It’s not uncommon for political parties to groom opponents to oust politicians they see as being disloyal to the party. Not in this case.

Dallas duo holes up, breaks out with an album he O’s are set to release a new record, and the Dallas two-piece is touring Texas, Washington and California. They stop by Denton on Friday.

Taylor Young and John Pedigo have spent time in other acts, playing everything from rockabilly and punk to whatever pop hybrid is produced by the Polyphonic Spree. The pair’s latest album, Honeycomb, is due out Feb. 5.

It was a bit of a chore to get the record done, Pedigo said.

“We were all set to record the album at a studio in Dripping Springs, Texas, but the month before we were scheduled to record, the entire studio was ruined by a flood and we were displaced.” says Pedigo. “We had to figure something out fast — like two weeks fast.”

The O’s had just played the River Road Icehouse in New Braunfels.

COVER STORY

The king who roared Drama ‘Lion in Winter’ pits royal pair in chess match of wills

By Lucinda Breeding | Staff Writer cbreeding@dentonrc.com Courtesy photos/Ed Steele Photography LLC

Denton resident Connie Lane portrays Eleanor of Aquitaine in Denton Community Theatre’s The Lion in Winter,” opening on Friday.

Greg Phillips of Grapevine portrays King Henry II.

hen it comes to playing royalty in Denton Community Theatre’s The Lion in Winter, actors Connie Lane and Greg Phillips said the trick was to find the Everyman (and the Everywoman) in King Henry II and his estranged queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine.

“For me, I had to find the humor in it,” said Lane, who plays Eleanor. She said director Mildred A. Peveto taught her that a long time ago.

“You have to look for the humor in every character you play,” Lane said. “Because it’s there.”

Lion in Winter deftly plots out classic family dysfunction, using a historical template as a guide. Henry wants the Aquitaine, a crucial bit of land in southwestern France.

But the Aquitaine belongs to Eleanor, whom Henry has imprisoned for the last 10 years because she has a habit of raising rebellions against him — or supporting them.

Then there are their sons: John, the dimwitted and overconfident teenager; Geoffrey, the cunning, cool politician; and Richard, the ambitious, favored eldest son.

As is typical, things come to a head on Christmas Day — in 1183. Henry, now in the arms of 23-year-old Alis, brings Eleanor out of captivity to spend the holiday with her

Lion family. While most families aren’t embroiled in a geopolitical chess match, most audiences will find the tensions — marital and parental — familiar. And even as the king and his queen have passed the point of no return, a familiar and lusty spark snaps between them.

Lane said she’s studied whip-smart script for the jokes, wordplay and double entendres that pepper playwright James Goldman’s writing. She hasn’t been disappointed, she said.

“It’s in the lines but it’s in the subtext, too,” she said. “You could play this really dark, but why would I want to spend this much time with someone who was just dark?”

Goldman describes Eleanor in the playwright’s notes as a

woman who is both powerful and feminine.

“The way I’m interpreting it is that is that she’s regal,” Lane said. “She won’t take [expletive] from anyone, but she is someone who will let people do what they will, and she’ll play the game.”

Phillips, a Grapevine resident who is doing the play for the fourth time, said he plumbed the script to find a king who is sharpened by war, but tempered by peace.

“He’s been a king for a long time, and he says he’s discovered how good it is to write a law, or make a tax more fair, or to sit in judgment to decide which peasant gets a cow,” Phillips said.

Phillips studied drama with Peveto at Carrollton’s Newman Smith High School in 1980,

and said the director’s name lured him to the long haul to auditions. He and Lane hadn’t met before.

“We read together three or four times, and there was a connection,” Lane said. “You can tell at an audition if you can connect with someone.

Sometimes, you don’t even have to speak.”

Phillips said the characters have a chemistry that has outlived its usefulness, but keeps the ill-fated couple entangled.

“They live and love to hate each other,” he said.

Both actors agreed that Eleanor is smarter than her husband, “but I think your jabs dig deeper,” Lane said.

And like many a divorced couple, Phillips said, the pair duel through their children.

Henry hopes young John will follow him to the crown. Eleanor still wants the throne for Richard. Poor Geoffrey is left out, and bitter about it.

“John is the Ethan Couch of the day. I’ve spoiled him — he gets everything he wants. He’s rude and obnoxious, but I’m going to make him king,” Phillips said.

“Richard’s my favorite.

That’s who I want to be king,” Lane said. “Why wouldn’t I want Geoffrey to be king?

Because I can’t trust him.”

