People People planner OMNIMAX film captures unseen world

A new giant screen film adventure takes audiences on an extraordinary journey into unseen worlds and hidden dimensions beyond our normal vision to uncover the mysteries of things too fast, too slow, too small or simply invisible. On October 10, 2014, the Saint Louis Science Center ’s OMNIMAX® Theater will premiere Mysteries of the Unseen World, an original production by National Geographic Entertainment and Days End Pictures, narrated by Forest Whitaker.

Created by an award-winning veteran film team, the new 40-minute large format experience is produced by Jini Durr (“Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure”) a n d L i s a Tr u i t t ( “ M y s t e r i e s o f E g y p t ” ) a n d d i re c t e d b y Lou i s S c h w a rt z b e rg (“ Di s n e y Nature: Wings of Life”). Mysteries of the Unseen World uses innovative high-speed and time-lapse photography, electron microscopy, and nanotechnology, to transport audiences to an enthralling secret w o r l d o f n a t u re , e v e n t s a n d breathtaking phenomena not visible to the naked eye.

“Mysteries of the Unseen World has that ‘wow’ factor that will impress adults and children,” said Jackie Mollet, Managing Director Visitor Services at the Saint Louis Science Center. “Seeing these amazing images will give you a new appreciation for the world around us. The technological advances used to capture these images are aweinspiring as well. ” INVISIBLE: We see only a fraction of the millions of wavelengths in the vast electromagnetic spectrum—the rainbow of light waves called visible light. The film shows audiences what it would be life if we had X-ray vision, or infrared vision like a mosquito, how a bee’s eyes see through ultraviolet light, what Gamma rays, microwaves and radio waves show us, and more.

TOO SLOW: Ti m e - l a p s e i m a g e s c a p t u re mundane events that happen too slowly for humans to perceive. The film shows plants creeping toward the sun and astonishingly complex “slime mold” searching for food.

On a grander scaled, time-lapse allows audiences to see our planet in motion—from the vast and relentless sweep of nature to the restless movement of humanity.

TOO FAST: High-speed cameras do the opposite of time-lapse, revealing secrets from the super-fast world of nature. The film shows slow motion sequences of events that happen too quickly for human perception: a rattlesnake strike; drug cymbals reverberating; a Eurasian Eagle Owl, the world’s largest, flexing its wings; a basilisk or Jesus lizard running on the surface of water; popcorn popping; lightning rising upwards from the ground as well as striking from the sky.

TOO SMALL: The film also peers into the world of wonders too small for the human eye to see—from the minute structures on a butterfly’s wing and the tiny organisms that inhabit the human body all the way down to nano-scale structures. See how electron microscopes create images that magnify things by as much as a million times—revealing a world

that is both bizarre and beautiful.

Guess which unusual image is a fruit fly’s eye, the skin of a shark, a flea on a cat, a tomato stem, an eggshell, and more!

Mysteries of the Unseen World then moves from the familiar events of everyday life to the building blocks of matter itself.

The filmmakers worked with a 3-D medical animation company to depict the atom-scale realm of nanoscience and potential innovations in nanotechnology. In a complex zoom sequence, the shot moves in on a spider, then a strand of its silk, then into the silk itself where audiences see a bacterium. The camera then zooms even deeper, in on a virus on the bacterium, then into the DNA of the virus and finally into the actual atoms of the DNA. “Mysteries of the Unseen World immerses audiences in mindbending dimensions that enhance our understanding of the planet and inspire people with the wonder and possibilities of science,” said Lisa Truitt, president of National Geographic Entertainment.

“The premise of this new giant screen film experience is looking at the world through a variety of

imaging technologies that allow audiences to see beyond what they can with the naked eye and gain a new vision of the world around them,” said producer Jini Durr.

Tickets are on sale at the Saint L o u i s S c i e n c e C e n t e r. P l e a s e visit slsc.org or call 314.289.4424 for advanced sales and group reservations.

Butterfly House hosts fall events

More than 1,000 owl butterflies will take flight during the annual October Owls and Orchids event.

The Butterfly House’s 8,000-squarefoot tropical conservatory generally houses 150 owl butterflies which are easily recognized by their chocolate-hued wings and bring yellow markings that resemble an owl eye. Throughout October, there will be more than 10 times the standard number of these butterflies representing three species: Caligo eurilochus, Caligo atreus and Caligo memnon.

October Owls and Orchids daytime events are included with regular admission.

"Three Acts, Two Dancers, One Radio Host" For The Edge You know the voice. Reedy. Amused.

Unflappable. As host and executive producer of “This American Life,” Ira Glass pioneered a new form of radio storytelling, one that combines journalistic precision with literary insight and irreverence.

But do you know the dance moves?

On Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 1 and 2, Glass will join forces with Monica Bill Barnes & Company for “Three Acts, Two Dancers, One Radio Host.”

The show, presented as part of the Edison Ovations Series, unites two distinctive art forms, dance and radio, that, as Glass jokingly puts it, “have no business being together.”

Dancing with the semifamous Barnes and Glass first met in 2011, when Glass appeared in a “Dancing with the Stars” parody at The Talent Show in Brooklyn.

Barnes was a judge, along with regular “This American Life” contributor David Rakoff.

The bespectacled Glass — who admits to possessing the body language of an aging Mr. Spock — took second place for a modern duet.

