Ready or Not (2019)

Ready or Not is a nice slice of ghoulish fun. We’ve seen elements of the premise before but writers Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy make this horror comedy feel brand new by crafting memorable characters and capping the skin-crawling climax with a terrific ending. With the sharp direction by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillet and a dedicated performance from Samara Weaving, you’ve got the kind of movie gore-hounds can show to non-horror fans to get them on board with the genre.

Grace (Samara Weaving) and Alex (Mark O’Brien) are now married. He’s warned her his family is full of terrible people but they seem to be behaving themselves alright. After the ceremony, she’s invited to play a game as part of her initiation into the family. When she pulls the hide-and-seek card out of a mysterious box, she agrees to play, unaware that being found means she'll be murdered by her new in-laws.

They say the Le Domas family made its fortune following a deal with the mysterious “Mr. Le Bail” and that if they don’t sacrifice Grace on an altar before the sun rises, that the consequences will be grave. Right away, this "deadliest game" becomes more interesting. Firstly, the family has motives beyond “we’re bored and want to hunt something exotic”. In fact, it might mean their lives if they don’t get grace, so they REALLY want to get her. Secondly, you can't help wondering "What if there really ISN’T a Mr. Le Bail?" It would mean that these people are crazy, or at the very least, so obsessed with family tradition that they can no longer tell right from wrong. There’s a lot to say about that, particularly since this is a family with a lot of "old money", exactly the kind that would keep track of all these little details about the family business and what the ancestors were up to.   Surprisingly, the most memorable thing about Ready or Not are the people hunting Grace. They’re all terrible but for reasons other than the fact that they, you know, want to kill her. There’s Emilie (Melanie Scrofano), who is hopelessly addicted to cocaine and an all-around screw-up. She’s got a surprising body count by the time the credits roll because her brain is so frazzled she ends up killing people she didn’t mean to. She’s married to Fitch (Kristian Bruun), who is the only person less qualified to handle a weapon than his wife. He’s an idiot and clearly only married into the family for the money. If Emilie could ever sober up, she might realize this. Then there’s the alcoholic Daniel (Adam Brody), who is married to Charity (Elyse Levesque) and is completely dominated by her. They obviously hate each other, which is probably the reason why they don’t have children. Mom and Pop (Henry Czerny and Andie MacDowell)? They seemed alright at first but ultimately, they’re like all rich people: they care about themselves and their fortune first and foremost, no matter what they might’ve said before. Finally, we get to Aunt Helene (Nicky Guadagni), a white-haired viper wielding a battle-axe. She’s the most adept of all of them, though her skills still aren’t anything compared to “the help”. That’s right. Unsurprisingly, the butler (John Ralston) and the maids are way better at everything than their masters. All of these memorable people offer up splatters of blood and plenty of laughs.

Ready or Not knows how to make you wince in anticipation and when to release that pent-up tension. A great example is a scene of Grace squeezing her way through the gate surrounding the Le Domas mansion. She can barely fit but she’s determined to get through. Unfortunately, there’s this protruding spike at about mid-shoulder height. Every inch forward extends this agonizing gash along her back. You can practically feel how much it hurts and describing it doesn’t do it justice. The movie has just enough moments like that to make you care about her and make you secretly hope that all of her escape routes get blocked so she's forced to turn around and give these uncooked balls of dough a taste of their own medicine.

Another top-notch character is Grace’s husband, Alex. For all his talk of “for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health”, we eventually realize that he isn’t different from the rest of his family. He doesn’t love Grace, not really. Not enough to risk her living through the night, anyway. Fortunately for our heroine, he fails. When the sun finally rises, there’s a pause. The family didn't get Grace. What now? At first, you think nothing is going to happen. "Whoops. Guess that was all for nothing!" but then, it happens. Mr. Le Bail shows up and kills everyone but Grace, including Emilie and Fitch’s two bratty kids. In those few minutes, there was so much uncertainty and now, the payoff is so satisfying you’ll be in hysterics.

Ready or Not offers terrific blood-splatted laughs and tension along with some sharp - and smart - societal criticisms. There’s a lot to love here and it doesn’t get any less fun the second time around. (August 5, 2022)

Pourquoi London

21—24 March 4 Princelet Street | London Spitalfields

Gertrude and Canopy Collections are thrilled to announce their first collaborative exhibition, Pourquoi London. For the past few years, both platforms have been championing alternative models to democratise the art industry and support emerging artists in a fast-changing art world. Set against the backdrop of an exceptional Grade-II listed building in the heart of Spitalfields, this exhibition showcases a curated cross section of some of the most compelling artists operating across both platforms.

Pourquoi London is presented in a space which is an antithesis to the white cube. Rather than being displayed in visual isolation against plain white walls, the artworks are placed into conversation with the history of the building and by extension, the historical context of London more broadly.

