hen I sat down with Lauren Zuniga in July, I had one mission in mind: To pick the Okie poet’s brain about what a LOOKatOKC poetry issue would look and feel like. She paused when I asked. I imagine it was sort of a big question for her. She lives and breathes the written word. She ended up sharing with me a giant list of all the poetry events that are happening on a weekly basis in Oklahoma City. She assured me there was some exciting stuff happening. And she was right. I had no idea a quarter of the events were occuring and I’m so grateful to Zuniga for her ideas and energy. Sometimes you’re clueless to what’s happening right under your nose. For example, I’ve knocked back about a dozen slices at Sauced on Paseo, but I didn’t realize there was a red dirt poetry event there. I’ve driven through Deep Deuce countless times, but I was still unaware of Urban Roots’ poetry evening either. I was oblivious to an entire world of poetry bubbling throughout the metro. Think of this issue as a wake-up call. Liz Blood wrote a beautiful and detailed story that covers pretty much everything I could have imagined involving local poetry in this story. She even got an exclusive Short Order Poem written to accompany the story. It’s a poem written from the viewpoint of Oklahoma City to its residents. Thank you for your contribution, Liz. Also, Bryan Terry’s photographs push the story to another level. Many thanks are in order. Maybe your eyes will be opened to a new facet of OKC just like mine were. Speaking of new, make sure to check out Dave Cathey’s first take on R&J Lounge and Supper Club. Don’t let the fancy name fool you. They let me into the place last week to dine on cocktail weenies and drink out of a tiki cup. The new hangout is yet another piece of evidence supporting downtown OKC’s renaissance. It’s getting a little better and brighter here every week, and here’s a magazine full of proof if you don’t believe me.

H
appy fall, everybody. This month’s song cycle comes with absolutely zero trace of pumpkin spice. Ex Hex — “Don’t Wanna Lose” One of my favorite records from a couple years ago was Wild Flag’s self-titled, which listened like a ladies-only tour of rock and roll history. In that band, Mary Timony traded lead singing duties with Carrie Brownstein of Sleater-Kinney and the sketch comedy show “Portlandia,” but here singing for her new band Ex Hex, Timony looks to be focusing in
FOLLOW @OKMATTCARNEY ON TWITTER on a very specific sound: Something like a more modern version of Cheap Trick’s power-pop sped up to The Ramones’s blistering rhythms. This one’s got the very classic punk title of “Don’t Wanna Lose,” and it’s a pure, two-and-a-half distillation of what makes rock and roll fun: Tambourine shaking, red-hot guitar licks and half-nonsense lyrics you can pump a fist to. Aphex Twin — “XMAS_EVET10 [120][thanaton3 mix]” Although I’m in over my head describing what it is that Richard D. James, a bonafide genius, does as Aphex Twin, I can say that there isn’t a single measure of music on his recently released record, “Syro,” that’s the same as the one before it. It is a fiercely original collection of compositions that are sharply and expertly recorded and if you’re not careful you will get lost in them. James reportedly played 138 instruments on “Syro,” saying in an interview that he’d even made his own modifications to many of them, to give you an idea of the level of genius we’re dealing here. And what you’re hearing now is “Syro”’s second track, titled “XMAS_EVET10 [120][thanaton3 mix],” which I found myself returning to several times. Its rhythms are incredible and shift shape at about ten times the speed you can identify them. I tried to do so and felt completely at loss and in awe: I might as well have tried to grab hold of water in an ocean. Kendrick Lamar — “i” On his 2012 debut record “Good Kid m.A.A.d. city,” Kendrick Lamar reported from the front lines of his hometown of Compton, California, a city ravaged by gang violence. It was a heavy record, full of drug addiction and human loss, but it ended on a hopeful note, with Kendrick envisioning himself as a sort of savior on its final track “Compton,” taking the torch from Compton hip-hop legend Dr. Dre. Early this morning his record label Top Dawg Entertainment put out the lead single for his much anticipated sophomore album and it sounds like Kendrick’s trying to start the healing process. The song’s simply called “i” and it’s definitely a radio single, cracking open with a sample of the Isley Brothers’ 1973 soul hit “Who’s That Lady.” And though the production sounds nothing like anything on “Good Kid m.A.A.d. city,” it’s still got Kendrick rapping his butt off, exuding confidence and self-love in the face of uncertainty. A personal favorite image comes in the line “Blow steam in the face of the beast” delivered in his signature alien sped-up delivery. Riding Kendrick’s star, “i” could become a legitimate No. 1 hit. Mapei — “Don’t Wait” It’s nice to be reminded every now and again that it’s okay for pop music to aim a little higher than the least common denominator. And by that I mean if all we had to listen to were strong, confident, self-assured songs about owning dance floors, where would we turn for sentiment or vulnerability in songwriting? That said, there’s a refreshing quality to the first track on 30-year-old SwedishAmerican pop singer Maw-pay’s debut album “Hey Hey.” The song’s called “Don’t Wait” and early on it’s got a great admittance of both necessity and appreciation: “If it wasn’t for you,” Mapei sings, “I’d have to hold my own.” Handclaps keep the time and she raps her way through a little breakdown before the song peaks with a couple of great big vocal rips, unaided by the robotic voice harmonizing with her throughout the song. It gives you a little sense of triumph. I Love Makonnen ft. Drake — “Club Goin’ Up on a Tuesday” You ever work so hard that you’ve got no time to play? Drake doesn’t have that problem. When you’re as famous as he is, somebody sets the party up for you, even if it’s the middle of the week. That’s what he raps about on this remix of the quirky “Club Goin’ Up on a Tuesday,” an off-kilter rap song from 25-yearold New York City resident I Love Makone-nen. I love “Club Goin’ Up on a Tuesday” because it wobbles along on this uncertain, rickety beat that’s completely opposite of the vogue in hip-hop at the bottom. It’s somehow perfect for Makonnen’s street-corner jargon and Drake’s overly suave highbrow bragging both, a one-size-fits-all beat that you can listen to for hours.

