Two years ago, “Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party” had comical, party mini-games with one stand out: the dancing game. In my review at the time, I stated that the publisher Ubisoft could make an entire game around matching dance moves on-screen and sell it. Coincidentally, a year later “Just Dance” was released for the Nintendo Wii and sold well. To this day, it still makes the NPD Group’s top twenty games sold by volume in America.

Luckily for dancing fans, if you needed a fresh song list, “Just Dance 2” has hit the shelves and delivers the same fun and energy.

With a Wii controller in hand and wrist-strap secured, you select from over forty songs that range from rock, contemporary R&B, electronic and international hits. After choosing, you are shown a silhouette of a dancer

who performs the song.

While they dance, you try to mimic their moves and align your right hand to his or her on-screen position.

Y ou earn points for having your motions match.

Even for the dancing impaired, it is easy to match the moves. “Just Dance 2” does not map feet or body movements,

so getting just your arms into action can still earn you a decent score. Being able to copy the full-motion video choreography would take formal dance training, but “Just Dance 2” is for the casual player. There is no way to lose. The worst is that you will receive a mediocre score.

Songs are rated on their energy and their technique. A “technical” song will have some precise movements whereas a high “energy” song with have lots of successive movements. There are also a few duet dances where two dancers can perform together, but most songs are built for the single player or group trying to match the solitary dancer. Most importantly for any party, there is a nonstop continuous mix where songs will auto-play all night.

While containing more songs than its predecessor, “Just Dance 2” boasts a downloadable

library including Katy Perry’s “Firework” and M.A.R.R.S.’s “Pump Up The Volume.” With more songs promised in the future, Wii owners can spend 300 Wii points (three dollars) to get a new song. Due to the huge success of “Just Dance,” I guess that the online store will grow and prove very profitable for Ubisoft.

While “Just Dance 2” was an easy pick-up-andplay game, my biggest complaint is in the workout mode called Just Sweat.

Though I was excited to see the fitness feature with high-energy dancing, the omission of a nonstop mode is a real disappointment. After trying a short work out, my heart rate kept dropping while I selected a new song and

The sounds of syntax I am a word man.

I like the way words, if used the right way, can paint pictures sometimes better than any brushstroke. They can recall memories and lead thoughts and start and end wars.

As a print journalist, I try to pay very close attention to my diction and syntax — that is, the words I choose and the order in which I place them in a sentence. There’s no inflection in print, so my words have to stand on their own, without any of that little “umph” on a syllable that makes a sentence mean something completely different than it might if it

But in life, the way you say a word is almost as important as the word itself.

Complaints aside, “Just Dance 2” is just as much fun as “Just Dance.”

The version you buy will depend on which song list you like the best.

My opinion? Get both for your next party.

While some of the

new party and competition modes are a blast to play, most gamers will stick to the main dancing mode – and they will not be sorry. “Just Dance” and “Just Dance 2” are the best dancing games on the Wii. I look forward to their “Just Dance Kids” coming out this November.

how to buy and sell your own body by the pound.”

But lately things have been streaming out of my car speakers, little words or single syllables that the vocalist hangs on to and drags out and mutilates until it’s not just a word any more but an entire life of pain or joy or sadness bouncing around inside

my car in pure, sonic emotion.

Ida Maria’s the queen at this. “O h, my god” is really a dull little phrase, softened by all the teenyboppers typing “O MG” into their cell phones over the pizza flavor in their high school cafeterias.

But when Ida sings it on the song of that title, it’s drawn out and pulled from the bottom of her lungs

and splattered all over the place with so much dripping angst that you can’t help but slip and fall into her pain.

“O h ... my ... God, did you think it’s all for fun?”

Tears in my eyes. Every time.

There are others. Kings fO Leon, for example, brings up a simple “Hey” for a few measures before landing into the chorus

of their “Sex on Fire.” A meaningless article that gets the heart pumping a few BPM’s faster.

Everclear is not without this talent, by the way. See “The Twistinside,” off their album “Sparkle & Fade.”

O ther artists have somehow wrapped the knack for poetic diction with a Buddhist sense for timing and inflection and made the perfect word-song.

Manchester O rchestra, for example, penned a masterpiece when they wrote, “I found a note in my grandfather’s coat, when I read it out loud I got cold.

‘Cause he said, ‘I’m not complaining, I’m a man, I’m a lost one, you see.’”

Those words could’ve stood alone and knocked a rattling emotional response around my head, but then they have this hurt,

AP Movie Critic

LOS ANGELES — Clint Eastwood selected his five favorite movies from the dozens he’s directed.

Because we’re feeling so charitable, we let him pick six, listed below alphabetically along with his comments and insights: — “Bird” (1988), Eastwood’s biopic on jazz legend Charlie Parker: It was a nice story about someone whose musicianship I admired so greatly.

It was a good script on the analysis of the selfdestructiveness of personality: people who insist on sinking into the abyss.

Success, being idolized by other musicians — none of it was enough.

— “Letters From Iwo Jima” (2006), one of two World War II films Eastwood released that year: I was proud of

“Letters from Iwo Jima.”

I got the idea of doing it while doing “Flags of Our Fathers,” which is about the American invasion of the island. But the film pointed out what it must have been like to have been one of the defenders of the island — to have been there, and been told not to plan on returning home. What a difficult request to make of people.

Also, the Japanese soldiers were facing certain annihilation. They never gave up hope. A lot of them would have loved to have been out of the war and home, just like soldiers from any nation.

