Mysteries of the Unseen World uses innovative high-speed and time-lapse photography, electron microscopy, and nanotechnology, to transport audiences to an enthralling secret world of nature, events and 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 S a i n t L o u i s S c i e n c e C e n t e r. “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 s t r u c t u re s .

Travel India – The Taj Mahal Former Glen Carbon residents Bill and Claudia Perozzi are at it again.

The world travelers have taken another memorable journey. Here's a look. This is the fourth of five stories.

By CLAUDIA PEROZZI Anytime we have a problem with our electronics--and that's often--we have a number to call. We always seemed to reach young people who speak English with Indian accents.

When I asked them if they had seen the Taj Mahal, all of them answered that they had and raved about it, describing it as "most beautiful" and "gorgeous." Everyone of them encouraged me to see it for myself.

I re a l l y d i d n ' t n e e d m u c h encouragement to see what some consider the most beautiful building in the world. My husband Bill and I decided to book our trip to India as part of Overseas Adventure Travel's "Heart of India" which specifically included Agra, the home of the Taj Mahal. After visiting Delhi and Jaipur, we were ready to travel on to Agra, the third city in what is called the "Golden Triangle."

For me Delhi's main color seemed to be green while Jaipur was known as the Pink City. But as the home of the white marble Taj Mahal, Agra's color has to be white, which is also the color that combines all colors.

While words like spectacular and awesome are used for the Taj, they don't apply to the city.

As we rode into Agra, we could see families of gypsies camped out by their stalls with handmade items for sale. Trash littered the sides of the roads and showed no signs of ever being collected. Our guide Sujay described Agra as a zoo where monkeys watch people. Many of the buildings have bars on the windows to keep the monkeys out but look like they keep the people in. In India all animals, not just

monkeys and cows, are sacred. In most places they are free to roam, steal food, graze on garbage left in streets and defecate as they please.

In Agra, they were very free to do as they pleased.

But then our bus pulled up to the refreshingly sparkling Jaypee hotel, our most luxurious, and

evidence that cleanliness is possible.

A portent of things to come. The hotel staff was especially gracious as we were greeted with "Namaste" and marigold leis. The lovely lobby looked out on spacious green grounds. Off to the side I spotted a charming tea room. We took time out to enjoy a spot of tea as

we overlooked a great view of the swimming pool. Such a contrast from the city we saw as we rode in.

In a way we got a preview of the Taj Mahal by visiting the mausoleum known as Baby Taj. While the Taj Mahal was built for Mumtaz Mahal, Baby Taj was built for her grandfather, Itmad-ud-

Daula. Both were made of white marble and Baby Taj, which is smaller and shorter, may have been a model for the Taj Mahal.

The exterior has a flattened dome in the center of four minarets which are attached, not free standing like at the Taj Mahal. Inside, the ceilings, set with multi-colored stones, are especially eye catching.

Two cenotaphs, almost child-sized coffins, are the focus with one in the center and the other next to it.

Intricate carvings and inlaid semiprecious stones in floral designs decorate the interior walls. Baby Taj has also been dubbed the "Jewel Box" because it contains such a variety of colorful stones.

Later we got a lesson in setting precious and semi-precious stones in marble as we got to see master craftsmen at work in one of their shops. They started with white marble into which they carved grooves. The various stones were then shaved to fit into the already carved spaces.

November 20, 2014

Travel Continued from Page 8 The colors, including blue lapis-lazuli, red cornelian and yellow jasper, stand out on the w h i t e m a r b l e b a c k g ro u n d i n lovely designs. Bill and I were so impressed with the delicate work that we decided to buy a plate with graceful vines and flowers as our memento of this trip.

In the evening we rode to the Moonlight Garden behind the Taj Mahal. We eagerly strode in for our first look at our reason for coming.

The beautiful, gleaming white structure stood out in the setting sun as we viewed it across the River Jamuna. On both sides of the Taj are matching red sandstone structures, one a mosque and one a guest house. None of us had ever seen these two buildings which seem to be left out of most of the photos of the white mausoleum in the center.

