Wade Bowen @ Harry’s

W

by Ike Ntube

Wade Bowen has made his rounds in the Texas country music circuit, and with all of that hard work he’s seeing his fame grow nationally, beyond his red dirt roots. The artist from Lubbock found his passion while attending Texas Tech and was introduced to the Texas country scene. He’ll be performing at Harry’s with Will Hoge on Friday, October 19 at 9pm.

Bowen’s first major label album, The Given, was released back in May with a title that’s pretty self-explanatory. The album has it’s title simply because Bowen attributes all of his success to his fans; they gave it to him, and so now he’s giving them music after not having any releases for three years.

Bowen’s first inspiration was Robert Earl Keen; his band even started as a cover band for some of Keen’s music. But Bowen’s love for country soon turned into a love for songwriting as he grew as a performer. After graduating from Tech, he decided to become a solo act and to move to Austin for more exposure.

The album does a great job of showcasing Bowen’s voice, which is described as a “dense and concentrated baritone with traces of whiskey and smoke and an autumnal warmth,” his website says. The album keeps all the things that Bowen has been praised for in tact, such as “cerebral lyrics” and “edgy rock riffs,” while having a sound that can take over national country radio.

Try Not To Listen, Bowen’s first album, saw some local success. He made his living at that point by performing—a lot. He traveled and played over 200 nights a year as he watched his fan base grow.

With Bowen’s next album, Lost Hotel in 2006, he blew up on the Texas charts. The opening track of the album, “God Bless This Town,” reached number 1 on the Texas Music Chart.

Since then, he’s released six more singles that hit the top of the chart, and three more that landed among the top five.

Sleeperstar @ Grand Stafford

by Luke Murray

U

Unless you live within the Austin city limits, it’s often hard to fathom that a musical act from Texas can be anything but country. Being Texans, most of us have country music woven into the fabric of our existence. We need to understand that Texas generates an obscene amount of talent, and it can’t possibly be contained in one genre. Emerging from the cracks of I-35 asphalt is a band that will captivate your eardrums. The band is Dallas-based sensation Sleeperstar.

after. Then at the very last second, we were like, ‘You know, I think this is strong enough to get its own little place on the record,’ so it earned its own spot.”

What does it take in today’s world to propel a small-time musical act to the top of the charts?

Something extraordinary, in most cases, would be the best answer. A lot of them posses some serious world-class talent, vocals that are unique, lyrics that are genuine, and musicality that leaves you begging for more, but they lack that opportunity to be heard by someone who can broadcast their talent to the masses.

“I literally think the week before it sold a handful of copies,” said Pearson. “And then one play on Vampire Diaries and that song was like the number one purchased song on iTunes in the country from our aggregator, which was Tune Core. We were passing Nine Inch Nails and Civil Wars and all these bands, which was really funny cause we are still a very new band as far as the general public’s concerned. So it was pretty neat, the whole thing was truly organic.”

It seems as if pop-culture today is overrun with Team Edward and Team Jacob, people obsessed with everything to do with nocturnal blood-thirsty eternal beings. From Harry Potter to Twilight, the current generation is consumed with all things fantasy. So what better way to reach your own level of success than to take advantage of the already established trend? That is exactly what happened to Sleeperstar.

They were contacted by the hit television show, Vampire Diaries, and were asked if the show could feature a song off their 2010 album, Just Another Ghost. The song they wanted was “I Was Wrong”, a track that almost did not make the cut. Luckily for Sleeperstar, the band rallied together and decided to include the song on the album. Otherwise, they may have missed their break.

As a result, their music has made its way onto the Top 40 music charts in Germany, Australia, France, Italy, Belgium, Israel and 26 other countries. It goes to show that if you have the talent like Sleeperstar, it only takes one little spark to set your entire future on fire.

“We almost didn’t even put that song on the record,” said front-man, Chris Pearson, in an interview with Beatweek Magazine. “And then we all kind of liked it so much, it kind of had this vibe to it, we were like, ‘We’ll make it a secret song’, you know, we’ll let a track run and put it in two minutes

How crucial is one little event like having your song play on TV to the success of your career? How about crucial enough to go from selling only a couple to a couple thousand copies in a matter of days.

Sleeperstar will be at Grand Stafford Theater on October 18. Opening bands for the show are The Canvas Waiting, Gatlin Elms, and Reynolds Number. Tickets are available at grandstaffordtheater.com.

