Kidman, Firth and Strong shine in ‘Before I Go to Sleep’ Before I Go to Sleep ***½
Rated R for brutal violence and language; starring Nicole Kidman, Colin Firth, Mark Strong; written and directed by Rowan Joffe; opening Friday at AMC University Place 8 in Carbondale. ROGER MOORE TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Three of the best actors in the business put on a master class in mystery thriller in “Before I Go to Sleep,” a lean, twisty-turning tale in the “Memento” style. Christine (Nicole Kidman) wakes up each day confused. Her eyes dart around the unfamiliar bed, the alien bedroom, the stranger’s hand draped across her. Their bathroom is plastered in snapshots — of their wedding, their years together. “I’m Ben, your husband,” the man (Colin Firth) says. “Christine, you’re 40...It was a bad accident.” None of it rings a bell for her. Christine has lost 20 years and every night when she dozes off she loses that day’s memories as well. A phone call promises help, a clue. Look in your closet, the voice of a man calling himself a doctor tells her. Look for the shoebox with the digital camera in it. Her video diary is there. Dr. Nasch (Mark Strong) is the one who got her to start keeping one. But something unsettles her, the bits of her past that the doctor, who insists she keep their relationship a secret, tells her. And she’s not sure what to make of the omissions her

husband is leaving out of that story “to protect you.” “So you edit my life?” “Before I Go to Sleep” hangs on Kidman’s intimate performance. She whispers, girlishly, shocked at being told she had an affair, puzzled that the two men give her differing versions of how she lost her memory. At the beginning of each day, she is passive, naive and trusting. She gets into the car of the man who calls himself her doctor without question. But as the days progress and the story advances, she adds to that diary and becomes assertive, questioning and suspicious. Some days, she suspects the husband of manipulating her. Some days, the doctor. Some evenings she’s drawn to the man who says he’s trying to heal her, and some she has sex with the man who insists he’s withholding details to save her pain and heartache. Writer-director Rowan Joffe (he wrote the Clooney hitman thriller, “The American”), adapting an S.J. Watson novel, maintains the mystery at
the heart of this puzzle picture and jolts us with the odd shock — a violent flashback, a loud horn blast from a passing truck that nearly hits someone. But he wisely lets this be an actor’s picture. Strong, often cast as villains, is poker-faced here, closeups capturing wheels turning that could be a doctor reasoning out a talking cure or someone with reason to keep Christine in the dark. Firth, most often a romantic lead, wears a deflated look of loss that either masks the grief of a man whose great love has lost her sense of identity or something cagier. And Kidman lets us feel Christine’s confusion, her desire to not stay in the dark even if every memory retrieved threatens more pain. Whatever twists this puzzle tosses at us, the film reminds us that a great actor, in close-up, telling a story with just her or his eyes, is still the greatest special effect the movies have to offer. This cast telling this story ensures us that nobody will be dozing off “Before I Go to Sleep.”

Look for Miranda Lambert to clean up at CMA Awards A ny individual seeking fame and fortune in the country music industry should take note of the career path of Miranda Lambert. In 2002, she was a popular regional vocalist in Texas, playing packed clubs in College Station for standing-room only crowds of screaming cowboys and
cowgirls. There was no real plan to present her talent to the rest of the world. Lambert’s career “a-ha”

moment came when a music executive convinced her dad that it was mandatory for her to migrate to Nashville to optimize her opportunities. Before she had time to wear out the soles of her boots from knocking on Music Row doors, she qualified for the inaugural season of “Nashville Star” and finished third. The national exposure led to a record deal. With an edgy sound and unique voice, she won a loyal legion of fans with tunes packed with attitude like “Kerosene,” “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” and “Gunpowder & Lead.” Five years of hard work and determination culminated in the 2010 act-breaking single, “The House That Built Me,” which topped the charts for four weeks. The song catapulted Lambert to the top of the country music world. In 2010, she was named
Female Vocalist of the Year by the Country Music Association. She has had a stranglehold on the trophy ever since, winning four consecutive years. Lambert is in exclusive company. The only other four-time winners are Martina McBride and Reba McEntire. Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn and Carrie Underwood have each captured the honor three times. The career momentum of the 30-year-old Lambert just keeps growing. She has received nine nominations in seven categories for the upcoming 2014 CMA Awards, which will be broadcast live from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville at 7 p.m. Wednesday on ABC. Lambert will display her dominance of the country music world throughout the night. She will start off the night by capturing her fifth straight Female Vocalist of the Year.

