woman said she didn’t know who had taken her keys, but she was afraid they would steal her car. She said she had a spare car key at her apartment, and that her neighbor had a spare key to her apartment and could let her in.

Police transported the woman to her residence while another unit stayed with her car. Once inside her apartment, she

tried to find the spare car key, but couldn’t find it. The woman asked that her car be towed, and she was told to remain at the apartment. A tow truck was called, and the woman asked that the tow form be left on her back door.

When the tow truck arrived and began loading the car, a man came outside and asked why it was being towed. He said he had the keys to the car. He said he met the woman at the club a few nights earlier and was there with her again that night. She had given him the car keys because she didn’t want to drive while intoxicated.

The officer told the man he couldn’t release the car to him because the woman had called them and said her keys were stolen. She also denied she was with anyone at the club. The keys were turned over to the wrecker driver, who towed the car for safekeeping.

• A River Street business was robbed of $1,000. An employee told police a man identifying himself as “Kenny” walked in and acted as if he knew the business’s owner and asked for him by name.

When she said the owner wasn’t there, the man said he had been told by the

owner that he could come in and do some work. She said another man would occasionally come in and do random work for the owner. When the suspect was told he’d have to come back and speak to the owner, he asked if he could use the bathroom and was told yes, even though it is for employees only.

After leaving the bathroom, the suspect quickly left the business. The employee thought it was odd because she never heard the man lift the toilet seat or put it down and never heard the toilet flush.

She went into the bathroom and looked in the place where the change and day’s earnings were kept and saw that the box was empty. She ran out of the store to try to locate the suspect, but couldn’t find him.

The owner was contacted and said he would have the actual worker come to the store to try to help identify the suspect. He didn’t arrive, and when police went to his regular place of employment, they were told the man had been fired after being arrested for a probation violation.

• An officer on patrol just before midnight saw a man walking south on Abercorn Street who was staggering into the path of moving traffic.

The officer pulled into a parking lot and went to investigate. The man nearly fell down in front of the patrol car.

The man was told to sit on the curb. He was asked his name, and if he was all right, and while the man slurred several things, his name wasn’t one of them.

The officer saw several minor injuries, including abrasions, on his right shoulder blade, right knee and swelling on the right eye. The man refused treatment by EMS. He smelled strongly of alcohol, and appeared to be extremely intoxicated. All attempts to get any information from him were unsuccessful. He was arrested on a charge of public drunkenness and taken to jail. cs Give anonymous crime tips to Crimestoppers at 234-2020

At a forum last August at his megachurch, preacher Rick Warren asked John McCain and Barack Obama when human life begins. McCain replied, “At conception,” a response that went over well with the pro-life audience. Obama said, “Answering that question with specificity is above my pay grade,” which many thought was evasive or flip and which I think sounded lame, even though my own views are closer to Obama’s than McCain’s. No doubt Obama punted because he thought he’d get into even more trouble if he answered frankly, but you, Cecil, are under no such constraints.

So tell us: When does human life begin?

—Frank Caplice, Chicago Little problem, Frank. That wasn’t what Warren asked. The thrust of his question—he phrased it slightly differently for each candidate—was, “At what point is a baby entitled to human rights?” Here’s my take on the subject, which shows why I’ll never be running for public office: 1. Human life begins at conception.

2. Big deal.

Let’s review the leading theories, many drawn from Roe v. Wade: At birth. The belief of the Stoics, Roe tells us, and some religions today.

At conception. This idea harks back at least to the Pythagoreans but didn’t become the standard view among abortion opponents ‘till the late 19th century. An important turning point was a pair of declarations by Pope Pius IX: (1) in 1854 he said Catholics were obliged to believe that Mary, mother of Jesus, had been free of sin since conception; and (2) in 1869 he decreed abortion punishable by excommunication.

Before this the Catholic church had waffled on when human life began.

At the 40th day (for males) or 80th day (for females) after conception. This odd notion was formulated by Aristotle and embraced by Thomas Aquinas, and generally speaking was Catholic belief, though not dogma, ‘till the time

of Pius IX. The idea is that while basic existence begins at conception, the fetus isn’t animated—or in Catholic terminology, ensouled—until several weeks out, at which point it becomes human.

The matter was debated for centuries, although without much practical impact; abortion was always prohibited for the same reason birth control was—it interfered with a natural process.

At quickening. That is, at the point at which fetal movement can be detected, usually around the 16th week of pregnancy. Abortion before quickening, Roe observes, wasn’t an indictable offense in English common law.

At implantation of the embryo in the uterine wall, the commencement of brain activity, etc. These are modern attempts to fix the beginning of human life at some point in fetal development following conception. While not without merit, they suffer from the defect of seeming to separate life from human life, the matter to which we now turn.

An inseminated frog egg develops into an adult; an unfertilized one doesn’t. No biologist distinguishes not-yet-frog embryos from froggy ones; they’re all frogs from the start. And so it is with us.

However, to be blunt, so what? We may stipulate that human life begins at conception, and that the purposeful ending of a human life constitutes homicide. It doesn’t necessarily follow that abortion is always wrong. We take innocent lives when it suits us—in a just war, say. Sure, abortion often ends a life because it inconveniences the mother.

But look at it this way: 1. Until the late 19th century, mainstream tradition was that a fetus didn’t acquire personhood until some point after conception but before birth.

2. We can argue about when that point is, but a logical milestone is the beginning of measurable brain-wave activity, roughly 25 weeks after conception. After all, brain death is now commonly accepted as marking life’s end.

3. We may then say that, personhood having been acquired, the child is entitled to our protection. One accepts that abortion may be necessary when the mother’s life is in peril, but it doesn’t seem to me it can be justified because the child is a product of rape or incest or is defective. These things weren’t the mom’s fault, and may impose some hardship on her, but they weren’t the kid’s fault either, and he’s one of us. cs

Acting as her own lawyer, Downs put the officer through a 96-point cross-examination about work schedule, training, engineering studies of road speeds, radar technology, weather conditions, traffic flow, and the use of a tuning fork to calibrate the radar device.

earthweek www.connectsavannah.com/earthweek Rising Tide A pair of senior German researchers says the U.N. prediction that sea level will rise only by about 7 to 23 inches this century is out of date, and the level of the ocean around the world is likely to rise more than three feet instead over that period.

Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, who heads the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, and Jochem Marotzke, a leading meteorologist, say the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report that gave the earlier prediction was based on data up to only 2005.

Pot Pollution Some of America’s national parks and forests are becoming among the most polluted places in the country due to the use of toxic chemicals by farmers who illegally grow marijuana on public land.

Officials say they have found that rat poison has been used to keep animals away from the pot crops, and there is evidence that plant growth hormones have been dumped into streams and then pumped to the pot fields through networks of PVC pipes. Several hundred illicit growing sites were found on U.S. Forest Service land in California alone during 2006

and 2007. Many other operations were uncovered in West Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky.

Forest Alert Greenpeace warns that palm oil companies in Indonesia’s remote easternmost Papua region are clearing vast swathes of virgin forests to expand their plantations. The group called on the government to stop issuing land conversion permits to the giant corporations that want to fell tropical forests in what once was among the world’s most inaccessible areas.

Kenya has launched an experimental program to use mobile phone technology and GPS to monitor elephants with a history of raiding crops outside their nature preserve. The move by the group Save the Elephants came

after the Kenya Wildlife Service was forced two years ago to reluctantly shoot five of the animals that refused to stop raiding crops. In June, a mobile phone SIM card was placed in the collar of an elephant named Kimani that had been spared.

Now, if the animal approaches a virtual “geofence,” a text message with its exact location is sent to rangers, who then guide the wandering jumbo back into the reserve. Kimani once raided crops almost nightly, but he has been kept away from farmers’ fields for the past four months with the new technology. cs by steve newman, universal press syndicate

Scenes from Never Apologize

Malcolm in the middle

Thespian Malcolm McDowell is a ‘Lucky Man’ once more by jim reed | jim.r@connectsavannah.com

One of the finest and most nuanced film actors of our time, since his screen debut in the 1969 British film If..., Malcolm McDowell has amassed an unusually prodigious body of work.

Known best to casual moviegoers as either the iconic thug Alex in Stanley Kubrick’s landmark 1971 futuristic satire A Clockwork Orange, or as mad scientist Dr. Tolian Soran (the guy who killed Captain Kirk) in 1994’s Star Trek Generations, over the course of his career he has appeared in over 150 different films and TV shows.

From brooding roles in such atmospheric horror and sci-fi flicks as Paul Schrader’s 1982 remake of Cat People and Rob Zombie’s remake of John Carpenter’s Halloween to recurring stints in acclaimed episodic fare like Heroes and HBO’s Entourage, McDowell has shown tremendous range and empathy in his dramatic choices.

His latest independent project, Never Apologize, is a cinematic adaptation of a one-man stage show he wrote and performed as a loving tribute to the late director Lindsay Anderson — who gave him some of his first starring roles (as the iconic British everyman character Mick Travis) in the aforementioned If... and O Lucky Man!.

An acolyte of legendary American director John Ford, Anderson is regarded as transformative figure in England’s Free Cinema and New Wave film movements, yet his influence and legacy have not been widely celebrated outside of his native Britain. McDowell seeks to rectify that through this touching and fond remembrance.

He’ll take questions from the audience at rare screenings of both that recently completed film and the classic

A Clockwork Orange at the 11th Annual Savannah Film Festival, where he’ll also receive a Lifetime Achievement Award for his work in the industry.

I spoke at length with McDowell about his respect for Anderson, his own career and his general lack of interest in attending events of this sort (and why he made an exception for Savannah). Highlights of our conversation are below. For a complete transcript, go to connectsavannah.com.

Never Apologize documents a one-man show you created, which itself centers around the film industry. Was that cinematic translation difficult to make?

Malcolm McDowell: You know, strangely enough, it wasn’t. Of course all the stories and stuff were mine, but I had a wonderful collaborator named

Mike Kaplan, who edited and found all the material to put into the show. In a weird way it sounds like it could be very boring, but I get to play about 39 different people. I mimic them — and some of them not well at all! (laughs) Over the course of the film I do Lillian Gish, John Gielgud, everybody. I do them all. I’m not really a mimic, per se. I don’t study it. I just threw myself into the moment and did it. My goal was merely to embody the person, just channel them rather than some perfectly matched impersonation. It’s all part of the rich tapestry of this story that I’m conveying.

