On the Edge of the Weekend

July 11, 2013

People

By KRISTA WILKINSON-MIDGLEY Of The Edge It’s all Steven Spielberg’s fault.

Because of him and that stumpy little alien with the glowing red finger I still have nightmares. You see, the first film my parents ever took me to see at the movie theater was “E.T.,” and it completely traumatized me. To this day, if I accidentally encounter a photo or commercial showing E.T.’s wrinkly brown skin, bony fingers and piercing eyes I feel the fear shoot down my spine like quicksilver.

It’s amazing the impact films can have on us, whether we’re five or 75. They can transport us to far off places, make us laugh or cry and inspire us with stories of immense courage and determination.

They can also scare the living

daylights out of us.

As a parent, choosing which films to take your children to see can be confusing. Will it be too scary for them? Too violent? Maybe the story is just a little too difficult for a child to fully appreciate. That’s where the first annual St. Louis International Children’s Film Festival (SLIFF/Kids) can help. The festival, which is part of Cinema St. Louis and presented by PNC Arts Alive, is an extension of its big brother the St. Louis International Film Festival. It offers an assortment of film programs, camps and a workshop, geared specifically toward children aged 6 to 16.

SLIFF/Kids takes place July 26 through Aug. 4 at venues throughout St. Louis and the surrounding area. The festival will screen 14 film programs during the event’s two weekends: July 26 through 28 and Aug. 2 through 4 at Webster University, the St. Louis Public Library, the Missouri History Museum, Washington University, Lindenwood University, Ronnies 20 Cine and Edwardsville’s own Wildey Theatre. The Wildey took part in SLIFF for the first time last

autumn.

During the festival’s weekdays, July 29 through Aug. 2, kids can take part in filmmaking camps on live action and animation at the St. Louis Public Library’s Creative Experience. And on Aug. 3, a fullday animation workshop for teens will take place at the Saint Louis Art Museum. The camps are free of charge. The animation workshop is $75 and all supplies and materials are provided.

The films screened at SLIFF/Kids include international and Americanindependent narrative features in both animated and live action and shorts programs. Some of the programs will appeal equally to all

ages while others are designed to serve particular age ranges.

The festival kicks off with “Send in the Clowns: A Celebration of Slapstick and Silent Comedians”on July 26 at Webster University This includes a trio of classic shorts by some of silent cinema’s funniest comedians: Charlie Chaplin in “A Dog’s Life,” Buster Keaton in “One Week,” and Laurel and Hardy in “Big Business.”

Matt Pace of the Rats and People Motion Picture Orchestra will accompany the Keaton and Laurel and Hardy films on piano, and live clowning is provided before, between, and after the films by Sammich the Tramp and the Knocka-bouts and Circus Kaput’s Oh My Gosh Josh.

The festival’s other highlights include a sneak preview of the Disney animated 3D film “Planes;” the Japanese animes “Wolf Children” and “A Letter to Momo;” the international animated films “The Painting,” “Moon Man,” and

“Lotte and the Moonstone Secret;” the live-action films “Alfie, the Little Werewolf,” “Tom Sawyer and His Friends,” “Believe,” “Kauwboy,” and “Standing Up;” and the classic “Return to Oz.” Several special guests will attend the festival. Joey Dedio, screenwriter and star of the feature film “Tio Papi” will accompany the film’s screening on July 27 at the Missouri History Museum. Animator Michael Sporn, winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award, will present programs of his work on the evening of Aug. 2 and

People planner MoBOT plans summer floral display Step into a fascinating desert e n v i ro n m e n t a t t h e M i s s o u r i Botanical Garden this summer, from June 29 through August 4, and enjoy the newly introduced Desert Show: Plants and People of the Western U.S. Deserts. The display emphasizes the important role desert plants play in our lives, highlighting the North American deserts. Visitors will get a chance to see cacti varieties and learn about the use of plants by Native Americans for textiles and food.

Show admission is $5 in addition to Garden admission and is free for Garden members. Sponsorship provided by the Henry Shaw Cactus and Succulent Society.

The show provides visitors with a unique opportunity to become familiar with the plant diversity from the world’s arid regions and provides a venue to exhibit and interpret important plant collections currently not on public display.

Arid and semi-arid regions account for a third of the earth’s surface and contain some of the world’s most important hotspots of plant diversity. The plants that thrive in these regions show an array of fascinating adaptations to the harsh environments in which they grow.

Plants of the arid regions exist at the extreme limits of tolerance o f e n v i ro n m e n t a l c o n d i t i o n s ; therefore the slightest change to the environment can result in the loss of plant diversity, making them one of the most at-risk ecosystems.

The William L. Brown Center at the Missouri Botanical Garden plays an important role in the new Desert Show by presenting how plants provide humans with basic resources such as food, medicine, fiber and other useful products, historically and today. Their mission, “To study, characterize and conserve useful plants and associated traditional knowledge for a sustainable future,” demonstrates ethnobotany through plants and cultural artifacts on display throughout the show.

“Plants provide essential nourishment and resources in the desert cultures of the western United States,” explains Karen

Walker, ethnobotanist for the Garden’s William L. Brown Center.

“This show gives us a platform to explain to Garden visitors just how important collaborations with these cultures are; the Native American people in the Western United States use hundreds of different plant species for food, medicine, fiber, dye and other purposes. This shared knowledge allows us to conduct meaningful ethnobotanical, conservation, and ecological research projects.

Several assorted genera of cacti will be on display including Yucca, Agave, Opuntia and Mammallaria and specimens of the Garden’s private collection, not usually seen by the public, will also be featured.

Two hogan replicas are placed amidst the collection of cacti and cultural artifacts lending a strong sense of the U.S. Western Deserts.

