I am a word man.I like the way words,
if used the right way, canpaint pictures sometimesbetter than any brush-stroke. They can recallmemories and leadthoughts and start and endwars.
As a print journalist, Itry to pay very close atten-tion to my diction and syn-tax — that is, the words Ichoose and the order inwhich I place them in asentence. There’s no inflec-tion in print, so my wordshave to stand on their own,without any of that little“umph” on a syllable thatmakes a sentence meansomething completelydifferent than it might if it
were just read.But in life, the way you
say a word is almost asimportant as the worditself.
The same is true inmusic, and I think artistsare getting better and bet-ter at it.
Everclear is my favoriteband largely because of
Art Alexakis’ lyrics.Nothing taps a nerve onmy heart-cords better than,“Y ou say they taught youhow to read and write,they taught you how tocount. I say they taught you
Two years ago,“Rayman Raving RabbidsTV Party” had comical,party mini-games withone stand out: the danc-ing game. In my review atthe time, I stated that thepublisher Ubisoft couldmake an entire gamearound matching dancemoves on-screen and sellit. Coincidentally, a yearlater “Just Dance” wasreleased for the NintendoWii and sold well. To thisday, it still makes the NPDGroup’s top twenty gamessold by volume in America.Luckily for dancing fans, ifyou needed a fresh songlist, “Just Dance 2” has hitthe shelves and delivers thesame fun and energy.
With a Wii controllerin hand and wrist-strapsecured, you select fromover forty songs that rangefrom rock, contempo-rary R&B, electronic andinternational hits. Afterchoosing, you are showna silhouette of a dancer
who performs the song.While they dance, you tryto mimic their moves andalign your right hand to hisor her on-screen position.Y ou earn points for havingyour motions match.
Even for the danc-ing impaired, it is easyto match the moves. “JustDance 2” does not mapfeet or body movements,
so getting just your armsinto action can still earnyou a decent score. Beingable to copy the full-motionvideo choreography wouldtake formal dance training,but “Just Dance 2” is forthe casual player. There isno way to lose. The worstis that you will receive amediocre score.
Songs are rated ontheir energy and theirtechnique. A “technical”song will have some pre-cise movements whereasa high “energy” song withhave lots of successivemovements. There are alsoa few duet dances wheretwo dancers can performtogether, but most songsare built for the single play-er or group trying to matchthe solitary dancer. Mostimportantly for any party,there is a nonstop continu-ous mix where songs willauto-play all night.
While containingmore songs than its pre-decessor, “Just Dance 2”boasts a downloadable
library including KatyPerry’s “Firework” andM.A.R.R.S.’s “Pump UpThe Volume.” With moresongs promised in thefuture, Wii owners canspend 300 Wii points(three dollars) to get a newsong. Due to the hugesuccess of “Just Dance,” Iguess that the online storewill grow and prove veryprofitable for Ubisoft.
While “Just Dance 2”was an easy pick-up-and-play game, my biggestcomplaint is in the workoutmode called Just Sweat.Though I was excited tosee the fitness feature withhigh-energy dancing, theomission of a nonstopmode is a real disappoint-ment. After trying a shortwork out, my heart ratekept dropping while Iselected a new song and
waited for the screens toload.
Complaints aside,“Just Dance 2” is just asmuch fun as “Just Dance.”The version you buy willdepend on which song listyou like the best.
My opinion? Get bothfor your next party.
While some of the
new party and competi-tion modes are a blast toplay, most gamers willstick to the main dancingmode – and they will notbe sorry. “Just Dance” and“Just Dance 2” are the bestdancing games on the Wii.I look forward to their “JustDance Kids” coming outthis November.

how to buy and sell yourown body by the pound.”
But lately things havebeen streaming out of mycar speakers, little wordsor single syllables that thevocalist hangs on to anddrags out and mutilatesuntil it’s not just a wordany more but an entire lifeof pain or joy or sadnessbouncing around inside
my car in pure, sonicemotion.
Ida Maria’s the queenat this. “O h, my god” isreally a dull little phrase,softened by all the teeny-boppers typing “O MG”into their cell phones overthe pizza flavor in theirhigh school cafeterias.But when Ida sings it onthe song of that title, it’sdrawn out and pulled fromthe bottom of her lungs
and splattered all over theplace with so much drip-ping angst that you can’thelp but slip and fall intoher pain.
“O h ... my ... God, didyou think it’s all for fun?”
Tears in my eyes. Everytime.
There are others. KingsOf Leon, for example,brings up a simple “Hey”for a few measures beforelanding into the chorus
of their “Sex on Fire.” Ameaningless article thatgets the heart pumping afew BPM’s faster.
Everclear is not withoutthis talent, by the way. See“The Twistinside,” off theiralbum “Sparkle & Fade.”
O ther artists have some-how wrapped the knackfor poetic diction with aBuddhist sense for timingand inflection and madethe perfect word-song.
Manchester O rchestra, forexample, penned a mas-terpiece when they wrote,“I found a note in mygrandfather’s coat, when Iread it out loud I got cold.‘Cause he said, ‘I’m notcomplaining, I’m a man,I’m a lost one, you see.’”
