Singer Stacie Lynn is back on track after Music City detour

‌S

tacie Lynn was in an unfamiliar environment.

She was a smiling administrative assistant for a major company in NashCountry ville, an Scene important cog in the Vince Hoffard wheel of corporate America. A newly-married college graduate, she was living a story-book life.

But this wasn’t why she moved to Music City and attended Belmont University, a school well known for producing students that have made immediate and important contributions to the country music world.

The 25-year old Metropolis native migrated to the country music capitol of the world with ambitions of becoming a famous singer.

“The dream is still alive. It has just taken me a little while to figure out how things really work,” she says.

After a two-year detour into the business world, Stacie made a career move specifically designed to bring her back into contact with the thriving music community. She now works for a coach company that rents tour buses to musicians, some well-known and others not so much.

“We rent to big stars like Lynyrd Skynyrd, 38 Special and Kacey Musgraves.

There are several regional acts that just need a bus during the summer and we have a lot of those customers, too,” Stacie says.

“I was looking to make a career change and I just kinda lucked into this job.

I get to travel all over the country and meet a lot of tour managers. Luckily, I’m only gone for a couple days at a time. I don’t know how

she talked with The Southern late Sunday night. “I like Miranda Lambert, too, but her last album was a mixed bag.”

Stacie said she is in the process of writing songs for a new project she plans to release early next year.

The difference and natural improvement over earlier efforts will be the maturation process from soaking in knowledge from just being around the industry everyday.

“The goal is to get four really solid songs ready to record. At the same time, I will continue to network COURTESY STACIE LYNN | KAREN LOGEMAN and play out as much as Metropolis native Stacie Lynn performs Saturday at the Golconda Deer Festival.

years beyond her age. In a film that cranks up the action even more than the first two movies, Lawrence’s work grows even stronger as she commands attention with each word, phrase and breath. Often pressed into dialogue that would have come across as trite and superficial with a lesser actor, Lawrence turns every speech into a personal or patriotic anthem.

Just based on the action, “Mockingjay — Part 1” would be entertaining. It’s Lawrence who elevates the movie above the fodder that is this norm in this genre.

The film picks up with Katniss Everdeen (Lawrence) under the protection of the military in District 13. She discovers that President Snow (Donald Sutherland) has been busy putting a spin on the disastrous events of the recent Hunger Games. His main propaganda tool is Peeta (Josh Hutcherson), a move that not only gives him a Games champion to feed out misinformation but also drives an arrow into the heart of Katniss.

District 13’s President Alma Coin (Julianne Moore) wants to use Katniss as her own propaganda tool. Originally cautious about being the symbol for hope, Katniss embraces her place when she sees the destruction and callous devastation Snow has brought to the Districts.

It’s in these moments that Lawrence shines. It’s

the rare actor who can show so much rage, hate, pain and hope in a single look. But she does.

And, Lawrence is not alone. Philip Seymour Hoffman turns in another masterful performance that’s a reminder of the great acting work lost with his death. Sutherland continues to grow into the tyrannical role needed to justify the heroic acts of Katniss. Even Elizabeth Banks finally gets to show her true acting skills as her buffoonish Effie Trinket gets stripped down.

Director Francis Lawrence, the man behind “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” continues to show an even-handed approach to both the emotional and big-action scenes. The main thing is that he’s smart enough to boldly display the impressive work Lawrence does from start to mid-finish.

“The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1” has one inherent problem that even Lawrence can’t fix.

The finale is presented in two parts, with the wrapup a year away. This structure leaves the first part lacking as the action comes to an abrupt ending. Movie making is all about the money, but this division of a finale creates a sense of frustration that lingers between the parts.

In this case, it’s even worse because Lawrence is so good and it’s disappointing to have her performance come to and end in “Part 1.”