After taking many photos, our group gathered on a low wall to hear Sujay tell us the story of Shah Jahn and Mumtaz Mahal. While not his only wife, Mumtaz was the favorite wife of Shah Jahn. The story goes they were so close that she accompanied him when he went on a military campaign. During that time she died after giving birth to their fourteenth child.

Shah Jahn was devastated and after several grief-stricken years, decided to build a lasting testament to their love which would become the Taj Mahal. The construction took twenty-two years to complete and involved an estimated twenty thousand workers from designers to fine craftsmen to laborers. The white marble came from India but elements of the design were from as far away as Italy and Persia. What a marvel in its day and still in our day.

It rained that night and the next day was crystal clear. We rose before the sun and rode in our bus as far as big buses were allowed.

At that point we were transferred to a van and when it became too large to continue on the route, we were carried in rickshaws to the entrance of the Taj. Here our guide was met by someone who had our tickets all ready so our whole way was streamlined.

We e n t e re d t h ro u g h a re d sandstone gateway and then we

viewed the glorious sight from the front, reflected in a large, rectangular pool, a sight that took our breath away. The clear blue sky, the green trees and lawn, the silver watery pool, all set off the magnificent structure which immediately had our cameras

clicking. The white marble domed mausoleum, topped off with the crescent Muslim symbol, is centered in the midst of four matching minarets. These minarets are so perfectly constructed that they lean out three degrees, imperceptible to the naked eye but just enough to fall

away in case of an earthquake. The designers thought of everything.

Leisurely, we approached on foot and after donning booties, we entered the ornate icon. Intricate carvings and inlaid semi-precious stones in floral designs decorate the interior walls. We knew everything was symmetrical with one exception: the cenotaph of Mumtaz Mahal is centered and next to hers is that of Shah Jahn, slightly off center but larger. These white marble coffins are covered with floral designs and Arabic words.

I was so glad we had seen how the semi-precious stones were set so we had an enhanced appreciation of the delicate craftsmanship. Inside and out, marble bas-relief, white on white, is very sophisticated and refined. As Bill and I walked around the outside, I was so elated that my feet hardly touched the ground, or the marble base.

Together we reveled in being at the “Dream in Marble.”

Sujay pointed out that the wording on flat pillars was slightly larger at the top than at the base, allowing everything to be easily read from top to bottom. So subtle and so smart. He also showed us some round pillars with a herringbone pattern that gave them a fluted, indented look. So clever. Intricately carved screens were formed from one block of marble; any slight mistake would have ruined the whole project. Such patience and care, such sure hands.

N o t o n l y i s t h e Ta j M a h a l practically perfect, so was the weather, the setting and our whole time there. Slowly we strolled along the pool on the walkway and then under sheltering trees, back to the

November 20, 2014

entrance, now our exit. We had soaked in the beauty from several vantage points and carried it out with us.

Sadly Shah Jahn was eventually deposed by his son who confined his father in Agra Fort. In the afternoon we visited this imposing double-walled fort which seems almost impenetrable. The expanse inside is as impressive as the thickness of the exterior walls.

Palaces and gardens flow into one another.

We wended our way to the pavilion where Shah Jahn had a view across the River Jamuna of his wife's burial place. And that was our last view of the Taj Mahal. We all agreed that seeing the Taj Mahal made our whole trip worthwhile but we still had much more to see.

When we got back home and had to deal with computer problems again--I said they happen often--we called our trusty Indians, the ones in India. This time I immediately shared that we had been to India and seen the Taj Mahal. "What did you think? Did you like it." "It's magnificent," I replied, "I love it!"

For The Edge

A visitor meets Santa and his helpers outside the Brown County Welcome Center.

Brown County rolls out the holiday welcome mat For The Edge Christmas is a magical time of year, especially in Brown County. From strolling carolers and Santa sightings to a holiday light parade, Christmas is a time to enjoy and celebrate with those who mean the most, as well as a time to give back to those in need. This year, give the gift of togetherness, make lasting memories, and celebrate the holiday season in Brown County.

