ART BEAT
Aurora Theatre grabs 11 Suzi nominations Broadway has the Tony Awards. Atlanta has the Suzi Bass Awards, recognizing and promoting excellence within the metro area’s many talented theater organizations. Seventeen of Atlanta’s leading theater companies participate in these awards, among them Gwinnett’s own Aurora Theatre. This year’s Suzi Awards, as they are called in the industry, will be handed out at a gala affair taking place at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 8 at the Conant Center at Oglethorpe University. Hopefully, the talented crew from the Aurora Theatre, led by Anthony Rodriguez and Ann-Carol Pence, will be bringing home some Suzies. “It is so nice to grow over these past few years and be recognized for the work we are doing,” said Pence, Aurora’s associate producer and Suzi Award nominee. Nominees are selected based on the voting results of their theater community peers, which makes the number of Aurora’s nominations an even more satisfying accomplishment. John Waymire is chairman of the Suzi Awards Judging Committee. A resident of Norcross, Waymire also finds significance in Aurora’s recognition. “I think Anthony and Ann-Carol are absolutely passionate about raising the level of theater in

Gwinnett,” he said. “Their attention to production values, theater craft and their pursuit of the best talent available has resulted in educating the public through challenging plays and entertaining them as well with fantastic productions.” Aurora’s nominations run the gamut from best
musical production to costume design. One of the most exciting nominations is for Pence herself. Hopefully, by the end of the evening Nov. 8, she will be coming home with a Suzi Star Statue for best music direction for her work on “A Catered Affair.” Pence is particularly pleased the Suzi Awards recognize this category, an area not recognized by the Tony Awards. Pence is nominated along with music directors from the Alliance Theatre, Atlanta Lyric Theatre and Musical Dramatic Arts. “A Catered Affair” also garnered nominations for • See Aurora, Page 6

WRITING TO REALITY Playwright sees vision come alive on stage BY DEANNA ALLEN STAFF WRITER deanna.allen @gwinnettdailypost.com
As a playwright, Pearl Cleage eventually has to join the audience, to sit back and watch her story come to life on a stage. It’s not always easy. With the Atlanta resident’s current play, “The Nacirema Society Requests the Honor of Your Presence at a Celebration of Their First One Hundred Years,” now on stage at the Alliance Theatre, Cleage was fortunate to have been heavily involved in the rehearsal process, working closely with director Susan Booth and the cast to see her vision come alive. “You have a lot of input, a lot of collaborative time with everybody up until the moment that they have to actually step on stage and do the show,” Cleage said. “At that point as the playwright you have to let it go. You have to trust them to do all the things you saw in rehearsal that were wonderful.”

The role of Gracie is played by Naima Carter Russell.
The award-winning playwright and New York Times best-selling author was in the audience Wednesday as “The Nacirema Society” officially opened in Atlanta. The production is a joint collaboration between the Alliance Theatre and the Alabama Shakespeare Festival and made its world premiere in Alabama before the cast and set traveled east. Cleage’s play is set in Montgomery in 1964, an active period in the Civil Rights Movement. The family that is the focus of the play, however, is more concerned with the annual cotillion than FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2010 • WWW.GWINNETTDAILYPOST.COM • PAGE 7

own house.” Cleage said audiences will likely be able to relate to the generational divide between a grandmother, the matriarch of the family, and her 17year-old granddaughter, as well as the love-story aspect of the play.
“I think it was great fun for me because everything in a romantic comedy gets to come out all right, so it’s wonderful to write something that has a happy ending,” Cleage said. “I think this is a time when we can all use a happy ending.”

BY MICHAEL CLARK Movie Critic
Although she has won two Academy Awards and is considered one of the industry’s top-tier actresses, Hilary Swank has a dismal batting average when it comes to choosing material. Half of the movies she’s made in the last decade have been lame horror flicks or subpar action adventures, and even when she does pick seemingly winning dramas (“Freedom Writers,” “The Black Dahlia,” “Amelia”), they tend to be poorly executed and all of them lose money at the box office. Despite its impressive cast, Oscar aspirations and heavy-handed, spiritual uplift theme, “Conviction” mostly plays out like a generic and toothless made-for-TV film

that seems destined to become yet another commercial and critical failure for Swank. Like Swank’s non-fictional Oscar-winning roles in “Boys Don’t Cry” and “Million Dollar Baby,” her part of Betty Anne Waters here mirrors
her own real-life underprivileged upbringing. The daughter of a woman

