ouths are watering, and Denton chef Pam Chittenden is responsible. Chittenden announced last Friday that she and Ken Currin, owner of the Greenhouse and Loco Cafe, will open a barbecue joint called the Juicy Pig. Chittenden said they plan to open the restaurant next month. The location: 708 N. Locust St., which was last home to Amitea. Chittenden promised “a little sumpin’ sumpin’ for our pesky vegetarian pals.” ■ The world is so very small. In last weekend’s This American Life, a syndicated show that airs on KERA-FM (90.1), Seattle trumpet player Ahamefule Oluo told a heart-rending story about never getting meet his Nigerian dad, Samuel. Samuel Oluo went to the University of North Texas in the 1970s, where he met Ahamefule’s mother (described as “a white lady” from Kansas). Ultimately, the story is about Ahamefule coming to know his deceased father through his Nigerian half-brother Basil. Ahamefule is married to Seattle writer Lindy West, who also happens to be a colleague and friend of former Denton Record-Chronicle arts writer and Pulitzer Prize finalist Jen Graves. Listen to the episode at http://bit.ly/1jlZRoY. ■ Ken Orman, a North Texas actor who has appeared on stage with Denton Community Theatre, continues to play the role of narcissist Brock Besson in the one-man show I’m Always on My Mind. The show first ran in Dallas theaters and has moved to Fort Worth with performances at 7:30 p.m. today, 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday at Stage West, 821 W. Vickery Blvd. in Fort Worth. ■ Denton’s Kaela Sinclair inked a deal with Defdisco. She’s working on a new album. If you haven’t heard Sinclair’s polished, evocative music, find it here: www.kaelasinclair.com. ■ We have a natural curiosity about the children and families of influential Texans. Cora Jakes Coleman, daughter of the famous Dallas preacher T.D. Jakes of the Potter’s House, will release a book detailing her life story in Faithing It (Destiny Images Publishers). The book hits shelves Nov. 17. ■ The ALS Association’s ice bucket challenge had as many detractors as it had viral videos. But the stunt brought in more than $100 million, Forbes said. So Audacity Brew House and the ALS Association will have an ice bucket auction at 2 p.m. Saturday at the brew house, 1012 Shady

Oaks Drive. The event will auction off opportunities to douse beloved Denton business owners and other local celebs: City Council member Joey Hawkins; Frenchy Rheault of Frenchy’s Lawn & Tree Service; Sparky Pearson of LSA Burger Co. and Barley & Board; Dan Mojica of Dan’s Silverleaf; Monte Jensen of Mellow Mushroom Denton; Alex Moon of Harvest House; the women of Hooters Denton and others. The dousings start at 6 p.m. For more information, visit www.audacitybrewhouse.com. ■ When the Dallas, Denton and Fort Worth rap battle Master of the Mic started, Denton’s Stu Brootal (Stu Ludlow) told us he had no expectation of winning the contest. Recently, Ludlow left the country to live with family in Britain — after making it to the final round of Master of the Mic. ■ Not everybody knows it, but Tattersall Publishing owner and local Kiwanis president Crystal Wood is a cat fancier of the highest order. In addition to lots of volunteering around Denton, the local business owner ferries award-winning Siamese cats through the show circuit. Roxie, a beautiful blue-eyed beast, has charmed more than one judge. ■ Congratulations to Denton Record-Chronicle religion columnist and retired United Methodist minister the Rev. Christy Thomas, who married last Friday. Her husband, Gene, traveled with her to Israel, where she led a Holy Land tour over Easter. (And Rev. Thomas? You might want to change your Facebook relationship status. It still says you’re single.)

Sir Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston) brings his bride Edith (Mia Wasikowska) to his mysterious manor in “Crimson Peak.”
Gothic horror at ‘Peak’ Del Toro crafts a devilish delight with character By Preston Barta For the Denton Record-Chronicle
We never seem to get sick of haunted house movies and ghost stories, do we? And why should we ever tire of a reliable subsection of horror? This is the quintessential genre that takes its time, slowly and subtly building dread in evocative worlds, then populating them with rich, unforgettable characters. Whether it’s the sly thrills from 1980’s The Changeling or the effective jump-scares of 2013’s The Conjuring, we don’t wear ourselves thin on the things that go bump in the night, especially when it comes from a place that seems safe, familiar and comfortable. Making a much-anticipated
return to the genre he helped redefine in recent years, filmmaker Guillermo del Toro places his Crimson Peak on the list of haunted house greats. He has spent his career channeling oldschool horror-thrillers (Pan’s Labyrinth, The Devil’s Backbone), while also making them his own. Del Toro tips his hat to the genre’s best with Crimson Peak, but also doesn’t shy away from character, class and the moments that make you shriek, of course. Featuring a dynamic central trio in Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty), Tom Hiddleston (The Avengers) and Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland), Crimson Peak invites audiences into its devilish delights through a manor that screams of death and deceit. Set against a sumptuous Victorian backdrop, the film haunts its leads with flitting spirits and blood-red phantoms in a house

that Sir Thomas Sharpe (Hiddleston) describes as “a living thing.” But not only are there ghosts running around the halls of Crimson Peak’s titular estate, there’s something uncanny going on between the owners, siblings Sharpe and Lady Lucille (a knock-out Chastain). Del Toro is the key ingredient that keeps Crimson Peak from fading into forgettable obscurity. Through creaky floorboards and mysterious whispers, the filmmaker knows how to evoke a dark and timeless mood using his characteristic flair of lush mysteries and secrets hiding in every shadow. The characters are both compelling and emotionally reso-
nant. We understand their emotions and motivations. Each of the actors handles the drama with aplomb, and they sell the fright with vigor, especially Chastain, who gives a stirring performance as a grave woman whose grating demeanor suggests a cat with ready claws. Just you wait for her scene involving a cup of tea and a screeching spoon. It’s unsettling in the best way. The visuals may overpower the narrative, the rules of logic may not apply, and it may be more strange than scary — but in a time where we have all but given up on contemporary horror in favor of the classics, Crimson Peak shows that great horror is still lurking in the shadows.

