I was thinking about Elijah Woodthe other day, wondering what hadbecome of the heroic little hobbit whileI scrolled through movies on cable’s In-Demand channel. Unlike most of his“Lord of the Rings” co-stars, I couldn’trecall seeing Wood in anything since2003, when he finally threw the fabledring into the Fires of Mordor. Had hemade any movies since then?

Like cinematic kismet, my questionwas soon answered when “The OxfordMurders” (2008) popped up on the In-Demand list — starring not only ElijahWood but the fabulous John Hurt, aswell. It was too much of a coincidenceto pass up.

Our story takes place at OxfordUniversity in England, where we meetdoctoral candidate Martin (Wood), anAmerican student who dreams ofworking on his thesis with renownedphilosophy professor Arthur Seldom(Hurt). Seldom is famous at Oxford forhis controversial theories about thenature of truth: He believes thatmathematics is the only thing in theuniverse that can be proven without adoubt. Numbers never lie, but peoplealways do.

Martin would do anything to beclose to Seldom; he’s even managed torent a room at the home of Seldom’ssister-in-law Mrs. Eagleton (Anna

Massey) and his cranky, bitter nieceBeth ( Julie Cox), in the hope that itwill bring him closer to his idol.

But when Martin arrives at Oxford,he is crushed to learn that Seldom nolonger teaches. The crusty old sage isfocused on writing and selling booksnow and has no time for peskystudents. Although Martin begsSeldom to be his mentor, the old manrefuses to speak to him — until he andMartin discover Mrs. Eagleton’s deadbody in her home.

The old woman, already sufferingfrom terminal cancer, was murdered. Astrange mathematical clue was left atthe scene, along with a promise that it’sthe first of several math-relatedmurders to come.

Determined to find Mrs. Eagleton’skiller, Seldom takes the bait, with amore-than-willing Martin as hissidekick. As the murders and mathclues pile up, Martin is thrilled that hisdream of working with Seldom is backon track. Unfortunately, the resultsaren’t quite what he had hoped for.

Critics weren’t too kind to “The

Oxford Murders,” citing a slow pace.While this cerebral murder mystery is abit talky and not quite as zippy as thestandard Hollywood murder tale, it’sstill full of low-key tension and keepsyou guessing about the murderer’sidentity until the end.

Kiko de la Rica’s cinematography issuperb, and Spanish director (and co-screenwriter) Alex de la Iglesia makessure all that math talk is understandableto a non-math audience, while creatinga creepy atmosphere throughout.

Although audiences haven’t seenmuch of Wood since “Rings,” they’vebeen able to hear a lot of him; Woodhas provided the voice for animatedcharacters in “9,” “The Legend ofSpyro” and “Beyond All Boundaries,”and is set to do more voice-over workin three upcoming movies.

Most of Wood’s time has been takenup with Simian Records, the label hestarted in 2005. So far, Wood hasproduced several albums for alternativebands, with plans to focus more on themusic business than movies in thefuture. Here’s hoping he’ll find time toact again, as well. He’s only 29, with along career still ahead of him.

You can see Wood in “The OxfordMurders” (rated R for language and abrief sex scene) on cable’s In-Demand(channel one). Check it out!

Samantha Crain isunquestionably on a roll, butshe’s ambivalent about whatthat means.

“I guess I’m ‘excited,’ buthate using that term,” Crainsaid in a telephone interviewAug. 10.“It’s not that simplewhen you have put a lot ofwork into something. Artistsaccept things as they comeand are glad when recognitionhappens.”

Crain recently was featuredon National Public Radio’s“Weekend Edition” show,reviewed in the WashingtonPost and won the 2009Native American MusicAwards’ “Songwriter of theYear.” She has released twoLPs on Ramseur Records inthe last two years that havewon fans world-wide. Crainand her band are playing a setat the Dust Bowl ArtsMarket Festival on CampusCorner Saturday.

“Being on NPR is good forreaching a wider audience,”the former Shawnee residentand Choctaw Nation ofOklahoma-affiliated Crainsaid.“Growing up where Idid, there weren’t a lot ofoutlets for playing music.”

She remedied that bybecoming a musician withoutborders. Crain has beenplaying around the countrymostly non-stop for fouryears.

“I don’t even think of it astouring anymore,” she said.“We have breaks once inawhile, but I’m more or lesson the road all the time.”

