On the Edge of the Weekend

January 23, 2014

People

In the Aftermath of Trauma For The Edge It is perhaps the most iconic photograph in contemporary American politics. Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and other top officials sit pensively in the White House Situation Room, watching a live feed of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden.

But what, exactly, are they seeing? In the video installation May 1, 2011 (2011), Chilean artist Alfredo Jaar, who lives and works in New York, explores the power of images, and their absence, in the post-9/11 campaign against al Qaeda.

The piece consists of two large screens, as well as a pair of smaller drawings placed to resemble gallery labels or wall texts. On one screen, Jaar presents the appropriated White House photograph, which was broadcast worldwide shortly after the raid.

The other screen is left blank, perhaps symbolizing the moment of death, or the public’s inability to witness the action directly, or the white noise of electronic snow. The effect is to create a new sort of history painting, one that depicts momentous events but also interrogates the documentary value of contemporary media.

In January, the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum will present May 1, 2011 as part of In the Aftermath of Trauma: Contemporary Video Installations.

Exploring both the experience and lingering effects of tumultuous events, the exhibition showcases the work of five video artists from around the world: Yael Bartana, Phil Collins, Amar Kanwar, and Vandy Rattana, along with Jaar.

Employing a semidocumentary format, these artists combine fictional and historical elements to engage with traumatic events ranging from the Holocaust and the Vietnam War to German reunification, the post-9/11 war on terror and the ongoing conflicts between India and Pakistan.

Confounding expectations about truth and reality, fact and artifice, history and memory, they investigate the nature of trauma but also seek distance from it, questioning and challenging conventional notions of representation and closure.

• Recovering (from) the past Between 1964 and 1975, the U.S. Air Force dropped 2.7 million tons of explosives across Cambodia—a fact concealed from the U.S. public for decades. Today, the Cambodian landscape remains dotted with large, circular, still-toxic depressions that fill with rain each monsoon season.

Cambodian artist Vandy Rattana was born in 1980, shortly after the fall of the Khmer Rouge.

Growing up, schoolbooks omitted his nation’s recent violence. Yet the craters endured—a physical embodiment of secret history. For Bomb Ponds (2009), a one-channel video installation, Vandy traveled to the Cambodian countryside, interviewing survivors and quietly documenting sites of destruction.

Poised between photojournalism and contemporary arts practice, the piece captures the stubborn endurance of memory and the gap between official accounting and personal loss.

Themes of repressed history also inform Amar Kanwar’s The Lightning Testimonies (2007),

Kanwar, who is based in New Delhi, revisits the chaos unleashed

by Partition, in 1947, as well as its enduring cultural, political and societal effects. Encircling the viewer with interviews, archival materials, symbolic images, everyday objects and scenes of natural beauty, this eight-channel video installation investigates how violence is resisted, remembered and recorded by individuals and communities. The result is a powerful testament to both human resilience and our inability to ever fully recover the past.

In marxism today (prologue) (2010), British artist Phil Collins explores cultural forgetting of a different sort. In the years following German reunification, few lost more than East German

teachers of Marxism-Leninism.

Bereft of position and philosophy, marginalized by history and circumstance, these men and women were forced to begin life again, assimilating to the capitalist West with varying degrees of success. Combining interviews and archival footage—from sporting events, state television and teacher training films—Collins depicts the human toll and melancholy afterlife of a vanished ideology.

Past and present, fact and fiction, trauma and memory, perpetrator and victim: all collide in Mary Koszmary (Nightmares) (2007)

by Israeli artist Yael Bartana.

Deploying the visual style of early 20th-century propaganda films, particularly Leni Riefenstahl’s Triumph of the Will (1935), Bartana introduces viewers to The Jewish Renaissance Movement in Poland, a possibly fictitious

campaign advocating the return of 3.3 million Polish Jews—the approximate number murdered during the Holocaust. Set against an ominous sky in Warsaw’s dilapidated Decennial Stadium, Mary Koszmary is a provocative act of political imagination, blurring the line between the real and the performative.

In the Aftermath of Trauma: Contemporary Video Installations is curated by Sabine Eckmann, Ph.D., William T. Kemper Director and Chief Curator of the Kemper Art Museum. The exhibition will be on view Jan. 31 to April 20, 2014, in the museum’s Ebsworth Gallery.

A fully illustrated catalog accompanies the exhibition.

Featuring an essay by Eckmann with contributions by Rakhee Balaram, Svea Bräunert and Ila N. Sheren, the publication

January 23, 2014

provides an examination of the contemporary aesthetics of the semidocumentary video and an indepth consideration of each artist’s work within the context of their artistic practices overall. Published by the Kemper Art Museum, the volume will be available through the University of Chicago Press and on site at the Kemper Art Museum shop.

A concert for a cause

By Scott Marion Of The Edge David Thomason has been in the music business for most of his life, but for him, there’s something special about a benefit concert.

That’s why Thomason, owneroperator of Edwardsville-based Carmen Concerts, is so excited about the Always a Shell Benefit Concert slated from 2-10 p.m. on Feb. 1 at the Bethalto Knights of Columbus Hall,400 N. Beau Chateaux.

All proceeds from the concert benefit the families of Roxana High School students Brooke McGuire and Brooke Swarrington of Roxana, who were severely injured in a car crash Nov. 9 in Bethalto. Another RHS junior, Samantha Owsley, was killed while classmates Cindy Scroggins and Michael Mielke, were also injured.

“I’m a born-again Christian and God put it on my heart,” Thomason said of his decision to organize the benefit. “I do a lot of this type of stuff. I collect for the Hope Center, which helps the needy and homeless. There’s another place called House of Hope, which opened last year to get young girls off the street when they’re pregnant or have little kids. It gives them a place to stay and gets them restarted. “(The accident) was a tragedy and these kids are all good kids.

They were straight-A students and they were all excelling in sports at their school and they were just out driving around.”

The injuries to McGuire and Swarringin were particularly serious, with both girls still facing months of therapy rehabilitation.