Makers make it happen By Lucinda Breeding Features Editor cbreeding@dentonrc.com
W
hen you get down to it, the “maker” movement is a throwback to good old self-reliance. For the organizers of Denton’s inaugural Mini Maker Faire on Saturday, the movement retraces steps back to fading arts — working with a sewing machine, building things with paper, noodling around with a soldering iron. “The maker movement is sort of a back-to-the-roots, learn-how-to-fixthings movement,” said Diane Robson, one of the event organizers who works at the University of North Texas Media Library. “The people who are drawn to the maker movement are interested in how
Creative types put together local fair things work, and how you can fix them instead of throwing them away.” But the maker movement is also about the future, said Heather Gregory, also an organizer of the Denton Mini Maker Faire. A maker might be breaking a longretired sewing machine out of the box, but the same maker might be learning how to write code for computer programs. Gregory said the Denton fair will feature both handcrafting and technology. “We wanted it to represent all of Denton,” she said. “Handmade, technology, art, etc. We knew it would be up to the community to participate and make it well-rounded.”
Gregory recently stepped down as executive director of SCRAP Denton — the acronym is short for School and Community Reuse Action Project. The nonprofit shop that sells secondhand office and art supplies. SCRAP Denton initiated the Mini Maker Faire. “SCRAP had an interest in making it happen and got a team together to help organize,” Gregory said. “We’re really pleased with the result — over 40 handson exhibits, demonstrations and workshops ranging from fine art, traditional craft, technology [and] science.” The fair is a one-day event where attendees of all ages can browse maker tables and try their hand at creating some-
thing simple — whether it’s art, handcrafted items, electronics or mechanics. The Denton event also will feature workshops for knitting, circuit bending and alginate casting, a form of plaster casting. Robson said the maker movement inspires imagination. “I enjoy getting people out there playing and exploring,” she said. “I like the idea of people playing and seeing something new.” The maker movement also reminds people that things like craft, design and technology aren’t over their heads. “People think that, but it really isn’t,” Robson said. “I just made a simple robot pin through soldering, and I was so See on 10

Maker excited. I like realizing that, hey, this isn’t all that hard.” Gregory said the maker movement can go further than fairs and garage workshops. “In terms of impact, I think it’s so much,” she said. “Jobs, innovation, education. It’s about an entrepreneur spirit, problem solving, learning. It stimulates local economies and gets people and experimenting.” Denton business the DIME Store is an example of the maker movement stimulating the economy.

wares and gifts. Robson said librarians have spread the maker movement in their communities. Libraries and other institutions aren’t strangers to hands-on teaching. County extension services have offered outreach programs for gardening and cooking, and Denton libraries still offer workshops teaching people how to use computer software and digital cameras. Promoting maker experiences is an extension of those public library programs. “We’re advocates for that,” Robson said. “We’re there to help filling out IRS forms and, now, showing you how to solder something.” Trey Ford, the technology librarian at North Branch Library, said he’ll be at the Mini Maker Faire with a table where
adults and children can experiment with metal bits and magnets, simple soldering and Arduino, an open-source electronic prototyping platform. Ford said the local library started planning to include maker programming in the library’s work. “We started doing it a year and a half ago,” Ford said. “It evolved out of our having space to do it, and it’s grown organically.” The local fair got some attention from outside of the city, too. “We were really excited when the Perot Museum contacted us,” Robson said. The Dallas museum will bring its new Tech Truck to the event. The colorful truck is a mobile lab where families can tinker, hack and create things with science and art.

Defensive move
Cold War tale celebrates lawyer with tough assignment

Film Critic booa@att.net
Steven Spielberg turns a tale of Cold War espionage into contemporary pop entertainment in the new Bridge of Spies. The often compelling drama is “inspired” by true events, with a script from Matt Charman and brothers Joel and Ethan Coen. As gripping as the story can be, it never creates the intended suspense about how everything will turn out. Spielberg does what he does best: reducing a story about two great powers trying to outwit each other into a personal drama between flawed people. And to personify the magnitude of the events, the director has sagely placed America’s Everyman, Tom Hanks, at the center. Hanks plays Brooklyn insurance attorney Jim Donovan. In 1957, at the height of Cold War paranoia, the CIA captures suspected Russian spy Rudolf Abel (Mark Rylance). A resistant Donovan becomes Abel’s lawyer thanks to the random selection of public defenders. The case invites universal public condemnation — if not wrath — toward Donovan. But Donovan believes in a constitutionally provided fair trial, even if it is for a Russian spy. Abel’s trial passes with little surprise beyond its eventual journey to the Supreme Court. Here, Spielberg weaves in the story of Francis Gary Powers (Austin Stowell), an American pilot of a U-2 spy plane shot down over the Soviet Union and taken captive.

East Germany, setting up a precarious two-for-one swap that might thwart the deal. Spielberg chronicles his story as needed, but he must resort to some heavy-handedness to draw out the drama, such as when Donovan’s Brooklyn home receives gunfire from vigilantes outraged about his assistance for Abel, or when Donovan first journeys into East Germany and a menacing group of street thugs
forces his overcoat off him. Several other sequences play out with Spielberg putting his hand on the dramatic scales. Through it all, however, it’s one man against the CIA, the U.S. justice system, public opinion, the Russians and then the East Germans.
