As a playwright, PearlCleage eventually has tojoin the audience, to sitback and watch her storycome to life on a stage.

It’s not always easy.With the Atlanta resi-

“You have a lot ofinput, a lot of collabora-tive time with everybodyup until the moment thatthey have to actually stepon stage and do theshow,” Cleage said. “Atthat point as the play-wright you have to let itgo. You have to trustthem to do all the thingsyou saw in rehearsal thatwere wonderful.”

The award-winningplaywright and New YorkTimes best-selling authorwas in the audienceWednesday as “TheNacirema Society” offi-cially opened in Atlanta.The production is a jointcollaboration betweenthe Alliance Theatre andthe Alabama ShakespeareFestival and made itsworld premiere in Alaba-ma before the cast and settraveled east.

Cleage’s play is set inMontgomery in 1964, anactive period in the CivilRights Movement. Thefamily that is the focus ofthe play, however, ismore concerned with theannual cotillion than

what’s going on in soci-ety.

sea in her interpretation of “Come SailAway” performed by the rock band Styx— to abstract — Aviva Stern used deepjewel tones in purple, blue, red and orangeto convey the sounds of Grammy Award-

winning musician Yo-Yo Ma performing“Suite for Cello.”

Donna Biggee, a res-ident artist at TanneryRow, asked her nephewto pose for a pieceinspired by the OwlCity song “Fireflies”that depicts the child setagainst a backdrop ofglowing fireflies in anight sky. Another resi-dent artist, James Klip-pel, captured an iconic

movie scene on canvas — Gene Kellydancing and singing in a downpour — inhis interpretation of the film’s title song“Singin’ in the Rain.”

BY MICHAEL CLARKMovie Critic

Although she has wontwo Academy Awards andis considered one of theindustry’s top-tier actress-es, Hilary Swank has adismal batting averagewhen it comes to choos-ing material. Half of themovies she’s made in thelast decade have beenlame horror flicks or sub-par action adventures, andeven when she does pickseemingly winning dra-mas (“Freedom Writers,”“The Black Dahlia,”“Amelia”), they tend to bepoorly executed and all ofthem lose money at thebox office.

Despite its impressivecast, Oscar aspirationsand heavy-handed, spiri-tual uplift theme, “Con-viction” mostly plays outlike a generic and tooth-less made-for-TV film

that seems destined tobecome yet another com-mercial and critical fail-ure for Swank.

Like Swank’s non-fic-tional Oscar-winningroles in “Boys Don’t Cry”and “Million DollarBaby,” her part of BettyAnne Waters here mirrors

her own real-life under-privileged upbringing.The daughter of a woman

who had nine childrenfathered by seven men,Betty’s only fond child-

hood memories were thetimes spent with her anti-authority, headstrongolder brother Kenny (SamRockwell).

Constantly getting intotrouble with the law,Betty and Kenny were theonly family either of themreally had and the bondthey forged was unbreak-able. After Kenny wasfound guilty of a particu-larly grizzly 1983 murder,high school dropout Betty

secured her GED, whichwas followed by bache-lor’s and law degrees andthe goal of getting herbrother’s lifetime sen-tence overturned.

It’s impossible to watcha story like this and notbe moved to some degreeand for the first hourdirector Tony Goldwynand screenwriter PamelaGray methodically spin

their captivating yarn.Goldwyn employs an out-of-sequence presentationthat’s not too fussy andthe frequent flashbacksshowing Betty and Kennyas children provide somemuch-welcomed backstory and visual contrast.

At the halfway point,“Conviction” goes frombeing a thoughtful andengrossing mystery into arote and surprisinglylethargic police procedur-al/courtroom drama.Scenes taking place inprison between Swankand Rockwell come offeither static and stilted orhistrionic and overdone.The movie slows down toa veritable crawl whenev-er Betty attempts tosecure years-old mis-placed evidence and hermany wild-goose chasesserve no purpose otherthan to kill time.

The only things pre-venting the movie fromgoing totally off the railsare the three exceptionalfemale supporting perfor-mances. Minnie Driverco-stars as Betty’s pluckylawyer friend who keepsher grounded andfocused. With help fromsome severely gnarledprosthetic teeth, JulietteLewis steals scenes as aKenny’s highly suspect,white trash former lover.

With brief appearances atthe beginning and end,Melissa Leo plays a pos-sibly corrupt cop with amajor ax to grind and sheis superbly hateful.

There’s a lot of oftenunneeded minutiacrammed into Goldwyn’s106-minute film, but it iswhat he doesn’t includein the closing epiloguethat stands out the most.

In what can rightfully bedescribed as a feel-good-seeking omission, Gold-wyn fails to note a keyevent that happened toone of the Waters siblingsafter the 2001 retrial.Showing it would havesurely brought the audi-ence down, yet leaving itout also prevents themfrom knowing the fullstory.

