Cyclist takes the Route 66 challenge Rider hopes to raise awareness of children's obesity and bullying

By CODY KING Of The Edge Danielle Girdano is cycling to make a difference as she aims to break the cross country cycling world record by riding through over 200 cities in 43 days.

The current record in place is 44 days.

Launching from the Chicago area on Sept. 18, Girdano is traveling along Route 66 to her final destination in Los Angeles, Calif.

Girdano pedaled her way through Edwardsville from Hamel on Route 157, and then took 157 all the way through Edwardsville to Chain of Rocks road. With Edwardsville p o l i c e a n d f i re d e p a r t m e n t s e s c o r t i n g h e r t h ro u g h t o w n , Girdano said this was the best part of her journey so far.

“It was awesome. That was the absolute best escort we’ve had of any city, including Chicago. It was a cute little town; at least the fire, the police, public safety, between the trucks and the cars and the bicycles, everybody was just on point. It was really cool to see people out on the street too, and that was really awesome,” Girdano said.

With this ride, Girdano hopes to raise awareness and funds for childhood obesity and bullying.

Although she has undergone significant training and has already made some progress, Girdano said you can only prepare so much for a journey like this.

“The wind is something that is very hard to train for, and especially coming out of Pontiac Illinois, the wind was extremely severe. The wind has just been relentless and that’s something I trained for as best as I could in Texas, but nothing can prepare you for this. Then the semi trucks’ wind wake, that is something that’s been a large eyeopener and when you look at how many people who have tried this route – when you look at all of the

Danielle Girdano pedals her way through Hamel leading into Edwardsville, closer to breaking a world record. Starting her cycling journey from Chicago and working her way down Route 66 to Los Angeles, Girdano hopes to raise awareness for child obesity and bullying. fatalities – you can understand.

You almost feel like a rag doll on a bike, being blown side-to-side.

That’s really been the shocker to me.

Nothing really prepares you until you’re actually out there,” she said.

After having personally battled with childhood obesity and bullying, Girdano said this ride is important not only to her, but can also provide a sense of inspiration for her followers.

“It’s pretty simple. Kids across this country are being hurt by childhood obesity and bullying and they don’t have to. I was morbidly obese; at my heaviest, I was almost 400 pounds. Got it off through diet and exercise and I was basically told by a doctor that I wasn’t going to live past 35, and here I am now,

one world record underneath me, beating the fastest man by three days. To come from fat, sick and early dead, to a world-class athlete, that’s something that I feel is — you’re a living example, and I want to show people that it’s possible,” she said.

Girdano said prior to doing this ride, she had been training for two years before hitting the road this past week.

“There was resistance training and cardio training, obviously.

Also, a lot of training in what we call ‘heat box,’ which is basically a bike in a room that’s very small and very warm. We tried to do elevation training with an elevation mask and it restricts your air flow like being in the mountains. It’s just a lot of

bike riding. In total, the amount of miles training on the bike are an extra 17,000. It’s been a lot of training; this has been two years in the making,” she said. “There’s so much coordination that goes into something like this and it’s more than I think what most people may realize, which is so nice when you come through a town like Edwardsville. Everything is so nice and smooth, through the lights and through the intersections, and it’s just a tremendous help.”

Funding will come from the Highway for Health Foundation, who is sponsoring the ride. The Highway for Health Board of Directors, which is led by Girdano, has raised $200,000 so far. These proceeds will go to support the Fitnessgram program through the Cooper Institute, community gardens in Los Angeles and north Texas, and kids’ fitness camps.

Girdano said the main goal is advocating for a change in fitness and nutrition and providing forms of education.

“The whole goal is truly teaching them behavioral change when it comes to fitness, when it comes to nutrition, and being able to change the perception of what lifestyle is and to get rid of the word diet. Again, knowledge is power. That’s the whole thing – you’re making positive change, it’s going to send ripples out beyond any expectation you may have is.

That’s what it’s about; it’s about making the world a better place.

I’m doing it through health, and I believe we are saving lives, and I think we’re changing families,” Girdano said.

First Responders for Fitness is also participating, as they are gathering police and fire departments across the U.S. to provide traffic support or any other assistance for Girdano. As she gets closer to her destination and her goal, Girdano said it’s important to stress the dangers of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and wants people to be mindful of what

October 13, 2016

they are consuming, which could lead to the problem of obesity.

“GMOs, I think that’s a huge topic and if we can inform people and give them education about genetically modified foods. I think limiting sugar, understanding that if you can’t pronounce it on the side of the box, your body isn’t either.

Move more, eat consciously, and that’s what it comes down to. It’s not how many calories necessarily; it’s the type of calorie that you’re consuming, and it’s about letting the body be in movement,” she said.

Going forward, Girdano said she encourages youths to speak up and learn how to be active and eat right, even if it means asking your guardians for help.

“You know I was that kid and I remember very frankly every summer from school, I would always have this game plan of ‘I’m going to lose all this weight before I go back to school in the fall and this is how it’s going to be’ and I always never made it. Understand that the family I grew up in was Italian; huge portions — the more you eat, the better it is. For me it was a bit of a cultural issue, and I never could. I think that if kids truly want to be healthy, go to your parent, go to your aunt, go to your uncle, go to somebody and say, ‘Hey, this I something I want to do. Help me,’” Girdano said. “I think if a child needs to take action, I believe the responsibility really does lie with the parents. Let them see you are healthy. The example you are is the example they will become with their children.”

When she’s not cycling across the country, Girdano is also a professional public speaker who has her own company called D’Fine Sculpting and Nutrition LLC. She also works with clients in the Dallas, Texas, area as well.

