Chauffeur Hoke Colburn (Dunashay Thomas) eventually finds a connection with his employer, Daisy Wertham (Lee Skinner), in “Driving Miss Daisy.” Denton Community Theatre’s production of the play by Alfred Uhrys opens Feb. 5.

Driving down barriers ‘Miss Daisy’ tells story of unlikely friendship ee Skinner said Denton Community Theatre’s Driving Miss Daisy is a story about opposites.

“It is about opposites, and overcoming them,” said Skinner, who plays a wealthy gentlewoman, Daisy Wertham.

“Man and woman, Jewish and Christian and black and white.”

The Alfred Uhry play finds Daisy stubbornly resisting her son’s decision to hire a driver. It’s the 1950s in Atlanta, Georgia, and the shadow of Jim Crow casts a long shadow. Hoke Colburn gets the job, and both he and Daisy grapple with the strict social conventions dictated by race and class.

“When the show opens, she’s 72 and has smashed her car up,” Skinner said.

“For elderly people, having their driver’s license taken away can be just devastating. She doesn’t want this man driving her. She doesn’t want to have to rely on anyone.”

Daisy and Hoke slowly but surely connect — car rides prove to be suit-

L

able places for sharing stories, fears and hopes. As the years and miles pass, the unlikely pair finds common ground and friendship.

“Really, Hoke is a man of principle, and I relate to that,” said Dunashay Thomas, who plays the role of Hoke.

“He has a job to do and he’s going to do it. He’s respectful of Daisy, even though she doesn’t want anything to do with him in the beginning.”

Director John Rodgers has directed the play before, with Skinner in the title role, at Butterfield Stage Players in Gainesville. Rodgers has played the role of Daisy’s son, Boolie. When he directed Dividing the Estate last season, Rodgers said he thought Estate cast members Caleb Norris and Thomas could play their roles in Driving Miss Daisy.

“To be honest, it was John’s persistence,” Thomas said when asked why he took the role. “He said if I was still in Denton, I should do the show.”

A longtime fan of the film and play, Rodgers said the intimate show has an emotional payoff.

“They become friends,” Rodgers

said. “They spend 20 years together, and the characters have a lot to teach each other.”

Norris, who plays Boolie, said his character, too, is transformed by the unlikely bond between employee and employer. He trusts Hoke with his mother’s well-being, and Boolie wants Hoke to get the respect — and the salary — he’s earned.

“I think Boolie is the catalyst that gets Daisy to change,” Norris said. “But Hoke and Boolie are friends in the end, even after Daisy moves to the nursing home and he isn’t driving her anymore.

In the beginning, they bump heads because Daisy is sure Hoke has stolen a can of salmon. But by the end, Boolie asks Hoke, ‘Is there anything here in this house you’d like to have?’ It’s a big change.”

The play opens Feb. 5 at the PointBank Black Box Theatre, 318 E. Hickory St. Performances will be at 7:30 p.m.

Feb. 5-6 and Feb. 12-13 and 2 p.m. Feb. 7 and 14. Tickets cost $15. For tickets, call 940-382-1915 or visit www.denton communitytheatre.com.

nother new sign, shown Wednesday at the former Jim McNatt Toyota Dodge site on the corner of Bonnie Brae Street and University Drive, indicates a new shopping center anchored by an unnamed business is coming soon to Denton. Earlier this month, the sign indicated that the San Antonio-based grocer H-E-B would develop the anchor store. H-E-B denied the report. The revised sign would seem to confirm that Denton won’t get an H-E-B. ■ Romance is in the air. Here’s a Valentine gift that perfectly fits Denton’s offbeat style and sense of humor: the Tuba Valentine.

Four musicians — two tubas and two euphoniums — show up at the appointed location, play two songs of your choice, and present give your intended with a chocolate rose and a personalized greeting card. The service costs $30 to $40, depending on the location in and around Denton.

Proceeds go to the UNT chapter of the International Tuba and Euphonium Association. Who even knew there was such a thing? Contact unttubavalentines@gmail.com for an appointment.

■ Is there some rule that shoppers at the Kroger on University Drive aren’t allowed to ever take their shopping carts to the cart return rack? It seems like maybe there is.

■ We wonder how much money city of Denton has taken in since the implementation of back-in parking on East Hickory Street last March? Every day, we see meter maids and meter misters out writing $25 parking tickets for motorists who ignore the signs or simply don’t see them. We wonder how nearby merchants — Noles General Store, Campus Barber Shop and Mellow Mushroom come to mind — are viewing the situation. Are customers who get ticketed likely to return to eat or shop?