A few months later, Glass attended a performance of Barnes’ work and, sensing an artistic kinship, commissioned her in 2012 to create pieces for “This American Life Live!”

The evening was simulcast to movie screens across the nation and also featured dancer Anna Bass, a member of Barnes’ company.

That collaboration became the seed for “Three Acts,” a version of which premiered at Carnegie Hall in 2013. As the title indicates, the show, like “This America Life,” adopts a traditional dramatic structure. Act 1 explores the job of being a performer. Act 2 centers on falling in love and what it means to stay in love. Act 3 investigates the aftereffects of losing what you love. “ W h a t m a k e s i t w o r k i s a s h a re d sensibility,” Glass said. “As dancers, Monica and Anna are these amazingly relatable and funny storytellers without words.”

Said Bass: “I think it’s still blowing Ira’s mind to see some of the radio pieces remade this way, with props and costume changes and lighting cues.

“Combining these art forms has led to a show that’s unlike anything I’ve ever choreographed before.”

“People who like ‘This American Life’ will probably like this,” Glass said, “because it’s just like the radio show, um, if you picture dancing during all the stories.”

Tickets and sponsors Performances of “Three Acts, Two Dancers, One Radio Host” begin at 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 1, and 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 2. Tickets are $36, or $32 seniors, $28 for Washington University faculty and staff and $20 for students and children.

Tickets are available at the Edison Box Office and through all MetroTix outlets.

Edison Theatre is located in the Mallinckrodt Center, 6465 Forsyth Blvd.

For more information, call 314-935-6543, e-mail edison@wustl.edu or visit edison.wustl. edu.

Edison programs are made possible with support from the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency; the Regional Arts Commission, St. Louis; and private contributors.

Ira Glass joins Monica Bill Barnes and Anna Bass in “Three Acts, Two Dancers, One Radio Host." For The Edge.

The Arts For The Edge COCA presents Susanna Hamnett in Nearly Lear, November 8, 2014, in the Founders’ Theatre at COCA. Profoundly accessible and really funny, Nearly Lear has entranced both lovers of Shakespeare as well as newcomers to the Bard.

Upending expectations of what a Shakespeare play “should” be, Nearly Lear uses exuberant storytelling, music and film, along with Shakespeare’s rich poetic text, to take the audience firmly into the heart of the story. Actress Susanna Hamnett braves the most savage storm in English literature with breathtaking hilarity and heartache, honoring the beautiful language of Lear while taking a bit of poetic license. Nearly Lear is recommended for ages 12 and up.

M e r m a i d T h e a t re o f N o v a Scotia’s Stella, Queen of the Snow (November 22-23, 2014); COCA’s Ballet Eclectica’s The Little Dancer: Celebrate St. Louis (December 12-14, 2014); COCAdance and the COCA Hip-Hop Crew’s Perpetual Motion (January 10-11, 2015); COCAdance’s Continuing the Legacy (February 6-7, 2015); 24th Street Theatre’s Walking the Tightrope (February 2 1 - 2 2 , 2 0 1 5 ) ; C O C A T h e a t re Company’s The Little Prince (March 6-8 and March 13-14, 2015) C O C A P re s e n t s i s C O C A’ s performance series featuring the quality family theatre for which COCA has been known for more than 20 years. Comprised of shows created and produced by COCA, as well as the best touring productions from around the world, the COCA Presents performance series

"Nearly Lear" returning to COCA

offers bold, cross-disciplinary performances. COCA Presents 2014-2015 is presented by Wells Fargo Advisors, with additional support provided by Mary Strauss, The Cheshire, St. Louis Public Radio, E. Reuben & Gladys Flora Grant Charitable Trust, The Mary Ranken Jordan and Ettie A. Jordan Charitable Foundation, Missouri Arts Council, Arts & Education Council and Regional Arts Commission.

Adapted from Shakespeare by Susanna Hamnett and Edith Tankus, with initial research and development in association with Emma Rice and Mike Shepherd of Kneehigh Theatre, England, Nearly Lear is directed by Edith Tankus, with original lighting design by Michelle Ramsay, set design by Lindsay Anne Black, sound by Gavin Fearon and film by David Parker.

Nearly Lear received its first public performance at the Wi n c h e s t e r S t re e t T h e a t re i n Toronto, and has since toured to critical and audience acclaim throughout Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom, as well as a run on Broadway at the New Victory Theater, and at the Sydney Opera House in Australia.

In 2012, Nearly Lear was honored with the International Performing Arts for Youth (IPAY) Victor Award for Outstanding Production.

Susanna Hamnett arrived at her acting career sideways – “rather like a crab,” as director Christopher Morahan once observed while scrutinizing her resumé. Too shy at 18 to try out for drama school, she threw herself into Russian Studies at Cambridge University as well as in Russia and France. It was in Paris that a Russian actor and his wife persuaded Hamnett to follow her dream, and she won scholarships to study acting at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, under the tutelage of renowned Shakespeare and Voice coach Patsy Rodenburg. Hamnett has worked professionally in England and Europe with Red Shift, Orchard Theatre, Theater Alibi (in association with Theater Gardiniesze), Anatoly Vassliev (National Theatre Studio), Target Theatre (ICA, London), Yoshi Oida, and Emma Rice and Mike Shepherd of Kneehigh Theatre, among others, as well as a period at the Moscow Arts Theatre School.

