Round Table Review By buzz Music staff

Check out what the Music staff has been listening to, featuring picks from staff members to fill up all your summer playlist needs.

“A lot of people are fond of saying, ‘life is short,’� Louie says in Monday night’s season premiere. “But at 46, it’s not short anymore. It’s long. It feels like it’s taking a long time to get through this shit.� At 21, I’m only just beginning to grasp Louie’s sentiment. I mean, that guy has done a lot and been around quite awhile (have you seen the pictures of him hanging out with Conan in the ‘90s? Dude had serious full-head-of-hair game). By contrast, my most dated accomplishment would probably be compiling a sweet CD collection or agonizing over dial-up; I certainly haven’t had the time or experience to become as jaded or cynical as Louie. I have, however, been in CU long enough to be awestruck the evolving landscape. All the construction — the new Hyatt, the multiple luxury high-rises in Campustown, etc. — is creating a game of geographic whack-a-mole across CU. Even as I write this, loaders and excavators are moseying around the huge, empty lot next to the Illini Media building. In only a few months, we will have a six-story neighbor throwing literal shade. The landscape of CU is changing rapidly; in 10, 20, or even 50 years, how will things look? We sort of have a skyline now, and if development continues at this pace, will we even recognize anything? One major change that could potentially hit campus is the proposed redesign of Green Street (hit up page four for the details). While making three blocks of Green Street, from Wright Street to Fourth Street, a car-free, bike- and pedestrian-only promenade could provide a great outdoor environment for dining, games and a more student-accessible farmers’ market, there is a very vocal population of opponents to the plan. Many r/UIUC users expressed concern about traffic flow (u/theswigz: “I don’t even want to imagine what the traffic would be like�), infrastructure (u/shobgood: “the surrounding roads simply aren’t designed to take on the traffic load�) and retail (u/ VBIllini: “In my hometown, they tried doing that and businesses started closing left and right�). Others are a little more optimistic (u/mjmayank: “Green St. shares a lot of the characteristics with areas that have proven successful,� u/harryoftheEarth: “This would be soooo good�). I actually learned via the Facebook group Champaign Urbana History that there was a pedestrian mall on Neil Street between Church/ Main and Chester Street from 1974 to 1986. This was before my time, but apparently the reversion back to a car-friendly Neil was so welcome and overdue, a parade was thrown in celebration. If the Green Street Car(e)free plan does work out, it will be many years before the necessary accomodations and construction are complete. Someone will always take issue with change, but one way or another, I bet we’ll watch Green and all of CU change drastically during our lifetimes: after all, life is pretty long.

Yeah, life is short...if you're a child who died

GET UP AND GO BY LAUREN EIDEN Folk legend Pete Seeger would have been 95 this month, and the Urbana Free Library will honor him on May 14. Pete Seeger was an American singer-songwriter who was known not only for his folk music, but also for his social-change efforts during many historical moments, such as the Civil Rights Movement and Vietnam War. He began his career as a member of a band called The Weavers, best known for its songs “Goodnight, Irene” and “If I had a Hammer.” Seeger eventually moved on to become a solo artist who wrote songs regarding social justice. The event, “Pete Seeger: The Power of SongFilm and Performance,” will be held at the Lewis Auditorium on the ground floor from 6 to 8:30 p.m. In order to commemorate the well-known folk artist, the Urbana Free Library will begin with showing the PBS American Masters film, “Pete Seeger: The Power of Song.” This film, created by Jim Brown, contains old TV shows, home movies and images from Seeger’s family album in order to tell the story of Seeger’s life. The film also contains testimonials from other recognized musicians, such as Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan. Following the film, Urbana singer-songwriter Paul Kotheimer will perform a live show. Kotheimer creates original pieces and has released 11 handmade label albums. His performance at the event will include a Pete Seeger tribute, where Kotheimer will play several of Seeger’s popular songs. BUZZ STAFF

This has resulted in me carting around the phone's charger and hunting down outlets any time I need to get in contact with someone without it dying midway through the call. What irks me more than the phone being broken, however, is that I've finally realized the extent to which I rely on the little bugger.

