Beyond the glass slipper

By Brett Buckner Special to The Star

Think you know Cinderella — she of the glass slipper, fairy godmother, handsome prince and those spiteful stepsisters?

Well, think again.

There is more to this fairy princess than the happily ever after as it was first imagined by Disney, at least according to the latest original production written

by Jacksonville State University assistant professor Eric Traynor.

“Cinderella’s Big Dream,” which runs July 10-14 at JSU’s Stone Center, takes the famous tale and gives it a girl-power twist.

“I started thinking about the fairytale role models for girls that

always revolve around marrying the handsome prince and somehow that justifies everything,” Traynor said. “So I wondered what would happen if Cinderella said ‘no’ to the prince and decided to go to college and become a doctor.”

That’s essentially where the story takes off.

“Cinderella’s happy ending is that she gets a college scholarship rather than getting married right away,” Traynor said. “Young girls need to see that they can do their own thing and don’t need to wait to be rescued.”

Of course, it wouldn’t be Cinderella without the nasty stepmother and those wicked stepsisters, who, in Traynor’s reboot, have gone through something

of a name, as well as a personality change. In “Cinderella’s Big Dream” the stepmother is named Gingivitis (Gingy), and her daughters are Rosacea (Rosy), Rubella (Ruby) and Salmonella (Sally).

“The stepsisters aren’t so much mean as they are kinda dumb,” admitted JSU senior Katie Daniels, who plays Gingivitis.

“They just live in their own little fantasy world where things never seem to work out the way they planned it.”

The opportunity to take such a beloved story and turn it on its ear was a welcomed challenge, Daniels said.

“It’s been beyond fun,” she said. “You know people are

Andy Griffith passing: TV’s pioneers fading into history

By Rene Lynch Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — With Andy Griffith’s passing, America loses one of its last living links to the early days of television.

“This is a big one,” pop culture expert Robert J. Thompson said. “Andy Griffith was just one person. But he’s symbolic of that era. With his death, the early days of television have receded into history and the stuff of museums, and directors’ commentary on DVD.” To be sure, there are a few icons left who can speak about the start of traditional commercial network programming back in 1948, such as Dick Van Dyke and Sid Caesar.

“But that generation has pretty much disappeared now,” said Thompson, director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture at Syracuse University. “If you want to learn about that time, you just can’t call people up who were involved with it anymore.”

Thompson said “The Andy Griffith Show,” which ran from 1960 to 1968, is easily one of the best shows — if not the single best — ever on TV. “If I were to make a list of the greatest shows on TV, you’ve got ‘Your Show of Shows,’ and ‘I Love Lucy’ and so on,” he said. “But at the very top of that heap I would put ‘The Andy Griffith Show.’ That, to me, is one of the most exquisitely executed series of all time.”

But the biggest compliment, Thompson said, is that the show stands the test of time.

“If you watch that show today, I swear

Griffith, whose homespun mix of humor and wisdom made ‘The Andy Griffith Show’ an enduring TV favorite, died Tuesday in Manteo, N.C. He was 86. that thing goes down as smoothly now as it went down half a century ago,” he said. “If you watch one or two (episodes), it’s really hard not to get sucked in.”

Thompson suggests trying to seek out the first season of the show. Viewers might be surprised to find Griffith playing the role of a small town sheriff named Andy Taylor with more of a goofball bent. But it soon

became clear that the show’s ensemble cast was the perfect showcase for the comic genius of Don Knotts, who played Taylor’s deputy, Barney Fife.

Now, Griffith could have tried to compete with Knotts — after all, the show was called “The Andy Griffith Show.” But, Thompson said, Griffith was wise enough to step back and let Knotts shine.

But audiences who come to see “Cinderella’s Big Dream” won’t sit idly by. They will be expected to participate as both a prince and third stepsister,

In the end, it served both men’s careers handsomely.

“Andy became more of the straight man,” Thompson said. “Andy had the modesty and the intelligence as an actor to adjust. ... That made his character such a paternal, fatherly, likeable, warm, fuzzy character, and that’s why people responded so much to that show and that role.”

Rosacea, are pulled from the crowd. And while that can be fun, it also adds an element of unpredictability to the show. In addition to its performance at JSU, “Cinderella’s Big Dream” is being presented in libraries across the state and Florida. During a recent library show, a young girl was pulled from the audience and was all ready to perform … until she looked out onto the sea of eyes staring back at her. That was when she decided she simply couldn’t go on.

“But without breaking stride, Katie (Daniels), pulled her aside and pulled another child from the crowd onto the stage,” Traynor

said. “Thinking on their feet, learning to ad lib, it’s an amazing opportunity presented in this show that these actors wouldn’t normally find in a traditional theater setting.”

