â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? Motion Picture Association of America rating definitions: G â€â€? General audiences Unfortunately, while Soderbergh aims for deep thought, "Solaris" is shallow of mind and feels so clinically detached that it rarely resonates emotionally Kelvin comes to investigate, finding his old pal Gibarian (Ulrich Tukur) dead and surviving crew members Snow (Jeremy Davies) and Gordon (Viola Davis) behaving psychotically because visitors from their past have been fabricated out of their subconscious nooks and crannies by Solaris George Clooney â€â€? Soderbergh's producing partner and star of two of his previous movies, the acclaimed flop "Out of Sight" and the glitzy hit "Ocean's Eleven" â€â€? anchors "Solaris" with a subtle, brooding performance "Full Frontal," his venture into star-powered minimalist filmmaking, quickly vanished last summer, but with a tiny budget, it was a virtually risk-free affair And the film is a visual treat, the cloistered space-station setting and languid visual effects creating a sense of alien menace without ray guns, exploding starships or other typical sci-fi trappings All ages admitted "Ocean's Eleven," "Erin Brockovich" and "Traffic," the latter earning Soderbergh a best-director Academy Award, gave the filmmaker the box-office clout to experiment with such projects as "Full Frontal" or "Solaris At the Movies: 'Solaris' Nov 27, 10:16 PM EST After three big hits, Steven Soderbergh is in danger of reverting to being a filmmaker churning out interesting, unusual movies that no one wants to see " Now Soderbergh needs to guard against straying back too often into purely artistic pursuits that lack commercial appeal NC-17 â€â€? No one under 17 admitted PG â€â€? Parental guidance suggested Now comes the big-budgeted "Solaris," an admirable attempt at science fiction for the thinking person Some material may not be suitable for children After a nap, Kelvin awakens to find his own unwanted guest, a facsimile of his wife, Rheya (Natascha McElhone), who killed herself years earlier after the two had a fight All the movie really offers is mood, though Some material may be inappropriate for young children Soderbergh departs sharply from Lem's story, fleshing out Kelvin and Rheya's back-story with bland flashbacks to their earlier life together, and Soderbergh's variation on the ending amounts to New Age mush Clooney plays Chris Kelvin, a psychologist in some indeterminate future when humanity has ventured to other planets The focus for Soderbergh is the love story, yet it's such a muted ghost of a romance that no sparks fly, whether in Kelvin's flashbacks to the real Rheya or his relationship with her doppelganger One of them is Solaris, where a small group of scientists has gone bonkers while studying the turgid, incomprehensible alien intelligence that coats the planet's surface R â€â€? Restricted Lem's philosophizing on humanity's place in the cosmos and his theories on what truly drives explorers to gaze skyward were preserved in absorbing exchanges in Tarkovsky's version Soderbergh struggled for years on idiosyncratic, often worthy projects that failed to find an audience, among them "King of the Hill," "Kafka" and "Out of Sight," his first big-budget film Running time: 98 minutes Soderbergh's "Solaris" reduces Lem's intriguing thoughts to shorthand, quick asides slipped in between unremarkable romantic interludes While the three scientists ponder the nature of their visitors and how to get rid of them, Kelvin gradually comes to view this manifestation of Rheya as a second chance with his lost love Two stars out of four PG-13 â€â€? Special parental guidance strongly suggested for children under 13 "Solaris," a 20th Century Fox release, is rated PG-13 for sexuality-nudity, brief language and thematic elements "Solaris" is based on the novel by Stanislaw Lem, whose provocative book was previously adapted in a much longer and more engrossing version by Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky in 1972 "Solaris" is the cinematic equivalent of ambient music â€â€? a steady, droning pulse with no low points but no particular high spots, either Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian "He was a pimp," Lippincott said with a chuckle Harris also documented professional sports, entertainment and politics He was probably just too busy, capturing four decades of Pittsburgh history at his studio and for one of the nation's most influential black newspapers " Information about one exhibit photo came from within the museum itself as Lippincott was preparing for its July opening The goal of the ambitious Teenie Harris Archive Project is to learn as much as possible about as many images as possible He was an insider and he was deeply inside," Lippincott said Harris died at age 89 in 1998, and the