FEBRUARY 3-16, 2014P. 2

It’s like a punch to the face...but in a good way.

The holiday sea-son is over, and now that you have finished

with all your single player campaigns from Christmas, it is time to reconnect with friends and family.

What better way to do this than by playing couch co-ops? A “couch co-op” is a game where two or more players work together for a common goal offline on the same console.

Couch co-ops are great because there is nothing quite like the congratula-tory high five when you and a friend have beaten a challenging boss. Couch co-ops come in a variety of game play experiences—here are my top five rec-ommendations:

1. Minecraft(Xbox 360, PS3)

The console version of the game will support up to four players. In Survival Mode, you and your friends are tasked with making a shelter, gathering supplies and food.

And if that isn’t hard enough, as the virtual sun goes down, monsters will spawn, reeking havoc on your creations, which can range from simple dirt shelters to elaborate recreations of Westeros (the “Game of Thrones” world).

2. Portal 2(Xbox 360, PS3, PC)

In the two-player cam-paign, players take on the roles of two quirky little robots named P-Body and Atlas.

In this game, commu-nication is key in order to complete the puzzles

where precise timing is required.

While “Portal 2” is a shorter game that can easily be finished in a weekend, it does offer players a bit of a chal-lenge in some of the more complex test chambers.

One word of advice: try not to play this game too late at night. It’s a prob-lem when a friend dozes off while standing on a button that, in turn, sends your character soaring into a pit of spikes.

3. Left 4 Dead(Xbox 360, PC)

“Left 4 Dead” and its

sequel “Left 4 Dead 2” puts players in environ-ments ranging from urban settings to swampy marshes with few weap-ons and little ammo as they battle their way through hordes of zom-bies in order to reach the next safe zone.

One of the unique gameplay mechanics is the introduction of “The Director,” which ensures that no two playthroughs are the same, by block-ing paths and sending hordes of zombies at dif-ferent times with every campaign.

4. Little Big Planet (PS3)

In this is a family-

friendly puzzle plat-former you take control of a fully customizable “Sackboy” and navigate through various themed levels in traditional two-dimensional platforming style.

One of the draws to this game is that once you finish the main story-line, you can then explore community-created levels or even create your own levels that anyone can play.

The floaty jump mechanics of your char-acter take a bit to get used to, but that’s part of the fun and suspense. The end of levels are often filled with laughter and merriment or, in my case, friends talking about who was sacrificed in order to obtain one of the many col-lectibles scattered throughout the world.

5.) Borderlands (Xbox 360, PS3)

“ B o r d e r l a n d s ” and its sequel “Borderlands 2” cen-ter on taking missions around large, open envi-ronments. While not as

fast-paced as other shoot-ers, it offers plenty to see.

Did I mention the loot? There is tons of loot in

the game, plus thousands and thousands of weap-ons and shields.

Just be sure to pair up with a friend who doesn’t use the same weapons as you do, otherwise “friend-ly” arguments might ensue over the super rare weapon drops.

Whether you are shoot-ing zombies or jumping though dangerous levels, couch co-ops offer friends and families unique, interactive entertain-ment.

Now, go forth and game on.

Published bi-weekly by Beeville Publishing Co.

aturday night was my first time visiting Corpus Christi’s

live music venue Boneshakers, which is advertised as a dive bar—my favorite kind.

After hearing that there was a Ska band playing, this writer was even more happy to attend.

Accompanied by a friend, we both took seats in the back of the bar, eagerly awaiting the show to jump start the night.

Pretty soon, the band erupted on stage with the horns in full swing, send-ing vibrant, trumpeting tones through the enrap-tured crowd.

I’m pretty sure that ears can’t technically smile, but I think mine did.

The band was Los Skagaleros.

The band members, all between the ages of 24 and 27, are a diverse and fun-loving group of

“skags” who hail from such places as Edinberg, Pharr, McAllen and even from as far as Monterrey, Mexico.

The story of Los Skagaleros began when, through a mutual contact, Marco and Carmen start-ed jamming together.

Marco asked Carmen if she wanted to start a Ska band, and eventu-ally, from knowing each other in different capaci-ties, the whole band came together.

They chose their

name, ironically, based on the Spanish word “Cagaleros,” which, as explained to me, means people who are always just “messing” around and wasting time with their lives.

Out of the five boys and three girls, most of them have earned college degrees. Having been judged at times for hold-ing said degrees but not working “serious” jobs, they decided to call the band “Los SKA-galeros,” but they wanted to be a band that does something to prove the naysayers wrong.

They don’t just do some-thing—they say some-thing. This self-described “band for the people” delivers a brilliant mes-sage of social and gender equalities, animal rights and, from what I’ve gath-ered, just pure love for the masses in general.