Rock 103.9’s Home Brew Concert @ Grand Stafford Theater

A

by Ike Ntube

At the end of a crazy weekend, you might find yourself wanting more. Who said Sunday wasn’t a great night for entertainment anyway?

Let the Grand Stafford Theater be the place to get rid of your leftover weekend energy on Sunday night as they bring in three heavy bands for a special concert.

Rock 103.9 is the host this Sunday for an event called Home Brew Live, featuring No Such Thing, Hindsight, and Brothers N’ Arms. Home Brew is a special live production that Rock 103.9 does every Sunday night to showcase local hard rock bands; but this week’s event is special because it’s live instead of the station’s regular live radio show.

OR 2 Cookies

No Such Thing formed in Hamilton and is now based out of Austin. They’ve recently released an EP called This One’s For You earlier this year. These guys are pretty seasoned in their genre although they don’t’ have the most notoriety. They’ve performed at Uproar Festival, Warped Tour, and have shared the stage with Avenged Sevenfold, Three Days Grace, Seether, Bullet For My Valentine, Powerman5000, and Of Mice and Men. Hindsight is a riff-and-percussion-driven hard rock band formed in Sugarland. Their music is based on life experiences that the members of the band have transformed lyrically and tonally. The band encourages fans to talk to them if they hear songs that resonate with them personally. Hindsight has shared the stage with Fuel, Fair to Midland, Days of the New, and Rusty Cooley.

Brothers N Arms is the most local band of the three, even though they stake claims to both Austin and College Station. According to their Facebook page, one of the band’s primary motivations for writing songs is “helping the lost find their way by making a positive impact on their lives through music.” BNA’s influences range from Metallica to POD, Nirvana to Led Zeppelin. They have an EP available on Itunes.

Gene Baur, President and Co-Founder of Farm Sanctuary C Z by hris ebo

G

Gene Baur has been hailed as “the conscience of the food movement” by TIME magazine.

For 25 years he has traveled extensively, campaigning to raise awareness about the abuses of industrialized farming and our cheap food system. His achievements include helping pass the first U.S. laws to protect animals on farms (winning the first-ever cruelty conviction at a U.S. stockyard) and opening the country’s first shelters for abused and neglected farm animals.

His work to champion farm animal protection has garnered the support of celebrities such as Ellen DeGeneres, Alec Baldwin, Martha Stewart, and Chevy Chase, and Baur has made headlines around the world, including numerous stories in The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, New York Times,Washington Post, and USA Today. He has appeared on countless television and radio programs, including “The Larry King Show,” “The Martha Stewart Show,” and various programs on CNN and the Fox News Channel.

To commemorate a quarter century of work for farm animals, Baur is on a speaking tour across North America, stopping at A&M to speak in the

Zachry Engineering Center (Room 1028pm) from 7pm-8pm on Monday, October 22. The event is free and open to the public.

MW: Back in the day, at the age of many of the students you’ll be speaking to in Aggieland, you paid your tuition in part by doing background work in commercials for fast food restaurants such as McDonalds. You’ve said you’ve regretted it after your experiences at industrial farms. But before your awakening, did you also gain an insight into how the culture at large takes for granted where its food comes from? You, too, were once innocently complicit in the system. In your activism, do you carry a sense of understanding toward people who are like you were at one time?

Baur: I do, because I myself took part in that larger culture. My turning point came when I thought about where my food came from. Once I understood that “food” animals are just as deserving of compassion as my pet cat Tiger, and that I could live well and obtain all my dietary nutrients without eating animals, and once I thought about how factory farming negatively affects public health and the environment, I knew I could choose something more compassionate. My background as a meateater has helped me relate to people who still eat meat, because I understand how almost everyone

grows up adopting this habit without thinking very much about it. I learned that it is not necessary to eat meat or other animal products, despite what we are told and led to believe as children. So yes, I definitely understand where people who were just like me once are coming from.

MW: What goes through your mind as you prepare to speak at an agricultural school like A&M? You know a significant portion of the student population is studying Ag Sciences. How do you prepare to speak to students who you know are committed to the very industry that you’re trying to revolutionize?