SUMMER BOXING DAY(S) University YMCA’s 13th Annual Dump & Run gives back to the community and environment BY NATALIE CZARNOTA

The University YMCA & YWCA. Champaign, IL. Used with permission UIUC YMCA

nstead of dumping unwanted goods into the dumpster after spring cleaning, the University YMCA has been providing a better option for 13 years: the Dump & Run. With collection days in May and August, any used, quality items, such as kitchenware, furniture, clothing, artwork and electronics, can be donated to the YMCA for a variety of good causes. One of the benefits of donating to the Dump & Run includes helping out the environment. Six semitrailers worth of reusable items are collected instead of being dumped into the landfills every year. Not only does this reduce litter and consumer waste, but it also lowers dumping costs for certified housing and apartments while also providing inexpensive items for purchase in the fall. The Dump & Run is also a major fundraiser for the University YMCA. “Your stuff that we collect and then sell means the Y can continue to serve our community and promote cause-driven leadership that works

toward social justice, environmental protection, faith in action and global engagement,” University YMCA communications director Megan Flowers said. After taking over last year’s University’s Annual Salvage Drive, the YMCA will do so again this year. “This means on Saturday, May 17, as students are moving out of the dorms, all Y staff and volunteers collect items from donation boxes set up in dormitories and apartment complexes all over campus. “Move Out Day on Saturday, May 17 is when the Y has the greatest need for volunteers in order to accomplish this huge task,” Flowers said. Thanks to the hard work of the volunteers, the Dump & Run program is able to exist and benefit the community. “It’s a great way for campus and community members to connect through this program that heavily relies on volunteers to make operations run smoothly,” she said. One such community volunteer is Steve Shoe-

maker. Shoemaker first volunteered at the University YMCA on the Friday Forum Committee and was later hired for nine years as executive director of the YMCA, before retiring in 2008. One of the things that Shoemaker likes about volunteering for the Dump & Run is helping others — particularly new, international students — get what they need for dorm rooms and apartments at a low cost. “My favorite part of Dump & Run is seeing the huge Stock Pavilion on Pennsylvania Avenue fill up to the top with great stuff, then seeing the rush of bargain hunters flood in when the doors open,” Shoemaker said. In addition to the satisfaction of helping and meeting new people, volunteers with six or more hours of volunteering receive first dibs on collected items. Volunteers are needed for loading, sorting and boxing donated items and donation pickups. They are also responsible for sorting clothing. “The Y is placing a special emphasis this year

on expanding volunteer opportunities in all of our work. The upcoming 2014 Dump & Run is a great way to meet others and become involved in the YMCA’s work,” YMCA director of development Alicia Beck said. To learn more about volunteering for the Dump & Run, contact volunteer@universityymca.org or call 337-1500. The May collection days will be held at the University YMCA on May 12-14 from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.; May 15 from 9 a.m.-6 p.m.; May 16-17 from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.; May 19-21 from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.; May 22 from 9 a.m.-6 p.m.; and May 23 from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. There will also be collection days in August at the Stock Pavilion before the sale on Aug. 13-15 from 8:30 a.m.-12 p.m. and 4-6 p.m., and on Aug. 16 from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. The sale be at the Stock Pavilion on Aug. 23 from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. with a $2 admission. On Aug. 24 there will be a $3 bag sale and a half-off furniture sale from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. and a “free sale” from 2:30-4 p.m.

THE TASTIEST REASON TO GET UP ON SATURDAY Urbana’s Market at the Square returns with produce and baked goods galore BY PAUL ANGELILLO

Urbana's Market at the Square. Urbana, IL. Photos by Dani Rudy

A

lthough niggling cold snaps have distorted CU’s sense of “spring weather,” one bonafide indicator of all the new season’s warmth and harvest returned this past Saturday: Urbana’s Market at the Square. Drawing a crowd since its start in 1979, the farmers’ market ranks as one of the largest in the state and has seen a surge in popularity from the national movement toward organic and sustainable food. Now, in its current manifestation, the Market draws nearly two hundred vendors of made-in-Illinois products, running the gamut from edible to fashionable. I joined the thousands of patrons who come each weekend, rain or shine, for the first Market of the season and my first ever. Located, sensibly, just outside of Lincoln Square, the Market at the Square is arranged in five, proud double-sided rows of around 10 vendors each that is then completely circumscribed by different food trucks and larger vendors. While some rows showed off table after table of colorful sweet potatoes and carrots — the traditional farmers’ market experience — others caught the eye with blown glass or tasty toffee housed under a booth in the shape of a castle. Stepping off the bus at the Vine and Illinois stop (conveniently smack-dab at the Market’s entrance), I was struck by two problems: which of the bright-faced vendors to start with and how exactly to go about carrying the bounty of gastronomic delights I’d inevitably amass. Lucky for me, the online resources for the market are excellent, providing a breakdown of both products and vendors, along with an interactive map that helped me plan my attack on the Square. It also reminded to bring cash, as the Market flirted with a credit/debit token

