I
know our cover story (and a lot of this issue) deals with movies, but I’m gonna talk about music for a minute. Any NPR Music nerd knows the name Bob Boilen. He runs All Songs Considered, Tiny Desk shows and has a hand in caroling album debuts with today’s biggest musicians. Boilen also sees more concerts than any human being ever. In 2015, he saw 506 shows. A lot of those are festival sets, but it’s still unbelievable to think he was at a concert almost every day last year. It’s enough to make me want to start a slow clap. I started keeping track of my con-
cert intake, and I’ve caught about a dozen concerts so far in 2016. Nothing too crazy. That amount will no doubt increase as the year picks up and the new venues develop in Bricktown. That’s going to be quite the experiment. Will enough people make going to concerts a part of their entertainment diet? How big is our appetite? Will the bookings be enough to get people excited? I’m no stranger to driving to Tulsa for concerts. I actually enjoy it. Why? Because there’s a really great, tight-knit music community there. Different restaurants and bars, too. An alternate vibe lives just two hours away. I’m glad for it. I don’t want it to go away. Rather, I’d like Oklahoma City to develop its own identity. I was texting with our pop music critic Matt Carney, and he shared the sentiment. Who knows how these new concerts will do? I’m just excited to wait and see. Also, I’m ready to boost my concert numbers. Enough music. We’ve got a lot of great movie content in this issue. Our 2016 preview will get you excited about the next few months while our Top 10 movies of 2015 will hopefully get you prepped for the Oscars and some other gems. Oh, and there’s some Okies with Oscar connections. I’d love for them to head home with a naked gold man. Thanks for reading. See you next month.

or two years, we’ve followed Drink & Draw at Tree & Leaf Clothing, 1705B NW 16th St. The pressure-free drawing sessions were born in Dusty Gilplin’s living room and now take place every other Thursday at his clothing store in the Plaza District. Check out the next one Jan. 28. I love this project because it’s an ongoing conversation with the arts community and anyone is welcome to join. You don’t even need to bring a beverage. Just grab some paper and pencils. However, one thing is changing. The Drink & Draw challenge is retiring and instead we’re trying to feature the work of regular artists who show up at 7 p.m. Thursdays. First up is Cody Hampton who also has an art show Feb. 12 inside of Tree & Leaf. It’s during Live on the Plaza. Check him out. Q: What’s the happiest you’ve been with an artistic creation that you’ve made or collaborated on? Cody Hampton: I’ve been drawing for about as long as I could hold a pencil, but I’ve only been doing commissions for about a year or so. My first paid commission was one for my aunt

and uncle to hang in their house. I really enjoyed taking their idea and turning it into what they wanted. Then, seeing it framed and hung gave me so much satisfaction. It made me happy that someone would actually want to spend their hard earned money on my art. Q: Tell me an advantage to being an Oklahoma City-based artist. Also, let’s get real, tell me a disadvantage or something you’d like to see change. Hampton: An advantage of being an artist in OKC is that there’s such a broad diversity of people that live here. That diversity breeds many different backgrounds, styles and ways of making art. With all those things, there’s so much that can be learned. Another thing is that it seems like everybody is excited about what’s going on in our city. One disadvantage is that though we do have many arts districts and communities, there aren’t many in the upper northwest part of town. Q: Talk me about why you come to Drink &
LOOKATOKC.COM
Draw. What keeps you coming back and what would you like to see happen? Hampton: I’ve been attending Drink & Draw for about three years or so. Much of my artistic growth and progression has come from it. I enjoy it because it’s a place you can go to forget about your troubles and just draw. There is also a community of like-minded people that will critique, discuss and help you without judgement. We’re all just artists trying to improve our craft, and help others do the same. It’s also pretty fun. Something I would like to see is a greater diversity in the age of attendees. There are things that older, more experienced artists can teach us. Also, the word “drink” is in our name, but we’d love to have some younger folks too. All ages are welcome. Q: A lot of artists have day jobs and don’t get to spend all their time working on what they’d like. How do you balance art and commerce? Is that a sacrifice for you? Hampton: I am one of those artists with a day
job. Sometimes I find it hard to come home and make art for four to six hours after I’ve been at work all day. If I can’t do that, I try to at least draw something. Even if it’s just a doodle, the best way to progress in anything, especially drawing, is to do it every day. Q: If you were a hotdog, would you eat yourself? Hampton: As long as I was smothered in plenty of cheese and ketchup, of course. Q: What’s something you can tell us about one of your pieces you’re proud of? Hampton: I’m not one that usually puts a whole lot of meaning in my art. I just draw what I like. I like zombies, aliens, and weird, gross stuff. The nasty Ratzilla drawing came from doing an event on Instagram called Inktober in which you do a different inking every day in October. It’s just fun and gross, and it’s an original character that I love to draw time and time again.

Y
o La Tengo has been at it for more than 30 years. The band was born in Hoboken, N.J., and has churned out quirky, quiet releases with long-lasting shelf lives. Music critics find a lot to love in the band’s mixture of soft, sensitive sounds and the expeditious guitar noise. In 2015, Yo La Tengo released “Stuff Like That There,” a spiritual sequel to “Fakebook,” which largely contains cover songs and some re-imagined versions of their own tracks. The band is returning to Oklahoma City after a long dry spell, having last played in the city at VZD’s in 1992.
Frontman Ira Kaplan says fans can expect two sets Feb. 4, an acoustic one and an electric one. Kaplan, 59, spoke with LOOKatOKC about the band’s relationship with cover songs and a lot more. Q: How does Yo La Tengo approach a cover song? Does it change depending on what song you’re gonna tackle? Ira Kaplan: You know, I’m not so sure. I have no idea how to answer that. We just play (laughs) and sound good or try to steer it into sounding good. I think that’s true with the songs we write and the songs we cover. ... That’s a harder question to answer than I thought it was gonna be.
Q: Does your relationship with a song change after you cover it, put it on an album and make it a permanent part of your discography? Kaplan: Yes. Definitely. I mean oddly, in some ways, it makes it less likely that we’re gonna play it live. Not right now, though, because it’s the theme of the songs from the new record, but sometimes there’s something that we think cover songs provide to the set and when it’s a song from one of our records, it’s a little different than a song that’s a little more pulling out of the air. When we’re in Oklahoma City we’re gonna do a quiet set and a loud set, and the quiet set will undoubtedly feature a few songs from “Stuff Like That There” but at a certain point those songs JUMP TO PAGE 12

