Blue Jasmine Out Now

Within Temptiation Hydra Out Now

RATED M

It’s certainly not hard to see why this film, directed

by David O Russell ( ‘Silver Linings Playbook’, ‘American Hustle’) received seven Academy Award nominations. This riveting based-on-a-true-story tale of up-and-coming boxer ‘Irish’ Mickey Ward (Mark Whalberg) and his unlikely road to the light-welterweight title.

Christian Bale is brilliant at Ward's drug-addicted and highly unpredictable brother.

Sure, he may be neurotic, idiosyncratic and, for some people, annoying, but with films like ‘Annie Hall’, ‘Manhattan’ and ‘Hannah and Her Sisters’ under his belt, no one could accuse Woody Allen of not writing strong and beautifully realised female characters.

His latest dramedy, starring our own Cate Blanchett, is no different.

‘Blue Jasmine’ centres around Jasmine French – a New York socialite who us forced to move in with her estranged sister after going through financial ruination. As Jasmine struggles with her haunting memories of a privileged past bearing dark realities she ignored, she tries to recover in her present. Unfortunately, it all proves a losing battle as Jasmine's narcissistic hangups and their consequences begin to overwhelm her. In doing so, her old pretensions and new deceits begin to foul up everyone's lives, especially her own.

Blanchett is brilliant.

Alice In Chains / Down / Walking Papers Tuesday, February 25 • Enmore Theatre Renowned for their distinctive vocal style Seattle rockers, Alice in Clains, have announced just 2 Sidewave shows that will see them bring their monster sound to Sydney. The band emerged during the nineties as part of the Seattle grunge scene and crossed over with their critically acclaimed second album in ‘Dirt’. If there ever were a metal super group to end all metal super groups, it would have to be Louisiana’s Down,featuring members of Pantera, Corrosion of Conformity, Crowbar and EyeHateGod. Regardless of trends, popular opinions, and changing tides, Down are uncompromising, unparalleled, and undeniable. Walking Papers features former Screaming Trees drummer Barrett Martin, ex-Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan and vocalist/guitarist Jeff Angell and keyboardist Ben Anderson, of The Missionary Position.

If symphonic Dutch metal is your bag then you’ll want to be all over the sixth long player from the masters of the genre, Within Temptation.

Much like the album’s title this album is a many-headed beast that steadfastly refuses to stay in one musical postcode.

You have the emotionally wrought ‘Edge of the World’, and ‘Dog Days’, the truly epic opener ‘Let Us Burn’ and the heavier and driving ‘Dangerous’ and ‘Tell Me Why’. If you already have any Within Temptation in your collection – you should have a pretty fair idea of what to expect here and if not, this is definitely a good starting point.

So sit back, relax and let Sharon den Adel’s angelic voice whisk you away -in a very symphonic metal way, of course.

Rawk.

Music

Lady Soul A

Stephen Bisset

“The show has been downsized a fair bit and we’ll be taking it into smaller regional venues,” Anu told TE. “But it is moreso about intimacy and getting right back to the basics of the song.”

Anu, who first came to national attention with the Neil Murray-penned song ‘My Island Home’, said she had always been influenced by Franklin but it wasn’t until she embraked on ‘Rewind – The Aretha Franklin Songbook’ tour that a much deeper connection to Franklin’s music developed.

“Aretha means more to me now than she ever did in the past, appreciation-wise – the lady has covered so many genres in her career and she is just so clever and unique as a performer,” she said.

“It is a really eye-opening experience going through all of these songs because it really is like having a master class with Aretha herself and it’s also quite a workout.

“Soul music, especially Aretha’s music,

Ph: 4960 1397 284 Maitland Rd

is all about getting inside yourself and giving yourself that workout – although a soul workout isn’t so much physical, it’s more like having a really great cry. It’s really quite cathartic.”

Anu, who has been a part of the pantheon of formidable Aussie singing talent since she released her debut long player ‘Stylin’ Up’ in 1993, said she had no idea, at the time, that her breakout single ‘My Island Home’ would launch a 20-year career that shows no sign of abating.

“I never in a million years thought that song would be the catalyst for the career that I have now because, at the time I wasn’t even an artist in development – I was employed as a dancer [at the Bangarra Theatre Company] and I basically made the decision to persue music full time and I had to go on the dole to support myself.

