hen I sat down with Kevin Durant on Aug. 21 to discuss his new family film, “Thunderstruck,” it was as an entertainment writer who, thanks mainly to the extraordinary efforts of Durant and his Oklahoma City Thunder teammates, only recently became a basketball fan. So most of what we discussed was in my particular wheelhouse — movies and music.

As you will read in my interview with Durant on page 20, basketball served as his primary focus during his childhood spent in gyms and on courts in Washington, D.C. and Prince George’s County, Md., and when he watched movies, he gravitated toward basketball-themed films that could serve as inspiration or influence — “Hoosiers” and “Above the Rim” figured prominently. And music powered him through and does so to this day. Jay-Z and Lil Wayne, along with the late and sorely missed Aaliyah, filled his headphones then and now, and his mother, Wanda Pratt, introduced him to old-school R&B, something that provided a foundation for his current interest in neo-soul acts.

But one aspect of our conversation I found particularly instructive about life in the spotlight. At this point, after going all the way to the NBA finals and earning a gold medal at the Summer Olympic Games in London, Durant is one of the most famous people in the world. Then, if you factor in his likeability, Durant becomes this towering presence.

But even someone as well-known as No. 35 is impressed when he meets his own idols. No

BY GEORGE LANG LOOKATOKC EDITOR matter what you achieve, there will always GLANG@OPUBCO.COM be personal heroes who, when you finally get BLOG.NEWSOK.COM/ introduced to them, still knock you out.

STATICBLOG “I met Jay-Z before, Beyonce, I met guys like P. Diddy before and I met Denzel,” Durant said. “I met a lot of people from playing basketball, man — people I was blessed to meet. I’ve built a relationship with a few rappers. It’s pretty cool to be a part of a group of people who worked their way up in their profession.”

It was that last line that resonated as I left the interview. Durant does not particularly value fame — he values achievement.

On Sunday, Aug. 27, as I was making my usual pass through entertainment cyberspace, the breathlessly reported top story on Entertainment Weekly’s Web site announced that Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, a member of the cast of my nightmares as well as MTV’s “Jersey Shore,” had given birth to a baby boy, Lorenzo Dominic LaValle.

Lorenzo’s mother is wealthy beyond reason or justification for doing almost nothing. She is famous for being famous.

If, on the outside chance, little Lorenzo lacks inspiration in his young life, a person to emulate for their abilities and their values, there is always Kevin Durant. With all his visability, the things that make you famous are light-years more important to this great basketball player than fame itself.

2 Chainz plays best as guest

E

very year in pop music has its little idiosyncrasies, and one of 2012’s best, most fun ones has been the emergence of a 35-year-old Atlanta rapper who once went by an unfortunate moniker connoting either strip-club enthusiasm or poor weaning.

Scan the tracks on the Billboard Hot 100 right now and you’ll find the name 2 Chainz three times. He’s there twice for guest spots on top-tier hip hop star tracks (Nicki Minaj’s curious “Beez in the Trap” and the Kanye West gang-up single “Mercy”) and once for his own excellent “No Lie,” a track with an urgent, Drake-sung hook that feels like it draws all its confidence from 2 Chainz’s smack-talk. At one point he boasts that he’s “2Pac without a nose ring.”

New rappers are showing up on a hiphop-heavy Billboard chart all the time, but what’s curious about 2 Chainz is that he’s been around a while. Not unlike Rick Ross —the subject of the previous Headphonetics column— his story is that of a long-toiling hip-hop veteran who eventually bottled lightning. Working virtually unknown for thirteen years as half of the Atlanta duo Playaz Circle, 2 Chainz scored

MATT CARNEY All about music and the shows you should see, and shouldn’t see around Oklahoma.

one noteworthy hit, 2007’s legitimately great “Duffle Bag Boy,” which is remembered more for a great Lil Wayne guest verse than anything he contributed.

But in addition to earning him a contract with Def Jam, 2 Chainz’s “T.R.U. REALigion” mixtape signaled a sea change for the rapper last November, when it spat and rumbled its way into hundreds of thousands of listeners’ laptops. “REALigion” was propelled by some smack-talk of the so-funny-and-vicious-that-you-loseall-respect-for-its-victim variety. Instead of the forgettable, often meek one-half of Playaz Circle, we’d suddenly found a loud, flamboyant personality with more punch lines than Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, and a clever knack for bawdy wordplay.

Stylistically, 2 Chainz’s wheelhouse is in Brick Squad texturing and choppy, terse meters. He shouts onomatopoeias like Waka Flocka Flame (he’s even got a signature, almost moaning “Twooooooo Chaiiiiiiinzzzz” watermark on every one of his verses), but his age informs a broader range of humor that can embody and mock modern rap conventions. It makes for a devastating listen to those who appreciate witty comic timing and trunk-rattling Southern beats in equal measure. Case in point: a verse contributed to “Helicopter” on Lil Scrappy’s recent album, where he says he’d like a girl’s legs even “if they came separate.”

It’s a style that’s easy and inviting to listen to, and it explains why he’s such a popular collaborator right now. Scroll through his Spotify page and he’s shared tracks with the mega-pop star DJ Khaled, the decidedly underground legend E-40, and everybody in between.

