The University of NorthTexas College of VisualArts & Design digs deep
into its collection for its newestexhibit, which opens Thursdayevening.
The UNT Art Gallery ex-hibit, which opens with a re-ception from 6 to 8 p.m.,makes available to the public aselection of the college’s per-manent works.
“Deep Storage: Special Se-lections From the PermanentCollection at the College of Vi-sual Arts and Design” boastspieces from several artists youprobably read about in your in-tro art history class, includingHenry Moore and Pierre Au-guste-Renoir.
“One of our motivationswas to represent the diversityof artists that are in the collec-tion,” said Victoria EstradaBerg DeCuir, the gallery’s cura-tor. “We have several Britishartists of renown; Carlos Meri-da, a Guatemalan artist whoserved as a visiting professor atUNT in the ’40s; John ThomasBiggers, an African-Americanwhose drawings specificallyhave to do with folk tales — sowe have a lot of diversity bothin artwork and artists.”
The exhibit is intended toopen works to the public thathad been shown rarely, if ever,due to safety concerns and thedelicate nature of the pieces.
“I’ve curated exhibitions atthe UNT Art Gallery in thepast, but I wanted to reachdeeper into our storage for our
exhibition and bring out art-works that have rarely beenseen or never been seen,” De-Cuir said.
Because most of the exhibi-tion pieces are paper, exposureto people and light can be dam-aging, DeCuir said, but the goalof the exhibit is to share thesetreasures with the public.
“We are an educational in-stitution in an academic set-ting, so our aim is to providemore access to students andthe Denton community atlarge,” said DeCuir. “That’s partof our mission.”
She added that the galleryitself would be a cool respitefrom a hot summer day.
“Our space is very unique inthat it’s so flexible — we canbuild temporary walls andchange the way it feels,” DeCuir
said. “It has a quiet darkness toit because of the stained con-crete floor. In the summer it be-comes a cool calming cavernspace. It’s very inviting in thatsense.”
She encouraged observersto set aside ample time for theexhibit.
“The pieces might seemsimple, but all have complexstories to tell,” she said. “Theyrequire contemplation.”
The exhibition runsthrough Aug. 17 in the gallery,located on the first floor of theUNT Art Building, at Mulber-ry and Welch streets. Admis-sion is free. Summer galleryhours are noon to 5 p.m. Tues-day through Saturday.

of Aubrey’s free music series at7:30 p.m. Saturday at the city’sfestival grounds.
Texas band Blacktop Gypsyperforms in the July concert.Founding musicians Andie KayJoyner and Heather Stallingmet in the early 1990s with ex-perience in indie music-mak-ing.
Stalling was an award-win-ning fiddler, coming off a two-year run as a support player inBranson, Mo. Joyner was still ateenager, but had sung for thou-sands of people at countlessperformances. Each had grownup in musical families that ex-posed them to bluegrass, folkand traditional country music.
For the next decade, the girlsgroomed themselves for theirown band by separately backingTexas artists Mark David Man-ders, Max Stalling, Johnny Lee,Tommy Alverson, Bob Schneid-er and others. Joyner andHeather Stalling took a Tuesday
the while — rocky relationshipsand disappointments — andtapped a wellspring for theirown songs. Their band released
its sophomore album, Whirl-wind, in 2011.
Aubrey’s festival grounds areat 301 S. Main St. Lawn chairs,
blankets and coolers are al-lowed, and food vendors willsell concessions.