As Thomason made plans for the benefit, he found had connections to both of their families.

“I was having lunch at a place, and a guy came in that I’ve known for many years and we were cashing out at the same time,” Thomason said. “I asked him where he was heading and told me he was going to the hospital to visit one of his granddaughters (Swarringin).

“After getting the concert all together and posting it on Facebook, I got a call from a friend who used to work for me and she told me the other girl (McGuire) was one of her nieces. Those people are coming forth to help with the things I need help with.

“I’ve been doing this for a long time and the artists for this show are all good friends of mine. I just gave them a call and they said they would come up and do it.”

The headliner for the show is Ruf Records recording artist Samantha Fish.

“Samantha is a 24-year-old out of Kansas City, Mo., and she was in a band called Girls with Guitars,” Thomason said. “They were around for a couple of years and very successful, but for some reason they split and she went on her own.

“I booked her the first time to open for Johnny WInter at the Wildey (Theatre) and had had again last year with two other female acts and we called it ‘Girls Night Out.’ She’s jammed with Johnny Winter and Jonny Lang and she holds her own with a lot of great musicians. If you haven’t seen her before, she’ll blow your mind.”

Another featured act is the Nashville All-Stars, featuring: • Supe Granda of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils, who played

For The Edge

Samantha Fish, at top, will headline the Feb. 1 event. Ingrid Berry, below, performing with her father, Chuck Berry, is also scheduled to appear at the benefit concert.

Jan. 3-4 at the Wildey.

• Donnie Lee Clark, singer and lead guitarist for Pure Prairie League, • Ingrid Berry, daughter of and band member for Chuck Berry.

• Herb Sadler, original guitar player for Ike and Tina Turner.

On the Edge of the Weekend

• Keith Robinson, drummer for Chuck Berry.

“Supe is the front man, founding member and bass player for the Daredevils,” Thomason said.

“Donnie has been with Pure Prairie League for several years. (Country star) Vince Gill was with them

January 23, 2014

for a while before they broke up, and when they got back together, Donnie is the one who filled his shoes.

“He’s a fabulous guitar player and singer. He’s going to do all the hits like ‘Amy”’ and ‘Two Lane Highway.’“

Ingrid Berry, meanwhile, is one of Thomason’s best friends.

“She’s played with Chuck since 1973 and she’s one of the best harmonica players I’ve ever heard,” Thomason said. “She’s a great singer and songwriter and could have been a star on her own. She’s played and sat in with people like the Rolling Stones.”

A Venice native, Sadler also has local roots.

“At that time back in the late 1950s and early 1960s, St. Louis and East St. Louis was a big area for the blues,” Thomason said. “People like Ike and Tina Turner came here to be discovered. Herb had just graduated from high school and Ike picked him up and ran with him.

“Ike’s backup was the Kings of Rhythm and back then they were considered the best backup band in the world. They also did a lot of studio work with Motown Records and Phll Spector in Hollywood.

Herb is on a lot of Ronnie and the Ronnettes’ songs and he’s the guy on guitar on ‘My Girl’ (by the Tempations). He also toured with Etta James and Ray Charles and did some studio work with Bob Seger.”

Robinson, in addition to his current role in Chuck Berry’s band, also played for the Isley Brothers.

“Keith also played with Luther Ingram, who is originally from Alton, as well as Albert King and B.B. King,” Thomason said.

Jack Tweston and the Skylark Brothers are also on the bill.

“Jack grew up in Edwardsville and has been playing music for a long time,” Thomason said. “He usually plays with Supe Granda when Supe comes to Laurie’s Place.

He owns a video place, so he’s in and out of town.”

Local artists at the benefit are Mondin Band, Hill Williams Band and the Benbow City Ramblers.

“Mondin Band is from Alton and John Mondin is a great guitar player who has worked at music stores around the area,” Thomason said “Hill Williams Band is more of a traditional country band and those guys are from the Edwardsville-Glen Carbon area.

“The Benbow City Ramblers are a new band and they’ve got some fine musicians including Don Mitchell. They’ve got a lead singer who just moved here from California and he used to work for Warner Brothers (Records).”

The benefit will have a live and silent auction including music memorabilia, autographs, merchandise, concert tickets and door prizes. There will be a 50/50 raffle and food will be available.

“We’re going to give away tickets for Leon Russell, who will be playing Feb. 7-8 at the Argosy Casino in Alton, plus tickets for the Little River Band, who will play Feb. 13-14 at the Wildey, with a meet-and-greet pass to meet the band,” Thomason said. “We just booked Gypsy at the Wildey (March 29) and we’ll give away tickets for that.

“The Ozark Mountain Daredevils gave me an autographed photo with a CD and a ball cap. I’ve got some stuff coming from Charlie Daniels and several other artists in Nashville.”

Tickets are $20 in advance and available at Dee Lux Diiner on Route 111 in Roxana, or by calling Thomason at 670-3394. The Bethalto K.C. Hall, a converted roller skating rink, has a seating capacity of 1,200.

He has just fired the director of Gone With the Wind and the script is on its umpteenth version. He desperately needs a new director and writer -- immediately! However, the writer he wants, Ben Hecht, has

never read the novel and his director of choice, Victor Fleming, is not sold on the success of the storyline; but Selznick believes in this movie so much that he locks the three of them in his office for five days, with bananas and peanuts as their only food, to pull together a new script. As work begins, Selznick and Fleming attempt to act out all the characters in the novel while Hecht types. Take a fun, farcical look at the behind-the-scene birth of one of the most beloved films of all time. This production is scheduled for Jan. 23 - 26 and Jan. 30 - Feb. 2 .

Tickets for the Live Nationproduced “Uganda Be Kidding Me Live” tour are on sale now. More information and tickets are available at www.chelseahandler.com.

Tickets are $75 and $49.50 (price includes a $3.00 facility fee) She will appear Saturday, April 12, at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis.

