www.connectsavannah.com/culture

I believe the common character of the universe is not harmony, but hostility, chaos, and murder.

– Werner Herzog The great director Werner Herzog spoke those words in a voiceover for his 2005 amazing documentary Grizzly Man, about an eccentric environmentalist, Timothy Treadwell, who ends up mauled to death by one of the very creatures he’s devoted his life to studying, understanding, and protecting.

The voiceovers in the film are few, but when they come they are devastating. Over a visual of a sniffing, edgy, and hungry grizzly, Herzog explains in his dry, apocalyptic German accent: “What haunts me is that in all the faces of all the bears that Treadwell ever filmed, I discover no kinship, no understanding, no mercy. I see only the overwhelming indifference of nature. To me there’s not such a thing as the secret world of the bears. And this blank stare speaks only of a half-bored interest in food. But for Timothy Treadwell, this bear was a friend, a savior.”

It is Herzog’s singular genius that he can be humanistic in his respect for Treadwell’s physical courage and moral discipline, but at the same time can hammer home the futility of Treadwell’s quest – and by extension, the ultimate futility of all human conceit.

I grant you that Herzog is an acquired taste.

But if you’ve been watching this deeply embarrassing and profoundly insulting presidential campaign — virtually none of it dealing in any way with even one of the pressing issues facing your family and the world right now — it’s clear to me that Herzog is probably justified in his nihilistic worldview.

Oh, well, enough happy talk.

I’ve been a fan of Herzog since seeing his Aguirre, Wrath of God, and Grizzly Man only cemented my awe at his talent for cutting through tripe. Imagine my glee at finding out that Herzog’s latest work, Encounters at the End

of the World, is the headline attraction at the upcoming Grays Reef Ocean Film Festival. In addition, the festival features several works by local filmmakers, including Jim and Mari Carswell and Michael Jordan. Read more in Linda Sickler’s coverage beginning on page 11.

Indeed, the word of the week is movies. On page 32 you’ll find Jim Reed’s overview of a new art-house series at a local multiplex and the inaugural Savannah Gay & Lesbian film series. In addition, Reel Savannah is bringing in the documentary Man on Wire (page 34).

I’d like to introduce a new freelancer, Patrick Rodgers, who pens the gripping account on page 14 of last week’s (ultimately futile) rally in Atlanta in support of Savannah’s Troy Davis, who is sentenced to die later this month. Patrick is a former contributing editor at The South and we heartily welcome his work in our paper.

So last week the Savannah Morning News reported that because of Hurricane Ike’s effect on the Gulf oil industry, prices at the pump would

likely go up about 65 cents a gallon.

Lo and behold, within hours of that story running, prices in most of Savannah rose to — yup, almost exactly 65 cents a gallon higher, about $4.39.

How prescient. And how interesting that the industry “experts” cited by the Morning News could predict to the penny how much your local Parker’s or Enmark would raise prices.

Yes, how interesting — especially considering the fact that when I was in Charleston this past Sunday, I filled up my tank — for $3.69 a gallon. While you were paying $4.39.

From Myrtle Beach to Georgetown on down to Edisto, gas prices average well under $4. Only as you get close to Suckerville — uh, Savannah — are there big price increases.

Now, there’s always going to be some nimrod who e-mails me saying, “Jim, you fail to grasp the complexities of the free market,” yada-yada.

Maybe. But I do know price-gouging when I see it. And I’ve lived long enough in Savannah to know why we’re now paying nearly a dollar more a gallon than Charleston: Savannah is a town full of easy marks, who balk at paying ten bucks to see a play or concert but who’ll pay any price at the pump without a peep, and who’ll pay any amount in local taxes, asking little or nothing in return.

This is a town that constantly brags about having the fastest-growing port in the country — it’s so close to key transportation routes!

— but never stops to wonder why gas is still so much more expensive here than elsewhere.

And it’s a town with more than its share of businesspeople who are more than happy to take advantage of the above facts.

Like I said, Werner Herzog may be pessimistic — but he’s almost always right. cs

Step right up!

Check out the lovely Sarah Palin!

Editor, Sarah Palin shows her pretty teeth and shakes her cute evangelical behind while McCain’s campaign ads mirror a carnival barker shouting empty slogans to get the fools into the circus tent and waste their vote and money for another four years.

Obama is not giving the warning necessary to save the poor bumpkins at the mercy of the

corporate media’s schmoozing this reelection towards the looniest, greediest gang of war making dogs ever passed off as concerned leaders in the history of this nation.

