Ugandan children’s choir to visit North Texas

n African children’s choir will make stops soon in Corinth and Denton on a tour through the United States.

The Watoto Children’s Choir began its six-month tour in December. The choir brings its latest concert, “Beautiful Africa: A New Generation,” to the Church of Corinth at 7 p.m. Jan. 23. The

church is located at 3201 Tower Ridge Drive in Corinth. The choir gives another performance at 5 p.m. Jan. 25 at Southmont Baptist Church, 2801 Teasley Lane. The concerts are free.

The members of the choir act as ambassadors to raise awareness about the plight of orphaned and vulnerable children

of Africa. Each child in the choir has suffered the loss of one or both parents. They live in the Watoto children’s villages in Uganda, where they receive the care and nurturing they need to grow up as productive citizens.

Each concert presents original music, dance and stories.

The music is an energetic fusion

of contemporary gospel and traditional African rhythm. Since its inception, 64 choirs have traveled globally. The choirs have been to Australia, Brazil, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Germany, France and elsewhere.

Lots of glitter and impossibly high heels are part of the third-anniversary party for Denton’s Whiskey Tongue Burlesque on Saturday.

Three years of teasing Local burlesque company marks anniversary hiskey Tongue Burlesque has been teasing local audiences for three years now.

Wheels of passion ilmmaker Monica De Alwis had plenty to shoot when it came to profiling the first roller derby league in New Zealand.

And yet her focus in her Denton-bound documentary, Pretty Brutal, tightened to three skaters: Pieces of Hate, Kid Vile and Naki Kronik. Why? Because the three athletes had to train together for their debut competition season. Then, the skaters had to go for each other’s jugular

F

in the rink.

In getting to know these three women — all of whom risk significant injury in the rink, thanks to the full-contact nature of roller derby — De Alwis found that each skater came to the game for different reasons, even if all three yearned for sisterhood and connection.

The film screens at 10 p.m.

Feb. 14 at the Fine Arts Theatre on the Square.

New Zealand roller derby doc headed to Thin Line

THIN LINE What: A five-day documentary film and music festival When: Feb. 12-16 Where: Films will screen at the Campus Theatre and the Fine Arts Theatre on the downtown Square. Live music will be at Dan’s Silverleaf, Hailey’s Club, Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios, Sweetwater Grill & Tavern and the Thin Line Tent, which will be located on a lot across the street from the Oak Street Drafthouse & Cocktail Parlor.

How much: $150 for an all-access festival pass; $75 for a film pass, which grants access to any film screening; $75 for a music pass, which grants access to any venue for Thin Line music; and $15 for tickets to see Sebadoh in the Thin Line Tent. For reservations, visit http://bit.ly/14khzw3.

Saturday night at Hailey’s is a gig full of metal Hailey’s Club will push the furniture to the walls for a fullon metal set on Saturday.

Dallas-based Pink Box Entertainment has put together of night of head-thrashing music, all from Dallas.

Wes Ford and the Foundry considers itself a psychedelic hard rock band, but Ford burns up enough notes on guitar to hold his own with proud metal heads. Unloading lots of noise in scathing seethers such as “Insist to Lie,” Ford blisters the fretboard with the heat of a thousand burned boyfriends.

“Dying Bad” starts out with an ominous, tolling church bell and leads into slow, grinding licks. All sorts of fearsome tools are listed: rusty saws, shovels and good old masculine indignation. Our narrator is worse for the wear, but he’s

Wes Ford and the Foundry makes a trip to Denton on Saturday for Pink Box Entertainment’s “Metal Bash” at Hailey’s Club. got fight left in him yet. The song builds a la Alice in Chains after the second verse.

After some solo fireworks, we’re back to the beginning, with the narrator digging a hole. Whether it’s for him or his adversary isn’t spelled out.

What you see is what you get with Ford and the Foundry — lots of grinding guitar and rasping vocals. This is the stuff of biker-gang roadhouses.

OPENING FRIDAY Devil’s Due After a mysterious lost night on their honeymoon, a newlywed couple (Allison Miller and Zach Gilford) find themselves dealing with an earlier-than-planned pregnancy that begins to betray sinister origins.

— Los Angeles Times Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (★★1⁄2) In this Jack Ryan reboot, Chris Pine takes over as Tom Clancy’s CIA analyst. Shadow Recruit, which was scripted without a Clancy book, tells a new backstory for Ryan. Inspired by Sept. 11, he joins the Marines and is heroically injured in Afghanistan.

During his recovery, he meets his eventual fiancee (Keira Knightley) and is lured to the CIA by a mysterious recruiter (Kevin Costner). He’s covertly embedded at a Wall Street bank where he uncovers a Russian plot to buy up U.S. Treasury bonds.