Music feature YB OA NL DA TT IETNL GE O, ‘ A L B U M T I T L E ’ require some research. Q: I noticed you covered Antietam on the new album. Yo La Tengo played its first show with that band in 1984. How vividly do you remember that night? Kaplan: Pretty strongly. We were actually just doing some organizing, posters and things and came across a file that they scanned for us. It was the invitation to that party. I remember the terror of playing. We had played before and, as you said, primarily we had done cover songs, and I think prior to the first Yo La Tengo show we had probably played two songs we wrote and played them once each, so even though the first show with Antietam was still 50 percent cover songs. We were putting ourselves forward in a way that we never had before. I remember just the terror of doing that and then the discovery of playing to a room of your friends and your family, which you think would be easier, is actually much harder. ... You feel like you’ve assembled a room full of people who see through you. Strangers, they don’t know any better. Q: I understand that growing up in Croton, New York, you had a strong connection to early folk music and you even bummed a ride from Arlo Guthrie. What was that like? Kaplan: It wasn’t long, the ride. It was just kind of up the hill of a short steep hill that people would wait at the bottom of. I was going farther but he wasn’t, so it was really kinda just enough time to sit there and to go, “Oh my God. Oh my God. I’ve gotta get out of the car.” My personality was never such that I would have tried to start up a conversation. It was funny. I was recently thinking about Arlo Guthrie. I found myself in a scenario where I needed to bring trash to the dump and it was unexpectedly closed and I was wondering if I was in the parking lot up from “Alice’s Restaurant.”

may end up fading from the repertoire.
and that’s more interesting and makes the whole experience of making music more interesting.
Q: Do you put any more value in the original songs you write over the cover songs? Kaplan: We certainly value it differently and, in a certain sense, I think I would be ingenuous if I said that we don’t value them more. I think we do value the original songs more but I think that, in a certain way, is a part of the appeal of doing cover songs and doing even a record that’s built around cover songs is that you approach things differently and so whether we value one more than the other to me is not that important. As the approach gets modified the results are different
Q: You’ve been covering songs before you married Georgia Hubley and played as Georgia and Those Guys. You recently made a Spotify list that features about 200 songs you’ve covered. Do you have any idea how many songs you’ve covered as a band? Kaplan: No. (Laughs) I keep lots of lists of stuff we’ve done, but since I’ve never noted on those lists songs that are covers, I would have to go through and count them. There’s a few lists I have which are songs we’ve gone at any given Hanukkah, and then they’ll be separated, but it would

Q: What aspects of either touring or making music are still fun for you after doing this for so many years? Kaplan: Most of it. As I said in a clearly different context, my personality is not such that I would have started chattering away to Arlo Guthrie. I think similarly, in a way, being interviewed is really not, it’s something I do as kind of part of the job and I think when the band was forming, it was probably such a novelty that somebody wanted to talk to me, to talk to us. ... But playing and touring remains fun. Really, I love doing it and it does change. You know the tour we did with Dave (Schramm) last year was really unlike anything else we’ve ever done. I don’t think that’s something we set out to do to keep ourselves interested by finding something different, but I think it’s a consequence of how much we enjoy it and how engaged we are that we’re always finding a new way to do it.

TOP 10 confidence begins to blossom. She meets a feckless young Italian plumber named Tony (Emory Cohen) who is openly smitten with her, and after a brief courtship he wins her heart and they secretly marry. But a tragic family event calls her back to Ireland, and while there she meets and becomes infatuated with an upper-class girlhood acquaintance (Domhnall Gleeson), and she must choose between two men and two countries. This is an elegantly crafted piece full of authentic-looking period detail, topped off by Ronan’s performance, an amazing display of emotionally controlled yet heartbreaking honesty that has already enthralled moviegoers and critics alike, earning her well-deserved Golden Globe, Oscar and SAG nominations for best actress. — Gene Triplett
Our 10 favorite films of 2015
2
015 was a big year for movies. Just check the receipts. North America scored more than $11 billion worth of ticket sales last year. A lot of that wealth can be attributed to big budget crowd pleasers like “Jurassic World” and “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” The top 10 films this year grossed more than onethird of the total box office. However, there were many quieter films that emerged in 2015. Those ended up being a lot of our favorites. Between my co-workers and Oklahoma Film Critics Circle members James Cooper and Gene Triplett, there was a lot to love. All five of us picked two of our favorite movies. Here’s what caught our attention last year. — Nathan Poppe, LOOKatOKC editor ‘THE BIG SHORT’ None of the prestige pictures unleashed during awards season made me laugh out loud so hard or grit my teeth in fury so often as “The Big Short,” the big-screen adaptation of Michael Lewis’ bestseller about the burst of the housing bubble that brought on 2008’s economic meltdown. Cannily co-written and directed by Adam McKay, best-known for helming Will Ferrell comedies like “Anchorman” and “Step Brothers,” it features a powerhouse ensemble cast including Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Brad Pitt, Marisa Tomei and former Tulsan Melissa Leo, all putting in top-notch turns, often against type. The funny, fast-paced film boldly flouts plenty of cinematic rules to explain the financial machinations that led to the economic collapse, from Gosling breaking the fourth wall to Margot Robbie

