Sunday, September, 15th Hot rods and hot planes: The Tucson Street Rod Association will display their “rides” at Pima Air & Space on the morning of Sun., Sep. 15, 2013. The Tucson Street Rod Association, the selfproclaimed oldest car enthusiast club in Tucson,organized their September group ride to see the planes at Pima Air & Space Museum and agreed to show off their “souped up” street rods juxtaposed with the museum’s outdoor collection. Street Rods: As the 1950s rolled into the ‘60s, teens (and professionals such as Ed “Big Daddy” Roth) customized cars so that they bore little resemblance to assembly-line productions. They became fantastic and futuristic creations, distinctly American including such statements as the addition of the iconic “Rat Fink” character of Ed Roth on the cars. (Rat Fink was a counter culture nod to Mickey Mouse. One story goes that Rat Fink’s appearance on a t-shirt typically yielded a student being expelled from school and thereby enabling that student to work on his customizing his car.) Tom Wolfe, in his 1963 article, “The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby,” described the hot rod trend as a communication of “alienation and rebellion that is so important to the teen-age ethos that customizing grew up in.” “Although the museum prefers to restore our air & space collection with historical accuracy, we believe museum visitors will enjoy these unique museum-worthy vehicles. We are grateful to the Tucson Street Rod

Association for sharing with us and the public,” stated Yvonne Morris, Executive Director of the Arizona Aerospace Foundation that operates the Pima Air & Space Museum. “Although I can’t promise which of our 60+ members’ great rods will be there—member attendance is optional—I can promise what shows will all look really cool next to the planes!” stated Perry Peradotto, event organizer and owner of a 1940 Chrysler New Yorker. He continued, “All of our vehicles are originally pre-1948 models. I can’t wait to photograph mine with the Blue Angel.” Viewing the cars (and photographing them) is included in the price of admissions, that price recently reduced to only $12.25 for Pima County residents. Although visitors are allowed to touch most of the planes at Pima Air & Space, the club respectfully requests the public refrain from touching their cars that will be on display from museum opening (9:00am) until approximately 1:00pm. Pima Air & Space Museum is located at 6000 E. Valencia Rd., just off I-19 exit 267, in Tucson. More information can be found at www.pimaair.org, on Facebook, or by calling 520 574-0462.
THE MINI-TIME MACHINE MUSEUM OF MINIATURES PRESENTS Netsuke and Diminutive Carvings from Japan Museum of Art and several private collections.
September 24th - December 8th Traditional Japanese garments did not have pockets, so netsuke were created as a toggle of sorts to secure a man’s pouch or inro (small box of three to five compartments) in place on the obi (belt) of his kimono. Walnut-size and elaborately carved of ivory, wood, ceramics and metal, the diminutive netsuke soon became a marker of wealth in a strict hierarchical society. It is hard to imagine that the intricately carved netsuke were not originally designed solely as miniature sculpture. Prized and loved long after the utilitarian purpose grew obsolete, today’s netsuke are created and collected for their magnificent design and awesome carving. This exhibit features 100 netsuke and other okimono (diminutive Japanese carvings) on loan from Phoenix Art Museum, Tucson Museum of Art, University of Arizona

CITY! COVER STORY
More than 100 vehicles to roll into the Oro Valley Classics Car & Truck Show, September 21 Admission is just $5 and children ages 10 and younger get in free. SAACA is still accepting applications for vehicle registration as well as exhibitors, sponsors and non-profits. “The venue is great up in Oro Valley because there’s other stuff around and plenty of parking,” said Allen Showalter, former owner of a 1968 Chevy Camaro and who participated in last year’s event. “It’s a great show.”
Southern Arizona Arts and Cultural Alliance presents 80 classes of vehicles, awards, live performances, kids’ activities and great food at Oro Valley Classics Car &Truck Show The keys that turn a car from auto to art rev in the detail – the minimalism appeal of a flat black paint job honoring the sleek design of a 1950s Ford truck, the careful brush strokes needed for masterful pin striping, the intricate murals painted on the hood of a Chevy Impala. There are miles between the average automobile, some refer to as “grocerygetters,” and a show car, fit for an exhibition. This September, all ages in the community can appreciate the artistry behind these adorned automobiles. The Oro Valley Classic Car and Truck Show, on Saturday, Sept. 21 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., will showcase the nearly 100 cars and trucks, live music, activities and all-American food at Oro Valley Marketplace, on the southwest corner of Oracle Road and Tangerine Road. “We began presenting car shows as a way to expose all forms of art, challenging the norm and approaching the question ‘what is art?’” said SAACA Executive Director Kate Marquez. Any enthusiast who spends $10,000 to $20,000 on a graphic paint job, masters the art of mural airbrushing or designs a charismatic car will support the artistic relevance of custom

