Hall monitors, it's timeto rock the vote

The 2013 nominees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Famewere announced last week, and as usual, there weresome names that should have been inducted years ago,

some that just became eligible this year but exerted an in-credible influence, and some that made me bury my headin my hands and moan.

If you missed the announcement, these are the artistswho have a shot at entering the rock hall this year: Rush,Deep Purple, The Meters, The Marvelettes, Procol Har-um, Donna Summer, Chic, N.WA., Public Enemy, AlbertKing, Joan Jett and The Blackhearts, Heart, Kraftwerk,Randy Newman and The Paul But-terfield Blues Band.

Rather than devoting this columnto the list of artists who have long de-served to be in the hall but for someinexplicable reason were not nomi-nated (Link Wray, Johnny Burnette,Gordon Lightfoot, War, KISS, WarrenZevon and The MC5, to name a few),I'm going to predict which artists willactually get inducted next spring.Note that this is not a list of artistswho should be inducted, but rather alist of who will be inducted based on past voting practices.

1. Rush: I've never been a big fan of this Canadian powertrio, which has been merging hard rock with prog-rocksince the mid-'70s. However, Rush is virtually a shoe-inthis year for one reason: For the first time, fans to get votein one of the inductees, and Rush has a very devoted, veryrabid fan base. (To vote, go to rockhall.com/get-involved/interact/poll by Dec. 3.)

2. Deep Purple: For years, hard rock and metal fans de-spised the rock hall for its failure to induct any bands fromthe genre with the exception of Led Zeppelin, Aerosmithand AC/DC. However, at least one hard rock/metal bandhas been inducted every year since Black Sabbath in 2006,so it's a good bet that the crafters of the classics "Smokeon the Water" and "Woman from Tokyo" will get in thistime.

3. Donna Summer: More disco than rock, Summer hasbeen nominated before but never inducted. So why now?Simple: She died last year, so she gets the sympathy vote.Too bad for Chic, which is more deserving.

4. Public Enemy: The rock hall is woefully shy of rapgroups, so it's time to induct another to avoid anotherbacklash like it did with metalheads. N.W.A. was just as in-fluential, but Public Enemy was slightly less controversial,and Flavor Flav's goofy reality shows have made the groupmore acceptable to the mainstream.

5. Heart: I'm really torn on this one. I love Joan Jett justas much as Ann and Nancy Wilson, and the hard-rocking,bad attitude-expressing Joan has no doubt influencedeveryone from Courtney Love to Grace Potter. But in thiscase, I've got to give it to Heart for the group's consistencyand long list of hits, not to mention being one of the firstfemale-led groups to break through the glass ceiling.

Wild card: Albert King. One of the greatest guitaristsof all time, King (1923-92) was a member of the "ThreeKings" of blues guitar along with B.B. and Freddie, both ofwhom have already been inducted into the rock hall. Giventhat fact and the hall's tendency to induct at least onelong-overlooked artist every year, King could get in thistime. However, I wouldn't be surprised if he got inductedin the "early influence" category like Wanda Jackson didin 2009.

Who do you think is most deserving of induction into theRock and Roll Hall of Fame next spring? Click on thisstory at www.pressherald.com/life/go to vote, and I'll pres-ent the results next week.

Late bloomer found her voice in soul Kristina Kentigian is a Portland-based

singer-songwriter of the R&B, hip-hop and soul persuasion. She released

her debut record, "The Beginning Again," in July. You can find it on iTunes and at Bull Moose Music stores in Scarborough, Portland and Windham. GO caught up with Kentigian to learn about her begin­

nings, her influences and whom she'd love to collaborate with, among other things.

How old where you when you started singing?

AimSelPOntJ /enjoyed singing from a young age,

Makina Noisp d o i n § t a l e n t s h o w s > i iar\n ly INUDC e t c b u t — r e a U y d i d n > t

get that involved in making music until I was probably 17 years old. I never took music or chorus classes in high school. I knew I could sing decently, but never really felt I had much talent until I began singing with some lo­cal emcee friends in high school.

Do you play any instruments? I unfortunately do not. I always wanted

to take up guitar but have lacked the time and real effort to learn it proficiently. It is a goal I still hope to pursue.

When did you start writing songs and what does your process look like?

Kristina Kentigian, who has been writing songs since her junior year in high school, lists Stevie Wonder and Jannes Morrison annong her influences.

535 Shore Road, Cape Elizabeth • 767-8181 • annveronica.com Mon-Sat 10-6, Sun 12-5

I slowly started writing songs by my junior year in high school with my friend DJ Newscreen. I later joined a hip-hop soul group called 111 Natural along with Newscreen, and together we wrote over three albums worth of material. I've been writing ever since.

Who are your influences? My influences are eclectic but mainly

Lauryn Hill, D'Angelo, Musiq Soulchild, Mary J. Blige, Stevie Wonder, Sia, Cee Lo Green, James Morrison, Etta James, and a lot of '90s and early 2000s R&B.

If you could collaborate with any­one in the world - dead or alive - who would it be?

For years I would always say Stevie Wonder. While Stevie is still one of my most favorite artists, I would have to hon estly say James Morrison. I think soni-cally we could create something amazing.

