OUT & ABOUT ART IN THE ART BAR: Paintings by Margaret Horak are on display at the Lincoln Theatre Art Bar, 712 S. First St., Mount Vernon. After a 38-year absence from her art studies, Horak took a watercolor class in 2010 and rediscovered her passion.

and Allen Moe continues through Oct. 31 at Smith & Vallee Gallery, 5742 Gilkey Ave., Edison. Morris has always been interested in how human life is interwoven with nature.

Moe has lived and worked in Skagit Valley, including the neighboring islands for 27 years. Educated as a biologist, Allen has carried that into his exploration as an artist using a variety of mediums — clay, skins/bones, encaustic and cast cement. His current castings were made on sandbars less than a mile from his shack on the Skagit River Delta. The gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. 360766-6230 or smithandvallee. com. “PLAYIN’ FOR PENNIES”: A show of oil paintings by Chad Houtz continues through Oct. 31 at La Conner Seaside Gallery, 101 N.

It closes there Nov. 29. It then jumps

MOVIES NEW THIS WEEK It’s possible we spend more time backstage with the principals in “STEVE JOBS” than we did with the main characters in “A Chorus Line,” “All That Jazz” and maybe even “Birdman,” come to think of it. It’s an eccentric storytelling choice on the part of the blazingly talented screenwriter Aaron Sorkin (“The Social Network,” “A Few Good Men,” et al) and the equally gifted director Danny Boyle (“Trainspotting,” “Slumdog Millionaire”), and it’s certainly not the most commercially accessible method to “biopic” the patron saint of desktops, laptops, portable music libraries, phones and amazing touchpads of various sizes. But as can be said of most Apple products, it’s a wonder to behold — despite a few irritating glitches. Michael Fassbender will be in every best actor conversation from now until Oscar night (and deservedly so) for his mesmerizing turn as the legendary and legendarily difficult visionary Jobs, who became arguably the most influential and most famous powerhouse the computer universe has ever known, despite the fact that he wasn’t an engineer or a designer or a programmer. As Jobs matter-of-factly puts it with blinding, unbridled ego, he was more like a symphony conductor. As Jobs saw it, bright shining minds such as his old garage mate Steve Wozniak were like talented musicians with seats in the front row in the orchestra pit — but they were nothing without Jobs the magnificent, the conductor who put it all together and created lasting greatness. “Steve Jobs” is adapted from Walter Isaacson’s terrific nonfiction biography, and many of the basic plot points are based on public events and well-researched reportage, but Sorkin and Boyle have fictionalized that foundation into three distinctive, highly impressionistic acts of about 40 minutes apiece, each act centered around the drama surrounding Jobs in the minutes and seconds before he takes the stage to introduce the Next Big Thing. Act One introduces us to Jobs in 1984, a couple of days after the famous “1984” Super Bowl ad, as he’s about to unveil the Macintosh. Act Two takes place in 1988, after Jobs parted ways with Apple in spectacularly controversial fashion and was preparing to introduce the world to the NeXT Cube. Act Three is in 1998, with the prodigal Jobs back with Apple and about to change the world with the introduction of the iMac. In the first act, Fassbender’s Jobs looks and acts more like the villain in a superhero movie than a tech guru. He’s lean and muscled, he wears a suit and a bow tie, he berates and threatens to humiliate underlings if they can’t make things perfect by the time he takes to the stage to introduce the Macintosh — and he’s cruelly dismissive of ex-girlfriend Chrisann Brennan (Katherine Waterston) and only slightly less so when it comes to her 5-year-old daughter, Lisa (Makenzie Moss), whom everyone but Jobs recognizes as Jobs’ daughter. The same key figures in Jobs’ life show up backstage prior to each unveiling. Sometimes it makes perfect sense for them to be there; on a few occasions, it’s such an abstract conceit, we almost wonder if Jobs is hallucinating.