Collections of traditional and colorful Kachina dolls are included in the show. These historic figurines date back hundreds of years and were originally used in ceremonies to capture the essence of desired earthly traits.

The Henry Shaw Cactus Society presents the Midwest’s largest succulent event during the opening weekend of the Desert Show, June 29-30 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Cacti and succulents of all shapes and sizes will be available for viewing and purchase. Ask questions, get growing tips from society members and learn about seasonal plant care, potting and more. For more information, visit www.hscactus. org/show.

Admission to the Missouri Botanical Garden is $8; St. Louis City and County residents enjoy discounted admission of $4 and free admission on most Wednesday and Saturday mornings until noon.

Children ages 12 and under and Garden members are free.

Join the Garden or renew your membership during Desert Show: Plants and People of the Western U.S. Deserts and receive free admission for two adults and all children ages 12 and under for every day of the show. Memberships begin at $65 ($60 for seniors) and offer 12 months of free general admission for two adults and all children ages 12 and under, plus exclusive invitations

The Arts

Foundry Art Centre opening three new exhibits

By KRISTA WILKINSON-MIDGLEY Of The Edge In today’s busy world we can pay bills on our phones, send birthday cards via email and read the latest bestseller without ever turning a page. At work, we are encouraged to “go paperless” by filing important documents away in digital folders instead of printing them. Paper’s practical uses may be decreasing, but many artists still

Participating artists include: Charlene Asato, Barbara Brandel, Deborah Bryan, Peter Bugg, Linda Carreiro, Elizabeth Concannon, Shirley Eley Nachtrieb, Suzy Farren, Sarah Gillespie, Frank Hamrick, Krista Hines, Carol Horstman, Caroline Kahler, Joanne Kluba, Carole Kunstadt, Elaine Langerman, Laura Lebeda, Stacey McAdams, Leighton McWilliams, Shawna Munro, Lisa Nelson Raabe, Pat

Three new exhibits featuring paper art are now on show at the Foundry Art Centre: “The Lonely Shadow,” “Beneath the Covers,” and “Paper Cuts.” The exhibitions will run through Sept. 27.

“We are so fortunate to have these three art exhibits at the Foundry Art Centre this summer.

Although they are somewhat related in terms of the medium they represent – paper – each one is unique and can stand alone on its own merits,” said Executive Director Laura Helling in a statement.

In Gallery I, “The Lonely Shadow: Silhouette Art” features the beautiful illustrations of cut paper artist Clay Rice from his award-winning children’s book, “The Lonely Shadow.” In his book, Rice blends the elegant black and white silhouette tradition with a colorful world and heartwarming story of a friendship between a lonely shadow and a little boy.

Rice’s work has been featured in “Country Living,” “The

Clay Rice carries on his grandfather’s legacy with his own unique style of landscape scenes and children’s illustrations. His work is sought after by collectors worldwide and is own permanent display at the South Carolina State Museum.

Exhibit information states that each profile silhouette takes Rice about one minute, and he estimates he has cut more than 900,000 silhouettes throughout his 32-year career.

“The Lonely Shadow: Silhouette Art” is from the South Carolina State Museum’s Traveling Exhibits Program.

Galleries II and III both feature juried exhibits that explore two very different artistic uses of paper. In “Beneath the Covers,” the artistic

“Paper Cuts” explores “the delicate and tedious art form” of paper-cutting. This juried exhibit showcases hand-cut paper pieces that require “careful forethought and concentration” from a variety of artists. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional paper cut pieces will be displayed. Award-winning St. Louis paper-cutting artist Joyce Yarbrough will be the juror for this exhibit.

Participating artists include: Peter Bugg, Christine Casten, Corinne

The Arts

O v a t i o n s

By KRISTA WILKINSON-MIDGLEY Of The Edge There are lots of places to enjoy high quality theater and the arts in St. Louis, but if you’re looking for a break from the usual array of Broadway musicals and arena concerts, look no further than Washington University’s Edison Theater. Each year the Edison OVATIONS Series brings together a diverse range of presentations from acclaimed national and international artists in music, dance and theater that include new interpretations of traditional favorites and brand new works designed to challenge as well as entertain.

For its 2013-14 season, Edison will host artists from Argentina, Australia, China and the United Kingdom plus presentations that explore the unique experience of growing up in American during the 1960s and ‘70s, the roots of blues and American folk music.

“In St. Louis we have so much arts and culture available, the trick is doing what isn’t already being provided,” says Charlie Robin, executive director of Edison.

Robin says there are three key elements that he looks for when booking artists for the OVATIONS Series. First, he looks for returning favorites that audiences consistently enjoy.

Second, he looks for new and emerging artists within a specific genre that are beginning to gain attention. Third, Robin said he always tries to include a strong international presence in the series. This can be difficult, he says, because touring schedules can mean waiting five or even 10 years before a particular group is able to make it to St. Louis. Still, it is worth the way for what these emerging artists have to offer.

The OVATIONS Series will open at 8 p.m. on Oct. 12 with a special event performance featuring an evening with Grammy-winner Judy Collins at the 560 Music Center.

Judy Collins has thrilled audiences worldwide with her unique blend of interpretative folk songs and contemporary themes. Her version of “Send in the Clowns,” won Song of the Year at the Grammy Awards and her rendition of Joni Mitchell's “Both Sides Now” has been entered into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

The series description states: “Collins’ eclectic sound transcends rock, pop, folk and show tunes. Her impressive musical career includes an extensive catalog from every decade for the last 50 years.” Collins’s career includes 14 singles on the charts with four reaching the Top 10 on the Adult Contemporary chart. She has appeared in nine films and authored seven books.

This special event performance will benefit the Edison Educational Endowment, which funds education programs such as subsidizing tickets for area students to attend field trip performances, providing transportation costs for area schools to FT performances, workshops

for students, community masterclasses, discussions and more.

