COVER ART: Gallery 123, a new Norman artists’ co-op gallery, is set to have its grand opening during the Second Friday Circuit of Art in April. The gallery is in the upstairs section of 123 E. Main St. (cover photo provided by Almira Hill Grammer)

There aren’t many years as jampacked with historical events as 1969. That was the year Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. Richard Nixon took office. In Washington, D.C., 250,000 people rallied to protest the Vietnam War. The trial for the notorious Chicago Seven began and Woodstock attracted 350,000 music fans to a field in upstate New York. With the world changing so quickly, how did the typical family, steeped in pre-WWII traditions and morals, adapt? “Falling Angels” (2003), a superb character-driven Canadian import, takes a look at what happened away from all the sensational ’69 headlines, as one crumbling family tries to adjust. Our story takes place in Toronto, where we meet the Field family, a dysfunctional unit if ever there was one. Jim Field (Callum Keith Rennie), a former military man, is a big drinker with an explosive temper who runs his split-level home like a drill sergeant. His wife, Mary (Miranda Richardson), once a successful dancer, spends her days in an alcohol stupor, watching TV

Forgotten Video and rarely moving from the living room sofa. It’s up to the Field daughters to run the house. The eldest, high school senior Norma (Monté Gagné), quietly accepts the lion’s share of the burden, tending to Mary’s needs without complaint. Homely, friendless and painfully shy, Norma doesn’t mind looking after her mother. Besides, it pleases her father — and Norma is definitely a daddy’s girl. Lou (Katherine Isabelle), the middle child, is definitely not. Lou hates her father. She hates her mother, too for being such a worthless lush, but she hates her father more. Sandy (Kristin Adams), the baby of the family, is a pink sugarplum. Although women are starting to become more independent, Sandy wants no part of liberation. Sandy just wants to get married. She makes her own clothes and loves her home economics class. There are no family dinners or outings at the Field home (unless you count a disastrous twoweek stay in Jim’s bomb shelter in the

back yard). They didn’t start out like this, though. Fourteen years ago, everything was relatively normal, until a tragic event changed the family dynamic forever — an event that won’t stay buried, no matter how hard Jim and Mary try to keep it that way. There isn’t much of a plot to “Falling Angels;” it’s more like a window opening to the past to let us observe the Fields during a few crucial months in their lives. That world isn’t like the one Jim and Mary grew up in; it includes drugs and sex, which all three Field girls experience in some way. Unlike most movies set in the ’60s, which tend to focus on hippies and radicals, “Falling Angels” is a much more realistic look at what was going on back then in the “average” family. The cast is excellent, and the sets and costumes are wonderfully accurate, down to the smallest detail. “Falling Angels” is billed as a dark comedy, and while I did laugh at a few of the memories, it’s more bittersweet than funny. However, the ending is filled with hope for the future. You can find “Falling Angels” (unrated, although not for kids) free online at Hulu.com. Check it out.

On the cover Local artists gear up for gallery opening By Aaron Wright

Sue Schofield’s A Pear is a Pear is pictured. Schofield, along with other area artists, will have work on display at Gallery 123, a new Norman artists’ co-op gallery.

pop editor

Local artist Deborah Brackenbury thinks art should be comfortable and accessible for everyone. “I don’t think art has to be elitist or exclusive,” she said, as she stood in a newly renovated store that will soon serve as what she hopes will be a casual gallery for 10 local artists. Gallery 123, a new Norman artists’ co-op gallery, is set to have its grand opening during the Second Friday Circuit of Art in April. The gallery is in the upstairs section of 123 E. Main St., above Forward Foods. The gallery will feature a variety of work, said Sue Schofield, another artist whose work will be featured. Schofied noted that paintings and sculptures will mingle with quilts, mixed-media works and crafts. Prices of art in the studio will range from about $20 to several hundred dollars. Schofield admitted that it will take some creative arranging to fit the art in the room, which seems small to accommodate 10 artists, but believes that with proper layout, it will seem like a festive gallery instead of a cluttered one. “We’ll be able actually to get quite a bit of work in without it

getting too crowded,” Schofield said. “Maybe,” Brackenbury replied with a laugh after a brief pause. “The walls will be full,” said Kiki Hiott, another artist in the co-op. More than just displaying art, the artists are hoping to engage community members interested in the art process. Schofield said the gallery will be a showroom and a working art space so people will be able to see the artists create their pieces, with the opportunity to ask questions throughout the

process. Besides the set studio hours, anytime an artist is working, they will be asked to keep the studio open. For most of the artists, this is their first opportunity to have work in a store front. In the past, the artists have set up on sidewalks during events or sold their work online. The gallery concept came together quickly for the artists. At the end of January, Schofield and Hiott learned about the space and viewed it. In February, the participating artists were identified and an organizational meeting was

held. The lease was signed in March. “Norman needs something like this,” said Schofield, kicking off a conversation among a few of the artists about how to make Norman more of an arts destination. Schofield said more visible studio space is a major lacking aspect to help Norman achieve the status. 123 Gallery’s regular hours will be 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday; 4 to 8 p.m. Friday and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday. The grand opening will be 6 to 10 p.m. April 9.

