Cranky Hanke’s Weekly Reeler Oct. 7-13: A bleak week
Well, we had a pretty decent crop of movies last week. This would be the week to catch up with some of them. How bad are this week’s offerings? Well, I’m leaving town to avoid seeing them. OK, so that’s an exaggeration.
Brews News

This weekend on a shoestring
Oh autumn, we love you with your crisp air, your bright colors, your proximity to Halloween, your shorter days but long nights in which to hear good music or (as is the case with this weekend) take in edgy new art. Big fun, small cover charge.
Coffee talk, horses and Shakespeare
Women own more than 10 million firms in the United States, employ more than 13 million people and generate more than $2 trillion in sales, according to SCORE, a nonprofit that finds current and retired business leaders to volunteer their time as mentors to small-business owners.

The venture brings together Charlie Gerencer, a producer of the successful annual Laugh Your Asheville Off Comedy Festival and an Emmy-nominated former producer of NBC's Last Comic Standing, and John […]
"Let’s just see what happens when it counts"
If anyone had asked drummer Steve Gorman, back in 2002, if he'd ever tour with The Black Crowes again, the answer would have been a resounding no. "I quit," he tells Xpress. "I said for sure I'm not coming back. We were completely burnt out and exhausted." Now, a reunion and two albums later (just-released […]
"Get out the plow, get out there and do it"
Malcolm Holcombe has a clear sense of the bigger picture. Critics sing his praises, his peers hold him in the highest esteem (Steve Earle called him "the best musician I ever threw out of my recording studio"), and he plays to adoring fans across the United States and Europe. But Holcombe is surprisingly quick to […]
Sound Track
• Take2 by WillBmusic The inspiration of singer/songwriter Will Baker, Take2 is one of those totally DIY projects. Baker performs all the instruments on this collection of 14 mellow, languidly groovy tracks (exception: "The Hill" is a collaboration with songwriter Jon Oakley). "Beautiful Moment" has a fluid feel from the jazzy cymbal taps to the […]
The Dirt: A room with a natural view
My grandmother "Nana" had a room with a view: A scarlet oak was perfectly framed by her window at the assisted-living home. Nana had moved there when she was 83, leaving behind the Canton abode where she had lived for more than 50 years. I visited her often, but I'm ashamed to admit, I went […]

Eliada Homes’ new corn maze puts you in the thick of it
It's a massive field of green. The tall and tasseled corn covers about 10 acres of land on the campus of Eliada Homes for Children just off Leicester Highway in West Asheville. Inside, more than 3 miles of trails have been carved in the shape of castle towers and walls. It's Eliada Home for Children's […]
Naming rights
Town Mountain loves Asheville. So much so, in fact, that they named their band after one of the city's most recognizable natural landmarks. And, says bassist Barrett Smith, they can't stop talking about it. Criss-crossing the nation, spreading their adrenaline-filled blend of aggressive bluegrass and traditional country, it's obvious to the band that people are […]
Larry D. Chastain
Occupation: supervisor, ABCCM Party affiliation: Democrat Political experience: none Endorsements: Just regular people Larry D. Chastain 1) How much money have you raised for your campaign? Who are your top three donors, and how much has each contributed? I am not about raising money. City Council should represent real people, it should not be bought […]
Outdoors: Let the healing begin
I usually try to pay my debts, and I had a big one. In August, I biked Bent Creek trails during a storm, an adventure that got me a good story but may have marred the routes some folks work hard to maintain (see "All Wet: A Cyclist (Almost) Outruns the Tempest," (Aug. 12 Xpress). […]
My One and Only
The Story: A divorcée -- and her two sons -- goes on a journey to find a new husband to support her. The Lowdown: An utterly charming, often very funny little movie that re-establishes Renée Zellweger as an actress of note.
Cranky Hanke’s Weekly Reeler Sept. 23-29: A bit of a lull
We’re getting a little bit of a break this week—though it probably feels more that way to me, since I’ve already seen and reviewed three of the six movies opening this week for Wednesday’s Xpress: Bright Star, Not Quite Hollywood and Timecrimes. That, however, is part of the reason that I’m perfectly fine with getting a break.