• Nowhere Boy (R) The bestyet of the many pre-BeatlesJohn Lennon bio-flicks, thisartsy yet warm drama fromdirector Samantha Taylor-Wood hits on almost all cylin-ders and features two Oscar-caliber performances fromAnne-Marie Duff and KristenScott-Thomas. 31⁄2 stars —Michael Clark

• RED (PG-13) The bestmovie thus far of 2010 starsBruce Willis, Morgan Free-man, Helen Mirren and JohnMalkovich as retired C.I.A.agents who outfox their formeremployer while uncovering atouchy government conspira-cy. It’s sly, smart, sexy, irrever-ent and fun. 4 stars — MC

• You Will Meet a Tall DarkStranger (R) Woody Allen istreading water again in thisbeen-there, done-that con-coction of middle-agedromantic angst with a superbcast that makes Allen’s infre-quently inspired comic one-liners come off far funnierthan they actually are. 21⁄2stars — MC

• Life as We Know It (PG-13)Set and filmed on location inAtlanta’s Virginia Highlanddistrict, this romantic comedystarring Katherine Heigl andJosh Duhamel contains all ofthe genre’s clichés yet is alsoable to work in thoughtful sub-text concerning orphanedchildren. 3 stars — MC

• Secretariat (PG-13) Thisby-the-numbers sports upliftdrama about the ’70s racehorse is woefully devoid ofactual sports action and topheavy with syrupy andmaudlin melodrama. Saveyour money and rent the simi-lar and far superior “Seabis-cuit” instead. 2 stars — MC

• Waiting for “Superman”(PG) This latest mixed-bagdocumentary from DavisGuggenheim (“An Inconve-nient Truth”) puts the spotlighton America’s pathetic publicschool systems and the bull-headed, intractable teacher’sunions that are making thesituation even worse. 21⁄2 stars— MC • The Social Network (PG-

13) Because of its over-whelming legalese/geek-heavy, rapid-fire dialogue,this dramatic thriller aboutthe dubious founding ofFacebook is far from directorDavid Fincher’s best effort,yet it is still a riveting, essen-tial and mesmerizing watch.3 stars — MC

• Freakonomics (PG-13)Proof-positive that not everybest-selling book is an idealcandidate for big-screenadaptation, the borderlinetongue-in-cheek documentary

“Freakonomics” — with its sixdirectors — applies theoriesof economics to social issueswith wildly erratic results. 11⁄2stars — MC

• Let Me In (R) Atlanta nativeChloe Moretz thoroughlyastounds in this English lan-guage remake of the Swedish“Let the Right One In.” Asnote-perfect as the original,Matt Reeves’ film proves thatit is possible to make a com-mercially-viable, high-qualityteen vampire flick. 4 stars —MC

BY MICHAEL CLARKMovie Critic

While “Hereafter”might not be the worstmovie ever directed byClint Eastwood (thatwould probably be “TheRookie”), it is by far hisleast satisfying. At 80years old, the multi Oscar-winning Eastwood can dowhatever he wants, and inthe very slightest way, hedeserves a modicum ofcredit for trying some-thing different with“Hereafter.” Notice theoperative word here is“different” not “new.”

Making a film about

communicating with deadpeople and the possibilityof an afterlife may be anew experience for East-wood, but it’s also amovie we’ve already seenhundreds of times before.He brings absolutely noth-ing new to the table andoften comes off lookinglike an uninspired M.Night Shyamalan wanna-be. The final productbecomes all the more dis-appointing in the wake ofits gripping, slam-dunkstart.

Not referencing it byname, the opening scenerecreates the 2004 IndianOcean tsunami, and it isbreathtaking. At the endof a long getaway withher married-to-someone-else boss, the popularFrench broadcaster Marie(Cecile de France) is

swept away by the mon-ster wave, becomesunconscious and despitethe efforts of two rescuerspasses away. Or so itwould seem.

It’s 10 minutes in andthe narrative has reachedits peak. The point ofview shows Marie tunnel-ing through the darknesstoward a fuzzy warm lightwhere undistinguishablesilhouettes lumber aboutlike zombies. Then intriple time, the quick oth-erworldly trip is reversed,Marie coughs up theocean from her lungs andis back among the living.

Cut to San Franciscowhere George (MattDamon) — against hisbetter judgment — does afavor for his shameless

DISC SPOTLIGHT

MICHAEL CLARK

Moulin Rouge! (Blu-ray) (PG-13)Discs:Movie:

Nominated for eight AcademyAwards including Best Picture, Aus-tralian filmmaker Baz Luhrmann’s“Moulin Rouge!” singlehandedlyrevived the movie musical and wonover millions who generally deplorethe genre. Using the early 20th-centuryartistic renaissance in Paris as a spring-board, Lurhmann’s tragic love storybetween a showgirl (Nicole Kidman)and a writer (Ewan McGregor) fea-tured an eclectic mix of modern popstandards and the most dazzling chore-ography since the heyday of BusbyBerkeley.