Then Neil [Murray] heard me singing and the rest is history. Neil was a great influence and he really taught me that songs are essentially stories that belong to the people.”

While there’s no denying that Anu has definitely “made it”, the mother of two said she still has her fair share of ‘pinch me, I must be dreaming’ moments.

“I think these days I am a better singer than I was in the beginning and I think that’s because I’m getting more used to my voice, I mean, I never really sang in front of people when I was younger,” she said.

fter a hugely successful run last year, Aussie soul diva Christine Anu is taking her tribute to the queen of soul, Aretha Franklin, back on the road, but this time around she said audiences could expect a much more intimate affair.

f there was further evidence needed that Lee Kernaghan is still at the top of the Australian country music tree – some 22 years after he first burst onto the scene with ‘The Outback Club’ – you only needed to look at the results of the Golden Guitar awards at the recent Tamworth Country Music Festival.

Stephen Bisset

The affable Order of Australia recipient took home a formidable four golden guitars – male artist of the year, video clip of the year, single of the year and top selling album of the year for his latest and arguably best release, ‘Beautiful Noise’.

Kernaghan, who , with 28 gongs under his belt before the current crop, is an old hat at this awards lark, told TE that such recognition still tickled him pink.

“It was just such a sensational night – as it always is – and it was as though the planets really aligned for me this year and I’m really proud to be recognised.

“I really think that the whole night was a great celebration of the diversity of Australian country music – I mean the great Ted Egan was inducted into the hall of fame and we got to see a glimpse of the future of Australian country with the likes of the phenomenal Adam Eckersley Band and I’m just really glad that I can be a part of that.”

Lee Kernaghan CMC Rocks the Hunter at Hope Estate From FRI 14 to sun 16 March

With another extensive Australian tour to promote Beautiful Noise, set to kick off (Kernagan spent the majority of 2013 traversing Australia with the album), the songwriter will be heading back to the Hunter as part of the massive CMC Rocks the Hunter festival, playing alongside the likes of international heavy hitters Toby Keith and Gretchen Wilson and homegrown talent such as Busby Marou, James Reyne and Morgan Evans.

“I just love playing just about anywhere, but CMC is just such a phenomenal event the staging and production are world class – and I can’t wait to get amongst it.

“The crowd get really fired up and when you’ve got a dynamite country crowd in front of you, it really fires you up to put on a really great show – which I intend to do.”

Ever since he first packed a horse float with a PA and a lighting rig and hit the open road, Kernaghan has virtually been on tour ever since – not that he really minds.

“It really is the music that keeps driving the whole thing – I have managed to make a special connection with a lot of people around this country with my music and that’s definitely why I keep doing it,” he explained.

“I also really love Australian country music – in all of its forms. I believe it is the music of our land and culture and I want to get it out there to as many people as possible."

Magic

Wands out!

I

Stephen Bisset

Two of the biggest names on the Australian magic scene, Christopher Wayne and Mike Tyler are taking magic to boisterous new heights by doing away (literally) with the top hats and capes normally associated with magic acts to create something that producer Sam Klingner said was truly unique.

“I guess it’s kind of like a cross between ‘Puppetry of the Penis’ and David Copperfield,” he laughed. “But there is kind of a lame stigma associated with magic – you know all of those cheesy top hats and capes – and this show definitely attempts to do away with all of that in a funny and really unique way. I mean, great magicians

don’t need sleeves.” Klingner added that Newcastle audiences will be in for a treat as the Lizotte’s show and Sydney leg of their tour will be the first time the show has been performed in public.

“We’re actually doing our first closed preview show for a VIP audience in Brisbane and then Sydney and Newcastle will be the first public performances. I’ve also been told that people in Newcastle love a bit of nudity so were really excited to be playing there. While Klingner was tightlipped about what punters could expect from the show (hey magician’s never reveal their secrets) he did offer up a few curious tidbits.

“Let’s just say that there are just too many great set routines in the show to single one out,’ he said.

