On the Edge of the Weekend

People EAC delves into the SIUE archives "(Out of) Dialogue" exhibit open By JULIA BIGGS Of The Edge

very year The University Museum at SIUE collaborates with the Edwardsville Arts Center to curate a unique show that highlights art pieces that are a part of the museum’s archived collection.

This year’s show is entitled "(Out of) Dialogue" and is being curated by Matty Kleinberg, a visiting SIUE scholar in print making. The exhibit opened Feb. 12 and runs through March 18, and an opening reception is scheduled to take place from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Feb. 18. The University Museum at SIUE’s Collections Manager Erin Vigneau-Dimick, who has overseen the last two University Museum shows as well as curated last year’s Agnes Majtinsky Pal exhibit, explained that she chose Kleinberg to curate this year’s "(Out of) Dialogue" exhibit because of his printmaking background. “Matty is the visiting artist scholar in the department of art and design. He’s there for a year with them and comes with a really interesting and broad background in printmaking,” Vigneau-Dimick pointed out. “He has really worked with a lot of processes and the history of printmaking for a really long time.” Although Vigneau-Dimick has printmaking background herself, she said she preferred to have Kleinberg curate this year’s show in order to get a different viewpoint on the collection. “I think it’s far more well-rounded to add to the voice for the museum to get somebody with a view from outside,” she noted. “My view of the collection comes from a very specific view having to do with preservation and working with the

but was familiar with the medium, curate the show, Vigneau-Dimick felt he “could add a whole new idea about it.” “And I think it went really well,” she said. Kleinberg, who is also a 2008 SIUE MFA graduate, said that when Vigneau-Dimick floated the idea of curating a show from the museum’s print archive collection that he “jumped for multiple reasons One, I had never seen the archive collection and two, I’ve never curated a show,” he said. Once Kleinberg was on board, he visited The Museum at SIUE, which is a part of the SIUE Department of Art and Design, and went through every piece of print as well as some drawings and paintings that were in the museum’s archive collection. “And I tried to snuff out some sort of theme I could pull from those,” he said. “At the beginning, it was sort of works that were visually interesting or dynamic and that got us down to around 100 or 70 works.” As he tried to pick a theme from the pieces, Kleinberg said that he noticed a common thread. “It became clear right away that however I picked these, there’s always a binary. There’s always groups of two people or two somethings that were talking with each other or asking the viewer to talk with them.” “So there is a lot of figurative work where either two people are either successfully communicating with each other or maybe talking over each other’s heads or talking at each other, but their dialogue is very important,” Kleinberg added. The “dialogue” theme continued in the abstract works as well. From there, Kleinberg came up with the show’s title, "(Out of) Dialogue." Kleinberg spoke about a few of his favorite pieces that will be in the exhibit. “There’s a few really gorgeous ones by a lady

sort of dwell on more than the landscape. It looks like she may have been trying to detect the air or the movement of the breeze. For me they sort of gave pause to trying to feel like what sound is there, what lesson is floating in that air space? So I definitely felt that those pieces had a dialogue with me.” He spoke about another “really wonderful piece” by Robert Marx where the viewer is left “to sort of see their emotion” and contemplate what the subjects are talking about. “There’s a really wonderful couple that you’ll see right when you come into the gallery that are sitting on a park bench,” Kleinberg said about a Rod Otten piece. “It sort of looks like they should be talking with each other but they are looking straight forward ahead – not talking to each other. I saw this one and sort of joked about my wife and getting used to someone. The more you grow with each other, sometimes dialogue doesn’t happen verbally. I like that they are sitting on this bench clearly not needing to say anything but saying everything to each other at the same time.” Kleinberg pointed out that a second Robert Marx piece entitled,

February 25, 2016

“Faces” was a unique piece that portrayed two people and “highlights when dialogue breaks down or is needed and can’t be fostered. It could be two versions of the same person’s face, and it could be two people living in the same space but they exist in the same artwork. They talk or look past each other.” “I think there’s a good survey of just ways of either witnessing communication, witnessing dialogue, seeing it’s absence or maybe witnessing when it doesn’t work so well,” Kleinberg stated about the pieces in the exhibit as a whole. He admitted that whenever he talks to anyone about art and its impact for even a few moments, that he thinks he gets spiritual fairly quickly. “There’s something about art and art making that I think, when it’s done correctly and you find a piece that speaks to you, can sort of quickly take you to something outside of yourself or something outside of your own experience,” Kleinberg said. He was hopeful that the pieces in the show would give people an opportunity to possibly assess ways they address people in their own

lives, or don’t. “Maybe there’s a way to reflect a little bit and become better as they exit the show: talk more openly about what’s important to us, tell people what they mean to us more readily,” Kleinberg added. "(Out of) Dialogue" opened Feb. 12 and runs through March 18 at the Edwardsville Arts Center, located at 6065 Center Grove Road in Edwardsville. An opening reception will take place at 6 p.m. on Feb. 18. The EAC is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesdays through Fridays and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays. The artwork of Liberty and Lincoln Middle School students will be featured concurrently in the DeToye Student Gallery. “We’re really excited to have this continued relationship with the Edwardsville Arts Center, and as a museum to be able to reach out into the community and connect with the public of Edwardsville, the surrounding county, and the metroeast region,” Vigneau-Dimick said.

On the Edge of the Weekend

People People planner Museum exhibit focuses on terrorism in U.S.

