People Upcoming events in the St. Louis area For The Edge A variety of events to satisfy a variety of tastes has been scheduled in the St. Louis area.

Here's a look: • “The Tapping” Book Signing and Author Q&A January 25, 2015 1pm – 3pm FREE The Novel Neighbor 7905 Big Bend Blvd, Webster Groves, MO 63119 Howard J Levinson will be talking about and signing copies of his newest book "The Tapping" and the hauntingly real events that helped inspire the tale. Books will be available for purchase! More details to come.

"The Tapping" is a tale of grisly murders, organized crime, law-enforcement corruption and supernatural forces. This spine-chilling mystery takes readers on a journey as the souls of two murdered children demand justice and revenge.

Drawn from over 30 years of service as a Medic, Homicide, Organized Crime, Undercover Narcotics and Anti-Terrorism task force detective in the St. Louis metro area, Levinson has created real life characters in a thrilling and twisted white knuckle plot that is hard to put down. The Tapping is told through the eyes of Morris Green, a damaged man who is both detective and physician, killer and savior. Green is unwittingly compelled by the spirits of the two dead children to bring their killer to justice. He launches a cold case review of their murders and uncovers a tangled conspiracy of organized crime and corruption, which extends from his own department to specialized units within the FBI and State Department. Green discovers that freeing the trapped souls of the children may be the only way he can save his own. h t t p s : / / w w w. f a c e b o o k . c o m / events/301171976759260/ • Celebrating Downton Abbey with bestselling author Wendy Wax – January 30, 7:30pm Jewish Community Center / Staenberg Arts and Education Building / 2 Millstone Campus Dr / St. Louis, MO 63146 Tickets are $15 Call 314-442-3299 for more info or buy online here The St. Louis Jewish Book Festival hosts Wendy Wax, bestselling author of more than 10 books of women’s fiction.

People People planner Carrington to appear at Peabody

Rodney Carrington will appear at the Peabody Opera House in St. Louis at 7 p.m. on March 27.

Ti c k e t s a r e a v a i l a b l e a t ticketmaster.com, at 1-800-745-3000 or the Peabody Opera House Box Office.

Rodney Carrington has been making audiences laugh for almost twenty years with his unique brand of stand-up comedy. The country singer-songwriter has recorded eight major label comedy albums which have sold more than two million copies … two of which have been certified Gold.

Rodney Carrington recently started his own record label “Laughter’s Good” and is releasing two albums under the new label in October 2014. Rodney plans to re-release “C’Mon Laugh You Bastards” which will feature 3 new songs, as well as an album of all new material called “Laughter’s Good.”

In addition to starting his own record label, Rodney is starting a new YouTube series in October 2014 called “Bit By Bit.” In the series, he will be releasing new material one piece at a time on a weekly basis.

On November 1, 2014 Sirius XM is doing a “Rodney Carrington Takeover Special” on their Blue Collar Comedy Channel. Carrington can also be heard every Sunday on ESPN2 on the intro of “Colin’s Football Show” with Colin Cowherd.

He wrote and performed the intro song for the show, and stars in the video before each show, which airs every Sunday prior to NFL games during the 2014 season.

Originally from Longview, TX, Carrington has three sons and resides in Tulsa, OK. Rodney Carrington kicks off his “Here Comes the Truth” tour in 2015.

OMNIMAX film captures unseen world

A new giant screen film adventure takes audiences on an extraordinary journey into unseen worlds and hidden dimensions

beyond our normal vision to uncover the mysteries of things too fast, too slow, too small or simply invisible. On October 10, 2014, the Saint Louis Science Center ’s OMNIMAX® Theater will premiere Mysteries of the Unseen World, an original production by National Geographic Entertainment and Days End Pictures, narrated by Forest Whitaker.

Created by an award-winning veteran film team, the new 40-minute large format experience is produced

by Jini Durr (“Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure”) and Lisa Truitt (“Mysteries of Egypt”) and directed by Louis Schwartzberg (“Disney Nature: Wings of Life”).

Mysteries of the Unseen World uses innovative high-speed and time-lapse photography, electron microscopy, and nanotechnology, to transport audiences to an enthralling secret world of nature, events and breathtaking phenomena not visible to the naked eye.

“Mysteries of the Unseen World has that ‘wow’ factor that will impress adults and children,” said Jackie Mollet, Managing Director Visitor Services at the Saint Louis Science Center. “Seeing these amazing images will give you a new appreciation for the world around us. The technological advances used to capture these images are aweinspiring as well. ” INVISIBLE: We see only a fraction of the millions of wavelengths in the vast electromagnetic spectrum—the rainbow of light waves called visible light. The film shows audiences what it would be life if we had X-ray vision, or infrared vision like a mosquito, how a bee’s eyes see through ultraviolet light, what Gamma rays, microwaves and radio waves show us, and more.

TOO SLOW: Ti m e - l a p s e i m a g e s c a p t u re mundane events that happen too slowly for humans to perceive. The film shows plants creeping toward the sun and astonishingly complex “slime mold” searching for food.

On a grander scaled, time-lapse allows audiences to see our planet in motion—from the vast and relentless sweep of nature to the restless movement of humanity.

TOO FAST: High-speed cameras do the opposite of time-lapse, revealing secrets from the super-fast world of nature. The film shows slow motion sequences of events that happen too quickly for human perception: a rattlesnake strike; drug cymbals reverberating; a Eurasian Eagle Owl, the world’s largest, flexing its wings; a basilisk or Jesus lizard running on the surface of water; popcorn popping; lightning rising upwards from the ground as well as striking from the sky.