system in the past but phased it out for this year. So, while some vendors indeed accept cards, the safest bet is to show up with cash or make the short trek to one of the ATMs at the nearby Lincoln Square Mall. I began, logically enough, in Row 1, the area of the Market designated for fresh produce. Though the seasonal produce selection remained limited, I was impressed by the thick stalks of organic asparagus and leafy bunches of kale and salad greens coming from farms just outside of CU. Also of note was Brackett Farm’s rhubarb, some of the largest I’ve ever laid eyes on and a product for which they are locally famous. Further, many of the farms sold potted plants ready to yield plump heirloom tomatoes and other delights anywhere from a few weeks to a couple months in the future, a cruel wait but a perfect option for those who otherwise would never garden. Market at the Square’s produce, though tempting to overlook in chase of fresh baked delights and chocolate confections, truly is a marvel. While many of the farmers stock their selection at places like the nearby Common Ground Food Co-op, the Market provides the perfect venue to lay out and present the full splendor of their crop. Upon my arrival at 8 a.m., it was easily the most bustling area in the Square, and its superbly dynamic selection is not to be missed as the season continues. Pressing past the selection of vegetables feeling vaguely healthy, I sauntered towards the second row’s stacks of fresh baked breads conflicted on where exactly to begin. The multitude of farms I had just surveyed generally offered the same selection of products from the earth, but the Market’s bakers each offered a dizzying array of options. While the Upper Crust, Dan and Paula

Erwin’s market staple for over 30 years, tempted passersby with soft yeast breads, the Homestead Bakery out of Arthur, Ill. displayed cinnamon rolls so fluffy and loaded with caramel icing that I wanted to get stuck in them and never come out. Pandamonium Doughnuts drew a line even before the market opened, selling out in under two hours but planning on returning each Saturday with a rotating selection of flavors. While it’s generally a good policy to show up to the Market on the early side, Kyung’s cult hit pop-up provides perhaps the most compelling reason to drag oneself out of bed that little bit earlier, as walking away with a full box of his goodies will surely remain a tough task. Also of note was Little Red’s Basket, a dedicated gluten-free baker with always at least one vegan item on the menu and an aim “to bake so you don’t even know what’s missing.” Further sweet treats, perfect accompaniments to a fresh loaf of bread or muffin, came from Kuntry Kettle’s selection of fruit conserves, jellies, spreads, butters and sauces. Also, Prairie Fruits Farm & Creamery, off the back of a wonderful series of Saturday breakfasts, had an unrivaled arrangement of fresh goat cheeses and homemade goat milk gelato to boot. Nevertheless, the most decadent items I sampled came from Bonnie Post’s Chocolate Enrapture. Her handmade truffles were expertly shaped and decorated, infusing a variety of nuts and fruits into a perfect chocolate shell. These, alongside pecan turtles and chocolate covered apple slices, eradicated any sort of lingering sweet tooth I had. In desperate need of the sort of saltiness a mouth full of chocolate demands, I at last made my way to the humming coolers of the butchers’ area, a strategic last stop knowing

I’d need to hustle my purchases back home. Mamma D’s Smokehouse Restaurant tempted me with the smoked pulled pork and brisket of its Weldon, Ill. restaurant, but truly won my heart with the beef and pork jerkies. Though available in mild Cajun and teriyaki styles, their “Knock You on Your Butt” Cajun variety took moist slabs of jerky to the very pinnacle of lip-smacking, umami goodness by adding an addicting amount of spice. With meat on my mind, I continued to the family operation at J&K Meats. Their selection of locally raised, free-range beef, pork, lamb and goat meat–in all types of cuts and preparations–was a true sight to behold. Though I’m not sure if I’ll ever take the plunge and grab some goat sausage, the thick-cut pork bacon I brought home crisped up nicer than any I’ve put in my skillet before it. In fact, nothing I sampled or bought at the Market left me disappointed, and every vendor I talked to was genuinely passionate about their products and excited to share them with me. As a simple food pilgrimage, the trek to Urbana on Saturday mornings is an essential trip to sample some of the most authentic, carefully crafted flavors around. When you add in live music, crafts, clothing, a number of information booths and thousands of visitors each weekend, the Market becomes something more: a profound expression of community togetherness and support for sustainability. As the season continues from its great start, I can only look forward to all the dazzling offerings to come. The Market at the Square will continue to run every Saturday from 7 a.m. to noon until November 1.