It may just take another four more years of suffering to get people to the point where they’re finally angry enough to make Marie Antoinette’s head eat cake without her body attached.

A political revolution may yet be had with the election of Barack Obama if everybody urges him to wake up and read the realistic take on life on www.matrix-evolutions.

com that replaces the liberal fascism conjured up by the conservative castrate, George Bush, and is currently peddled by his cancerprone surrogate, John McCain, and his lovely assistant, Sarah Palin, who is about as qualified to be president as Cindy McCain.

What I find particularly offensive about Ms. Palin is her blatant hypocrisy. She calls herself pro-life, yet she kills defenseless animals for fun (as in all the moose she’s happily bagged).

The sanctity of life extends to animals as well.

City Council implements controversial taxi rules by linda sickler | linda@connectsavannah.com

A discussion about a new taxi ordinance turned contentious at the Savannah City Council’s Sept. 11 meeting.

Taxi drivers will now be required to wear identifiable uniforms. That is just one of the changes taxi companies and drivers must make to comply, but it’s the one that prompted the most heated discussion.

Companies also must have a listing in the Yellow Pages so that customers will be able to reach them. Drivers will no longer be able to smoke in taxis between fares -- in fact, smoking in taxis is prohibited at all times.

The purpose of the ordinance is to improve taxi service for customers.

City staff worked with taxi owners and drivers for two years to hammer out the changes, but apparently didn‘t reach everyone.

A.J. Garnes, owner of a local cab company, who identified herself as representing the non-profit Savannah Regional Transportation and Hospitality Association, wasn’t happy.

“We have not been included in any of the meetings or submission of ideas, even when we submitted two petitions,” Garnes said, adding that she e-mailed Alderman Van Johnson 27 times without getting a response.

“I did meet very briefly with Alderman Osborne, but she referred us to the Chamber of Commerce,” Garnes said.

“Just about all of the aldermen have received all of our e-mails or letters. I’ve gotten no response, except from Alderman Sprague, who suggested I stop complaining.”

Even Alderman Jeff Felser came under fire, even though he approached Garnes about the issue at a union picnic a year ago. “However, I haven’t heard anything from you since,” she told Felser.

Garnes told the council that forcing drivers to wear uniforms is illegal and would be impossible to enforce. She also said getting a landline to have a Yellow Pages listing is “antiquated” in a world of e-mail and Web pages.

City Manager Michael Brown said the city first addressed deportment of cab drivers several years ago. “We tried to make those requirements at a high

standard, and I believe for the most part, we achieved that,” he said. “Nevertheless, the ordinance is indefinite.

“There are people who wear tank tops and T-shirts and shorts,” Brown said. “It’s not a pleasant experience to sit in a cab with a driver who has body odor and is wearing a tank top.

“We’re simply saying they have to wear a shirt with a collar,” he said. “It’s not expensive today to have a shirt that has a collar. It’s not expensive for people to comply with good basic cleanliness.”

Garnes kept insisting her group had no notification of meetings, but the aldermen insisted that several meetings were held over the past two years and that she was clearly notified.

“The issue goes beyond whether or not someone was invited,” Mayor Otis Johnson said. “The issue is, are these reasonable requirements? If they aren’t, send the staff back to the drawing board. If say are, we need to vote on it and be done with it.”

Garnes persisted, saying at one point, “You’re not going to be able to legislate class. It’s time to stop being close-minded. No other city requires uniforms. It’s against the law.”

At that point, the mayor lost his patience. “I’ve tried to be polite to you and you’ve pushed my buttons,” he told Garnes. “If you don’t like it, take us to court.”

Alderman Cliffton Jones cast the lone dissenting vote. Aldermen Edna Jackson and Tony Thomas were absent to attend a conference for city officials.

To offset the cost of implementing the changes, taxi companies can now use rooftop advertising. A taxi fuel surcharge ordinance also was approved to offset rising fuel prices.

The surcharge will allow companies to charge passengers a $1 fee per trip when gas prices are between $3.40 and $4 per gallon, and a $2 fee when prices rise above $4. The surcharge will be determined using the American Automobile Association’s Southeast regular gas average.

The surcharge will expire in March.

At that time, the Consumer Price Index will adjust rates automatically and will reflect increasing fuel costs. cs

Hear & Now

by Robin Wright Gunn | rgunnsav@bellsouth.net

What I did on my summer vacation With summer giving way to fall, memories of week long trips in June and July are spinning into two-minutelong September anecdotes. Last week at supper I heard tales of a summer cruise to Greenland, a driving trip gone awry on the Blue Ridge Parkway, and a family adventure in pursuit of Dungeness crab on the rainy Oregon Coast.

