INFORMATION

Blond ambition By Lucinda Breeding Features Editor cbreeding@dentonrc.com

lay White admits he felt some pressure to raise the bar with Denton Community Theatre’s Legally Blonde. White earned an armload of awards for the company’s 2012 summer staging of Hairspray and then racked up more awards for the 2013 staging of Monty Python’s Spamalot for Greater Lewisville Community Theatre from The Column, a Dallas-Fort Worth theater blog. For White to feel good about Legally Blonde this weekend, the director said the fast-paced musical comedy has to run like the proverbial well-oiled machine. If that machine were pink and sparkly. “It’s a very big show,” White said. “It was the first show I ever saw on Broadway. It has huge choreography numbers, we’ve got a golf cart onstage and two dogs. I definitely felt some pressure. When I’m working with community theater, I still want everything to look really good, professional, really polished.

You can do it.” Legally Blonde is based on the 2001 blockbuster film starring Reese Witherspoon. Elle Woods is a Zeta Nu sister with Malibu Barbie good looks and eyes only for one fraternity dreamboat: Warner. Elle is all set to start picking china patterns for her gotta-happen nuptials when Warner dumps her. Warner insists he can’t marry Elle: If he wants to be a senator by the time he’s 30, he needs “a Jackie, not a Marilyn.” Stunned and beyond heartbroken, Elle decides to follow Warner to Harvard Law School. Maybe a makeover (from bombshell to attorney-chic) will show the one who got away that she might be a bubbly blonde, but she can be serious. Laurence O’Keefe, Nell Benjamin and Heather Hach adapted the film to a musical made up mostly of bright, upbeat numbers. The musical is true to the movie, but fleshes out the role of newly minted lawyer Emmett as a kid from the wrong side of the tracks who means to lift his mom out of poverty with his courtroom successes.

Company pink-washes stage for ‘Legally’ musical

LEGALLY BLONDE What: Denton Community Theatre presents the musical comedy by Laurence O’Keefe, Nell Benjamin and Heather Hach, based on the 2001 film starring Reese Witherspoon. When: 7:30 p.m. this Friday and Saturday and Aug. 15-16, and 2 p.m. Sunday and Aug. 17 Where: Campus Theatre, 214 W. Hickory St. Details: Tickets cost $20 for adults, $18 for seniors 62 and older, and $10 for children and students with a valid ID. For tickets, visit the website or call 940-382-1915. On the Web: www.dentoncommunitytheatre.com

White said Elle Woods became a cinema and stage sweetheart because she’s more than a pretty face and fashion plate. “I think she has the heart of a a sorority girl — everything is pink and sparkly,” he said. “But she’s had a heartbreak, and that makes her relatable.” Legally Blonde also appeals to audiences because it preaches the gospel of being yourself and stretching your capabilities. Elle

Woods isn’t a natural fit for Harvard Law, and she hasn’t concerned herself with deep moral quandaries until she surprises everyone — and herself — by earning a coveted internship with the fierce Professor Callahan. White said Denton Community Theatre’s auditions drew 107 hopefuls, and the directorial team put the women through rigorous auditions to find Elle. The team cast recent Texas Woman’s University graduate Kristi Smith as Elle, who only leaves the stage in 20-second costume changes. Grace Neeley nearly outsings Smith as Vivian Kensington, the Jackie O to Warner’s JFK. “The biggest challenge is to get all the pieces to fit in an organized way,” White said. “You have to divide up all the chores. The cast is doing almost all of the set changes. And I have a great team.” Jaqueline Butt is the production’s choreographer, and Rebecca Lowry is the musical director and pianist. Derek Whitner and Victor Newman Brockwell designed the costumes.

The Casket Girls, a trio featuring the Greene sisters from Savannah, Georgia, will play Dan’s Silverleaf on Tuesday night. The band is touring in support of its sophomore album, “True Love Kills the Fairy Tale.”