— “Million Dollar Baby” (2004), starring Hilary Swank as a boxer and Eastwood as her reluctant trainer: It appealed to me because it was a story regarding family — a search for the daughter he never had a relationship

The unseen work behind the music ANDY FITZPATRICK The Enquirer

A major operation is being staged in Battle Creek, concentrating the efforts of an army of people.

The Battle Creek S ymphony Orchestra will open for its 112th season S aturday, but only after a legion of musicians, administrators, volunteers and others worked for months on making it happen.

One cog in the machine is symphony operations manager Megan MacLeod.

Just two months into her post, the musician-turned-administrator is going through the trials of the final week before the season opener.

“I’m kind of in my biggest week of surprise now as the concert’s coming and all these crises are arising,” she said Monday, although she said most things were going according to plan.

That plan actually was initiated in March. After Music Director Anne Harrigan has selected the music for the season, MacLeod gets to work keeping the musicians prepared, and even hiring new players.

“We have our core members who are contracted and they play every concert,” MacLeod said. Other musicians that may be needed for certain pieces are then found; MacLeod said she works from a list of top players in the area.

A librarian then finds the music and distributes it to the players while MacLeod works to meet their needs, such as arranging hotel rooms and travel plans.

“We’ve got players that come from Chicago, northern Michigan, Ann Arbor, Lansing, Indiana, Traverse City; they come from all over,” she said.

The people are only part of the equation; equipment elements like the players’ chairs and stands, the music shell and box office equipment have to be brought in.

For a show like “Dvorak’s New World,” the season opener, more technology is needed.

As the symphony plays, photographs

OUT THE RED CARPET

The Enquirer

MARSHALL – In February of 1940, Walt Disney’s “Pinocchio” debuted, America had just over a year before the Pearl Harbor attack would happen and journalist Ted Koppel was born.

In Marshall, however, the citizens were busy making a movie, which has been recently rediscovered and is now ready to be shown at a public premiere 8 p.m. Saturday in the Marshall Middle School Auditorium.

It was a revelation to Marshall resident and Marshall Historical Society member Bob Lowman, who found a stack of 16mm film canisters in the basement of the Grand Army of the Republic Hall in July 2008.

“I took them out of the container,” Lowman said.

“They were numbered, but they were all mixed up.”

Had Lowman seen the first reel, he might have found the title card bearing “We’re In the Movies – 1940.”

However, he was able to secure a projector and a glimpse of Marshall from long ago was revealed to him.

Scenes from businesses and schools around the town, in both

Green St., Marshall.  COST: $8 for advance tickets and $10 for tickets at the door; a DVD copy will be sold for $10 before Sunday and $15 after Sunday.  INFO: The premiere and DVD sales will be used to raise funds for maintenance of Marshall’s historical markers.

To order tickets or for more information, go to www.wereinthemovies1940.com or call 781-8544.

color and black and white, played out silently.

Lowman said he first suspected the film was shot between 1935 and 1945 because of the style of cars on Michigan Avenue; a shot from an Eaton Corporation office with a 1940 calendar on the wall confirmed the year.

“I took a legal pad and went through each one and wrote down the scenes; I started out with the very first one, and that was easy to do,” Lowman said.

“Once I got them in the right order, I sent it to this company in Pittsburgh.”

There, the film was cleaned, restored, burned onto a DVD and returned to Lowman.

“We’re In the Movies – 1940” was a film project spearheaded by the organization that was known at the time as the Junior Chamber of Commerce. The John B. Rogers Producing Company of Fostoria, Ohio, came to Marshall for four days and shot a film showcasing the 30 local

businesses that sponsored the project.

The film was silent, Lowman theorized, because of the extra cost of including sound.

Background muisc has been added to the DVD. Lowman thought the plot of the movie was a standard one for the company – a movie star comes to Small Town, U.S.A., to choose a “movie queen” and take her to a lucrative Hollywood career – but it was the use of all-local actors and views of Marshall gone by that piqued his historical interest.

Those were also the reasons Keith Kehlbeck, former president of the Society‘s Board of Directors, volunteered to help Lowman with the project; Jennifer Rupp also volunteered.

Rupp is a former Executive Director of the Society.

“It must have been quite an event,” Kehlbeck said. “Bob was looking at some of the newspaper coverage on this and it was a big deal.”

The film opens with the story

of Mary and Joe, a young couple in love and on the hunt for their first home.

After Mary sees an advertisement on the fictional star Gary Owens coming to town to select a girl to become a Hollywood actress, Joe attempts to put such thoughts out of her head and get her to focus on the upcoming marriage and the building of their dream home.

What happens in the end, of course, will be revealed at the premiere.

The Junior Chamber and what was then known as the Marshall Evening Chronicle organized a Movie Queen contest, allowing residents to vote for who would be Marshall’s “glamour girl.”

What originally served as a fundraiser for the Junior Chamber will come full circle and become a promotion again, this time for the Historical

Society’s maintenance and refurbishment of Marshall’s green and gold historic markers.

“We have 43 historical markers; only the cities of Detroit and Lansing have more,” Lowman said.

He said the cost of a brandnew marker is $2,000. To send one off for sandblasting and repainting is about $750.

“It’s something the historical society has borne the cost of over the years, but as it gets more expensive, we needed to do something to help underwrite that in the future to make sure those are maintained,” Kehlbeck said. “This seemed like a good way to do that.”