From Katrina to triumph: Telesa Hines shares her life via poetry

f I had to choose one word to describe myself, it would be, organic,” poet and activist Telesa Hines of Langston, Okla. said. Telesa Hines – part poet, part nomad – fearlessly exposes listeners to the raw culmination of her experiences through words. She has shared this experience at venues across Oklahoma including Ice Event Center, Sauced and Urban Roots in Oklahoma City, The Fur Shop in Tulsa and Mona’s Old School in Lawton. “If I’m not writing, I’m not breathing and if I’m not breathing, I’m dead. So if I’m not writing, I’m dead. It (poetry) is my air,” Hines said. Ms. Hines claims Mississippi as her home, however she spent the majority of her childhood living overseas. “I don’t feel like I personally have roots anywhere,” said Hines, “I’m an Army brat and my dad was active duty my whole life. I’ve lived and travelled to Germany, Italy, Paris, Turkey, Prague, West Africa, Switzerland, Czech Republic and kept journals. I’ve been writing my whole life.” This organic experience shaped the stories she shares. “When I say in a poem ‘…my heart being robbed like the Gypsy kids at the Leaning Tower of Piza,’ my listeners may not know that I’ve actually been there but I pull from my experiences a lot,” Hines said. After settling in Mississippi with her two sons, retired father and mother, they again found themselves uprooted, this time at the hand of Mother Nature. “I lived in Mississippi when Hurricane Katrina hit. We lost everything.”

Standing in murky residual waters Surveying what of the material and the spiritual is salvageable Junk debris of dreams deferred Washed away Royals and servants all commoners Together And everything that previously drew lines of separation Washed away In 2010, Ms. Hines, determined to get a fresh start, entered Langston University in Langston Oklahoma. In May 2014, she earned a Liberal Education degree and now travels at least once per week along I-35 to participate in OKC poetry events. “I come from a place that doesn’t embrace art the way Oklahoma City does. Oklahoma has become my home,” said Hines. — Ebony Iman Dallas, designer and art speaks writer

I don’t know you But I see you I feel like I know what happened to you And I stay afflicted with Emotions of empathy And sympathy As it relates to you Young, passionate, fearless girl Filled with the wisdom and pride of village elders passed Exploding with a carnal need for more than survival A need greater than spoils A need to just be free to be Finding love in a loveless land Seeing the manifestation of every passion in you Walking, talking thru him Madiba Unaware that the strength you identify with in his eyes Is your very own reflection You are why the caged bird kept singing Amandla Awethu Imprisonment Solitary condiment Beatings and bannings So many sacrifices Robbed not only of civil rights But birth rights You, a lioness with a nation of defenseless cubs Being hunted On fire with a carnal instinct to protect the pride

You kept fighting And they kept fighting Amandla Awethu Because you kept fighting A nation kept fighting Amandla Awethu But eventually those physical beatings Transcended to spiritual beatings Struggling to breath under the choke hold of the strong arm of an unjust Justice system Hatred crept in like bacteria and rage oozed out of the festering wounds And anger was the drug you got strung out on Doped up on hate in order to get thru the day On a binge Shooting up revenge Came the fiery necklaces Meeting beatings with beatings The victim became the victimizer Because ultimately the queen Is still a human being And the mom in me sees what happened to you And I forgive you Because I know that he was steadfast because of you You kept the movement moving When bars made him immobile He got thru those 27 years by losing himself in dreams of you So I can’t let the world dismiss you Because you were the preservative that kept Madiba for us You are not invisible queen Your contributions To the revolution Were not in vain There is a place for you in me