Next in the series is Mongolian musical group AnDa Union at 7 p.m. on Oct. 20. This group was a breakout hit at the 2012 Edinburgh Fringe Festival and brings a musical style to the St. Louis that many have never experienced before.

Description notes state: “AnDa Union is part of a musical movement that is finding inspiration in the old and forgotten. Self-described music gatherers, these young Mongolians from Hohhot, China dig deep into Mongol traditions and draw their musical inspiration from a repertoire of magical music that had all but disappeared.”

The series will continue at 8 p.m. on Nov. 16 with “Beyond Glory.” This presentation is adapted, directed and performed by Stephen Lang from the book by Larry Smith.

In this emotional presentation, award-winning playwright and actor Stephen Lang brings the stories of eight veterans from World War II, Korea and Vietnam, and renders their first-hand accounts of valor for which they received the nation's highest military award, the Medal of Honor.

The series delves into the world of Argentina’s gauchos with Che Malambo at 8 p.m. on Nov. 22 and 23.

According to series information, “Since the 1600s, the malambo has been their solo and competitive dance expression, performed exclusively by men. Primal energy and diabolic rhythms surge from intricate foot stomping accompanied by drums and guitar. French

ballet choreographer Gilles Brina has created a theatrical showcase that shows the fire and fury of this ancient tradition.”

Baby Boomers will get the opportunity to relive their childhood with “The Wonderbread Years” at 8 p.m. on Jan. 24 and 25.

“The Wonder Bread Years” stars “Seinfeld” writer Pat Hazell, and takes audiences on a “fast paced, hilarity that walks the line between stand up and theater.” The show hearkens back to the 1960’s and ‘70’s and takes a look back on the food, toys, holiday customs, commercials, and TV shows of that amazing era. Treat your valentine to a night of music with Ruthie Foster & Eric Bibb’s “Thanks for the Joy” at 8 p.m. on Feb. 15 at the 560 Music Center.

This presentation brings together longtime friends and collaborators, Ruthie Foster and Eric Bibb who are at the forefront of the new generation of blues and soul. Grammy nominee Ruthie Foster has been compared to both Ella Fitzgerald and Aretha Franklin while Eric Bibb is the godson of Paul Robeson, the nephew of John Lewis, and the son of Leon Bibb. If anybody knows how to perform the blues, it’s these two.

The U.K.’s Motionhouse Dance Theatre will present “Scattered” at 8 p.m. on March 21 and 22.

Series information states: “Scattered delves deep into the majesty and savagery of water, a fundamental force in our lives. This award winning company from the U.K. pushes the boundaries of physical dexterity, melding physical dance theatre, mesmerizing aerial

imagery, and pulsating visual projections.

A huge curved structure serves as floor, walls, and projection screen for a water world in which the dancers move in, on, and through.”

Finally, The Intergalactic Nemesis will present “Book I” at 8 p.m. on April 4 and “Book II” at 8 p.m. on April 5.

Series information states: “In 2011, The Intergalactic Nemesis, ‘Book One: Target Earth’ took over Edison with more than 1,250 individually hand drawn, comic book images following the adventures of Molly, Timmy and Ben as they fought to save the world from sludge monsters from the planet Zygon.

Now, the adventure continues with ‘Book Two: Robot Planet Rising.’”

“In this live-action graphic novel, three actors play all the roles, a keyboardist performs the score and a foley artist creates all the sound effects while panel after panel of graphic images are projected on video screen, transporting us all to a different reality.”

Additionally, the family-friendly OVATIONS for Young People will offer affordably priced matinee shows. These include “The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer” at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Oct. 5, Black Violin at 11 a.m. on March 15 and 500 Clown ensemble at 11 a.m. on April 12.

The Edison Theatre is located in the Mallinckrodt Center, 6445 Forsyth Blvd.

For more information or to order tickets, call the Edison Theatre Box Office at (314) 9356543, email Edison@wustl.edu or visit edisontheatre.wustl.edu.

Sculpture Gardens open at LCCC A fanciful menagerie of colorful blossoms on the campus of Lewis and Clark Community College will present a new feature for garden

visitors this summer.

The newly dedicated Monticello Sculpture Gardens on the college’s G o d f re y c a m p u s w i l l f e a t u re a “Menagerie in Bloom,� with a special selection of plantings in creature form scattered throughout the gardens. “ Wi t h t h e g u i d a n c e o f o u r landscape architects Terra Design, we have chosen a variety of bedding plant favorites whose plant characteristics evoke the images of creatures in our animal kingdom, both real and imagined,� said Lewis and Clark President Dale Chapman. “The special plantings on display this summer are each signified with an interpretive panel, which feature an illustration of the creature for which the plant is named.�

Religion Missouri church disbands after 142 years AURORA, Mo. (AP) — Eileen Hauser passed out bulletins during a recent Sunday morning service at First Christian Church of Aurora, as she had for years.

The 91-year-old, who started a t t e n d i n g t h e c h u rc h i n t h i rd grade, hugged, kissed and shook hands with the nearly 150 visitors, local pastors and church members who came to the service.

They all came to say goodbye to the church, which after 142 years, would close its doors for the last time when the service ended earlier this month, The Springfield News-Leader reported.

Hauser said that the church has "meant everything" to her. She was baptized in the church 73 years ago, and her two children g re w u p i n t h e c o n g re g a t i o n .

"It's been the highlight of my life to be able to attend church here

each Sunday," she said.

Pastor Charlie Bahn cited a dwindling congregation and mounting expenses as the reason for the church closing.

Bahn started preaching at First Christian Church in 2005.

"There are these thoughts about what else could we have done, or should we have done something different," he said.

"It's heartbreaking to see a church close."

