The Old Town School of Folk Music has received a $1 million gift from longtime board member Gary Maurer and his wife, Laura.
May 4, 2007 (Press Release) --
The largest gift in the organization's 50-year history, its primary purpose is to support the building campaign for a new state-of-the-art facility at 4543-49 N. Lincoln across the street from the school's current home.
The education center, with a capital campaign estimated at $13.5 million, will have the ability to serve 8,000 to 10,000 more students.
The Maurers are scheduled to present the first installment on Dec. 1, the school's 50th anniversary.
Looking weirdly tanned and chiseled, Thomas Haden Church from “Sideways” plays Flint Marko, an escaped convict who falls into a pit where scientists just happen to be conducting some sort of molecular fusion test in the middle of the night. The process turns Marko into the Sandman — half man and half, well, sand.
Meanwhile, a meteor has fallen to the Earth, and a slimy creepy crawler has emerged from the space rock and is now residing in Peter’s apartment. The creepy crawler affixes itself to Peter’s face one night and enters his being, turning him into a darker, more aggressive personality who favors an all-black costume as Spidey — and a whole new ’tude as Peter.
This leads to one of the most bizarre montages in superhero movie history, with Peter changing his hair, buying a European suit and strutting down Manhattan like some clueless, low-rent gigolo, pointing and winking at women who look at him with disgust. On the outs with Mary Jane because he’s been insensitive to her career setbacks, Peter goes on a date with Gwen (Bryce Dallas Howard), one of Spider-Man’s many rescue cases. They show up at the jazz club where Mary Jane works as a singing waitress, and within seconds, Peter is banging away at the piano and dancing all over the joint like Jim Carrey in “The Mask.” It’s very goofy.
There are myriad subplots swirling about. James Franco’s Harry regains his memory and resumes his plot to become a Mini-Green-Goblin and kill Peter/Spider-Man. Peter’s rival for a photo job, the scheming Eddie Brock (Grace), gets slimed by the creepy crawling thingee and becomes a Spider-Man-type creature known as Venom. Mary Jane has a flirtation with Harry. The investigation into Uncle Ben’s murder is reopened. Flint Marko tries to get money for his sick daughter. The weird neighbor girl makes cookies for Peter.
I don’t think there were this many storylines in “Crash.”
“Spider-Man 3” has an identity crisis. It’s often thrilling but never scary, and at times, it’s pure camp. New additions Grace, Church and Howard are all good actors, but their characters are underdeveloped and one-dimensional. Maguire tries hard, but Peter’s boyish enthusiasm seems more like annoying naivete at this point — and when Spidey goes dark, there’s none of the menace or inner turmoil of, say, Christian Bale’s Batman.