And Daniels said that’s what she appeals to her about performing in front of such audiences.

“I love it,” she said. “My main goal in life is to suck in as many people as possible into the theater as possible to show them that theater isn’t always Shakespeare.

It doesn’t have to be so serious and stuff. It can be fun and this is the perfect show to prove that.”

New ‘Spider-Man’ snares $7.5M in midnight shows Associated Press LOS ANGELES — The new Spider-Man has launched with the same midnight magic as the old one.

“The Amazing Spider-Man” pulled in $7.5 million from its debut screenings Tuesday just after midnight.

According to distributor Sony Pictures, that matches the amount that “Spider-Man 3” took in from its first midnight screenings in 2007 on the way to what was then a record $151.1 million opening weekend.

Midnight screenings generally have become bigger business since then, hitting a peak as fans shelled out $43.5 million for midnight shows of the “Harry Potter” finale last summer.

While “The Amazing Spider-Man” is well back in the pack by comparison, its midnight debut hints at strong box office through the Fourth of July weekend, with industry expectations as high as $120 million in its first six days.

“The Amazing Spider-Man” opened last week in 13 overseas markets, pulling in about $50 million through the weekend.

The new movie is a fresh start for the Marvel Comics superhero, retelling teen orphan Peter Parker’s encounter with a mutant spider whose bite endows the youth with strength, agility and heightened senses.

Andrew Garfield plays Peter, taking over from Tobey Maguire, who starred in Sony’s previous three “SpiderMan” films directed by Sam Raimi.

Bobby Womack makes his return with ‘Bravest Man’

By Chris Talbott Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Bobby Womack has been frustrated.

He’s relaunching his career after what amounts to a twodecade, self-imposed exile and he can’t get his doctor to cooperate. There’s so much to do, Womack says in a gravelly voice, which has aged like the most expensive single-malt whiskey.

Yet his doctor has ordered him to shut down for nearly two weeks — an eternity for a restless man seeking a rare second act at age 68.

“Can I tell you the honest truth? I’ve been through a lot, more than I’ve ever been through in my life, in the last two months,” Womack says in a telephone interview from his Los Angeles home. “You know, I had prostate cancer, then they got rid of that and discovered I had colon cancer. Then after that my lungs completely shut down and they had to put me on a machine and I was out in a coma for 10 days. Then after that I had walking pneumonia — twice. So there’s only so much the body can take. I want to go back to work, but the doctor says, ‘Man, you’ve got to rest 10 days and not do NOTHING.’ He said, ‘Because we done lost you,’ and he said, ‘It’s a miracle you’re walking around.’”

And Womack can’t disagree, especially when you take the long view.

A gospel and soul singer, a songwriter and a guitar player with few peers, Womack is largely a forgotten figure today — but one who is getting a close re-examination. His new album, “The Bravest Man in the Universe,” was produced by Damon Albarn, and Womack has ambitious plans for a tour later this year — if his body and doctor cooperate.

His return is a welcome development for those who recognize his deep contributions to modern music — as Sam Cooke’s guitarist, the writer of the Rolling Stones’ first hit and someone who scored many of his own

Matt Sayles/Associated Press

Musician Bobby Womack sits with his dogs, a French bull dog named Music, left, and a pug named Wo in Los Angeles. With health and drug problems behind him, Womack makes his return with a new album, ‘The Bravest Man in the Universe.’

during his solo career. Some worried Womack might not have the same vitality that made him one of the most inspiring and imitated artists of his generation.

And even Womack wondered sometimes. He admits to having seizures during his tour with Albarn’s Gorillaz several years ago and his health problems loomed large.

“Yet as so often is the case with Bobby,” said Mark Rowland, executive producer of the “Unsung” series, “he gets counted out over and over in different ways throughout his career, and yet he keeps coming back.”

The “Unsung” episode that aired in January on TV One featuring Womack was among the most watched and commented upon in the series.

“There’s so much to say about his music and there’s so much to say about his life,” Rowland said.

“He’s had a life that’s really even more dramatic than some of the more dramatic aspects of the songs he’s written.”

Womack hopes for a little

drama in the next chapter of his career and calls “Bravest Man” “a fresh start.” It’s his first collection of original material in 18 years — since he quit the life to save his life. He gave up music because he was addicted to drugs and alcohol. Drugs and music. Music and drugs. The two were so intrinsically entwined, he felt the only way to really quit one was to give up the other.

He released a few albums of others’ material during this hiatus, but it wasn’t until Albarn tapped him for his Gorillaz side project that Womack caught the fever again. The way he sees it, he’s carrying the torch for all those friends who fell victim to the lifestyle or were forgotten by time.

“I’ve got to represent some of the greatest soul singers that ever walked in life. I still feel that they don’t get their propers for what really happened,” he said. “Since I’ve outlived 90 percent of those people, I said, ‘Let me make a statement.’”

