Take a shine to Dawsonville Festival celebrates

area’s history

From staff reports A large array of antique vendors will gather Oct. 2728 for the Braselton Antique & Holiday Festival in the town’s downtown park.

Antique and collectible dealers, nurseries, crafters, furniture collections, primitives, ironworks, vintage jewelry, pottery, glassware, yard art, soaps and candles, dolls and food items will be showcased from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

Admission and parking are free. Food vendors will offer sandwiches, hot dogs, pretzels and ice cream.

“There is such variety to enjoy, and we’ve assembled the largest group of dealers ever for our festival,” said Donna Cannella, the festival coordinator.

Braselton Park is located at 115 Harrison St. a block from Ga. 53. For more information, visit www. countrysideantiques.net or call 706-824-7204.

By michele hester Times regional staff

Dawsonville’s unique history comes alive this weekend with the 45th annual Mountain Moonshine Festival.

The festivities begin Friday morning with the annual “Moonshine Run” that begins at the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame.

Later that night, the events continue with the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame’s induction ceremony, followed by a classic car cruise-in and live band at the Dawsonville Municipal Complex.

Early the next day, the roar of moonshine-era cars will fill the town as a procession of 1940 Fords line the square and signal the start of the weekend festival, which draws hundreds of vendors from across the Southeast to Dawsonville.

Serving as grand marshal, championship car owner and NASCAR Hall of Famer Bud Moore will lead the parade and announce the festival’s official start about 9 a.m. on the main stage near Dawsonville’s Historic Courthouse.

Live entertainment and a variety of activities will continue throughout the weekend.

One of the most unique fall gatherings in north Georgia, the Mountain Moonshine Festival brings an estimated 100,000 visitors looking for mementos of a bygone era in Georgia history to Dawsonville every year.

Organizers are anticipating an even bigger crowd for the 45th annual Mountain Moonshine Festival in Dawsonville. Festivities begin Friday morning.

Organizers are anticipating an even bigger crowd for the 45th annual event, which raises funds for Dawson County children in need.

“Every year we look for new ways to make the festival more fun for everybody,” said Calvin Byrd, president of K.A.R.E. for Kids, which puts on the festival.

New this year is a free concert Saturday night featuring Feedback and Across the Wide in the Winner’s Circle at the Dawsonville Municipal Complex.

The show starts at 7:30 p.m. and organizers encourage everyone to bring chairs or blankets to enjoy an evening of live entertainment under the stars.

Mountain Moonshine Festival When: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 27-28 Where: Downtown Dawsonville More info: 706-216-5273, www. kareforkids.us, www.dawson.org

Organizers also expect the grand opening of the Dawsonville Moonshine Distillery to be a big draw for this year’s festival.

“They’re in there making legal moonshine right now,” said volunteer Gordon Pirkle. “Now that’s something to see.”

History Center tours ghostly hangouts From staff reports Northeast Georgia History Center’s 10th annual Ghost Walk will spin yarns about ghosts and haunts, but unlike campfire stories, these tales are all true, based on local events, history and legend.

“It’s not a scary walk, but it is eerie,” said Kathy Amos, Brenau University Learning and Leisure Institute director, who helped research the stories.

Last year, hundreds of participants took part in the tour, which meandered from the history center on Academy Street to different stops on the Brenau campus. And investigators with the Southeastern Institute of Paranormal

Research came along, discovering a new haunt in Brenau’s Pearce Auditorium.

“One of the investigators was up on the catwalk over the stage, while the rest of us were outside. She said she heard footsteps on the stage, but when she looked down, no one was there,” Amos said.

Tour guides will lead groups from the center on 322 Academy St. in Gainesville to each of seven story-telling stations where they will learn about the area’s paranormal history.

The tours will leave every 20 minutes — rain or shine — between 6 and 8 p.m.

Friday and Saturday.

Some of the tales featured well-known characters like the storied ladies of the lake

and Agnes, who is said to be Brenau’s resident ghost.