Monkees to mark 50th anniversary with concert

When four young men were cast in the television roles of a struggling rock band inspired by The Beatles’ A Hard Day’s Night, few could have predicted the impact The Monkees would make on music and pop culture at large, an impact that still reverberates 50 years later.

Assembled in Los Angeles in 1965 by Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider for the television series The Monkees, the quartet of Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith, Peter Tork, and the late Davy Jones brought a singular mix of pop, rock, psychedelica, Broadway, and country to their music.

The Monkees’ first single, “Last Train to Clarksville,” was released in August 1966, hitting #1 and serving as advance publicity for their series, which debuted on September 12.

When the group’s self-titled debut album arrived in stores a month later, it quickly headed for the top spot of the Billboard charts, where it would ultimately sit for 13 of the 78 weeks it remained in the Top 200.

By the time the group’s TV series aired its final new episode on March 25, 1968, the Monkees had seen three further albums top the charts – More of the Monkees, Headquarters, and Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, Ltd., all of which were released in 1967, staggeringly enough – while racking up several more hit singles, with “I’m a Believer,” “(I’m Not Your) Steppin’ Stone,” “A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You,” “The Girl I Knew Somewhere,” “Pleasant Valley Sunday,” “Words,” “Daydream Believer,” “Valleri,” and “Tapioca Tundra” all finding their way into the Billboard Top 40.

Hilton upgrades St. Louis Union Station Hotel For The Edge Recently, Hilton announced that one of the most treasured landmarks in the Gateway City is the latest addition to Curio - A Collection by Hilton, a global set of distinctive upscale and luxury hotels handpicked for travelers seeking local discovery and authentic experiences.

Following a $40 million transformation, St. Louis Union Station Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton offers business and leisure guests 539 luxurious rooms and suites in what was once the largest and most ornate railway terminal in the United States with some guest room floors designed and furnished with a railroad theme. Built in 1894 and converted to a hotel in 1985, the National Historic Landmark in downtown St. Louis is well-known for its iconic jewel - the massive Grand Hall, a lobby lounge area with 65-foot-high ornate vaulted ceilings on which a dazzling 3D light show is projected nightly.

"Across the Curio collection, we take pride in offering guests unique hotel experiences that exude local flavor so, we welcome the landmark St. Louis Union Station Hotel to Curio," said Mark Nogal, global head, Curio - A Collection by Hilton.

"With its luminescent Grand Hall and eclectic amenities, this iconic property allows guests to discover all St. Louis has to offer and enriches our growing global brand."

Coinciding with the hotel's opening is a St. Louis concert at the Peabody Opera House by Grammynominated recording artist Gavin DeGraw, who has penned a Local Guide about hot spots in St. Louis - including St. Louis Union Station - as part of the #CitiesbyCurio program.

The Hotel's "Grand" Centerpiece Built in 1894 of Indiana limestone and reminiscent of a French Castle, St. Louis Union Station retains many charming architectural features from its past, such as original mosaic tile work, the mysterious Romanesque "whispering arch" and the signature 280-foot clock tower. Its centerpiece is the historic Grand Hall, where guests can enjoy local craft beers and seasonally inspired small plate

offerings beneath gold-leaf ceilings surrounded by Romanesque arches and stained glass windows.

Projected on the Grand Hall's 65-foot-tall ceilings and across the entire space, the nightly 3D light show is comprised of 30 vignettes, all stretching the barrier of creative design, innovation and storytelling.

The first of its kind high-definition projection mapping experience in the United States, the awardwinning extravaganza captivates guests of all ages via vignettes told though sound, music and cutting edge 3D animation.

Distinguished Dining, Elaborate Events Culinary options abound at the AAA Four Diamond St. Louis Union Station Hotel: Station Grille - on the site of the station's original restaurant o p e r a t e d b y F re d H a r v e y, a legendary 18th century railroad

dining magnate - continues a decades-long tradition of fine dining.

Grand Hall offers a relaxing respite, with local micro-brews, craft ales and signature cocktails named for legendary railroad companies complementing the nightly light show which includes favorites such as the "Union Pacific" and "California Zephyr."

The Market houses a 1920's-themed Starbucks designed with an ornate drinking fountain and fireplace dating to the building's origins.

St. Louis Union Station can host conferences, conventions, exhibits, social galas and events of any size, thanks to 100,000 square feet of meeting space that includes the vast and historic Midway Hall and the glorious Regency Ballroom.

Amenities That Relax and Enthrall

G u e s t s s e e k i n g e x e rc i s e o r relaxation while staying at St. Louis Union Station may: Enjoy the seasonal outdoor swimming pool and surrounding courtyard.

Visit HolidaysAtUnionStation.com for schedules and ticket ordering information.

In 2018, the property will also house the 75,000-square-foot St. Louis Aquarium, now under construction and set to feature thousands of exotic aquatic species.

The aquarium will also host one of the largest shark collections in the Midwest and feature Shark Bridge which will suspend visitors just inches above the water.

"St. Louis Union Station perfectly blends sophisticated historical features with modern conveniences and family-friendly activities, for a hotel experience unlike any other," said Steve O'Loughlin, President and COO, Lodging Hospitality Management, owner of the property.

"We are delighted to join the Curio collection of hand-picked upscale and luxury hotels that blend authenticity with Hilton's global reputation and award-winning services."

