Holler Time hits Square with saloon rock might
ON THE COVER
T
wilight Tunes continues today with a concert by Denton indie/alt-country band the Holler Time at 6:30 p.m. on the lawn of the Courthouse on the Square, 110 W. Hickory St. (Note: Denton County’s National Day of Prayer observance this morning has been moved to an indoor location because the courthouse lawn was too muddy and soft for chairs. If the lawn is still too wet tonight, Twilight Tunes will move to Sweetwater Grill & Tavern, 115 S. Elm St.) The Holler Time plays with the kind of Texas twang that puts the band comfortably in the alt-country category, but between the five men who make up this outfit — Kyle Delashaw and Miles Franklin on vocals and guitar, Chad Henderson on lead guitar, Wally Campbell on bass, Zach Landreneau on keyboards and Tex Bosley on drums — saloon rock is the fairest descriptor of all. Twilight Tunes is in its 22nd season. The free concert series draws thousands to the Square each Thursday evening through June. The all-ages concert series invites locals and visitors to the downtown Square to set up lawn chairs or spread blankets and get dinner, dessert, coffee or drinks from the restaurants and bars around downtown. Up next week: Southern soul by Chris Watson. — Lucinda Breeding

orporate mogul Warren Buffett recently stopped by Denton and took a photo with Verus Real Estate Advisors CEO Greg Johnson for the opening of Nebraska Furniture Mart in The Colony. … Denton Bible Church pastor Tommy Nelson officiated the recent wedding of country singer Randy Travis and longtime fiancee Mary Davis. The singer has recovered from a debilitating stroke in 2013. Let’s hope this marriage, Travis’ second, lasts forever and ever, amen. Speaking of church, this year was the second that non-Christian leaders in Denton and Denton County banded together to observe the Interfaith National Day of Prayer. The long-running noontime observance downtown seems to exclude leaders of faiths that pray to deities other than Jesus. … The rape joke heard around Denton (and attributed to the stepson of City Council District 1 candidate Doyle Cain) isn’t even a rape joke — not explicitly. It’s an abduction joke. … Denton artist Kaela Sinclair has been tapped to write original music for a Los Angeles-based Web series, Beautiful Fools. Our prediction is that Sinclair’s contributions will be smooth, seductive and smart. She also just sang the national anthem at a home game for the Rangers. (Don’t worry, purists. She didn’t give it the R&B treatment that makes people squirm.) … Has local ginger musician Nick Norris reached peak beard yet? … University of North Texas President Neal Smatresk may suffer a little embarrassment if some graduates follow through on their plan to turn their backs on Gov. Greg Abbott — call it a silent protest — when he delivers the commencement speech on May 16. All Smatresk wants is to curry a little favor with the new governor. Not a bad idea for a university dependent on state funds. … Who’s bought honey from the vendor in the white van on University Drive, and did it help your danged allergies? What’s the story behind the paint can decorated with little plastic soldiers in front of Recycled Books? Who made it? What does it mean? … UNT journalism lecturer George Getschow is known as the godfather of the annual Mayborn Literary Nonfiction Conference. But he’s also an author. Starting this fall, Getschow is taking a sabbatical from UNT to work on The Walled Kingdom, a book about the plundering of a South Texas cattle ranch. Denton Dammit is an old-fashioned gossip column about people, places and things in and around Denton. Send your submissions to Lucinda Breeding at cbreeding@dentonrc.com.

enton produces its fair share of plays. Whether it’s community theater, college theater or something entirely different, Denton is not a place that shies away from artistic expression. Since it’s such an openminded city, it should come as no surprise that it also attracts some open-minded artists. That is where Fight Boy Theatre and its artistic director Kevin Wickersham come in with their latest play, The Mumbler. Fight Boy is a guerrilla theater production company founded in 2006 by Denton resident Joshua Scott Hancock. The company isn’t necessarily guerrilla by choice, but they don’t have the money to be anything else. Bigger companies like Denton Community Theatre and Musical Theatre of Denton are permanently housed inside Denton’s historic Campus Theater; meanwhile, Fight Boy often operates rehearsals in garages, backyards and public parks. Also, don’t look for them to do Tennessee Williams anytime soon. Fight Boy usually produces its own original work. In fact, it was because of an attempt to perform a wellknown piece that the need for The Mumbler arose. “Last year, we secured the rights and space to perform Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead,” Wickersham said. “Having lost the rights but still having the space booked, we took action.” The Mumbler, according to Wickersham, is a play within a play about a fictional guerilla theater group called Altercation Girl Theater. Upon entering a contest in which they have 48 hours to complete a

