LOOK AT OKC | 1.29.2015

When John Calvin Abney finishes aset, he said he’s used to hearingone thing.

It’s not about his slick guitarplaying or his clever lyrics. It’s usually about thehonesty of his songwriting.

I met with Abney back in December 2014 atBlu in Norman, and I experienced much of whatBecky Carman describes in our cover story.Frankly, she nailed it with this one and her workcontinues to impress me. It’s an honest portrayalof an honest artist. Abney’s rapidfire, genuinepersonality has been bottled and expertly ex-plained in this issue. I’m very proud of our effortto shine a light on his work because his newalbum sounds fantastic, and he’s touring fe-verishly outside of the state.

He’s doing everything he can to get his nameout there, and it’s going to be a big year for him.He’ll keep busy with his solo album, but his work on John Moreland’s upcomingalbum “High on Tulsa Heat” will no doubt raise his profile too. Abney even appearson that album’s cover in what looks like a blurred iPhone photo.

A special thanks to all the photographers who provided images for our cover storyand Ebony Dallas for piecing everything together. It’s always been my aim withLOOKatOKC to include new voices on our pages. I think we’ve done that with thisissue. The proof is between all the beautiful photos, clean design and our engagingstories.

Oklahoma music is off to a good start this year. Make sure to be on the lookout forour next issue where Matt Carney explores the connection between Norman musi-cian Beau Jennings and his love for Will Rogers.

ull-circle theory rings true in the life of artist Randall Barnes. Barnes, once supervisor of the OKC Police Department’s Graffi ti Removal Unit, will soon present a graffi ti-removal artistic installation in Oklahoma Visual Arts Coali-tion’s 2015 “Momentum.”

“The aesthetic of street art and graffi ti relates to the context of my work. I bor-row from them as an aesthetic means to depict my narrative,” Barnes said.

His process for creating art involves a mixture of binge watching kung-fu fi lms, documenting the exchange between graffi ti creation and removal and blending hip-hop with art history. Then comes the occasional self-portrait.

“I use fl at colors and multiple layers of content

to depict the narrative of the #RedShirtCollective a group of heroic kung fu artisans,” he said.

The #RedShirtCollective portrays Barnes in a variety of poses associated with martial arts to highlight an ongoing cultural and artistic exchange.

The pulse of his artistic practice is his commu-nity. It’s what keeps Barnes going. In fact, when he’s not painting or printmaking, you can fi nd him volunteering at arts events such as ArtNow at Oklahoma Contemporary or serving on commit-tees for various art organizations.

“It is important to support your community. In doing so you’ll fi nd the support you need as well. Whether it is a small group of like-minded people or your greater community as a whole, if we all support the communities we operate in, the bet-ter they will be,” Barnes said.

Removing graffi ti from the walls of property

owners, businesses, homes, fences and even vehicles, is one of the many ways Barnes has given back.

“The majority of the graffi ti I buffed was van-dalizing people’s properties … It was a service that the communities I worked in truly needed and appreciated,” Barnes said.

Mark your calendar to experience the March 6 and 7 opening of Momentum, an exhibition by artists 30 and under. Here you can meet Barnes, experience his graffi ti-removal installation and view the work of other dynamic artists from across the state.

ITALIAN PIE TAKEN TO A NEW LEVELPIZZERIA GUSTO IS AN UNCOMMON PIZZA PLACE WHOSE ACQUAINTANCE YOU WILL BE EXCEEDINGLY HAPPY TO MAKE

D A V E C A T H E Ythe food dude


n Spanish, “mucho gusto” is a common phrase meaning “nice to meet you.” In Oklahoma City, Pizzeria Gusto, 2415 N Walker Ave., is an uncommon pizza place whose acquaintance you’ll be happy to make.

Owners Chris Lower and chef Kathryn Mathis have taken Oklahoma City’s dining scene by storm with a succession of well-appointed, modern fast-casual concepts, but with Pizzeria Gusto the dynamic duo may have found their magnum opus by adding an elegant bar, table-service and an atmosphere that off ers a variety of experiences.

Pizzeria Gusto’s prime initiative is to celebrate and serve the pizza tradition of Naples, Italy, which is so proud of its pizza that those who wish to serve it must follow strict guidelines to market their pies with the Neapolitan stamp. The result is a thin-crusted pizza marked by the char no dough can avoid when exposed to wood-fueled, 900-degree heat.

On the way to becoming America’s favorite restaurant fare, pizza has evolved in dozens of directions since it fi rst hit our shores shortly after World War II: Chicago-style, New York-style, California-style, to name a few.

So, news that we have a new pizza place in town doesn’t usually resonate because it hap-pens monthly. But when the creative forces be-hind Big Truck Tacos, Mutt’s Amazing Hot Dogs and Back Door BBQ open a new pizza place, the Oklahoma City dining enthusiast takes keen interest.

And with good reason. Lower and Mathis are as important a tandem in the current restau-rant renaissance as anyone in the market. Their contributions all have succeeded on the same principle: high standards.

In my humble opinion, Pizzeria Gusto repre-sents their most prodigious gustatory home run yet.

FEEDING ‘THE BEAST’

Mathis has faced down the enormous wood-devouring, fi re-breathing oven, which looks like it might’ve had a role in “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes” with aplomb. Mathis refers to it as “The Beast.”

“I usually come in about 8 a.m. to get the fi re started,” she said. “I stir the embers a little then start adding fresh wood — it takes at least two hours to get it up and running to 900 degrees.”

