Before there was any such thing as True Blood and the mother of all deep-fried Southern

opening credits (hat tip to Jace Everett and his drawling “Bad Things”), there was Wayne

“The Train” Hancock. The native Texas musician puts Elvis and Johnny Cash into a rusty bar

shaker and gives the whole concoction the old one-two. Hancock makes a stop in Denton to play

Friday at Dan’s Silverleaf. The Austin-based musician played to a packed house during 35 Denton,

a testament to his surefooted approach to alternative country. His live set is informed by juke joint

staples — Western swing, Jimmie Rodgers-style blues and early rock ’n’ roll. And yet Hancock,

who sounds decades older than his 48 years, brings on the fire and ire of the rock ’n’ roll he grew

up with. If you’re a fan of Hank Williams or Bob Wills, with an occasional craving for something

fiercer, Hancock’s gig is for you. Show starts at 9 p.m. at Dan’s, 103 Industrial St. Cover charge is

$12.— Lucinda Breeding

Koch (★★★ 1⁄2) Neil Barsky directed

this engaging documentary on Ed

Koch, New York City mayor from 1978

difficulties. The film chronicles why

Koch, who died in February, remains

controversial and left a mixed legacy.

Star Trek Into Darkness islike fan-boy fiction on a $185million budget. It’s reverential,it’s faithful, it’s steeped in Trek

mythology.It’s also an excessively deriv-

ative what-if rehash of themesand interactions that came be-fore, most of the characterslesser copies and even carica-tures of the originals. The sce-nario’s been hijacked and rejig-gered from better Trek plots ofdecades ago, the best verbal ex-changes lifted nearly verbatimfrom past adventures.

In short, the new chiefs ofStarfleet aren’t coming up withmuch to call their own.

They pile on the spectacle in

a way that’s never been seen be-fore in Star Trek, whose oldbig-screen incarnations wereso notoriously underfundedthey had to go back and borrowprops, miniatures and visual ef-fects from previous install-ments. The action in Into

Darkness is top-notch, the vi-suals grand, though the movie’sneedless conversion to 3-Dmuddies the images.

But the heart is, well, half-hearted, as though the peopleof the 23rd century are there tomouth the standard logic-vs.-emotion, needs-of-the-many-vs.-needs-of-the-few patter ofStar Trek to count time beforethe next space battle or ray-gunshootout.

Director J.J. Abrams wasmost definitely not a fan-boyfor this franchise when hemade 2009’s Star Trek, whichreintroduced Kirk, Spock andthe rest of the starship Enter-prise gang with a time-traveltwist.

Abrams grew up a fan ofStar Wars, the next space sagahe’ll be reviving with thelaunch of a third trilogy. But hiskey collaborators, screenwrit-ers Robert Orci, Alex Kurtz-man and Damon Lindelof, areTrek fan-boys to their marrow.

The 2009 reboot replayedand tweaked elements con-nected to 1982’s Star Trek: The

Wrath of Khan, and Into

Darkness mines that vein fur-ther. Some of it is cool in an al-ternate-history way, but thefilmmakers remain so closely inorbit around yesteryear’s Star

Trek that they wind up zigzag-ging fitfully through the Enter-prise’s greatest hits.

Into Darkness opens with asplashy action sequence to reaf-firm the cockiness of Capt.James Kirk (Chris Pine) —with his willingness to flout therules — and the icy intellect ofhalf-Vulcan First Officer Spock(Zachary Quinto), who’s willingto sacrifice his life to stick to the

Starfleet playbook.It’s clear these two don’t play

well together, but just as thespace brass is about to splitthem up, Starfleet is hit by sav-age terrorist attacks by mysteri-ous desperado John Harrison(Benedict Cumberbatch). Kirk,Spock and their Enterprisecrew are dispatched to takeHarrison out with weaponsthat could prove the mother ofall drone strikes.

But loyalties slip and shift asthe Enterprise uncovers thestrange history of Harrison andhis connections to a hawkishStarfleet admiral (Peter Wel-ler).

Along the way, Spock hitssome speed bumps in his ro-mance with Zoe Saldana’sbeautiful and brilliant Lt. Uh-ura, while Kirk meets AliceEve’s beautiful and brilliant Dr.Carol Marcus.

The rest of the gang keepsup their routines. Curmud-geonly Dr. McCoy (Karl Urban)

gripes and moans, helmsmanSulu (John Cho) ably steers theship, navigator Chekov (AntonYelchin) does his precociousshtick and engineer Scott (Si-mon Pegg) works his technicalmiracles.

The big find here is Cum-berbatch, who joins RicardoMontalban, Christopher Plum-mer and Alice Krige in a fairlylimited roster of great Trek vil-lains.

As Abrams moves on, itfalls to some next-generationfilmmaker to carry on Star

Trek if more sequels follow.Abrams hasn’t really guidedthe franchise into deep space,but he leaves it in a good placefor successors to tell some rip-roaring sci-fi stories, withoutrelying on reruns of old Trek

glory days.

You could say that puppets areenjoying a theatrical revival.

Puppetry is an artform cher-ished by many cultures. But in Amer-ica, puppets were long associated withchildren’s television and program-ming.

Then along came director Julie Tay-mor, who brought the African savannato life for the 1997 stage adaptation ofDisney’s The Lion King. Through thesimple machinery of puppets, herds ofantelope raced toward an enthralledaudience. Giraffes and zebras ambledacross the stage. Cheetahs stalked, and

birds strutted.During 2011, actor Stephen Plun-

kett (a Denton native) sat astride thehorse puppet at the center of the five-time Tony Award-winning play WarHorse. The same horse puppet was thestar of a TED (of the famed Technolo-gy, Entertainment and Design confer-ences) talk by its creators.

And last season, Music Theatre ofDenton sold out performances of Ave-nue Q, a musical that includes puppetsin its cast in a story about very adultthings in the players’ lives.

Professional puppeteers will travelto Denton at the end of the month to

lead a four-day workshop at the Uni-versity of North Texas that will teachbeginners how to build and animatehand puppets and rod puppets.

Hand puppets are among the sim-plest of their kind. A puppeteer usesone hand to articulate the puppet’smouth. Rod puppets require one handto articulate the puppet’s head ormouth, and another to animate limbs— arms, legs, tail or even a neck.

The workshop, “Beyond the Sock,”will be led by puppet performers NoelMacNeal (Bear in Disney’s Bear in the

They’ll share the reins withdesigner Pasha Romanowski,founder and owner of ProjectPuppet, which provides basicpatterns as starting points forbeginning puppet builders,and Puppetsmith.com, whichoffers tutorials on advancedtechniques for building pup-pets. Romanowski’s puppetcreations have featured on

television and website pro-grams in Australia, Canada,New Zealand and the U.S.

James Martin, a lecturer inthe UNT Department of Ra-dio, Television and Film, saidthe workshop is a chance forstudents to deal with produc-tion outside of news andsports. Martin is coordinatingthe workshop with UNTdance and theater facultymembers Mario Tooch andAdam Chamberlain.

“I want the students to un-derstand what goes on behindthe scenes of the production,from the equipment, designand construction to the acting,and how all of that has to befocused on how the puppet is

perceived, since the audiencedoesn’t actually see the per-former,” Martin said.

The training the workshopparticipants will receive, hesaid, “is usually only availableto those who have been cast ina major production.”

The opportunity is also ex-tended to non-students,though the cost — $1,200 —might keep some from regis-tering.

Participants in the four-dayworkshop will learn to design,build and operate a puppet.They’ll also get a chance toperform with their puppet be-fore studio cameras.
