Jacksonville Opera wins national recognition The Crimson Tide isn’t the only team to gain national recognition recently. An artistic team representing the Jacksonville Opera Theatre (JOT) also recently scored high in a competition by the National Hervey Folsom Opera Artists in Action Association, winning second place in the production division.

Teamwork was one of the important techniques put into play for In A Garden, which the chamber opera performed in the competition. Everything and everyone — from the singing to the directing, to the set design, to the lights — worked well together to create a solid structured offering, say members of the ensemble.

From the perspective of Kaylon Gilley, one of the three singers, the performance exhibited precision and the result of lots of hard work.

“It was a good ensem-

And the ensemble, being small, helped us to interact with each other better.”

Nathan Wight, executive director of JOT, accepted the award earlier this month at NOA’s gala banquet in Memphis, Tenn. In A Garden was presented for the public in the Performance Center in Mason Hall on campus Jan. 15 of

last year, and in June, videos were sent to NOA as for entry in the competition.

The entries were judged on musical accuracy, production values and concept, staging and execution of the opera, actors’ and directors’ sensitivity to music and dramatic style.

of In A Garden. The opera, she said, demanded a high degree of musicianship and vocal flexibility.

The story, which centers on children playing a game, is by Gertrude Stein, who was an American poet of the 20th century.

The composer was Meyer Kupferman, a self-taught American composer and clarinetist. It was with this opera, which premiered in the late 1940s, that the composer first gained attention.

In the plot, two brothers and a girl, their friend, play a game that leads them to pretend death through murder and suicide. The young girl wants to be a queen. The two boys pretend to be kings and inform her that she must be married to a king in order to be a queen. In the fight with each other to win her hand, both are mortally wounded. Even though they are both dead and she is alone now, she decides that she still will be the queen. In the end, the audience is reminded that this was just a game.

It’s a dark scenario but the story has a point, Gilley explained.

agenda with this album. I just hope that people enjoy the music. I know for me, music brings a flavor to life that no other medium can. Most of my memories of the past, good and bad, have some song or some musical genre that I associate with them. I still have songs that I can’t hear without thinking back to a certain vacation or a certain year in school. Even though the artist who wrote or performed those songs will probably never know about it, those songs have added to my life experience. I think that’s a pretty special thing, and hope that someone can say that about my music one day, whether I know it or not.

“The story reminds me that children have such big and vivid imaginations,” Gilley said. “We should pay more attention to them and their games because their creativity and dreams can lead to accomplishments later on.”

was Benjamin Bitten’s The Burning Fiery Furnace, which reflects the story of Daniel and the lion’s den from the Bible.

5 music stars who became movie stars

By By Christy Lemire Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Everyone wants to be a multihyphenate. No one wants to be pigeonholed. And so basketball players try to be rappers and rappers try to be basketball players. Jessica Simpson sells shoes and Jennifer Lopez sells perfume.

But while actors often try to be singers — Eddie Murphy’s “Party All the Time,” anyone? — singers also frequently venture into acting.

Sometimes they carve out impressive second careers for themselves; sometimes, they’re Britney Spears in Crossroads.

Last week, we saw several musicians who’ve made the transition from the recording studio to the big screen. Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton co-star in the gospel comedy Joyful Noise, while Mark Wahlberg plays a master smuggler in Contraband. So here’s a look at five great music stars who became great actors. For sake of argument, performers like Barbra Streisand, Liza Minnelli and even the aforementioned J.Lo, who had their roots in both art forms simultaneously, don’t count. We’re talking about people who were primarily known as singers (or rappers, etc.) and made the leap: Frank Sinatra: The Chairman of the Board was, of course, a major pop star who caused a frenzy among screaming bobbysoxers in the 1940s before crafting a major movie career for himself. Sinatra won an Academy Award for best supporting actor in 1953’s From Here to Eternity and earned a best-actor nomination for 1955’s The Man With the Golden Arm. Early film roles naturally were in musicals, including Anchors Aweigh

Will Smith, above, Cher, top right, and Justin Timberlake, bottom right, are all examples of music stars who made the transition to the silver screen.

(1945) and On the Town (1949) with Gene Kelly.