Pourquoi London is not just an exhibition, it is an exploration of the evolving language of art and an invitation to engage with the narratives that resonate with contemporary living artists. The London art scene has faced significant challenges in recent years and the impact of various global crises has been strongly felt by artists and galleries alike. The city increasingly needs to defend its place in the global art world, and the artists exhibited here help to highlight what it means to be an artist working in London today.

The exhibition is curated by Will Jarvis (CEO of Gertrude) and Louise Chignac (co-founder of Canopy Collections). It will feature over thirty artists including Francesca Anfossi, Anna Blom, Bokani, Richard J. Butler, Thomas Cameron, Helen Clarke, William Cobbing, Lara Davies, James Dearlove, Juliet Ferguson Rose, Abi Freckleton, Iris Garagnoux, Harriet Gillet, Richard Hards, Emmet Kierans, Charlotte Kingsnorth, Jon Kipps, Hannah Knox, Sarah Lederman, Ranny Macdonald, Dominic Myatt, Tamsin Nagel, Rebecca Parkin, Sarah Poots, Emerson Pullman, Leon Scott-Engel, William Stein, Emma Tod, Ian Whittlesea, Kate Williams, Aethan Wills, Salomé Wu.

"Today in history"

On this date in 1625, Helene Gillet went to the scaffold in Dijon to suffer beheading for infanticide.

But it was the executioner and not Helene who came down from it in pieces.

Helene was the beautiful 21-year-old daughter of a royal chatelain, thanks to her status, she was entitled to the dignity of a beheading, rather than an ignoble dispatch by rope. But all else for Helene Gillet was shame: her father disowned her and forbade any intervention on her behalf; only Helen’s mother accompanied her to Dijon to appeal against the sentence.

The scaffold on which the whole tragedy was to unfold was a permanent edifice. Its routine employment was attested by the permanent wooden palisade and the small stone chapel comprising the arena — features that would factor in the ensuing scene.

Having positioned Gillet on the block, our troubled executioner raised up his ceremonial sword and brought it crashing down … on her left shoulder. The blow toppled the prisoner from the block, but she was quite alive. To cleanly strike through a living neck with a hand-swung blade — to do so under thousands of hostile eyes — was never a certain art. Hoots and missiles began pelting the platform as the pitiable condemned, matted with blood, struggled back to the block.

One chop would do it: the struggling patient would still, the archer detail would restrain the angry crowd. Again the high executioner raised the blade and again arced it down on the young woman’s head — and again goggled in dismay. Somehow, the blow had been half-deflected by a knot of Helene Gillet’s hair, and nicked only a small gash in the supplicant’s neck. Having now seen the vulnerable youth survive two clumsy swipes, the crowd’s fury poured brickbats onto the stage in a flurry sufficient to drive the friars who accompanied the condemned to flee in fear for their own lives.

The raging mob by this time had pushed through the guards and overrun the palisades. The executioner’s wife was ruthlessly torn to pieces, and the cowering executioner himself soon forced from his refuge to the same fate.

Helene Gillet, who had survived a beheading, was hauled by her saviors bloody and near-senseless to a nearby surgeon, who tended her injuries and confirmed that none of them ought be fatal.

The Parliament of Dijon received the royal pardon on June 2, and formally declared Helene Gillet’s official acquittal.

The fortunate woman, having had a brush with the sublime, is said to have retired herself to a convent and lived out the best part of the 17th century there in prayer.

NOLADrinks Show – 3-25-19 – French Quarter Fest Series – Helen Gillet and Derrick Freeman

On this edition of The NOLADrinks Show we have our next French Quarter Fest Series from Louisiana Music Factory! With the festival right around the corner, we’re all getting excited! This time around, we talk with two highly multi-faceted musicians, cellist Helen Gillet and percussionist Derrick Freeman.

Pictured above from left – Derrick Freeman of Soul Brass Band, Helen Gillet, and Bryan Dias of The NOLADrinks Show.

NOLADrinks Show – 3-25-19 – French Quarter Fest Series – Helen Gillet and Derrick Freeman

We start the show off letting you know what’s on tap this week. We also let you know about next week’s show featuring interviews from the 3rd annual New Orleans Bourbon Festival.

Then, we’re off to our featured interview and the next installment of our French Quarter Fest Series from Louisiana Music Factory. We chat with two very talented musicians – percussionist Derrick Freeman, leader of Soul Brass Band among many other things, and Helen Gillet, a very eclectic cellist. Both draw on numerous influences and genres in their music.