“The Big Short”
in a bubble bath defining mortgage-backed securities to Anthony Bourdain using rotten fish to clarify collateralized debt obligations. But McKay’s movie doesn’t let the fancy trappings or snappy dialogue distract from the compelling story of a bunch of misfits and weirdos who saw the housing collapse coming — or from the fact that banks are once again shilling those stinky-sushi CDOs. — Brandy McDonnell ‘BROOKLYN’ The golden reward in the beguiling story of love and separation called “Brooklyn” is the wonderfully delicate yet powerful performance by the gifted 21-year-old Saoirse Ronan as Eilis Lacy, a young immigrant struggling with severe homesickness and guilt over leaving behind her mother and older sister and a dead-end existence in Ireland to pursue more promising opportunities in the chaotic and alien world of Brooklyn, circa 1952. In this tender and tear-drenched screenplay adapted from a Colm Toibin novel by masterful British novelist/ screenwriter Nick Hornby (“High Fidelity,” “About a Boy”), and helmed with great sensitivity and emotional savvy by Irish director John Crowley (“Boy A,” “Intermission”), a shy and lonely Eilis finds modest shelter in a young girls’ boarding house run by a strict but soft-hearted house mother (Julie Walters at her edgy best), then wonders what to do next. But she finds morale-boosting support in the kindly Irish priest (Jim Broadbent) who arranged her move to America, and a sharp yet sympathetic department store supervisor (Jessica Pare) who takes the Irish lass in tow in her first job, and Eilis’
‘CREED’ “Creed” is one of 2015’s defining films, no small feat considering the year includes so many exceptional movies. Crowd-pleasing cinema at its best, “Creed” works at every level, thanks largely to Sylvester Stallone’s Oscar-nominated return as Rocky Balboa and Michael B. Jordan’s performance as Adonis, the son of Balboa’s greatest boxing rival, Apollo Creed. The good news is “Creed” is as much about boxing as it is subtly about race, class, self-discovery, family and community. Smart, funny, exciting and moving, the film feels all at once familiar and original. That’s a compliment and, for better or worse, reflective of our age of nostalgia — think “Jurassic World” and “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” — James Cooper ‘EX MACHINA’ Alex Garland has been writing some of the more compelling science fiction films of recent years with “Sunshine” and “Never Let Me Go,” among others. With “Ex Machina,” he also slides into the director’s chair with a slick, probing sci-fi thriller. Programmer Caleb Smith, played by Domhnall Gleeson, is invited by his eccentric tech genius employer, Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac), to administer the Turing test to an android (Alicia Vikander). The Turing test is a test used to see if artificial intelligence can exhibit intelligent behavior indistinguishable from that of a human. In a tale that’s “Frankenstein” meets “Her,” Caleb finds out all isn’t as it seems. And while some have criticized the film’s ending, I think it works: The movie’s ability to raise questions about technology, humanity and fantasy is chief among its strengths. — Matt Price ‘THE HATEFUL EIGHT’ The gonzo specialist in deep-dark, outrageously violent comedy thrillers plowed down conventional storytelling boundaries once again with “The Hateful Eight,” maverick writer-director Quentin Tarantino’s second venture into horse opera territory following the blockbuster success of “Django Unchained.” Complete with an LOOKATOKC.COM

movie review
2015: Well-crafted films highlight historic periods, sci-fi overture, an intermission, a musical score by spaghetti western giant Ennio Morricone, and a sprawling 70 mm road show format, this epic homage to the genre is an even crazier take on the wild and wooly West, telling a story of roughly eight unpredictable people snowbound in a claustrophobic stagecoach way station in the middle of the Wyoming nowhere. More of a who’s-gonna-do-it than a whodunnit, it’s all about ruthless female outlaw Daisy Domergue (a dirty and battered-looking Jennifer Jason Leigh at her career best) being taken to trial in Red Rock by bounty hunter John “The Hangman” Ruth (an amusingly profane and intimidating Kurt Russell), and six other strangers who just might challenge Ruth for possession of the prisoner. Along with Russell, the superb ensemble cast is made up of several other Tarantino regulars, including an imposing and hilariously vicious Samuel L. Jackson as bounty hunter Maj. Marquis Warren, Tim Roth as a sleazy professional hangman, Walton Goggins as a former militiaman who claims to be heading to Red Rock as the town’s new sheriff, and Michael Madsen as a quiet cowboy who says he’s just on his way to visit his mother, with Bruce Dern thrown in for good measure as a bitter former Confederate general. The violence is sudden and exceedingly bloody — faint of heart be forewarned — and the plot is filled with jolting surprises, making the film’s whopping 180-minutes fairly fly by. Great gritty fun if you’re so inclined. The acting is fiercely spot-on; the twists ingenious. — GT ‘IT FOLLOWS’ Like the haunting, shapeshifting creature it stars, “It Follows” lingers forever. I typically avoid horror, but this movie was too exhilarating to avoid. It’s not the jump scares that sets this horror film apart from the typical frightening fare. It’s the unsettling notion that your worst nightmare never ceases its pursuit unless you pass it on to another unfortunate soul. Yes, that makes for a bleak film, but it’s also unrelenting in its homage to 1978’s “Halloween” and creates a creepy mood. It’s not without its missteps and wonky logic, but it’ll scare you senseless. Paired with a brooding electronic soundtrack and a fresh cast of young talent, the movie hasn’t left my mind since I walked out of the theater in March. Even when the film’s breakout star Maika Monroe is surrounded by her friends, she still seems alone. As hard as her friends try to help, it’s never enough. There’s no sight of a happy ending in “It Follows.” Rather, the movie leaves you a reminder that actions have consequences and the scariest things in life just don’t disappear. That lack of fantasy at heart is a trend that reared its head in last year’s “The Babadook,” too. I like that idea. Movies don’t just live on the screen. Film LOOKATOKC.COM
can become a part of us, for better or for worse. A horror film like “Jurassic World” (yes, those bloody dinosaur epics are drenched in terror) only rattle the cages of what a scary movie can be. “It Follows” is an invitation to a smarter, cerebral film experience. I’m glad I wasn’t too scared to RSVP. — NP “The Martian”
‘THE MARTIAN’ Matt Damon is astronaut Mark Watney, stuck on Mars after a freak storm causes the rest of the Ares 3 crew to leave him for dead. While the unforgiving Martian landscape is likely to kill him, Watney uses the resources available to him to craft a way to live until he can find a way to communicate with Earth — and maybe arrange for a rescue. Despite the film primarily focusing on a mission gone wrong, it really serves as a motivational message for why humanity should explore space. Damon is charming as Watney, a botanist who uses his technical expertise to keep him alive and his sense of humor to keep himself sane. The film is based on the best-selling novel by Andy Weir, and seems on top of the science that might in fact be used in a manned Mars mission. Ridley Scott, who has directed some of the best-loved sci-fi films of all time with “Blade Runner” and “Alien,” keeps the human emotion believable throughout. — MP ‘SPOTLIGHT’ There’s a scene in “Spotlight” when a Boston Globe reporter interviews a sexual abuse victim on the balcony of an apartment. The camera slowly reveals the hulking cathedral behind the dwelling space. The shadow cast by the Roman Catholic Church is the focus of “Spotlight,” the masterful movie that retells the 2001 newspaper investigation of an unfrocked priest accused of molesting more than 80 children. My other favorite film this year also was a horror film and this almost falls into the same genre. Sure, it’s a factbased film at heart but it reveals boogeymen and monsters in a more subtle light. I might be biased toward the film because it features journalism at
its most useful (and unglamorous), but it doesn’t pull any punches on either side of the story. When veteran reporter Walter Robinson (Michael Keaton) reveals he could’ve broken the story years ago, it’s heartbreaking. So are the survivors’ stories. I love good storytelling, and “Spotlight” breaks down the cost and challenge of following a story until it’s done. The movie won’t result in any comfortable conversations, but it definitely unravels a mystery in a deliberate, intelligent way. Only one film needed to be seen this year, and this was it. A Boston Globe writer said it best when he reviewed “Spotlight”: Director “Tom McCarthy’s movie doesn’t turn its journalists into heroes. It just lets them do their jobs, as tedious and critical as those are, with a realism that grips an audience almost in spite of itself.” — NP ‘TANGERINE’ 2015’s most unique narrative film, “Tangerine” also happens to easily be one of the year’s best. Shot beautifully on an iPhone 5s, director Sean Baker’s movie about a black, transgender working girl searching the streets of LA for the pimp who cheated on her while she was in jail is relentless and hilarious. “Tangerine” is what happens when a Gregg Araki film meets “Paris Is Burning” or “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” Where “Creed” recalls “Rocky,” a movie many of us have seen, “Tangerine” is a new and welcome cinematic experience. Kitana Kiki Rodriguez and Mya Taylor — both wonderful transgender actresses — infuse every scene with urgency and vibrancy. Their work here makes “Tangerine” unforgettable. — JC ‘WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS’ A delightfully deadpan fake documentary chronicling the lives of the undead, “What We Do in the Shadows” sank its fangs into the top spot on my list of top films of 2015 last April and never let go, mostly because it’s so fresh and funny, especially for a movie about ancient bloodsuckers. Uproarious New Zealanders Jemaine Clement (HBO’s “Flight of the Conchords”) and Taika Waititi (“Green Lantern”) co-write, direct and star in the mockumentary, which taps the familiar format of MTV’s “The Real World,” the “turn it up to 11” spirit of “This Is Spinal Tap” and the blood-splattering sight gags of “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.” The pair’s straight-faced silliness and drolly clever style bring “What We Do in the Shadows” to supernatural life, but solid character development also ensures the vampire story shines with bouts of sweetness, sadness and scariness. Dead or undead, interpersonal relationship are complicated, and for an uproarious comedy about vampires, “What We Do in the Shadows” is awfully relatable to the human experience. — BM January 27 - February 9, 2016