Perhaps best known as the outspoken host of E!’s late night talk show, “Chelsea Lately,” Handler continues to offer international audiences her fearless honesty and tongue-in-cheek commentary every weeknight. “I've decided to go on tour and support my new book, Uganda Be Kidding Me. I think we all know how much I love the sound of my own voice” said Handler.

Handler’s latest book Uganda Be Kidding Me will release on March 4th.

Religion Troubled priest gets a second chance

By Ashley Power Los Angeles Times (MCT) TULIA, Texas — He was given a second chance here, in the High Plains of Texas, where a patchwork of cotton and wheat fields unfurls beneath a giant blue sky.

He was no longer Father John Salazar, a name typed across yellowed newspapers and courthouse microfilm more than 1,000 miles away in Los Angeles. He was Father John Salazar-Jimenez, the face of Roman Catholicism in this town of emptied grain elevators and darkened shop windows.

Yolanda Villegas adored Father John. A pillar of the Church of the Holy Spirit, she knew nothing of his past. Few parishioners did. Nearly every Sunday for a decade, she arrived for the Spanish-language Mass, knelt in the same pew and wondered how he’d inspire her that week.

“When he lifted the chalice and lifted the host, it almost felt like Jesus was doing it,” Villegas said.

They grew close as Villegas grieved for her daughter who had been killed in a car accident not long before the priest’s arrival in 1991. He later helped her teenage grandson Beau practice Spanish.

One day, in the spring of 2002, he asked Villegas to gather her family.

He had something to confess.

More than two decades before, Salazar was taking steps to become a priest in his hometown, Los Angeles.

He was drawn to the Piarist order because of its work teaching poor children. “They need good men to help form them,” he wrote in neat cursive in October 1979.

At 6 feet tall and about 200 pounds, he towered over the altar boys. He had toffee-colored skin, a welcoming smile. In glowing evaluations, part of thousands of pages of confidential records the L.A. archdiocese and various religious orders released last year, everyone praised the same traits that would later charm Yolanda Villegas.

A parish priest noted, “He has a sense of humor which easily wins even older more conservative members.” At a hospital, “He always asked the patient to pray for him also.”

He chatted up gang members. He comforted the sick and handicapped.

“John has a certain charisma that attracts others to him,” one assessment said. “Has almost a power over people.”

His demons, he kept to himself. He had never met his immigrant father.

From ages 10 to 12, he said during a psychiatric evaluation, his mother molested him. As a priest, he was drawn to boys only a year or two older than that.

In 1987, Salazar pleaded guilty to abusing two teenage boys and was sent to prison.

“I wanted to run from them, ignore them, talk to them about what was taking place, but I did not have the courage to do so,” he told a sentencing consultant. “I just could not stop and did not know why.”

Just before Christmas 1990, Bishop Leroy Matthiesen traveled from his home state of Texas to a mountainous patch of New Mexico. Pine-dotted and serene, Jemez Springs was home to a church-run treatment center for accused abusers.

Salazar had been there since his prison stint in California. He had been banned from the L.A. archdiocese, but like many abusers of his era, he had not been defrocked.

the priesthood, he said, though the most dangerous should be kept away from children. “We cannot in good conscience now wash them off our hands,” he wrote.

In Jemez Springs, Matthiesen sat down with Salazar. “He told me that he had developed a relationship with one of the boys. At that point I didn’t even ask how far that went,” Matthiesen said in an interview for a documentary called “The Scarlet Bond.” The bishop invited Salazar to Texas. “I was never sorry that I did.”

The bishop said he hired at least six more priests from church treatment centers during his tenure. Msgr.

Harold Waldow, a retired diocese official, said the actual number is closer to 20. “I sometimes refer to these guys as wounded healers,” Matthiesen said in the documentary.

“They could understand the weaknesses of other people.”

In July 1991, Salazar started at Yolanda Villegas’ church. He was still on parole. He soon used the last name Salazar-Jimenez.

At the time, it was common for bishops to shuffle abusers around, but very few had been convicted.

Fearing that the Piarist order could be held liable if Salazar molested again, its attorney sent the Amarillo diocese a copy of his criminal file.

In Los Angeles, Cardinal Roger Mahony dashed off a letter to a Vatican representative in

“What I want to believe,” he told his fellow clergymen in a letter during his criminal case, “is that you will treat me as the prodigal son returning back to the Father with open arms and rejoicing.”

In the Catholic Church, it wasn’t an outrageous proposition. Each diocese was essentially run as its own fiefdom, at least in personnel matters.

All Salazar needed was a so-called benevolent bishop, someone willing to forgive what the legal system wouldn’t.

The treatment center staff called Matthiesen. He ran the Diocese of Amarillo, where 38,000 Catholics were scattered across the Baptistheavy Texas Panhandle.

A plain-spoken man raised on a cotton farm, he thought of himself as a friend to his priests, even sharing beer and Doritos with seminarians.

By the time he died in 2010, he was widely known for his work protesting nuclear weapons and the death penalty.

Early in his tenure, Matthiesen wrote in his book, a furious parishioner threatened to hang a cleric he said had molested several boys. The bishop confronted the priest. He confessed. “I thereupon ordered him to leave the Diocese of Amarillo before sundown,” Matthiesen wrote.

The bishop later regretted it. Even convicted abusers had a place in

64th Annual

SAUSAGE SUPPER

Washington, D.C., shortly after he learned Salazar ’s career had been resurrected. Matthiesen, he said, was hiring priests who were “seriously disordered” and putting parishioners and the church “at grave risk.”

When Mahony told the Amarillo bishop about his letter, Matthiesen fired back: “I am able to keep careful tabs on all our priests. … What I observe now is a lot of good taking place.”

Halfway between Amarillo and Lubbock, Tulia must have seemed an ideal place to hide. In 2002, the clergy abuse scandal was rippling through the country, but in this town of 5,000 it was easy to ignore. The Tulia Herald carried cotton industry news, bowling team scores, reminders to sign up for Cowboy Church camp.

But back in Los Angeles, the clergy scandal infuriated Carlos PerezCarrillo, a former altar boy who says he was molested by Salazar when the priest was still in the seminary.