Seth Rogen (left) and Michael Fassbender star in “Steve Jobs.” An almost unrecognizable Kate Winslet (working some kind of Polish accent, to varying degrees of success) plays Jobs’ marketing guru and confidante. The great Jeff Daniels (already a master of Sorkinspeak due to “The Newsroom”) plays Apple CEO John Sculley, a father figure who clearly loves Jobs but is more frustrated than most by Jobs’ unwillingness to compromise or listen to reason. Michael Stuhlbarg is Andy Hertzfeld, a founding member of the Apple Macintosh development team. Seth Rogen is terrific as Steve Wozniak, who pleads with Jobs to make some sort of effort to be a decent human being. “It’s not binary!” says Woz to Jobs in a futile effort to explain you can be a genius AND compassionate. Ripley Sobo plays daughter Lisa at age 9. Perla Haney-Jardine takes over the role when Lisa is 19. It just seems ... weird that Jobs and his daughter have so many dramatic, life-changing moments just minutes before he’s about to introduce a new product, but most of it works, thanks to Fassbender’s brilliance, Sorkin’s sharp dialogue and the fine work of all three actresses playing Lisa. Boyle’s camera swerves and zooms and swoops around Jobs as he rehearses his presentations, engages in heated debate with present and former allies, bats away attempts by others to pierce his armor and awkwardly attempts to connect with his daughter. Each leg of the trilogy has a distinctive visual personality. Act One was shot in 16mm film; Act Two in 35mm; Act Three in digital so crisp it jumps from the screen. It’s gimmick as art. As was the case with “The Social Network” (screenplay by Sorkin) and its portrayal of Mark Zuckerberg and the birth of Facebook, we’re reminded time and again in “Steve Jobs” that a man who revolutionized communication and helped hundreds of millions to connect was himself incredibly incompetent at human interaction. It’s Shakespearean-level irony. “Your products are better than you are,” Jobs is told at one point. That’s the idea, he replies. Biography, R, 122 minutes. HHH1⁄2 n By Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
“A Brilliant Young Mind” — One of the purest, most tender and most beautiful performances of the year comes from Sally Hawkins as the loving single mother of an off-the-charts brilliant teenager incapable of expressing love. It’s the best thing in a conventional but well-crafted story of a boy unlikely ever to have a normal social life. Drama, not rated, 111 minutes. HHH “A Walk in the Woods” — Two former movie golden boys finally share the big screen -- and they’re stuck in a middling sitcom. Robert Redford stars as a travel writer hobbling his way down the Appalachian Trail with his out-of-shape friend (Nick Nolte), and the result is an amiable, lightweight and thoroughly predictable buddy movie. Comedy, R, 98 minutes. HH “Black Mass” — Johnny Depp, who stars as real-life Boston gangster James “Whitey” Bulger, is just too huge of a talent for “Black Mass” to be a total letdown, but given the lineup of other top-tier actors in the cast, a feeling of mild disappointment sets in long before the credits roll. This is a good, solid, well-executed crime story. Nothing more, nothing less. Drama, R, 122 minutes. HHH “Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead” — Douglas Tirola’s documentary is a frenetic, rough-edged, unapologetic tribute to the bible of brilliant, tasteless humor, the National Lampoon. First as a 1970s magazine and then with stage, radio and movie spinoffs, the Lampoon helped launch the careers of some of the sickest and best comedic minds of a generation. Documentary, not rated, 92 minutes. HHH1⁄2 “Everest” — Based on true events, filled with stunning visuals and featuring more than a half-dozen of our best actors delivering solid performances, “Everest” is a high-altitude roller coaster ride that will leave you drained. Adventure-
Drama-Thriller, PG-13, 121 minutes. HHH “Knock Knock” — An encounter with teenage temptresses turns to terror for a family man (Keanu Reeves) in a campy, lurid, erotic horror thriller directed by Eli Roth (“Hostel”). This is a movie that doesn’t try to be anything more than what it is: a slick, twisted, extended sick joke. Thriller, R, 95 minutes. HHH “Mississippi Grind” — As gambling buddies on the road, Ben Mendelsohn and Ryan Reynolds look like they know what they’re doing in the poker room and at the blackjack table. Savvy and melancholy, this is one of the better movies in recent years about the gambling culture. Drama, R, 108 minutes. HHH1⁄2 “99 Homes” — Andrew Garfield does fine work as a good guy who takes a job with the opportunistic real estate broker (Michael Shannon) who got him evicted. Though it becomes overwrought toward the end, this is a provocative, visceral, sometimes heartbreakingly relevant drama/ thriller. Drama, R, 112 minutes. HHH “Pawn Sacrifice” — Tobey Maguire gives the performance of his career in an enthralling piece of mainstream entertainment that captures the essence of chess champion Bobby Fischer’s mad genius, perfectly re-creates the tenor of the times AND works as a legit sports movie. Drama, PG-13, 116 minutes. HHHH “Rock the Kasbah” — Stranded in Afghanistan when a USO tour goes south, a burnt-out music manager (Bill Murray) turns his attention to a promising young singer in a remote village. This is an unholy mess -- a jumbled, tonedeaf satire in which every attempt at political commentary comes across as ham-handed and naive. Comedy, R, 106 minutes. H “Shanghai” — A miscast John Cusack gives a Bad Nicolas Cage-type performance as an American spy in tumultuous Shanghai in October of 1941. Some of the actors -- among them Gong Li and Ken Watanabe -- are quite good, and

