Sam Rockwell shines in mysterious, emotional ‘Moon’

By Mary Anne Hemp

MaryAnneHempe

For POP

The fabulous Sam Rockwell usually plays oddballs in his movies; some of them sweet and goofy, like Guy Fleegman in “Galaxy Quest,� and some of them downright terrifying, like Wild Bill Wharton in “The Green Mile.� As a character actor, the 42-year-old Rockwell rarely had a chance to show audiences his full range until British director Duncan Jones wisely cast him as the lead in 2009’s mysterious and emotional sci-fi drama “Moon.�

Our story takes place on the moon, sometime in the not-too-distant future. After suffering with limited power sources on Earth for decades, scientists discovered that the moon was better than a gold mine. On its dark side, the moon absorbs abundant rays from the sun, producing Helium3, a substance which now provides over 70 percent of the earth’s power.

With funding from Lunar

Forgotten Video Industries, a spacious moon base was established, complete with harvesters to mine the Helium-3, and a friendly computer named GERTY (voiced by Kevin Spacey). The system is almost completely automated, requiring only one human to make sure the precious Helium-3 is loaded and sent to Earth on schedule.

That sole human is Sam Bell (Rockwell), who’s just two weeks short of fulfilling his three-year contract.

Three years alone might be a bit too long, though. Despite GERTY’s companionship and several crafts and activities designed to keep him sane, Sam is on the verge of cracking up.

He misses his wife Tess and baby daughter Eve terribly; the latest transmission from earth shows a little girl who’s talking now, and Sam has missed it all.

He’s getting sick, too, suffering from a low-grade fever and some disturbing hallucinations. Sam doesn’t feel comfortable sharing those visions with GERTY, who seems to be acting a bit strange himself lately. Maybe it’s just Sam’s imagination. After all, GERTY’s mission is to protect him and care for him; GERTY can even cut Sam’s hair and blow it dry. They’re on the same team.

Still, something isn’t quite right at the old moon base, leaving Sam with an uneasy feeling as he goes out to check on a harvester one day.

Traveling across the moon’s barren surface, Sam is startled to see another vision – shortly before crashing his rover.

When he wakes up, he’s back at the base, where GERTY calmly tells him he’s been in an accident and suffered a concussion. Sam doesn’t remember a thing; not the crash, being brought back to the base, nothing. He does know there’s something out there, though. Something he wasn’t supposed to see. GERTY refuses to let

Rest assured, all your questions will be answered. To tell you any more right now would ruin a terrific twist.

I can tell you that there are no monsters, no aliens and no explosions — just superb acting and a great story.

Rockwell is Oscar-worthy as Sam Bell; other than a few videos of people from Earth and GERTY’s voice (inspired by HAL 9000 from “2001: A Space Odyssey,� although very much unlike HAL when it comes to the mission), it’s a one-man show and Rockwell shows he’s more than capable of carrying a movie by himself.

‘Bridesmaids is pure comedy with low-brow twist

By Christopher Kelly

MOVIE REVIEW

McClatchy Newspapers

A movie about getting older, going nowhere and watching your closest friends drift away, “Bridesmaids” is a screwball farce with a core of anguish; it’s comedy of the purest kind, about a clown who weeps on the inside.

“Saturday Night Live” star Kristen Wiig plays Annie, a Milwaukee woman whose bakery went down in the recession and whose boyfriend walked out on her. She now works at a jewelry store, trying to manufacture enthusiasm when all she feels is despair. Her current love interest (Jon Hamm) looks upon her as little more than a sex buddy.

And the ultimate indignity, at least for a woman pushing 40 in a society that equates marriage with personal success: Her best friend since childhood, Lillian (Maya Rudolph), has just announced she

is getting married, and she wants Annie to be her maid of honor.

You don’t need to know women stuck in the same lousy boat as Annie to appreciate the truths of “Bridesmaids.”

Written by Wiig and Annie Mumolo, and briskly directed by Paul Feig (creator of TV’s “Freaks and Geeks”), the movie also explores the universal (and genderneutral) anxieties of adult friendship, how we constantly compare ourselves to those with whom we’re closest, and how we’re worried that they might turn us in for a more promising model.

With its casual profanity, crude sex gags and eccentric supporting players, “Bridesmaids” has been labeled “the female ’Hangover,”’ a convenient way for the studio to distinguish it from saccharine best-friends-in-wedding-hell movies like “Bride Wars” and last week’s

“Something Borrowed.”

One of the producers of the film is Judd Apatow, and “Bridesmaids” certainly strives for the same mixture of the deeply lowbrow and the humane that you find in such Apatow pictures as “The 40 Year Old Virgin” and “Knocked Up”. Indeed, when Annie and company all get food poisoning simultaneously while at a fancy bridal shop, the humor turns almost maniacally scatological.

