Hollywood Undead
Spotlight show •If anyone doubts that the masked rap-rock ensemble Hollywood Undead has a conscience, consider this. When the band heard about the Newtown massacre, members tried to get the song “Kill Everyone” pulled from their new album “Notes From the Underground,” released on Jan. 8. Alas, it was too late, said Johnny 3 Tears. But the hard edge of the group remains, with some of its grittiest material yet ready to be unveiled live. Tears said he is “more inclined to write music when you’re emotional, in one direction or the other,” which explains his sadder, more brutal songs on the band’s third album. But he added, “I still like to party.” This time around, based on the group’s past commercial success, Hollywood Undead was in total control of what went on the album, with little label involvement. “It’s working with people you want to work with,” Tears said. The group also plans on continuing to wear the masks during the tour, for reasons other than scaring people. “It’s engaging in some degree,” Tears said. “I always felt it was important that there was never a face to [Hollywood Undead]. It could be anyone doing it. It breaks down barriers between us and the audience.”
When • Friday, Jan. 11, 6:30 p.m.
Where • In The Venue, 579 W. 200 South, Salt Lake City

Shemekia Copeland
Spotlight show • By the Chicago blues singer’s estimation, it has been about a decade since she last performed in Utah. So that’s why it seems fitting that Shemekia Copeland will have two nights of music to thrill Park City audiences. Copeland, 33, has had a year to remember, with her latest CD “33 1⁄3” being nominated for a Grammy at February’s awards show, as well as coming off a performance at the White House where she jammed with Buddy Guy and sang alongside Mick Jagger. “I wish I had a good story,” the singer said in a phone interview about how she was invited to sing for President Barack Obama. “They just called, and I couldn’t believe it. I was just so honored — it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.” Last week, Copeland’s manager told her that a contestant on the Hungarian version of the televised singing competition “The Voice” sang one of her songs, and Copeland said she didn’t even realize there was a Hungarian version of “The Voice.” But she was thrilled nevertheless, because it means her socially conscious message is being heard. “I’m about putting my message out into the universe,” she said. “What’s the point of being an artist if you can’t help out in some way?”
When • Friday and Saturday, Jan. 11 and 12, 8 p.m.

MOVIES • Listings by Sean P. Means
With the Oscar nominations fresh in our ears, one of the big Best Picture contenders finally arrives in Utah theaters.
“Zero Dark Thirty” is rightfully a Best Picture nominee, because it’s one of the sharpest, most thrilling and most thought-provoking movies of the year. Director Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal, the team that made “The Hurt Locker,” depicts in chilling detail the legwork, false starts and dogged analysis behind the hunt for terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden. It starts with waterboarding, which is not shown as something that works but as an example of the nation’s panicked response to 9/11. From there, Bigelow and Boal show how brains and determination paid off after many years. The focus here is on Jessica Chastain, starring as a CIA agent at the center of the search, in a performance that is as tight and intelligent as the film.
The big studio opening this week is “Gangster Squad,” a stylish but derivative cops-and-robbers movie set in ‘40s Los Angeles. It stars Josh Brolin and Ryan Gosling as L.A. cops charged with a deep-undercover mission to root out gangster Mickey Cohen (played by a scenery-chewing Sean Penn). Director Ruben Fleischer (“Zombieland”) cribs from the gangster canon, particularly from Brian De Palma’s “The Untouchables,” for a good-looking but empty experience.
The other studio movie this week is “A Haunted House,” a broad parody of the “Paranormal Activity” found-footage horror films and their ilk. It was not screened for critics.
The best on the art-house slate is “The Central Park Five,” a riveting documentary about a recent case of injustice – the arrest and conviction of five teens for the brutal 1989 rape and beating of a woman jogger in Central Park. Directors Ken Burns (yes, that Ken Burns), Sarah Burns (his daughter) and David McMahon (her husband) present the case with journalistic clarity and barely concealed anger, with an urgency that’s unusual considering Ken Burns’ trademark gentility. It’s also a page-turner of a story, fascinating from start to finish.
Lastly, the German drama “Barbara” is an intriguing character study of a Cold War-era doctor (Nina Hoss), contemplating escape to the West when she’s reassigned from Berlin to a rural East German hospital. Hoss’ performance, as a caring doctor torn between personal needs and professional duty, is quite engaging.