Exhuming love By Lucinda Breeding Features Editor cbreeding@dentonrc.com

The story of how sisters Phaedra and Elsa Greene wrote the latest Casket Girls album, True Love Kills the Fairy Tale, sounds like something a publicist might cook up if such a thing were allowed. But it’s God’s honest truth: When Ryan Graveface, the chief songwriter and instrumentalist of the Casket Girls and member of the better-known Black Moth Super Rainbow, dropped in on the pair during the creative process, he said Elsa was sobbing and writing the poetry Phaedra was reciting, trance-like. The next day the Greene sisters dropped off a CD with Graveface and said they weren’t sure what they’d made, and would understand if Graveface scrapped the whole thing. When he didn’t scrap it, Graveface said that the Greenes had to learn the songs — as if someone else had written them. “Elsa and I have been practicing and working with an auto-

matic writing technique for a while,” Phaedra said. “We’re kind of into delving into the the subconscious, and we kind of went into a really different writing style when we did that. We do most of it together.” Phaedra Greene said she and Elsa do sometimes come into the studio or writing session with words from their journals and maybe occasionally from their dreams. But the pair prefers to follow their first instincts. Vocally, True Love sounds like something Best Coast might come up with after a bewitching cabaret performance by 1980s supergroup Bananarama. The Greene sisters have that magical family harmony — the kind born of vowel sounds conditioned by years spent under the same roof. “When Ryan sends us the

Casket Girls’ album raises ghosts of relationships past

songs, we immediately start singing over it together,” Phaedra said. “She has this first instinct that comes out and I sing the first thing that comes out.” True Love is a moody record. A lulling, dirge-y energy dogs the trio throughout. Phaedra said Graveface sets the mood. “We respond to the music he gives us,” she said. “He definitely has a pull to the macabre. He’s also a very definitely feeling person. We consider him the third writer in the group, even if he doesn’t look at it that way.” Graveface said the music is rooted in personal experience. “This record in particular came out of a breakup with someone who now, comically, plays in the band,” Graveface said. “Most of the songs are musically supposed to be really hopeful. I don’t think anything about the music that way when I’m writing. Or after it’s written, for that matter. It almost never sounds like it does in my head. They somehow make everything sound like it was meant to all along.” Graveface discovered the

Greenes one day as they played “strange songs under a tree” in the trio’s hometown of Savannah, Georgia. One of the sisters was accompanying them on an autoharp. Graveface and Phaedra said True Love benefits from the training ground that was the band’s tour in support of its first album Sleepwalking, released in 2012. “We’d never even played live,” Phaedra said. “I think we’re learning. We just finished a double record, and we’ve always had the same formula with Ryan submitting music and us writing it.” Graveface said True Love reflects a maturing music and production. “It’s thought out,” Graveface said. “When we first started working on it, it was kind of random — it was just songs that were written for a project that didn’t exist. I don’t listen to it often, now. But as we’ve toured and played together, I can say that True Love is thought out, pleasing, not as lo-fi as Sleepwalking.”

OPENING FRIDAY The Hundred-Foot Journey (★★★) Adaptation of Richard Morais’ novel about an Indian family opening a restaurant in a French village. Besides the always delightful Helen Mirren and the entertaining Indian actor Om Puri, it has the absurdly good-looking couple of Manish Dayal, as a gifted young Indian chef, and Charlotte Le Bon, as the gorgeous sous-chef who teaches him the joys of haute cuisine (and not much more — this is a PG-rated movie). It also has a script by the talented Steven Knight, and a score by Oscar winner A.R. Rahman (Slumdog Millionaire). Oh, and it’s produced by Oprah Winfrey and Steven Spielberg. Given all these lovely ingredients, then, why is the final product so bland — and, not to lay on too many cooking metaphors, reductive? A couple of scenes feel borrowed from what remains the most original food movie of all, the animated Ratatouille. Rated PG, 122 minutes. — The Associated Press Into the Storm A town is ravaged by deadly tornadoes while storm chasers try to obtain a once-in-alifetime shot in this found-footagestyle thriller. With Richard Armitage, Sarah Wayne Callies and Matt Walsh. Directed by Steven Quale (Final Destination 5).

Diane Keaton and Michael Douglas fight, flirt, annoy and court like it’s 1979. This Rob Reiner comedy has the Oscar winners in grandparent mode, just a couple of spry old-timers forced together when the grandkid he never knew moves in, and prefers the company of the neighbor lady who cannot stand him.