Museum celebrates Route 66 in St. Louis

On Nov. 11, 2016, Route 66 celebrates its 90th anniversary. To mark this milestone, the Missouri History Museum developed Route 66: Main Street Through St. Louis, a 6,000-square-foot exhibition that

explores the local history of the world-famous highway. Route 66: Main Street through St. Louis is open from June 25 through July 16, 2017.

Route 66 touched eight states and connected more than 100 cities from Chicago to Los Angeles. St. Louis was the largest city in between. As the road meandered through the city, it passed by a number of stops that were unique to St. Louis – from popular restaurants to scandalous motes. Route 66: Main Street through St. Louis tells St. Louis' distinctive story on the Mother Road.

Visitors will get their kicks learning about the motels, custard stands and tourist traps that could be found along the road as it passed through St. Louis. Route 66 through St. Louis wound its way from the bridges through downtown streets and depending on the year,

They will also rediscover places that are gone with the passage of time such as the Coral Court Motel, the Parkmoor, the Chain of Rocks Amusement Park and the 66 Park-In Theatre. Artifacts include neon signs like the original sign from the La Casa Grande Motel on Watson, and classic cars including a 1963 Corvette Stingray convertible and a 1957 Airstream Travel Trailer.

66 bore the hardships of the Great Depression, taking migrants west to find a new life. It carried military transports through World War II. At its height in the 1950s and '60s, tourists traveled its length to see the sights of the Southwest and California. Route 66 bore witness to the rise of the car culture. It helped create a fascination with drive-in theaters and drive-in restaurants, with motels and cabin courts, with tourist shops and tourist traps.

By the 1970s, the interstate system offered a more efficient way to get around the country and rendered Route 66 obsolete. The Mother Road was officially decommissioned in 1985, with many of the states removing the shields before that.

Although Route 66 is long gone, relics of it still remain across St. Louis

Religion Mormon leaders discuss concerns in leaked video SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — In leaked videos, Mormon leaders discuss concerns about the growth of the gay rights movement and hear from a former U.S. senator and church member who tells them the Iraq war could open the door for new converts, according to footage that pulls back the curtain on a religion that is closely guarded about its inner workings.

The 15 videos were posted online Sunday during the final day of the religion's twice-yearly conference.

They show top leaders hearing presentations and discussing topics at meetings from 2007 to 2012.

The Salt Lake City-based Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints says the videos show briefings that senior church leaders receive from religious, political and other experts on a number of topics.

"The purpose is to understand issues that may face the church, and is in pursuit of the obligation church leaders feel to be informed on and have open discussion about current issues," spokesman Eric Hawkins said in a statement.

Church officials didn't provide further details, but the videos don't appear to be secretly recorded.

They were most likely videotaped so leaders not in attendance could watch, said Matthew Bowman, a Mormon scholar.

Though the videos don't reveal information that is necessarily surprising or damning, they have generated widespread interest because people are curious about how the religion's top leaders — considered apostles — make

decisions, Bowman said.

"It doesn't matter necessarily what the content is, it's looking behind the veil that gets people excited," said Bowman, associate professor of history at Henderson State University.

The leaked videos come nearly a year after an internal memo about banning baptisms for children of parents in same-sex marriages was released by a Mormon who had been

he Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago is commemorating 100 years of flight and space exploration with a new exhibit that launches guests into the future of aerospace technology and air travel.

Above and Beyond, a new interactive experience exploring innovations in aerospace, will debut Tuesday, October 4, 2016 at MSI. The exhibit is presented by Boeing in celebration of its 100th anniversary in 2016.

The 5,000-square-foot space will offer an unprecedented interactive demonstration of advances in aviation and aerospace, from the first powered flights to the newest innovations on Earth and in space. As guests enter Above and Beyond, they will be welcomed with an immersive, wraparound theater that highlights the epic quest to challenge the limits of flight.

“MSI is honored and excited to host Above and Beyond in Chicago to celebrate 100 years of aerospace history and success,” said Anne Rashford, director of special exhibitions.

“Guests will enjoy the many opportunities in this exhibit to learn about the past, present and future of flight and space exploration.”

Guests will have opportunities to explore hands-on, interactive areas that teach them more about flight. They can step into a simulated space elevator that takes them to the edge of the space, design and test a supersonic fighter jet to face off in a virtual high-speed flying competition, and experience a flying simulation with motion-sensing technology to get a sense of what it’s like to fly like a bird, while exploring the forces of flight.

“Sparking an interest in the wonder of aerospace at an early age is a priority for Boeing, and the Above and Beyond exhibition provides future engineers, pilots or astronauts with an interactive glimpse into how they can achieve their dreams and inspires them to pursue careers in science and technology,” said Greg Hyslop, Boeing chief technology officer.

The exhibit opened October 4, 2016 and

14

will run through January 8, 2017. It will be included with Museum Entry ($18 for adults and $11 for kids ages 3-11), but will require a free, timed-entry ticket available at the exhibit entrance.

Above and Beyond is produced by Evergreen Exhibitions in association with Boeing, in collaboration with NASA and the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum, and in educational collaboration with The Museum of Flight.

Music Tuning in Wash U. to host Great Artists Series

Yefim Bronfman is “a fearless pianist for whom no score is too demanding” (Wall Street Journal).

Nathan Gunn is a baritone “with unmistakable star power” (Opera News). Pianist Jonathan Biss “radiates a confidence solidly based on prodigious technique” (Washington Post).

Next year, Washington University in St. Louis will welcome three of the brightest stars in the classical firmament to the 560 Music Center as part of its new Great Artist Series.