Enid twins are among 2016 Oscar nominees By Nathan Poppe, Brandy McDonnell and AP
T
he Tinsel Twins’ film might score Oscar gold. Thad and Trent Luckinbill, of Enid, woke up to three Oscar nominations this month because of their producing effort “Sicario,” a critically lauded action thriller starring Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin and Benicio del Toro. The twin brothers helped produce “Sicario” via Black Label Media, a Los Angeles-based film finance and production company they run with Molly Smith. The film earned nominations for Sound Editing, Original Score and Cinematography. Icelandic composer Johann Johannsson was nominated for an Oscar last year for “The Theory of Everything” score and cinematographer Roger Deakins (“Skyfall,” “Fargo”) has been nominated 13 times. Sound editor Alan Robert Murray won an Oscar last year for “American Sniper.” I spoke to the brothers in 2015 about “Sicario.”

Trent Luckinbill said the film lives up to a gold standard, and he chalked up the attention to a talented crew. “It’s a beautiful thing when people recognize great work from the start,” Thad Luckinbill said. “It’s rewarding to all of us.” Thad Luckinbill noted how much work hard work goes into making a film. “It takes a long time, and it’s a long process,” Thad Luckinbill said. “When you’re sitting in the theater and you see the final product with an audience ... it’s absolutely a great feeling.” OKLAHOMA CONNECTIONS Shawnee-born superstar Brad Pitt is nominated for best picture as one of the producers of “The Big Short,” the big-screen adaptation of Michael Lewis’ best-seller about the burst of the housing bubble that brought on 2008’s economic meltdown. He and fellow “The Big Short” producers Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner earned best
picture honors in 2014 for “12 Years a Slave.” Along with best picture, “The Big Short” garnered four other nominations, including best actor for Christian Bale, best director for Adam McKay, best editing and best adapted screenplay. Tulsa native Tracy Letts, who does some acting when he’s not penning Pulitzer Prize-winning plays, and former Tulsa resident Melissa Leo, who previously co-starred with Bale in “The Fighter,” is part of the film’s all-star ensemble, along with Pitt, Ryan Gosling and Steve Carell. ‘REVENANT’ LEADS The brutal frontier saga “The Revenant” landed a leading 12 nominations for the 88th Annual Academy Awards, while the acting categories were again filled entirely by white performers. The strong showing for “The Revenant,” including a best actor nod for Leonardo DiCaprio, follows its win at the Golden Globes. It sets director Alejandro Inarritu for a possible back-to-back LOOKATOKC.COM

win following his sweep for best picture, director and screenplay for “Birdman” last year. ‘MAD MAX’ AND MORE George Miller’s post-apocalyptic sequel “Mad Max: Fury Road” followed with 10 nominations, including best picture and best director for Miller. Ridley Scott’s sci-fi epic “The Martian” landed seven nominations, including best picture and best actor for Matt Damon, but, surprisingly, no best director nod for Scott. In all, eight films were nominated for best picture. Among those left on the outside were Todd Haynes’ lesbian romance “Carol” and the N.W.A biopic “Straight Outta Compton.” The miss for “Carol” meant one usual Oscar heavyweight — Harvey Weinstein — won’t have a horse in the best picture race for the first time since 2007. The acting nominees, which notably omitted Idris Elba for “Beasts of No Nation” and Benicio Del Toro for “Sicario,” gave the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences an awkward repeat of the “OscarsSoWhite” backlash that followed last year’s acting nominees. Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs has since redoubled efforts to diversify the academy’s membership, and slated Chris Rock — who a year ago labeled Hollywood a “white industry” — to host this year’s Feb. 28 ceremony. After seemingly slipping in an unpredictable LOOKATOKC.COM
awards season, “Spotlight” showed particular strength landing six nominations including best director for McCarthy, best screenplay for Tom McCarthy and Josh Singer, best supporting actress for Rachel McAdams and best supporting actor for Mark Ruffalo. STALLONE RETURNS Sylvester Stallone, reprising his role as Rocky Balboa in “Creed,” looms large in the supporting actor category. His stiffest competition is seen as Mark Rylance, for “Bridge of Spies.” Also nominated were Tom Hardy (“The Revenant”) and Christian Bale (“The Big Short”). “I am incredibly humbled by this honor,” Stallone, first nominated for the role in 1976 for “Rocky,” wrote in an email. “I was not expecting it ... especially at this time in my life. I am certainly grateful to the artists and collaborators who helped make it possible.” Nominees for best director shunned not just one filmmaking legend in Scott, but also Spielberg. Instead, Lenny Abrahamson for “Room” was the unexpected addition, along with Adam McKay, formerly known for his broader Will Ferrell comedies, for “The Big Short.” As expected, Pixar’s “Inside Out” landed a best animated feature nod, as did the Charlie Kaufman-penned “Anomalisa,” “Shaun the Sheep Movie,” “Boy and the World” and “When Marnie Was There.”

