Drive Director Nicolas Winding Refn On Influences, Gosling Bromance and That Scorpion Jacket
I recently sat down with director Nicolas Winding Refn to talk about his new film Drive, starring Ryan Gosling as Hollywood stunt driver by day and a getaway driver by night. Refn is one of those filmmakers that, if you’re a cinephile, you’ve likely heard of by now, with such…
Falling in Love with Fall Fashion, Part One: Ken Downing, Neiman Marcus
As you gear up to stock your closets with the latest fall fashions, we here at the Mixmaster thought it might be helpful to get some sartorial advice from some experts who might know a thing or two. You’ll see no matter who we asked, the consensus is that luxury…
Heather Gorham’s “Training Day” at Craighead Green Gallery
You can’t help but wonder who it is that’s being trained on this particular day. At once fanciful and thought-provoking, Heather Gorham’s work, “Training Day,” challenges the viewer’s expectations. The sky is mottled and the horizon line drips down. It looks as if you could wipe away the white and…
You’ve Already Missed Out on the Missoni Collection at Target
If you were thinking of moseying over to a Target store after work to pick up a few of those Missoni items, don’t bother. By 8:30 this morning the racks were cleaned out. I know this because I was at the Super Target at Abrams and Skillman bright and early,…

In honor of Warrior (out in theaters this past weekend — so go see it … no, seriously, it’s really good), lets take a look back at some of the most epic male sibling rivalries in film history. After the jump, it’s brother against brother. And brother against brother against…
Fan Art for the (Teen)Ages: James Franco Snags a Portrait from a Young Fan
Oh, James Franco. Now that’s a sentence we’ve uttered more than a few times when our boy wonder makes news. He constantly keeps us on our toes with stunts that we’re pretty sure he doesn’t clear with his publicist. First, he went to Columbia and acted all student-like. Then he…
MOBC Reading Assignment #1: Try On Some Bossypants
Well lookee at those poll results up there: Tina Fey beat out The Magicians — both fictional and Penn Jillette. For the first assignment, book clubbers, we’re reading the first half of Bossypants (those who have read it say it’s a quick read). For those of you who don’t trust…

Pretty Ladies and Punctual Partiers at Gallery Bomb’s Brickhouse Bandits Block Party
The show that opened Saturday at Gallery Bomb, the month-old space in Oak Cliff’s Tyler-Davis district, is called Brickhouse Bandits, presumably referencing all the purdy girls. On one side of the narrow space, Los Angeles artist Steven Lopez’s nudes in fantastic settings are rendered in shades of green, blue, lavender…
Uptown Players’ Dallas Pride Performing Arts Festival Kicked Off with Laughs and Packed Performances
It’s the first of its kind here in Dallas and it appears to be off to a smashing start. I’m referring to Uptown Players’ Dallas Pride Performing Arts Festival that kicked off this past Friday and runs through the September 17. I had the chance to check out three of…

Tony Cragg Has Viewers “Seeing Things” at the Nasher
Saturday night’s opening of Tony Cragg: Seeing Things at the Nasher had the museum packed with well-dressed Dallas art lovers humming and buzzing about the incredible body of work. Nights like that remind me of one of Dallas’ best features, gobs of arts’ patrons discussing and admiring and examining the…
Two Artists Are Reconstructing Perspective at Richland College’s Brazos Gallery
It was definitely not on my list of galleries to watch, until now. But when Ryder Richards sent out an announcement about the opening of Reconstructing Perspective at Brazos Gallery, I figured it wouldn’t hurt to get out of the regular gallery loop and see what’s going on just outside…
Who Wins in a Fight: Chimp or a Tiger? The Dallas Zoo Settles Debate
Last week I participated in a bit of a Facebook debate started by one of our Arts & Culture own (see above). With 38 comments, there was some heavy debate mixed in with the quips. Most skewed on the side of the tiger. But a few of us supported that…

The Master List: The Best Things To Do in Dallas This Weekend, September 9-11
Still haven’t figured out what you’re doing for Friday date night? Well it better be something more entertaining than the ABC prime time lineup, because your date’s not going to stand for that, and if you’re looking for cheap, it doesn’t get much cheaper than this unless you want to…
Few Turn Out for Retail Fashion’s Night Out
Last night, Dallas fashionistas united in celebration of the third annual Fashion’s Night Out. The “after hours shopping extravaganza” took place at, well, too many private events to count and a handful of public ones — two of which we style-scoped. The Galleria hosted a series of fashion shows on…
We Love Bacon. Kevin Bacon, That Is, At Last Night’s Nasher Salon
The cool thing about Kevin Bacon is that he doesn’t really seem like a movie star. He seems like, you know, a guy. The kind of guy it would be fun to hang out and shoot the shit with. He’s good looking, but not George Clooney good looking. He’s been…

Basking In The Glow Of The Sunshine Boys
Whatever you had planned for tonight, forget it. Go see The Sunshine Boys at the Eisemann Center in Richardson. If you can’t make it tonight, see it Saturday night at Casa Mañana in Fort Worth. After that, it’s gone, possibly to Broadway (there’s an offer on the table), or maybe…

France Can Forgive Some Celebrities, But Not John Galliano
Having already lost his position as creative director of his own fashion line and the Christian Dior label, John Galliano’s life just got worse. The former fashion designer was convicted in a Paris court today for racist and anti-Semitic remarks made at a bar in Paris earlier this year. He…
