There are few places more desolateand unforgiving than Afghanistan.There is little in the way of the softWestern world here; to live inAfghanistan, you have to be tough.“Ifeel like every time we come to thiscountry it tries to spit us back out,”Major Ben Keynes says at the beginningof “The Objective” (2008).Too bad hedoesn’t take the hint

A veteran CIA man, Keynes(newcomer Jonas Ball) worked inAfghanistan 10 years earlier.When heleft, he vowed never to return.That wasbefore the 9/11 attacks two months ago,though. For Keynes, nothing comesbefore country. If he has to serve inAfghanistan to protect the U.S., thenhe’ll do it without complaint.The stakesare pretty high, after all. Nuclear, in fact.

Shortly after the September attacks, asatellite spotted a radioactive heat sourcedeep in the Afghan mountains. Fearingit’s a weapon, the company sends Keynesin to find out what’s going on. He can’tgo alone; the Taliban are all over theplace. So Keynes is assigned SpecialForces #392, a veteran six-man unitheaded by CO Wally Hamer (MatthewR. Anderson) as support.

Keynes tells the men that their ordersare to find Mohammed Aban, apowerful cleric whose signed endorse-ment of the U.S. involvement in the warwould encourage civilians to support theU.S. invasion. It’s a lame cover story andthe guys in #392 don’t buy it, but they’renot allowed to question orders, onlyfollow them.

Actually, Keynes did tell a little of thetruth.They are after Mohammed Aban,but it’s not to sign anything. Aban is theCIA’s contact in the region. In his lastreport, he sounded like a lunatic,confirming that there’s something big,nasty and very strange in the mountains.And then, nothing. Aban vanished, andwith him any more information aboutthe mysterious object.

Keynes has a lead on Aban’s where-abouts, but by the time they get therethe loony cleric has high-tailed it for theSacred Mountains, a brutal range whereno sane Afghani would consider going.Keynes and the men have no choice butto follow Aban, though.

The journey is cursed from the start.Radios and compasses don’t work.There

are noises in the night, strange lights thatappear and then abruptly go away.Visions. Hallucinations.The Americansscoff at even the idea of a curse, but theirlocal guide Abdul (Chems-EddineSidoune) assures them that curses arereal in the Sacred Mountains.This is abad place.They shouldn’t be here.

The dangers mean nothing toKeynes. He has only one objective, andit isn’t to save his skin.The objective liessomewhere out there in the mountainsand Keynes must find it no matter whatthe cost.

When you don’t have to worry aboutoverpaid actors and elaborate sets, you canmake a $4 million budget go a long way.Director Daniel Myrick (one of thecreative forces behind “The Blair WitchProject”) has created a terrific littlewar/horror/sci-fi movie with outstandingperformances from a cast of completeunknowns. Jonas Ball makes a perfectCIA creep,and the members of #392 aresome of the most believable soldiers I’veever seen onscreen.The spooky musicalscore (from Kays Al-Atrakchi) helps tokeep the tension high and while the plotseems a bit like “Alien,”“The Objective”definitely puts a fresh spin on it.

You can find “The Objective”(unrated but still disturbing) at Hastingsin New Releases. Check it out!

Gary Allan“Get Off On The Pain”MCA Nashville

Musically, there’s a lot going on Gary Allan’s eighth studiorelease, “Get Off On the Pain,” produced by Allan, MarkWright and Greg Droman, at least on the opening trackanyway.

From the distinct tambourine and bottom-heavy bassguitar to the subtle banjo and steady guitar work on theopening track, “Get Off On The Pain,” Allan aggressively isadmitting that since he identifies with underdogs and “lostcauses,”that he really just likes the pain of being a scrapper.

A bit overdone with the orchestration, Allan comes acrossa bit heavy-handed on “I Think I’ve Had Enough.” Yeah, thetrademark Allan vocal style is intact, but this track is over thetop production-wise.

Taking a thematic cue from Garth Brooks’ “She’s GonnaMake It,” Allan’s recent single, “Today” addresses a man fullof regrets as he tries to accept the fact that his woman hasfinally left him and is doing all right without him.

Allan tries to make things right with the women in his life.Sure, he has that dark side but deep down he’s a loving guy,perhaps a little misunderstood …

“Scarecrows and devils are the only thing out this late /and what that says about me, it’s probably true,” Allan beginson the quietly building “Along The Way.”

Things get interesting on “That Ain’t Gonna Fly,” co-written by Nashville background vocalist Wes Hightower,with its driving guitars, retro organ and effective steel guitar,

this is the modern California country one expects Gary Allanto record. A high point, for sure.

Again, heavy production — primarily syrupy strings —taints an otherwise solid song — “Kiss Me When I’mDown.”

Midway through “Get Off On The Pain” you find yourselfpining for the Gary Allan sound of yore — that neo-traditional, smoky, twangy style that made him famous. No“Smoke Rings In The Dark.” No “Man To Man.” No “LifeAin’t Always Beautiful.” And if you want a solid pop-countrysong like “Songs About Rain” or “Nothin’ On But theRadio,” you won’t find it here.