Presented by the Department of Music in Arts & Sciences, the Great Artist Series aims to fill a gap in St. Louis’ otherwise exceptional classical programming. “ N o o t h e r v e n u e o r g ro u p regularly hosts high profile solo recitals,” said Todd Decker, chair of music. “An entire repertory of

classical music is simply missing from the live music scene. We want our students, especially those studying piano, to have access to recitals at the same high level they do for symphonic, chamber and choral music.

“The Great Artist Series will offer something unique to the university and to the larger community,” Decker added.

“Our goal is for live classical music to be an integral — indeed essential — part of student life, as well as a lifelong habit that continues beyond the college years.”

Schedule The Washington University Great Artist Series will begin Feb. 9, 2017, with Jonathan Biss performing music of Robert Schumann, György Kurtág, Frédéric Chopin and Johannes Brahms.

The series will continue April 23 with Yefim Bronfman performing music of Béla Bartók, Schumann,

Claude Debussy and Igor Stravinsky.

Nathan Gunn will conclude the series May 5 with music of Schumann, Samuel Barber, Franz Schubert, Hugo Wolf and Charles Ives.

Jonathan Biss Known for virtuosic energy and control, Biss has drawn worldwide praise for the “balance between clarity and wildness” (Kansas City Star) that he brings to both classic and contemporary works. His numerous albums include several recordings of Schumann as well as two short Kurtág pieces, included on “Piano Sonatas” (2009), which NPR Music named one of its best albums of the year.

A prolific writer, Biss is author of the best-selling ebook “Beethoven’s Shadow” (2011) and “A Pianist Under the Influence” (2012), a tribute to Schumann. His online course “Exploring Beethoven’s

exceptional lyrical gifts. He has appeared with leading orchestras and given solo recitals in major halls around the world, including his acclaimed debuts at Carnegie Hall in 1989 and Avery Fisher Hall in 1993.

Music Tuning in Rain, a tribute to the Beatles, coming to the Fox

Opening on Sunday, March 5, 2017 for a limited engagement at The Fabulous Fox Theatre will be Rain, a tribute to the Beattles.

Tickets are $100, $65, $55, $45, $35 and are available online at metrotix.com, by calling 314-534-1111, or in person at the Fabulous Fox Box Office.

Experience an all new show when the internationallyacclaimed Beatles concert, Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles, returns to the Fabulous Fox Theatre Sunday, March 5 at 7:00 p.m.

As “the next best thing to seeing The Beatles!”

(Associated Press), Rain performs the full range of The Beatles' discography live onstage, including the most complex and challenging songs that The Beatles themselves recorded in the studio but never performed for an audience. In addition to the updated sets that include brand new LED, High-Definition screens and multimedia content, new songs have also been included with the launch of the 2017 Tour.

Together longer than The Beatles, Rain has mastered every song, gesture and nuance of the legendary foursome, delivering a totally live, note-for-note performance that’s as infectious as it is transporting. From the early hits to later classics (“I Want To Hold Your Hand,” “Hard Day’s Night,” “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” “Let It Be,” “Come Together,” “Hey Jude” and more), this adoring tribute will take you back to a time when all you needed was love, and a little help from your friend.

Like The Beatles, the onstage members of Rain are not only supreme musicians, but electrifying performers in their own right.

Springfield, Loverboy to perform in St. Charles

Over the past three decades, Rick Springfield has worn many hats as an entertainer and performer. The creator of some of the finest power-pop of the ’80s, he’s a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and musician who

has sold 25 million albums and scored 17 U.S. Top 40 hits, including “Jessie’s Girl,” “Don’t Talk to Strangers,” “An Affair of the Heart,” “I've Done Everything for You,” “Love Somebody,” and “Human Touch.” He’s an accomplished actor who most recently starred opposite Meryl Streep in the feature film Ricki and the Flash and gave a chameleonic performance as the creepy Dr. Irving Pitlor in HBO’s prestige drama True Detective. He’s also a talented author — both his candid 2010 memoir Late, Late at Night (which Rolling Stone named one of the 25 greatest rock memoirs of all time) and his 2014 comedic novel Magnificent Vibration earned rave reviews and spots on the New York Times Best Sellers’ list.

Rick’s latest studio album which is out now, Rocket Science features expertly crafted pop-rock songs that are open and electric.

Loverboy With their trademark red leather pants, bandannas, big rock sound and high-energy live shows, LOVERBOY has sold more than 10 million albums, earning four multi-platinum plaques, including the four-million-selling Get Lucky, and a trio of double-platinum releases in their self-titled 1980 debut, 1983’s Keep It Up and 1985’s Lovin’ Every Minute of It. Their string of hits includes, in addition to the anthem “Working for the Weekend,” such arena rock staples as “Lovin’ Every Minute of It,” “This Could Be the Night,” “Hot Girls in Love,” “The Kid is Hot Tonite,” “Turn Me Loose,” “When It’s Over,” “Heaven In Your Eyes” and “Queen of the Broken Hearts.”

Tommy Tutone In 1982, Tommy Tutone exploded onto the music scene with what is one of the best known songs in history. The song that sparked millions of prank calls is none other than ‘Jenny/8675309’. Coming on the scene at the same time as MTV certainly didn’t hurt at all either, thus cementing him a place in the culture of the 80’s.

The concert is Saturday, October 15, at The Family Arena in St. Charles.

Tickets can be purchased at the Family Arena Ticket Office or online at www.metrotix.com. Prices: $90 (Gold Circle), $80 (Floor), $65 (Lower Level Sidelines), $60 (Lower Level Endzone), $45 (Upper Level) To charge by phone call MetroTix at 314-534-1111. For help purchasing accessible seating, please call The Family Arena ADA Hotline at 636-896-4234.

