Best of Real Cinema Music From The Big house
On Tuesday, July 24th, at 7 P.M., the Tallahassee Film Society will present a film event, Music From the Big House. The film is about Rita Chiarelli, Canada’s Goddess of the Blues, who takes a pilgrimage to the birthplace of the blues: Lousiana State Maximum Security Penitentiary, formerly the bloodiest prison in America. From shared interest of music to Chiarelli’s exuberant personality, remarkable voices of hope are witnessed as their love of music radiates humanity and redemption on their quest for forgiveness. Following the film, Chiarelli will present a small performance of her musical stylings. The ticket for the event is $10. For more information, visit www.tallahasseefilms.com or call 850-386-4404.

the Big House Tuesday, July 24th - 7pm
In MUSIC FROM THE BIG HOUSE, Rita Chiarelli, Canada’s Goddess of the Blues, takes a pilgrimage to the birthplace of the Blues: Louisiana State Maximum Security Penitentiary, a.k.a Angola Prison formerly the bloodiest prison in America. Rita’s trip turns into an unprecedented historic jailhouse performance, playing with – rather than for – musician inmates serving life sentences. Their shared bond of music, and Chiarelli’s ebullient personality, draw striking revelations from the inmates. Rather than sensational stories of convicts, we witness remarkable voices of hope as their love of music radiates humanity and redemption on their quest for forgiveness.
Rita will be at the showing as well as performing post-showing at All Saints Hopyard - 9pm TICKET PRICING $10 for Movie & Music Evening / $2 for Music Only at The Hopyard (45-min set) ALL SAINTS CINEMA | 918 1/2 Railroad Ave. | www.tallahasseefilms.com | 850-386-4404

Les Mis at Leon High Starting last weekend, the Leon High School Performing Arts Department began a two-weekend run of the Broadway musical Les Miserables – the second longest running show in Broadway history, and perhaps one of the most elaborately staged plays as well. If you have ever seen the original production, your immediate question would be “How in the world can you stage that play in a High School?” You couldn’t really. Not if you wanted to do the original musical justice. (The entire stage becomes a crag of a “barricade” for the second act – a gigantic hill of debris and fodder that rebellious students have erected in the middle of Paris while they battle the army. And then it revolves.) But the producers of the Broadway show, after receiving so much interest from schools, developed a scaled down version of the musical that could be performed by students. And that is what you will see this weekend at Leon High School. But don’t get the wrong impression about what “scaled down” means here – this ain’t no play on a back porch. In fact, the production is still highly challenging for a smaller stage. Here’s an example: the cast and ensemble of this performance is comprised of more than 60 students from across Leon County. And Leon High didn’t spare any efforts in the set design, lighting, orchestra, costuming, or sound departments either. And you wouldn’t know to look at it that this production was, in fact, staged in a High School. We at Villager don’t usually prefer to cover performances after they have run, but our hats are off the cast and directors of this remarkable staging, and we had to show it. And we wanted to encourage these and other students to go out for the arts more often… because this is a lot of hard work, at a time when video games and back yard pools would have been a much easier alternative. (We only we wish we had enough
space to display each cast member.) We also wanted to give credit to the parents of these amazing students, for making all that extra effort – driving to and from rehearsals, shopping for wardrobe pieces, rehearsing at home, bringing the snacks to stage crew nights, helping to fundraise and sell tickets, and on and on – to nurture the talent and passions of their children. And finally, maybe by including this we are helping to make theater and the arts a little hipper, since they are all too often overshadowed by sports or other endeavors. Not that any one is more valuable than the other, but a lot of us here at Villager were the drama geeks in High School. We know that is hard to believe. Congratulations to everyone involved in the show, and especially to Director Naomi Rose-Mock for a job incredibly well done.