vehicles, car restoration and the art that drives the industry. “The show is fun, educational and supports the arts, having raised thousands of dollars for arts education through the years,” said SAACA Executive Director Kate Marquez. This year, proceeds from the event help support both free arts education for youth in schools and therapeutic arts programs for veterans. As arts education continues to diminish in many schools, programs for youth to engage in art and music have become imperative for development milestones. SAACA has strived to fill this gap in education through free-to-attend music programs as well as present Music for Our Veterans, a series supporting the mental, emotional and communicative benefits of therapeutic arts. The charity event also features an award ceremony, announcing vehicle winners, with trophies given for Best of Show, Best Interior, Best Paint, Best Engine and People’s Choice. Recently, SAACA commissioned a local artist to create the trophies. Artist John Benedict fuses metal pieces together to create a mechanical look to the trophies, making each a unique piece of art. Mixing classic cars with classic food and music sets the show’s lively theme. Attendees can fill up on kettle corn, BBQ, quesadillas, lemonade and shaved ice while listening to rock and blues from Rhythm Incorporated, Vintage Sugar and Thick As Thieves.
September 4th, 2013 - September 10th, 2013
The engine behind design “Cars are thought of so much as a product that it’s a little difficult to get into the aesthetic side under the same terminology one would discuss art,” said Chris Bangle, chief of design for BMW Group, during a lecture in Monterey, Calif. “Cars-as-art brings it into an emotional plane, if you accept that,” he said, “that you would have to deal with on the same level that you would with art with a capital A.”
‘this is what control is all about,’ ‘this is how you show you’re a master of your craft’” he further explained the parallels. Designers require an artistic approach when creating a car or vehicle. Although most designers understand what is likely to transfer from model to reality, it is the engineers that sometimes put the brakes on certain artistic aspects that may not transfer to machine. “What we’re interested in is finding form that’s more than just a function,” Bangle spoke on behalf of designers. “We’re interested in finding beauty that’s more than just an aesthetic.” Just as many artists would define a means to express themselves through their work, he brought the inspiration for designing cars to its roots. “It’s really a truth,” he said.
Oro Valley Classics Car and Truck Show
He contrasted this concept to automobiles which serve a purpose as a mode of transportation, not necessarily invoking an emotional side through visuals. “Cars are a sculpture,” Bangle said. “Every car you see out here is sculpted by hand.”
Oro Valley Marketplace, southwest corner of Oracle Road and Tangerine Road Saturday, Sept. 21 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Car show and concert $5 per person, 10 and under free Car show registration is $30 (late fees apply after Sept. 13) Online: www.ovcarshow.org Phone: (520) 797-3959
He compared the vehicle designers, who often work in clay, with great sculptors – showing images of famous statues alongside car model designing within workshops. “They put that same kind of tension into the sculpting of a car that you do in a great sculpture you would look at in a museum – that tension between the need to express, the need to discover. “And at the same time, you have bounds of craftsmanship – rules that say ‘this is how you handle surfaces,’

REVIEWERS ROUNDTABLE The following are reactions from each of AZ Weekly Entertainment Magazine’s film commentators in an effort to generate a well-rounded overview of this weekend’s new releases.
‘Adore’ Naomi Watts and Robin Wright play childhood friends and neighbors who fall for each other’s sons (Ben Mendelsohn and Xavier Samuel). (R - 105 minutes) Stan: Rising above the ‘instinctual scandalous’ feelings at the onset, the earnestness of the performances is the primary ingredient in presenting an emotionally charged story on where the societal line is drawn on the types of relationships that are acceptable. Joseph: Benefitting from a pair of nuanced performances and a subtle-yet-insightful study of the female psyche, “Adore” overcomes its initial creepiness to make a meaningful statement about the effects that “taboo” has on relationships.
‘Ain’t Them Bodies Saints’ Casey Affleck plays an outlaw who escapes from prison and sets out across the Texas hills to reunite with his wife (Rooney Mara) and the daughter he has never met. Ben Foster also stars. (NR - 97 minutes) Randy: A beautifully shot and wellacted American drama. Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara shine in their tragically romantic roles. Joseph: There is an awful lot of substance packed into several aspects of “Ain’t Them Bodies Saints” - except for its story, which is so meager that it cannot sustain viewers’ interest for the film’s relatively brief runtime.
‘Hell Baby’
‘The Kings of Summer’
Leslie Bibb and Rob Corddry play an expectant couple that moves into the most haunted house in New Orleans and call upon the services of the Vatican’s elite exorcism team to save them from a demonic baby. (R - 98 minutes)
Nick Robinson, Gabriel Basso and Moises Arias play three teenage friends who, in the ultimate act of independence, decide to spend their summer building a house in the woods and living off the land. (PG-13 - 93 minutes)
Joseph: “Hell Baby” starts off sinfully hilarious. But as the events get increasingly irregular, the jokes many of which are repeated over and over and over until the viewer feels bludgeoned to death - get decreasingly diverting.
Stan: Reflective of those times in our lives when each of us felt that our generation is misunderstood, director Jordan Vogt-Roberts presents a view that serves as lessons for both young teens and adults alike, to strive just a bit harder to find common ground for communication.
BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW! by Stan Robinson
The original title of the horror classic ‘Halloween’ (1978) was originally going to be ‘The Babysitter Murders’