Sidenote: At this point it’s worth mentioning that 2 Chainz has the best ab-

surd rap claim of the year under his belt.

The very first line of his verse on E-40’s “They Point” goes “Parallel park while I’m ghostriding,” which simultaneously tips a cap to E-40’s Bay Area hyphy compatriot Mistah F.A.B. and created an image in my head so funny that I narrowly avoided wrecking my own car when I first heard it driving east on Interstate-240.

But that style also deteriorates the listenability of his debut LP for Def Jam, “Based on a T.R.U. Story,” an album that proves such a style just can’t carry an hour-long, full-length release. That’s a long time for hit-and-miss punch lines, even if there are more hits than misses. And there are. But 2 Chainz’s spiking, immediate style and onedimensional persona (the guy’s basically a walking, rapping id with long hair and bling) eventually wears too thin to support 62 minutes of enjoyable music for the casual listener.

“T.R.U. Story” sold 147,000 copies in its first week on the racks, but that doesn’t really answer how long listeners will support a guy who’s great as a guest-spotter, but unable to stand up on his own. It’ll take a sophomore album to gauge that, but if 2 Chainz continues to bust guts on tracks for the biggest names in hip-hop, he may not even need to record one.

My take? Unless you’re a crazy 2 Chainz fan, don’t bother with his entire record.

The Internet’s empowered you to be your own deejay, so cut out the boring stuff. It’s not like “Based on a T.R.U. Story” is high art: You’re not missing anything by skipping a watered-down wannabe-Lex Luger track like “Wut We Doin?” to get to the unforgettable hooks on “Birthday Song.”

Are you ready for fall fashion?

I

t’s going to be fall in no time. The retail stores and boutiques are already pulling out the sweaters and scarves in preparation for the fall fashion. What will you wear to the bars?

Pleats, animal prints, peplum and jeans in every color imaginable were in style last season.

Luckily, the bright jeans can come out of the closet again. They are staying for at least one more season, and thank goodness, because I bought two pairs that I never thought I’d wear again. If you head to Express, you’ll even find the colored denim in the men’s department.

“A Night Owl” is focused on what’s going on in nightlife news for LookatOKC.

One trend making a bold statement is the bedazzled collar. Very strong collars in general are on trend for fall, but the embellished look is even more prevalent. If you’re going to wear this trend, stay simple.

Peplum is another style that’s in full force for fall. It is the 80s layered ruffle look. The fashionista could pull it off and make it look cute for a night on the town. For those that can’t make this work, leave it at home until you’re ready to do a “Romy & Michelle’s High School Reunion” costume for Halloween.

One of my favorite trends to arrive is the sheer or mesh look. It comes in dresses, skirts, shirts, and jackets — pretty much any article of clothing. It shows a little skin, but not too much.

Celebrities from Charlize Theron to Beyonce have been wearing this trend on the red carpet for awhile, and I think it’s brilliant. It shows off curves and creates a sexy look, but you can also find things suitable for the workplace.

The tuxedo flat is the casual shoe that can be seen in so many different patterns — leopard, snakeskin, plaid, glittery and so many more. If you plan on doing a lot of walking, this is the shoe to wear to look stylish yet comfortable. I’d even sport them at the dance club, and this girl loves to dance.

No matter what style fits your nightlife fashion, there’s one trend no personality can beat and that’s the color of plum.

Plums and other variations of purple are everywhere and so is deep red, and you’ll be able to pair them with more neutral colors. So next time you’re poring through the racks, remember what’s going to make you stand out.

Colorful jeans are staying in style for at least this fashion season.

‘A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT’ – CAMILLE HARP

O

klahoma City singersongwriter Camille Harp infuses her new EP “A Little Bit of Light” with a warm glow that occasionally flares into a scintillating blaze.

Harp cannily partnered with fellow Sooner State native and recent New York City transplant Luke Dick to make the acoustic-leaning, seven-song album.

Along with producing the record, Dick helped Harp pen three of the tracks, including the wise and folksy opener “One by One,” which showcases her unique raspy voice, and the lovely title track, which closes the album with an optimistic glow.

An ode to a failed romance, their “Thinking It Over” begins with a bright bounce but adroitly shifts tones, taking on a darker radiance

and spotlighting Harp’s skill at evoking complex emotions.

Dick also directed the music video for Harp’s seductively stripped-down rendition of Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m on Fire.”

The self-described Okie songstress’ slow-burn version of The Boss’ oftencovered 1985 hit kindles the sexual tension until you can practically feel the flames.

Harp veritably incandesces with her hopeful ballad “Maybe” and her mournful lostlove song “Cemetery Heart,” and she invites country-rock fans to burn up the dance floor with the twangy “Leave My Heart Alone.”

Harp’s father, longtime musician Garry Harp, penned the nimble toetapper about a cagey woman who warns potential suitors “you can have my body ... but when you leave, my heart stays here with me.”

Harp’s next live performance will be during the Sept. 14-15 Illinois River Jam in Tahlequah.

‘PARKLIVE’ – BLUR

lur is either shoring up its legacy to strengthen the band’s next chapter or capping it off for posterity — Damon Albarn’s assessment of the reunited group’s life expectancy seems to change daily.

