I’ve seen several big-screen movies sofar this summer, but none of them cantop a four-year-old, low-budgetconspiracy gem called “Ten ’til Noon”(2006), the most unique, well-writtenthrill ride in years.

Our story takes place in Los Angeles,where at first we’re as confused as LarryTaylor (Rick D.Wasserman) is when hewakes up in his posh bedroom todiscover a well-dressed black man sittingin a chair at the foot of his bed, anequally chic redhead standing at his side.

Larry, a multi-millionaire softwaredesigner, has just returned from abusiness trip to London and is stillfeeling jet-lagged. It’s 11:50 a.m., 10minutes before his alarm is set to go off.There are intruders in his bedroom, whosomehow bypassed his elaborate securitysystem. His wife is gone. And the well-spoken black man, who introduceshimself as Mr. Jay (Alphonso Freeman),is holding a large gun with a silencer.

As the reality of the situation sets in,Larry’s confusion quickly turns to fearand then to outright terror when Mr. Jaysends his redheaded associate, the silentMs. Milch (Jenya Lano) downstairs totake care of some business. She’s settingthe stage, Mr. Jay explains — a robberygone bad, the homeowner shot dead inthe process.

“Why? Why?!” Larry screams. Mr.Jay will only say, “It’s business.” Larryoffers him money, but Mr. Jay is well-paid for his services and can’t be bought.Larry had better accept his coming fateand fast. Mr. Jay explains that Larry’swife Becky (Rayne Guest) is having anaffair, even as they speak, shacked up in ahotel room with an unemployed actor.He further shocks Larry with the newsthat his company is about to be seized ina hostile takeover. Larry is going to loseeverything.Why should he want to live?

At precisely noon, Larry meets hisfate, and we’re suddenly switched backto 11:50 a.m., only this time it’s to seethe same 10 minutes from Becky’s pointof view. It appears Mr. Jay’s informationabout Becky is true; she is mostdefinitely having an affair with abrainless hunk named Alan (JasonHamer). She tells Alan she hates herhusband, but she’d never considerdivorcing him, thanks to a strict pre-nup.“There are other ways to make himsuffer,” she tells Alan.

Before Alan can find out what ways,he receives a phone call and abruptly

leaves — at noon, when we switch backin time 10 minutes once again, todiscover a third viewpoint, and a bit of asurprise.

Our new characters, low-lifesurveillance “experts” Carter (DanielHagen) and Rush (Dylan Kussman) aretaping Becky and Alan from an adjacentroom, enjoying the video a little toomuch, when they’re interrupted by afateful phone call from their boss, thedreaded Mr. Duke (Thomas Kopache).

The story continues to unfold in 10-minute segments from several morecrucial points of view, brilliantlyrevealing the full level of the conspiracy,with plenty of shocks and one never-saw-it-coming twist about halfwaythrough.There’s a little bit of repetitionas we see each 10-minute tale but notmuch, thanks to Ken Osborne’s fabulousscript (his first).The cast of unknowns isfirst-rate, with special nods to AlphonsoFreeman (Morgan’s son), Rayne Guestand Thomas Kopache.

“Ten ’til Noon” is rated R forviolence, language and one sex scene,so our sensitive viewers should beware.Don’t be tempted to press “stop” whenthe credits start to roll — there’s apivotal scene that cuts in that you won’twant to miss. You can find “Ten ’tilNoon” at Hastings. Check it out.

Les CopelandDon’t Let The Devil InEarwig Music Company

Les Copeland heard aMississippi Fred McDowellrecord when he was a kidand was instantly hooked.

It didn’t matter that hisBritish Columbia home wasover 2,500 miles from theheart of Delta Blues, hereceived the spirit andlearned to play guitar.

This new album withguest appearances by David“Honeyboy” Edwards(guitar) and Michael Frank(blues harp) is a quirky gem.

Copeland’s vocals have afragile quality that lend agenuine pathos to songsabout “Long Lost Love” andbeing unable to punch one’sway out of a “Wet PaperBag.”

Best known as a bottle-neck guitar virtuoso, hisinstrumental tribute to anAmerican great on “RyCooder” and jazzy “GinsengGirl” are steel string clinics.“How’s That Drummer” isabout how guys are oftenplayfully cruel with eachother.