Once orders come in, pizzas pop out of The Beast in about 90 seconds.

But this isn’t fast food by any stretch. To meet the Neapolitan standards, the pizza must not only be wood-fi red but adhere to strict guide-lines in the dough-making process.

That means “00” fl our, which isn’t licensed to kill, but its superfi ne, practically talcum-powder texture ensures a killer crust.

“For a 55-pound batch of dough, I only use about an ounce of yeast,” Mathis said.

That small amount of yeast for such a large batch doesn’t mean the dough won’t rise; it means the dough won’t rise in the span of a day. For Mathis’ taste, it takes two days of rest before the dough is considered ready to take on a few toppings before exposure to The Beast.

Classic Neapolitan pizza also is topped with sauce derived from San Marzano tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella. Mathis uses both, but the cheese takes a little extra eff ort.

“We make all our mozzarella in house,” she said.Over the past six to eight months, Mathis has

become a pizza ninja, learning what other top-pings and accoutrements work best with their unique crust and turning out a menu that is sec-ond to none. In the realm of pizza opinion, there is virtually no agreement so it’s pointless for me to perpetrate the idea that any one pizza is better

than another. Instead, I will tell you that my tolerance for pizza ran about once every three months before Pizzeria Gusto opened. That tolerance is now runs at about once a week.

IDEAS AND EXECUTION

But it’s not just because of the pizza. The menu is stacked with winners from hot wings and fried artichokes to more robust entrees like the toe-curling Gnocchi served with braised short-rib and a selection of well-conceived and executed desserts.

The atmosphere can be an intimate dinner for two stretched over two hours with small plates, cocktails and wine or a quick bite at the communal table with a view of either the open kitchen or the television-adorned bar. And at that bar you’ll fi nd a seasonal cocktail program devised by Scott Glidewell, who

is generally regarded as the barkeep most likely to dazzle and educate you within mixology circles.

Unlike previous concepts, Pizzeria Gusto wasn’t the idea of either Mathis or Lower. The idea for a pizza concept built around a pizza cooked over an open fi re came from Picasso’s Cafe owner Shaun Fiaccone.

“Shaun brought us the idea for a concept called ‘Coaled Pizza,’ and the pizza was cooked over coal embers,” Lower said.

That original meeting goes back nearly two years. Since then, the idea evolved into wood-fi red Nea-politan pizza. Fiaccone, who remains an investor in the restaurant, not only owns Picasso’s but recently started the Ciao Wagon mobile kitchen with chef Ryan Parrott.

The Pizzeria Gusto building itself brought on many adventures in its remodel, including an original art deco cast-stone facade that was unearthed and pre-

served. The rear parking lot only recently was com-pleted, and the back patio is not complete. In other words, this outstanding addition to the local dining scene still stands to improve.

“We plan to start off ering brunch in the spring,” Lower said. “We’ll have the patio completed by then and, hopefully, some warmer weather to go with it.”

IF YOU GO

Pizzeria Gusto opens at 11 a.m. Monday through Saturday. It closes at 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and midnight Fridays and Saturdays. The restaurant does not off er delivery, but take-out order can placed by calling 437-4992.

Norman songbird Kierston White has been

hard to miss in the past year. With a de-

but album, “Don’t Write Love Songs,”

receiving glowing reviews, White is finding

her way — with a little help from

her friends — and also figuring out

how to go it alone.

Q: You’ve been playing music fora long time, but in the last cou-ple of years, you’ve kind ofthrown everything into it. Whatset that off?Kierston White: I had a bunch of

songs put together, and all my

friends kept telling me I needed to

put them on an album, which was

true — they were ripe. I knew that

I couldn’t go any further unless I

made one. My brother (Bryon

White of The Damn Quails) said,

“You know these are good. I know maybe you don’t

want people to hear them, but everyone needs to

hear them now.” So I said OK, and that’s when I

went out on a limb and did a Kickstarter, which

was really uncomfortable for me. And ever since

then, I just didn’t look back.

Q: You recorded at Blackwatch Studios and hadSamantha Crain produce it. There are so manyplaces to make a record around here. Whythere?White: I wanted it to be a little bit edgier than I

might have done it somewhere that aims toward

country music. I wanted it more alt-country, a mixture

between my taste and Samantha’s. She’s a little more

indie, and I’m a little more country, but I like her records.

I wanted it to sound a little more like that. I don’t want

to be just Texas country or just this

or just that. I’d like it to appeal to

other people.

Q: So what else made Sam a goodchoice for producer?White: She has ideas, and she’s not

afraid to say them out loud. Some-

times I’ll have an idea, but I’d be too

afraid to hurt people’s feelings, but

she’s not afraid.

Q: You just did a tour with JohnMoreland, your first actual tour.Was that what you expected?White: I was afraid that people

wouldn’t come. I’ve never been to

these places. I didn’t realize how

popular he is in other places because I’d never been

those places for music. It exceeded my expectations in

that way. People showed up, they supported us, they

gave us money sometimes. One lady brought us a gift

bag of road snacks and crossword puzzles and stuff.

People were really cool.

Q: A lot of people became aware of you after youformed the Tequila Songbirds. Why’d you start thatgroup?White: There are a lot of female musicians in Oklaho-

ma who never played together — didn’t like each other,

didn’t know each other. I felt like there was this boys’

club where all the boys knew each other, got along and

played in each others’ bands, and the girls didn’t. It start-

ed off like a game show host thing; I’d put two people

together who I’d heard maybe didn’t like each other. And

then people started to get into it.