“The Bravest Man in the

Universe” is a broadside at soul traditionalists looking for a recreation of something Womack might have dropped in the 1960s or ’70s at the height of his influence. Programmed beats and electronic sounds skitter behind Womack’s voice and a smattering of traditional instruments, including piano and Womack’s guitar.

Richard Russell, Albarn’s co-producer on “Bravest Man,” thinks their work fits right into the spirit of Womack’s career. He calls it “organic and earthy.”

“I didn’t see what we were doing being in any way any type of radical departure from what he’s ever done before, and I’ve been quite surprised at some of the feedback to it which has suggested that it is that,” Russell said in a phone interview from London. “Bobby’s always made rhythmic records that have always been modern at the point he’s been doing them, right? Bobby’s never made retro records and there’s no reason why he should now.”

Womack entered the 2011 recording sessions for the album with an open mind and knew they’d be using programmed beats. But he admitted the recording style employed by Albarn, the Blur frontman, and Russell, the XL Recordings owner, took some getting used to.

The trio sat down together in the round, joined by Womack’s writing partner Harold Payne, and hammered out arrangements as they went. Womack worried they were moving too quickly, but says he loved the final product.

“As loooong as the most dominant thing is there and that’s your vocals and your lyrics — that’s your story — that’s all that matters,” Womack said. “Ain’t nobody going to be listening to who programmed the drums or who did the piano. They don’t care. They’re just listening to the basic song itself. And when you hear me sing, even if you’ve only heard me sing once, you know my voice.”

Ones,” he takes even more of a back seat than usual. But that’s not the only problem: some of the tracks “contain elements” of various songs, making the album sound like something you’ve heard before — many times.

“Wild Ones” sounds like it accidentally ingested beats from David Guetta or Pitbull; it’s a confused mesh of rock, rap and dance music.

Not even the J. Lo-assisted “Sweet Spot” stands out from the crowd of diluted European dance sounds. The title track is somewhat enjoyable, but that’s thanks to Sia’s per-

formance on its hook.

“Whistle,” the album’s third single, is slightly danceable, but the metaphor it presents for dark corner activity doesn’t even come close to the catchiness of 50 Cent’s “Candy Shop,” a gem of sexual innuendo.

The album’s worst offender is the international hit “Good Feeling.” It samples Etta James’ “Something’s Got a Hold on Me” — but it’s sonically identical to the dance jam “Levels” by Swedish DJproducer Avicii. Side effects from listening to the tune might include a chronic case of deja vu and confusion.

CHECK THIS TRACK OUT: “Thinking of You” is smooth and calm, almost like a reverie.

Which Spidey is better?

Sony Pictures via Associated Press

Andrew Garfield portrays Peter Parker and Spider-Man in a scene from ‘The Amazing Spider-Man.’

There’s really no comparing …

By Anthony Cook acook@annistonstar.com

Tobey Maguire or Andrew Garfield?

Kirsten Dunst or Emma Stone?

Rosemary Harris or Sally Field?

I went to the midnight premier this week of the latest big-screen installment of Stan Lee’s comic book superhero, “The Amazing Spider-Man.” Just when you thought the first trilogy had mined all the worthy material from the classic comic, the reboot arrives as somewhat of a prequel that revisits Spidey’s origin and the death of Uncle Ben, but also explores an untouched part of Peter Parker’s story — the mysterious deaths of his parents, Richard and Mary Parker.

As a fan first of the comic books and then of the original Spider-Man movies, I went in, with much anticipation, prepared to judge this movie on how well it matches up to the previous series.

Who’s the better Peter Parker?

Who’s the better love interest?

Who’s the better Aunt May?

The amazing spider-man HHH rating: PG-13 for sequences of action and violence Running time: 2:18 Starring: Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Martin Sheen, Sally Field Which is the better movie?

First of all, there’s no J. Jonah Jameson this time around. The job of convincing everyone that the web-swinger is a menace to society falls to Denis Leary who plays the duty-driven police Capt. Stacy, the father of Peter Parker’s love interest, Gwen Stacy, played by Emma Stone.

There’s also no red-head bombshell.

This high school genius version of Peter Parker falls for Gwen Stacy, who was actually his first love in the comic books.

But more than his love affairs with Mary Jane and Gwen Stacy, it was always his relationship with Aunt May that most showed Peter Parker’s tender and vulnerable humanity.

Rosemary Harris was very believable in the role of Peter’s aunt, but Sally Field refuses to be outdone, playing the younger but still strong and wise matriarch.

Then there’s the bad guy.