Friday, October 12, 7:30 PM Talbot Hall, USM/Portland campus Rana's Wedding, from the award-winning director of Paradise Now, is a portrait of romantic love for Palestinians living under Israeli occupation. Resisting her father's list of potential husbands, Rana sets out to locate the lover of her own choosing. Funny, charming, and politically subtle, this film won awards at Cannes and the Human Rights Watch Film Festival. Says Roger Ebert, "It gives a more complete visual picture than we ever see on the news." According to the Washington Post, Clara Khoury (Rana) is "luminous, fierce and intensely focused" in the role for which she won the Grand Prize for Best Actress at the Cologne Mediterranean Film Festival. Tickets: $7 / $5 for students, seniors, and MVPR members Sponsors: Multicultural Student Association of USM, Multicultural Student Affairs Office of USM and MVPR Ticket proceeds will help fund a playground for the children ofAida Refugee Camp in Bethlehem.

Saturday, October 13, 7:30 PM The Space Gallery, 538 Congress St. 5 Broken Cameras combines cinema and political activism in a challenging and compelling way that seamlessly connects the personal and the political. The film provides a first-hand account of the resilience, courage, and resourcefulness of the West Bank citizens of Bil'in when their lands are confiscated by the "security" wall for encroaching illegal Jewish-only settlements. Q & A following the f i lm moderated by Anthony Kaufman, a recent transplant from New York who is actively engaged in writing about political films (in the Village Voice, the Utne Reader and at lndiewire.com). He currently teaches a course at the University of Southern Maine called "Political Hotspot Cinema," which has a Palestinian film component. Tickets: $7/5 for Space members and students with I.D.

HOW IT RATES IAN STUART: "Day Drinker" Self-produced

Based on a four-star scale

Stuart delivers the goods with nice timing, but no beat

By KRISTIN DiCARA-McCLELLAN

As I was sifting through the many CDs on my desk waiting to be reviewed - some of them calling out to me with

abstract cubism art covers, others featur­ing four guys hanging out on a dilapidated train track -1 felt immobilized.

I'm certainly not saying these CDs weren't good quality products with tal­ented people collaborating on a creative endeavor sure to please at least a small roomful of people on a Friday night in a Portland club. But for some reason, at that split second, my innards were screaming out for something with an edge to it.

I got lucky. Enter Ian Stuart, a 26-year-old stand-up

comedian from Portland who pretty much filled the bill with what I was hankering for (except for, well, the music part).

The catch is, there is a correlation between the art of making music and the art of making comedy. As I listened to Stuart's 11-track digital album of stand-up, I was pleasantly surprised.

Stuart tossed around the gratuitous subjects of sex and drugs, which certainly could have dangerously delved into the "ad nauseam" category as far as jokes go. But he was able to deliver his mes­sage (using these age-old subjects) with quick and deliberate strokes of truth, then follow them up with uncanny timing and patience for the audience to catch up.

This, to me, is the mastery of such things. It is one notion to write a joke, just as it is to write a song on paper, but another to deliver it with confidence, emotion and timing. A comedian must walk the line of funny and perverse, and while Stuart does sometimes cross the line in political correctness (as in the track "Afghan Divorce Court"), he was able to get away with it in his framing of the joke and his quick retreat.

In any form of performance art, the per­son creating must be cautious of the ebb and flow of synaptic energy in order to bring on an emotionally charged release of joy or sorrow with the use of sarcastic irony or calculated bluntness.

The entertainer is the conduit of tempestuous pleasure and pain for our senses to experience, as this is our luxury in the state of our sometimes stagnant, stressful and ever-changing experience of just plain old existing here on this planet Earth.

CAMPBELLContinued from Page E5

Then there's Campbell earlier thismonth, at home, answering the tele-phone. An interview for this story hadbeen scheduled with his daughter, AshleyCampbell. But when the phone rang,Campbell himself answered.

When asked if Ashley was there,Campbell first said no, then began askingother people if she was in the house, thenrepeatedly asked who was calling. Aftera minute or two, Ashley took the phonefrom him.

"It's hard to see someone as talentedand wonderful as him have some difficultmoments," said Ashley, 25, during thatphone interview. "But we're doing thistour because he just wanted to keep play-ing. He just wants to do what he loves.There are times when it's difficult for himon stage, and there are more of thoselately."

Campbell's indefinite "Goodbye Tour,"featuring family members in his backingband, will come to Portland's Merrill Au-ditorium on Tuesday, courtesy of PortlandOvations.

People would likely come to see Camp-bell for any show, given his slew of hugepop hits in the 1960s and 70s that include"By the Time I Get to Phoenix," "WichitaLineman," "Gentle on My Mind," "Galves-ton" and "Rhinestone Cowboy."

But this tour has the added emotionalpower of watching a star deal very pub-licly with a debilitating disease that somany families have faced, or will face,themselves. So he's not just performing- he's raising the profile of Alzheimer'sand all those who it affects.

"What he's doing raises awareness somuch, and helps deal with the lack of un-derstanding and fear connected with thisdisease," said Jessica James, directorof communications and advocacy for theAlzheimer's Association, Maine Chapter,in Scarborough. "We're (definitely excitedhe's in town. He's increasing awareness,and that's one of our major goals."

Although Campbell was diagnosed withAlzheimer's last year, family memberssay he probably had symptoms for years.In June 2011, he announced his conditionpublicly, and soon began his "GoodbyeTour" that will take him around the worldindefinitely. His backing band on this tourincludes at least three of his children atany one time, including Ashley on banjo.

Campbell also has a hit record to tourbehind. Last year, he released a new stu-dio album, "Ghost on the Canvas," whichreached No. 6 on Billboard's CountryAlbums chart and No. 26 on the Billboard200 - his highest-charting album since"Southern Nights" in 1977.