Underwood, but the solid block of voters that got her nominated so many times will maintain their loyalty on the final ballot. Other nominees include Taylor Swift, Kacey Musgraves and Martina McBride. Female Vocalist honors will be an appetizer for Lambert. She is going to make this a virtual Roman feast when she takes home the biggest prize of the night — Entertainer of the Year. Her concerts sell out from coast-to-coast, her music always dominates the charts and her videos are epic productions. She is an unstoppable triple threat. Lambert is simply on an unbelievable roll — and has no signs of stalling. While serious competition will come from Luke Bryan and her husband, Blake Shelton, Lone Star girl power will be the theme of this night. Nominees George Straight and Keith Urban don’t stand a chance. The sting of losing Entertainer of the Year will not hurt so bad for Bryan, as he should prevail as Male Vocalist of the Year in a wide open category that includes Eric Church, Keith Urban, Dierks Bentley and Shelton. There is no competition for Florida Georgia Line for Duo of the Year. They will win in a landslide over the likes of Dan & Shay, Thompson Square, The Shon Brothers and Love and Theft. Group of the year is a different story. I’ll give the edge to The Band Perry, because feisty lead vocalist Kimberly Perry was such a perfect fit for “Chainsaw.” I’ll never look at initials carved in a tree the same way again. Little Big Town or Lady Antebellum could easily win this
category. The Zac Brown Band and Eli Young Band are longshots. It is hard to get inside the heads of voters for the Single of the Year and Song of the Year. Single usually goes to an up-tempo tune, and a ballad takes song — usually but not always. Using this not-so sound reasoning, I’m taking “Drunk on a Plane” by Dierks Bentley to win single, and instant wedding favorite “I Don’t Dance” by Lee Brice to take song. However, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if “Automatic” by Lambert won in both categories. Bryan, Bentley, Urban and Church all are nominated for Album of the Year, but behind the strength of “Automatic” and “Somethin’ Bad,” which was used as the theme song for the SIU volleyball team during the opening match of the season at SIU Arena, Lambert will add this title to her cache. Brandy Clark displayed her songwriting chops on the magnificent “12 Stories” album, and her debut single “Stripes” turned lots of heads. For this reason, I’m picking her to win New Artist of the Year in a big upset over Thomas Rhett. Other nominees are Cole Swindell, Kip Moore and Brett Eldredge. Other winners during the night should be Lambert and Underwood for their collaboration on “Somethin’ Bad” for Vocal Event of the Year. The same duo will win Video of the Year with the same song. Dobro genius Jerry Douglas will take home Musician of the Year honors. VINCE HOFFARD can be reached at 618-658-9095 or vincehoffard@yahoo.com.

In the Thicke of things ‘Growing Pains’ star is hosting touring dance contest, filming TV series ADAM TESTA THE SOUTHERN
PADUCAH — Ask Alan Thicke to do so, and he’ll almost certainly show you that smile again. Best known for his role as the patriarch of the Seaver family on television’s “Growing Pains,” the Canadian actor has plenty of reasons to be happy these days. His sitcom-reality series “Unusually Thicke” has been picked up for a second season and will be a flagship of CBS’ newest channel, POP. He’s preparing to head out on the road with the national tour of “Dancing Pros Live.” And he’s able to do it all not because he feels the need to, but because he enjoys it. “I have a wonderful life that’s very full,” Thicke said, noting he’s saved his pennies and built enough of a career that he doesn’t feel obligated to insert himself in the public’s eye. His current schedule allows him to spend time with his youngest son and to travel the country entertaining audiences, as well as being entertained himself. As the emcee of “Dancing Pros Live,” Thicke will spend his evenings interviewing dancers who have been featured on hit shows such as “Dancing with the Stars” — which he competed on himself — and “So You Think You Can Dance.” The high-energy show, which came out of a week-long event at the Grand Casino last year, begins its national tour early next month in Chicago and arrives at The Carson Center on Monday, Nov. 3. “If you can imagine ‘Dancing with the Stars’ with the clunky celebrities replaced with world-class competitive dancers, that’s what you have here,” Thicke said. Each night’s performance will be different, as well, as various groups of dancers from around the globe rotate through the schedule. One night might feature cha-cha champions from Ukraine, while the next features top waltz competitors from Peru. “There’s always some new blood, a new gunslinger in town,” Thicke said. The audience has the opportunity
Heritage Festival focuses on locally hand-crafted items
DANCING PROS LIVE What: Competition featuring ‘Dancing with the Stars’ and ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ alumni When: 7:15 p.m. Monday, Nov. 3 Where: The Carson Center, 100 Kentucky Ave., Paducah Tickets: $29-$79 and available at www. thecarsoncenter.org or by calling 270-450-4444 to have their voices heard each night, too, as they’re giving buttons used for voting to select their favorite acts of the evening. Thicke said his role is to “stay out of their way and try to avoid stepping on their toes and ruining their next dance.” He equates his job to being an audience member who just happens to have the best seat in the house. “I’m in the wings watching as an audience member every night,” he said. “It really is that entertaining.” “Dancing Pros Live” begins at 7:15. Tickets are $29 to $79 and can be purchased online at www.thecarsoncenter. org or by calling 270-450-4444. The launch of the tour comes at an auspicious time for Thicke, as he’s in the midst of filming for the second season of “Unusually Thicke.” The show, which the central star describes as a mix between a reality series and a sitcom, features scripted stories inspired by reallife scenarios. “I’d never be so arrogant to think we’re an interesting enough family to have people watch us walk around in our underwear while we cook eggs,” Thicke said. The show’s first season was successful, and Thicke said he’s looking forward to riding that momentum forward. But “Unusually Thicke” isn’t the first hit show with which he’s been involved. Fans of CBS’s “How I Met Your Mother” are well acquainted with Thicke’s recurring role as himself, identified on the show as a Canadian idol and friend and role model of Cobie Smulders’ Robin. “I was privileged to be part of the show as it was a big hit,” Thicke said. “It’s always fun to poke holes in yourself, to make fun of yourself, and they did a really good job of that.”