Conviction • From Page 15 their captivating yarn. Goldwyn employs an outof-sequence presentation that’s not too fussy and the frequent flashbacks showing Betty and Kenny as children provide some much-welcomed back story and visual contrast. At the halfway point, “Conviction” goes from being a thoughtful and engrossing mystery into a rote and surprisingly lethargic police procedural/courtroom drama. Scenes taking place in prison between Swank and Rockwell come off either static and stilted or histrionic and overdone. The movie slows down to a veritable crawl whenever Betty attempts to secure years-old misplaced evidence and her many wild-goose chases serve no purpose other than to kill time. The only things preventing the movie from going totally off the rails are the three exceptional female supporting performances. Minnie Driver co-stars as Betty’s plucky lawyer friend who keeps her grounded and focused. With help from some severely gnarled prosthetic teeth, Juliette Lewis steals scenes as a Kenny’s highly suspect, white trash former lover.
With brief appearances at the beginning and end, Melissa Leo plays a possibly corrupt cop with a major ax to grind and she is superbly hateful. There’s a lot of often unneeded minutia crammed into Goldwyn’s 106-minute film, but it is what he doesn’t include in the closing epilogue that stands out the most.
In what can rightfully be described as a feel-goodseeking omission, Goldwyn fails to note a key event that happened to one of the Waters siblings after the 2001 retrial. Showing it would have surely brought the audience down, yet leaving it out also prevents them from knowing the full story. (Fox Searchlight)

NOWSHOWING Recently reviewed films now playing in theaters: • Nowhere Boy (R) The best yet of the many pre-Beatles John Lennon bio-flicks, this artsy yet warm drama from director Samantha TaylorWood hits on almost all cylinders and features two Oscarcaliber performances from Anne-Marie Duff and Kristen Scott-Thomas. 31⁄2 stars — Michael Clark • RED (PG-13) The best movie thus far of 2010 stars Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren and John Malkovich as retired C.I.A. agents who outfox their former employer while uncovering a touchy government conspiracy. It’s sly, smart, sexy, irreverent and fun. 4 stars — MC
13) Because of its overwhelming legalese/geekheavy, rapid-fire dialogue, this dramatic thriller about the dubious founding of Facebook is far from director David Fincher’s best effort, yet it is still a riveting, essential and mesmerizing watch. 3 stars — MC • Freakonomics (PG-13) Proof-positive that not every best-selling book is an ideal candidate for big-screen adaptation, the borderline tongue-in-cheek documentary
“Freakonomics” — with its six directors — applies theories of economics to social issues 1 with wildly erratic results. 1 ⁄2 stars — MC • Let Me In (R) Atlanta native Chloe Moretz thoroughly astounds in this English language remake of the Swedish “Let the Right One In.” As note-perfect as the original, Matt Reeves’ film proves that it is possible to make a commercially-viable, high-quality teen vampire flick. 4 stars — MC

• You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger (R) Woody Allen is treading water again in this been-there, done-that concoction of middle-aged romantic angst with a superb cast that makes Allen’s infrequently inspired comic oneliners come off far funnier than they actually are. 21⁄2 stars — MC • Life as We Know It (PG-13) Set and filmed on location in Atlanta’s Virginia Highland district, this romantic comedy starring Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel contains all of the genre’s clichés yet is also able to work in thoughtful subtext concerning orphaned children. 3 stars — MC • Secretariat (PG-13) This by-the-numbers sports uplift drama about the ’70s race horse is woefully devoid of actual sports action and top heavy with syrupy and maudlin melodrama. Save your money and rent the similar and far superior “Seabiscuit” instead. 2 stars — MC • Waiting for “Superman” (PG) This latest mixed-bag documentary from Davis Guggenheim (“An Inconvenient Truth”) puts the spotlight on America’s pathetic public school systems and the bullheaded, intractable teacher’s unions that are making the situation even worse. 21⁄2 stars — MC • The Social Network (PG-

Bryce Dallas Howard, left, and Matt Damon star in “Hereafter.”
‘Hereafter’ shows it may be time to let afterlife films die Eastwood’s latest movie one of his worst directing jobs Hereafter (PG-13) ★★★ ★★ BY MICHAEL CLARK Movie Critic
While “Hereafter” might not be the worst movie ever directed by Clint Eastwood (that would probably be “The Rookie”), it is by far his least satisfying. At 80 years old, the multi Oscarwinning Eastwood can do whatever he wants, and in the very slightest way, he deserves a modicum of credit for trying something different with “Hereafter.” Notice the operative word here is “different” not “new.” Making a film about
communicating with dead swept away by the monster wave, becomes people and the possibility unconscious and despite of an afterlife may be a the efforts of two rescuers new experience for Eastpasses away. Or so it wood, but it’s also a movie we’ve already seen would seem. It’s 10 minutes in and hundreds of times before. He brings absolutely noth- the narrative has reached its peak.

