‘Suspension’ a time- (and heart-) stopping thriller You can spend $250 million on a sci-fi movie and make something spectacular like “Avatar,” or you can spend just $1 million and create something quietly wondrous like 2008’s “Suspension.”

Dan Bennett (Scott Cordes) is a regular guy with an average life — until the day a pick-up truck plows into his car. At the moment of impact something extraordinary happens to Dan. Time literally stops around him. His wife and son are frozen, shattered glass is stuck in mid-air, but Dan can still move. He leaves his car and walks over to the pick-up, where he sees the driver had just received a call from a woman named Sarah on his cell phone. Then, nothing.

When Dan wakes up in the hospital, he’s barely allowed time to open his eyes before a doctor bluntly tells him that his wife and son were killed in the crash. The driver of the pick-up is dead, too.

Dan is too shocked to process it all. His family is gone — and what of the weirdness at

Mary Anne Hempe Forgotten Video the crash site? Was the timestop just a result of his head injury?

Although Dan recovers physically, his mind is a mess. He’s numb to everything.

What used to be home is now only a tragic reminder of what he’s lost. While going through his family’s possessions, he discovers his son’s damaged video camera. The boy was taping right before the crash, and while seeing it all again would be torture, Dan craves just one more glimpse of his family.

Dan fixes the camera and plays the tape, but when he arrives at the crucial point, he can’t bear the pain and hits the pause button. And time stops.

Although Dan is once again free to move about, everything else is stuck. Dan is thrilled with his new power. He’ll never need to work again. When he needs money, all he has to do is freeze time and steal it.

‘Suspension’ Starring: Scott Cordes, Annie Tedesco Plot: A tragic car accident yields a supernatural power to one of its survivors.

Review: One of the creepiest scifi movies in quite some time. The leads are excellent.

MPAA: Unrated

After learning that the pickup driver didn’t have insurance and that his widow, Sarah (Annie Tedesco), will lose her house to pay up, Dan tells his lawyer to forget it — he won’t be responsible for putting Sarah out on the street when he can now afford anything he wants.

Besides, he feels a special connection to Sarah, all the way back to the crash.

So Dan starts spying on Sarah, stopping time while he walks around her house fixing small things and leaving little gifts. It isn’t long before Dan is in love with her and then, just as quickly, obsessed.

Sarah thinks she’s losing her mind. She never sees Dan,

who’s always careful to stop time when Sarah isn’t home.

Dan is addicted to his power now and like all addicts, thinks he’s the one in control. It’s the other way around, of course, and there’s nothing Dan can do to stop it.

Co-directors Alec Joler and Ethan Schaftel used the same stop-action 3-D technique made famous in “The Matrix” for “Suspension” and to great effect.

It’s one of the creepiest sci-fi movies in quite some time; the thought of someone roaming around your life while you’re clueless and paralyzed is particularly unnerving, especially the scene where Dan and Sarah are reading the newspaper in the coffee shop and when he wakes up in her house after the camera shuts off.

Cordes and Tedesco are excellent in the leading roles; loved their final horror-filled scene in the hospital.

“Suspension” is unrated; there is a bit of blood, but no nudity or language. Check it out!

A soulful slice of Americana This new album by Colorado native John-Alex Mason proves that blues music is not just a blast from the past.

Its inspiration comes from one electrifying night of freedom in Denver.

Mason doesn’t stray far from the genre’s comforting roots but does wander into brave new fields of Americana vibe.

Although he’s well under 40, Mason’s vocals have the sound of a much older man. He’s a vocal

stylist, in the sense that his is not a pretty, John Mayer kind of voice.

Mason’s pipes are memo-

rable in the manner of Tom Waits, Mac Rebennak and Don Van Vliet.

It’s fortunate that he has teamed with Cedric and Cody Burnside, grandchildren of innovative blues luminary R.L. Burnside.

Cody’s unexpected but decisively radical rap passages on a pair of numbers are just a couple of lightning strikes in this artistically massive new album.

Half the songs were

written by Mason along with rearranged homage to Mississippi Fred McDowell and Oscar Brown Jr. His poet wife, Rosanne, collaborates on lyrics, including those for “My Old Lonesome Home” and “Gone So Long.” “Diamond Rain” is a joyful hymn memorializing the end of a six-year drought.

Mason’s “Thunderclap” is a welcome sound rolling down from the Rockies.

Alicia Keys

Norman senior drama group the Second Stage Players will re-enact classic radio scripts from “The Lone Ranger,” “X Minus One,” and Ray Bradbury’s “Suspense!” at 7 p.m. April 1 at Common Ground, 324 W. Main St. The sound-effects crew chief is Pam Siria, music effects are provided by Karen Wieder and Buz St. John provides sound staging.

Tickets are $5 at the door or in advance from the Performing Arts Studio, 307-9320, or the Second Stage Players, 3648516.

The Players are always looking for new talent. For information on joining the group or scheduling a performance, call Ina St. John, director, at 364-8516.