Spies, Traitors and Saboteurs: Fear and Freedom in America, a special exhibition from the International Spy Museum, opened Feb.6 and runs through May 8 at the Missouri History Museum in Forest Park. This 6,000 square-foot exhibit provides a historic perspective on acts of terror that have taken place on American soil. Spies, Traitors and Saboteurs reveals nine major events and periods in U.S. history when A m e r i c a n s w e re t h re a t e d b y enemies within its borders. It depicts who the government and public responded, illustrates the corresponding evolution of U.S. counterintelligence and homeland security efforts and examines the challenge of securing the nation without compromising the civil liberties upon which it was founded. â&#x20AC;˘ Aug. 24, 1814 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The City of Washington Captured and the While House Burned. During the War of 1812, the city of Washington was captured and the White House, the U.S. Capitol and other major buildings were torched by British troops aided with information provided by a few Americans. â&#x20AC;˘ July 30, 1916 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Manhattan Hit by Massive Explosions in New York Harbor. German secret agents, aided by American collaborators, blew up a munitions depot in New York Harbor, showering Manhattan and the Statute of Liberty with shrapne l a n d d ebr i s . Act s o f German sabotage on American soil like this contributed to America's entry into World War I and inspired the passage of the 1918 Espionage Act still in effect today and the growth of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. â&#x20AC;˘ June 2, 1919 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Anarchist Bombs Target American Leaders. When the home of Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer was bomb by an anarchist and plots for more bombings were revealed, both the public and the government clamored for tighter law enforcement and more restrictive legislation for immigrants, resulting in the roundups, deportations and public outrage associated with the now infamous Palmer Raids. â&#x20AC;˘ Aug. 8, 1925 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 30,000 Ku Klux Klan Members Parade Down Pennsylvania Avenue. The nation's oldest hate group, the Ku Klux Klan, has risen three times in the nation's history. Each time, the group changed, evolving from small vigilante circles to huge violent organizations. They began inflicting terror on former slaves after the Civil War and grew into a politically powerful organization of 4 million that expanded its targets to include immigrants, Jews and Catholics in the 1920s. In the 1960s, they began attacking African Americans and civil rights workers. Today, a diminished Klan is only one among many white supremacist groups. â&#x20AC;˘ Dec. 7, 1941 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; American Helps Japanese Pilot Terrorize Hawaiian I s l a n d A f t e r P e a r l h a r b o r. A Japanese pilot returning from the Pearl Harbor attack crashlanded on the Hawaiian Island of Nihau, and with support of a Japanese-American, took hostages and terrorized the community. The incident, little remembered

today, perpetuated fears about Japanese Americans. Fears that ultimately led to the unprecedented incarceration of thousands. â&#x20AC;˘ April, 1945 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Kremlin Launches One of the First Cold War Attacks Against the U.S. Near the end of World War II, the Kremlin harshly condemned American Communists for softening their commitment to a worldwide communist revolution. The Communist Party of the United States snapped to action, ousting its moderate leader and re-establishing itself as a highly militant and subversive organization, fueling America's fears that American Communists would become Stalin's tool to overthrow the U.S. government. â&#x20AC;˘ M a rc h 1 , 1 9 7 1 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; R a d i c a l Group Explodes Bomb in the U.S. Capitol. Protests over the war in Vietnam and civil rights turned violent during the "days of rage" and extremist groups, such as the Weather Underground and Black Liberation Army, took action. â&#x20AC;˘ April 19, 1995 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Massive Bomb Destroys Federal Building in Oklahoma City. The Oklahoma City bombing, the deadliest act of terrorism on U.S. soil in the 20th

century, awakened Americans to threats posed by domestic extremists, especially the virulently anti-government right-wing groups. â&#x20AC;˘ Beyond Sept. 11th â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Terrorism Today. In the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, initiatives by the U.S. government to root out terrorist elements in the country have irrevocably changed the lives of Americans. Spies, Traitors and Saboteurs supports these stories with historic photographs, themed environments, interactive displays, film, artifacts and video. Exhibit highlights include: â&#x20AC;˘ A timeline that traces over 80 acts of terror that have taken place in the U.S. from 1776 to today, including the Revolutionary War plot to kidnap George Washington, the vents of Bloody Kansas prior to the Civil War, John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry, the 1960s church bombings in the South and the attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001. â&#x20AC;˘ APL Badge and ID Card (1917) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Carried by operatives of the American Protective League who spied on their fellow Americans on behalf of the U.S. Justice

Department during World War I. â&#x20AC;˘ Anarchist Globe Bomb (circa 1886) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Presented evidence in the trial of the men tried in connection with Chicago Haymarket riot (replica). â&#x20AC;˘ Ritual Klan Red Robe (circa 1965) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Worn by the Klan "Kladd," the elected officer who presided over the secret rituals and ceremonies of the Ku Klux Klan. â&#x20AC;˘ K l a n " b u s i n e s s c a rd s " â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ominous warnings to innocent American families that their every move was being watched. â&#x20AC;˘ We a t h e r U n d e r g r o u n d Video Presentation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Featuring an exclusive interview with ex-Weather Underground member Bernadine Dohrn, filmed for the exhibition. â&#x20AC;˘ Fragments of Planes that hit the World Trade Center â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Recovered following the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and used as evidence by the FBI in their ensuing investigation. â&#x20AC;˘ Under Siege â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A powerful

eight-minute film exploring the terrorist threat today, initiatives by the U.S. government to root out terrorists elements in the U.S., the balance between civil liberties and national security, and the impact on the daily lives of Americans. It features a range of interviews with leading thinkers including Daniel Pipes, Director of the Middle East Forum; Akbar S. Ahmed, the Ibn Khaldun Chair of Islamic Studies and Professor of International Relations at American University in Washington, D.C.,; Steven Emerson, terrorist expert and investigator and Morris Dees, co-founder and Chief Trial Counsel of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Spies, Traitors and Saboteurs: Fear and Freedom in America is a creation of the International Spy Museum. It will be on display at the Missouri History Museum through May 8. Admission is free.