Outside a bleak and barely recognizable San Francisco, apes thrive, led by Caesar (Andy Serkis). Humans (including Jason Clarke and Keri Russell) encroach, setting off the inevitable conflict. Good mix of effects, imaging and atmospherics. Rated PG-13, 130 minutes. — Boo Allen Get On Up (★★★★) Chadwick Boseman, who was impressive as the dignified Jackie Robinson in 42, is

electrifying as James Brown in Tate Taylor’s new biopic. And just as Brown, in life, upstaged pretty much everyone — including his bandmates, the Famous Flames — Boseman does that here. Tate and talented screenwriters Jez Butterworth and JohnHenry Butterworth jump around in time, ditching chronology for a thematic approach. It can get confusing, but it keeps us on our toes. In the end, we have a portrait that is not uniformly positive — Brown was too complicated for that — yet falls mostly on the kinder side. With Dan

The resulting scrum for the orb introduces several more seekers: the green-skinned Gamora (Zoe Saldana), the hulking Drax (Dave Bautista), a bitterly sardonic raccoon named Rocket (Bradley Cooper) and his sidekick, a talking tree called Groot (Vin Diesel). The warm spirit of Guardians owes much to Pratt, the guileless, formerly doughy Parks and Recreation star; his casting in inspired.

She heads to Paris to meet Professor Norman, an expert on cerebral capacity (Morgan Freeman), and simultaneously, she’s trying to recover all the drug packets, with the help of a police detective (Amr Waked). And this is where it gets really weird. At a certain point, the best strategy may be to just sit back, listen to the pounding music, admire those bright colors, and just shut that brain down entirely.

Father James Lavelle (Brendan Gleeson) deals with a mysterious death threat, problems with his parish and the return of his daughter, Fiona (Kelly Reilly), in “Calvary.”

Old rugged cross Gleeson’s priest pays for sins of fathers in ‘Calvary’ By Boo Allen Film Critic booa@att.net

What might not be apparent at first glance is that the new movie Calvary is a mystery. In the opening scene, an anonymous voice tells a priest during confession that he will kill him in two weeks. The voice also states the time and place. But before that may or may not happen, writer-director John Michael McDonagh creates and then dissects a village filled with colorful yet troubled characters. And he does this while also delivering a large helping of black humor. This ticking-clock scenario

may resemble High Noon, but at least in that classic Western, audiences knew who was heading to town to gun down Gary Cooper. Here, any one of the male natives of Sligo, Ireland, could be out to murder Father James Lavelle (Brendan Gleeson). The disembodied voice says he was abused by a priest as a child. Now, for revenge, he plans to gain notice for his subsequent pain by murdering a good priest. Meanwhile, the good father has his own problems in the forms of a shrinking parish, other bodily threats, poor church attendance, a general lack of respect from everyone, and a daughter (Kelly Reilly) by a marriage that came before his ordination returning home after a failed suicide attempt. In his daily local travels, Lavelle encounters his would-be assailant sev-

eral times, but the audience never learns of this until later. McDonagh deftly sustains our interest with Lavelle’s attendance to everyday matters. The village becomes a jigsaw puzzle, with various pieces fitting together, all important to the overall picture. It seems everyone connects to everyone else in some way, with Lavelle being one of the few connecting threads. In addition to the ominous death threat, a sense of doom lingers over Lavelle and the village. Various circumstances sug-

gest that the priest’s church is dead and no longer has any influence over Sligo or the behavior of its natives. Lavelle deftly handles his problems with the assistance of McDonagh’s consistently witty and barbed script. Hardly a line of dialogue passes without a bite or a smile, or both. Gleeson brings a stoic sadness to his role, a part specifically written for him by McDonagh after their last collaboration on the criminally overlooked 2011 film The Guard. Here, the movie, like the village Sligo, needs a strong presence, and Gleeson fills it even if the woeful parishioners don’t recognize it. BOO ALLEN is an awardwinning film critic who has worked for the Denton RecordChronicle for more than 20 years. He lives in Dallas.

Raphael, Michelangelo, Leonardo and Donatello, the title characters of “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” were created using a motion-capture process.