The Arts
A Little Bit of Paint, A Little Bit of Wine By Julia Welling
Most people would never be able to create a great work of art, but one local business will help you tap into your inner Picasso, and do so “with a twist.” Painting with a Twist, located in the Lake Ella shopping center, offers various art classes and styles to choose from each month … but these are not your average classes. The “twist” offers a social atmosphere where guests can bring their own beverages, and snacks. And that could include a bottle (or bottles) of wine or beer. Descriptions of the classes and what Painting with a Twist offers are available online, but of course, you can only experience it if you show up. Like many, I have never considered myself to be an artist or considered taking a painting class. In fact, I do not think I have touched a canvas or paints since middle school art class. But since no one should turn down an opportunity to enjoy good company and a good glass of wine, I decided to give it a try. Upon walking into the building, it is apparent that Painting with a Twist isn’t the ordinary beginner’s art class with a stodgy instructor. Most paintings are easier to create than they appear – samples of what you will be painting adorn the walls. And due to the guidance of instructors, the finished product will turn out far from mediocre. Seeing the blank canvas may be scary at first (which is why the wine twist on the class can be very helpful), but the instructors are very encouraging and helpful. Their “you can do it” attitude really pumps up the students. The techniques used in the class are very simple and easy to follow. The class begins with each student seated in front of the stark white canvas, with three brushes, a water cup, and all of the paint colors needed to complete the
painting. A sample painting is also displayed in the front of the room so that it can be seen and copied as closely as possible. The instructor walks the students step-by-step through the painting, starting with the background and ending with the finishing touches and small details. Apprehension seems to be the general mood in the class—most of us do not consider ourselves “artistic”—but with step-by-step instructions, very few colors, and only three brushes, anyone can do it. Painting with a twist welcomes both male and female guests of all ages: it is not just for the 21 and up crowd. And if you think you will be walking into a “girls night out,” Painting with a Twist is much more than that. On this particular night, the instructor even joked that the women in the group couldn’t “take over” the men’s restroom, like usual, because it was a coed class. Students sit at three large long tables placed side by side, which promotes the social environment that Painting with a Twist strives for. One group was made up of a couple and a friend who was visiting from out of state, while another group consisted of a mother and her

two teenage daughters. Both groups bonded through shared experiences, while poking fun at each other’s “mistakes.” Others, like myself, choose to attend alone, as a way to relax, unwind, or relieve stress. In the end though, all were provided with both an entertaining and rewarding experience. In the beginning, most of the class attendees kept to themselves and the acquaintances they came with, but as the wine began to flow, the class quickly came alive. Two women who attend the class together once a month as a way to catch up and keep in touch were singing along to the background tunes of the 80’s and 90’s. They became what the instructor called the “party corner,” and their outgoing presence added to an already enjoyable class. As the painting continued, many students grew eager to mingle. When two painters struck up a conversation about a recent New York Times bestseller, everyone began chatting and laughing about the fervent contents of the book. From there, the conversations progressed into various other popular topics. By the end of the class, some who had come in as strangers left as friends, or

It was impressive to see how amateurs could create such remarkable pieces. And at the end of the class, there is yet another societal aspect. Each “Picasso” gets to show off his or her “masterpiece” in a group photo for future guests of Painting with a Twist to view online. And of course, they walk home with their new personal artwork in hand.

