The Nickel Ride / 99 and 44/100% Dead
Both from 1974, “99 And 44/100% Dead” and “The Nickel Ride” represent minor blips on the filmographies of their A-list directors — Robert Mulligan (“To Kill a Mockingbird”) and John Frankenheimer (“The Manchurian Candidate”), respectively — and for good reason: They’re decidedly average. In “Nickel,” Jason Miller plays a “warehouse manager” in the world of…

Blackthorn
Early in “Blackthorn,” I had to smile when the line “I can’t trust someone with no name” was uttered. Immediately, it brought to mind Clint Eastwood’s Man with No Name character from Sergio Leone’s “Dollars” trilogy — some of the best Westerns ever made. And “Blackthorn” is nothing if not a cinematic celebration of the…
Hugo
What is unexpected, however, is that this mash note comes in a rare outing for him: a family-friendly film based on a popular children’s book. Set in 1930s Paris, “Hugo” concerns Hugo Cabret (Asa Butterfield, “The Wolfman”), a young boy who keeps the clocks running in a sprawling train station. Orphaned and on his own,…

A simple man
Who doesn’t love a house party? Seattle singer/songwriter David Bazan certainly does; he’s played about 250 of them in the past four years. “I’ve got it down to a science. It’s different in a lot of ways, but it’s nice,” he said. “You can have a very gritty, authentic interaction with the people who really…
JV’s Fillin’ Station
“Punk rockers like three chords and the truth: That’s country music all over,” said Jay Vick, front man of JV’s Fillin’ Station. Vick cut his teeth in punk and metal bands, but a 1999 chance encounter with alt-country act Split Lip Rayfield tweaked his interest in exploring more traditional music forms. “It lit a fire…

With influences as far ranging as Neil Young to Pink Floyd, you could call My Morning Jacket many things. Its members hope “jam band” isn’t among them. “Yeah, there’s a bit of a freedom we have when we play together, and we aren’t rigid in how we play the songs … but I don’t understand…

Musical entity
Amid Gentle Ghost’s signature jarring, distorted, three-guitar assault, singer Seth McCarroll has to work extra hard to keep from getting drowned out. His close attention to storytelling detail and occasional bouts of shouting creates an aggressive tension with the Norman post-rock band’s especially loud style, which mimics some of the destructive domestic themes explored in…

Oklahomans have a love/hate relationship with ice. On one hand, we have devastating storms. On the other, we have the Oklahoma City Barons hockey team and ice rinks dotting the map, including a brand-new outdoor rink debuting Friday at the Festival Marketplace in Edmond. Running from noon to 10 p.m. daily, the rink aims to…

Father knows fire
“We smoke all our meats low and slow,” owner Steve Bryan said. “Brisket stays in for 14 hours.” He starts with a dry spice rub on the beef before roasting at a low, wood-fired temperature for a long time. The result: remarkably good barbecue. It’s a simple, but time-consuming formula that he’s perfected over many…

President Barack Obama is raising funds for his re-election campaign by hosting an all-star basketball game that will feature the likes of Oklahoma City Thunder star players Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.

How amusing it must be for a corporate lackey to sneer down on the little people below, demanding they get a job in an economy where 14 million Americans are unemployed. So what if Wall Street’s criminal schemes caused this nation to lose 30 percent of its wealth, resulting in countless cases of divorce, suicide…