Marco said after the show, “It’s just about put-ting something out there that’s positive. If we feel the vibe of (even) one per-son, then it’s worth it.”

Paradox Skamp, aka Adrienne, chimed in, “We’re actually here to raise vibrations... change the mood.”

Take some of their songs for instance, like “Short End of the Stick.” It’s about how women are objectified and held to impossible and unre-alistic beauty standards. And how anyone, male or female, might be treated as such, and how we should embrace and respect both genders.

“It’s Not Property, It’s Life” (aka the “Turtle Song”) opens with the lines – “Have you ever seen a turtle, and it’s tan-gled all in knots/You see it squirming, squirming, squirming/In fishing line, it’s caught” which show-cases the band’s compas-sion for all animal life.

There’s also my person-al favorite, “C*nt Love,” a song that tackles the issue of ‘girl-on-girl’ emotional and physical hate crimes.

The song explains that females need to stop see-ing each other as compe-tition and stop fighting, and instead start respect-ing each other and get on the same team already.

This one obviously hit home a little bit for me, but I digress…

With some of their immediate influences being VooDoo Glow Skulls, Streetlight Manifesto, Catch 22, and Red Hot Chili Peppers, the music itself was upbeat and punky with plenty of horns, great rhythms and bass lines and just plain something you could shake your a** to—which happened. A lot.

In general, even though the songs had serious messages, the band members had a great sense of humor throughout the show, really drawing people in like a big musical hug.

To sum it all up, Becca mentioned, “We play what we love and keep the vibe alive with a con-scious and positive mes-sage.”

And that’s a band any-one can love.

Los Skagaleros (and Las Skagaleras) definite-ly has to be one of the rare musical “gems” of the South Texas scene.

The Victoria Film Festival turns 20 this year, and it could quite

possibly be the biggest and best one so far.

From Feb. 7-16, the film industry will invade the city, bringing with it more than 150 feature films, documentaries and animated films, includ-ing world premieres and

exclusive screenings.That’s 10 days of rare

screenings of films from around the world by award winning directors and actors. Not to men-tion unique events and parties, the likes of which Victoria has never seen.

The film festival opens with Steve Coogan’s beloved BBC character Alan Partridge making

his big screen debut at 7 p.m. Afterward, make sure you have your tick-ets for the opening night ’60s-themed gala fea-turing “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” Andy Warhol’s “Factory,” and the Central Park Be-In parties.

Two new events that are sure to excite cine-philes include the ‘In

Conversation With’ series and the ‘Women in the Director’s Chair’ show-case.

“In Conversation With” features four filmmakers making waves in indepen-dent cinema. Filmmakers Atom Egoyan, Guy Maddin, Ken Taylor and Drew Taylor and Don McKellar and Bob Martin

will be featured in the conversational series.

“Women in the Director’s Chair” will be aimed at empower-ing young women. Three films, all directed by women, have been chosen to showcase the impor-tance of women’s perspec-tives in storytelling and filmmaking.

Pop-up Cinema fea-tures screenings of films submitted to the festival by local youth through the FilmCAN program. They will screen every night of the fest.

Monday, Feb. 10, is Family Day and will feature nostalgic anima-tions like “The Cat Came Back,” a selection of retro Looney Tunes screenings and more. The screen-ings will be followed by “Linsanity,” a documen-tary about Jeremy Lin who rose up through the ranks of his high school basketball team to shine as one of the most talent-ed point guards the team had ever seen.

The 10-day fest has more to offer than men-tioned, so make sure to check out their site for ticket information and event schedules at VictoriaFilmFestival.com.

Film

he multiple award winning Canadian short film and fea-ture filmmaker Guy

Maddin will make his first trip to Texas during the 20th annual Victoria Film Festival.

Maddin is known for his recreating the look and style of silent or ear-ly-sound-era films such as “The Saddest Music in the World” and “Brand Upon the Brain!” and has garnered critical acclaim across the globe.

On casting 2003’s “The Saddest Music in the World”:

“Well, I knew of her (Maria de Medeiros), I guess, from bit parts I’ve seen her in. Before that ‘Henry and June,’ you know the bio pic about Henry Miller filmed on 35 mm with ’80s movie stars.

“And there’s something about Isabella Rossellini as well.

“So, my reservations about using contempo-rary actors kind of disap-peared in these two faces. They sort of opened con-temporary actors for me, and I needed that transi-tion, like these great time travelers.

“Isabella because she sounds so much like a mother, and we filmed in black and white, and there were certain angles, she would just tilt her head one micromillime-ter, and all of a sudden a mother’s features sort of erupt out of Isabella’s.

“I shoot in black and white, so I all of a sudden

saw Ingrid Bergman star-ing up at me.”

On finding actors for his universe:

“That was a case where the part was actually written for him (Jason Patrick). It really helps. I used to do that back when I would write parts for my pals.

