The Bright Light Social Hour @ Grand Stafford Theater

by Ike Ntube by Ike Ntube

Three bands growing in popularity are coming into the Grand Stafford Theater this Thursday night and they don’t have to travel too far from home (and can carpool) to do it. With two bands coming from Austin and one from The Woodlands, all three bands have been traveling down the same metaphorical road the past few years.

themselves a Christian band—they just used religious imagery in the past. QC was the first band to be signed by Grooveshark, signing to be part of their new Artist Development program in 2011. Since signing, the band has seen a big increase in number of plays and followers. Their most recent album is We Are All Where We Belong.

The Bright Light Social Hour is a group of quirky guys that can be described in one word: energy. It’s easy to see how any of their tracks would be a really fun time in concert, which is how they originally got exposure in their native Austin music scene. They merge southern rock, hard dance, psychedelic blues, and deep soul and throw the sounds into a blender for a vintage-yet-modern sound. The band isn’t afraid of trading solos between instruments, playing with harmonies, and using other languages in tracks just to have a good time. Their self-titled first album won six awards at the SXSW 2011 Austin Music Awards, including Band of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year.

Driver Friendly, also referred to as “Driver F,” hails from the king of all suburbias, The Woodlands. Something that makes them stand out from the average band is the distinct sound of a horns that mix with synths. These guys, similar to The Bright Light Social Hour, believe in putting on a show. Under their genre on Facebook, they’re listed as “Rock+stuff that isn’t+other stuff+things.” Their most recent album, Bury A Dream, includes a song tribute to Tom Hanks.

The only thing that’s quiet about Quiet Company is how quiet they have managed to stay for 7 years of existence. Taking a step back from the energy of TBLSH, they might not have the same type of in-your-face music, but they are just innovative and talented. The band was once signed by the Christian label Northern Records, but they do not consider

Joe Rice @ Perrine Winery

by Luke Murray

9.27 - THURSDAY

Two things that can really improve someone’s mood after a stressful week: wine and live music. Where can you find both on a Friday night in Bryan/College Station? Perrine Winery on Harvey Road. Perrine Winery, a micro-winery, operates under a uniquely customer-oriented principle. Being that they are a small and local business, owners Beth and Rick Leopold are able to offer excellent customer service. Not only do customers get excellent service upon entering the store, they can also partake in creating and bottling their own batch of wine. This bodes well with customers who want a special wine for a wedding or for other functions of gifts. But Perrine caters to avid wine drinkers.

Joined by Quiet Company and Driver Friendly, The Bright Light Social Hour will be performing @ Grand Stafford Theater on September 27. The Bright Light Social Hour play a potent mix of southern rock, hard dance, psychedelic blues, and deep soul. The band from Austin made a sweep of six awards at the SXSW Austin Music Awards in 2011, including Band of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year.

Godry Quist & Ed Jurdi @ Church St

Something new to Perrine Winery are free live music sessions a couple times a month on Friday nights. Combining live music, a relaxing atmosphere, and wine can take the edge off of a hectic week of work or school. This Friday night, they will be presenting singer/ songwriter Joe Rice. Rice, whose hometown is San Marcos but is currently based out of Austin, finds himself influenced by bands such as Dashboard Confessional, Coldplay, and Secondhand Serenade, just to name a few. Rice will perform acoustically on September 28 from 8pm to 10pm.

Two of The Band of Heathens’ frontmen perform @ Church Street BBQ on September 27. Come out and experience a bluesy southern-rock set from the band that has received accoldades by the New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, The Dallas Morning News.

Ray Wylie Hubbard @ Grand Stafford

“I’m not from Texas, but I got here as fast as I could” is a saying that singer/songwriter Ray Wylie Hubbard would stand by. Although he was born in Oklahoma, his family moved here in his youth, and he should thank them because it’s where he picked up his first guitar. Hubbard got his initial exposure as part of the outlaw country scene and he’s been a Texas country standard for the last three decades. He performs at the Grand Stafford Theater this Friday night. After honing his talents in the Lone Star State, Hubbard saw his first taste of success in New Mexico in the early 1970s, where he composed the song “Up Against the Wall, Redneck Mother” for Jerry Jeff Walker. The song was meant to poke fun at the redneck lifestyle. A couple of years later, his first album, Ray Wylie Hubbard & the Cowboy Twinkies, was released in 1975 by Warner Brothers, but it saw less than stellar numbers due to over-production. Through the rest of the seventies and the eighties, Hubbard didn’t see much commercial success. During this time period, he put out very few albums and just spent time touring for his small fan base. He had fallen into what he referred to as a “honky-tonk fog” in which he wasn’t the most inspired and was battling addiction. After sobering up and finding inspiration again, RWH released the album Lost Train of Thought in 1992 that proved to be the true launching pad of his career. The album released on his Misery Loves Co. label finds a dance hall sound with the steady Texas country back beat that blends country and blues into a kind of outlaw rock. The album compliments both his and his band’s sound and finds