It’s more like a sisterhood than a band. It wasn’t ever

supposed to be a band.

Q: How would you be different as a writer or per-former if the Songbirds had never happened?White: I wouldn’t have learned how to play with other

people and experiment, and it allowed me to understand

and see the appeal of messing up. We were never per-

fect, and we’d do shows where we’d never practiced. I

thought it was really beautiful that we could mess up

live, and people would still love that.

Q: You spend so much time with people who startedtheir careers a bit earlier and are one step ahead ofwhere you are now. Do you have any idea what you’regoing to do next? What you should do next?White: I know that I need to get some road experience

for myself. All my friends who tour have friends in other

places who help them, that they’ve helped when they

came here. I’m trying to think of all the people I’ve

helped when they came here, to reach out to them and

go to their towns. I’ll do some trial and error, a couple of

circles around different areas, the same run I did with

Moreland again. I’ll figure out what works, meet people

to open for. Things just connect, and they happen, so I’ll

just keep working. If you don’t stop working, you won’t

get stale.

Three years ago, former Women guitarist

Christopher Reimer passed away at age 26.

Women had gone on an indefinite hiatus

two years prior, but

Reimer’s unfortunate death

made the possibility of a Women

reunion vanish. Losing a friend

and band mate at such a young

age could only have a profound

affect on the other members of

Women.

Enter Viet Cong. Formed by

drummer Mike Wallace and

bassist/vocalist Matt Flegel, both

formerly of Women, Viet Cong’s

self-titled debut carries their

previous band’s torch with a

much brighter flame. Aggressive

drumming and ear-splitting gui-

tars justify the militaristic themes scattered across

the album’s seven tracks. Song titles reference bun-

kers and marches while the lyrics are constantly

wrestling with death and the purpose of carrying on.

The songs couldn’t be more ferocious or unforgiv-

ing. “March of Progress” is a three-part suite that

stays true to its name. It begins with what could

pass as an interlude with Wallace hypnotically roll-

ing over what sounds like drums covered in gravel.

The trance is swiftly shattered with guitar licks

alternating from the left and right sides of the

speakers. A brief pause signals the grand finale

where the two guitars finally smash into each other

to create a soaring symphony with

Flegel begging to know the differ-

ence between love and hate.

Although Viet Cong’s inventive

songwriting is surely the band’s

calling card, its approach to straight-

forward songs under the four-min-

ute mark should have jaws smacking

the floor. “Continental Shelf” an-

nounces itself proudly with a tri-

umphant guitar melody on top of

the immortal “Be My Baby” drum

beat. It doesn’t rest on its laurels,

opting to roll across Wallace’s war

drums to best set the listener up for

the song’s infectious chorus again.

The album ends with “Death,” an 11-minute track

that spends most of its runtime winding down in

cataclysmic fashion, only to snap back into focus

with another short onslaught of post-punk ecstasy.

It’s a moment nothing short of life-affirming. It’s the

sound of a band that has seen the grim reaper take

one of its own without remorse.

How could you possibly be sad with sun-

shine that never seemed to go away?

Melbourne pop janglers Twerps beg the

question on virtually

every track of “Range Anxiety,” a

record that skips and smiles from

just about every angle, regardless

of mood or tone. The band takes

simple twee and accentuates the

feeling of first love, dipping deep

into a swimming pool that some-

how never gets dirty with leaves

and grime. Even though we may

be in the dead of winter, Twerps

is enjoying another brilliant Aus-

tralian summer, and we’re along

for the ride.

Twerps does an excellent job

paying homage to bands that

are sometimes forgotten but

immortal nonetheless in their

impact on the current jangle

indie pop phase. “I Don't Mind,”

the album’s second track, would

feel right at home on a Galaxie

500 record. There is honesty here, quiet reflection

and solemn happiness in the now rather than what

would or could have been. The simple swing of “New

Moves” strolls lazily along, endearing guitar twang

ringing true. Truly, these songs could back mul-

tiple episodes of ’90s cult television classic “The

Adventures of Pete & Pete” in

the way they so perfectly cap-

ture the blissful and confusing

feeling of adolescence in its

most fun form.

It’s easy to imagine yourself

listening to a song like “Simple

Feelings” while bobbing your

head, carelessly walking no-

where to do nothing, which is

just perfect. The beauty of

Twerps’ simple songwriting

formula is on full display with

“Simple Feelings,” whereas deep

album cut “Fern Murderers”

finds your inner teenager

watching fireworks with the

person you’ve had a crush on

since grade school. If you’re not

grinning ear-to-ear after letting

it wash over you, listen to it

again until you get it right.

Having a band like Twerps release a record like

“Range Anxiety” is a wonderful tribute to the

band’s talent and taste. The musicians are talent-

ed enough to know that it’s not how much you do,

but precisely what you do and your execution. Plen-

ty of albums released in the early months of the

year tend to fall by the wayside at year’s end, but

one thing is for certain: Twerps plans to be there.

Even if every little thing in your life seems to be

wrong, Twerps will be there to make it all right.

FOR FANS OF: Galaxie 500, Yo La Tengo and Real Estate.

FAVORITE TRACKS:“Cheap Education,” Fern Murderers” and“Simple Feelings.”

HOW TO LISTEN:In winter dreaming of summer, holdinghands with that perfect person for the firsttime ever or at the end of the night watch-ing fireworks.

