his week’s BY NATHAN POPPE cover story LOOKATOKC EDITOR has spent a NPOPPE@OPUBCO.COM few years in the making. I first learned about MRD frontman Brantley Cowan back in 2011, when I was working at a local ad agency. I got a phone call from security saying that a package was delivered to the front desk and it was for me. Could it have been from a saucy secret admirer? Could the box be filled with nachos or perhaps a melted but well-meaning ice cream cake? I had to know. CAKE COULD BE ON THE LINE. It ended up being a letter and a press kit from Cowan. The package contained MRD’s first EP too. The experience was memorable because it showed me just how much he really wanted me to listen to that album. I obliged and wrote a column that ran in LOOKatOKC. On Dec. 12, Cowan is finally releasing the follow up to that inaugural album. It’s called the “Prague EP,” and it’s a really great effort. But even more interesting is Cowan’s road to get this new EP released. It took him every part of two years to recover from a crippling back injury, rebuild the MRD line-up from scratch and overcome a handful of other setbacks that would have kept me crying in bed for a few weeks. I can’t thank Cowan enough for trusting me with his story. This is the first time he’s telling it in full, and he trusted me to share it with you. I think this issue you’re holding is the absolute best way to read the story. Cowan shared dozens of photographs from his time recording in Prague to help make this a more engaging, interesting piece. He even exclusively debuted a track with us on NewsOK that you can hear now. Cowan told me he wants this story to inspire people to pursue what they love doing and to not give up when things get tough. I know I tend to be hopelessly optimistic, but I think this story has the power to do that. Hearing Cowan share his struggles was an experience I’ll never forget. Thanks again, Brantley. Best of luck in 2015. Musician Brantley Cowan, who has recovered from a broken back, is photographed inside rehearsal space in Oklahoma City. Photo by Bryan Terry, for LOOKatOKC

er language, not bound by words, offers powerful expressions of hope to promote healing and cultural education in the Native American community. This language translates to bold hues balanced with sizeable figures blocked out in white representing the past artist J. Nicole Hatfield wants the world to remember. Hatfield, who once found it difficult to share her feelings verbally, fought her way out of depression with a paintbrush. “My paintings are my voice. All of the colors are my emotions,” Hatfield said. Hatfield is a painter of the Comanche and Kiowa Nations and a proud Numunuu Khoiye-goo woman. Her experiences growing up in Apache helped to sharpen her voice and confront community issues through art. “A lot of my art is directed towards Native American youth. I want them to remember their ancestors, their culture, their language and I want them to continue to carry that on,” Hatfield said. Many of Hatfield’s paintings contain words written in her ancestral tongue (Comanche and Kiowa) in effort to educate onlookers and promote language education for the youths. “I want my son to be involved with and under-

stand his culture, traditions and language. I want to be a role model for him and for the native community, where there’s a lot of alcohol problems and suicide,” she said. “I want to show there are positive alternatives to overcome these issues.” At the age of 15, Hatfield found herself in a personal battle with depression and found it difficult to express her feelings with words. It was then that she began to paint. “I have dealt with suicide and alcohol, and in order for me to get through my suicide attempt and heal myself, I started painting,” she said. “I knew I had to find something positive to get those emotions out. Painting is how I overcame the depression that I found myself in. Art is healing, art is medicine!” With the desire to inspire courage and perseverance, Hatfield paints many indigenous warriors and public figures, and highlights women’s issues. Her desire to empower women is evident in her painting “Sacred: Respect, Protect and Love.” “Sacred is my favorite piece because we need to remember that our women deserve respect,” she said. “There are a lot of unsolved missing persons and murder cases involving women in our native communities across the U.S. and we need justice and more awareness around issues involving native women because you hardly see these cases in the media. They seem to get overlooked but
we are still here.” In the U.S., indigenous women have experienced some of the highest rates of physical assault. The U.S. Department of Justice finds that nearly half of all Native American women have been stalked, physically abused, or raped by an intimate partner. Non-Native American men commit 86 percent of rapes and sexual assaults against Native American women and women on reservations are murdered at a rate 10 times higher than the national average. “We need to remember that Earth is our mother and women are very important in our culture. I think that if we can get back to loving our women and respecting our women, maybe we can start respecting the Earth and everything around us,” said Hatfield. “By sharing my story I hope that it helps someone. Even though it’s hard to do, I believe it’s important to talk about suicide, particularly with the youth, so that suicide can stop.” Hatfield’s work is on permanent display at Jacobson House Art Center, 609 Chautauqua Avenue. in Norman. Her work can also be seen through March 2015 at Paseo Art Works, 3005 Paseo in Oklahoma City. — Ebony Iman Dallas, designer and art speaks writer

Song cycle offers a few hits in time for the holidays
I
t’s almost Christmas time and that means it’s near the end of the music year so new songs are fewer and further between but that will not deter us. Here are a few songs to check out to get you in the holiday spirit.
LOS CAMPESINOS! — “WHEN CHRISTMAS COMES”
Here’s a festive, depressing Los Campesinos song about a Christmas Eve brought down by torrential rain and falling stockings to usher in the season. I never would’ve thought of Los Campesinos as an ideal candidate for Christmas tunes but here it makes perfect sense. There’s a violin hook and chimes —instruments not uncommon to the band’s usual arrangements— that give it a really nice jubilant holiday feel that disguises the downer subject matter. Which is great ’cause that means you can sneak it into the family holiday playlist.
NATALIE PRASS — “WHY DON’T YOU BELIEVE IN ME”
Natalie Prass has a voice like a gymnast: It’s nimble and strong and most recently you might have heard it singing backup on the road with
MATT CARNEY All about creating a deeper relationship with music.