itself not in a hurry to finish. At this point in his career, Hubbard’s addiction had clearly drifted from the bottle to his music. Through the past two decades, Ray Wylie Hubbard has continued to consistently put out albums every few years. But with his two most recent albums, he’s started to venture into different sounds as many musicians do once they’ve eclipsed themselves. In his 2011 release, A. Enlightenment B. Endarkenment (Hint: There is No C), he experiments with Mississippi Delta blues instrumentation and creates a raw but contemporary and crafted sound. At age 65, the man is still actively engaged in music and touring. Hubbard’s most recent album, The Grifter’s Hymnal, was released in March of this year. Through more experimentation, such as 5 tracks that don’t even have a bass track, you hear something is definitely different from Hubbard but you never forget it’s him. Also an outstanding feature of the album is a cover of Beatles drummer Ringo Starr’s song, “Coochy Coochy”, that even features the Ringo.

Red Jumpsuit Apparatus @ Hurricane Harry’s

by Sarah Dean

In the town of Middleburg, Florida, three childhood friends, sparking and popping with inspiration from their AP Music Theory course, hatched a plot to form a band. After riding the waves of fame and experiencing the ups and downs of the music industry, newly independent band The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus will perform at Hurricane Harry’s on October 2nd. The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus – officially formed in 2003 – received its name after the three aforementioned friends and a few talented musical buddies threw different words at a wall. The name stuck, and the boys got to work. With the help of Myspace and through the magic of social media, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus was able to advertise their music. Even with much popularity in their local scene, the band was searching for the support of a label. A 6-song EP was distributed in different cities during 2005 to promote the band. After taking 18 months to write a bouquet of songs, the band stepped away from the dim computer screens and into the “live” light. While performing more and more, the band’s fan base expanded dramatically. This increase attracted the attention of an impressed Jason Flom (Virgin Records). In 2005, the guys got to work on their debut album, and in 2006 the LP Don’t You Fake It – certified gold in November of 2006 by the RIAA – was released along with the singles “Face Down,” “False Pretense,” “Your Guardian Angel, and “Damn Regret.” In February of 2007, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus came on board as the headliners for the US Take Action Tour (a tour for the prevention of youth suicide).

Kevin Fowler “Here’s to Me and You” One of the best “just hang out with your buddies and share a cold beer” songs I’ve heard in a long time. Great new video too. Jake Owen “The One That Got Away” Remember the girl you dated that one summer? Yeah, I think we all do. Mine’s name was Jennifer. Ah, what coulda been…

Alan Jackson “You Go Your Way” Alan Jackson is country, period. This song handles an amicable break-up with some whiskey in a coffee cup. Yup, that’s how they all should be! Listen weekdays 3-7pm

The band has pinned down their sound and stuck with it. Citing influences by The Cure and Smashing Pumpkins, the group jumped into the emo scene of the 2000s by spawning post-hardcore music including brash screamo vocals (“Face Down”) and also soft harmonic numbers (the ballad “Your Guardian Angel.”) While major label support was important to the band at one time, in 2010 they decided to produce music independently. Independence was an option the boys had been considering for a long time, but it was the poor promotion of their second album, Lonely Road, that led to the final decision. Ronnie Winter – lead vocalist and the only remaining founding member of The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus – said in an interview with lazyrocker.com, “At this point we want to stay completely 100% independent for as long as possible.” With freedom from a major label in the foreseeable future, the guys were back to the drawing board. In June of 2010, they announced via their Myspace blog that their next EP’s first song was going to be released as a free download on June 28th. A big step, it was their first product after their departure from Virgin Records. The 12-song full length album Am I The Enemy was finally released in August of 2011. Further information on The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus can found on their website redjumpsuitalliance.ning.com

Hunter Hayes “Wanted” The complete opposite, this is not country music. He sounds like a Rascal Flatts wannabe. Sorry kid, go to another genre.

