Cody Canada and the Departed @ Grand Stafford Theater by Sarah

The words “extended hiatus” are often the final nail in a band’s musical coffin. If you mourned the death of Cross Canadian Ragweed when they went their separate ways in 2010, perhaps there was a cure for your CCR blues. From the ashes of Cross Canadian Ragweed, Cody Canada & The Departed was born. CCR’s front man wasted no time in moving forward. The Grand Stafford welcomes the boys on November 16th to celebrate the release of their debut album consisting of all originals, Adventus, marking Canada’s first full-length release in his new outfit. Cody Canada & The Departed’s new album is a “straight up rock record” with 14 tracks pulsing with emotionally charged lyrics. Crafting a record that would reflect the individuality of the band members, each member threw his own thoughts, phrases, verses, and riffs into the mix to carve out an album that is as much about camaraderie as it is about music. Dropping on November 13, the men of Cody Canada & The Departed are strutting across Texas to demonstrate their hard work.

LISTEN pg 4 | maroonweekly.com | 11.14.12

This Is Indian Land – the guys’ first album – was “a 15-track ‘buffet of really kick-ass Okie songs,’” stated Canada. Something he had wanted to do for years, the record featured covers of songs written by Oklahoma songwriters. A year and a half after merging together, Cody Canada & The Departed are ready to define themselves within the roughneck industry. They’ve sculpted their sound, and the time in between records allowed them to, according to Canada, “let the new stuff percolate.” Showcasing the musicianship of every uniquely talented member of Cody Canada & The Departed, the new stuff is a raging concoction of red dirt, alternative country, and Southern rock. The recently released track “Worth The Fight”, with its steady, powerful drum beats, rocking guitar, and sultry, Southern-twanged vocals, shows us that Cody Canada is comfortable in his new digs. Joining the men of Cody Canada & The Departed is another group who understands change. From Texas High Life to Rosehill, Blake Myers and Mitch McBain joined forces to create

Dean

lyrical and harmonic music that tells colorful stories. Their newest album, Crooked Thoughts, was released merely weeks ago on October 30. “We have really grown into our strengths over the past couple years,” Blake Myers says. “Crooked Thoughts is a distinct reflection of our combined creative vision and we are very proud of this project.” Much like White Lines and Stars, the new album is packed tight with sharp harmony and the charisma of the country boys’ vocal styles. Poignant tracks such as “Playing for Pride”, “Shotgun Out of Town”, and “When The Flame Goes Out” represent the growth of the Rosehill men and prove this album is anything but a sophomore slump. Tickets for the Adventus CD release party are $12 in advance and $15 day of the show. Show is 18+.

Guns of Navarone @ Rudder Plaza

by Sarah Dean

Austin: the live music capital of the world. The streets are overflowing with talented artists spanning over hundreds of genres, and it can be rough finding a place in the limelight. For Austin-based band Guns of Navarone, they’re out to prove they’ve got what it takes to make their mark in the music scene. Having fashioned a balance between the alt-rock of Austin and the country of Texas, Guns of Navarone are heading to Rudder Plaza on November 15 for MSC Townhall’s Lunchbox Concert, ready to show off their blend of “country-grit with indie rock grammar.” As musicians band together and forge through the rigorous process of finding their sound, they look to artists of the past for inspiration. In 2009, when Guns of Navarone joined forces, they were influenced by artists such as Wilco, Lucero, Uncle Tupelo, Whiskeytown, Old 97s, The Jayhawks, and Bob Dylan. Narrowing their sound, Guns specifically took cues from the forerunners of alternative rock, The Replacements, as well as the man who essentially married the genres of country and rock, Gram Parsons. The birth of the band is explained in the simplest of terms: “I met him, we met them, and all of a sudden we were singin’ songs and lookin’ at each other in a really small room. We’re searching for bigger rooms.” A bigger room they found. With their punk energy and a rich Southern vibe, Guns of Navarone were privileged to be selected as a showcasing band at Austin’s premiere music festival, SXSW. But the folks behind SXSW aren’t the only ones who have noticed their talent. Austin’s The Good Music Club – a monthly, live-video performance – features some of the best local bands, and Guns of Navarone were able to be a part of it. The Good Music Club praised Guns’ sound from their 2011 album, Prize and Battlefield—calling their blend of folk and country “not simply roots music” but “a little more raw, almost like a mix of Southern rock, pop and punk.” Combining the traditional Southern sound of banjo picking and the smooth country voice of lead singer Cory Reinisch, the band backs it up with rhythmic bass, jagged guitar leads, and deep drum backbeats for a melange of amped-up Americana rock.