Desperate to find out where Salazar ended up, Perez-Carrillo said he called the priest’s old religious order.

They wouldn’t tell him.

members of a victims group, he mentioned Salazar by name. When a reporter found the priest in Texas, the Amarillo diocese barred Salazar from acting as a priest in public, church documents show.

When the priest asked Villegas to gather her family, about half a dozen people crowded into her living room, including her daughter-in-law Jamie, a Baptist who had been considering converting to Catholicism. With Salazar’s help, Jamie’s son Beau had already made his confirmation.

The priest who arrived was a shell of his usual self. This was not the man who had overseen construction of a nine-classroom religious education center and been honored for his work on at least three plaques on the small patch of church land.

Now he hunched over and sobbed.

He could have told the Villegas family about the conviction in Los Angeles. He could have told them about his time in Jemez Springs.

Instead, they say, he told a lie.

Years ago, he said, I had an inappropriate relationship with a young woman. If you hear anything else, it’s not true. It’s not me.

"Saving Mr. Banks"

For most scribes who have toiled in the movie industry, portraying Hollywood as a healing paradise is roughly equivalent to regaling a lobster of the soothing properties of a boiling pot of water.

Hollywood has always, and probably will always, chew up authors. From “Sunset Boulevard” to “In a Lonely Place” to “Barton Fink,” we’ve often had the writer ’s perspective on the painful life of movie scripting. Now, in Disney’s “Saving Mr. Banks,” we have the studio’s.

No one, needless to say, winds up face down in a swimming pool in the Disney version.

“Saving Mr. Banks,” directed by John Lee Hancock (a sure studio hand of inspirational tales like “The Blind Side” and “The Rookie”), is based on the true story of the tug of wills between “Mary Poppins” author P.L. Travers (Emma Thompson) and Walt Disney (Tom Hanks). Finally drawn by Disney’s money and years of entreaties to adapt her books, the extremely particular British writer arrives in mythic 1961 Los Angeles like a dark cloud indignant of sunshine.

She peers warily at “Los Ang-uh-lees,” as she calls it, from the back window of the limo that’s been sent to pick her up. Her chipper driver (Paul Giamatti) is infuriatingly American. She flinches when he calls her home “Ingerland” and, worse, says “no problemo.”

It’s just the start of the unpleasantness for Travers, who recoils at the thought of handing over her very precious characters — “my family,” she says — to Disney. When she arrives in a hotel room strewn with baskets and stuffed animals, she faces a giant Mickey doll in the corner, telling him he can stay there “until you learn the art of subtlety.”

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “thematic elements including some unsettling images.”

RUNNING TIME: 126 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

"Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues"

Can there be too much of a good thing? Where did that expression come from, anyway? If it’s good, isn’t more always better?

Discuss.

Or, actually, don’t discuss. Because, in the case of “Anchorman 2” anyway, the question is sort of pointless, isn’t it? Everything about both the original 2004 film, a cult classic of the Will Ferrell oeuvre, and its lead character, Ron Burgundy, was puffed up and absurd and ridiculous.

And so, why wouldn’t the sequel be even more puffed up, more absurd and more ridiculous? As long as Ferrell’s back (he is), and reunited with his wacky partners (he is) to form a veritable dream team of inappropriateness (they do), then what could be wrong?

Not that “Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues,” again directed with total self-assurance by Adam McKay, is a work of fine art. It’s a broad, low-brow comedy, which one imagines was concocted somewhat like a huge abstract painting: You throw gobs (or jokes) onto a big canvas, some spills over the edges, and it’s messy and lumpy, but hey, it’s all good, and anyway, the next gob is coming.

For those who may have missed the original, it brought us Burgundy, a TV anchor defined by his goofiness, selfimportance, good-natured chauvinism, and polyester. Set in the ‘70s, the theme was gender equality; Burgundy’s foil was Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate), who sought her own anchor chair.

In the sequel, the issue isn’t gender but the very purpose of TV news: To inform, or entertain? We’re in

10

On the Edge of the Weekend

1980, and Burgundy and Corningstone, now married, host a morning show together. Then she — alone — is offered an evening anchor slot. Burgundy? He’s fired (the boss is a gruffly funny Harrison Ford, sounding quite Brokaw-esque.)

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “crude and sexual content, drug use, language and comic violence.”

RUNNING TIME: 119 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

Two years after he made his directorial debut with “Coriolanus,” the terrific actor Ralph Fiennes arrives with his second effort, an exploration of an illicit liaison that Charles Dickens had with a young actress.

And “The Invisible Woman” is so different in every way from that first film — in content, texture, look, and pace — that, well, it’s tempting to call this “A Tale of Two Movies.”

Of course, both films are skillfully made, as one would expect from a talent like Fiennes (who also stars in both).

But where “Coriolanus” was visceral, violent, and virtually crackling with energy, “The Invisible Woman” is quiet, reflective, richly detailed, and slow-moving.

Nothing wrong with any of that. But it also lacks something crucial: Passion.

This will be particularly disappointing to those who see the names Ralph Fiennes and Kristin Scott Thomas together here, and remember the heat these two generated together, oh, 17 years ago in “The English Patient.” Alas, Thomas plays not the love interest here — that goes to the much younger Felicity Jones — but the love interest’s mother.

It is, though, a fascinating story — and a true one, first told in a 1990 biography by Claire Tomalin, on which the screenplay is based. When Dickens was 45, and at the height of his considerable celebrity, he met 18-year-old Nelly Ternan, a budding actress with a role in one of his theatrical productions.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “some sexual content.”

RUNNING TIME: 111 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

"The Wolf of Wall Street"

Digging into deep-pocket gluttony, Martin Scorsese’s dark comedy “The Wolf of Wall Street” highlights a world rich in drugs, fast cars and private jets. The American dream is amplified, yet those indulging in it are never satisfied.

