By Mary Anne Hempepop reviewer

In 1977, Dr. Jerry. R. Ehman, anastronomer at Ohio State University,was listening to a powerful radiotelescope called The Big Ear when astrange signal caught his attention.Thesignal lasted 72 seconds, which wasn’t allthat weird, but the fact that it wasn’tcoming from Earth or from anywhereelse in our solar system was. Stunned,Dr. Ehman wrote a very unscientific“wow” by the signal in the margin of thecomputer printout to commemorate thecosmic event.

Sadly, the Wow Signal (as it came tobe known) hasn’t been heard since, butone wonders if it might have beenanother species trying to reach out andsay hello — an idea that the late CarlSagan explored in “Contact” (1997), anexhilarating look at what happens whenETs call Earth.

For Ellie Arroway (Jena Malone), itall started with a ham radio, a gift fromher beloved father,Ted (David Morse).From the beginning little Ellie isfascinated with the idea of voices inspace. If she can carry on a radioconversation with people on Earth, is itpossible to talk to someone who’sfrom… somewhere else?

“Do you think there’s life on other

planets?” Ellie asks her father. “Well, itwould be an awful big waste of space ifthere weren’t,” he tells her (which is whatSagan used to say). Convinced that thereare intelligent beings out there, Elliestudies astronomy with a vengeance,becoming Dr. Ellie Arroway (nowplayed by Jodie Foster), a brilliant youngscientist with a bright future. If she’ll justforget all this ET nonsense.

That’s the opinion of Dr. DavidDrumlin (Tom Skerritt), a notedastronomer who thinks Ellie’s work forSETI (Search for Extra-TerrestrialIntelligence) is loony.When Ellie finallygets coveted “dish” time at the world’sbiggest radio telescope in Arecibo,Puerto Rico, Drumlin pulls the plug onthe project, claiming it’s a waste ofmoney and that Ellie is committingprofessional suicide.

Undaunted, Ellie approaches thesuper-wealthy Hadden Corporation forfunding. She is thrilled when her requestis immediately granted, although fourlong years later there’s nothing to showfor it — until one memorable night inthe New Mexican desert when EllieArroway’s dreams of contact finally

comes true.That’s only half the story, though.

That initial contact leads Ellie to thecreation of an enormous spacecraft,several encounters with her eccentricbenefactor S.R. Hadden (a scene-stealing John Hurt), battles with nastygovernment guys (like James Woods), arun-in with a terrorist (Jake Busey),conflicted feelings about her sometimesboyfriend, spiritual advisor Palmer Joss(28-year-old Matthew McConaughey,looking heavenly), and eventually theride of her life.

Sagan, who wrote the book andserved as adviser for the movie, insistedthat “Contact” be accurate and believ-able, and it is. It’s a bummer that Sagandidn’t live long enough to see thefinished product. He died in December1996 of pneumonia after a long battlewith a blood disease. I know he wouldhave loved “Contact,” though, especiallythe awesome opening sequence, Ellie’sride back from the desert dishes, the setsfor the spacecraft and Ellie’s memorabletrip to the cosmos, which is breathtak-ing.

Actually, after thinking about whathappens in the opening of “Contact,”maybe Carl did get to see his movie afterall. I hope so.

Victor Wainwright and theWildrootsBeale Street to the BayouWildroots Records

Victor Wainwright is abig man with a great bigvoice. A product ofSavannah, Ga., this is his

first LP.The Wildroots are a

piano, drums and guitarquartet. Notable influencecomes from bassist Stephen“Cat Daddy” Dees, whowrote or collaborated onmost of the album’s 13original tracks, along withbeing the producer,arranger and engineer.

The title says what’sgoing down. You’re about to

hear an American musicalodyssey from Memphis toNew Orleans. Wainwrightrecalls several strong voicesincluding Mac Rebennack,Don Van Vliet and LeonRussell. The tunes are richand tasty as a good thickgumbo. They all havedistinguishing characteris-

tics that make this afascinating trip.

There are gentlenumbers such as “NotAfraid” and rockers like“Might Man,” guestappearances by 11 othermusicians add saxophone,congas, dobro, blues harp,cello, trumpet, tromboneand fine female back-upvocals. Overall, the effect isone bigger than Dallas.

CD review

Blue Rodeo – “The Things We LeftBehind” (TeleSoul Records) 2009

Released late last year in theirnative Canada and more recentlyhere in the United States, the whip-smart and intelligent alt-countryoutfit Blue Rodeo has gone andreleased one of the best albums oftheir career in the form of a two disc,16-song album titled “The ThingsWe Left Behind.”

A fan of theirs since 1990s criticalfave “Casino,” Blue Rodeo haslargely remained popular in theGreat White North, not gaining theAmerican audience it so sorelydeserves. But every couple of years anew album spawns some renewedinterest in the band which featuressinger-guitarists Jim Cuddy and

Greg Keelor, along with multi-instrumentalist Bob Egan, bassistBazil Donovan and drummer GlennMilchem.“The Things We LeftBehind” is the album that shouldremind American roots-rock fansthat Blue Rodeo is a musicaltreasure.

There is a majestic urgency on theopening track,“All The Things ThatAre Left Behind,” a Neil Young-esque barrage of fuzzy guitar blastsout during a break in this fascinatingtrack.

For those Jayhawks fans out there,“Waiting For The World” sounds asif the Minnesota alt-countrydarlings suddenly reappeared inToronto. Beautiful, live-soundingacoustic folk-pop. And thoseharmonies are delicious.

What of the lyrics on this new

Blue Rodeo album? Well, a lot dealwith the ups and downs of relation-ships. Observations on life. Justcheck out the beautiful “In MyBones,” for instance. It’s a DanFogelberg-esque weeper that willmake you pause and reflect.Seriously. Cuddy and Keelor tend tonot get as specific as they used to.And that’s OK.