APHEX TWIN, ‘SYRO’
I
t’s been 13 years since Richard D. James released a full-length album under his Aphex Twin moniker. After spending most of the ’90s redefining the limits of electronic music, his post-2000 absence left a void that multiple inspired musicians have attempted to fill. James’ early love of computers and synthesizers gave his music a futuristic feeling, which is likely why he hasn’t felt the need to release new music in such a long time. Now that he’s given other artists a chance to catch up, his musical return with “SYRO” marks yet another forward-thinking shift in the musical landscape. Aphex Twin music is fairly easy to identify. Drums hit in unexpected patterns, somehow balanced and maintained with James’ mathematical precision. A plethora of analog synthesizers moves in and out of each song, some never to return. The second track on “SYRO” is more than 10 minutes long and often feels like
LOOKATOKC.COM
three songs sequenced together. Conversely, there’s a track just shy of a minute in the middle of the album just as a palate cleanser between two of the album’s more intense moments. The scattered approach of “SYRO” makes the album uneven at times. It feels destined to be lumped in with Aphex Twin’s “Selected Ambient Works 85-92” collection of songs, where you pick and choose your favorites as opposed to listening to them in order. Nothing on “SYRO” comes close to the freak-out tracks “Come to Daddy” or “Windowlicker,” which is likely a good thing for anybody curious to check out Aphex Twin for the first time. But for those familiar with Aphex Twin, there is nobody else on this planet that can make music like James. Even though listening to “SYRO” reminds me of other musicians making music derived from Aphex Twin’s brilliance, it also reminds me that nothing ever beats the original.

KING TUFF, ‘BLACK MOON SPELL’
T
he timing of Vermont legend King Tuff’s “Black Moon Spell” could not be more perfect. Not only is there a thirst for rock and roll with some guts, but also King Tuff is riding high off of his sophomore record and Sub Pop eponymous debut that elevated the band from cult hero to full-time brain melter in the span of a few years. “Black Moon Spell” capitalizes wonderfully with a Peter Pan-like attitude and pop-savvy punch to boot. “Black Moon Spell” does well in that the lead-off is the title track, setting the tone for the record with guitar licks that beam with confidence. No matter the ear put to it, there’s something alluring about screaming guitar soaring over punishing rhythm. It’s liberating and inspiring in a way that could make you stay up all night on a Tuesday. “Headbangers” is an undeniably fun weekend burner. It gives the impression that King Tuff has a general nonchalance about it, yet the band’s songs are so well-crafted and begging for repeat listens that you’d suspect otherwise. Case in point: It would be a tragedy of unforgivable magnitude if “Beautiful Thing” doesn’t become some sort of anthem for a place where it’s always the weekend. “Madness” is one of the best “this-is-who-I-am-takeit-or-leave-it” proclamations by a band in the past decade, with infectious guitar that can only be classified as sexy. It’s the overall feel of this record that makes you grin listen after listen, some sort of confidence that can only come from a select few people that screams at the top of its lungs without saying a word. Most rock and roll bands could only dream of making a record this enjoyable without being tired. The kicker is that there’s nothing that stands out as amazingly unique or special. It’s simply the sum of three good musicians playing really great pop.

THE DRUMS, ‘ENCYCLOPEDIA’
rooklyn’s The Drums have a daunting task in following up their 2011 hit “Portamento,” which showed the band’s prowess as an indie pop powerhouse while maintaining the ability and gusto to sprinkle in experimentation, most always leading to outstanding results. Luckily for new and hard-core fans, the band continues pushing the envelope with its sound, leaving the brunt of songwriting to the two remaining members, Jonny Pierce and Jacob
LOOKATOKC.COM
Graham. On “Encyclopedia,” the band trades balmy beach nights for sprawling, cold and wet pavement. Darker tones candy-coated by beautiful vocal melodies and smart structure make “Encyclopedia” stand tall in The Drums’ library of material. From the word go, The Drums want to make a statement with the one-two punch of “Magic Mountain” and “I Can Pretend.” Whereas past releases were loaded heavily with the most catchy songs you could imagine, the lead-off tracks on “Encyclopedia” are abrasive, haunting and an altogether different band. Not to say the change is something worrying: “Magic Mountain” grows on you with each listen, and “I Can Pretend” gets lost in the beautiful dark. By the time we reach the irresistible “Kiss Me Again,” the brilliance of The Drums shines through in their untouchable pop sensibility. “Break My Heart” treads in swinging territory, but Pierce continues to hold the band strong with crisp melodies and thoughtful lyricism that’s wonderful, melancholic and relatable. Perhaps one of the more interesting things about “Encyclopedia” is that even though the sound is a bit more free-form, every bit of instrumentation is poignant, especially the keys. There’s a point
to every little noise, and it’s never overused. “There Is Nothing Left” absolutely soars late in the album, blend of sound shining brilliantly. Perhaps it is good that things with The Drums have been less than sunny. Pierce has been given the floor to show the breadth of his talent and, in the case of “Encyclopedia,” it pays off brilliantly. If anything, The Drums have a funny way of showing us that, even in the dark times of anyone’s life, there’s always a little bit of light. — Kellen McGugan, for The Oklahoman