Whiskey Myers @ Hurricane Harry’s

by Sarah Dean

You can’t expect to grow if you don’t accept new challenges, words of advice the men of Whiskey Myers have implied in their music. For Whiskey Myers – a quintet of East Texas bred boys – change was welcomed into their home like an old friend. Lead singer Cody Cannon says, “You gotta keep gettin’ better. If you don’t feel like you can get better, then you need to quit.”

Band in 2007, Whiskey Myers reputation has surged. Taking extensive notes from artists like Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers Band, and Led Zeppelin, Whiskey Myers shakes things up with modern Texas Country such as Reckless Kelly, Randy Rogers, and Cross Canadian Ragweed. Flaunting their captivating stage presence, the boys put on a show with a spirit not often seen in young bands.

Showcasing their know-how by constantly rearranging their musical furniture, Whiskey Myers may slip into a comfortable blues/rock frock before revving up the crowd with hard-rock chords and guitar solos that would summon applause from a sold-out arena. Suddenly, the band falls and lands softly back into their country-rock roots. Clinging to that uncertainty, the boys of Whiskey Myers – an always moving target – constructed their band around a passion for music and a hunger for keeping it fresh.

You can catch Whiskey Myers with Folk Family Revival Friday, Sept. 28 at 9 pm. More information on Whiskey Myers can be found on their website, whiskeymyers.com

Friday, Oct. 5th • Downtown Bryan

Cody Cannon’s rugged vocals – with an East Texas twang that just can’t be faked – tangled with twinlead guitars and smooth rhythm make for a band who zips off in all directions. From a solid recipe of Lynyrd Skynyrd and Led Zeppelin, Whiskey Myers adds a dash of grunge and psychedelia with a pinch of harmony-laden pop-rock and a smidgen of rockabilly. What began as a trio called Lucky Southern, Cody Cannon, Cody Tate, and John Jeffers teamed up with drummer Jeff Hogg and bassist Gary Brown, moved up to Tyler, and dubbed themselves Whiskey Myers. Before cranking out music together in their house in Tyler, the guys had never played music in any kind of organized group. From humble beginnings in the small town of Elkhart, writing songs and dreaming of success, to playing small gigs at private parties using flatbed trailers as stages, to opening for The Eli Young

Rob Baird @ Church Street BBQ

by Luke Murray

Discovering your identity and finding your niche in this world are tasks that face everyone as they grow older. For an artist, these tasks are challenging in a different degree. As you try to build a career around your passion, you hope and pray that your target audience connects with it on some level—because it’s your life and identity getting portrayed through your work. In a dog-eat-dog world, and an industry that is either sink-or-swim with no middle road, how does an aspiring musician find the faith it takes to pursue such a career? Ask Rob Baird, a Memphis native who left Tennessee to attend Texas Christian University in Fort Worth. Upon graduating from TCU, Baird stayed in Texas and found a new home in Austin where he would pursue a career in music. Coming off the recent release of what he considers his true sophomore album, Baird has seen successful tours and heard commending words from his fans and critics. That being said, it has not always been praise and glory for the Tennessean. Baird, now 25, released his first album when he was still attending classes at TCU. He does not consider that album to be his premier debut and does not hide his lack of pride in that record either. “I just wasn’t writing about anything that really meant anything to me,” Baird said. In August 2010, he released Blue Eyed Angels, which was his second official album, but his official debut album in his own mind. He blended the winding cries of steel pedals and rich organ tones with his own guitar style to develop a unique sound. It felt closer to his heart, but he still was not satisfied. In March of 2011, Baird teamed up with members of Hayes Carll’s band to work on a new album. By working around both his own and Carll’s touring schedules, Baird reached a result that he felt embodied his identity and what he was trying to be as an artist. In May of this year, he released I Swear It’s the Truth. The album’s title does not come from a song off the album, but from the idea that Baird feels encompasses the feel of the album. “I feel like this is a pretty strong collection of songs representing where I am now and what I’m trying to do, whether it’s for better or worse.” As an artist, Baird continues to try to find perfection in his writing and convey messages with the most meaning behind them. He wants to develop a career with longevity, no matter how long it takes, as longs as it is real and worth doing. Baird will be performing at Church Street BBQ on September 29 at 8pm.