Baur: I’m excited to speak to people who might have a different opinion than I do and to people who may not understand my perspective. I like to quote Benjamin Franklin, who said, “If everybody thinks the same way, nobody’s thinking.” I consider this visit to A&M an opportunity to learn, educate and start a dialogue, and maybe change some minds about farm animals and our food system. In animal agriculture and in our society at large, there isn’t enough thought about the various negative consequences and externalities associated with raising animals for food. I want to propose the idea that rather than mere economic units, farmed animals are sentient beings who think, feel, and deserve compassion.

MW: What do you want students to take away from your talk on Monday? What rhetorical seeds do you wish to plant in their minds?

Baur: A few things. I want Aggie students to question their philosophies of eating—ask themselves which animals they eat, if any, and why. For some, the idea that farm animals have unique personalities just like our companion cats and dogs will be a novel one. I also want them to consider the environmental consequences of industrialized animal farming.

Finally, I want students to know that eating animal products is absolutely not necessary, and, for those interested in careers in agriculture, there are

pg 10 | maroonweekly.com | 10.17.12

many emerging opportunities to tap into the growing vegan market. It’s not only doable—and compassionate—but also exciting and empowering to adopt a plant-based lifestyle.

MW: You’ve spent years of your life giving talks like the one you’ll give on Monday. You’re a seasoned activist. You’ve contributed to the passing of unprecedented reforms in farming techniques.

When you’re trying to reach out to people, how do you approach them? Some activists engage people in intelligent discourse while others can be militant.

What ethos have you assumed after all of these years? And what advice would you give to others—in any realm of activism—who wish to make an impact?

Baur: My philosophy is to educate and encourage people to make choices that are aligned with their own values and their own interests. I can’t tell people how to live, nor do I make demands, but I can help bring attention to issues that are too often ignored. Most people are compassionate, and most people want to eat food that is healthy; but at the same time, consumers unwittingly support an agricultural system that makes them uncomfortable because of the inhumane ways animals are treated, and they eat foods that are literally making them sick. Thankfully, there are a number of programs, like the Meatless Mondays Campaign, that make it easy for people to try plant foods. I believe such programs will continue to have success and that small changes have a way of building momentum and creating bigger changes.

MW: Our culture is slowly embracing the impact of its consumption habits. And in the past, the small town co-op and farmers market were once the only haven for people wishing to make conscious decisions about the foods they consume. Today, we have grocery chains like Whole Foods; we also now have sections of our typical grocery stores which offer consumers a choice. Do you feel like the culture is changing? That we’re moving in a new direction?

Baur: Yes, thankfully! People are taking more interest in where their food comes from. They’re asking questions and voting with their dollars based on the answers, forcing companies to make positive changes. Farmers markets, community supported agriculture programs (CSAs), community gardens, and other food systems that connect producers more closely with consumers are flourishing. I believe we are in the midst of a burgeoning food movement. We are moving in a new direction because, once people learn about the cruelties and consequences of industrial animal farming, they want to take steps toward a different food system grounded in compassion, health and sustainability.

Hullabalooza @ Wolf Pen

T

by Ike Ntube

This weekend isn’t your usual football weekend; it certainly isn’t your usual entertainment weekend either. What makes this football game special is that it’s the annual Maroon Out game against the SEC powerhouse and rival LSU. But the night before the game, there is Hullabalooza—a huge music festival with an impressive lineup to perform outdoors at Wolf Pen Creek Amphitheater The lineup for this year’s event includes Rusko, Chiddy Bang, AWOLNATION, Curren$y, Paul Wall, and Devin the Dude. The sounds filling in the gaps will be from DJ Get Low and DJ Matt Murrdock. There will also be go-go dancing by the Aggie Dolls.

Rusko is a dubstep DJ/producer who marvels in the realm of manipulated digital sound. He delivers a high-energy show and he is closely affiliated with fellow DJ/producer Caspa, who he performs with on occasion. He has seen the most success through his track “Cockney Thug”, and he’s been growing in popularity through various performances, remixes, and collaborations.

Chiddy Bang is a rap duo composed of Chiddy, who makes beats, and Xaphoon Jones, who raps words all over them. The duo is known for being masters of samples and they received the most notoriety from their sample of MGMT’s “Kids” in their song “Opposite of Adults.” They’ve also sampled other artists such as Ellie Goulding, Sufjan Stevens, and Passion Pit. The duo has recently toured with Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller, and their debut album, Breakfast, came out earlier this year.