TOO SMALL: The film also peers into the world of wonders too small for the human eye to see—from the minute structures on a butterfly’s wing and the tiny organisms that inhabit the human body all the way down to nano-scale structures. See how electron microscopes create images that magnify things by as much as a million times—revealing a world that is both bizarre and beautiful. Guess which unusual image is a fruit fly’s eye, the skin of a shark, a flea on a cat, a tomato stem, an eggshell, and more!

Mysteries of the Unseen World then moves from the familiar events of everyday life to the building blocks of matter itself. The filmmakers worked with a 3-D medical animation company to depict the atom-scale realm of nano-science and potential innovations in nanotechnology. In a complex zoom sequence, the shot moves in on a spider, then a strand of its silk, then into the silk itself where audiences see a bacterium. The camera then zooms even deeper, in on a virus on the bacterium, then into the DNA of the virus and finally into the actual atoms of the DNA. “Mysteries of the Unseen World immerses audiences in mindbending dimensions that enhance our understanding of the planet and inspire people with the wonder and possibilities of science,” said Lisa Truitt, president of National Geographic Entertainment.

“The premise of this new giant screen film experience is looking at the world through a variety of imaging technologies that allow audiences to see beyond what they can with the naked eye and gain a new vision of the world around them,” said producer Jini Durr.

These prizes can include discounts on merchandise or food or free gifts. Liberty Bank will also take part in the kick-off event by sponsoring the Ice Putt Putt contest for visitors. The bank’s mascot, Sam the Eagle, will also be hand to greet visitors to downtown Alton. And, of course, there will be the live eagle meet and greet featuring an eagle from the World Bird Sanctuary at the Alton Visitors Center. All of these activities are free. Additionally, the CVB will offer Eagle Watching Shuttle Tours which will provide visitors with a guided first-hand look at several eagle watching hot spots in the region. The cost for these 45-minute tours is $5 per person. Tours begin at 10:30 a.m. and the last Eagle Watching Shuttle Tour will depart from the Alton Visitors Center at 1:30 p.m.

At the Audubon Center, located across the Mississippi River, visitors can enjoy the view of the mighty river and its abundant wildlife from the comfort of the state-of-the-art Visitors Center. Multiple spotting scopes are available for use and everyone will be able to have an up-close and personal look at the area’s Birds of Prey presented by TreeHouse

Wildlife Center. Representatives of area attractions and conservation organizations will also be at the center hosting family-friendly activities.

Chances are visitors will get to see the hundreds of Trumpeter Swans who make the Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary their winter home. All activities at the Audubon Center are free.

The weekend also kicks off the annual Alton Eagle Watcher T-Shirt Giveaway which is open to eagle watchers of all ages. This giveaway encourages visitors to stop by the various Eagle Watching Hot Spots.

Visitors who go to five of the eight hot spots (Alton Visitors Center, Audubon Center at Riverlands, Lewis & Clark Confluence Tower, Melvin Price Locks and Dam, Pere Marquette State Park, Two Rivers National Wildlife Refuge Center, Columbia Bottoms Conservation Center, Lewis & Clark State Historic Site) listed and have their card initialed by a representative of that site will receive a free eagle t-shirt by returning a completed card to the Alton Visitors Center while supplies last. For more information on this contest go to www.VisitAlton. com/EagleWatcher.

Every day visitors can travel along the Meeting of the Great Rivers National Scenic Byway to visit the “Eagle Watching Hot Spots” featured in the 2015 Eagle Watcher’s Guide. Again this year, the Alton Eagle Watching App will guide visitors during their eagle watching adventure. The free app, available for iPhone and Android, will lead visitors to the eagle watching hot spots, provide information on upcoming events and festivals, allow visitors to share their eagle photos, offer deals from restaurants and shops, as well as a list the shops, restaurants, attractions and lodging found along the byway.

Annually, the opportunities for eagle watching continue to grow in the Alton region. Visitors can head out to view the eagles on their own, or they can take part in some of the traditional eagle watching events in the region, including eagle meet & greets, eagle watching tours and live bird demonstrations. Events take place nearly every weekend and throughout the week, from January through March. Plus, most of the events in the region are free of charge. A full list of events can be found online at www.VisitAlton. com/Seasons/Eagle and in the Eagle Watcher’s Guide.

Symphony, Nine Network team up

In a unique partnership, the Nine Network of Public Media and the St. Louis Symphony have combined resources to produce a new, monthly television series, Night at the Symphony. It will be broadcast on Nine PBS on the first Monday of the month at 7:00 p.m. beginning January 5, 2015, and rebroadcast the following Sunday at 3:00 p.m. beginning January 11.

Nine episodes will air in 2015.

The hour-long programs will highlight specially selected St. Louis Symphony performances from the 2014–2015 season, as well as encore presentations of concert specials produced since 2012.

“This is the only partnership of its kind in the nation between a public television station and a symphony orchestra,” said Patrick Murphy, vice president of production for the Nine

Network.

“The opportunity to bring the experience of one of the world’s finest orchestras into every home in our region shows what is possible when cultural institutions work together for the benefit of the community.”

“When we first started our partnership five years ago, I never would have expected it to evolve into what it’s become,” said Adam Crane, vice president for external affairs at the St. Louis Symphony.

“We’ve learned so much along the way, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our musicians and staff, as well as the Nine Network team. The orchestra's mission is to enrich people’s lives through the power of music, and Night at the Symphony embodies this."

“In a season full of special anniversaries for the St. Louis Symphony, the genesis of Night at the Symphony is a terrific way to celebrate,” said Music Director David Robertson. “It’s another way that audiences can enjoy our worldclass orchestra and we’re grateful to the Nine Network for the new opportunity to continue to share our music with the community.”

“Our partnership with the St. Louis Symphony is a shining example of what can be achieved through creative collaboration and commitment to a common objective,” said Nine Network President and CEO Jack Galmiche.

