Both films earned 10 nominations, including nods for best picture, best director and best actress.</p> <p> </p> <p>Sandra Bullock nabbed the latter honor for her memorable portrayal of Dr. Ryan Stone, a fledgling astronaut who is stranded in space when a fast-travelling band of debris disables the shuttle that she and her colleagues launched in. The space junk not only renders the craft unusable, it kills every member of the crew with the exception of Stone and veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski (George Clooney).  Realizing the desperation of their situation, Stone and Kowalski decide to spacewalk to a nearby station in hopes of returning home. Their journey is dangerous because they have limited oxygen, the orbiting debris will return, and there is no guarantee they can safely board the station.</p> <p> </p> <p>Cuarón often pulls his camera back to show how small the astronauts are in the vast expanse of space. The grandeur of the cinematography is reminiscent of “2001: A Space Odyssey,” but “Gravity” isn’t as slow moving as that epic.  </p> <p> </p> <p>As Stone and Kowalski attempt to save themselves, they encounter one horrifying situation after another, and the movie actually takes the tenor of an action film. This makes it exciting, but it also reduces the credibility. For most people, being lost in space would be horrifying enough. In “Gravity,” the predicament is compounded by an ever-increasing number of threats, some of which seem like overkill. Cuarón could have dialed the action back because Bullock, who has the movie’s biggest role, delivers a nuanced performance that invites empathy from viewers.</p> <p> </p> <p>The biggest drawback to watching “Gravity” on home video is the screen size most viewers will be saddled with. This is a visual film, and the sheer mass of theater screens will always offer the best presentation. Fortunately, advances in home theater equipment have allowed at least some people to create theater-like experiences at home. Those who have large screen TVs or projectors will get more from the film than those attempting to watch on a laptop or tablet. Those set up for Blu-ray 3D may even begin to approach the multiplex experience.</p> <p> </p> <p>Blu-ray and DVD extras include multiple making of features and a 22-minute documentary about the space debris that currently orbits our planet.</p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/nebraska.jpg" style="height:348px; width:625px" /></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Nebraska</strong></p> <p><strong>3½ stars<br /> Rated R for some language<br /> Paramount<br /> Available on: Blu-ray, DVD, digital download and on demand</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>Director Alexander Payne is one of today’s most exciting filmmakers, and he continues to impress with “Nebraska,” a compelling black-and-white dramedy about an elderly man convinced he’s become a millionaire.</p> <p> </p> <p>The movie opens with Woody Grant (Bruce Dern) slowly shuffling down a busy road in Billings, Montana. When a police officer asks the white-haired man what he is doing, he says he is walking to Lincoln, Nebraska, where he plans to collect a $1 million sweepstakes prize. Concerned about the man’s safety, the officer takes Woody to the police station where his youngest son, David (Will Forte), retrieves him.</p> <p> </p> <p>David immediately recognizes his father’s sweepstakes letter as a scam, but Woody continues to demand a trip to Lincoln. Despite continued protestations by his mother, Kate (June Squibb), David agrees to drive his father to Nebraska. He hopes the trip will ease the old man’s mind, and he uses it as an opportunity for Woody to reconnect with relatives in his hometown of Hawthorne.</p> <p> </p> <p>As Woody reunites with long-lost friends and family, word spreads that he has struck it rich, causing a commotion that David is poorly equipped to handle. The strange circumstances also allow him to delve into his father’s past and understand the man in a new way.</p> <p> </p> <p>Payne tells his story at a leisurely pace, allowing plenty of time for his actors to develop their characters. This results in deeper-than-usual performances, two of which were rewarded by Oscar nominations. Dern is up for best actor and Squibb is nominated for best supporting actress.</p> <p> </p> <p>“Nebraska” also earned nominations for best picture, best director, best cinematography and best original screenplay, making it one of the top contenders at this year’s ceremony. Whether or not it turns any of the six nominations to gold, the film is a touching and worthwhile meditation on family ties and the way a man’s history is inextricably linked to his future.  </p> <p> </p> <p>The “Nebraska” DVD release has no extras. The Blu-ray has a making-of feature.</p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/Thor%20-%20Horizontal.jpg" style="height:258px; width:625px" /></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Thor: The Dark World</strong></p> <p><strong>3 stars<br /> Rated PG-13 for sequences of intense sci-fi action and violence, and some suggestive content<br /> Disney<br /> Available on: Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D, DVD, digital download and on demand</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>Marvel Comics is on a remarkable roll. Although superhero films seem custom made for bland, bombastic sequels, the publishing giant has done a superior job moving its brand forward by focusing on quality.