play, The Mumbler is born. “Things happen … and don’t happen. There are snakes,” Wickersham said. The play features a who’swho of local community theater talent including Travis Barth, Johnny Bryant, Bryan Patrick, Sean Frith and Mike Stephens. Wickersham even makes an appearance as Señor Mujer. During the day, Wickersham serves soups, salads and alcoholic beverages under a steady flow of jazz at the Greenhouse Restaurant, but in the evening, it’s a solid bet that he can be found rehearsing or performing somewhere in town. “I get ‘Hey, you’re that actor guy’ often enough to enjoy it,” Wickersham said. “But yeah, I’ve been an avid volunteer for Denton Community Theatre for the last 10 years and have worked on David Pierce’s Cirque du Horror for the last two Halloweens. “It’s hard to turn down a

role so I may look familiar, but I assure you it’s only because I’ve probably waited on you.” While Wickersham hides behind a curtain of modesty and self-deprecation, his small theater group has actually created a mountain of local art. Since he took over as artistic director, Fight Boy Theater has produced five full-length plays, a sketch comedy show and two short play festivals — Feast of Plays and Adult Fairytales. A midsize city can create some stiff competition with unlimited talent and limited stage space. Rather than arching his back and displaying his claws, Wickersham embraces the competition and the art that it generates. “You know, I’ve been hanging up show posters in Denton for years now and this was the first time where I encountered so many other show posters with the same show dates as The Mumbler, and that is awesome,” Wickersham said. “It means we’re doing something

as a community. It means that more people are not only buying tickets, but enjoying local theater. It’s a bigger thing than it was five years ago, that’s for sure.” One of Fight Boy’s original missions was to create and cast roles for people of all races, gender identities and sexual orientations. However, that goal has proven to be hard to consistently accomplish — a fact that’s not lost on the director. “It’s important to create all kinds of characters” Wickersham said. “This show features an all-white cast but was written for a multicultural cast. That’s the strange part about trying to cast and direct something you’ve written with specific ideas in mind. Sometimes you don’t end up being able to cast race appropriately, or gender-appropriate for that matter. Gotta love live theater.” STANTON BRASHER has appeared in four Fight Boy shows.