TASTE

pg 12 | maroonweekly.com | 9.26.12

Hungry for a sweet treat or a tasty, quick meal? Harold’s Hot Dogs & Ice Cream is sure to please. Located in the former Sub Culture location at Wellborn Rd. & Southwest Parkway, local owners Duane and Rhonda Faltysek completely remodeled the space with a tasteful “Aggie chic” decor with a couple flat screens tuned to sports. The homemade ice cream was the first thing we tried. After several delicious samples (especially notable were the cake batter and red velvet flavors), I settled on a cup of mint ice cream with cookie dough mixed in. They mix the ice cream with the mix-ins of your choice on a cold stone slab and can either serve it in a cup or one of several waffle cone options that appeared quite delectable and way beyond my metabolism. The taste of the ice cream left me wanting more and the texture seemed to be smoother than most ice cream, reminding me of a creamy gelato. On my next visit, I tried the Southwestern hot dog and a mint chocolate chip shake made with their homemade ice cream.

Harold’s Hot Dogs & Ice Cream The shake was delicious and my Southwestern hot dog (ordered on the friendly employee’s recommendation) came loaded with pico de gallo, sour cream, chili and cheese. Jalapenos are usually standard on the Southwestern, but too hot for me. The hot dog was tasty and priced right at under three bucks. A thicker bun or chili with a slightly thicker consistency (so that it doesn’t seep into the bun) might be the only improvements Harold’s needs to reach the Hot Dog Hall of Fame. While it was made fresh, beautifully presented and quite delicious, I had to eat it with a fork as the bun started coming apart when I picked it up for my first bite. Overall, Harold’s Hot Dogs & Ice Cream gets it right. The inviting atmosphere and friendly service makes both students and families feel at home. Try Harold’s once and it will likely become one of your local favorites, too.

Texas A&M Meet the Aggies

The Aggies have started putting the pieces together on both sides of the ball. The Offense is moving the ball well, mixing in draws and QB runs to keep the opposing defense guessing. The Defense seems to have finally figured out how to tackle on the outside. Or maybe it is because we were playing SMU and SC State. Whatever the case, the Aggies have put together two straight wins with fantastic stats to back them up. But the real test begins this Saturday as the Aggies look for their first win in the SEC.

WR - Uzoma Nwachukwu

Texas A&M Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior wide receiver Uzoma Nwachukwu (Allen, Texas) is one of just four Aggies with more than 120 catches, 1500 yards and 10 touchdowns in his career. Nwachukwu is third on the team in catches and receiving yards with a career-high 50 for 639 yards. He has at least one catch in 35 straight games.

Arkansas has really had the Aggies number the last few years. No one will soon forget the second half collapse last year at Jerry World that seemed to epitomize the entire 2011 football season. But this is a different team. A team that appears to have an attitude. Can the Aggies finally put the Razorbacks away? Can Manziel keep up his impressive numbers against a real SEC defense? Can RB Micheal keep his head in the game with his newly garnered 3rd string title? We shall soon see.

Arkansas Meet the Razorbacks

Arkansas should feel right at home in Aggieland on Saturday. Drama has been the buzz word around Texas A&M leading up to their innaugural season in the SEC. And Arkansas knows a thing or two about drama. Former head coach Bobby Petrino was fired over the off-season for certain “indescretions” and the new head coach John L. Smith can’t even remember what team he is coaching half the time.

QB - Tyler Wilson

University of Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson (Greenwood, Ark.) is one of the best passing offensive players in the SEC. Wilson became the first Razorback in school history to be named first-team ALL-SEC quarterback. He is 344-of547 passing for 4,378 yards and 31 touchdowns. He is the 10th 4,000-yard passer in school history and ranks sixth in career touchdown passes, sixth in career pass completions and ninth in career pass attempts.

While the Razorbacks may have started the season ranked #8, they have looked anything but top-10 worthy in their first four games. They come in to Kyle Field with a 1-3 record, a shaky offense led by Senior QB Tyler Wilson, and the knowledge that they have beat A&M three straight years. But that was at a neutral site. Welcome to the Home of the 12th Man. Kyle is sure to be rocking. The Razorbacks will certainly have their hands full this weekend.