With its fun holiday events, unique shopping, and quaint holiday charm, Christmas in the Village of Nashville is definitely worth checking out. From late November throughout the month of December, the holidays will be in full swing in Brown County, with several holiday events taking place November 28 through December 6.

Experience the buzz of the holiday season beginning the day after Thanksgiving. Kick off the holidays at the Visitors Center Holiday Open House on November 28.

And, Brown County is the just the place to do that.”

We need to show others that this community loves its children and families and we will not let them wake up on Christmas

The Arts

Presidents and power chords Washington University to present "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson" For The Edge Andrew Jackson prowls the stage in leather pants. A power chord fills the air.

“You ready?” he snarls.

Jackson was the seventh president of the United States, but this isn’t history class; it’s “Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson,” an irreverent romp through the American political id. In this Washington University in St. Louis student production, stout “Old Hickory” — or “King Mob” to his enemies — is refashioned as a brooding indie-rock icon.

“This is a crazy, crazy show,” said Jeffery Matthews, professor of the practice in the Performing Arts Department in Arts & Sciences, who directs the musical that runs Nov. 14-23. “The humor is ironic and wicked and over-the-top. Think sketch comedy, or ‘South Park.’

“But it’s also quite clever, and an interesting window onto political emotionalism,” Matthews said. “If the U.S. was born in the Age of Reason, the 1830s could be considered our time of national adolescence.

“And Jackson was quintessentially American.”

Visceral and sarcastic A war hero and a founder of the Democratic Party, Jackson is frequently ranked among the nation’s most consequential presidents. He was also a slave owner who ignored treaties with Native Americans, was responsible for the Trail of Tears and once killed a man for insulting his wife.

“Things begin very chaotic, very silly,” Matthews said. “But as Jackson ages and the death tolls mount, he is forced to deal with the weight of things. The play develops a much greater sense of seriousness and mortality.”

Yet within that arc, creators Alex Timbers and Michael Friedman cultivate a momentto-moment sense of anarchy and emotional whiplash. Jackson flirts with cheerleaders.

Jackson shares a too-intimate glance with Vice President Martin Van Buren. Feeling piqued, Jackson casually shoots his own storyteller in the neck.

“The play lives in that strange space between the visceral and the sarcastic,” Matthews said. “It can be ridiculous. It can be violent and jarring. But there’s always a point behind it. ‘Bloody Bloody’ suggests the kinds of things that the real Andrew Jackson, with his temper and tempestuousness, might actually have done.

“By the end, you’re left wondering whether Jackson was a great leader or an American Hitler,” Matthews said. “Or both.”

Cast and crew The cast of 18 is led by Jon Freeman as Andrew Jackson, Caroline Leffert as Rachel Jackson and Danny Marshall as Van Buren.

Kiki Milner is The Storyteller. Mitchell Manar is The Bandleader.

Alex Felder, Ben Harvey and Noah Weiner are John C. Calhoun, Henry Clay and James Monroe, respectively. Eric Chao is John Quincy Adams. Matthew Goldkind is the Native American leader Black Fox. Jackson Wellmon is Lyncoya, Jackson’s adopted Native American son.

Alex Mason is the Male Soloist; Katie Greenberg is the Ten Little Indians Soloist.

Rounding out the ensemble are Casey Lane, Hannah Marias, Talia Reich, Alessandra Silva and Namrata Vakkalagadda.

Jackson’s band includes Manar on guitar, along with drummer Wyatt Forhan, keyboardist Henry Palkes — who also serves as musical director — and on bass Washington University Provost H. Holden Thorp, PhD, executive vice chancellor for academic affairs and the Rita Levi-Montalcini Distinguished University Professor.

Choreographer is Cecil Slaughter, professor of practice in dance. Scenic design is by Kayla Kroot; costumes are by Chloe Karmin and Alani Douglas. Lighting and sound are by Casey Hunter and senior lecturer Sean Savoie.