People People planner App offers summer fun suggestions

“What should my kids do this summer?” is the question on all parents’ minds this time of year for those with schoola g e d c h i l d r e n . L u c k i l y, n o t knowing what’s available or finding out about a camp once it’s full are no longer worries for local parents thanks to t he f re e Web a nd mob i l e a p p Blueprint4SummerSTL. The app makes summer in St. Louis productive for children and stress-free for parents. The resource is accessible from anywhere on any device at http://blueprint4summer.com. Blueprint4SummerSTL first launched in February 2015 and quickly became the go-to resource for St. Louis-area p a re n t s s e e k i n g e d u c a t i o n a l , engaging and fun activities f o r t h e i r c h i l d re n d u r i n g t h e summer months. By aggregating information about area programs, Blueprint4SummerSTL gives all parents access to local summer o f f e r i n g s . N e w t h i s y e a r, Blueprint4SummerSTL will help even more families find camps by expanding in scope, including parts of Illinois, and listing more camps within St. Louis City and County, St. Charles County and Jefferson County. Blueprint4SummerSTL is

spearheaded by Maxine Clark, C E O o f t he C lark-F o x Family Foundation and founder of Build-A-Bear Workshop. Clark intends to keeps last year ’s momentum going and anticipates the app being parents’ No. 1 re s o u rc e a s i t c o n t i n u e s t o expand in reach this year. “In our first year of operation, Blueprint4SummerSTL presented more than 3,500 local summer camps and activities in an easy-to-use platform that was accessed by parents all across the greater St. Louis area,” said Clark. “Blueprint4SummerSTL is the most robust program information database – and best of all it’s completely free for all families to use. As the app grows its footprint, our goal is to make s u re a l l c h i l d re n h a v e e q u a l opportunity to enroll in these important and impactful summer programs.” U s i n g t h e a p p , a p a re n t o r guardian can quickly find p ro g r a m s a n d re s o u rc e s t h a t may work for the needs of their family and each individual child.

Blueprint4SummerSTL is the only summer camp database that allows users to generate highly personalized, granular search results based on multiple criteria.” C u r re n t l y m o re t h a n 2 , 5 0 0 s u m m e r s e s s i o n s a re a l re a d y listed, and the database is growing daily as enrollment periods begin and more organizations learn about the Blueprint4SummerSTL app.

The app also offers summer programs the opportunity to easily submit their camps for free. An organizer can simply create a free account on Blueprint4SummerSTL and then send an email to a l l i e @ b l u e p r i n t 4 s u m m e r. com with the name of the c a m p t h e y a re re p re s e n t i n g . Blueprint4SummerSTL will link the account, allowing the organizer to edit, update and add new program information Ta s m y n F r o n t , e x e c u t i v e director at Challenger Learning Center in Ferguson, Mo., said attendance levels at their 2015 summer camps spiked thanks to the free exposure offered by Blueprint4SummerSTL. “The Challenger Learning Center benefitted tremendously from Blueprint4SummerSTL. As a result of their marketing outreach through schools and media, we have seen an increase in the

number of families contacting us to find out about our programs and enroll their children,” said Front. “Summer activities are a crucial part of intellectual development that enable children to spend their vacation t i m e c o n s t r u c t i v e l y, d e v e l o p t h e i r p a s s i o n s a n d c re a t i v i t y, advance their learning and, of course, have fun,” said Clark. “Blueprint4SummerSTL truly is a blueprint that parents can use to build an enriching summer for kids and a less stressful planning cycle for themselves.” For more information about Blueprint4SummerSTL, to learn about programs and to connect with other parents online, “like” Blueprint4SummerSTL on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/ Blueprint4SummerSTL or follow Blueprint4SummerSTL on Twitter at www.Twitter.com/B4SSTL.

People planner The Fox to host Garrison Keillor

The Fabulous Fox Theatre proudly presents host/producer Garrison Keillor & friends live at the Fox Theatre in St. Louis for the final time at 4:45 p.m. on June 18 for the popular weekly radio broadcast, A Prairie Home Companion. This performance will be the last time Garrison Keillor will host A Prairie Home Companion in St. Louis. Tickets are $68, $58, $38 nad are available online at metrotix.com, by calling 314-534-1111, or in person at the Fabulous Fox Box Office. If you showed up on July 6, 1974, at the Janet Wallace Auditorium at Macalester College in Saint Paul and plunked down your $1 admission (50 cents for kids) to attend the very first broadcast of A Prairie Home Companion, you were in select company. There were about 12 people in the audience. But those in attendance thought there were worse ways to spend a Saturday afternoon, so Garrison Keillor and the APHC team went on to produce close to 500 live shows in the first 10 years alone. There were broadcasts from this venue and that, until March 4, 1978, when the show moved to The World Theater, a lovely, crumbling building that was one plaster crack away from the wrecking ball. (Now fully renovated and renamed The Fitzgerald, it is the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home base.) In June of 1987, APHC ended for a while. Garrison thought it was a good idea at the time, but only two years later, the show was back, based in New York and called American Radio Company of the Air. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no place like home. So in 1992, it was back to Minnesota and, soon after, back to the old name:A Prairie Home Companion. There has been plenty of adventure in the past 40-plus years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; broadcasts from Canada, Ireland, Scotland, England, Germany, Iceland and almost every one of the 50 states; wonderful performers, little-known and world-renowned; standing ovations and stares of bewilderment. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve missed planes, coped with lost luggage, dodged swooping bats and hungry mosquitoes, plodded through blizzards, and flown by the seat of our pants.