Did this show have a long run on stage before you filmed it, so you could really hone the pacing and learn how it played best to a crowd?

Malcolm McDowell: No! I literally only did five performances, and the film is taken from just one single performance.

Was this in front of an audience?

Malcolm McDowell: It was in front of an audience. I think it was about a 500seater, and I did it as a benefit. I didn’t even know there would be cameras there. There was a little video production company just starting out, and they wanted to use my show as a training ground for their camera crew.

Having only read brief descriptions of the movie, I can’t help but imagine it as something akin to one of Spalding Gray’s filmed monologues, in which there are occasional inserts of archival —or specially shot— footage which advances the story along.

Malcolm McDowell: It is a bit like that, yes. I wanted to do Never Apologize, because I felt that the new generation of people coming up had no idea about who this man was, how great a director he was or how influential he’d been on both British and American film!

I mean, Taps was completely copied shot-by-shot from If.... I was so amazed Paramount wouldn’t even put that out on DVD. I called them up and they said “Who cares?” I said now look, how many films does Paramount have that won Cannes?

I would think few, if any.

Malcolm McDowell: Of course not.

I mean, it won the Palme d’Or (then known as the Grand Prix)! It was one of the great films of the period. Marty Scorsese loves it, and I know that because when he came to England with Mean Streets we had dinner and he raved about it.

I tried to get Warners to do O Lucky Man!. Same thing! They didn’t want to put it out. Then I got a call from the continues on p. 16

director of the Edinburgh Film Fest and he asked if I’d come the next year as a guest for a retrospective of Lindsay’s work — which would also serve as a retrospective of my own early work.

I thought, I’ll do one better than that.

I’ll do an original show! I felt a bit like Mickey Rooney, you know: “Let’s get a show together!” (laughs) Do you often accept invitations to come receive awards at film festivals?

Malcolm McDowell: No, I don’t actually. You have to be very careful, because I do get invited to take part in things like this a lot and I know it’s only because I’m not horizontal. (laughs) I’m a man that has a big CV of work.

I mean, it goes on for pages and pages. I think I’m a survivor and a working actor. People ask me “What’s your favorite part,” and I say “The next one.” I’m not interested in dwelling in the past. I still feel I have some great work ahead of me.

So, with that in mind, why accept the invitation to come to the Savannah Film Fest?

Malcolm McDowell: Well, I got a call from Bobby Zarem.

back. Listen, Savannah is not too shabby a town to be invited to! (laughs)

He’s something of the “magic man” for this festival. I think everyone involved must dread the day when his they can no longer rely on his Rolodex.

One of my favorites of your past films has to be Time After Time, which you did with David Warner. Do you care for that film?

Malcolm McDowell: (Laughs) He is a magic man, indeed. He saw Never Apologize in New York at the Lincoln Center a couple of months ago and just flipped for it. My dear friend Bonnie Timmermann is a casting director and producer in N.Y. and she said I should go down and do this.

Also, I hear the students down in Savannah are really fab and the whole thing down there is very well thought of. So, I like to do stuff for young people. If I can pass on anything to them, I’m happy to do it.

Malcolm McDowell: I’m extremely fond of Time After Time — because I fell in love with Mary Steenburgen on that film. We had two children, and a life together. We divorced eventually, but we’re still great friends. Being in San Francisco and falling in love — it was really a magical time. The film is terrific and I think David Warner was absolutely brilliant as Jack The Ripper.

Just fabulous.

Have you ever been to Savannah before?

Another picture that I adore, but which I can never seem to find anyone else who’s particularly familiar with, is one from the early ‘80s called Get Crazy, where you play a hedonistic rock star.

Malcolm McDowell: I have. I was in Charleston and came down for the day.

I’ve never stayed the night. But we came to look at the beautiful city. We checked it out a bit, had lunch and then went

Malcolm McDowell: Oh God! How weird that you’d mention that! (laughs) Allan Arkush, the writer and director of Get Crazy, also did Rock & Roll High School. Now —and this is an example of

the weird ways of this business— I work with him on Heroes. He’s the executive producer, and has directed a few episodes.

He and I were just reminiscing the other day about the time we spent all those years ago making Get Crazy. I love that part. It was my version of Mick Jagger mixed with Rod Stewart. (laughs) That was my way of having a fun little tweak on them. Plus, I got to sing my own songs.

Did you ever get any feedback from either Mick or Rod on your performance?

Malcolm McDowell: I didn’t. But I did get a call from John Lennon’s producer asking if I wanted to make an album.

He saw the film and realized that I was actually singing the songs and was impressed. I asked how he knew it was my voice, and he said because he could understand every word! (laughs) He knew only an actor would care so much for the enunciation.

So, did you actually cut a record?

Malcolm McDowell: I didn’t, because I was busy in L.A. at the time and the

scheduling just never worked out. It was amazing, though, to receive such an offer. I thought at first that it was just some friend of mine playing a prank on me.

Every actor must have one or two projects they’ve worked on which they’re very proud of, but for whatever reason never reach a wide audience. Is there a particular film which you wish more people had the opportunity to see?

Malcolm McDowell: Certainly. I have films which I think are remarkable that have never really been seen. Oddly enough, they both deal with Russian subjects.

The first one is called The Assassin of the Tsar. It was made in 1990 in Russia, and it was an extraordinary time to be there, with the whole Soviet Empire crumbling. I believe I was the first foreign actor to be invited to go to Russia and be in a film playing a Russian character.

That’s an unusual honor and a strange distinction.

Malcolm McDowell: Isn’t it? It wound up being the official Russian entry into the Cannes Film Fest in 1992, and it was reviewed by the leading critic from the New York Times. What’s his name? Canby! Vincent Canby. He said that even though they had dubbed my voice in Russian, that it was one of the best performances of my career. It’s something of a lost film, but I’m very proud of it.

There was another one by an Italian director, which we shot in Kiev. It’s called Evilenko. It’s the true story of a serial killer, and it was one of the most difficult parts I’ve ever done — for obvious reasons. It’s very hard to find a way to do something like that without compromising myself. It’s about four years old and it is available on DVD. I think it’s an amazing movie and I hope people will seek it out. cs

‘Once in a lifetime lottery-size lucky’

Landing Lisa Kudrow makes all the difference for Scott Prendergast’s comedy Kabluey

by JIM MOREKIS | jim@connectsavannah.com

Self-described “complete unknown” Scott Prendergast wrote, directed, and stars in Kabluey, a film about a slacker dude who works as a cheesy corporate mascot and helps his sister take care of her hellion kids while her husband is in Iraq.

Also starring Lisa Kudrow, Teri Garr, and Christine Taylor, Kabluey mixes slapstick with dark humor to tell a tale all too familiar to so many Americans dealing with our current national malaise.

Two weeks ago we spoke with Prendergast, who will attend a screening of Kabluey on Fri. Oct. 31 at 2:30 p.m. at the Trustees Theatre.

You’ve tied a lot of things together here: Iraq, the economy, personal stories. Tell us about this script and how it became the multi-layered effort that it is.

Scott Prendergast: It’s two different movies, really: One is the movie about the mascot costume, and that’s kind of a silly slapstick idea. And the other movie is about a family going through the home front of the Iraq War. My brother is in the military, and he was in Iraq for a year and half. While he was there I was staying with his wife helping her take care of my nephews, just like in the movie. But it was while

I was there that one day the idea for a mascot costume just popped into my head.

I was writing ideas for that, and it really wasn’t connected to my brother or the war. It was just gonna be a really funny movie about a guy with a horrible job. And then the day it all came together was the day I realized the Kabluey suit would witness the sister-in-law having an affair. That’s not something that happened in real life (laughs).

You seem to be very much at home with the physical comedy in this.

Scott Prendergast: In high school I worked as a mascot. I worked at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry as “Super Explainer.” I explained science exhibits to kids. It was horrible.

Also, I was trained as an improvisational comedian and worked a long time in that. And so much of improvisational comedy is telling a joke without actually saying anything. You walk into a room and you’re telling a story with

your body or emotions. So a lot of what you’re doing is silent.

That’s my favorite kind of comedy – not necessarily silent films, but like a Jacques Tati movie, where it’s all about the physicality of what’s going on. That’s so much more exciting than one of these movies where someone is sitting there saying, “I’m really upset, and I can perfectly articulate exactly how I feel,” films like that.

Unlike so many recent films dealing with the war, you treat it not as the cause of our national unrest but as just another symptom.

Scott Prendergast: That’s true. There are all these Iraq War films coming out now, and they all bomb. One of the reasons they don’t do well is because people don’t want to go to the movies and see movies about war. They’re dealing with it every day, movies are for escape.

For me I wanted the war to be in the background. Also in my life it is the backdrop. I go to parties and talk to friends, and they say “how are you?

And I’ll say, I’m a little worried, my brother’s in Iraq.

And they’re like, “What? Why’s he in Iraq?” Uh, well, we’re at war. And they say, “Yeah, but you mean he actually had to go?”

And I say, yes, he’s a soldier, and he went, and that’s the way the war works.

Do you think that’s more of a regional thing? It’s not that way in Georgia because we have so much military presence down here.

Scott Prendergast: It might be more of a regional thing, but I’ve found it be more of an economic thing. When I was in New York visiting friends from college, no one had a single relative at war, no one knew anybody at war, it was just really far away. The women in the movie at the party are supposed to represent those people who are untouched by the war. They’re like, “Oh, right, I heard about that. There’s a war going on.

Aren’t these shoes nice?”

This film deals with a bad economy, which of course is foremost on people’s minds right now. Was the current crisis sort of serendipitous for you in a dark way?

Scott Prendergast: That is serendipitous, although what’s weird is when I wrote the movie it was 2003. My brother went to war then and came back in the middle of 2004. The economic crisis the movie is referring to is actually the internet bust of 7 or 8 years ago. continues on p. 20

The idea for BlueNexion, the company my character wears the mascot suit for, came when I spent some time in Silicon Valley. I would ride my bike around and there were all these gorgeous office buildings that were all completely empty. And that’s because these buildings all had been occupied by these internet startups that got like $6 billion, but failed.

