ervice Industry owner Nick Zala has spoken: The newish local bar isn’t floundering. Zala said former general manager JB Paschal resigned, and that the bar has “a fantastic new GM Matt Turner, who is an absolute black belt in this business.” Got it. ■ An expat Australian who visited the North Texas Fair and Rodeo wasn’t impressed with our fair and blogged about it on the Wandering Wombat (http://bit.ly/1LXJl7v). Who can blame this Aussie for finding cattle dull when she comes from the continent that is home to the craziest and most lethal animals on the planet? ■ The Change.org petition to replace the Denton County Confederate Soldier Memorial with a statue of Kanye West (http://chn.ge/1K8gbii) has more votes than a Change. org petition to relocate the memorial inside the Courthouse on the Square (http://chn.ge/1XM2CPQ). And can we pick a nit? It isn’t a monument. It is a memorial, and that’s an important distinction. Important enough to stop calling it a monument. ■ It wouldn’t be hip-hop without beef. Denton’s busiest crew and record label, Gitmo Music, got a lot of heat when Gitmo artists Stu Brootal and Ritchy Flo advanced to the next round of Masters of the Mic, a contest to find the best
11 a.m. — Read to Rover at South Branch Library, 3228 Teasley Lane. Free.

2 p.m. — “Small Business Marketing on a Shoestring Budget,” a free workshop at North Branch Library, 3020 N. Locust St. Learn how to form an inexpensive plan to reach prospective customers and increase your company’s visibility. Presented by business outreach librarian Kerry Montz and marketing specialist Randy Simmans. Free, but registration is required.

Bring your system, games and cards to play for prizes with other Pokemon fans. Recommended for ages 8-16. Free, but registration is required. Call 940-349-8752 or visit www.dentonlibrary.com. 6 p.m. — Premiere film screen-
rapper in D-FW. Social media lit up late last Thursday when fans of Pudge Brewer and King Pap felt the two were robbed because neither is exclusive to Gitmo. And then there were those who felt the judges, Matt Battaglia, Keisha D. Hunter and Anton Schlesinger were in the hip pocket of Gitmo founder Keldrick Scott. At any rate, it’s anyone’s guess as to which Denton talent will make it to the finals. Ritchy Flo comes with a deadly combination of smooth conceit and preternatural rhyming chops. Stu Brootal is a master of stagecraft and deals in that good old crowd Kryptonite: authenticity. ■ One-time Denton resident Tyler Donahue was a regular on the local stage for years, singing principal roles for Music Theatre of Denton. After working and living in Spain for a few years, Donahue was recently cast in the German premiere of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Love Never Dies. Donahue and the cast worked with Sir Lloyd Webber himself on Monday. Oscar Seung, who was the music director for Music Theatre of Denton’s The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, might make it to the small screen. Seung is part of the cast of an Asian-American family drama with the working title American Dynasty. Creators expect to pitch the drama to the networks for distribution. Pilot pitch season in the U.S. is generally in January. ■ Let us say this about that: Flatlanders Taco Co. is tucked away on Oakland Street just off East Hickory. The cafe is bright and inviting. The food is terrific. The only beef (from certain gringos on the newsroom staff): Flatlanders serves only corn tortillas. A choice between corn and flour would be preferable. ■ Penny Johnson, who lives in Dallas, has her share of Denton stage time under her belt. The cosplayer was bowled over recently when Lynda Carter, a.k.a. Wonder Woman, liked photos of Johnson dressed as the famous Amazonian princess for a convention.

Artist Abby Sherrill, whose “Spoon Collection” hung in the Meadows Gallery at the Patterson-Appleton Arts Center last year, got together with fellow University of North Texas grad Rachel Fisher to create Brick Haus Collective.
Collective experience Fledgling art group hosts ‘Open Haus’ A pair of University of North Texas art graduates recently started a collective they’ve named Brick Haus. On Saturday night, the collective will host “Open Haus,” an exhibit, silent auction, sale and concert, from 7 to 11 p.m. at Brick Haus Collective, 215 S. Woodrow Lane, and there’s no cover charge. The collective has converted an old auto body shop into a gallery and venue. Rachel Fisher and Abby Sherrill, both of whom earned their Master of Fine Arts degrees at UNT, got a microgrant
from the Nasher Sculpture Center. With it, Fischer and Sherrill converted the auto body shop into a space that includes studios, exhibitions, workshops and programs for the community. “Open Haus” features an exhibit by collective artists, vendor booths, interactive art activities and live music. Vendors include UNT Clay Guild, Pan Ector Industries, UNT Fibers Collective, Triple Threat Press, Print Making Association of North Texas Students, Alex Stock, Polg and Fetusicle — with more vendors expected. Sherrill and artist Analise Minjarez will direct the interactive art. Music by bands Momwow and Wiving will start at 9 p.m. — Staff report