Today, A Prairie Home Companion is heard by 4 million listeners each week on nearly 700 public radio stations, online, and on the American Forces Networks, SiriusXM Radio, Radio New Zealand, and KPRG in Guam. Garrison recalls, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the show started, it was something funny to do with my friends, and then it became an achievement that I hoped would be successful, and now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good way of life.â&#x20AC;? A Prairie Home Companion is produced by Prairie Home P ro d u c t i o n s , a n d d i s t r i b u t e d nationwide by American Public Media. The program is underwritten by Ford. Garrison Keillor was born in 1942 in Anoka, Minnesota, and began his radio career as a freshman at the University of Minnesota, from which he graduated in 1966. He went to work for Minnesota Public Radio in 1969, and on July 6, 1974, he hosted the first broadcast of A Prairie Home Companion

in St. Paul. Today, some 4 million listeners on more than 600 public radio stations coast to coast and beyond tune in to the show each week. Keillor has been honored with Grammy, ACE, and George Foster Peabody awards, the National Humanities Medal, and election to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. His many books include Lake Wobegon Days, The Book of Guys, Pilgrims: A Wobegon Romance, Guy Noir and the Straight Skinny, and The Keillor Reader (Viking). He is the host of the daily program The Writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Almanac and the editor of several anthologies of poetry, most recently,Good Poems: American Places (Viking). In 2006, Keillor played himself in the movie adaptation of his show, a film directed by Robert Altman. He has two grandsons and in 2007, he opened an independent bookstore, Common Good Books, in St. Paul, the city where he and his wife and daughter make their home.

Religion Religion briefs U of Illinois menorah damaged for a third time

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — A 9-foot-tall menorah at a University of Illinois Jewish student center has been damaged for a third time in less than a year. The center's rabbi believes school leaders haven't taken a strong enough stand against the vandalism. Rabbi Dovid Tiechtel believes a strong stand from university leaders would stop the vandalism. Campus police say one arm of the menorah was broken early Sunday. Police have issued a notice to appear to a female student who plays on the softball team. She was not charged, but sports information director Kent Brown said a softball player and a men's gymnast are indefinitely suspended from competition. The menorah was damaged twice last year. No arrests were made in the first incident. A 20-year-old man was given probation in the second.

Kim Davis obeying orders in gay marriage case, judges rules

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A federal judge has ruled that Kentucky clerk Kim Davis has obeyed his orders in the months since she spent five nights in jail for refusing to license samesex marriages. United States District Judge David Bunning wrote Tuesday that Davis has allowed her deputies to issue marriage licenses. Bunning dismissed a request from the American Civil Liberties Union to consider ordering her to reissue licenses she altered to remove her name. After the United States Supreme Court legalized gay marriage last summer, Davis refused to allow her office to issue marriage licenses. She relented during a turbulent court battle, but altered the licenses. The ACLU asked the judge to make her reissue the marriage licenses. Bunning on Tuesday found that request to be "moot;" he said the altered licenses are valid.

Mexico, says his diocese will be getting tickets to next week's papal Mass in nearby Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, after all. KVIA-TV in El Paso, Texas, reports that Las Cruces Bishop Oscar Cantu said the tickets will be distributed through southern New Mexico parishes and Catholic schools. The diocese originally believed the Diocese of Ciudad Juarez would not provide them with tickets because of limited availability. But the Juarez Catholic Diocese said last week it has designated 5,000 tickets for the Las Cruces Catholic Diocese and 10,000 for the El Paso Catholic Diocese. Ciudad Juarez, on Mexico's northern border across from El Paso, is the last stop in the pope's scheduled 5-day visit to Mexico. Pope Francis is slated to finish his Ciudad Juarez trip with an open-air Mass on Feb. 17.

Nuns who help needy face eviction in San Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco nuns who serve the homeless are in danger of getting kicked out of their home after a rent hike of more than 50 percent. The San Francisco Chronicle reports that the sisters of the Fraternite Notre Dame Mary of Nazareth Soup Kitchen can't afford the rent increase from $3,465 to $5,500 a month as of Jan. 15. Their lawyer says the owner has served notice on the nuns asking them to pay the higher rate or leave. An attorney for the landlord, Nick Patel, says his client is in India and has put everything on hold and will assess the situation when he returns later this week.

"The Finest Hours"

Waves of water and nostalgia wash over the drenched and drippy "The Finest Hours," a Norman Rockwell painting tossed into stormy CGI seas. The disaster drama, directed by Craig Gillespie ("Lars and the Real Girl," ''Million Dollar Arm"), is a movie of curious contrasts: an unabashedly old-fashioned and overwhelmingly vanilla tale of awe-shucks-ing, double-dating 1950s seamen, told with the modern 3-D effects of your average end-of-the-world movie. It's about the 1952 rescue mission — a true story — of a fourman boat of Coast Guardsmen sent from Cape Cod to save the crew of the USS Pendleton, an oil tanker that a brutal winter storm has broken in half off the coast of Nantucket. "The Finest Hours" provides more working-class New Englanders bobbing in churning nor'easter currents for those who have been patiently waiting for another wave to catch since 2000's "The Perfect Storm." Here again is that formula of maritime adventure and Massachusetts accents (some believable, some that sink). This one has an Affleck. Playing the assistant engineer Ray Sybert on the Pendleton is Casey Affleck, who moodily skulks over pipes and valves in the engine room for much of the film. More knowing than his fellow shipmen, he attempts to convince them how to steer what's left of the tanker to safety. On land is Chris Pine's Bernie Webber, a timid, do-gooding Guardsman stationed in Chatham. The setting could hardly be more innocent; early scenes show Bernie's courtship of the red-haired Miriam (the radiant Holliday Grainger): seeds of sentimentality to fuel the action to come. RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "intense sequences of peril." RUNNING TIME: 117 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two and a half stars out of four.