I do remember while I was writing the movie, wondering “Hmmm, I wonder if this war will still be going on when the movie comes out.” And not only is the war still going on, but the economy is worse. And everything the movie said kind of kept going.

So many smaller films are ruined by poor casting, but you’ve done everything right with this one.

Scott Prendergast: We got a once-ina-lifetime lottery-size lucky by getting Lisa Kudrow. When I took the film to the producers they said, “We’re willing to take a gamble on you and we’ll let you direct your first feature and you can write and direct it, and you can also star in it. But you’re going to have to get a really big actress to star in it as the sister-in-law.”

And I said — because I was a complete fool, had ultimate confidence and was very green and didn’t really know what I was saying — I said, well, we’re going to get big actors in all these roles.

And we did.

It was sort of a miracle. We sent it to Lisa Kudrow. And then she called me at home and said, “Hi, I’m Lisa Kudrow, I like your script. Who are you?”

I was like, I’m just this guy – it’s a weird question to answer. And she said, “I love it, I’ll do it. When are you shooting? How big is the budget?”

And I said, um, we’re making it for next to no money. Less than a half million dollars. And she said, “Oh, then it’s a really small movie.” I said, yeah, but it’s going to be great and amazing.

And she said, “OK, I love the script and I saw your short films, and I’m willing to do it.”

My life changed overnight that day.

On the turn of a dime, she changed my life, Lisa Kudrow.

So once we had her, we could go to other actors and say, “well, it’s an independent film, low-budget, but we have Lisa Kudrow.”

And everyone would say, “Of course I’ll do that.” Because she’s like the stamp of approval for an indie film.

And Teri Garr?

Scott Prendergast: The reason Teri Garr is in my movie is because I am a lifelong devotee of Teri Garr. I worship Teri Garr. She’s my favorite actress of all time.

Teri’s one of the most versatile actresses ever. Why is she so underrated?

Scott Prendergast: She had some health issues and she’s been a little out of the loop for awhile. You know, when I say Lisa Kudrow’s in my movie, people will say, “Oh, that’s great.”

Then I tell them Teri Garr is in my movie, and invariably people, go, “Oh my God! Teri Garr?!” People love Teri Garr.

I always make a fool of myself around her because I can’t resist telling her how much I love her and her work. It gets to be a little too much because I can’t stop talking about her.

What was the learning curve like for you working with people on this talent level?

Scott Prendergast: Very steep. You’re working with actors who are incredibly skilled. Lisa Kudrow is brilliant. And I learned so much from her just from watching her work.

She doesn’t do a lot of preparation, she’s a very improvisational actress, and she would just show up and look for inspiration in the moment and do it. She has everything right at her fingertips that she can call on in that moment.

I think the hard part is not freaking out. It’s hard to relax, at least it was for me. It kind of worked for me because my character is supposed to be incredibly nervous anyway.

Lisa just put me at ease quickly. The first scene we did together that first day was when I walk into the house. So I walk into the house, basically walking into the movie.

And after we did one take, Lisa came up and said, “Oh, you’re so good, you’re doing it just the way I imagined.” She put me at ease, and we became friends, and it was a dream come true. cs 11th Annual Savannah Film Festival: Kabluey When/Where: Fri.

Shocking cinema After Sundance screening, The Execution of Solomon Harris hits Savannah

by jim morekis | jim@connectsavannah.com

As the title indicates, The Execution of Solomon Harris deals with an inmate paying the ultimate debt to society — except that his execution is botched.

Did you have serious conversations about how graphic to get with the disturbing premise of the film?

Ed Yonaitis: Going into it, we were very aware of the risk of putting things way over the top. The first draft of the script sort of fell victim to that. There was a lot of screaming and pulling out guns, lots of wildly overdramatic stuff. We knew we had our hearts in the right place, but it really was off the mark as far as the tone we wanted to create.

I reworked the script to keep it at a high level of intensity, but restrained the action and kept everything within one room to try and create an air of claustrophobia. We were very concerned about pushing things way too far, so we kept a lot of the graphic content either off screen or obscured.

We weren’t censoring ourselves; we were instead focusing on the conflict happening within the Head Warden, who must decide if he is capable of putting right the horrifying situation at hand. I didn’t think we needed to show graphic violence to drive home our point.

Tell us about the whole Sundance experience. Was it what you expected? How did it defy expectations?

Any plans to bring back Team G? Ed Yonaitis: Team G is alive and in full force! There was a lull period after we left Savannah where we all moved to different cities, but the vast majority of us are now currently together and residing in Los Angeles. We are all ecstatic to be working together once again.

I’m also happy to announce that the Team is currently at work on a feature film to be shot next year, another co-directing effort between myself and Wyatt Garfield. It’s a lot different tonally from The Execution of Solomon Harris, but I believe it will be more true to myself, as it is a personal story of my family living in New England in the early 80’s. cs

Ed Yonaitis: Sundance was a blast, really. We never even expected it. Hopeful, yes, but completely unexpected in all honesty. We never would have made it there if it wasn’t for support from SCAD. None of our team had ever attended beforehand, so we really had no idea what we were going to get. It was like a dozen of the team members there, all staying in this rented condo outside Park City. Lots of premiere screenings and a few celebrities, stuff you would expect.

What was was especially great was how Sundance gave special attention to shorts filmmakers, throwing press meets and parties specifically for us. It made us feel welcome there, especially in a festival that everyone looks to for up and coming feature filmmakers.

moirA nelligAn

mon 10/27

Ed Yonaitis: The whole concept behind The Execution of Solomon Harris stemmed from an Errol Morris documentary I saw once entitled Mr. Death.

The film focused on a man whose job was to oversee that criminal executions in the U.S. were done in the most humane way possible. In an interview he alludes to a certain case years ago where a prison lost power while they were administering an electric chair execution, forcing them to reroute power while the condemned prisoner remained alive.

This story was only a minor aspect of the documentary, but it made me begin to think about moral implications in such a situation. Are there certain regulations in prisons for these situations? Is it barbaric to leave someone alive and suffering while they carry out the “correct” way to execute a prisoner? Who can be held responsible?

One of the more interesting aspects of taking on this project was my own personal feelings on the death penalty at the time, which were ambivalent. I couldn’t really formulate a solid opinion on whether or not it was right or wrong, since it seemed very easy to

argue for either one or the other. We didn’t go into it with the intent of showing if capital punishment was justifiable or inhumane. We really wanted to explore morality on a very personal level, and focus on the prison guards and the impossible task of taking responsibility for the life of another human being.

It’s movie-Licious

SCAD short has ‘a Mulholland Drive thing going on’ by jim morekis | jim@connectsavannah.com

Though completed last year, Licious is an award-winning student film which will screen at this edition of the Savannah Film Festival.

Starring and directed by SCAD grad Amanda Bayard, Licious uses multiple narratives in its 21 minutes to tell the story of a woman’s struggle with grief. It screens Mon. Oct. 27 at 2:30 p.m. at the Lucas Theatre and Fri. Oct. 31 at 11:30 a.m. at the Trustees Theatre.

We spoke with Amanda last week.

What’s your movie about, and who or what is Licious?

Amanda Bayard: It’s mainly about a woman named Geraldine Walker. It’s basically about grief, and – I don’t want to give away too much, because it’s got sort of a Mulholland Drive thing going on, where I take you on one journey and then sort of switch over, like a car crash.

Basically she’s in these sessions with her therapist, and you get a sense that she’s not really being as truthful about it as she should be. And this fantastical world that she’s living in sort of comes to a crashing halt after her interaction with this little African American boy

named Licious in the park.

This has a lot going on.

Amanda Bayard: This has a lot going on (laughs). It’s 21 minutes, and we had to cut a lot of it down. But everything that I wanted was there. In terms of colors, it’s really heavily saturated. The colors are really popping out there. My cinematographer and I really spent a lot of time going over the shotlist together.

It’s nonlinear too, we’re in reality and in her fantasy world, too, so we wanted these shots to almost be like a painting.

Working on this as my thesis, every department came together so well.

Obviously every film has its problems and issues, but because we were all on the same page we were able to let the movie breathe and be what it needed to be without too many problems.

The composer, who did an alloriginal score, brought stuff to it I never expected, that I never thought we could bring. Two of my producers, I could never have done it without them.

At 21 minutes, this is pretty long for a student film.

Amanda Bayard: They frown upon it in film school. They don’t want you to do 21 minutes. A lot of people wanted me to bring it down to 15 minutes, and I just couldn’t.

We originally had it at 25, and obviously that was too long. But going under 21 minutes we would have had to lose some major plot points. People disagreed with me about it at the time, but that’s kind of where I thought it came together as a piece, and the things I thought were important were still there.

It’s done really well so far.

Amanda Bayard: We showed it last year, and we cleaned up at the SCADemies. We won like, Best Narrative, Best Director, Best Actress, stuff like that. It was very nice.

What wouldn’t you do again?

Amanda Bayard: There’s a lot of things I wouldn’t do again. But that’s how you always feel. The first scene we shot was a huge scene outside. And my director of photography had to light the entire park. And that was very difficult on all of us. It was difficult technically for him, difficult for me because I was directing the movie and the lead actress, it was at night, it was freezing outside. And it would have been nice to have a little more time, but you always say that.

What are you doing these days?

Amanda Bayard: I’m in New York working for Sesame Workshop. I’m working on The Electric Company, a TV show that was on in the ‘70s, that’s coming back again. cs

Scaredy Cats takes you on a strange journey by jim morekis | jim@connectsavannah.com

In 15 minutes, Bossi Baker’s Scaredy Cats takes us on a strange journey in a sort of post-apocalyptic setting with two friends, who meet — you guessed it — a drifter along the way.

Scaredy Cats screens Mon. Oct. 27 at 11:30 a.m. at the Lucas Theatre and Fri. Oct. 31 at 9:30 a.m. at the Trustees Theatre. We spoke to Bossi last week.