The “I’ll Have Another…World Tour” follows Straight No Chaser ’s most recent release, 2015’s “TThe New Old Fashioned” The album sees the renowned group bringing their unique touch and inimitable vocal style to a stunning range of contemporary standards spanning The Weeknd’s “Can’t Feel My Face” and Hozier’s “Take Me To Church” to Radiohead’s “Creep” and Bob Dylan’s tender “Make You Feel My Love.”

“The New Old Fashioned” further features a number of Straight No Chaser ’s incomparable medleys, including “Beggin’/Counting Stars” (blending favorites from Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons and One Republic) and “On The Road Again/I Play The Road” (originally by Willie Nelson and Zac Brown Band, respectively).

"The Blair Witch Project"

People will have different reactions to the new "The Blair Witch Project" sequel, but one thing we all probably can agree on is this: We need to hurry up and clear-cut that haunted forest in Maryland, once and for all.

Even environmentalists would agree — what about a nice big parking lot? — after sitting through the harrowing "Blair Witch," which takes place in the same creepy woods where three student filmmakers disappeared in the original.

Why either a new batch of kids or a new clutch of filmmakers have suited up to tramp around the Black Hills in search of the same angry witch is puzzling. There's an old saying that you can never go home again. It is advice neither team took — and so they're doomed.

"Blair Witch " borrows most of the skeleton of the original 1999 film but ups the scariness at the cost of coherency.

Director Adam Wingard also strays from the found-footage conceit and sometimes doesn't even pretend that what we're seeing was shot by anyone in the group. That suspension of disbelief is important or why try a direct sequel at all? (By the way, we're totally ignoring the quickie 2000 sequel "Book Of Shadows: Blair Witch 2.")

First a primer, in case you just wandered out of a haunted forest: "The Blair Witch Project" was a cultural sensation. Shot for an initial budget of less than $50,000, it grossed just shy of $248 million, sparking trends in both found-footage horror and shaky-camera confessionals.

Its faux-documentary premise was that it was just stitchedtogether footage taken by three student filmmakers who went missing while witch hunting.

"Snowden"

Edward Snowden, who cast himself as the hero of his own spy movie, gets the real thing in Oliver Stone's Hollywoodized biopic of the National Security Agency whistleblower.

Who but an avid John le Carre reader would bring a Rubik's Cube to the lobby of a Hong Kong hotel as a signal for his clandestine meeting with journalists Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras? With preternatural self-awareness, Snowden knowingly stepped into a new life: a digital-era Deepthroat, a technocrat ready to don a trenchcoat.

As a protagonist, Snowden (as played by Joseph GordonLevitt) doesn't have the brawn of Bourne or the style of Bond.

But he carries with him a moral certainty that, it turns out, can do much more. Stone's "Snowden" seeks to frame its well-known subject as a patriot, charting his journey from unquestioning son of a proud military family to brave practitioner of civil disobedience for a greater American good.

It's the kind of combination — Stone and Snowden — that one might go into with apprehension: Just what paranoid conspiracy theories is he going to throw at me THIS time?

There's something too on the nose about the pairing.

But the surprise of "Snowden" is that Stone, master of leftwing political thrillers, plays it fairly straight. "Snowden" isn't a liberal screed, or at least not an overt one. It's a sincere, straightforward biopic that, at its worst, verges on hagiography.

That "Snowden" is conventional needn't be such a bad thing. "Snowden," carried by Gordon-Levitt, captures the rise of surveillance by viewing it through Snowden's initially innocent eyes.

"Queen of Katwe"

The colors and rhythms of life in the slums of Uganda are what set "Queen of Katwe" apart from other underdog chess movies.

While Hollywood has long celebrated chess as a great equalizer across race and class — an ideal element for an underdog tale — it rarely turns its lens on modern African culture in such a realistic and respectful way. "Queen of Katwe" is as much a portrait of marginalized life in Uganda as it is of an unlikely champion. In telling the true story of chess prodigy Phiona Mutesi, director Mira Nair captures the vibrancy of a small village, the toughened dignity of its people, and a state of poverty so oppressive you can feel the desperation in the dusty air.

With vivid camerawork by Sean Bobbitt ("12 Years a Slave") and a cast comprised largely of African unknowns, Nair ("Monsoon Wedding") drops the viewer into the swirl of color and humanity that is Katwe, a ramshackle community bordered by a trash dump and a lumber yard near Kampala, Uganda, where the filmmaker has lived for almost 30 years. Dirt streets bustle with rickety buses, motorbikes and street vendors. Local musicians make up the soundtrack.

It's a kinetic setting for a true story so inspiring, it sounds like a made-for-Disney movie: A young, illiterate girl from the streets discovers a natural gift for chess, and with the help of a caring coach, she develops the skills and self-confidence to become a champion. The real Phiona Mutesi is a national hero and educational leader in Uganda who's on her way to becoming a chess grand master.

RATED: PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for "thematic elements, an accident scene and some suggestive material."

RUNNING TIME: 124 minutes.

"The Magnificent Seven"

Deciding to remake "The Magnificent Seven " with a fresh batch of movie stars is certainly no sin. John Sturges' 1960 tome, itself a remake of Akira Kurosawa's classic "Seven Samurai," is a fun confection of star power and charismatic bravado, sure, but held in such high esteem probably more because of Elmer Bernstein's iconic score than anything else. Plus, who doesn't enjoy a ragtag group of outlaws banding together to defeat a powerful bully?