“It is particularly exciting for us to add this unprecedented series to our extensive local and national arts programming.”

The programming lineup for Night at the Symphony through 2015 is as follows (the series will not air in March, June and December): February 2 David Robertson conducts selections by Mussorgsky, Massenet, Tchaikovsky, Grieg and Copland with featured violinists Dana Edison Myers and Rebecca Boyer Hall.

April 6 R esiden t Conductor Steven Jarvi leads the orchestra and violin soloists Jessica Cheng, Angela Smart, Jooyeon Kong and Alison Harney in a performance of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons.

May 4 David Robertson conducts pieces

by Brahms, Rosas, Ravel, Alfven, Borodin, Bartók and Ginastera with featured violinists Eva Kozma and Silvian Iticovici.

July 6 Conductor David Robertson leads the symphony and cellist Alvin McCall in the performance of works

by Copland, Ives and MacDowell.

The year wraps up with encore performances of concerts previously presented on Nine PBS: August 4, September 7, October 5, and November 3.

Artistic adventures Dance St. Louis set for season

Dance St. Louis announces its full 2014-2015 season, which features eight striking, entertaining and diverse productions. The upcoming 49th season includes: New Dance Horizons III, Dance Theatre of Harlem, Tango Buenos Aires, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet, Compagnie Käfig in Correria Agwa, the 8th Annual SPRING TO DANCE FESTIVAL 2015 and two co-presentations with the U.S. Bank Broadway Series at the Fox Theatre: Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story on Stage and STOMP. Tickets are on sale now and are available at the Dance St. Louis box office at 3547 Olive St. in the Centene Center for Arts and Education in Grand Center, by calling 314-534-6622, or by visiting dancestlouis.org.

Tango Buenos Aires January 30 & 31, 2015 Touhill Performing Arts Center Back by popular demand, Tango Buenos Aires, one of Argentina’s greatest cultural exports, presents another fiery, hypnotic a n d e x p re s s i v e p e r f o r m a n c e .

Accompanied by musicians from Buenos Aires, the dancers flawlessly execute the Tango with impressively int rica t e mu sc u l a r g r a ce a n d interlacing movements between couples. For this special production, Tango Buenos Aires performs the “Song of Eva Perón” – a Tango dance and music presentation inspired by the most important feminine character in Argentinian history, Eva Perón. Tracing her epic life—from her ascent to fame in the 1930s to her death in 1952—this sparkling and poignant spectacle reveals the influence of Tango on Perón’s life. It’s a saucy and passionate story that keeps you fully engaged while you’re simultaneously swaying in your seat.

Aspen Santa Fe Ballet February 27 & 28, 2015 Touhill Performing Arts Center Cutting-edge, sophisticated, versatile, gifted and techniqueconscious – all describe the topflight dancers of Aspen Santa Fe Ballet. Hailed by The New York Times as “a breath of fresh air” and by the Boston Herald as the “classically trained company of the future,” Aspen Santa Fe Ballet combines rugged athleticism with liquid grace, and blends European aesthetic with American vigor.

The company, also known for its commitment to commissioning new works, performs from a diverse and engaging repertoire by some of the world’s foremost choreographers, ranging from Twyla Tharp and William Forsythe to Nicolo Fonte and Moses Pendelton. With its sophisticated repertoire and broad appeal, combined with a blend of entertaining and engrossing contemporary dance, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet is one of the great success stories in American dance today.

Composed of 12 young, talented dancers, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet presents a lively program enjoyable for all audiences.

STOMP April 10-12, 2015 Fox Theatre See what all the noise is about!

STOMP is explosive, inventive, provocative, witty, and utterly unique—an unforgettable experience for audiences of all ages. The international percussion sensation has garnered armfuls of awards and rave reviews and has

appeared on numerous national television shows. The eightmember troupe uses everything b u t c o n v e n t i o n a l p e rc u s s i o n instruments – matchboxes, wooden poles, brooms, garbage cans, Zippo lighters, hubcaps – to fill the stage with magnificent rhythms. Year after year, audiences worldwide keep coming back for more of this pulsepounding electrifying show. As the Boston Globe says, “If you haven’t seen STOMP, GO! If you have seen it, take someone and share the pleasure!”

Compagnie Käfig in Correria Agwa / CCN Créteil et Val-deMarne April 24 & 25, 2015 Touhill Performing Arts Center There’s hip-hop and then there’s Compagnie Käfig’s brand of hiphop, with its global composition, international flavor and fusion of styles. With dancers set in motion to the rhythmic beats of samba, bossa nova and electronic music, this show is a savvy, wild mash-up of innovative, dynamic choreography that promises to be one of the most entertaining highlights of the year. Compagnie Käfig is the brainchild of Mourad M e r z o u k i , a n a t i v e o f Ly o n , France who studied martial arts and circus arts as a child and was influenced by hip-hop as a teen.

Since 1996, the company has expanded the language of hip-hop by cleverly introducing a wide range of influences, ranging from Bollywood, Russian dance and contemporary dance to samba and capoeira to Merzouki’s own expertise in circus and martial arts.

By avoiding social stereotypes, Compagnie Käfig has managed to create its own unique style that does not deny its hip-hop origins, but rather enables the hip-hop movement to win over diverse a u d i e n c e s a ro u n d t h e w o r l d .

Take a seat, sit back and enjoy a transformation in modern hip-hop like no other.

The Arts "Song of Eva Peron" planned at the Touhill For The Edge

B

ack by popular demand, Dance St. Louis presents Tango Buenos Aires, one of Argentina’s greatest cultural exports direct from Buenos Aires, on January 30-31 at the Touhill Performing Arts Center.

