Brevard Live: What was your response to Pulp Fiction? Dick Dale: I laughed my ass off when I saw it. I thought it was hilarious. It was a spoof. Like you never saw the vio- lence. You saw the gun in the car, you saw the gun in back seat and you new the gun was going to go off. What Tarantino did is allow “Miserlou” to set the pace of the movie. A lot of times you do movies - I’ve done music to Sponge Bob for Christ sake - well when you’re doing music to movies, unfortunately they chop the movies to pieces. In- stead of letting a song take hold and get a rhythm take hold so people in theatre can get into it, they start throwing dialogue where it cuts the song out.

Brevard Live March 2007 - 23 MOVIES by Greg Kimple & Franco Dean

efore we get to the big screen a couple of DVD rentals bear mentioning. Check out Hard Can- dyB excellent acting within the confines of a edgy story that at times will make grown men squirm. It is a very good low budget film. The worst DVD rental of the month goes to American Werewolf in Texas, a Mexican production that should have stayed south of the border. Let’s Get It On! By the time you read this the Academy Awards should be over and done with. The winners will have been chosen. Here’s 3 films, 2 of which that could garner BEST ACTOR & BEST ACTRESS Oscars.

The Queen Starring: Helen Mirren, James Cromwell & Michael Sheen. Rated: PG 13. Running Time: 104 Minutes. Methinks Mirren should win the aforementioned golden statuette for her superb and uncanny performance as Queen Elizabeth the 2nd. Donning wig and spectacles, Mirren is graceful and elegant as the leader of the commonwealth of Great Britain. She captures the royalty and dignity of a lady who has served as queen for a half century and she, as well as other members of the Royal Family, are not prepared for the common people’s grief in the week following the tragic 1995 death of Princess Diana. The enormous outpouring of senti- ment for the beloved people’s princess overwhelms the queen leaving her unsure as to how the ancient monarchy should react. Very good also is Sheen, who plays the newly elected prime minister, who is caught in the middle between the people of England and Her Majesty. Cromwell turns in a nice performance as the Queen’s husband the Prince. Actual foot- age of Princess Diana is artfully blended in with the movie sequences and director Stephen Frears did a very kingly job indeed. B

The Last King of Scotland Starring: Forest Whitaker, James McAvory and Gillian Anderson. Rated: R. Running Time: 123 Minutes. Whitaker shines in this Ocsar-worthy performance as Idi Amin, the vicious president of Uganda back in the 70’s. His was a bloody and brutal regime in which hundreds of thou- sands died. Nicolas (McAvory, a young Ewan McGregor if you will) is hand picked by the wicked dictator to be his per- sonal physician. The good doctor is from Scotland and chance circumstance as well as Amin’s fascination with the Scottish culture brings them together. Nicolas becomes Amin’s closest advisor but ends up on the big man’s shit list after certain circumstances unfold. Getting in was easy, getting out was near fatal. Whitaker should win the Oscar as his performance

24 - Brevard Live March 2007 is very strong and nuanced. B

The Hitcher Starring: Sean Bean & Sophia Bush. Rated R. Running Time: 90 Minutes This is a re-telling of the 80’s horror thriller classic involving travel plans gone awry. As in the original 2 college kids go on a road trip only to be assaulted, brutalized and victimized by The Hitcher (Bean) a bigger than life stalker/ bully/killer. While some aspects of this film hold up to the original, filling the shoes of Rutger Hauer is not one of them. While Bean is competent and sometimes menacing, it can not replace Hauer’s performance as the Hitcher in the original. This one is more gory, bloody and contains at least a half a dozen jump-out-of-your-seat scares. C

Brevard Live March 2007 - 25 26 - Brevard Live March 2007 Chuck Van Riper THE TOOTH

few years ago, I had to have a tooth pulled. The first Athing that happens is the initial pain of the needle injecting the Novocain. Then every thing goes numb. There is a certain comfort in this numbness while the tooth is being extracted. After the tooth is gone, you’re still quite numb, but your tongue searches the void where your tooth once was. Even though it knows it isn’t there anymore, it searches never the less. The numbness lasts a while, the void being constantly explored.

The Novocain wears off eventually. A great deal of pain replaces the comfort of the numbness. Still the tongue searches the void. Sometimes the pain seems unbearable. The drugs don’t help. You can’t sleep or eat. It becomes an all encompassing experience, yet the void is constantly explored. After a while, the pain subsides and everything seems to get back to normal. You eat again, sleep again, smile again. You know that tooth is gone, yet your tongue still has to search that place where the tooth once was. Even after weeks and months, it is still an uncomfortable void.

A few weeks ago I lost my twin brother. The initial pain was great. I still languish in the numbness. Soon the numbness will be gone. The real pain will begin. I brace for the realization that half of my soul will forever be gone. Unlike the tooth, the void can never be replaced. My pain medication, thus far, has been the love, support, and kindness of family, friends, and the whole community. This in itself has been overwhelming. I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all who have been so supportive and loving. My brother was loved by many and he certainly would have appreciated everything that was said and done in his honor.

As I begin to emerge from the numbness, I embrace the remembrances of Bill that we have all collectively shown. I am in awe of the love given and received by him. He will be greatly missed by many.

Yesterday I had my first dream of Bill. When I awoke, he was gone again …. I shall forever be searching the void. Chuck Van Riper

Editor’s note: We placed this article by Chuck Van Riper on this page, not because he agreed to continue his twin-brothers column, but because YOU, the Brevard Live reader, who has read Billy’s article for the past three years, will feel a void when you come to this section of the magazine - just like we do. Chuck ex- pressed the wish to say a few words to Billy’s former readers. And we thought, this would be the right spot for it.