In the film’s opening segment, trading tycoon Jordan Belfort, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, declares, “Money is the best drug. It makes you a better person.” This was the motto fueling a host of hustling stockbrokers in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and it sets the tone for Scorsese’s commentary on the extravagance of our twisted financial culture.

As we’ve seen in his films “Goodfellas” and “Casino,” Scorsese is keen on illuminating power struggles among a brutal backdrop. But in “Wolf,” swindling is the central vice, while violence is pale.

Adapted by Terence Winter (“The Sopranos”), “Wolf” is based on a memoir by the real Jordan Belfort, who became a multi-millionaire at 26 and served 22 months in prison for securities fraud and money-laundering before becoming a best-selling author and motivational speaker.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “sequences of strong sexual content, graphic nudity, drug use and language throughout, and for some violence.”

RUNNING TIME: 179 minutes.

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

"Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit"

Having clung to the Russians as go-to villains long after the Cold War thawed, the movies find themselves current again with their favorite arch-enemy.

Cooling Russo-American relations have yielded an opening for the return of Tom Clancy’s CIA analyst, just in time for the Sochi Olympics. In the Jack Ryan reboot, “Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit,” Chris Pine takes over as the spy who was played

by Alec Baldwin (“The Hunt for Red October”), Harrison Ford (”Patriot Games,” “Clear and Present Danger”) and Ben Affleck (“The Sum of All Fears”).

It’s a decent legacy of a dark-haired, intellectual action hero.

Ryan is a navigator of murky, reasonably realistic, international espionage worlds. He has neither James Bond’s preternatural suavity nor Jason Bourne’s visceral butt-kicking skills, but instead anxiously finds his way with patriotic cunning.

“Shadow Recruit,” which was scripted without a Clancy book by Adam Cozad and David Koepp, tells a new backstory for Ryan. Inspired by Sept. 11, he joins the Marines and is heroically injured in Afghanistan. During his recovery, he meets his eventual fiancee (a doctor named Cathy played

by Keira Knightley) and is lured to the CIA by a mysterious recruiter (Kevin Costner, unconvincingly trying to exude a Donald Sutherland-like gravitas).

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “sequences of violence and intense action, and brief language.”

RUNNING TIME: 105 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.

"The Nut Job"

Not all rats look exactly alike, even animated ones. But there’s a real resemblance between a rat in “The Nut Job,” the new film by Peter Lepeniotis, and Remy, the main character in “Ratatouille,” that wonderful 2007 Pixar film.

And that’s not a good thing for “The Nut Job,” because anyone who makes that connection will be likely also remembering how “Ratatouille” showed so beautifully that an animated film, done with the right skill and imagination, can be equally enchanting to kids and adults. Something that “The Nut Job,” a decent but frankly forgettable entry to the animal-centered animated film oeuvre, does not.

The movie certainly looks nice. Colors are vibrant, particularly the reddish autumn shades of trees in Liberty Park, in fictional Oakton City, where much of the action takes place. There’s a lovely moment where shimmering water reflects the leaves above. And the whole thing has a period feel — mid-20th century — which is appealing, though confusing, too, when you see characters break into what looks like very 21st-century dancing at one point.

Like most animated films these days, “The Nut Job,” a joint Canadian-South Korean-U.S. production, trades on its celebrity voices, which here include Katherine Heigl, Brendan Fraser, Will Arnett, Maya Rudolph and, most recognizably, Liam Neeson, who sometimes sounds like he could be on a Shakespearean stage.

Not that you could call this dialogue Shakespearean. Or even witty. This being a film about squirrels and their nuts, kids will enjoy the “nut” puns, and parents will groan. “Let’s not get too nutty about this,” one character says. “Sorry, I went a little nuts,” says another. The movie’s slogan: “No nuts, no glory.”

RATED: PG by the Motion Picture Association of America “for mild action and rude humor.”

RUNNING TIME: 86 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.

Leonardo DiCaprio arrives for the UK Premiere of "The Wolf Of Wall Street"at a Leicester Square cinema in central London on Jan. 9.

"The Wolf of Wall Street" sparks debate

By JAKE COYLE Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — In “The Wolf of Wall Street,” out-of-control stock broker Jordan Belfort is initially furious when a Forbes magazine profile turns out to be a hatchet job labeling him a “twisted Robin Hood who takes from the rich and gives to himself and his merry band of brokers.”

But Belfort, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, is quickly schooled on the rules of publicity. The next morning his office is overrun with rabid young brokers desperately waving resumes, dying to join his merry band.

The reaction to Martin Scorsese’s portrait of Wall Street excess has been comically similar. It’s been judged by some critics and moviegoers as a glorification of unchecked greed. But the movie’s bad reputation as an orgy of drugs, sex and money (not to mention

a reportedly record-setting 506 F-bombs) has also drawn eager crowds. In two weeks, the film has made $63.3 million at the box office and will likely become, if not an outright hit, one of Scorsese’s highest-grossing pictures.

“The Wolf of Wall Street” has turned into easily the most debated film in an award season otherwise lacking much controversy, aside from some scattered fact-bending concerns. Scorsese and DiCaprio have been on damage control in recent days, defending their film as a thought-provoking portrait of decadence run amok.

Nearly every film critic and countless moviegoers have weighed in on the morality of “The Wolf of Wall Street”: whether the film enjoys Belfort’s hedonistic high a little too much, or if tapping into the thrill of selfindulgence is actually the point.

“He does it because he can,” Scorsese said in a recent interview. “If you can do anything

because you can, what are we as people? Can we easily fall into it? I think so.”

The largest missive came when LA Weekly published an open letter by Christina McDowell, the daughter of a lawyer Belfort worked with, in which she described the hard realities of those victimized by the shady penny stock dealings of Belfort.

“Your film is a reckless attempt at continuing to pretend that these sorts of schemes are entertaining, even as the country is reeling from yet another round of Wall Street scandals,” McDowell wrote.

To the critics of “The Wolf of Wall Street,” the nearly three-hour film fails to sufficiently judge the actions of its characters or depict the victims of Belfort’s recklessness. The Wall Street Journal’s Joe Morgenstern called the film a “hollow spectacle.” It should be noted, though, that the Journal’s dismissal might be considered a badge of honor for any movie

about Wall Street.