Stage manager is Robert Landis, with assistance from Ji Hyun Ahn and Melanie

The Arts Artistic adeventures Dance St. Louis set for season

Dance St. Louis announces its full 2014-2015 season, which features eight striking, entertaining and diverse productions. The upcoming 49th season includes: New Dance Horizons III, Dance Theatre of Harlem, Tango Buenos Aires, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet, Compagnie Käfig in Correria Agwa, the 8th Annual SPRING TO DANCE FESTIVAL 2015 and two co-presentations with the U.S. Bank Broadway Series at the Fox Theatre: Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story on Stage and STOMP. Tickets are on sale now and are available at the Dance St. Louis box office at 3547 Olive St. in the Centene Center for Arts and Education in Grand Center, by calling 314-534-6622, or by visiting dancestlouis.org.

Tango Buenos Aires January 30 & 31, 2015 Touhill Performing Arts Center Back by popular demand, Tango Buenos Aires, one of Argentina’s greatest cultural exports, presents another fiery, hypnotic a n d e x p re s s i v e p e r f o r m a n c e .

Accompanied by musicians from Buenos Aires, the dancers flawlessly execute the Tango with impressively intricate muscular grace and interlacing movements between couples. For this special production, Tango Buenos Aires performs the “Song of Eva Perón” – a Tango dance and music presentation inspired by the most important feminine character in Argentinian history, Eva Perón. Tracing her epic life—from her ascent to fame in the 1930s to her death in 1952—this sparkling and poignant spectacle reveals the influence of Tango on Perón’s life. It’s a saucy and passionate story that keeps you fully engaged while you’re simultaneously swaying in your seat.

Aspen Santa Fe Ballet February 27 & 28, 2015 Touhill Performing Arts Center Cutting-edge, sophisticated, versatile, gifted and techniqueconscious – all describe the topflight dancers of Aspen Santa Fe

Ballet. Hailed by The New York Times as “a breath of fresh air” and by the Boston Herald as the “classically trained company of the future,” Aspen Santa Fe Ballet combines rugged athleticism with liquid grace, and blends European aesthetic with American vigor.

The company, also known for its commitment to commissioning new works, performs from a diverse and engaging repertoire by some of the world’s foremost choreographers, ranging from Twyla Tharp and William Forsythe to Nicolo Fonte and Moses Pendelton. With its sophisticated repertoire and broad appeal, combined with a blend of entertaining and engrossing contemporary dance, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet is one of the great success stories in American dance today.

Composed of 12 young, talented dancers, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet presents a lively program enjoyable for all audiences.

STOMP April 10-12, 2015 Fox Theatre See what all the noise is about!

STOMP is explosive, inventive, provocative, witty, and utterly unique—an unforgettable

experience for audiences of all ages. The international percussion sensation has garnered armfuls of awards and rave reviews and has appeared on numerous national television shows. The eightmember troupe uses everything b u t c o n v e n t i o n a l p e rc u s s i o n instruments – matchboxes, wooden poles, brooms, garbage cans, Zippo lighters, hubcaps – to fill the stage with magnificent rhythms. Year after year, audiences worldwide keep coming back for more of this pulsepounding electrifying show. As the Boston Globe says, “If you haven’t seen STOMP, GO! If you have seen it, take someone and share the pleasure!”

Compagnie Käfig in Correria Agwa / CCN Créteil et Val-deMarne April 24 & 25, 2015 Touhill Performing Arts Center There’s hip-hop and then there’s Compagnie Käfig’s brand of hiphop, with its global composition, international flavor and fusion of styles. With dancers set in motion to the rhythmic beats of samba, bossa nova and electronic music, this show is a savvy, wild mash-up of innovative, dynamic choreography

that promises to be one of the most entertaining highlights of the year.

Compagnie Käfig is the brainchild of Mourad Merzouki, a native of Lyon, France who studied martial arts and circus arts as a child and was influenced by hip-hop as a teen. Since 1996, the company has expanded the language of hip-hop by cleverly introducing a wide range of influences, ranging from Bollywood, Russian dance and contemporary dance to samba and capoeira to Merzouki’s own expertise in circus and martial arts.