Often when a musician takes time off from

his or her primary band to make a solo

album, the results can feel inferior and

therefore not be as well-received. In the

case of Noah Lennox, better known as Panda Bear,

his recent solo efforts have slowly begun to eclipse

the recent output of his original

band Animal Collective.

Since Animal Collective re-

leased “Merriweather Post Pavil-

lion” in 2009, Panda Bear teamed

with Pete “Sonic Boom” Kember,

formerly of Spacemen 3, to re-

lease “Tomboy” in 2011. That solo

album proved to hold up much

better than Animal Collective’s

lukewarm “Centipede Hz,” which

may be why Lennox chose to

work with Kember a second time

for “Panda Bear Meets the Grim

Reaper.”

Even though the title hints at Panda Bear tackling

darker themes, the music sounds as pleasant as

we’ve come to expect from Lennox. Opener “Se-

quential Circuits” floats over a simple beat as Len-

nox chants about wanting what you need. Lead

single “Mr Noah” settles into a repetitive groove

with a live drum set that crunches underneath Len-

nox’s echoes.

Animal Collective has always been pegged as an

experimental band, a tendency Panda Bear has

often explored on his solo albums. This time he

stays focused and limits his psychedelic drifting to a

couple of 30-second interludes. It helps keep the

album’s momentum going into more

catchy singles like “Crosswords” and

“Boys Latin” that highlight Panda

Bear’s signature vocal abilities.

The album pivots in the middle

with the upbeat and nearly eight-

minute long “Come To Your Senses”

that gives way to the gorgeous,

harp-strumming lullaby “Tropic of

Cancer.” It almost sounds like the

perfect ending, but Panda Bear gen-

erously offers four more equally

languid songs that ease the listener

into the album’s true finale.

I don’t feel Panda Bear’s newest

album will be considered better than his 2007 mas-

terpiece “Person Pitch,” but it sounds like an im-

provement from “Tomboy.” Panda Bear has once

again crafted a beautiful collection of songs that will

help you avoid the grim reaper for many years.

Already an ever-busy and es-

teemed actor, William H. Macy is

building on the directing career

he began in Oklahoma almost

two years ago.

On Jan. 20, his feature film directorial

debut, the musical drama “Rudderless,”

debuts on DVD.

Next month, he will start shooting his

next movie as a director, “Crystal,” a come-

dy starring Josh Hutcherson, Sienna Miller

and Jane Fonda, in Atlanta.

In addition, Macy is continuing his star-

ring role in Showtime’s black comedy

“Shameless,” which this week debuted its

fifth season and was renewed for a sixth.

“Rudderless,” filmed in 2013 in Oklahoma

City, Guthrie and Edmond, stars Billy Crudup

(“Almost Famous”) as Sam, a grieving, alco-

holic father whose ex-wife (Macy’s Academy

Award-nominated wife, Felicity Huffman)

gives him a box of their deceased son’s origi-

nal music. In the aftermath of his boy’s tragic

death in a mass shooting on his college

campus, Sam forms a band so he can give

voice and life to the music.

“I don’t think I’m exaggerating: I don’t

think I’ve ever been that alive in my whole

life. One of the lovely benefits of directing

this film at this point in my career is that I

fell in love with this business all over

again,” Macy, 64, said in a phone interview

this week.

“I did not realize the perspective that a

director has. I sat there and I looked at this

group of people, this machine that we

build to make these films, and it was hum-

bling. I can’t think of another way to make

a living where you get such a disparate

group of people from such diverse back-

grounds all working together intimately, all

pulling in the same direction to make a

piece of art.”

Q: One of the DVD features is deletedscenes. Are you glad that some ofthose scenes are going to get to havenew life on DVD?Macy: Actually, I know people love that

stuff, but no. (laughs) I’d prefer the stuff

that I shot that didn’t make the film to go

off to someplace and rest in peace. There’s

a part of me that feels a little chagrined

that I put so much effort and capital into

things that didn’t make it into the film.

Q: What was it about this particularscript (by Edmond-based screenwrit-ers Casey Twenter and Jeff Robison)?Now that you look back on it, wasthere one thing in particular that madeit the story you wanted to tell?Macy: I think ultimately it’s because it’s a

story I’ve never heard, and violence is very

much on my mind these days. I think the

violence in film is concerning to me. I find

a lot of the violence in film to be blatantly

untruthful. We can do a lot of things in

this business, but one of things we must

do is tell the truth — and I feel like there’s

a lot of bull**** violence out there. And

this told a tale of the ancillary victims of

violence that we don’t think of.

I’ve just never seen this story. No one’s

ever thought about the family, and it

scared the **** out of me, truthfully, be-

cause we were on such thin ice. If people

thought we were excusing it or trying to

explain it, we could have died a thousand

deaths. So I knew how tricky it was ... and

I thought, “Well, if it scares you that

much, this is the movie you gotta make.”

Q: Is there anything about Oklahomaand your time here that will be influ-ential to you or treasured to you mov-ing forward?Macy: They were debating the tax cred-

its (“Rudderless” was made in Oklahoma

using the state’s 35 percent Film En-

hancement Rebate). The Legislature was

trying to figure whether they wanted to

continue with the tax credits, which they

ultimately did continue with it. But some-

body stood up in the Legislature and

referred to us filmmakers as “purveyors

of filth,” and I think that happened on the

day that I got to Oklahoma City. (laughs)

But my experience was this: I’m not

sure we could’ve made the film anywhere

other than Oklahoma City. The outpouring

of support that we got sort of to this day

boggles my mind. I’d look at these sets

that they’d come up with, and I know our

budget, I kept waiting for the police to

show up. I thought, “How are you coming

up with this?” And it’s because the Okla-

homans were just as generous as could

be. I made friends there that are my

friends to this day, and some of them are

going to be involved in my next film —

producers and financiers and actors.