When you’re a snail, every-thing probably looks pretty bigto you. And when you’re a snail,everyone else probably seemspretty fast to you.
Such is the dilemma faced byTheo, also known as Turbo, thesmall, slow mollusk who has de-veloped an unlikely fondness forspeed.
He’s the title character ofDreamWorks’ new animatedfeature directed by David Soren.Turbo jumps around more thanits main character, developingseveral kid-friendly themes atonce: Slow and steady wins therace; never give up; be yourself;follow your dreams.
Working from a script by
three writers, Soren dutifullychronicles Turbo’s story of be-coming infatuated with the race-car drivers he sees on television.Since the creeping snail wants tomatch their prowess, a series ofevents found only in a kids’ ani-mated film gives Turbo (voicedby Ryan Reynolds) super speed.It all starts when he accidentallyingests nitrous oxide.
Turbo’s new speed captivatesTito (Michael Peña), a taco truckentrepreneur who moonlightsin snail racing (sure). Beforelong, Tito and his small group ofinvestors (Richard Jenkins, Mi-chelle Rodriguez and Ken Je-ong) have traveled to Indianapo-lis and finagled Turbo into theIndy 500 (sure). From there,Turbo devolves into a standardwin-the-big-one sports movie
cliche.In its blatant, ingratiating at-
tempts to attract youngsters,Turbo includes many of the fa-miliar ingredients for a success-ful kids’ animated film: fast-moving creatures and objects,talking animals, buffoonishadults, and a simple plot thatcan’t be criticized for believabili-ty or coherence. After all, this is amovie about a talking snail whoraces in the Indy 500.
In making an obvious com-
parison between Turbo and vir-tually any Pixar animated fea-ture, this one lacks the other’s vi-brant colors, intricately de-signed individual shots, and anoriginal, engaging storylinecomplemented by snappy dia-logue. The uninspired dialoguehere, however, gives adults oneof their few pleasures in trying toname the voice behind the char-acter.
Samuel L. Jackson drawspraise for projecting his inimita-ble energy into the snail Whip-lash, while Ken Jeong makes anunlikely, but funny, nail salonproprietress.
The youngest of the youngmight find distraction in Turbo,while adults might find justenough to drag them to the fin-ish line.

But he soon findshimself in a stickier situation whenhe’s dispatched by the top-secretAnti-Villain League to track down theperpetrator of a fresh heist involvinga ginormous electromagnet. Return-ing directors Pierre Coffin and ChrisRenaud and the returning writingteam of Ken Daurio and Cinco Paulagain maintain the energy at a brisk,buoyant clip, while Carell and the restof the cast add an extra layer ofdimension to those expressivelydrawn characters. Rated PG, 98minutes. — The Hollywood ReporterGrown Ups 2 It would be dishonestto call Grown Ups 2 the most repel-lent high-profile comedy in recentmemory. But that’s largely becausefew moviegoers have memories kindenough to have already erased 2010’sGrown Ups — which offered almostevery loathsome quality of thisinstallment, plus Rob Schneider.Adam Sandler returns as Lenny, aHollywood player who since the firstfilm has moved his family to his ruralhometown, where the kids can bike toschool and Dad gets plenty of GuyTime with pals Eric (Kevin James),Kurt (Chris Rock) and Marcus (DavidSpade). Happily, this film’s conceptionof male friendship is less reliant oninsults and abuse than its predeces-sor. Which is not at all to say that thehumor has matured. Rated PG-13, 100minutes. — HRThe Heat (★★★★ ) This familiar riffon the buddy-cop formula relies onthe tart chemistry shared by MelissaMcCarthy and Sandra Bullock.

Ranger, stretching hard to bothreinvent an out-of-date brand andbreathe new life in the Western witha desperate onslaught of bloated setpieces, is a poor locomotive forJohnny Depp’s eccentric theatrics.Flashback-heavy plot mechanics,occasionally grim violence and surre-alistic comedy add up to a confusedtone that seems uncertain exactlyhow to position Depp’s Tonto in themovie, to say nothing of ArmieHammer’s wayward Lone Ranger.Rated PG-13, 149 minutes. — APMonsters University (★★★ 1⁄2)Pixar’s prequel to 2001’s Monsters,
Inc. is neither a bold return to formnor another misfire following Brave

Wazowski (voiced by Billy Crystal)and the burly James B. Sullivan (JohnGoodman) — are college freshmenwith high aspirations in MonsterUniversity’s prestigious Scare Pro-gram.