With a script full of lots of delicious marital discord, Phillips and Lane said they have to take care. They can’t make the king and queen so high that they can’t be understood, or so mighty that any frailty is beyond audience belief.

“For me, it all goes back to

the likability factor,” Lane said.

“I’m not actually a fan of the [Katharine] Hepburn [film] version of the play. I like the Glenn Close version much better, probably because I like that style of acting. But I like how Glenn Close played it.

There is so much humanity in her performance. It’s very believable.”

Phillips said he has to trust himself and the audience.

“I don’t know that any actor can get 100 percent there in rehearsal,” he said. “You need all the little things — the costumes, the lights. It’s about kind of hypnotizing yourself not to act, but to become this other person.”

Bay-hem in January

Action director’s latest work heavy on boom, light on story

By Preston Barta Film Critic

There are few great modern war stories captured on film compared to the cinematic tales from Vietnam, World War II and the American Civil War. Historical conflicts are far easier to frame and less fraught with political pitfalls than the wars that made headlines yesterday.

This may be why the modern war genre is slim compared to historical dramas.

Nonetheless, the most recent conflicts in the Middle East have resulted in a new wave of war movies that depict the harrowing realities of these engagements. Some films, such as Lone Survivor, may focus more on the action than the politics, but almost all have a message of some variety about war. The same can be said of Michael Bay’s new film, 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.

Starring John Krasinski (The Office) and James Badge Dale (The Departed), the film held its world premiere at the Dallas Cowboys’ home turf on Tuesday night in Arlington. Attendees had the rare opportunity to watch the film on AT&T Stadium’s massive video screens, as well as see the stars, filmmakers and real-life Benghazi heroes speak about bringing the courageous story to the big screen.

Just saying “Benghazi” strongly hints toward a political agenda, but 13 Hours does its audience a service by avoiding the expected trappings. Instead, it homes in on the true story of the soldiers who took action during the 2012 attacks on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

As any film from the fire-

OPENING FRIDAY Brooklyn Impeccably directed by

the film falls short is its human drama and characters. Without real characters, interpersonal conflict or even the slightest hint of personality, the effect is no different than watching a buddy play Call of Duty.

Bay has a long and illustrious career of getting crushed by critics. His body of work includes a death train of polished turds — such as the four live-action Transformers films and Pain & Gain.

Whether he’s directing or producing, if Bay is involved, critics come ready with a red

pen in hand. Common criticisms persist in 13 Hours: Bay lurches from one slow-motion fireworks display to the next, glorifying battle with his classic, ham-fisted lack of nuance. Between the CGI storyboards, however, is a surprisingly realistic film — for a Michael Bay production.

This movie will have its fans: action junkies, stalwart patriots and folks who just need to kill two hours by watching 13. Some will appreciate the impressive treatment the film has been given, while others might roll their

eyes at every corny line of dialogue.

The film is a visceral action flick that is well-photographed and undeniably reverent of the real-life heroes who risked and lost their lives on that fateful day, but we are ultimately let down with a cliched script and overly Hollywood production that ignores the harrowing complexities of modern war.

Read his work on FreshFiction. tv.

John Crowley, feelingly adapted by Nick Hornby from Colm Toibin’s fine novel and blessed with heart-stopping work from star Saoirse Ronan and the rest of the cast, Brooklyn is about love and heartache, loneliness and intimacy, what home means and how we achieve it.

MOVIES Continued from Page 11

NOW PLAYING Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip The high-pitched trio set off for New York City to stop Dave, who they believe is going to propose to his girlfriend and leave them behind. With Jason Lee, Tony Hale, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, Justin Long, Matthew Gray Gubler, Jesse McCartney, Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting, Anna Faris and Christina Applegate.

Rated PG, 86 minutes. — LAT The Big Short (★★★★) Comedy director Adam McKay (Anchorman) takes Michael Lewis’ best-selling nonfiction book and turns it into a fast-paced, funny, informative, originally conceived delight. McKay dissects the 2007-08 financial meltdown, using rapid dialogue, hilarious interludes (Margot Robbie explaining diffuse terms while taking a bubble bath), improbable situations, and a cast of outrageous and colorful Dickensian characters, all filled by a star cast: Steve Carrell, Brad Pitt, Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale and others. Rated R, 130 minutes. — Boo Allen Concussion (★★★) When it comes to criticizing the NFL, director Peter Landesman (Kill the Messenger) pulls no punches. Through neuropathologist Dr. Bennet Omalu (played

by Will Smith), Concussion explores the repercussions of going head-tohead in football. “God did not intend for us to play football,” says Omalu.