The comic books seem to have no end of super-powered psychos looking to make New York City their stomping ground, and “The Amazing Spider-Man” has one of the wall-crawler’s most deadly enemies — the Lizard. He’s as vicious and conflicted as any of the original villains.

Garfield’s Peter Parker is a little darker than the unassuming Maguire, more of an awkward loner than a love-struck nerd.

The action is stylish and fast and powerful, although the fight scenes with the Lizard don’t quite match the subway scene of “Spider-Man 2” when he rumbles with Doc Ock. The web-swinging scenes through the city are still the breathtaking fantasy you long to see when you read the comic books.

The undercurrent of the entire movie is the mystery of what happened with Peter Parker’s parents. What dark secrets lurk

behind the walls of OsCorp? There are myriad clues throughout this installment that let you know there are more installments in the works.

But what about this one? Is it as good, or even better than the first three?

At the end of the day, there’s no comparison ... because they shouldn’t be compared.

The reason to see any Spider-Man movie is for the timeless story about a troubled teenage boy who gets bitten by a radioactive spider.

Whose newfound powers don’t make his problems go away, but adds to them.

Who wants to do the right thing, even if it means his own unhappiness.

He falls, he scars, he bleeds.

He’s one of us.

As much as we cheer for this accidental guardian who must rescue the city of New York over and over again, this time around the person we most need Spider-Man to save is Peter Parker.

‘Rocko’ appeals to both kids, adults

By Rick Bentley McClatchy Newspapers

The DVD pickings — maybe a result of the July 4 holiday — are thin this week.

“Rocko’s Modern Life: Season Three,” Grade B: The 13 episodes include Rocko, Spunky, Heffer and Filburt getting involved with a murder investigation involving the Bigheads.

This is a wonderful animated series that’s fun for children and funny to adults. Finding that balance is tough and when a product comes along that balances the halves so well, it should not be missed.

Series creator Joe Murray provides a commentary track for the episodes that originally aired on Nickelodeon. The series also includes marvelous voice work by Carlos Alazraqui, Tom Kenny and Doug Lawrence.

“Joe + Belle,” Grade C+: The dark comedy from writer/director Veronica Kedar starts with great promise when two women accidentally kill someone and struggle to get rid of the body.

The two women — Joe (Kedar), a drug dealer, and Belle (Sivan Levy), a suicidal mental patient — are different but share enough similar angst that they make a compelling pair.

Their relationship slowly grows through the trials of their own making.

Kedar just doesn’t have a good handle on how to end the movie. What starts at as a very smart “meet cute” turns into a serious of mismatched moments that meander to the end.

“The Casserole Club,”

Grade D: A weekly get together in ’60s suburbia to compare recipes turns into a sexual foray sparked by booze and drugs. Each member of the group brings their own secrets to the event which play out as they play around.

Everything about this film is clunky from the choppy way it was filmed to the acting. Even the attempts to portray the rabid sexuality of the time comes across like a love making Mad Libs.

The only saving grace is former Backstreet Boys member Kevin Richardson.

His performance as a twisted and broken member of the dinner-and-debauchery group is the only one that shows any acting skills.

‘Savages’ is Stone at his best — most of the time

By Christopher Kelly McClatchy Newspapers

At least until its tacked-on happy ending, “Savages” is a tightly wound and vastly entertaining pulp thriller — it’s perhaps director Oliver Stone’s strongest work since “Nixon” (1995). Freed from the burden of having to say something “important” — a burden that deflated his Sept. 11 drama “World Trade Center” (2006) and prevented his underrated George Bush biopic “W.” (2008) from reaching potentially ecstatic heights — Stone gets back to what he does best, mixing brash showmanship with gleeful provocation.

“Savages” doesn’t have the moral imagination and emotion reach of his greatest works, “Born on the Fourth of July” (1989), “JFK” (1991) and “Natural Born Killers” (1994) — but it’s propelled by the same halfcrazed energy and purposefulness. This director is never better than when he’s rooting at our rawest societal nerves.

Based on Don Winslow’s 2010 novel, the film hearkens back to those 1980s, Stonescripted efforts like “8 Million Ways To Die” and “Scarface,” movies about the sinister allure of hard drugs and big money. In Laguna Beach, Calif., the short-tempered war veteran Chon (Taylor Kitsch) and his do-gooder, Berkeley-grad best buddy Ben (Aaron Johnson) have become low-level drug kingpins, cultivating a higher-class brand of pot with seeds from Afghanistan.

Chon and Ben live an idyllic life with the beautiful Ophelia (Blake Lively), O for short, whom they both share as a girlfriend, mostly insulated from the seedier aspects of the drug trade.