Pat Green @ Hurricane Harry’s

Searching for your identity can too often be more difficult than it needs to be. When you’re the eighth out of nine children, the task becomes even more daunting. Such was the case for Texasbred talent Pat Green. Green was born in San Antonio but was raised just up the road in Waco. Being one of the younger siblings in his family, he set out to carve his own path of self-prominence. As a youngbuck of only 18 years old, Green picked up a guitar with the intent of trying to impress the ladies. As a student at Texas Tech, he began to mold his own charisma into unique vocals. “Before that, I only sang in the shower,” says Green. “I could mimic other people’s voices. It took me a long time to find my own voice, but once I did, I became very comfortable with it. It’s not real pretty but it’s believable.” He went from paying his dues in local venues to releasing his first independent record in 1995. He was asked to play at a public function with a lot of people in attendance and caught their attention. “I don’t know exactly where it began, if it was Willie Nelson’s picnic or one of Jerry Jeff [Walker’s] shows, but I got asked to play and there was a huge crowd there,” Green says. “After that show, we started getting some radio support. All of a sudden, everything started happening at once. We were selling a ton of records.” After experiencing so much critical acclaim with albums like 2003’s Wave On Wave (which debuted at number 2 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart, the title track broke into the Top 5 on the singles chart), you would think that Pat Green knew exactly what direction he was headed.

by Luke

Murray

On the contrary, he struggled with finding himself as an artist. In the end, Green would always choose to be genuine rather than be something he’s not. “I’d much rather be me and comfortable in my own skin than trying to be five different guys to get to the top,” Green says. Green’s vision as an artist is focused more on the quality of music rather than promoting himself as a songwriter. As gifted of a songwriter as he is, sometimes going outside of the usual repertoire helps to broaden your perception as an artist. “If you listen to my young music or anybody’s young music, it’s all over the place,” Green says. “It sounds like that because the thoughts are all over the place. You were sleeping on a mattresses on the floor; the TV was on a cinderblock – that’s all cool. That’s all we needed, then. Now, I’ve grown up a bit. As my life has evolved, my taste for music continues to evolve with it.” His current album, Songs We Wish We’d Written II, the sequel to Written I, is full of tracks written by classic country and rock artists. From Lyle Lovett to Tom Petty, the album encompasses a range of country, rock, and blues tracks that Green and his crew were passionate about. Green will be performing at Hurricane Harry’s on November 16. Rob Baird and Hudson Moore will open the show. Tickets are available at harrys.bcsclubs.com.

Billy Joe Shaver @ Grand Stafford

For all intents and purposes, at its heart, country music is blues and twang. At their roots, most of the old honky-tonk songs are written with tears on the page. Billy Joe Shaver’s father was a drinking man with a temper that Shaver attributes to his father’s heritage. The man took Shaver’s mother out by an old watering trough on a dark country road and beat her within an inch of her life just a mere two weeks before Billy Joe was born. Shaver’s mother made it through the tragedy and he grew up to tell the world his circumstance. “It’s truly a miracle I survived that night by that stock tank, and I don’t mean that the way most people say it—like it’s a lucky break,” said Shaver. “I think God allowed me to live. He wanted me to tell my story.” As he grew older, the misfortunes of life proved they were not yet finished. From personal injury, addiction, and loss of family, life always found a way to kick Shaver when he was down. “I’ve lost parts of three fingers, broke my back, suffered a heart attack and a quadruple bypass, had a steel plate put in my neck and 136 stitches in my head, fought drugs and booze, spent the

by Luke Murray

money I had, and buried my wife, son, and mother in the span of one year,” Shaver said. “But I’m not here to complain or ask for pity. Life is hard for everybody, just in different ways.” How does someone who has been down life’s darkest roads find any light in life? Shaver leans on people, particularly his fans. He has grown accustomed to them coming up to talk after his shows and confiding their own struggles to him. People will express that his music helped them get through a rough patch or possibly helped them smile when they had lost hope. “Sometimes they say I inspired them—that if I can make it through my life, they can [very well] get through theirs,” said Shaver. “When we’re done talking, I give them a hug and tell them I love them. I know exactly where they are coming from.” Billy Joe Shaver will be performing his songs of life and struggle at Grand Stafford Theater on November 17. The Black Lillies will open the show and tickets are available at grandstaffordtheater.com.