Moving to Toronto, Hamnett trained and collaborated extensively with master clowns John Turner and Michael Kennard (of “Mump and Smoot”), and worked with Theatre Smith-Gilmour and Theatre Columbus as she began to deepen her exploration of the application of clown in theatre, as well as directing several clown shows herself.

Hamnett is a committed artisteducator who for several years has been a recipient of the Ontario Arts Council’s Artist in Education grants.

She has taught with Soulpepper

Theatre Company and the Lorraine Kimsa Theatre for Young Audiences, and initiated a program of teaching Shakespeare to elementary school students in an inner-city school.

Hamnett is currently developing a new solo performance from a script commissioned by the Kennedy Center ’s Theatre for Young Audiences department in Washington, DC. COCA-Center of Creative Arts is a non-profit community arts center with a mission to enrich lives and build community through the arts.

COCA connects our community to the arts through programs that emphasize social and artistic diversity, economic and cultural accessibility, hands-on experience of the artistic process, and the highest quality in our faculty. Founded in 1986, COCA is a national leader in innovative community arts education. COCA annually serves more than 50,000 area residents of all ages through multidisciplinary, multi-cultural arts programs that include educational classes, camps and workshops, both on-site and in community venues; COCAbiz; COCAedu; COCA Presents; and exhibitions of contemporary art in the Millstone Gallery.

Religion Religion briefs Next gay marriage fight: religious exemptions

Alarmed by the broad expansion of same-sex marriage set in motion by the U.S. Supreme Court, religious conservatives are moving their fight to state legislatures.

They're seeking exemptions from providing service or benefits for gay spouses for wedding vendors like bakers, florists and photographers and faith-affiliated groups that rent their properties for wedding receptions.

Exemptions also are being sought for religious charities that provide adoption and other social services, and for individual religious objectors like justices of the peace and government clerks.

But winning religious exemptions will be an uphill battle.

Public attitudes against exceptions have hardened, and efforts by faith groups in states where courts have imposed same-sex marriage have had little success.

Catholic bishops take distance from gay document

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Conservative Catholic bishops are distancing themselves from a document showing an unprecedented opening toward gays and divorced people, saying it doesn't reflect their views and vowing to make changes to the final version.

The provisional document produced at the halfway point of a two-week meeting on family life says gays have gifts to offer the church and that their partnerships, while morally problematic, provide gay couples with "precious" support. It says the church must welcome divorced people and recognize the "positive" aspects of civil marriages and even Catholics who cohabit. Vatican spokesman the Rev. Thomas Rosica says the bishops want to avoid words like "intrinsically disordered" or "living in sin.

But amid an outcry from conservatives, organizers of the synod insisted Tuesday that the document was merely a working paper that would be amended.

Christian group singer killed in Indiana crash

LEBANON, Ind. (AP) — Police say a singer and pianist with a Christian musical group was killed when an RV he was driving crashed over the weekend on a highway in Indiana.

The Boone County Sheriff's Department says 61-yearold Roy Bray of Trenton, Kentucky, was driving the RV carrying The Southmen Quartet when it went off Interstate 65 about 2 a.m. Sunday and into a wooded median near Lebanon, about 20 miles northwest of Indianapolis.

The department says Bray was pronounced dead at the scene, while 72-year-old singer Jim Hefner, of Albertville, Alabama, was taken to a hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries.

Two other group members on the RV weren't hurt.

The group was heading south after a performance in the northern Indiana town of Shipshewana.

QuickGlance Movie Reviews

"The Good Lie"

The movie poster for "The Good Lie" features a smiling Reese Witherspoon, front and center. But, truth be told, neither Witherspoon nor her character is the film's star — not in the essential sense. The real stars are the Sudanese children at the bottom of the poster, their backs to us, trudging across an empty, sun-scorched expanse.

"The Good Lie" tells a fascinating story, that of the so-called "Lost Boys" (and girls) of Sudan, youngsters orphaned by the bitter war that engulfed their country beginning in 1983, forcing many to trek for hundreds and hundreds of miles — over several years in some cases — to safety. And, admirably, the filmmakers keep these youngsters — and the young adults they became — central in their storytelling. They may have a Hollywood star on their hands, but this isn't a Hollywood star vehicle.

It's probably safe to say that many Americans know little or nothing about the humanitarian effort, begun in 2000, to resettle thousands of young refugees from Sudan in U.S. cities. For that reason alone, this movie, directed by Philippe Falardeau, is worth seeing. Luckily, it's also a compelling film — occasionally a bit too earnest, perhaps, or overly broad in its humor, but often deeply moving.

The story is fictional, but based on extensive research by screenwriter Margaret Nagle, who interviewed hundreds of "Lost Boys." The film begins in a southern Sudan village, where two brothers, Theo and Mamere, and their sister, Abital, suddenly find themselves orphans when attackers come rampaging through, killing anyone in sight.

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "thematic elements, some violence, brief strong language and drug use."

RUNNING TIME: 110 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

"Men, Women & Children"

If ever there was a movie that needed a window to be opened, a blast of fresh air to be let in, it's Jason Reitman's "Men, Women & Children."