Art By Murder Takes to the Streets by Sarah Dean

Arm yourselves with paintbrushes, magnifying glasses, and a plaid deerstalker hat a la Sherlock Holmes. Art by Murder is a mash up of a murder mystery dinner and Painting with a Twist. Created by local artists Cynthie Hanks and Barbara German, the 3-hour experience blends the excitement of a scavenger hunt, creating art, and the wonder of a mysterious murder—all packed into one tour. Art by Murder is the kind of entertainment alternative that works the left and right hemispheres of your brain.

Here’s how it works: go to artbymurderevent.com and pick a date that works for you. The day before your event is scheduled to take place, you’ll receive a mystery phone call revealing the location where the story will begin.

The event’s goal is to reach out to the community by providing a fun atmosphere while catering to the artistic side of participants through positive encouragement and inspiration. You may consider yourself a Pablo Picasso, or perhaps children’s finger paintings put your artwork to shame.

When you arrive at the location, you’ll start searching for clues around Downtown Bryan, and you’ll be able to experience downtown in a whole new way as you assist “detectives” in solving a crime. No need for a notepad; participants will document all their evidence on canvas. Step-by-step painting instructions are provided by artists just for those who aren’t artistically inclined. The finished painting reveals the final clue that participants need to solve the mystery.

Whatever your skill level may be, Art by Murder enables you to explore not only your arts side but also your analytical side as you attempt to solve a murder. The event is schedule for two upcoming dates, September 28th and 29th from 6:00pm – 9:00pm, and the mystery du jour is called Diamond Defense. Tickets are available on their website at $65 for adults and a discounted price of $45 for students at artbymurderevent.com.

An experience fit for a group of friends, date night, or team building. A group of 10 (or more if special arrangements are made) become sleuths for the day while adventuring around Bryan and painting their own masterpieces. All of the painting supplies are provided. Comfortable clothing is suggested. For further questions and information on future mysteries, visit artbymurderevent.com.

National Night Out: America’s Night Out Against Crime by Ike Ntube

Unlike most of your average nights out, which might involve doing things that aren’t the best for your health (eating too much, not sleeping enough, or other “things”), National Night Out is a positive night out benefiting the community. The block party slated for October 2nd at 6pm in the University Apartments Community Center is meant to serve as a party in which the Bryan/College Station community comes together with law enforcement to fight crime. “National Night Out” is put on by the National Association of Town Watch annually and is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, to generate support for and participation in local anti-crime programs, and to strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships. Ultimately, one of the main goals of the program is to send a message to criminals to let them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back. With a serious and simple concept, it doesn’t seem plausible to get a lot of people together—which is why the event is always set up to be something that incorporates fun to negate some of its seriousness. A block party might be something that a lot of individuals in the community would enjoy, and the event is funded by the NATW and free for the public. We know what you’re thinking: A party thrown by a bunch of people that are always crashing your party? Think about this party as the only one they won’t crash.

a night out.

Enjoy us for a night in.

As the event continues to grow every year, the point is to get a concerted effort in a fight against drugs and crime. For more information on National Night Out and the National Association of Town Watch, visit nationaltownwatch.org.

Delta Zeta

Presents:

Run to the Chicken

by Ike Ntube

Yeah, it’s safe to say that it’s that season again. It’s that time of the year when organizations start to host 5Ks (3.2 mile runs) with proceeds going to philanthropies and t-shirts saying that you ran them. At 8am this Saturday, the season begins with Delta Zeta’s “Run to the Chicken.”

The true purpose of the race is to raise funds for Delta Zeta’s philanthropy Isaiah’s Place, an educational retreat facility meant to serve the deaf communities of Texas. The facility puts on programs that enrich the lives of the deaf community, their families, and their friends.

What makes “Run to the Chicken” stand apart from others? The Chicken, of course. The Chicken is an old bar in the Northgate district that has become an icon of the area, and this is where the race begins and ends (which also means that maybe a post race celebration is in order upon your return?).

In addition to the event, on Thursday there is an event called “Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner.” With funds going to the same philanthropy, it’s a $5 dinner from 6pm to 9pm at the Delta Zeta House in which you eat all different types of chicken from the College Station area(keeping the

“chicken” theme, regardless of whether you’re running to it or not). You can register and pick up packets early, or show up the day of the race at 7:15am to register behind the Chicken. So, if you’re about the Chicken, t-shirts with chickens on them, eating chicken, or helping a good cause(the most important part), Delta Zeta has you covered. If you just want a shirt, you can register and not run, or you can just donate money to Isaiah’s place as well. To learn more about Delta Zeta’s Run To The Chicken, visit runtothechicken.com.