Whether Blur has no distance left to run or has hope for tomorrow, the raucously remarkable “Parklive,” released days after the group’s massive concert in London’s Hyde Park at the close of the Summer Olympic Games, makes the case that the love affair between Blur and its British fans is reaching fever pitch.

For such a quick turnaround, “Parklive” sounds crisp and expertly mastered, but the short time between concert and marketplace also kept the band or any other powers that be from fussing over it.

This is, after all, a document of how

<<<

about 100,000 people bonded with Albarn, guitarist Graham Coxon, bassist Alex James and drummer Dave Rowntree, and throughout “Parklive,” they all come on like the biggest hooligan backup choir on record.

As Coxon begins playing the signature guitar line from “Tender,” the audience immediately starts singing the “Oh my baby” refrain, and on several tracks, including “Country House,” the crowd seems to be fighting Albarn for lead vocal duties.

Just before this performance, EMI/Parlophone released “Blur 21,” an expansive career retrospective that included nearly every note the band recorded, from 1991’s “She’s So High” through last month’s “Under the Westway.”

It also contained two concert DVDs, and yet there is no question that “Parklive” is Blur’s definitive concert document.

LOOKATOKC.COM

The proof takes place when Phil Daniels, who played Jimmy the Mod in “Quadrophenia,” reprises his role as narrator on 1994’s “Parklife,” barking out his lines and whipping the audience into what sounds like a football riot.

That intensity never relents in the set, replicated in the rabid reception for “Song 2,” “End of the Century,” “For Tomorrow” and the majestic closer, “The Universal.”

Like the past bands they admired or

the contemporaries who they fought for Brit-pop supremacy, Blur deals with the kind of internal struggles that could send them into permanent past tense at any moment, hence Albarn’s waffling over the band’s future.

But “Parklive” is proof that Britain and much of the rest of the world needs them around long after the London Games recede into history.

‘PERFECTLY IMPERFECT’ – ELLE VARNER

lle Varner’s mother sang backup for Barry White and her father was a session musician and producer in the 1980s, so it computes that a pleasing throwback aesthetic would form the foundation of Varner’s debut album, “Perfectly Imperfect.” Varner’s sweet and seductive vocal style is steeped in jazz traditions rather than post-Whitney Houston soul flourishes, and as its title suggests, “Perfectly Imperfect” rises above the rest by layering organic delivery and sensibilities into its first-rate material.

This emphasis on real rhythm and blues is addressed in style and substance on the opening track, “Only Wanna Give It to You,” in which Varner sings that she “came before this digital ocean where people only

move in digital motion.” Her slight rasp lends truth to the statement: Varner’s vocals never sound worked over and there isn’t a hint of technical sweetening on the glorious “Refill,” a slow-burning ballad about saying too much, too soon. Producers Andrew “Pop” Wansel and Warren “Oak” Felder throw some startling sound flourishes into the arrangements, including a sawing fiddle sound on “Refill” and the cracking snares and guitars on “Sound Proof Room.” But Felder and Wansel are strictly in the business of building a great sound for Varner, who shows off her soaring vocal mastery on the neo-soul gorgeousness of “I Don’t Care.”

Varner could be the real thing, a singer who can bridge the gap between the sweet soul of the past and the tech-enabled pop of modern chart singles. “Oh What a Night” is a party

banger about too much tequila and smeared makeup that succeeds because of the singer’s funny, self-deprecating delivery — what Varner does through nuance cannot be achieved through Auto-Tune. For emphasis, she goes almost entirely acoustic on the LOOKATOKC.COM

clever penultimate track “Damn Good Friends,” showing that “Perfectly Imperfect” is all the better for leaving in all of Varner’s distinctly human qualities.

‘Premium Rush’ peddles extreme thrills

‘P

remium Rush” moves like “The French Connection” on two wheels with no brakes from start to finish. It’s the Tour de France adapted to the mean streets of New York and it’s a thrill ride worth taking, especially for fans of extreme cycling.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt (“50/50,” “The Dark Knight Rises”) gives us a likable young daredevil to root for as Wilee (nickname: the Coyote Man), the best of the Big Apple’s agile, steel-nerved bicycle messengers, dodging and darting around speeding cars, combative cabbies and eight million peeved pedestrians on his “fixie” — a super lightweight, single-gear bike with no brakes — doggedly committed to delivering urgent packages and messages to their designated recipients in a minimum amount of time. Nothing stays this courier from the swift completion of his appointed rounds.

Nothing, that is, except maybe a dirty cop with impulse control issues.

Enter Michael Shannon (“Boardwalk Empire”) intense and electric as ever as Bobby Monday, a police detective who’s desperate to get his hands on an envelope Wilee’s been assigned to deliver to a certain party by 7 p.m.

It’s a package that could rid gambling addict Bobby of a debt owed to some very rough players who run a high-stakes Pai Gow game in Chinatown. When Bobby first confronts Wilee, claiming the sender wants the envelope back, Wilee responds: “Yeah, the thing is, once it goes in the bag, it’s gotta stay in the bag.”

Bobby warns, “It’s in your best interest to give me that envelope.”