Honeyboy loves gettingfrequent digs in about apercussionist who swipedCopeland’s second wife.

“He’s living in my house/while I’m living in anapartment downtown,” ishow that drummer is.

Ominous vocals, stray catharmonica and slashingguitar on the title tracksound like Beelzebub is rightoutside insistently rappingon the door.

Don’t let the devil inside,but do invite Copeland’smusic into your ears.

Copeland’s record has straycat harmonica, slashing guitar

Trusted. Tested. Timeless.

By Aaron Wright Graypop editor

“People are passionateabout film,” Cassie Ketricksaid, before nibbling on achip with queso at a fast-foodMexican restaurant oncampus corner. “We just needto get them together in oneroom.”

This thought process iswhat led Ketrick, now chairof the organization, to be apart of the formation of theorganization CinematicArtists of Norman.

Started less than a yearago, in September 2009,CAN has already developed adecent membership and haslaunched themselves into thecommunity, partnering withother organizations toprovide film opportunities forNorman film lovers.

Ketrick said the groupformed after several filmstudents graduated and foundthemselves asking, “nowwhat?”

She said many missed thesocial aspect of meeting newpeople and exchanging ideasand tactics with each otherwhen it came to film. Also,many people wanted tocontinue making films andneeded a legitimate outsourceto plug in the passion.

Although it was graduatesthat kind of jumpstarted theorganization, Ketrick saidCAN is now made up ofpeople with a variety of ageand experience level. And it’snot just filmmakers in CAN

either. Making films requiresa plethora of skill-sets.

“If you can draw, we canuse you,” Ketrick said, notingthe importance of story-boards in the filmmakingprocess. She said the samething about make-up artistsand architects.

“We’re not about watchingmovies, we’re about makingthem,” she said.

To learn the necessaryskills, Ketrick said the groupholds a monthly meetingwhere guest speakers teachon subjects such as lighting,props, screenwriting, etc...Meetings are held in a varietyof locations in Norman in aneffort to showcase variousbusinesses and communityorganizations.

For hands-on experience,CAN has paired withSongWriter AssociationNorman to make musicvideos for their members. Sofar, they have completed twoand are working on theirthird video.They are alsoworking on editing a spotfrom the Norman MusicFestival. Future plans includelaunching their website,cinematicartistsofnorman.org, of which CAN is in thefinishing steps.They wouldalso like to apply for grants toprovide equipment for theirmembers. At this point, theirpriority is obtaining lightingand sound equipment.

CAN plans on participat-ing for their first time in the2nd Friday Circuit of Art inJuly with an outdoor

screening from 8:30-9:30p.m. at Dreamer Concepts,324 E. Main St.

To be a member of CAN,yearly dues for Norman ArtsCouncil membership are $30a year or $20 for students.The first meeting is free forthose who are interested inlearning more about theorganization. Ketrick saidthere is no time requirementfor members; peopleparticipate as much as theyare able. Members can signup for film crews as eachproject arises. If membersaren’t comfortable holding arole on their own yet, theycan shadow a person first tolearn the necessary skills.

“We want to make qualitywork,” Ketrick said.

Sister Hazel — “Release”(Croakin’ Poets) 2009

Back in 1997, when I first heard SisterHazel’s radio hit “All For You,” little did Iknow how rare roots-rock gems like thatwould become in the early years of the21st century. Back then, bands like BetterThan Ezra, Hootie and The Blowfish andthe powerhouse Matchbox 20 wererockin’ hitmakers with an accessiblesound. A year or so earlier, OklahomaCity’s very own jangly bar band Wakelandwas doing quite well in the wake of theiralbum “Magnetic.”

Fastforward a decade or so and thesounds on the radio are a little less soulful,a little more manufactured and in manycases, simply lacking the melodies thatSister Hazel and their rootsy brethrenwere offering in those waning days of the20th century.

Throughout it all, the Gainesville, Fla.-based Sister Hazel, led by singer KenBlock and guitarist Andrew Copeland,has pressed on.While they are no longeron the Universal record label, they havedone pretty well working as an independ-ent band, releasing albums like “Absolute-ly” and “Chasing Daylight.”This time,though, the album is simply titled“Release” and features songs written byeach member of the quintet.