The LPC Retail sign that advertised a shopping center anchored by H-E-B recently changed. The new signage at University Drive and Bonnie Brae Street no longer mentions H-E-B. The San Antonio-based grocer said earlier this month it had no plans to develop a store in Denton. inaugural Junior Olympics Roller Derby Tournament. The tournament is the work of the Junior Roller Derby Association and Amateur Athletic Union. The tournament will be in July in Lincoln, Nebraska, and it’ll be held in conjunction with the 2016 Junior Roller Derby Association Championships. Eight teams will compete for the win.

■ Someone wants Denton real estate broker Scott Campbell to run for mayor. A Facebook page titled “Encourage Scott Campbell to Run for Mayor” appeared on Tuesday. So far, the encouragement is pretty light — only six people had liked the page by Wednesday. It’s early yet. Campbell, who coined the term “Dentoning,” could gather support fast — he’s served on more event steering and planning committees than we can count, and he is a major cheerleader for the city’s culture and business landscape.

■ Word is a new low-power FM radio station is coming to Denton later this year. Keep an ear out for KUZU-FM on 92.9. It’s registered to the Denton Holiday Festival Association.

Ferguson touched off demonstran solidarity across the country, inDallas-Fort Worth area. The proted a push for police reform and a ow policing affects poor and preminority communities.

“The more I watched and the more I read, I had these narratives in my head,” Usher said. “I kept asking myself: What is it about this small, previously unknown township that made for this kind of powderkeg? There had been similar incidents in other communities, but there wasn’t this kind of explosion. Eric Garner’s death was a few months before this, but the joke that I heard here in New York was ‘We don’t burn our [expletive deleted] in New York.’”

Films about Ferguson find hope in scorched earth

In Ferguson Documented, Usher uses interviews with people in Ferguson and St. Louis — as well interviews with people who traveled to Ferguson to support the community and just “to see for themselves what was happening.”

Chicago filmmaker Lonnie Edwards said he didn’t go to Ferguson intending to make a film about the protests and the steep racial divide that created tension for residents there.

In this scene from “A Ferguson Story,” protesters chant “Hands up, don’t shoot” during a demonstration in Ferguson, Missouri.

From Page 9

Ferguson “I went there and met a few people,” said Edwards, a visual artist who taught himself to use a video camera just a few years ago.

“I started listening to their experiences and their stories,” he said. “I met amateur videographers and photographers, and I spoke with them about using their stuff. It wasn’t really until I got back to Chicago that I realized what I had. The material they gave me showed people coming together. To have a film from all these different people, I thought that would be a way of telling the story that you don’t get from media.”

In A Ferguson Story, Edwards plays curator, selecting the most evocative images from thousands of photos and 800 hours of footage from Ferguson protests and activities. Edwards then weaves in sound bites — bits of speeches by President Barack Obama, recordings of historic civil rights speeches and parts of the song “Strange Fruit” by singer Nina Simone.

Through image and sound, Edwards said he’s telling an old story about citizens confronting their government and demanding justice.

Both filmmakers said they found a shared distrust for media coverage about poverty, race and police aggression among the people they met.

“You know, the issue I had with the larger media was that it just seemed focused on the riots,” Usher said. “Maybe Al Ja-

zeera America was the company that came close to examining the underlying issues. The interplay between the officer and Mike Brown was a metaphor for the way the police and the community related — or didn’t.”

Usher has worked in media before. She said she was working as a journalist in New York when stockbroker Bernie Madoff was convicted of fraud for turning his wealth management firm into a Ponzi scheme.

“As someone who has been in that media scrum, there is this kind of love-hate thing I have for the media,” Usher said. “It can do so much good, but we do so many things that are easy, and it’s cheap and they rake you over the coals and are on to the next thing. At some point, the riots are going to die down. The tanks are going to roll away. People are going to go back the business at hand. What happens after that?

Who tells that story?”

Edwards voiced similar frustrations with the way 24-hour media covers communities in crisis.

“The biggest thing that I wanted to do with this film was to have something that is out in the world that is not skewed,” he said. “There are people from both sides that are showing things from certain perspective.

After the conflict died down in Ferguson, there were a couple of hundred cops who wanted to change things, but I feel like the media had its own portrayal and its own agenda.”