TAMU Artists Presents Fusion @ Downtown Uncorked by Ike Ntube

If you enjoy acoustic, folk, and indie music and haven’t had a chance to check out the Downtown Bryan music scene, then you are robbing yourself of an opportunity for some great local talent. Downtown Uncorked, a popular wine bar downtown, is hosting an event this Friday that can not only introduce you to Bryan's music scene but also allow you to help a great cause. TAMU ARTISTS is hosting their biannual event, Fusion, which fuses live music, art, and a good cause. The event is from 7pm to 11pm and free to the public. Additionally, there will be a place to donate or buy art, with proceeds going to Twin City Mission. There will be 12 performers, including some local downtown talent such as Will Boesl, Daniel Gonzales, and the duo Fox & Fair. The artwork for sale will feature paintings and drawings and photographic prints that can be used to jazz up your living/work space in a unique way. Fusion, as an event, began in 2010 when a Texas A&M student sought to bring together the B/ CS community to enjoy music, art, and coffee while supporting an important local non-profit organization. The event happens every semester, but this year’s venue is what sets it apart. The event usually takes place at Mugwalls, but ARTISTS executive Emily Smith says, “Downtown Uncorked is a beautiful space and its location in Downtown Bryan will bring a more diverse crowd to enjoy our live music and art sale.” ARTISTS is more of a community on campus rather than an organization. It’s a community of creative students that seek to worship God through relationships, integrity, worship, diversity and creativity.

Whether you are or aren’t family with the downtown music scene, the Fusion benefit is a chance to see some local talent in a chill setting. For more information on Fusion and ARTISTS, visit tamuartists.wix.com/artists.

Carolann Ames @ The Village Café by Chris Zebo

Texas-born, California-based singer-songwriter Carolann Ames released her latest album, Laurel Canyon Road, in January of this year. The album features a rich selection of Americana songs smoked in country woods, a record with its feet planted firmly in Lone Star soil yet with West Coast whimsy. Her songs of life living on the road as a performer, of broken romance and newfound love, are delivered tenderly and sincerely with a voice renown for its subtle power and charm. Ames will be performing at the Village Cafe in Downtown Bryan 9pm on Thursday, November 15. Free admission.

Texas A&M Meet the Aggies

It would be difficult to find a more intriguing story right now in college football. Texas A&M just walked in to the defending national champions home and punked them on the field to take the win and shock the world. In the process they catapulted Johnny Football even more into the spotlight where he is garnering more than a little Heisman love. That is great. Everybody loves a winner. But it only takes four quarters for everything to change. There is a reason Aggie Head Coach Kevin Sumlin stresses a 24-hour rule. Celebrate for 24 hours and then it is on to the next opponent. It doesn’t matter who that opponent is.

WR - Ryan Swope

The Aggies better keep their focus with a potential BCS Bowl on the line and a 10-2 regular season record. Spencer Nealy is still riding the high from Alabama. But he had this to say, “It’s onto Sam Houston, I guess that’s the socially acceptable thing to say.”

Sam Houston is no slouch. They played for the FCS National Championship last year. You can bet they will come to Kyle Field looking to slay their own giants this Saturday. Texas A&M senior, Ryan Swope (Austin, Texas), is the Aggies new all-time leading receiver following his 11 catches for 111 yards against Alabama this season. Swope has a career total of 236 catches, which broke teammates Jeff Fuller’s impressive record of 233. Swope posted the greatest receiving season in school history with 89 catches for 1,207 yards. He earned second-team All-Big 12 honors and also grabbed 11 touchdowns in catches.

After being thrown into the starter’s role at defensive end when Jonathan Mathis went down with an injury in the 2011 season, Nealy has made a name for himself. Nealy earned honorable mention last season from AllBig 12 honors after making 45 tackles and leading the Aggie defensive line with 8 tackles for loss. He posted 1.5 QB sacks, batted down a pass, and forced a fumble.

