Although she does show landscapes in her photographs, Sarah Pickering was not planning to add to the canon of picturesque English landscape artworks when she made a series of images at an abandoned RAF base in Lincolnshire. In each image, the rather ordinary terrain is enlivened by an explosion -- in Fuel Air Explosion, it's a bright fireball; in Landmine, she captured an eruption of trailing sparks; and in Artillery, a giant puff of smoke. The trio of Pickering photos appears in Manmade: Notions of Landscape From the Lannan Collection, an exhibit of about 40 works by nine artists that opens Friday, Oct. 9, at the New Mexico Museum of Art. Although landscape is an organizing theme for the exhibition, it's really just a stage for Pickering.

If you're interested in Native American languages and movie depictions of them, here's a fine contrast: a pair of 1894 films purportedly showing Sioux ghost and buffalo dances and the 2007 film Nikamowin. The latter, by Kevin Lee Burton (Swampy Cree), features rhythmic chantings of Cree phrases against a hypnotic montage of landscapes. Nikamowin is a small masterpiece of abstract filmmaking, but it also illuminates an important issue: that Native languages, indispensable to their cultures, must be preserved. The very short films from 1894, staged by inventor Thomas Edison using Indian performers from Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, are among the world's first motion pictures (the oldest extant film is Roundhay Garden Scene, made in England just six years earlier). Edison's Indians, clad ...
(2006) (Shown on film): The unknowability of people gets a work-through in Macky Alston's documentary on the strange tale of Bob Bechtel. In 1955 Bechtel gunned down fellow Swarthmore student Holmes Strozier. Not five years later he was declared not guilty by reason of insanity and set free, whereupon he started a family, became a respected college professor and kept his past a secret to all. Bechtel himself is chillingly opaque; he seems to have rectified his past with his present, which is infinitely more troubling than someone who can't get a read on their own psyche. Sadly, Alston's decision to focus largely on Bechtel's daughter Carrah winds up crippling the film. Her singleminded quest to rationalize the man who raised her with a one-time murderer winds up limiting Alston's focus ...

Writer/director Andrew Dominik's endlessly delayed follow-up to his 2000 cult smash Chopper is a maddening, mesmerizing wonder. We begin after the glory days are already long over, with big brother Frank James (Sam Shepard) retiring and heading east, leaving his puzzling younger sibling to fend for himself. Uprooting his family to skitter all over Missouri under the pseudonym "Thomas Howard," Brad Pitt's [Jesse James] is restless and fretful-a man dwarfed by his own outsized reputation. Twitchy, unnerving and slowly eaten away by paranoia, Pitt has never been better. Then there's Bob Ford, portrayed by casey Affleck in a performance so creepy and beady-eyed it's an icky revelation. Bob's grown up idolizing the legendary gunslinger and desperately pines for sidekick status. But when [Bil...

A legal challenge by a half-dozen Klickitat County landowners who oppose a national recreation trail along an abandoned rail bed may cost the project $240,000 in federal money that Congress had earmarked for trail improvements this year. The 31-mile Klickitat Trail follows the canyon of the Klickitat River at its lower end and offers an easy route through dramatic landscapes in the transition zone between the Cascades and Eastern Washington, where recreation trails are scarce.
