MOVIE REVIEW: Samuel highlights a 2013 futuristic sci-fi thriller that slipped through the SNOWPIERCER cracks at the time and is now viewed as one of the most underrated films of Samuel Cox

the last few years. Looking past the hype, this is an honest review of a movie that has been heralded as so underrated that now it just might be overrated.

roots and new album.

I struggle with firsts.

When I was in middle school, my family planned a weekend excursion to the ski slopes of Northern Illinois. After skiing with my parents for a few minutes, I decided to try it solo for the first time. Low elevation and slight incline notwithstanding, I fell almost instantly and slid off of the trail itself, quickly moving beyond the realm of artificial snow and into a mound of (very real) mud. I then proceeded to spendâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not exaggerating hereâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;45 minutes army crawling back up the hill, skis clamped to my boots all the while.

I encountered my first pop quiz in a high school physics class. I think the quiz was covering basic circuits, although my memory of the material is fuzzy at best. What I do remember is when my paper was returned to me, bearing the red-inked grade of 4/30 (an impressive 13 percent).

I even managed to muddle my first loose tooth. I was four years old and in a coffee shop with my dad, eating a blueberry muffin with a fork. Overcome with a sugar-rush of excitement, I lifted the fork a bit too aggressively and knocked my front tooth with such force that it began to wiggle.

In a weird, coming-full-circle coincidence, the first article I ever wrote for buzz was about the Boneyard Arts Festival. I spent an afternoon nervously drafting interview questions and then ventured to indi go to speak with the curator of an exhibition installed there. All was going well until my recorder unexpectedly died halfway through the interview; the majority of our discussion was erased.

Now, I find myself here, in an unfamiliar part of the magazine: another first. A proper introduction would probably be more appropriate than a list of mistakes and embarrassments, soâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;hi. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Anwen.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a junior in English and Sociology. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m from Urbana. I like books by Margaret Atwood, oversized coffee mugs and the peanut butter milkshakes they sell at the Courier. I started writing for buzz when I was a freshman and was lucky enough to work for two brilliant individuals as A&E editor this past year.

I struggle with firstsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but I get better.

Since the incidents outlined above, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve become a component skier, learned how to properly use cutlery and successfully conducted a few interviews (though there was never much progress on the physics terrain). Bear with me for these next few weeks; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get the hang of this, too.

EGG HUNTS FOR ONE, EGG HUNTS FOR ALL EMILY SCOTT If you’re looking to revisit your childhood this Easter season, the Champaign Park District has got you covered with three different egg hunts for children and adults alike.

One option will be the 25th Annual Egg Hunt Eggstravaganza at West Side Park from 11 am to 1 pm on April 4, with free hayrack rides being held from 10 to 10:45 am. The event is free for children ages 10 and under.

For a “good, old-fashioned” free egg hunt as well as face painting and inflatables, children ages 1 to 13 can head to Douglass Park for Eggs-Ploration! on April 4, from 11:30 am to 1 pm.

And, for any egg-hunting enthusiasts who don’t fall under the typical age limits, the Nite Lite Egg Pursuit XXII will be on April 3, from 8 to 10 pm at Hessel Park, for ages 18 and up.

These eggs won’t be filled with candy; instead, they will contain prizes—three will have special prize packages. The cost is $10, and a flashlight will come in handy.

And no matter the egg hunt you decide to attend, be sure to bring your basket!

Over spring break I went to a local show in my hometown for the first time since I started college. A band my buddy was in was breaking up, and I wanted to be there to see their last show even if I hadn’t been involved in the scene for a few years. I have great memories of the venue: my high-school band had played a bunch of shows there over the years, and whether the room was full or we were playing to three people (which happened a lot), it was always a great time because everyone knew each other, it was like a big pop-punk community party. Going back to that environment was super nostalgic, and it was really cool to see a bunch of 16 year old kids in bands I’d never heard of playing their hearts out. I may not be a part of the scene anymore, but it was great to go back after so long and see that it was alive and well.

MONDAY NIGHT MASTERPIECES

THE

French Laundry, Eleven Madison Park, Babbo and Le Bernardin are meccas of gastronomy in the United States, restaurants where you generally need to hope (and maybe pray) to snag a reservation and taste some of the most exciting and important cuisine the world over. Keller, Humm, Batali and Ripert are not just the names that make “foodies” and gastronomes squeal with delight, they’re visionaries—chefs’ chefs—whose creativity and thinking send ripples through each and every kitchen lucky enough to see or taste or read about their dishes.