COVER STORY
It’s going to get hot again, and the staff at Denton Time decided it
was high time to suggest some seasonal libations. Patios all over
Denton are ripe for summer cocktails, and the devoted workers
at your neighborhood newspaper were good for a round or two.
Given the healthy number of barsand restaurant bars in our fair city, this isbut a small sampling of refreshmentsyou might be missing in favor of yourfaithful brews and mixed drinks.
So if you’re in the mood to forgo yourtypical drink for something special, putup your feet and check out Part 1 of oursurvey of Denton’s summertime sip-ping.
Sweetwater Grill & Tavern115 S. Elm St. Open 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.
Tuesday through Saturday; 11 a.m. to midnight Sunday and Monday.
An array of fun and colorful drinkshave hit the local bar menu at SweetwaterGrill & Tavern this summer.
Dayna Kulik, a bartender at Sweetwa-ter for the past 17 years, said this seasonthe key to a good drink that beats the heatis fresh fruit.
“We want to provide something that’slight and refreshing,” she said.
Two of the summer’s newest cocktails?A Salty Dog and Mango Screwdriver.
The Salty Dog consists of Texas vodkaand fresh squeezed grapefruit servedchilled over ice with a salted rim.
The Mango Screwdriver is blendedwith house-made mango infused vodkaand fresh squeezed orange juice gar-nished with a slice of fruit.
Kulik said the two cocktails are just ex-amples of many they are now servingwith that “hint of freshness.”
“We also do a lot of muddling withstrawberries and vodka. Those are mostlyordered as a shot,” she said.
Whether it’s juicing a watermelon orthinking up her next drink idea — pine-
apple vodka perhaps? — Kulik said onething she knows is these aren’t your typ-ical artificially flavored vodkas.
“While those are nice, these have thereal thing and keep it, well, a bit healthi-er,” she said.
Sweetwater staff recommends trying afruit-infused cocktail with one of the res-taurant’s many signature salads, on spe-cial daily.
“They are just a delight paired with asalad or fish, keeping the whole meal lightand summery,” Kulik said.
Buzz factor: Sweetwater pours flavor-ful drinks, but the bartenders don’t skimpon the spirits. Lightweights will feel ithalfway through the second serving.Heavyweights? Vaya con Dios.

Lounge were more than ready tomix up a cocktail perfect for therare temperate July night.
Dapper barkeep Adam saidthe local watering hole doesn’thave any named summer spe-cials. What the tavern does have,though, are some neglected newflavors for the season.
“We’ve got strawberry, blue-berry and watermelon flavorswe’ve been mixing,” he said. “I’mnot sure why, but the strawberryis the weakest flavor of thethree.”
We asked him to mix upsomething with the watermel-on, the flavor recommended,and Adam went straight towork.
We’ll call this refreshingdrink the Pink Lady.
The guys will probably passon this blushing beverage. Alight pink shade lightened bythat delectable cubed ice, thisbeverage was a watermelon vod-ka served with the “sour” foundin whiskey, amaretto and vodkasours. A nice twist of lemon,maybe some lime and syrup. Afresh stick of watermelon for agarnish, and the glass was readyto drink.
Not as sweet as a daiquiri,and not as assertive as a vodkamartini, the Pink Lady is bestdrunk fresh. It’s not a drink to bepaired with anything, really. It’dfit right into happy hour with thegirls or at a bridal showerbrunch, preferably with savoryfinger foods.
It’s hard to beat fresh water-melon, and the stick of it restingin our drink was especially niceafter soaking in the drink.
Buzz factor: Almost none.You could drink three of thesecocktails and maintain your de-corum.

Oak Street Drafthouse
& Cocktail Parlor308 E. Oak St.
Open noon to 2 a.m. daily.
We fudged the rules a littlewhen we joined a big crowd sit-ting, standing and leaning in ev-ery room (and the patios) at OakStreet Drafthouse & CocktailParlor. (Don’t look at us like that.We weren’t in the mood forbeer.)
So we tried something youcan only get in Denton, and withthe huge row of beer taps behindthe bar, we just know this cock-tail is overlooked.
We tried the Bee’s Knees.Named for the most distin-guished ingredient, ArmadilloAle Works’ lemonade, this is oneduplicitous drink. Light taste,big kick.
The bartender whipped up adouble of this signature cocktail.With Tito’s vodka, the local craftbrewery’s bottled lemonade sodaand a slice of lemon, this cocktailis just the glass for a weeknight on
the drafthouse patio.Armadillo Ale Works’ Bee’s
Knees Lemonade is a grown-uptake on the childhood favorite,and Tito’s is a silky brand of vod-ka. The lemonade is a lighter so-da than you’ll find at your conve-nience store fountain, and to-gether, the flavors are a mild,friendly mix. You’ll get lots of re-freshment without morning-af-ter regret.
That said, Bee’s Knees isn’t acandied drink. Its profile is cooland smooth. Oak Street doesn’tdo food, but this would be a nicecounter to a warm stadium-style
pretzel or a hot dog. It’s served asa double on the rocks.
Buzz factor: Beware.Drinking more than a few ofthese will deliver a bit of a mulekick. But it’s a perfect summercocktail that won’t fill you up orweigh you down. We can vouchfor the Bee’s Knees as a preludeto stouter stuff at the DentonMovie Tavern. Just rememberthat if you’re planning to drinkin multiples at the movie houseor elsewhere, designate a driver.Local bars are up for responsibleregulars.