The foreign language category drew films from Hungary (“Son Of Saul”), France (“Mustang”), Jordan (“Theeb”), Denmark (“A War”) and Colombia (“Embrace the Serpent”). Though some fans had hoped for a better showing, the box-office behemoth “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” failed to land a best picture nomination. It instead scored five technical nods for editing, score, visual effects, sound mixing and sound editing. Since the best picture field was expanded from five nominees to up to 10 in 2010, every year has delivered nine nominations until this year’s eight. The original reasoning was partly to make room for bigger, more populist films like Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight” alongside acclaimed independent releases. But the chances for “The Force Awakens” were hurt because the category already has one sci-fi blockbuster (“The Martian”), as well as a number of major studio releases. Netflix, which has previously scored nominations for documentaries, fell short in its first bid for fiction film nods. Its first original feature, Cary Fukunaga’s “Beasts of No Nation,” was shut out. Netflix did break into the documentary category with “What Happened, Miss Simone” and “Winter on Fire: Ukraine’s Fight for Freedom.” The other nominees were “Amy,” ‘’Cartel Land” and “The Look of Silence.”

13 HOURS: THE SECRET SOLDIERS OF BENGHAZI
R | 2;24 | Starring: Pablo Schreiber, John Krasinski, Max Martini, Toby Stephens and James Badge Dale. (Strong combat violence throughout, bloody images and language)
‘Benghazi’ is big and bloody Bayhem By Nathan Poppe

f you were looking for a subtle retelling of the 2012 attack on Benghazi then keep walking. This is the version with more bullets than dialogue. “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi” is a dizzying dive into the confusion and darkness at the bloody Battle of Benghazi. The storied Islamic militant attack on the American diplomatic compound in Libya saturated news headlines for months. Director Michael Bay (“Transformers,” “Pain & Gain”) decided to join the conversation with Mitchell Zuckoff’s bestselling book as a road map. In typical Bay fashion, there’s good, there’s evil and there isn’t a camera shot too shaky to tell the story. The plot’s simple enough. Former Navy SEAL Jack Silva (a hulking, muscular John Krasinski from “The Office”) joins five other ex-military operatives who work at a secret CIA base a mortar’s shot away from an American diplomatic compound that’s as vulnerable as a slug sliding on a freshly salted highway.

Krasinski slips into the action role well and shares more than a few similarities with “American Sniper” subject Chris Kyle as played by Bradley Cooper. Cooper and Krasinski’s characters both sport the Marvel comic book Punisher logo on their military gear. Also, both actors shared the same physical trainer who helped pack on the muscle. All hell breaks loose when U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and his crew get attacked and, “The Chief” (David Costabile) hesitates releasing his army of six to lend a helping hand. Costabile’s slimy character is painted as a villain maybe as much as the Islamic militants. Bay might as well have started the film with the attack because the moments leading up the fight are tedious. However, it provides ample time to remind the viewers that its leading men are human beings and have families back at home. They miss them. I sure missed my comfy apartment after witnessing the film’s death count and heaps of peril. At half an hour too long, “13 Hours” is packed
full of chaos and explosion after explosion. The spastic action is often hard to follow and at times difficult to look at. A film like 2015’s “The Big Short” was interesting because of the way it broke down a complex disaster and ended up being equal parts educational and hilarious. Now, the banking collapse was supposed to be confusing. So was the attack on Benghazi. But I left “13 Hours” with more questions than answers. If there was time for the film to have so many dorky one-liners then you’d think there’d be enough time to explain the chaos a little better. However, I imagine Bay wanted the audience to stay as confused as his characters are throughout the movie. Bay aimed to put me in Libya, and I definitely wanted to leave. Bay’s opening credits assure the viewer it’s a true story. At it’s best, “13 Hours” is a sprawling, brutal reminder of courage and heroism stacked against insurmountable odds. The cost of bravery is huge. We’ve been reminded of that lately with 2014’s “American Sniper” and 2013’s “Lone Survivor.”

hen chef Vuong Nguyen, owner/ chef of Bonjour, told me he was behind the stove at Gigglez Bar & Grill, 1016 N Walker Ave., I thought he was working on material for a fledgling stage act to perform at the new Midtown venue, which also includes a comedy club. The joke was, as it usually is, on me. Nguyen, who happens to be one of the city’s most talented and innovative chefs, was telling the truth. Owner Marty Phillips brought Nguyen in as a partner last month to help him and his wife and daughter navigate the hospitality industry. The Special Forces retiree traded in work in the oil fields for a chance to offer the community a place to eat, drink and make merry in the space formerly occupied by Saturn Grill. Marty’s daughter Cindy Phillips bounces back and forth between the club, which takes over the space where The Candy Store once
operated, and the boba tea bar in the dining room. She said the idea behind Gigglez was community. “We want to be the kind of place people come and stay,” she explained. The main dining area is perfectly suitable for all ages and serves a broad, appealing menu with ironic names but pushed to the edges of their gastronomic potential by the Coach House Apprenticeship program grad who was executive chef at Guernsey Park when it opened. You won’t find a more impressive display of nachos in town. Polishing off this mountainous pile of tortilla chips, cheese, peppers, guacamole, sour cream and balsamic syrup would take more stamina than needed for climbing a fourteener. “The key is the layering,” Nguyen said. “That way you get good nachos top to bottom.” Nachos sound too macho?