Cedarhurst Center for the Arts features classic newspaper comic strip artwork THE SOUTHERN
MOUNT VERNON — “We Have Met the Funnies and They Are Us: 120 Years of American Newspaper Comic Strip Art from the Applegate-Boyle Collection” features a glimpse into the significant collection of famous original pen and ink drawings of comic art owned by Chicago collectors David Applegate and Dorceen Boyle. The Main Gallery exhibition which opens Sunday, Nov. 2, at Cedarhurst Center for the Arts showcases prime examples by historically key comic artists such as Winsor McCay, “Little Nemo,” 1908; Frank King, “Gasoline Alley,” 1921; Chester Gould, “Dick Tracy,” 1967 and Garry Trudeau, “Doonesbury,” 1979. The specific works of art on display at Cedarhurst were chosen by Applegate to offer a snapshot through comics into the history of America spanning 12 decades. The exhibition will run through Jan. 4. Admission to the Main Gallery exhibit is $5 per person. Admission is free Tuesday through Sunday for members of Cedarhurst and children 10 and under. Each Thursday, throughout the exhibit, admission is free for all visitors. “Left with this Myth: The Art of Greely Myatt” will open Nov. 2 in the Beal Gallery and expands on the artist’s comic strip/
thought-bubble motif with his use of familiar materials like steel, wax, electricity, wood, and air, igniting conversation without actually spelling anything out. “Peanuts … Naturally”, on display Nov. 2 through Jan. 4 in the Beck Family Center Gallery at Cedarhurst, takes a lighthearted look at Charles Schulz’s exploration of the natural world through Peanuts comic strips. The exhibit offers visitors a Peanuts-eye view of the universe, “web of nature,” trees, birds, the elements, gardening, and Charlie Brown’s EPA escapades. The Shrode Art Center Gallery will launch the annual “Shrode Photography Competition Exhibition” Sunday, Nov. 2. A total of 236 photos were submitted for judging by 82 artists.

Bloom’s blunt advances, but never so firmly that she scares off her video savior — a breathless crackle. We never have to see them in bed. The haggling over going rates for videoscenes areseductive enough. Gilroy cut some corners on the casting, not spending the money on charismatic name actors to play the cops who suspect Bloom’s dark side or the one reporter at the TV station to object to this deal with the video Devil. That makes the story less predictable and entirely about its amoral central figure, whom we figure out early on and thus aren’t really shocked at each new transgression. More problematic is the world Gilroy sets this in. It’s today. It’s video. Bloom is Internet savvy in the extreme. And yet the web nature of much video reportage — the TMZs of the world clobber broadcast TV when it comes to paying for video — is ignored. And Gilroy limits the competition in the media capital of the world to just a couple of freelance video rivals. But from that first moment, when smiling Louis Bloom charms and then jumps a security guard,to a breathless third act where his finds that final moral line to cross, Gyllenhaal’s “Nightcrawler” pulls us in, mesmerized by this viper’s wide, unblinking eyes until it’s too late.