One such kitchen is bacaro, CU’s own fine dining gem, who have been honoring these and other, similarly influential, chefs with a series of special $50 Market Monday dinners. While the weekly Market Monday offerings usually offer a loosely themed menu built around fresh produce from local farmer’s markets, this luxurious series brings a five course taste of these prestigious, legendary kitchens to anyone willing to take the trek over to downtown Champaign on a Monday night.

The second offering in the culinary mentors series, bacaro’s take on Eleven Madison Park might not have embraced the same, exacting modernist molecular techniques that make the number four spot on San Pellegrino’s “World’s 50 Best Restaurants” list so special but still mingled loads of flavor with unique platings and presentations.

To begin bacaro’s foray into Daniel Humm’s acclaimed cuisine, smoked sturgeon with sturgeon caviar, dill cream cheese, romaine lettuce and—most delightedly—“everything bagel crumble.” As far as deconstructing and reinterpreting the classic lox and bagels goes, the dish was spot on. Not only did chef Morrow’s take offer a composed, delicious bite, but the “everything bagel crumble” packed loads and loads of vibrant, familiar flavor into the most miniscule of packages.

An excellent chicken veloute (with house made brioche and black truffle butter) and ricotta gnocchi (with smoked pork and cauliflower cream) both thrilled, but the star of the bacaro’s Eleven Madison Park menu—without a doubt—was a goliath chunk of braised pork shoulder flanked by confit potatoes, mushrooms, sauerkraut and white apple puree. Tender, juicy and brilliantly charred, the shoulder was a true treat and exactly the sort of dish one wishes wasn’t for one night only. A black and

white shortbread cookie with decadent malted milk sorbet provided a fittingly sweet finish for a truly great menu. bacaro’s Babbo & Po menu, offered the week following the Eleven Madison Park offering, did not simply take its inspiration from two of Mario Batali’s signature New York restaurants, but from chef Thad Morrow’s own experience interning under Croc-clad master—a connection highlighted by Batali advertising the special menu on Facebook.

The advertisement from the man himself, in this case, almost didn’t do justice to how great and classically Italian bacaro’s homage to Batali was. The first dish, cool roasted mushrooms with barbequed onions and basil oil, provided a light, tangy and texturally impressive start to proceedings. Next came seafood; in this case, braised octopus “Sicilian lifeguard style” alongside fried pink shrimp and tomato

sauce. Traditionally thrown on the grill and retaining some of its chew, the octopus was unspeakably tender and a real delight when paired with the sauce.

No proper homage to Mario Batali could be devoid of a pasta course, and the Babbo & Po menu delivered exactly the right notes. Fresh black pepper gnocchi joined with oxtail ragu, argula and grated Parmigiano reggiano to make a vibrant, layered bowl of pasta worthy of the Italian master. The last savory course, a beautiful wild striped bass with charred leeks and squid ink vinaigrette was a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach, confirming Chef Morrow’s longstanding excellence at cooking fish. Dessert was simple and good: castagnaccio with rosemary and honey syrup that was well worth scraping every morsel off the plate. bacaro’s Market Monday offerings have always been excellent—and always worth the

trip downtown—but the culinary mentors series has been truly exceptional. Beyond any of the prestige of the restaurants being featured, the set of menus is a statement as to who and what inspires the team in the kitchen—and if any chef is good enough to inspire them, their homage can only be superlative.

Bacaro is located at 113 N. Walnut St. in Champaign. More information on their weekly Market Monday series can be found at http://bacarowinelounge.com/menu or follow the restaurant on Facebook at http://facebook.com/bacarowinelounge.

WITH

Coachella on the horizon and iPad commercials on the air, The Orwells are making more of a name for themselves while still staying true to their roots.

They can causally play a tour in Europe and then come home to play a friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house show. buzz sat down with Matt Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe of The Orwells to chat about the Elmhurst bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s DIY roots, recent successes and their upcoming low-key Urbana house show. buzzÂť The last time I saw you guys was in a friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basement in Elmhurst. Now, you guys have over a million hits on YouTube. Have you noticed a change in your musical career after the iPad commercial?