"Ghost" featured contributions from arange of musicians who praise Campbellfor his prowess as a session guitaristand pop singer, and for his influence onthe music industry. Those include artistsas diverse as Billy Corgan of Smash-ing Pumpkins, Paul Westerberg of TheReplacements and Jakob Dylan of TheWallflowers.

Campbell's career spans some 50 years,from his session work on pop classicssuch as "Be My Baby" by The Ronettesand Frank Sinatra's "Strangers in the

Night" to his own hits, which began chart-ing in 1967.

He's also had success on television withthe top-rated variety show "The GlenCampbell Goodtime Hour," and on film,starring alongside John Wayne in theclassic 1969 Western "True Grit." He waseven a member of The Beach Boys for abrief period in the 1960s.

The Arkansas-born Campbell was alsowell-known for a romance with countrysinger Tanya Tucker and their mutualdownward spiral into drug and alcoholabuse. But he's been sober for years, andmarried to the same woman for the last30 years.

The "Goodbye Tour" has already takenCampbell and his family to Europe beforefocusing on the U.S. this year. While somecritics have found fault with Campbell'sperformances - and much has been writ-ten about him forgetting lyrics - Doyleand other music writers say Campbell isstill well worth seeing.

Ashley says the songs her father doeson stage are mostly his hits from the '60sand 70s, because those are the songs he'smost comfortable with and has the easi-est time performing. "We stick with those,and that seems to work out best for him,"she said.

James says the fact that Campbell ap-pears comfortable onstage while strug-gling sometimes at home is commonamong Alzheimer's sufferers.

"We hear that from a lot of caregivers• the most fundamental pieces of whothey are, what they do, don't go away,"said James.

Ashley says the tour has been a chancefor her to see first-hand the impact herfather's music has had on people, given

that she was born after he scored his big-gest hits.

She's also been heartened by the com-passion fans have for him, as evidencedby them helping him with lyrics by sing-ing along, or cheering louder when he'sstruggling through a song. Campbell usesteleprompters to help him with lyrics.

"It's amazing for me to see these sold-out audiences singing along, and cheer-ing for him even when he messes up on alyric," said Ashley. "I never really under-stood before this how much he impactedpeople, in so many ways."

**** OPENING ** THIS WEEK *

Affleckzeroes inThe actor keeps raising the bar on himself as adirector, and he's done it again - this time to nearperfection - with the edge-of-your-seat 'Argo.'

By ROGER MOOREMcClatchy Newspapers

en Affleck is closing in on the perfect thriller. "Argo"shows us how near the mark he has gotten in justthree films.

Since stepping behind the camera to direct, Affleckhas yet to make a movie that doesn't pull us to theedge of our seats.

He may have showed his easy way with suspense and pathos,chases and humor with "Gone Baby Gone" and "The Town." But"Argo" has him operating on a whole new level.

This deft blend of mortal terror, personal and national humili-ations and Hollywood chutzpah is one of the best pictures of theyear.

"Argo" is based on a true story that took place during the Iranianhostage crisis of 1979-80. Six Americans slipped through Iranianclutches and hid out in the Canadian ambassador's residence.The U.S. State Department wanted to disguise them and havethem ride out of the country on bicycles. But one C.I.A. agent hada better idea. Give 'em sunglasses, call them movie people andpass them off as Hollywood types on a "location scout" for a "Star

Film takes a trip in the woods of 'Damnationland'

Dennis Perkins Indie Film

Since 2010, teams of Maine filmmak­ers have gathered every October and dedicated their talents toward the

worthy goal of making local audiences wet themselves in terror. Now, as Hal­loween approaches, it's "Damnationland" time again.

The third annual Maine-made horror anthology premieres Oct. 19 at the State Theatre, and will include contributions

from local moviemak­ers Allen Baldwin (Portland), Regina Bartholomew (New Gloucester), The Sisters Grumbling (Wells natives), R.J. Wilson (an Auburn native based in Ohio), and, perhaps the most successful Maine filmmaker of his generation, Kyle Rankin.

Portland native Rankin, alongside his filmmaking partner Efram Potelle, won the prestigious HBO "Project Green-light" filmmaking competition in 2003 and directed the resulting national feature "The Battle of Shaker Heights" starring a young Shia Labeouf.

After heading out on his own, Rankin directed the horror comedy "Infestation" (released by Icon Entertainment) and his newest feature, the post-apocalyptic "Nuclear Family," premieres in webseries form on SyFycom on Oct. 15. In addition, he's just inked a deal with the production company of actor Jeremy Renner ("The Avengers") to write and direct a feature next year.

Now living in California, Rankin is com­ing home, cinematically speaking, with his "Damnationland" short "Raw Foot­age." He recently took the time to answer some questions for this column:

How did you get involved in this year's "Damnationland"?

I reached out to Allen (Baldwin) after last year's film, and I was so impressed. I said I wished "Damnationland" had existed when I was in Portland and, true to their word, they contacted me this spring, and have been really good about checking in. It's a refreshing East Coast approach - out here (in L.A.), people only get in contact with you when the contract is signed.

What have you thought of the "Dam-nationlands" you've seen?

I'm really impressed by it. (Producer/ director) Dave (Meiklejohn) sent me a bunch of the past films, and it's a lot of fun. I'm really impressed by their whole organization.