"Kung Fu Panda 3"

If you're one of those people — and I'm with you — who roll your eyes when handed a pair of 3D glasses at the multiplex, wondering if all this rigmarole is REALLY necessary, then take heart: The lovely, color-popping visuals in "Kung Fu Panda 3" are well worth those darned glasses. And the evocative DreamWorks Animation visuals are accompanied by just enough heart, witty dialogue and kidfriendly humor — anything about gorging on dumplings, for example — to make this an all-around extremely satisfying third installment in the popular series. Like a well-made dumpling, it's not too heavy but not too light, has the right amount of spice, and leaves one with some appetite for the next time. Much of the appeal of the "Panda" films is, of course, the starry cast of voices, and it's fun to try to figure out who they are, rather than informing yourself beforehand (but if you do, stop reading here). Of course, you'll already know that Jack Black is back, and in fine shape, as Po, our rotund panda hero and reluctant Dragon Warrior. Black's goofy persona is perfect for lines like, when he discovers other pandas don't use chopsticks to slow them down: "I always KNEW I wasn't eating up to my full potential!" That was my personal favorite, but the kids in the audience were overwhelmingly partial to this one, hurled mockingly by the overmatched Po at his taunting, evil opponent: "Chitty, chitty, chat, chat. Chat, chat, chat." The film, directed by Jennifer Yuh Nelson and Alessandro Carloni, begins in the spirit realm, where Oogway, the ancient kung fu master (and tortoise), is suddenly attacked by the villainous bull Kai, a former friend. Kai has been spending the last few centuries collecting all the "chi" power from kung fu masters and storing it in amulets. RATEDL PG by the Motion Picture Association of America "for martial arts action and some mild rude humor." RUNNING TIME: Running time: 95 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

"Hail, Caesar!"

The Coen canon reaches a crescendo — or rather a warped inversion of one — in "Hail, Caesar!" when the brothers assemble a quartet of religious leaders from various faiths before Josh Brolin's 1950s movie studio "fixer" Eddie Mannix. The scene plays like a theological joke: the Coen version of a priest and a rabbi walk into a movie studio. "Does the depiction of Jesus Christ cut the mustard?" asks Mannix, succinctly. His agenda is to gain their approval for Capital Pictures' latest Bible epic, a sword-and-sandals movie led by the dimwitted star Baird Whitlock (George Clooney, looking particularly suited to golden age Hollywood). The question of how God should be portrayed in the film — a mere quibble amid the madcap machinery of a Hollywood studio — has been put off. An early reel of the movie leaves a tiny gap: "Divine presence to be shot," reads the insert. It's something like a summation of Joel and Ethan Coen's films: Meaning is a missing frame, human folly is the star and only the dialogue is divine. "Hail, Caesar!" is by no means their best, but it's in some ways the Coens' most essential. Having long made playthings of old movie genres, their romp through vintage Hollywood here is literal. It's a loving satire and merciless ode to moviemaking, where hapless souls serve no higher power than the Hollywood machine. RATED: PG by the Motion Picture Association of America "for moments of mild language, violence and sensuality." RUNNING TIME: 106 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

"Pride & Prejudice & Zombies"

"Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" is as silly as it sounds, and not nearly as fun as it should be. In this adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith's bestselling genre mashup of Jane Austen's classic and, well, zombies, the Bennet sisters don't just have marriage and love and class obstacles to fret about, there's also the imminent threat of the undead overtaking the land. Here, the Bennet sisters aren't merely unmarried gals looking for a suitable match, either. They're trained warriors who can and do protect their homestead. The most passionate, of course, is Elizabeth ("Cinderella's" Lily James). Early on the girls (Bella Heathcote, Ellie Bamer, Millie Brady, and Suki Waterhouse) get to show their bladewielding might against the fast-moving, brain-craving predators. It's actually pretty enjoyable, if a little manic. But director Burr Steers' attempts at melding these genres into one coherent film are clumsy at best. The film adheres sincerely to the beats of Austen's story — the balls, the scheming, the misunderstandings between Lizzie and Mr. Darcy (Sam Riley), the iconic scenes — while peppering most with a zombie scare or two. There is some wit in the simpler moments — a stoic shot of the Bennet sisters in the living room cleaning guns in their day dresses, for example, or the few famous verbal showdowns that are choreographed as all out fights. But that's the best that Steers can do to integrate the two very disparate tones sincerely. Otherwise it feels as though we're watching a number of movies patched together. Matt Smith and Lena Headey, in particular, seem to be acting in their own Terry Gilliam film that was kept secret from the rest of the cast. RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "zombie violence and action, and brief suggestive material." RUNNING TIME: 108 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.

"Deadpool"

"Deadpool" hates its audience, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. Nothing is sacred to either this film or this character (played with "I'm so naughty" abandon by Ryan Reynolds), which pokes fun at superhero movie culture, Hollywood itself, Reynolds, director Tim Miller, love and human decency — and that's just in the opening credits. On the page, it sounds like a lot of fun, and it starts out strong with a cheeky, self-awareness. But that wears thin very quickly for the raunchy, irreverent, and very R-rated bad boy property of the Marvel comic book world, which also seems to have matured to only a fifth grade level in its humor, wit, and ideas about subversion. The pervasive, toxic juvenileness suffocates even the more clever aspects of the film. It makes the entire experience a trying one, especially for the uninitiated who might be blindly expecting another "Avengers" or "X-Men." If superhero movies are going to continue to dominate the pop-cultural landscape for the foreseeable future (and they are), "Deadpool" is at least refreshing in its willingness to try something new. It is neither "Avengers" nor "X-Men" nor anything we've really seen before. No heroes are born. No worlds are ending. No cities are destroyed. The body count is still preposterously high, but it's not because some big baddy is blowing up a skyscraper. It's just because wise guy mercenary Wade Wilson (Reynolds) agreed to lend his body to some off-the-books scientific experiments in the hopes that it might cure his cancer. It does, and it gives him super healing powers, too, but his good looks are the casualty. RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "strong violence and language throughout, sexual content and graphic nudity." RUNNING TIME: 108 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: One and a half stars out of four.