The film, adapted from Chad Kultgen's novel, is about dreary faces in front of digital screens. A grim overview of the way the Internet, smartphones, sexting and all manner of cyber evils are corrupting our waking hours, "Men, Women & Children" makes "Frontline" look like a laugh riot by comparison.

Reitman's suburban tale artfully weaves a handful of overlapping stories of lonely teenagers and their lonely parents in small town Texas, all of whom are unable to summon a smile in the two hours of this dour, downbeat melodrama.

Among t h em: a p aran oid mom (Jen nifer Garner) obsessively monitoring her daughter's (Kaitlyn Dever) p h o n e a n d P C ; a s e x l e s s c o u p l e ( A d a m S a n d l e r, Rosemarie DeWitt) exploring extramarital partners online; an anorexic high-school girl (Elena Kampouris) encouraged not to eat by chat-room supporters; a singlefather (Dean Norris) watching over his video-game devoted son (Ansel Elgort); a perpetually videotaping mother (the always excellent Judy Greer) trying to help her attractive daughter (Olivia Crocicchia) become a movie star.

R AT E D : R b y t h e M o t i o n P i c t u re A s s o c i a t i o n o f America "strong sexual content, including graphic dialogue throughout — some involving teens — and for language."

RUNNING TIME: 19 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS: Two stars out of four.

On the Edge of the Weekend

"St. Vincent"

corpse-strewn battlefield. Out of the muck leaps a man who pulls the rider down and savagely bludgeons him in the eye.

Ayer, a veteran of the Navy and L.A. crime films like "Training Day" and "End of Watch," wants to make it clear from the start that he's making a film about the barbaric brutality of war. Setting it in April 1945 in the waning days of WWII in Europe only furthers the point that all war — even the supposedly "good" ones — is hell.

Into Germany rumbles Sgt. Don Collier (Brad Pitt) and his M4 Sherman tank. With "Fury" blazed on its gun and a claustrophobic warren of bickering soldiers within, the tank is a killing machine, as are its hardened inhabitants. The cast — Shia LaBeouf as the gunner, Jon Bernthal as the loader, Michael Pena as the driver — work to show the darkness that has settled behind their eyes after years of war.

Good and bad — the usual battle lines of most WWII tales — isn't the dichotomy of "Fury." A far cry from his debonair "Inglourious Basterds" Nazi-hunter, Pitt's commander is a tough, even cruel boss (and the eye-stabber of the opening).

"We're not here for right and wrong," says Pitt. "We're here to kill."

Such bleak, unnatural mantras are occasionally spouted

by Collier and his crew. The tank, a kind of a roaming lone wolf after its platoon is decimated, is joined by a new recruit, a fresh-faced, ill-prepared typist named Norman (Logan Lerman).

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "strong sequences of war violence, some grisly images and language."

RUNNING TIME: 134 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: One and a half stars out of four.

"The Judge"

When we first see Michael Keaton in "Birdman," Alejandro G. Inarritu's bracingly inventive and accomplished new film about fame, relevance, self-worth and lots of other intense stuff, he's sitting in his white undies, in the middle of a dressing room.

No, really in the middle. Like, in the air. He's levitating.

Of course you think, "How'd he DO that?" Turns out that's an apt metaphor, intentional or not, for Inarritu's entire achievement here. Fast forward to film's end, and we'll bet the very same words will be on your lips: "How'd they DO that?"

Still, it's best not to spend too much time thinking about the technical virtuosity of "Birdman," most importantly how it creates the impression, thanks to master cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, that it's all one continuous shot.

Remember Lubezki's 13-minute opening in "Gravity"? Merely an appetizer, it turns out. But the best thing about his work here is that it serves the narrative so well, you hardly notice.

Keaton, in a wonderfully raw, dark and vulnerable performance, plays aging actor Riggan Thomson, who earned fame and wealth decades ago playing a superhero, Birdman.

His fans want more; he's moved on. (Any parallels here with Keaton, star of two "Batman" films a quarter-century ago, are purely intentional.)

In a bid to restore his sense of self-worth, and perhaps to exorcise the demon of Birdman — a tall order, since, uh, the superhero still regularly speaks to him in his head — Riggan's putting on a show. It's a Broadway adaptation of a Raymond Carver tale, which Riggan himself has written, is starring in and directing. Your basic movie-star vanity project, only you get the sense Riggan's very life — or at least his sanity — depends on it.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America "for language throughout, some sexual content and brief violence."

RUNNING TIME: 110 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three and a half stars out of four.

If we were going to be curmudgeonly about it — and "St. Vincent" is, after all, a movie about a curmudgeon — we'd focus on the one major flaw in the film, and not on its pleasures.

But since those pleasures are so, well, pleasurable, we'll do what Vincent — he's the curmudgeon, brought wonderfully to life by the singular Bill Murray — would never do. We'll focus on the positive.

Which is considerable. Who wouldn't want to spend 102 minutes in the company of Murray at his grumpy best — his eyes in a perpetual roll, annoyed by anyone and everything, but somehow earning affection from those who annoy him? Not that anyone can figure out why. As Daka the pregnant stripper/prostitute, played Naomi Watts with a go-for-broke Russian accent, asks Vincent's young friend Oliver: "WHY you like him?"