Sam Houston Meet the Bearkats

Sam Houston is not a team to sleep on. They played in the FCS National Championship game last year. They know how to win games. Sure they may be overmatched at just about every position. But that is what is so beautiful about the game of football. As the Aggies proved last weekend in Tuscaloosa, any team can win on any day. It is no different for the Bearkats. The Bearkats defeated Northwestern State 56-17 to clinch their second consecutive Southland Conference football championship last Saturday. Sam Houston has posted seven consecutive victories, out-scoring opponents 365 to 83 in the process.

QB - Brian Bell

They come in to Kyle Field with an 8-2 record and 18 straight weeks in the FCS Top 10. They have won seven straight games coming in to Saturday. They have scored at least 41 points in each of those games including a 70-0 thumping of SE Louisiana.

LB - Darius Taylor

I wouldn’t expect an upset here for the Bearkats. But you can never be too cautious. SHSU junior quarterback, Brian Bell (China Spring), has directed the Bearkats to 19 victories in 23 starts during the past two seasons. This season, Bell ranks No. 11 in SHSU career passing yards (3,450), No. 7 in career TD passes (27) and No. 9 in career total offense yards (3,985). In the 2011 season, Bell ranked No. 2 in league and No. 10 nationally in pass efficiency (151.8). Bell stood No. 7 in Southland in total offense (166.8) and passing yards (147.8).

Last season, Taylor was named honorable mention by the All-Southland Conference and was third on team with 83 tackles including nine for losses.

When Life Gives You Grapes

by Luke Murray

Perrine Winery opened its doors for business in College Station last Thanksgiving. During their first year, owners Rick and Beth Leopold enjoyed much success in their craft. The Leopold’s have won awards for various wines from each of their four series. They’ve received two separate Double-Gold awards for wines they entered in Californian competitions, and they’ve taken 18 medals overall in five different competitions. Owner Rick Leopold explained that each competition represented a different demographic that was able to showcase how their wines would be perceived by a variety of different customers. For example, the “International Women’s Wine Competition” was only judged by women whereas the “NextGen Wine Competition” was judged by a younger panel of judges. Both panels of judges represent a significant part of Perrine Winery’s customer demographic. Rick and Beth envisioned the concept for a micro-winery in Aggieland a few years ago and approached the idea with optimism. The model they perceived is much more efficient and economical than running a full-scale vineyard, not to mention the range of possibilities that were afforded to them. Vineyard owners have more restrictions as to what types of wine they can make because they have to grow their own grapes. They also have to worry about weather and crop yield. A micro-winery avoids these headaches by buying juice directly from different vineyards at various locales. “Somewhere in the world, every year is a good year for growing grapes,” said Rick Leopold. By purchasing different juices from around the world, Perrine Winery is able to produce a wider range of wines. Perrine

Winery gets its American grapes from vineyards in California and Washington, and its international flavors come from France, South Africa, Chile, and Argentina. The different climates, soils, and growing seasons help to produce different flavors of grapes that translate into different flavors of wine. When the wine is mixed in its tank, it takes one to two weeks to ferment, and then it goes through a series of stabilization, clarification, and filtering processes before finally being bottled.

Join us for

a night out.

Enjoy us for a night in.

The Leopold’s have their wines broken down into four different series; their Perrine series consists of most of their California grown flavors, the Brazos Breeze series is semi-sweet with a lot of fruit infusion, the Vin de Maison is their series of house wines that are more on the lighter side, and their Huguenot series is their premium and dessert wines. Perrine Winery offers more than an enticing variety of wine to their customers. Their facility provides a welcoming atmosphere to their guests, along with events such as live music, craft sessions, local art displays, and De-Stress Wednesdays held on the second Wednesday of every month. De-Stress Wednesday combines wine and a professional massage from therapists who come in for the event. In addition, customers have the option of making and bottling their own batch of wine, and each custom batch yields 30 bottles.