By avoiding social stereotypes, Compagnie Käfig has managed to create its own unique style that does not deny its hip-hop origins, but rather enables the hip-hop movement to win over diverse audiences around the world.

Take a seat, sit back and enjoy a transformation in modern hip-hop like no other.

8th Annual SPRING TO DANCE®

FESTIVAL 2015 May 22-24, 2015 Touhill Performing Arts Center One of the region’s must-see festivals returns! Going strong for nearly 10 years, the SPRING TO DANCE FESTIVAL has become a Memorial Day Weekend tradition.

"Nightcrawler"

ASSOCIATED PESS RANKING: Not ranked

"Interstellar"

The most frightening thing about Jake Gyllenhaal in "Nightcrawler" — even more than those sallow, sunken cheeks, those googly eyes, and that unkempt hair tied into a greasy bun — is his smile.

They invented the word "creepy" for that smile, a goofy, confident grin that reaches its full breadth just when you're starting to realize how deranged this guy really is.

Gyllenhaal's bold, committed performance makes "Nightcrawler" one of the most entertaining movies of the year — though hardly the most profound. The film seeks to convey the seaminess of local TV news, summed up by the phrase "If it bleeds, it leads." The thing is: We already knew this. And frankly, there are so many disturbing things going on in the world right now that it's hard to get too worked up about it.

But that doesn't mean that "Nightcrawler" — think "Network," transformed into a taut action film — isn't a compelling and altogether impressive directorial debut for screenwriter Dan Gilroy ("The Bourne Legacy"). Gilroy starts slowly, then ups the pace until we're truly breathless by the culmination of the final action scene. It's a doozy, gorgeously handled by cinematographer Robert Elswit, who makes nighttime Los Angeles a simultaneously chilling and beautiful place.

Gyllenhaal plays Lou Bloom, a forlorn petty thief when we first meet him, who scours desolate places like construction sites — deep in the night — to rip off barbed wire and manhole covers, then sell them for cash. But soon, on his nocturnal travels, Lou discovers the "nightcrawlers" — freelance cameramen who follow police scanner traffic to grisly scenes.

RATEDL R by the Motion Picture Association of America "for violence including graphic images, and for language."

RUNNING TIME: 117 minutes.

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

Since his breakthrough with the backward-running "Memento," Christopher Nolan has made a plaything of time.

In "Interstellar," he slips into its very fabric, shaping its flows and exploding its particles. It's an absurd endeavor. And it's one of the most sublime movies of the decade.

As our chief large-canvas illusionist, Nolan's kaleidoscope puzzles have often dazzled more than they have moved, prizing brilliant, hocus-pocus architecture over emotional interiors. But a celestial warmth shines through "Interstellar," which is, at heart, a father-daughter tale grandly spun across a cosmic tapestry.

There is turbulence along the way. "Interstellar" is overly explanatory about its physics, its dialogue can be clunky and you may want to send composer Hans Zimmer's relentless organ into deep space. But if you take these for blips rather than black holes, the majesty of "Interstellar" is something to behold.

The film opens in the near future where a new kind of Dust Bowl, one called "the blight," brings crop-killing storms of dust upon the Midwest farm of engineer-turned-farmer Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) and his two children, the adventuresome 10-year-old Murph (Mackenzie Foy) and the 15-year-old budding farmer Tom (Timothee Chalamet). The rustic homestead, where Cooper and his father-in-law (John Lithgow) drink beer on the porch, recalls the Indiana home of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" — an early hint that "Interstellar" — moving and sentimental — will be more Spielberg (who was once attached to direct) than Kubrick.

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "some intense perilous action and brief strong language."

RUNNING TIME: 165 minutes.

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

Again teamed with Colin Firth, Nicole Kidman stars as an amnesia victim whose brain resets back to 13 years ago after each night's slumber in the decidedly average psychological thriller "Before I Go to Sleep."