Hereafter • From Page 18 older brother Billy (the perfectly cast Jay Mohr). One of Billy’s clients (Richard Kind) wants to communicate with his deceased wife. After a brief clasping of hands with the client, George listens to the wife and tells her widower details only he could know. Once a prominent psychic, George got of out the business due to the mental toll it took on him and now operates a forklift at a warehouse. From what we’re shown, any time George touches someone he sees their past, which makes any kind of normal life impossible. After much beating around the bush, George makes this point quite clear to a possible new
love interest (Bryce Dallas Howard, overacting) but she still wants to see him in action. He reluctantly obliges, she freaks out and we never see her again. Back in Europe — England to be exact — the surviving pre-teen son of an alcoholic single mother can’t quite wrap his ahead around the recent sudden death of his twin brother. The living brother will do anything to “talk” to the dead one, and — in the movie’s only lighthearted passage — he pays a series of scam-artist mediums a tidy sum to tell him what he doesn’t really want to hear. Eastwood and screenwriter Peter Morgan (“The Queen,” “Frost/Nixon”) spend well more than 90 minutes with their hokum-
DISC SPOTLIGHT
heavy triptych where nothing interesting ever takes place. For a while the frequent moving about of locations gives us the promise actual substance will be coming soon, but it’s all just fussy, very boring subterfuge. The final scenes deliver the inevitable conjoining of the three principals and it couldn’t be more forced or awkward. During this time, George exhibits another psychic superpower that kills whatever minor legitimacy the movie had barely established and it is beyond clunky. To top it all off, the movie doesn’t end but rather just stops, providing next to no closure. As frustrating as it is, it fits; an inconclusive wrap-up to a rambling, inconclusive tale.

Moulin Rouge! (Blu-ray) (PG-13) Movie: ★★★★ Discs: ★★★★ Nominated for eight Academy Awards including Best Picture, Australian filmmaker Baz Luhrmann’s “Moulin Rouge!” singlehandedly revived the movie musical and won over millions who generally deplore the genre. Using the early 20th-century artistic renaissance in Paris as a springboard, Lurhmann’s tragic love story between a showgirl (Nicole Kidman) and a writer (Ewan McGregor) featured an eclectic mix of modern pop standards and the most dazzling choreography since the heyday of Busby Berkeley.

Film Fans: Audiences will laugh while seeing ‘RED’ EDITOR’S NOTE — Film Fans features local residents reviewing the film of the week: “RED.” Want to be a Film Fan? E-mail features@gwinnettdailypost.com.
★★★★
“RED” (Retired Extremely Dangerous) is “Bad A$$” for grownups. If you loved that movie you’ll fully enjoy this special — violent but comical and twistedly romantic — movie. “Be careful!” reverberates in my mind after watching the movie. Watch out when Bruce
Willis asks where John Malkovich got some torture implements (just shown not used) and he blurts, Alfred “At HD!” Richner I loved this action-packed movie as I totally ignored the violence of it all. “Mission Impossible” meets “Get Smart” on its way to an AARP big-brother-ish future while traveling cross country to unravel the
eliciting laughter from the audience. I enjoyed watching a cast of older actors that weren’t portrayed as stereotypical caricatures (with the possible exception of John Malkovich’s character). The film contained a believable plot, imaginative and colorful settings and postcard transitions, and punchy, witty and fresh dialogue — an allaround great movie. The violence, however, was a bit much, which explains my less than perfect rating. I don’t think kids would appreciate this film; it’s best left to an
story. Highly recommended. — Alfred Richner, Duluth
★★★★
I haven’t had this much fun at a spy movie in a long time. Instead of slapstick comedy or bathroom Jenni jokes, the McKinney humor relied on innuendo and subtle situational set-ups, which were quite effective in

★★★★ I admit the premise of “RED” does sound a little silly: Retired Extremely Dangerous (translation: old) spies Kenny being Grams hunted down and proving to be surprisingly unstoppable. But, the truth is, “RED” isn’t corny and the
premise works. It’s the right mix of action and comedy, along with a good story and acting. Bruce Willis plays the level-headed tough guy but without the “Die Hard” feeling. Helen Mirren is a believable spy who still knows how to handle a gun. John Malkovich, well, is just the right amount of crazy. The only down side is the little screen time given to Morgan Freeman. Overall I fully enjoyed “RED” and found it to be fun and entertaining. — Kenny Grams, Lawrenceville