Christmas Mile @ Santa’s Wonderland

By participating in the first ever Christmas Mile and 5K Fun Run, you get a chance to see the attraction before anyone else. The event starts at 5pm (late packets can be picked up between 3:30pm and 4:45pm) and ends before the Wonderland opens to the public at 7pm. Not only do you get to see over 2 million lights before everyone else but there are also some extra incentives to take advantage of after you’re done. With your race fee, you receive a t-shirt for the event, free admission to Santa’s Town for you and your family (up to 4 people), and after-race refreshments with an opportunity to meet Marshall Frostbite. The Christmas Mile takes place entirely inside the lit trails of Santa’s Wonderland and will officially start just after dark and ends at Santa’s Town. The 5K Fun Run starts a little bit earlier than the Christmas Mile (at twilight) by the parking lot of the Jockey Lot Flea Market on the east side of Highway 6. The route takes runners north on the feeder road and over Highway 6 to go south toward Wonderland. The last mile of the run will be the equivalent of the Christmas Mile and ends in the heart of Santa’s Town. Some requirements for running the event are that runners must walk or run during the entire race without stopping, the course closes at 7pm, and runners will not be allowed to re-enter the course after finishing. So get a jumpstart on the Christmas season by running a race that you don’t have to wake up early in the morning for while getting a chance to see Santa’s Wonderland before anyone else gets to (afterall, who doesn’t love a sneak peak at presents?). A portion of proceeds from the event benefit Brazos Valley Food Bank, and a donation of a canned food item or one of the most needed items listed on the Food Bank’s website are encouraged. For more information on the Christmas Mile and 5K Fun Run, visit christmasmile.com.

The “twist” is that you can bring your favorite bottle of wine or beverage to enjoy during the class. Come alone or invite your friends. Paint, canvas, and brushes are provided. At the end of the evening, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind creation and a newfound talent you might want to pursue. 7:00pm— Painting with a Twist—1643 Texas Avenue South, College Station-$35.

by Ike Ntube

As the days get cooler (maybe—we ARE in Texas) and December grows closer, seasonal sights and sounds are already making an appearance.

Ag Breakfest @ Brazos County Expo Center

by Sarah Dean

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and there is more than enough to be grateful for: families, friends, the Aggies defeating Alabama and, of course, the tasty food. But before you lift that fork and fill your mouth with a huge bite of Aunt Susie’s homemade pumpkin pie, you might want to ask yourself: where did this food come from? It comes from the farmers whose lives are consumed with what we consume. Local food production is an integral part of our society, and the chance to honor those involved is arriving on November 20th when the Brazos County Expo hosts their annual Ag Breakfast. Here in the Brazos Valley, tribute is paid to the men and women who cultivate and harvest the food we put into our bodies. The Ag Breakfast is hosted by the Bryan/College Station Chamber of Commerce. The breakfast highlights the foods produced and/or grown in the Brazos Valley. As if supplying all the delicious food isn’t enough, the agriculture business reps, ranchers and farmers also prepare and serve it to hungry visitors. Those in attendance are able to see who works so hard behind the scenes to provide local sources of food. The BCS Chamber of Commerce’s Agribusiness Council has a mission to “promote agribusiness and educate our membership on the importance of local agribusiness.” The promotion is a necessary objective because many people have no idea which businesses and industries are a part of the food and fiber system. The system – in its entirety – includes all economic activities connected to agricultural production, such as machinery repair, fertilizer production, food processing and manufacturing, transportation, wholesale and retail distribution of products, and eating establishments. All breakfast foods will be provided by local growers and suppliers. The contributing sponsors include What’s the Buzz Coffee, The Land and Livestock Post (The Eagle), Readfield Meats, Slovacek Sausage, Brazos Valley Livestock Commission, Feather Crest Farms and – last but certainly not least – the numerous farmers who wake long before the sun rises to assist in cooking for the Ag Breakfast. The breakfast is from 7:00am to 8:00am. The cost is $15. To RSVP, visit bcschamber.org, call (979) 260-5200, or email linda@bcschamber.org.