My 16-year-old daughter Kate, an avowed salad-hater, took one bite and announced, “Well, I like salad now.” For a buck you can add chicken to make it an entree. Nguyen offers burgers, sandwiches and pizza made in a wood-fired oven, but if you want a little razzle-dazzle, it’s all about dessert. I’ve tried two of the three and was floored by both. The Matcha Creme is a minty green tea creme capped by chocolate “brulee” and fruity “caviar.” The brulee is a crisp sheet of chocolate and the “caviar” are tapioca balls from the boba bar. It plays like a thin mint that’s ready to make the jump to the big leagues. Taro From the Other Side Cheesecake is a

showstopper: Taro cheesecake over chocolate soil topped with Frangelico cream and lemon basil, the plate is dotted with rich, decadent taro caramel and more of the tapioca caviar. A dizzying combination of texture complements the balanced attack of sweet and aromatic that make up this inspired dessert. Cindy warns the burgers are thick and cooked to order, so if you’re popping in for a quick lunch you might choose one of the salads or pastas. I can vouch for the This Ain’t Lo Mein, a dish inspired by Asian flavors but with radiatore pasta. Boldly sweet and spicy, this is a flavor haymaker you’ll be glad comes with two slices of toast. As for pizza, Nguyen offers a well-rounded selection of pies from Large Marge to Pineapple Express. As for the smoothies and boba drinks,
weekly specials are offered but the staff is prepared to make a drink to fit your needs — including a shot of booze if you want. The full menu is served both in the main dining room and the comedy club, which also has a loft that can be reserved for private parties. The club begins its run of comedy acts on Saturday night. Nguyen said they plan to have shows twice a month to start and build on that in time. He said brunch could arrive as early as February. Gigglez is off to a terrific start, and it’s got to be one of the best places in town not called Chesapeake Arena or my couch to watch the Thunder.

t might be hard for 2016 to match last year’s record breaking box office haul but there’s more than a few good reasons to return to the theater. Here’s what we plan on seeing before the summer blockbusters make their splash.
JAN. 29 “The Finest Hours” tells the true story of an oil tanker literally ripped in half by one of the worst storms ever to hit the east coast in February 1952, and the four members of the Coast Guard who faced frigid temperatures and 70-foot waves in a small lifeboat in a daring attempt to rescue 30 sailors trapped aboard the rapidly-sinking vessel. Chris Pine, Casey Affleck, Ben Foster and Eric Bana head a cast directed by Craig Gillespie. Jack Black again supplies the voice of the chubby black-and-white title character, Po, in DreamWorks Animation’s “Kung Fu Panda 3,” supported by the vocal characterizations Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman, Jackie Chan and Seth Rogen. This time, Po must face two different threats: one supernatural and the other a little closer to home. Kids’ll love it.

It’s been clear for months that the oil economy is hurting, but will Oklahoma see an ’80s repeat?
G
eorge Nigh well remembers the last time the Oklahoma oil economy tanked — and the day that seemed to signal hard times ahead. It was July 5, 1982. The former governor was in the midst of running for re-election, heading to a campaign event when the phone rang in his car. It was his campaign treasurer calling to deliver the news that federal regulators had just closed the Oklahoma City shopping center bank that had come to symbolize the oil boom and the go-go lending of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Nigh started worrying about how much money his campaign had in its account at Penn Square Bank. A lot of people — in and out of Oklahoma — knew immediately that the party was over and that there would be ripple effects from Penn Square’s failure. But few likely predicted: • By the end of the decade, 200 banks would fail in Oklahoma, including some of the state’s oldest and most venerable institutions • Tens of thousands would lose their jobs, including people who had migrated from Rust Belt states to Oklahoma for the high oil-field wages • State revenues would plummet along with the price of oil, creating years of budget cuts and tax hikes. Teachers were laid off. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol idled cars to save gas. “I don’t know anyone who would characterize it as anything less than a depression,” Oklahoma City banker David Rainbolt said in a recent interview. With oil selling for about a third of what it fetched two years ago, the state’s oil and gas companies are retrenching, industry job losses are mounting and state government is being slashed. The state’s school superintendent said some school districts might not survive the 3 percent cut now about to be implemented. And much deeper cuts await. Oklahoma’s economy ranked as the nation’s worst in the second quarter of this year. In December, Moody’s Investors Service downgraded Oklahoma’s outlook from stable to negative, citing an 18-month decline in the energy sector. In Oklahoma City, OGE Energy Corp. shelved a plan to build a downtown office complex, citing concerns about the local economy. Ada oilman Mike Cantrell, who has watched the oil and gas economy for decades, said the current downturn “is more like the 1980s than the ones we’ve had before then and now.” Since June 2014, Oklahoma has lost 11,600

energy jobs and 59 percent of its active oil and gas rigs, according to the state finance office. “The universal truth of Oklahoma state finance — as oil goes, so goes state revenue — is playing out once again,” Preston L. Doerflinger, the state’s finance secretary, said last month. State Sen. David Holt, R-Oklahoma City, said in an interview last week, “This is probably going to be the worst downturn since the 1980s.” It’s been clear for months that the boom was going bust. But are the 1980s happening again? EXCESS AND BANKS Tales of wretched excess have always been part of the lore of the 1980s bust: a Penn Square banker chugging beer from a cowboy boot; an oilman landing his helicopter at Junior’s restaurant in Oklahoma City; a mechanical gorilla and other odd things that had been used as collateral for loans and had to be auctioned off by the FDIC. Many of the stories came out of criminal fraud and bankruptcy cases that followed the bust. Cantrell remembers a story, told by a Tulsa attorney, about a shoe salesman who borrowed $6 million during the boom to go into the oil business. Asked during a deposition what he did with the money, the man said, “Well, I spent $2 million on a jet, I spent another $2 million on trips to Vegas and women and whiskey. The other $2 million I just wasted on drilling rigs and secretaries and stuff like that.” There is at least one huge difference between
LOOKATOKC.COM
the 1980s and now: Oklahoma’s community banks didn’t finance the latest boom. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, some bankers seemingly loaned money to anyone with a rig and some pipe who wanted to punch a hole in the ground, along with the companies that provide assorted services for exploration and production. “Of those banks that failed, many were heavily involved in oil-field service iron or specialized rolling stock, which loses its value more quickly than oil and gas reserves, ” said Rainbolt, whose family’s banking business survived the 1980s. That was a different type of drilling and production then. Many of the wells were drilled quickly; they were shallow and low-producing. Horizontal drilling and fracking operations that have spurred the shale revolution in huge swaths of North Dakota, Texas and Oklahoma have relied on more sophisticated financing. “Now, it’s private equity, venture capital and alternative financing backing exploration,” said Rainbolt, now CEO of BancFirst. “So the local banks are really only peripherally involved this time.” And concerns about bankruptcies and defaults have shifted primarily from Main Street to Wall Street. DEBT LOADS To be sure, there is still plenty of debt connected to the companies enduring the latest price crash — and at least some of it is on the balance sheets of big banks. At the end of September, Oklahoma City-based