• “The Element of Freedom” • Grade: B When Alicia Keys declared herself a “Superwoman” on her last album — with an “S” on her chest, oh, yes! — she certainly had good reason.

She had competed by herself, more or less, against one prefab pop singer after another with teams of handlers and armies of producers and songwriters for the better part of a decade and come out on top. From “Fallin”’ to “No One,” Keys had proved she was the real deal.

Maybe that’s why “The Element of Freedom” (J) sounds a bit disappointing and shockingly incomplete. Though Keys is in fine voice, as usual, and has constructed even

more of her trademark soaring soul anthems, the bulk of them sound a little short.

The first single “Doesn’t Mean Anything” ends up being prophetic.

It sounds big and feels important, but it lacks passion and an interesting point of view. It’s a pattern she repeats throughout the heart of “Freedom,” in the equally bland followup “Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart” and the sweet-sounding emptiness of “How It Feels to Fly.” Keys does get a boost from the power couple of Jay-Z and Beyonce. B’s appearance on “Put It in a Love Song” pushes Keys to try something different in her phrasing and her rhythms, while the inspirational influence of Jay-Z rubs off on Keys for “Empire State of Mind (Part II),” reminding us how essential her chorus is to that smash hit.

“The Element of Freedom” shows that even Superwoman can run into some creative Kryptonite every now and then.

Robin Thicke • “Sex Therapy” • Grade: A What makes Robin Thicke’s “Sex Therapy” (Interscope) so addictive is the way he bends the latest hip-hop styles to his will. Whether he is surrounded by the spacey stomp of “Elevatas” with Kid Cudi, the Dirty Southfueled “Shakin’ It 4 Daddy” with Nicki Minaj or the playful bossa nova of “Meiple” with Jay-Z, Thicke and his smooth vocals remain remarkably on target. He even makes a mashup of Eurodance rhythms and James Brown funk on “Rollacoasta,” with help from Estelle, sound as effortless as his Princely falsetto.

Corbin bringing ‘A Little More Country’ to Oklahoma

By Andrew W. Griffin The Norman Transcript

OKLAHOMA CITY — Of all the new country artists to get some well-deserved attention over the past year, Florida-native Easton Corbin is certainly the one who has achieved the most accolades in neo-traditional country circles, having been nominated for numerous country awards.

And that laid-back, Sunshine State-country vibe permeates his self-titled 2010 debut from the George Strait-esque “A Little More Country Than That” to the breezy-n-twangy “Roll With It” to the ballad and new single “I Can’t Love You Back.”

Talking to Pop recently from his home in Nashville, Corbin answered our questions about

his debut album, which we voted one of the top 10 albums of 2010 in our year-end list.

Asked about the George Strait comparisons, Corbin said, “It’s an honor. George Strait — he’s a legend, one of a kind. There’s never gonna be another George Strait, that’s for sure.”

With his heavy touring schedule, Corbin admits he doesn’t get back to his hometown in Gilchrist County, Fla. very often.

Still, folks back home have expressed their excitement about the success of their hometown boy.

“They’re really proud and really supportive,” Corbin said.

Corbin has been nominated for three Academy of Country Music Awards, including top new solo vocalist, single and

song of the year for his debut No.

1 hit, “A Little More Country Than That.”

Corbin said the song “really spoke to me” and that it reflected how he grew up in the rural South, with its images of small towns, hound dogs and “catchin’ channel cat” with a cane pole.

“It was music I could really love and relate to,” Corbin said.

Corbin said the video for the ballad “I Can’t Love You Back” was unique because the girl is

about to be hit by a truck at the beginning but then it goes backward to the guy with the guitar, played by Corbin. It’s a sad song and one where you don’t know the ending.

“I really liked the idea of a video that went backwards,” Corbin said. “A song that is openended for the audiences; let the fans interpret it.”

Right now, Corbin is working with some of the same songwriters he used on his debut and prepping for his sophomore disc.

He said he looks to legends like Merle Haggard and George Jones as influences.

Corbin said he loves the crowds in Central Oklahoma, noting a recent gig he played at the Diamond Ballroom in Oklahoma City.

“Any time we play there, there is such a great response from people,” he said.

Corbin said that when he plays live he likes to talk to the audience and play all the songs from his record. He said he is also very approachable and loves talking to fans.

“We’re out there hitting it as hard as we can,” Corbin said.

“We’ve got a great response from fans. I think it’s important to reach out to the fans.”

Easton Corbin will be playing the Riverwind Casino at 8 tonight. Admission is $20 for premium, $28 for VIP and $32 for platinum. For more information, call 322-6464 or visit www.riverwind.com.

OU Fine Arts College collaborates on ‘The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber’ www.silkthemagazine.com

By Holly Jones Special to the pop

The University of Oklahoma College of Fine Arts will present “The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber,” conceived and directed by Hugh Wooldridge.