So what's your film about? Hmm, I don't know how to tease it

without giving anything away. It all takes place in the woods, and it's more of a thriller/tension thing than straight-up

horror. There's a group of people meeting in the woods, and maybe savvy view­ers will think it's going in one particular direction, and then it goes in another.

There's a lot of orchestration - the ma­jority of the film is one six- or seven-min­ute shot with a lot of things happening. There are four really talented guys and one girl, including (Skowhegan native) Nate Aldrich.

I'm really proud of it. It's self-funded, but I'm calling in a ton of favors for the sound and color-timing for a more cin­ematic look.

CHECK IN NEXT WEEK for more details on this year's "Damnationland," which screens at 8 p.m. Oct. 19. General admission tickets are $10, and may be purchased through statetheatreportland .com.

COMING TO LOCAL SCREENS NICKELODEON CINEMA, Por t land (patriotcinemas.com) Thursday: "All's Well That Ends Well." The Nick beams in this performance of Shakespeare's "problem play" of love, deceit and all-around male jerkiness straight from the Bard's own Globe Theater.

SPACE GALLERY, Por t land (space538.org) Saturday: "5 Broken Cameras." Documentary about Palestinian father Emad Burnat, whose filmed record of nonviolent resistance in a West Bank village is punctuated by the destruc­tion of each of his five video cameras.

RELEASESThe Portland Press Herald/ Thursday, October 11, 2012

«»>** Annual MotorGO E15

NEW ON THE SHELF

"PROMETHEUS," starring Noomi Rapace andMichael Fassbender. Ridley Scott's sprawling,fascinating prequel-of-sorts to his 1979 sci-fi/horror classic "Alien" involves not only discover-ing the origin of human life but saving it froman unthinkable fate. Leading the way is the in-domitable Noomi "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo"Rapace as Elizabeth Shaw, accepting the torchfrom Sigourney Weaver without missing a beat.Also on board is Fassbinder in the prerequisitecyborg role, Charlize Theron and Iris Elba. RatedR. Running time: 2:04

Suggested retail price: $29.99; Blu-ray $39.99

"THE RAVEN," starring John Cusack and LukeEvans. An intriguing attempt to mold horrormaestro Edgar Allan Poe (played here by Cu-sack, clearly enjoying himself) into a detectiveof sorts, teaming with detective Evans to helpsolve a string of gruesome murders seeminglyinspired by Poe's own works of fiction. "TheRaven" is an uneven affair, with the rather harshgore not always meshing well with the wryscript, but director James McTeigue ("V for Ven-detta") gets points for originality, not to men-tion rekindling interest in some brilliant classichorror writing. Rated R. Running time: 1:50

Suggested retail price: $29.98; Blu-ray $39.99

"ROCK OF AGES," starring Julianne Houghand Tom Cruise. A box office disappointmentand a critical punching bag, "Rock of Ages"plays much better apart from the overreachingad campaign and the bandwagon of naysayerseager to kick a movie when its down. The musicis great, the cast is clearly having the time of itslife, and there's never a dull moment. Stealingthe show is Cruise as the perfectly named Sta-cee Jaxx, a long-in-the-tooth rock legend strug-gling to remain relevant in a young person's(personified here by Hough) game. Rated PG-13.Running time: 2:03

Suggested retail price: $28.98; Blu-ray $35.99

"IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA: THECOMPLETE SEASON SEVEN," starring CharlieDay and Glenn Howerton. Best known for the"Mac gets fat" storyline, wherein co-star andseries creator Rob McElhenney actually gained50 pounds simply because he thought it wouldbe funny. It's this over-the-top, devil-may-careapproach to comedy that has kept this dedicat-ediy offensive favorite fresh and addictive forseven seasons. Not rated; contains language andcrude humor. Running time: 4:46

Suggested retail price: $39.98; Blu-ray $49.99

"MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR," starring The Bea-tles. Not one of the Fab Four's more celebratedvisual efforts, this 1967 psychedelic TV specialfinds the Beatles at the apex of their drug phase,packing as much cheerful surrealism as possibleinto the allotted running time to promote thetitular album. As such, audiences and criticsused to the squeaky-clean antics of "A HardDay's Night" and "Help!" were understandablytaken aback by the tripped-out images on dis-play. But as usual, the boys were well ahead oftheir time, telegraphing the eventually ubiqui-tous and accepted music video format decadesbefore MTV. Not rated; nothing objectionable.Running time: 1:00

Suggested retail price: $19.98; Blu-ray $29.98

NEW TO BLU-RAY

"E.T. THE EXTRA TERRESTRIAL," starringHenry Thomas and Drew Barrymore. If for somemisguided reason you chose to watch only one

Twentieth Century Fox

Aboard an alien vessel, David (MichaelFassbender) makes a discoverythat could have world-changingconsequences in "Prometheus."

movie from the 1980s, here it is: Steven Spiel-berg's touching, hilarious, and, yes, brilliant1982 family classic that brought such once-inescapable phrases as "phone home" and "begood" into the lexicon of the time. Rated PGfor language and peril. Running time: 1:55

Suggested retail price: $34.98

"LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS: DIRECTOR'SCUT," starring Rick Moranis and Ellen Greene.Director Frank Oz brings the popular cult-classic-turned-Broadway-musical to the bigscreen with resounding success in this 1986 hit,which gave Moranis a then-rare starring roleand an even rarer opportunity to show off hissinging skills as Seymour, a nerdy floral shopemployee forced to face off against a sentientand ill-intentioned plant. With hilarious sup-porting turns by Steve Martin, Bill Murray andJohn Candy, "Little Shop" hasn't aged a day.Rated PG-13. Running time: 1:34