Singer Ken Block offers us theinteresting “Walls and Cannonballs” andthe fair “See Me Beautiful” while bassistJett Beres brings out the very cool“Vacation Rain,” with its curious rhythmsand beats. Beres also impresses with the

final track, the Counting Crows-like“Ghost in the Crowd.”

The song “Better Way,” co-written bydrummer Mark Trojanowski, has a heavyinstrumental feel while lead guitarist RyanNewell teams up with Pat McGee andTonic’s Emerson Hart sends us thedynamite title track, as well as “Fade,” a90’s-styled rocker that harkens back toSister Hazel’s early days. Check out thesweet harmonies and Ringo Starr-esquepercussion on “I Believe In You,” pennedby Copeland.

Irresistible is the best way to describethe power pop of “Run for the Hills, ”another Copeland track. It’s also a songwith a message.While they don’t specifywho “they” are, the Hazels tell us that “ahard rain is coming down” and that the“fire and brimstone” won’t keep us warm.”

SH keeps things pretty positive. Andjust so everyone is up-to-date, SisterHazel has just released a new three-songEP called “Threeve,” which is available viatheir website www.sisterhazel.com and oniTunes. It’s exciting to get re-acquaintedwith Sister Hazel.The songs are upbeat,positive and full of musical muscle thatserves them well.

Grade — A

Sister Hazel’s new albumhas musical muscle

CD review

“Extract” is a new film fromwriter/director Mike Judge, whocreated one of the most iconicfilms of the 1990s – “OfficeSpace.”To contrast the world of“Office Space” in which nothingreally happens at work,“Extract” is set in an assemblyline plant where they bottleflavor extracts.

The main character, Joel(Jason Bateman from “ArrestedDevelopment”), is the ownerand operator of this plant who isgoing through a bit of a mid-lifecrisis.

Joel’s crisis is two-pronged innature. First, his relationshipwith his wife, Suzie (KristenWiig from “Saturday NightLive”), has become one of habitand is without sex. So, when theyoung and smoldering Cindy(Mila Kunis from “That 70sShow”) shows up to work as atemp in the factory, he can’t stopthinking about having an affair.

What he doesn’t know is thatCindy is also a pathological liar,thief and scam artist. Second,Joel is contemplating selling thefactory he built from the groundup but can’t move ahead withthe deal until an injuredemployee settles his lawsuitagainst the company.

As with many comedies,Joel’s best friend, Dean (BenAffleck), is the devil on hisshoulder. Dean is a bit of ahippy bartender who encour-ages Joel to cheat on his wife

and even helps to arrange a first-time, young, male gigolo toseduce her in an effort to makeJoel feel justified to cheat.

What neither of themcounted on was a gigolo whowould continue to bang Joel’swife long after their businesshad concluded.

Add to the mix a neighborwho just won’t stop talking(David Koechner), an out ofcontrol injury lawyer (GeneSimmons from the band KISS)and an ensemble cast in thefactory and hilarity ensues.

In fact, there is quite a bit ofcomedy that I just can’t describein print, as it is for adults and abit risqué. I feel I need to makea special point to talk aboutAffleck in this film.

For some time now, he hasbeen the butt of many jokes inHollywood since his string ofpoorly-performing films.

However, his talent as anactor has not diminished onebit. For the role of Dean,Affleck became hardlyrecognizable with a full beardand long, wavy hair. I hope thisrole helps turn his careeraround.

Also, the factory scenes in thefilm were shot in a working

water bottling factory.Theyeven hired a few of the workersthere to be characters in thefilm.

There is one special featureon this DVD called “MikeJudge's Secret Recipe Featurette— The Ingredients For AClassic Mike Judge Film.”Thisis a lengthy look to the filmwith interviews featuring Judgeand the cast. If you enjoyed“Office Space,” you definitelyhave to see “Extract” on DVD.

You will relate to at least oneof the characters personally, plusfeel like you know several of theother characters as reflections ofpeople from your own life. Forsome guaranteed laughs, checkout “Extract” in your localstore’s new releases section.Please send comments, ques-tions, and DVD recommenda-tions to Kelsey atDVDsOnParade@hotmail.com.