OPENING FRIDAY
Warner Bros. Pictures
Reese Witherspoon, right, and Sofia Vergara boast their share of comedic talent, but they’re woefully wasted in “Hot Pursuit.”
More lukewarm than ‘Hot’ Two funny leading ladies try, but this romp is flat busted By Roger Moore Tribune News Service
Cheap, short and slow, Hot Pursuit is a comedy that never lets your forget that pairing up Sofia Vergara with Reese Witherspoon should have worked better than this. A mismatch-misfire badly misdirected by the director of The Guilt Trip and 27 Dresses, it wastes the Oscar-winning Reese and the spirited spitfire Vergara, who are cast, respectively, as a comically disgraced cop who escorts the wife of a drug lord’s accountant to court. It’s Midnight Run without enough running, The Heat without any heat.
Witherspoon is Officer Cooper, introduced in a cute growing-up montage as the adoring daughter of a policeman father who did ride-alongs with him, pretty much from birth. A little too “intense,” she’s been reassigned to clerk duties in the San Antonio PD evidence room. Until she’s summoned to help a federal marshal (Richard T. Jones) escort a witness and that witness’s wife to Dallas. Vergara is that wife, a shrill Spanish-spewing caricature of the Angry Loud Latina. The job goes wrong when assassins show up, and Cooper and Mrs. Riva flee in Riva’s vintage Cadillac convertible. The movie goes wrong right about here, when the script for an 87-minute-long movie spends minutes explaining away the women’s cellphones. Cellphones might clear this whole
Hot Pursuit Rated PG-13, 87 minutes. Opens Friday.
mess up or shorten an already under-length comedy. The cop is tiny, “dressed like a boy — are you even a woman?” And small, “like a dog I put in my purse.” The mobster’s wife is bigger, brassy, buxom and a flight risk. Vergara may play variations of a “type” in film and on TV (Modern Family) — “That’s Rachel profiling!” — but nobody has every played this type funnier. Every word out of her mouth, in English, Spanish or Spanglish, is potentially funny. “Nice po-leeeese work, Meester Churlock Holmes!”
Witherspoon puts a lot of effort into playing manic and bythe-book, practicing police 10codes “as a relaxation technique,” delicately coming up with a feminine reason to be allowed into the bathroom — “some lady business of the tampon variety.” This never was going to be a smart comedy, but it could have worked. The script is starving for funnier lines and situations, so the two pros they cast in it strain with bits of physical shtick — trying to drive a bus handcuffed to one another, making out to distract a rancher holding a gun on them. No money was spent on villains or other supporting players, and director Anne Fletcher undercuts the stars’ timing. Whatever might have been, the flop-happy Fletcher never lets Hot Pursuit get up to speed.
Black Souls ( ★ ★ ★) This unusual take on a mobster family takes place in southern Italy, specifically Calabria. Two brothers (Marco Leonardi and Peppino Mazzotta) toil in crime, while brother Luciano (Fabrizio Ferracane) tends his sheep on a remote mountainside. But violence breaks the local reverie, setting off ancient grudges, when Luciano’s son Leo (Giuseppe Fumo) commits an act of senseless vandalism. Co-written and methodically directed by Francesco Munzi, based on Gioacchino Criaco’s novel. Not rated, 103 minutes. At the Angelika Film Center in Dallas. — Boo Allen The D Train A Pittsburgh schlub tries to save his high school reunion by securing the attendance of a former classmate turned Hollywood actor, and goes to great lengths to do so. With Jack Black, James Marsden and Kathryn Hahn. Written and directed by Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel. Rated R, 98 minutes. — Los Angeles Times Far From the Madding Crowd ( ★ ★ ★) Provocative Danish director Thomas Vinterberg delivers a fairly faithful if not overly exciting rendition of Thomas Hardy’s title novel set in 1870 Dorset, England. Carey Mulligan appears constantly on-screen as Bathsheba Everdene, a self-described independent woman who inherits an estate after turning down the first of two marriage proposals from shepherd Gabriel Oak (Matthias Schoenaerts). She then eventually also turns down rich landowner William Boldwood (Michael Sheen) before marrying the ill-suited Sergeant Troy (Tom Sturridge), all while keeping her farm and estate solvent. Vinterberg, avoiding excessive flourishes, concentrates on character while following Hardy’s plot-heavy determinism. Rated PG-13, 119 minutes. — B.A. Lambert and Stamp ( ★ 1★ ⁄2) ★ James Cooper directed this engaging documentary that examines the relationship between Chris Stamp and Kit Lambert. They began as budding filmmakers in the 1960s before turning to managing and then promoting rock group The Who. Cooper gives extended interviews to survivors Stamp, Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend, as well as Stamp’s actor brother Terence. The film also serves as a microcosmic look at England in the 1960s and its rock music scene. Rated R, 117 minutes. — B.A.

Frack-tious film Short documentary chronicles city’s historic fight against gas industry
By Lucinda Breeding Features Editor cbreeding@dentonrc.com
U
niversity of North Texas graduate student Garrett Graham saw the energy building around Denton’s anti-fracking movement last year. He assembled a production team for his documentary filmmaking class and followed the action. “Don’t Frack With Denton” isn’t the first film to examine a Texas grassroots movement to defy the oil and gas industry. Josh Fox scored Sundance Film Festival raves (and airtime on HBO) with Gasland in 2010. The Pennsylvania filmmaker traveled to Texas after the gas industry showed interest in his home on the Marcellus Shale. Gasland explored the spoiled land owned and tended by everyday Americans from Colorado to Texas. Graham’s film is a 20-minute documentary about the Denton residents who banded together against an entrenched and well-financed political foe. Texas’ storied history is tied up with oil and gas exploration, and all of the rags-to-riches legends that exploration created. Graham’s documentary gives the floor to the See DOCUMENTARY on 10

Billboards urged Denton voters to vote against a fracking ban — and one got defaced in the leadup to the Nov. 4 vote. It’s shown in a still from Garrett Graham’s short documentary “Don’t Frack With Denton,” which will screen with other students’ work Friday night at the University of North Texas.

Documentary activists — moms, musicians and newly minted environmentalists. Graham counts himself among them. He gives no pretense of impartiality. The filmmaker found a lot to admire about the group that would champion a vote to outright ban hydraulic fracturing. And, he said in his early fundraising materials, kicking the frackers out of town was a “David and Goliath” story. The film reveals the antifracking camp to be a microcosm of the city itself: college students who believe in “green” energy link up with mothers who worry that fracking is at least part of their children’s breathing troubles. “This film is as much about Denton as it is about fracking,” Graham wrote on the film’s site, “and it will reveal what this community means to the people fighting for it and how that affects the way that they organize. As last year’s elections drew near, industry supporters asked