Other stories had less well-known characters, like Dr. Hilbert Tingley, a New York doctor who met an untimely death and somehow ended up in a plot in Alta Vista Cemetery in Gainesville. Although the history center’s staff have pieced together some of Tingley’s puzzle, there are still a lot of unanswered questions.

“The tour will feature old legends as well as newly discovered ones,” said Julie Carson, history center education and volunteer coordinator.

And because some of the stories may be more frightening than others, the tour isn’t recommended for

children younger than 10.

Seven walks per evening will be departing from the History Center at 6, 6:20, 6:40, 7, 7:20, 7:40 and 8 p.m. The tickets, which are still available, are $8 for History Center members and $10 for nonmembers.

Groups are limited to 20 to 25 participants each, so center staff strongly encourage advance reservations. To save your spot, call 770-297-5900 or visit www.negahc.org.

Because the stories include walking and standing for almost two hours, organizers say the Ghost Walk isn’t recommended for participants with mobility issues.

‘Cloud’ a brave effort at complex tale JEFF MARKER jmarker@gsc.edu

Film Review In 1916, D.W. Griffith followed up his racist yet massively successful film “Birth of a Nation” with “Intolerance,” a 3«-hour long epic consisting of four separate stories, each set in a different time and place: ancient Babylon, the time of Christ, France in 1572 and contemporary America.

The only thing that binds the stories is the theme of intolerance, and the structure was completely unprecedented.

Rather than telling each story in its entirety then moving on to the next like an anthology, Griffith intercuts the stories — one scene from one story, then a scene from another story, and so on.

Warner Bros.

During the climactic sequence, Griffith melds the stories even Jim Broadbent, left, and Ben Whislaw in a scene from “Cloud Atlas,” an epic spanning centuries and genres. more intricately, cutting among individual actions within the stories. and Tom Tykwer (“Run Lola stories together, and the movie So bravo to the Wachowskis “Intolerance” is impressive Run”).

than focusing on the philosophy the filmmakers were trying to espouse.

And while the climax of the interweaved stories is moving, the filmmakers then tack on an epilogue for each story, too.

They’re aiming for a powerful final statement, but that power is sapped by redundancy as the same point is made several times.

“Cloud Atlas” is both a great achievement and a confounding movie. It is worth the attention of every serious movie fan, but those fans should expect to walk away divided over the film’s merits.

‘Cloud Atlas’ ■ Review, 10

Continuing

‘Seven Psychopaths’ HH½ (R for strong violence, bloody images, pervasive language, sexuality, nudity and some drug use.) In his second movie, Irish playwright Martin McDonagh has mangled together a comic, self-aware revenge flick that’s half Guy Ritchie, half Charlie Kaufman. It’s manic and messy. But it’s also filled with deranged wit and unpredictable genre deconstruction that make it, if not quite a success, a fascinating mutt of a movie.

Colin Farrell plays Marty, a hard-drinking screenwriter in Los Angeles. He has his movie title — “Seven Psychopaths” — but little else. He gets sucked into the hijinks of his friend Billy (Sam Rockwell), whose dog-napping scheme turns bloody when Billy and his friend Hans (Christopher Walken) swipe the Shih Tzu of a pooch-loving gangster (Woody Harrelson). Rockwell — enthusiastic and deranged — is exceptional.

In the film’s meta narrative, he’s a kind of stand-in for movies, themselves: violent, funny, crazy and irresistible. When the action decamps to the desert, the film finds its footing. The writer-director is best in such Beckett-like limbos, heavy with Catholic guilt — an enthralling talent even when obscured by all the selfaware playfulness here. After breaking apart the crime film, he puts it back together again for a conclusion worthy of the genre. And in the end, the movies — in all their insanity — win.

Summit Entertainment

Edward Burns, left, and Tyler Perry in a scene from “Alex Cross.”

‘Alex Cross’ H½ (PG-13 for violence including disturbing images, sexual content, language, drug references and nudity.)