For this special production, Tango Buenos Aires performs “Song of Eva Perón” – a Tango dance and music presentation inspired by the most important feminine character in Argentinian history, Eva Perón.

Accompanied by live music performed by Buenos Aires musicians, this promises to be a fiery, hypnotic performance.

Performances are Friday, January 30 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, January 31 at 2 and 8 p.m.

Following the matinee performance and prior to the evening performance on Saturday, January 31, Dance St. Louis hosts a milonga from 4-6 p.m., featuring free Tango lessons from two Tango Buenos Aires teaching artists with music mixed by Rick “El Conquistador” Barbarash.

The milonga is free and open to the public. No show tickets are required to participate in the free Tango lessons. Food and beverage are available for purchase.

“Song of Eva Perón” traces Perón’s epic life—from her ascent to fame in the 1930s to her death in 1952. Starting from nothing but propelled by the influence of the Tango, which she first heard while growing up in the slums of Buenos Aires, Eva attains stardom and blooms to be Argentina‘s First Lady.

Her story brought her worldwide acclaim and still resonates with

For The Edge

Pictured are two scenes of performances by Tango Buenos Aires. her millions of admirers. Sparkling and poignant, “Song of Eva Perón” highlights the flowering of a humble and beautiful woman. It’s the tale of a larger-than-life figure put into traditional Tango dance and music from Buenos Aires. The passionate performance keeps you fully engaged while the dancers flawlessly execute the Tango with impressive, intricate muscular grace and interlacing movements.

The Washington Post describes Tango Buenos Aires style as "... repeatedly crafted swirling, fastpaced tapestries of movement, laced with proud postures and sensual couplings." The Lincoln Journal Star states, “Fast and furious, the dancers' feet and legs

flashed and wove in and around each other, or paused to move slowly and seductively, stretching the tension within the dance." The Ruidoso News describes Tango Buenos Aires as “Sometimes playful, sometimes dramatic, and always sensuous, the closely entwined bodies and limbs moved with amazing speed through deftly engineered movements, including frequent dips, deep slides, energetic foot stomps and ballet-like turns.”

About Tango Buenos Aires Tango Buenos Aires has become one of Argentina’s great cultural exports, known throughout the Americas, Europe and the Far East as the most authentic and uncompromising representative of

the Tango. Renowned composer and tango director Osvaldo Requena created Tango Buenos Aires for the “Jazmines” festival at the famous Buenos Aires cabaret, Michelangelo. The company was met with tremendous success and was immediately added to the season of the General San Martin Municipal Theatre.

In 1986, the company traveled to the United States to represent Argentina at the Latin-American Festival, which was followed by an extensive tour throughout the United States. In following years, the group completed 62 performances throughout Japan, a CD recording for Sony titled “Quejas de Bandoneón,” a lengthy tour of the principal cities of Argentina and tours of Latin America and Europe. To date, Tango Buenos Aires has performed throughout the world from Australia and New Zealand to China and South America to the United States and Europe.

In June 1999, the renowned pianist Cristian Zárate became music director, and Pablo Mainetti, the world’s greatest bandoneon player, joined the orchestra. In 2005 Julian Vat, Argentina’s most prolific composer and leading musician assumed the title of music director.

Due to the extraordinary success of Tango Buenos Aires’ tours, the company continues to return to the United States and Canada for coastto-coast tours.

Tickets are $40-$65 and available at the Dance St. Louis box office at 3547 Olive St. in the Centene Center for Arts and Education in Grand Center, by calling 314-534-6622, or by visiting dancestlouis.org.

Dance St. Louis Artistic & Executive Director Michael Uthoff will host a free program, the Marjorie Orgel Speaking of Dance Series, in the Touhill’s Terrace Lobby at 7:15 p.m. prior to the 8 p.m. performances and at 1:15 p.m. prior to the Saturday 2 p.m. performance.

"Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb"

Take heed: There are at least two acutely sad moments involving Robin Williams' Teddy Roosevelt in the latest "Night at the Museum." The movie, subtitled "Secret of the Tomb," is imbued with the unshakable inevitability that even though we're still having fun, it's time to move on_a narrative made only more poignant by Williams's sudden and shocking death earlier this year.

It's hard not to concentrate on his every movement and word or to get antsy when he's in the midst of a bit and the camera cuts away to a monkey peeing on something, leaving us straining to hear Williams' voice. And yet, as silly a role and movie as this is, it also manages to live up to the (unfair) responsibility of being a comedy legend's last role. Director Shawn Levy and his team strike the right balance, without overwhelming the story with melancholy.

Beyond Williams, "Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb" is a lively romp with the over-the-top historical figures that audiences have come to enjoy over the years that, in spite of the dead zones, elicits more than a few bawdy laughs throughout its swift runtime.

The latest installment delves (not too deeply) into the mythology of the ancient tablet that brings the museum fixtures to life. When the golden treasure starts to corrode, things go haywire, leading to a particularly disastrous fundraising event as all the characters revert to their true, violent selves and, inexplicably, Teddy Roosevelt starts quoting Winston Churchill and John F. Kennedy.

RATED: PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for "or mild action, some rude humor and brief language."

RUNNING TIME: 97 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two and a half stars out of four.

"The Interview"

"The Interview" will go down as the satire that provoked an authoritarian dictatorship, roiled Sony Pictures in a massive hacking attack and prompted new questions of cyber warfare, corporate self-censorship and comedic audacity.

The movie is already assured of cinematic infamy, regardless of its merits. But is it any good?

Though "The Interview," directed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, never quite manages the duo's calibrated blend of sincerity and over-the-top crudeness, it nevertheless usually pulses with an unpredictable absurdity and can-you-believe-we're-doing-this glee. Its greatest charm is that it so happily brings the silliest, most ludicrous of knives (a preening James Franco, lots of butt jokes) to North Korea's militarized gunfight.