AWOLNATION centers around front-man Aaron Bruno who has a sound that never really fit in with other bands he played with in his musical past. And that’s a good thing. The band

LISTEN pg 12 | maroonweekly.com | 10.17.12

blends genres, fusing live instrumentation, electro, and some solid production, which that has taken the nation by storm. AWOLNATION’s most well-known song is “Sail”, which has received constant radio play.

Curren$y is a New Orleans rapper that has bounced around labels since 2002; it actually took until 2009 to release his first album. Curren$y is prolific though, having a plethora of mixtapes and 8 albums. His most recent album, The Stoned Immaculate, has elevated his career lately, and his performance Friday night will be his second in Aggieland in the past year.

Paul Wall is a fixture of the Texas Rap scene, and his distinct sound (slowed down beats, repeated lyrics, and heavy bass) along with his shiny grill (diamond encrusted) have made him an icon in the Lone Star. Wall saw his greatest success when his first album, The Peoples Champ, debuted at number one the Billboard 200. The album also released multiple singles on radio. Wall released a mix tape this year titled No Sleep To Houston.

Devin the Dude is a rapper who has been around for a long time, a king of the underground.

He’s been rapping since ‘92 and been a part of multiple rap collectives and duos. He is best known for his unique rapping style, his long career signed to Rap-A-Lot Records, and his 2002 hit “Lacville ‘79.”

The Sammus Theory @ Grand Stafford Theater

T

by Luke Murray

Three things we can say about the desert: it’s hot, it’s dry, and it’s produced an intriguing rock talent called The Sammus Theory.

A lot of musical acts have funny stories of how they got together. A lot of them will tell you that they have been friends for years and decided to pick up their instruments and play one day; and others will tell you that the entire thing was nothing more than a fluke. In the case of The Sammus Theory, they used the resources they had available: Craigslist and MySpace.

“You know, [we had to] put out ads and everything, find people, and got a response from three more people who aren’t in the band anymore,” said front-man Sam Hughes, a.k.a. “Sammus,” in an interview with PureGrainAudio.com. “It’s been swapping members and things to get to where we are today” The band is now composed of five members. They’ve been on the road relentlessly for nearly 5 years and they are currently on their Apocalyptic Takeover Tour. In the past, they’ve shared the stage with Shinedown, Seether, Disturbed, and Three Days Grace.

They have also been featured on MTV2 with a video that aired consistently nationwide. Their second record, Trusting the Liar, was released last summer and has remained popular on iTunes along with their debut album.

What is it that garners up success for a young rock act? Taking the stage like a group of hardened veterans with a demeanor of control and experience. The Sammus Theory does just that, along with possessing the skill to completely captivate their audiences with a real and unrestrained presence.

Their Apocalyptic Takeover Tour will make its way to Grand Stafford Theater in Downtown Bryan on October 21. Along with them will be Cage 9, another whiplash inducing rock band. Tickets are available at GrandStaffordTheater.com

Texas A&M Meet the Aggies

The Aggies are coming off of two VERY emotional wins in the last two weeks. After heading to Oxford and overcoming a six-turnover performance to squeak out a win, the Aggies were back on the road heading to Shreveport for a Top-25 matchup with La-Tech. It was another heart attack waiting to happen for Aggie fans. But the Aggies were victorious.

Now the Aggies face their toughest test so far. QB Manziel is starting to create some Heisman buzz around the country. But he is going to need more than buzz to lead this team to a victory against the #6 LSU Tigers.

WR - Mike Evans

The Aggies need to cut down on their penalties, and find a way to tackle the ball carrier the first time they make contact. If they can manage these two things, you can look for this to be a tight, well matched game.

LB - Jonathan Stewart

Photos courtesy of Aggie Athletics

The LSU defense is no joke. Manziel will need to show poise, but a little Johnny Football magic won’t hurt either.

Texas A&M’s wide receiver Mike Evans (Galveston, TX) is a young player on the rise in the Aggies’ new offense.

You are able to see Evans talent through his speed, hands, and physicality, pushing defenders aside to break tackles. The freshman receiver has led the Aggies in catches in every game and continues to grow. In high school, Evans earned second-team District 24-4A honors after making 25 receptions for 648 yards and 7 TDs as a senior at Galveston Ball.

LSU Meet the Tigers

LSU is coming in to Kyle Field for the first time since 1995. They have a long history with Texas A&M. But the only recent histroy is a Cotton Bowl thumping the Tigers placed on the Aggies just a few years ago.