We talk about their backgrounds in music, both started young, and some of their influences. Helen grew up in Singapore and comes from a bilingual household. Her multicultural upbringing is reflected in her music that ranges from Indian music to French chanteuses to rock. Derrick, a long-time New Orleans resident who studied at UNO, was raised in Houston and comes from a classical background along with musical theater. His projects have spanned jazz to New Orleans music to hip-hop. He is a leader of the Soul Brass Band.

Next up, we talk about food and drink. Helen and Derrick touch on their love of cooking and some of how their upbringing and experiences abroad have influenced their palettes. We even get into some favorite recipes and kitchen ideas!

We close out the radio portion of the show talking about French Quarter Festival and what it means for them to participate. Derrick and Helen talk about when and where they are playing and a bit about what to expect from their performances. They share some of their experiences playing past festivals – Derrick, for example, has played with a who’s who of the fest!

Pictured at left from left – Helen Gillet, Derrick Freeman of Soul Brass Band, and Bryan Dias of The NOLADrinks Show.

Helen and Derrick stick around for our podcast-only “Another Shot with NOLADrinks.” We cover some more ground, namely, they both share some terrific stories from touring abroad – don’t miss it!

We close things out with our “Parting Shot” talking about how New Orleans defies genres.

The map below shows the location of Louisiana Music Factory. You can subscribe to, stream, and download The NOLADrinks Show podcast using the links and player at the top of the post!

Cheers, You All!

To call some musicians these days indie stalwarts might be too much, because the label doesn't signify anything anymore, but I still consider this term to be something like an ethos than an actual sound. I mean, many of those players work for the major label and they have world conquering ambitions with Arcade Fire being the most prominent example of that. However, their propensity for bombast got the better of them on Everything Now, their latest, which got a lot of mockery, though I would suggest the main problem with the record might be the fact they're dealing with a present moment, which remains undefined, yet they tried to do the opposite. Moreover, I ask myself how many have noticed the deep sadness behind the disc, which can be mostly felt on the finale of the platter.

Kobra Quartet & Haley Fohr/Helen Gillet duo, Hungry Brain

The biannual Instigation Festival, which celebrates the coming together of Chicago and New Orleans music, comes to Hungry Brain tonight. This year sees a record release show for the Kobra Quartet (reedist Aurora Nealand, guitarist Steve Marquette, bassist Anton Hatwich, and drummer Paul Thibodeaux), who don’t release their self-titled Astral Spirits debut until early next month. Also playing: a duo from Circuit des Yeux’s Haley Fohr and celist Helen Gillet.

Meat Wave, Empty Bottle

We previewed Meat Wave’s show at Joyride Records last November:

“If you’ve read us for the past few years, you know we love the songs and shows of ever-ascending local heroes Meat Wave, having covered three different sets of theirs. Their last full-length release was 2017′s The Incessant, but earlier this year, they released two new songs, one-minute stomper ‘Shame’ and creepy slow-burner ‘Dogs At Night’. They’ve also recently released a split EP with Lifestyles; their contribution is the chugging, surf rock-meets-post-punk ditty 'That’s Alright'.”

Rock band Big Business headlines. DJ Chrissy spins before, between, and after sets.

Kesha, Ravinia

Rainbow was the first Kesha album to feel unabashedly, authentically her, beginning to be removed from the traumatic, emotionally abusive bind of Dr. Luke. For that reason alone, it was an inspiring record worth celebrating, something that she’s done by touring it these past couple years. Tonight at Ravinia, expect her to bounce between Rainbow cuts and trash pop hits.

Movie Review in 700 Words or Less: Ready or Not (2019)

I’ve never been married before, but I’ve heard a lot of stories from my friends involving their rather interesting relationships with their spouses’ families. Ready or Not - directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillet also known as Radio Silence - explores the hardships (and perils) associated with marrying into a wealthy family. When Grace (Samara Weaving) marries into the Le Domas family, who have made millions off of selling card games and board games and acquiring professional sports teams, she learns she has to participate in a time-honored Le Domas family tradition: Game Night. The rules are simple: Grace must draw a card and whichever game is listed on the card (Old Maid, chess, etc.), that is the game she will play alongside the other Le Domas family members that include her new husband, Alex (Mark O’Brien), patriarch and matriarch, Tony and Becky (Henry Czerny and Andie MacDowell), their other children Daniel and Emilie (Adam Brody and Melanie Scrofano), Tony’s sister Helene (Nicky Guadagni) and Daniel and Emilie’s spouses, Fitch and Charity (Kristian Bruun and Elyse Levesque). When Fitch and Charity joined the family, they had to play Old Maid and chess, respectively, but when Grace draws the Hide and Seek card, she enters, unwittingly, into a game of cat and mouse.