Matt Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;KeefeÂť Not really; just more people have heard that song. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made some new friends.

For the most part, no, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a career-changing thing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just something that happened. buzzÂť Did Apple contact you guys for that commercial?

MOÂť They contacted us. The person in charge asked us while were were in France or something.

Then we had to cancel one show to go to London to record in a weird little venue. It all happened within a week. buzzÂť It seems like you are constantly playing shows. Do you guys ever get sick of each other?

MOÂť Yeah. Last year, in 2014, we were touring a

lot. This year has been kind of quiet. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to focus. We were with each other 24/7, so naturally, you get sick of each other. buzzÂť What is the music making dynamic like within the group?

MOÂť Me or Dominic will have a chord change to the song. Then we will all get together and work it out from there. We make rhythms and get the core of the song, and then everyone adds their flavor. buzzÂť Do you guys typically write at home or on the road?

MOÂť Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bad at writing on the road. We write all the songs at home, and record like 30 demos and practice in my basement. We record shitty versions in Elmhurst, then take it to the studio. buzzÂť Where is your studio?

MOÂť We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a specific studio. We are looking to record downtown. The last album we recorded in London and Los Angeles. It was a lot of travellingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it was hard to stay focused. The studio changes, so the final product is always up in the air. buzzÂť Do you think your sound changes throughout the recording process?

MOÂť Yeah, there are more instruments lying around in the studio. Sometimes, we want to add instruments, then realize the songs are way too crowded. The best part of the studio is that it makes the album sound more con-

nected. The same tones and sounds go into the final product. buzzÂť So there are instruments lying around in the studio?

MOÂť Yeah, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a bunch of guitars and amps. There are organs and pianos, which is something we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have in Elmhurst. buzzÂť Have you guys ever used an organ?

MOÂť Yeah! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty subtle, just there to fill out space. buzzÂť Have you used music youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve written back in high school?

MOÂť â&#x20AC;?The Righteous Oneâ&#x20AC;? was written sophomore year of high school. Once we went back to it, it turned into a whole new song. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only song that that has happened to. buzzÂť The Orwells started off as a DIY band. Do you think a band can stay DIY after so much success?

MOÂť Not like what we were when we were forced to be DIY. Now, we have to find a balance. There is no way we could book shows in different countries. It would be way too difficult. We have people to book shows and do tours. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reach as many people when you are DIY. Whatever it may, you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to reach as many people. We try to find a balance; we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to lose the aspect of booking shows.

MOÂť We just did one downtown at Schubas where we played under a secret name. Dominic booked it through the kid who is throwing the show. It came about by knowing people.

KELLY EDDINGTON: BEHIND THE BONEYARD ARTS FESTIVALâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S SIGNATURE IMAGE

EX]] JHWV WR NQRZ WKH DUWLVW RI ´3RS ¾ WKH VLJQDWXUH LPDJH DW WKH %RQH\DUG $UWV )HVWLYDO

BY SHIVANI DHARMASANKAR The Champaign-Urbana community hosts a wide variety of events to entertain and educate its inhabitants. Past music festivals, farmers markets and museum exhibitions have enriched the lives of students and family, and the upcoming month of April promises to do the same through the Boneyard Arts Festival. This year marks the 13th anniversary of this festival, which has become an annual occurrence.

The Boneyard Arts Festival represents artists of many mediums, including painting, photography and music. Due to the extensive, creatively rich pool of participating artists, 40 North (the arts council in charge of the festival) has a difficult time deciding upon the signature image for the festival.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature image is Pop, a painting created by watercolorist Kelly Eddington. From the age of 14, Eddington displayed an interest and passion for realism, often spending a large portion of her day in her high schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art room. Given her talent and the large scale of the festival that she is participating in, it is only fitting to learn more about the artist behind the signature image. buzzÂť Can you tell us more about Pop? Kelly EddingtonÂť I was very happy when I learned that Pop had been selected as Boneyardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature image this year. When I paint something shiny or sparkly with watercolor, my viewers seem to think something magical is going on, and they always want to know how I did it. So I like to challenge myself with still life compositions that include lots of shine. Pop features sixteen gumballs on a piece of aluminum foil. I liked how the gumballs reflected my lighting equipment and the colors of their neighbors, and watercolor is uniquely suited to achieve that effect. I found the foil particularly rewardingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I formed it into little nests to keep the gumballs from rolling around, but it quickly became my favorite part, providing bonus areas of pure abstraction and even more reflection and shine.