But Wilee speed-pedals away and the chase is on, playing out rapidly in what seems like real time with the exception of a few brief flashbacks that reveal the story behind the envelope — which has a heartbreak-

ingly human center — and the different ways Wilee’s on-again-off-again bike messenger girlfriend Vanessa (a feisty Dania Ramirez), her Asian roommate Nima (Jamie Chung) and Wilee’s rival Manny (Wole Parks) become entangled in the situation.

Director David Koepp (“Spider-Man” screenplay), who co-wrote the script with John Kamps, keeps the narrative wheels spinning throughout this pulse-quickening 90 minutes, while Shannon gives another of his riveting performances, this time as an emotional powder keg with a badge whose presence, at once amusing and frightening, dominates every scene he’s in.

With Shannon’s furious turn adding fuel to the proceedings, and some of the most harrowing chase scenes and bicycle stunts lately committed to film, this is a spin around Central Park and points up and down Manhattan Island that audiences won’t soon forget.

‘ParaNorman’ gets credit for taking risks

F

or all the ghostly hauntings, zombie uprisings and witching ways of “ParaNorman,” it is the irreverent spirit of the classic 1985 film “The Goonies” that most strongly pervades the animated feature.

A 3-D stop-motion horror-comedy for kids — it’s not suited for most preschoolers but youngsters who survive the terrors of elementary school bus rides can handle it — “ParaNorman” is a throwback in more ways than one. In the age of helicopter parenting, it actually allows young characters to experience a harrowing adventure without adult supervision, it dares to dole out genuine supernatural scares along with real-life frights and it has the nerve to introduce dryly cheeky British humor that doesn’t originate from a toilet or a tired pop culture reference.

The story may get a bit muddled, but writer/codirector Chris Butler deserves kudos for taking risks with children’s fare that aren’t often seen in cinemas anymore.

The latest 3-D stop-motion project from Laika, the Portland, Ore.-based studio that made the similarly dark 2009 fantasy-horror feature “Coraline,” “ParaNorman” is set in the small, shabby hamlet of Blithe Hollow, where the denizens keep the local economy alive by exploiting the town’s frightful past, particularly the spooky lore about a witch hunt that hap-

pened there 300 years ago.

For a community of such macabre tastes, the townsfolk are surprisingly intolerant of 11-year-old Norman Babcock (voice of Kodi Smit-McPhee), who can actually see and talk to ghosts. He’s not exactly haunted by his supernatural gift: He and his long-deceased grandmother (Elaine Stritch) while away Saturday afternoons watching old zombie movies together, and Norman’s walks to school involve friendly chats with the assorted specters hanging around town.

But Norman’s family — his loudmouth father (Jeff Garlin), flaky mother (Leslie Mann) and superficial older sister Courtney (Anna Kendrick) — are uncomfortable with or downright hostile about the boy’s singular abilities. At school, he is dubbed “Abnorman” or worse and is the favorite target of resident bully Alvin (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). The perpetually cheerful and loyal Neil (Tucker Albrizzi), a fellow outcast because of his rotund appearance, is Norman’s only real friend, or at least the only one who is still breathing.

As the anniversary of Blithe Hollow’s witch trial nears, Norman’s creepy Uncle Prenderghast (John Goodman) approaches the boy with wild claims that the legendary witch’s curse is real and about to come true. Prenderghast is getting up there in years and says he needs Norman’s special talents to help him with his continuing quest to keep the witch’s spirit calm and

LOOKATOKC.COM

her hex at bay.

Of course, when a septet of zombies — led by The Judge (Bernard Hill) — rises from the grave and begins shambling into town, it gives Uncle Prenderghast a certain credibility.

While the local adults gather their shotguns, pitchforks and torches and work themselves into a dangerous panic, Norman embarks on his madcap mission to save the town, with his sister, Neil and Neil’s slow-witted but strapping older brother Mitch (Casey Affleck) in tow and overzealous Sheriff Hooper (Tempestt Bledsoe) wrongheadedly pursuing their “Scooby Doo”-inspired vintage van on her dinky scooter.

“ParaNorman” offers impish humor and fun thrills, plus some outrageously memorable characters, but Butler and co-director Sam Fell aren’t just serving up an empty-headed monster movie for the kiddies. Like “The Goonies,” “Gremlins” and “E.T.,” “ParaNorman” spikes the adventure with truly sad and sobering moments dealing with real-life issues like bullying, death and the mob mentality.

With “ParaNorman,” the spirit of those 1980s Amblin movies is resurrected in impressively detailed, lovingly crafted stop-motion 3-D, giving the Laika production a visual and aesthetic edge over most of the live-action or computer-animated films haunting theaters these days.

‘Sparkle’ remake outshines original

P

ractically from the moment that “Dreamgirls” hit Broadway in 1981, fans of 1976’s “Sparkle” insisted that the cult film about a 1960s girl group did it first and did it better on a frayed shoestring budget.

But if the new version of “Sparkle” lacks the grimy atmosphere, exploitative plot and slapdash, 1970s grindhouse quotient of the original, it makes up for those losses with better acting, far more coherent storytelling and a period setting that corresponds with the deep, soulful sound of Curtis Mayfield’s music. And as Whitney Houston’s final completed work, “Sparkle” provides a poignant coda.

The original “Sparkle” featured fine performances by Irene Cara as the title character and Lonette McKee as the gorgeous “Sister,” the oldest and most troubled of the all-sibling vocal group, and while “Sparkle” was not a box office success, the album of songs from the film that Mayfield recorded with Aretha Franklin is a classic.