"Zoolander 2"

In case you don't follow the global fashion calendar, Fashion Week has just begun in New York, bringing with it a few nice clothes plus the usual over-the-top weirdness — bizarrely themed runway shows and front-row fashionistas teetering on stilt-like heels, swathed in feathers and smoothed out with dangerous doses of Botox. Not coincidentally, Ben Stiller's "Zoolander 2" also opens this week, sporting everything we just mentioned — except maybe the few nice clothes. Of course, unlike Fashion Week, every element of "Zoolander 2," both directed and co-written by Stiller, is aimed at being silly and ridiculous — like the original 15 years ago, yet more so. And "yet more so" ends up being the problem. This sequel ups the ante so aggressively and relentlessly that you may find yourself pining for a relaxing night in front of a 2001-era TV, watching the original on a VHS tape. That's not to say that there aren't moments when you'll laugh out loud, especially when your favorite celebrity or designer appears for a cameo (is there anyone Stiller COULDN'T get to appear in his film?) But eventually you'll start to feel like your smile is sort of freezing on your face (Botox or no Botox); in your heart, you've just stopped laughing. But boy, those cameos. We begin with none other than Justin Bieber, chased through the streets of Rome for unknown reasons and gunned down, bullets riddling his body like in a "Godfather" film. Before succumbing, though, he manages to send a duck-faced selfie to his fans. RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America "for crude and sexual content, a scene of exaggerated violence, and brief strong language." RUNNING TIME: 102 minutes. ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two stars out of four.

"Zoolander 2" tries a bit too hard By JOCELYN NOVECK Associated Press In case you don't follow the global fashion calendar, Fashion Week has just begun in New York, bringing with it a few nice clothes plus the usual over-the-top weirdness — bizarrely themed runway shows and front-row fashionistas teetering on stilt-like heels, swathed in feathers and smoothed out with dangerous doses of Botox.

We begin with none other than Justin Bieber, chased through the streets of Rome for unknown reasons and

gunned down, bullets riddling his body like in a "Godfather" film. Before succumbing, though, he manages to send a duck-faced selfie to his fans. This prologue sets up the international intrigue part of the movie, but all you need to know is that Penelope Cruz (looking great) is the head of Interpol's Global Fashion Division, and she's trying to track down why so many rock stars are being killed (buh-bye, Boss!) Now back to the U.S., where our familiar heroes, male models Derek (Stiller) and Hansel (Owen Wilson), are living in seclusion on separate coasts — Derek alone, in the snowy wilds of "extremely northern New Jersey," and Hansel in the sandy desert known as Malibu, where he lives with Orgy, a group of possessive lovers including women of various ages, an animal, and — playing himself —Kiefer

Sutherland. Years ago, it turns out, catastrophe struck Derek's "Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good," and the result, among other things, was a rift with Hansel. But now, the men are suddenly summoned to Rome to walk in a fashion show hosted by mega-tycoon Alexanya Atoz (Kristen Wiig, unrecognizable, channeling Donatella Versace and murdering vowels each time she opens her inflated lips). Reunited, the two discover that the designer they're appearing for, Don Atari (Kyle Mooney), is a millennial who endlessly spouts trendy jargon. In one genuinely funny jibe at fashion designers, Atari's holding his runway show not at the lovely Trevi Fountain, but at an abandoned medical waste facility ("Totally toxic, but chill," he notes.)

"Deadpool" isn't for the kiddies By ROBERT GRUBAUGH For The Edge Just to get one thing out there real quick: “Deadpool” has nothing to do with the Dirty Harry movie from 1988. I knew that already, but this will give you a good idea of where my head is at when I go to review this week’s newest (gasp!) Marvel comic / superhero film for you. Yes, despite my significantly acute case of Superhero Fatigue (SF), I opted into watching the hit new movie at the weekend box office because I heard it flipped the genre on its ear quite dramatically. While this is mostly true, I still shudder at how many more of these increasingly popular type of films we’re exposed to in a given year. They dominate the headlines like Donald Trump and most of them have character

development that is just as damaged. “Deadpool” the motion picture is the origin story of Deadpool the character, one created by Marvel in 1991 as part of the Weapon X program that also gave more classic devotees of this art from heroes like Wolverine and Sabretooth. Deadpool is portrayed by Ryan Reynolds in this movie just as he was in a rather notoriously milquetoast cameo in 2009’s “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”. Before his conversion into a super soldier, Deadpool was Wade Wilson, a normal soldier. He was given experimental treatments to help save his life after highly metastasized cancer had spread throughout his body. The process left the wisecracking, foul-mouthed fellow with a remarkable regenerative ability that makes him invincible, but also with a disfigured mug

that actually made me appreciate Reynolds in the role so slightly much more. There’s a plot in the film, somewhere, about Deadpool seeking revenge against those that tried to use his powers for control of others and to save the woman he loves (Morena Baccarin), but it’s mostly just narrative structure around which Reynolds can riff comedically and do battle with Ajax (Ed Skrein), his battle axe-wielding nemesis. Colossus (Stefan Kapicic) of the X-Men is also involved. Now might be a good time to remind everyone that this film is overtly adult in nature, earns it’s extreme R-rating for graphic depictions of all forms of violence, sexual content, and damaging combinations of language that I know exist. Don’t be like uninformed parents and grandparents that took their kids

over this past holiday weekend to inflate the ticket sales for the film. 20th Century Fox doesn’t think your kids should see it and neither do I. Someone who does think responsible adults should enjoy this film, though, is its handsome Canadian star (also a new dad who’s married to Blake Lively, making him life’s lottery winner). Reynolds has actively been marketing Fox to produce a film for him to star in about this character for something like eight years which, in Hollywood, is a lifetime. I don’t have the affinity for the source material that he does, but I understand labors of love and connections to our beloved pop culture zeitgeist icons (maybe a stretch for Deadpool until just this week). And he did it his way. Deadpool comics are known for