Freudian Slip @ Rudder Theater

by Sarah Dean

By now, an echo of sniffles and muffled coughs has filled your classroom or office: the dastardly flu season is here. And what’s the best cure for the flu? Medicine? Wrong. Everyone knows that laughter is the best medicine. For a dose of the giggles, improv group Freudian Slip presents a night of hilarity on November 17 at 7:00pm in Rudder Theater. For members of Texas A&M’s one and only improvisation group, Freudian Slip, being funny is serious business. Tickling funny bones since its founding in 1992, Freudian Slip, otherwise known as F-Slip, has been around for over 20 years, entertaining students and the Brazos Valley community. F-Slip has been making every effort to bring at least one show a month to the stage at A&M. After spending time performing with F-Slip, many members go on to pursue improve recreationally while a few are able to make a career out of it and move on to bigger theatre companies and improv troupes. From Del Close and Charna Halpern’s book, Truth in Comedy, “Improv is much closer to ping pong that it is to chess. Actors create an improv scene in the same spontaneous way.” In improv, it’s almost impossible to anticipate your “opponent’s” next move. You have to hit back whatever crazy serve they present to you. With only a smidgen of practice, the comedians of F-Slip venture onto the stage with little preparation, relying solely on their skills to force the audience into fits of laughter. Building upon the dynamics of the performance, each statement is waiting to be answered with a “Yes, and….” They have to think on their feet. With a heavily rehearsed performance, a show by F-Slip simply wouldn’t be the same F-Slip performs both short and long form improv, guaranteeing that no two shows will ever look the same. Six hours a week, members of F-Slip can be found working hard, fostering friendships and learning the complicated skill of comedic improvisation. Short form improv can be found in the popular show Who’s Line is it Anyway? while long-form is focused on many scenes which are linked together in some form or fashion. Perhaps, it is a plot-based story (made up on the spot, of course) or it could be a hodgepodge of improvised scenes focused on a specific topic or theme. It’s up to the performers to determine how they want to perform long-form improv; there’s no right way. Whether you’re performing short-form or long-form, the kicker is that no one – not even the actors themselves – knows what’s going to happen next. Interested in being a part of Freudian Slip? Auditions are held at the beginning of every semester and former improv experience is not a requirement. More information on the comedy troupe can be found on their Facebook page (facebook.com/freudianslipimprov) and on their website (freudianslip.tamu.edu).

TASTE TUTTI FRUTTI

Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt by Luke Murray

The Bryan-College Station area has an abundance of frozen yogurt locations, and they often seem to even outnumber Starbucks. How exactly does a customer choose which one to go to for the best overall experience? Tutti Frutti might be the new kid on the block in our neck of the woods, but they are one of the world’s largest frozen yogurt chains. Satisfying customers across the globe, the case can also be made that they aren’t just the biggest but one of the best as well.

another dimension to the froyo experience in Aggieland.

Tutti Frutti has over 600 locations worldwide, and the College Station location is on University Drive next to Golden Corral. Inside, you will find a very open and very clean atmosphere. Tutti Frutti offers free wifi and an abundance of table space, making it the perfect spot to grab a snack and hammer out a serious study session. They also have two big screen TVs and music playing, adding

“Once people try our yogurt, they don’t go back to the other stores,” says managing owner Chucky Maredia. “Our yogurt absolutely tastes better.”

pg 26 | maroonweekly.com | 11.14.12

Aside from the ambiance, what else does Tutti Frutti have for you? They have a constant selection of 16 flavors and 50+ flavors on rotation to go along with more than 50 fresh toppings, ranging from fresh fruits to animal crackers. Tutti Frutti is the only frozen yogurt location to offer soy bean yogurt along with their dairy items, a twist on the froyo model that’s as delicious as it is healthy.

Another quality that separates Tutti Frutti from the rest is that they are very customer oriented. Maredia mentioned that store is unique because they take customer requests.

“If we don’t have something that you want, tell us and it will be here the next time you come in,” Maredia says. Tutti Frutti also exhibits community involvement through their profit-sharing. Maredia expressed that the store is always willing to partake in a profit share for anything to help out the community. Tutti Frutti offers a text messaging incentive program.

Maybe you have to be a Bond-head; as a fair-weather fan of the British spy franchise, I can see why people are falling over one another to overpraise the latest installment, Skyfall. The Istanbul opening is better than the entirety of Taken 2, and it packs a meaner punch. Adele is still thrumming around my unconscious head as visions of villains in a sunken hall of mirrors excite my dreams. And the story zeroes in on the relationship between Bond and M, which is great, because Daniel Craig and Judi Dench are cinema’s hottest couple right now with the possible exception of Ben Affleck and himself. Between all those loving body shots and Dench’s deliciously withholding non-smiles, it’s hard to imagine having more fun at the movies. Skyfall even has a sense of humor. Although most of the jokes are dead on arrival, at least the franchise is trying again. Casino Royale rebooted the franchise in the Christopher Nolan vein, all dirty neutrals and grim faces, but Skyfall is a