With her band thatincludes Anne Lillis (drums)and Josh Timbrook (bass),Crain is sharing a bill with

Murder By Death in a set ofU.S. concerts this fall.

“Those shows are mainlyalong the eastern seaboard,”she said.“And we have oneperformance in Ontario at theCanadian Aboriginal MusicAwards Festival.”

Although Crain very muchconsiders herself part of theOklahoma arts community,she refuses to let thatdiminish influences she’sreceived elsewhere.

“Some people put up a walland solely label themselves asan Oklahoma artist,” she said.“I think that’s close-mindedand have no problemclaiming other hometownsaround the country.”

Crain has migrated tocities in Michigan, Oregonand Missouri, where she haslived for months at a time.

“Grand Rapids has a greatcommunity of people, and theweather is completelydifferent up there,” she said.“Portland is a good biking citywith lots of musicians, and St.Louis is someplace I feel reallycomfortable.”

Essentially, Crain has beenmaking America herneighborhood.

“I know the roads, grocerystores, places to eat and the

bars I like,” she said.Travel actually was Crain’s

first goal. Her passion formusic and being able to makea living playing it trails thewanderlust.This constantmental, emotional and artisticstimulation from new localeshas undoubtedly contributedto the freshness of her songwriting. Crain’s lyrics arecomplex without beingcryptic.They’re poetic, whileavoiding sappiness.

“Sometimes people tell methat a song affected them acertain way, which hadnothing to do with what Iwas writing about,” she said.“I think that’s all right. It’sOK if people make my songstheir own. I’ll still have mypersonal thing in it.”

On Crain’s newest album,“You (Understood),” there’s asong titled “Santa Fe.” It’sabout one of her adoptedneighborhoods in the Land ofEnchantment.

“Last summer, I had ashort romance with a LakotaSioux guy out in Santa Fe,”she said.“He lived in thiswarehouse with a bunch ofother painters and sculptors. Ifell in love with the city, beingout there a lot.” She describedthe town accurately. “It’s oneof the few places I can go inthe U.S. and feel like I’m in adifferent country,” she said.“Ithas a magical feel to it. I’mvery attached to Santa Fe, feel

strange when I leave andexcited to come back.”

Her love for the place andperson is distilled into thefour-minute long song.

“I’m having fun,” Crainsaid.“We’ve had to makesome adjustments for that,like only traveling bluehighways.” She travels withher band in a truck and trailer.

“We don’t take Interstates,”she said.“This has to be asustainable life for me, and Ican’t do that just seeing Wal-Marts and eating fast food.”

She described the joy ofvisiting national forests andstopping for an hour or two inrandom towns to ride herbicycle around.

“We have to get up earlierso we won’t be late for gigs,”Crain said.“But it’s complete-ly worth it, jumping intorivers, seeing places youwouldn’t otherwise andmeeting people who willactually talk to you.”

“Everybody’s Fine” is adrama about the Goodefamily. Since the passing ofhis wife eight months ago,Frank has lost touch withhis four grown children.For the first time since hiswife’s death, he plans afamily gathering at hishouse, only to discover thatall of his kids cancelled atthe last minute. So, in aneffort to stay in touch withhis kids, he travels by trainand bus all over the countryto surprise them, one at atime.

Plus,Frank was keeping a secretof his own: He was

traveling against hisdoctor’s orders to stayhome and enjoy retirementin his garden.

The intrigue of thetroubled brother, mixedwith Frank’s attempt tostraighten out the lies toldby the rest of the Goodechildren really made thisstory interesting.

In addition, the film-makers used an intriguingcombination of flashbackand imagination, so Frankcould have conversationswith his children as heremembered them whenthey were young, whiletalking to them as adults.This helped him figure outthat there was somethingwrong with one of his kids,and figure out the reasonsbehind the lies from therest of his kids.

While surrounded byacquaintances at arestaurant in Japan,University of Oklahomastudent Russell Kabir hadan epiphany that ultimatelybrought him back toplaying live music.

As he looked at the facesaround him, he realizedthat the only reason he waswith these people at thatmoment was because amusician in Japan heardhim cover one of her songson YouTube. At that point,he pondered just howpowerful an impact musichas on people.

“It was an overwhelm-ing feeling that musicbrings people together,” hesaid.