And since the movie is based on Belfort’s memoir, the former broker, who was convicted of fraud and served 22 months in prison, has profited from the making of the film, whether monetarily or in publicity for his motivational speaking. He also makes a brief cameo in the movie.

As part of his sentence, Belfort was ordered to repay defrauded investors $110.4 million, a figure he’s unlikely to ever approach fulfilling.

A portion of his income goes toward a victim compensation fund.

Belfort has said he’s turning over all profits from the movie to the government.

The backlash, though, may be taking indignation for Belfort, who received a relatively soft sentence after giving evidence against his colleagues, and misplacing it on the movie. In an interview, DiCaprio called the film “a biography of a scumbag.”

Streep shines in "August: Osage County"

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge I have no problem with Meryl Streep. I just don't want any rumors getting around to her.

When the chatter got started up about Oscar contenders this year her name was thrown about for her performance as a druga d d l e d m a t r i a rc h i n " A u g u s t : Osage County," a dark comedy based on the Pulitzer Prize winning stage play from Tracy Letts.

Meryl Streep's name is always up for consideration because, y o u k n o w, s h e ' s g o t a n e w movie out. You can't discount the marvelous work over a long career, but I was unimpressed by the trailer for the movie. I ro l l e d m y e y e s , s c o f f e d , a n d dismissed it out of hand. My

mistake.

After seeing the movie last night I have learned the errors of my ways. But Ms. Streep is so supremely talented that she did one better to embarrass me further. She put in her time through a p r i c k l y, p lodding first half of a movie that really features supporting actresses (Margo Martindale, Julia Roberts) nicely before turning in a secondhalf performance that rivals anything Tom Brady or Peyton Manning have ever done. You'll forgive my football reference; it is Conference Championship Weekend after all.

Osage County is in north central Oklahoma, a barren setting ripe for a sad tale that really swelters in the 108-degree t e m p e r a t u re s o f m i d - A u g u s t .

Members of the Weston family

gather in the farmhouse of Violet ( S t re e p ) a n d B e v e r l y We s t o n ( S a m S h e p a rd ) t o d i s c u s s t h e re c e n t d i s a p p e a r a n c e o f B e v.

It seems the haunted father of this brood had hired a new cook (Misty Upham) and caregiver for his pill-popping wife, gotten his affairs in order, and walked out on a pleasant Saturday morning.

His girls - loyal Ivy (Julianne Nicholson), bubblehead Karen (Juliette Lewis), and angry Barbara (Roberts) - have all shown up with their families despite long absences by all but the put-upon Ivy. Vi's sister, (Martindale), her husband (Chris Cooper), and their son, Little Charles (Benedict Cumberbatch), also join in the commiseration of many. Casseroles, whisky, and too many painful memories from growing up in a poor and

verbally abusive household come to a head when the local sheriff turns up Beverly's body in a suicidal drowning.

If you think that this sounds like a simple story, it does come off just like a play would. But to carefully contain this many plotlines and big personalities within the walls of a proscenium is an impossibility. Maybe that's w h y t h e w o r k w o n t h e To n y, too. For whatever unintended and uneducated slights I may have thrown this movie's way, I became a forever fan the moment Roberts came over the dining room table at the funeral supper to slap Streep upside her nasty, hateful mouth. I want never to forget that scene. Many other sequences of realistic vitriol and despicable admission fill this picture with enough hate that it

January 23, 2014

makes any family with problems seem positively Huxtablean by comparison. Such atrocities include the aforementioned drug use, rampant alcoholism, incest, adultery, and some shenanigans between Bill (Ewan McGregor) and Barbara's 14-year old daughter, Jean (Abigail Breslin), and Karen's shady fiancé, Steve (Dermot Mulroney).

Letts knew what she was doing when she created this family that would need a miracle to heal itself. Maybe that miracle will rear its head when the Oscar nominations are announced.

"August: Osage County" runs 138 minutes and is rated R for language including sexual references, and for drug material. I give this film three and a half stars out of four.

Lorde brings tour to St. Louis As 2014 begins, Grammy nominated New Zealander Lorde continues her worldwide reign.

Already becoming the youngest artist to write all of her own material and top the U.S Billboard charts, her debut single ‘Royals’ [Lava/ Republic Records] remained at #1 for an impressive 9 weeks, topping the charts in an additional 45 countries and selling 7.5 million copies across the globe.

In March, Lorde and her band will be embarking on a 16-date tour across North America which starts in Austin, Texas, making stops New York City, Chicago, Boston to name a few and winding up on the west coast at the 2,800 capacity Fox Oakland Theater in California.

On December 3rd Lorde released the new video for her followup single ‘TEAM’, which is also currently climbing the charts. The concept for the video was realized

by Ella herself, as explained on her facebook and Twitter “(The video) was borne from a dream I had a few months ago about teenagers in their own world, a world with hierarchies and initiations, where the boy who was second in command had acne on his face, and so did the girl who was Queen. I dreamt about this world being so different to anything anyone had ever seen, a dark world full of tropical plants and ruins and sweat. And of this world, I dreamt about tests that didn't need to be

passed in order to be allowed in: sometimes the person who loses is stronger.”

‘TEAM’ is currently the #1 greatest spin gainer on the Alternative Radio charts for 3 consecutive weeks now, and climbed to #4 on the iTunes Alternative Singles Chart.

Her debut album ‘Pure Heroine’ [ L a v a / R e p u b l i c R e c o rd s ] h a s already topped most “Year End” lists including Rolling Stone Magazine’s who noted “Lorde's languidly aphoristic lyrics balance rock-star swagger and torquedup teenage angst”, and The New York Times, who praised “(Pure Heroine) commandeers those wideopen spaces with her lustrous voice and angel-choir harmonies carrying serious thoughts.”