James Patterson titled his 12th Alex Cross crime novel simply “Cross.” The filmmakers who adapted it expanded the title to “Alex Cross.” They might as well have gone for broke and called it “Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Stab at Expanding Her-His Hollywood Marketability as James Patterson’s Alex Cross.”

Perry’s name will draw his fans in. Patterson’s name will draw his fans in. There’s no trace of Madea in director Rob Cohen’s adaptation, yet the spirit of the sassy grandma inevitably hangs over the project for viewers curious to see Perry playing

it straight and dramatic.

Alex Cross the man and “Alex Cross” the movie wind up suffering for it.

It’s perfectly reasonable for Perry to try to broaden his enormous popularity beyond the Madea lineage in his own raucous portraits of family life. It’s also perfectly reasonable to say that casting Perry as Cross was a bad idea, though it’s not necessarily the worst in a movie built on bad ideas. Perry looks the part of Patterson’s big, athletic hero, but he’s low-keybordering-on-sleepwalker dull, and the standard-issue cop-vs.-serial-killer story presents Cross as more of a dopey psycho-babbler than a guy whose incisive mind cuts right to the heart of the case. With Edward Burns,

Matthew Fox and Cicely Tyson.

‘Argo’ HHHH (R for language and some violent images.)

A movie about the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis probably doesn’t sound like it would be a laugh riot but that’s just one of the many ways in which this is a glorious, gripping surprise.

Directing his third feature, Ben Affleck shows a deft handling of tone, especially in making difficult transitions between scenes in Tehran, Washington and Hollywood, but also gives one of his strongest performances yet in front of the camera as the film’s star. “Argo” reveals his further mastery of pacing and storytelling, even as he juggles complicated set pieces, various locations and a

cast featuring 120 speaking parts. And the story he’s telling sounds impossible, but it’s absolutely true (with a few third-act tweaks to magnify the drama). When protestors stormed the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 52 people hostage, six employees sneaked out a back door and sought refuge at the home of Canadian Ambassador Ken Taylor (Victor Garber).

Longtime CIA operative Tony Mendez (Affleck) comes up with a crazy scheme to rescue them: He’ll fly to Tehran, pretend that they all entered the country together to scout locations for a schlocky scifi movie called “Argo,” then walk right out the front door with them and fly home.

Bryan Cranston, John Goodman and Alan Arkin are among the excellent supporting cast.

Award-winning author Greene visits North Ga. From staff reports Award-winning author and journalist Melissa Fay Greene will visit North Georgia College & State University on Nov. 1 to talk about her latest nonfiction book, a story about herself and her husband raising their own four children and five others adopted from foreign orphanages.

“No Biking in the House Without a Helmet: Nine Kids, Three Continents, One Family,” is based on her 2011 book. The event, part of the university’s Visiting Authors Program, begins at 7 p.m. in the Health & Natural Sciences Auditorium at North Georgia and is free and open to the public.

In the book, she writes: “We’ve steered by the light of what brings us joy, what makes us laugh, and what feels right and true. In shaky times, I’ve thought, ‘Did we take on too many?’ ‘Is the whole family at risk of capsizing?’ ‘What do the experts say?’ But we and the children seem to be thriving; it seems we have been right to trust love, laughter, and happiness.”

A native of Macon, Greene and her husband, defense attorney Don Samuel, have lived in Georgia since 1975.

They live in Atlanta and are the parents of six sons and three daughters.

Greene is the author of five books of nonfiction: “Praying for Sheetrock” (1991), “The Temple Bombing” (1996), “Last Man Out” (2003), “There Is No Me Without You: One Woman’s Odyssey to Rescue her Country’s Children” (2006), and “No Biking in the House Without A Helmet” (2011).

“Praying For Sheetrock,” about race relations and the “good old boy” network in McIntosh County, was named one of the top 100 works of American journalism of the 20th century and appears on Entertainment Weekly‘s list of “The New Classics-The 100 Best Books of the Last 25 Years.”