band q&a
Soulful Norman native singer/songwriter shares big voice, Motown flair
N
orman native Caleb McGee has played and written for years, but as of late, he’s gotten a foothold in Oklahoma’s music scene. Whether solo or with his revolving band of backing musicians, collectively called the Townies, McGee loves to perform and is most notable for his big, big voice — perfect for the soulful, Motown-style delivery that is his trademark.
Q: How long have you been playing music? And how long have you been writing and playing live? Caleb McGee: I picked up the guitar when I was 14, but I didn’t really play live until about 25, about four years ago. I’ve been writing songs on and off throughout that time. Q: You strike me as someone who might ve found your singing voice before you picked up an instrument. Is that how it happened? McGee: Yeah, I did. One of my dad’s friends gave me an oldies tape that had a bunch of Otis Redding, Buddy Holly ... it was all over the place. A lot of the Motown and Stax Records stuff really stuck with me; I’ve always sung a lot of that. I was in choir all through school.
Q: So that s how you choose all the classic cover songs in your repertoire? You listened to them as a kid? McGee: Yeah, but I’m always looking for new ones. I also like to dig deep and see if I can get people asking, “Who wrote that song?” Q: How do you think your more soul-oriented style fits in with the roots music vibe of The Deli or of the bands you often

play with? McGee: It is different, but that’s OK. I’m one of a bunch of different things we have to choose from in this area, and I think that’s cool. There are a lot of bands I love playing with. The Handsome Devils (lead singer) Derek Paul’s voice and mine go together pretty well. There’s never any conflict or anything. We’ll make a show work with anyone and are excited to play with anybody.
Q: The first time a lot of people had heard of you was play-
ing the main stage at Norman Music Festival earlier this year, and now you ve got these residencies every week. How has that growth been for you? McGee: I’ve always just been grinding it out. I’ve been doing this for four years, but things have only been going well for the last couple. The Norman Music Festival was huge for me. It was a lot of fun and a good jump-start. You could have one of those shows where you make
an impression ... it could be any night.
Q: Do you have any recorded material people can hear get their hands on? McGee: I’ve recorded a few live shows but nothing I’m prepared to release yet. — Becky Carman, entertainment writer

Chickasaw Nation’s ‘Te Ata’ film celebrates storyteller’s life
F
or 60 years, Mary Frances Thompson, better known by her Chickasaw name Te Ata, entertained and educated with her American Indian storytelling. At the height of her career, she performed at the White House for President Franklin D. Roosevelt and for the king and queen of Great Britain. The upcoming feature film, “Te Ata,” follows the life of the performer from her childhood in Emet in the Chickasaw Nation to her years at the Oklahoma Women’s College, her marriage and how she overcame opposition to rise to stardom.
The movie is directed by Nathan Frankowski, best known for his documentary, “Expelled, No Intelligence Allowed,” the top-grossing documentary of 2008. Work on the film began Sept. 8 in Tishomingo and moved this week to the Oklahoma City Railway Museum. “Te Ata is the universal story of someone who has a story inside themselves and wants to express it,” Frankowski said Tuesday on the movie set in northeast Oklahoma City. Te Ata’s father is played by Gil Birmingham, who “Twilight” saga fans will know as Billy Black. Oscar nominee Graham Greene, who starred in “Dances with Wolves,” plays Chickasaw Nation Gov. Douglass H. Johnson. Greene said Tuesday he sees the film as a way to bring American Indian perspectives, as told by those with American Indian heritage, to a wider audience, and inspire younger tribal members to join in the storytelling. “A lot more kids are getting into acting, and telling the stories accurately, not the way some Western writer who has probably never been west of the Mississippi has written,” Greene said. The role of Te Ata is played by Q’Orianka Kilcher, who at the age of 14 portrayed Pocahontas in “The New World” opposite Christian Bale and Colin Farrell. “I think (Kilcher) shares a lot of the same attributes
with the character she’s playing,” said Mackenzie Astin, who plays Te Ata’s husband, Dr. Clyde Fisher. Astin said Kilcher has “the ability to captivate other people from a distance, and when they get closer, she’s got a lot to teach them.” Jeannie Barbour, artist and creative director for the Chickasaw Nation, spent three years researching Te Ata. “I’ve met with her family, I dug through archives and tried to find as many primary sources as I could,” Barbour said. — Sarah Lobban, entertainment writer