Continental Resources reported it had $17 million in cash and $7.1 billion in long-term debt. Harold Hamm, CEO of Continental Resources, told CNBC, “It’s a different situation than it was in the 1980s. Most of the companies out there (now) have long-term money that’s not coming due tomorrow. They’re able to ride this out. “A lot of bankruptcies were predicted early. They’re just not happening. ... The weaker companies are folding, maybe, but very few of them.” That might depend on your definition of “few.” The law firm Haynes and Boone reported last week that 42 North American oil and gas companies with $17 billion in debt had filed for bankruptcy since the beginning of 2015. “Industry and economic indicators suggest more producer bankruptcy filings will occur during 2016,” according to the firm’s Oil Patch Bankruptcy Monitor. Chad Wilkerson, the Oklahoma City branch executive of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank, said in a recent interview, “It’s definitely true that banks aren’t as exposed this time. “Community banks now do very little direct lending for oil and gas exploration. If the downturn spills over into other commercial and consumer loans, they could have problems.” But so far, that hasn’t happened. According to the FDIC, more than 95 percent of the commercial banks in Oklahoma are making a profit. However, last week, BOK, parent company of Bank of Oklahoma, more than doubled its estimate of credit losses after one energy company failed to meet its loan obligations. As bank failures spread across the state in the 1980s, exacerbated by weakness in the farm sector, the FDIC wound up with assets it couldn’t sell, including real estate. Rainbolt recalled that there would often be no bids at real estate auctions. Wilkerson recently did an analysis of the real estate conditions in Oklahoma and found encouraging signs on the residential and commercial sides. Inventories of unsold homes remained low in Oklahoma City and Tulsa, and the office vacancy rates in both cities were low and stable through midyear. There was generally much less building in the state in the past few years than in previous oil booms, he found. DIRE FINANCIAL MESS “I had the most wonderful four years you can imagine as governor,” Nigh said in a recent interview. He was talking about his first term, from 1979 to 1982. That was a period — like Gov. Mary Fallin’s first four years — marked by state budget increases and money rolling in above estimates almost every month. “If they wanted to fund something, they just

stuck their hand out the window,’’ said Lex Holmes, the University of Oklahoma economist who would run the state’s finance office a few years later. It probably did seem like money was literally falling from the sky at times. But just a few months after Penn Square Bank failed, everything changed at the state Capitol. Sales tax and gross production revenues plunged in the fall of 1982. Nigh ordered 13 percent reductions across the board. Agencies took immediate hits. It got so bad in Nigh’s second term, he said, “We were pulling highway patrol cars over to the side of the road to save gas.” “I kept thinking, ‘It will come back. It will come back.’ ” It would take decades for the energy business to come back. In Nigh’s last year, the state budget was cut by more than $300 million, a huge amount then. Henry Bellmon, a Republican who succeeded Nigh in office in 1987, picked Holmes to head the state finance office. “The oil crisis had two stages, one around the Penn Square failure and the other hit literally when we walked in the door,” Holmes said. “The state was in an absolute dire financial mess. To get to balance, you’d have to cut everything across the board 18 percent. There wasn’t a nickel or dime left in the sofa cushions anywhere.” So Bellmon pushed — and the Democratic Legislature passed — a $275 million package of tax increases. Tuition was raised at colleges and universities.
Page 32
January 27 - February 9, 2016
“Everything that the state did, we put a fee on it,” Holmes said. The tax package stabilized the budget for the first time in years, Holmes said, adding that they could once again put money into a capital improvements. He called the current budget situation “a selfinflicted wound” caused by numerous tax cuts. “I can believe the policymakers are idiots, or I can believe they’re getting exactly what they want,” he said. “There is no doubt in my mind the policymakers in control want to reduce as much as they can the public services in the state.” Holt, the Republican state senator, said, “I don’t believe our budget hole is attributable to tax cuts.” The Legislature’s biggest failure, he said, was in not recognizing that the state’s Rainy Day Fund requirements for reserves aren’t based on the entire budget. If they were, he said, the state would have to put a lot more money aside. The state Board of Education has approved a 3 percent cut to public schools over the next six months, which, though tough, is nowhere near the depth of reductions in some of the crisis years of the 1980s. But, to address an expected $900 million shortfall in the next budget, legislators may have to cut services by nearly 13 percent — about the same amount as Nigh had to cut in his last year. “If I could have switched my two terms, I would have,” Nigh said. “But the challenges that came had to be addressed.” BETTER CONDITIONS “This is not the ’80s,” said University of Okla-
homa economist Robert Dauffenbach. “We’re talking about a very different state, a very different economy. We had 1 in 6 workers in direct employment in the energy industry in the 1980s. Now we’re looking at more like 1 in 28. “There’s a whole lot more going on in the state than simply oil and gas.” Rainbolt noted that the boom of the 1980s resulted primarily from drilling in Oklahoma. This time, he said, the state is the headquarters of companies that helped revolutionize oil and gas drilling being done in numerous states. Rainbolt predicted that Oklahoma’s rural areas might be hardest hit by energy job losses this time. Figures through September from the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics bear that out, showing the reductions in energy jobs have so far been much steeper outside of Oklahoma City and Tulsa. On Jan. 8, there were 83 rigs in the state, down 61 percent from November 2014, according to Baker Hughes. The loss of 131 rigs over the past 14 months represents thousands of jobs in rural Oklahoma. Still, Dauffenbach said, “The employment based in Oklahoma and in the energy sector is more stable now because we have, particularly in Oklahoma City, the corporate base level employment that is leading the horizontal drilling and fracking industry nationally.” Wilkerson, with the Federal Reserve, has been studying the historic effects that the energy industry has had on Oklahoma’s economy. He wouldn’t go so far as to call the 1980s a depression, labeling it “a severe regional recession.” For all the talk of a diversified economy, the figures Wilkerson has compiled show employment, worker earnings, state revenues and the gross domestic product are still heavily dependent on the oil and gas industry. And all stand to suffer with the price of oil at about half of what many companies need to make a profit. But the situation going into this downturn was much better, he said in an interview. In 1985, when oil prices really collapsed, the unemployment rate in Oklahoma was already relatively high — 2 percentage points above its long-term average, Wilkerson said. “So people who got laid off had trouble finding work elsewhere,’’ he said. Today, Oklahoma’s unemployment rate is relatively low — 1 percent below the long-term average, Wilkerson said, making it easier for people to find other jobs. “Exactly what happened in the ’80s doesn’t look like it could happen again, given better initial economic conditions and somewhat more cautious real estate development,” Wilkerson said. “But I am increasingly concerned about the outlook as oil prices continue to drift down.”