Half-baked heroes in a half-shell CG is convincing but can’t save overstuffed reboot

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

By Peter Hartlaub San Francisco Chronicle

The steroidal title characters in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles look as if they’re going to end up on a cartoon version of the Mitchell Report. Some day, historians will look back at this generation’s baseball players, Outback Steakhouse appetizers and ninja turtles as symbols of the era’s excess. Come to think of it, the whole TMNT movie is overinflated — like watching an otherwise tolerable music video, stretched out to 101 minutes. There are so many better ways to spend the last few weeks of summer vacation — including seeing superior movies in theaters right next door to where this one is playing. OK, that wasn’t totally fair. No one was expecting Boyhood or even a Dawn of the Planet of the Apes level of quality with this film. Like the first Transformers, the latest attempt to introduce Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arguably exceeds its low expectations. Besides WWE-level pectoral muscles and biceps, two things the new turtles have going for

Cameraman Vern (Will Arnett) and reporter April (Megan Fox) stumble onto a big story in “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” them: 1. After years of rumors that the film would deviate from the original comic book vision of Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman, the movie sticks fairly closely to its history. The opening credits sequence is particularly effective, using cel-shaded comic art to introduce the characters. 2. Whatever you think of the rest of the movie, as fully realized flesh-and-blood CG characters, the turtles are impressive and almost always convincing. (The creepiness you noticed in the trailers is intentional, and wisely acknowledged multiple times in the script.) While Leonardo and

Rafael lack the pathos of Gollum, it’s just as easy to forget that they’re visual effects creations. In this Ninja Turtles, Leo, Raf, Michelangelo and Donatello are the result of a science experiment, trained for 17 or so years in the sewer by their lifesize rat sensei, Master Splinter. They’re too immature for the real world to see them yet, but bolder crimes by the Foot Clan leader Shredder forces them into the open. Megan Fox is April, an intrepid journalist who never seems to be writing anything down and needs to get rescued a lot. Will Arnett appears to be

playing his Gob character from Arrested Development as a TV cameraman. William Fichtner, as a billionaire with a horrible secret, has effectively played the nice-guy-who-really-is-sinister so many times on the big screen, one can only assume the real Fichtner gives out the best Halloween candy on his block, but has 20 bodies secretly buried in his backyard.

ian specifications. (“More slow motion when the human Swiss Army Knife thing throws the daggers!” ... “No, no no! Make sure the turtle farts in the other turtles’ faces before the product placement for Pizza Hut!”) Liebesman is very good at giving action audiences what they want the most (coherent action sequences and relatable characters) even as he leaves out the things that professional movie critics demand (narrative coherence and a mature take on a subject). The end of the movie is particularly frustrating, as the spectacle overwhelms the story. In the long run, the divide between paying audiences who think they got their money’s worth and outraged critics tends to shorten. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is one of those films that 20 years later, filmgoers won’t be able to remember if they watched the entire thing, or just saw the trailer.

eldrick Scott doesn’t claim to be a rapper. The Denton High School alumnus doesn’t count himself among the city’s many musicians. The CEO of the newly minted Denton label Gitmo said he just had a vision and some hustle.

“I can’t rap. I can’t sing. I can’t produce,” Scott said. “My concept was breaking barriers and building bonds. I know all these artists and I know their music. There was a lot of division in the Denton rap scene. A lot of people on the scene wanted to work with certain people. I wanted to get people to work with people they’d

never worked with. And I wanted to get people to work with producers they’d never worked with.” It turns out that Scott either has good instincts or missed a calling in politics. Gitmo’s debut release, Breakin’ See GITMO on 10

Ritchy Flo deals a full house of winning beats, a rhythm anchored by a chime-like, pendulum swing of a beat. Flo adds in a twitchy electro rattle and blunted bumping drumbeat. Flo’s beat inspires a triumvirate of young flowmasters Wild Bill, Buk Baby and Masa Lopez. Wild Bill claims his space with confidence, asking, “What’s your bread count?” Buk Baby goes on a tear of first-rate verse, working the metaphor over for all he can (“you trying to get a slice, we going for the loaf”), then passes the baton to Lopez.