Witherspoon-led drama has heart, emotional storytelling
C
ontrary to what the movie poster suggests, Reese Witherspoon does not portray the central character of “The Good Lie,” a gripping and eye-opening drama that focuses on “The Lost Boys of Sudan” — children orphaned by a brutal civil war and forced to flee from certain death at the hands of northern militia, many walking up to 1,000 miles to the safety of a refugee camp in Kenya. Based on horrific and ongoing realities in Sudan, “The Good Lie” is a powerful fictional account of three boys and a girl (yes, there are “Lost Girls,” too) who survive the long trek across treacherous terrain to the U.N. camp Kakuma. Mamere, younger sister Abital, Paul and Jeremiah unofficially adopt each other as a family of brothers and sister, as is the custom of their culture in such shared situations, and their bond is heartrendingly tight. The story fast-forwards 13 years to find them as young adults in the year 2000, being given the opportunity to resettle in America. Once there, Mamere (Arnold Oceng), Jeremiah (Ger Duany) and Paul (Emmanuel Jal) are stricken when they

October 8 - October 21, 2014
learn that sister Abital (Kuoth Wiel) is being sent to a foster home in Boston, while the young men are assigned to live in Kansas City, Mo. There, the three “brothers” are met by Carrie Davis (Witherspoon), an employment agency counselor assigned to settle them in a furnished apartment and help them find jobs, knowing that’ll be a tricky chore at best, since these guys have never seen running water, light switches or telephones. In fact, every time the phone rings in their apartment, the refugees think the contraption is some kind of alarm gone haywire. Consequently, they ignore it. Their clueless struggle to adapt to the customs and gadgets of this strange new high-tech world is alternately a source of engaging amusement and heavy pathos, as is Carrie’s frustration in her role as reluctant caretaker. Carrie is a confirmed single woman with a taste for beer and tequila and an exceptionally sloppy apartment. She’s a woman who consciously avoids all emotional entanglements. But gradually she warms to these young Sudanese men and makes an effort to understand
their plight, the unimaginable trauma they experienced and their childlike, Bible-guided innocence. She decides to make their transition a happy and successful one, with the help of her sympathetic boss, Jack (Corey Stoll), and Faith Based Charities volunteer Pamela Lowi (Sarah Baker). They even work to reunite the three young men with sister Abital, and a brother, Theo (Femi Oguns), who was captured by the militia. Director Philippe Falardeau (“Monsieur Lazhar”) draws excellent performances from the entire cast, particularly the Sudanese actors, and especially Duany and Jal, who as former “Lost Boys” in real life, were forced to become child soldiers. The Sudanese actors lend great authenticity to this screenplay by Margaret Nagle (HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire”), which makes memorable and moving statements about compassion, the human spirit and the importance of family. — Gene Triplett, entertaiment writer

REESE WITHERSPOON, ‘THE GOOD LIE’

Witherspoon raises awareness of global conflicts in new role
Director Philippe Falardeau, left, and actor Reese Witherspoon at a press conference for “The Good Lie” at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — All lights and cameras were trained on hometown girl Reese Witherspoon, who was naturally the center of attention when she arrived on the red carpet in front of the Belcourt Theatre for a special screening of her latest film, “The Good Lie.” After all, she grew up here in Music City, and a huge crowd of proud locals lined the street behind barricades to get a glimpse of their local girl who’d made good. Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam was there to introduce her as she took the stage in the packed auditorium to tell everyone how thrilled she was to be attending a gala opening of one of her films in her own hometown for the first time in her career. But despite all the fuss over the Academy Award-winning actress, she was quick to point out at a press conference the next morning that the real focus of “The Good Lie” was not her character but the “Lost Boys of Sudan” — children who were orphaned by a brutal civil war and suffered unimaginable hardship during their long walk to safety in Kenya. “When I read Margaret Nagle’s script I was just so moved,” Witherspoon said. “And I enjoyed the idea that when I met with the director (Philippe Falardeau) ... the first thing he said to me was, ‘This movie isn’t about you. I just want to be really clear about that.’ “I’d never had a director say that to