museum acquired the negatives from his family in 2001 In the years since the picture was taken, Ivey's bar burned and Pittsburgh doesn't have the racial problems it once did â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: Teenie Harris Archive Project: http://www "They don't realize what has changed in Pittsburgh in the last 40 or 50 years," he said The exhibition drew the most response, Lippincott said "Out of 80,000 (images), I happen to be in one of them and I work right down the stairs," said Ivey, 68 Bound copies of images were also put at libraries and a four-month museum exhibition of more than 300 images developed from the negatives She initially thought it was of an Easter event, but a former Pittsburgh Courier reporter told her otherwise And the fact that Teenie must have taken at least a dozen photographs indicates that Teenie loved this man," Lippincott said but this has happened in my lifetime It probably accompanied a story in the Pittsburgh Courier, the newspaper for which Harris worked Although it closed in November, images are continuously being added to the project's Web site Eventually, the issue was resolved "People get totally wrapped up in the images themselves And they've come forward and said, 'We'll do anything in his memory "So many people cared about this project," Lippincott said The photos, more in the style of photojournalism than art photography, include images as mundane as old buildings and as shattering as signs with a swastika and racial epithets "Every time we put new images up, I get 40 or 50 more e-mails and we try to put up about 100 images a month," Lippincott said Ivey remembers the photo was of a "selective buying campaign" that black tavern owners conducted against the Pittsburgh Brewing Co However, a collaboration by the University of Pittsburgh, the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh and the Carnegie Museum of Art, which owns 80,000 Harris negatives, has found answers about hundreds of photos by soliciting oral histories from the public '" The museum has collected information on about 30 to 40 percent of images displayed at the exhibition and another 1,000 or so included in the binders "We've gotten them from California, Boston, Texas "He was part of the community One image Lippincott would like to learn about is of a funeral for an apparently well-loved man named Pig Meat "It has to have been one of the most spectacular funerals that ever occurred in Pittsburgh "This is a very special and powerful collection of special sources," he said " To find the stories behind the images, the project reached out to the public through lectures and slide presentations at area churches and retirement homes As far as Glasco knows, there's never been such a large body of photographs documenting one community so thoroughly "We said, 'If we can't earn any money, we're going to stop spending our money on you,'" Ivey recalled "This whole archive will be searchable on the Web and will be an incredible resource for all kinds of people," Lippincott said, explaining they'll be valuable for social, family or historical research At the time, the brewery employed few blacks, Ivey said, yet nearly every black bar in the city carried Iron City beer " That's exactly the project's value, Lippincott and Larry Glasco, a history professor at the University of Pittsburgh, said The black-and-white photo from the early 1960s shows a young man standing behind a bar with his partner, holding a sign reading "NO IRON CITY BEER Judging by the details â€â€? women in fancy dresses and holding baskets of flowers â€â€? Lippincott said the picture could be from the 1940s Lippincott realized that if they were to be cataloged, "We were going to have to speak to a lot of old people really fast Project Finding Answers to Photo Mysteries Feb 4, 1:21 PM EST It probably shouldn't come as a surprise that Charles "Teenie" Harris didn't meticulously log much information about the people and places in the tens of thousands of photographs he took "There are just dozens â€â€? hundreds â€â€? of those stories out there," Glasco said We've got a national response, which is really staggering asp Many of his former employees were there cmoa Still, the negatives had virtually no information With so many photos, he said, historians will be able to document life in urban America during the time of the photos "There are an awful lot of people around the city who knew Teenie Harris and really loved him " One of the men is Hubert Ivey, a part-time museum guard, who was identified in the photo after another guard spotted it at the exhibit Teenie was very good at capturing character," Louise Lippincott, who curated the project, said org/teenie/info "To them, it's ancient history But people, especially young people, now ask Ivey about his involvement in the civil rights movement |
