ARTS Artists highlight triumphs of 2010, hopes for new year Gwinnett arts organizations have made plenty of news in 2010, but 2011 could be a lot better. A quick series of interviews with several visual and theater artists active in Gwinnett show a great deal of pride, energy and hope for the future. They also offer some very good suggestions for how to better support the arts and create awareness for them. Ann-Carol Pence of the Aurora Theatre is very proud of how the Aurora has been accepted by the Atlanta theater community. Not only did the Aurora win three Suzis at the recent Suzi Awards for Atlanta theater, it was also named by Atlanta’s Creative Loafing newspaper as the 2010 Best Theatre Company in Atlanta. “We were up 422 season tickets for the season and 170 more mini season tickets have been sold as of today. Our corporate donors have increased their partnerships,” Pence said. Funding is a subject that
ART BEAT HOLLEY CALMES
runs through all conversations. “I would like to see county funding for the arts,” Pence said. “The county commission needs to set a good example. County funding also shows importance. The county builds a sports stadium, and we know sports are a priority. Lawrenceville committed to building the Aurora Theatre, so we know they have a commitment to the arts. We’d like to see that type of support (from the county.)” One other wish for the Aurora: obtaining a lighted, programmable LED marquee. “We have so many
events that need promoting. A light-up marquee would really highlight the over 300 events we produce each year,” Pence said. In the visual arts, two Gwinnett artists had plenty of thoughts to share. Rosemary Benavides Williams had some good practical suggestions, particularly about communication. “I would like to see a general monthly online calendar published via the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce,” Williams said. “Perhaps one that can be directly reported to by arts groups and individual artists for activities, subject to the approval of the webmaster.” Williams cites the improving outreach and activity at Tannery Row and the continuing growth of the visual arts in Buford as a plus from 2010. She is hoping for “the opportunity to create a body of work for a solo exhibit” in 2011. Vickie Johnson of Suwanee is one of the creators and administrators of the North Gwinnett Arts

Association based out of, but not limited to, the city of Suwanee. She has seen a definite growth in the arts, but has suggestions. “We still have a bit of fragmentation in Gwinnett County, however, when it comes to the arts,” Johnson said. “There are many organizations and groups that would benefit from joining as a unified front to promote here. We need a hosting group to coordinate all that each group
has to offer as a way of strengthen and sponsoring different events and activities that go on through the year.” “My hope is that the arts continue to grow in Gwinnett County. What better way to rejuvenate and encourage a hurting economy? No matter how poor I have been, I have always made sure that my home is decorated with art and beauty as a way of uplifting spirits in difficult
times. This is what the arts can do for our community. A strong presence of art in our communities will help to lift the spirits of neighborhoods and businesses as we all seek to fight back and recover from a difficult time in our country’s history.” Holley Calmes is a freelance writer and public relations consultant specializing in the arts.

Marvel gets new editor-in-chief BY MATT MOORE The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — After more than a decade spent guiding several of Marvel Comics’ biggest characters as an editor, Axel Alonso has been promoted to editor-in-chief, Marvel Worldwide Inc. said Tuesday. Alonso will oversee all of Marvel’s publishing aspects and will advise on their creative direction, as well as help develop new Axel story lines Alonso and new initiatives for the heroes and villains that make up Marvel’s roster, including the Avengers, Spider-Man, Punisher and Dr. Doom, among others. Alonso replaces Joe Quesada, who was Marvel’s editor-in-chief for a decade and its chief creative officer since 2010. As the company’s chief creative officer, Quesada oversees its creative endeavors in film, television, publishing and online, too. Marvel has expanded beyond the printed page in recent years, mounting film adaptations of Iron Man along with planned releases this year of Thor and Captain America. Marvel also promoted Tom Brevoort, another longtime editor, to senior vice president of publishing. Quesada lauded Alonso’s uncanny ability to shepherd titles from simple idea to printed product.
‘‘For over a decade, Axel’s been instrumental in bringing fresh new voices to Marvel and reinventing our biggest characters like Spider-Man, the X-Men, Wolverine and so many more,’’ Quesada said in a statement. ‘‘He’s fought to create unique imprints like Marvel MAX while also bringing fresh new voices to the Marvel family.’’ Alonso joined Marvel in 2000 as a senior editor and helped oversee critically lauded runs of Amazing Spider-Man and the XMen, along with revisioning western character Rawhide. He was promoted to vice president and executive editor in 2010. Alonso also oversaw cross-promotional projects, including the recent mashup that saw several notable NBA athletes reborn as super heroes in ‘‘ESPN The Magazine.’’ Alonso said he was prepared to step up to his new role, which comes in a year when the company has said it will kill off a member of the fabled Fantastic Four and is unveiling a new event series called ‘‘Fear Itself’’ that will play on contemporary concerns and fears in its comic books. ‘‘Marvel has a great history of the most dynamic and memorable (editor-inchiefs) in comics history and I’m honored to step into this role,’’ Alonso said. ‘‘I’ve been blessed to work with some of the most creative men and women in the world, bringing to life some of the most compelling stories you’ll find in any medium.”