Suggested retail price: $34.99

VIDEOPORT PICKS

"A CAT IN PARIS," animated with the voicesof Marcia Gay Harden and Anjelica Huston.A pleasingly old-school animated adventurefrom French animators Jean-Loup Felicioli andAlain Gagnol rely on a 2D storybook style thatperfectly suits the classy and sleek tale of acat burglar - in this case an actual cat whohappens to be a burglar, or a burglar's assistantat any rate. When the mute little girl he liveswith is kidnapped by gangsters, it's up to kittyto get her back, and the chases and close callsthat accompany this mission make for fineentertainment for young and old. Rated PG formild violence and action, and some thematicmaterial. Running time: 1:10

Suggested retail price: $29.95; Blu-ray $34.95

"LCD SOUNDSYSTEM: SHUT UP AND PLAYTHE HITS," documentary. LCD mastermindJames Murphy and his ever-changing mindstate is what fuels this engaging documentaryfrom directors Will Lovelace and Dylan South-ern. The nerve-wracking buildup to Murphy'sfinal gala concert at Madison Square Gardenand the emotional aftermath when the stadiumhas cleared and it dawns on the musician thatLCD is done for good provide the drama. Fansof LCD Soundsystem are obviously the targetaudience, but Murphy is an ingratiating subjectwhether one is familiar with his work or not.Not rated, contains language. Running time:1:48

Suggested retail price: $34.99; Blu-ray $39.99

need to pull this off quickly. TheIranians are closing in on the folkshiding out. They need this produc-tion to look legit. They need "real"Hollywood folks, "names." Oscar-winning makeup artist John Cham-bers (John Goodman, perfect) is anold C.I.A. contact. And he drags inproducer Lester Siegel, played withhis usual profane relish by the greatAlan Arkin.

Affleck and screenwriter ChrisTerrio could have easily turned thisfar-fetched tale into a farce. Andthe Hollywood scenes are exactlythat - cynical, silly, downright giddy.Period-perfect rock songs litter thesoundtrack, Rolls Royces dot theHollywood hills and no Hollywoodcliche - bluffing down an agent'sasking price for a bad script titled"Argo" - is too corny to revive.

Goodman ably plays the jaded oldpro, full of cracks about a town filledwith liars, frauds and no-talents.Arkin is the hard-nosed has-beenwho rolls up his sleeves and cooksup ways to build buzz, to make thisseem like the real deal. ("If I'm doinga fake movie, it's going to be a HIT!")

But Affleck never lets us lose sightof the circumstances surrounding allthis fakery and tomfoolery. News-casts of the day are the soundtrackto many scenes, and we see graphicdepictions of the torture of hostages,

the bickering and day-by-day terrorand paranoia of those still in hiding(Tate Donovan, Clea DuVall, KerryBishe and Scoot McNairy amongthem).

Woven into that are scenes wherewe see cold-eyed revolutionaries,hunting for Americans and allies ofthe former Shah, and Iranian chil-dren, laboring to piece together snip-pets of photos that will allow them toidentify the missing Americans.

Detail after detail seems just right.The location scouts are so fright-ened that it takes effort for them tonot cower and lower their eyes whenthey're supposed to be looking, tak-ing notes and photographs.

Affleck plays this spy as utterlypoker-faced, not raising his voice toconvince others to join him on thisrisky endeavor, never strutting likea "movie" secret agent - alwayswary, fearful, but ready to go all-inon the bet once he's made it. It's acanny, confident performance, play-ing straight man to Goodman, Arkinand a volcanic Bryan Cranston, hisC.I.A. boss, and father confessor tothe Americans he has to convince totrust him with their lives.

And the actor behind the camera,the one who brilliantly sums upIranian/U.S. history and the awfulday the embassy was overrun in 12electrifying opening minutes, theone who keeps the clock ticking onthis superb "ticking-clock thriller"?He isn't bad either.

Darned near perfect.

Mad Horse Theatre moves to a

new home in South Portland, and

elects to open its new season

w i th the comedy 'November. '

By BOB KEYES Staff Writer

ad Horse Theatre finally has a home.

After moving from spot to spot season after season, the venerable theater company is in control of its own per­

formance venue. Mad Horse will pres­ent its shows at its rehearsal space in the former Hutchins School on Mosher Street in South Portland. The company has converted the space into a black-box theater with about 50 seats.

It opens its 27th season this week with the David Mamet election comedy "November," centering on the fictional

President Charles Smith in the days before his second election. It previews Thursday and Friday, and celebrates with an opening-night gala on Saturday.

For the past two seasons, Mad Horse presented its shows at Lucid Stage on Baxter Boulevard in Portland. Lucid was great, and audiences seemed to love going there, company members said.

But Lucid ceased operations, leaving Mad Horse and other theater compa­nies without a home.

Mad Horse is accustomed to such a scenario. Since the closing of the Oak Street Theater more than a decade ago, the company has hopped from location to location. One season, it presented its shows in three different locations, in­cluding the living room of a Mad Horse member.

here."The only question is whether fans will find

it.Mad Horse has always been a Portland-

based company. Now it moves across thebridge to the Ferry Village neighborhood inSouth Portland. But this community has adeep theater tradition. Lyric Music Theatreis right around the corner, and Portland Play-ers isn't far away.