Jenny Lewis in support of her great new record “The Voyager.” But early next year Prass’s voice will take center stage when her debut record comes out, featuring this rich, enchanting song “Why Don’t You Believe Me.” Prass sounds like a confident songwriter, too, and backed by a gorgeous throwback R&B production, lines like “by now we should know how cruel love can be” sound really fresh. The second verse though delves into the aftermath of that breakup, and Prass communicates uncertainty and selfdoubt like a pro. She’s a songwriter to watch out for.
MARY J. BLIGE AND DISCLOSURE — “FOLLOW”
Sound the alarm because we’ve got a great collaboration here. UK house duo Disclosure — a set of brothers, Guy and Howard Lawrence, just barely both in their 20’s — have enjoyed a quick rise to industry recognition since releasing a terrific debut record “Settle” last year. And although that album featured a lot of very talented singers — particularly fellow UK exports Sam Smith, Jessie Ware and Aluna Francis — none were of Mary J. Blige’s caliber. Working together, Disclosure and Mary J. sound like a natural fit. Her voice is so big and soulful but isn’t so traditional as to sound awkward on
“Bored in the USA” single cover.
a deep house jam like this one. And she sounds absolutely in charge here: “Don’t waste your time playing with my mind,” Blige sings, “or you’ll regret it.” Welcome back Mary, you’ve been missed.
FATHER JOHN MISTY — “BORED IN THE USA”
For sounding all dour and mawkish, I promise this is a really, really fun song. Josh Tillman, the former Fleet Fox, recently announced his second record as Father John Misty, his drawling, milquetoast indie-rock dude persona, and this new song titled “Bored in the USA” finds him at his Father John Misty-est, mocking American white dude clichés and the men who fret over them. Before “Bored in the USA” I was dismissive of Father John Misty but this ending, where he’s complaining about middle-class problems over a laugh track, has got me up on the bandwagon. The joke here isn’t in these problems themselves, it’s in how tedious Tillman sounds whining about them over somber piano chords, how insufferable it is to hear somebody complain about owning a home and needing to get a college degree. Maybe it’s just me, but I think it’s a really good joke.
MARK RONSON FEAT. MYSTIKAL — “FEEL RIGHT” So far, 39-year-old English musi-
cian Mark Ronson’s upcoming fourth record will feature collaborations with throwback pop star Bruno Mars and psychedelic rock genius Kevin Parker of Tame Impala. Those guys got me interested in what this record would sound like but now I’m fully invested in the project thanks to Ronson’s latest collaborator, Mystikal, who shows up scatting and shouting like James Brown in his prime here on the loose, funk-guitar romp “Feel Right.” This dude can clearly still rap nonsense smack talk with the best of them.
BRYAN FERRY — “DRIVING ME WILD”
It isn’t often you get a collaboration as juicy as this one. Singing we’ve got Bryan Ferry of Roxy Music fame, assisted by Smiths and Modest Mouse guitarist Johnny Marr and the inimitable Nile Rodgers backing up his vocals on the chorus. They’ve even got Marcus Miller on the track for good measure, a dude who played bass with Miles Davis. This impressive lineup’s all for a song called “Driving Me Wild” on Ferry’s forthcoming solo record “Avonmore,” that glides its way into this terrific groove for an entire mesmerizing three-and-a-half minutes. Meantime, Ferry gets pretty darn melodramatic about a relationship that went south, something that Roxy Music fans will probably gobble right up.

PEAKING LIGHTS ‘COSMIC LOGIC’
album review
Peaking Lights Photo provided
H
usband-and-wife psychedelic pop experimenters Peaking Lights have often lived in a strange world of bands right on the cusp that are weird enough to intrigue the curious ear, yet just out there enough to alienate those who go looking for something new. With “Cosmic Logic,” Indra Dunis’ voice takes center stage, and Aaron Coyes dials in and polishes the sound while still giving the record that signature twinge of bizarre that longtime Peaking Lights fans have come to love. It’s easy to tell that the focus is real with Peaking Lights on “Infinite Trips,” clean live instrumentation making itself known, accompanied by wonderfully gauzy synth tones that hark back to Oneohtrix Point Never upon the release of his GAMES project, which quickly turned into Ford and Lopatin. Excellent use of archaic keyboards and spot-on drum machines with “Telephone Call” back up Indra

in the best way possible, when she reminds us to “listen with your heart, not your ears.” The staccato and tone of the keys bring memories of The Knife’s “Deep Cuts” with a bit more of a dub-feel, which the band has been known to touch on, especially on 2011’s “936.” As a married duo, their life together with their two kids is bound to make its way into their music as it has previously, and you can't help but feel that it’s happened again with “Little Light.” “Shining through the open door, welcome to our humble world,” Indra sings, as if talking about one or both of their sons. It’s a beautiful tribute to new life from a loving mother. A standout on the record, “Bad With the Good” hustles and shuffles along a 16-bit sunset, accompanied by excellently used bongos, and Indra’s delicate voice dancing the whole way, regardless of the outcome. With “Cosmic Logic,” Coyes and Dunis step boldly into the world of accessible, whimsical pop that’s easily danceable and something that belongs entirely to the band, making it delightfully unique. Peaking
Lights continues to push and craft interesting records, and “Cosmic Logic” is the perfect turning point. — Kellen McGugan, entertainment writer