“But I will say that we have something in the show called a ‘gay jacket’ which is a celebration of the world and where it is today as opposed to the straightjacket of old, there’s quite a funny routine involving a sex doll and an audience participation section called ‘Porn Predictions’ which is just hilarious.”

this week Last Vegas

De Niro, Douglas, Freeman, Kline. How can you go wrong? Billy (Michael Douglas), Paddy (Robert De Niro), Archie (Morgan Freeman) and Sam (Kevin Kline) have been best friends since childhood. When Billy, the group's sworn bachelor, finally proposes to his thirty-something girlfriend, the four head to Las Vegas with a plan to stop acting their age and relive their glory days. However the four quickly realize that the decades have transformed Sin City and tested their friendship in ways they never imagined. The Rat Pack may have once played the Sands and Cirque du Soleil may now rule the Strip, but it’s these four who are taking over Vegas.

Labor Day

Based on a novel by Joyce Maynard and directed by Jason Reitman (‘Juno’), Labor Day tells the story of depressed single mum Adele and her son henry who offer a wounded, fearsome man a ride. As police search town for the escaped convict, the mother and son gradually learn his true story as their options become increasingly limited. Starring Josh Brolin, Kate Winslet and Toby Maguire.

Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom Based on his autobiography and starring Idris Elba (‘Prometheus’, ‘Luther’), Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom celebrates Nelson Mandela’s extraordinary journey from his childhood in a rural village through to his election as President of South Africa.

It explores the Mandela unknown to most of the world - the lover of fancy cars, a ladies’ man, the boxing enthusiast and playboy, the skillful lawyer and freedom fighter.

The film is an intimate portrait of the making of a modern icon.

The Railway Man [Rated M]

Reviewed at Event Cinemas, Glendale by Amelia Parrott

4/5

This Australian/UK collaboration retells the true story of British returned serviceman, Eric Lomax (Colin Firth), as he struggles to come to terms with the horrific abuse he suffered at the hands of the Japanese as an Allied prisoner, working on the infamous Thai-Burma railway during WWII. Lomax’s seemingly happy marriage to Patti (Nicole Kidman) takes a dark turn when she attempts to find out what happened to her husband and crack open the culture of secrecy that she believes keeps former soldiers suffering.

'The Railway Man' does what great movies should do – it offers the viewer not just the opportunity to escape reality, but examine it. It prompts us to consider more than the physical, social and economic implications of war and with troops currently withdrawing from 12 years of conflict in Afghanistan, one wonders what mental anguish they will bring home with them.

12 Years a Slave

[Rated MA] Reviewed at Tower Cinemas, Newcastle by Stephen Bisset

4/5

Hollywood has attempted to tackle the difficult topic of American slavery before – ‘Django Unchained’, ‘Amistad’, ‘Gone With the Wind et al – yet there are none that have done so with such unflinching honesty as director Steve McQueen’s ’12 Years a Slave’. Based on an incredible true story, first documented by the subject in 1853, ’12 Years a Slave’ centres on Solomon Northup (Chiwetel Ejiofor) who, in preCivil War America lives as a free man in New York with his wife and family. A prodigiously talented violinist, Northup accepts an engagement in Washington only to be abducted and sold into slavery. Stripped of his identity and mercilessly beaten, Northup is sold to the relatively benevolent plantation owner William Ford (Benedict Cumberbatch) before circumstances place him in the hands and at the mercy of cotton plantation owner , the viciously malevolent Edwin Epps (Michael Fassbender). This brutally honest film elicits a mesmerising performance from Ejiofor while Fassbender brings every ounce of acting strength to the role of Epps.

hoodoo gurus The Gumball 2014 ‘Dashville’, Belford fri 11 & sat 12 april

This is a fact that anyone who caught their brilliant sets at Gurus-curated Dig It Up festivals last year and in 2012 can attest.

“We might not be touring as much but we’ve never taken one step back when we are onstage – we really do still give it our all,” frontman Dave Faulkner told TE. “I mean, just look at the ‘Dig It Up’ shows – we manage to get so many great bands to play [such as The Sonics, Blue Oyster Cult and The Buzzcocks] which was nice, but we certainly didn’t want to be upstaged by anyone, we always go out there to put on a show.”

The next show to put on will be a highly anticipated set at the 10th Gumball Festival and Faulkner said that there will be more than a few surprises in-store.

“Look, it is going to be an interesting one – we’re planning on something a little bit different to the normal sets that we play,”

Jeremiah Jones Boutique Fish & Chips

he said. “When you’re playing on a bill with the likes of King Lizard and the Gizzard Wizard, I think it’s probably okay to be a bit more experimental with your set lists so there will be a few in there that might surprise a few people, but there’ll also be the ‘standards’ that, if we didn’t play, we’d get flogged.”