Rogen plays Aaron Rapoport, a journalism-school grad who has found himself, ignobly, producing an "Extra!"-like entertainment news show, "Skylark Tonight," hosted by his friend Dave Skylark (Franco). The show traffics in the fluff of celebrity with occasional scoops. (Eminem makes a funny cameo as himself with the out-of-the-blue confession that he's gay.)

When it's learned that North Korea leader Kim Jong Un is a fan of the show, they maneuver to land an interview for a kind of modern "Frost/Nixon" televised tete-a-tete, albeit one with the same penchant for ascots. (Franco's Skylark is an extreme dandy who speaks largely in overused slang and has a strange obsession with "Lord of the Rings.")

Before their trip to Pyongyang, a CIA agent (Lizzy Caplan) recruits the pair with the mission to turn their big interview into an assassination. "Take him out," she instructs before putting them through training.

"Unbroken"

"Unbroken" is a story about Louis Zamperini that seems to have little interest in Louis Zamperini. The film painstakingly details his harrowing wartime experience and every brutal assault against his person. But don't expect to walk away with a deep understanding of the Olympic athlete who survived not only 47 days in a raft in the middle of the Pacific but also two years as a POW in a Japanese detention camp. "Unbroken" floats on the surface.

And it's fine. "Unbroken" isn't a bad movie; it's just safe to a fault.

Director Angelina Jolie has made a beautiful film based on Laura Hillenbrand's best-selling book. Her respect for Zamperini's story is evident from the start.

By the end, though, the gaze turns reverential and distant as his experiences become more foreign and obscured.

"Unbroken" kicks off with a bang. A gorgeous air battle places the audience in the middle of World War II, not caring to introduce you to the boys in the B-24 bomber.

In fact, Jack O'Connell is such a newcomer and looks so different in this film with his distractingly jet black hair that the first few minutes are a little disorienting as you try to figure out just who is the star of the movie. That's a strange handicap when you cast an unknown.

From there, the film fades in and out of flashbacks to Zamperini's Torrance, California, childhood and his unlikely ascent to athletic greatness. There, in "Godfather" sepia, we see a very young Zamperini smoking, drinking, looking up girls' skirts and not paying attention at church. But his brother pushes him to focus, and soon enough, his family realizes they've got a star on their hands.

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "war violence including intense sequences of brutality, and for brief language."

RUNNING TIME: 137 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two and a half stars out of four.

"Mr. Turner"

Survey countless films about artistic geniuses and you will not encounter one quite like Mike Leigh's J.M.W. Turner, as played by Timothy Spall.

Grunting is practically his choice mode of expression. He spits on his canvases and grubbily wields his brushes — and he's not much more elegant in his female relationships or when trying to carry a tune. He squints like a mole to such a degree that you feel at any moment he could twitch his nose and burrow a hole into the ground.

He's not a man from whom sublimity would seem to emanate, and yet it does. Joseph Mallor William Turner (1775-1851) churned out some of the most powerfully visceral paintings of light and tumult, of stormy seascapes and Victorian smokestacks. But between Turner the man and Turner the artist, the distance is as vast as the ocean.

And that is much of the point of the spectacular "Mr. Turner." Its mission isn't to place Turner on a pretentious pedestal of genius, where so many of our depictions of brilliant talents reside, but to treat him as a craftsman, a laborer going about, as Leigh has said, "a job of work."

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "some sexual content."

RUNNING TIME: 144 minutes.

"Leviathan"

Desperation runs through the frozen ground and swelling seas in "Leviathan," director Andrey Zvyagintsev's devastatingly beautiful and grand tale of man's ever deepening helplessness against a corrupt state and an indifferent God. The unlucky casualty of both Thomas Hobbes and Job (as in the "Book of") is Kolya (Alexey Serebryakov), a craftsman and mechanic whose family has inhabited this particular fishing town in North Russia for three generations. He lives in a gorgeous, wooden, sea-battered house, along with his beautiful young wife, Lilya (Elena Lyadova), and his unruly adolescent son, Roma (Sergey Pokhodaev), from a previous marriage.

We learn early on that the town's mayor, Vadim Shelevyat (Roman Madyanov), a brutish, puffy thug, is aiming to take away Kolya's business, house and land. He has his eyes on a commercial communications center of some sort, and Kolya's idyllic two-thirds of an acre on a slip of land overlooking the Barents Sea is just the spot for his greedy ambitions.

Kolya, a hot-tempered, passionate sort, calls in his cool, suave friend Dmitriy (Vladimir Vdovichenkov), a buttoned up Moscow lawyer, for help in court. Despite a front of masculine aloofness, Kolya wears every worry on his face and in ever jug of vodka he consumes. His entire being is wrapped up in the house, a physical representation of his heritage and a symbol of his personhood, and it's all in jeopardy.

Alas, their appeal is rejected by a humorless bureaucrat who reads what might as well be this man's execution sentence with monotone, robotic speed. We've not seen or heard the last word from this alienating system, though.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "language and some sexuality/graphic nudity."

RUNNING TIME: 141 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Four stars out of four.

"American Sniper"

A mere six months after releasing the Four Seasons drama "Jersey Boys," Clint Eastwood has again lapped his younger directing colleagues with his second film of 2014 and his best movie in years. "American Sniper" is quintessentially Eastwood: a tautly made, confidently constructed examination of the themes that have long dominated his work.

"American Sniper," based on Navy SEAL marksman Chris Kyle's best-selling memoir, is both a tribute to the warrior and a lament for war. Shirking politics, the film instead sets its sights squarely on its elite protagonist (Bradley Cooper), a traditional American war hero in an untraditional war.