“And it was the case with Jason Patrick, who I met at Ebertfest, that festival (film critic) Roger Ebert threw. He was there for the Jim Thompson boxing movie, ‘After Dark, My Sweet.’ He was in that, and I met him for burgers and milk-shakes with Ebert after, and we became friends, and I told him I wanted to write a part for him, and we stayed in touch.

“And it really helps to have someone in mind when you’re writing a part. It was the same with Isabella Roselini—I had her in mind. Rather than try to impose something afterwards, that gets really tough. Especially if you don’t have the kind

of power to get people to return your phone calls and things like that.”

On actors he’d love to work with:

“Nicholas Cage. He describes in his Wikipedia entry as his perform-ing style as “Nouveau Shamanic” which is a fan-tastic description.

“I just see him as maybe the greatest living German Expressionistic performer,” he said with a sincere laugh.

“Him and maybe Crispin Glover are run-ning neck and neck.

“These people under-stand melodrama. They understand inhibition. They understand where your dark inner landscape gets expressed with the outer landscape you occu-py, and those two guys then set out to define the landscape.

“They’re really amaz-ing.

“I worked briefly with Eli Wallach, who’s now 90. He narrated my movie ‘Brand Upon the Brain.’ I

would like to work with him again, too. So maybe I will.”

On the “Matrix” trilogy:

“It’s funny you men-tion that. The only time I’ve ever felt suicidal as an adult was during a screening of ‘Matrix 2.’

“I missed ‘Matrix 1’ and never did see ‘Matrix 3’, but I almost ended it all,” we paused to share a laugh.

“‘Matrix: Reloaded’ or whatever it was called. I just couldn’t believe it. That one was—whatever.

“It’s funny how fairy tales, allegories, fantasies and the weariest expres-sionist movies and all that stuff is just a world removed from science fic-tion. They almost never have anything to do with each other. They seem to sit at opposite ends of the pole.

“Where as fairy tales exist solely for the pur-pose of exploring human psychology, so science fic-tion can really make me feel like the life has been sucked out of me.

“Every now and then an actor can pull some-thing out.”

On contemporary directors:

“I’m really impressed by some mainstream directors like David O. Russell. I’m amazed by the work he’s done with the actors. Zack Snyder’s stuff. I think he’s under appreciated. Like with ‘Suckerpunch.’”

He paused and tried to remember more names.

“I don’t even both-er remembering their names until they die,” he chuckled. “I just catch the Hollywood reporter obits and then start submitting things to memory.

“I don’t want to have to remember someone’s filmography if he’s going to keep adding pictures to it. It’s like, how much room do I have up here anyway?”

On the Victoria Film Festival:

“I’m going to just wan-der around. I’m going to check out the films, I’ve got some duties. It’s always nice meeting peo-ple that come out. You meet all kinds. And that’s pretty moving to me, too.

“The landscape is very unWinnipeg-like. That’s very important to me. Like stopping in at a gas station that has free gas. I’m just going to fill up my soul.

“Then I’m going to come back to Winnipeg and try to last the winter.”

Guy Maddin will be a guest speaker at the “In Conversation With” spe-cial panel Sunday, Feb. 9, at 11 a.m. followed by a collection of his short films at 12:30 p.m.

While chatting with Maddin about contemporary films he discussed his surprising (for this interviewer, anyway) love for “Jackass presents: Bad Grandpa”.

“I loved ‘Jackass presents Bad Grandpa.’ I thought that was really unbelievable. It’s the most humanistic movie I’ve ever seen. Like most people, I didn’t expect that from it. I was really psyched out by it. I was bursting in to loud sobs while watching that movie.”

Taken aback by the comments he just made, I had to ask if he was genuinely seri-ous about the comedy.

“Yeah, all those people that he plays jokes on. Like the people that are hired for that woman’s funeral, that woman who had no friends so people are hired for $5 or $10 to just sit in the service and then the coffin spills the body out.

“The look of horror on their faces and their attempts to console the widower. It was just so heartfelt and their attempts to restore dig-nity to the situation.

“I’m getting choked up right now just think-ing about it.

“Then in the end credits they show Johnny Knoxville revealing how it was a gag and the genuine relief on their faces.

“It feels like ‘Robert Bresson’s Jackass pres-ents Bad Grandpa.’ I really love that movie.

“Scene in and scene out people are trying to help.”

‘Acting is so difficult for me that, unless the work is of a certain stature in my mind, unless I reach the expectations I have of myself, I’m unhappy. Then it’s a miserable existence. I’m putting a piece of myself out there. If it doesn’t do anything, I feel so ashamed. I’m afraid I’ll be the kind of actor who thought he would make a difference and didn’t. Right now, though, I feel like I made a little bit of difference.’

– Philip Seymour Hoffman