Usher credits residents of Ferguson and St. Louis for being open to filmmakers and reporters, sharing stories and even playing tour guide for vis-

“One of my mentors, William Serrin, covered the ’68 riots in Detroit. He told me, ‘Usher, go where the news is.’ So that’s what I do. Once I’m there, I’m like a wet sponge,” she said. “The people of St. Louis were so nice and I wondered how something like this happens here.”

Usher said Ferguson seemed normal — yes, the City Council and the police department were predominantly white at the time of the shooting (today, three of the six council members are black). But that didn’t distinguish Ferguson from a lot of American cities.

“Everyone was so nice, and so many people were willing to talk to me,” Usher recalled. “I’m not seeing the Ku Klux Klan ready to lynch me. So how did this happen? How did this boy’s body lie in the street for four hours? I think it’s a question a

Both films have done well on the film festival circuit. Usher’s Ferguson Documented has been accepted to 11 festivals. Edwards has seen A Ferguson Story accepted into eight festivals, and winning accolades at six.

Neither filmmaker has had a uniform response to their film.

“As I was finishing it and was giving it out to friends and family, I heard back from people about it. Family and friends who are in law enforcement, they tend to be a little defensive,” Usher said. “One of my friends interpreted the film as ... sympathetic to Michael Brown. ...

Edwards said the film gives him hope. He’s seeing young Chicago residents engage with their government and their communities.

“If you think about it, what happened in Ferguson brought people together who might not have come together otherwise,” he said. “This Ferguson thing happened — and all of these other things have been going on with police aggression that ended fatally — and it’s making people ask, does the country actually care about its people? During my time on Earth I’ve never seen anything like this. I think the more this happens, the more the nation is pushed into having to do something.”

Imperfect storm

Rescue tale flounders, but visuals and performances keep it afloat

By Preston Barta Film Critic

Rescue missions seem to be all the rage these days. Gather a bunch of strapping lads, place them in peril on the high seas — whales, storms, whatever — and run them around on deck with enormous waves crashing in from every direction.

Boom! You’ve got yourself a movie.

This leads us to our latest rescue tale, The Finest Hours, a mildly thrilling film that details the 1952 search and rescue of an oil tanker caught in one of the worst storms ever to hit the East Coast.

Based on the book by the same name, The Finest Hours separates its action into two converging story lines. The first sees a stricken vessel captained by Ray Sybert (Casey Affleck) with 30 souls aboard, all fighting for their lives in the ruthless storm.

The other pits the Coast Guard crew of Bernie Webber (Chris Pine) in harm’s way as they seek to bring Sybert’s crew to safety.

Mix in a love story courtesy of Pine and Holliday Grainger (Cinderella), and the keel has been laid for a dramatic, feelgood movie. Unfortunately, The Finest Hours is about as vanilla as these stories come.

Films based on true stories are always scrutinized for the reality-warping effects of dramatic license, and Disney’s latest fare seems to ship the expected fluff.

Studios invariably love stories of bravery and valor set against the backdrop of a natural disaster. A formulaic, family-friendly Hallmark card packaged inside a conflict-driven narrative? That’s one of the safest bets they can make.

Disney

Ray Sybert (Casey Affleck) is the assistant engineer on the SS Pendleton in “The Finest Hours,” an action-thriller based on the true story of the most daring rescue in the history of the Coast Guard.

Director Craig Gillespie does have a few winning films under his belt: Lars and the Real Girl, Fright Night (the 2011 remake) and Million Dollar Arm. Lars was a thought-provoking piece of subtlety and genuineness that captured viewers’ hearts. His later films were similarly well executed, but they were wrapped in an artificial veneer lacking in his original imagination — perhaps the influence of Gillespie’s newfound access to big studio bud-

gets and fancy equipment. As of late, he has plotted disappointingly safe courses across the board, rarely venturing into more intriguing waters.

Snug mediocrity plagues The Finest Hours with the exception of one important detail: the casting of Affleck. Affleck (Gone Baby Gone), younger brother of Ben, far outperforms everyone else in the film, taking you outside of Disney’s gilded gates and giving his role something real on

a near-award-worthy level.

Bringing a certain tranquility to his role as Sybert, Affleck is compelling and the biggest reason

MOVIES Continued from Page 11 humor to make this an all-around extremely satisfying third installment in the popular series. Jack Black is back, and in fine shape, as the voice of Po, our rotund panda hero and reluctant Dragon Warrior. The film begins in the spirit realm, where Oogway, the ancient kung fu master (and tortoise), is attacked by the villainous bull Kai, a former friend.