The opening section of “Savages” moves with bullet-speed, complete with rapid-fire edited flashbacks and a pair of fairly graphic sex scenes. Stone takes particular delight in the gym-toned, sun-bronzed bodies of his three leads; the movie — as its title suggests — is about how we’re all savages at heart, motivated by sex, food and illicit stimulation, and willing to get brutally violent when our sanctity is threatened. And when a powerful Mexican cartel reaches out to Chon and Ben, eager to become business partners — things turn very violent indeed.

One of the smartest things about the screenplay adaptation (by Stone, Winslow and Shane Salerno) is that, even as it posits a fantasy scenario of wealthy white kids running up against Mexican cartels, it doesn’t flinch from the realities of a war on drugs that’s beset by corruption and unimaginable cruelty. The cartel is run

It’s only in the final stretch that the movie stumbles, when Stone serves up one ending and then doubles back and serves up another. The first ending is right out of the novel, and had he cut himself off there, Stone might have given us one of the most powerful nihilistic visions of a world turned upside down since his own “Natural Born Killers.” Instead, he opts for an unconvincing, let’s-tie-up-all-the-bows coda — a sop to the Hollywood bean counters and a betrayal of everything that comes before it.

Make no mistake, even with that botched finale, “Savages” is eminently worth seeing. Check out of the theater five minutes before it actually ends, though, and you may think you’ve witnessed the best American movie of the year.

Katy Perry performing with dancers in a scene from her 3-D film,’Katy Perry: Part of Me.’

In ‘Part of Me,’ an incomplete Katy Perry

By Jake Coyle Associated Press

It’s a good thing the makers of “Katy Perry: Part of Me” aren’t in politics. They’d probably steal the election.

“Part of Me” and its forerunner, “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never,” are mesmerizing pieces of pop propaganda. Both 3-D concert films give a reality TVstyle portrait of a young star, scrubbed clean, at the pinnacle of pop: touring sold-out arenas while making Herculean sacrifices, always finding time for their fans and goofing around with their entourages of stylists and assistants.

They’re unabashedly commercial movies made about unabashedly commercial enterprises. And yet they’re kind of fascinating.

That’s because “Part of Me” is as good a document you’re likely

katy perry: Part of me HH1/2 rating: PG for some suggestive content, language, thematic elements and brief smoking Running time: 1:37 Starring: Katy Perry to find of modern pop stardom: how it’s packaged, how it’s sold and what kind of power it holds over screaming ’tween girls.

The film, directed by reality show veterans Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz (the pair produced “Never Say Never,” as well as shows like “Top Chef” and “Project Runway”), follows Perry’s 2011 California Dreams world tour. The 124-concert extravaganza came on the heels of her hit album “Teenage Dream,” the only album to chart five No. 1

hits for a female performer.

A large chunk of the film is made up of 3-D footage of the concerts (songs like “Firework” and “California Gurls”) performed on candy-colored stages that look like Willy Wonka threw up on. (All of the footage was shot by other filmmakers and later assembled by Cutforth and Lipsitz, who came aboard only to stitch the film together in editing.)

But much of the documentary is spent telling “Katy’s story,” and certainly, the blue-haired, dinner-plate-eyed 27-year-old makes for a compelling character. Raised by traveling Pentecostal ministers, Perry first tried Christian songwriting as a 13-year-old and later, in Los Angeles, went through various incarnations before emerging as a star with “I Kissed a Girl.”

As artificial as much of the apparatus surrounding Perry

may be, none of it works without her charisma at the center. That comes through in “Part of Me,” as does her intense drive to succeed after early failures. Many of those who helped along the way are here to sing her praises and take credit for their foresight of her talent, like her slick manager Bradford Cobb.

“Part of Me,” though, doesn’t succeed as a full picture of Perry.

A less PG-friendly, more complicated version of the star surely exists off-screen. The film often feels like a tease, showing only, well, part of Perry.

The “money shot” of the film is when cameras catch Perry crying in her dressing room following her split from husband Russell Brand (who’s seen fleetingly backstage).

It’s an honest moment. The finest shot of “Part of Me” is Perry seconds before she goes on stage that night in Sao Paulo,

Brazil, bent over sobbing and then seconds later — with the professionalism of a true performer — papering over the heartbreak with a broad smile while chants for “Kay-Tee!” roar and the peppermint-colored wheels on her dress start to spin.

The moment would mean more if it was accompanied by more context of Perry’s emotional life, rather than served up as evidence of her humility.

But that’s the sleight of hand of “Part of Me,” which can even use genuine sorrow to feign depth.

Watching “Part of Me” through aqua- and pink-colored 3-D glasses in a crowd of girls singing along, Perry’s songs don’t feel vapid but rather like anthems of self-empowerment.

The pop experience — exuberant, superficial, fun, crass — could hardly be mirrored better.

