Aphoto exhibit andseries of lectures andpresentations will take

Southern Illinoisans on ajourney to theCarbondale’s past.

The photo exhibit,“Whence We Came:African Americans inCarbondale, Illinois 1852-1963,” opens Tuesday, July2, at the Carbondale CivicCenter. It featuresphotographs capturingdifferent elements of lifein the city for blackcitizens through the years,including early residents,churches, economics andsocial conditions, civicorganizations and earlybusinesses.

“This is an attempt tocapture those memories,and hopefully inspire ayounger generation ofblack children to learnabout their past,” saidMelvin Green Macklin,coordinator of the eventseries. “I want ourchildren and ouryoungsters to have someidea about the legacy ofour ancestors inCarbondale.”

Macklin has collected

more than 400photographs and writtenmultiple books on thesubject. This exhibit andlecture series will allowhim to return home toCarbondale from hiscurrent Virginia residenceand share his passion.

He remembers hisyouth, growing up on thenortheast side ofCarbondale, when theneighborhood wasprospering with mom-and-pop businesses onevery corner.

“Most of that is gone,”he said. “I just want thenext generation to knowsome of their past.”

Hazel Chappell Law, oneof the committee membersworking on the exhibitproject, said she’s excitedto see it come to fruition.The efforts of previouscommunity leaders andinfluential members of theblack community helpedpave the way for thecurrent and futuregenerations, she said.

“It impacted all ofCarbondale, and thesegreat community leadersworked so hard andstruggled so their childrenand their children’schildren could live

successful lives inCarbondale,” she said. “Ihope everyone, not justfrom the east side butfrom all of Carbondale,

will come out and partakeof it and experience it.”

CARBONDALE — A freeCommunity Cinemascreening of the film“Love Free or Die” is setfor 2:30 p.m. June 29 inthe Carbondale PublicLibrary, 405 W. Main St.

The film is sponsored byWSIU Public Broadcastingand the library.

The Sundance Award-winning documentarylooks at church and state,love and marriage, faithand identity — and GeneRobinson’s struggle todispel the notion thatGod’s love has limits.

Robinson is the firstopenly gay person to beelected bishop in the highchurch traditions ofChristianity.

His consecration in 2003 in the Episcopaldiocese of New Hampshire caused aninternational stir andthreatened schism in theworldwide AnglicanCommunion.

The Rev. KatherineBryant Graves, pastor ofFirst Christian Church,Disciples of Christ, willlead a discussion after thefilm.

The Heat *½Rated R for pervasivelanguage, strong crudecontent and some violence;starring Sandra Bullock,Melissa McCarthy, DemianBichir, Marlon Wayans;directed by Paul Feig;opening Friday atShowPlace 8 in Carbondaleand Illinois Centre 8 inMarion.

BY ROGER MOOREMCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS

Give it up for SandraBullock and MelissaMcCarthy. You’ll never seethem work harder atcomedy than in “TheHeat,” a stumbling,aggressively loud andprofane cop buddy picturewhere they struggle towring “funny” out of ascript that isn’t.

Plot? It’s more acollection of scenes thatforce the stars to riff andriff until something coarseand amusing comes out,topped by something elsecoarser and more amusing.Instructions must haveread, “Sandy and Melissago to a dance club, whereMelissa hacks off chunksof Sandy’s costume to

make her ‘sexy.’“ Or“Melissa and Sandy getdrunk in a bar and linedance.”

Better still, “Ourintrepid, mismatched‘buddies’ are tied up by thebad guys and turn a simpleleg stabbing into a comicescape attempt.”

Bullock, finally back tomaking the sorts of “MissCongeniality” dogs shewas doing before “TheBlind Side,” is the know-it-all overly-coiffed F.B.I.agent Ashburn a Miss Prissnone of her fellow agentslike. She is sent to Boston,ostensibly to prep for apromotion. Mainly, it’s toget her out of the hair ofher boss (Demian Bichir).

That’s where Ashburnruns afoul of the foul-mouthed detective Mullins(McCarthy), a shambling

train wreck of theAmerican junk food dietrun amok. She’s so irritablethat her boss (Tom Wilsonof “Back to the Future”) isas afraid of her as herfavorite drug-dealing perp(Spoken Reasons is thiscaricature’s stage name).

Ashburn, who has been abit of a Bullock in a chinashop up to now, has mether menacing, mouthymatch.

The jokes often a stringof profane threats strungtogether by McCarthy havea sitcom / stand-uprhythm: ba DUM bum.

Director Paul Feig, whoselife changed with the flukyblockbuster“Bridesmaids,” shootsBullock in her requisitevanity lighting andMcCarthy at her chef-pants wearing worst.

White House Down **Rated PG-13 for prolongedsequences of action andviolence, including intensegunfire and explosions,plus language and a briefsexual image; starringChanning Tatum, JamieFoxx, James Woods, JoeyKing, Maggie Gyllenhaal;directed by RolandEmmerich; opening Fridayat ShowPlace 8 inCarbondale and IllinoisCentre 8 in Marion.

BY ROGER MOOREMCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS

If you see just oneterrorists-take-over-the-White-House thriller thisyear, make it “WhiteHouse Down.” Even if you

saw the dour and bloody“Olympus Has Fallen,”which has a lot in commonwith “White HouseDown,” you owe it toyourself to check outRoland “2012” Emmerich’spreachy, goofy, over-the-top take on “‘Die Hard’ at1600 Pennsylvania Ave.”

From the earnest butearnestly funny presidentin jeopardy (Jamie Foxx)who doesn’t like bad guysyanking on his sneakers(“Take your hands off myJordans!”) to the eye-rolling image of a childhaving a “Les Miz” big-flag-on-the-barricadesmoment, “White HouseDown” is a corker, realcompetition for “Fast &Furious 6” as the dumbestfun you’ll have at themovies this summer.

Channing Tatum is Cale,the war vet / D.C. cop whocan’t convince MaggieGyllenhaal to let him in theSecret Service. Cale has tocontent himself withguarding the speaker of theHouse (Richard Jenkins)and calling in favors to gethis daughter (Joey King) aWhite House tour.

Then we see whoEmmerich cast as the headof the White House SecretService detail JamesWoods. There’s “on-the-nose” casting, and thenthere’s casting Woods as apotentially volatile villaintoo on the nose.

We go through the same“Olympus has Fallen”hyper-professionalmercenary assault on thevarious security agenciesthat allows bad guys to

crash into the WhiteHouse. And we see Cale,the guy not good enough toget into the Secret Service,charge to the rescue of hisdaughter, the presidentand the world.

These terrorists, whonever miss until they startshooting at Cale, are glib.

“You just killed thesecretary of Defense!”

“Well, he wasn’t doing avery good job.”

Nicolas Wright plays ascene-stealing WhiteHouse tour guide whosometimes interrupts themayhem to share a littleWhite House lore, orlecture the bad guys on thepriceless artifacts they’rewrecking. Emmerichmakes sure there’s an“Independence Day” joke,and if that’s too subtle, he

blows up the Capitol.Shared plot aside, “WhiteHouse Down” does stuff“Olympus Has Fallen”couldn’t afford to.

All of which undercutsthe script’s lectures aboutthe “military industrialcomplex,” the militiamovement, the turf warsover presidentialsuccession and the like.

Whatever messages theywant to shoehorn intumble aside in a blizzardof bullets, bombs, missilesand jokes. This is apopcorn movie, with anadequate hero, a comicalpresidential sidekick, apassable villain and toomany deadlines, plotlinesand punchlines to everallow it to turn giddy.