</p> <p> </p> <p>The great thing about Marvel’s comic book movies is the company seems to realize that dazzling special effects and colossal action sequences mean nothing unless tied to a good story. Whether trotting out the web-slinging adventures of Spider-Man, the high-flying antics of Iron Man or the multi-character drama of the Avengers, Marvel directors attempt to foster an emotional bond between characters and their audience.</p> <p> </p> <p>Of course, the quality of the Marvel movies varies by degree. If we use “The Avengers” as the gold standard, “Thor: The Dark World” is a solid, mid-tier entry. The movie, like its predecessor, focuses on a beefy, blonde hero based on the Norse god of thunder.</p> <p> </p> <p>In the movies, Thor is not presented as a god, but as the denizen of a distant realm called Asgard. The people of this realm possess powers far greater than average humans, and they live for thousands of years. This presents something of a problem for Thor (Chris Hemsworth) who fell in love with the human scientist Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) in his first cinematic outing. </p> <p> </p> <p>In early scenes, “Dark World” director Alan Taylor establishes Thor’s greatness as a warrior (even by the standards of Asgard) and the fact that his heart remains with Jane. Despite this, the hero sticks to his own realm until he receives word that Jane has gone missing. This prompts a return to Earth, where Thor discovers that Jane has been exposed to a strange, otherworldly element known as the Aether. Further investigation shows that the Aether has awakened an ancient evil determined to use the element to plunge the universe into eternal darkness.  </p> <p> </p> <p>Armed with this information, Thor attempts to protect Jane while finding a way to destroy the Aether and those who would wield its evil power. The astoundingly high stakes even prompt Thor to request help from his treacherous brother, Loki (Tom Hiddleston). This is a nice twist considering that Loki was the primary villain in both the first Thor movie and “The Avengers.” The plotting is complex for a comic book movie, and that adds to the enjoyment, although it does take time to tune into the film’s intricacies.</p> <p> </p> <p>Hemsworth has rapidly become a major star, and he is perfectly cast as Thor. His flowing hair and bulging muscles make him completely believable as an otherworldly hero, and his sharp, theatrical diction add to the character’s mystique. Hiddleston is, as always, a blast as Loki, and Taylor uses his impressive supporting cast wisely. Portman, Anthony Hopkins, Idris Elba, Rene Russo, Kat Dennings and Stellan Skarsgård play central roles in the plotting, and each actor does a nice job.</p> <p> </p> <p>Taylor, who inherited the Thor franchise, maintains the tone set by director Kenneth Branagh in the original movie, but he avoids the redundancies that plague many sequels. “The Dark World” advances the key characters by placing them in challenging, new situations. This allows viewers to connect while setting the stage for future installments to the still-promising franchise.   </p> <p> </p> <p>Blu-ray and DVD extras include a feature about the film score, a bit about the relationship between Thor and Loki, deleted scenes, a gag reel and an audio commentary with Taylor, Hiddleston, producer Kevin Feige and cinematographer Kramer Morgenthau.</p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/bluemovie.jpg" style="height:425px; width:625px" /></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Blue is the Warmest Color</strong></p> <p><strong>3 stars<br /> Rated NC-17 for explicit sexual content<br /> Criterion Collection<br /> Available on: Blu-ray, DVD, digital download and on demand</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>Writer-director Abdellatif Kechiche has received considerable acclaim for “Blue Is the Warmest Color,” his film adaptation of Julie Maroh’s like-titled graphic novel. The movie, like the book, focuses on the sexual awakening of a French high school girl who begins a passionate relationship with a slightly older woman from a nearby college. </p> <p> </p> <p>The film, presented in French with English subtitles, was the darling of the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Palm d’Or. It also generated controversy when lead actresses Adèle Exarchopoulos and Léa Seydoux complained that Kechiche had them working under nearly intolerable conditions, including 10 grueling days devoted to a single explicit sex scene. That sequence, which lasts approximately seven minutes and features footage of Exarchopoulos and Seydoux in nearly every imaginable lesbian sex position, also drew criticism from a handful of viewers, most notably Maroh. She described the sequence as alternately surgical and pornographic, and her comments are fair.</p> <p> </p> <p>The movie was released with an NC-17 in the United States, and the nudity and sex is so prevalent and graphic that at least portions of the picture could pass for soft-core pornography. That said, the film is also beautifully shot and thoroughly engaging on a dramatic level, making it a fascinating mix of high art and eroticism. </p> <p> </p> <p>“Blue” begins by introducing viewers to Adèle (Exarchopoulos), a teenager who studies literature, hangs out with friends and spends evenings with her loving parents. It’s a typical teen life until she meets Emma (Seydoux), a confident and artsy lesbian drawn in by Adèle’s intelligence and beauty. Not long after they meet, the two begin a fiery affair punctuated by the lengthy sex scenes.