SI Country FestMusic festival; Oct. 5-7;World Shooting andRecreation Complex inSparta; featuring TimMcGraw, Dierks Bentley,Trace Adkins, Little BigTown, Colt Ford, LoCashCowboys and more; single-day tickets range from$40 to $100 in advanceand $50 to $100 at thegate

Trace Adkins comesacross as a burly,neighborly type willing

to drop everything he’sdoing to help a person inneed. He embodies theblue-collar stereotype — aman not afraid to workand get his hands dirty.

The 50-year-old withthe golden baritone voicehas survived a wreck thatbroke both his arms and aleg, a devastating kneeinjury that ended hiscollegiate football careerand being shot throughboth lungs by an ex-wifeon his way to becomingone of the most prolific hitmakers in the countrymusic industry thiscentury.

Adkins is best known fortunes like “You’re GonnaMiss This,” “Ladies LoveCountry Boys,” “(ThisAin’t) No Thinkin’ Thing,”the solemn militarytribute “Arlington” andfun loving romps “HonkyTonk Badonkadonk” and“Hillbilly Bone,” a duetwith Blake Shelton.

In August, Adkinscreated a national buzzwhen he sang the patrioticanthem of hope, “ToughPeople Do,” in public forthe first time at a liveshow in Florida.Reminding listeners of themany times Americanshave repeatedly risen tothe challenge duringdifficult times, he sings“tough times don’t last,tough people do.”

Demand for the songwas so intense and a copywas quickly released todigital retailers over theLabor Day weekend. Thetune will be included onan upcoming Adkinsalbum.

“I’m just really proud ofthe song, and to me, thesong says sometimes we

need to be reminded ofwho we are, where wecame from and about whatour history is,” Adkinsrecently told ABC NewsRadio. “We’ve made itthrough tougher timesthan this.”

A proven hit-maker fornearly two decades,Adkins will join TimMcGraw and DierksBentley as the superstarheadliners for biggestcountry music concertevent in the history ofSouthern Illinois.

The Southern IllinoisCountry Festival will beOct. 5-7 at the WorldShooting and RecreationalComplex in Sparta andwill feature the big three,plus Little Big Town, ColtFord, Corey Smith,LoCash Cowboys, CaseyJames and The Farm.

Chatting with the singeron his bus in the CooCoo’s parking lot inCarterville in 1993, it washard to envision that

McGraw would become acountry music icon. Lessthan 100 customers hadpaid to see his show.

His meteoric accent,however, started with the1994 release of “IndianOutlaw,” and he would topthe Billboard charts morethan 20 times with hitslike “Live Like You WereDying,” “My Best Friend,”“My Next Thirty Years,”“Something Like That”and “It’s Your Love,” aduet with his wife FaithHill.

A sure bet to one dayenter the Country MusicHall of Fame, McGrawreleased 11 consecutivealbums that debuted atNo. 1 on the Billboardalbums charts. His trophycase is packed with 11Country MusicAssociation awards, 14from the Academy of

Country Music and threeprestigious GrammyAwards.

Bentley is the architectof the new way to launch acountry music career. Heelected to first playsmaller venues in majorcollege towns to establisha solid base among thedemographic most likelyto purchased his productbefore taking his show tomajor arenas.

The Arizona native hitthe top of the charts withdebut single “What Was IThinkin’,” and follow-upslike “Come A LittleCloser,” “Every Mile AMemory” and “Free AndEasy (Down The Road IGo).”

Dredd 3D *Rated R for strong bloodyviolence, language, druguse and some sexualcontent; starring KarlUrban, Olivia Thirlby, LenaHeadey and Wood Harris;directed by Pete Travis;opening Friday atShowPlace 8 inCarbondale and AMCCentre 8 in Marion

BY ROGER MOOREMCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS

In the movies, the oldsaying goes, some starswear the hat. Andsometimes, the hat wearsthem.

Say whatever else youwant about SylvesterStallone’s kitschy 1995turn as futuristic comicbook judge-jury-executioner Judge Dredd,the dude wore the helmet.Karl Urban replaces him inthe new “Dredd 3D.” Andfrankly, the helmet wearsKarl.

He never takes off theover-sized thing. It closesoff his performance andmasks his charisma. Weonly see his scowling jawand hear his hissed one-liners, chewing out therookie mind-reading judge(Olivia Thirlby) whoforgets to wear hers.

“Sir, helmets interferewith my psychic abilities.”

“Think a bullet in thehead might interfere with’em more,” the Judgemutters.