The final church service featured four former pastors as s p e a k e r s . T h e re h a v e b e e n 5 5 pastors and interim pastors over the 142 years.

G e o r g e L a t i m e r, p a s t o r f ro m 1 9 7 6 t o 1983, said, "I've performed 93 funerals associated with this church. Maybe this is 94."

The church organized in 1871 with 150 members and moved into its brick building

in November 1908. The church had as many as 500 members in the 1940s, according to a church history booklet.

Lately, services have drawn about 20 members. Bahn said six or seven members were lost each year.

Bahn was pleased to see all of the visitors last Sunday morning.

"It's like a homecoming," he said. "Today is a joyful day of celebrating, but in the coming days, there will be tears."

One visitor, Shirley Nunn, of Springfield, said she attended the church growing up but hasn't been back in six years.

She was glad to have a time to say goodbye. "This is home," she said.

Rose Ann Kester has attended the church with her husband, Clark, for 40 years, and both were church elders. "Well, you know it's like the close of an

U.S. cardinal says Austrian priest who advocates female ordination can't speak at local parish BOSTON (AP) — Cardinal Sean O'Malley banned an Austrian priest from speaking at a parish because the priest advocates ordaining woman and making celibacy for priests optional.

another part-time pastoral job in the area.

As far as the church building's future is concerned, Bahn is uncertain.

"It's a very solid building," he said. "The agents told me t h e c h a n c e o f a n o t h e r c h u rc h buying it is remote, but we've had other groups contact us, so it might happen."

Former pastor Loyd Gentry preached at the church from 1969 to 1975.

He encouraged church members to remember all of the people across the world that First Christian Church has helped throughout the years and all of the memories that have been made.

"There will always be a First C h r i s t i a n C h u rc h A u ro r a , " h e said. "You can lock the doors, but the church is more than the building."

National Cathedral rings bells to celebrate Supreme Court's ruling on gay marriage WA S H I N G TO N ( A P ) — T h e National Cathedral rang its church bells, along with some other Washington churches, to celebrate the Supreme Court's decisions on gay marriage.

Cathedral spokesman Richard Weinberg said the bells rang at noon Wednesday. Bells were also set to ring at other Episcopal, Methodist, Presbyterian, Unitarian and other Christian churches.

In a statement, the cathedral's dean, the Rev. Gary Hall, says the church is ringing its bells "to celebrate the extension of federal marriage equality to all the samesex couples modeling God's love in lifelong covenants."

You Gotta' Eat

Getting adventurous at the Oriental Spoon

By BILL ROSEBERRY Of The Edge I tapped into my adventurous side for this edition of You Gotta' Eat, diversifying myself with my first experience with Korean cuisine.

I didn’t have to go far to enjoy my initiation with these delicacies from the other side of the world either. In fact, I stayed in Edwardsville, visiting 229 Harvard Dr. — the Oriental Spoon.

I was urged to try the Oriental Spoon by my friend Sara who was not a Korean food rookie like me. She accompanied me on my trip, her first to the Oriental Spoon. I have to say we were both very satisfied.

I didn’t know what to expect. I enjoy Chinese food — well at least the American version most of us are used to — and I have had sushi, but that is about the extent of my Asian cuisine experiences. (Hence why I looked like an uncoordinated buffoon when I tried to eat my food with chopsticks, quickly causing me to switch to a fork and knife.)

Our server was very helpful in breaking down the menu and of course Sara helped me in my decision making also. If spicy food isn’t your thing then you have to be cautious and ask questions because it can get a little hot, but there are plenty of options.

Korean food consists mainly of rice, vegetable and meat dishes and choices of sweet or spicy soy sauce. Vegans enjoy Oriental Spoon also due to many vegetarian entrées using tofu.

We started our meal with an order of crispy egg rolls off the appetizer menu. We went with the mixed choice which had two vegetable and two pork egg rolls. The star of this appetizer was the delicious peanut butter dipping sauce though. The peanut butter sauce is said to be made from scratch and gave the egg rolls a sensational taste.

The egg rolls themselves were good. The flaky shell had a favorable texture and flavor and the ingredients were extremely fresh.

Next came a traditional Korean side dish that Sara highly recommended to me called Kimchi. It is a Korean staple.

Kimchi is a fermented vegetable dish comprised of either napa cabbage, Korean radish

12

or cucumbers. The dish is fermented in a brine of ginger, garlic, scallions and chili pepper.

Kimchi is a healthy side served commonly with Korean entrées. It is packed with vitamins, calcium and iron and its most beneficial ingredient is a bacteria called lactobacilli, commonly found in yogurt and fermented foods that aids in digestion.

At Oriental Spoon, the Kimchi is made with cabbage. The surprise to my palate came when I took my first bite and realized it was served cold. Cold can only be used as the description of the temperature though because on the spicy scale it had some heat.

The chili pepper gave the cabbage a red coloring and was the culprit of the spiciness.

It offered a nice kick which could get a little overwhelming but it was still good.

I will definitely vouch for the fresh taste of the Kimchi and if you’re into some hefty spice with your food then this healthy side will be up your alley.

Finally we dug into our main courses. Sara and I both went with bulgogi dishes which are good for Korean food beginners. In Korean dialect bulgogi translates to “fire meat.” It

On the Edge of the Weekend

July 11, 2013

refers to marinated meat traditionally grilled on a gridiron or griddle and then stir fried with a plethora of fresh vegetables and either a sweet or spicy Korean soy sauce and served with a side of steamed white rice.

I chose the shrimp bulgogi while Sara went with the beef bulgogi, both of which were fixed with the sweet soy sauce. These dishes were the bomb. I would recommend them to anyone who visits Oriental Spoon.

The ingredient that put it over the top was the sauce. It was somewhat in familiarity to the peanut butter sauce that accompanied the egg rolls, but sweeter. I loved it.