We Found Waldo. He Was In Thomasville... By Jennifer Wells Waldo, in his red-striped shirt, thick black glasses, side-parted wavy hair, Swiss-chalet-style ski cap, and skinny jeans was arguably the Ur-hipster for generations X and Y. He epitomized the angst inherent in our collective dream of special-ness, his and our individuality obscured by a sea of like-striped strangers. We grew up searching for him, endlessly, as he hid in theme parks and city streets and foreign locales. He was lost and found; we were lost and still hoping to be found. It was perhaps for this reason that I, at 5 p.m. on a Saturday in downtown Thomasville, Georgia, was getting nervous. I had one hour left and the shops were beginning to close for the evening.
Where WAS Waldo?
In honor of Waldo’s 25th birthday, Waldo’s publisher has partnered with 250 communities around the country to host real-life hunts for Waldo. The Bookshelf, Thomasville’s independent bookstore, brought the game here. The rules are simple: go to one of 20 participating stores, find their hidden Waldo, and receive a slip of paper from the store proclaiming you have, in fact, found Waldo. Collect 8 of those and receive a Waldo button; collect 16 and be entered to win fabulous prizes. They had me: I knew once I started playing I would not be able to leave until I had found at least 8. Beginning my hunt for Waldo inside The Bookshelf was a rookie mistake! Apparently, local children have become adept at finding Waldo and are given permission to re-hide him. Let me tell you: those kids are SMART. Prepare to be humiliated when you can’t locate something hidden by a 7 year old. My next stop was Sweet Grass Dairy’s retail store, which is also a wine shop. Not only did I find Waldo hiding above a bottle of Zinfandel from Quivira, one of
my favorite California wineries, but in honor of Bastille Day the Dairy’s sommelier, Adam, was offering a tasting of 6 French wines. After a rather nerdy (on my part) discussion of a Sauvignon Blanc, he explained that he changes the wine stock quarterly, so in the summer, they offer more rieslings and roses, but come fall, will change to pinots and other medium-bodied reds. The majority of wines are priced in the $15-$20 range. After Sweet Grass, I moved on to Earthlover, a shop specializing in fair trade products from around the world. While I was looking for Waldo, I was tempted to buy a beaded necklace to replace the one I had brought home from Uganda and subsequently lost on St. George Island, but instead I found a saturnine ring made of Peruvian Alpaca Silver. At Wiregrass Gallery, an artist’s coop that features the work of 35 (mostly) local artists, I found Waldo hiding inside a piece of pottery. I also met Jeff Freedman, a stained glass artist, who creates his pieces by re-purposing salvaged wood, glass, and natural objects like geodes. He showed me the work of another artist, Lynn Freedman, who similarly re-purposes treasures like leftover mother of pearl, originally used for making buttons, to create new jewelry. Next up: Grassroots Coffee, where single-origin beans are roasted onsite. I chose a pound of Tanzanian peaberry, as well as a pound of Bean Me Up Scotty, a blend of South and Central American beans. People who chase Waldo all over town are also people who will buy anything labeled with a bad pun. Ultimately, I managed to find 8 Waldos, and triumphantly received my Waldo button. After 45 frustrating minutes and generous clues, I even found Waldo at The Bookshelf. While there is no requirement to spend money in any of the shops, I was delighted by the treasures I found throughout my quest.

Yet, I feel like I have barely scratched the surface of Thomasville. Every time I passed Jonah’s Fish and Grits, there were people waiting outside: always a good sign. Liam’s is considered a semisecret foodie destination. Then there is the Thomasville State Farmer’s Market, and adjacent to that, the Market Diner where, for very little money, you can get a whole buffet of Southern cuisine, complete with veggies sauteed in secret bacon (vegetarians, beware; others, rejoice). Bottom line? Come to look for Waldo, stay to discover Thomasville.