Pop is one of my most cheerful watercolors. I painted it during a stressful period where I found myself reaching for bright colors again and again.

The pinks and reds were almost medicinal. The repetition of the round shapes comforted me, and it was soothing to be in control of these colorful little worlds during a chaotic period that was thankfully brief. buzzÂť Have you ever presented work at the Boneyard Arts Festival before? If so, what was the experience like?

6 buzz April 3-9, 2015

KEÂť Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve shown work at four different venues before, including the Urbana Business Association, and each one presented a unique challenge. Trying to figure out ways to hang paintings in spaces that have limited wall space...well, that forces you to do some creative problem solving. Everyone Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked with has been unfailingly adaptable and appreciative. Boneyard transforms so many parts of Champaign County. For most artists, the weekend seems to blow by very quickly, and I always wish it could last longer than a few days! buzzÂť Can you describe the works that will be showcased at the festival?

KEÂť I paint portraits and close-ups from nature but, for my little show at the Champaign County Convention and Visitors Bureau, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll display still life paintings featuring lots of shine and reflections.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve explored a lot over the past five years. My subjects will include jewelry, glass gems (used in floral arrangements or aquariums), metallic bows, marbles, a collection of Andy Warhol pins and gum balls, of course. buzzÂť What are some pieces that will be showcased that are most meaningful to you?

KEÂť Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to include a small self-portrait called She Is One of Us among the still life paintings. In this painting, I am reading to my baby niece, Belle. buzzÂť What was the inspiration for those pieces?

KEÂť Belle is the most beautiful baby Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever seen (after her mother), but during her first few months of life, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of all she was: an adorable little creature. But her personality really started to emerge when she was four months-old. I snuggled up beside her on the floor, held a book above us so she could see the pictures and she was transfixed. She stayed that way as I continued to read three more books to her, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when I knew that Belle was going to be part of the tribe of Eddington Readers. And this became a painting that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll always treasure. buzzÂť What other festivals have you presented at?

KEÂť I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really take part in other festivals, but I do enter as many competitions and juried exhibitions as I can afford. Entry fees and shipping costs add up in a hurry. Recently Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve shown my work at the Illinois Watercolor Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national exhibition, Missouriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Watercolor International and Quincyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Quad-State Biennial. One of my paintings was accepted for the upcoming Splash 16: Exploring Texture, which is an annual international competition that culminates in the publication of a book. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had the extreme good fortune of being invited to display my work in one-person shows across the

region, including the Decatur Area Arts Council, Jacksonvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Strawn Art Gallery, Culver-Stockton College and Quincy University. buzzÂť What artists inspire you?

KEÂť I was an Art History minor so I have so many, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the crazy person in the museum who stands in front of paintings with tears running down her face. Artists who have made me weep include Giotto, Masaccio, Rembrandt, Goya, Durer, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Rembrandt, Hopper, Warhol, Vermeer, Picasso, Rothko, Bellini and de Kooning.

But, and not to sound too precious about this, my biggest inspiration is nature. The colors and shapes I see in this most boring of landscapes blow my mind sometimes. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll gasp at a stubbly, harvested cornfield in afternoon light. Or swirly snow drifts by the side of a ditch after a blizzard: There is no better sculptor than the wind. Color combinations you see on birds, shapes created by wilting flowersâ&#x20AC;Ś I feel like I must annoy my husband whenever we take a walk in the fall because I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see a red tree without pointing it out to him. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of a problem.

KEÂť Before I began painting full-time, I was a high school art teacher for 17 years. I taught at Oregon High School in Northern Illinois and Unity High School here in Champaign County. Art teachers are trained to be proficient in all mediums, or at least as many as possible, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done everything from painting, drawing and sculpture to advertising design, calligraphy and even basket weaving. But watercolor has always been my first love. buzzÂť What other creative mediums do you use?