On December 6th, Lorde performed live at the prestigious annual Grammy Nomination Concert and came away with an impressive 4 nominations, ‘Record of the Year’, ‘Song of the Year’, ‘Best Pop Solo Performance’ and ‘Best Pop Vocal Album’.

L o rd e , a l s o k n o w n a s E l l a Maria Lani Yelich-O’Connor, who recently turned 17-years-old back in September, is officially the youngest artist to top the chart since 1987.

'Royals' recently set a new record for "Longest #1 at Alternative Radio by a Female Artist" with a staggering seven weeks at the top.

'Royals' has held the #1 spot at Alternative and AAA radio for seven consecutive weeks, and it has become the #1 greatest gainer at Rhythmic and Hot AC formats.

'Royals' also soared to #1 on the iTunes Overall Top Songs Chart as well as #1 on the Alternative Songs Chart.

As soon as it was released,

'Royals' stirred up a frenzy online. It reached the coveted #1 spot on Hype Machine, and it has racked up over 150 million YouTube/VEVO views.

Last year, she took New Zealand by storm when her self-released, The Love Club EP, rose to #1 on the country's top albums chart.

Lorde will appear on March 20 at the Peabody Opera House in St. Louis.

Tickets are $45 AND $35 ($3 Facility Fee Included) and are are available at TicketMaster.com, TicketMaster retail outlets or by phone at 1-800-745-3000

Above, the Muhammad Ali Center. Below, the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory.

Exploring Louisville's museums For The Edge Louisville recently turned up in the pages of National Geographic Traveler magazine as one of several “Best of the World” destinations.

While the city was recognized in the magazine’s December-January issue mainly for its resurgent bourbon industry, Louisville has also earned accolades for its cultural and historic resources.

Downtown boasts several unique attractions ideal for a memorable winter escape. West Main Street’s “Museum Row” includes the Frazier History Museum, Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, Muhammad Ali Center, Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft, Kentucky Science Center and others. You don’t have to be a buff. Just bring your curiosity and willingness to learn something new.

The Frazier History Museum covers more than 1,000 years of world and American history.

The museum displays one of the nation’s largest collections of toy soldiers, numbering more than 10,000.

A special exhibit on view through March 2, “The Eye of Napoleon,” is a visual narrative of the extravagant life of one of history's most admired and feared figures.

Featuring more than 200 rare treasures, this private collection includes paintings, sculptures, fine furniture, jewels, and clothing; one of the most notable items is the vintage hat worn by Napoleon during the 1809 Battle of Essling.

To mark this special exhibit, the Frazier will host a four-week series of extended Saturday night hours on Jan. 11, 18, 25 and Feb. 1. With a

cash bar, the museum will remain open until 9 p.m. all four Saturdays.

On Jan. 11 the event Date Night in Paris will feature French music, a French film, French lessons and

French specialty cocktails.

Princess Diana exhibit held over this weekend For The Edge Originally scheduled to close January 5, 2014, Diana, A Celebration, which chronicles the life of the late Diana, Princess of Wales, now on exhibit at the Putnam Museum in Davenport, Iowa, and will remain on view through January 26, 2014, by popular demand.

More than a decade after her death, Princess Diana’s memory still stirs interest and emotion. On loan from Althorp Estate in England, the award-winning exhibition Diana, A Celebration chronicles the life and work of Diana, Princess of Wales, through 150 objects, including her famed royal wedding gown.

“The Putnam Museum is honored to be one of the last three places this remarkable exhibit will ever be available to the public,” stated Putnam Museum President/CEO, Kim Findlay. “The exhibition gives us an opportunity to be close to the compassion and sense of natural sophistication for which Princess Diana became legendary. We remember watching the Royal Wedding on TV

16

and Princess Diana’s amazing wedding gown.

This exhibition gives us an opportunity to relive that moment in modern culture as we can literally stand beside her gown with its 25foot train.”

The exhibition presents the life and humanitarian work of one of the 20th century’s most remarkable women through nine galleries containing 150 objects-ranging from her royal wedding gown and 28 of her designer dresses to family heirlooms, personal mementoes, paintings and rare home movies and photos.

The exhibition is on loan from the Althorp Estate, the Spencer family’s 500-year-old ancestral home. Once the global tour ends in summer 2014, the priceless collection will go to Diana’s sons as was directed in her will.

The items will remain with the family and be safeguarded for future generations.

The exhibition showcases the life and work of one of the most remarkable women of her time – certainly one of the most photographed, with over one billion television viewers

The Arts SIUE's Arts & Issues series set to jump into 2014

By JULIA BIGGS Of The Edge

B

reathtaking, physical and exciting are just three of the many words that describe what you can expect at the next SIUE Arts & Issues performance when LehrerDance graces the Dunham Hall Theater stage at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 1. The performance is sponsored by Commerce Bank.

An international, professional dance company, LehrerDance blends artistry with athleticism in its unique and captivating choreography that has also been described as “stunning” by the “Buffalo News” and “brilliant” by the “Chicago Times.”

The mastermind behind LehrerDance is Jon Lehrer, a native of Queens, N.Y. who actually entered the field of dance in the most unusual way – a dare. Lehrer was studying business at the University of Buffalo when he boasted to his wife, who was his girlfriend at the time, that he could undoubtedly get an “A” in her dance class because it looked easy.

She challenged him, in essence to prove it, by taking a dance class which Lehrer did, got an “A” and found his life's calling all at the same time.

Lehrer continued his training at the University at Buffalo where he obtained his B.F.A. in dance.

He acquired his first professional position as a company member with the John Passafiume Dancers in NYC. In September 1995, Jon was hired by the internationally acclaimed Erick Hawkins Dance Company and for the next year toured the world. Looking for a change, Lehrer worked for six months dancing in a Vegas-style show in Merv Griffin’s Funderful at Resorts Casino/Hotel in Atlantic City.