ARIEL PINK, ‘POM POM’
Ariel Pink Photo by Nathan Poppe, for LookatOKC
C
atchy, funny and zany are three quick ways to describe Ariel Pink’s latest masterpiece. “Pom pom” begins with an introduction into the mind of Pink with the lyric, “The sky was white and black and polka-dotted. It must have been an Ariel day.” It’s meant to yield a slight head turn coupled with a quizzical glance at the speakers, but it’s a fleeting reaction. The music underneath is celebratory and joyous. Drums bang as if they’re in a cartoon as grand marshal Ariel Pink marches on to show you all the treats he’s brought with him. Even though this album isn’t attributed to Pink’s Haunted Graffiti moniker, it contains plenty of noticeable horror movie influences. “Four Shadows” hints at darker tones fully realized a couple of tracks later on the album’s longest track. “Not Enough Violence” showcases Pink building explosive bursts of sound while howling about carnage, bodies and fertilizer. It’s a psychedelically grim track instantly balanced by follow-up single “Put Your Number in My Phone,” complete with the carefree inclusion of one of Pink’s voice mail messages from a girl he met at a taco truck. Even though songs like the surf rock “Nude Beach a Go-Go” or the cafeteria influenced “Jell-O” seem like jokes the first time through, the combination of goofy lyrics and carefree hooks will have you singing these songs in your head for weeks. Second single “Black Ballerina” only takes one spin to worm its way into your bloodstream with a bouncy beat and Pink’s unexpected trip to a strip club. What sounds like the peak of “pom pom” is quickly eclipsed by album standout “Picture Me Gone” that finds Pink describing a future with no physical pictures. It’s a song that could have ended up hokey if handled by anybody else. With an album this long and loaded with excellent songs, it’s tough to touch on all the highlights. Everyone loves a good parade, and Ariel Pink has crafted an album filled with songs worthy of clearing the streets to play for everyone to hear. — Beau Blackstock, entertainment writer
beau’ s tips FOR FANS OF: John Maus, Mac DeMarco, Girls.
FAVORITE LYRICS: “All I wanted was a girlfriend all my life, but she’s too sexual.” “I backed up all my pictures on my iCloud so you can’t see me when I die.” “The night sky lit your face like a mystery left uncovered.”

HELEN KELTER SKELTER, ‘HELEN KELTER SKELTER’
O
klahoma City natives and awesome name connoisseurs Helen Kelter Skelter have been making a racket during the past year, grabbing the attention of music fans and their peers alike for live shows that are both empowering and devilishly fun. The band touches a vein of psychedelic rock ’n’ roll with “Helen Kelter Skelter” that can be slow and heartwarmingly wobbly, then pulls the rug out from under your feet with the gut punch we all need every once in a while to remind us we’re mortal. The beautiful waltz of “Some Tight Rope” sways along merrily in a sort of daze. Honest and lovingly woozy, yet layered with poignant guitar that gives it that grit and grime needed to make you realize you’re not in a dream, “Some Tight Rope” showcases the band’s ability to set mood without frill. “Wish List” starts like something you’d expect from Australian rockers Pond, but to much surprise, burns freely into an open highway of a song, cruising gently, bobbing in and out of hallucinogenic beats
LOOKATOKC.COM
and an absolutely lethal lead guitar line that every kid wishes he wrote. Moments like this bring to light that, although HKS is making rock ’n’ roll in its purest form, the band refuses to be bound by rules laid down by those who came before. “Helouisa” is a prime example, with fits of fidgety guitar noise and bold experimentation with said noise and the space it occupies. On top of it all, the band could not ask for a better singer than Eli Wimmer. “Helen Kelter Skelter” is a beautiful record for the heartbroken and the heartbreakers. There’s a level of depth here that truly gives way to the fact that HKS is a mountain of potential. The genuine feeling of playing to a group of people in a dingy room that smells like warm beer and cigarettes, yet no one seems to mind because the music masks the pungent smell and makes memories out of it instead, is hard to bottle. It’s safe to say HKS has bottled that feeling in a record. — Kellen McGugan, entertainment writer

AZEALIA BANKS, ‘BROKE WITH EXPENSIVE TASTE’
Azealia Banks
A
zealia Banks’ first full-length was released this month, close to three years after the 2011 release of her smash single “212.” The importance of “212” can’t be overstated. With one YouTube music video, record labels rushed to sign what was clearly the next big thing in pop music. “212” perfectly captured Banks’ bratty attitude and showcased her quick-tongued rhyming. But the major labels couldn’t move as fast as Banks wanted. The result was a delay so long, “Broke With Expensive Taste” began drawing sarcastic comparisons to Dr. Dre’s longplanned “Detox” album. But unlike Dre’s album, “Broke With Expensive Taste” exists. The hour-long full-length sounds like a greatest hits album. Previously released songs hit with renewed force in the context of the album. Early album single “Yung Rapunxel” may not have made waves as big as “212” did, but it makes a much stronger appearance holding up the album’s middle section with a fiery intensity. It gives way to Banks showing off her singing prowess with “Soda” and “Chasing Time,” the latter her newest single and the former what I can imagine will be her next single. It’s jaw-dropping to think these pop gems are buried so deep in the album. A wide range of producers gives Banks opportunities to show off facets of her personality. She usually opts to keep her claws out, but it’s refreshing to hear her squeal with glee tackling Ariel Pink’s “Nude Beach A-Go-Go.” This album would’ve been an ahead-of-its-time masterpiece had it been released two years ago. Instead, it’s evidence that Banks’ expensive taste is to be trusted. — Beau Blackstock, entertainment writer