Rolling in to Aggieland fresh off an emotional victory over then ranked #3 South Carolina, LSU is looking to solidify its position amidst the top teams in the SEC. Can the Tigers put it all together and walk out with a win? That is yet to be seen.

Les Miles is a master at his craft. But there is a reason he is most affectionately known as the Mad-Hatter. You can bet he will have his team ready to go.

G - La’el Collins

LSU’s sophomore offensive guard La’el Collins (Baton Rough, La.) is a tremendous prospect with outstanding size and quickness. Collins is a versatile offensive lineman who can play outside at tackle or inside at guard.

He is definitely on his way to becoming a dominant lineman. In Collins freshman season, he played 46 snaps on the offensive line and posted five knockdown blocks.

The key for LSU will be slowing down Johnny Manziel. Manziel is flashy. But he is also deadly. He holds the All-Time SEC record for total offensive yards in a single game. A record he took from nonother than Archie Manning. If LSU can contain Manziel it will be a long day for the Aggies.

Guitar Heroes @ Texas A&M Guitar Festival & Competition

by Sarah Dean

T

The second biennial Texas A&M Guitar Festival & Competition is a time for guitar lovers and guitar masters to worship the ax in solidarity. The Guitar Festival is a three-day event packed with competitions, concerts, and master classes taught by some of the world’s most talented musicians. Spread out over October 24th, 25th, and 26th, the festival is giving attendees the opportunity to sink their picks into an experience unlike any other.

During the evenings, the Grammy award winning Los Angeles Guitar Quartet Concert (co-sponsored by Friends of Chamber Music), the Texas Guitar Quartet, and Grisha Goryachev & Jorge Caballero will perform special concerts all held in Rudder Theater.

The festival also includes masterclasses which are completely free to audit as well as an exciting guitar competition.

Russian flamenco and classical guitarist Grisha Goryachev, known for his superb technique and sensual understanding of Spanish music, is just one of many talented teachers conducting the multiple masterclasses. Joining Goryachev is internationally renown Andrew Zohn.

Besides Zohn’s scholarly accomplishments in music, the classical guitarist has had his hand in composing, performing and instructing. Austin-based classical guitarist Chad Ibison and former first place winner of the 2010 A&M Guitar Symposium returns to impart his wisdom.

Matt Hinsley (a tenor and classical guitarist), Jorge Caballero (the youngest musician and the only guitarist to win the Naumburg International Competition Award), and Alejandro Montiel (described by Soundboard Magazine as a “flawless musician, filled to the brim with polished technique”) are all set scheduled to teach. Last but certainly not least is Jonathan Dotson.

Dotson is currently pursuing a master’s degree in classical guitar performance from UT while maintaining an ever-growing guitar studio at the Leander School of Music.

pg 22 22 || maroonweekly.com maroonweekly.com || 10.17.12 10.17.12 pg

The rivalry is fierce during the Festival’s competition. With exciting prizes, stakes are high. The competition has three rounds each happening in Rudder Theater. The first preliminary round will be held at 10:00am on October 24 while the semi-finals will be held on October 25 at 10:00am. The final round will take place at 4:00pm on October 26. The first round’s program will consist of competitors performing two contrasting works. Those who are still standing will move on to the semi-finals and will have the option to choose whatever piece they’d like, provided that it doesn’t exceed the 15-minute time limit. The final round features the most talented of musicians. They will again be able to choose whatever piece they’d like as long as it doesn’t exceed the 25-minute time limit.

Prizes are awarded to the top 4 competitors. The most valued first prize consists of $1500, paid concert engagements at Sam Houston State and Lone Star Community College, and a return to the 2014 edition of the Texas A&M International Guitar Symposium and a one-week residency with the Austin Classical Guitar Society.

The benefit dinner and auction is the core fundraiser for Healing Faith, and funds raised will be instrumental in sustaining this vital ministry in Uganda.

The evening’s festivities will include dinner, live music, and a live and silent auction with items ranging from a raccoon hunt to exclusive date night packages with overnight accommodations.

Tickets are $35 and may be purchased online at http://healingfaith2012.eventbrite.com.

Auction items and monetary donations are also welcome from the community, and interested donors should contact info@healingfaithuganda.org.