It revived Franklin’s career and contains some of Mayfield’s best songs, including “Something He Can Feel,” which was a hit for the Queen of Soul in 1976 and then revived 20 years ago with a faithful cover by En Vogue.

So the original “Sparkle” is near and dear to many people’s hearts, but the screenplay by Joel Schumacher — his first big-screen effort — is full of excruciatingly bad dialogue. As a vivid and accurate depiction of African-Americans struggling with 1950s Harlem life, it is exactly what one might expect from the man who would later direct “St. Elmo’s Fire” and run the Batmobile into a ditch with 1997’s “Batman and Robin.” It didn’t help that director Sam O’Steen, a superb film editor (“Chinatown,” “Cool Hand Luke”) but barely hanging on as a director, could not decide what year everything was taking place — “Sparkle” had 1950s characters wear-

ing 1970s hair and fashion and singing Mayfield’s slick proto-disco soul.

Director Salim Akil and his screenwriting spouse, Mara Brock Akil (BET’s “The Game,” “Jumping the Broom”), soften the harder edges from the original story but make important contextual and character changes that give the new “Sparkle” the ring of truth. Set in late-1960s Detroit, “Sparkle” takes place after Berry Gordy’s Motown was already Hitsville U.S.A. but the city, wracked by riots and racial unrest, was facing tough times. Sister (Carmen Ejogo) is the radiant beauty of the family but has moved back in with her single mother (Houston) and her two younger sisters, Sparkle (Jordin Sparks) and Dolores (Tika Sumpter). Sparkle has natural songwriting talent, but Sister has the charisma, and aspiring manager Stix (Derek Luke) sees gold, as long as they can convince Dolores to defer her medical school aspirations and give her siblings Supremes-style symmetry.

The tragedy of “Sparkle” pivots on Sister’s bad decisions, including dumping the loyal but penniless Levi (Omari Hardwick) in favor of Satin (Mike Epps), a rich comedian with a deadly mean streak. Ejogo is stunningly effective as Sister, who spirals quickly just as the group, dubbed Sister & the Sisters, is on the cusp of signing with Columbia Records.

Like the original, Sister’s fall happens a little too quickly in the timeline, but Ejogo sells it and Epps comes off as the personification of evil as Satin drags Sister into a morass of drugs and abuse — this stand-up comedian has considerable range and a long career of great character roles if he wants it. And Sparks, in her first major acting role, gives the title character the combination of innocence and intelligence that makes her ultimate triumph feel true and believable.

The role of the disapproving matriarch is given a

greater emphasis in the new film, one that befits Houston, who also served as executive producer. Houston died shortly after filming was completed on “Sparkle,” and the screenplay is filled with lines that both reference the superstar’s troubled later life and resonate with poignancy in the wake of her death. She is in a supporting role, singing only one song on camera (a rendition of “His Eye Is on the Sparrow”), but Houston dominates the screen whenever she is present with a world-weary performance that feels all-too real.

The significant changes made by the Akils bring “Sparkle” into an inevitable comparison with Bill Condon’s 2006 version of “Dreamgirls,” and it’s completely fair to do a side-by-side analysis. “Dreamgirls” is a more traditional musical: people burst into song when spoken words can no longer sufficiently convey the emotion. In “Sparkle,” the characters are singing because they are performing, rehearsing, worshipping or trying to win a record deal. It is a distinction worth making — “Sparkle” seems to exist in a real place, whereas “Dreamgirls” occupies one idealized for musical theater. And while both films still heavily reference the Supremes, Sister & the Sisters actually live in a world where the Supremes thrive and dominate, while the Dreamettes from “Dreamgirls” are a fictionalized version of Diana Ross, Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson.

Inevitably, one of the key reasons people will queue up is to watch and hear Houston one last time, but the Akils supply many reasons for seeing “Sparkle,” not the least of which are the performances by Ejogo, Epps and a cameo appearance by Cee Lo Green. It is a rare remake that justifies its existence by improving nearly every aspect of the original story.

‘DA RK S I DE RS 2’

Death takes a holiday in ‘Darksiders II’

W

e all know the apocalypse is nigh. Surely you’ve heard about the Mayan calendar coming to an end in December. Perhaps you’ve seen the political ads promising Armageddon if you vote for the wrong guy. Maybe you’re stuck without air conditioning in 100-degree heat and just wish we’d get it all over with.

In “Darksiders II” (THQ, for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, $59.99; PC, $49.99), humanity has already been extinguished. The question is: What next?

The protagonist is one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse — specifically, Death, who you’d think would be a little happier about all the chaos that’s been unleashed.

But he’s more concerned with restoring the reputation of his brother, War, who was unjustly blamed for the global massacre in 2010’s “Darksiders.”

Part of Death’s penance involves freeing millions of human souls from limbo.

But there are hundreds of demons standing in his way, as well as one primal force, Corruption, who’s wreaking havoc across Heaven, Hell and a now zombie-infested Earth.

Despite the Biblical underpinnings, you don’t need a religious studies degree to enjoy “Darksiders II,” which unashamedly draws inspiration from the Book of Revelation and gallops away with it. (On a horse named Despair, no less.) And despite the grim subject matter, it’s almost gleeful, with vivid character design, lively animation and a wicked sense of humor.