Gitmo Music’s debut release is “Breakin’ Barriers: Buildin’ Bonds,” with artwork by Todd Little. Courtesy art

From Page 9

Gitmo Barriers: Buildin’ Bonds, is a strapping record of intentional hip-hop made by young men (and women) who crave precise verse and integrity. There’s no big pimping or fake stunting, just fiery upstart artists who can turn their less-thanglamorous hustle into the kind of conviction that shows you the riches through their rags. Scott said he framed the project as a favor at first, but paid for talent and studio time, too. Three partners financed the record, and Scott said the project took 11 months in part because they were paying $60 for a beat, $100 for mixing services and more for studio time. “We did the first song, and let me tell you, Facebook is amazing,” Scott said. “Once we started to do tracks, the artists started talking about it on Facebook and people started showing up.” Scott didn’t divulge any rivalries, but said Breakin’ Barriers did just that. “When we started, there were some artists who didn’t like each other, who had a history of threatening each other,” he said. Scott said his concept was to avoid making a mix tape. “They didn’t submit songs,” he said. “If you wanted to be on a track, you had to show up. We’d all meet. I’d be like, ‘You

want to make a song? We’re meeting up.’ The artists talked about their ideas. They’d write a few bars and another artist would say, ‘Try this.’ If it was good enough, they got on the track. If it wasn’t, they didn’t. But they could keep trying. None of them wanted to be the weakest guy on the track. Hip-hop guys are good followers.” Scott recruited accomplished local producers to build the music: Izzy “The Kid,” Shagg, Apollo Bangz, TLit, Digo, Ritchy Flo, Trae “THEEEE” Hitmakah, Quicksaand and Stu Brootal. Scott said they made 36 songs and put 19 on the record, plus an intro. The rappers take turns proclaiming their primacy on the local scene (“The Last Supper,” “Loyalty and Respect” and “Ball in My Zone”) and take a few breaks to suspend the jockeying for old-school feel-good numbers ( “Light Up a Blunt,” “Pour It Out” and “One of a Kind”). The record is a sampler of Denton’s old guard hip-hop — with Pudge of Fab Deuce, Stu Brootal and Ernie McCrackin’ writing bulletproof bars. Southeast Denton gets good representation on the record, with the likes of more hardcore rap from Smitty and Whoa seasoning the record with old-school chest thumping. AV the Great teases listeners with gold-standard bars, but doesn’t eclipse his peers. You end up wanting more of Denton’s hip-hop golden child, but AV was understandably reserving energy for his third album due out at the end of the

month. Likewise for Wreckamic, a guy with impeccable flow and writing chops. Rising Denton hip-hop artist Wild Bill’s poetry and pinpoint meta-cultural references are as sharp as ever. Breakin’ Barriers brings a diverse crew together, but the roundtable construction of the record makes for a cohesive product. Scott pays the bills working in home health, but said he’s got a roster of talent signed to Gitmo. He said he feels like the project was a way of making a contribution to a city that set some hopes on him. Scott graduated from Denton High in 1998, and played football on scholarship for the University of Minnesota for a year (“Man, I love the cold,” he said). “I just woke up one day and didn’t want to do that anymore. I’d been having issues with the coach,” Scott said. “I decided to come home. A lot of people probably think I didn’t do right.” Gitmo seems poised for a future, even if he’s not making money yet. “There are 20 more rappers who want to be on the next one,” Scott said. Breakin’ Barriers will be available on iTunes and at Recycled Books Records CDs. “There’s unity in the scene now,” Scott said. “Maybe not all the issues got settled, but they at least got set aside.” LUCINDA BREEDING can be reached at 940-566-6877.

■ “Pocket Full of Knots” — Pudge opens the track with tricky rapid-fire rhyme about the life of a rapper who isn’t rolling in cash, but isn’t low on grind, either. Stu Brootal eases through the speed-round without a hitch, letting LOC and Duke pack heat with more aggressive rhyming. King Pap doesn’t disappoint, ticking off the hard work it takes to be in the game: early mornings, naysayers, lackluster props from name-droppers. If this is hip-hop by committee, it’s an example of how to punch the clock proper. ■ “One of a Kind” — You know how Big Boi seems to make melodies without breaking a sweat? If there’s one thing Breakin’ Barriers lacks, it’s singing. Close to the end of the record, Rockbaby, Buk Baby and LOC break off some sweet, soulful singing. The trio takes a page out of a slambook by Prince and Andre 3000, laying down some lazy falsetto (you can nearly see them lounging through a blunt-fueled haze) between the bars of boss rhyme. — Lucinda Breeding