I think he got the closest to his original sound on this newalbum with the subtly cool “We Fly By Night,” which Allanco-wrote. It has a dreamy, “Twin Peaks”-y, rockabilly balladvibe that works well with Allan’s vocals.

And anyone familiar with Allan’s story and the loss of hiswife to suicide, try to listen to “No Regrets” without tearingup just a little.This is the strongest and most heartfelt songon “Get Off On The Pain,” bar none.

While this album is a mixed bag, Gary Allan is still anamazing country musician and singer. However, one getsthe impression he isn’t stretching himself like he should. It’sa comfortable place to be — extremely successful, popularamong traditionalists, hipsters and WalMart shoppers alike.Still, is just coasting along the way to go? With a talent like

Gary’s I should say no.For those who get the “Deluxe Edition” of “Get Off On

The Pain,” there are four additional songs — the studiorecording “Long Summer Days” and live versions of “RightWhere I Need To Be,” “Best I Ever Had” and “WatchingAirplanes.”

Gary Allan will perform 8 p.m. Saturday at RiverwindCasino.Tickets are $52 for premium, $57 for VIP and $62for platinum. For more information, go online to www.riverwind.com.

The Stimulus PackageRhymesayersEntertainment

Philadelphia rapper Freeway named this newest LP inhonor of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Actsigned into law by President Obama. Seattle producer JakeOne fills the role of the Commander in Chief ’s RahmEmanuel.

The stimulus here is a big shot of hip hop poetry thatdoesn’t flinch in Freeway’s scrutiny of the world around him.He’s learned the centuries old lesson that the pen truly ismightier than the sword. English language skills can pay thebills and Freeway flaunts them. “We are eating, getting

money off a words man/ came a long way from flipping birdsman,” is wisdom from “Follow My Moves.”

The grind of making ends meet in a recession economyruns throughout the album’s 15 songs. Homage to carpenterpops with a sore back from hard honest work bumps againstmemories of his youth sweeping up hair in a barbershop.Naturally, hustling hemp in the ’hood rears its hoary head.One incredibly poignant rhyme is a montage of concerns andglimpses into the lives of Freeway’s peeps via fan mail.Musicality miraculously blends lounge and nods to BurtBacharach and Kanye West with soaring strings, good femalebackup vocals and requisite thump.The Brent Rollins DesignExplosion! created the disc’s loud album package. It looks likea wallet with a “Handle Your Business” credit card and ispacked with oversize lyric sheets that are legal tender replicasbut the dead presidents are Freeway and Jake One.Thewhole package has me stimulated visually and aurally.

Jousting, weddings,knighting and more. ReavesPark in Norman will cometo life with the merriment ofmedieval times beginningnext weekend.

In its 34th year, theMedieval Fair will run 10a.m. to 7 p.m. daily March26-28. Six stages will hostperformers from variousparts of the country whospecialize in bringing thistime period to life.

“We have quite a few newperformers this year,” saidLinda Linn, coordinator ofthe Medieval Fair.

Wolgemut, one of thosenew performers, Linndescribed as “high energy.”The group focuses on theGerman medieval period, achange since most of thecostumes and the performersfrom the past have stemmedfrom western Europeanmedieval culture.

Rose Rock Consort, ahusband-and-wife duo fromShawnee who entertain withmedieval instruments, alsoare new on this year’sschedule.

New food vendors includea homemade fruit tart booth,which is representative of themedieval period, Linn said.Favorite fare from years pastalso will make a reappear-ance: Linn said the fairwouldn’t be completewithout homemade rootbeer and turkey legs.

While the food may costa few pounds, literally andfiguratively, Linn said amajority of the entertain-ment is free.

“People can come to thefair, have a good time andnot spend a penny, if that’swhat they choose to do,” shesaid. “I feel really good aboutthat.”

A free jousting tourna-ment takes place every dayof the fair at 11 a.m. and 3p.m. Human chess gamesare scheduled for 1 p.m. and5 p.m. each day.

Linn said a special treatthis year are the two real-lifeweddings that will take placeat 2 p.m., one on Saturday

and one on Sunday. Linnsaid the fair usually has atleast one wedding, but lastyear didn’t have any. Havingtwo is a special occasion, shesaid.

Linn said she estimatesabout 300,000 people willattend the fair. Friday, theday set aside for schoolchild-

ren, will see about 52busloads of children.

Linn figured the averageparticipant stayed about fivehours, although many comeback on multiple days.

“There really is a lot tosee,” she said.

The crowds make animpact on Norman’seconomy, she noted. AnnaMiller, with the NormanArts Council, said a surveycompleted in 2002 showedthe Medieval Fair, alongwith four other festivalsand three theatricalproductions, brought inmore than $6.5 million,including spending at thefestivals and off-site.

Miller said that there wasa note on the surveyattributing most of the

spending to the MedievalFair. With more than 80percent of the vendors andperformers from outside thearea, Linn said those peoplebook hotel rooms, buysupplies and eat at restau-rants in the Norman area.

One change occurringthis year is a $5 charge forparking at nearby LloydNoble Center, a decisionmade by the University ofOklahoma.

For more scheduleinformation on performers,visit medievalfair.org. Aninteractive map will beposted on The NormanTranscript’s Web site as wellbefore the festival kicks off.