voters to consider the economic fallout of a ban. The electorate didn’t bite. One protestor puts it like this: “People say if you’re against fracking, then you’re against jobs. Well, I think if you’re for fracking then you’re
against children. I just want my kids to be able to breathe.” Among Graham’s footage is an anti-fracking concert, where local musicians performed political songs. It includes vignettes of the key players and looks into the lives of families anxious about the health and well-being of their children. Epilogue: This week the state Senate passed legislation that would pre-empt cities from banning fracking and and enacting a variety of other oil and gas-related rules. The bill is awaiting Gov. Greg Abbott’s signature. LUCINDA BREEDING can be reached at 940-566-6877 and via Twitter at @LBreed ingDRC.

The Age of Adaline ( ★ 1★ ⁄2) As ★ a 20-something who stopped aging 80 years ago, Blake Lively suggests several lifetimes of experience in a love story that ranges from wistful to hopeful, a romance whose female half understands its consequences. A narrator introduces Adaline under “her current alias,” Jenny, on New Year’s Eve of 2014, then backtracks to give a quasi-scientific explanation to the aging that stopped after an icy car wreck in the early 1930s. Adaline goes underground — changing names, changing jobs, investing her money in long-shot stocks. Now she and her retirementage daughter (a sparkling Ellen Burstyn) are the only ones who know her secret. Then a rich dogooder of a suitor, Ellis (Michiel Huisman, Game of Thrones) fixes his eye on her. With Harrison Ford and Kathy Baker.

This time, the threat is accidentally made by one of their own, Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) himself, Tony Stark. Ultron (voiced by James Spader) wants to eradicate all humans on Earth, leaving only robots to do robot things. Good news for movie lovers: You don’t have to be into comics or Avengers days of yore to enjoy the movie (aside from seeing the first), but it does demand some brain power. A lot of the plot happens faster than Quicksilver’s unmatchable speed. The glorious takeaway from Avengers — and the reason you need to rush out to your local cinema ASAP — are director Joss Whedon’s visually sumptuous action sequences. Rated PG-13, 141 minutes. — Chase Whale Ex Machina Shrewdly imagined and persuasively made, this is a spooky piece of speculative fiction about artificial intelligence that’s completely plausible, capable of thinking big thoughts and providing pulp thrills. But even saying that doesn’t do full justice to this quietly unnerving Alex Garland film starring Domhnall Gleeson, Oscar Isaac and Alicia Vikander. Rated R, 110 minutes. — LAT Furious 7 ( ★ 1★ ⁄2) Fast-moving ★ fight scenes, outrageous auto antics and a sprinkling of ridiculous oneliners make Furious 7 a campy, crowd-pleasing escape. Dom (Vin Diesel) and his crew are acclimating

John Randolph, two-time Inspirational Country Music Male Vocalist nominee and the 2013 Male Horizon Award winner, joins a monthly concert series on Saturday night at Denton County Cowboy Church in Ponder.
Back to the classics Old country fans should be charmed by new opry series
Jacy Harold, the current Inspirational Country Music Association Instrumentalist of the Year, is kicking off what he hopes to be a new branch to his highly successful Honky Tonkin’ Opry franchise on Saturday night at Denton County Cowboy Church in Ponder.
J
acy Harold figures he might be able to hold the line against what’s been dubbed “bro country.” That’s the latest permutation that blends the kind of lyrical content hip-hop is famous for — drugs, booze and sex — into pop-rock country music. Here’s how Harold is holding the line: by expanding an experiment he’s named the Honky Tonkin’ Opry. And he debuts the local series at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Denton County Cowboy Church, 400 Robinson Road in Ponder. “I grew up listening to country music when it was still country music,” Harold said. “It was music that made you proud of where you lived; small-town values and lyrics that talked about God, patriotism, family, friends, a strong marriage, kids having good clean fun — and that’s what’s at the heart of the Honky Tonkin’ Opry.” The Honky Tonkin’ Opry franchise started in Gainesville, Florida, nearly two years ago.
The Denton County franchise starts with Harold, the Denton County Cowboy Church band, regular Grand Ole Opry cast member Travis Wetzel, and Jamie Lynn Flanakin, one of inspirational country music’s fastest rising stars. Wetzel is a sought-after fiddle player in Nashville, having played with legends such as Bill Monroe, Del
McCoury, Doyle Lawson and David Frizzell. Co-host and emcee for the evening will be John Randolph, two-time Inspirational Country Music Male Vocalist nominee and the 2013 Male Horizon Award. Admission is $10 at the door. — Staff report