Director-actor Kenneth Branagh endows his film with (mostly) oldfashioned competency but little to distinguish it from superior thrillers that have come before. Rated PG-13, 105 minutes. — The Associated Press Ride Along (★★) A little Kevin Hart goes a long way in Ride Along, a dull buddy picture engineered as a vehicle for the mini-motor mouth Hart and the perma-sneering Ice Cube. Cube is cranky cop James, whose pursuit of a mysterious villain named Omar is interrupted by his sister’s fiance. That would be Ben (Hart), a video gameaddicted school security guard who longs to bring his wise-cracking, voice-cracking banter to the Atlanta P.D. James drags Ben on a ride-along just to convince the dude he isn’t cut out for police work and that he isn’t good enough for James’ supermodel sister Angela (Tika Sumpter). Rated PG-13, 100 minutes. — McClatchyTribune News Service The Nut Job (★★1⁄2) In Peter Lepeniotis’ animated film, the animals in Liberty Park, ruled by a gruff raccoon (voiced by Liam Neeson) are facing a severe nut shortage, and Surly the squirrel (Will Arnett), who thinks only of himself, has somehow set fire to the winter stockpile. Banished from the park, Surly discovers a nut shop — cashews, peanuts, hazelnuts, you name it. If he can snag that booty, he’ll be golden for the winter — but a group of humans plotting a bank heist have their own connections to the nut stash. Decent but forgettable entry to the animal-centered animated film

Felicity Jones plays Nelly Ternan, the much younger mistress of Charles Dickens (Ralph Fiennes) at the height of the writer’s fame, in “The Invisible Woman.” Fiennes also directed the film, which opens Friday in Dallas.

A polite affair

The Invisible Woman

‘Invisible Woman’ keeps passions laced up tight

Rated R, 111 minutes.

Opens Friday at the Angelika Dallas.

By Boo Allen Film Critic booa@att.net

Genius has its own mixed rewards. Charles Dickens knew this, as shown in the rich new mini-biopic The Invisible Woman.

Brilliance can often suffocate not only the bearer but also those who rub against it. As portrayed by director Ralph Fiennes from Abi Morgan’s script (based on Claire Tomalin’s book), Dickens struggled with the exigencies of fame while continuing his prolific literary output. Visually, showing the actual creation of his magnificent work proves easy — but capturing the inspiration behind it all proves impossible.

Dickens (Fiennes) finds early inspiration from his wife, Cath-

erine (Joanna Scanlan), who also bore him 10 children. In middle age, Dickens begins to wander before finding romantic refuge in 18-year-old Ellen “Nelly” Ternan (a persuasive and effective Felicity Jones), the liaison that serves as the movie’s core.

When first seen, Dickens joins best friend and co-conspirator Wilkie Collins (Tom Hollander) to rehearse their latest stage play, an endeavor in which Dickens could exercise his unbound energy and enthusiasm.

Mrs. Frances Ternan (Kristin Scott Thomas) brings her three daughters to participate, including Nelly, and Dickens immediately becomes smitten.

From this first exposure, Dickens draws closer to Nelly and she to him, all captured with

restraint by director Fiennes. Instead of American-styled physical exuberance, the growing romance unfolds with lingering hands on shoulders, small smiles and furtive glances. The eventual “love” scenes are done so tastefully as to be almost nonexistent.

But this coyness coincides with the actual story and with Dickens’ stature at the time as England’s first great celebrity, hounded whenever he appeared in public. Dickens so knew how to hide in the shadows as well as in plain sight, as Fiennes deftly portrays, that not even his biographers have been able to fully describe the extent of his relationship with Nelly.

The writer’s cruel streak can be seen in a heartbreaking scene

in which Dickens actually walls off his forlorn wife in their home.

Later, she learns about his reported philandering and his abandonment of her only by reading a letter he has written to a newspaper.

Fiennes keeps his cameras tight, and his budget low, staying mostly on the principals and avoiding too many crowd scenes. As a result, the near-colorless film traffics in shadows and darkness, often with ambient lighting, which probably captures what everyday life was like in the late 19th century.

But while the atmospherics may be created on film, rendering the tortured processes of genius remains impossible.

Way to grow Group inches closer to goal of science museum to feed young minds

By Lucinda Breeding Features Editor cbreeding@dentonrc.com

nyah Martinez figures she needs about $10,000 and about 5,000 square feet of space.

Both would mean that the Denton Explorium could open its doors and bring Denton children face-to-face with science — playfully, if everything falls into place.

“When I drive around Denton, if I see a vacant space about that size, I try to find out who owns it and if they’d consider renting it,” said Martinez, a local mom behind the creation of the Denton Explorium. “I think the space might be a bigger challenge than the money, really.”

Late last year, Martinez and board members of the Explorium launched a crowdsourcing fundraiser for their dream. Martinez and board member Tara Mills said the city’s busy creative community is but one indication that there’s room for an organization — and a space — for children to learn

A

about science, math and technology in Denton.

“I come from a science background,” Mills said. “I’m a science teacher. When I was a kid, my favorite place to go was the science museum. We had three days of ice [in December], and we were looking around for things to do. And we were at a loss.”

Mills is a member of a city advisory committee, and said the group is charged in part with dreaming about Denton’s future, and helping sitting leaders plan for the future while staying plugged in to local families, their tastes and their needs.

