8 January 2013 Campus News ‘We are only as good as our last meal’ New dining hall supervisor Monte Veatch hopes to improve food service by Mary Hurton e readily admits that he can’t whistle well, but Monte Veatch says he is ready Hto take Cedarville’s dining experience to the next level. Veatch comes to take the supervisor position at Cedarville’s dining hall armed with food service experience since the age of 16, an education from the Culinary Institute of America and 15 years with Pioneer College Caterers. He has served in similar positions at three previous universities, coming most recently from a smaller school in Kentucky. Becca Howarth, service manager in the dining hall, said that Veatch’s transition to the supervisor position in Cedarville’s cafeteria was seamless, largely because of his experience in similar offices at other universities. Cedarville is significantly larger than previous schools at which Veatch has worked. According to him, coming to Cedarville was a bigger opportunity and a new challenge. He enjoys the dynamic of a larger school as well as the ability he now has to interact with a new student body, he said. Howarth said that Veatch is professional and that he also brings a fresh eye to Cedar- ville’s dining experience. “He is a great communicator and has a quick wit, so I feel folks will really enjoy his presence in the cafeteria as they get to know him,” Howarth said. Photo by Jesse Bowser Veatch said he plans to strive to be ap- Monte Veatch replaces Chuck McKinney this semester as food service supervisor.

In all that TGungor produces, the band breathes a fresh air into the often- stale world of contemporary Christian music. Their style cannot exactly be defined or placed into one category; instead, they are a blend of many styles including indie, rock, folk and alternative. The band’s performance at Cedarville University this month was a great showcase of the God-given talent of its members. The show began with one of the band’s more popular songs, “Dry Bones.” Throughout the night, the band’s leader and namesake, Mi- chael Gungor, connected with the audience as did the rest of his band mates. It was quite obvious that the members of Gungor felt comfort- able on stage and free to be themselves – something that concert-goers he sci-fi/thriller series “Continuum,” filmed in Vancouver, Cana- always admire and enjoy. da, has found its way to the United States, as the Syfy channel has Perhaps one of the most notable things about the concert was the Tacquired the series.

In addition to the science-fiction storyline, “Continuum” branches into a thriller with dramatic and political overtones but still maintains a well-crafted sense of ambiguity. Barry creates situations in which viewers cannot be so sure which side they should truly root for. While Liber8 is often cast in a villainous light due to their violence, they have an egalitarian, trans- parent ideology and stand against a future institution that hauntingly resembles one of a George Orwell novel. By projecting such a dystopia just 65 years into the future, “Continuum” asserts the present time is a turning point; the status quo of society must be done away with, either at the hands of the people or the corporations. Two of the most fascinating characters in the series are Matthew Kellog (Stephen Lobo) and Julian Randol (Richard Harmon). Kellog, a member of Liber8, has a different agenda than the other members and interacts with Kiera, leaving viewers to wonder where his loyalties lie. Mystery also surrounds the character of Julian, who never seems to be on good terms with his step-brother Alec. Julian’s role in the show grows from a minor character to one whose decisions show the impact Liber8 is leaving in 2012. Thanks to great performances by the cast and careful writing which balances foreshadowing and plot twists, “Con- tinuum” builds suspense with every episode.

16 January 2013 arts & entertainment Movie Review: ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey’ by Ade Mahadzir

“The Hobbit,” the prequel to the prestigious “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, came in all its grandeur to the silver screen on Dec. 14. After years of production, the much-anticipated movie was finally released to thrill the hearts of J.R.R Tolk- ien fans. “An Unexpected Journey” is the first installment of a planned trilogy by Peter Jackson. Set in Middle-earth - a world created by the author - 60 years before the events of “The Lord of the Rings,” the movie tells the story of a hobbit named Bilbo Bag- gins (Martin Freeman). He’s convinced by the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) to accompany 13 dwarves led by Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) on a quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain - the initial shelter of the dwarves - from Smaug the dragon. As this movie unfolds, the visuals dazzle the eyes of viewers. While many were in awe of the visuals seen in “The Lord of the Rings,” those of “An Unexpected Jour- ney” are immensely enhanced. One of the most noticeable examples is the trolls, who are uglier and more despicable. In all, the cast’s performance could not have been better. Martin Freeman’s portrayal of Bilbo Baggins is witty and entirely believable. The connection he makes with the audience is a rare but wonderful thing. Audiences instantly feel connected and invested into the group’s journey towards the Lonely Mountain. Although the story itself has yet to end, viewers are taken on an emotional roller coaster ride throughout the film. Very few movies are able to make the audience feel as though they are a part of the story, but “An Unexpected Journey” certainly does this. Unlike a number of book-to-movie adaptations, “An Unexpected Journey” is one of the few to stay true to its origin - a relief, of course, for Tolkien’s readers. The only downfall of the film is that the elements of the movie are not explained as thoroughly as they should have been. In other words, to watch and understand this movie, a person needs to have a basic knowledge of the franchise. If one does not have that knowledge, he or she could be lost during the movie, and any interest for the movie could be lost as well. Some have felt that the movie is irrelevantly long. However, I prefer it just as it is, without the details of the journey being edited by any means.

January 2013 17 Arts & Entertainment Movie Review: ‘Les Misérables’ by Becca Powlus eleased to eager audiences on Christmas Day, “Les Misérables” tells the power- Rful tale of protagonist Jean Valjean and the turbulent June Rebellion in a two-and-a- half-hour musical adaption of the famous 1862 French novel by Victor Hugo. Such an under- taking requires extreme amounts of prepara- tion and is arguably a risky move. “Les Mis” is one of the best stories ever told, and any adaption of the story needs to be handled with con- siderable care to do justice to the greatest of the account. A gifted cast was essential to the success of this adaptation of “Les Misérables.” Thus the selection of Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean, Russell Crowe as Inspector Javert, Anne Ha- thaway as Fantine and Amanda Seyfried as Cosette was a smart move on the part of the directors. Even the less prominent characters lend significant support to the strength and credibility of the film. Those familiar with the storyline of “Les Mis” certainly had an advantage in viewing the movie. Those who were unfamiliar with the plot and characters could have missed the significance of certain elements, in part due to the lack of spoken dialogue and also the intri- cacy of the tale. To fully appreciate all that happened on screen, a knowledge of what was left off screen was key. Viewers would also be wise to prepare themselves for 157 minutes of song. One could count the number of simply spoken words on both hands. For lovers of music and opera, this was not at all a detriment to the film. Howev- er, some members in the audience nearly tore their hair out in the theater, begging for a break in the singing. Others fought their own battle to keep their eyes open. Regardless, it cannot be disputed that the majority of the music was powerfully performed and emotionally rous- ing. Composer Claude-Michel Schönberg is a brilliant artist – the film’s original song, “Sud- denly,” was even nominated for both a Golden Globe and an Oscar. The combination of powerful songs and a talented cast make an unmistakable and lasting impression. Hathaway’s rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream” is a gut-wrenching portrayal of the agony and turmoil Fantine has will disturb the average viewer.