Here is an archetypal American: a chew-spitting, beerdrinking Texas cowboy who enlists after the 1998 bombings of American embassies with resolute righteousness and noble patriotic duty. The once wayward Kyle finds his true calling in the Navy, and he heads to Iraq with a moral certainty that no amount of time served or kills will shake. He's there to kill bad guys — "savages" he calls them at one point.

And kill he does. With 160 confirmed kills, Kyle is believed to be the most lethal sniper in U.S. history. The film starts with a remarkable scene of Kyle poised on an Iraq rooftop with a young boy holding a grenade in his scope. Eastwood and screenwriter Jason Hall flashback to Kyle's upbringing, where his father taught him about "the gift of aggression" and the honor of defending others.

It's the first of many cuts between far-away battle and the personal life Kyle leaves behind. Shortly before shipping out, he weds Taya, played by Sienna Miller, who gives a refreshingly lively take on a usually one-dimensional character. She's more cynical than her husband, who returns to their growing family between tours, his head increasingly stuck in Iraq.

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "strong and disturbing war violence, and language throughout including some sexual references."

RUNNING TIME: 124 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

In this image released by Universal Pictures, Jack O'Connell portrays Olympian and war hero Louis "Louie" Zamperini in a scene from "Unbroken."

"Unbroken" beautiful but impersonal

By LINDSEY BAHR Associated Press "Unbroken" is a story about Louis Zamperini that seems to have little interest in Louis Zamperini. The film painstakingly details his harrowing wartime experience and every brutal assault against his person.

But don't expect to walk away with a deep understanding of the Olympic athlete who survived not only 47 days in a raft in the middle of the Pacific but also two years as a POW in a Japanese detention camp.

That's a strange handicap when you cast an unknown.

From there, the film fades in and out of flashbacks to Zamperini's Torrance, California,

childhood and his unlikely ascent to athletic greatness. There, in "Godfather" sepia, we see a very young Zamperini smoking, drinking, looking up girls' skirts and not paying attention at church. But his brother pushes him to focus, and soon enough, his family realizes they've got a star on their hands.

Zamperini, before enlisting in the Air Force to fight in the war, was a track star who ran in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. Though fairly straightforward, his racing scenes are among the most exciting of the movie. He's a guy who saves his best for the final moments. It's immediate and thrilling.

The wartime "present," however, has the feel of a lengthy montage, especially when Zamperini and his fellow mates are stranded

after their plane crashes in the Pacific. He and two crewmates survived on a raft at sea for 47 days, only to be captured by the Japanese and put into a brutal prisoner-of-war camp.

Early on in the first ordeal, we get a glimpse of Zamperini's selfless leadership as he tries to calm a panicked peer and tend to a wounded other, but it's fleeting.

Then it becomes a series of moments — flashes of misery on a boat as we peek in on the men in various stages of decay. It strips the experience of any arc or thrill. Jolie even plops us down in the middle of a violent storm. This should be electrifying to watch and experience along with Zamperini. Instead, she shows him bobbing up and down in the black waves, making a plea with God to get him out alive.

A look back at 2014's film highlights

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge What's most surprising to me about the state of movies in 2014 is not necessarily what you're going to see in all the headlines right now. It wasn't a total waste of time. I found more than two dozen great things about going to the movies this year and I want to share a bunch of them with you. I want it to be remembered as a year that was a success for those of us that love going to the show far more than it will be remembered as the year the terrorists won and we almost didn't get to see The Interview on the big screen. For the record, I'm going tonight and I'm going to have a popcorn because red blood flows through my veins.

2014 for me personally featured the longest period of time that I'd gone without watching a

movie since 1997 (25 days).

The lag did convince me of one thing: I'm not keen to repeat that streak. I also saw my first d r i v e - i n m o v i e t h i s s u m m e r.

That experience was nigh on magical and I'd love to do it again, but the feature would have to be just right (Action! Sci-Fi!).

Amazing performances were in no short supply throughout the year and I know we'll be h e a r i n g m o re a b o u t m y f o u r favorites (Reese Witherspoon in Wild; J.K. Simmons in Whiplash; Rosamund Pike in Gone Girl; Eddie Redmayne in Theory of Everything) in coming weeks.

So all of this great stuff happened over these last twelve months - heck, we even got a Veronica Mars movie - so where was the bad? Comedies as a genre were weak. Tammy and Let's Be Cops were depressing.

Sequels for Horrible Bosses

and Dumb & Dumber were just dumb(er). Going to the cinema also felt like going to church.

F i v e w i d e re l e a s e s t h i s y e a r featured Christian stories about God and the afterlife (Heaven is for Real was the best, Noah took the most artistic license). If you can figure out which movie was the worst of the year, though, between The Identical and The Single Moms Club, then I feel sorry that you sat through either because it was actually Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. The best films I saw in 2014 were: 1. Wild - as I told you just last w e e k , Wi l d i s a s i m p l e s t o r y t h a t f e a t u re s o n l y t w o ro l e s .

Witherspoon runs away with hers as hiker Cheryl Strayed looking for redemption in the wilderness.

Laura Dern shows what a truly g re a t s u p p o r t i n g a c t re s s c a n do, even when only used in flashbacks, as Cheryl's cancer-

stricken mother. Wild, indeed.

2. Guardians of the Galaxy - not just the highest grossing film on the year, but also one of the most madcap. Chris Pratt became a star and Marvel p ro v e d t h e y p ro b a b l y c a n g e t away with anything. It was also one of the few times in recent memory that a film had legs at the box office, returning to the #1 slot for its 4th - 7th weekends after being dethroned by some ninja turtles early in its run.

3. Chef - utterly charming and a funky mix of carefree childhood dreams, culinary treats, bad language, and small parts by huge actors. I cherished this movie from early in the year.