F i r s t - t i m e d i re c t o r- s c re e n w r i t e r T h e o d o re M e l f i , who snagged Murray by first calling the actor's 1-800 number and leaving a voice mail, doesn't give us a lot of backstory about Vincent. But by the end of the opening credits, we know pretty much what we need to. Vincent's a mess. Retired and residing alone in a ramshackle house in Brooklyn, he indulges in booze and gambling — and pregnant stripper/prostitute Daka. At the bank, he learns his reverse mortgage has run out. He tries to empty his account, but discovers he's overdrawn by $114.

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America "for mature thematic material including sexual content, alcohol and tobacco use, and for language. " RUNNING TIME: 102 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

Just put Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Duvall in a room together and you'll have a movie, a truism that "The Judge" does its damnedest to disprove.

David Dobkin's film doesn't leave a melodramatic stone unturned, adding to its courtroom drama a sentimental tsunami of story lines: a mother's funeral, a father-son reckoning, a fight with cancer, a dash of alcoholism, a custody battle, a mentally challenged younger brother, and a hint of possible incest, to boot. Objection! Badgering the moviegoer.

But for a moment, the big-budget sheen of "The Judge" and its contrived, kitchen-sink emotionality is forgotten.

Downey's big-city, high-priced lawyer, Hank Palmer, helps his ailing father, Duvall's Judge Joseph Palmer, in an excrement-soiled bathroom, pulling him into the shower while they both struggle for an excuse to keep Hank's young daughter outside.

Even with the scene's gratuitous realism, it's the one natural moment in the otherwise schematic "The Judge."

As it is, the considerable appeal of seeing two fine actors as perfectly opposite each other like Duvall and Downey — one a rigid old cowboy, the other a manic pinball — is limited by the film's ceaseless heart string-pulling. This is a movie that uses Bon Iver's mawkish "Holocene" — the cheapest of ploys — not once, but twice.

Downey, Duvall battle in "The Judge"

By JAKE COYLE Associated Press Just put Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Duvall in a room together and you'll have a movie, a truism that "The Judge" does its damnedest to disprove.

David Dobkin's film doesn't leave a melodramatic stone unturned, adding to its courtroom drama a sentimental tsunami of story lines: a mother's funeral, a fatherson reckoning, a fight with cancer, a dash of alcoholism, a custody battle, a mentally challenged younger brother, and a hint of possible incest, to boot. Objection! Badgering the moviegoer.

But for a moment, the big-budget sheen of

"The Judge" and its contrived, kitchen-sink emotionality is forgotten. Downey's big-city, high-priced lawyer, Hank Palmer, helps his ailing father, Duvall's Judge Joseph Palmer, in an excrement-soiled bathroom, pulling him into the shower while they both struggle for an excuse to keep Hank's young daughter outside.

Even with the scene's gratuitous realism, it's the one natural moment in the otherwise schematic "The Judge." As it is, the considerable appeal of seeing two fine actors as perfectly opposite each other like Duvall and Downey — one a rigid old cowboy, the other a manic pinball — is limited by the film's ceaseless heart string-pulling.

This is a movie that uses Bon Iver's mawkish

"Holocene" — the cheapest of ploys — not once, but twice.

Hank is a glib Chicago defense attorney ("innocent people can't afford me") turns to his Indiana hometown for his mother's funeral and a reluctant reunion with his domineering father, from whom he's long been estranged.

Despite being a community pillar, Judge Palmer is arrested for running over and killing a man he once put in jail.

Hank defends him, along with a sheepish local lawyer (Dax Shepard) against a severe prosecutor (Billy Bob Thornton). The case is less the driver of the story than the frame for Hank's return to his roots (Vincent D'Onofrio and Jeremy Strong play his brothers, Vera Farmiga his ex-girlfriend) and bonding with

his father.

Duvall (who perhaps ought to have had more scenes dishing out justice on the bench in a movie called "The Judge") is in his wheelhouse, playing a tough-talking, jokedishing old man, but one haunted by regret and humbled by encroaching old age.

Downey, too, is in typical form, though he's never much tested to go beyond his easy, hyper-verbal charm. But his live-wire act remains a thing to behold. Where one actor reacts once, Downey reacts half-a-dozen times, alert to every word and gesture.

Seemingly anxious that in today's cinema there's no place for a simple courtroom drama or a coming-home tale, "The Judge" fuses the two together.

Sensational cast shines in "Fury"

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge It seems that the precedent set by "Saving Private Ryan’s" release in 1998 is alive and well. That is, we are no longer content to show our war films from a birdseye perspective, or simply focus in on the action of our central characters. We can only be content by furthering the gritty realism of the ‘war is Hell’ showcase. I can only assume that it is, having never served.

"Fury," the new thrilling picture from writer-director David Ayer borrows more than liberally from the great Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg film. The ravages of fighting abroad look visually stunning. They also incorporate

a lot of modern special effects that amp up the excitement. The film features a sensational cast full of just-under-the-A-list actors supporting Brad Pitt in a film that is right in his wheelhouse.

The worse Pitt looks on-screen – no easy feat for the handsome star - the better we love his roles (think Fight Club when he gets the tar kicked out of him on a regular basis).

As “Wardaddy” Don Collier, Pitt commands Fury, a Sherman tank that has been a resilient fighting machine from the time it landed at Normandy on D-Day throughout the North African campaign, and well into the German homeland during Hitler’s last gasp efforts to keep his Reich alive in April of 1945.