You know, the (May 2013) tornadoes

went ripping through there at the same

time, and I really got a graphic view of how

tough people in that state are and how

good they are and how deep they are. I

just shudder when I think of trying to

make “Rudderless” if we’d been in one of

those states that makes lots and lots of

films. I don’t think we could have done it. It

took Oklahoma to turn this film.

Although you can hardly cross a major met-

ropolitan area without running into a street

named after the famed orator and progen-

itor of the civil rights movement, it may

come as a surprise to learn that “Selma” is the first

major motion picture to tackle Martin Luther King

Jr.’s legacy.

In Ava DuVernay’s “Selma,” King is played with

preternatural restraint by David Oyelowo, who lends

a quiet dignity to the screen even in the midst of the

most horrific turmoil. He is presented, flaws and all,

as the crux upon which the civil rights movement

rests, urging his followers to keep hope in the face of

monstrous adversity, the white lawmakers who block

progress and the deeply misanthropic racism that

was latent in the American belief system in the late

’50s and early ’60s.

In “Selma,” we are taken inside King’s inner circle,

where the movement’s machinations to reach nation-

al awareness are revealed. Their intentions are not to

further selfish interest, but rather to push the neces-

sary agenda of improving the black vote. In the Deep

South, even though blacks are legally allowed to vote,

local politics have made the act of registration all but

impossible. This fact is keenly demonstrated when

Annie Lee Cooper (Oprah Winfrey) attempts to reg-

ister only to be told that she must first recite the

preamble to the constitution, state how many county

judges there are in Alabama — and after succeeding

at both obstacles is told she must list each of the 67

judges by name.

King is the messiah of the movement, but he is

shown to be as human as the next man. Temporarily

jailed for protesting, he confronts his own demons of

doubt as to whether he is on the right path. When

his wife, Coretta Scott King (Carmen Ejogo), hears

tapes that supposedly contain audio of King in the

act of coitus with another woman, we realize she is

aware of his extramarital affairs. King isn’t painted as

a flawless hero, but rather a conflicted, genuinely

passionate and powerful leader in a time when the

country was starved for change.

“Selma” will break your heart a hundred times over,

from the scenes of violence. Yet, this is a necessary

story, being told at a time when America is under-

going mass racial upheaval.

Watch “Selma,” tell everyone about “Selma” and

heed its triumph. We’ve come a long way from

bombing young children in their church just because

of the color of their skin, yet we seem to have forgot-

ten how hard our forerunners fought to make this

country free, and forgotten how many people have

died along the way to fight for equality.

‘Selma’ is a powerful depiction of the civil rightsmovement, paints honest portrait of King

movie review ‘ S E L M A ’


Blackhat felt like the longest two hours of

my life.

I heard the hacker/action film was jokingly

referred to as “Thor” with computers

before its screening, and that couldn’t be further

from the truth (as if that were even a selling

point). Yes, it stars Chris Hemsworth, and al-

though that stack of muscles looks like he could

carry three movies at once, he manages to drop

“Blackhat” harder than a dumbbell on the gym

floor. Abs will only get you so far when you lose

your accent halfway through a movie.

But I’m not going to solely place the blame on

Hemsworth. Director Michael Mann (“Public Ene-

mies,” “Heat”), who has shown he can handle an

action film in the past, completely botches this at-

tempt. It didn’t feel like his 11th studio film. It felt like

his first.

Here’s the plot, as if it were as important as the

film’s numerous explosions. Nicholas Hathaway

(Hemsworth) gets pulled out of prison to aid Amer-

ican and Chinese agencies in stopping a Web-based

thug from using zeros and ones to cripple the in-

ternational banking network and destroy factories.

“Blackhat” and its brilliant subtlety lets you know

the attacks are being done with computers through

shots that literally travel between fiber optics. Spoiler

alert: It’s nauseating to watch, it’s lazy execution and

another poor attempt at action. These scenes felt

like someone was just fast-forwarding 1982’s “TRON”

at quadruple speed.

So, forget for a minute that a great action movie

somewhat depends on half-decent acting, a likable

hero and an engaging battle between that hero and

a villain. Maybe you want to see this just to stare at

Hemsworth. Well, good luck. The perpetually earth-

quaking camera sits still about as successfully as a

room full of first-graders with king-sized candy bars

and soda. The jarring cinematography not only de-

stroys the potential for effective action scenes but

also is extremely obnoxious. The camera has a har-

der time nailing focus than this movie did.

And poor Viola Davis. Thank you for trying in this

movie. You really didn’t have to.

The only thing “Blackhat” has going for it is that

it’s overwhelmingly forgettable. You’d be better off

spending two hours surfing on your own computer.

movie review‘ B L A C K H A T ’


Clint Eastwood needs to slow down.

That’s not a comment on the four-time

Oscar winner’s age; I’m glad he’s still making

movies at 84 and look forward to a well-

crafted film when I see his name above the title.

But when you release 14 movies in as many years,

including two last year, it seems inevitable that

potential greatness slips away, leaving some stories

so flawed in the telling that the viewer can’t help

but feel let down.