Performances are slated for 8 p.m April 14-16 and 3 p.m. April 17 in Sharp Concert Hall at Catlett Music Center, 500 W. Boyd St. “It has always been a dream of mine to sing with a full orchestra,” said Skyler Adams, musical theater senior and soloist in the upcoming production. “I’m glad that I am getting the chance to take part in a collaboration of this scale, I think it will be years before OU will see something like this again.”

Executive Producer

Max Weitzenhoffer enlisted Wooldridge from London’s West End theater district to redesign his original musical hit “The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber” and bring it to OU. More than a hundred singers, dancers and actors auditioned for the production last fall, according to the university.

The all-student cast includes the OU Symphony Orchestra, Combined Choirs, dancers, actors, soloists and even a children’s choir. Together they will perform songs from 16 of the Webber works that won Tony, Grammy and Academy awards. A song never performed in the U.S. before will also be part of the production.

“The production will feature an advanced the-

projections that will illuminate the soloists during the performance.

Many familiar faces from University Theatre productions are featured cast members including Adams, Jammie Walker, Adriana Hicks, Emily Luhrs, Kristina Love, Damian Chambers and Sophie Menas. Students from across the university are participating as soloists, dancers, actors and choir members including Teddy Crecelius, Jordan Killion, Kaley McCoy and others students from the School of Music.

‘Limitless’ is stylish and clever

pop

friday, march 18, 2011

Also opening

By Cary Darling McClatchy Newspapers

The red pill or the blue pill?

That question, posed in “The Matrix,” is so last century.

In “Limitless,” a nifty, stylish little exercise in drugfueled paranoia from director Neil Burger (“Interview with the Assassin”), it’s the clear pill that raises a different question: If the apple from the tree of knowledge fell right into your lap, would you take a bite? And then what would you do?

The apple in this case is an illicit designer drug, NZT, and thirtysomething slacker Eddie Mora (Bradley Cooper) — a divorced writer with a terminal case of writer’s block, a guy who was just dumped by his most recent girlfriend (Abbie Cornish) because he’s going nowhere at the speed of light — unexpectedly finds himself in possession of a stash of the stuff. Now, NZT isn’t just another quick high.

Instead, as Eddie finds out, it makes a lie of the old saying that we only use 20 percent of our brains and cranks that percentage up to 100.

Suddenly, Eddie — seducing the worlds of writing, women and Wall Street — has got massive amounts of game and brains, attracting the attention of both barons of the boardroom like Carl Van Loon (Robert DeNiro), bullies on

Robert De Niro and Bradley Cooper are shown in a scene from “Limitless.” the street like Russian mobster Gennady (Andrew Howard), and some mysterious third guy who keeps giving him the side eye and chasing him around Manhattan.

And did someone mention side effects? Baby, this apple bites back. This is where Eddie might be starting to realize that getting really smart really quickly may have been a dumb thing to do.

It’s good to see Cooper — usually seen in raunch (“The Hangover”) and rom-coms (“Wedding Crashers,” “He’s

Just Not That Into You,” “Valentine’s Day”) — stretching, and not just skating by on his looks. By contrast, DeNiro merely has to look pained

much of the time.

Based on the novel “The Dark Fields” by Alan Glynn and directed with a nimble efficiency and sense of visual humor by Burger that is at times reminiscent of the work of Danny Boyle (“127 Hours,” “Slumdog Millionaire”), Limitless never takes itself too seriously but still manages to be suspenseful and clever.

Burger has opened up what was a very interior book and injected it with a jolt of cinematic electricity.

Smart move, smart movie.

When you’re really good at something, the time comes when the ghosts of your earlier accomplishments are your toughest competition. The English comedy team Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, who brilliantly satirized zombie movies in “Shaun of the Dead” and buddy-cop flicks in “Hot Fuzz,” gave audiences huge laughs, and gave themselves a hard act to follow.

The pair’s third film, “Paul,” suffers by comparison. The film feels episodic, haphazard, more hit-and-miss onslaught than hilarious marksmanship. It pays homage to science fiction, manhunts, road movies, stoner comedies and fanboy culture. The in-jokes come fast and scattershot, citing “Battlestar Galactica,” “Aliens” and all things Spielberg. But the film loses it with strained references to “Titanic,” “The Blues Brothers” and even the incest documentary “Capturing the Friedmans.”

Rather than driving the story, Pegg and Frost become bystanders in a story about a runaway extraterrestrial.

Missteps aside, there are lots of good ideas packed into the movie. Cool dude Paul (voiced, of course, by Seth Rogen ) is quite comfortable with human culture; he’s more down-to-earth than his British guardians. The culture clashes in this fishout-of-water story are nicely handled. The script’s saber-sharp atheist humor puts a nervy jolt of social satire in the mix. Yet viewers who know what happened to the Bible’s Paul during his long-ago road trip will appreciate an added layer of irony in the film.

Rated R for language including sexual references, and some drug use.