“Pyramid”: Just because it’s the holiday season doesn’t mean every movie has to be all warm and fuzzy. Anyone hoping to get the pants scared off them can check out “Pyramid,” the latest in the trend of found-footage horror movies. This one, as the title suggests, takes place in a lost Egyptian pyramid as a team of archaeologists find they are being hunted by a terrifying ancient evil.

Merry Christmas!

“Wild”: How does one come to terms with losing a parent, drug addiction and divorce? Cheryl Strayed chose to hike 1,000 miles across the Pacific Crest Trail. The film is based on Strayed’s memoir and stars Reese Witherspoon. Jean-Marc Vallee, fresh off his critical success, “Dallas Buyers Club,” directs.

Dec. 12‌

“Inherent Vice”: Auteur Paul Thomas Anderson, director of such celebrated films as “The Master,” “There Will Be Blood” and “Boogie Nights” is back with “Inherent Vice,” a comedy/drama/crime thriller starring Joaquin Phoenix as a 1970 stoner private investigator caught in the mysterious disappearance of his ex-girlfriend.

The film has already drawn comparisons to the Coens’ cult classic, “The Big Lebowski,” but whether or not it inspires its own annual festival remains to be seen. The film is packed with stars including Reese Witherspoon (again?), Josh Brolin, Benicio del Toro and Owen Wilson.

Unsurprisingly, the final installment of “The Hobbit” film trilogy will feature not only Smaug’s attack on Laketown, but a massive battle throws humans elves, dwarves, (spoilers) and goblins into one big foray. Martin Freeman returns as Bilbo Baggins and Ian McKellen as Gandalf in what will likely be the most action-packed of the series.

Bradley Cooper plays Chris Kyle, the most lethal sharpshooter in the history of the U.S. military in this biopic directed by Clint Eastwood. The film is based on the autobiography of Kyle, who died in 2013.

“Big Eyes”: Another biopic opening Christmas — this one likely a bit less violent — is about artist Margaret Keane (Amy Adams). Tim Burton directs the film while Christoph Waltz plays Keane’s husband, who took all the credit for her work.

“The Interview”: Seth Rogen and James Franco are going to North Korea in this film about a TV host and producer who score an interview with dictator Kim Jong Un. But before the two can celebrate landing such a big exclusive, the CIA has to go and complicate things by asking them to be assassins.

“Into the Woods”: OK, here’s the one the kids are going to want to go to. Probably the adults as well. The musical distributed by Disney sees fairy tales such as Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk and Red Riding Hood come together as the characters journey to have their wishes come true. Meryl Streep, Johnny Depp, Emily Blunt and Anna Kendrick star.

“Selma”: Martin Luther King Jr.’s equal voting rights marches from Selma to Montgomery,

Alabama. David Oyelowo stars as King with Tom Wilkinson as Lyndon Johnson. Oprah Winfrey and Cuba Gooding Jr. also star.

“Unbroken”: Angelina Jolie gets behind the camera in the biopic about Louis Zamperini, an Olympic runner who turns bombardier in World War II, is shot down, survives 47 days in a raft and spends more than two years in a Japanese POW camp. The film is based on Zamperini’s autobiography.

“A Most Violent Year”: An interesting title for a film playing on New Year’s Eve. Oscar Isaac stars as an immigrant who must survive with his family in New York City in 1981, one of the most violent years in the city’s history. Jessica Chastain and Albert Brooks co-star.

Also opening‌

“Foxcatcher”: While it technically had a limited opening Nov. 14, the thriller based on the reallife story of millionaire John Du Pont and wrestler Mark Schultz has yet to open locally. But with Oscar buzz surrounding performances by Steve Carrell, Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo, it’s a good bet this film will be coming here.

As the trio finally reaches their destination in Canada, now only time will tell if each will find exactly what they are seeking. In this historical tale, three partners seeking adventure, love, and riches in the Klondike gold rush must learn to rely on perseverance, courage, and each other to make their dreams come true.

Conrad also is the author of several Civil War novels and mysteries set in Southern Illinois.