VIDEO OF THE WEEK
NASA’s “Seven Minutes of Terror” NASA engineers have created the ultimate suspense-horror of the summer. With a million lines of code and zero margin of error, a one ton capsule carrying the rover named Curiosity will travel supersonic speeds, reach temperatures of 1600 degrees, and navigate an atmosphere 100x thinner than earths while it goes from 13,000 miles per hour to zero in an unbelievably intricate robo-transformer sequence. The trouble starts at entry. As the capsule slams into the atmosphere an enormous amount of aerodynamic drag is created, burning friction that heats the shield up like the sun, requiring strenuous piloting control. This violent slow down still won’t be sufficient enough for a safe landing and a supersonic parachute is deployed, built to withstand sixty four thousand pounds of force, but only weighing in at around 100 pounds itself. It deploys at a violent 9Gs but still is only able to slow the capsule down to 200 miles per hour. This next problem is solved by ejecting the rover from the capsule and lighting up its rocket propulsion, and a radical diversion maneuver is immediately employed to avoid slamming into the parachute as the rover jettisons horizontally out of the way. Descending now in a vertically position the radar landing technology quickly maps the terrain and steers the
rover to the bottom of a chosen crater beside a 6 kilometer high mountain. Now the rockets have taken the rover as far as they can go. To avoid kicking damaging dust up onto the rover, the pyrotechnic device hovers 20 meters above the surface and turns into a sky crane as it drops the rover to the surface on a tether. As soon as the rover is safely on the surface, the skycrane immediately severs the bridle and again uses rocket propulsion to fly to a safe place away from the rover. Curiosity will perform all of this by herself on the red planet, 154 million miles from earth while the scientists wait. What could go wrong? Nothing, or the shows over. Oh, and it takes radio waves 14 minutes to reach the earth, so by the time we receive word about the landing execution the rover will have been alive or dead for 7 minutes. Watch NASA’s “Challenge of getting to Mars” trailer that explains the seven minute entry and descent landing process. The video will give you chills when you see what we can do—followed by the thought, “Were the tides out in my gene pool?” (Search Youtube for “Nasa Seven Minutes.”) Tune in Sunday August 5th 1:31am EST to watch and see if Curiosity makes it. It’s one serious science project.

Tally Museum’s new adventure in the trees Photos by Darla Winn
W
e’ve been itching to try out The Tallahassee Museum’s new Tree-to-Tree Adventure course since it opened in May, and two weeks ago that’s exactly what we did! Villager’s athletics writer Scott Hall and our super-powered photog Darla Winn strapped in, with camera in hand, and climbed the trees to file this report. 12/ CapitalCityVillager/ July 20, 2012/ vol. 1 iss. 11/ BE COOL. BUY LOCAL!
By Scott Hall As I climbed down from the trees, my first thought wasn’t to the beauty of the course or how tired I was from navigating during the heat of the day.Rather, it was, “Oh my God, how many kids did I swear in front of?” I had just completed the Tree to Tree Adventure at the Tallahassee Museum and, although my body was back on the ground, my mind wasn’t quite there yet. Maybe we should back up a bit. The Tree to Tree Course is combination of rope obstacle and zipline courses, all done above the natural wildlife of the Tallahassee Museum. I had arrived that morning and (eventually) fitted into my safety harness. I then signed what was probably a number of death waivers, except that I didn’t read them because I thought that it was just super cool that I got to sign them on an iPad. I was then off to my safety briefing. I even knew the instructor, because, you know, this is Tallahassee. The briefing, though thorough, basically consisted of telling me not to plummet to my death. And then I was released, unsupervised, into the trees like some kind of baby bird in reverse. Once you are up in the trees, the rest of the world kind of falls away. I have no idea how many people, if any, were watching me. It was also when I discovered that I wasn’t super keen on
heights. Oh, and I started using profanity like an angry longshoreman. I navigated the first obstacle, which was probably some sort of basic bridge. My memory gets a little fuzzy from here on it, but stay with me and you will get the gist. I completed it in roughly 1 hour and 12 minutes, surely a world record. Strangely, there was no one on the other side to congratulate me. With the hardest obstacle out of the way, surely this would be easy from here on out. Not quite. As the course progressed, so did the challenge of each obstacle. One less plank on a bridge, a rope to swing over gaps, and a man clad in a business suit throwing live snakes at you. I may have been hallucinating about the latter one, however. Periodically, there would be gaps in the trees and you would put full faith in your harness and zip across the museum to the next tree. Despite my relative fear of heights, I found myself soaring with ease across these, and taking in the full beauty of the museum. As I crossed the final zip and literally came back to earth, I realized that the entire time I had been above the heads of museum goers, and not, as I had suspected, somewhere in the upper atmosphere. This was when I became concerned about my slightly uncouth language. The Tallahassee Museum has built something amazing here. In your own
backyard, you can soar down more than 700 feet of line, 50 feet in the air, right over native Florida wildlife. Of course there will be someone out there telling the tale of how they zipped over volcanoes in Costa Rica but, as a rule, you should punch people like this. This exhibit changes the museum permanently. For me, it was always a great location to take out of town visitors but not somewhere I went to when looking for something local to do. Now not only is it on my list, but it is high on my list. There is a children’s course, so this can easily be turned into a family outing. Children between the heights on 39 and 60 inches are welcomed on one of the courses when accompanied by an adult. It is estimated that this course will take 45 minutes to complete, so bring the kids out, do the course, eat some lunch, and then take a tour of the museum. The adult course can be physically challenging, but is designed in a way to cater to individual strengths. I have a strong upper body but lumber about with the grace of a Yeti, so I clung to a lot of safety lines and used my arms to maneuver me into place. Someone with balance and grace could easily stroll through obstacles without needing to raise their arms once. If your only form of physical fitness for the past few years has been hearing that guy at the office
talk about the Tour de France while you refilled your coffee, then you may want to check it out in person first. Also, bear in mind the time of day and the fact that you will be on a largely un-shaded course. It may be wise to chaperone your kids first and then see how well you think that you can tackle the more advanced courses. I keep checking Facebook over the weeks and I keep seeing more and more of my friends posting pictures of them trying the new courses at the museum. And, though I know that the museum has advertised the course, I see this more as an organic, word-of-mouth spread. That makes me extremely happy. For the longest time, Tallahassee only had cool and exciting options if you knew exactly where to look. Now, they are staring you in the face. Not sure where to start? Then you should be at the Tallahassee Museum next week.
IF YOU GO:
• 3 courses to choose from with varying difficulties, including a course for children. • Courses take between 45 minutes and 2 hours to complete. • Costs range from $15 to $45, depending on the course, with discounts for Museum members. www.TallahasseeMuseum.org