</p> <p> </p> <p>Although the sex has drawn most of the headlines, “Blue” is at its best when Adèle and Emma have their clothes on. That’s because they have a relationship most anyone – male or female – can relate to. What starts as an inferno, slowly loses steam and becomes routine. This, and the creeping evils of jealousy, threaten to undo an otherwise remarkable romance.</p> <p> </p> <p>Exarchopoulos and Seydoux give earthy, restrained performances that allow viewers to crawl inside their heads. Although neither actress received an Oscar nomination, both were considered contenders, and they received considerable attention from critics’ groups early in the awards season.</p> <p> </p> <p>Despite its beauty, “Blue” has flaws, most due to Kechiche’s excesses. The movie runs three hours yet leaves several dangling plot threads, all exacerbated by the director’s failure to adequately represent time. For instance, the movie transitions Adèle and Emma from youthful, clandestine lovers to an established couple in a matter of minutes, but it is impossible for audiences to know how much time has passed. Neither actress appears to age during the course of the film, yet it is obvious that years have gone by. Even more troubling is the fact that Kechiche never shows Adèle coming out to her parents, although he takes considerable time to establish their importance to her life. Likewise, Adèle’s high school friends are given screen time early in the film, but they are all but abandoned as she begins her relationship with Emma.</p> <p> </p> <p>Obviously, a movie can’t tie every dangling thread, but Kechiche could have done better. In fact, he could have gained five or six minutes just by trimming the gratuitous sex scenes to a reasonable length. One might argue that the graphic sexual encounters are necessary to “Blue’s” storytelling, but this doesn’t wash. Director Ang Lee delivered an even more powerful meditation on gay relationships in “Brokeback Mountain,” and his sex scenes were just long enough to establish the depth of his characters’ love.</p> <p> </p> <p>Because of Kechiche’s excesses, “Blue” is not the masterpiece Cannes voters would like us to believe. It is, however, a beautifully acted, coming-of-age story that asks viewers to think about love and the many ways it manifests itself.</p> <p> </p> <p>“Blue is the Warmest Color” is a bare bones release, with extras limited to an essay by critic B.

sallow-skinned teenagers hold hands and kiss beneath fluorescent lights; burly men sip Budweiser from plastic cups, chuckling softly.  Though rapt with curiosity, I am lamentably lost within this subculture and outright ashamed that my only exposure to the feminist sport remains “Whip It”—the 2009 indie flick directed by Drew Barrymore, which highlights banked track derby in Austin, Texas.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Like Nascar drivers, derby girls only turn left; unlike Nascar, however, this sport requires teamwork and contact.  Women on quads (as opposed to in-line) rocket around the Pershing Center’s freshly swept flat track.  This May evening in Lincoln, No Coast defeats the Sioux City Roller Dames: 227 - 152. </p> <p>  </p> <p> Void of campy “boutfits” popularized in Texas—like risqué schoolgirl uniforms complete with fishnet stockings—the No Coast Derby Girls skate comfortably in fitted black jerseys and shorts with black tights.  Offering serious athletic entertainment of a higher caliber, No Coast women embody the mentality that strong is sexy.  But sex appeal isn’t what these women want to sell.  No Coast team member, Kilda Messenger #10 explains, “It doesn’t occur to [the public] that these women who play derby set your bones in the ER or teach your kids math during the day – derby is a sport, not a show.”</p> <p>  </p> <p> Lanky, thick, tall, spritely, tough and strong, graceful and nimble, oftentimes tattooed.  Soft-spoken.  Loud.  Always opinionated and articulate.  Some women in their20s, some in their 30s. By day, they are students, artists, animal lovers, and mothers.  Derby is their binding force. </p> <p>  </p> <p> With few exceptions, these women do not get paid to skate and tumble.  The speedy full-contact sport can be dangerous—broken bones or teeth, torn ligaments and sprains—but each woman volunteers her time and body for the love of derby.  Stated best on the website, “The <a href="http://nocoastderbygirls.com/web/?page_id=2">No Coast Derby Girls</a> is a skater-owned and operated nonprofit organization built on the foundation that through hard work, determination, and dedication anything is possible…even the resurrection of roller derby!”</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/3NoCoast.JPG" style="width: 600px; height: 479px; " /></p> <p>  </p> <p> Current executive director and team captain, Kelly Ripa-Nipalov #00, discovered derby during the summer of 2005 while managing a motorcycle dealership in town.  Friendly with a female mechanic, Ripa noticed that her coworker was limping one day and asked, “What happened?”</p> <p>  </p> <p> “Roller Derby,” was the response. “You should play.”</p> <p>  </p> <p> Spurred into action, and undeterred by probable injury, Ripa skated that summer for the first time since elementary school.  