‘Bloodline’ is f illed with action and thrills “Bloodline” by James Rollins; William Morrow, 2012; 464 pages; $27.99

By Jeff Ayers Associated Press

Cutting-edge science and political intrigue are mixed with action and thrills in “Bloodline,” the latest Sigma Force novel from James Rollins.

A young pregnant woman named Amanda and her husband, Mack, are hiding from their pursuers on a vessel on the far side of the world. Unfortunately,

they are discovered.

Amanda watches in horror as the crew is slaughtered and her husband literally loses his head.

She’s kidnapped, but quickly realizes she’s not the target: It’s her unborn child.

Members of the Sigma Force launch a rescue operation when they learn the kidnapped woman is the daughter of the president of the United States.

Painter Crowe, director of Sigma Force, knows there’s more to the kidnapping than they are being told. His investigation of the villainous top-secret organization The Guild leads him to believe the leader of their group is the president himself.

The science in “Bloodline” reads like the

best of Michael Crichton. The machinations of government read like the best of David Baldacci. And the action and thrills read like the best of Clive Cussler. Rollins takes the best of all of these and creates an amazing thriller unlike any other.

The Sigma Force team continues to expand, and new characters like the military operative Tucker Wayne and his war dog partner, the Belgian shepherd Kane, are captivating.

Readers unfamiliar with the previous novels in the series will not feel lost starting here.

“Spec Ops: The Line” (2K Games, for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, $59.99) doesn’t let you off the hook so easily. Yes, you will slaughter hundreds of people over the course of its single-player campaign. No, you won’t feel good about it.

“Spec Ops” takes place in Dubai six months after it has been demolished by an apocalyptic sandstorm. Its luxury hotels and skyscrapers have been abandoned or even toppled. Only a few refugees remain, along with a U.S. Army infantry unit and its leader, Col. John Konrad. After receiving a distress call from inside Dubai, your three-man commando team is sent to investigate.

Konrad’s name is a giveaway to anyone who passed highschool English lit: “Spec Ops” is a take on Joseph Conrad’s “Heart of Darkness,” by way of Francis Ford Coppola’s 1979 Vietnam War adaptation, “Apocalypse Now.” The parallels to the film are deliberate: The

diary of the game’s protagonist, Capt. Walker, is reminiscent of Capt. Willard’s narration in the movie. A game character called Radioman channels Dennis Hopper’s photojournalist. And even though “Spec Ops” is set in the near future, its soundtrack features Vietnam-era nuggets like Deep Purple’s “Hush” and Martha and the Vandellas’ “Nowhere to Run.” As your team approaches the sand-choked outskirts of Dubai, you’re greeted by refugees who try (with gunfire) to stop your mission. But as you venture further into the city’s decadent palaces and casinos, you stumble into a war between CIA agents and Konrad’s “Damned 33rd” infantry. The enemies

here aren’t terrorists, drug lords or aliens. They’re your fellow Americans.

“Spec Ops,” created by the Berlin-based Yager Development studio, doesn’t tackle specific elements of U.S. foreign policy, but its vision of apparently crazy Americans running amok in the Middle East is unflinching. It’s hard to imagine a U.S.-based developer trying to pull this off.

But while the story here is riveting, the gameplay offers nothing particularly fresh. The settings are distinctive, but most of the levels settle into the familiar rhythm: take cover, kill everybody, move on. And the game drags you down a relentlessly linear path, with little free-

dom to explore. On occasion, it awkwardly reminds you that you’re playing a game: Oh look, someone’s put a convenient zip line on top of this tower!

Still, even when I was bored with its lackluster combat, the audacious storytelling in “Spec Ops” kept me moving. “Spec Ops” is as gory as “Call of Duty,” “Battlefield” or any shooter of the last decade — yet it dares to question the gamer’s enjoyment of such violence. (Near the end it flashes the question, “How many Americans have you killed today?”) The messages may be muddled, but they are thought-provoking, and Yager and 2K deserve credit for tackling them. Three stars out of four.

He’ll spin you right ’round, baby, right ’round DJ Mizu brings his turntables to The Smoking Moose in Anniston

Longer days, hotter nights and more fun and unpredictable adventures with friends and family means it’s time to let the windows down and crank up the music. Lee has compiled a playlist of his 10 favorite summer jams that can take you from beach to barbecue in just one track.

DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince — “Summertime” “As the name states, there are not many people on the planet that can’t associate this song with summer. The laid-back sound of this track always reminds me of chillin’ with my friends at a barbeque, or laid back on the sand listening to the waves crash in.”

By Erin Williams Special to The Star

For Chris Lee, becoming DJ Mizu was less of a daydream and a little more like … a “nitemare.”

Born and raised in Dothan, Lee was introduced to spinning vinyl at the age of 18, when he first started going out to clubs.