Tell us about the genesis of your narrative.

Bossi Baker: The film started as a short story I had written about three years ago. About a year before we made the film I started reworking the story as a screenplay. By the time we started filming we pretty much stuck to the script, so during the actual production of the film there weren’t many changes.

Where was it shot?

Bossi Baker: The majority of the film was shot in Bloomingdale, Ga., on a very large area of land owned by a kind family that lived there and let us come and go as we pleased for months while we built the sets and then eventually shot the movie. Other scenes were shot in Hardeeville, S.C. - primarily the scenes on the train tracks.

This is reminiscent of a number of postapocalyptic narratives. What does your film add to the genre?

Bossi Baker: Although the film takes place in an undefined time period, I guess the most logical conclusion is that it is a post apocalyptic world. That’s definitely the way we thought about the most as we made the film, although I like keeping it open to interpretation. A lot of people have compared its setting and theme to Cormac McCarthy’s book The Road, but I actually wrote the story before that book was released.

As far as what we add to the genre, the story is more about the dynamics of relationships that could take place at any time, and the choices that are amplified by this world the characters are in. It’s less about shock value than some of the other films that take place in worlds like this. It leaves you something to think about instead of just giving you horrific situations without a context.

A 15-minute short is actually a pretty large-scale production by student standards. What were some of the challenges of putting it together?

Bossi Baker: The hardest thing about making it was finding a location with train tracks to shoot on. I learned quickly that it’s impossible to shoot on train tracks if you are a student production with no money.

Eventually we found a set of tracks that hadn’t been used in 10 years, and the only reason we were allowed to shoot on them is because no trains run on them now, and they ran through someone’s private property. Which was beyond perfect for this movie. It was a perfect location, but it was a lot of work getting to it. cs

Blue screen of death

Computer issues are focus of Window Pains by jim morekis | jim@connectsavannah.com

11 W. Liberty St. • Downtown Savannah

Paul Allen Tillery’s animated short only lasts five minutes, but anyone who’s dealt with major computer problems knows even five minutes can feel like a lifetime.

(912) 495-0705

Window Pains uses cartoonish exaggeration to detail the absurdity involved in even the most pedestrian attempt to get help with your ailing PC. It screens Mon. Oct. 27 at 11:30 a.m. at the Lucas Theatre and Fri. Oct. 31 at 9:30 a.m. at the Trustees Theatre.

We spoke to Paul last week.

Tell us about Window Pains.

Paul Allen Tillery: A balding old short man is working on his computer, it breaks, and the film is just him trying to fix it – trying on his own, trying customer service, and getting frustrated every step of the way.

So is it a comedy or a tragedy?

Paul Allen Tillery: A little bit of both (laughs). It doesn’t work out well for him, but the audience is supposed to laugh.

Get A Slice Of The Action

What about this lends itself to animation in particular?

Paul Allen Tillery: It could work for live action, but there are some things with animation that wouldn’t be possible with live action. I had complete

control over how character looks — he’s very cartoony and not realistic in proportion at all. Also the film is dialogue driven but it’s not really English, it’s kind of gibberish – I wanted conceptual contrast where you can’t understand the words the characters are saying, but it’s relatable and you know exactly what’s going on at all points. That works better with animation than with actors.

Is this your first festival?

Paul Allen Tillery: It’s the first festival I heard back from that I’ve been accepted to, so in my mind it’s still the first. But I’ve actually heard back from other festivals since then that accepted my film.

One was at the end of September and another was just a couple of days ago.

But they’re really too far away for me to visit, and the Savannah one will be the first I come in for.

Where do you take things from here?

Paul Allen Tillery: Part of me thinks the character could work well in advertising. He lends himself to getting frustrated with the competitors’ products.

I’m not really sure – of course I don’t want to be a sellout – but I really just want to have fun with the character.

Eventually I want to be a teacher at an institution like SCAD, in computer animation because I enjoy it so much.

Right now I just need some industry experience and I’m not trying to be too specific about what exactly I’ll be doing to get that experience. cs

Growing up Warner New documentary aims to ‘educate, entertain and enlighten’ Most Saturdays as a child, Cass Warner accompanied her Oscar-nominated writer/producer father to the famed Warner Bros. studio lot. Now, decades later, she helps run her own film production company (Warner Sisters) and hosts the Starz cable network’s Conversations With Cass, a one-on-one interview show.

Her latest project to commemorate the cultural legacy of the Warners’ Hollywood dynasty (after a 1993 book that has been called “definitive”) is The Brothers Warner, a just-completed 90-minute documentary she wrote, directed and produced. It’s one of four featured docs at this year’s Savannah Film Festival.

Cass will accompany her film to the event, and we spoke in advance of her trip. Read more at connectsavannah.com.

As a child you were afforded an almost unimaginably cool perk: free rein of the Warner Bros. lot. Looking back, are you surprised you wound up working in the film industry, or more surprised you did not?

Cass Warner: Growing up on the Warner Bros. lot was like being surrounded by a family of great musicians. I heard music being played all the time, so to not partake in the joy of creating is hard to imagine. Visting the lot was better than going to the circus and I found it difficult not to marvel at the magic of this cooperative art form and the family feeling on the sets.

Have you found that people in the business are happy to reminisce about working with Warners, or have you encountered any trepidation?

Cass Warner: Interviewing people has been one of my greatest pleasures. Folks who worked at Warner Bros. have been joyful about sharing their stories.

Have you been involved in the Savannah Film Festival before?

Cass Warner: I have not been involved before, but am very much looking forward to having this opportunity. The

UGA-FLA festival has a great reputation, which is why I submitted my film to it.

Was there any revelation or insight which emerged in the process of making this film that had eluded your previous efforts to document this history?

Cass Warner: In my last 30 years of research, there have been so many revelations that emerged while discovering who these brothers were. My fascination with them as characters and my wish to understand their inner workings and reasons for doing what they did has led me into wonderful worlds of detail and insights.

Have those insights made a significant impact on the way you view the studio and its legacy?

Cass Warner: There are really too many to isolate here. I am very proud to be from a family of filmmakers who loved their art form, and truly knew the value and power of using this medium to “educate, entertain and enlighten,” which was the original motto for their company. cs The Brothers Warner When: Mon., 9:30 am, Trustees Theater & Thurs., Oct. 30, 2:30 pm, Lucas Theatre Cost: $5 gen. public / $3 students, seniors & military / Free to SCAD students, faculty & staff w/ID (scadboxoffice.com) Info: warnersisters.com

Filmmaker Vanessa Gould is the first to admit that when she began work four years ago on Between The Folds, a justcompleted documentary on origami (or artistic paperfolding), she knew very little about its subject.

“I’d heard about physicists and mathematicians using origami in their research, and thought it was simply incredible,” she recalls. “I’ve always found the mysterious threads between art and science intriguing.”

To that end, the director —who also served as co-producer on the independently-financed feature— sought out some of the origami world’s most celebrated and intellectual proponents in an effort to ascertain just what it is about this ancient art form that “demonstrates the innumerable ways creativity and expression come to bear as we struggle to understand and honor the world around us.”

The movie recently premiered at the Temecula International Film Festival, ran in the Rhode Island International Film Fest, and will soon be featured at the New Hampshire Film Fest. It will be screened twice as a competition documentary in the Savannah Film Festival.

Over the course of the motion picture, Gould interviews several fine artists as well as theoretical scientists from MIT and NASA (including a recent MacArthur “Genius” Award-winner) — all of whom are avid paperfolders.

“When I rediscovered origami as an adult,” says Gould, “I was just blown away with all the big ideas it touched

upon. It’s an art form of many contradictions, and really, of infinite depth.

The medium is so accessible, in that all it requires is a square piece of paper!

Yet, in its simplicity, it carries a kind of infinite potential. Because of that, it also draws a great breadth of minds.”

She admits finding backers for the project was “extremely challenging.”

“I mean, it’s a documentary about folding paper,” she laughs. “So most of the financing was done through my own blood, sweat and tears, and the support of friends and family. It’s actually quite nice and pure that way. To have that kind of artistic and creative freedom was thrilling.”

Although only a handful of audiences have seen the film, the artistic license her DIY approach afforded her seems to be paying off.

“While it’s been a bit hard to get people interested —again, it’s a film about paperfolding— it’s been incredibly well received,” says the director. “People are pretty blown away by the artwork, and many say their heads continue spinning afterwards with all the ideas the film presents.” cs Read more and watch instructional origami videos at connectsavannah.com.

jim.r@connectsavannah.com Events marked with this symbol are things we think are especially cool and unique.

Junior Brown, The Luke Mitchell Band

Last seen in this area as an opening act on Bob Dylan’s tour of Minor League Ballparks, Brown is an astonishingly facile, one-of-a-kind country guitarist and singer who’s known for his signature, custommade instrument, the “guit-steel,” which is mounted on a tall stand, and played standing up. It’s a dualnecked axe that features a standard, six-string guitar as well as a lap-steel version. His suit-andtied shows are marked by their relentless, hopped-up energy and a slightly corny approach to retro C&W. Opening will be young, Hilton Head-based songwriter Luke Mitchell, who recently released a most impressive DIY debut of surprisingly mature power-pop and classic rockinspired originals. He was backed on that CD by former or current members of GAM, Superhorse, Argyle and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, most of whom will be playing with him at this gig. Listen & Learn: juniorbrown.com, myspace.com/lukeband. $12 adv. / $16 door at shorelineballroom. com. Fri., 9:15 pm, Shoreline Ballroom (Hilton Head).

Spiritual Rez

This Boston-based reggae septet maintains a fairly grueling tour schedule, but one that has seemingly whipped their rock and funk-tinged sound into an almost impenetrable fortress. There are no cracks in this pyramid — just dead heavy chank guitar, popcorn snare, a woozy horn section and smooth, soulful vocals. They’ve opened

Rev. Horton Heat, Nashville Pussy, Reckless Kelly

I can’t deny that the last time I tried to take in a rare, independently promoted rock show at this primarily black-oriented dance club, I thought it was quite literally a terrible place to see a band. I know some will think I beat this point like a dead horse, but I feel if someone buys a ticket to a show, they expect to be able to easily see the artists as well as hear them.