The film is beautifully cast, with superb actresses playing Lillian’s other bridesmaids. As for Wiig, she relies a little too much on her “Saturday Night Live” shtick. But there’s real pathos to her portrait of Annie, who wonders how low you have to sink before you’ve officially hit rock bottom. You get the sense that she knows women like this well.

With “Bridesmaids,” she pays terrific tribute to these women, by reminding them of the age-old value of laughing through your heartbreak.

Riverwind to host showcase for new local country artists

By Andrew W. Griffin For Pop

Riverwind Casino, in conjuction with Oklahoma’s New Country 93.3 Jake FM, is hosing the “New Face Showcase” on Wednesday, May 18 and features five new artists worth paying attention to.

“Lee Brice will be headlining the event,” said Kevin Christopher, spokesman for Jake FM. “The intent of the show is to showcase the new faces of country. And it’s an acoustic show.”

Christopher said this “New Face Showcase” is a free show and is “unique to the market” and was the brainchild of Jake FM. “It’s a free show. Have to have a ticket to get in,” Christopher said. “If you want to get a good seat, get their early.”

First, as Kevin Christopher noted, South Carolina native

Lee Brice will be performing a series of his own songs, which include everything from “Upper Middle Class White Trash” to his Top 5 Country hit “Love Like Crazy.”

Brice is a well-respected songwriter in Nashville, having co-written Garth Brooks’ 2007 hit “More Than a Memory” and songs for everyone including Cowboy Crush and Jason Aldean.

The Arkansas-based country trio Edens Edge will also be performing at the “New Face Showcase.” The group, which includes singer Hannah Blaylock, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Cherrill Green and vocalist and guitarist Dean Berner, have been garnering some serious attention including some for their new song “Amen” and plan to tour with Brad Paisley this summer.

Singer-songwriter Ashton Shepherd, originally from Alabama and who just recorded a new tune called “I’m Just

a Woman,” will be releasing a new album in July and is part of the “New Face Showcase.”

Shepherd’s style has been compared to the more “inyour-face” style of established country women like Miranda Lambert and Gretchen Wilson.

With a pretty face that reminds one of one of the Judds, Sunny Sweeney is a Texas gal who is an up-andcoming singer-songwriter who has just recorded a video for her new song “Staying’s Worse Than Leaving,” which is on her five-song EP which is out now.

And finally, Alabama native Jacob Lyda, who sounds a bit like Josh Turner or even a little like Alan Jackson, has just released his smooth country single “I’m Doing Alright.”

Doors open at 6 p.m. and the show kicks off at 7 p.m.

Cover Story

My So-Called Band brings back the days of ‘dude’

By Kendall Brown Arts and Entertainment Writer

There exists a place, deep in the heart of Norman, where time has stopped.

Children in Starter Jackets gather around a campfire and ask one another ‘Are You Afraid of the Dark?’

Everyone owns at least one Tamagotchi, fourteen slap bracelets, and about a million pogs (designer slammers included.) Boys drool over Kelly Kapowski, girls over Zach Morris, and everyone is genuinely concerned when Jessie gets addicted to caffeine pills.

In this place, My SoCalled Band is king.

The ’90s cover band, formed as a side project by musicians originally hailing from the Evangelicals, the Workweek, and the Pidgin Band, began as a joke, but quickly took Norman by storm.

“We would get together and hang out at Othello’s comedy night and at some point we decided we were going to start a ’90s cover band as a joke,” Kyle Davis said. “We just kept coming up with really awesome songs we would want to play.”

Their first show, less than a year ago at The Deli, developed a line down the block by the beginning of their set and the band soon had to move to larger venues to accommodate the crowds.

“By the third show we had a line down the street before we even started,” Davis said. “It kind of sucks to have all these people that want to see us, and they can’t get in.”

The band debated on several ’90’s pop culturerelated band names, including Nirvana White, Titanic,

If you go ...

What: My So-Called Band

When: 9:30 p.m. Friday (3-hour set)

Where: The Brewhouse Tickets: $7 and White Ford Bronco before deciding on My SoCalled Band, a play on the teen television drama “My So-Called Life.”

And the band members are serious about their ’90s pop culture. In fact, since forming they have learned enough songs to nearly fill three separate, unique threehour sets. Because of this extensive repertoire, fans are guaranteed to hear a wide range of music, including the good, the bad, and the ugly of ’90s music.

“There are a couple of songs we like to have in every set just because they’re really fun and the crowd’s really into them,” Davis said. “We also have songs that the crowd really hates but we still want to play them sometimes. They came to see a ’90s cover band. You have to take the good with the bad, you know? Sometimes if you’re going to hear ‘No Rain’ you have to also sit through ‘Tub Thumping.’

But for all their talk of playing songs the crowd hates, at their shows there seems to be no room for anything but a good time in the crowd. Within the first few chords of most songs a collective gasp can be heard from fans as they recognize the song and soon everyone is moving to the beat and singing along. The band members attribute this to listening to crowd requests.