Randy: My favorite film at the Phoenix Film Festival this year. This coming of age comedy easily entertains teens, young adults and discerning audiences alike. With a competent director, a superb script, and a talented young cast, you have the most enjoyable film of the summer. Joseph: “The Kings of Summer” is one of the most refreshingly original motion pictures that you will see all year. It is quirky, charming, funny, sophisticated and incredibly creative, extracting a sweet-natured emotional resonance from its teenage tale.
Coincidentally, while prepping for an interview with the director of ‘Stoker’ (2013), Chan-wook Park, ‘The Interpreter’ was airing on one of the cable channels. It prompted memories of working on ‘To Die For’, and the films of Nicole Kidman. Mentioning Nicole Kidman’s performance during my conversation with Chan-wook Park he shared this insight about Nicole Kidman’s performance in ‘Stoker’: “Nicole is an actor who, if she had chosen to do so, could have stayed on more stable choices with big films and made a lot of money. The fact that she has chosen to be adventurous about role choices makes her a very brave actor, and, she continues to make those courageous choices. Its very, very admirable and commendable.”
Over the last 25+ years of media production, working with various production persons left permanent lifelong indelible imprints. These imprints spans the totality of production slots, from producers and directors, various crew persons, to actors.
For actors, one of my memorable experiences is working on ‘To Die For’ (1995) starring Matt Dillon and,
I’ve often commented that ‘There’s movie stars, and, there’s actors’; Nicole Kidman is ‘One heck of an actor!’
STAN ROBINSON
Nicole Kidman, stayed with me throughout the years, prompting a firm admirer of Nicole Kidman’s work. With a career spanning over 30 years, at the top of my list is ‘The Peacemaker’ (1997), ‘Cold Mountain’ (2003), ‘The Interpreter’ (2005), ‘The Invasion’ (2007), ‘Australia’ (2008), ‘The Paperboy’ (2012), and ‘Stoker (2013) with a truly disturbing character portrayal.
Stan Robinson’s reviews reflect the insights of an insider. With more than 22 years of experience in media production, Stan uses his behind-the-scenes expertise to survey a film’s technical attributes and considers the challenges that had to be overcome in order to cinematically present a story.

ZONA 78 GETS A 100!!! By Brianda Guerrero
Student at Caridad Community Kitchen
Head west onto River Rd and into Zona 78 for some Italian specialties and some great service, amazing food and ambience that will make you have to return again and again. The sight of the fire in the stone pizza oven at the entrance is very inviting and sets the mood for what is to come. As we were taken to our window booth, the scent of fresh cooked and baked foods tickled my nose. Our server greeted us promptly and took the time to answer all our questions. The fun started as we looked over all the appetizers, entrees, pastas, salads and pizzas on their menu. We started with sharing 3 items: flatbread topped with brie cheese, diced apples and prosciutto, a bruschetta with local tomatoes and fresh pulled mozzarella and finally a Strawberry Fields salad with fresh goat cheese, toasted almonds and a honey and white balsamic dressing. I have to say that the brie cheese and apple flatbread was something else, and the perfectly combined ingredients are
what made me want to break out of my routine food and try something new. The service was attentive, informative and relaxed as our waitress brought us one beautifully presented course after another. Our entrees were Ceder Planked Salmon that was nice and moist presented on the plank it was roasted on, Baked Idaho Rainbow Trout with Yukon Gold Potatoes and Smoky Bacon and Pork OssoBuco with Goat Cheese Creamy Polenta that melded together perfectly. A dessert trio was the perfect ending to a great evening of dining.