Jacobs and others associated with MadHorse are counting on Portland theater-go-ers to make the trek across the water.

"I have to believe our core audience is goingto follow us," said artistic director ChristineMarshall-Dow. "They have for years, andthere's a theater scene in South Portland al-ready. I don't think it's too much of a stretch."

South Portland is making Mad Horse feelwelcome. The City Council formally recog-nized Mad Horse with a proclamation wel-coming the theater company to the city.

Marshall-Dow, who directs "November,"said it's advantageous for Mad Horse tohave its own venue. For one thing, it doesn'thave to rent performance space. It already ispaying rent to the city of South Portland forits five-year lease at the Hutchins School, soby doing shows there, it saves money by nothaving to rent additional performance space.

Just as enticing, it allows the theater to ex-tend its run if audience demand warrants it.Mad Horse will fully control its schedule, andcan adapt and adjust as needed. That wasrarely possible at other rented spaces.

"As soon as the show was over, we had to

break the set and get out. There was alwayssomeone else ready to come in," Marshall-Dow said.

Mad Horse learned of Lucid's plans overthe summer. That allowed enough time toconvert one large room of the Mosher Streetschool into a small theater.

"November" is set in the Oval Office, so forthis show, audiences will be seated on eitherside of the president's desk. The room hasbeen curtained off with large black drapes,and seats are placed on risers. Most of theperformance will occur between both sets ofrisers.

The space also allows flexibility. If a showlends itself to a different configuration, MadHorse can move things around accordingly.The only hindrance are support columns thatdivide the room.

The school also has a large playgroundarea, and Mad Horse is contemplating doingsome shows outside.

Given the election coming up in a fewweeks, "November" seems an appropriateshow to open the season. Company memberBrent Askari stars as President Smith. Theplay also features company members JamesHerrera and Burke Brimmer.

Nathan Lane played the president on theBroadway version, which opened in 2008.

"This play gives people the opportunity tohave a big laugh about politics," Marshall-Dow said. "It is so smartly written. I find theending to be pure old-fashioned Americana.The ending is so deeply satisfying to me. It'snot the grim black David Mamet of 'Glengar-ry Glen Ross.' It's so sharp and witty."

Atwell: Marshall Wharf Brewing Co., E24 • Bar Guide: Spread, E25

E24 GO | The Portland Press Herald/ Thursday, October 11, 2012

Marshall Wharf rolling out cans at anniversary bash Marshall Wharf Brewing in Belfast,

whose beer previously had been available only on draft at select bars

and from growlers at the brewery, is now canning some of its beer.

The cans will be sold first on Saturday at Marshall Wharf's 5th Anniversary of Beer, being held under heated tents in the parking lot of the brewery and its affiliated Three Tides Restaurant.

David Carlson, co-owner and brewer, had said earlier that the cans would be sold sometime during the summer.

"The canning thing has been dragging and dragging and dragging and dragging," Carlson said. "Then we had to go through installation and training with their techs out of Calgary, Alberta. Their analysis says that sealing is the most complicated part - getting the lead seamed to the top of the can. So we spent two days practicing fill­ing the cans, and then tearing them down and making adjustments."

Carlson said the big push to go into cans was due to recent changes allowing ge­neric cans, giving the name of the brewery and other information, but no information about the specific beer. The beer name, percent alcohol by volume and a UPC code will be printed on a label that will be stuck onto the can. The UPC code is required so the cans' deposit can be tracked.

"It used to be the minimum order to do a batch of cans was 80,000," Carlson said. "When looking at a profile in which we had to commit to one of our beers, Illegal Ale-Ien say we would have to sell 80,000 cans of it, which would take about a year, before we could do something else."

He still has to order the 80,000 cans - with a price tag of about $30,000 when shipping and other fees are included - but he can switch varieties as much as he

market, and it's obvious from the plac­ards and signage that it specializes in meats and deli products. But it's so much more than that.

Step inside and one quickly discov­ers that Fresh Approach is a bustling full-service corner grocery with produce, dairy and bakery products in addition to a well-stocked and appealing deli section. The lunch menu entices with a board selection of hot and cold sandwiches, freshly grilled burgers and daily soups.

This is the kind of place my parents grew up with. It's not exactly a relic from an earlier time, but these neighborhood markets were a lot more common a generation or two ago. It's very nice that some still exist.

Two quick impressions: The sandwiches are made on the spot with fresh meats and cheeses, and the prices are reason­able. How does $3.99 for a ham Italian sound? Or $3.99 for a well-sized cheese­burger, grilled while you wait?

I opted for a meatloaf sandwich ($5.99) and a cup of chicken gumbo ($3.49). Oh my, were they good.

Marshall Wharf is beginning to can some of its beers, which beer lovers may find locally at Downeast Beverage and the Bier Cellar in Portland.

wants. Carlson said he is committed - and it

says so right on the generic can - to brew­ing a 200-gallon batch of beer each week for canning, which will amount to about 1,600 16-ounce cans. The beer will not be available at every supermarket and corner beer store.

"We self-distribute," Carlson said. "I am

The gumbo was perfect for a raw, rainy day. It was creamy and thick, with shred­ded chicken and rice in every spoonful. I don't know if the thickener was a roux or file powder - or something else - but it packed an ever-so-slight hint of Cajun seasoning. What impressed me the most

actually doing all of the driving myself now as we get our inven­tory up."

