Graphic film follows teen’s meltdown I saw “Black Swan” recently, the new “ballet horror” movie with Natalie Portman as a ballerina who goes crazy. It was good; however, not nearly as frightening as “Moonlight” (2002), the deeply disturbing tale of another young woman who loses her mind, but with far more terrifying results. Our story takes place near Luxembourg, where we meet 13-year-old Claire (Laurien Van den Broeck), the daughter of wealthy parents who adore her. They’ve given her everything a girl could want, yet Claire doesn’t act like a spoiled brat. She’s a solemn girl who doesn’t talk much, with few friends and no interests other than playing the piano like her concert pianist mom ( Jemma Redgrave). It’s while practicing one day that Claire freaks when she discovers she has started her first period. Running from the house in shock, she hides in the potting shed, her favorite refuge as a child. Huddled in a corner trying to process this unwelcome change in her life, Claire is stunned when blood drips down on her head from above. Climbing up to the loft, she is further stunned to see it’s coming from a boy (Hunter Bussemaker) about her age. He appears to be Middle Eastern, and he’s been shot in the leg and stomach.
Mary Anne Hempe Forgotten Video The boy is in serious need of medical attention, but instead of summoning help, Claire decides to keep her discovery a secret. The boy is a special find for a lonely girl, and Claire doesn’t want anyone else to hurt him. He is hers. Claire nurses the unconscious boy herself, stealing supplies from the house. She tends to all his bodily functions as well, discovering the reason for the boy’s plight when a dozen heroin-filled balloons work their way through his battered body. It appears that the boy is a drug mule, carrying dope for the mob. When the boy finally wakes up, Claire isn’t disappointed to find out that he can’t speak English or any of the other languages she knows. It doesn’t matter. The two misfits form an instant bond, playing a sort of perverted house together, until their little fantasy world is shattered when Claire’s father ( Johan Leysen) announces they’ll soon be moving. With the potting shed no longer available to hide the boy, where will she put him? The answer comes quite unexpect-
edly when the mobsters who lost the boy start circling in to claim their prize. Claire knows there’s no choice except to run. It’s the only way to protect him. Gathering up the heroin balloons, some cash and her backpack, she drags the boy to the local bus stop to begin a bizarre, almost surreal, journey that will take them both off the deep end. “Moonlight” isn’t an easy movie to watch; it’s quite graphic, portraying bodily functions, and there are several scenes with Claire and the boy involving drugs and sex (which is not explicit). It’s still a fascinating film, though, telling the story with practically no dialogue and some very unsettling and memorable images. It’s much scarier than “Black Swan,” thanks to an unpredictable script and a fearless and amazing performance from Van den Broeck as Claire (who was robbed of an Oscar nomination). I loved the scene where she pantomimes what happened the day she met the boy, when the girl with Down’s Syndrome touches her face and her fearless response to the mobster’s attack in the woods. “Moonlight” is an import from the Netherlands (it’s in English, though). It’s not rated, although it’s definitely not for kids or the squeamish. Check it out!

Elephant Revival talent hard to ignore in album By Aaron Wright Gray pop editor
Although their talent was obvious on their first album in 2008, Elephant Revival’s sophomore release, “Break in the Clouds,” contains a more mature sound from songwriters and musicians even more experienced after a busy touring schedule. A transcendental folk group, Elephant Revival, boasts two members from Oklahoma and comes to the state several times a year while on tour. They have performed at several Norman venues in the past year. The 14 songs on this album show the depth and reach of the group, with the variety and style of the songs. Celtic fiddle tunes, indie rock, psychedelic country and original folk pieces are all part of the album mix. Most songs are a blend of vocals with long instrumen-
tal interludes, except for two tracks. The fast-paced “Lexington” shows off the quick fingers of the banjoist and the fiddler. “Ancient Sea,” the other instrumental track, is a calmer tune, with more fluid melodies, although many of the notes and phrases sound urgent. This piece nicely highlights the talent of violionist Bridget Law. The band is made up of Sage T. Cook on electric banjo/guitar, mandolin and viola; Dango Rose on upright bass, mandolin, claw-hammer and banjo; Law on fiddle and octave violin; Daniel Rodriguez on guitar and banjo, and Bonnie Paine on washboard, djembe, musical-saw and stompbox. All members provide vocals. David Tiller and Enion Pelta-Tiller appear as guest instrumentalists on the album. Paine’s unusual and compelling sound adds an almost haunting element to
the track with her not quite raspy, not quite airy, but not full-force tone. Like the mythical sirens, she entices the listener to hear more of her. Paine’s voice is especially highlighted on the last track of the album, “Breathe,” which uses an unusual background sound of running water. The low-key “Feathers Rise” came as a recommended track from the group. The folksy piece touches on the enjoyment of the simple aspects of life. “What is Time?” is also a folksy, bluegrass tune that comments on the way humans allow their life to be ruled by schedules. “But the question remains, what is time? It’s when the sun comes up, the sun goes down, the moon comes out and the people dance all around,” the group members sing during this song. The title track, “Break in the Clouds,” is reminiscent