Trivia Night @ Revolution Café and Bar by Chris Zebo

Monday nights are pretty boring; it’s too early in the week to party and too early in the week to study. So, you’re kind of left with nothing to do but Facebooking, channel surfing, or Netflixing. But it doesn’t have to be that way. What if you could spend a Monday night with a drink in your hand and “study” at the same time without feeling like you’re partying or doing your homework? Well, you can do just that. Every Monday night, Revolution Cafe hosts Trivia Night from 9pm till just before midnight, ending just in time to sleep 8 hours before class on Tuesday. We caught up with Trivia Night emcee, Jared Tucker, to learn more about the liquor-soaked Trivial Pursuit and we even got some sample questions for you. See if you can answer them...without help from Google and Wikipedia! MW: Tell us how Trivia Night started at Revs. Tucker: Jacob Asbill (previously the emcee of the venue’s popular Open Mic Night on Wednesdays) started it. There are a couple of trivia nights in College Station, and it was time for Downtown Bryan to have its own. When Jacob moved to Houston, he held auditions for a replacement emcee and I was lucky enough to have been chosen.

MW: Give readers examples of three questions that might be asked.. Tucker: Hmm. Three questions. I’ll use three of my questions from this week’s hodgepodge round: Who is the current Prime Minister of the U.K? Frank Sinatra is known to his fans by what colorful nickname? What is the name of the new Broadway musical starring George Takei? MW: You’re right. The questions have an eclectic diversity. Tucker: My goal when I write a round is as follows: give a few questions that everybody will know; a few more that only some will know; then a couple that really make you think. I want every team to have a chance to win. This means making sure that runaways are few and far between. MW: How does it work? Do people play as teams?

MW: What makes the cafe’s trivia night different than a pub quiz in C-Stat?

Tucker: It’s a pretty simple set-up. Five rounds of trivia. Whoever has the most points at the end wins. First and second place get a bar tab, third place gets a few consolation drinks.

Tucker: It’s just a different atmosphere. A little more casual, and, in my opinion, more intelligent. More interesting at least. You can only have so many quizzes about football before your patrons get bored. It’s a more diverse group of people and I try to make sure the trivia categories reflect that.

I allow a maximum of five people per team. No two-person team wants to play against a team of 10. And as I alluded to earlier, I really want to create a fair and balanced competition so nobody feels left out. And boy do teams get competitive. MW: Do you award monetary prizes? Tucker: The weekly prizes are a $25 bar tab for first place, $15 tab for second, and consolation drinks for third. And at Revolution, 25 bucks goes a long way. MW: So, basically, while the team is drinking and playing the quiz, they’re having a good time and also trying to beat everyone else to pay down their bar tab. Tucker: Exactly. MW: Hmmm.... Students would probably do better in their classes if there was this kind of dynamic and incentive. Sounds like loads of fun. Tucker: It’s a pretty interesting dynamic that creates an incredibly competitive environment. Everybody wants to win free booze and bragging rights, and it’s a great way to start the week. I always look forward to it. MW: Do people take their bragging rights too far and do victory dances? Any Tebows? Tucker: There are many victory dances and playful jeers directed toward the losers. Imagine if the Nobel Prize was awarded to Jr. High students. I can’t say I’ve seen a Tebow. I would like to, though!

The Master by Brandon Nowalk

It’s hard not to be skeptical of preordained masterpieces, so maybe that’s why I walked out of The Master feeling slightly unfulfilled. It doesn’t help that writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson’s new movie, The Master, courts masterpiece status by evoking The Best Years of Our Lives and The Godfather just as his last film, There Will Be Blood, referenced Citizen Kane and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. The Master is the story of Freddie Quill, a sailor in postWWII America who floats through the ‘40s in an alcoholic haze until, at the dawn of the ‘50s, he meets a man called The Master, the charismatic leader of a philosophical/ therapeutic/religious group who believe in reincarnation and the Slaughterhouse-Five-style time-travel abilities of the mind. That sounds pretty specific, and it is: The Master is a thinly veiled portrait of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, and his group is explicitly a cult, though without any of the well-documented abuses and