My shrimp bulgogi was mixed with scrambled eggs, onions, green onions, carrots, broccoli, cabbage and roasted sesame seeds. The shrimp were plump and fresh while the veggies were the same. I devoured the entire dish still longing for more.

The beef bulgogi was slightly different – sautéed with onions, green onions, carrots, mushrooms, cabbage and roasted sesame seeds. It was also very delicious.

The price was a little hefty, but not overwhelming. For both of us to eat the overall bill

was between $35 and $40.

There are plenty of other options to choose from at Oriental Spoon also, some cheaper than the bulgogi too. The bulgogi was the most expensive portion of the menu.

On the starter menu there are the gim rolls, which are hand-rolled, deep-fried seaweed rolls stuffed with glass noodles and carrots.

There are also the tofu fries, fried and served with a special soy dipping sauce to name a couple options.

There is a noodle soup section of the menu which has options like bulgogi noodle soup with wheat-flour noodles in a garlic and sweet soy sauce and onions, green onions, carrots and cabbage and udon, which is thick wheatflour noodles served with seafood and vegetables in a hot broth.

On the main course docket there is a section called gatsu, which are breaded and deep fried cutlet dishes served with steamed rice.

The chicken gatsu offers breaded chicken strips served with Korean barbecue sauce, mushrooms and onions along with a side of steamed white rice and fresh broccoli and cabbage.

There is also a section of bap dishes which are based with rice, some options including fried eggs on the top.

There is the Kimchi bap which is stir fried rice served with the spicy cabbage, diced ham and a sesame seed sauce capped off with a fried egg on top.

There are also traditional desserts available like the hoi-hoi, a Korean rice and wheat flour pancake with a honey and brown sugar filling, topped with powdered sugar and served with strawberry jam.

You can also order traditional Korean teas and beers at Oriental Spoon.

The restaurant is small, but the ambiance is intimate. It’s definitely a place I would return to expand my horizons. Maybe I can even perfect eating with a pair of chopsticks, but I doubt it.

Oriental Spoon is open for lunch and dinner Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Takeout is available and the restaurant can be reached at 655-9633.

A look inside the Fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis.

It's the ultimate dinner and a show Fox plans special events for summer

By KRISTA WILKINSON-MIDGLEY Of The Edge Savor the culinary delights of old Hollywood and the “City of Light” this summer at two very special dining events in the spectacular surroundings of the Fox Theatre.

The theater may be closed for renovation this summer, but you can still enjoy a fun night at the Fox with these two unique dinners featuring cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, 4-course dinners with accompanying wines, and live entertainment in the Fox’s Grand Lobby.

“We just thought that since the Fox is closed all summer because we’re redoing the ceiling of the auditorium – the complete auditorium is scaffolded – it would be fun to do something to bring people into the Fox in the air conditioned splendor,” said Mary Strauss, Partner of Fox Associates, in a telephone interview with the Edge.

Strauss said the dinners are in collaboration with Thom Johnson of Fox Event Services and Fox Theatre Chef Stephen Proctor.

“We just thought, ‘Let’s do some fun, upscale dinners that we never get to do normally,” she said.

Travel back in time to Hollywood’s Golden Age when the Fox hosts Dinner with the Stars: A Taste of Old Hollywood on Saturday, July 27. This glamorous evening recreates a bygone era when Hollywood’s biggest stars mingled over cocktails at famous haunts such as Chasen’s, The Brown Derby, Ma Maison and Romanoff’s.

“We had so much fun. We went through all these old cookbooks from Hollywood, and we did recipes from all the favorite haunts that are no longer there,” said Strauss. “We just picked these great items from the menus and put them into a four-course dinner so you don’t have to pay your plane ticket to go to old L.A., we’re bringing it to you.”

Strauss said one of the best parts of going through the old menus was discovering little tidbits about the famous stars who ate at these restaurants.

“When Elizabeth Taylor was making “Cleopatra” in Italy, she had Chasen’s send her by airplane, once

a week, their famous chili. So, one of our courses is ‘Elizabeth Taylor’s Favorite Dish’ and Sinatra loved Chasen’s. It’s just fun to get these old items back that we never get to eat anymore,” Strauss said.

Tom Heitman, a Sinatra Songbook specialist, will perform an “Homage to Frank Sinatra” for the evening’s entertainment. Reservations are requested by July 19.

If you can’t make it to the July dinner, you’ll get a second chance to dine at the Fox when the theater hosts Dinner with Josephine Baker & Friends: An Evening in Paris on Saturday, Aug. 24. This evening will transport guests to the “City of Light” to enjoy a sumptuous French culinary repast. Direct from New York, Cheryl Howard will give a special performance as the sensational Josephine Baker. Reservations are requested

by Aug. 19.

Both dinners will provide the public the opportunity to visit the Fox Theatre during the current restoration of the auditorium ceiling. The entire auditorium has been covered in scaffolding from floor to ceiling to allow for a complete cleaning, touch up painting and fabric repair to restore the ceiling to its original 1929 splendor.

The restoration will be completed in early September just in time to kick off the Fox Theatre’s 31st Broadway Season. Public tours of the theatre are available now through Aug. 16. The results of the renovation will be revealed at a special “unveiling” event in September.

Additional information will be available at a later date.

For each dinner, cocktails will be served at 7 p.m. and dinner will be served at 8 p.m. Guests will be seated at tables of eight. Cocktail attire is requested.

Tickets are $300 each and include pre-dinner cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, a four-course dinner with accompanying wines, live entertainment, and reserved parking.

Tickets are available by calling (314) 535-2369 or online at metrotix.com.

Reservations for each dinner are limited to 100 people.

“It’s a great excuse to dress up, and it’s a great excuse to do something fun and unique,” said Strauss.