The original Ocean’s Eleven (1960) allowed him to play it smooth as master thief Danny Ocean, while the political thriller The Manchurian Candidate (1962) probably provided him with his greatest performance.

Will Smith: The former Fresh Prince of Bel-Air transformed himself into a two-time Oscar nominee, going from catchy rap tunes and sitcom laughs to heavyweight roles in Ali and The Pursuit of Happyness. Smith is the epitome of a movie star, with talent and charm for days. He’s proven he can do it all, from comedy (the Men in Black movies) to action (the Bad Boys movies) to romance (Hitch) to sci-fi (I Am Legend) to serious dramas (Seven Pounds). But his first major role, in 1993’s Six Degrees of

Separation, showed he was confident enough to juggle multiple genres within the same film. At this point, I would say he’s crossed over so completely, he’s known more for his acting than for his music.

Bette Midler: The Divine Miss M forged her career belting out tunes on Broadway, at nightclubs and in bathhouses (with a thenunknown Barry Manilow as her accompanist) — a petite woman with a larger-thanlife stage presence. But she wowed the world with her acting abilities in her first major film role in 1979’s The Rose, playing a self-destructive, drug-addicted rock star inspired by Janis Joplin. The performance earned her an Oscar nomination for best actress; a second nomination would come for 1991’s For the Boys. Standout comic roles include Down

and Out in Beverly Hills, Outrageous Fortune and The First Wives Club. And just try to watch Beaches without crying.

Cher: She’s a diva who’s had highs and lows and been around forever. But Cher was a singer and variety television star (with then-husband Sonny Bono) known for her big, flamboyant personality before putting together a string of strong, eclectic film performances in the ’80s and ’90s, including Mask, The Witches of Eastwick and Tea With Mussolini. She won a bestactress Oscar as the hardheaded Loretta in 1987’s

Moonstruck (and before that was nominated for best supporting actress for 1983’s Silkwood). Her last film role was ... well, it was providing the voice of a lioness under Kevin James’ care in 2011’s Zookeeper. But Cher is always full of surprises, so — as her Burlesque ballad goes — we haven’t seen the last of her.

Justin Timberlake: I was very tempted to put Dwight Yoakam in this spot. Or Mos Def, or even Ice Cube. But JT is just too powerful. He has long since transcended his “Mickey Mouse Club” and boy-band origins to become not just a formi-

dable solo performer but also an actor of surprising range. Following dramatic supporting roles in Alpha Dog and Black Snake Moan, he was charismatic as hell as the ambitious Sean Parker in The Social Network. This year, he proved he can be both a romantic lead (Friends With Benefits) and an action star (In Time), while reinforcing his strengths as a comedian (“Bad Teacher”). And then there are his Saturday Night Live appearances, which — granted — spoof his popstar youth, but they also allow him to show off that sharp comic timing.

Anthony Green, Beautiful Things (Photo Finish) Circa Survive frontman Anthony Green has always had a voice that you could pick out of a crowd, higher than most, with a sweetness cut with danger. On his solo album Beautiful Things, Green makes the most of it, dropping it into all sorts of musical situations — from triumphant alt-rock (“Can’t Have It All at Once”) to a cappella folk (“Do It Right”)

to space-reggae (“When I’m on Pills”). He handles it all with ease, helping all these divergent styles hang together to create a unique, beautiful thing.

HOT SONG Jason Mraz’s “I Won’t Give Up” (Atlantic) is destined to be a smash across multiple formats — a simple, timeless ballad that is immediately recognizable and completely memorable. The acoustic version (there’s apparently also an electric version that may end up on his forthcoming album) balances the tender chorus (“I won’t give up on us, even if the skies get rough. I’m giving you all my love. I’m still looking up.”) with a slicker chorus that should keep all sorts of fans happy.

‘Extremely Loud’ doesn’t just use 9/11 as backdrop

By Roger Moore MCT News Service

A bright, socially awkward boy tries to make sense of 9/11 and find some closure with the father he lost on what he calls “the worst day” in Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. The film, based on a Jonathan Safran Foer novel, is a sometimes tearful remembrance of that day and the lives it ended or forever disrupted. And while it flirts with the preciousness that comes with Foer novels (Everything is Illuminated), it is engrossing and emotional in ways no other 9/11 drama has managed.