SPRINGING TO THE SCENE Barrowe represents the CU scene at the first ILLIAC Spring Fest ANWEN PARROTT

arrowe will return to the Champaign scene in full force after a brief hiatus, sharing a stage with acts like Their/They’re/There and Those Darlins as a part of the first annual ILLIAC Spring Festival in downtown Urbana. The local band is scheduled to play at 5:15 p.m. at Saturday’s festival. buzz had the chance to chat with guitarist Mark Wyman and bassist Darwin Keup about the difficulties of balancing busy schedules with other projects (Hank., Take Care), day drinking and letting things fall into place. buzz: Who is Barrowe? Mark Wyman: Barrowe is me, Darwin and Nelson (Cowan). I think I wanted to jam one weekend and these dudes were free, so we did it. We kinda nailed out three or four songs on the spot and just let it roll because it was easy and fun. The two most important things a punk rock band should be: easy and fun. Darwin Keup: And all in the name of God. buzz: All of you guys are pretty involved in other bands, so what inspired you to seriously take on this project? DK: Well, me and Nelson had Hank. going on and me and Mark work together, and I honestly want to be in as many bands as humanly possible, so that kind of worked out. MW: In Take Care, Kyle was having his kids so we were slowing down a lot, and I was getting antsy just to practice even and to just play with a band. So we got going and it just started going forward really, really quickly. We were getting added to cool shows and it made sense for us to record, so we did. DK: We actually haven’t played one boring show. MW: Yeah, all of our shows have been cool. buzz: Do you have one show that’s particularly memorable?

6 buzz May 9-15, 2014

MW: Our first show was pretty cool. That was with the Dirty Feathers, Swords and The Struggle. It was The Struggle’s first show and our first show. There were a lot of people, and it was just a good show — a good start. DK: I made some bad decisions after that show. That’s neither here nor there, though. MW: We’ve played with Tiny Moving Parts, and we’ve played with Greyscale. We’ve been lucky enough to play with some really cool bands in the few shows that we’ve played. buzz: How does Barrowe’s sound compare to the other bands you’ve both been in? DK: Completely different. MW: It’s different for me, too. It’s three piece, which is harder. DK: But easier at the same time. MW: Yeah, there’s less confrontations going on in the creative process, hypothetically, with one less head to butt. DK: Yeah, it’s definitely a lot different. I would say that it has that quintessential Champaign sound. If you look at all the '90s Champaign bands, it kind of sounds like that. And I’m definitely OK with that. Out of all the other bands, this is probably the most straightforward band I’ve been in. MW: Yeah, me too. DK: Take Care songs are like, 40 minutes long. MW: Yeah, unapproachable... Take Care takes a lot of investment, which is on purpose, because we want it to be something like that. Barrowe is like: get in there, get your rocks off, get out. DK: We play the after show. That’s Barrowe. We play the after party. That’s pretty much the Barrowe theme. buzz: Over this past year, both Darwin and Nelson

spent a lot of time out of town, right? DK: Yeah, Nelson was gone, I was on tour for like three months and then We The Animals was taking up and Hank. was taking up, so we kind of put Barrowe on the back burner. But now that Hank.’s breaking up, we can put the attention on Barrowe. buzz: Were you guys able to do any practicing during that time? DK: It was hard with Nelson living in another state and me just in a fucking van. MW: At that point, We The Animals had fired up like Barrowe did and got off to a really strong start. We The Animals got lucky with really good shows and just took off immediately. It was obvious for all of us to put Barrowe on the back burner. It just made sense. We had a conversation about it, but nobody was distraught about it. It was easy for us to say, “let’s hold up for a few months and see what happens.” DK: Yeah, so this will be our first show in like, six months. MW: When you get an email asking to play with Their/They’re/There and Those Darlins at an outdoor festival, you don’t really say no. You figure it out. buzz: Speaking of the festival, what about it are you most excited for? MW: Playing with Their/They’re/There, easily. Obviously, it’s going to be fun to play in front of a bigger crowd — that’s amazing for us — being able to network and play with people who are literally some of our favorite musicians. I’ve listened to everything Mike Kinsella has ever put out. He’s one of my favorite Kinsellas and a really cool dude. It’s going to be fun to be sharing space with him, while sharing the same