Argo is the first serious Oscar contender in years that doesn’t make me want to submit to torture. It’s a sort of caper film in which the CIA tries to produce a fake movie as a ruse to smuggle six escaped American embassy workers out of Iran during a hostage crisis. It’s funny, exciting, and so tense my friend kept squeezing my arm through the final act. In other words, it’s great Oscar fluff, shallow and schematic and still emotionally overwhelming.

Even better, Argo proves once and for all that Ben Affleck makes a better director than an actor. Unfortunately, he does both in his third film as director, playing a CIA extraction expert named Antonio Mendez in the funniest case of white-washing since Franklin got bleached on Arrested Development. I don’t know where Affleck got his terminal case of self-seriousness, since his performances under Kevin Smith, Gus Van Sant, and even Michael Bay are comic. But somewhere along the way, he decided you couldn’t be a

Argo

great artist unless you proved the depths of your soul by grimacing into a mirror at least once per film.

Argo finally breaks free of the adolescent moodiness that sinks his otherwise muscular crime pulp, such as Gone Baby Gone and The Town. But Affleck’s performance is still stuck in that teenager’s diary, all stone faces and light rasp.

Fortunately, everyone else in this enormous ensemble is bursting with life, from Emmy stars Kyle Chandler and Bryan Cranston at Langley, to character actors Tate Donovan and Victor Garber in Tehran, to the one-two punch of John Goodman and Alan Arkin in Hollywood.

Everything directly related to the hostage crisis is textbook historical thriller, as seen through liberal internationalism.

But the Hollywood half is full of imagination and venality and life. It’s so much fun to watch Goodman’s make-up artist on the set of some nearly softcore C-picture or Arkin’s

foul-mouthed producer running around town like he owns it that it’s a shame the Hollywood stuff is just one part of a sprawling story.

Ultimately, Argo is perfectly happy being a shallow thriller. It’s not about geopolitical forces colliding. It’s about how to get people out of a country. It could just as well have been East Berlin or Mogadishu or Cambodia. But Affleck doesn’t slough his responsibilities to history, peppering the film with brief discussions about, say, the difference between terrorists and revolutionaries or the long tail of superpower intervention.

Affleck acknowledges it’s a complicated situation. He just really wants to focus on the cool part.

in Austin, but after There Will Be Blood, anticipation for the new film is off the charts.

Full review next week.

Right on schedule, every nine months, Liam Neeson pops out a new action thriller, each more serious than the last. Turns out this frustrating wannabe is the runt of the litter.

More wolves, please!

2 Argo

16 The Dark Knight Rises

Nolan’s not a director. He’s a tinker: Mascot characterizations, Rube Goldberg emotions, lifeless cityscapes, conveyor-belt music, bumpersticker politics, and guillotine editing welded into a steel hunk. I’ve never rooted harder for the bad guys.

1/2

Ben Affleck the actor glowers to show how serious this is while Ben Affleck the director lets loose on his best movie yet. The Iran hostage crisis has never been so fun.

3 Sinister

This found-footage film about a family uncovering the mystery of a demon haunting their house may sound like every other horror film this year, but at least this one has James Ransone?

4 Hotel Transylvania

1/2

If I’ve learned anything from the box office the past few years, it’s that kids entertainment is where the money’s at. Parents will see anything.

Word to the wise: Stick with ParaNorman and Frankenweenie.

5 Here Comes the Boom

1/2

Hilariously bad title aside, this movie about a biology teacher who goes into MMA to raise money for his school is just preposterous. I mean, Kevin James as a biology teacher?

6 Pitch Perfect

Okay, so it’s no Bring It On, but we all have our weaknesses. Turns out Anna Kendrick getting in a cappella street battles over bad ‘90s pop is one of mine.

7 Frakenweenie

Tim Burton goes so far back to storytelling basics that he winds up teaching a lesson about the importance of science. The simple story of a boy and his dog has its moments, but it’s nothing compared to ParaNorman.

1/2

17 Brave

8 Looper

Time-travel gem Looper has so much fun with narrative and mashing up sci-fi, western, and crime thriller genres. One thing’s for sure: It’s worth the ticket price. Maybe twice.

9 Seven Psycopaths

1/2

Colin Farrell gets sucked into the hilarious L.A. crime scene when his friends kidnap a mobster’s dog. Whatever its flaws, the director of In Bruges, an all-star cast, and a Shih Tzu? Comedy gold.