and Friday, August 17 will receive hotel accommodations, gas money and four conference badges. At the event, the band members will be able to attend panel meetings, discussions, and network with industry executives to broaden their understanding of the music business industry and help them to better market themselves. COCA describes the conference as “an unparalleled professional development and networking opportunity for the winning band, as well as a place to hear some of the greatest Americana music
DREW TILLMAN BAND
Why should you win?: Choosing to follow the road of an original band is definitely the harder way to go. People and clubs are always looking for that familiar cover tune. They want to hear what they know. What people don’t think about is… every song started out as an original and every band had to write its own songs to come into fame. The Drew Tillman Band is an original band that falls into the genre of Americana Rock ‘n Blues. We can’t fit into every club that wants covers but when given the opportunity, we can definitely put on a great show and win over the audience. One of the greatest feelings in the world is for someone to

in the country.” The Americana is genre is an umbrella that includes folk, bluegrass, traditional country, blues, roots and oldtime music. Any bands that met the criteria were invited to enter the contest, and the registration period ended earlier this month. In all, thirteen bands signed up, and voting began on July 14. So far, it has gotten off to a leaping start, with more than 8,500 votes having been cast by press time on July 19. And that activity will surely help COCA engage more local musicians and fans, and to educate them about the organization’s resources in the community. “When Grant Peeples brought this initial concept to COCA, we knew it was a winner,” said COCA’s Holly Thompson. “Part of COCA’s mission is to connect artists with the tools they need not just to practice their craft but also to sustain themselves as creative business people.” Through the COCA website, visitors have one-stop access to sample audio clips from each band, learn where to purchase their music, and discover up-

We did not edit the essays submitted. the Americana Music Festival and give Nashville a good representation of the musical talent that Tallahassee has to offer. Lead singer and songwriter for the band, Drew Tillman knows that his band is solid and has the creative chemistry to go the distance. “I am so fortunate to have a talented group of musicians playing with me.