KEÂť Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mostly just watercolor now, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do the occasional pencil or ink drawing. My secondary creative outlet is my YouTube channel. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called

Art Food Kitty, and I demonstrate watercolor techniques and narrate my painting process (along with the occasional recipe and cameo appearances by my cats). The channel has nearly 90,000 subscribers and over four and a half million views, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where I earn the bulk of my income. I spend a lot of time promoting my work online through any number of social media and crowd-funding outlets including Patreon. I also work as an illustrator and writer for @U2, which was named â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best Music Fan Siteâ&#x20AC;? by Entertainment Weekly. buzzÂť What is it about watercolors that you find so appealing?

KEÂť Absolutely everything. I love how simple and inexpensive the supplies are: a piece of paper, tape to attach it to a board, about a dozen colors, a few brushes and a cup of water. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need special equipment like a printing press or a kiln. The paint itself looks delicious. I love the way watercolor paper smells when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wet. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent any time painting with watercolors, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll notice that all other kinds of paint seem ridiculously goopy and sticky. More than anything else, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m fascinated with the way the paint flows and blooms over a wet surface. I try to harness it and make it do what I want and, I think I have fair amount of control over it, but ultimately watercolor is full of beautiful and challenging surprises. buzzÂť You went to U of I. Can you tell us about places you visited on campus or the subjects that you would paint?

KEÂť I lived at Sherman Hall in a tiny dorm room and, during those years I worked on brightly-colored, miniature abstract paintings. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to use a special studio spaceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;my desk was sufficient.

I walked from Sherman Hall to the Art + Design building many, many times and, since I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a car, I took the bus many, many times. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m from a tiny town in Western Illinois and, the University of Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s size overwhelmed me at first, but I eventually found places in campus town that I loved. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drink coffee because even a little bit of caffeine makes painting precise lines difficult, so I became addicted to the orange juice at Espresso Royale. I lived at Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rentertainment, Record Swap and Record Service... I was so sad when I returned to the area in 2004 and discovered that Record Service had closed its doors. They had posted a sign that said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can compete with big box stores, but we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compete with free.â&#x20AC;?

MINDFUL MEDITATION: FROM THORNS TO FLOWERS 6SXUORFN 0XVHXP RIIHUV IUHH PHGLDWLRQ VHVVLRQV HYHU\ )ULGD\ NATALIE DURST

Spurlock Museum. Photo by Sean O'Connor

A HUGE

stressor for college students can stem from upcoming exams or papers. With the end of the semester quickly approaching, the anxiety is beginning to bud like the springtime flowers. However, unlike the spring flowers, stress is far from beautiful and acts as the thorn in our sides that never goes away. One way to pluck this thorn from our sides is to relax.

Some people may say that this is far easier said than done, but Mindful Meditation at the Spurlock Museum is the perfect garden tool.

These free meditation sessions are a great resource when trying to get rid of stress because instead of focusing on all of the things that are bogging us down, meditation relieves those distractions. From 11:30-12 p.m. each Friday until May 8, you can take a break from the heavy workload and come clear your mind with free meditation sessions at the Spurlock Museum.

Since 2012, the Mindful Meditation sessions have found a home in Spurlock. When asked about how these sessions came to be, Brook

Taylor, the Education Program Coordinator at the Spurlock Museum, recalled her own meditation experience as a reason she wanted meditation sessions at the museum to begin.

“I had been hearing that meditation could be a very simple, helpful tool in people’s lives, so I tried it out. It really was simple, and it felt neat to be doing it in a museum,” Taylor said. “The person leading the program had us focus on breathing and how to deal with thoughts that came into our heads.”

Taylor was inspired by the museum walls, and decided to bring it back here to Spurlock Museum, so students could participate in a simple meditation. Not only is this a great and easy way for students to become familiar with better methods of concentration, but it’s an opportunity that has no restrictions.

“We offer this as a free drop-in program—no registration needed, no experience needed,” Taylor said.

For students, anxiety can get in the way of studies. Always being worried about the next exam or paper, and then worrying about the

grade that the teacher will give: It seems neverending. However, meditation could be the answer to these problems. According to a UCLA study reported by Psychology Today, “researchers used high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging to scan the brains of a group of subjects who were long-time meditators. They found that these individuals’ brains were larger than their non-meditating counterparts.” This means that meditating could help make people smarter.

Therefore, if somebody is worried about the next assignment that they have, meditating might just be the key to helping perform better.