But director Antoine Fuqua doesn't exactly elevate that now well-trod premise in this dutiful and solid rehashing of the seven gunmen who attempt to save a terrorized town, even if he does up the shoot-em-up action (and body count). Bernstein's score is given a few nods throughout the film, but saved in full for the final credits. Thus, it's left to the actors to carry us through the over two-hour running time.

You could do worse than putting it all in the capable hands of Denzel Washington, with some help from Chris Pratt.

Washington, as the steely-eyed bounty hunter Sam Chisolm, is the de facto leader, the Yul Brynner of the group. His out-of-use heart starts beating again when the recently widowed Emma Cullen (Haley Bennett) begs him to return to her small farming town of Rose Creek to save them from the terror of greedy industrialist Bartholomew Bogue, played with delicious, over-thetop menace by Peter Sarsgaard.

Bogue is running a mining operation nearby and wants their land, too. He'll either pay the residents of Rose Creek an unfairly low price for it or force them to leave (already a less compelling idea than taking the food they've grown, but this "farming town" does very little farming anyway). Fuqua takes no time easing into the story, starting out with an all-out massacre in the town.

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "extended and intense sequences of Western violence, and for historical smoking, some language and suggestive material."

"Denial"

Mick Jackson's "Denial" brings all the decorous polish of a British courtroom drama to the pungent libel case of a Holocaust denier.

Based on Deborah Lipstadt's book "History on Trial: My Day in Court With a Holocaust Denier," the film depicts when the unapologetically anti-Semitic historian David Irving brought a libel suit against Lipstadt for calling him a Holocaust denier in one of her books.

Because of the nature of libel cases in the United Kingdom (where Irving filed the suit), the burden of proof is on the defender, not the plaintiff. Hovering constantly throughout the trial — which ran eight weeks — is the question: Is it worthwhile to expend so much energy on such a loathsome liar?

It's a salient question with obvious relevance to a time where willful disregard for the truth increasingly runs rampant in national politics and social media streams, alike. Should trolls be taken to task or ignored?

"Denial" argues forcefully and convincingly for the vital necessity of confronting the perpetuation of dangerous falsehoods. It rises impressively to the wise and perhaps unpopular judgment that "not all opinions are equal." This is an honorable cause if not a particularly dramatic movie.

Just as the legal team behind Lipstadt's case brought a full array of firepower to the proceedings, so has Jackson in his film. The cast is littered with an impervious collection of British talent, in front of and behind the camera.

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "mild action and some thematic elements."

RUNNING TIME: 110 minutes.

"Deepwater Horizon"

We all know how "Deepwater Horizon " ends. When the BP oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, 11 people died and millions of gallons of oil spewed into the waters and up against the Gulf shores in the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history.

The story of the aftermath, even 6 years later, is still being written. The how-did-it-happen is another thing, and the point of director Peter Berg's intensely thrilling indictment of the greed and gross negligence that contributed to the horrific outcome.

Like the best true stories translated to film, this well-known ending works for Berg, not against him. He and writers Matthew Sand and Matthew Michael Carnahan know, as Ron Howard did with "Apollo 13" and James Cameron knew with "Titanic," that it's not about whether they live or they die or if the ship goes down or all are saved. It's about the process and those decisions, big or small, corrupt or well-intentioned, that made this disaster inevitable.

Based on a New York Times article, "Deepwater Horizon's Final Hours," the film is about the crew — the men and women aboard just doing their jobs. Mark Wahlberg anchors as Mike Williams, a no-nonsense engineer, who leaves his wife (Kate Hudson) and precocious daughter at home for his dangerous job on the rig. An early scene with a school science project spells out exactly what he and his co-workers do and foreshadows what will go wrong. It's the kind of set up that on paper likely seems too cutesy, but here, it not only works, it actually builds tension rather effectively.

"Deepwater Horizon" rises above expectations of what a movie like this is capable of at every turn — restrained where you think it might go too big or sentimental, and genuinely affecting when you think you're gearing up for an eye-roll.

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "for prolonged intense disaster sequences and related disturbing images, and brief strong language."

"Denial" forceful, convincing

By JAKE COYLE Associated Press Mick Jackson's "Denial" brings all the decorous polish of a British courtroom drama to the pungent libel case of a Holocaust denier.

Based on Deborah Lipstadt's book "History on Trial: My Day in Court With "Ma Holocaust Denier," the film depicts when the unapologetically anti-Semitic historian David Irving brought a libel suit against Lipstadt for calling him a Holocaust denier in one of her books.

Because of the nature of libel cases in the United Kingdom (where Irving filed the suit), the burden of proof is on the defender, not the plaintiff. Hovering constantly throughout the trial — which ran eight weeks — is the

question: Is it worthwhile to expend so much energy on such a loathsome liar?

It's a salient question with obvious relevance to a time where willful disregard for the truth increasingly runs rampant in national politics and social media streams, alike. Should trolls be taken to task or ignored?

"Denial" argues forcefully and convincingly for the vital necessity of confronting the perpetuation of dangerous falsehoods. It rises impressively to the wise and perhaps unpopular judgment that "not all opinions are equal." This is an honorable cause if not a particularly dramatic movie.

Just as the legal team behind Lipstadt's case brought a full array of firepower to the proceedings, so has Jackson in his film. The

cast is littered with an impervious collection of British talent, in front of and behind the camera.

Rachel Weisz stars as the Queens-born Lipstadt. Her star-studded attorneys are barrister Richard Rampton (played by Tom Wilkinson) and solicitor Anthony Julius (Andrew Scott), famed for securing Princess Diana's divorce. Irving is played with snarling perfection by Timothy Spall. And the script is by playwright David Hare ("The Reader," ''The Hours").