February 25, 2016

their rough language and format bending rules. The red-and-black clad mercenary (aka “The Merc with the Mouth”) is famous for breaking the fourth wall to speak directly to readers and now audience members. For this reason primarily, a enjoyed the particular brand of humor from the movie that also led me to watch “South Park” for all of my adult life. The tittering opening credits are shameful and the final bumper scene at the end of the closing credits is more or less just what Matthew Broderick did for us at the end of “Ferris Bueller ’s Day Off”, but it still works. "Deadpool” runs 108 minutes and is rated R for strong violence and language throughout, sexual content, and graphic nudity. I give this film two and a half stars out of four.

On the Edge of the Weekend

The Arts Washington University to present "Elephant's Graveyard" For The Edge It is 1916 in Erwin, Tenn., and you will not believe your eyes. The circus has come to town! But live performance can be a risky business. As jugglers and acrobats parade through the streets, Mary, a five-ton Asian elephant, kills her novice rider. The crowd screams. The crowd shouts. The crowd calls out for blood. “Mary was the star,” says Jeffery Matthews, professor of the practice in the Performing Arts Department in Arts & Sciences. “But the town wants retribution. “They decide to lynch the elephant.” Acknowledging our history Mary’s fate is the subject of “Elephant’s Graveyard,” a startling contemporary drama — based on historical events — by playwright George Brant. “ I t ’ s a f a s c i n a t i n g s t o r y, ” said Matthews, who will direct “ E l e p h a n t ’ s G r a v e y a rd ” F e b . 26-March 6 in Edison Theatre. “The threads go out in so many directions. It’s about the way we treat animals. It’s about the technology of killing. Its about the reactions of the townspeople. Some are horrified, some are thrilled. They think ‘this will put us on the map!’ ” And then, of course, there’s the elephant in the room … The play unfolds as an act of collective memory. The Clown, the Trainer, the Ringmaster, the Marshal

— all take the stage, introduce themselves and share impressions of the fateful day. Witnessing and frequently correcting their testimony is The Hungry Townsperson, so-named for her ever-present bag of peanuts. “ T h e H u n g r y To w n s p e r s o n doesn’t romanticize or elide the past — she remembers things as they were,” Matthews said. “And I think that’s an idea the play asks us to reflect on. The past is part of us, it surrounds us today. What we remember shapes who we are. “We feel deeply for the elephant,” Matthews said. “The elephant is abused. Like the Trainer, we know the death is really not her fault. But as the Hungry Townsperson observes: “’Nobody talks about how they hung colored boys in Erwin. They just talk about how they hung an elephant.’” The cast of 15 is led by Jacque Randolph as the Hungry Townsperson, Joe Holley as the Ringmaster and Zach Hyams as the Trainer. Gemma English is the Ballet Girl. Ethan Evans is the Strongman. Michael Maley is the Tour Manager. Taylor Jordan Brantley is the Muddy Townsperson. Katie Simons is the Young Townsperson. Robert M. Kapeller and Noah Berkowitz are the Clown and the Drummer. Keary Watts is the Preacher. Bob Harvey is

the Engineer. Joshua Parrack is the Steam Shovel Operator. Jonathan Freeman performs on guitar and harmonica. Provost Holden Thorp performs on standup bass. William Lenihan, director of jazz performance, performs on accordion. The circus-in-the-round set design — which will bring the audience onto the Edison stage — is by senior lecturer Rob Morgan. Costumes are by Robin McGee, with assistance from Chloe Karmin. Sound and lighting are by Jon Zielke and Ricardo Solis. Henry Palkes is musical director. Assistant director is Zach Schultz. Stage manager is Savannah Throop, with assistance from Hannah Lillioja. Props master is Emily Frei.

For The Edge In celebration of Black History Month, Dance St. Louis returns with its very own commissioned production PNC Arts Alive New Dance Horizons IV. This groundbreaking and moving dance performance unites three nationally renowned African American choreographers with three local professional dance companies to create three unique, moving and distinct world premieres inspired by such legendary black St. Louis artists as Maya Angelou, Miles Davis, Dick Gregory, and more. PNC Arts Alive New Dance Horizons IV is February 26-27 at the Touhill Performing Arts Center. Tickets are $20, and are available by visiting dancestlouis.org or calling 314-534-6622. This year ’s participating choreographers are Bebe Miller, a native New Yorker and Bessie Award winner; Robert Moses, founder of San Francisco-based Robert Moses’ Kin and Stanford University choreographer-inresidence; and groundbreaking pioneer Dianne McIntyre, regarded as “one of modern dance’s reigning divas” with a career spanning more than 40 years. Dianne McIntyre and Dance St. Louis Ensemble in “When We Come to It” Dianne McIntyre’s inspiration is author and poet Maya Angelou. Angelou’s poem “A Brave and Startling Truth” will be recited during the world premiere, and the work also

features the music of trumpeter and composer Lester Bowie, who was raised in St. Louis and married to St. Louis soul singer Fontella Bass. McIntyre is setting her work on three former Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater principal dancers who now reside in St. Louis— Antonio Douthit-Boyd, Kirven Douthit-Boyd and Alicia Graf Mack—and a local dance ensemble, which was cast in September 2015 specifically for New Dance Horizons IV. Bebe Miller and MADCO in “Line Up Low Down” Bebe Miller ’s inspiration is one of the greatest jazz musicians of all time, Miles Davis, who was born in Alton, Illinois. It’s Miller ’s first time working with the music of Miles Davis, whose “groove is a constant reminder of how to seize the moment,” says Miller. Bebe Miller is setting her work on St. Louis modern dance company, MADCO. Robert Moses and The Big Muddy Dance Company in “Gunshots/Daffodils/Moans/ Still” Robert Moses is drawing musical inspiration from and using samples from a mix of St. Louis cultural legends, including gospel singer and preacher Reverend Cleophus Robinson, civil rights activist and comedian Dick Gregory and more. He believes his “work is about violence in general and gun violence in particular.” Robert is setting his work on St. Louis-based contemporary dance company, The Big