Oskar (Thomas Horn), our hero and narrator, is a tween who was once tested for Asperger’s Syndrome, but those tests were “inconclusive.” He’s a loner who thinks and thinks and thinks; his sympathetic dad (Tom Hanks) had figured out a way to bring him out of his shell. Dad’s fanciful quests, “reconnaissance expeditions,” send the kid into Central Park in search of New York’s lost “sixth borough,” and the like. Oskar must meet and chat with all sorts of strangers to complete his mission.

But those missions might have come to an end

the day his mom (Sandra Bullock) buried “an empty box.”

Oskar’s morbid visions of his father tumbling through the air threaten to overwhelm his memories of Dad. Then, he stumbles across a key in an envelope, which he takes as his last expedition, a years-long quest (he can do the math of the search), trying to find that one New Yorker named “Black” who has the lock that key might fit.

Touchingly, every New Yorker he visits has that post-9/11 empathy. All Oskar has to do is say “He was in the building ... on 9/11,” and they take him in — talk to him, hug him or at the very least, cut this pushy know-it-all child some slack.

“Every day is a miracle,” one kind lady tells him.

He charts their addresses, photographs them and creates intricate scrapbooks out of the quest. One (Viola Davis) he meets on the day her husband (Jeffrey Wright) is moving out. Others are old, infirm, rich, poor, part of big families, or testy and alone. His indulgent grandmother (Zoe Caldwell) assists. And her silent renter (Max Von Sydow) pitches in. They’re helping a child who doesn’t even know it cope with the all-consuming fear that 9/11 brought him.

“You can get blown to pieces by people who don’t even know you,” is his excuse for never using public transport, for wincing when he sees a plane pass overhead.

Director Stephen Daldry (The Hours) is over-reliant on the boy’s narration, something necessitated by his loner status and the nature of the book. Daldry got an insufferable performance out of young Mr. Horn — a onetime Jeopardy! champ — and fine work out of Davis, Von Sydow and especially Bullock, who makes us feel the loss, 10 years later.

And Hanks, whose performance is sympathetic in the flashbacks, is even better in scenes that only use his voice — a man, trapped in a doomed tower, leaving voicemail messages so that his family won’t worry.

The mysteries aren’t that mysterious and some may have a hard time embracing its abrasive hero. But Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close doesn’t just use 9/11 as a backdrop and emotional ploy. The event is a protagonist in the film. And there is just enough distance from the event, and just enough heart to this story, to help us all with something a decade hasn’t brought us any closer to understanding.

But in a good way.

LOS ANGELES — The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has winnowed 63 eligible foreign-language films down to nine potential contenders for the best foreign-language film at the 2012 Oscars. Golden Globe winner A Separation made the cut, but China’s Flowers of War didn’t make the cut, nor did Mexico’s Miss Bala.

The nine contenders are Belgium’s Bullhead, from director Michael R. Roskam; Canada’s Monsieur Lazhar, from director Philippe Falardeau; Denmark’s SuperClasico, from director Ole Christian Madsen; Germany’s Pina, from director Wim Wenders; Iran’s A Separation, from director Asghar Farhadi; Israel’s Footnote, from director Joseph Cedar; Morocco’s Omar Killed Me, from director Roschdy Zem; Poland’s In Darkness, from director Agnieszka Holland; and Taiwan’s Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale, from director Wei Te-sheng.

Several hundred Los Angeles-based members screened the 63 eligible films between mid-October and Jan. 13 and chose their six top films. The academy’s Foreign Language Award Executive Committee then added three additional selections to fill out the ultimate shortlist.

Phase two of nominations will involve specially invited committees in New York and Los Angeles spending today through Sunday viewing three films each day and casting their ballots.

The five nominees will be announced Tuesday.

The laudable ‘Red Tails’ misses its target

By Jake Coyle Associated Press

In Red Tails, the famed Tuskegee Airmen get the John Wayne-style heroic rendering they very much deserve, but in a hackneyed and weirdly context-less story that does them a disservice.