10 The Perks of Being a

12 Atlas Shrugged pt 2 1/2

Recasting only fixes so much. The least these sub-Youtube movies could do is make their propaganda entertaining. Part 1 only made back a quarter of its budget. How’s that for the free market deciding?

13 Trouble with the Curve

Well, talking to a chair isn’t the most embarrassing thing Clint Eastwood’s done this month. The legendary star turned revisionist director has earned some leeway, but it’s never too late to retire.

Wallflower

14 House at the End of the

11 End of Watch

Brace yourself: It’s Halloween season, heralded by another parade of jump scares.

At least this one stars an actress instead of a starlet. Jennifer Lawrence makes boring horror slightly less boring horror. That’s talent!

A freshman outcast falls in with two seniors in Stephen Chbosky’s adaptation of his own novel. It’s pretty, it’s witty, it’s gay. But mostly it’s a chance to see Emma Watson spread her wings post-Hermione.

1/2

Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena play rookie cops who suddenly become cartel targets in this Cops-style found-footage flick. Unfortunately, even the movie feels rookie-made, but at least it has Anna Kendrick.

Street

15 The Master

1/2

Paul Thomas Anderson’s new movie hasn’t reached beyond a surprise 70mm screening

1/2

Another magical Pixar fable about a rebellious girl and her worried mother set in the mysterious Scottish highlands. I’d say to wake me when Pixar stumbles, but Cars 2 was just last year.

18 Finding Nemo 3D

One of Pixar’s most enormous pictures, a funny, scary, sad, mysterious, heartwarming adventure across the Australian coast. But “Partysaurus Rex,” the delightful new Pixar short, might be worth the ticket price on its own.

19 Arbitrage

1/2

A recycled finance procedural about a Bernie Madoff type redeemed—barely—by its acting. I wonder how scummy Richard Gere could have been if he weren’t always artfully framed against light refracting through glass.

20 Searching for the Sugar Man

1/2

In this singular documentary, two South African fans go looking for the singer-songwriter Rodriguez, who made a strong record in 1969 and then disappeared among suicide rumors, and find a number of intriguing mysteries instead.

MSC OPAS Presents:

Martha Graham Dance Company

by Sarah Dean

W

Whitman may have sung the body electric, but Martha Graham danced it. She mesmerized audiences throughout the globe, and her name still resonates in the world of dance. With the graceful fluidity of modern dance, Graham was able to express raw and real emotions. The Martha Graham Dance Company is the oldest dance company in America and will ignite the OPAS stage during the 2012-2013 season, performing October 23rd at 7:30pm.

The show will feature one of Martha Graham’s most beloved masterpieces, Appalachian Spring (joined by The Brazos Valley Symphony Orchestra).

Originally scored by Pulitzer Prize winner Aaron Copland on Graham’s commission, Graham turned his shaker tunes from old Americana into a modern dance revival. It is the story of a spring celebration of American pioneers of the 19th century, but it is told through fluid movements of strength, passion, and humility. Of Appalachian Spring, Graham once said it is “a testimony to the simple fineness of the human spirit.”

Graham – often revered as the Great American Dancer – has fingerprints all over the world of dance. She may no longer be a part of this world but her spirit remains, and it is evident in the Martha Graham Dance Company. The athletic and talented artists hold fast to a new programming vision that displays Graham’s works of art, her contemporaries, and their successors along with new works by modern artists whose inspiration stems from Graham’s legacy.

A haven for experimentation, the Martha Graham Dance Company has been a resource of nourishment for numerous leading choreographers and dancers of the 20th and 21st centuries, including Paul Taylor, Pascal Rioult, Pearl Lang, Erick Hawkins, and Merce Cunningham. To this day, the company pursues its mission to increase presentations of the work of Graham and her contemporaries while bringing new perspectives to dance classics. The company abides

by Graham’s philosophy, and her spirit of ingenuity is carried on by the dancers. Graham’s avant-garde techniques and unequivocal style have brought the company accolades from audiences in more than 50 countries throughout Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America, and the Middle East. The company spawned a style of dance unique to America that has stimulated artists and still seduces audiences.

Interested in learning more about Martha Graham? Visit the Martha Graham Dance Company website at marthagraham.org. Tickets for the OPAS show are available at the MSC Box Office or online at OPAS’ website. Parking for the show will be available in the Koldus garage.
