he High Desert may never become the next Hollywood, but according to the High Desert Film Alliance’s Joshua Addante, it is a growing hot spot for movie makers, production companies and other professionals in the industry. Addante, who recently succeeded Phyllis Overall as HDFA chairman, says he’s seen more and more films being made in the area with budgets large and small. When those productions come to town and are in need of personnel, Addante said that’s where HDFA can be of service. The nonprofit organization exists to provide film companies with a network of producers, actors, production specialists, caterers and crew members. “A big part of what the HDFA aims to do is to help keep film productions in the state of California through offering

“Selma� wasn’t the only film about race to get short shrift from Oscar voters this past year. “Black or White� is a frank, touching and very well-acted melodrama about child custody and cultural perceptions of ((( F= + JK8IJ “blackness� and “the race card,� and could have earned Octavia Spencer and Kevin Costner fresh Oscar nominations. Mike “The Upside of Anger� Binder’s latest teaming with Costner has more anger, mixed with alcoholism and a bitterness that may mask racism. Elliot Anderson (Costner) tells his granddaughter Eloise (Jillian Estell) “We had a bad night last night.� Turns out, the little girl’s grandmother died. Granddad’s been drinking pretty much ever since. A couple of days pass, with him drinking and driving her to school and stumbling through tying a ribbon in her hair. She needs him to ease off the sauce, to be tough with her, the way grandma was. He needs to remember to make her brush her teeth. “Say it like you MEAN it,� the 7-year-old pleads. Eloise is of mixed race. Her mom’s gone and her African-American dad isn’t in the picture.

“She’s NOT black!� he counters. “She’s HALF black!� Binder and Costner soften whatever racial attitudes that Elliot keeps under wraps, in between drinks. Elliot hires a math tutor for this kid (what he really needs help with is combing her hair), and the tutor is an African over-achiever (Mpho Koaho) who becomes the ever-drunk Elliot’s driver and comical confidante. The script sets us up to buy into stereotypes, then flips those on their head. The rich suburbanite isn’t some cross-

hen it comes to big-name albums, it’s becoming rare for release dates to be announced much in advance. The element of surprise is a big bonus, and social media spread the word like wildfire. So, rather then tell us ahead of time, everybody’s trying to keep a secret, then spring it on us for maximum promotional value, Beyonci-style. So, along with the three to-be-announced releases by Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, and Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill listed below, a whole lot of other marquee releases expected in early 2015 have no specified arrival dates. New music is likely to arrive from many significant acts, most of whom seem to have one-word names — Adele, Drake, Rihanna, Miguel, Grimes, and Radiohead among them.

The 27-year-old finger-picking guitarist’s follow-up gently builds on that foundation, in quietly transfixing ways.

really brings the film, and the reality it represents, home. It’s in her expression when the doctor gives his diagnosis and pessimistic prognosis. It’s in the way she looks at her family, knowing there will come a time when she won’t recognize them. Ultimately, it’s in her strength as she decides to deal with her cruel fate in her own way. Still Alice doesn’t deal as well with how the disease affects those around Alice. According to the film, early onset Alzheimer’s often has a genetic component, so Alice’s decline could be her children’s future. Yet with the exception of Lydia, for whom the disease brings her closer to her mother, the members of the family are not fully fleshed out. This makes it all the more important that the character of Alice anchor the film in an engrossing reality. Moore is that anchor, making sure this cinematic ship doesn’t sink under the weight of what could have been a heavy-handed sob story. :Xjk: Julianne Moore, Alec Baldwin IXk\[: PG-13 (mature thematic material, brief strong language including a sexual reference) Ilee`e^ k`d\: 101 min.