World War II is as dirty, grimy, and

unflinching on film here as it always is. The biggest difference, though, is that largely, Fury takes place on a small scale and really only features five actors in large parts during its lengthy running time. The armored behemoth is a quirk unto herself and joins fellow tanks Old Phyllis, Lucy Sue, and Murder, Inc. in an important final showdown.

C o l l i e r ’ s m e n a re s k e t c h y, dangerous, and even a little cuckoo at times. Boyd Swan (Shia LaBeouf) is a man of God, or so he claims.

He preaches love and tolerance, but mans Fury’s biggest gun. Gordo Garcia (Michael Pena) is a loud Mexican-American soldier who drives Fury’s stick and shouts obscenities at the enemy outside his periscope. Grady Travis (Jon Bernthal) is a mechanic that is

probably the worst of the three, living only for his most base desires like booze and sex – both of which you never doubt that he’ll steal off the citizens of the towns they “liberate”. The newest member of their team, assistant driver and forward gunner Norman Ellison (Logan Lerman) is a misplaced kid bumped from the typing corps to the front line when recruitment gets tough. Collier forces him to be a reliable soldier, even going so far as to making him kill in order to get the hang of it.

LaBeouf ’s character displays none of the bizarre antics that the performer has been known to use in his real life, imbuing his role of Swan with a gentle nature, slimy mustache, and hidden temper.

Bernthal, conversely, plays Travis

October 30, 2014

with the same maniacal malfeasance that he used for his greatest character, Shane, on AMC’s The Walking Dead. The casting of the lot, but these two in particular, make the film all that more enjoyable. We might come for the tank and tracertrail shell fire, but it’s the people that we stay to enjoy - even if they aren’t good folks. In fact, Collier loves his men with a fiery and protective passion. He might go to any lengths to keep them alive, but you’ll often get the feeling that he doesn’t really like them. Theirs is a relationship full of mutually-assured survival.

"Fury" runs 149 minutes and is rated R for strong sequences of war violence, some grisly images, and language throughout. I give this film three stars out of four.

Travel Dubai – City of the future Former Glen Carbon residents Bill and Claudia Perozzi are at it again.

The world travelers have taken another memorable journey. Here's the first of five stories.

By CLAUDIA PEROZZI Dubai is like some other places but no other place is like Dubai. It's been called “Las Vegas-on-steroids,” “Shanghai-on-steroids” and Super Disneyland as it has borrowed aspects of these other places. But Dubai combines its originality with copied elements in a truly unique way.

I had been fascinated by and curious about Dubai since I began hearing about it but I never expected to have the opportunity to visit this amazing city in the United Arab Emirates. However, as we chatted with another traveler on a recent trip, he said, "If you ever want to see Dubai, go now!"

He explained to us that Dubai had overbuilt and the recession was forcing it to offer hotel rooms at reduced rates.

So when Bill was planning our flight to India in the fall and he realized that Dubai could be a stop en route, we both jumped at the opportunity. We were also excited to fly Emirates Airlines which I expected to be the nearest to first class that we might ever get. I was so wrong. Emirates had recently reconfigured its economy class with extra seating resulting in narrower seats and aisles. This very long flight (sixteen hours from our west coast) was an extremely tight fit in cramped quarters.

We were happy to arrive at the very modern and efficient airport in Dubai.

It was late evening but we easily found a taxi to take us to our hotel.

Our driver, a woman from Tunisia who spoke English, was our first introduction to the huge imported labor pool of immigrants from poorer

countries who, we later learned, make up 70% of the population.

At our Savoy Crest Hotel, which we had booked on the Internet, we were upgraded to a suite. We could have brought our whole family.

The living room/dining room had a hideabed, the full kitchen had a washer/dryer and the apartment

had an extra bathroom. Maybe they were compensating for the little room on the flight.

The next day we decided to take the Hop-On, Hop-Off bus to see the sights. We almost melted in the stifling heat as we walked to catch the bus but we cooled down immediately on the air

conditioned ride. For our first day we concentrated on the older section of the city where our bus ride included a short cruise on a dhow, an open air river boat. Cruising down the Dubai Creek we could see shiny skyscrapers on one side and older, historic buildings with wind catching towers on the other side.

We took a stop at the Dubai Museum where we got a history lesson. Dubai's location on the southeast coast of the Persian Gulf enabled it to become a fishing village, a pearl diving center and a trading port in the 1800’s. Then oil was discovered in 1959 and life was never the same. The village became the international city which has provided fortunes to the descendents of the early settlers. The sheiks of the ruling Al Maktoum family can be seen pictured on some of the buildings throughout the city.

Back on board, we headed for the souks, the markets where local goods are sold and bargaining is expected. We were tough customers as we didn't want to become burdened with extra weight this early in our trip so we resisted buying souvenirs. We could have made room for jewelry when we visited the gold souqs, a whole section of shops selling gobs of gold jewelry, but that would have lightened our wallets too much.

On the Edge of the Weekend

October 30, 2014

Travel Continued from Page 14 That evening we returned to the Big Bus for a spectacular night tour. We had sweltered in the heat of the day and welcomed the relative cooling effect of the setting sun. Off we rode into the newer section of the city. The night lights dazzled as they began to light up the skyscrapers silhouetted against the darkening sky.