me before, but it actually made me happy, because I didn’t want to make a movie where I was a white girl, an American girl coming to save the African people.”
Based on real events Nagel’s fictional story is based on real events beginning in the late 1980s, focusing on four Sudanese children — three boys and a girl — who escape the murderous northern militia, survive a 1,000-mile walk across treacherous terrain and reach the security of the United Nations’ Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya. Thirteen years later, in 2000, a humanitarian effort brings 3,600 lost boys and girls — including the four main characters, now young adults played by Sudanese actors Arnold Oceng, Ger Duany, Emmanuel Jal and newcomer Kuoth Wiel — to the United States. While the girl is sent to a foster home in Boston, the young men are directed to Kansas City, Mo., where they are met by Carrie Davis (Witherspoon), an employment agency counselor who reluctantly accepts the assignment of finding them jobs — a tough task at best, since these Bible-reading innocents have never seen running water, light switches or telephones. Carrie is a determinedly independent single woman who consciously avoids any kind of emotional entanglements, but she gradually warms

to this trio of “Lost Boys,” finally dedicating herself to helping them overcome their culture shock and become acclimated to the customs and technology of life in America. “My character is just as emotionally distraught, she’s just as lost, she’s just as without family as they are,” Witherspoon said, “And I thought that was sort of a beautiful opportunity to talk about family is where you find it.” Witherspoon allows that she knew very little of the tragic plight of the “Lost Boys” until she was approached about doing “The Good Lie.” Although she wasn’t required to appear in any of the scenes shot on location in Africa, she felt compelled to visit the Kakuna refugee camp in Kenya to witness firsthand the conditions there, and she took her 14-year-old daughter along. “I came from a place of not knowing,” Witherspoon said. “Other than, I think, a random newspaper article, I knew very little about the story. A lot of the things I learned were from talking to Emmanuel and Ger, and sometimes we’d be doing a scene and I’d say, ‘You did that. Did that happen?’ And Ger would tell us stories about being a young boy and walking all that way. And what it was like, it’s hard to conceive, you know? “And then at the very end of filming we got to go to the Kakuma refugee camp. Even though I didn’t shoot any scenes there, I didn’t want to
just go home to my life. I wanted to see what it was like. So I took my daughter and we went, and it was really, uh, it was very emotional seeing 250,000 people displaced and sleeping on concrete slabs, and just the sprawl of that many people, 12 different languages being spoken, seven different religions, very little health care, very little food. “It just really brought it all home to me that this (film) is an opportunity to raise awareness, but it’s also an opportunity to create change.”
Learning and helping Witherspoon noted that many of the Sudanese refugees that were brought to the U.S. have become valuable members of society with much to offer. “They’re doctors, they’re educators, they’re community leaders, and essentially they’re displaced,” she said. “So it’s been a really amazing process. “Even two days ago in D.C. (at another advance screening of the film), all these wonderful men and women from the Sudan were there, and they’re doing incredible things in America. One of them is a war veteran from Iraq and Afghanistan, another is a community leader. So, it’s been really an education for me to learn about refugees and their contributions to society, and we can, hopefully, get more of them out of their situation.” — Gene Triplett, entertainment writer

‘Equalizer’ almost adds all the way up, but falls short
“T
he Equalizer” serves up Denzel Washington at his coolest. Eyes weary with experience but still taking it all in, skull shaved to hide the advancing years, he still carries himself with the greatest, most masculine movie star walk since John Wayne’s. Antoine Fuqua, also Washington’s “Training Day” director, treats him worshipfully, reminding us what a treasure this Oscar-winning screen hero has been for the past 30 years. He’s almost too cool for this film, based on the ’80s TV series starring Edward Woodward as a former secret agent who uses his retirement years to make the world a better place, righting one wrong at a time. Robert McCall is a meticulous man, from the way he shelves concrete mix at the home-improvement warehouse store where he works to