Upon his return to theUnited States, Kabir begancontacting venues where hecould play.

He began seeing regularshows at Michelangelo’sCoffee and Wine Bar,Othello’s, Borders andCafé Plaid. He alsobecame an active memberof the SongWritersAssociation of Norman, orSWAN.

His latest quest forperformances led him to anopportunity to share thestage with one of hischildhood idols. Kabir willopen for Ben Kweller andEarly Beat during the freeshow 8 p.m. today on the

east lawn of the OUcampus.

“One of his songs is oneof the first I learned to playon guitar,” Kabir said aboutKweller, noting that hedidn’t learn guitar until hewas a junior in high school.

His love for music,though, came at an earlierage, starting while singingin the choir at his Catholicschool in Oklahoma City,an odd place for him tolearn, he commented, sincehis father was Muslim andhis mother was Methodist.

As an eighth grader,Kabir formed a band witha few friends called WorldWithout End.

“We were all right,”Kabir said before listing the

many accomplishments ofthe band, including beingwinners several times atbattle of the bands andplaying numerous gigs.

By 11th grade, Kabirfocused more on being asolo musician.

He learned guitar andbegan soaking up knowl-edge from those well-versed in music and themusic industry.

He took guitar classes athis high school, workedwith a friend’s dad whowas involved in a Celticband and began listeningto talented guitarists suchas Tommy Emmanuel.

As a freshman incollege, Kabir kept hisdormmates entertained

with his music. He alsostarted focusing on whathis music was saying.

“I did a lot of writingback then,” said Kabir, whowas published for the firsttime in college.

But school soon caughtup with him. Pursuing azoology and Asian studiesdouble major with amedical humanities minor,music went on thebackburner to studies.Thatwas the case until his tripto Japan.

These days, Kabir servesas president of the JapaneseStudent Association, wherehe hosts regular Japannights. Kabir, who speaksfluent Japanese, is a regularperformer at theseoccasions. He even has afavorite Japanese band —Spitz.

Kabir was a featuredartist on SWAN’s firstcompilation album releasedin June 2010. He alsofinished recording his EPtitled “In Fieri,” Latin for athing commenced, but notcompleted.The album,featuring four of Kabir’ssongs, will be on saletonight for $5.

Kabir said when it

comes to his music, he is“hell-bent” on throwing inthe virtuoso side of guitarplaying.

“I’m striving for thisbalance between it beingmentally stimulating forme to play and for me tosing and for people tohear,” he said.

His songwriting processis ever-changing and is amystery even to him.Sometimes the melodiesand music come first,sometimes lyrics comefirst. He can work witheither.

As for the future for thisaspiring artist, Kabir saidhe is at a crossroads.

Entering the fallsemester of his last year incollege, Kabir will apply tomedical school this year.He also is applying for aprogram that will allowhim to teach English inJapan or work at theAmerican Embassy, and heis applying to be aFulbright Scholar.

“I’m applying to all thesethings and seeing whatsticks,” Kabir said.

Music, however, willcontinue to be a constantin his life.

Kabir shares stage with Kweller

FYI Russell Kabir will appear 8 p.m. today, opening forEarly Beat and Ben Kweller for a free concert on theeast lawn at the University of Oklahoma. Kabir will sellhis album “In Fieri” for $5.

my attention immediately. Howev-er, I will say that, based on thepreviews that I saw, I was expectinga different kind of film. It was just abit more dramatic and less comedicthan I remember it being presentedin previews.There is a moment ortwo in the film that will definitelypull at your heartstrings.

Other cast members includeDrew Barrymore, Kate Beckinsaleand Sam Rockwell as Frank’schildren.

One thing I loved about theperformances in this film was that,even though all of the kids led verydifferent lives with differentpersonalities, you could see theinfluence of their father in each ofthem.

Special features on the DVDinclude a slew of deleted or extendedscenes and “The Making Of PaulMcCartney’s ‘(I Want To) ComeHome.’”The latter is a mix ofbehind the scenes footage andinterviews with McCartney andothers on how he came to beattached to the film, as well as hisprocess for creating the song for thefilm.

To find out what happened to themissing Goode son, and to see if thefamily ever comes together again,you’ll have to watch “Everybody’sFine” on DVD. You can find it inyour local store’s new releasessection.Please send your comments, ques-tions and DVD recommendations toKelsey [email protected].