“Much Ado About Nothing”

Joss Whedon’s bare-bones contemporary adaptation is the cinematic equivalent of Shakespeare in the parking lot — and proof, again, that it doesn’t take much doing to bring Shakespeare to life. Whedon shot his “Much Ado” at his Los Angeles home over just 12 days immediately after production for a slightly larger film he directed: “The Avengers.” It’s almost surely the only time the Bard has been performed with a suburban golf course in the background. The verbal duel of “Much Ado” pits the proud bachelor Benedick (Alexis Denisof) against the quick-tongued Beatrice (Amy Acker), as they sling clever put-downs back and forth, even as they’re drawn together by their scheming friends. Most of the cast (including, memorably, Nathan Fillion as the bumbling Constable Dogberry and Clark Gregg as the governor Leonato) are long-time Whedonites, veterans from his TV shows (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”) and films. One would expect Whedon, given his knack for wordplay, to highlight the verbal joisting and really chew the play’s choice lines. But much of the acting doesn’t make the language pop (Denisof is particularly without snap) and the wan black-and-white photography bleaches the play of its snappiness. Acker gives a likable and lithe performance, even if its lacks the commanding presence Beatrice deserves. More effort, it feels, went into making the play feel natural than making it sing. This “Much Ado” (for which Whedon also composed the music) is best considered a charming dress rehearsal.

RATED: PG-13 for some sexuality and brief drug use.

RUNNING TIME: 109 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two and half stars out of four.

“The Bling Ring”

Given that the film currently ruling the box office is about Americans encouraged by their government to indulge their homicidal urges one night a year — we’re talking about “The Purge” — it’s tempting to hail the clueless young burglars in “The Bling Ring” as veritable humanitarians. After all, they’re not out to kill or even hurt anyone. All they want is your designer shoes, your cute tops, your Rolex watches, your cash. And if you’re not a hot young celebrity they’ll leave you alone anyway. Not that Sofia Coppola’s latest film, based on a true story, isn’t chilling. It is, and not only because it displays the soulless nature of our fame-obsessed youth culture. It’s also that Coppola doesn’t judge these kids. It’s intentional, but it makes the whole enterprise a little depressing. Coppola bases her movie on a 2010 Vanity Fair article about the socalled Bling Ring, a group of mostly 19-year-olds who stole some $3 million in jewelry and designer goods from Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and others. It’s obvious that Coppola knows this milieu, what these kids wear and how they speak.

Coppola has chosen newcomers for leads, and gives her most famous cast member, Emma Watson, a supporting role. She’s by far the most fun to watch.

On the Edge of the Weekend

“Man of Steel”

It has been a black eye for Hollywood that throughout this, the unending and increasingly repetitive age of the superhero blockbuster, the most iconic son of the comics has eluded its grasp like a bird or, if you will, a plane.

New hopes of box-office riches and franchise serials rest on Zac Snyder ’s latest attempt to put Superman back into flight. But Snyder ’s joyless film, leaden as if composed of the stuff of its hero’s metallic nickname, has nothing soaring about it. Flying men in capes is grave business in Snyder ’s solemn Superman, an origin tale of the DC Comics hero that goes more than two hours before the slightest joke or smirk. This is not your Superman of red tights, phone booth changes, or fortresses of solitude, but one of Christ imagery, Krypton politics and spaceships. Beefy Brit Henry Cavill inherits the cape, with Russell Crowe and Ayelet Zurer serving as his Krypton parents, and Kevin Costner (back among the corn stalks) and Diane Lane as his earthly ones.

When General Zod (Michael Shannon) comes to Earth, Clark Kent must embrace his previously hidden away powers. Snyder (“300”) doesn’t have the material or inclination to make his grim film as thought-provoking as “The Dark Knight” by Christopher Nolan (a producer here). The gravity that cloaks this Superman is merely an en vogue costume.

RATED: PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence, action and destruction, and for some language.

RUNNING TIME: 144 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.

“World War Z”

Might there be a real zombie apocalypse one day? The way zombies have invaded our pop culture the last several years, it’s maybe a bit less implausible than it once was. What IS increasingly quite plausible, alas, is a global pandemic, and “World War Z,” the long-awaited Brad Pitt thriller, cleverly melds that real-life threat into the more fanciful zombie premise. Talk about more bang for your buck: Once you’ve settled back into your seat after a good snarling zombie chase, there’s nothing like the thought of a SARS outbreak to get the blood racing again. Despite the much-discussed production delays and budget overruns, this movie, based on the 2006 novel by Max Brooks (son of Mel), is pretty much what you’d want in a summer blockbuster: scary but not-too-gross zombies, a journey to exotic locales, a few excellent action scenes, and did we mention Pitt? As Gerry Lane, a former U.N. investigator called upon to save the planet, Pitt is a calm, intelligent presence amid the insanity. The most impressive scene is at the beginning, as the streets of Philadelphia are suddenly overrun by packs of wild, raging zombies. For an hour, the action is swift: North Korea, Israel, a harrowing plane crash. The final act takes place on a dramatically smaller scale, and at a slower pace. Oh, a reminder: Turn off those cellphones. After all, it’s not just your movie-going partner you’ll annoy here. Cellphones also happen to awaken zombies.

Consider yourself warned.

RATED: PG-13 for intense frightening zombie sequences, violence and disturbing images.