mindset and hanging out with him. DK: I’m stoked to day drink on the streets! But aside from that, it’s just fun playing shows. I really like Those Darlins, I’ve been listening to those guys for a while. Their/They’re/There fucking shreds, but yeah, mostly just the day drinking. That’s what it all comes down to. I’m a bass player, so it doesn’t matter what I do. buzz: Will you guys be playing any new songs? MW: No new songs, but practiced old ones. DK: We’ll definitely be playing a lot of stuff that’s not recorded. We’ll be playing four to five unrecorded songs, so if you haven’t seen us before, you’ll be hearing songs you haven’t heard. buzz: What have you guys officially released? DK: We did a split with The Stars, They Beckon. We actually just recorded some other stuff, and it’s good enough to do something with. We might release a demo sometime soon or something. buzz: So I guess on that topic, what’s next for you guys? New releases, more shows? MW: Yeah, we’ve got stuff to figure out, but there’s no reason for us to not be moving forward. DK: It’s still a “side project,” but instead of putting no focus on it we’re definitely putting a lot more focus on it. It goes with the wind, but it’s what we’re doing now. We’re not trying to force it; when it’s time to do something, we do it. When it’s not time, we don’t. MW: And that kind of goes back to the thing like when you’re offered to play with Their/They’re/ There, you do it. DK: We’re just going to let everything happen. Catch Barrowe at 5:15 p.m. on Saturday at this year’s ILLIAC Spring Festival in downtown Urbana. The festival is free and starts at noon.

PRINTIN’ A PICTURE Artsist Victor Ekpuk introduces CU to the art form of Nsibidi through his exhibit BY JAGIE DAYA

Used with permission from Victor Ekpuk.

On

May 11, The Krannert Center for Performing Arts will be hosting an exhibit named "Auto-Graphics: Recent Drawings" by Victor Ekpuk. A Nigerian-born artist, Ekpuk creates artwork that takes on the stylistic form of nsibidi, a form of ideographic indigenous art of mark in a piece and is concerned with the minimalism of lines, fueling Ekpuk’s own personal tranformation within his art. The art form is most commonly associated with the Ejagham people of the northern Cross River region, mostly because evidence discovered by colonizers found the art form omnipresent in diverse forms within the community. Nsibidi incorporates a wide variety of signs and symbols usually printed on multiple surfaces, such as textiles, wood, costumes and brass. Nsibidi has adopted the title of a “fluid system” of communication because of the multitude of abstract and pictographic signs. “I believe the idea of reducing form to its essence and using very minimal lines to express an idea. Perhaps also the interplay of drawing and writing,” Ekpuk said.

8 buzz May 9-15, 2014

Today, there are over 500 recorded symbols and signs, with thousands more unrecorded. Nsibidi was once taught in school to children, teaching them about issues such as love affairs and people who deal with loss, warfare and times of strife.

“AS FAR BACK AS I CAN REMEMBER, I HAVE ALWAYS HAD THE ABILITY TO DRAW BETTER THAN MY PEERS.” -VICTOR EKPUK Ekpuk grew up in South Eastern Nigeria in a town called Uyo. “My family and friends were very supportive of my talent, I think they thought I was some kind of special kid,” Ekpuk said. “As far back as I can remember, I have always had the ability to draw better than my

peers. When I realized that I could actually do it for a living, I went on to study art in college. So, it mainly was all my decision. My mom helped to nurture the talent, too.” Ekpuk has been an artist for over 26 years, starting in his third year of college. His interest in art began when he and his peers were “encouraged by the professors to research indigenous African cultures and apply them to (their) art-making,” recalls Ekpuk. The drawing class resonated in Ekpuk. “I recall that late Professor Agbo Folarin used to emphasis drawing as the basis for all visual expressions. He brought my awareness to the aesthetics of line in life drawing class.” Upon flipping through a book “searching for (his) own vocabulary”, he was captivated by a collection of poems dedicated and honoring Christopher Okigbo, a Nigerian poet who died fighting for Biafra’s independence. “I was captivated by the minimal and sensuous lines of the drawings of Obiora Udechukwu, who explored nsibidi and uli, both indigenous art of mark making in his work. And for the first time, I believed the direction I was going to take in my work as an artist became very clear.”

His art form, according to his personal website, is concerned with the humanities. “The subject matter of my work deals with the human condition explained through themes that are both universal and specific: family, gender, politics, culture and identity,” he said. In addition to affecting the world on a broader scale, this art form is also applied to many personal aspects of Ekpuk’s day-to-day life. “It shapes how I view the world. I am very aware of design and color; whenever I have a writing material in hand, I tend to doodle. My iPhone has become an inseparable tool for capturing and enjoying the design and color around me,” he said. Even after years of experience, Ekpuk still has goals for his future work. “I am very curious about materials and love to experiment. To this end, I have explored digital technology as a tool for drawing and would love to explore drawing on metal and possibly extend lines into threedimensional forms.” Victor Ekpuk’s "Auto-Graphics: Recent Drawings" exhibit launched in January and will continue until late July, scheduled to appear in the CU area on May 11.