New buyer looks to return downtown to its glory “During the course of that best and final offer phase we had more conversations, did background checks on every one, and we came to the conclusion Gary’s group and their offer was the best one. … What was important for bidders was having experience in doing what they say they will do,” Parrack said. Brooks previously looked at buying the property a couple of years ago, but like other buyers, he withdrew due to questions about the seller. He said he decided to again pursue the property after joining a team with members experienced “in all the areas required for a redevelopment of this magnitude.” “We wanted to bring together a group that is passionate about this building,” Brooks said. “We needed experts who understand the significant role we will have in this stage of the building’s history and who are willing to take on the responsibility of restoring what has been referred to as the Grand Dame of OKC back to its rightful place of quality and significance.”

owntown’s historic but troubled First National Center has a new buyer, a team with local players accessed by a court-appointed receiver and deemed to have the expertise and financial strength to get the deal done. The team led by local developer Gary Brooks and Texas contractor and developer Charlie Nicholas have a signed contract with receiver Jim Parrack and U.S. District Judge Stephen Friot to buy the property for $23 million. Their plans call for converting the tower at 120 N Robinson Ave. into a mix of a hotel and apartments, and to tear down two buildings built to the east in the 1960s and 1970s, and replace them with garages with retail on the first floor. “We want to close and get started on this journey as soon as possible,” Brooks said. “But we have to go through a process of due diligence. The focus of our investigation will be to assure our team that the building is capable of handling

all of the stresses we will be putting on it. We expect that process to take 90 days, but it could last a little longer depending on the results of the engineering tests.” CONTACTING DEVELOPERS Parrack, with Price Edwards Co., said while he followed Friot’s instructions to restore utilities to the tower and make urgent repairs, fellow brokers Craig Tucker and Cordell Brown marketed the 1 million square foot landmark to investors and experienced developers nationwide. “They did research on people who did this type of development, and there were about 50 to 60 of those folks,” Parrack said. “We contacted them directly.” Parrack said about 20 parties expressed interest in buying First National, and of those, six submitted purchase offers. Three finalists were chosen and then vetted to determine whether they could close the deal.
NO TIMELINE YET Brooks said he is not ready to detail a timeline for the building’s redevelopment. Plans call for 14th through 33rd floors to be converted into housing and the second through 13th floors to be a hotel. “One of the most exciting parts of our plan will be to completely restore the Great Banking Hall on the second floor and once again make it one of the finest spaces in Oklahoma City,” Brooks said. “To guarantee the hotel and the apartment residents have adequate parking, our plan is to convert the center and east building into a parking garage.” Brooks said the garage will provide parking to the hotel and residents and provide up to 400 more spaces for monthly and hourly parking. The overall development cost is estimated at more than $200 million, and the city is in the midst of creating a tax increment financing district to assist in the project. “We know that we only have one chance to do this and do right,” Brooks said. “Our motto we will implement is ‘be quick, but don’t hurry.’ A project of this magnitude has its own timeline. Some things we can force to hit our time frame, and some things we can’t. After we complete the due diligence phase, we will be in a better position to develop a realistic timeline for design and construction.” By the time that period ends, Parrack suspects only a couple of tenants will remain in the building, and they have indicated they will close their businesses when the sale is completed. The 33-story art deco tower was built in 1931 as the home of First National Bank, which was the largest, most powerful bank in Oklahoma City before it failed during the 1980s oil bust. The

Dunn is a leader in both new construction and renovation of historic properties. High profile projects are the company’s specialty, having been selected to preserve and restore the exterior of the Oklahoma State Capitol. The $50 million restoration involves trial and test repairs on the entire exterior including stone, mortar joints and windows and ultimately bringing the Capitol back to its original 1917 splendor. Other notable restoration projects include the Kansas statehouse ($262 million), the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City ($154 million), and Union Station in Kansas City. Dunn was also selected by Hines Interests to build the newest Oklahoma City high-rise, the 33-story BOK Park Plaza at 499 W Sheridan Ave. currently under construction.

standing tall and strong long after we’re gone. Our role in being a responsible steward is a role we will take very seriously.”
LITIGATION CONTINUES Friot ordered the First National Center into immediate receivership in September after the air conditioning was cut off over unpaid bills and many tenants began to flee the property, including several state agencies. The loss of utilities occurred while Friot was hearing litigation between California textile manufacturer Leon Neman and his family, who claimed they bought it three years ago, and plaintiffs including disgruntled investor Howard Absolet who argued Neman was a front for convicted felon Aaron Yashouafar, who controlled the building until Parrack was named receiver. To further complicate the matter, Absolet claimed he had gained ownership of the property through acquiring stock in a Yashouafar company through a U.S. Marshal’s auction triggered by judgments Absolet won against Yashouafar. That litigation continues, but the claims will center on the sale proceeds, not ownership of First National Center. Brooks sees his future tenure as not an owner, but as a “steward.” “First National Center is one of the most important properties in Oklahoma City due to its location, size, historical significance, and the beauty of this great, old building,” Brooks said. “For about 20 years it has been owned by out-of-state developers who made unfilled promises of restoring the building to prominence. Despite the years of deterioration from neglect, she has stood strong and proud.” First National, Brooks said, is a rare building that is iconic in its history and character. “The building is so special the idea of owning it seems almost inappropriate,” Brooks said. “This building has been serving this city long before anyone on our team was alive, and it will be

FEBRUARY 5 • 6:30 P.M. TO 10 P.M. In “Women in War Zones” at the Project Box, 3003 Paseo, Oklahoma City painter Ebony Iman Dallas celebrates the beauty of women who fight back against tragedy in her new solo show, Women in War Zones. Opening reception is 6 to 10 p.m. Feb. 5 and will feature live music by Kalyn Fay of Tulsa. Dallas uses fiery colors and graphic forms to create portraits of women who have shown resilience when faced with physical and emotional trauma, such as Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani teen who survived an assassination attempt by the Taliban. The portraits in Women in War Zones capture the spirit and energy of these brave women,

creating a mirror for viewers to explore their own strength. The unconventionality and power of the faces and bodies Dallas paints result from the openness of her practice. “My work forms organically, with each shape determining the direction and structure of the next. This process often reveals results that are unexpected yet present on a subconscious, spiritual level,” says Dallas. Dallas, is the founder of the Afrikanation Artists Organization, which connects artists in Africa and U.S. through exchange programs and advocacy events.