The peaceful, easy feeling of thefolksy country-pop gem “ArizonaDust” is one I found so appealing —dig that pedal steel and organ solo— I played it over and over.

There’s a ’70s-styled country-garage-rock vibe to “Never LookBack.” Next to it, “Sheba” has aDad-rock confidence that sounds alot like what Wilco is offering thesedays.

A pastoral dreaminess encapsu-lates “Million Miles,” a jangly,harmony-driven epic song thatbrings to mind Kansas or other

prog-rock outfits when they decideto do the acoustic rock thing andthen jam out.

“Venus Rising,” the closer on disctwo, is a deeper song musically. Itslowly builds and before long theguitars and Milchem’s drummingare hypnotically pulling you in.

While there’s nothing on herethat’s particularly groundbreaking ormatches a powerful political songlike, say, 1989s “God And Country,”Blue Rodeo have recorded adynamite album with “The ThingsWe Left Behind.”

The Mark Allen EverettPoetry Series has embarkedon its second year ofbringing acclaimed poets toNorman and showcasingNorman’s local talent.

Founded in 2008 byHonoree Fanonne Jeffersand Jonathan Stalling, theUniversity of Oklahomaseries highlights the art ofpoetry about twice amonth, said Jeanette Mish,association director of theprogram.

She said poets generallyperform 7 p.m. Tuesdays ateither The Jacobson Housefor Native Art Center orEllison Hall on OUcampus. From experimentalto plain to performance, theseries encompasses a varietyof poetic expressions andexperience.

“We bring in poets invarying stages of theircareers,” said Mish, whoadded that she’s never beento a boring readingthroughout the the series.

After each reading, areception and book signingis held.

Mish says that theaudience, which usuallyranges between 25 to 60people, is comprised of amix of community mem-bers and students. Mish,however, would like tocreate a larger interest forthe program in the Normancommunity.

“We’d like to see morepeople from the communitycome — that’s my No. 1goal,” she said. “We reallydon’t want to be just aboutthe campus.”

Keeping studentsinvolved is important to theprogram as well, Mish said.To do this, several of thepoets who are brought in toread in the series alsoattend poetry classroomsessions. A student readingis scheduled in May as well.

Although nationallywell-known poets bring theprogram clout, Mish saidgiving emerging poets achance to read gives theseries an edge.

“That makes us reallydifferent,” Mish said. “A lotof series don’t look in theirown backyard.”

Mish said the poetryseries actually is picking upwhere a now defunct series,called ContemporaryAuthors Series, ended yearsago.

“We’re very conscious ofthe fact that we have a greatlegacy here of poets wewanted to carry forward,”Mish said.

The program is spon-

sored by The EverettFamily Fund, The Okla-homa Humanities Council,The FOCAS LectureSeries, The University ofOklahoma College of Artsand Sciences, The Universi-ty of Oklahoma Honor’sCollege, World LiteratureToday, the SOUNDSOUT Poetry Series of theExpository WritingProgram and the Depart-ment of English.

“Adam” is a drama abouta man with Asperger’sSyndrome. At the start ofthe film, his father has justdied and Adam no longerhas any family left to keepan eye on him. While hehas a job as an electronicengineer making computerchips for toys, his realpassion is astronomy. Lifecontinues undisturbed untilthe day Beth moves in hisbuilding. As Beth andAdam get to know eachother, the sparks begin tofly and their romancegrows.

There are many funnymoments along the waywith Adam and Beth. UntilBeth learns of Adam’smedical condition she isunaware of the reason forhis social awkwardness. Thetruth finally comes outwhen Adam asks her aninappropriate sexualquestion, which makes herwant to bolt from hisapartment until he explains.

Perhaps my favoritemoment in the film is whenAdam dresses in his spacesuit, harnesses up and triesto wash Beth’s third floorwindows so she can see the

stars. However, she doesn’tknow Adam is going to dothis and she walks homewith a strange man floatingoutside her window, whichnearly scares her to death.

What is lovely about thisfilm is the delicate balancebetween the quirky,endearing aspects of Adam’spersonality along with hischallenges to fit into aworld that doesn’t under-stand him. Beth helps himdiscover new things abouthimself and challenges himto do things outside of hiscomfort zone.

Another aspect to thefilm is the challenge ofdating someone with thiscondition. Since Adamcannot interpret tone ofvoice or facial expressions,Beth learns to be very clearwith her thoughts andneeds. Perhaps the mostchallenging thing for Bethto endure is the question ofwhether Adam is evencapable of romantic love.Also, Beth’s father is notvery supportive of theirrelationship, which is ofgreat concern to her as adaddy’s girl.

British rising star HughDancy (“The Jane AustenBook Club”) stars as Adamand the lovely Australianactress Rose Byrne (“Troy”)stars as Beth. Other castmembers include AmyIrving (“Alias”), PeterGallagher (“Californica-tion”) and Frankie Faison(“Hannibal“).

Not surprisingly, “Adam”received two wins as well astwo nominations for variousfilm festival awards,including a win at Sundancewith the Alfred P. SloanFeature Film Prize. MaxMayer, writer and director ofthe film, can be creditedwith much of the film’ssuccess and notoriety. Thiswas his first full-lengthfeature to direct, but hissecond film to write.

The features on the DVDinclude deleted and alternatescenes, “Creating AdamBehind the Scenes,” a fulllength audio commentarywith writer/director MaxMayer and Producer LeslieUrdang, as well as “FOXMovie Channel PresentsLife After Film School withRose Byrne.”

For a lovely film, yousimply cannot go wrongwith “Adam.” You can findthis DVD in your localstore’s new releases section.