Irving sets things in motion when he turns up a speaking engagement of Lipstadt's to heckle her from the audience. When he brings the lawsuit against her publisher, Penguin Books, the assembled legal team begins hashing out a strategy of how to argue history in a courtroom, how to prove the Holocaust.

What's partly on trial, though, is the notoriously byzantine British court system, itself. "Dickensian not Kafkaesque" is what Lipstadt says she's hoping for in her passage through its elaborate procedures.

Often, Lipstadt's experience is a frustrating one as she — more emotional than her lawyers — clashes with the stringently logical Rampton. They together visit Auschwitz where he reacts bitterly to the lack of an extensive forensics record. Despite Lipstadt's protests, the attorneys want neither her nor Holocaust survivors to take the stand to subject themselves to Irving's questions.

(Irving represented himself in the trial.)

These strategic debates aren't much to hang a movie on, but the case doesn't supply much else in terms of suspense.

"Miss Peregrine's" gets high recommendation

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH For The Edge I was a voracious reader as a youngster. We loved going to the library, my brother and sister and I, and we always came away with more than a week’s worth of books to weigh us down. I read the Hardy Boys and the Boxcar Children when I was in elementary school.

But I was also precocious on the topic and really took to the science fiction works of Michael Crichton when I hit about middle school age. “Jurassic Park” and “Congo” were certainly above my years, but not my head. Mysteries became my interest by the time I was old enough to realize that Sue Grafton and John Grisham were not going anywhere for a good long time.

Young Adult is a major genre now in literature and I miss that it didn’t

have quite the same reputation during my formative years that it does now. The weekend’s biggest surprise hit is the adaptation of quite a peculiar one.

“Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” is a filmed work from the 2011 debut novel by Ransom Riggs. It’s the story of a lonely boy, Jake (Asa Butterfield), who is left to unravel the clues left behind in his grandfather ’s (Terrence Stamp) dying words after horrific accident leave him mauled and slipping away. Jake’s steadfast curiosity – especially in the face of his daft father (Chris O’Dowd, one of my favorites in a subdued role here) – leads him to a creepy Welsh island where lives a troupe of ageless kiddies that could best be described as a Victorian band of X-Men. The people Jake stumbles upon are

called ‘Peculiars’, each with a power or skill that makes them unable adaptable to polite society, and his grandfather was one of them. Miss Peregrine (Eva Green), an ‘ymbryne’, or shapeshifting manipulator of time, putters back and forth between her lively self and the form of a falcon that protects the kids in her charge, or ‘loop’. Each loop, of which there are hundred, is a period of time that the inhabitants can all live in over and over without aging or facing anything beyond what one perfect day had to bear.

Miss Peregrine’s children are all fascinating, but Jake’s is most taken with Emma (Ella Purnell), a blonde cutie about his own age that has lighter than air qualities that make her dreamy and unable to move around but for the heavy lead shoes that keep her rooted

to the earth. Emma is one of the older children and she helps Miss Peregrine care for Claire (Rafiella Chapman) and the Twins, younger charges with wicked appetites and senses of mischief.

Enoch (Finlay MacMillan) and Olive (Lauren McCrostie) can manipulate dead creatures and fire, respectively. They and the other children are all in danger of being lost in time just after 9pm on the 23rd of September in 1943 when Nazis bomb their orphanage.

Thankfully, Miss Peregrine stops it from happening each night before setting the clock back for another 24 hours of peace.

All is not perpetually safe though, without even factoring in the glorious backdrop of WWII. Peculiars and ymbrynes are all being pursued by the monstrous Hollowghasts and their manic

October 13, 2016

leader, Mr. Barron (Samuel L. Jackson). He’s out for blood and eyeballs as a scientist gone awry that once tried to maximize the power of the peculiars and now hunts them down for sport and regret. If anything, this movie is a little scary for small children, but I would highly recommend it if they liked “Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events” or “The Spiderwick Chronicles”…or if you are a parent that would force them to relive your childhood a la “The Neverending Story”. A sequel, especially if left in the hands of creative director Tim Burton, would be a welcome thing in this case.

Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children runs 127 minutes and is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of fantasy action/violence and peril. I give this film three stars out of four.

Laumeier plans fall exhibitions

For The Edge

L

aumeier Sculpture Park presents an indoor multimedia exhibition

by South African artist Mohau Modisakeng in the Whitaker Foundation Gallery at the Adam Aronson Fine Arts Center, and an outdoor exhibition by local sculptors Alison OuelletteKirby and Noah Kirby at the Amphitheater in the Way Field for the 2016 Kranzberg Exhibition Series, November 5, 2016–January 29, 2017.

Soweto-born, Cape Town-based Mohau Modisakeng creates lush, elegant photographs and videos that reimagine the black body in contemporary South African society. Modisakeng is often the actor in his simple performances that express issues of rebirth against the historical trauma of colonization and apartheid. The exhibition is curated by Executive Director Marilu Knode and is supported by Alison and John Ferring, Adrienne D. Davis, Patricia Smith-Thurman and the Des Lee Collaborative Vision at the University of MissouriSt. Louis, with assistance from WHATIFTHEWORLD Gallery, Cape Town.

Mohau Modisakeng’s exhibition is the second project organized in collaboration with Mark Coetzee, Founding Executive Director & Chief Curator, Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Zeitz MOCAA), Cape Town, that explores issues of Truth & Reconciliation from two distinctly different historical perspectives.