O
klahoma City band Tallows is a little difficult to characterize, particularly in the landscape of Oklahoma bands. Is it indie rock? Sort of. Are these pop songs? Yes. Is there a whole lot of other stuff also happening while those things are happening? Absolutely. Singer and multiinstrumentalist Josh Hogsett formed the group in 2012 with guitarist Richard Lindsey after their high school band dissolved. A couple of friends helped out temporarily until the lineup solidified with drummer Jay Sullivan and bassist Adam Thornbrugh. Tallows’ debut record,
LOOKATOKC.COM
2013’s “Memory Marrow,” was well received locally and nationally, and the band is working on a follow-up on the heels of two recently released singles. Q: How long have you been playing music? Did you have classical training? Josh Hogsett: I’ve played music since I was 8, and I’ve played in bands since high school. I was “trained” on guitar but not classically ... and I took piano lessons for about a week. Q: You’ve said you were a little green at the beginning of Tallows. What have you learned about yourself as a songwriter
or performer in the last two years? Hogsett: (Laughs) Are we getting deep now? I’ve learned that with writing lyrics, I don’t have to be as — what’s the word for it — metaphorical. People can connect with the songs better if you’re more descriptive and open instead of trying to hide things within songs. ... Yeah. That’s what I’ve learned. Q: You commissioned your last album’s cover art, you’ve done a TEDx event and you shot a performance video with dancers at the Magnolia Building in OKC. Why do you actively seek out these partnerships with other artists?
Hogsett: I really like collaborating with different art forms. It’s the same as with the song (newly released “Sea Sick”) that we did with Celadon City. We really like Ethan (Strange)’s style of writing. We really liked the way those dancers performed, so we just wanted to work on something with them. Q: You released another song by itself in September called “Sea Bitch.” What’s the story behind that one? Hogsett: We were contacted by Rough Trade records in New York. They were going to put together a compilation that was supposed to come out in
October, but I guess their last one didn’t do very well sales-wise, so they called it off. We’d already recorded that song for it, so we just put it out. Q: You’re in the studio now at 33rd Street in Edmond (where “Memory Marrow” was recorded). What do you like so much about this place? Hogsett: Our friend Tyler (Garcia) owns and operates that studio, and we’ve known him for a really long time. He’s just the best, the hardest worker we know when it comes to music. He’ll work on a song for hours upon hours. He really
puts the time and effort into things. Q: Your last album topped some best-of lists, and (single) “1414” topped the Oklahoma Rock Show’s best-of list last year. Does the way the last release was received add any pressure to what you’re working on now? Hogsett: No, not really. It’s awesome that people liked that album, but music is just open to interpretation. It’s not worth trying to please anybody. If they like it, they like it. — Becky Carman, entertainment writer

‘DUMB AND DUMBER TO’
MOVIE REVIEW ‘DUMB AND DUMBER TO’ PG-13 1:50 1 1⁄2 stars Starring: Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels, Kathleen Turner, Rachel Melvin, Rob Riggle and Laurie Holden. (Crude and sexual humor, partial nudity, language and some drug references)
‘To’ sad and stale, sequel falls short on tired laughs
T
wenty years after they permanently lowered the bar on broad and dumb character comedies, Lloyd and Harry are back, “Dumb and Dumber” than ever in “Dumb and Dumber To.” Within moments of the opening credits, you may find yourself overcome with sentimental warmth at seeing two 50-something actors as characters that the years have not made smarter. Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels energetically reprise their popular roles, and the warmth follows. Sure, it’s only trickling down your leg and never comes close to reaching your heart, but warmth is warmth, right? Those fart-joke farceurs, the Farrellys, reteam with their stars and an equally aged supporting cast for a film of occasional funny lines, random uproarious sight gags and bodily function jokes, all scented with a whiff of sad desperation. They’re “Stooges” in a post-“Hangover” world, and the staleness shows. Harry visits a catatonic, bearded Lloyd in a rest home only to learn he’s been the butt of Lloyd’s 20year-long practical joke. His comeuppance? Harry enlists two groundskeepers to help him yank out Lloyd’s catheter (after changing his colostomy bag, with his teeth, of course).
Page 16
December 3 - December 16, 2014
And they’re off, doubling up on a Schwinn to visit Harry’s estranged Asian parents and then the aged, bloated floozy (Kathleen Turner, enduring jokes about her current appearance) who supposedly had Harry’s baby and gave her up for adoption, decades ago. Harry needs a kidney donor. So the 50-something “10-year-olds” motor to Maryland and then El Paso in search of the dopey bombshell (Rachel Melvin, out of her depth) who might be his donor-daughter, The Farrellys, who peaked with the raunchy, rude and yet romantic “There’s Something About Mary” in 1998, hurl miss-or-hit sight gags and throw-away lines at us. Six credited writers and you get malapropisms such as “It’s all water under the fridge,” and “That’s just a suburban legend!” Carrey ensures that he gets almost all the funny lines here. But the fetching Miss Melvin tries her hand at a couple as her character wonders if she should “go to India and volunteer at one of those Leprechaun colonies!” The road trips, with Rob Riggle playing a malevolent schemer trying to keep them from reaching Harry’s daughter, have an epic fart joke, but too many lame zingers to get them or us all the way across the country.
Carrey’s recent appearance on “Saturday Night Live” reminded us of his gift for mimicry, and his post-Farrelly films have shown ambition and flashes of brilliance. Daniels has been reliably funny in a wide range of comedies over the decades. They can still bring it. Watching Carrey eat a mustarddrenched hot dog is positively Keatonesque — Buster, not Michael. Truth be told, I was never a fan of the first “Dumber,” but the stars made it endurable and convincingly stupid. Here, they’re sometimes funny and sometimes just forlorn. They’re better than this, no matter how good they are at hiding the fact that they know it. A whole generation has grown up on the antics of these two Rhode Island rubes, so a little nostalgia isn’t unwarranted. Box office hopes for this prepackaged but very late sequel should be high. But the strain shows in the wizened-but-not-wiser stars. It’s just that comedy left the Farrellys behind more than 10 years ago, and even their best efforts at reviving their PG-13 Three Stooges style feels oldfashioned and tired. — Roger Moore, Tribune News Service