Spurlock Museum gives the perfect opportunity to get involved with meditation, on campus. The Mindful Meditation sessions are hosted by Mary Wolters, an instructor from Green Yoga Spa in Urbana, and last 30 minutes each week. Wolters has been teaching yoga since 2001 and is a certified massage therapist. With her instruction, students will soon see the benefits of meditation, such as the calm appreciation of each day.

“Recently, we were contacted by the Wellness office on campus, who thought that a lunchtime time frame could be helpful to the campus community as a resource, so we’ve been doing 11:30 to 12 p.m., for the sessions this school year,” Taylor said.

Specifically catering to the needs of students, these sessions allow university members to take a break if they are overwhelmed. With the weekly meditation time designed to benefit students, the sessions are perfect before the upcoming final exam season that seems to be creeping up on the University quickly.

There’s no registration necessary for these free meditation sessions, and anyone can attend as many or as little sessions as they’d like. Stress is a weight that can bring people down but, after leaving these sessions, they may feel as though the weight has lifted.

MOVIE REVIEW: INSURGENT

7KH ODWHVW <$ ERRN DGDSWDWLRQ WXUQV XS WKH DFWLRQ DQG LPSURYHV XSRQ LWV SUHGHFHVVRU DAVID ROBERTSON

Used with permission from Summit Entertainment

A NEW

season, yet another new young adult book adaptation. Studios have scored with most of the recent dystopian adventures for teens, including The Hunger Games, The Maze Runner and Divergent. Even The Hunger Games sequels have been excellent, so the pressure was on for Lionsgate/Summit Entertainment to deliver a strong follow-up to Divergent. Fans of the book can let out a sigh of relief because Insurgent is a step up from its predecessor, packed with more action, effects and top-tier actors.

Once again set in post-apocalyptic Chicago, the movie follows Tris as she and Four run from the power-hungry Erudite leader Jeanine, who has issued an order to have all Divergent individuals eliminated. While Tris and her loved ones seek shelter

8 buzz April 3-9, 2015

among the different factions —Amity, Candor and Dauntless—and orchestrate an uprising alongside the faction-less, Jeanine is using captive Divergents to unlock an important message passed down from the founding fathers of the city.

The story might sound like mumbo-jumbo to the uninitiated, but those who haven’t read the novel shouldn’t worry because screenwriters Brian Duffield and Akiva Goldsman axe the superfluous subplots of the book and streamline the story for general audiences. Insurgent clocks in at a brisk two hours, so I’m fearful that the next installment, Allegiant, is going to be a bore, as it’s being split into two features.

As was the case with The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Lionsgate/Summit has majorly upped

the production values for this sequel. Grander set pieces and more elaborate visual effects are on hand, and director Robert Schwentke does a skillful job of juggling these aspects with the narrative and character development. The Dauntless simulation that Tris encounters, which involves a floating house burning in flames, is mind-boggling, and Tris’s explosive fight against herself is a cinematic spectacle that must be experienced on the largest screen possible.

The casting directors were smart to bring Academy Award heavyweights Octavia Spencer, Kate Winslet and Naomi Watts into the mix because without their chops, the performances in the movie would likely have been drowned out by the extravagant production values. Shailene Wood-

ley returns as the series’ heroine and once again strikes all of the appropriate emotional chords, but sometimes appears frail and gets overshadowed by the monstrous set pieces during the action sequences. She doesn’t quite have the conviction and action star prowess of a Scarlett Johansson or Jennifer Lawrence.

Insurgent ties up loose ends and answers most of the burning questions it raises, while still offering a cliffhanger that should leave fans excited for the final chapters. This movie is a more of a straightforward sci-fi/action blockbuster, not to mention more farfetched, than Divergent, but stays true to the tone and identity of its predecessor and further proves that this YA series deserves recognition in the post-Harry Potter era.

The Mouse needs to get his f---ing s--- together.

A gem in contemporary horror flicks, director David Robert Mitchell does well in creating a forboding air for viewers. Following a skewed sexual encounter with teenager Jay (Maika Monroe), she begins to feel that something is following her. Potentially a person, perhaps a thing, Jay is unable to distinguish. However, the one thing she’s sure of is the danger she’s now in. How does someone fight what they can’t see? Detailing the gruesome process of trying to outwit that which she can only confirm in an increasingly ominous feeling and violent visions, Jay and her friends must outwit “it."

Mike N Molly’s; $5 Ages 19+