He said his plan is to drop off the cans to beer stores on the same trips he makes each week to deliver kegs to bars in a tri­angle, with Bangor, Bar Harbor and Kittery at the corners.

He said he expects the Port­land stores that will be getting his beer will be Downeast Bev­erage on Commercial Street and the Bier Cellar on Forest Avenue because they are small enough to handle a limited product like his and because he drives by the shops on his weekly bar runs.

"We will be using social media, Face-book and Twitter, to announce on a weekly basis what we have canned and where we are going to be," Carlson said. "Let's say that I deliver to Portland on a Wednesday, which I usually do, and someone comes in on Saturday and there is no Marshall Wharf. With a regular store, the clerk might say T don't know, Marshall Wharf must not have their act together' "

With a smaller store, the clerks know to that the shipment has sold out.

And I am guessing it will sell out often. I enjoy Marshall Wharf beers a lot but

e seldom get to Belfast to buy growlers. If it is on tap at a bar I am visiting, I order it. I order Oxbow for the same reason, and have a decision problem if a bar has both.

The cans will give me more of a chance r- to drink Marshall Wharf.

Carlson says he is not sure yet what he will charge for a 16-ounce can of his beer because he is not sure how much labor

3r will be involved in canning. The price will vary based on the level of alcohol,

i because higher-alcohol beers take more

was the texture and plentifulness of the chicken. These weren't chicken chunks, but thinly shredded flanks of well-cooked chicken.

The meatloaf sandwich could not have been better. It featured two hunks of seasoned meatloaf, each sliced about a

ingredients and longer to brew. But he expects it will be in the same price range as bottles of Maine Beer and Rising Tide.

He expects to improve efficiency by having people working at the brewery store - where there is often some down time - applying the labels to the cans.

The anniversary party Satur­day will run from 5 to 11 p.m.

and include more than 30 Marshall Wharf beers, including some made with fresh hops and others aged in barrels from the Bowmore Scotch company, as a result of a trip the Marshall Wharf staff made to Scotland over the summer.

Tickets will cost $30 and include a tast­ing glass and 10 8-ounce pours, with mu­sic provided by Toughcats. Information is available at marshallwharf.com.

Carlson said last year's anniversary drew about 600 people, but he thinks the number could hit 800 this year because there has been increased interest.

So I would have a can to photograph and test out, Carlson left an unlabeled can of Illegal Ale-Ien for me when he made last week's deliver to Novare Res in Portland. Illegal Ale-Ien is a hybrid kolsch brewed with blue agave nectar, coming in at 8 percent alcohol.

All four people who split this can liked it a lot. It was light and crisp, despite the high alcohol content, and the agave nectar added just a bit of sweetness and spice.

half-inch thick, and served on a chewy 12-inch sub roll with melted cheese and a touch of ketchup. My intent was to eat half and save the other half for dinner. But I plowed through all 12 inches with­out hesitation.

While I was waiting for my sandwich, the deli clerk began grilling two burgers for another customer. She laid out two huge patties and began sizzling them right in front of me. I'm a big fan of big burgers, and I don't mind admitting that I have been thinking about those slabs of meat for the past two weeks. They are next on my list.

Before checking out, I grabbed a few other grocery items that I needed for my apartment. I was quiet and kept to myself, as I typically do. But the clerk would not let me go unnoticed. He did not recognize me as a regular, and seemed genuine with his greeting.

"We appreciate your business," he told me as I handed over my cash.

It's nice to have a place in the neighbor­hood that's convenient and reasonable - and where they truly make you feel welcome.

Mimosas are more my pace,but Ashley opted for the BloodyMary. Be warned, this drink isnot for the faint of heart. It's gota spicy kick to it that will kill anyhangover you might have andleave you ready for brunch.

Spread's food menu is no lesscreative than its beverages.Ashley ordered the goat cheeseand mushroom potato caketopped with two poached eggsand served with home fries. I, onthe other hand, had to see whatthe breakfast taco was all about.It was a yummy twist, servedon two opened-faced taco shellswith black beans, egg whites (bymy request), sour cream andfreshly roasted veggies.

If you hit up Spread in the

evening, expect to pay a bit morefor your cocktails. Drinks on themenu range from $9 to $11. Themenu features classics, like aSidecar, as well as innovativebeverages.

TA.LJK: .A.

Fun is pretty much the only thing Gardiner'sSwine & Stein Oktoberfest takes seriously - which

explains the bands, the beer and the rubber chickens.othing like pork and beerto bring out the silliness infolks.

That's probably why Gar-diner's 3rd Annual Swine &Stein Oktoberfest has sort ofmorphed into an Olympics of

silliness.Certainly there will be local pork

and local brews to sample, which isserious stuff. Plus performancesby local bands, who take theirmusic very seriously.

But in between all that hooplawill be a parade of potentiallyhilarious tests of (not much) skill,including the rubber chickenfling; the frozen T-shirt contest;the Maine Championship ofrock-paper-scissors; and thepopular "throw the ping-pongball into a bucket tied to yourpartner's head" game.

"Yeah, we're always brain-storming funny games to dobetween the bands playing,"said Patrick Wright, execu-tive director of Gardiner MainStreet, the organizing group."This event just started as afun fall festival."