(Intense sequences of violence and action, some disturbing images and thematic material)
Blockbuster franchise’s grim yet enthralling third film takes flight
K
atniss Everdeen goes to war, but the games are still on in the grim yet enthralling “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1.” Although “Mockingjay — Part 1” occasionally feels too long on setup and too short on emotional payoff, author Suzanne Collins’ trilogy capper often seemed rushed. Director Francis Lawrence and screenwriters Peter Craig and Danny Strong split the difference, delving into intriguing political themes and mining a scarily symmetrical storyline out of the first half of the novel, even if the results seem a bit padded. It’s nearly impossible to give too much credit to Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence for getting “Mockingjay — Part 1” off the ground. She’s such a canny actress, it’s hard not to get swept up in Katniss’ confusion, heartache and outrage. After being rescued from her second fight in the titular televised blood sport, a shellshocked Katniss, her family and her best friend Gale (Liam Hemsworth) take refuge in the underground military facility in District 13, because their mining home, District 12, has been bombed out of existence. District 13 was thought to be wiped out during the last war against

It turns out Hunger Games Head Gamemaker Plutarch Heavensbee (the late Philip Seymour Hoffman) secretly turned on the Capitol and plotted with Katniss’ fellow Hunger Games victors — the tech-savvy Betee (Jeffrey Wright), the lethal heartthrob Finnick (Sam Claflin) and her District 12 mentor Haymitch (Woody Harrelson) — to spirit the girl out of the arena and into District 13 so she could formally take her place as the Mockingjay, the face of the new war. But Katniss is consumed with survivor’s guilt because her rescuers left behind her fellow District 12 tribute Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson). When a noticeably changed Peeta starts appearing on Capitol television denouncing the rebels, Katniss is sure the diabolical President Snow (Donald Sutherland) has found a terrible way of coercing her friend’s calls for a ceasefire. So she strikes a deal with District 13’s cold-blooded President Coin (Julianne Moore): Katniss will become the Mockingjay if Coin will res-
cue Peeta at the earliest opportunity and pardon him for any crimes, including betraying the rebellion. Much of Collins’ story delves into the power of propaganda; she might not be inside the Hunger Games arenas, but Katniss is still a piece in a political chess match. The teenager is issued an official Mockingjay outfit, reunited with her Hunger Games handler Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks) and put on a sound stage to tape “propos.” But Katniss is a woman of action and not an actress, so she is assigned her own film crew and a director, Cressida (Natalie Dormer), and dispatched with Gale and District 13’s Col. Boggs (Mahershala Ali) into a battle zone. Collins wrote the books about the horrors of war, and the director doesn’t hesitate to give us horrors in first half of his franchise’s final chapter, whether Katniss is shooting down bombers or crunching through the boneyard that used to be her home. If it doesn’t quite soar, “Mockingjay — Part 1” at least flies true to the book and provides a promising setup for the series’ actual finale. — Brandy McDonnell, entertainment writer

‘PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR’
MOVIE REVIEW ‘PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR’ PG 1:32 2 1⁄2 stars Starring: The voices of Tom McGrath, Chris Miller, Christopher Knights, John Malkovich, Benedict Cumberbatch, Ken Jeong, Annet Mahendru and Peter Stormare. (Mild action and some rude humor)
Bird-brained comedy is fast, funny and pretty forgettable
T
he super-spy wannabes seize the bigscreen spotlight for the first time with “Penguins of Madagascar,” a funny, frenetic and ultimately forgettable spin-off. Although they’ve had their own TV series since 2008, the zany but impressively coordinated team — fearless but clueless leader Skipper (voice of Tom McGrath); brains of the operation Kowlaski (Chris Miller); always hungry and mostly silent brute Rico (Conrad Vernon); and sweet-natured novice Private (Christopher Knights) — have been limited to a supporting role among the veritable menagerie of critter characters in the popular “Madagascar” movies. Not surprisingly, a little goes a long way when it comes to these wisecracking waterfowl, even if they get stellar support from franchise newcomers Benedict Cumberbatch and John Malkovich. DreamWorks’ computer-animated romp starts with a flashback to Antarctica, where the hordes of marching penguins are so cute and cuddly that they are constantly surrounded by a documentary filmmaker (Werner Herzog, in one of the movie’s smartest moments) and his camera crew. The young Skipper, Kowalski and Rico break ranks to rescue a runaway egg that hatches into Private, cementing a dynamic in which the team’s youngest member gets no respect from his cohorts. Flashing forward, the story picks up where “Ma-

dagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted” left off, with the penguins so desperate to escape the omnipresent ditty “Afro Circus” that they shoot themselves out of a cannon and into their own adventure. They are intercepted by a villainous octopus named Dave (Malkovich), who resents penguins because flocks of the adorable birds, including the “Madagascar” foursome, have overshadowed him at zoos and aquariums around the world. With an octopus army at his disposal and an eccentric human scientist alter ego in place, he starts kidnapping penguins from across the globe. He plans to use his mysterious green invention, the Medusa serum, to exact his revenge on the aquatic birds. The penguin heroes also encounter a deeppocketed, tech-savvy covert team named North Wind. The elite interspecies task force — gung ho leader Classified (Cumberbatch), a gray wolf; smart and sexy intelligence analyst Eva (Annet Mahendru), a snowy owl; mouthy explosives expert Short Fuse (Ken Jeong), a harp seal; and softhearted heavy Corporal (Peter Stormare), a Norwegian polar bear — is dedicated to rescuing animals who can’t help themselves. To them, that includes the penguins, to the outrage of Skipper, who believes he and his pals are espionage experts. As expected, both crews are determined to thwart Dave’s sinister scheme, and they have to
learn to work together, even as Private keeps looking for a way to prove he should be treated as a valued member of Team Penguin. Directors Eric Darnell and Simon J. Smith keep the globe-trotting story barreling along at a frantic pace, zipping through nearly nonstop jokes and action sequences. For hyperactive kiddos, it’s all great fun, but for any adult who hasn’t consumed a bucket of caffeine, it’s almost as exhausting as it is entertaining. Although it sneaks in some clever and irreverent witticisms and send-ups, “Penguins of Madagascar” primarily plays to children instead of whole families. It mostly gets its laughs from goofy sight gags and groaner puns incorporating celebrity names. It may not reach the artistic and creative heights of the “How to Train Your Dragon” or “Shrek” movies, but the spin-off should appeal to children along a fairly wide age spectrum, from tiny tots to tweens. It’s practically the perfect animated offering for Thanksgiving weekend, dishing up a quick 92 minutes of spy action and silly laughs that will get the family out of the house but will largely be forgotten by the time the pumpkin pie is served. — Brandy McDonnell, entertainment writer

HAYAO MIYAZAKI ON BLUE RAY

Miyazaki means magic as three films by the Japanese animation master debut on Blu-ray
Japanese filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki’s 1989 animated film “Kiki’s Delivery Service” debuted Tuesday on Blu-ray. Photo provided==
F
or many film fans and families, the name Hayao Miyazaki has become synonymous with magic. The Japanese animation master, 73, perhaps best known for 2001’s “Spirited Away,” has spent his illustrious career crafting movies full of deep magic. They are frequently whimsical and never less than visually stunning, but he also imbues his stories with meaning and mystery all too often missing in American animated movies. This week, Disney released on Blu-ray Englishdubbed versions of three Miyazaki films — 1989’s “Kiki’s Delivery Service,” 1997’s “Princess Mononoke” and his directorial swan song, 2013’s “The Wind Rises” — that provide a fine cross-section of the Oscar-winning filmmaker’s deservedly celebrated filmography. Miyazaki’s movies most often feature strong, smart and independent female protagonists (although “Princess Mononoke” and “The Wind Rises” prove that his boys aren’t too shabby, either) who get caught up in fantastical adventures, often facing off with antagonists who not only aren’t wholly bad but also have many redeeming qualities. He doesn’t hesitate to make his stories complicated, even convoluted, to leave some elements enigmatic or unexplained, and to evoke feelings of fear, sorrow or wonder. Especially wonder. Miyazaki’s joyously kaleidoscopic, finely detailed hand-drawn animation is simply the stuff Blu-ray was made for, and seeing “Kiki’s Delivery Service” in rich high-definition for the first time made the imaginative fairy tale even more captivating. The first film from Miyazaki’s Studio Ghibli to be
LOOKATOKC.COM
released under its distribution partnership with The Walt Disney Co., “Kiki’s Delivery Service” is a stellar introduction to the filmmaker’s ingenious art. Like his fantasy films “My Neighbor Totoro” and “Ponyo,” it is a charming coming-of-age tale appropriate for the whole family, even tiny tots. It is the tale of Kiki (Kirsten Dunst lends her voice to the title character in the English-language version), a witch who follows tradition and leaves home to train on her own at age 13. Traveling with only her talking black cat Jiji (the late Phil Hartman), she flies on her broomstick to the port city of Koriko, where she befriends a kind baker, captures the fancy of a geeky boy obsessed with aviation and establishes a delivery service that takes her on many adventures. When her fears and insecurities start to get the best of her, though, her magical powers begin to wane. With its bloody scenes of war and long, twisty storyline, Miyazaki’s acclaimed epic “Princess Mononoke,” like his “Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind” and “Spirited Away,” is more suited for older children. When brave young Prince Ashitaka (Billy Crudup, leading the all-star English-speaking cast) falls under a mortal curse while trying to protect his village from a rampaging animal demon, rather than just lie down and die, he travels west to retrace the creature’s steps. The prince gets caught in a fierce war between ambitious industrialist Lady Eboshi (Minnie Driver), who is building a mining empire by leveling huge swaths of an ancient forest, and the animal gods who protect the forest, including San (Claire Danes), a girl raised by magical wolf spirits, earning her the name Princess Mononoke (or “Monster”). The intense animated story delves into
themes about the environment and industry, war and peace, hatred and love.
COMPELLING DEPARTURE Miyazaki’s films are like a portal into someone else’s most vivid dreams, and dream sequences are a vital part of what he says will be the final feature film he directs, “The Wind Rises,” which made my list of top 10 movies of 2013. In a departure from his previous features, Miyazaki’s fictionalized biopic of Jiro Horikoshi (Joseph Gordon-Levitt, headlining another stellar Hollywood voice cast), whose childhood dream of designing innovative aircraft leads to him devising some of the deadliest fighters used by the Japanese in World War II, is made primarily about adults, for adults. Still, the movie boasts Miyazaki’s usual flights of fancy, along with one of the most soul-stirring tragic romances of recent cinematic memory, as Jiro marries the girl of his dreams, Nahoko (Emily Blunt), even though she is fatally ill with tuberculosis. In August, Studio Ghibli announced it was temporarily halting production following Miyazaki’s retirement. It’s heartbreaking enough to think that Miyazaki has made his last feature, so, hopefully, his studio will continue to bring life to engaging characters like the bold Kiki, fantastical creatures like the wobble-headed kodoma forest spirits and moving stories like Jiro’s quest to live life to the fullest as long as the wind rises. — Brandy McDonnell, entertainment writer