of an old spiritual or hymn, with a repetitive, but catchy tune. “Go On” has more in common with some of the more popular indie rock sounds: heavier on the vocals, with a pop twist and use of electric instruments. The song comments on how everything can be used to help or hurt. “It’s up to us,” the singer says.

Elephant Revival released their second album, “Break in the Clouds,” in later November. The album, released in late November, is a real delight, appealing to a variety of audiences due to its range of songs. More
than anything, though, the artists possess a level of talent that is hard not to enjoy. The musical quality is superb.
Norman filmmaker seeks to raise funds to fix sound for ‘1 in 3’ By Aaron Wright Gray pop editor
With the demands for screenings growing, Norman filmmaker Lagueria Davis has put a plan in motion to enhance the quality for her film “1 in 3.” “We’ve basically launched this Kickstarter campaign to fix some problems in this film,” Davis said, noting that most of the problems are sound issues. Kickstarter is a website that allows people to donate to creative projects. Davis and her film team have set a goal of raising $7,000 by Feb. 5. As of press time, $550 had been raised. Davis said the pressure is really on

Either the group reaches its $7,000 goal and collects, or it doesn’t reach the goal and ends up with no money
raised. Donors aren’t charged for their contribution until the amount reaches $7,000. Despite the risk of not having funding, Davis said she and her team have already started working on correcting sound issues. Earlier in December, the main actress in the film recorded her lines in a studio. Davis said it’s important to have quality sound production for movie continuity reasons. “It can take you out of the story,” she said. So far, the film has been screened four times. Davis said two screenings are confirmed this year, but she’s had many more requests,
specifically in high volume from colleges and conference organizers. “The great thing about ‘1 in 3’ is that it’s not just a festival film,” she said. Releasing a DVD version of the film is also something Davis is looking into for the
film’s future plans. She would like for it to be picked up by a distribution company, but is willing to selfrelease, if needed. The idea for “1 in 3” came from Davis’s six years as an

Norman band headlines at Opolis By Aaron Wright Gray pop editor
Today:
Two days, 20 bands. The Opolis is gearing up for crowds as they host the Campaign for Real Music 1 and 2 today and Saturday night. The night kick off with music at 5 p.m. The last band each day takes the stage at midnight. Rainbows Are Free, a Norman band, will appear last at the musical smorgasbord, headlining Saturday night’s lineup. The band has been together since 2008 and put out their second full album, “Believers in Medicine,” in April 2010 under Guestroom Records’ label. Although new under the name Rainbows Are Free, the members are longtime participants of the Norman and Oklahoma music scenes. “We’ve all kind of played in bands for the past 10 years,” said Richie Tarver, Rainbows Are Free lead guitarist. The band is made up of Brandon Kistler on vocals, Chad Hogue on bass, Bobby Onspaugh on drums, Lucas Watson on guitar and Tarver on lead guitar. Describing themselves on their Facebook page as classic stoner/metal rock, Tarver said the members of the group have always gravitated toward participating in hard rock bands. “We’ve always tried to stay a little heavier,” Tarver said, noting that it makes live shows fun. He said the group attempts to keep the audience attentive during its live performances, setting up theatrical moves such as having a flying frontman. “We definitely want to encourage participating, everyone getting crazy,” Tarver said.

