Villains shine in ‘Kansas City Confidential’ Who knew that three of the best screen bad boys ever starred together in 1952’s “Kansas City Confidential”? What a treat. Not only do we get a tight script, non-stop action and a twist ending, this terrific little crime drama also gives us Jack Elam, Lee Van Cleef and Neville Brand — a trio of classic screen villains — and all in their prime. Our story begins in Kansas City, where we see the seeds of bank heist sown by a mysterious man who hides behind a creepy mask. The man recruits a crew of three, one at a time, to carry out what he calls the perfect crime — robbing the Southwest Bank of $1.2 million (more than $8 million today). The first guy is longtime loser Pete Harris (32-year-old Elam); the second, smooth-talking ladies’ man Tony Romano (27-year-old Van Cleef, without a mustache and with hair); and the third is Boyd Kane (32year-old Brand), an ex-con who will do anything for a payout this big. The masked man insists that all three men wear masks like his before they meet. That way they won’t be able to finger each other, since no one knows what the other guys look like. The plan is to steal the loot from two armed guards and make their getaway
Mary Anne Hempe Forgotten Video in a flower delivery van. While each man will eventually earn a quarter of the loot, they’ll have to wait awhile before they can get their hands on it. The money is too hot to spend right away. The masked man gives them detailed instructions about where and when they’ll rendezvous to divvy it up when things cool down. It’s a flawless plan, and it goes off perfectly. Well, almost. The hitch comes in the form of Joe Rolfe (“Miracle on 34th Street’s” John Payne), who’s spotted driving a flower van like the one seen fleeing the scene. Although Rolfe protests his innocence, the cops are sure he’s involved and repeatedly try beating a confession out of him. But Rolfe, a somewhat hardened ex-con himself, won’t budge. When the actual getaway vehicle is discovered, they’re forced to let him go. Rolfe is now the loose end the masked man never anticipated. He isn’t quite ready to forgive the guys who set him up to take their fall. Rolfe doesn’t want revenge. He just wants payback — in the form of an equal cut
of the take. The trail leads all the way to Mexico, where Rolfe discovers the truth is more complicated than he imagined. Director Phil Karlson makes sure there’s never a dull moment in “Kansas City Confidential,” although he couldn’t ensure there wouldn’t be a few laughable ones 59 years later. I loved that one-lane border crossing into Mexico, all the ancient telephones (Were there really so few dial phones in 1952?) and the sloppy way everyone shoots guns. Dated moments aside, “Kansas City Confidential” still is a very entertaining movie, thanks to the trio of Elam, Van Cleef and Brand. Elam, who appeared in more than 200 movies and TV shows, died in 2003 at the age of 83. Van Cleef ’s career almost ended in 1959, when he was involved in a serious car accident. But his popularity zoomed back with “The Good, Bad, and the Ugly,” and he worked steadily until his death at 64 in 1989. Brand, primarily a TV bad guy (albeit one with a heart of gold in “Laredo”), was one of the most decorated soldiers in WWII. He died in 1992 at the age of 71. See them all when they were young in “Kansas City Confidential” (unrated). Check it out!

Sing your heart out, Norman By Aaron Wright Gray
Where to belt it:
pop editor
Karaoke. It’s a time to release your inner superstar in a setting where the people have the control of the microphone. You choose your songs, interpretation and how you will entertain fellow bar hoppers. Talon Christian is a regular on the karaoke scene in Norman. He said he comes by Bill and Dee’s nearly every week to take the stage. “It’s just laid-back,” he said, adding that this bar is his particular karaoke spot of choice, due to its atmosphere. Christian had just performed some karaoke rap to an enthusiastic audience. J.J. Bradford is another regular on karaoke nights. “I love to sing. It’s just a venue where I can sing,” the aspiring musician said. Bradford showed the range of her karaoke talents by singing a solo of “Fidelity” by Regina Spector, but not until she got her girls together for a charismatic version of “Shoop” by Salt N Pepa. Morgan Sissons, who sang “Out Tonight” from the musical “Rent” at Mr. Bill’s on Sunday night, said she, too, karaokes because she has a passion for singing. “I love singing, and I love that I get to here,” Sissons said. “I come here every Sunday.” Sissons said Mr. Bill’s is her favorite karaoke spot because the eclectic crowd loves everyone who has the courage to get up and perform. Angie Greenfield, who has run karaoke at Mr. Bill’s for five years, said it’s really

a fad right now. She said the singers are a mix of those who get some liquid courage and want to have a little fun and those who are regulars at the mike. These regulars generally have a list of songs they sing each week. Greenfield said she’s gotten to where she’ll have the songs ready for these singers. “They’re die-hard karaoke fans,” she said. “Most people just like to come out and let loose and sing.”
Another regular group Greenfield has noticed are the onlookers. “Most of the time they’re up dancing and singing along,” Greenfield. “It’s a lot of crowd participation.” In a more subdued venue in town, Zach Walchuk serves as a host for Open Mic Night at Othello’s. During the evening, anybody there can sign up
for their 15 minutes of fame singing, playing instruments, reading poetry or performing another talent. Walchuk said he got into hosting after several months of being a regular during the night. When open mic ceased, he wanted to see what it would take to bring it back. When he was told the answer was hosts,
Top 5 karaoke hits, according to Angie Greenfield at Mr. Bill’s: 1) “Friends in Low Places” by Garth Brooks 2) “Poker Face” by Lady Gaga 3) “Proud Mary” by Tina Turner 4) “Sweet Caroline” by Neil Diamond 5) “I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll” by Joan Jett
he quickly volunteered and is now one of three hosts for the Open Mic night, which takes place every Thursday at 9. Performers take the stage in the order their names
appear on the sign-up sheet. Walchuk said people also can call and schedule a time to take the stage. Aaron Wright Gray 366-3533 pop@normantranscript.com