Soon Grace is running around the creepy and cool Le Domas mansion trying to avoid being hunted down and sacrificed to Satan by her new in-laws. While Grace is the heroine of the movie, if you are expecting her to take down each member of the Le Domas clan à la assassin Beatrix Kiddo in Kill Bill or the survivalist Erin in You’re Next, that is not what Ready or Not is all about. Instead, Grace is like us, the viewer, and a lot of her choices are made out of fear and often times result in her being shot in the hand or stabbed in the shoulder. Even though Grace is not the total kickass badass many were expecting her to be, it is quite entertaining watching her outsmart the members of the Le Domas family all the while donning a bloodied wedding dress.

Ready or Not’s script is pretty solid, but my favorite part of the film is actually the characters. Each member of the Le Domas family, even the kids, are given a unique POV which influences every move they make. The film explores wealth and how it affects the people who have it. For Aunt Helene, her husband was killed and sacrificed the last time the Hide and Seek card was drawn. Her view is if she can survive losing the love of her life, so can her nephew Alex. Becky is a bit more sympathetic towards Grace since she, too, married into the family – but make no mistake, she will do anything in her power to protect her family, even if that means sacrificing Grace. Daniel and Emilie are jaded by their wealth and use alcohol and drugs, respectively, to cope. Then there’s the Tony. Tony’s wealth comes from his parents and grandparents. He was born into wealth and has greatly benefited from that wealth. He will stop at nothing to maintain that wealth – even if it means hurting his children in the process. Yeah – they’re all awful, awful people but at least there’s a method behind their madness. Love them or hate them (I kind of love them), it’s refreshing to see fleshed out characters in a movie.

It goes without saying, I absolutely freaking love this movie. If Clue and Hunger Games got together and had a baby, that baby would be Ready or Not. Samara Weaving is a great protagonist and you are rooting for her every second of the movie. Perhaps one of my favorite parts of the movie is the ending. I won’t spoil it for those of you who have not seen the film but let’s just say it’s one of the most perfect endings to a film I have seen in quite some time. If you are seeking the perfect movie for the holidays, I highly suggest this movie. I promise you will not be able to hide the smile on your face.

Den kritikerrosade Judith Owen släpper ny singel

Den walesiska pianist-singer-songwritern Judith Owen, har genom åren blivit känd för sin fina stämma, musikaliska variationer och genrebrytande covers. På Långfredagen är hon aktuell med ny singel (What If God Was) One Of Us. Högtiden taget i beaktning, så är det en superaktuell låt.

Denna gång har hon tolkat Joan Osborne’s Grammy-nominerade låt från 1996 (What If God Was) One Of Us, skriven av Eric Bazilian.

”Det är den perfekta låten speciellt för Påsken, men också för den tid vi lever i. Den handlar om att tro på mänskligheten”, säger Judith Owen

För att inte förlora sångens betydelse och kvalité, sjunger hon med sin speciella känsla. Låten spelades in i ett ombyggt kapell (NOLA’s Esplandade Studio) i New Orleans vilket, enligt Judith Owen, har bidragit till det lilla extra gudomliga ljudet. Ett ljud hon har uppnått genom att spela in låten i ett enklare arrangemang.

Med låten (What If Good Was) One Of Us ställer Judith de stora frågorna som ger eftertanke. Vad skulle man göra om man en dag skulle stå ansikte mot ansikte med ”honom”. Tänk om verkligheten inte matchade de stora förväntningarna?

”Jag minns första gången jag hörde låten och hur jag kunde relaterade till varje känsla och tanke som sjöngs. Jag tror att himlen är här nere på jorden i nuet, och inte bara i livet efter detta. Jag tror att Gud är i alla saker och att om han har skapat oss ur sin egen spegelbild, skulle han utan tvekan vara lika bristfällig och full av skönhetsfel som alla andra. Skulle vi känna igen honom om det visade sig att sig att han var en ofullkomlig människa och inte en kung?” säger Judith Owen

FOR FUCK SAKE!

020 har, som för många, varit ett turbulent år för den mångsidiga artisten. Judith hann till sin stora glädje slutföra en världsomspännande turné innan Coronapandemin fick stänga världen. Hon har använt den ”nya tiden” till att livestream hemifrån varje onsdag och söndag i online programmet FFS!  Här har hon sänt livemusik och pratat om reflektioner, live-chattat med sina många fans från hela världen. Med sin smittsamma humor och med glimten i ögat har hon pratar om livets stora och små frågor.

(What If Good Was) One Of Us produceras i samarbete med Judith själv och den Grammy-vinnande producenten John Fischbach (Stevie Wonder, Cassandra Wilson), Pedro Segundo på slagverk och Helen Gillet på cello. Singeln är hämtad från albumet Both Thins Are True som planeras att släppas senare i år.

Helen Gillet is one badass cellist.