Although the group gravitates toward harder rock, Tarver said the members try to throw a little jazz and blues into the sound. The group’s songs are reminiscent of 1970s rock, with bands such as Pentagram and Black Sabbath as influences. “It’s definitely throw-back music,” Tarver said of the group’s sound. In a market light on heavy rock, Tarver said Rainbows Are Free often is able to open for national acts passing through the area. In the past, they’ve opened for bands such as High on Fire, Black Mountain and Dead Meadow. They’ve also hit the festival scene pretty hard, performing at Norman Music Festival, South by Southwest and DFest. They frequently play local shows in Norman and the metro

area, as well. The group is trying to expand its influence, scheduling shows in Austin, Texas, and Wichita, Kan. With families at home, however, Tarver said constant touring is not a desirable path for many members. Performances, however, are the highlight of being in the music business, and Tarver doesn’t want to see that diminish for the group. Although the songwriting process has already started for future albums, Tarver

said Rainbows Are Free members are still focusing on promoting their recent release. “We still have a lot of work to do with the new album,” Tarver said. See Rainbows Are Free at the Opolis at midnight Saturday. Tickets are $6, and doors open at 4 p.m. The Opolis is located at 113 N. Crawford Ave.

Aldean’s album not as strong, but shows talent Reviewing Jason Aldean’s previous album, “Wide Open,” in May 2009, I wrote that Aldean, having endured a sophomore slump, was back on his third album “with a new energy” in the form of a “crisp, rockin’ new album.” And “Wide Open” was a monster. Incredibly popular and loaded with hits. Songs like “She’s Country” and “Big Green Tractor” stick with you long after hearing them. Well, upon listening to the just-released “My Kinda Party,” I just don’t get that same impression. Granted, it’s song-heavy — 15, all told — and there are some solid, straight country songs here. But even though he brings Michael Knox back to the production booth, Aldean’s heart just doesn’t seem to be in it. Aldean likes his guitars on the heavy side, when he can get them. On album opener “Tattoos On this Town,” he stays true to that tradition. Sounding similar to his song “Amarillo Sky,” this Georgian embraces a certain, comfortable style that can get repetitious at times. This is also evident on the title track, “My Kinda Party,” a song that is bona fide redneck rock, but is
Andrew W. Griffin reddirtreporter@gmail.com
lacking in a certain soulfulness that would have given this lyrically run-of-themill track a bit more bite. Teaming up with Texas pop star Kelly Clarkson on “Don’t You Wanna Stay,” Aldean offers up an overwrought power ballad that shows his willingness to take chances and his willingness to make mistakes. Clarkson’s got the pipes; it’s Aldean who struggles to keep up. I knew country rapper Colt Ford had to be involved on the clunky “Dirt Road Anthem,” which he co-wrote, and with Aldean sounding awkward as he talks/raps lines over a rippling bass line reminiscing about life in the country. Ford can pull it off. Aldean, on the other hand, needs to ditch the rap stuff, no matter how tempting it is. Up-and-coming country singer Josh Thompson cowrote one of the better songs on “My Kinda Party” called “Church Pew or Bar Stool,” a slower-tempo track which showcases Aldean’s unique voice and
traditional themes of struggling with life and deciding between “a shot glass or revival.” This song is one of the better songs in his growing catalog. Oklahoma gets some well-deserved attention on the middling country rocker “Fly Over States.” This one written by Neil Thrasher and Michael Dulaney captured the idea of the Heartland, often forgotten by Coasties. Singing, “On the plains of Oklahoma / With a windshield sunset in your eyes / Like a watercolored painted sky / You’ll think heavens doors have opened / You’ll understand why God made / Those fly-over states.” Songs like “Just Passing Through” and “Days Like These” are decent, while Aldean shows his vocal strengths (and musical direction) on pedal-steelflecked “open road” songs like “Texas Was You.” This sounds influenced by the Texas/Red Dirt scene. This isn’t Aldean’s strongest album to date, but it shows that the Peach State native still can belt out big numbers and twang his way through mid-tempo country rockers with ease. Grade — B

Blues album is ‘real deal’ Tas Cru, Jus’ Desserts, Crustee Tees Records Upstate New York doesn’t generally come to mind as a hotbed of the blues, but that’s where Tas Cru is based. Clarksdale, Miss., on the other hand, is the very heart and soul of Delta blues, and Cru is a regular player at the Ground Zero Blues Club there. “Jus’ Desserts” is his fourth LP, featuring 11 original songs that leave no

