Works by Georgia O’Keeffe and her contemporaries come to Tampa, on loan from Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts.

Georgia O’Keeffe, Deer’s Skull with Pedernal, 1936, oil on canvas.
The genesis of modern American art
Though name recognition eluded most of them - Georgia O'Keeffe is an exception - early 20th century artists turned away from European ideals and instead created their own.

Film
Family Movie Guide
The Family Movie Guide should be used along with the Motion Picture Association of America rating system for selecting movies suitable for children. Only films rated G, PG or PG-13 are included in this weekly listing, along with occasional R-rated films that may have entertainment or educational value for older children with parental guidance. Compiled by St. Petersburg Times film critic Steve Persall.
Top five movies and upcoming releases
Current movies recommended by the Times:
Also opening: All muscles, no brain
Into the Blue (PG-13) makes it an endless summer with a far-fetched plot and skimpy swimwear. Where was this movie in July when such beefcake, cheesecake and baloney was easier to swallow?

Film review
'Oliver' without a twist
The scenery is about the only thing worthy of note in the latest film adaptation of Oliver Twist.
Indie Flicks: A puzzle wrapped in a good story
A History of Violence (R) (96 min.) - Tom Stall is the nicest guy in his small Indiana town, a family man running a chummy diner. Joey Cusack is a cold-blooded mob monster from Philadelphia. The possibility that these disparate personalities exist in the same person propels the most accessible film of David Cronenberg's career.
Fatal attraction
Werner Herzog's amazing documentary Grizzly Man chronicles one man's costly obsession with Alaska's bears.
Golf movie should be a hit with audiences
Actor Bill Paxton scores an ace with The Greatest Game Ever Played, rolling a sports film, family flick and socially conscious drama into one good movie.
Innovation at warp speed
The film cliches of space adventure are largely jettisoned in Serenity, replaced by unpredictable action and complex characters.

Hot Ticket: Frightfully fun
The scaring season begins this weekend as Busch Gardens and Universal Studios rev up their Halloween fright fests, Howl-O-Scream and Halloween Horror Nights.

Inside Information
Hispanic hoopla

Weekend trivia
LAST WEEK: Charles Burgess of Port Richey knew that Bob Saget is the unseen narrator of How I Met Your Mother.

Music
Hot Ticket: Orchestra offers a taste of the season
The official opening night of the Florida Orchestra's 2005-06 season is still a week or so away, on Oct. 8, but there are a pair of preseason concerts this weekend. One of the season's themes is to play all nine Beethoven symphonies, and his Eighth is the centerpiece of Saturday's performance at 7:30 p.m. at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater. Also on the agenda: Stravinsky's Octet and Haydn's Symphony No. 88. Music director Stefan Sanderling is scheduled to be on the podium, though he probably will have to conduct while seated on a stool, or perhaps in a wheelchair, since he is recovering from a fall in August that resulted in fractures in both feet and his left shoulder. Tickets are $15.50 to $50.50.
Good intentions reunite duo
Loggins & Messina go back on the road after a joint charity appearance reminds them how much they like to play together.
Music: Ticket window
All American Rejects, 7 p.m. Nov. 2, Jannus Landing, St. Petersburg. Tickets $18-$20 on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday at the box office or Ticketmaster (813) 287-8844, (727) 898-2100 or www.ticketmaster.com

Stage
Hot Ticket: A musical of comic repute
HUDSON - When it first opened in 1978, most newspapers and theaters advertised it as The Best Little W****house in Texas, but now the show is so popular that many folks consider it a family outing.