“Whenever people find out that you’re a ’90s cover

band, they’re like ‘Do you play this? Do you play this?’” band member Carly Gwin said. “Now we’re at the point where we can say ‘yeah’ or we can say ‘not that song but a different song by that band.’

Everyone has a ’90s song that we should play.”

That band — audience interaction is something that My So-Called Band is all about, and it reflects in their performances. By the end of the night, fans are exhausted from dancing, drinking, and singing along.

The beginning of shows, unlike the end however, can be a bit nerve-wracking.

“It is a bit of a challenge to get people into it,” Davis said. “It’s a little nerdy, playing ’90s songs, but I think we do them pretty well. If people are in the moment they tend to have a pretty good time and eventually get up there and start dancing and acting a fool. That’s our goal. That’s what we want — people to cut loose a little bit.”

The band’s next performance will be at the Brewhouse tonight at 9:30 p.m. There will be a $7 cover at the door. Band members said they’re ready for Norman to come out, have some drinks, and celebrate the simpler time of the 90’s with them. They also had one small request for fans.

“If someone could find some Crystal Pepsi and let us know how to get a case of that, that’d be great,” Davis said. “Or Zima would be even better. We’ll pour it into a Super Soaker and drink it on stage. If they can get ahold of some Zima, we’ll throw down and learn whatever ’90s song they want us to learn.”

Brandon Jenkins Band to host CD release party tonight

By Doug Hill For POP

Photo Provided

Brandon Jenkins, above, Austin Gilliam and Dean Coty are performing in Norman at 8:30 tonight at Joy’s Palace, 300 E. Main St.

The last time Brandon Jenkins and his band performed in Norman, he thought they all might end up in Cleveland County Jail.

“We had just played a set at the 2009 Norman Music Festival and got pulled over on the way to our hotel after that show,” Jenkins said. “The officer came up to our van and luckily had just seen us play. She gave us a police escort to the hotel. It turned out being a lot better than going to the slammer.”

Jenkins (vocals/guitar), Austin Gilliam (bass) and Dean Coty (drums) are performing in Norman again at 8:30 tonight in Joy’s Palace, 300 E. Main. The show is a CD release party for his new album “Under the Sun.” It’s Jenkins’ 10th LP. His first was released in Oklahoma in 1994.

Austin is bass now, but the 42year-old musician’s roots reach back to the pure red dirt of Tulsa, Stillwater and Norman, where he launched his career. “‘Under The Sun’ is all original music,” Jenkins said. “There are a few co-writes with Cody Canada and Stoney Larue. The album’s single that’s getting radio play is called “Too Big to Fail.”

Although that sounds as if it might be a political protest song, which Jenkins has been known to write, it’s not. Celebrating 10 years of wedded bliss just last

month, “Too Big to Fail” is about a love that’s too massive not to succeed. Jenkins explained how he made the leap from a catch phrase that’s been used frequently during the financial crisis to one of such a personal nature.

“The way I write most of the time is sit in front of the TV and doodle with my guitar, which drives my wife crazy,” he said. “I’ll pick up on a term like that which has been everywhere.”

The resulting tender expression of affection put to music had to be a spouse-pleaser.

“Actually she said, ‘Thanks for comparing me to the economic downfall of our country,’” Jenkins said with a chuckle.

Not all of his compositions are joyful; many examine life’s tough challenges and setbacks.

“For some reason, sad and dark songs have always come easy to me,” he said. “When you’re happy and in a good mood, there are other things to do than write a song.”

Unlike some, Jenkins’ songs are written from personal experience.

He’s found that aspect of his career, including being in touch with his emotions, has gotten easier with maturity.

“The musician lifestyle of traveling every week is harder,” he said. “Last week, when the record came out, they had me running all over doing morning TV shows, then interviews in the afternoon and drive-time to a show that

night.”

Jenkins’ CD promotional tour includes Texas and Oklahoma but is also taking him out of the lower 48 states.

“Next month we’re playing the North to Alaska music festival in Sitka, and in August we’re going to Europe,” he said. “Up north we’ll salmon fish during the day and perform at night.”

Jenkins said he is definitely an Okie and misses friends and family here. The problem is he’s found that to make a living in his profession, Tulsa just doesn’t have Austin’s resources or opportunities. His song “Anymore” expresses some of the resulting frustration.

“The original emotion of that song was about leaving home,” he said. “Tulsa is a big music city but I was beating my head against the wall there for so many years.”

Jenkins felt that to get the respect he deserved would entail striking out in a place that wasn’t home.

“I had to leave home and do my own thing to find the things that make me happy,” he said.

“But when I come back to Tulsa and play a big, sold-out show at Cain’s Ballroom, a place where I would go as a child, it feels good.”

Jenkins is going to be looking for some Okie love tonight from his Norman audience, including the Police Department should he encounter them again.