Chuck Allen Floyd has done Norman proud By Andrew W. Griffin

Andrew W. Griffin

FYI

pop reviewer

reddirtreporter@gmail.com “Good On The Inside” Chuck Allen Floyd (Chief Tecumseh) 2010 Norman-based country musician and singer-songwriter Chuck Allen Floyd is a fairly new name on the Texas/Red Dirt country music scene, but after what I’ve heard on his new album “Good On the Inside,” this cat is the real deal. Having spent some time in Nashville learning the trade and talking to people in the know, Floyd

saw an opportunity to return to Oklahoma and develop his own sound and plug into the scene here. And, as noted in an interview Floyd did last month here in pop, he and his band, the Liars Club, are starting to get some serious attention in country music circles, particularly after the release of his second album “Good On the Inside.” “I Love You Drunk,” which is already climbing up the Texas Country Music chart, is a twangy, country-fied party song that will

appeal to pool hall denizens and fans of Joe Nichols and Blake Shelton. Floyd co-wrote it with Matt Nolen, a Texas musician who tours with John Fogerty. The oh-so-cool “Drivin’ My Life Away,” the 1980 countrypolitan hit for Eddie Rabbitt (and covered ably by Rhett Akins for the “Black Dog”

soundtrack in 1998), is covered here by Floyd and does it ever sound fresh and crisp. Great choice. “Nothing But Hard Times,” with its country-tinged folk-blues feel, shows Floyd’s rootsier side.This one is a particular highlight, with it’s mandolin flourishes and melancholy vibe. Humble roots don’t prevent the book-eschewing, honky tonk lovin’ guy from taking the world by storm with his country music on the swampy-rock of “Worldwide.” The more thoughtful “Wishing He Was You” takes to heart the idea that “the grass is always greener on the other side” isn’t always true.This acoustic-heavy track really allows

Floyd’s voice to come through clearly. Reminding me a bit of Randy Travis or even Lyle Lovett, Floyd has a bit of biting humor, set against an almost jazzy country song called “Black Roses.” Again, Floyd’s vocals prove him to be a real professional. Floyd closes out the album with the spare, acoustic track “All This Love,” a song simply bursting at the seams with heartfelt honesty. “Good On the Inside” is a dynamite album. Chuck Allen Floyd is a great singer, songwriter and from what I hear, performer. He’s done Norman proud. Grade — A E-mail Andrew W. Griffin at reddirtreporter@gmail.com.

‘Believe: The Eddie Izzard Story’ captures life of comedian By Kelsey MartynFarewell

Kelsey MartynFarewell

pop reviewer

“Believe: The Eddie Izzard Story” is a documentary about the life of British comedian and actor Eddie Izzard. As one of my favorite comedians of all time, of course, I loved this film. However, even if you aren’t a fan of Izzard’s or didn’t even know who he is, you will become a fan by the end. While I knew most of Izzard’s comedy sketches, there was quite a bit of new information from his childhood and early career that I wasn’t aware of. There are some great interviews with Izzard’s father and various friends he performed with over the years. Izzard talks about the death of his mother at a young age and how that led to a life in boarding school. He also explores how he came to be a transvestite. I particularly enjoyed the segment in the film that showed the progression of Izzard’s performance attire.

DVDs On Parade

As he hadn’t come out publicly as a transvestite until his career started to break out, his early performances both on the street and for his stand up were in bad 1980s and 1990s fashions that are quite funny, especially in comparison with his performance garb in his current stand up work that is quite glamorous. I was impressed with the amount of stock video footage Izzard had from his childhood and school years. He had family videos and

original performances that were gems to watch. I absolutely adored the video from his street performing days. The footage of his mother is especially beautiful and a wonderful addition to the emotional range of the documentary. In the many interview segments with Izzard, he discusses the difficulties in his professional and personal life. I was unaware that the big gap between his comedy performances in more recent years was a direct reaction to people criticizing that he had nothing new to say in his routines. I was surprised that the film didn’t show more about his life as an actor. With a critically acclaimed television series, “The Riches,” as well as a few iconic roles, including a part in “Ocean’s 12” and “Ocean’s 13,” it seemed natural to me that it would be a focus of the film.

However, the absence of this emphasis is perhaps meant to say that Izzard truly thinks of himself as a comedian first. One thing that can happen in biography films is a failure to capture the attention of the audience and maintain that connection throughout the film. That is not the case here. With catchy editing and the story told in Izzard’s own voice, the film moves at a good pace and kept me interested. Special Features on the DVD include “The Infamous ‘Wolves’ Sketch” in its entirety, an interview segment called “Vince Henderson on Street Performing & Early Eddie,” and “Teddy Theatre” in which Izzard acts out various moments of his life with his teddy bear. For a documentary that is funny and enlightening about the life of one of the best comics in the world today, check out “Believe: The Eddie Izzard Story” today. You can find it in your local store’s new releases

section. Please send your comments, questions, and DVD

Album is something to talk about By Doug Hill pop reviewer

The Watson Twins Talking To You, Talking To Me Vanguard Records Thirty-something Chandra and Leigh Watson are, in fact, identical twins who at times seem to share one silvery set of vocal cords. At other times their voices are undeniably and separately distinctive. This is the Twins’ fifth album in less than four years, and it’s an exciting example of the 21st century American folk music revival. The Watsons’ first record was with Rilo Kiley’s Jenny Lewis and was titled “Rabbit Fur Coat.” Here

they expand folk to include jazz, soul and country inflections. Gritty keys, wicked guitar solo and provocative vocals in “Midnight” throb toward a witching hour climax. Tunes such as “Savin’ You” and “Brave One” recall pop darlings Petula Clark and Marianne Faithfull from another generation. “Snow Canyons” could be old school hayseed radio minus the twangy steel guitar. The

Twins’ close harmony is finer than frog hair on “Tell Me Why,” sweeter than Maker’s Mark for breakfast. Kentucky born and bred, The Watsons’ home base is now Los Angeles and this disc has no particular Southern orientation. It’s a sophisticated sound that will undoubtedly captivate listeners around the globe. “Talking To You, Talking To Me” is all I can seem to talk about. hillreviews@hotmail.com