doubt he has the genre nailed. Most attractive is that Cru isn’t formulaic. He brings his own vibrant personality to the music, while staying true to the art form’s roots. Who else has a blues tune referencing global positioning systems? On “My GPS Mama,” we learn his baby tells him where to go. Cru on guitars and blues harp leads a band
with keys, bass, drums and backing vocals on this disc. In the liner notes, he comments that all personnel were encouraged to compose their bits and contribute ideas for the final arrangements. The title track is a languid tribute to his baby’s culinary skills, but you’ll get the drift on what his favorite dessert is. It ain’t shortenin’ bread. Cru’s broken-hearted harmonica and lyrics about living lonely make the third song a soul satisfier. It’s called “The Real Deal,” and that’s what this album is.
Patsy Cline subject of season opener Lyric Theatre opens its 2011 Season with the country musical legend “Always… Patsy Cline.” See “the velvet-voice of country music” star Patsy Cline come to life this winter at Lyric Theatre’s Plaza stage. This musical play, complete with down-home country humor, emotion and some audience participation includes 27 musical renditions of her unforgettable hits, such as “Crazy,” “I Fall to Pieces,” “Sweet Dreams,” “Walking After Midnight” and “Honky Tonk Merry Go Round.”
The power of friendship between Cline and her No. 1 fan, Houston housewife Louise Seger, also is explored. Having first heard Cline on “The Arthur Godfrey Show” in 1957, Seger became an immediate and avid fan, constantly hounding the local disc jockey to play Cline’s records on the radio. Their relationship, which began as fan worship, evolved into one of mutual respect for one another. This endearing story combines humor with sincerity and gives fans, old
and new, a chance to remember the most acclaimed female country vocalist of the 20th century. Single tickets for the Oklahoma City performance of “Always… Patsy Cline” are available for $40. Performances are 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and a 2 p.m. matinee Saturday. For more information, visit www.lyrictheatreokc. com, call 405-524-9312 or come by the Lyric box office at 1727 NW 16th St., Oklahoma City. — pop staff reports

Betty White, Ed Asner reunite at critics tour By Maria Elena Fernandez Los Angeles Times

Pictured is a scene from the film “1 in 3.” The story is about a woman who helps abused women. Funds are being collected to help fix issues — mostly sound problems — with the film. The deadline for donations is Feb. 5.
Funds: Still needed • Continued from pg. 3 employee at the Women’s Resource Center in Norman. The story focuses on a woman who helps abused women. Davis began the film in September 2009. After 10 days of filming — done mainly on weekends and vacations, since she held a full-time job — she began post-production work. Davis said she thinks the film sparks conversation
about domestic violence, a topic she thinks is too often avoided. “Nobody wants to talk about what’s going on behind closed doors and put it on the front porch,” she said. She’s hoping this film will be able to do that. To support the kickstarter campaign, visit www.kickstarter.com/projects/7267318 63/feature-film-bringsawareness-to-domesticviolence.
PASADENA, Calif. — The Winter Television Critics Association Press Tour, where networks showcase upcoming programming, kicked off Wednesday in Pasadena with a very cool blast from the past: Betty White and Ed Asner together again. Well, not exactly. The two comics, who worked together in the 1970s on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” appeared on two consecutive MTV Networks panels, but their affection was evident. Besides her dozens (or is it thousands?) of TV appearances in 2010, White is starring on TV Land’s hit, “Hot in Cleveland,” which is premiering its second season Jan. 19. Asner, 81, is part of the new CMT sitcom “Working Class,” about a scrappy single mom (Melissa Peterman) who moves her children to an upscale suburb. Asner plays her cranky neighbor, Hank. Much of the “Hot in
Cleveland” session was spent addressing how much everyone loves Betty White. But the nearly 89-year-old actress is feeling a bit bashful about all the attention. Responding to a question about why she’s so darn lovable, White replied: “Oh, my dear, have I got you fooled.” When a reporter asked her “Cleveland” cast members Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves and Wendie Malick, what it’s like to work with the iconic actress, White piped up: “What is this Betty White business? This is so silly. You’ve had such an overdose of me lately. But trust me, I think I’m gonna go away for a while.” “It’s hard for me to say no to a job because you spend your career thinking if you say no, they’ll never ask you again. But my mother taught me to say no when I was a girl,” she said. “I’m trying to cut down. I really am, but when you love what you do so much and this lady (executive producer Suzanne Martin)

remade his career, offered his thoughts on why he and White have had such long, successful careers. “I think talent has something to do it. I’d like to lay claim to that,” he said and paused. “I figure I’m in that middle stage of aging. ... I’m in that middle stage prior to becoming Mickey Rooney or Betty White.”