Colton, Chamberlain set to perform at Brewhouse Jan. 27 pop staff reports Oklahoma City native Graham Colton is ready for audiences to see another side of him. After touring with the likes of Sheryl Crow, Kelly Clarkson and Dave Matthews Band, Colton is back on the road with new material that hits a little closer to home. Colton and local singer/songwriter Sherree Chamberlain will perform at The Brewhouse at 10 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 27. The show is for all ages, and the cover charge is $10. For the past year, Colton used his website, grahamcolton.com, as a microscope into his personal creative process, with an interactive
blog he calls “Sides.” Colton posts studio video journals, new songs and his musical inspirations as a way of including fans on his record-making journey. The three EPs that emerged from this experiment reveal a more matured style, but still keep the upbeat youthfulness from his first solo album, “Here Right Now.” Colton’s show at The Brewhouse may feature some of the old — such as his iTunes single of the week song “Best Days” — with the new. One of Colton’s most recent songs, “Twenty Something,” was highlighted on an episode of the ABC drama “Boston Med” this summer.

‘Ghost Bird’ to screen at Sam Noble pop staff reports In 2005, scientists announced that the Ivorybilled woodpecker, a species thought to be extinct for 60 years, had been found in the swamps of eastern Arkansas. Millions of dollars poured in from the government while ornithologists and birders flooded into the area to spot the bird. Now, six years later, conclusive evidence of the woodpecker’s existence remains as elusive as ever. “Ghost Bird,” a documentary film that traces the story of the Ivory-billed woodpecker’s highly debated return, will be

screened at 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 27, at the Sam Noble Museum in Norman. Admission is free, and a discussion session will follow the screening. “Ghost Bird” tells the story of a big bird, a small town and the complex relationships of money, science, conservation and hope.
The film was produced by Small Change Productions under director Scott
Crocker and cinematographer Damir Frkovic, with an original musical score composed and performed by avant-garde cellist Zoë Keating. The screening of this film is part of the Cinema for Conservation 2010 Biodiversity Benefit Tour. Additional information about Ghost Bird is available online at www.ghostbirdmovie.com.

Charlie Hunter will perform two solo shows at 7 and 9:30 p.m. Jan. 26 at The Performing Arts Studio.
Hunter to play classics at PAS pop staff reports On Wednesday, Jan. 26, guitarist Charlie Hunter will perform two solo shows at 7 and 9:30 p.m. at The Performing Arts Studio in Norman. Tickets are $15, and the show is for all ages. Hunter independently released his first solo album in 10 years, “Public Domain” (Spire Artist Media), in September 2010. Hunter follows up his January 2010 release,
“Gentlemen, I Neglected To Inform You You Will Not Be Getting Paid,” with a solo recording featuring 11 classic tunes that have been around long enough for their copyrights, but not their charms, to have expired. “There is a law,” Hunter said, “that after a certain amount of time, every song becomes public domain and you don't have to pay royalties. In the U.S. it’s 70 years. These are all popular songs from that era.”
Bella Ruse played a live performance at Coaches in Norman last year. They’re from Minnesota. The core duo of Kay Gillette and Joseph Barker are joined by Nathan Eliot (bass) and Alexander Young (drums) on this inaugural LP. Gillette’s the lead vocalist and Barker plays guitar.
Doug Hill hillreviews@ hotmail.com
CD review Between the two, they also play toy piano, kazoo, glockenspiel, typewriter and melodica on this very clever and delightful album. The songs are mostly Barker’s original compositions, but it’s quite a gumbo of contributions from Gillette and others. Overall, the mood is feminine, and it
wasn’t surprising to read that a 2010 tour with Sarah McLachlan is on their resumé now. Gillette has a very beautiful voice that conjures fond memories of Lilith Fair. She’s really pleasant to listen to. With whistling, clapping and the aforementioned Olivetti percussion, some songs tread on the precipice of being terminally cute. “Complicated Rhythm” contains the lyric, “The dimples on your cheeks are evidence we’re getting
stronger.” I don’t know what these knotty words mean. It recalls my spouse’s recent opinion about modern 20somethings and their interminably “complicated” relationships. “It’s only as complicated as you want it to be,” she said. Happily, only two tracks actually feature kazoo, and there’s nothing complicated about the first one’s sentiment. “I want you back in the bed while I’m sleeping,” Gillette sings.