While Smith turns in one of his best performances and the story occasionally dances in the endzone, Landesman fumbles from an overthe-head, cliched script that detracts from Concussion’s ultimate implications. Rated PG-13, 123 minutes. — Preston Barta Daddy’s Home (★★) After the success of The Other Guys, Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg team back up for some more outlandish debauchery by playing fathers from opposite ends of the spectrum. One dad, Brad (Ferrell), has everything going for him: He’s a radio exec with a loving wife (Linda Cardellini) and two stepchildren (Scarlett Estevez and Owen Vaccaro) to whom he’s

committed to loving. Then in waltzes Dusty (Wahlberg), the children’s biological father who pulls off the bad boy, cool dad routine. While there are a few well-executed gags, Daddy’s Home doesn’t offer much to impress.

Rated PG-13, 96 minutes. — P.B. The Forest Despite dire warnings, a young American enters Japan’s Aokigahara Forest in search of her missing sister and encounters the malevolent souls of the dead. With Natalie Dormer, Taylor Kinney, Eoin Macken and Yukiyoshi Ozawa. Directed by Jason Zada. Rated PG-13, 93 minutes. — LAT Hateful Eight (★★★1⁄2) Quentin Tarantino always swings for the fences, and even when he doesn’t hit it out of the park, he always puts the ball in play. This is the case with The Hateful Eight. This Western whodunit tale takes Tarantino back to his roots of minimal yet effective filmmaking.

Set during a Wyoming blizzard at a frontier way station, a group of bounty hunters, ex-soldiers and mysteriosos shack up for a cold night of deception and betrayal. Bullets are fired, coffee is poisoned and blood is spilled — who will be the last one standing? Rated R, 168 minutes. — P.B. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2 (★★★1⁄2) If you favored the gladiatorial action of the first two Hunger Games and disliked Mockingjay — Part 1 for its lack thereof, odds are you might not appreciate Part 2’s politically charged human drama and grim tone. Yet the bleak and somber conclusion closes the book on a fitting sendoff. The last time we saw Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss Everdeen, she had just woken up to a sad reality that she and Panem’s District 13 hardly stand a chance against the domineering President Snow (Donald Sutherland) and ruling Capitol. As the war between Panem and the Capitol escalates, Katniss must team up with her closest friends, including Peeta (Josh Hutcherson), Gale (Liam Hemsworth) and Finnick (Sam Claflin), for the ultimate mission. Rated PG-13, 137 minutes. — P.B. The Revenant (★★★★★) Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s follow-up to last year’s best picture Oscar winner, Birdman, is as beautiful as it is brutal.

Set in 1823 Montana and South Dakota, The Revenant opens with

images from a dream. We see fractured memories showing the peaceful life of Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio), a frontiersman working with a quasi-military hunting party of trappers. Then a rifle comes into frame, plunging the narrative into a world of devastation and blood.

DiCaprio is a sure shot to win best actor come this year’s Academy Awards. As fellow fur trapper John Fitzgerald, Tom Hardy (Mad Max: Fury Road) is equally as powerful.

While disguised as a tale of revenge, the heart of The Revenant is a tale of survival. — P.B. Sisters (★★★) Tiny Fey and Amy Poehler reunite on screen to portray middle-aged siblings who are forced to confront the realities of adulthood.

Sisters, directed by Jason Moore (Pitch Perfect), starts off disjointed, but once it collects its footing it’s a mile-a-minute laugh storm that hits your funny bone where it hurts. Fey and Poehler’s timing, the offbeat dialogue and gags make this film the perfect couple and sibling hangout alternative to Star Wars. Rated R, 118 minutes. — P.B. Star Wars: The Force Awakens (★★★★) For more than 40 years, parents and children have flocked to theaters to share the Star Wars experience and watch with delight.

Thankfully, J.J. Abrams (Star Trek, Super 8) revives that love and creates a Star Wars film to be excited about again. The seventh installment in the franchise, The Force Awakens, is set 30 years following the events in Return of the Jedi. The Empire has returned in the form of the First Order, and it’s up to the Resistance and its allies to restore balance to the galaxy. Abrams strikes a careful balance, tipping his hat to Star Wars creator George Lucas while also never overstepping his bounds. On top of the glorious action and practical effects, the performances brought by its stellar cast are top-notch. As a dauntless scavenger named Rey, Daisy Ridley portrays a strapping and tough character worthy of our admiration. John Boyega (Attack the Block) also gives a breakthrough performance as Finn, a Stormtrooper whose conscience causes him to switch teams. With Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Oscar Isaac, Adam Driver and Andy Serkis.