4. Boyhood - Richard Linklater lovingly filmed a group of actors (including Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette) for a few weeks for

January 15, 2015

twelve years and then edited it together to show the evolution of a boy (Ellar Coltrane) from childhood through adolescence.

I was transfixed by both the complicated vision this movie required and the sheer brilliance that hides in its simplicity. A re-issue is coming soon.

We're due for a rollercoaster ride in 2015 that features nothing better than a slew of franchise films from Fast & F u r i o u s , Te r m i n a t o r, J u r a s s i c Park, and The Hunger Games.

The IMAX slate in particular looks strong, culminating in Robert Zemeckis's take on the P h i l i p p e P e t i t Wo r l d Tr a d e C e n t e r h i g h - w i r e Wa l k f r o m 1974. James Bond will return in SPECTRE. And there's a little buzz starting to build over an indie film coming out in December called Th e Force Awakens. That should be fun.

For The Edge

Judy Martin Hess (The Martins), Jonathan Martin (The Martins), Mark Lowry and Joyce Martin Sanders (The Martins).

Belleville to host gospel event Mark Lowry and the Martins to perform Jan. 23 at St. Matthew's Church For The Edge

I

t’s been talked about for years and is now finally coming to pass. Gospel music legends Mark Lowry and The Martins are on the road together.

This long awaited concert event will come to Belleville, IL, on Friday, January 23 at 7:00pm. “It’s a lifelong dream,” says Mark about touring with The Martins. “It’s going to be an exciting year. We had a great time touring together in 2014, and I look forward to being on stage together again in 2015. I love just getting to hear The Martins sing every

night. I’m their biggest fan!”

The history between Mark and sibling trio Joyce, Jonathan and Judy Martin spans more than two decades and can be traced back to a cassette tape The Martins gave him at a national convention in 1992. Mark and fellow Gaither Vocal Band-mate Michael English were so impressed, they insisted Gloria Gaither listen to an impromptu audition of the group, which they held in the women’s restroom.

Gloria then told husband Bill and the rest is history as the Gaithers helped introduce The Martins to the world.

This exciting musical event will be held Friday, January

23 at the St Mathews Church in Belleville, IL. The concert begins at 7:00p.m. Complete information may be obtained by visiting www.marklowry.com or www.martinsonline. com.

Renowned pianist Stan Whitmire will also accompany Mark and The Martins on tour, and according to Lowry, fans can expect a little of everything during this special evening. “We mix it up quite a bit. The Martins and I sing together. I kick Jonathan out and sing with just the sisters on a couple songs. We have so much fun,” says Mark.

Make plans now to join Mark Lowry and The Martins on Friday, January 23 at the St Mathews Church in Belleville, IL.

Muny announces 2015 summer lineup For The Edge The Muny announces the 2015 summer season, its 97th summer season in Forest Park. The exciting line-up includes 3 Muny premieres. The seven shows are: My Fair Lady (June 15 – June 21), Hairspray (June 23 – June 30), Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn (July 6 – July 12), Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story (July 13 – July 19), Into The Woods (July 21 – July 27), Disney’s Beauty and The Beast (July 29 – August 7), and Oklahoma! (August 10 – August 16.) For more information call (314) 361-1900 or visit muny.org.

Season ticket holders will receive their renewal notices the first week of December.

New season tickets will be available beginning Saturday, March 7, 2015, at the Muny box office in Forest Park, with single tickets going on sale Saturday, May 30, 2015.

"2015 will be another big, adventurous season, " said Muny Artistic Director and Executive Producer Mike Isaacson. "During the past three seasons, we've expanded our creativity and energized our productions.

The response from the Muny audience and the community has been nothing short of wonderful. This audience inspires us to keep on pushing ourselves and our vision, so now we're off to make more "Muny magic" with these seven spectacular shows."

“In 2015, audiences will be delighted by our bold and exciting productions of beloved classics and the most popular titles from our audience survey,” said Muny

President and CEO Denny Reagan. "In the past 3 seasons, our productions have soared to unimaginable heights under the firstclass artistic direction of Mike Isaacson.

His passion and creativity have brought a welcome burst of energy to The Muny, and with the recent extension of Mike’s contract, the wonderful collaboration we have shared for his first three seasons will continue to produce years of magical moments for Muny audiences.”

“Both WWT and The Steward Family Foundation are committed to The Muny and to making exceptional musical theatre accessible to everyone,” said David Steward, chairman and founder of WWT. This year’s season promises to be spectacular and will showcase how much the performing arts enrich our community.”

Not seen at The Muny since 2008, Lerner and Loewe’s classic My Fair Lady tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl who takes speech lessons from professor Henry Higgins, a phoneticist, so that she may pass as a lady. Based on George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, My Fair Lady features the classic songs of Lerner and Loewe, such as “On The Street Where You Live,” “I Could Have Danced All Night,” “I’ve Grown Accustomed To Her Face,” and “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly?”

Religion Religion briefs Spiritual leader of African Hebrew Israelites dies

JERUSALEM (AP) — The spiritual leader of the African Hebrew Israelites, a polygamous vegan group that believes some black Americans descended from a Jewish tribe, has died aged 75.

B e n A m m i B e n I s r a e l d i e d S a t u rd a y, t h e g ro u p announced on Sunday. He was born Ben Carter in Chicago in 1939.

He maintained that some black Americans descend from the tribe of Judah, who migrated to Africa after the destruction of the Second Jewish Temple in A.D. 70.

In 1966, he had a vision that the angel Gabriel told him to "return to the holy land by way in which we came," a spokeswoman for the group said. He led a few hundred followers to Liberia, the West African republic settled by freed slaves in the 19th century. In 1969 they moved to Israel.