Unfortunately, this venue’s ceiling and stage are too low and its layout too convoluted to afford more than a glimpse of the acts’ heads bobbing up and down above the crowd. Only the folks pressed right up against the stage can take in the totality of the spectacle.

That said, this town currently has virtually no venues of any sort that hold enough people to make a show like this financially viable (while still allowing for strong sight lines). It’s still a worthwhile gig to make, as long as you know in advance that you will likely have a fairly hard time seeing the bands.

L.A.-based Wagatail Productions deserve props for continuing to take risks to bring in artists of this caliber and fame, but I can’t help but fear that their willingness to embrace performance spaces with serious flaws may harm these promoters in the long run. Then again, at the last show they did in this room (Dropkick Murphys), I got the distinct impression that hardly anyone there cared that they for major acts like The Skatalites, Buju Banton and Jimmy Buffett — and P-Funk/Talking Heads keyboardist Bernie Worrell has been known to sit in with them

couldn’t see shit, so maybe I’m the one with unreasonable expectations.

The Rev.’s a guitar-slinging Texas psycho-billy legend who came up in the punk scene, but found fame by embracing his love of early rock & roll and roots music. He’s a favorite with the rockabilly, punk and outlaw C&W sets, and is known for putting on kickass shows. Atlanta’s Nashville Pussy are a Grammy-nominated, heavy cowpunk quartet that’s unrepentantly vulgar (who’d have thought?). Opener Reckless Kelly is a terrific, Austin-based alt.country band that’s a favorite of Joe Ely himself (no small feat). They earn tons of satellite radio airplay, and are highly recommended for fans of middle-period Steve Earle, Webb Wilder and Lucero. Listen & Learn: reverendhortonheat.com, nashvillepussy. com, recklesskelly.com. Tix: $25 adv. @ wagatailpresents.com, AMR Music. Tues., 7 pm (doors), Malone’s.

A long way from Macon Country star and Georgia native Jason Aldean plays here Oct. 24

by Bill DeYoung | bdeyoung22@yahoo.com

By the time he was 18, country singer Jason Aldean had played every juke joint, gymnasium and bull-riding barroom in his hometown of Macon. Played them all at least 50 times.

Being a big fish in a small pond wasn’t enough. Following a time-tested trajectory, he loaded up the truck and moved to Nashville, worked every job he could find, showcased and networked and finally landed a recording deal.

Five hit singles, one gold and one platinum album later, this hardscrabble Georgia boy is one of country’s biggest upand-comers. After a few years paying his dues by opening for mega-stars like Tim McGraw, Hank Williams Jr. and Rascal Flatts, Aldean’s headlining the cross-country “CMT on Tour” package with Lady Antebellum.

It’s a long road from the Macon VFW Hall.

“When I got out of high school I was like most kids: You just want to get out and see the rest of the world,” Aldean says.

“You’re hoping that somebody sees you and discovers you, and if you confine yourself just to Macon, it’s probably a lot less likely to happen.

“So for me, it was about getting out and playing as many places as I could, and in front of as many different people as I could.”

Aldean’s country is hard-edged and owes a strong debt to the Southern Rock greats who put Macon on the map back in the ‘70s. His first hit, “Hicktown” (written by John Rich of Big & Rich) is a full-tilt barn-burner, heavy on the electric guitar, with a little sawbones fiddle thrown into the mix.

“My producer found that song, and he called me and said ‘You’re either going to love this or hate it,’” Aldean laughs. “It was right up my alley. Right off the bat, as soon as that guitar lick kicked in, it was something that grabbed your attention.

Which was what we were looking for to get some attention at radio.”

Next came “Why,” a bittersweet mid-tempo ballad with nostalgic echoes of Duane Allman’s slide guitar, and brother Gregg’s weeping Hammond organ.

“Why” went to the top of the country charts; its followup, “Amarillo Sky,” reached No. 4.

“I always thought that the kind of music I was playing was a little different,” he says. “There was nothing else like that on country radio.

“Things you don’t even realize set you apart – for me, it was stuff like wearing a cowboy hat with two earrings. Things like that make people remember you. But I don’t think you ever really know what’s going to work and what’s not. If you knew that, someone would write a book – and everybody’d be famous.”

With his wife and two young daughters back home in Nashville, Aldean is finding life on the tour bus somewhat strenuous.

“It’s a lot more work than I thought it would be,” he admits.

“That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but I don’t think a lot of

people realize how much work goes into us putting on one show.

“I thought it was as simple as you make a record, then go play your shows, and that’s it. It doesn’t really work like that. You do that 200 days a year, and it keeps you away from home a lot. That’s probably the real downside, that you don’t get to hang out and see family a whole lot.

“That’s the worst part, but I can’t really complain about anything else.

Although sometimes I think I’d like to go to bed and sleep for 12 days, but that’s not really realistic.”

“Johnny Cash” and “Laughed Until We Cried,” from Aldean’s second album, Relentless, both went Top 10 this year. Still, he says, he’s not taking anything for granted just yet. He looks to his top-dollar road buddies for inspiration.

“Take Tim McGraw,” Aldean offers. “That’s guy’s been around for what seems like forever, and you don’t stay around that long by doing things the wrong way. So I pay attention to not only how they handle themselves onstage, but offstage, behind the scenes, how they try to go the extra mile for their fans.

“It’s like there’s a free education out here, as long as you pay attention and learn.” cs Jason Aldean, with Lady Antebellum and Eric Durrance Where: Civic Center’s Johnny Mercer Theatre, 301 W. Ogelthorpe Ave., Savannah When: 8 p.m. Oct. 24 Tickets: $26.75 Online: etix.com

Famed New Orleans power trio Porter Batiste Stoltz play the Live Wire by jim reed | jim.r@connectsavannah.com

You can look all around this whole wide world and not come across another band that sounds like PBS. There are some that sound similar, but the unique approach and dynamic — not to mention the almost hypnotic grooves this intense and relentless power trio are capable of conjuring up— at their fabled live shows belongs to no one else.

Comprised of three key members of the Funky Meters (Big Easy rock and R&B royalty whose lineup set the standard for greasy, chicken-fried strut for decades), this tighter-thanimaginable band blur the line between syncopated N’awlins call-and-response, funked-up, rump-shaking dance music, psychedelic rock jamming and improv-heavy jazz fusion.

“It’s like Cream playin’ James Brown,” laughs guitarist and vocalist Brian Stoltz, who says the camaraderie and empathy between he and his bandmates is what keeps them together — and allows them to lay down such monster tracks.

“It’s kinda like there’s three people playing, but really only one instrument,” he says with a hearty laugh.

“You know, over the years we’ve played together so much. I joined the Funky Meters with George (Porter, Jr.) and Russell (Batiste) in 1994, I believe. So, there’s a common bond of music between us. The bond itself is hard to explain. It’s the sound of three individuals finding that one bandwidth or space where there’s one communal mind working.”

That fruits of that communal mind are evident in abundance on the group’s latest album, Moodoo. Recorded live in Burlington, Vt. in November 2007, the record documents the energy and ferocity of the band’s live shows, with an added bonus: keyboardist Page McConnell of the jam-band legends Phish sits in with the group on more than half the tracks.

His swirling organ adds yet another color to the PBS palette, and helps the group soar on what will likely go down as one of the more memorable live albums released this year.

While devoted fans of both Phish and PBS have been searching fruit-

L-R: Stoltz, Porter, and Batiste

lessly for any recorded evidence of this impromptu collaboration, it turns out that the group had a quality recording of the show stashed away the whole time — even though until recently, they had no intention of releasing it.

“We multi-track record ever single show, just to have ‘em,” explains Stoltz.

“Somewhere around February of this year, we started to think we should try to have a new album out to sell around the time of the (New Orleans) Jazz Fest, but even though we had a few studio tracks done, there was no way we’d have a full record finished. So, we started digging through live tracks and we remembered the show we did with Page.”

The album, which has just hit stores, is being aggressively marketed online, and critical response resulted in McConnell actually joining up with the band for a string of live dates as a featured guest. While some press releases have erroneously posited that the keyboardist will be on hand at this upcoming Savannah gig, Stoltz says that’s a mistake.

“Page won’t be with us on this short run of shows,” he says. “Unless there’s something I don’t know!”

However, Stoltz says he and his bandmates love adding McConnell’s chops into their show, and are eager to tour with him again.

“That will absolutely happen sooner rather than later,” he asserts.

For now, however, fans can grab the album for aural proof of just how much a killer keyboardist does for an

already great rock band, while getting their fill of the group’s default lineup in River St.’s recently retooled Live Wire Music Hall. And although some folks who’ll turn out may have seen PBS before, that’s no guarantee the music they hear booming off that low stage will sound entirely familiar.

That’s because this band is adamant about letting themselves be open to reinterpreting their songs as the mood strikes them.

“That’s exactly what keeps this band together. We’re never thinking about the music. We’re just submerged in it and it just flows. Once you have a setlist that you feel compelled to follow, you have to think about what’s coming next. We prefer to not know what’s coming next! (laughs)” The former Neville Brothers guitarist (whose licks from 1989’s Oh Mercy sessions can be heard on Bob Dylan’s brand-new Bootleg Series boxed set Tell Tale Signs) says that like most percussive, funk-oriented guitarists, he was initially drawn to the drums.

“Yeah, when I was eight years old, I wanted to be Ringo (Starr). But my folks said learn a real instrument first and then maybe drums. I think what they really meant was learn an instrument we can turn down! (laughs)” These days, the joy he brings to PBS’ unusually diverse audience is what keeps the band going, as long as those fans don’t think of the band in narrow stylistic terms.

“I can’t really use the funk label anymore with PBS. We’re so far beyond that, that I just have to write it off. The music we make is growing into another thing. The people wrap into that too and they go along for the ride. That’s when the whole thing just seems to take off.” cs More interview and video at connectsavannah.com.

‘Specific Lines’

Collaborative wall drawings by Heath Rich by bertha husband | b.husband-coyne@comcast.net

The art of the 20th century avant garde was geared towards the destruction of the idea of the artist as creator.