That’s the case with “American Sniper,” Eastwood’s

second film of 2014, which opened in Oklahoma City

Jan. 16 after debuting in limited release at Christmas-

time. Stellar performances from Bradley Cooper and

Sienna Miller, along with tense combat sequences,

endue Eastwood’s biopic of Navy SEAL sniper Chris

Kyle with a stately, unfussy power, but preventable

mistakes plague the film and ultimately diminish it.

Giving a performance outstanding enough to rival

his supporting turn in 2013’s “American Hustle,”

Cooper produces and stars in the adaptation of

Kyle’s best-selling memoir “American Sniper: The

Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S.

Military History.” The Philadelphia native packed on

about 30 pounds of bulky muscle, adopted an au-

thentic Texas drawl and learned to handle firearms

convincingly enough to portray a marksman who

notched more than 150 confirmed kills over four

tours of duty in Iraq.

The biopic opens with Chris sprawled watchfully

on a rooftop in Fallujah, eyeing an Iraqi woman hand-

ing a little boy what looks like a grenade near a group

of Marines; his commander radios that Kyle will have

to make the call on whether or not to shoot the

woman and child.

Eastwood then flashes back to Chris’ childhood

in rural Texas, where his stern father (Ben Reed)

not only trained him to hunt but also taught him

that people were divided into three types: the

sheep, the wolves who prey on them and the

sheepdogs who protect the sheep from the preda-

tors. His categorization as a sheepdog profoundly

shapes Chris’ psyche.

The film also covers Kyle’s rodeo cowboy days, his

decision to enlist in the Navy after the 1998 Amer-

ican embassy bombings and his arduous training as

a SEAL. He’s just wrapping up his training when he

charms his future bride, Taya (Miller), in a bar, and

they’re just getting serious when 9/11 plunges Amer-

ica into war. They get married just before Chris is

sent off to Iraq, where he focuses with laser in-

tensity on his job.

The taciturn Texan has a clear, vigilant view of

that job: He shoots insurgents without regret be-

cause he’s tasked with protecting Marines on the

ground at any costs. But we see the work slowly

take a psychological toll, especially when he returns

— always on edge — to Taya and their growing fam-

ily in between tours. He is semi-jokingly dubbed

“Legend” by his fellow SEALS — and seriously called

“The Devil of Ramadi” by the insurgents who put a

high price on his head — but he is visibly uncomfort-

able when he meets a Marine back home who fer-

vently thanks him for saving his life.

Eastwood earned a Directors Guild of America

nomination on the strength of his well-staged

scenes of Chris in battle, as unfinished business

with al-Qaeda leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, his

enforcer “The Butcher” (Mido Hamada) and rival

Syrian sniper Mustafa (Sammy Sheik) keeps pulling

Kyle back to Iraq.

But Eastwood’s work feels unfinished, too. He

lets too many of the wartime sequences drag on

endlessly; the characters, except for Kyle, seem

woefully underdeveloped; and the domestic

scenes feel underwritten and incomplete, almost

like rehearsal footage deemed good enough. For

instance, Cooper and Miller deliver the perform-

ance of their careers during an argument over

what’s supposed to be their infant daughter, but

instead end up cradling a jarringly fake plastic

baby and trying to pretend it’s the real thing.

There’s just no excuse for that kind of nonsense.

Clearly, Eastwood is no newcomer to the direc-

tor’s chair, but his failure to mind the details down-

grades “American Sniper” from a potentially great

film to one that isn’t quite good enough.

An 18-hole miniature golf course is set to

open this spring along the Bricktown

Canal in conjunction with Brickopolis, an

entertainment venue that will include

laser tag, amusements, a pizza restaurant and gift

shop.

Engineer Tim Johnson, who presented plans for

the golf course Jan. 14 to the Bricktown Urban

Design Committee, said the miniature golf course

was chosen to occupy what is considered a prime

corner on the canal after a deal for a boutique hotel

fell through three months ago.

“There are a lot of attractions in Bricktown, es-

pecially in December when you have a lot of kids

either snow tubing or riding the canal boats,” John-

son said. “This will be another time-consuming

entertainment option that will bring life to the canal.”

Johnson said the course is being designed to reflect

Bricktown and its history, and will include extensive

landscaping, bridges and water features.

Construction continues, meanwhile, on Brickopolis

across the canal, immediately west of the Chickasaw

Bricktown Ballpark. Brick work is underway.

“It’s going well,” Johnson said. “There were delays

with the weather and delivery of steel. But we’re over

that. We still anticipate getting open by midyear.”

Brickopolis and the miniature golf course are being

developed by Chris Johnson, who owns USA Screen

Printing. Johnson said Wednesday he has decided to

keep his House of Bedlam Shop, originally to be part of

Brickopolis, at its current location in Lower Bricktown. A

new gift shop will sell non-Bedlam merchandise and

gifts at Brickopolis.

Johnson said Brickopolis is being designed to allow

families with children to enjoy pizza, arcade and re-

demption games like foosball on the canal level, and

more mature shooting games and laser tag to be of-

fered on the building’s third floor.

Mallory O’Neill, director of the Bricktown Association,

welcomed the attraction as the district seeks to expand

its visitor draw throughout the year.

“It’s going to be a great temporary use for a space that

has been vacant for 18 months,” O’Neill said. “It will add

activity to the canal and be a great mix with the laser tag

at Brickopolis. It will be a great family attraction.”

A bill proposed by a freshman state sen-

ator could pave the way for beer con-

sumers to take a frosty six-pack home

from the liquor store.

Senate Bill 383, by Sen. Stephanie Bice, R-Okla-

homa City, would amend state law to allow liquor

stores to refrigerate beer “to a temperature that is

below room temperature.”