KING COTTON Profile Information: Date formed: 1996 Number of members currently: 5 Genre: Blues Style: Country fried, southern rock boogie Names of current members: Tony Young (lead vocals), Tom Corbett (drums), Todd Bevis (upright bass), Frank Jones (guitar) and Clyde Ramsey (keyboard and harmonica) Strongest musical influences: Skynyrd, Allmans, Black Crowes If your band was an ice cream flavor, what would it be: Rocky Road Finish this sentence. Music is: “a wonderful outlet for creative expression.” Why should you win? King Cotton’s goal has always been to take traditional blues and put a modern spin on it. In 1997, King Cotton recorded and released its debut CD 10’ Tall, at Possum Tracks Sound Studio in
DRAMA KIDS Profile information Date formed: Feb. 2011 Number of members currently: 4 Genre: Americana Style: Hardcore Folk Names of current members: Joe Duncan (bass), Jeff Gottlieb (guitar), Chris Langley (drums), David Paul Zimmer (guitar, vocals) Strongest musical influences: Wilco, Ryan Adams, M. Ward, The National, Gram Parsons
Sopchoppy, Fla. The band sold more than 3,300 copies, while playing the festival and club circuit within the tri-state area. The album was a “Top 10” seller for several weeks on local charts and received air play from more than 30 radio stations within their touring region. King Cotton also was voted “Tallahassee’s Best Blues Band” in 2000 by Break Magazine. They also released a second “full length” effort - Ultra Blues - in 2001. The band has since logged more than 700 shows, while sharing the stage with national acts including the likes of B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Styx, 38 Special, Survivor, Molly Hatchet, Edgar Winter, Clarence Carter, Percy Sledge, George Clinton, Atlanta Rhythm Section, the Outfield, Rick Derringer, Tracy Lawrence and Daryle Singletary. King Cotton’s style is rooted in the blues, but it mixes southern rock boogie and tinges of outlaw country to form its own infectious, North Florida sound. Mixing old school feeling with a contemporary flavor, King Cotton’s music is a fresh sound enjoyed by all ages, and its high-energy, live performances leave audiences not only hearing the music - but feeling it as well. Be on the lookout and catch Tallahassee’s “bad boys of blues” at a venue or festival near you.
THE NEW 76ERS Profile information: Date formed: 2004 Number of members currently: 4 Genre: Americana Style: folk, singer-songwriter & roots music Names of current members: Kelly Goddard, Danny Goddard, Brian Durham & Drew Matulich Strongest musical influences: Neil Young, Alison Krauss, Townes Van Zandt, Ryan Adams If your band was an ice cream flavor, what would it be: Neopolitan with chocolate chunks (a lil sumthin’ for everyone and who doesn’t like chocolate chunks?) Finish this sentence. Music is: “and always will be a force to compel change.”
If your band was an ice cream flavor, what would it be: Garlic Octopus Banana Finish this sentence. Music is: Like sex -- even when it’s bad, it’s still pretty awesome.
Why should you win?: Truth be told, The Drama Kids need to go to Nashville to recover $12.50 owed to guitarist and songwriter, David Paul Zimmer. During a dispute alongside the Cumberland River over a game of pencil-
break, the singer-songwriter bet a fellow musician that he could write the Great Americana Ballad of the Universe while simultaneously twisting tops
Why should you win?: The New 76ers believe that they should go to Nashville for the Americana Music Festival because it would be a great opportunity for them to meet and possibly perform in front of people who may be able to offer a position of help in furthering their musical career. In all honesty, their sound is derived from the traditions of American music which is basically what Americana music is according to the AMA. If you have never heard The New 76ers before, I urge you to attend a live concert and give them a listen. They have much pride being from Tallahassee,FL and would be happy to represent us at the Americana Music Festival!