As Max Ernst put it, “I believe the myth of the artist as creator has been destroyed forever. The artist can now witness the formation of the work as a spectator and can follow the phases of its development, with indifference or with passion.”

There are many seemingly contradictory approaches to this concept. For example, John Cage composed music by using the I Ching, the Chinese classic text often used as a divination tool.

French writer, George Perec, imposed a rule upon his own novel, A Void, which determined that it was written completely without the use of the vowel “e”. The 1960s brought us to the opposite end of Max Ernst’s pursuit of the irrational, when the conceptual artist Sol LeWitt could describe his process thus: “The idea becomes a machine that makes the art.”

In the case of these artists, there is no difficulty in such limitations as he puts on himself. They can, in fact, be liberating. But what happens when he invites the spectator to join him?

Another way in which artists of the avant garde have worked toward the erasure of the artist and the dematerialization of the artwork is through the collective or collaborative ephemeral project that occurs outside the market and the museum. But attempts to evade the arms of the market driven art world have so-far been doomed, because an artist has no art career if his name never appears. These are the questions raised

by Heath Ritch’s work, and the historical art context in which his work should be seen.

Heath Ritch’s works are mazes. Like a riddle or a crossword puzzle, the maze is a game devised to challenge and to amuse, whereby it can retain the uselessness (and therefore the value) of an artwork. In this case, Ritch tapes the

boundary lines on the wall. The viewer is then allowed to try to reach the end or “exit” by drawing within the boundary walls in chalk. When the tape is removed, we are left with the resulting line drawing. The one I saw at Starland was on the wall, and the three that will be at Alexander Hall will be on the wall.

At the Jepson, I understand the maze will be on the floor, maybe because it is happening at the same time as a children’s day at the museum.

Ritch has formulated three rules for his participants to follow. These are his own rules and not the usual rules for solving mazes; they pertain to his interest in the finished art project. I’ll paraphrase here: (1) there must be no stopping to look ahead as you make your path; (2) you may only draw on the wall if the path you have chosen is a new path – if someone else has drawn on it, you jump that line until you reach a new pathway you would like to travel; (3) if you hit a dead end, your turn is over and you are no longer allowed to interact with the maze.

I note the use of the word “collaboration”, a word newly appreciated and used within the corporate milieu, now that it no longer has a social and political venue. Since the reason behind the cooptation of such words is to destroy their original, subversive meaning, those of us who believe in the concept will have to develop a new word for it.

I remember a kind of street artwork in 1970 that was started by one person and joined into by a whole town. It was in response to the massive death toll

The rules are: no stopping to look ahead; you can only draw on a new path; and if you hit a dead end your turn is over

(estimated at 500,000) from the cyclone in Bangladesh. Someone put up a sign on the pavement of a little seaside village in England that merely read, “Leave Pennies.” And people did.

All along the sidewalk a trail of pennies wandered uselessly; small clumps featured here and there, but mostly they meandered on, a silent reminder of an innumerable loss of life and what made life possible in that far off place.

It resonated with me because of its anonymity. No artist’s name. No contributors’ names. Nothing but the action it took to place those pennies on the street. The pennies may have blown away with the wind off the sea, as the sea had blown away so many distant lives. But this had been a true collaboration, a spiritual joining of hands in communion with despair.

Ritch is a conceptual artist and mazes are an ancient and metaphysical sport.

Games like this should be played on the streets amid the population, with the rules being laid down by all who play.

They are too serious for museums and art galleries. Their philosophical underpinnings are way beyond the curator’s ability to decode.

But that might finally work to our advantage. All games are metaphors in the end. And all mazes have an exit. cs Specific Lines – a collaborative installation of wall drawings Heath Ritch Alexander Hall, Open Studios on Oct. 25 at 5 p.m.

Do the Time Warp again

Cardinal Rep reprises Rocky Horror just in time for Halloween

by Ashley Jensen | yelsha24_7@yahoo.com

What happens when you combine platform heels, transvestites, and lots of pelvic thrusts? Cardinal Rep’s reprisal of Rocky Horror Show, that’s what!

A show most definitely not for the faint of heart or those with delicate sensibilities, Rocky Horror returns to the Freight Station starting this weekend to sing and dance the night away with an audience of die-hard fans and “Rocky virgins.”

Rocky Horror was a roaring success last year that played to sold out audiences. Fans dressed up and fled to join Brad and Janet on their bizarre night with Dr. Frank-n-Furter and his out-ofthis-world cohorts.

“As a fan, I really enjoyed their interpretation of the play last year,” says AASU student Luke Farmer, “and I hope they let their own voice come out again.”

Some exciting new aspects to this year’s Rocky Horror include a few casting changes and making this year’s production in the round.

“Actors will be coming from around and behind, so the audience really gets to be a part of things,” explains Vincent Carubia, who plays Brad Majors. “It brings a great sense of energy to the show.”

The show’s music is also a huge point of excitement. “With the vocals you really have to hit it like a rock star or it’ll fall flat,” muses Christopher Blair, this year’s Dr. Frank-n-furter.

And hit it they do. The subject matter of each number is unique, chock full of innuendo, and is delivered with power and electricity.

One thing that promises to keep the audience captivated is the show’s continuous action and presence of actor’s on stage. Whether it’s Brad swinging from chains from a back wall, or Rocky doing muscle-clenching exercises from a ladder, there is always something to observe and cackle at.

“You really have to have focused,” says Carubia. “It’s so fast-paced, the audience is heckling and trying to get you to step out of character, but you have to keep going and keep the energy up.”

If the nutty storyline and undeniable raunchiness of the show weren’t enough to attract, the fact that several male actors are dancing around stage in heels and not falling should sufficiently pique one’s curiosity and demand attendance.

The things Blair does in five-inch platform knee-high boots could inspire jealousy in Vegas show girls.

The Time Warp opens October 24 at 8 p.m. at the Freight Station. Don’t be late, or Riff Raff and Magenta will leave without you! cs Rocky Horror Picture Show When: Oct. 24-26 and Oct.31-Nov. 2 at 8 p.m., midnight show Halloween night.

Dressed to kill

Acme Costume keeps Savannah garbed for Halloween

by Lanie Lippincott Peterson | laniepeterson@comcast.net

As Nancy Cox works in her Garden City store, black bats and an evil-eyed witch with claws for hands hang from the ceiling.

Nearby, past the battle axes, fake blood and daggers, are aisle after aisle of costumes — pirate outfits, flouncy dresses for would-be Southern belles, orange-and-black striped tiger costumes and, made from gleaming, white plastic, one of Star Trek’s stern Storm Troopers.

The store is Acme Costume, said to be the largest costume emporium in the Southeastern United States.

Cox counts “thousands and thousands” of outfits, most of them created by her, and all kept in her 10,500-square foot store or a 5,000-square foot warehouse out back.

Acme supplies costumes year-round for birthday parties and conventions, Cox said. But Halloween is her busiest season. As the witching hour nears, she’s hired 20 part time employees to rent or sell elaborate costumes, wigs, shoes and often-gory makeup from morning until 10 at night.

One recent weekday, Krista Harberson, a SCAD faculty member, comes to

ACME to buy light green, diaphanous wings for a college ball.

“I’m going to be the Green Fairy that lives in an absinthe bottle,” she explains.

Also shopping is Statesboro mom Cindy Sheppard, whose 15-year-old daughter plans to dress up as the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz at an upcoming horse show. Smiling, Sheppard shows off her daughter’s suit of silver.

And Savannah resident Ron Cole looks for the perfect Beatles outfit to wear at an upcoming Sergeant Pepper party. He hopes to find that at Acme, Cole says, adding, “I love it here.”

In business since 1992, Cox got her start after years of sewing costumes for her three children.

These days, the 47-year-old Cox says she can sew several outfits in a single day. She’s made tons of dresses for Southern belles, created a goddess outfit, decorated countless hats and made an eerie-looking mask from coyote skin and feathers.

Right now, her pirate costumes are

her most popular product, Cox relates as she walks the length of an area she calls her “pirate aisle.”

The long aisle is full of fancy, white shirts, black vests, black pants, black sashes and wide-brimmed, black hats trimmed with feathers.

And that isn’t all. In another section of the store, Cox offers pirate accessories — bright swords, for instance, plus a useful item for anyone portraying Capt. Hook, a gleaming, golden hook complete with fabric to cover your hand.

Recent movies have made this pirate garb fashionable, Cox notes. Also, there’s historic interest in pirates such as Blackbeard who marauded in this region, she says.

Besides, Cox says matter-of-factly, “Savannah is a pirate town.”

But Savannah is also a town that comes to Acme to rent fairy princess and werewolf outfits; Elvis Presley-style jumpsuits and silly costumes that can turn adults into giant rabbits.

For all her interest in costumes, Cox confesses that she rarely wears one.

“I’m like Cinderella,” she says. “I’m too busy making costumes so everyone else can enjoy them.” cs

W.

Love him or hate him, there’s no denying that George W. Bush is a remarkably controversial figure, so how is it possible that Oliver Stone has managed to make a movie that’s about as incendiary as Kung Fu Panda?

Stone has been down this road before, when he tried to inject sympathy and dignity into the tale of Tricky Dick in his 1995 effort, Nixon.

Yet that feature looks as hard-hitting as All the President’s Men when compared to W., which suggests that Dubya’s only real character flaw is that he isn’t always the sharpest tack in the box.

The film flashes back and forth between the years, but it never manages to find time for any mention of, for starters, his ineptitude in the face of Katrina or his paralyzed state during those first fateful moments of 9/11. Its primary focus from 2000 to now is how sweet, trusting George was largely duped into attacking Iraq since his advisors convinced him that Saddam Hussein possessed WMDs. Stone further decides that every move Dubya makes in his life is to seek approval from a perpetually disappointed father (played by James Cromwell).