Wr i t e r- d i re c t o r R o w a n J o ff e ' s a d a p t a t i o n o f S . J .

Watson's bestseller honors the lurid spirit of the pageturner enough to satisfy fans, but he doesn't transmute the material into something richer and deeper as, say, Hitchcock would.

The film opens with an extreme close-up on the bloodshot eye of Christine Lucas (Kidman), a woman who wakes up every morning and doesn't recognize her own bedroom or the man in bed next to her (Firth). She is suffering from atypical psychogenic amnesia, which means ever since she endured severe head trauma 13 years ago, she can't retain a day's events in her mind until she goes to sleep, but after a night, the slate's wiped clean again.

With a weary patience, the man in bed reveals that he is Christine's husband, Ben, and that she had an accident which caused her amnesia. When Ben goes off to work, the phone rings and a man calling himself Dr. Nasch (Mark Strong) explains to Christine that he's a neuropsychologist who's been helping with her memory disorder. He instructs her on where to find a camera in her closet on which she's recorded a video diary over the last two weeks, prompting an extended flashback to illustrate what she's learned so far.

It turns out there's quite a lot that Ben hasn't been telling Christine.

RATED R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "some brutal violence and language."

RUNNING TIME: 92 minutes.

As the Disney-Marvel mash-up "Big Hero 6" moves toward its big-action finale, the images will look strikingly familiar.

A supervillain wreaks havoc. A portal to another dimension looms. A showdown goes airborne over a metropolis.

It could be the finale of a dozen superhero films, with one difference: "Big Hero 6" is animated. But the majority of comicbook films are also computer-generated, particularly their large set pieces. Never has that been clearer than witnessing just how similar such scenes look as out-and-out cartoons. It's a little like seeing that the superhero has no clothes.

The 3-D "Big Hero 6" is loosely based on a little-known Marvel comic about a team of superheros. Crafting a more kidfriendly version, Disney (which owns Marvel) has focused on one of the heroes, the aptly named Hiro Hamada (voiced by Ryan Potter).

With his older brother, Tadashi (Daniel Henney) and their aunt Cass (Maya Rudolph), the 14-year-old Hiro lives in San Fransokyo, a beautifully rendered fusion of Tokyo and San Francisco, full of both nighttime neon and steep-hilled, Bayarea panoramas.

Hiro, whose parents died when he was a toddler, is an avid gamer happy to use his technical wizardry hustling unwitting competitors in underground "bot fights." His tiny, gingerbread man-sized robot makes mincemeat of more hulking machines.

"Big Hero 6" is preceded by a lovely little short, "Feast," a tale of a Boston Terrier's devotion to his owner, told exclusively, and cleverly, through mealtime. It makes for a tasty appetizer.

RATED: PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for "action and peril, some rude humor and thematic elements."

RUNNING TIME: 95 minutes.

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

"Rosewater"

You can take the man away from the humor. But you clearly can't always take the humor from the man.

This gratifying principle proves true both for the Iranianborn Canadian journalist Maziar Bahari, who was imprisoned for 118 days in Tehran and accused of being a spy, and of Jon Stewart, who captures Bahari's harrowing tale in "Rosewater," a clear-headed, sensitive and thoroughly impressive directorial debut for the Comedy Central host.

Bahari and Stewart, it's clear, share a sense that humor has a place even in the darkest circumstances — that it can soothe and even salvage the human spirit. And thus, in the bleak dankness of a prison cell, we're confronted with a truly laugh-out-loud vision of New Jersey — Stewart's much-maligned home state — as the prisoner entices his interrogator with a view of the Garden State as a sort of sexparadise-on-earth, where young women give erotic massages all day, and pleasure reaches such heights, it can even kill a man.

That could easily be a skit on "The Daily Show," but the fact that Bahari's Revolutionary Guard interrogator — a man he knew as "Rosewater" for the scent of his cologne — truly was bizarrely obsessed with New Jersey is one of the many stunning elements of the journalist's story, which began when he left his London home in 2009 for what he thought was a brief reporting trip for Newsweek.