For Faulkner, the stage has always been the raison d’etre of the Gurus and their live energy is what he believed first hipped the Aussie music buying public to their charms.

“Playing live has always been extremely pivotal for us - some of our albums haven’t really been as vital as the energy that we managed to capture on stage,” he said.

“We’ve never really been a band that has led by radio or big hits – don’t get me wrong, we’ve certainly had hits, but to be honest some of our biggest hits became hits after the event.

“For us it was more of a groundswell situation where we got to a point where radio couldn’t ignore us anymore because we were drawing so much interest live. Also, there is something intangible about the relationship between the audience and the artist and the way they feed of each other’s energy that is just really hard to beat.”

rosperity was in the air on Sunday night as the Silver Dolphin Restaurant celebrated Chinese New Year, ushering in the Year of the Wooden Horse with lively music, the traditional lion dance and a festive atmosphere.

Led by the Ching Nin Lion Dance Team and accompanied by drums, the lion dance is performed to bring good luck and fortune to a business, by dancing around the town (or in this case, the restaurant) and accepting red envelopes of money, with the red colour said to ward off evil spirits. After doing a lap of the restaurant and function rooms, the lion finished the dance by performing the custom of ‘choy cheng’, or ‘eating of the green’, where it ate lettuce and money attached to the ceiling and then spat the lettuce out, in order to spread the prosperity. The Lion Dance was met with excitement, with adults and children alike delighting in the glitzy display.

Of course, a Lion Dance isn’t on the menu every evening at Silver Dolphin, but a sumptuous buffet of Chinese, Japanese and Australian cuisine is. There’s something to here to appease both the most adventurous and the fussiest of eaters, with my dining partner and I enjoying meats from the carvery, fresh fruit and vegetables from the salad bar, Chinese staples of fried rice and honey chicken, Teriyaki Japanese barbeque, chicken nuggets (because we’re kids at heart) and an extensive range of desserts.

From both The Post and Silver Dolphin Restaurant, Kung Hei Fat Choy, may the Year of the Wooden Horse bring you strength and stability.

f 2013 was a red letter year for Sydney-via-Newcastle indie pop outfit Nova and the Experience, with the release of their stellar third EP ‘There’s Something Here’ and being named as recipients of the inaugural First Break Development Award from Mushroom Music and Commercial Radio Australia, then it looks as though they might just hit it out of the ballpark this year.

The band are about to hit the road in support of their latest single – the beautifully lilting ‘Shipwrecked’ - and they’ll be stopping by one of their old haunts, The Lass O’Gowrie, to celebrate.

“I absolutely love the lass – as a punter and performer,” vocalist Anna Buckingham told TE. “Actually, it was the first place I went to when I turned 18, so it’s always good to come back.”

Buckingham said the band were overjoyed with the reception the EP had been getting around the traps – with singles

“Dragonflies and Waterfalls” and ‘We Are the Children” piquing quite a bit of interest both here and abroad.

“Yeah, we’re so happy – although it is a bit mind boggling,” she laughed.

The EP is replete with the same musical sweetness that many Novocastrians will already be au fait with, but there is a lyrical maturity creeping into the mix that is just as beguiling as the music.

“This EP follows a kind of loose narrative that stems from a child’s imagination,” she said.

“We’ve always written about various things that inspire us but have never really approached things in this way – it was very rewarding.”

Speaking of rewarding, the band named as recipients of the inaugural First Break Development Award from Mushroom Music and Commercial Radio Australia which gives them access to airplay support for two single releases and financial assistance for things like film clips and tour support.

“It feels a bit surreal to be honest, but it really is a dream come true for us and a definite foot in the door.”

Clocking in at just over an hour, the album, from which ‘Drag Me Home’ is spawned, is expansive, ambitious and darkly anthemic, the kind of debut only a band who have gotten to know each other inside out could make. Intimate ballads nestle between uplifting house driven bangers; glassy-eyed 5am club excursions push up against elegant pop songs.

Produced by Tim Goldsworthy (Massive Attack, The Rapture, Hercules & Love Affair) and mixed by Bruno Ellingham (Spiritualised, New Order), the self-titled album perfectly captures not only the band’s live dynamism, but also the freewheeling, impulsive adventures of a band let loose in the studio of their dreams.