SARAH MAC BAND Profile Information: Date formed: March 2005 Number of members currently: 3 Genre: Americana (duh.) :) Style: Blues / Americana / Folk Names of current members: Sarah Mac, Charlie Vanture, Claire Swindell Strongest musical influences: Indigo Girls, Janis Joplin, Allman Brothers If your band was an ice cream flavor, what would it be: Vegan Finish this sentence. Music is: “awesome.” Why should you win? Why should we win? We don’t have a clue. We are musicians, not philosophers. Over the past eight years, we
have recorded and performed music that speaks to us with the hope that it speaks to other people. We pour ourselves into everything we do, hoping but never knowing if it will resonate with anybody else. Why should we win? Anything we say would sound like self serving arrogance (and who wants to hear that?). But we do know this. We have an ever growing, loyal fan base who love us. Every time we play a show, we’re awed that people line up to meet us and buy our albums. So, instead of having to store boxes of unsold cds, we’re selling them faster than we can replace them. We love playing music. We love that we have songs that people want to hear at important times in their lives, like weddings or funerals. We love that we write songs that complete strangers say have helped them in hard times. Our new album coming out in September is the best music we have ever done. Going to this conference that happens just one week after releasing our new album would be an amazing opportunity to meet people and expand the scope of what we’re already relentlessly working on. And the timing of it all is freakishly perfect. But asking why we should win? Well, we really can’t answer that. All we can tell you is who we are.

We create music from the world around us, telling stories of the struggles we see, and reflect through songs those deep universal experiences that we all share. All of that creates an eclectic sound that combines rock, folk, reggae, blues, and many others. Each story dictates the sound, and we try not to get in the way.

Trash Cinema
Imagine that: A grindhouse movie with no plot By The Primal Root The “Neo-Grindhouse” genre has emerged as a new avenue for ambitious filmmakers looking to make waves. Catapulted into the mainstream by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez’s double bill “Grindhouse” films like Hell Ride (2008), The Devil’s Rejects (2005), and Hobo with a Shotgun (2011) are all a part of this current hot trend in movie making. These films are trading in on a nostalgia for a time when cinematic offerings and drive-in spectacles offered up no-holds-barred graphic violence, debauchery, gratuitous T&A, an overwhelming sense of nihilism, a certain blow-it-out-with-a-shotgun, fuck-it-all, go-for-broke nastiness, and cynical dark humor. These were the good old days of exploitation cinema where stuff like ‘Ilsa. She Wolf of the SS’, ‘I Spit on Your Grave’, and ‘Pieces’ reigned. A little over twenty years after this genre’s hay day, it has suddenly become popular again for its non-P.C. content and willingness to push boundaries while touching subjects the general movie going masses would rather not see during the Sunday matinee. Enter Atlanta, Georgia independent filmmaker -- and the creative mind behind ‘Dumpster Baby’ and ‘Better Off Bound’ -- Jamie Bickert and his most recent journey into sleaze, ‘Dear God, No!,’ A kind of sociopathic biker gang, home invasion, coming of age, crime spree, action adventure, monster movie blood bath... Think ‘A Trip With the Teacher’ meets ‘Harry and the Hendersons’ by way of ‘Natural Born Killers’ via Russ Meyers’ ‘Mondo Topless’ then eat some mescaline jell-o and you might come some-
where close to the idea. ‘Dear God, No!’ is the tender story of a group of blood thirsty, psychotic bikers that go by the alias, The Impalers. Their long and winding cross-country reign of terror comes to a brutal and bloody end during a shootout at a strip club with rival gang, Satan’s Own. The Impalers lay waste to their rivals who employ at least a half dozen topless women wearing Nixon masks, armed to the areola with tommy guns. It’s a blood and bouncing breast bonanza as The Impalers make their escape and end up seeking refuge in the secluded house of a creepy anthropologist who happens to be hosting a dinner party. You get the impression there’re some very dark secrets of his own hidden within and without his home sweet home... And it’s not long before the bikers begin raping and brutalizing the house guests and, unknowingly, conjuring up the wrath of whatever keeps watch over the house from the surrounding woods. What starts off as a laughably fun, bad movie begins to get a little tedious towards the end point as ‘Dear God,
18/ CapitalCityVillager/ July 20, 2012/ vol. 1 iss. 11/ BE COOL. BUY LOCAL!
No!’ devotes it’s lengthy middle stretch to the torment and torture of the inhabitants of their hideaway. The narrative screeches to a halt to showcase the biker gang’s heinous acts against this hapless family as the timid daughter is made to strip down to her panties and give a lap dance while a pregnant woman is raped and mutilated before our very eyes. All leading up to what? You guessed it! A surprise Sasquatch attack. It’s nonsensical garbage and is a relatively well done ode to poor taste. Let’s just say, it takes a sophisticated palate for this kind of thing. “Dear God, No!” is plentiful when it comes to the Three B’s -- blood, breasts and beasts -- but there’s not much of a story to keep the viewer interested. However, if you’re looking for something cheap, stupid, and gut-crunchingly brutal, then ‘Dear God, No!’ just might be your ticket. Oh, and Bickert is at work on a sequel entitled ‘Frankenstein Created Bikers,’ but after the events of ‘Dear God, No!’ I doubt many characters will be returning. Unless it’s in several meaty chunks. So be sure to check out Atlanta’s own, ‘Dear God, No!,’ a Trash Cinema flick with its spirit down in the filthiest depths of the
dumpster. The movie is available to rent at Tallahassee’s Video 21 located at 1449 East Lafayette Street. Now, if you, or anyone you know, has a low budget, locally made film or local film event you would like me, The Primal Root, to cover and review for the Capital City Villager just drop me a line at t rashcinemacollec t ive@ gmail.com and I will make sure to give your flick a spin!