The exhibition also supports Laumeier's thematic focus of New Territories: BRICS, 2015–19. New Territories broadens our look at the world’s cultural zones as they have directly and indirectly impacted life in St. Louis. Projects, programs and activities twist the economic acronym BRICS [Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa] beyond the market forces driving the global economy.

For the 2016 Kranzberg Exhibition Series, Laumeier presents Alison Ouellette-Kirby + Noah Kirby: Arena at the outdoor Amphitheater in the Way Field. The massive structural installation consists of five sheet-metal megaphones with an interactive audio element.

Inspired by their previous Tone Deaf series, the artwork incorporates a mechanism that translates and projects visitors’ voices into harmonic gibberish as a response to the flora and fauna in the Park.

The exhibition is curated by Curator of Exhibitions Dana Turkovic and is supported by Nancy and Ken Kranzberg.

In their collaborative practice, the Kirbys create forms through the traditions of casting and fabrication. Their combination of material confidence and technological play often develops into environments and scenarios that are complex, ambiguous and situational. This large-scale commission expands on their shared artistic production by utilizing the public’s language and speech to more directly communicate with the natural environment at Laumeier.

Artistic adventures Rep announces Studio Theatre series

The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis (The Rep) has announced its 20162017 season of performances in the Studio Theatre: Mothers and Sons, October 26-November 13, 2016; Constellations, January 18-February 5, 2017; and The Royale, March 8-26, 2017.

The Studio Theatre series opens on October 26 in the Emerson Studio Theatre at the Loretto-Hilton Center for the Performing Arts with Mothers and Sons by Terrence McNally.

Mothers and Sons is a moving illustration of how societal changes have mpacted gay Americans in the past three decades. The show spotlights the journey of Katharine, a woman who is still coming to terms with the AIDS-related death of her son 20 years prior. She seeks out her son’s former partner, Cal, only to discover that he now has a husband and a six-year-old son. As she and Cal explore memories of someone they both loved, Katharine begins a rocky journey toward reconciliation with the side of her son that she never understood.

The Studio Theatre series continues with Constellations by Nick Payne.

This daring, two-person show illuminates the limitless possibilities contained within one relationship.

When Roland and Marianne meet at a party, a multiverse of potential outcomes unfolds. Each choice they make unlocks a series of branching story paths — some wonderful, some tragic. Payne’s genre-busting new play explores these alternate universes with wit, wonder and an overflowing sense of life. Hailed

by The New Yorker as “a singular astonishment,” Constellations creates a vibrant collision of love and

theoretical physics.

Closing the series is The Royale, by Marco Ramirez and directed by Stuart Carden. The brutal rhythm of boxing underscores this brilliantly stylized drama. Rising black prizefighter Jay “The Sport” Jackson dominates his opponents, but the harsh social realities of the early 1900s force him to fight twice as hard to earn recognition outside of the ring. Loosely based on iconic fighter Jack Johnson, The Royale brings us ringside to one man’s quest for victory against all odds.

“Our Studio Theatre season has incredible stylistic diversity,” said Steven Woolf, The Rep’s Augustin Family Artistic Director. “Mothers and Sons is a beautiful and understated piece, Constellations is

an impressive feat of unconventional storytelling, and The Royale makes full use of lighting and sound to capture the audience’s imagination.

It’s a remarkable collection of shows that adds exciting new dimensions to The Rep’s 50th anniversary season.”

Artistic adventures The Rep to present "Until the Flood"

A Pulitzer Prize finalist will bring a c o n v e r s a t i o n - s t a r t i n g w o r l d p re m i e re to The Rep. "Until the Flood," by Dael O r l a n d e r s m i t h a n d d i re c t e d b y N e e l Keller, runs October 12 – November 6 on the Browning Mainstage of the LorettoHilton Center for the Performing Arts.

Curtain times are Tuesdays at 7 pm; Wednesdays-Fridays at 8 pm; selected We d n e s d a y m a t i n e e s a t 1 : 3 0 p m ; S a t u rd a y m a t i n e e s a t 4 p m ; s e l e c t e d Saturday nights at 8 pm; Sunday matinees at 2 pm; and selected Sunday evenings at 7 pm.

C e l e b r a t e d w r i t e r, p e r f o r m e r and Pulitzer Prize finalist Dael Orlandersmith spent a week in St. Louis interviewing people from every corner of the region about recent social unrest.

From these conversations, she has crafted a stunning piece that reflects the complexity of St. Louis. Orlandersmith’s play is a mosaic of voices that tells our re g i o n ’ s s t o r y w i t h o u t a d v a n c i n g a n y one viewpoint above others.

This world premiere was c o m m i s s i o n e d b y T h e R e p t o e x p l o re our city’s recent history and spark

community discussion. Its first public re a dings took p lace during The Re p ’s Ignite! Festival of New Plays in March, after which Orlandersmith further refined the script based on the experience.

Orlandersmith will portray eight characters that are composites of the real St. Louisans she interviewed.

They include a schoolteacher, a retired policeman and a minister.

As a playwright, Orlandersmith’s i n c i s i v e c o m m e n t a r y o n p o v e r t y, r a c e and substance abuse has earned her massive acclaim. Her 2002 play Yellowman (staged at The Rep in 2006) earned her a Pulitzer Prize nomination, and her 1995 solo piece Beauty’s Daughter won an Obie Award.

N e e l K e l l e r, w h o d i re c t e d Orlandersmith’s 2015 autobiographical s o l o s h o w F o r e v e r a t t h e N e w Yo r k T h e a t e r Wo r k s h o p , m a k e s h i s R e p d i re c t o r i a l d e b u t .