Wanting to get back into concert dance, Lehrer auditioned and was hired by Giordano Jazz Dance Chicago (GJDC) where after just three years he was promoted to Rehearsal Director, and two years later was promoted to Associate Director. Lehrer performed with GJDC for 10 years before focusing solely on his Associate Director responsibilities which included serving as tour manager and the company's resident choreographer in which he produced seven original works that received rave reviews.

“In addition to his works on GJDC, Lehrer has choreographed for several dance companies in Chicago and around the world including; Thodos Dance Chicago, Instruments of Movement, Momenta Dance Theatre, Louisiana Dance Theatre, Le Jazz Groupe from Monterrey, Mexico, and Kannon Dance of St. Petersburg, Russia,” Lehrer's biography states on the LehrerDance Web site.

“Jon has also set his choreography on many University dance companies including the University at Buffalo, University of Nevada Las Vegas, University of Nevada Reno, East Central University, Northern Illinois University, and Hope College. In 2002 Jon was one of four Chicago choreographers

For The Edge

Pictured are two scenes from LehrerDance. selected to participate in the first ever Dance Chicago Choreography Project, sponsored by the Chicago Community Trust and Sara Lee; and was selected to participate again in 2004. Through the Project, Jon set an original work on dancers from the Joffrey Ballet, and another on Thodos Dance Chicago.”

In 2007 Lehrer opened LehrerDance in Buffalo, NY, and the company has been taking the dance world by storm ever since receiving rave reviews as it has toured around the country and world.

In 2011, LehrerDance began its season on a three-week, 15city European tour that took the company to Germany, Switzerland and Luxembourg. Then after a successful tour to Russia in 2012, LehrerDance was invited back for two performances just this past December.

In an interview for a client feature spotlight for the accounting firm Lougen, Valenti, Bookbinder & Weintraub, Lehrer states what makes LehrerDance unique. “On an artistic level, what sets us apart

from other dance companies, both here and around the world, is our artistry and accessibility all rolled into one,” Lehrer states in the article.

“At LehrerDance we pride ourselves on being equally artistic as well as entertaining. Whether you are a dance aficionado or someone just looking to be entertained, we have it all.”

The LehrerDance style is described on its Web site as being based on three main elements of movement: Circularity, 3Dimensionality, and Momentum.

“These combine to create a form best

January 23, 2014

described as “Organically Athletic” – integrating the approach and fluidity of modern dance with the excitement and energy of jazz dance to create an expressive, engrossing style of movement,” Lehrer's Web site points out.

And although LehrerDance is comprised of but eight individuals, they each bring their unique skill to the performance “from BreakDancing to Modern, Ballet to Gymnastics, each dancer adds their own spice to the LehrerDance mix, keeping it fresh and evolving.”

Tickets for LehrerDance may be purchased at the Dunham Hall Fine Arts Box Office from 8 a.m. until noon, the Information Booth at the Morris University Center, by calling 618-650-5774, or online at artsandissues.com. General admission is $25 while SIUE staff, retirees, alumni, students and seniors over 65 are $20. SIUE student ticket prices are $15. If you have any questions, or would like an Arts & Issues season brochure, contact the Arts & Issues office at 650-5194.

The Arts Artistic adventures CAM announces exhibition lineup In spring 2014, the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis (CAM) continues to celebrate its tenth anniversary with career surveys of two major American artists and exhibition series that activate all corners of the Museum―with art inside and out.

Nicole Eisenman: In Love with My Nemesis January 24–April 13, 2014 The largest definitive mid-career survey of the work of celebrated American artist Nicole Eisenman to date, In Love with My Nemesisincludes more than 120 works, charting the development of Eisenman's practice across painting, printmaking, and drawing from the 1990s to the present.

Joyce Pensato: I KILLED KENNY January 24–April 13, 2014 Joyce Pensato: I KILLED KENNY, the artist’s first museum survey, brings together new and recent work with seminal earlier pieces, featuring a monumental site-specific mural of pop-culture icon Mickey Mouse as well as charcoal drawings, key paintings, and collages.

Readykeulous by Ridykeulous: This is What Liberation Feels Like™ 24–April 13, 2014 Organized by artists Nicole Eisenman and A.L. Steiner, who together form the curatorial initiative Ridykeulous, This is What Liberation Feels Like™ presents an array of emotionally charged works by over forty artists and activists.

Ron Gorchov: Entrance January 24–April 13, 2014 Simultaneously painting, sculpture, and architecture, Entrance, first created in 1972, allows viewers to rediscover the practice of an artist who has been working for more than fifty years.

Front Room Tomasz Kowalski 24–March 2, 2014 Featuring new work by a key figure among today’s young Polish artists, Tomasz Kowalskiis the artist’s first solo museum show in the United States and includes a series of paintings inspired by Polish theater and stage design.

Street Views Takeshi Murata: Melter 2 January 24–April 27, 2014 Takeshi Murata: Melter 2―the second exhibition in the Street Viewsseries of large-scale video art―transforms the Museum’s Washington Boulevard facade into a brightly colored animation that undulates, drips, and melts from one form to another.

Audible Interruptions Nathan Cook and Andrew James 24–April 13, 2014 The second installment of the Audible Interruptionssound art series features new work by St. Louis-based artists Nathan Cook and Andrew James with exhibitions in CAM's elevator and first-floor hallway.

2014 OPENING PROGRAMS Artist Talk: Joyce Pensato Tuesday, January 21, 7:00 pm Free and open to the public.

Before the exhibitions open, join Joyce Pensato in CAM’s main galleries to see her work in progress. Using the mural she is creating on site at CAM, Pensato will discuss her working process and concerns.

Opening Night: Spring Exhibitions Friday, January 24 Member Preview: 6:00 pm Public Reception: 7:00–9:00 pm Artist Talk: Nicole Eisenman Saturday, January 25, 11:00 am Free and open to the public.

Winner of the 2013 Carnegie Prize Nicole Eiseman discusses her work, recently noted by the New Yorkerfor its images of “pansexual ribaldry and bohemian saloon society.”

The Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis (CAM) presents, supports, and celebrates the art of our time. It is the premier museum in St. Louis dedicated to contemporary art.