So funny games fit right in.The rubber chicken fling got

started because organizersdecided it might be hard tofind a rubber pig, never mindfling one.But rubber chickens are plen-

tiful at party stores, and giventheir long bodies, they fly pretty

well once flung.So for the fling, which is non-com-

petitive, one person holds one endof a long elastic exercising bandwhile a partner pulls the other

end of the band, which is wrappedaround the chicken.

Then, like with a giant slingshot,one person lets go and the chickengoes flying.

Since there is nocompetition, peopleof all ages and skilllevels can flingchickens all daylong, said Wright.Anyone is welcome

i« P% , i • to try.RayRouthier it Snke throw- ff , ing horseshoes or(Jit oGdt something," said

Wright.Another funny

game at the Swine & Stein Saturdaywill be the frozen T-shirt contest. Thenight before, a number of T-shirts willbe balled up and thrown in a freezer.

Then come game time Saturday,each contestant will be given a frozenball of shirt. The person who thawsand can wear the shirt the quickestwins a yet-to-be determined prize.

So how does one thaw a frozen T-shirt?

"I don't want to give away too manysecrets, but it's all about body heatand wetness," said Wright. "Last yearit had just rained, and there was apuddle nearby."

Of course, the Swine & Stein is notall games. There will be lots of ven-dors serving local pork in a variety offoods, including sausages and pulledpork sandwiches.

There will be lots of beer too. For a$15 admission ticket ($10 in advance)

The first 1,000 people through the gateget a souvenir taster glass.

There will also be local bands playingall day long, capped by Anna and TheDiggs at 5:30 p.m.

But back to the games. The ping ballinto the bucket game might not be thatsilly, except when you consider thebucket will be wobbling on someone's

head. And the thrower will be asked tothrow from "some distance away."

And as for the Maine Championshipof rock-paper-scissors, the name mightbe more profound than it should be. ButWright hopes to come up with a veryserious competitive set-up for that con-test, including divisions and bracketsfor folks to compete in.

Because when you take a game assilly as rock-paper-scissors and addsomething as serious sounding as"brackets," you can't help but make thewhole thing sillier.

Smoke and Mirror and a dynamic circus performance By AVERY YALE KAMILA

StaffWriter The world-famous acrobatic circus

Cirque du Soleil is in town this weekend, but if the $35 to $100 ticket price is too much of a stretch, head over to Geno's on Sunday and check out the home­grown human talents of the Smoke and Mirror Circus.

The scale, cast and set are smaller, but so is the ticket price: It will only set you back $6.

Like Cirque du Soleil, the Smoke and Mirror Circus performs without animals, instead relying solely on the talents of the human body. This means jugglers, trapeze artists, poi twirlers, belly danc­ers, hoopers, mimes and a live band will fill the stage.

The show, which lasts two hours including an intermission, features a dreamy, narrative tale set to music but without any dialogue.

"We've got this mime falling asleep and then her shadow steps out of her body behind a silhouette screen," said director and ringmaster Diana Duane. "It's a lot artsier this year. It's really colorful and dark at the same time. The story comes across as really dreamy and magical."

As the mime, played by Bettina Black, travels through this dreamy jungle world, she encounters numerous animal spirits that guide her on her way

The circus made its debut last sum­mer with a show that told the tale of a man finding his place in the world. This Sunday marks the final performance of the current show.

"We're taking a month off to write the next show," Duane said. "Then we're coming back in December."

The cast includes 16 performers who

have found their way to the circus through the myriad intersections of Portland's creative community.

The cast does change a bit with each performance, and some of the folks you'll see on stage this Sunday include

belly dancer Michelle Estelle, dancer and trapeze artist Braelyn Degnan, juggler Jody Cash and aerial silk artist Jenn Bliss.

Many of the cast members perform pieces of the original musical score, but the core members of the Smoke and Mirror orchestra include Gina Brown, who performs on piano, bass and drums; Dana Erickson, who plays the drums, saxophone and guitar; April H, who plays the guitar; and Duane, who sings and plays piano and guitar.

The show also features hula hooper April Stuart, who is also a poi twirler. This art form typically involves swirling batons of fire.

Duane said when she first approached Geno's owner, J.R. D'Alessandro, about hosting the shows, "he said sure, but absolutely no fire." As a result, Stuart's batons will be lit by LEDs rather than flames.

Duane said the dynamic show - even without the flames - gets positive feed­back from audiences.

"Everybody's well entertained in Portland," Duane said. "There's plenty of bands to go and see, and theater to go and see. But this is something different, and I think people really like it."

"FAMILY PORTRAIT IN BLACK AND WHITE," d i r e c t e d by Julia Ivanova, 2011, NR, 1:25. In a Ukrainian village, big-hearted and formidable Olga Nenya single-handedly raises 23 foster children. Sixteen are the biracial offspring of visiting African students and Ukrainian women, who, living in a country of blue-eyed blondes that's racked with endemic racism, often see no choice but to abandon their babies. Family Portrait in Black and White charts the rhythms of Olga's hectic household, rife with rambunctious kids and goats. As diverse dramas unfold among the brood - a high-schooler struggling to transcend his plight through education, a boy longing to

reunite with his Ugandan father, and a child courted for Italian adoption - Olga reveals herself to be loving and protective, but also narrow-minded and controlling. A product of communist ideology, she favors collective duty over individual freedom. It's this philosophy that gives the orphans the rich sense of belonging they ache for, as well as cause for rebellion and distrust, in this lyrical, sometimes gut-wrenching, tale. In Russian, Italian and Ukrainian with English subtitles.