That year's presidential vote pitted hard-line incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad against reformist candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, and when Ahmadinejad won, hundreds of thousands of Iranians rose up in protest. Bahari, who'd stayed on for more reporting, was arrested and accused of being a spy — for the CIA, the Mossad, and various others. The "evidence" included a clip of him being interviewed in a "Daily Show" skit with comedian Jason Jones.

"The Homesman"

"There's been some trouble about the women hereabouts," says John Lithgow's plains preacher in Tommy Lee Jones' "The Homesman."

The hereabouts is a tiny, hardscrabble settlement in the Nebraska Territory, sometime around 1860. On the desolate prairie, a handful of hardened settlers try to eek something out of the dry land. Going West never looked like more a questionable decision.

The directional movement of "The Homesman," however, is east. When three of the town's women (Miranda Otto, Grace Gummer and Sonja Richter) lose their minds, it's decided that they must be taken to a church in Iowa, across the Missouri River. Each driven mad — one by child-killing diphtheria, another by the constant rape of a cruel husband, all by the acrid isolation — they're the seldom seen victims of the male pioneers usually glorified in Westerns, collateral damage to an ill-conceived Manifest Destiny.

The town's men (Jesse Plemons, William Fitchner, David Dencik) aren't up for the monthlong journey by wagon, so the task falls on the sturdiest resident, Mary Bee Cutty (Hilary Swank). She lives "uncommonly alone," she says, with a twinge of shame, fastidiously running her farmstead. When she proposes to a potential mate, the dimwitted man turns her down, saying he'll go back east for a wife, and besides, she's too plain and too bossy.

This photo provided by Clarius Entertainment shows Colin Firth, left, as Ben Lucas, and Nicole Kidman, as Christine Lucas, in a scene from the film, "Before I Go To Sleep."

Firth, Kidman can't save average thriller

By LESLIE FELPERIIN Hollywood Reporter LOS ANGELES (AP) — Again teamed with Colin Firth, Nicole Kidman stars as an amnesia victim whose brain resets back to 13 years ago after each night's slumber in the decidedly average psychological thriller "Before I Go to Sleep."

Writer-director Rowan Joffe's adaptation of S.J. Watson's bestseller honors the lurid spirit of the page-turner enough to satisfy fans, but he doesn't transmute the material into something richer and deeper as, say, Hitchcock would.

The film opens with an extreme closeup on the bloodshot eye of Christine Lucas

(Kidman), a woman who wakes up every morning and doesn't recognize her own bedroom or the man in bed next to her (Firth).

She is suffering from atypical psychogenic amnesia, which means ever since she endured severe head trauma 13 years ago, she can't retain a day's events in her mind until she goes to sleep, but after a night, the slate's wiped clean again.

With a weary patience, the man in bed reveals that he is Christine's husband, Ben, and that she had an accident which caused her amnesia. When Ben goes off to work, the phone rings and a man calling himself Dr. Nasch (Mark Strong) explains to Christine that he's a neuropsychologist who's been helping with her memory disorder. He instructs her on

where to find a camera in her closet on which she's recorded a video diary over the last two weeks, prompting an extended flashback to illustrate what she's learned so far.

It turns out there's quite a lot that Ben hasn't been telling Christine. For a start, it wasn't an accident that caused her amnesia, but a brutal violent attack from an unknown assailant. Also, Christine learns she had a very close friend named Claire (Anne-Marie Duff), whom she starts to remember when Dr. Nasch shows her a picture.

Christine catches up on what she's learned from the diary each day, and starts to twig that Ben is not the gentle, doting husband he seems to be. Meanwhile, she finds herself attracted to Dr. Nasch, but while she may

think he's the swoony savior sort, viewers will feel they're being prodded to be more suspicious. After all, he's played by Mark Strong, a bad guy in so many films.

This is the sort of film where it's difficult to discuss the performances without giving away the big twists, so those super sensitive to anything that's faintly spoiler-ish should stop reading now.