hatever holiday joy and comfort you can muster this season, save it for the cinema. Besides a small offering of comedy and family flicks, it’s looking a lot like Oscar season. Familiar epics from Ridley Scott and Peter Jackson will make a big, loud splash, but it’s the dramas that will be worth catching. Leave the kids at home for “Wild” and “Foxcatcher,” where the typical romantic comedy stars and funnymen take quite a serious turn. “Selma” is set to tackle the civil rights movement, and “Inherent Vice” looks about as bonkers as anything Paul Thomas Anderson has ever cooked up.

A tale from the Old Testament is retold by Hollywood once again. “Top Five” is a comedy written, directed by and starring Chris Rock as Andre Allen, a comedian turned film star who, to the dismay of his multitude of fans, is determined to transform
himself into a serious actor. But his latest, pretentious historical film is flopping, his potentially disastrous marriage to a popular reality star (Gabrielle Union) is fast approaching, and his scheduled interview with sharp, no-nonsense New Yorker reporter (Rosario Dawson) may change his life forever.

rantley Cowan’s 15-foot fall onto a cold, concrete floor shattered a vertebra, severely injuring his spine. His music career came to a grinding halt after the nearly fatal fluke accident last year. If you don’t know Cowan, he’s the 30-something frontman of MRD, an Oklahoma City-based band that makes booming, arenasized rock songs big enough for the silver screen.

He did that, and since has toured through Europe with Matt Stansberry, played at Cain’s Ballroom and even graced the main stage at Norman Music Festival 5. He has crossed a lot off of the proverbial Okie musician bucket list. “I’ve done all these things, but it’s been a ton of work, too,” Cowan said. “You get so awesome at the grind that you don’t stop and think about that.” For the past couple of years though, Cowan has had nothing but stops. You wouldn’t have guessed that in 2012. Digging through his
Facebook, I found this post from Cowan. “Stay tuned! In the coming months, MRD will be releasing our album we recorded in Prague, Czech Republic. Currently we are wrapping up mixing before being mastered in LA. 2013 will be a great year for MRD!” That was before Cowan cheated death. Before a few MRD members would shrink to a couple of revolving members. Before Cowan’s “Prague EP” effort took a huge nap. But to Cowan, those are just the speed bumps along the way to Dec. 12, when the “Prague EP”
gets its official digital release. So, what took so long? It all started with a trip to the hospital.
The fall Back in January 2013, Cowan’s former drummer was finishing a construction gig at a local business and asked for help. The two were running cable through a ceiling, and as Cowan finished the last wire, he slipped. The ladder dropped out from under him, and he fell 15 feet. He suffered a burst fracture, with vertebra fragments impacting his spinal cord. This is the kind of injury you don’t usually get up

from. The one that puts 32 staples into your back. The one that means you’re wearing a catheter for the rest of your life instead of a guitar. Cowan said doctors gave him less than a coin flip’s chance that he’d walk again. Take a second to relax. Cowan bounced back. He can walk now and claimed during our October interview that he’s close to 100 percent again. “Doctors were like, ‘You’re a frickin’ miracle and this has never happened to anybody we’ve had in here,’” Cowan said. After a few weeks at the hospital, Cowan took his first steps. He made it 20 feet before needing a shot to calm his body back down. About a month later, he was moving with a walker and had his sights set on playing at the SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas.

Walk star “Really, the first time that I walked much without my walker would have been SXSW, and that probably wasn’t advised,” Cowan said. “I wasn’t gonna take the walker up on stage with me.” Because rock stars don’t use walkers. Armed with a shining gold guitar and a back brace, Cowan made the trip to Austin and performed on a Sixth Street rooftop during the 2013 Buffalo Lounge showcase of Oklahoma talent. I remember that set because I couldn’t believe he was walking again, let alone performing without his original MRD lineup. Cowan wore a back brace and sweated through a 20-minute set with a stripped-down three-piece performance.