Indiana diocese wants ex-teacher's jury award cut

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) — A northern Indiana Roman Catholic diocese wants to reduce a jury's nearly $2 million award to a former teacher fired by church officials for trying to get pregnant through in vitro fertilization.

A motion filed Monday by the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend seeks to cut Emily Herx's federal jury award to about $300,000, arguing that such damages are partly capped by the size of the diocese's workforce.

The Journal Gazette reports diocese attorneys argue state law caps pain-and-suffering damages at $300,000 for employers with more than 500 employees and states that the diocese has more than 870 teachers alone.

Herx's attorneys filed a motion Monday seeking more than $560,000 in damages.

A jury awarded Herx $1.9 million on Dec. 19 after finding that diocese officials discriminated against her.

"In God We Trust" signs now hang in Kentucky Capitol

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky lawmakers will debate legislation in committees next year beneath "In God We Trust" signs.

The Lexington Herald-Leader reports state officials hung the new signs in 11 committee rooms in the Capitol and Capitol Annex, where legislators have offices and meeting rooms.

Republican Senate President Robert Stivers said the signs were paid for with private donations, not taxpayer dollars.

The ACLU of Kentucky and Americans United for the Separation of Church and State are not happy about the signs, but say there is little chance a judge would order them removed.

Legislators approved the signs earlier this year by passing an amendment sponsored by Republican state Sen. Albert Robinson of London. Similar signs already hang in the state House and Senate chambers.

Dining Delights Retired cook builds online encyclopedia WINONA, Minn. (AP) — Most big websites have a team of several dozen web developers, writers and editors.

Not so with foodreference.com.

The 20,000-page website — you read that number right — is written, updated, and managed by one man: James Ehler, who conducts his business from a small office in his apartment in Winona.

The 69-year-old retired chef undertook the project in 1999 after a successful career as a hotel and restaurant chef. At the time, he was thinking of writing a food encyclopedia, so he began collecting food facts and trivia — such as the story behind Caesar dressing.

"As I began to get more information, some stories got longer and longer," he told Winona Daily News (http://bit.ly/1AtiewM). "The other sections just kind of organically grew out of that."

In 2002, Ehler retired from cooking professionally and started managing the website full-time.

"As soon as I did that, the website took off," he said.

After 15 years of weathering a changing internet landscape, Ehler's website has cooking tips, recipes, who's who in the food world, a listing of more than 9,000 food festivals, and lots of other pages. It attracts more than 300,000 visitors each month and brings in enough money to put food on the table and pay the rent for Ehler.

He spends about 12 hours per day working on the site, everything from fussy technical edits to researching food reference books to answering visitors' questions.

If that seems like a lot of work for retirement, Ehler doesn't think so.

"This is a hobby," Ehler said of the

website. "It's a relaxation. It's also my job."

"I love doing it," he added.

Ehler maintains that he was tricked into becoming a chef.

A native of Brooklyn, New York, Ehler worked on Wall Street in his early 20s as a computer systems analyst before moving to Minnesota and opening a leather shop.

At the time, cooking was something he did on the side, just for fun.

"I had always cooked for friends, because I like to cook," he said.

His favorite dish to this day is sauerbraten, a pot roast marinated in vinegar and beer that his mother made when he was young.

After a few years in Minnesota, Ehler moved his leather business to Colorado with his friend, a jeweler, intending on a partnership. But he made some friends who were opening a new restaurant at a country club, and they asked Ehler to help out.

When it came time for the restaurant to open, the friends confessed they had intended all along to have Ehler work there as a chef.

Albeit surprised, he gave up leather work to give cooking a try.

"I started doing that, and I realized I liked cooking as a living," Ehler said.

He went on to apprentice for five years with acclaimed chefs in Colorado, eventually becoming a member of the American Culinary Federation and serving in federation chapters in several states. He was an executive chef for 20 years before retiring to run the website — his fourth career, if you're counting.

After retiring from cooking professionally, Ehler moved back

to Minnesota from Florida in 2005, because he found himself missing the four seasons of his youth. He plans to stay here for the rest of his life.

"Everybody thought I was crazy," he said. "I came back here and I love it."

Although you might expect an executive chef to be a little reluctant to share his cooking secrets, Ehler has no trouble publishing his knowledge and research to the world.

"That's the way I learned to cook," he said.

Besides, his mantra is a quote by French chef Fernand Point, who said, "The duty of a good Cuisinier is to transmit to the next generation everything he has learned and experienced."

"If everything I've learned dies with me, what's the point?" Ehler said.

Besides, a chef's secret recipes aren't easily stolen. "You can give the

same recipe to 15 different people, and one of them may turn out good," he said.

Another reason Ehler undertook the website project was because at the time, there were no good American-oriented food reference works — most of them were written from a European point of view.

Ehler wanted to capture America's unique food history and culture in a way that could be shared with others.

"It's fun. It's a big responsibility too — that's why I verify everything that I put up there," he said.

He references everything he posts with at least three sources, one of which has to be in print or from a university or government online reference page. The research is the fun part of it — Ehler confessed he often gets sidetracked while researching one topic and ends up finding a host of other interesting

material.

He has four bookcases full of cookbooks and food reference materials.

"The website isn't just the website," he said. "It's the research, the reading ..."he trailed off.

An avid reader, Ehler keeps a running list of food-related quotes from the books he reads, since most any book mentions food.

In addition, his fiction reading often fuels his curiosity for research.

Reading Patrick O'Brian's "Master and Commander" series led Ehler to explore the history of food in the British Navy, as well as prison food and American military food throughout the years.

Ehler has chosen to keep his website largely text-focused, like a book. Over the years, he's found that video links change and are hard to maintain, and text is more useful in the kitchen.