He became acquainted with the local DJs, and was intrigued by their talent.

“I’d had a love of music, different types of music — dance music, rock music, everything,” he remembers. When he decided to take up the trade in his early 20s, Lee started on a much more basic scale than today’s DJs. “Back then, it was records only — there wasn’t such things as CDs or CD mixers and CD players,” he said.

He bought a mixer from a flea market and turntables from a pawn shop on a road trip to Atlanta.

“Being that age, turntables are $500 bucks apiece – it’s not like you have $1,000 laying around,” Lee said of his equipment choices. He started scouting regularly for records in nearby Pensacola and Tallahassee.

“We’d drive an hour and a half just to buy records — that’s what you had to do,” he said of his early days in the business. For a few years in the late ’90s, Lee opened his own record store, “Pimpin’ the Wax,” inspired by a Beastie Boys lyric, but was eventually pushed out by the arrival of the more conventional CD turntable and the arrival of Napster and other forms of obtaining music.

“Basically, records just became more and more obsolete,” he said.

Lee DJed off and on for the next five years before a chance meeting with electronic group Rabbit and the Moon in 2004 allowed Lee to explore the DJ scene abroad — and gain exposure to the then-hot genre, electronica, which uses electronic instruments and sounds and usually has fast dance beats.

“It was fun, but I considered myself still kind of young at the time,” he said, “and it was

always cool to be the DJ.” Before he knew it, he had a new name, traveled to more places around the Southeast and developed a new focus. Formerly known as “DJ Nitemare,” Rabbit bandmembers David Christophere and DJ Monk didn’t really think the monkier fit his personality. After doing some research, Lee tapped into his zodiac sign, Aries. The Aries sign represents fire, so Lee decided to find his synergy by focusing on the opposite element, water — which in Japanese is “mizu.” He’s satisfied with his decision.

“It should make sense, and it should have a reason,” he said of choosing a name.

Following a lengthy residency during the 2000s at Grand Central Station in Dothan, he now spins across the state, and can be found once a month hosting “Revive Saturdays” by Daybreakk Productions in Anniston. Don’t expect the same rotation every set, however.

“You never know what to expect — except for a good time,” he said. “I don’t think a good DJ comes prepared to play a certain set. It’s all on crowd reaction, and what keeps the dance floor packed.”

Lee enjoys introducing crowds to new music, using remixes and mashups to introduce people to new music.

“Everybody and their mother is putting hip-hop lyrics over dubstep right now,” he said of the latest dance floor trend.

Lee is looking forward to his return to Anniston on Saturday to The Smoking Moose, a.k.a. “the funnest crowd that I play for.”

“They love it, they’re there to have fun — I don’t think I’ve ever seen a fight in there … it’s just fun.

I have friends from Dothan … they ride up (to the Smoking Moose)because they’d rather party there on a Saturday night than back home.”

Eric McCormack perceives himself to be right for new TNT series

By Luaine Lee McClatchy-Tribune News Service

PASADENA, Calif. — You can take the boy out of Canada, but you can’t take Canada out of the boy. At least that little bromide has proven right for Eric McCormack. The star of “Will & Grace” knows what it is to be a household name, but he never let it go to his head.

The difference, he guesses, may be his Canadian roots.

“It’s bred in us. ‘Don’t get too big for your britches. Anybody can do what you do. Don’t think you’re all that!’ It’s just in our culture,” he shrugs.

“And I married a very Canadian girl.

She wouldn’t let me get away with stuff.

You realize you want to be a positive example for your child. You can’t expect them not to get spoiled if you’re acting spoiled. If you expect the world to be at your feet, that’s what they’re going to see.”

Not only does he maintain his equilibrium at home, he does it at work, too.

In fact, McCormack is one actor who sometimes disqualifies himself for a role. ‘When you’re a theater actor you think you can play anything,” he says, easing into a blue chenille sofa in a hotel room here.

“But when you go to some television or film auditions and you realize there’s somebody better for that than me: ‘He’s a football player, it’s better that they get a bigger guy.’ So you start to almost typecast yourself; trying to figure out where can I do the best work? How can I walk into a room and knock ‘em dead?

I don’t limit myself. But I try to keep a real sober view of reality,” he says.

“I read a part and go, ‘I wouldn’t want to see me in this part — I’d rather see so-and-so.’ That’s not to say I wouldn’t do it if I was offered it, but I try not to get an unrealistic view of myself in the business. Part of you has to be a business man and understand where you fit in.”

Fitting in is a heady challenge for McCormack as he approaches his latest role. He plays a schizophrenic neuroscientist who aids the police on some of their more complex crimes on TNT’s new “Perception,” premiering Monday. Even there, McCormack had his doubts.