“We talk about what makes Denton Denton,” Mills said. “We ask ourselves a lot of questions. How do we retain graduates from the colleges here? We owe it to our future generations to be more family-focused in Denton. I mean, we’re on the right track, but we need to create a city that can keep families here.”

Mills and Martinez spoke highly of the

Elm Fork Education Center at the University of North Texas.

“Elm Fork does a lot,” Martinez said.

“What they do, they do very well. But they mostly coordinate field trips. They do some things on campus, too. I look at the Explorium as a major supplement to what they do, with a space that has regular, open hours and activities.”

Mills and Martinez also praised the Denton Public Library system, which offers science programming along with its literacy programs.

Martinez said between the city parks programs and programs of the Greater Denton Arts Council, Denton has a lot of engaging activities for a city its size. Unfortunately, Dallas and Fort Worth have bigger municipal and philanthropic coffers to create community spaces such as the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History and the newcomer, the Perot Museum of Nature and Science See SCIENCE on 9

EXPLORIUM, MOBILE EDITION The Denton Explorium applied for 501(c)3 status last February. Once granted by the state, the status will allow it to operate as a nonprofit entity exempt from taxes.

Last year, the Denton Explorium partnered with the Denton Community Market. Volunteers hosted exhibits during the Saturday markets. The exhibits included: ■ April — sensory tables ■ May — nature walk and seed planting ■ June — making homemade paper, modeling dough and bubbles ■ July — technology petting zoo with the Denton Public Library ■ August — puzzles ■ September — Lego and other construction activities ■ November — instrument petting zoo

Rated R, 126 minutes. — B.A. The Legend of Hercules Betrayed by his stepfather, the mythical Greek hero Hercules (Kellan Lutz) is sold into slavery because of a forbidden love and must fight for his life and his kingdom. Rated PG-13, 87 minutes. — LAT Lone Survivor (★★1⁄2) Mark Wahlberg stars in this true story of four Navy SEALS in Afghanistan in 2005 on a mission to find and eliminate a Taliban leader. When the squad is reduced to one (hence the title), he finds refuge in an unlikely place. The standard action flick accentuates the bravery of the squad, but co-writer and director Peter Berg never raises his film beyond routine adventure material. With Eric Bana, Emile Hirsch, Ben Foster and Taylor Kitsch. Rated R, 121 minutes. — B.A. The Wolf of Wall Street (★★1⁄2) Leonardo DiCaprio stars in this inconsistently high-energy film from Martin Scorsese that skewers Wall Street and those who bend the rules to work there. A blazing first half filled with excess slows to a second-half grind. Fine cast includes Matthew McConaughey, Margot Robbie, Shea Whigham, Jonah Hill and Jon Bernthal.

Rated R, 180 minutes. — B.A.

“The Children’s Art Tent at the Denton Arts & Jazz Festival is a good example of how children will enthusiastically try to create things,” Martinez said.

“Yes, it’s the art tent, but there’s an awful lot of science in it, too.

It’s really awesome. My kids love the tent. They love getting their hands on something and making something.”

When considering the millions required to build learning centers on college campuses and in urban centers, Martinez said the Explorium seems all the more possible. The fundraising goal of $10,000 would cover rent for an existing space with 4,000 to 5,000 square feet for displays and demonstrations.

“We’re not talking about starting some megalopolis, or building some huge thing,” she said. “We want a cool old building for a year.”

Martinez said the Explorium has already attracted some people who want to build exhibits.

She also learned that a science museum in another city was relocating, and had some exhibits it could donate to the Denton group. By the end of November, some of the donated inventory was already in town.

“Children’s museums are notorious for helping each other

9 out,” Mills said. “They aren’t competitive at all.”

The Explorium board isn’t short on ideas, Martinez said.

The group would jump at the chance to create “a butterfly and bug garden,” for instance, she said. A garden expressly for children to work in is on the list of dreams, as are exhibits about grain production and local livestock. And like the Perot and Fort Worth science centers, a Denton Explorium would be interactive, using games and activities to help children learn about subjects like botany, architecture and physics.

“Children learn through play, absolutely,” Martinez said. “And children learn on different levels. If you do this well, you can have an exhibit that can teach different age groups.”

Once open, the Denton Explorium would be run by volunteers. The audience for the Explorium is children from preschool through middle school.

“Science museums are for all ages,” Mills said. “It’s fun even as an adult. You go to the children’s science museums, and you find the grown-ups participating, too.”

Martinez ageed.

“Adults are going to places like the Perot in droves,” she said.

“I bought a book about how to

start a science center, and it talks about how informal adult science programming and education can be done under the umbrella of a children’s museum.”

Since the Explorium’s GoFundMe.com campaign was launched, it has raised more than $300. Mills and Martinez said they aren’t discouraged in the least.

“To get something done, it

takes moms bouncing off the walls,” Mills said.

“Hey, I’ve got nothing but time,” Martinez said. “I’ve gotten a lot of ‘nos’ and a lot of nothing because a lot of people don’t call you back. But this is Denton. We can do this. Why not science?

I’m not giving up.”