Derby hooked her instantaneously, providing new direction and focus for her life.  But this newborn team still needed skaters and serious structure.  Rising to the challenge, Ripa began to strategize.  Road trips to fellow flat track facilities, such as the Excel Center in St. Paul, Minn., offered inspirational models for derby pioneers in Lincoln.  In just a few weeks, the No Coast Derby Girls emerged as a unified league.  Ripa illuminates, “It’s a group of women, with no outside help, who have created this thing called roller derby… we literally created something from nothing and are still finding success [in Lincoln] seven years later.”</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/4NoCoast.JPG" style="width: 600px; height: 400px; " /></p> <p>  </p> <p> 2012 is a rookie season for some, like Chanel No. Die #5, blocker for the Road Warriors.   Chanel admits her favorite derby moment was, “Telling my boyfriend in the middle of a fast food restaurant that I had passed my assessment.”  She, like so many women, went to the first practice because she “wanted to see what all the fuss was about.”</p> <p>  </p> <p> Now an official member of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA), No Coast currently recruits and trains two full rosters of powerhouse derby girls – seasoned athletes like Brooke N Hearts #37 skate in the top division, the No Coast Mad Maxines, whereas newbies like Ivanna PoundHer #2time begin their No Coast career as Road Warriors.</p> <p>  </p> <p> When asked what brought her to the first recruitment, Road Warrior, Stella Riot #901 clearly states, “A whole lot of nerves.”  Stella brings her “two young future derby girls” to practices or bouts—with signs boasting “RIOT CREW”—and finds that skating has become a fun group activity.  She too believes costume skating does the sport a disservice and prefers to keep the game athletic and family friendly.</p> <p> <img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/5NoCoast.JPG" style="width: 600px; height: 448px; " /></p> <p>  </p> <p> Since their debut bout (game) in March 2006, which drew approximately 2,300 spectators, the No Coast Derby Girls are now recognized amongst the top 40 derby teams worldwide.  No small feat, considering there are over 150 active flat track leagues and most, like New York’s Gotham Girls, originate in cities with larger populations and more financial support.  But roller derby thrives, even in one of the smallest cities in the league like Lincoln (population just fewer than 260,000).  Ripa reflects upon the sport’s revival and local success, “[O]lder generations come because they remember the original roller derby.  [N]ewer generations are drawn to the fast-paced, physical action.”</p> <p>  </p> <p> And the fans—their interest, investment, and eventual participation—are what make this sport possible.  “We have a TON of families and kids that come out and stay to the very end to cheer us on,” Stella Riot explains.  “Kids freakin’ love derby and they are the future of this sport – both girls and boys.  I have a feeling I will be skating with some of these young fans and it will be a very empowering experience on both sides.  Love derby.”</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Author Bio:</strong><br /> <em>Anna Elizabeth Mazzariello is a contributing writer at</em> Highbrow Magazine.</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/roller-derby" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Roller Derby</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/no-coast-derby-girls" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">No Coast Derby Girls</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/lincoln" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Lincoln</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/nebraska" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Nebraska</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/whip-it" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Whip It</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/athletics" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">athletics</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/sports" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">sports</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/roller-skate" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">roller skate</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/nascar" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Nascar</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-author field-type-text field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Anna Elizabeth Mazzariello </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-pop field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Popular:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">not popular</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-photographer field-type-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Photographer:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Shayna Zelko Kalish</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-bot field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Bottom Slider:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Out Slider</div></div></div> Thu, 12 Jul 2012 01:24:38 +0000 tara 1238 at https://www.highbrowmagazine.com https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/1282-roller-derby-mania-no-coast-derby-girls-sweep-lincoln#comments