Curb appea The flocks will come out to gawk at Arts, Antiques & Autos on the Square By Lucinda Breeding Features Editor cbreeding@dentonrc.com
T
his Saturday, the downtown Square will sport hot rods and classic cars, chalk art and antique appraisals during the Denton Main Street Association’s annual fall party, Arts, Antiques & Autos Extravaganza. The free family event opens at 9 a.m. and runs through 3 p.m.
The autos
The showstopping car show promises to park more than 200 cars, trucks and motorcycles on the streets surrounding the downtown Courthouse on the Square. Owners compete for awards. There’s the coveted Best of Show Award, first place in the original or modified category for each class, or a participant’s choice award. Winners of the car show get bragging rights and a memorable trophy made from old auto parts that are hand-painted by local artists. Festival attendees can pick up a ballot at the information booth to vote on their favorite vehicles, too, choosing winners for six whimsical awards, including Best Family Truckster and Best MidLife Crisis Car. Vehicle owners will be on hand to talk about their pride and joy.
The art
Vendor booths on the Square will sell fine arts and crafts, and downtown galleries, boutiques, studios and vintage stores will be open during the event. A chalk art festival will make a canvas of the West Oak Street sidewalk, and all ages can register to grab some chalk and create a mural or a trompe-l’oeil on the pavement. Winners in three age categories can walk away with some cash prizes. The top winner of the competition gets $150 cash. The entry fee is $10 for adults, $5 for ages 12 to 17, free for ages 11 and younger. Registration includes one box of chalk — 12 colors — but each additional box costs $5. Artists can bring their own sidewalk chalk; don’t forget to bring a pillow, blanket or cardboard to kneel or sit on. For entry forms and more details, visit www.denton mainstreet.org. Chalk art entries will be judged by 2 p.m. A car will be on site and open for participants to color with chalk.

Extravaganza Roadshow in miniature, thanks to the appraisals. Antique collectors — and folks who have inherited something unusual — can learn some fast facts about a special antique or heirloom through “Attic Treasure” infor-
mational appraisals. Specialists and dealers from downtown antique stores will take a look at antiques (and these should be objects that an adult can carry and hold — no furniture or photos will be appraised). Specialists will inspect the antiques — collectibles, art, jewelry and small accessories like lamps and dishes — and give
owners information about it. Visitors can bring up to three items each. Appraisals cost $5 per item or three for $10. Appraisal tickets can be purchased on Saturday at the information booth on the corner of the lawn at Locust and Hickory streets. A silent auction inside the Courthouse on the Square will open bids on some items rang-
ing from downtown merchant goods and restaurant gift certificates to local entertainment packages. Arts, Antiques & Autos wouldn’t be a Denton festival without music. Festivalgoers can listen to local bands throughout the day on the courthouse lawn, featuring Jeff Glover and Joe Pat Hennen, Woody’s Rampage and High
School Caesar. The fall festival is complete with treats from downtown coffeehouses, candy stores, ice cream shops, restaurants and vendors selling a variety of cuisines and festival foods. LUCINDA BREEDING can be reached at 940-566-6877 and via Twitter at @LBreeding DRC.

By Sheri Linden A family get-together starts out strange and quickly enters nightmare territory in The Visit, a horror-thriller that turns soiled adult diapers into a motif. Told from a cameraequipped kids’-eye-view, M. Night Shyamalan’s latest is well cast and strong on setting. But the dull thudding that resounds isn’t part of its effective aural design; it’s the ungainly landing of nearly every shock and joke. Notwithstanding the evidence of Shyamalan’s features since the pitch-perfect Sixth Sense, hope endures among fans that lightning will strike twice. In the wake of bloated recent outings After Earth and The Last Airbender, that hope takes on a particular fervency with this modestly scaled return to straight-up genre fare. That anticipation will drive theatrical business for the feature, as will the lure of sheer horror fun, at least until word-of-mouth stems the box-office tide. Early in the film, there’s a wonderful moment when a mom’s exuberant clowning shifts to tears. Played by the terrific Kathryn Hahn, she’s a divorced woman seeing her kids off at the train station. From that point on, the energy, warmth and nuance of her performance is reduced to intermittent Skype sessions — a crucial element to the story, but nonetheless a letdown for the viewer. To give Mom time alone with her boyfriend, teenage Becca (Olivia DeJonge) and tween Ty-