State law now states that alcoholic beverages

sold in liquor stores, or package stores, are to be

sold at “ordinary room temperature.”

Advocates of refrigeration have argued keeping

beer cold on store shelves increases its life span

and protects the integrity of its ingredients. They

also suggest providing refrigeration in stores would

encourage some national craft beer brands to in-

clude Oklahoma in their distribution footprints.

Opponents have said some liquor store owners

would not be able to afford the cost of installing

and operating cooling equipment.

“I’ve heard from scores of Oklahomans from all

parts of the state who are really supportive of this

effort to modernize state law to enable the sale of

cold high-point beer in liquor stores,” said Bice, who

was elected to office in November. “The response

I’ve received has been overwhelmingly in favor of

this legislation.”

Consumers would still have to purchase high-

point beer at liquor stores. Bice said making refrig-

eration optional could be done with a statutory

change and is something many other states already

allow.

Bryan Kerr, communications director for the nonprof-

it Retail Liquor Association of Oklahoma, said the

group’s members have weighed in on both sides of the

refrigeration issue.

“The upside is slightly longer shelf lives and the con-

venience of near-immediate consumption,” said Kerr,

whose group represents nearly 100 liquor stores across

the state. “The downside is that refrigeration will ne-

cessitate both capital investment and ongoing energy

costs for the business, which may result in higher beer

prices for everyone.

“In short, some of our members support the idea while

others would rather keep the price as low as possible.”

Jenks liquor store owner Freddy Lamport said he

would add refrigeration to his store given the option.

“It just adds a beneficial convenience for the custom-

er,” said Lamport, who owns BierGarten Wine & Spirits.

“They can enjoy their beverages as soon as they get

home, instead of having to wait. In the Oklahoma sum-

mer, that is a big deal.

“It is a step in the right direction for the liberation of

Oklahoma’s archaic liquor laws.”

In Midwest City, craft brewer Blaine Stansel, of

Roughtail Brewing Co., said he views potential passage

of SB 383 as “a really big deal.”

“This can make a big difference on the craft beer

scene in Oklahoma for consumers,” Stansel said.

He said refrigeration would also help Roughtail’s

products.

“We do a lot of hoppy beers,” Stansel said. “The hops

fade over time. The longer you can keep it cool, the long-

er the shelf life it will have.”

If consumers bought a hoppy beer like an IPA — or

India Pale Ale — after it sat on the liquor store shelf for

four months, Stansel said, “It’s not going to be anything

like it was when we first canned it.”

He also argues that refrigeration in liquor stores

would encourage popular national brands like New Bel-

gium Brewing Co., of Colorado, and Stone Brewing Co.,

of California, to distribute in Oklahoma.

“For a lot of these breweries (refrigeration is) a big

deal,” Stansel said.

Brian Krueger, who leads New Belgium’s sales team in

opening new markets, said it was “good to hear” that

Oklahoma was considering refrigeration.

“That would definitely help to move (Oklahoma) up

on the priority list knowing that our beers would be

better cared for at retail,” he said.

Jill Ogden, manager of 2nd Street Wine Co. in Ed-

mond, said she agreed refrigeration would encourage

other craft breweries to ship to Oklahoma.

Ogden said they would install a cooler, “As soon as

that’s a reality. We’re excited about it.”

“The consumer is ready for it,” she said. “They’ve been

asking for it for years. Especially with a lot of people

coming into the metro from out of state.”

With the hiring of a new president to

grow the brand and a high-profile

endorsement deal with Kevin Du-

rant, Oklahoma City-based Orange

Leaf Frozen Yogurt hopes to position itself for

rapid growth.

About 45 employees work at Orange Leaf's

headquarters near Quail Springs Mall. A row of

self-service frozen yogurt dispensers greets vis-

itors in the reception area of the corporate office,

just like the machines found at the chain's roughly

300 locations. There are also toppings such as

nuts and chocolate candies.

This week, Orange Leaf announced that it had

tapped Geoff Goodman, a veteran of several fran-

chise-based companies, as its new president.

Goodman, who most recently served as vice

president of brand excellence for the Dallas-based

CiCi's Pizza, will oversee operations, product devel-

opment, brand management and franchise devel-

opment.

“We are going to focus now on getting better in all

elements of our business,” Goodman said. “When we

are the best at what we do, our customers will demand

that we get bigger.”

Reese Travis, a former offensive lineman for the

University of Oklahoma football team, will remain CEO

of Orange Leaf.

Travis began as an Orange Leaf franchisee. He and

his business partners bought Orange Leaf in 2010 and

moved the company's headquarters from San Francis-

co to Oklahoma City. The chain had only about 15

stores when the group purchased the company.

Travis sees Goodman as a “strategic hire” to help

grow the Orange Leaf brand, he said.

The chain has recently expanded its reach into Aus-

tralia, with six franchise locations, and hopes for addi-

tional overseas expansion into China and Mexico,

among other markets.

Orange Leaf has set a goal of opening 1,000 stores in

the United States and internationally by 2020.

Durant now owns an undisclosed stake in Orange

Leaf, as part of an endorsement deal announced in Sep-

tember. The deal is one of Durant's only equity-based

deals in the Oklahoma City Thunder star's rapidly grow-

ing portfolio of lucrative endorsements, which include

Sonic Drive-In and Nike.

So far, Durant has promoted Orange Leaf via his Twitter

feed, including a contest that encouraged customers to

post pictures of their frozen yogurt in exchange for prizes.