The first “Darksiders” was unfairly dismissed by some critics as a “Legend

of Zelda” clone, thanks to its emphasis on puzzle-filled dungeons. They’re still a huge part of the sequel — if anything, developer Vigil Games has doubled down on them — and they’re still delightful. Filled with devious traps and devices, these three-dimensional mazes demand brains as well as reflexes to survive, and there are a few puzzles that will make you feel really smart when you solve them.

So the “Zelda” influence remains, but “Darksiders II” incorporates elements of at least a dozen other games, including “Prince of Persia,” ‘’God of War,” ‘’Shadow of the Colossus,” ‘’Portal,” ‘’Ratchet & Clank” and even “Call of Duty.” It’s like a greatest-hits anthology of the last decade in video-game design. And as a whole, it’s more rewarding than the latest installments in most of the above-mentioned franchises.

Vigil has also beefed up the role-playing elements, so every monster Death kills contributes to the evolution of his powers. You can upgrade skills in two categories: Harbinger, which boosts Death’s offensive might, and Necromancer, which lets him summon ghouls and crows to peck away at his enemies.

Every kill also contributes to a meter; when that fills up, Death can briefly transform into an all-powerful Reaper.

Death’s primary weapon is a scythe that splits in two during combat. He’s always equipped with a backup as well — perhaps something slow and brutal, like an ax or hammer, or something faster but less effective, like claws or knives. New, more powerful weapons and armor are stashed away in every dungeon, so fans of loot-collecting epics like “Diablo” will be satisfied. You can easily switch between weapons and call up spells during combat, which is smooth and fast-moving.

There were some glitches in the Xbox 360 version I played. In a few cases, Death got stuck behind a rock or just froze altogether, and I had to reboot.

But those are minor flaws in a game as sprawling and ambitious as “Darksiders II,” the most morbidly amusing game I’ve played this year. Four stars out of four.

‘N E W S U P E R M A RI O BROS . 2’

Mario’s latest gold rush does not pan out

W

henever videogame companies stretch out popular franchises for financial reasons rather than creative ones, disenchanted customers call it a “money grab.” It’s a charge Nintendo has largely been immune to, even though its most popular character, Mario, has starred in hundreds of games.

That changes with “New Super Mario Bros. 2” (Nintendo, for the 3DS, $39.99), which takes the whole money-grab concept quite literally.

The whole point of the game is to grab money — namely, the sparkling gold coins that have littered almost every Mario release since the mid-1980s.

It’s an oddly mercenary approach to Nintendo’s lovable little plumber, and the result is one of the least inspired outings in his storied history.

That’s not to say this is a bad game. It’s exactly what you would expect: a collection of cleverly designed, two-dimensional environments for Mario to scamper through, dodging monsters and collecting treasures. The usual power-ups — flowers that let Mario shoot fireballs, a raccoon suit that lets him jump farther — are available in convenient locations. And most of the levels include alternate pathways, so there’s motivation to return after you’ve conquered them.

But while I enjoyed my time in Mario’s latest world, I couldn’t help feeling like I’d been there before. The major new power-up is a golden block that screws onto Mario’s head, creating a trail of coins. The familiar POW blocks now turn obstacles into, well, coins. And hoops scattered across the skies deliver ... more coins. Some sort of prize awaits if you collect 1 million of the things, but I only made it to

10,000.

And then there’s Coin Rush, in which Mario has one life with which to race through three randomly chosen levels, collecting as much gold as possible. You can then challenge other humans to beat your score using the 3DS’ StreetPass function. There’s also a multiplayer mode in which Mario and his brother, Luigi, collaborate to collect double the loot. Both players need a 3DS and a copy of the game, and you need to be in the same room to team up.

Despite the “New” in its title, the latest Mario game is more of a look back to the 1980s, when we were all enjoying his antics on the original Nintendo Entertainment System. Nostalgia aside, it just doesn’t offer the innovations and rewards of last fall’s “Super Mario 3D Land.” Two stars out of four.

The release of “NSMB2” coincides with the arrival of Nintendo’s newest hand-held game device: the 3DS XL ($200), an extra-large version of the 3DS machine introduced last year. So you get your dual screens — one a touch screen, the other a three-dimensional graphics display — but they’re both about 90 percent larger.

That’s a huge difference to a gamer like me with vision problems. My eyes usually get tired after about 10 minutes of looking at the original model’s 3.53-inchdiagonal 3-D display. The XL’s 4.88-inch screen means I don’t need to squint as much, so I can play for about half an hour without needing a break. As a game reviewer, that’s a blessing when I’m facing a deadline, but I think you civilians will like it, too.

The entire package is still reasonably compact, fitting into an adult-size jeans pocket — though not exactly comfortably. If you resisted the 3DS when it came out last year, now’s a good time to give it a second look.

But on Sunday night, hundreds of fans turned out at Harkins Bricktown Theatres to greet No. 35 as he made his movie debut in “Thunderstruck,” and Durant was happy that the enthusiasm for his work extended beyond the court.