Kai’s goal is to bring his supernatural army to the mortal world and defeat Po, his anointed opponent. If that weren’t enough drama, Po’s biological father, Li, has turned up, causing consternation for Po’s adoptive father, Mr. Ping. Po journeys with Li to the secret mountain enclave where pandas live to master his own chi, which he’ll need to defeat Kai. Rated PG, 95 minutes. — The Associated Press

DreamWorks Animation

Po (voiced by Jack Black) meets up with his long-lost panda father, Li (Bryan Cranston) in “Kung Fu Panda 3.”

NOW PLAYING The Boy In an English village, a young American woman is hired to care for an 8-year-old who appears to be a life-sized doll. With Lauren Cohan, Rupert Evans and Jim Norton.

Written by Stacey Menear. Directed

by William Brent Bell. Rated PG-13, 98 minutes. — LAT 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. — Preston Barta Dirty Grandpa (★★) Borderline comedy at best and cringe-worthy at worst. A recent widower (Robert De Niro) convinces his strait-laced lawyer grandson (Zac Efron) to accompany him on a road trip to Florida. From there, the story is shamelessly abused as an excuse for the two actors to commit all sorts of debauchery, including but not limited to drinking, drugging and partying themselves stupid. With Adam Pally and Aubrey Plaza. Directed by Dan Mazer, who writes for Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat) and has helmed episodes of Da Ali G Show. Rated R, 102 minutes. — P.B. The 5th Wave Four deadly surges have left the world ravaged and a teen must trust a mysterious young man to save her brother. With Chloe Grace Moretz and Nick Robinson.

Written by Susannah Grant, Akiva Goldsman and Jeff Pinkner. Directed

by J Blakeson. Rated PG-13, 112 minutes. — LAT The Good Dinosaur (★★★★) Pixar crafts a wonderful world where dinos can keep humans as pets, managing to shock, surprise and pack an emo-

tional wallop in its cannon. The film features an unlikely pairing of an apatosaurus named Arlo (voiced by Raymond Ochoa) and a human toddler, Spot (Jack Bright), as they navigate a world filled with all kinds of risks and dangers. Peter Sohn, who directed the “Partly Cloudy” short that ran in front of 2009’s Up, conjures up a visually dazzling animated feature. The Good Dinosaur’s pleasures are on smaller scale compared to the likes of Monsters, Inc. or even this year’s Inside Out, but the film’s heart is still monstrous and beats with purpose. It’s an old-school buddy adventure that would do Littlefoot proud. Rated PG, 100 minutes. — P.B. The 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 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. Ride Along 2 Kevin Hart and Ice Cube reunite for this sequel to the 2014 comedy. With Ken Jeong, Benjamin Bratt, Olivia Munn, Bruce McGill, Tika Sumpter. Written by Phil Hay & Matt Manfredi. Directed by Tim Story.

Rated PG-13, 101 minutes. — LAT Spectre (★★1⁄2) In 2012, Sam Mendes gave us the riveting Skyfall: a bleak, morally uneasy James Bond film. Although often absorbing and on par with the spectacle we’ve come to expect from our well-dressed hero, Spectre proves its predecessor a tough act to follow. The film going

from one random, stunning location to the next while Bond (Daniel Craig) follows the breadcrumbs of a sinister organization. Villain Franz Oberhauser (Christoph Waltz) is a mysterious man with a mysterious personal connection to 007. But Spectre doesn’t know whether to let Waltz enjoy himself or keep him reduced by understatement. Rated PG-13, 148 minutes. — P.B. Spotlight The saga of how the Boston Globe won the Pulitzer Prize in 2003 for uncovering sexual abuse

by Catholic priests, the film is mightily impressive not only because of the importance of the story it tells but also because of how much effort and skill went into bringing it to the screen in the best possible way.

Rated R, 128 minutes. — LAT Star Wars: The Force Awakens (★★★★) J.J. Abrams strikes a careful balance, tipping his hat to Star Wars creator George Lucas while also never overstepping his bounds. 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. Rated PG-13, 135 minutes. — P.B. 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (★★1⁄2) Starring John Krasinski (The Office) and James Badge Dale (The Departed), Michael Bay’s new film homes in on the true story of the soldiers who took action during the 2012 attacks on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya. It’s a visceral action flick that is wellphotographed and undeniably reverent of the real-life heroes who risked and lost their lives, but we are ultimately let down by a cliched script and overly Hollywood production that ignores the complexities of modern war. Rated R, 144 minutes. — P.B.