“Monsters University”

Pixar’s prequel to 2001’s “Monster’s University” is neither a bold return to form nor another misfire following “Brave” and “Cars 2,” but a charming, colorful coming-of-age tale that would be a less qualified success for all but Pixar. The profusion of sequels is indeed dismaying for a studio that so frequently has prized originality. But this is nevertheless pleasant, amiably animated family entertainment. Our expert “scarers” to be — the wisecracking pipsqueak Mike Wazowski (the perfectly paired Billy Crystal) and the burly James B. Sullivan (John Goodman) — are college freshmen with high aspirations in Monster University’s prestigious Scare Program. Wazowski is a lime green ball of wide-eyed idealism, a bookworm oblivious to his total lack of fright-inducing menace. Sully is a naturally talented legacy, a lazy jock and son of a famous scarer. Director Dan Scanlon, a veteran Pixar storyboard artist, populates the collegiate life with rich detail and sly but not forced references. The film ultimately makes a surprisingly sharp lesson on the hard truths of limited talent: Giftedness remains a continuing Pixar theme.

RATED: G. RUNNING TIME: 103 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

“The Lone Ranger”

There’s a limit, it turns out, to how much Johnny Depp and a bucket of makeup can accomplish.

In “The Lone Ranger,” Gore Verbinski’s flamboyant reimagination of the hokey long-running radio show and ‘50s cowboy TV series, Depp eagerly attempts to recreate the extravagant magic of his similarly farcical Jack Sparrow of Verbinski’s “Pirates of the Caribbean.”

With cracked white and black streaks down his face and a dead crow atop his head, Depp’s Tonto (whose look makeup artist Joel Harlow took from the Kirby Sattler painting “I Am Crow”) appears more witch doctor than warrior. One would think that a so-costumed Depp careening through the Old West with Buster Keaton aplomb would make “The Lone Ranger,” at worst, entertaining.

But Verbinski’s film, stretching hard to both reinvent an out-of-date brand and breathe new life in the Western with a desperate onslaught of bloated set pieces, is a poor locomotive for Depp’s eccentric theatrics. For 2 1/2 hours, the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced “Lone Ranger” inflates, subverts and distorts the conventions of the Western until, in an interminable climax, the big-budget spectacle finally, exhaustingly collapses in a scrap heap of train wreckage.

“The Long Ranger” is, alas, a runaway train. A filmmaker of great excess, Verbinski’s ricocheting whimsy here runs off the rails. Flashback-heavy plot mechanics, occasionally grim violence (bullets land in bodies with the loudest of thwacks, a heart gets eaten) and surrealistic comedy add up to a confused tone that seems uncertain exactly how to position Depp’s Tonto in the movie, to say nothing of Armie Hammer’s wayward Lone Ranger.

“The Lone Ranger,” RATED: PG-13 for sequences of intense action and violence, and some suggestive material.

Running time: 149 minutes.

"White House Down" refreshingly dumb

By JAKE COYLE Associated Press Staggeringly implausible, cartoonishly comical, Roland Emmerich’s “White House Down” is refreshingly dumb.

Refreshing because carefree action absurdity, once the province of the summer cinema, is on the outs. Solemnity — even for caped, flying men in tight-fitting trousers — is in.

But there’s an inarguable, senseless pleasure in watching Jamie Foxx, as the president of the United States, kicking a terrorist and shouting: “Get your hands off my Jordans!” Hail to the chief, indeed.

“White House Down” follows Antoine Fuqua’s “Olympus Has Fallen,” released in

March, as the second movie this year to imagine an assault on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The two films are very similarly plotted, but “White House Down” is notably less serious, more content to loosen the strings and acknowledge its own inherent preposterousness.

This becomes particularly crystalized somewhere around the time Foxx’s President James Sawyer and his rescuer, Channing Tatum’s wannabe secret service agent, are careening across the White House lawn in the president’s limo while terrorists shoot in pursuit. Onlookers behind a fence — media, regular people, the Army — merely gape in awe, as if frozen by the idiocy.

“White House Down” is most entertaining

when it’s a simple, ludicrous buddy movie, with Tatum and Foxx fleeing across the White House grounds, dropping one-liners as they go, eluding a gang of assailants led by a bitter turncoat (James Woods) and his ferocious henchmen (including Jason Clarke, swapping sides in the war on terror following “Zero Dark Thirty”).

This is a kind of coronation for Tatum as a movie star. He’s now reached the level that he can breeze through a blatantly silly movie and look none the worse for it. He’s John Cale (not to be confused with the Velvet Underground musician, although, how could you?), a Silver Star veteran of Afghanistan and a police bodyguard to the speaker of the house (Richard Jenkins).

For his Secret Service interview at the White House, he’s brought along his politics-obsessed 11-year-old daughter (the promising Joey King).

But it goes poorly, partly because his wouldbe boss turns out to be an old flame (Maggie Gyllenhaal) who doubts he’s grown up. There’s some reason to believe her, since Cale (in the mold of most action heroes) is an absentee, divorced dad.

It’s an archetype defined by Bruce Willis in “Die Hard,” a movie “White House Down” apes right down to the wife-beater tank top.

When the Capitol dome is detonated and the White House invaded, Cale is separated from his daughter and stumbles into the kidnapping of the president.

"World War Z" entertaining, enjoyable

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH For The Edge I made the conscious decision to stave off the appeal of a few new blockbusters ("The Heat," "White House Down") and the lure of advance screenings of 4th of July releases ("The Lone Ranger," "Despicable Me 2") to review "World War Z" for you. The zombie apocalypse thriller from producer and star Brad Pitt, you see, arrived almost two weeks ago and to much less fanfare than a movie of its ilk or his clout normally commands.

My motive was to offer further insight into the film by drawing (incredibly sparse) comparisons to the 2006 novel

by Max Brooks on which it's based.

It just took me a few days longer to finish than I'd thought.

In a stunning opening sequence,

set in downtown Philadelphia, former UN investigator Gerry Lane (Pitt) and his family find themselves in an explosion of violence when a series of unknown forces turn normal citizens into racing, menacing monsters. Zombies have come far from their Caribbean undead origins and the 1970s creations of filmmaker George Romero. The "virus" that is spreading across the world is consuming the healthy population at an alarming rate, Gerry finds out, after a daring rooftop escape that sees our hero ready to jump to his own death after a particularly close scrape may have infected him.