“It was good — it was a nice turnout,” Durant said, smiling and leaning back in his chair during a one-on-one interview at Dallas' Ritz-Carlton Hotel the following Tuesday. “Everyone came out and supported it, and that was the best part for me. I had my family there, my friends and all the fans in OKC, the coaches. It was beautiful to see the support and love. It means a lot.”

That enthusiasm was shared by Durant's mother, Wanda Pratt, who makes a cameo appearance as herself and received a huge ovation from the audience Sunday. When she heard the clapping, it made her feel good about not only her son's first movie role, but her own.

“Kevin was a natural," Pratt said of her son's performance. “When I saw the movie, it was all too real for me: This was my son in a major motion picture, starring him as himself.

“It made me want to cry,” said Pratt, who said she cried at the London Summer Olympics when Durant won a gold medal and set a record for the number of points scored in an Olympic basketball tournament.

MAKING A MOVE “Thunderstruck” is a light comedy about 14-yearold Brian Newall (Taylor Gray), an uncoordinated towel boy at a fictional Oklahoma City high school.

Brian has dreams of basketball greatness but cannot sink a shot to save his life. Then, when the teenager meets Durant at a Thunder game, a little movie magic takes place. Suddenly, in a reversal of fortunes, Brian has the skills to start for his Eastview High School Eagles, and Durant is throwing nothing but bricks.

In the beginning, “Thunderstruck” was not a slam dunk for Durant — he balked at first, mainly because of his tight training schedule. The film would

LOOKATOKC.COM

require him to relocate for several days of shooting in Baton Rouge, La., which would take Durant out of his element for longer than usual.

“My agent at the time brought it to me and I said ‘No’ at first. I didn't want to be a part of something like that because it takes so long,” he said. "But then I thought about it and said, ‘It will be cool and it will be something for the kids to watch.’ I've got a lot of little cousins, so I thought it'd be nice for them to see their big cousin in a movie. So I thought, ‘Let's do it.’”

COV E R STO RY shoot. Durant said he was able to spend most of his time in or near a gym, so he stayed in shape and kept up his game while the often tedious process of setting up shots took place in the background.

“You would film something for 20 minutes, and then you'd wait an hour for them to switch it up with different angles and take the same thing over again,” Durant said. “It's a long process, so I was asking questions of the director and the ADs (assistant directors) about the movies they've been a part of. One of the guys I became close with, his name is Marty (Eli Schwartz). He was the first AD, and he did ‘The Karate Kid’ (the 2010 remake with Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan). I asked him how long he was on set for that, and he said six months. I was only on set for a week and a half, so I have new respect for actors and actresses.

They really work hard to make a good movie.”

LEARNING CURVE Durant worked with an on-set acting coach, Richard Lawson, an actor and scene-study teacher with a 40-year career in film and television. Durant said Lawson told him to be himself and not overthink the performance.

“He gave me room to mess up and said it was natural, and I just became comfortable after a while,” Durant said. "That was the easiest thing I could do.”

When he was still a teenager and building his skills, the movies Durant watched in between games with the PG Jaguars in Prince George's County, Md., almost invariably centered on basketball. “Hoosiers,” “Coach Carter,” “Above the Rim” and “Space Jam” helped inspire him to greatness, he said.

Many basketball players have taken the plunge into movies, including Michael Jordan,

Take your kids to see it and go into it with an open mind. I know I’m a basketball player, and I know they’re probably not used to seeing basketball players in films, but go into it with an open mind, and you’ll enjoy it.”

Shaquille O'Neal (who makes an appearance in “Thunderstruck”), and the Miami Heat's Ray Allen, but Durant chose not to ask any advice from those players-turned-actors.

“It's not because I think I know it all,” Durant said.

“But I do like to go through things like this on my own, and I'm the type of guy who likes being surprised a little bit when I'm facing something new.”

CREATIVE SIDE Beyond “Thunderstruck,” Durant is taking on another art form, one he has pursued quietly but that will soon get more attention. He will make his rapping debut on a new hip-hop album by Stephen Jackson of the San Antonio Spurs, who records under the name Stak5 and released a mixtape titled

“What's a Lockout?” in 2011.

“Yeah, I'm going to be on his album — we made a song together, and I hope people enjoy that,” Durant said. “We're going to do a video for it, too. I'm really involved in music, and I like it a lot. It's one of those things I do in my off time, so I'm not just a basketball player.”

Durant has a recording studio in his Oklahoma City home, where he creates his own beats and records, as well as inviting local hip-hop stars such as Josh Sallee in for freestyle sessions.

His major inspirations include Jay-Z, Drake and the late Aaliyah, stars who started early and built careers from the ground up. Durant, 23, said that is one of the biggest commonalities between basketball and hip-hop: Both art forms are populated by self-starters who developed their passions for their respective

pursuits during childhood.

“I heard a rapper say, 'Basketball players want to be rappers and rappers want to be basketball players,' and it's true, you know what I mean?” Durant said.

“We respect each other's crafts, and I'm just trying to do it as a hobby for now.”

And so far, acting is still a sideline pursuit. Durant said he is happy with “Thunderstruck” and appreciates the local support, but emphasizes that while he is on top of one game, he is new to this one.

“It's a fun movie,” Durant said. “Take your kids to see it and go into it with an open mind. I know I'm a basketball player, and I know they're probably not used to seeing basketball players in films, but go into it with an open mind, and you'll enjoy it.”