In a future when muchof America is irradiatedand 800 million people arecrammed into MegaCity,the concrete metropolisthat stretches from Boston to Washington,tens of thousands arepacked into mega

high-rises, many at themercy of mega criminals.

The judges are all thatstand in the way ofanarchy.

They’re wired-in, hi-tech hunter/ prosecutor/killers, men and womenwho solve (sort of) crimes,catch criminals and doleout punishment, on thespot.

The death penalty istheir favorite.

There’s a new drugmaking the rounds. Therealways is. “Slo Mo,” it’scalled, and Ma-Ma is thedrug lord who has it. LenaHeadey (“300”) plays herin a performance thatbegins and ends with theflashy scar-riddledmakeup.

When Dredd and the“mutant” psychic judge-in-training, Anderson(Thirlby), nab one of Ma-Ma’s thugs (Wood Harris),

of course you know thismeans war.

This “Dredd” is a limitedvision of the future,mainly confined to onetowering, rundown high-rise. Judge Dredd andAnderson and theirprisoner must fight theirway out of this building,which Ma-Ma’s minionshave on lockdown. Thiscould have beenclaustrophobic, an actionepic in compact form.“Die Hard” and last year’sIndo-Australian thriller“The Raid” are versions ofthis set-up that work.

With “Dredd 3D,” youget only a taste of that asthe judges blaze their waythrough Ma-Ma’smurderers and supposedlyinnocent bystanders andawait the back-up thatseems awfully slow incoming.

The 3-D here is used to

greatest effect in slow-motion shootings,impalings and throatslashings — blood-on-the-lens stuff. The villainis poorly drawn. The scriptlets her down, and Headeyjust isn’t “big” enough, inpersona, performance andpresence, to suggest amurderous monster whoruthlessly slashed andintimidated her way to thetop.

Thirlby is sensitive andcute as ever, funny whenshe has to be. She needsmore to do.

And Urban — so droll asDr. McCoy in the “StarTrek” reboot, so sinister inas Black Hat in “Priest,” soworthy a foe for BruceWillis in “Red” — is lostbehind that big ol’ helmet.

That conspires to renderthe mega violent megasatire of MegaCity megaboring.

‘Dredd 3D’ is a boring flop

STUDIOKarl Urban and Olivia Thirlby star in ‘Dredd 3D,’ a remake of 1995’s ‘Judge Dredd’ by directorPete Travis. The film opens Friday at ShowPlace 8 in Carbondale and AMC Centre 8 in Marion.



STUDIO

‘House at the End of the Street’Jennifer Lawrence stars in ‘House at the End of the Street,’the new movie from director Mark Tonderai. The movie tellsthe story of a mother and daughter who move to a newtown and find themselves living next door to the site of abrutal murder that saw a young girl kill her parents. Whenthe daughter befriends the surviving son of the otherfamily, things take a turn for the worse. Max Thieriot andElisabeth Shue co-star. The movie, which opens Friday atShowPlace 8 in Carbondale and AMC Centre 8 in Marion, israted PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and terror,thematic elements, language, some teen partying and briefdrug material. It was not screened for review.

End of Watch ***Rated R for strongviolence, some disturbingimages, pervasive languageincluding sexualreferences, and some druguse; starring JakeGyllenhaal, Michael Pena,Anna Kendrick, AmericaFerrera, Natalie Martinezand Cody Horn; directed byDavid Ayer; opening Fridayat ShowPlace 8 inCarbondale and AMCCentre 8 in Marion.


The writer of “TrainingDay” and “Harsh Times”brings us more cop moviegrit with “End of Watch,” avivid series ofimpressionistic sketches ofa year in the lives of twoLos Angeles police officers.

These aren’t the corruptcops writer-director DavidAyer built his name on.They’re just patrolmen, ina family of officers —sometimes heroic, oftencocky, occasionallymiscalculating. And intelling their storiesepisodically, with a rhythmthat builds suspenseslowly, Ayer gets at thelevel of trust they have tohave for one another andthe meaning of that oldcop movie cliche — “Hetook a bullet for me.”

Brian Taylor (JakeGyllenhaal) and MikeZavala (Michael Pena) maybe young, but they’ve beenpartners so long they’relike an old married couple— comically bickering,teasing, picking at eachother’s sore spots. Brian isthe single one, theambitious one. He wantsto make detective. He’swilling to take a shortcutor two to get there.

Mike is more blue collar— happily married, a

father, happy to be wherehe is in the force. But theuniform hasn’t taken thechip off his shoulder. Callhim the wrong name whenhe’s arresting you and it’s“Go time.”