Long a pet project of his, George Lucas self-financed the film and has said he hopes Red Tails will prove there’s an audience for all-black movies. That’s a laudable goal, but Red Tails reduces a historical story of deep cultural significance to merely a flyboy flick.

Instead of creating something authentic and new, Red Tails superimposes the tale of the black World War II pilots on a dated, white genre of 1940s patriotic propaganda. Red Tails is blatantly old-fashioned, just with a change in color.

In medias res hardly says it: Red Tails opens in the midst of an aerial dog fight while the credits are still rolling. Director Anthony Hemingway plunges right into the action, skipping all

ers. Sixty-six were killed in action.

Their bravery helped persuade President Harry S. Truman to desegregate the military in 1948. Some 300 of them are still alive, and most, by invitation, attended President Barack Obama’s inauguration.

Our group of thinly sketched pilots all come with cliché nicknames: Joe “Lightning” Little (David Oyelowo), Marty “Easy” Julian (Nate Parker), Ray Photos by 20th Century Fox/Associated Press “Junior” Gannon (Tristan TOP: The Tuskegee airmen fly in a scene from ‘Red Wilds), Andrew “Smoky” Tails.’ ABOVE: Cuba Gooding Jr. portrays Major Salem (Ne-Yo), Maurice “Bumps” Wilson (Michael B.

rating: PG-13 for some sequences of war violence Running time: 2:05 Starring: Cuba Gooding Jr., Terrence Howard, Ne-Yo work with David Simon on The Wire and Treme. One of the pleasures of Red Tails is seeing familiar Wire actors on the big screen, including Wilds, Jordan and Andre Royo, who plays a mechanic.

Surely, theater etiquette allows for the exception of shouting out “Bubbles!” at the first glimpse of Royo.

The biggest flaw here is the corny script by John Ridley and Aaron McGruder, the Boondocks cartoonist.

There’s a fine, swaggering vibe, but a curious hesitance to really tell the Tuskegee story. Half of their two-front war (at home and in battle) goes largely without depiction, except for one or two minor scrapes with racist officers. Neither is any hint given to the less than rapturous welcoming the men

would get on their return home.

The whole thing is unrealistically sunny, both literally and metaphorically. The skies are always bright blue (better for highlighting the digital trickery) and hardly anyone dies. Though this is film about one of the most violent clashes in history, little seems at risk. The racist generals (Bryan Cranston makes a cameo as one) are back in Washington and the free, Italian base is a happy world away from the segregated U.S. The German fighters are cartoonishly evil.

But ever since Star Wars, Lucas and his Industrial Light and Magic effects house have always specialized in aerial combat — and Red Tails is no exception.

The dogfights are elegant and clearly staged, set against a majestic European landscape.

Red Tails might smother the Tuskegee Airmen in the tropes of old Hollywood, but there’s still inspiration to be found in seeing those tropes acted out with goodwill and fresh faces.

Alba keeps it ‘Honest’ with eco-friendly products

By Alicia Rancilio Associated Press

NEW YORK — Jessica Alba has another new baby. She’s launched an e-commerce company at Honest. com (named after her 3-year-old daughter Honor) to sell eco-friendly and toxic-free baby products and household items for a monthly subscription.

Alba, who welcomed her second daughter Haven in 2011, said Tuesday the idea was born after she learned that toxic chemicals are in widely used, everyday products.

“I would buy what I thought was like an eco-brand and pay out the wazoo for it and then find out that it’s made with the same ingredients as any other brand, but the packaging is a little more biodegradable and you’re like ‘But I care about the product touching my kid. Is that OK?’” She decided the best solution was to make available the kinds of products she would buy. To launch the business, she partnered with author and environmentalist Christopher Gavigan, ShoeDazzle founder Brian Lee and PriceGrabber.com executive Sean Kane.

The 30-year-old actress said the venture is “hands down” more nerve-racking than the opening of a new movie but also more gratifying.

“I came up with the idea. I had to pitch it to my partners and they came on board and together we created the company from scratch,” she said. “From the packaging to the bottles to the product that’s inside, the way that the interfacing is with the website, all of that is really from me ... it’s taken three years to get here.”