MUSICAL
‘Oklahoma!’ brings rivalry, classic love story to arts center BY HEATHER DARENBERG STAFF WRITER heather.darenberg@ gwinnettdailypost.com
ATLANTA — The award-winning classic American musical that launched the songwriting collaboration of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein is showing this weekend at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre. Set in circa 1900 Oklahoma against a backdrop of the high-spirited rivalry between local farmers and cowboys, “Oklahoma!” is the cherished love story of Curly, a handsome cowboy, and Laurey, a winsome farm girl. Featuring such favorite numbers as “People Will Say We’re in Love,” “Oh What a Beautiful Mornin’” and “Surrey with a Fringe on Top,” this landmark musical is a true treasure of the musical stage. Based on the play, “Green Grow the Lilacs” by Lynn Riggs, “Oklahoma!” premiered on Broadway at the St. James Theatre in 1943. Running a marathon 2,212 performances, it became the first real phenomenon in Broadway history. Subsequently, the first national

MOVIES NOWSHOWING Recently reviewed films now playing in theaters: • Gulliver’s Travels (PG) Producer Jack Black plays himself as the title character in this modern day butchering of the Jonathan Swift classic satire. Adding insult to injury, Black surrounds himself with mostly talented British thespians called on to look and act like fools. 11⁄2 stars — Michael Clark • Little Fockers (PG-13) Maybe not the worst movie of 2010, but certainly a travesty on every level. The entire original cast returns — every one of them solely for a paycheck — and none is more pathetic, grating, unfunny and unlikeable as co-producer Robert De Niro. 1⁄2 of a star — MC • Made In Dagenham (PG13) Competent and pretty if not altogether memorable, this
artsy comedic drama about striking female auto workers in 1960s Britain is little more than a watered down “Norma Rae” with a better soundtrack and higher-end production values. 21⁄2 stars — MC • Rabbit Hole (PG-13) This drama is brilliantly acted, superbly written, impeccably directed and is a total downer. Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart star as the knife’s edge parents of a recently deceased toddler who approach the healing process in radically different ways. 31⁄2 stars — MC • True Grit (PG-13) This selfdescribed “non-sequel” from the Coen brothers sticks much closer to the letter and tone of the 1968 novel than the first film adaptation a year later and features a handful of standout performances, including one from newcomer Hailee Steinfeld. 3 stars — MC

Blue Valentine (R) ★★★★ ★
Michelle William Special Photos: The Weinste s, above, plays in Co. left, plays Dean C in “Blue Valentin indy and Ryan Gosling, at e.”
This is the type of role Gosling has been doing for most of his career and that, along with his unflashy, workman-like approach makes it appear like he’s never really acting. Dean is the kind of guy who bottles up his emotions but when his release valve is finally opened he can become unhinged. Gosling is a phenomenal actor and his performance
here is transfixing. Known to most for her work as the girl next door on the largely lightweight TV show “Dawson’s Creek,” the bulk of Williams’ feature roles have been complicated, nerveracking parts, and like Gosling the majority of her performances fly underneath the radar and rarely get the notice they deserve.
Together Gosling and Williams bring astonishing clarity to a couple most of us have known at one time or another and usually go far out of our way to avoid. If you don’t mind getting real bummed out along the way, they’ll impress you. (The Weinstein Co.) E-mail Michael Clark at clarkwriter@mindspring.com.

