When “God’s Country” screens in Bozeman on Wednesday, it will be a reunion for director and co-writer Julian Higgins and some of the film’s Montana-based cast and crew.
“We’ll finally get to have the celebration we didn’t get to have at the end of the shoot,” Higgins said in a phone interview on Tuesday, citing COVID-19 concerns for the lack of a wrap party. “It should be a very special night.”
The Bozeman Film Society will pres-
ent “God’s Country” at the Ellen Theatre in Bozeman at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 19. A Q&A with Higgins will follow the film. Tickets for “God’s Country” are $11.25 for adults and $10.75 for students and seniors. They are available at theellentheatre.secure. force.com/ticket#/. A $2.50 processing fee will be added to each order.
“God’s Country” stars Thandiwe Newton (“Westworld, “Crash”) as Sandra Guidry, a college professor in some unnamed rural Western town that is a conglomeration of filming locations across southwest Montana including the University of Montana Western campus in Dillon, the now-defunct Dollar Spree
in Bozeman and the Clyde Park Tavern. Bozeman actors on screen include John Hosking and George DeVries as professors.
Though the Bozeman premiere will be celebratory, “God’s Country” is not. The dark thriller opens with Sandra attending her mother’s cremation. Amid the loss, she is dealing with politics of race and gender within the university system while navigating an intrusion at home.
“We wanted to parallel the personal journey of these characters with the national story that has been told over the last two centuries,” Higgins said.

Dolores Gavin and Thom Beers were the creative forces behind this unscripted series that aired on History from 2008 to 2019 and highlights the work of and dangers faced by logging crews in the second-growth forests of Northwestern Oregon, Washington and Montana and the rivers of Louisiana and Florida.
Director Tim Burton’s 2012 update of the long-running ABC daytime serial still centers around vampire Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp), who is revived after a two-century-long burial. Barnabas sets out to right the wrongs done to his family, and the result is played more for humor than fans of the original saga might anticipate. Michelle Pfeiffer, Helena Bonham Carter, Eva Green and Christopher Lee also star.
From “Solar Opposites” creator Justin Roiland comes this animated special in which Leroy, Reggie and Cheruce Paloni (voices of Roiland, Zach Hadel and Pamela Adlon) are given the chance of a lifetime to host a program full of spooky shorts from a group of up-and-coming animators.

Many of your scenes are with Victor Garber, who plays your character’s estranged father. How is he as a scene partner?
Oh, he’s fabulous. ... He is very generous. He’s always on time. He’s the kind of person that says, you know, if you’re five minutes early you’re late. (Laughs) So he’s always on time, he’s overprepared and he knows everybody’s name and he’s there to work, which I love. There is no diva-ness about Victor Garber. He is there to work and he’s always prepared, so I love that about him, and he makes everybody step up to that. So we all have to show up willing to work and be super-prepared.

J.K. Simmons (“The Closer”) won an Oscar as best supporting actor — as well as a slew of other awards — for writer-director Damien Chazelle’s intense, character-driven 2014 drama, which examines the combative relationship between a music student (Miles Teller) and a relentlessly demanding professor (Simmons). Paul Reiser and Melissa Benoist (“Supergirl”) also appear, but veteran character actor Simmons dominates in an electrifying performance.
The anthology series that’s based on the popular column in The New York Times gets rebooted and set in Japan with a new look, creators and cast. Like the original it depicts various forms of love in a variety of expressive ways. Unlike it, one of the seven first season episodes will be animated.