By Bradley Crocker “Are the buildings bigger there, Daddy?” “Oh yes, little one. They are bigger and more beautiful than you can imagine. ” He patted her on the head and looked around anxiously. “Can Mommy come?” “No, little one. Mommy doesn’t like the place we are going. She didn’t want to come with us.” “How long will we be gone? I didn‘t get to say goodbye.” His palms were damp and he perceived that people were beginning to stare at him. He felt the sting of disapproval from their faces. He looked down at his daughter and beneath his smile was the panic of fear. “I’m not sure. But everything will be okay, as long as you and I are together.” They stepped up to the security checkpoint and he took his cell phone and wallet out, purposefully avoiding looking at the phone. Neither of them had carryon luggage. He stepped through a metal detector and carefully watched the faces of the airport employees as his cell phone was scanned. After he checked in, he took back the passes and hurried into the tunnel, and onto the plane.
II
The plane had been in the air for 2 hours when he finally worked up the nerve. He could not help but feel remorse as he noted the innocence in his daughter. “Put on your seatbelt and close your eyes, little one. Don‘t be scared.”
He pulled his cell phone out, pressed a sequence of keys, and the lights in the cabin flickered. Seconds later, they went out. He fumbled in the dark and pulled the phone apart to remove and activated the device hidden inside. “What’s about to happen is completely normal, little one. Just hold my hand.” With a press of a button, the re-materialization began. She clutched his hand with the fear and trust of an innocent human child. When the process was complete, they had disappeared from their seats and were millions of light years away. He was still holding her hand, but her fear seemed to have been replaced with understanding. She confidently let go. He fell down onto his knees lifelessly, bleeding from his mouth. He struggled to form a word. “Don’t speak, Father. I understand the sacrifice you have made.” Her posture had become tense. She now knew that her father had been genetically designed to mate with a human being and be a nurturing parental. He had served his purpose and he was not meant to survive the return to the planet. He felt scared and alone as his life faded away. She kneeled next to him, still in human form, wiping sweat from his brow. She spoke to him patiently, talking slowly so he could understand amidst the haze of death. “I appreciate the knowledge I have gained through this relocation and the subsequent realization. I will make you proud, Father. But now it’s time to sleep. Goodnight, little one.”