The two women in his life -- wife Laura (Elizabeth Banks) and mom Barbara (Ellen Burstyn)

-- do little more than offer, respectively, support and criticism. As W., Josh Brolin provides the proper mix of swagger and insecurity. In fact, practically all of the actors are solid, even if they don’t really represent the real-life figures they’re playing. Jeffrey Wright probably comes closest: His Colin Powell is a conscientious man who’s ultimately too weak-willed to stand up against the warmongers surrounding him. Thandie Newton is amusing as Condoleezza Rice -- she elicited audience giggles whenever she spoke in that clipped accent. Scott Glenn is suitably oily as Donald Rumsfeld, and this character comes off as the only truly odious one in the film. Yes, you read that right. Richard Dreyfuss’ Dick Cheney seems more like a well-meaning if occasionally cantankerous uncle, while Toby Jones’ Karl Rove comes across as a smart, likable guy who’s no worse than any other political player.

Max Payne Imagine The Constant Gardener after a frontal lobotomy, and that’s basically Max Payne in a nutshell. The latest bomb based on a popular video game, the film stars Mark Wahlberg as the title character, a New York cop who, years after the fact, is still solely obsessed with solving the murders of his wife and baby. It sounds like standard Death Wish fare; the picture even opens with Max luring three drug addicts into a subway restroom, then proceeding to inflict Payne -- excuse me, pain -- on them. But as in The Constant Gardener, a major pharmaceutical outfit figures

Body of Lies Body of Lies serves up the superstar teaming of Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe, but it’s the pairing of DiCaprio and the relatively unknown Mark Strong which provides the fireworks in this latest attempt to make a successful motion picture set in the Middle East. Certainly, Crowe proves to be reliable in his role as Ed Hoffman, a ruthless CIA officer who masterminds Middle East operations from his comfy spot back in the USA. Adding approximately the weight of a small child to his normally muscular frame, the puffy Crowe clearly relishes this break away from playing the noble hero, even if his Southern accent proves to be a frequent distraction. Yet it’s the character himself who holds our attention, as Hoffman sees practically everyone involved in this particular spy game as a political pawn, merely there to be moved according to his own whims and desires.

Yet despite Crowe’s shared marquee billing, this is really DiCaprio’s film, as the young thespian handles the part of Roger Ferris, Hoffman’s compassionate point man in the Middle East.

Hoping to track down a bin Laden-like terrorist (a menacing Alon Aboutboul) responsible for a series of attacks on America and its allies, Ferris ends up continues on p. 44

The Secret Life of Bees is the sort of Southern-spun, honey-soaked confection that, in the wrong hands, could have turned out dreadful. Yet Writerdirector Gina Prince-Bythewood largely stays away from grandiloquent gestures designed to manipulate audience emotions, relying instead on sound storytelling and a set of accomplished performers to punch across the story’s humanist appeal. Set in 1964 South Carolina, the story centers on young Lily Owens (Dakota Fanning), who’s haunted by memories of her late mother (Hilarie Burton) and ill-treated by her unfeeling father (Paul Bettany).

Hoping to learn more about a mom she barely remembers, she runs away from home, dragging her caregiver Rosaleen (Jennifer Hudson) along with her. She heads to a town where she knows her mother once stayed, and, upon arrival, she and Rosaleen end up taking shelter in the home of the Boatwright sisters: patient August (Queen Latifah), suspicious June (Alicia Keys) and sentient (if simple-minded) May (Sophie Okonedo). There, Lily not only finds the answers she seeks but also the family she never had. It’s only been two years since I last saw Fanning (in Charlotte’s Web), yet she seems to have passed that vaguely defined mark between adorable moppet and self-assured teen. No longer able to count on the safety net of precociousness (not that she ever really did), the 14-year-old is expected to deliver a full-bodied performance here, and she handles the task like a seasoned pro. Her co-stars prove to be equally memorable, and it’s especially nice to see Hudson handed a role somewhat more substantial than the discarded-tissue part she had in Sex and the City.

into the proceedings, though it’s safe to say that Ralph Fiennes never had to contend with winged demons flying all over the cityscape. That’s not the case with Wahlberg, whose character also has to deal with invincible super-soldiers (created for the War on Terror, natch), a leggy druggie (played by upcoming Bond babe Olga Kurylenko) and a career assassin (a miscast Mila Kunis) who’s about as menacing as a Scooby-Doo plush doll. Rather than focusing on making a kick-ass action flick (presumably what fans of the video game would crave), director John Moore (the lame remake of The Omen) and novice scripter Beau Thorne dress up their simplistic revenge yarn with various twists and turns -- all of which are absurdly easy to predict (if the revelation of the piece’s final villain surprises you, you really need to add more mysteries to your moviegoing diet). Yet even when they do get around to the shootouts and fisticuffs, they prove to be flagrantly opportunistic, rehashing both The Matrix and the John Woo oeuvre to diminishing returns.

traveling to Jordan and entering into a terse relationship with Hani Salaam (Strong), the head of Jordanian intelligence. Hani is a fascinating character: Smooth and shrewd, he appears more at home wooing a foreign blonde at a swanky nightclub than overseeing the torture of an enemy combatant. Yet he’s more aware than any of the American agents -- even Ferris, who he admires more than most Yanks -- on the best way to run antiterrorist operations, and he bristles whenever he feels that Hoffman and Ferris are treating him like a subordinate. Strong, perhaps best known as the villainous Septimus in last year’s Stardust, and DiCaprio, brandishing the proper mix of actorly intensity and movie-star magnetism, prove to be a well-matched team, as their characters alternate between working together and keeping each other at arm’s length.

Better than the vast majority of the post-9/11 terrorist yarns, Body of Lies is both more ambiguous and ambitious than such heavy-handed duds as Rendition and Redacted. Director Ridley Scott (who last teamed with Crowe on American Gangster) and The Departed’s

Oscar-winning screenwriter William Monaghan (working from David Ignatius’ novel) refrain from merely putting Ferris and Hoffman through the goodcop-bad-cop routine: Ferris’ idealism isn’t always beneficial, while Hoffman might be a prick, but he occasionally exhibits more clarity than might be expected. And even a superfluous romance between Ferris and a Muslim nurse (Golshifteh Farahani) allows for some insight into societal disapproval for such a coupling, as the pair can’t even shake hands in public. It’s the extra attention to details such as this that gives this Body its necessary heft.

The Express Like most real-life sports stories coopted by major Hollywood studios (The Rookie, Miracle, Remember the Titans), The Express strips the achievements of any individuality or historical worth and renders them all part of the same gumbo of sticky clichés. Here, the story sanitized to the point of worthlessness is that of Ernie Davis (Rob Brown), who became the first African-American

player to win college football’s Heisman Trophy, only to helplessly stand by as personal tragedy derailed his plans to become an NFL superstar opposite his idol, Cleveland Browns legend Jim Brown. It’s a heartrending tale, yet as presented here, it doesn’t even begin to compete with the classic 70s TV movie Brian’s Song, the ultimate in sports weepies and, it must be said, a film that itself no longer retains its original punch. The life of Ernie Davis has been robbed of its vibrancy, and as blandly and beatifically played by Brown, the character never registers as anything more than a walking sliver of American history.

Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist Nick and Nora (no “h”) were the sophisticated sleuths played by William Powell and Myrna Loy in the wildly popular The Thin Man movies back in the 1930s and ‘40s, and this married team never encountered a criminal they couldn’t bring to justice. By contrast, the Nick and Norah in this new feature are vanquished by the piece’s villains, who are eventually revealed to be director Peter Sollet and scripter Lorene Scafaria (adapting the book by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan). In short, this is one Thin Movie. Michael Cera, who needs to play a Norman Bates-like character to shake things up, stars as Nick, a high schooler and rock’n’roller dismayed by the fact that he’s been dumped by Tris (Alexis Dziena), the sort of vapid princess who in real life wouldn’t even give someone like Nick the time of day, let alone six months of quality dating time.

Through plot contrivances too laborious to outline here, Tris’ pal Norah (Kat Dennings) ends up meeting Nick, not initially realizing that he’s the ex who’s been making all these great CD mixes for an unappreciative Tris. One thing leads to another, and Nick and Norah end up spending an entire after-hours session combing New York for both Norah’s drunken friend Caroline (Ari Graynor) and a secret jam session by the city’s latest “It” band, Where’s Fluffy.

Dennings displays a slightly off-kilter personality that marks her as someone to continue watching (she’s also appeared in Charlie Bartlett and The House Bunny), and Cera’s teddy-bear cynicism -- his wisecracking character is sweet even when trying to be caustic - provides extra zip to a few of his better lines. But for a film set amidst the hustle and bustle of late-night NYC, this is

one lethargic picture, with Sollet’s inert direction bringing nothing to the party.

As for the around-town odyssey, there’s no invention employed in its creation, with characters simply stumbling into each other whenever the plot requires.

(Compare this to Martin Scorsese’s After Hours, in which the harrowing trip undertaken by Griffin Dunne’s character constantly looped back on itself in ways as unexpected as they were delightfully deranged. ) For an infinitely better movie about hipsters looking for love, wait for the recent theatrical release In Search of a Midnight Kiss to hit DVD. That one’s not only more edgy, more poignant and more humorous, but it also knows how to smoothly work its soundtrack tunes into the very fabric of the tale. Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist, on the other hand, remains resolutely tone-deaf.

BLINDNESS After the back-to-back helming of two excellent motion pictures -- City of God and The Constant Gardener -- Fernando Meirelles now goes for the gold (Oscar?) with his adaptation of Jose Saramago’s Nobel Prize-winning novel Blindness. In a modern society in which people have become more disconnected from each other than ever before, it generally takes a crisis of epic proportions to either unite or divide the populace. In this film’s unnamed city (the country and characters similarly go unnamed), the disaster is a lack of vision that affects a significant number of citizens. Since it’s not what we assume to be normal blindness -- the victims state that all they see is white, not black -- the afflicted are quarantined, and if the government knows what’s behind the illness, they’re not revealing anything. One of those infected is a doctor (Mark Ruffalo), who’s then ordered to a containment facility that will soon be harboring others who have been struck blind. The doctor’s wife (Julianne Moore) still retains her eyesight, but not wanting to be apart from her husband, she feigns blindness in order to travel with him. In a variation on the theme that “in the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king,” the wife turns out to be a powerful figure in the ward, as her vision allows her to better help those around her. This especially comes in handy when a blind man (Gael Garcia Bernal) from another ward declares himself “king” and will only allow access to the site’s rationed food supply in exchange for jewelry and, in an espe-

Nights in Rodanthe Diane Lane and the Tuscan countryside prove to be a more dynamic duo than Diane Lane and the Outer Banks, an assertion that immediately becomes clear when placing Under the Tuscan Sun and Nights in Rodanthe side by side.