As a nation, America aspires to eat healthy but let’s face it – we love our snacks. And an upcoming series may tell us a little more than what we want to know about them in a week of worthy offerings on Cooking Channel and Food Network.
On “Snack on This!,” premiering Wednesday, Oct. 19, on Cooking Channel, host Kalen Allen (“Cakealikes”) takes viewers inside factories far and wide to show how favorite treats are made. From Buffalo Wild Wings and Ramen Noodles to Coca-Cola and Jelly Bellies, Allen goes behind the scenes to reveal origin stories, amazing feats of manufacturing and the steps involved in bringing these comestibles to store shelves. Consider this a how-the-sausage-is-made story but without politicians or pork.
Also that night on Cooking is a new episode of “Food Paradise” which focuses is on the gastronomical delights that can be had at drive-in eateries. There’s nothing dietetic going on here as folks pull up to sample some hot barbecue in Ohio and overstuffed pastrami sandwiches at a Los Angeles diner that celebrates classic car culture. Get your motor running.
Switching gears to Food Network, there are some iconic dishes from different decades being made in “The Kitchen” on Saturday, Oct. 22, starting in the ‘60s with a tiki-style pu pu platter courtesy of Alex Guarnaschelli and Katie Lee Biegel. There are also Sunny Anderson’s ‘70-style beef stroganoff, Geoffrey Zakarian’s 1980s crab and avocado salad and Jeff Mauro’s nod to the ‘90s with a chocolate lava cake – all washed down with a timeless cocktail, the martini.
Something is also going on in Ina Garten’s kitchen in the Sunday, Oct. 16, edition of “Be My Guest With Ina Garten,” as she welcomes in actor Nathan Lane to sample her version of his favorite dessert, a rum raisin rice pudding. She also shows him how to make mussels with saffron cream before they head out to pick herbs in her garden and into town for yet more sweet treats in East Hampton, N.Y..
Speaking of sweet, Molly Yeh’s got some tasty items in the oven in Sunday’s “Girl Meets Farm,” as she’s celebrating her tutu-loving daughter Berenie’s birthday by baking a tiedye tutu birthday cake and loading up a table full of snacks including swirly yogurt queso with cilantro cream, little bean burritos and tiny taco salads. Some kids have all the luck.

Is there a more appropriate month for director John Carpenter’s original 1978 scare fest “Halloween”? That’s a rhetorical question, since of course, there isn’t ... and again this year, the film is one of the benchmarks of the many seasonal attractions on AMC, which presents it on Tuesday, Oct. 18, and Wednesday, Oct. 19.
Jamie Lee Curtis became a star as the babysitter stalked by murderous Michael Myers – who, in turn, is tracked by his psychiatrist (Donald Pleasence) –and it’s worth noting that Carpenter also composed the genuinely haunting, famously minimalist music score. Curtis still is with the horror franchise this many years later, though the new “Halloween Ends” is meant to be (as that title suggests) the end of the series.
“The Twilight Zone” (MeTV, Sunday, Oct. 16): Speaking of Halloween season, this channel continues its all-month salute to it with a mini-marathon of Rod Serling’s classic series that made a deep dive into the supernatural. Ten notable episodes are presented, ending with one of the most famous – “Nightmare at 20,00 Feet,” with William Shatner as an airplane passenger understandably agitated to see a bizarre creature perched on the wing of the craft while it’s in flight. The story was remade for a 1983 movie and the “Twilight Zone” reboot done several TV seasons ago.
“Love Story” (Paramount+, streaming): More than 50 years later, love still means never having to say you’re sorry. This enormously popular 1970 drama centers on the romance of wealthy college-hockey player Oliver (Ryan O’Neal) and “smart and poor” music student Jenny (Ali MacGraw, who didn’t make all that many movies after this). Erich Segal’s screenplay was turned into a bestselling novel first.