pointed rebuke. Seriously, it sells everything The Dark Knight Rises couldn’t and then some. Skyfall also continues the slow ascent to Bond lore with not only a shaken-not-stirred martini but the gadget-master Q. Ben Whishaw is typically great in his thirty seconds in the role, but you can get six times the Whishaw for the same price at Cloud Atlas. The bigger problem is that Q represents an Internet-age tech savvy that Skyfall doesn’t really get. He announces his hacking like a Golden Age superhero, and it sounds like middle-aged Hollywood types re-purposing the ending of Jurassic Park. The other new addition is cinematographer Roger Deakins, the single biggest contributor to the success of Skyfall. Known for his work with the Coen Brothers and the annual Oscar nominations he loses, Deakins has a way with light and color that makes Scotland look like a Joseph Turner painting. Silhouettes are everywhere in Skyfall, because

the villain is a doppelganger of Bond, so there’s a Shanghai action sequence that’s just shadows against glass as a glowing jellyfish screensaver dances in the background. If ever a Bond movie visualized its drama, it’s in that Deakins representation of cyberbattle. The writers may not understand Internet crime, but the cinematographer absolutely does. Director Sam Mendes is so much better with action (Jarhead, Skyfall) than chamber drama (Away We Go, Revolutionary Road) that I hope he sticks with it, but Skyfall’s exciting setpieces start and stop like they’re on a timer. Worse, Skyfall pretends to defend modern espionage but doesn’t even mount an argument. It’s good globe-trotting fun, but such hype. What would M say?

Action | PG-13 |

toptwentyfilms by Brandon Nowalk

1 Skyfall

1/2

15 Lincoln

James Bond takes on a doppelganger with a vendetta in this exciting, gorgeous, and clunky re-do of The Dark Knight Rises. Good globetrotting fun, but such hype. What would M say?

2 Wreck it Ralph

Daniel Day-Lewis leads an all-star cast in the passage of the 13th amendment, using expediency, corruption, and lies. It isn’t pretty to watch the democratic sausage get made, but with Spielberg, it sure is tasty.

1/2

John C. Reilly takes a villain on a hero’s journey in this arcade version of Toy Story. More importantly, they made Sarah Silverman a Disney princess, and she tore the establishment down.

16 Alex Cross

Tyler Perry Presents Tyler Perry’s Alex Cross Starring Tyler Perry. Because Along Came A Spider and Kiss The Girls worked out so well, here’s another Alex Cross movie, this one featuring an emaciated Matthew Fox.

3 Flight

Denzel nails addiction, all inflated swagger and toddler pout, but director Robert Zemeckis is so cheesy he stuffs his film with Foghorn Leghorn accents and the VH1 top 100. The plane landing, though: Chills.

4 Argo

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.

5 Taken 2

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!

6 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?

7 Cloud Atlas

1/2

Tom Hanks and Halle Berry keep bumping into one another throughout history in this

17 Fun Size

time-skipping, gender-hopping, yellow-facing symphony. If only the filmmaking were as radical as the narrative.

8 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.

9 The Man with the Iron Fists

The RZA finally learns the lesson that so many directors have been discovering since 1992: It takes more than stylized action, poppy dialogue, and an East Asian fetish to be Quentin Tarantino.

10 Hotel Transylvania

12 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?

13 Silent Hill: Revalation 1/2

What don’t these characters understand about the refrain “Do not go to Silent Hill?” If you must go, however, there’s some small pleasure in seeing Ned Stark reunited with Jon Snow. Emphasis on “small.”

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.

you. If you’re going to see Paranormal Activity 4, you know exactly what you’re getting: some doors spontaneously shutting and maybe a scare or two.

At this point, complaining about boredom is on

14 The Perks of Being a Wallflower

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

Baby-sitting on Halloween takes a turn for the awesome when a girl’s little brother disappears in the crowd of trick-or-treaters. Hijinks ensue in Josh Schwartz’s latest cuddly, wannabe-edgy family celebration. Bonus points for Jane Levy.

18 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.

19 The Sessions

The twist on this period American Pie is that the hero was disabled (and kept virginal) by polio. Cue Helen Hunt, smartly launching her comeback with extra nudity. She really wants the Oscar.

20 Chasing Mavericks

Gerard Butler teaches a boy how to get his act together and surf and other boring life lessons against the season’s greatest screensaver: the monstrous, intoxicating, elemental waves off Monterey Bay.