The coastal-Carolina-shot Rodanthe starts off well as Tuscan Sun’s more serious-minded cousin, but it eventually sinks under the weight of shameless plot devices. Lane, teaming with Richard Gere for the third time (following 1984’s The Cotton Club and 2002’s Unfaithful, the latter for which she earned a Best Actress Oscar nomination), plays Adrienne Willis, who agrees to look after her best friend’s beachfront inn at the same time that her philandering husband is begging her to let him come back. Gere co-stars as Paul Flanner, a doctor brooding over a minor surgery procedure that went tragically wrong.

mother (Charlotte Rampling) into a marriage with the Duke of Devonshire (Fiennes). Georgiana soon discovers that the Duke’s only interest in her is that she produce a male heir, so after she gives birth to a couple of girls, he loses complete interest and embarks on an affair with her best friend, Lady Elizabeth (Hayley Atwell). For her part, Georgiana keeps busy in her role as a society trendsetter, but she eventually finds herself contemplating an illicit romance with her longtime acquaintance, rising politician Charles Grey (Dominic Cooper). The Duke commits some monstrous acts during the course of the film, but it’s a credit to the performance

by Fiennes as well as Saul Dibb’s direction that the character never emerges as a dull, one-note villain but rather an emotionally stifled man whose Neanderthal brain can’t quite grasp certain aspects of civility and respect. Likewise, Lady Elizabeth is revealed as far more than merely a spouse-stealer, and Atwell does an exemplary job of insuring her character remains the tenuous connective tissue between the Duke and the Duchess. As for Knightley, she’s establishing herself as England’s go-to girl for this sort of period epic: A bright and sunny presence in Pride and Prejudice (albeit used far less effectively in Atonement), she’s given greater depths to explore in this picture. She doesn’t disappoint. cs

cially disturbing sequence, sexual favors from the women. Given the material’s expansive canvas, the film ultimately feels too claustrophobic in its scope, and while I imagine the source material (which I haven’t read) manages to draw up some interesting parallels between the disease and our society’s inability to “see” what’s around us, the film merely operates on one plateau, drawing more commonplace comparisons to other literary sources like Lord of the Flies and Animal Farm. Despite strong performances and a few compelling scenarios, it’s plain to see that Blindness doesn’t quite measure up to expectations.

The Duchess A substantial number of British costume dramas focus on the efforts of a corseted beauty to land a husband to call her own. These tales generally end on a “Happily Ever After” note, but The Duchess, based on a true story (chronicled in Amanda Foreman’s book Georgiana: Duchess of Devonshire), begins where the others end and takes matters down a darker route: What if the man you snag turns out to be a complete lout? That’s the central storyline establishing The Duchess, which hands Keira Knightley another plum leading role and serves as yet another example of how Ralph Fiennes’ brooding brand of acting can be successfully employed for all manner of characters.

Knightley stars as Georgiana, who, as a teenage girl in 1774, is entered by her

ARIES

(March 21-April 19) Our government spends an obscene fortune on its armed forces -- almost as much as do all the other nations of the world combined. In fact, we are by far the most weaponized empire in the history of the world, with 761 military bases in over 100 countries. If our military costs were cut down to a more reasonable size -- say the same as China’s -- we’d have a trillion-dollar bonus to deal with the financial infection that erupted here and sent toxic ripples throughout the world. Keeping that in mind as a metaphor, Aries, make this your hypothesis: By reducing the hostility, combativeness, and judgmental ire that you personally generate, you’ll be far more likely to navigate your way toward prosperity.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20) The days leading up to the national election feature a rare opposition between Saturn and Uranus.

Since Saturn symbolizes the past and Uranus the future, we might expect there to be a showdown between what has been and what will be, not only on a collective level but also in our personal realms.

In what areas of your life do you think that will materialize, Taurus?

Identify those hotspots, then get to work coordinating synergistic interactions between the seemingly contrary forces.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20) Write the number ten followed by eleven zeroes. Our Milky Way Galaxy has that many stars. Write a ten followed by twelve zeroes.

That’s the size of America’s national debt in dollars. Now promise me that for the next month, you will avoid absorbing any scary, overwhelming data like the kind I just threw at you. Worrying about the big financial picture would not only be fruitless, it would also distract you from your main tasks, which are as follows: Regard the crisis as an excellent opportunity to shed materialistic obsessions and live more humbly and creatively.

Sublimate your buy-ological urges into biological urges. Stretch yourself to get into closer touch with

your spiritual core.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22) As the stock markets came crashing down, a different kind of global devastation received scant notice.

The World Conservation Congress revealed that 25 percent of the planet’s mammal species and one out of eight birds are on close to extinction. We’re not just talking about exotic animals in remote hideaways, but rabbits and deer and cardinals and turtledoves. As you meditate on how to reinvent yourself in the wake of the financial chaos, Cancerian, please hold a vigil in your heart for the endangered creatures. The two crises are related, after all. The greed to turn everything into a means of generating money has led humans to both despoil nature and risk the crazy gambles that have savaged the economy. The more you understand that, the better your intuition will be as you make personal decisions affecting your future relationship with money.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22) TV’s “The Daily Show” did a mock biography of your fellow Leo, Barack Obama, poking fun at the adoration he inspires in millions of people around the world. Every time he speaks, said the narrator, “an angel has an orgasm.” According to my analysis, you now have a scaled-down version of that power.

You may not incite the same intensity of pleasure in the heavenly hosts, but you could definitely unleash eruptions of raw enthusiasm in numerous humans. I suggest that like Obama, you channel it in service to a cause beyond your own selfish interests.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22) When the planet Uranus comes into play, as it is now, it’s a good time to initiate experiments that will expedite the arrival of future blessings. Pushing beyond comforting habits, you thrive by going in quest of bracing truths, unfashionable beauty, and wild justice.

The symbolic nature of Saturn is different.

It invites you to creatively limit and discipline yourself so that fate isn’t forced to limit and discipline you in unpleasant ways. It so happens, Virgo, that Uranus and Saturn are

now poised in opposition to each other. Will they work at cross-purposes, spawning a sticky mess?

Or is there a way for you to get them to work together? More than you imagine, you have the power to affect how they interact in your personal sphere.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22) “I cannot tell if the day is ending, or the world, or if the secret of secrets is inside me again.” So wrote Jane Kenyon, translating Russian poet Anna Akhmatova. At this juncture in history, that’s a feeling many of us have. Part of the time we’re on the verge of freaking out, halfexpecting some new calamity to befall the world. Other times we’re awash in wonder and awe, catching glimpses of the miraculous flow that’s hidden just below the surface of everyday chaos; we’re tantalizingly close to understanding that everything is proceeding exactly as it should. In the coming weeks, this excruciating poignancy will peak, especially for you. Regard it as a gift -- as a difficult blessing that has the potential to free you of your illusions.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21) What do you do when you’re squeezed between the demands of authority and the healthy need to rebel? How do you respond when the past and future are at odds?

What resources do you draw on when the person you have always been starts to evolve into an interesting new form that you don’t recognize? You’ve come to a fork in the road, Scorpio, when you will be asked to deal with these questions on a larger scale than before. My advice? Study your past so thoroughly that you’ll be able to keep it from repeating itself, and open your mind to possibilities you’ve rarely considered.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

The world is poised at the threshold of a great choice: Should we stick with what has worked for us, even though it’s not working any more? Or should we experiment with possibilities that may work for us in the future, even though they don’t have a track record? You, Sagittarius, can and should be a leader in this epic adventure. The best way to do that is to summon

your dormant courage as you apply the big questions I just posed to the specific circumstances of your personal life.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

A 200-hour Basic Yoga Teacher Training program is offered at Savannah Yoga Center.

It meets Yoga Alliance standards, and graduates will receive a certificate and be eligible for certification by the alliance. The cost for the entire course is $1,500. Call 441-6653 or visit www.savannahyoga.com. Ongoing. Savannah Yoga Center, 1321 Bull St. 912-232-2994. www. savannahyoga.com/

Yogalates Classes

The planet Saturn symbolizes the preservative and conservative tendencies of evolution. It teaches us to learn from the past and keeps us from rushing into the frontier before we’re ready. Uranus, on the other hand, represents future shocks, both the disturbing and benevolent kinds. It disturbs our sleep in order to wake us up and energizes us to reinvent ourselves on the fly. What happens when these two planets slip into an intimate dynamic, as they are now?

Will one of them prevail over the other in a great battle? Or will they coordinate their efforts artfully in a riveting, gorgeous dance? Amazingly enough, the outcome depends in part on you.

are offered by St. Joseph’s/Candler Center for WellBeing on Thursdays from 5:45-6:45 p.m. in Suite 203 of the Candler Heart and Lung Building, 5356 Reynolds St. The cost is $30 for four sessions or $50 for eight sessions. Call 8196463. Ongoing. Candler Hospital, 5353 Reynolds St. 912-819-6000. www.sjchs.org/

AQUARIUS

First City Network Board Meeting

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18) No faking allowed, Aquarius. I mean it. You must do no pretending, tell no dirty lies, and never act as if you know things you don’t truly know. Instead, say exactly what you mean; be more real than you have ever dared to be; be nothing more and nothing less than who you actually are. Why is this authenticity crusade so important right now? Because in the coming weeks, you’ll be setting your life’s tone for months to come. You will be planting more seeds than you can imagine.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20) Uranus symbolizes your instinct for freedom, your drive to express your dormant genius, and your attunement with your intuition. Saturn represents structure and responsibility; when it’s prominent, it’s time to get back to basics and cut down on distractions and excesses.

So what should you do when these two planets are in exact opposition, as they are now? Here’s one hint: We’re all being squeezed between a mandate to head toward the frontier and the pressure to play it safe. To keep from being paralyzed, some of us may have to choose one way over the other. In my opinion, you Pisceans are likely to profit by choosing the Uranian path.