We still had enough light to see one of the most iconic sites of Dubai, the man-made peninsula in the shape of a palm tree. From a helicopter the signature shape would be very obvious but from the bus the palm fronds just look like short curved streets. Every street has residential housing, mostly condos. This would be a very high rent district. At the end of the main street, the trunk of the palm, stands a replica of the Atlantis Hotel in the Bahamas. So this very unique development is topped off with a copy, the perfect example of how Dubai is like other places but no other place is like Dubai.

The tour concluded at the Wafi Mall where a sound and light show was projected on a wall of the Egyptian style mall. Even more impressive for us was the open air restaurant set below ground and surrounded by shops next to the mall. The restaurant served only Arabian food with no translations.

We ordered by pointing to tasty looking items which turned out to be pretty tasty. The shops were much more upscale than the souqs we had seen earlier in the day. The ceilings in the hallways were decorated with stained glass that was back lighted to shine at night and the staircase banisters culminated in huge gem stones. A unique combination of Egyptian and European influences.

The night tour had given us a preview of the tour we took the next day in the modern part of the city. When I say modern, I really mean futuristic. Bill felt that each building tried to outdo the others, all sparklingly clean. Aware that oil will run out, Dubai is becoming a tourist destination and a financial center with tax breaks for businesses.

Our timing was just right to attend an introduction to Islam at a modern mosque. Like the other visitors, we left our shoes at the door and I was covered with a veil.

world with 1200 stores and an eye popping aquarium with huge sea creatures and scuba divers. These gigantic malls included western stores, eastern stores, Arabian stores and some just plain extravagant and exotic stores.

Dubai boasts the tallest building in the world, Burj Khalifa, which spirals up in a conical form. We ordered our tickets ahead of time online so we paid less and got in line sooner than those without tickets. Riding the elevator to the top at twilight gave us a dazzling 360 degree view of highways, tops of skyscrapers and beach-edging sea. Back at the bottom we enjoyed the waters dancing to music in the fountains a la Las Vegas. Another example of a unique building set in a replica of fountains from elsewhere.

Bill thought we saved the best for last: our Arabian Adventure which we also preordered on line. Bill loved the 4-wheel drive ride over sand dunes like a roller coaster ride without the tracks. The other passengers, Aussie ladies, squealed more from fright than delight. I may have squealed a time or two myself.

I loved chatting with our skilled driver from Pakistan. In perfect English he explained that he and his wife, a teacher, had moved to Dubai because wages were much higher than in their native country.

Although they had already lived in Dubai for twelve years, they could never become citizens, nor could their children who were born here.

Imagine visiting a country and never meeting one of its citizens.

We realized at this point that only the descendents of the early settlers could be citizens and they did not mix with tourists like us. If they worked at all, they held the most important positions in the government. Furthermore, imagine visiting a country and never coming across another American. We met other English speakers but they were from England, Australia and India. Some Americans are hired as temporary workers but we didn't get to meet them.

Continuing on our Arabian Adventure, we paused to watch a falconer from South Africa demonstrate using a falcon to locate small game in the desert. At another break Bill and I rode camels into the setting sun as a full moon was rising. We arrived at the dinner destination where we reclined on A friendly woman in a black burka carpets at low tables as we dined spoke with a Scottish accent as she on chicken, lamb and many side recited Islamic tenets. She said we dishes. The evening's entertainment could ask her anything so up shot was provided by a very pretty and my hand. “Why do the women talented belly-dancer. I wished I wear black?” I wondered. She could ask the Muslim lady another said she likes black so she can wear question: Why do some women anything she wants under it and wear black cover-ups but the belly because it provides a kind of shade. dancer in purple veils showed a lot So up shot my hand with a follow of skin and had moves that would up question: Why don’t the men have been appreciated in Las Vegas? wear black? But she didn’t call on While Dubai is like Las Vegas, me a second time. another fantasy city sprung up in Continuing on our tour, we rode a desert; like Shanghai, another

Travel

By TOM UHLENBROCK For The Edge Elk are early risers.

The best way to see an elk, on the self-guided driving tours at Peck Ranch Conservation Area, is to arrive at dawn. That’s when elk are most likely to stroll out of the woods to graze in the grassy fields along the gravel roads.

“You may see an elk at any time of the day, but your chances are greater during the hour after sunrise and the hour before sunset,” said David Hasenbeck, elk coordinator at the conservation area. “They’re at the food plots early in the morning and late in the evening. But these are wild animals, and it’s not a fencedin park, so there’s no guarantee.

On my first visit to the area, pink clouds announced daybreak as I slowly cruised the main road and spotted huge dark forms near the edge of the woods. A bull elk stood like a sentinel while several cows moved out to graze. Two younger males locked horns in mock battle.

As an added treat, the bull bugled to keep his “harem” from roaming too far, and the eerie sound echoed through the valley. Like the plaintive cry of the loon, elk bugling is one of the signature calls of the wild.

“It’s haunting – once you hear it, you’ll know what it is,” Hasenbeck said. “It’s very cool, even for a crusty old biologist like me.”

The bugling is heard during rutting season, from mid-September through late October. With autumn colors decorating the hills and valleys, fall is a prime time to go for an elk tour.