Gerry is a man with a particular set of skills that dwindling governments sorely need. He's given preferential treatment that allows his wife (Mireille Enos) and children (Abigail

Hargrove, Sterling Jerins, Fabrizio Zacharee Guido) to stay aboard one of the floating cities that the U.S. Navy has become. In exchange, a bureaucrat (Fana Mokoena) asks Lane to begin a globe-trotting mission to hunt down the source of the outbreak and - hopefully - find a cure before humanity is wiped out.

Here is where the international flavor of this film finds itself. By flying to Korea, then Israel, and ultimately to Wales, Gerry finds many theories as to where or how the disease began.

He learns many ways to kill the germ, mostly involving gruesome zombie headshots, but very little about how to prevent its spread.

The small team of commandoes and scientists (including James Badge Dale and David Morse in extended cameos) dispatched to work with

Gerry leave a lot to be desired in terms of loyalty and character development, if not self-sacrifice. His Mossad liaison, played by Daniella Kertesz, is a significant exception.

This incarnation of World War Z finds its conclusion in the vaults of an infested WHO clinic in Cardiff that feels a little too similar to Aliens.

So how does Pitt's labor of love differ from its source material?

In every way save the title. I had the distinct pleasure of coming to this story via the CD audiobook that my brother gave me for my birthday last month. In the style of collected interviews, World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War is Max Brooks' follow-up to his 2003 novel, The Zombie Survival Guide. The narration is provided by a full cast as Brooks (son of the

July 11, 2013

legendary comedian, Mel) serves as the interviewer striving to collect the most accurate firsthand account of the war from those that survived it. Alan Alda, Mark Hamill, Rob Reiner, Nathan Fillion, and Martin Scorsese are among the dozens of well known actors that all provide small parts. As entertaining and enjoyable as I found it, I struggle to see how this movie was adapted from this book. It's more than a stretch of the imagination, but so is most of the good stuff that comes out of Hollywood.

"World War Z"runs 133 minutes and is rated PG-13 for intense frightening zombie sequences, violence, and disturbing images. I give this film two and a half stars out of four. The book on which it's based is a four-star novel.

Music

Country star to appear at The Pageant

By KRISTA WILKINSON-MIDGLEY Of The Edge With his signature pale cowboy hat pulled low, skin-tight blue jeans and hip swivels that could rival Elvis, Dwight Yoakam has never quite fit into the mainstream country mould. His blend of honky tonk, rockabilly and even punk rock music come together to form an individual style that is unmatched in the music industry. While he is generally considered to be a country music artist, Yoakam’s talents go well beyond the constraints of a single genre.

Born in Kentucky and raised in Ohio, Yoakam’s music career took a meandering path to stardom. His big break came in 1986

with the release of his debut album, “Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc.” The album, laced with elements of traditional country and modern pop/rock overlaid with Yoakam’s distinct twang, was a hit with both critics and fans.

Three of the album’s 10 tracks made the Top 40 of the Hot Country Singles chart in 1986, and the album became Yoakam’s first of three consecutive No.1 Billboard Country Albums.

His hit single, “Honky Tonk Man,” which was a cover of a 1956 Johnny Horton song, peaked at No. 3 on the country charts. Yoakam made history with the song when it became the first ever country music video to be played on MTV. Throughout the 1980s, Yoakam’s star continued to rise with his unique combination

For The Edge

Dwight Yoakam of traditional country and mainstream rock.

An article in “Vanity Fair” declared of him, “Yoakam strides the divide between rock’s lust and country’s lament.”

Yoakam’s impressive career boasts 12 gold albums and nine platinum or multiplatinum albums, including the tripleplatinum “This Time.” Five of those albums have topped Billboard’s Country Albums chart with another 14 landing in the Top 10. More than 30 singles have charted, with 22 going Top 20, including the incomparable hits “Honky Tonk Man,” “Please Please Baby,” “Little Ways,” “I Sang Dixie,” “It Only Hurts When I Cry,” “Fast as You” and “Thousand Miles from Nowhere.” He has also won two Grammys and earned 21 nominations.

Yoakam has proved himself to be a true renaissance man gaining success onscreen as well as onstage. He has appeared in the films “Red Rock West” in 1992, the Academy Award-winning film “Sling Blade” starring Billy Bob Thornton, “Panic Room,” “The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada,” “Four Christmases,” “Crank” and “Crank 2: High Voltage,” and the hit comedy “Wedding Crashers.”

Yoakam released his latest studio album, “3 Pears,” in October, 2012 with Warner Bros. This album “balances his country core with a fiercely independent embrace of rock,

Americana, pop and soul,” according to information on Yoakam’s website at www. dwightyoakam.com. Yoakam collaborated with a number of diverse artists for “3 Pears,” including singer/songwriter Beck and Kid Rock.

Yoakam produced “3 Pears” and on it he has been described as portraying a “growing positivity.”

“The music just kind of dropped in, in that way,” stated Yoakam on his website.

“Music is a bit of a mystery. Like all emotions are. And I think maybe it was something I needed to express and to share with the world at large, something positive when all of us are kind of carrying around this collective, emotional weight.”

Experience the music of this mercurial musician for yourself when Dwight Yoakam with special guest Sturgill Simpson performs on Aug. 18 at the Pageant in St. Louis. Doors open at 7 p.m., show starts at 8 p.m.

General admission tickets are $35 in advance and $37.50 on the day of the show.

Reserved balcony tickets for guests 21 and older are $45.

Tickets are available from all Ticketmaster locations, by phone at (800) 745-3000 or online at www.ticketmaster.com.