Those words could’vestood alone and knockeda rattling emotionalresponse around my head,but then they have this hurt,
tearful screeching refrainafterward, “You meaneverything to nothing.”Perfect words, perfectlydelivered.
We all need to pay alittle bit more attention towhat we say, and how wesay it.

CHRISTY LEMIRE
AP Movie Critic
LOS ANGELES — ClintEastwood selected hisfive favorite movies fromthe dozens he’s directed.Because we’re feeling socharitable, we let him picksix, listed below alphabeti-cally along with his com-ments and insights:
— “Bird” (1988),Eastwood’s biopic on jazzlegend Charlie Parker:It was a nice story aboutsomeone whose musician-ship I admired so greatly.It was a good script onthe analysis of the self-destructiveness of person-ality: people who insiston sinking into the abyss.Success, being idolized byother musicians — none ofit was enough.
— “Letters From IwoJima” (2006), one oftwo World War II filmsEastwood released thatyear: I was proud of
“Letters from Iwo Jima.”I got the idea of doing itwhile doing “Flags of OurFathers,” which is aboutthe American invasionof the island. But the filmpointed out what it musthave been like to havebeen one of the defend-ers of the island — to havebeen there, and been toldnot to plan on returninghome. What a difficultrequest to make of people.Also, the Japanese soldierswere facing certain annihi-lation. They never gave uphope. A lot of them wouldhave loved to have beenout of the war and home,just like soldiers from anynation.
— “Million DollarBaby” (2004), starringHilary Swank as a boxerand Eastwood as her reluc-tant trainer: It appealedto me because it was astory regarding family — asearch for the daughter henever had a relationship
with, and the search for thefather that was no longerthere for her. They wereboth sort of reticent, andended up putting them-selves through the mostemotional test possible,ending with her desire tobe euthanized.
— “Mystic River”(2003), about childhoodfriends reunited by trag-edy in an insular part ofBoston: I liked the bookand the screenplay byBrian Helgeland. The waysometimes fate deals abad hand, and it just keepsgetting worse and worse,and there is nothing any-one can do. No amount ofsane advice can stop thetrain.
— “The Outlaw JoseyWales” (1976), starringEastwood as a Missourifarmer out for revengeafter the Civil War: It wasthe first Western I haddone in some time sincethe 1960s Leone mov-
ies. It came out in the ‘70swhen the country wasrestless about Vietnam.It addressed the divisive-ness of war, and how itcan tear at heart and soul.But it also dealt with therejuvenation of a cynic,re-instilling his life with pur-pose, and with a surrogatefamily.
— “Unforgiven” (1992),
with Eastwood as a retiredgunslinger taking onone last job: I loved the“Unforgiven” script. Youhad to get a ways into itbefore you knew who wasthe protagonist and whowas the antagonist. Eventhe villains, with the excep-tions of the renegade cow-boys, had good points totheir character, and had
dreams. Little Bill (playedby Gene Hackman) justwanted a peaceful life. Hebelieved he was doing theright thing. The film dealtwith issues — gun control,and the struggles peoplehave “within.” The herowent against instinct. It wasa very rich story, involvingloyalty to friends, familyand rationalizing deeds.

ANDY FITZPATRICK
The Enquirer
A major operation is being staged inBattle Creek, concentrating the efforts ofan army of people.
The Battle Creek S ymphonyOrchestra will open for its 112th seasonS aturday, but only after a legion of musi-cians, administrators, volunteers andothers worked for months on making ithappen.
One cog in the machine is symphonyoperations manager Megan MacLeod.Just two months into her post, the musi-cian-turned-administrator is goingthrough the trials of the final week beforethe season opener.
“I’m kind of in my biggest week ofsurprise now as the concert’s comingand all these crises are arising,” she saidMonday, although she said most thingswere going according to plan.
That plan actually was initiatedin March. After Music Director AnneHarrigan has selected the music for theseason, MacLeod gets to work keepingthe musicians prepared, and even hiringnew players.
“We have our core members whoare contracted and they play every con-cert,” MacLeod said. Other musiciansthat may be needed for certain piecesare then found; MacLeod said she worksfrom a list of top players in the area.
A librarian then finds the musicand distributes it to the players whileMacLeod works to meet their needs,such as arranging hotel rooms and trav-el plans.
“We’ve got players that come fromChicago, northern Michigan, AnnArbor, Lansing, Indiana, Traverse City;they come from all over,” she said.
The people are only part of the equa-tion; equipment elements like the players’chairs and stands, the music shell andbox office equipment have to be broughtin.
For a show like “Dvorak’s NewWorld,” the season opener, more tech-nology is needed.
As the symphony plays, photographsby Michael Sa mple of landscapes andanimals from national parks will show onlarge screens.
For Harrigan, that meant a lot of
preparation, not only whensifting through about 400photos and matching them tomusic, but writing a script forthe parts of the show wherethe audience will be treatedto the origins of Dvorak’s“S ymphony for the NewWorld.”