the ordered, spare apartment of shelved books and freshly-washed dishes where he lives. He brings his own tea bag, carefully wrapped, to his favorite Boston diner when he can’t sleep, a place to read some novel from the list of 100 greatest books in English. And he notices things. Like the fresh black eye that aspiring singer/teen hooker Teri’s wearing. We’ve seen he’s a helpful guy, physically coaching an obese colleague to prep him for a physical for a security guard job. He tries to help Teri (Chloe Grace Moretz). And that’s when we discover the past this fastidious, working-class man has been hiding. “Got to be who we are in this world,” he says with a shrug. He sizes up a room full of Russian mobsters, the camera catching the engraved knife one thug is fingering, the bottle next to another, the corkscrew a tattooed, musclebound bartender is using. We know he’s working out
the geometry of a brawl. We see what’s coming. And it’ll be bloody. Washington’s McCall rarely lets us see pangs of guilt, a promise he made to not return to the life of violence. And he never lets us see McCall lose his cool. The villains, as they do in such morality tales, never do what’s good for them. Through it all, Washington’s stillness is emphasized, so much so that the film slows down just to make sure we appreciate the presence and the talent behind it. And Fuqua, building on material even thinner than last week’s slightly inferior “A Walk Among the Tombstones,” draws this out, announcing “Equalizer” as a franchise in the making. Which is a shame. He almost turns Washington, an invited, warmly embraced dinner guest, into that guest who doesn’t know when to leave. — Roger Moore, Tribune News Service

‘THE BOX TROLLS’
movie review

Creature feature only stunted by lukewarm story
T
he scariest thing about “The Boxtrolls” isn’t the monsters. It’s safe to say that the grown-up characters in this stop-motion animated feature are far more gruesome and maniacal than any boxed troll. But at least they look good doing it, and for that you can blame Laika. That’s the Portland, Ore.-based studio responsible for churning out the creepy Oscar-nominated hits “Coraline” and “Paranorman.” This time, they went in an overwhelmingly weird and absurd direction with “The Boxtrolls.” The movie is set in a strange Victorian town and involves a twisted exterminator named Archibald Snatcher (passionately voiced by Ben Kingsley), who feverishly works to wipe out the
LOOKATOKC.COM
troll population in a demented power grab. All the while, the trolls timelessly tinker with homespun inventions and for the most part just live underground peacefully. Oh, and they are raising a lost human boy (named Eggs because of his box label, of course) who’s blind to the fact he resembles a troll like I resemble a box of toaster strudels. “Family comes in all shapes and sizes.” That was the flick’s teased tagline several months ago when the movie first surfaced. Something must have gotten lost in translation, because “The Boxtrolls” doesn’t dwell so much on that message as much as it basks in its awkward characters. The story is very simple, but it plays second fiddle to all things strange. Much of the humor is sparked by inept adults and Eggs’ unfamiliar-
ity with human culture. He thinks shaking hands involves wiggling his fingers in the air. “The Boxtrolls” doesn’t lack charm, but it’s missing a unique story to match its funky characters. Stop-motion animation is such a vast undertaking, and this movie is absolutely a technical marvel. It’s a flawless combination of stop-motion and CGI with an exceptional voice cast. I only wish a little more time could have been spent on the story. The movie’s message more or less gets tacked onto the third act, when our hero states, “You make you.” And a fine lesson at that, but “The Boxtrolls” just has a funny way of showing it. — Nathan Poppe, LOOKatOKC Editor

isplaced familiarity is the foundation of the new R&J Lounge and Supper Club, 320 NW 10 St., which is far from the usual inspiration for the modern
restaurateur. But chefs Jonathon Stranger and Russ Johnson are far from usual chefs. The first time Stranger and Johnson collaborated on a restaurant, the result was the game-changing, farm-to-fork concept Ludivine, 801 N Hudson Ave., where the menu doesn’t look familiar from one week to the next. Now they’ve created a concept boasting a menu that will feature familiar drinks and dishes, but not because you’re used to seeing them on menus. “We wanted to do a concept that captures the spirit of the old-school cocktail lounge,” Johnson said. “And we wanted the food to be a tribute to the American supper club of the late 1950s, early 1960s.” That’s right, they want to serve your parents’ (or grandparents’) cocktail and dinner party menu, six days a week in a tiny space in the heart of Midtown’s growth area. If you’ve paid any attention to what the dynamic duo has accomplished in their time at the leading edge of Oklahoma City’s dining scene, it’s clear what they do is closer to a culinary art installation than a traditional restaurant experience. If that idea escapes you in relation to Ludivine, it won’t at the R&J Lounge and Supper Club — the R&J for short. The retro lounge behind the metal door is a modern incarnation of Professor Peabody’s Wayback Machine — with cocktails. Russ (the R) and Jonathon (the J) teamed with Chip Fudge to turn the back of the old Arrow Printing building into the kind of place Don Draper would’ve come to unwind after a threemartini lunch at Junior’s because the Wilshire Club was full. How else can you explain the authenticity of the gold wallpaper raining red velveteen stripes, brass-tacked rich, Corininthian leatherlike upholstery above the bar, on chairs and backing the one corner booth, or the lava-rock and white-grout indoor-outdoor fireplace topped by a conquistador head carved out of wood? The idea wasn’t to appeal to Baby Boomers (or their parents) by offering classic high balls, a menu that puts the