Fall brings so many choices, including leather, reptile prints, winter white, peplums, oxblood, lace, menswear and military touches, gold and a nod to Kate Middleton’s clean and tailored style.

L E A R N T O L OV E L E AT H E R “I am in love with leather for fall,” Crawford said.

“Whether you go all out or just add a touch, leather adds a power-packed punch to any outfit.

“Leather and especially faux leather have come a long way from the tough biker jackets. Today, faux leather is much more realistic, and even real leather has a lot more options with a suppleness that allows for feminine silhouettes and is wearable by all.”

Not sure about a leather skirt or dress? Try a highwaisted skirt with a leather band at the hem.

“I love the contradiction of textile and design with this combo — feminine, girlie, toughie and biker all mixed together,” Crawford said. “Pull it off by adding a pop of color and a classic trench with complementing sueded texture. Can you say bombshell?”

M I X I N G A N D M AT C H I N G Each season brings the opportunity to look at clothes in a new way, and this fall is no different.

“I am all about the subtle flirtation of refined classic shapes mixed up with new textures and colors,” Crawford said.

Lace may seem sweet, but mold it into a black pencil skirt enhanced against a nude backdrop, and that skirt has gone from sweet and demure to sexy.

“The trend of restraint dressing in this manner turns primness into an aura of sexiness with deeply textured fabrics and slim silhouettes that show off a woman’s curves without showing an inch of skin,” she said.

COLORS AND TEXTURES Eden Turrentine, manager of Liberte at Classen Curve, said she thinks women will enjoy the touches of leather and lace, as well as the season’s hot color, oxblood.

ABOVE: Models Brooke and Claire wear a gray pantsuit with removable faux fur collar and textured dress with matching jacket. Both are by Theory and available at CK & Co.

“Everyone needs something oxblood in their wardrobe,” she said. “I think it’s a reasonable color that all ages can wear.”

Oxblood or burgundy has a luxurious, glamorous feel to it, she said, making it a pretty complement for many of the season’s offerings, including gold, a strong look in both clothing and accessories such as brooches.

“A brooch is very ladylike,” Turrentine said. “It’s a pretty choice beyond a new pair of earrings or necklace. I think it’s fresh.”

n its third year, Simply Falafel, 343 S Blackwelder, has added a third partner, bringing a wealth of experience to a little cafe with a large reputation for good food.

Inside a strip wedged between Target, the University of Central Oklahoma and enough traffic to warrant a control tower, Simply Falafel has gradually become a local favorite with its foods made fresh daily and a delightful selection of dessert.

The newest partner is Magid Assaleh, who bought into the locally owned cafe back in June.

Assaleh moved to Oklahoma in 1979 at age 28. The native of Qunaitra, Syria, People found work asked me at legendall the time when ary Eddy’s Steakhouse I would open my — first own restaurant, washing and I would tell dishes, then them ‘when I’m waiting ready.’ “Now, I’m tables and ready.” finally as maitre d’ in — Magid Assaleh the bar.

Thus began three decades in the hospitality industry that took him through restaurants and country clubs, including Quail Creek Country Club and Oakwood in Enid.

“People asked me all the time when I would open my own restaurant, and I would tell them ‘when I’m ready,” he said. “Now, I’m ready.”

But the good news was he didn’t have to do it alone. In fact, he partnered with Moe Chahcoi, longtime owner of Saffron Grill in 50 Penn Place, and Chuck Miller, who’d opened Simply Falafel in 2010.

Simply Falafel already had built a reliable reputation, so Assaleh’s biggest contribution has been passion, a deep understanding of hospitality and some ideas for the menu.

In the burgeoning restaurant landscape, gone are the days where the majority of places used the same dry mix and called it falafel. Diners now can to travel to different parts of the metro and find ethnic foods with unique recipes.

Nowadays, you can find plenty to love about the different falafel recipes from Mediterranean Deli, Gyros Etc., Nunu’s Mediterranean Cafe, Zorba’s and Couscous Cafe, to name just a few.

At Simply Falafel, the namesake dish comes on either a sandwich or as an appetizer, on a platter with pita, rice and choice of salad. You also can order kafta (a

Mezzes, or starters, are Mediterranean standards, including hummus, tabbouleh and baba ghannouj. In English, that’s chickpea and sesame paste dip, a grain and parsley salad, and a roasted eggplant and sesame paste dip.

While it doesn’t take an adventurous palate to enjoy these Mediterranean staples, for those who fear new horizons, choose from grilled chicken, lamb burger or

black Angus burger.

The fattoush salad I tried was delicious. Seasoned with zatar and sumac and topped with crispy pita bits, the lemon vinaigrette was just right.

Assaleh said everything is made fresh from scratch daily.

That includes an array of desserts not seen at many Mediterranean restaurants. Besides the typical baklava, Simply Falafel also serves knafeh, an orangecolored pastry stuffed with mild cheese, and knafeh bi jiban, a variant of the same dish topped with shredded phyllo strands. The mild cheese is balanced by ultrasweet syrup. Other desserts include namoura, a semolina-based, almond-topped sweet bread, plus a selection of cakes and phyllo turnovers.