“People who are againstthis sort of thing and againstusing visuals and againstgetting involved in all of this,they say the music speaks foritself,” Harrigan said.
“It speaks more deeply andmore forcefully if you under-stand the composer’s intentionsand the history behind it,” shesaid.
To get that story out and provide theaudience with a memorable experience,Music Center staff, caterers, Battle CreekPublic S chool staff, sound engineers,lighting technicians and more cometogether for a single show.
Then it all has to be done again,
except with new twists, such as what willhave to be in place for the high-flying“Cirque de la S ymphonie” in Februaryand “S imply S inatra” in April.
Those are just two of the five showslined up for this season by Harrigan,whose job it is to set the schedule.
“We cater to our standard audi-ences that love the symphonic stuff, but
we’ve got a lot of people thatlove the different styles,” shesaid.
Harrigan said larger cities likeDetroit and Chicago will havesegregated symphony fans.
“The people who will goto see the Beethovens won’tgo to see S inatra,” she said.“Audiences here, they kind of likethe variety.”
Maintaining that varietyhas to be done with only threerehearsals with the full symphonyper show, including once on the
day of the performance.It’s something that MacLeod still
marvels at, given the spread-outlocations of the musicians.
“To be able to bring all these peopleand create such a beautiful masterpiecetogether, I think is really sweet,” she said.

The Enquirer
MARSHALL – In Februaryof 1940, Walt Disney’s
“Pinocchio” debuted, Americahad just over a year before thePearl Harbor attack would hap-pen and journalist Ted Koppelwas born.
In Marshall, however, thecitizens were busy making amovie, which has been recent-ly rediscovered and is nowready to be shown at a publicpremiere 8 p.m. Saturday inthe Marshall Middle SchoolAuditorium.
It was a revelation toMarshall resident andMarshall Historical Societymember Bob Lowman,who found a stack of16mm film canisters inthe basement of theGrand Army of theRepublic Hall in July2008.
“I took them outof the container,”Lowman said.“They were num-bered, but theywere all mixedup.”
HadLowmanseen thefirst reel, hemight havefound thetitle cardbearing“We’reIn theMovies– 1940.”However,he wasable tosecurea projec-
tor and aglimpse of
Marshall fromlong ago was
revealed to him.Scenes from busi-
nesses and schoolsaround the town, in both
color and black and white,played out silently.
Lowman said he first suspect-ed the film was shot between1935 and 1945 because ofthe style of cars on MichiganAvenue; a shot from an EatonCorporation office with a 1940calendar on the wall confirmedthe year.
“I took a legal pad and wentthrough each one and wrotedown the scenes; I started outwith the very first one, and thatwas easy to do,” Lowman said.“Once I got them in the rightorder, I sent it to this company inPittsburgh.”
There, the film was cleaned,restored, burned onto a DVDand returned to Lowman.
“We’re In the Movies– 1940” was a film projectspearheaded by the organi-zation that was known at thetime as the Junior Chamberof Commerce. The John B.Rogers Producing Companyof Fostoria, Ohio, came toMarshall for four days and shota film showcasing the 30 local
businesses that sponsored theproject.
The film was silent, Lowmantheorized, because of theextra cost of including sound.Background muisc has beenadded to the DVD.
Lowman thought the plot ofthe movie was a standard onefor the company – a movie starcomes to Small Town, U.S.A.,to choose a “movie queen”and take her to a lucrativeHollywood career – but it wasthe use of all-local actors andviews of Marshall gone by thatpiqued his historical interest.
Those were also the rea-sons Keith Kehlbeck, formerpresident of the Society‘s Boardof Directors, volunteered tohelp Lowman with the project;Jennifer Rupp also volunteered.Rupp is a former ExecutiveDirector of the Society.
“It must have been quite anevent,” Kehlbeck said. “Bobwas looking at some of thenewspaper coverage on thisand it was a big deal.”
The film opens with the story
of Mary and Joe,a young couplein love and on thehunt for their firsthome.
After Marysees an adver-tisement on thefictional star Gary Owenscoming to town to select agirl to become a Hollywoodactress, Joe attempts to put suchthoughts out of her head andget her to focus on the upcom-ing marriage and the buildingof their dream home.
What happens in the end, ofcourse, will be revealed at thepremiere.
The Junior Chamber andwhat was then known as theMarshall Evening Chronicleorganized a Movie Queen con-test, allowing residents to vote forwho would be Marshall’s “glam-our girl.”
What originally servedas a fundraiser for the JuniorChamber will come full circleand become a promotionagain, this time for the Historical
Society’s maintenance and refur-bishment of Marshall’s greenand gold historic markers.
“We have 43 historical mark-ers; only the cities of Detroit andLansing have more,” Lowmansaid.
He said the cost of a brand-new marker is $2,000. To sendone off for sandblasting andrepainting is about $750.
“It’s something the histori-cal society has borne the costof over the years, but as it getsmore expensive, we needed todo something to help underwritethat in the future to make surethose are maintained,” Kehlbecksaid. “This seemed like a goodway to do that.”