“I was super short of breath, and it was very hard on me, but I think because I had a positive thing in my life, it made me appreciate being able to play music that much more,” Cowan said. “So that’s why, even as disappointing as it was having to change your own band members at the time, it doesn’t mean I have to stop playing music.” Nothing stops Cowan from pursuing music. Even after he returned home from Austin and had found his trailer stolen. Even when he bought a puppy and it passed away unexpect-
edly. Even when his Kickstarter campaign fell a couple thousand dollars short of its goal. None of that seems to even get Cowan feeling sorry for himself. “So, it’s like my life from now to then is light years away, and I felt like that was like the dark ages of my life,” Cowan said. “I just want to be able to do what I love to do, and for me, I honestly think I’m going to come back from this way better. It’s forced me to have to take a step back, and I think my future with music has taken on a whole new direction.”
Mr. Brightside If you see Cowan acoustically, then you’ll only get a taste of that arena rock sound he crafted on his new album. But it’s safe to expect you’ll be able to see his enthusiasm for music. “I feel like I’ve had to put things on the shelf for so long and try to just, almost, kind of bite my lip and hold back,” Cowan said. “I’ve never been so pumped to get something out.” The “Prague EP” is an impressive effort. I’ve had a copy for almost a year, and it contains
MRD’s best songs along with the high-production value of an album produced by Blackwatch Studios. Cowan traveled all the way to Prague in 2012 alongside Jarod Evans to record in a cathedral. Seeing the album get closer to a release date is a big step forward for MRD, and that’s the only direction Cowan is interested in. “The more adversity you can fight through, with anything in life, the more it makes you appreciate things and the harder it makes you work,” he said. “At the end, it makes it that much more worth it.”

Angelina Jolie directs and coproduces the much-anticipated “Unbroken,” based on the Laura Hillenbrand book that tells the true story of World War II hero Louis “Louie” Zamperini, a former Olympic track star who survived a plane crash in the Pacific, spent 47 days drifting on a raft, then more than 2 1/2 years in a series of Japanese POW camps. Early drafts of the screenplay were written by William Nicholson and Richard LaGravenese, and Joel and Ethan Coen were hired to rewrite the final script when Jolie signed on as director. Jack O’Connell stars as Zamperini.

“A Most Violent Year” is set in New York City in 1981, one of the most crime-plagued years in the city’s history. This action drama by writer-director J.C.

The quirky horror tale “The Woman in Black: Angel of Death” from Tom Harper, director of the British TV version of “The Borrowers,” is a ghost story that takes up 40 years after the first haunting of Eel Marsh House, when a group of children evacuated from World War II London arrive, disturbing the house’s evil, slumbering inhabitant.

Things get dicey when Mark’s brother Dave (Mark Ruffalo) enters the picture, and the movie slips into tragedy. You’ll see this film mentioned thousands of times before the Oscar telecast.

DECEMBER 12 • 8 P.M. Oklahoma native John Fullbright returns to the Sooner state for a special show in support of his new album, “Songs,” at 8 p.m., Mitchell Hall on the UCO campus, 100 N University Drive. Oklahoma songwriter and musician Travis Linville opens the show. It was two years ago that Fullbright released his debut studio album, “From the Ground Up” critical acclaim.
The Los Angeles Times called the record “preternaturally self-assured,” while NPR hailed him as one of the 10 Artists You Should Have Known in 2012, saying, “it’s not every day a new artist ... earns comparisons to great songwriters like Townes Van Zandt and Randy Newman, but Fullbright’s music makes sense in such lofty company.” The Wall Street Journal credited
him with giving one of the year’s 10 best live performances, and the album earned him the ASCAP Foundation’s Harold Adamson Lyric Award. That same year, “From the Ground Up” was nominated for Best Americana Album at the Grammy Awards, which placed Fullbright alongside some of the genre’s most iconic figures, including Bonnie Raitt.

SPIRITUAL HUNGER RECEPTION | PASEO ART DISTRICT
DECEMBER 5 • 6 P.M. - 10 P.M. “Spiritual Hunger” exhibition creates community through food and art. “Spiritual Hunger,” an exhibition of visual and installation art by Norman-based artist Laura Reese, will be on display Dec. 5-27 at The Project Box, 3003 Paseo. Opening reception is 6 to 10 p.m. “Spiritual Hunger” combines food, gardening and visual art in an examination of the
ways both art and meals nourish our souls. A community garden growing in the gallery will provide physical and metaphorical food for visitors’ bodies and eyes — a reminder that even in cold times, growth occurs. In this exhibition, Reese creates a space to experience how gathering as a community satisfies our spiritual hunger. Reese’s visual art in “Spiritual Hunger” — artistic mantras written in multiple layers of colored pencil —
feels like a rich ritual chant made visible. Reese’s work, including prints, sound installations, drawings and performance pieces, has appeared in exhibitions throughout the state. “Spiritual Hunger” is her first solo exhibition. The show will include a free-draw session 1 to 3 p.m. Dec. 13 and a community potluck dinner 6:30 to 8 p.m. Dec.18. For more information on The Project Box, visit www.theprojectboxokc.com.