the production values are impressive, but the mystery is muddled and the romance is tepid. Drama, R, 105 minutes. HH “Sicario” — In examining the dominance of drugs in our culture, Denis Villeneuve’s complex, sometimes sickeningly violent “Sicario” mixes big-picture issues, grindhouse pulp and pure, rough entertainment, bolstered by an excellent ensemble cast led by Emily Blunt, Benicio Del Toro and Josh Brolin. This is one of the best movies of the year. Crime action, R, 121 minutes. HHHH “Sleeping With Other People” — In one of my favorite rom-coms in recent memory, Jason Sudeikis and Alison Brie play attractive, noncommittal people who expend an awful lot of emotional energy on remaining friends even though it’s perfectly obvious they should be together.
After all the twisted hard-R shenanigans, you just want to give them all a hug and thank ‘em for sharing a slice of their lives. Comedy, R, 95 minutes. HHH1⁄2 “Straight Outta Compton” — The early dreams, the big breaks and the in-fighting are told to great effect in F. Gary Gray’s enthralling, energized tribute to N.W.A. Also something of a docudrama about Los Angeles in the wake of the Rodney King verdict, this is one of the better musical biopics of the last 20 years. Music biography, R, 147 minutes. HHH1⁄2 “The Intern” — Despite the high-concept premise -- retired exec (Robert De Niro) interns for e-commerce mogul (Anne Hathaway) -- “The Intern” is a lovely comfort movie, nestled softly in a cynicism-free zone. De Niro and Hathaway mesh in terrific fashion and deliver
utterly charming performances. Comedy, PG-13, 121 minutes. HHH1⁄2 “The Martian” — A visual stunner, “The Martian” also is a hopeful love letter to science and math, American resolve, the power of friendship and international unity. And it features Matt Damon giving one of his best performances as a botanist stranded on Mars and using all his ingenuity to establish communications and stay alive. Sci-fi adventure, 1 PG-13, 141 minutes. HHH ⁄2 “The Walk” — While it doesn’t live up to the brilliant 2008 documentary “Man on Wire,” this solid fictionalized version of Philippe Petit’s illegal 1974 high-wire walk between the Twin Towers boasts breathtaking visuals and a charming lead performance by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Biographical adventure, PG, 123 minutes. HHH
SON LITTLE, “Son Little” — Before setting out on the nongenre specific 21st-century soul music path that he maps out so effectively here, Philadelphia singer Son Little was known for his electro Icebird collaboration with RJD2 and his contributions to hip-hop band the Roots’ 2011 album, “undun.” On “Son Little,” he can go in an old-school direction when he chooses — the doo-wop plea “Lay Down” would sound at home on Leon Bridges’ more rigorously retro debut album, “Coming Home.” But for the most part, he’s after something less formal and familiarsounding, mixing organic and electronic textures on songs that rock out with buzzing lead guitar or programmed beats. Little has a tendency to languish at midtempo, and it can be a relief when he picks up the pace — for instance, while seeking sanctification on the holy rolling “The River.” The soul music label he’ll inevitably be tagged with is really too restrictive for him, especially at a time when revivalist hornhappy bands are plentiful. But, really, is there a better word to describe such searing pleas as “O Mother,” which explores race and identity though such painful questions as “Why do they treat me like I’m not a man? / I wonder, does anybody know just who I am”? n Dan DeLuca, The Philadelphia Inquirer
DARLENE LOVE, “Introducing Darlene Love” — She’s been around, of course, since the early 1960s, when hers was the biggest voice atop Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound, even if she was never
credited by name. The title of Darlene Love’s new album, however, nods to the fact that the powerhouse singer never subsequently achieved the level of solo success her talents warranted. (She even was featured in “20 Feet From Stardom,” a 2013 documentary about backup singers.) With “Introducing,” producer Steven Van Zandt makes a fresh case for Love by building her another wall of sound to conquer. The arrangements are big and dramatic, full of strings and brass and backup vocalists, and the 74-year-old Love matches their grandeur with thrilling, undiminished power. It helps that Van Zandt gives her a solid collection of songs from writers including himself, Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, and the team of Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann. She also tackles Spector’s monumental “River Deep, Mountain High,” originally done by Ike and Tina Turner in 1966. Van Zandt also reveals another essential dimension of Love by having her revisit her pre-Spector roots with two rousing gospel numbers that close the album.
essayist (hello, Steve Martin), Miller has progressively found wired-out wit and bleak, smart chuckles amid the rubble. “Swear to God, I put the ‘hero’ in heroin,” Miller slurs during “100 Grandkids,” a blurry anthem that bounces between home comforts and street sleaze. “Brand Name” slows his roll and portrays Miller as trying to mend his mad, childish ways. There’s been rehab, death and forwardfacing elements in his real life, all of which grip “GO:OD” like a chokehold on the touching “God Speed” and the blackly humorous “In the Bag” without becoming preachy. Miller’s sonic locution has grown up, as his third album’s production is both warmly enveloping and cutting. n A.D. Amorosi, The Philadelphia Inquirer

MAC MILLER, “GO:OD AM” — Pittsburgh’s Mac Miller has come some way since 2011’s “Blue Slide Park,” its jolly old-school vibe, and the high-pitched, frat-rappy “Donald Trump.” Even 2013’s darkly epic “Watching Movies with the Sound Off” seems distant in comparison to the wise wonk of “GO:OD AM.” Like a stand-up comedian who has gone from prop comic to humorously tittering