Orange Leaf also recently gave away frozen yogurt to

children at a Christmas party for the Oklahoma City-

based nonprofit Positive Tomorrows, which featured an

appearance by Durant. Positive Tomorrows operates an

elementary school for homeless children in the city.

The endorsement was announced via Durant's Twit-

ter account, which has about 9 million followers.

“More than 9 million people saw that tweet — it's

elevating the brand. There's nothing but upside for us,”

Travis said.

BETTER LUCK THIS T IME

FROM A BATTLE OF THE BANDS TO HIS FANTASTIC, NEW FULL-LENGTH, TULSA-BASED MUSICIAN JOHN CALVIN ABNEY HAS COME A LONG WAY IN 10 YEARS

BY BECKY CARMAN | FOR LOOKatOKC

had no concept of ‘a song.’”Oklahoma artist John Calvin Abney’s con-

versation moves at a punk-rock pace. He’s a frenetic creature, rowdy and sweet, juggling a million thoughts and interests at once, and

even for me — I’ve called him a friend for a few years now — sometimes it’s diffi cult to keep up.

Still, this theme repeats several times during our conversation: At one point, not all that long ago, Abney, 25, had no concept of a song.

This realization has been a relatively long time in coming for Abney, who recently rebranded him-self to “John Calvin Abney” — leaving behind the largely un-Google-able John Calvin monkier. Now he’s poised squarely between what are easily the two best songwriting efforts of his short career.

November’s “Empty Candles” is a seven-song EP “guerrilla-released” on a whim after a weeklong home recording session a month prior.

“I had been sitting on those songs forever, and I wanted to record them because I’ve been play-ing them live all the time,” Abney said. “Why wait for the LP? Why not release them so people have something? Or for me, too, so I have something.”

The LP he wasn’t waiting on is “Better Luck,” Abney’s fi rst full-length release, due out Jan. 25.

benefi t Norman’s Jazz in June.Mardi Gras comes to Norman early

this year – on Valentines Day – and Jazz in June is celebrating both at “Meet Me on Bourbon Street … With Mardi Gras Romance” at Shevaun Williams & As-sociates, 221 E. Main St.

Revelers at the annual fundraiser can enjoy great food, live music and a

premier viewing spot for the Norman Mardi Gras Parade – and be the fi rst to know the headliners for Jazz in June 2015, scheduled for June 18-20.

“Meet Me on Bourbon Street has become a favorite event among com-munity jazz fans because it embodies the same fun, relaxed environment as our concerts,” said Jazz in June president Michael Lewchuk. “This year will be especially festive because we’re

combining the joyfulness of Mardi Gras with the romance of Valentine’s Day.”

State Rep. Scott Martin and Angie Martin will serve as the event’s king and queen. The Brass Beats will provide live New Orleans-style music.

Tickets for “Meet Me on Bourbon Street … With Mardi Gras Romance” are $50 per person and are available at http://jazzinjune.org. Attendees must be 21 or older.

FEB. 14 • 6 P.M. - 9 P.M. Oklahoma Red Dirt pioneers Randy

Crouch, Tom Skinner and Chuck Dunlap will appear at 8 p.m. Jan. 31 at ACM@UCO, 329 E Sheridan Ave. in Bricktown. The appear-ance is part of a four-city concert tour that includes Tahlequah, Stillwater, Tulsa as well as Oklahoma City.

Proceeds benefi t the Red Dirt Relief Fund, a fund to provide assistance to Oklahoma musicians in critical need such as medical emergencies or disasters.

Crouch has been a foundation for Okla-homa’s Red Dirt music scene since the beginning. His infl uence extends deep into Oklahoma music of all types, including Folk, Bluegrass, Blues, and Country. Crouch often refers to his songs as “Oklahoma protest music.”

Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame inductee Skinner is not only one of the originators of the Red Dirt sound, he’s also done more than his fair share to keep it going since its incep-tion. Among other things, his weekly Tom Skinner Science Project shows have been a part of the Tulsa sound for the past 15 years.

Dunlap was on the ground fl oor of the acoustic singer-songwriter genre that would later become known as Red Dirt music. He was one of the fi rst Stillwater musicians to release music embracing the multi-genre facets of Red Dirt.

Doors open at 7 p.m. for the ACM@UCO show. Cost is $10 in advance, $15 at door. Purchase tickets at ticketstorm.com, Guest-room Records in Oklahoma City or by calling (866) 966-1777.

FEBRUARY 11 • 8 P.M. Musician, composer and vocal-

ist Eliza Rickman will perform at 8 p.m. Feb. 11 at Istvan Gallery, 1218 N Western.

After her Kickstarter-funded debut of CD “O, You Sinners,” the release of multiple music videos widely considered to be small cin-ematic masterpieces, and a virtual nonstop touring schedule, 2014 provided an elevated level of pro-ductivity and success. Eliza’s song “Pretty Little Head” was featured on episode 45 of the immensely popular podcast “Welcome to Night Vale” and quickly became a

fan favorite, leading to the coveted musical guest spot on their sum-mer tour. She was also invited to contribute to Jason Webley’s “Margaret” — an ensemble concept album about a mysterious woman whose scrapbook was found in a dumpster. Eliza is currently record-ing two albums with Jason Web-ley, both of which are scheduled for release in 2015.

Beverages will be available. For ticket info, contact Stephen Ko-vash via email: [email protected] or call 831-2874. Kovash also can be reached on Facebook.
