Hostel: Part III
No worries: “Hostel: Part III” is in good hands with Scott Spiegel (“Intruder”) at the helm. Just as Roth turned the tables in 2007’s “Part II” by refusing to take the easy route of just redoing 2005’s “Hostel,” Spiegel also does something very different. Namely: Vegas, baby, Vegas! No characters from the previous “Hostel” entries…

Klown Kamp Massacre
At the grand re-opening of Klown Kamp at Camp Sparking Lake — long “closed due to death curse” — many a wannabe clown meets his maker in a grisly manner, such as a seltzer bottle full of face-melting acid. Naturally, the debut film from the directorial team of Daniel Valdez and Philip Gunn is primarily…

And we all shine on
Oklahoma Gazette photographer Shannon Cornman has compiled some of her favorites for this holiday season in this photo essay. While it can’t beat the real deal, gazing upon these pages is a worthy alternative if you’re more interested in staying warm and saving gas. Enjoy. —Rod Lott
Metal turnstile
Black-metal band Abigail Williams has been through enough members to fill an orchestra, which seems appropriate, given the symphonic twist on much of its songs. At this point, sole original member Ken Sorceron doesn’t even feel comfortable saying how many members currently are in the group, but they make it work. “I don’t even think…
Brevity, thy name is Sundance
In its continued celebration of stories, per Robert Redford’s introductory narration, the Sundance Institute has packaged seven acclaimed short films from its 2011 festival into one feature-length presentation. The results screen Thursday through Sunday at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, and as with many such loosely themed compilations, the results comprise a mixed bag.…

Horse Thief — Grow Deep, Grow Wild
Singer and ACM@UCO student Cameron Neal’s voice soon joins the mix, completing the band’s go-to sound as some bizarre, wonderful, northwest-by-way-of-The Cure alt-rock act. But if bands like Fleet Foxes and Blitzen Trapper write tunes that qualify as pastoral, then Horse Thief’s are best described as primal, full of lurking beasts and dark forests, as…
Dear Diaries
It takes a pretty confident band to tour before it’s even released a record. It takes an even more confident band to do so in a foreign country. Modern Rock Diaries is that band. The Oklahoma City act’s confidence comes from the painstaking effort put into its debut EP and the overwhelming light show that…
Faster, Dischordia! Kill! Kill!
Dischordia drummer Josh Fallin and guitarist Keeno — “I just go by Keeno, mostly. I’m kinda like Prince in that sense. Or Cher, maybe” — have been making metal long enough to weather the demise of four or five different bands, by their estimation. “Everybody’s cycled through, but we’ve always stayed,” said Keeno. So when…

He’s also the owner of a professional sports club, so he has a unique perspective on the recent NBA lockout. As a fan, Funk laments not having seen Kobe Bryant or LeBron James by this time of year. As an owner, he hates seeing revenue go down the toilet. But as a businessman, Funk can’t…

Like the Dickens
Director Hal Kohlman has delivered a solid take on a slightly retooled adaptation of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” penned by D. Lance Marsh, artistic director of TheatreOCU, who also stars as Ebenezer Scrooge. Devoid of friendship, love or charity, miserly businessman Scrooge is warned by the specter of his former business partner that if…

Romy Owens and Paul Mays didn’t plan on having their new exhibit, “31 Flavors,” focus on ice cream, but it was kind of meant to be.

Don’t be a Scrooge
Lyric Theatre presents an adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic that, through humor and poignancy, will delight even us professional Scrooges. It’s two hours of purely enjoyable theater. When working with such dreadfully familiar, albeit first-class, material as “A Christmas Carol,” the challenge for an adapter and director is to make the story fresh. Artistic director…

From Ugg to oomph
Specifically, I’m obsessed with fall/winter wear — namely boots. When that last bit of summer air vacates — and truthfully, even before that — I pull down the boxes of boots I’ve had my eye on all summer. As much as I love boots, I equally don’t love Uggs. It doesn’t matter how short or…
A cowboy Christmas
Yee-haw, cowboys and cowgirls! Time to don festive attire and celebrate the holidays in true cowboy fashion. An old-timey Western dance and dinner accompany Michael Martin Murphey’s annual Cowboy Christmas Ball, 7 p.m. Friday at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, 1700 N.E. 63rd.

Bad move, ‘Bad move’
Check my logic here: If a person opposes preventing X from happening, that person is not opposed to X happening. Because Rev. Kern opposes the ordinance banning discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, it seems as though he is not opposed to people being discriminated against on this basis. Why is codifying nondiscrimination a…
The 99 percent
Occupy OKC and the entire Occupy Wall Street movement have started a long-overdue discussion about the inequity of growing wealth disparity and economic injustice, with some OWS supporters even using the label “oligarchy” to describe the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans. It’s this type of language that could eventually stick and raise awareness. Along the…
Force? What force?
I read Kern’s letter and immediately thought, “WTF?” Is Kern a real person or a fictional character from a piece of homophobic literature? I’m a nonreligious person, but if I ever adopted a religion, I would like to believe that my chosen religion’s higher being would espouse love, tolerance, kindness, friendship and peace among my…

CFN Quotes of the Week
“[The Tulsa-based] The Gap Band were a handful. They turned up on the set of ‘Party Train’ in a white limo. They stumbled out of the limo, then one of the dudes bit the makeup woman on the ass. I got them to walk 15 feet twice, did a tracking shot, and then got them…
In the straw
In a state Republican Party straw poll released last week, Texas Congressman Ron Paul took a plurality of votes, with businessman Herman Cain placing second.

Well it appears that Hanson’s “MMMBop” gravy train is still rollin’ on down the tracks, as youngest sibling Zac (now 26, with two kiddos of his own) recently announced a forthcoming business venture that’s likely to make fans out of what’s likely the stingiest anti-Hanson niche in the market: old dudes. “It’s vital our fans…

He almost deserves a screen credit, what with a diner robbery, a nonlinear timeline, hyper-real dialogue peppered with pop-culture references, a genre-hopping jukebox of a soundtrack, liberal use of the word “fuck,” a supporting role by Bruce Willis, and even the MacGuffin of a mysterious case containing contents unknown.

And thank goodness he did! Otherwise, we’d have a world without “Blue Velvet.” Nominated for one Oscar, but deserving of so many more, the 1986 film makes a Blu-ray debut in a 25th-anniversary edition.