One of the film's minor virtues is how it plays with casting, exploiting expectations audiences have around actors like Strong and Firth. It works especially well with Firth, who in the semiotics of British cinema especially, is the very apogee of cuddly male rectitude and moral probity. Here, however, he shows off a dark side.

"Big Hero 6" a sensory feast

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge As it turns out, the highly forecast weekend at the box office was even bigger than anyone had hoped for.

I’ve already told you about the fantastic release of "Interstellar "(boy that IMAX was impressive and loud) that I took in, but taking the spotlight away from Matthew McConaughey – no easy feat – was the Disney sensory feast "Big Hero 6."

And before you question your f a i l i n g m e m o r y, y o u d i d n o t see Parts 1 – 5. The title will ultimately make sense, but the real win here is with some awesome digital animation that will hook kids not just with its slick look and action-centric storyline, but

hopefully with heart (Baymax is the new cool character) and mind (there is a pro-science scholarly message at play that is refreshing).

I thought it was a nice return to form for an industry where kidfriendly product has been weak of late.

Set in the fictional hybrid world of San Fransokyo, "Big Hero 6" uses a blend of anime, traditional hand drawn sequences, and vivid energy to bring pagodas, the Golden Gate bridge, noodle houses, and granola-brained slackerdom into a harmonious new convergence. I can imagine that it was a pretty popular Monday morning discussion around the offices at Apple and Google, too. Following in the supportive footsteps of his brother, Tadashi (Daniel Henney), our hero is

literally Hiro (Ryan Potter), a whiz kid with a knack for engineering, mechanics, and robotics design that he uses for his own interest in “bot-fighting”. When the directionless prodigy falls on the wrong side of a battle with some dangerous thugs, the older brother shows him a different way, one that brings him to a prestigious technical school where people who think outside the box aren’t ostracized or avoided. They’re rock stars who get to work with electromagnetics, lasers, polymers, and other things that make you go ‘WOW’.

W h e n t h e k i n d l y P ro f e s s o r C a l l a g h a n ( J a m e s C ro m w e l l ) offers to let Hiro in on scholarship, his life seems to be poised for greatness. A horrible tragedy – one held to light gracefully by

Disney, something they’ve gotten so good at – soon sets things back.

It’s then that Hiro is introduced to Baymax, a vinyl, marshmallowshaped medical alert robot that his brother built to help victims of disasters. Baymax is voiced by Scott Adsit, the comic actor best known for playing Tina Fey’s boss on 30 Rock. He’s not got the look for the part, but Adsit nails Baymax’s kindly monotone. He’s a more sympathetic Wall-E, if you will. Together, Baymax and Hiro form a strong bond that helps each learn important lessons. But Big Hero 6 is no after-school special.

It’s entertaining and funny all the way through.

In a story that soon turns into part revenge-driven fight film, part do-gooder vigilante movie, Hiro and Baymax team up with some

November 20, 2014

of the other nerds from school to battle a rogue figure that is using nanobot technology to plunder San Fransokyo. Their team is sort of an animated version of The Big Bang Theory starring the voice talents of T.J. Miller, Jamie Chung, Genesis Rodriguez, and Damon Wayans Jr. Maya Rudolph and Alan Tudyk also have small parts if the comedy sci-fi dork inside of you needs further incentive to see this movie. They’re a diverse, wonderful little group and Baymax leads them all in his winged armor.

I loved it, so will your kids, and so will you.

"Big Hero 6" runs 122 minutes and is rated PG for action and peril, some rude humor, and thematic elements. I give this film three and a half stars out of four.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has turned away appeals from the Episcopal Church in a dispute over church property claimed by a breakaway diocese in Texas.

The justices on Monday let stand two Texas Supreme Court rulings in favor of the Fort Worth Episcopal diocese, which has held on to 52 church properties worth

more than $100 million since breaking away in 2008.

The diocese opposes the consecration of gay bishops, ordination of women and other policies its leadership considers unbiblical.