“Winter also is a really good time because they tend to be out in the fields longer, and it’s easier to see them in the woods,” Hasenbeck said. “But you can see them any time of the year. As the herd expands, it’s going to get easier and easier to see elk.”

Once found throughout most of Missouri, elk disappeared from the state about 150 years ago because of over hunting and habitat loss. In 2011, the Missouri

Missouri Department of Conservation

Pictured are Elk in Missouri.

Department of Conservation began restoring the species, using elk trapped in Kentucky.

Peck Ranch Conservation Area, in northwest Carter County and eastern Shannon County in southeast Missouri, was chosen as the release site. The area consists of 23,048 acres of rugged hills covered in oak and pine, pocked with rocky glades. The hills are separated by deep, dark hollows.

In the spring of 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Conservation Department brought in three

On the Edge of the Weekend

shipments of elk, for a total of just over 100 released. They thrived, producing calves that enlarged the herd to about 125 today.

Radio collars are strapped to the released animals to monitor their movements.

“They stayed in the area because of good habitat conditions,” Hasenbeck said. “We kind of set the table for them, and it’s worked pretty well.”

The Conservation Department has established a “target zone” for the elk expansion; an area of 350

October 30, 2014

square miles in Reynolds, Carter and Shannon counties. The goal is to have a population of some 500 animals in the zone, which could take up to 20 years at the current growth rate of about 10 percent per year.

The elk already have expanded into the nearby Current River Conservation Area, which has created self-guided elk driving tours through its 29,290 acres.

The driving tours at the two conservation areas are on marked gravel roads, which were in good shape on a recent visit.

However, vehicles should have adequate ground clearance. Road conditions can be checked by calling 855-263-2355.

The conservation areas are adjacent to the Ozark National Scenic Riverways, the national park that preserves the Current and Jacks Fork rivers. Elk have been spotted along the Current River, especially from the Two Rivers access to Van Buren.

“One of the common misconceptions is that we intended this to be a border-to-border restoration, like deer and turkey,” Hasenbeck said. “We don’t intend for them to expand into the agricultural areas of northern Missouri. We will keep them in the Ozarks, where it’s more suitable.”

The Conservation Department is managing the elk as a game animal, meaning hunting seasons may be established when numbers increase.

“When we get to 200 animals, we will consider limited permits for hunting,” Hasenbeck said.

Elk, Bear and Mountain Lions, Too While elk are the stars, Hasenbeck

noted that improving habitat for elk also means quality conditions for other plant and animal species in the area.

“It’s not just about elk; you could run into deer, turkey, bobcats,” Hasenbeck said. “Somebody last week reported a very rare badger sighting. There are a large number of rare and declining species associated with this glade/woodland habitat.

It just so happens that glades and woodlands are fantastic for elk. It’s a win-win situation.”

Game cameras set up in the area have recorded the natural return of two other animals that formerly roamed Missouri: black bear and mountain lions.

Park staffers set up some of the cameras around the carcasses of elk that died of natural causes.

“We have four different instances of lions scavenging on these elk,” Hasenbeck said.

“What better use of a dead elk than to feed a mountain lion? That’s a pretty neat interaction between two of the rarest mammals in Missouri.”

With the word getting out that the two conservation areas are open to driving tours, more and more vehicles are showing up, including some with license plates from surrounding states,” Hasenbeck said.

“A lot of the tourism in this part of the state is related to the Ozark National Scenic Riverways,” he said.

“With elk, we’re just cracking the tip of the iceberg.”

Music Tuning in Sheldon to host Ladysmith Black Mambazo

Ladysmith Black Mambazo, the most prominent a cappella vocal group from South Africa, has been a messenger of “Peace, Love and Harmony” for over fifty years.

The group will perform at the Sheldon Concert Hall in St. Louis on February 22 at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are $45 orchestra/$40 balcony. Call MetroTix at 314-534-1111 or visit TheSheldon. org.

Led by Joseph Shabalala, the group rose to prominence after Paul Simon incorporated their rich tenor into his famous album, Graceland. A year later, in 1988, their first worldwide release, Shaka Zulu, won a Grammy Award for Best Folk Recording. Since then, the group has been awarded two more Grammy Awards for Raise Your Spirit Higher (2004) and Ilembe (2009) and have been nominated a total of fifteen times. Ladysmith Black Mambazo has worked with many artists

including Stevie Wonder, Dolly Parton, Sarah McLachlan, Josh Groban, Emmylou Harris and more. A film documentary titled On Tip Toe: Gentle Steps to Freedom, the story of Ladysmith Black Mambazo, was nominated for an Academy Award in 2001. They have also appeared on Broadway and have been nominated for Tony Awards and have won a Drama Desk Award.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo was bestowed with the title of “South African Cultural Ambassadors to the World” by Nelson Mandela. He asked the group to join him on his trip to Oslo, Norway in 1993 when he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The group was also invited to perform at the celebration when Mandela was inaugurated president.

They feel a strong connection with what Mandela embraced and upon his passing, the group vowed that the legacy he left for the world will always resonate in their souls.

In 2014, Ladysmith Black Mambazo is releasing their newest CD, Always With Us. This collection of songs by Nellie Shabalala, Joseph’s late wife, was recorded with her

church choir in 2001.
