Caliente Contest
The undisputed king of electric
blues is scheduled to play to a
packed audience Friday night at
Centennial Hall.

BB King is one of the most well-
known living blues musicians in
the world, and certainly the most
famous person to ever come out
of the tiny town of Itta Bena,
Miss.

The 2000 census pegged Itta
Bena's population at about 4,000
residents living within a 1.5
square mile area.

Yet the town still managed to
make it into the 2000 Coen
brothers film, "O Brother, Where
Art Thou?"

In the movie, a notorious
gangster terrorizing the the
Deep South stops George
Clooney's character Everett and
his crew and asks them how to
get to Itta Bena.

Name the gangster and the
actor who played him for a
chance to win a set of three
cookbooks.

Phil Villarreal has worked for the Daily Star since birth, but he's been the movie critic since February 2001. You could say he's a fan of the cinema. Each day he wakes up to a plate of steaming scrambled movies, which he washes down with a glass of movie juice, all while watching a movie. In his free time he plays video games and watches movies. Phil's new book, the humorous, money saving guide "Secrets of a Stingy Scoundrel" is due out Sept. 1 and available for preorder.

Rita of the Sky gets a redux

“Rita of the Sky,” the documentary that rocked the International Festival, will get an encore screening next weekend. Press release follows:

ENCORE SCREENINGS OF AWARD-WINNING DOCUMENTARY

The Screening Room is pleased to announce three encore screenings of the award-winning documentary RITA OF THE SKY on May 8, 9 & 10.

RITA OF THE SKY played to sold-out houses at the 2009 Arizona International Film Festival in April and received the “Best Feature Documentary” and “Best of Arizona” awards.

RITA OF THE SKY is a story that prowls the edges between cultures. A judge sends a mysterious woman to a Kansas mental hospital because, to officials, her language resembles the “guttural noises” of a mentally ill person. After 10 years, they learn she is a Tarahumara Indian from the Copper Canyon in Mexico, who had been speaking her native language all along. She had walked 1500 miles from her canyon village to Kansas. Emerging from captivity, she can no longer speak at all because of the drugs given to her in the hospital.

RITA OF THE SKY will screen on Friday, May 8 at 7:30pm, Saturday, May 9
at 7:30pm and Sunday, May 10 at 3:00pm. Filmmaker Kathryn Ferguson will introduce the film and will answer questions after the screenings. Admission is $8.