T

he season of big-budget, star-studded blockbusters and sequels is upon us again. From a city-ravaging dinosaur to a Disney villainess to the original boy band, the movies of summer 2014 look as if they will live up to their hype. Below is a closer look at some of the upcoming pictures, as well as list of other need-to-see films over the next few months.

Religious Services

“Blended� (May 23): After “The Wedding Singer� and “50 First Dates,� Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore team up for a third time in “Blended.“ This romantic comedy is about two single parents who coincidentally end up staying in the same luxurious suite on their vacations to Africa. Mostly everyone can probably predict how the movie is going to end, but the physical and screwball comedy along the way and the leading actors’ sparkling chemistry is what makes this a flick worth watching at the theater.

“Maleficent� (May 30): The latest reimaging of a classic fairytale is that of “Sleeping Beauty,“ this time told from the renowned villainess’ perspective. Angelina Jolie dons the classic black-horned costume for the role of Maleficent, for which Disney sought her out specifically. This dark retelling of a treasured princess narrative looks chilling and breathtaking from the epic previews. “The Fault in our Stars� (June 6): Two teenagers fall in love at a cancer support group in this romantic drama that is sure to bring tears to your eyes. Based on the bestselling novel, the movie is bound to be this summer’s “The Notebook“ or “My Sister’s Keeper.“ “Divergent� star Shailene Woodley continues to ride her wave of success, playing the female protagonist Hazel. “Jersey Boys� (June 20): Before the Backstreet Boys and ‘N Sync, there was The Four Seasons. Directed by the one and only Clint Eastwood, this movie-musical chronicles the rise and fall of the music industry’s original boy band. Filled with famous songs such as “Sherrie� and “Big Girls Don’t Cry,� Broadway lovers can count on this picture for a feel-good, toe-tapping time at the movies amidst all of the loud, action blockbusters. “Tammy� (July 2): Melissa McCarthy is back to exercise her comic chops once again in “Tammy.“ After “Identity Thief“ and “The Heat last year,“ we know she can carry a film with her whacky, unrestrained brand of humor, and the initial trailer for “Tammy“ boasts just that. The R-rated comedy follows a down-on-her-luck woman, who is forced to take up residence with her zany grandma (Susan Sarandon) after being fired and cheated on.

“Deliver Us from Evil� (July 2): “The Conjuring“ revitalized the horror genre last summer, and “Deliver Us From Evil“ seeks to continue that trend with a prime release date on the Fourth of July weekend. This horror-thriller is about New York police officer Ralph Sarchie and his investigations of disturbing crimes tied to demonic possession. The first trailer, which shows only one short clip of the movie, is flat-out terrifying and will catch any horror junkie’s attention. Hopefully, the movie will live up to its chilling previews. “The Purge: Anarchy� (July 18): The summer’s other horror offering drops two weeks later. A sequel to last year’s surprise hit, “The Purge: Anarchy“ takes the action outside of a lavish mansion and onto the streets of the inner city for the horrific night when all crime is legal. “The Purge“ had its flaws but had an intriguing idea at its core, so it will be exciting to see the other half of the nightmare in this sequel. “The Giver� (August 15): “The Giver“ is the latest book to get the silver screen treatment, and The Weinstein Company is hoping readers of

the literary classic will show up in theaters for the movie. A much older story than, but just as well-known as, “The Hunger Games“ and “Divergent,“ “The Giver“ is targeting a similar audience with its futuristic setting in a utopian society and star-studded cast, featuring Oscar-winners Meryl Streep and Jeff Bridges. The story centers on Jonas, a boy who is given a life assignment as Receiver of Memory, and uncovers dark, complex secrets about his seemingly idyllic community. Other noteworthy movies hitting theaters this summer: “Godzilla“ (May 16) “X-Men: Days of Future Past“ (May 23) “Edge of Tomorrow“ (June 6) “22 Jump Street“ (June 13) “How to Train Your Dragon 2“ (June 13) “Think Like a Man Too“ (June 20) “Transformers: Age of Extinction“ (June 27) “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes“ (July 11) “Hercules“ (July 25) “Sex Tape“ (July 25) “Guardians of the Galaxy“ (August 1) “If I Stay“ (August 22)