Blue Valentine (R) ★★★★ ★
Michelle William Special Photos: The Weinste s, above, plays in Co. left, plays Dean C in “Blue Valentin indy and Ryan Gosling, at e.”
This is the type of role Gosling has been doing for most of his career and that, along with his unflashy, workman-like approach makes it appear like he’s never really acting. Dean is the kind of guy who bottles up his emotions but when his release valve is finally opened he can become unhinged. Gosling is a phenomenal actor and his performance
here is transfixing. Known to most for her work as the girl next door on the largely lightweight TV show “Dawson’s Creek,” the bulk of Williams’ feature roles have been complicated, nerveracking parts, and like Gosling the majority of her performances fly underneath the radar and rarely get the notice they deserve.
Together Gosling and Williams bring astonishing clarity to a couple most of us have known at one time or another and usually go far out of our way to avoid. If you don’t mind getting real bummed out along the way, they’ll impress you. (The Weinstein Co.) E-mail Michael Clark at clarkwriter@mindspring.com.

FILM FANS GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINEE BEST ORIGINAL SONG Film Fans agree: Newcomer Steinfeld steals spotlight in ‘True Grit’ remake ®
“‘COUNTRY STRONG’ IS A MUST-SEE for any country music fan!” Tony Thomas – KMPS-FM
“TIM McGRAW CONTINUES TO IMPRESS
EDITOR’S NOTE: Film Fans features local residents reviewing the film of the week: “True Grit.” Want to be a film fan? Email features@gwinnettdailypost.com.
★★★★ ★ I liked the tenacity and drive of the young female star (Hailee Steinfeld). She did not let her age hold her back and she went after her goal. Surprisingly, the role Matt Damon played was not very engaging. Jeff Bridges was much more interesting. I really liked the use of old gospel J.P. Zinn songs in the soundtrack. They used “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms” quite a bit. Though vengeance is a common theme, it does not seem a worthy motivation. The federal marshal (Bridges) is more of a mercenary than a lawman and I hope there are not many like that in the modern forces. He had no recognition for the value of life and seemingly didn’t think twice about killing people. Of course,
most westerns are going to have gun fights but here it was often almost sport. There are some moments of comedy but overall nothing here to really draw you in and engage you emotionally. A nice story, but it won’t win any awards. — J. P. Zinn, Lawrenceville
★★★★ ★ The film is narrated by the adult Mattie Ross (Elizabeth Marvel). She relates that at the age of 14 her father was murdered by one of his hired hands, Tom Chaney (played by Josh Brolin). Gail NunezBlackshear While collecting her father’s body, young Mattie (played by Hailee Steinfeld) inquires about hiring the meanest marshal in town to track down Chaney in order to bring him to justice. This is an attempt at a remake of the old John Wayne western. Jeff Bridges gets some of the old western style down, but he’s no John Wayne. Matt Damon shows his
versatility and Brolin is the quintessential bad outlaw. The new actress Steinfeld was right on target. The remake does capture the original story and the action is now ramped up in the gun fighting scenes. It is a very refreshing take on the original. — Gail Nunez-Blackshear, Lawrenceville
★★★★ It has been a long time since there has been a western film. This movie proved to be a wonderful return. I was not sure how Matt Damon would do as a character from the Wild West, but he nailed the part of Texas Ranger LaBoeuf. I did not see
the original with John Wayne, however I felt Jeff Bridges played his part perfectly. Add in newcomer Hailee Steinfeld as the teenage girl seeking revenge for her father’s Sean Ahern murder, and you have quite the trio. The entire cast does a great job and the story rarely lagged. Each character is so well done that you empathize with their individual plights. If you enjoy westerns, this film is well worth the price of admission. — Sean Ahern, Buford

I’m also lucky because I never get bored with ‘Beauty.’” For Liz Shivener, who plays Belle, the job is the realization of a dream. Shivener said she got “really obsessed” with “Beauty” at around age 8. “Like a lot of little girls, that’s the age when I wanted to be a princess,” she said. As a child in Ohio, Shivener used to dance around the house and sing all the songs from the show. “As great as it is for kids to see the DVD version at home, it’s an
even bigger treat for them to experience it in a theater,” she said. “The whole world of this story takes on a much bigger scale. Kids don’t forget that.” Justin Glaser plays the Beast, and Nathaniel Hackmann plays the conceited village bully Gaston.