Universal Pictures
Nana (Deanna Dunagan) and Pop Pop (Peter McRobbie) are just a sweet old couple who live in a Pennsylvania farmhouse in M. Night Shyamalan’s latest movie, “The Visit.” ler (Ed Oxenbould), a serious germophobe and aspiring rapper, have volunteered for a weeklong stay at the Pennsylvania farm of their grandparents. It’s an especially generous offer given that they’ve never before met Nana and Pop Pop (Deanna Dunagan and Peter McRobbie). But there’s more to it than generosity; the camera-wielding siblings, budding auteur Becca in particular, sense an opportunity to make a documentary that uncovers the generational rift between their grandparents and their mother, who left the farm as a teenager, under circumstances she refuses to discuss. Cinematographer Maryse
Alberti captures the sense of a nonstop work in progress, seen through the lenses of the kids’ video cameras and laptop, with reality-style interviews, off-center framing and P.O.V. night footage a la Blair Witch. Shyamalan uses the various devices to tiring effect, and without conjuring the requisite deep chills. Playing off the winking selfconsciousness of the film-withina-film, there’s a jokey aspect to the feints and shock cuts. The writer-director’s would-be sendup of down-home country comfort tries to have fun with fairytale terrors. The result is almost always mechanical rather than exciting or funny, despite the ac-
tors’ layered performances — the self-aware kids, Dunagan’s otherworldly weirdness and McRobbie’s unnerving deadpan. The rural winter backdrop works as a fitting contrast to Mom’s Skype dispatches from her sunny cruise-ship vacation. Within what’s essentially a single setting, Shyamalan and Alberti keep things visually diverse but cohesive, while Naaman
Marshall’s clean farmhouse interiors avoid the common trap of over-design. The movie is not without an emotional core, though: It’s Hahn’s mostly absent character, and although she’s called upon to deliver the heavy-handed moral of the story, she manages to make every moment she’s onscreen ring true. In one of the few gags that connects in this missed opportunity of a film, Tyler utters the names of female singers rather than cursing when he’s upset or disappointed. To borrow that conceit, a fair response to The Visit might be “Cher, Rihanna, Dolly Parton.”
Hunt (Tom Cruise) is onto something ceived as No Escape, a taut, wellreally bad: the Syndicate, a nefarious made and entirely dubious thriller. It’s group of former spies led by a vague, about a Texas family that arrives in an sinister leader (Sean Harris). Directorunnamed Asian country only to writer Christopher McQuarrie (The immediately be swept up in a horribly Usual Suspects) puts his own stamp violent coup that sends them scamon the proceedings with both a wry pering for survival through foreign, script that often makes fun of what’s unfamiliar streets strewn with bodies happening, and some seriously and blood. With Owen Wilson and entertaining action pieces. Rated Lake Bell. Co-written and directed by PG-13, 131 minutes. — AP John Erick Dowdle. Rated R, 102 No Escape ( ★ ★) Not since Saigon in minutes. — AP the 1970s has an American operation The Transporter Refueled An in Southeast Asia been as ill-conexpert wheelman is coerced by a
quartet of femmes fatales to help them take down a crew of Russian human traffickers. With Ed Skrein, Ray Stevenson and Loan Chabanol. Directed by Camille Delamarre. Rated PG-13, 96 minutes. — LAT A Walk in the Woods ( ★1⁄2)★In the wake of Reese Witherspoon’s Wild, we now have “Mild,” better known as A Walk in the Woods. It stars Robert Redford and Nick Nolte as travel writer Bill Bryson and his buddy having a go at the Appalachian Trail for a little light banter and a
casual insight or two regarding life’s highways. Nolte’s sweaty, grunting, growling depiction of a veteran libertine, lawbreaker and substance abuser is the best thing in a pretty routine picture. It has been directed with a surfeit of jumpy, fractured reaction shots by Ken Kwapis (The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants), and the technique does little for either the comic or dramatic rhythms. With Emma Thompson, Kristen Schaal and Mary Steenburgen. Rated R, 104 minutes. — Chicago Tribune