“My only hesitation about this part

TNT via MCT

Eric McCormack plays a schizophrenic neuroscientist in TNT’s new drama, ‘Perception,’ premiering Monday. was: I don’t want the press to go, ‘Here we go — (sigh) another crime drama.’ I wanted to make sure that the characters were at the forefront, that the writers had a long-term plan for how the character was going to remain interesting.

I don’t think I’m cut out for a ‘CSI’ or ‘Law & Order’ every week. I need something else. And that’s definitely what you’re going to see. This is not a procedural because this character breaks procedure every time he walks into a room,” says McCormack.

In spite of his familiar face, McCormack still does his own grocery shopping and has been married to the same woman for 15 years. He’s the father of an almost-10-year-old son who loves basketball.

He thinks many Hollywood marriages fail “because there’s an unnaturalness to it. If I went home and argued with my wife tonight, I might say to her, ‘Today, hundreds of people loved me.

And tonight you’re pissed at me. People gave me the impression they loved me and all these people for the network ...’ It’s not fair. It’s not fair to the spouse because of the adoration that comes from the public or the attention that comes from where you work. It’s unnat-

ural. And actors often lose themselves in that and then they go home and forget that they have another job to do.”

McCormack is on yet another job.

He’s currently on Broadway playing the villain in “The Best Man.” To do that was a sacrifice for his family, he acknowledges.

“It always comes down to the family. It’s just not convenient at all for the family so it’s gotta be something that absolutely I cannot say ‘no’ to. And a short run. And I said no to a lot of things, and this one I went to my wife and said, ‘Look at that cast, are you kidding me?’ She said, ‘Go.’ She read the play and said, ‘You gotta do it.’”

Coping with the separation is not as hard as it used to be, he says. “Technology is on our side. We can Facebook, Tweet and Skype and we’ll get together during spring break. My son’s old enough to understand now that his dad pursued his passion and made it his life. He’s an example of someone doing what they love. I hope, even though we’re apart, that he can say, ‘You didn’t give up your dreams so you could be at home.’

“You have to find a balance,” he sighs.

POP culture Q&A

Mr. Noodle explained

TV CROSSWORD

Q: We get a kick out of the Mr. Noodle character on “Sesame Street.” Has he done other comedic work? What is the actor’s real name?

A: The character in the “Elmo’s World” segments of “Sesame Street” is played by the multitalented Bill Irwin. He has been nominated for Tony awards as an actor, director and choreographer and writer, and won a 2005 acting Tony for “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf.” He has co-starred in “Waiting for Godot” with Steve Martin and Robin Williams and has been the creepy killer Nate Haskell on “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” in addition to other stage, TV and screen performances.

(For example, you can also see him with Williams in Bobby McFerrin’s “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” video, and with Martin in “My Blue Heaven.”) In 1984, he received one of the “genius grants” from the MacArthur Foundation; he is also in the International Clown Hall of Fame. He has been playing Mr. Noodle since 1998.

By the way, Mr. Noodle had a brother, The Other Mr. Noodle, played by Tony

Richard Drew/Associated Press

Bill Irwin of ‘Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf,’ poses with his Tony Award for best performance by a leading actor in a play after the 2005 Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall in New York, June 5, 2005. Irwin is also known as Mr. Noodle in the ‘Elmo’s World’ segments on ‘Sesame Street.’ and Emmy winner Michael Jeter from 2000 until his death in 2003. And Kristin Chenoweth and Sarah Jones have appeared as Noodle sisters. Both are

also Tony winners — Chenoweth as a performer, Jones as writer and star of the play “Bridge & Tunnel” — which shows how much talent has passed through “Sesame Street,” and how well some people use their Noodles.

Q: Will there be any new episodes of “CSI: Miami” coming this fall?

A: No. CBS decided not to renew the crime drama starring David Caruso.

It did renew “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” and “CSI: NY.” Q: Has the 1960s TV series “Batman” starring Adam West and Burt

Ward ever been released on DVD? A: As far as I can tell, there has not been an authorized release (and I do not recommend unauthorized releases of that or any other series). It is not clear why a big-screen “Batman: The Movie,” made in 1966 with the TV series cast, is available.

Q: I’ve been looking for the TV series “Mayberry, RFD,” and the TV-movie “Return to Mayberry” on DVD. I’ve never found either of them.

A: I do not know of an authorized release of “Mayberry, RFD,” which succeeded “The Andy Griffith Show” from 1968 to 1971. The centerpiece was Sam Jones, played

by Ken Berry, but several supporting players from the Griffith Show were also featured. “Return to Mayberry,” a 1986 movie reuniting the Griffith Show cast, is not available as a separate, authorized DVD as far as I can tell.

But it has been included in some compilations, including “The Andy Griffith Show 50th Anniversary: The Best of Mayberry” set.