Technical specs: aspect ratio:Widescreen (2.40:1/1080p), audio: Eng-lish (5.1 DTS HD, 5.1 Descriptive),French, Portuguese and Spanish (Dolby5.1), subtitles: English SDH, Portugueseand Spanish.

Special features include:• Picture-in-picture option with multi-

ple commentary• Eight featurettes• Uncut vault footage including alter-

nate opening and Kidman vocal test• BD Live Lookup powered by IMDb(Fox, $34.99)

★★★★ ★★★★older brother Billy (theperfectly cast Jay Mohr).One of Billy’s clients(Richard Kind) wants tocommunicate with hisdeceased wife. After abrief clasping of handswith the client, Georgelistens to the wife andtells her widower detailsonly he could know.

Once a prominent psy-chic, George got of outthe business due to themental toll it took on himand now operates a fork-lift at a warehouse. Fromwhat we’re shown, anytime George touchessomeone he sees theirpast, which makes anykind of normal life impos-sible. After much beatingaround the bush, Georgemakes this point quiteclear to a possible new

love interest (Bryce DallasHoward, overacting) butshe still wants to see himin action. He reluctantlyobliges, she freaks out andwe never see her again.

Back in Europe —England to be exact —the surviving pre-teen sonof an alcoholic singlemother can’t quite wraphis ahead around therecent sudden death of histwin brother. The livingbrother will do anythingto “talk” to the dead one,and — in the movie’sonly lighthearted passage— he pays a series ofscam-artist mediums atidy sum to tell him whathe doesn’t really want tohear.

Eastwood and screen-writer Peter Morgan (“TheQueen,” “Frost/Nixon”)spend well more than 90minutes with their hokum-

heavy triptych where noth-ing interesting ever takesplace. For a while the fre-quent moving about oflocations gives us thepromise actual substancewill be coming soon, butit’s all just fussy, very bor-ing subterfuge.

The final scenes deliverthe inevitable conjoiningof the three principals andit couldn’t be more forcedor awkward. During thistime, George exhibitsanother psychic super-power that kills whateverminor legitimacy themovie had barely estab-lished and it is beyondclunky. To top it all off,the movie doesn’t end butrather just stops, provid-ing next to no closure. Asfrustrating as it is, it fits;an inconclusive wrap-upto a rambling, inconclu-sive tale. (Warner Bros.)

EDITOR’S NOTE —Film Fans features localresidents reviewing thefilm of the week: “RED.”Want to be a Film Fan?E-mail [email protected].

“RED” (RetiredExtremely Dangerous) is“Bad A$$” forgrownups. If you lovedthat movie you’ll fullyenjoy this special — vio-lent but comical andtwistedly romantic —movie.

“Be careful!” reverber-ates in my mind afterwatching the movie.Watch out when Bruce

Willis asks where JohnMalkovich got some tor-

tureimple-ments(justshownnot used)and heblurts,“At HD!”

Iloved

this action-packedmovie as I totallyignored the violence ofit all. “Mission Impossi-ble” meets “Get Smart”on its way to an AARPbig-brother-ish futurewhile traveling crosscountry to unravel the

story. Highly recom-mended.

— Alfred Richner,Duluth

I haven’t had thismuch fun at a spy movie

in a longtime.Insteadof slap-stickcomedyor bath-roomjokes, thehumorrelied on

innuendo and subtle situ-ational set-ups, whichwere quite effective in

eliciting laughter fromthe audience. I enjoyedwatching a cast of olderactors that weren’t por-trayed as stereotypicalcaricatures (with the pos-sible exception of JohnMalkovich’s character).

The film contained abelievable plot, imagina-tive and colorful settingsand postcard transitions,and punchy, witty andfresh dialogue — an all-around great movie. Theviolence, however, was abit much, which explainsmy less than perfect rat-ing.

I don’t think kidswould appreciate thisfilm; it’s best left to an

adult audience.— Jenni McKinney,

Buford

I admit the premise of“RED” does sound a lit-

tle silly:RetiredExtreme-ly Dan-gerous(transla-tion: old)spiesbeinghunted

down and proving to besurprisingly unstoppable.But, the truth is, “RED”isn’t corny and the

premise works. It’s theright mix of action andcomedy, along with agood story and acting.

Bruce Willis plays thelevel-headed tough guybut without the “DieHard” feeling. HelenMirren is a believablespy who still knows howto handle a gun. JohnMalkovich, well, is justthe right amount ofcrazy. The only downside is the little screentime given to MorganFreeman.

Overall I fully enjoyed“RED” and found it tobe fun and entertaining.