kitsch in kitchen, pin-up girl posters and an old record player. “We wanted this to be an experiential concept,” Stranger said the day before opening the R&J. “But we want it to feel like cocktail lounge of that time period. At the same time, we don’t want it to be only an homage. This is a modern bar.” They are keeping the good stuff from the late 1950s to early 1960s and dispensing with the forgettable. That means a leatherish bound menu with clip-art lobsters and grasshoppers in a font common to menus at restaurants and clubs of yore desperate for ratpacking hipsters and the disposable income they left behind as if it were ballast beneath the back tires of fast-departing coupes. It means red candles on the tables, low lighting and serving dishes as retro as the fonts used to list them on the menu. But it also means not limiting things for the sake of nostalgia. “We didn’t want the music to be limited to the music of the era,” Stranger said. “So Ferris O’Brien (of The Spy-FM) has curated a soundscape that fits our concept.” That’s right, the R&J has it’s own soundtrack. It also devotes a section of the cocktail menu to tiki drinks, which are served with umbrellas and fresh fruit in gauche ceramic mugs. ‘NEVER BEEN AS GOOD AS THIS’ The first of the entrees I sampled was the beef stroganoff, which a gush of buttery-warm nostalgia from my palate, down my spine and to the tips of my toes. “This was my grandmother’s recipe,” Johnson said. “Hers is the best. I’ve recreated this dish at every restaurant I’ve ever worked in, trying to elevate it with fancy cuts of meat or fresh, exotic mushrooms, but they’ve never been as good as this.” Ground beef, thick noodles, canned mushrooms and rich sauce is the typical stroganoff of the American household, so, too, is it typical of the R&J. Other entrees include chicken and dumplings, mussels mariniere, steak frites, croque tartine Parisienne, pork and beans and a lobster roll. And don’t sleep on the lamb burger, which offers the ferocity of the gyros sandwich if you add some blue cheese. Liquor lined up in the bar at R&J Lounge and Supper Club, Thursday Sept. 25, 2014.

The R&J, which seats 32 inside and whatever reasonable mingling space lies in between plus a well-lit patio that could double capacity, isn’t as localcentric as Ludivine. But you will find a strong sampling of hyper-local bread from Prairie Thunder Baking Co. used throughout the menu. For appetizers, they offer a relish tray, spread tray, cheesy crab toast and cocktail wieners. Aside from tiki drinks, you’ll find a jarring selection of boozy beverages long disappeared from cocktail menus because their presence is a foregone conclusion at any self-respecting watering hole: vodka and soda, gin and tonic, 7&7, gin Rickey, the Gimlet, the Gibson, Harvey Wallbanger, Tom Collins, old fashioned, rusty nail, grasshopper and side car, to name just a few. The inclusion of Little Kings, which came on the market in 1958, to the drink menu is the cherry on top. “I never opened my grandmother’s refrigerator that it wasn’t full of Little Kings,” Johnson said. ATMOSPHERE IS STAR The attention to detail on display at the R&J is no accident. Johnson said the greatest challenge in writing the menu was showing restraint. “We feel like the atmosphere is the star, and we don’t want to take away from that,” Johnson said. That doesn’t mean mediocre food and drinks; it means food that is made perfectly according to tradition and

cocktails made strictly by the book to compliment the low-fidelity, high-spirit setting they’ve created. Just like a good book, film or song, the R&J transports its admirers into a world from the collective imagination of its creators. Patrons are invited to not only experience the expression but expand upon it with their participation. Johnson and Stranger have done their part, lending their able shoulders to local culture by spearheading the sensational H&8th Night Market; luring the internationally renowned Outstanding in the Field event to Oklahoma for three straight years (including the upcoming rendition on Oct. 9 at Sandy Springs Farms in Hinton — find tickets online at outstandinginthefield.com/events/); and diving head first into the OK Chefs Relief events with chefs Danny Bowien, Rick Bayless and Kurt Fleischfresser. Whether Johnson and Stranger are able to add to their already considerable contribution to local culture is up to the public. Like practically everything these chefs do, the concept is high-risk for them and high-reward for us. We’re not obligated to like it, but we’re remiss not to check it out. The only way local movements survive is by folks supporting the courage it takes to choose aspire to art in a world where craft will pay the rent and cover the cost of the occasional jet ski. The R&J Lounge and Supper Club is open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Saturdays. Find more information online at www.rjsupperclub.com.