To make a purchase, consumers sign up on Honest.com and choose from subscription packages for products including diapers, shampoo and laundry detergent. The products are then delivered monthly to the buyer’s door.

Alba plans to expand the line based on customer feedback.

George Lucas’ ‘Red

n e m r i A e e Tails’ brings to light the historic battles of the Tuskeg

Special to The Star

hey say that imitation is the greatest form of flattery. But in Hollywood, no greater prestige can be bestowed upon true historic events than with the phrase, “Inspired by …”

Such is the fate of a little-known band of airborne iconoclasts about whom Hollywood has finally taken notice. Red Tails, opening today, is Star Wars creator George Lucas’ 23-year labor of love. It tells the story of the Tuskegee Airmen, the first black American fighter pilots, created to fail — but destined for greatness — in an experiment by a segregated U.S. military during World War II. In a recent interview with USA Today, Lucas talked about being shot down by numerous studios and his ultimate decision to spend $58 million of his own money to bring his vision of Red Tails to the screen.

“For me, Red Tails is like Flying Leathernecks,” he said, referring to the 1951 John Wayne film. “It’s corny. It’s über-patriotic.

And it’s a really exciting action-adventure movie. As for the racism in our story, it’s

embedded in the material, so we just had to be careful not to overdo it.”

The movie focuses on the exploits of the 332nd Fighter Group based at the Ramitelli Air Base in Italy, following the pilots as they escort bombers on vital missions in enemy territory, shoot down German airplanes and blow up targets such as trains and ships whenever possible.

The movie stars a mostly African-American cast, featuring Terrence Howard, Cuba Gooding Jr. and several young actors who play fictional versions of the pilots, mechanics and commanding officers of the 332nd.

And while Lucas’ film addresses the issues of racism, his larger goal was simply to tell the story of the Airmen in a way that would make a younger generation take an interest in their little celebrated achievements.

“I have only one agenda, and that’s for a lot of young people to see this movie,” Lucas told USA Today. “I think kids who see this, be they black or white, will walk out thinking (the Airmen) were cool.”

In fact, the Tuskegee Airmen were heroes, never losing a single bomber to enemy fighters during escort missions over strategic targets in Europe.

The success of the Airmen on more than 15,000 sorties and 1,500 missions proved to the world that black men could be brave aviators and eventually led to the integration of the armed forces in 1948. Pilots often referred to the Airmen’s missions as “Double V,” meaning a victory over Adolph Hitler and his Nazi regime as well as a victory over racism at home.

In 1939, the U.S. government created Civilian Pilot Training Programs to provide a surplus of pilots in case of a national emergency; African-Americans were allowed to train, although trained at segregated facilities such as Moton Field in Tuskegee, which has since become a national historic site. In time, this experiment became known as the “Tuskegee Experience” — a term that was adopted and characterized the period of 1939-1949.

It took 36 weeks to become one of the Tuskegee Airmen, making the transition from aviation cadet to certified military pilot. And while their skills at home may not have been recognized, the Red Tails — so named for because pilots painted the tails of their P-47s red — were respected by the German enemies who referred to the fighter pilots as the “Schwarze Vogelmenschen”

(Black Birdmen).

By the end of the Tuskegee Experiment, it was obvious that the military’s plan to prove black men couldn’t fly was a colossal failure.

The numbers speak for themselves — 965 black men graduated from the pilot training program with 450 of them serving overseas. Nearly 900 awards were earned by the Tuskegee Airmen, including one Silver Star, one Legion of Merit, 95 Distinguished Flying Crosses, two soldiers medals, 14 Bronze Stars, eight Purple Hearts and 744 Air Medals with Oak Leaf Clusters.

Though Red Tails reduces years of adventures into a couple of hours, it gets the spirit of the Tuskegee Airmen right, said Dr. Brian Smith, director of the Tuskegee Airmen National Museum in an article for the Detroit Free Press.

“I think what it shows is a superhero, and that’s what America needs to understand about these men, that they actually did superhuman things during the war,” he said.

“Tie that together with the racism they had to suffer. They were out there fighting for people who didn’t even like them, much less love them.”