Over the course of a year,we see the shiftingfortunes of their lives,shootings that have to bejustified by theirdepartment, and a steadilyescalating violence thatspills over the border fromMexico, whose ruthlessdrug cartels deal in “dope,money and guns — all themajor food groups.”

Mike and Brian findthemselves stumbling intomore and more cartelbusiness as their yearpasses them by.

Gyllenhaal brings aswashbuckling bravado toBrian, a guy who issomething of a playerwhen it comes to theladies. He’s not abovehooking up with groupies(“Badge Bunnies”), butmight be tempted whensomebody special (likeAnna Kendrick) comesalong.

Mike has matured indifferent ways, clinging tojuvenile neighborhoodnotions of “respect,” butadult enough to know lovewhen he sees it.

Ayer’s film begins with along lull: 45 minutes ofprocedure, depiction of thecop community (AmericaFerrara and Cody Horn arefellow officers) and lighttouches. The police arebilingual, by necessity,aware of where they canmake a difference andwhen they need to walkaway. The calls theyanswer range from fires tomissing children, loudparties to “shots fired —officer down.”

The banter between ourtwo heroes is easy,informal, with goofymoments of the sort ofrace-baiting that only twoclose friends could getaway with. It’s allunderlined with “I loveyou, man.”

They can joke aboutpulling a guy over andconfiscating a gold-platedassault rifle (“It’sLiberace’s AK-47!”).

But we can sense what’scoming, even if they can’t.

Their guns are out oftheir holsters more, thethreat of violence gatherslike clouds over the city.

Ayer resorts to thatfavorite crutch of currentfilmmakers — the hand-held video recorder (Brianis doing a video project forhis night school class), butis so inconsistent with itthat he abandons thatpoint of view in mid-scene.

What he manages mostmasterfully here is thedrip-drip-drip of risingtension, a build-up thatleaves you with a sense ofdread even as you watchcharacters enjoy the off-duty joys of life — aquinceanera party, a medalceremony.

And Pena and Gyllenhaalso fully inhabit these well-rounded characters thatyou worry for them, worryabout what they’ll do onthis day or night whenthey climb into theircruiser, and what willbecome of them by the endof this watch.

Two cops worry about what will come by the ‘End of Watch’

Trouble with the Curve **1/2

Rated PG-13 for language,sexual references, somethematic material and smoking;starring Clint Eastwood, AmyAdams, Justin Timberlake andJohn Goodman; directed byRobert Lorenz; opening Friday atShowPlace 8 in Carbondale andAMC Centre 8 in Marion


“Trouble with the Curve” is abaseball dramedy thattelegraphs its pitches, an

amiable, meandering characterstudy whose big plot pointshang there like the curveballs ofits title. We see them coming along time before they cross theplate.

It has the faded twinkle oflate-period Clint Eastwood,rasping through anothercurmudgeon role — embracing,one more time, his role asAmerica’s Coot. The film has itscharm, but it’s neither asgraceful nor as spare as a movieEastwood himself would havedirected.

Clint plays a chatty old cussnamed Gus Lobel, legendary

scout for the Atlanta Braves. Hisboss (John Goodman) ticks offthe superstars he discoveredand insists “Gus could spottalent from an airplane.”

But America’s Team’s greatestscout is an anachronism, a“feel” and “sound” guy in anage of computer-accessiblestatistics. And he’s losing hissight. The new punk in theclubhouse (Matthew Lillard of“The Descendants”) wants himput out to pasture.

Gus has an ambitious, flintyand blunt daughter (AmyAdams), a 33-year-old lawyernot unlike him. She’s gunning

for partnership in an Atlantafirm, has ambivalent (at best)feelings for the old man, but issomehow cajoled into joiningGus for one last spring scoutingtrip to the Carolinas. That feelscontrived because it is.

Justin Timberlake is a formerGus discovery now working as ascout for another organization.And Joe Massingill is thebrawny braggart of a highschool power hitter that they’reup there to watch.

Eastwood the director wouldhave slashed a lot of Gus’ drearyold-guy-out-of-touch-with-the-”Interwebs” jokes, his

retire and “play bingo, drinkinglittle umbrella drinks” cracks. Ittakes one scene to establish theprospect they’re scouting as aboor with no respect for thegame. A single bar visit with“the gang” of scouts wouldestablish their clichedcharacters.

But Randy Brown’s scriptrevisits the bars, the jerk-kid,time and again. It shows usmore games than we need tosee. It underlines“foreshadowing” with a magicmarker, adds “big secrets” torelationships and shoehorns insentimental slop.
