TURTLE CREEK CHORALE
1
1:1
Major events and social movements in America have always been accompanied by musical expression.
The songs are as varied as the people, yet the themes expressed are common to all: freedom,
justice and eouality. Singing is as American as baseball, ballots and apple pie. Even in the darkest
of times, there is always humor and an irrepressible lust for life. What could be more American
than "Shenandoah," "Strike Up The Band," "Chattanooga Choo Choo," "Over The Rainbow." or
"Blowin' In The Wind." You will leave this concert tappingyour toes and hummingyour favorite
tunes. You will also take with you a deep sense of pride in having shared the songs of our nation.

career spike
After universally hated lesbian

tense heist drama
LIPSTICK SHARK: Foster plays power broker Madeline White, a terror in heels who runs errands for the impossibly rich.
By Steve Warren Contributing Film Critic
B
You're in line at the bank. Anned thugs lock
the doors and scream at everyone to "Get down
on the fucking floor!" If this were anywhere but
Sew York it might seem unusual.
Then again, it's Spike Lee's New York, so
anything can happen. And most of it does before
"Inside Man" is over. Homage is paid to "Dog
Day Afternoon," the king ofNew York bank-rob-
bery-with-hostages movies, but
that's just a fraction of what's on
Spike's mind.
Before pulling a Hugo
Weaving and disappearing
behind a mask for half the movie,
Clive Owen introduces himself as
Dalton Russell and promises to
tell us the "how" behind his "perfect bank rob-
bery."
Some 50 hostages, about half of them bank
employees, are forced to change into dark grey
coveralls with white face masks so they'll be
visually indistinguishable from their four cap-
tors.
The police spring into action. Capt. John
Darius (Willem Dafoe) sets up a command post
outside the bank but soon finds himself out-
ranked by Det. Keith Frazier (Denzel
Washington) and his partner, Det. Bill Mitchell
(Chiwetel Ejiofor). Darius wants to send in the
INSIDE MAN
SWAT team, but Frazier would rather stall as
long as no hostages are being hurt, to give the
bank robbers time to sweat.
The perps demand two buses and a plane by
9 p.m., or they'll start killing one hostage an
hour.
As tension mounts, the action is occasionally
interrupted for scenes of Frazier and Mitchell
interrogating released "hostages,"
some of whom may actually have
been the captors. One of the film's
cleverest devices is to show alter-
nate scenarios of what might hap-
pen when Darius' assault team
goes into the bank.
But there's another story being
played out at higher levels. Jodie Foster plays
Madeline White, who's best described as a
"power broker." She not only knows anyone who
is anyone, she knows their dirty little secrets as
well. She's done enough favors for them that
they're indebted to her, even though they've paid
through the nose.
We get an idea of how she operates when the
besieged bank's founder, Arthur Case
(Christopher Plummer), seeks her help in recov-
ering his safe deposit box from the bank, or at
least making sure its incriminating contents
never see the light of day. With the help of the
Director: Spike Lee
Cast: Clive Owen, Denzel
Washington and Jodie Foster