“The point of that is to get at these cycles of disaster and trauma that then play out in the future. And ask how we can break those cycles.”
The conflict at home starts with a red pickup truck with a pair of hunt ers inside. Brothers, we learn. They want access to the national forest land beyond Sandra’s property. But Sandra, a former New Orleans police officer, does not want unknown men with guns roaming her property.
Sandra leaves a note on the truck asking them to keep out, which she finds balled up next to a mutilated bird. She confronts them face-to-face. When they return, she has the truck towed. They shoot an arrow into her door. She calls the sheriff’s office.
“But you can see how that sort of thing might upset a person,” the dep uty tells her. “I’ve got to warn you that these two gentlemen, they are likely to see your involving the local sheriff’s department as yet another escalation.”
“Why do you keep calling them gentlemen?” Sandra replies.
“God’s Country” doesn’t shy from calling to light a multitude of issues, from patriarchal systems to tension between citizens and police.
“Higgins’ excellent film constantly dangles redemption in front of our faces, begging us to imagine a better world, but ultimately delivers a stark reminder of how bitterly divided the country is,” Christian Zilko wrote in a review for IndieWire.
The film’s premise is based on “Winter Light,” a short story by crime novelist James Lee Burke. Higgins’ mother is a fan and suggested Higgins read the story collection “Jesus out to Sea.” “Winter Light” was the first story.
“I knew immediately that it was something I was going to engage with as a filmmaker,” Higgins said. “I wasn’t quite sure how, but that’s the part you find out through making the work.”
In 2014, Higgins made “Winter Light” into a short film of the same name.
“I thought that would be all I did with it,” Higgins said. “And then a few years later, after the 2016 election, the story came back into my head on
its own and seemed relevant for me in new ways.”
At the time, Higgins and Shaye Ogbonna were on the hunt for ideas. They wanted a story with a simple premise that would allow them to dig into complex characters and their emotional turmoil.
“The heart of the story for me is about a confrontation between a person with a strong value system and the very harsh realities of the world,” Higgins said. “For me, it is really in teresting to explore how value systems change and break apart, especially at a time when that is the feeling in the air, that the things we’re used to are collapsing.”
To do this, Higgins and Ogbonna shifted the central character from a white male to a black woman, opening up a much wider scope of racial-and gender-based tensions to explore.
“When you’re telling a story from a white male perspective, you don’t have access to a lot of those things because that society is constructed for that character.”
Higgins fully acknowledges that he is a white man. Ogbonna is not. They are both male. Both also cite their mothers as influences and gravi tate toward stories that center women. They lean into the responsibility of trying to tell these stories.
“The point as storytellers is to tell the truth of what we see,” Higgins said. “We wanted to describe some thing that felt true and to trust the audience to chew on those ideas.”
While the film’s action continues to rise and consequences become more dire, Higgins said the story is not without hope. “God’s Country” is as much about the connections we make with each other as it is the divides we have created. Change can be for the better if only we lean into these connections.
“It’s possible to redraw the circle so that we see each other as equals and fellow humans on this journey,” Higgins said. “Throughout the movie, you keep seeing that potential.”

BY GEORGE DICKIEOn a team that made the NBA Finals last season, Malcolm Brogdon could be the final piece that puts the Boston Celtics over the top.
Acquired in a July trade with the Indiana Pacers, the 2017 NBA Rookie of the Year is the type of point guard who is a solid passer, ball handler and defender, finishes well at the rim and commits few turnovers. Over the last two seasons, he’s one of a handful of players who averaged at least 18 points, five rebounds and five assists. Last year, his numbers were 19.1, 5.1 and 5.9.

He considers himself a point guard first and over his career he has proven himself to be a guy who can take care of the ball and lead a team on the court. But in Boston, he’ll join a backcourt rotation with Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart and Derrick White, thus forcing him to play shooting guard more often.
He did that with the Milwaukee Bucks in the first three years of his NBA career and toward the end of his three-year tenure with the Pacers but it was not his desired role. He’d rather be the guy who gets his teammates involved, who competes on both ends of the court, rather than the shooter. He wants to be a leader and a winner.
He’ll certainly get that chance in Boston, which is where Brogdon and the Celtics will tip off the 2022-23 season against the Philadelphia 76ers in the opener of a doubleheader airing Tuesday, Oct. 18, from TD Garden on TNT.