Muddy Dance Company. Dance St. Louis received a $75,000 grant award from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation in support of PNC Arts Alive New Dance Horizons IV. Dance St. Louis is one of only two arts organizations in the St. Louis metropolitan area to be awarded a grant by the Foundation in the area of “Arts and Cultural Heritage” this past year.

The Fox to host "Madea on the Run"

trouble with the local authorities, Mabel Simmons, notoriously known as Madea, is on the run from the law. With no place to turn, she volunteers to move in with her friend Bam who is recovering from hip replacement surgery. Bam is so grateful that her faithful friend Mabel is putting her on life on hold in order to nurse Bam back to health. Unknown to Bam however, Madea is only using the concerned friend gag as a way to hide out from the police. But as they sayâ&#x20AC;Ś all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to his purpose. Madeaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence at Bamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house is just what the doctor ordered. Bamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family is in desperate need of some home improvement, and it is the only kind of family makeover that Madea could deliver. Starring Tyler Perry as Madea, and Cassi Davis as Aunt Bam, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Madea On The Runâ&#x20AC;? delivers a couple hours of pure joy and laughter. With brand new music written b y Ty l e r P e r r y, t h e s h o w delivers a finger snapping and inspirational evening of theater.

Music Tuning in McMurtry to perform at The Sheldon

Touring in support of Complicated Game, his first new album in six years, James McMurtry makes his Sheldon debut, performing some of the most heralded folk music of his career. Considered "America's fiercest songwriter" by CNN, Grammy nominated singer/songwriter McMurtry uses poignant, literate storytelling to make the characters he sings about come alive. McMurtry has inspired and worked with artists such as Jason Isbell, Robert Earl Keen and John Mellencamp, and is a staple on the Americana Music charts. With multiple Americana Music Awards and a 25+ year career to his credit, McMurtryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vast catalog of lyrics - with topics both personal and political â&#x20AC;&#x201C; continue to ring true. McMurtry will perform on March 25, 2016 at 8 p.m. at the Sheldon Concert Hall Tickets are $27 orchestra/$22 balcony. Call MetroTix at 314-534-1111 or visit TheSheldon.org.

Fox to host Experience Hendrix Tour

The 2016 Experience Hendrix Tour will stop at the Fox Theatre for an 8 p.m. show on March 8. Live at the Fabulous Fox Tuesday, March 8 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $100, $85, $60, $50, $40, $30 and are available online at metrotix.com, by calling 314-534-1111, or in person at the Fabulous Fox Box Office. Hailed by critics and fans alike as the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Guitar Event Of The Year,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; the multi-artist celebration known as the Experience Hendrix Tour is set to return in 2016. These special concert performances present legendary artists who join together to pay homage to Jimi Hendrix. This next edition of the Experience Hendrix Tour will encompass twenty seven performances this coming February and March, stopping in more than two dozen cities along the east coast, midwest and southern states. Now in its second decade, the tour celebrates the

musical genius of Jimi Hendrix by bringing together a diverse array of extraordinary musicians, ranging from blues legend Buddy Guy to Black Label Society and former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Zakk Wylde, as well as Jonny Lang, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Eric Johnson, Dweezil Zappa and many others. Billy Cox, bassist for both the Jimi Hendrix Experience and Band of Gypsys, anchors a rhythm section that provides the foundation for exciting renditions of such signature Hendrix favorites as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Purple Hazeâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Voodoo Child (Slight Return)â&#x20AC;?. Jimi Hendrix was a pioneer in both rock and blues, and expanded the possibilities of what could be achieved with the electric guitar, forever altering the course of music history. Likewise, the Experience Hendrix Tour is developing a rich history of its own. By 2004, the first Experience Hendrix Tour came to fruition with a three-date string of shows on the west coast, starting in Hendrixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hometown of Seattle. By 2008, the Experience Hendrix Tour had become a full-fledged, coast-to-coast expedition that continues to date, without showing any signs of slowing down Audiences are presented the opportunity to see great artists paying homage to Hendrix and collaborating with each other in ways theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never do in their own live shows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is such an honor to be asked back for another run,â&#x20AC;? says blues/ gospel/rock guitar prodigy Jonny Lang, who has played every tour since 2008. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The music of Jimi Hendrix speaks to each of us in indelible ways. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another chance to celebrate his legacy.â&#x20AC;? Multiple Grammy-winner and 2015 Kennedy Center honoree Buddy Guy, who was both an inspiration to as well as a personal friend of Jimiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, is also ecstatic to partake in his sixth Experience Hendrix Tour. The stance he takes is akin to that of a missionary: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jimi Hendrix was one of the greatest guitar players ever and we all need to keep his music alive.â&#x20AC;? "It's an honor to celebrate Jimi Hendrix's legacy and greatness with so many other amazing players, who have become great friends and family to me,â&#x20AC;? echoes Zakk Wylde. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His influence and inspiration will forever be undeniable!"

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not simply about the sale, my priority is building the foundation for a long-term partnership.â&#x20AC;?