harassment the group is known for nowadays. The film is also, as is Anderson’s wont, the story of textbook America, a portrait of a country that found a purpose for all its military know-how in overthrowing the genocidal dictators of the western world but then foundered on the rocks until it found a new system of regimentation to govern its peacetime; the happy, little boxes of suburban life. It’s a film about institutions taking a nation of followers and taming them, from picket-fenced neighborhoods to the power of cults. The homosocial power struggle at the center of the film is also one of the many examples of American repression erupting in sporadic violence. Anderson is typically deft with strange aesthetic touches, like those loaded inserts of department-store portraits and the mass-market apparatus at work churning out copies of

pg26 26 || maroonweekly.com maroonweekly.com || 9.26.12 9.26.12 pg

The Master’s new book as suburbia chokes the country. But the star of Anderson’s subversive approach is Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood’s angular score. Greenwood’s score for There Will Be Blood is a modern classic, and his music for The Master is so thrillingly cryptic. So is star Joaquin Phoenix, an awkward, brutish figure who only seems at home humping a comically detailed sand sculpture of a woman, a truly three-dimensional performance. Anderson’s 65mm is so tightly focused that in one climactic shot Phoenix’s eyes are in focus but not his jutting nose or hunched shoulders. Precision has never been so exciting.

toptwentyfilms by Brandon Nowalk

1 End of Watch

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

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.

15 The Campaign

It’s like a scripted Christopher Guest mockumentary of a post-Citizens United political campaign that flies off the rails into schtick. Not even Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis can make that funny.

2 House at the End of the Street

1/2

Brace yourself: It’s Halloween season, heralded by another grimy 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!

16 Arbitrage

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.

3 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.

4 Finding Nemo 3D

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

5 Resident Evil:

Retribution

Like they always say, fifth time’s the charm! But seriously, Paul W.S. Anderson’s latest entry in the video game movie franchise is now even more video game-y, with extravagant maps and slo-mo 3D.

6 Dredd

1/2

At last, Judge Dredd has the film adaptation it deserves: a pulpy B-flick with a dynamite cast: Karl Urban as the titular, postapocalyptic executioner flanked by Lena Headey and Olivia

1/2

Thirlby. Stallone who?

7 The Master

Paul Thomas Anderson’s new movie hasn’t reached beyond a surprise 70mm screening in Austin, but after There Will Be Blood, anticipation for the new film is off the charts. Full review next week.

8 The Possession

A girl buys an antique box without checking inside for ancient Jewish demons first, and now her parents must fight the curse.

9 Lawless

I’m still wincing from the part in Guy Pearce’s hair. John Hillcoat corrals his baroque gangster saga like a tired farmer more than an artist, but Tom Hardy lights up the screen.

10 ParaNorman

A little boy sees dead people in this spectacular, spooky, over-stuffed gem, paving the way for more horror-comedy cartoons. Weird is the new normal, gray is the new black, and Laika is the new Pixar.

11 The Bourne Legacy

You have to give them some credit: Instead of a Spiderman-style reboot with the same old origin story, Bourne spun off Jeremy Renner into a new franchise. It’s hectic absurdity, but it could be worse.

12 The Odd Life of Timothy Green

It was only a matter of time before cinema invented the manic pixie dream kid. This one’s a wood nymph, but it’s still just Tuck Everlasting meets Marley and Me. It doesn’t deserve your tears.

13 The Expendables 2

All those muscles and manly man poses are clear: It takes a real man to stand still and squeeze a trigger on an automatic weapon. I wonder how much they paid the plastic surgeon.

14 The Dark Knight Rises

1/2

Nolan’s not a director. He’s a tinker: Mascot characterizations, Rube Goldberg emotions,

17 2016: Obama’s America

If we don’t act now, the president will transform America into a radical, unexceptional nation of socialist drones! If nothing else, pundit/ director Dinesh D’Souza gets points for creativity. And for balancing Michael Moore.

18 Hope Springs

1/2

Someone finally adapted the flashing scene from Something’s Gotta Give into a good movie! Leave it to Meryl Streep, Tommy Lee Jones, and Steve Carell to turn schmaltz into truth.

19 The Words

This is why you don’t plagiarize. They’ll make awful movies about you and advertise with the world’s least informative marketing campaign. If you want a real movie about plagiarism, check out Shattered Glass.

20 Last Ounce of Courage

The secularists are coming, the secularists are coming! The War on Christmas has a new hero in this propaganda piece about a church that isn’t allowed to put up a cross. Oh, please.