I spent much of my summer with a family of grain and pig farmers in Iowa, a boy and a tiger stranded in a lifeboat in the Pacific Ocean, an insane king in medieval England, and a salesman in Prague who turned into a cockroach.

These travelogues all took place on Wednesdays at the intersection of Bull and Washington, courtesy of The Learning Center at Senior Citizens, Inc and the public schools. They’re the stories behind four literary works found on this year’s Summer Reading List

for rising senior high school students in the local public school system. Two are novels: A Thousand Acres, by Jane Smiley, and Life of Pi by Yann Martell.

One is a play, William Shakespeare’s King Lear. The fourth, Metamorphosis, is a novella by Franz Kafka.

For this unlikely global journey, I took the job of cruise director, dusting off my 25-year-old unused English degree and putting it to use as instructor for two six-week-long courses at The Learning Center, as part of a program called “Seniors to Seniors.” The intent of the first-time program was to bring together adults over age 55 with rising high school seniors, for lively, crossgeneration discussion about books on the teens’ summer reading list.

Alas, only two or three high school seniors signed up for any of the onehour-per-week courses offered this summer, and none signed up for mine.

The lack of teenagers in our classes was lamented but didn’t hinder our energy level, and gave us extra discussion time.

It wasn’t necessary to explain to a gathering of senior citizens what life was like during the American recession of 1979, the time period for A Thousand Acres.

What I didn’t fully comprehend is how much energy it would take for me to keep up with the students, most of whom were in their 60s and 70s, and at least one over 80. Among them were a retired history professor, a retired attorney, a retired marine science educator, a current Cultural Affairs commissioner, a retired nurse, and a retired theater director. Their degrees were from prestigious universities—Vanderbilt, UNC at Chapel Hill, Emory, University of Chicago. Many had masters’ and a few held Ph. D.’s. An intimidating group.

Each week my role was to launch the conversation and play devil’s advocate.

We found ourselves debating everything from “What is truth?” to “What is life?” We pondered sensitive topics like mental illness, sexual relationships and race. We talked about stories of hope and despair—those of the characters,

and those of our own.

We ate cookies and laughed and disagreed and recommended books to each other.

It took three hours to prepare to lead each one-hour session, and I was exhausted at the end of each Wednesday.

I gained a new appreciation for teachers and the prep work they must do to keep students’ attention all day every day.

I sent up a little prayer of thanks for my high school English teachers, Beulah Harper Nettles, Richard Braithwaite and Paul Worley, whose lessons somehow came back to me 30 years after I last sat in their classes.

All the students were eager participants, and there was no homework or testing. But had there been grading, everyone was the star student this summer, and they all deserved A’s in my book. cs Fall courses at The Learning Center at Senior Citizens, Inc. begin Wednesday, September 24.

2008 Gray’s Reef Ocean Film Festival makes waves with more than 50 films

by linda sickler | linda@connectsavannah.com

Legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog focuses on lifeand-death questions about the future of the planet in his documentary Encounters at the End of the World.

Herzog filmed scientists at the South Pole to create the film, which will be presented Sept. 19 at Trustees Theater as part of the 2008 Gray’s Reef Ocean Film Festival. This year’s festival runs Sept. 18-21 with guest speakers and more than 50 films.

A film by Feodor Pitcairn, Ocean Voyager, will open the festival on Sept. 18 at the Jepson Center auditorium. The festival will feature something for everyone, ranging from films for children to award-winning documentaries.

The filmmakers come in a wide range, too. There will be everything from documentaries created by National Geographic to student films created by students at the Savannah College of Art and Design, who will be vying for the Dr. Robert O. Levitt prize for emerging filmmakers.

While Herzog’s film might make the biggest splash, it is the films created by locals that will be warming hearts. The world premiere of Turtle Dance by Jim and Mari Carswell of Savannah will be presented Sept. 20.

“It’s a film about an amazing recovery for the most endangered sea turtle, the Kemp’s Ridley,” says Jim Carswell, a former news anchor for WSAV and WTOC. “In the mid1980s, there were only 300 of these turtles left.”

Historical records show that at one

time, as many as 40,000 Kemp’s Ridley turtles nested in a single day. When their numbers declined so drastically, the United States and Mexico united in a unique effort to save the endangered species.

“What’s really amazing is that this project is being held up as a role model because of its holistic approach,” Mari Carswell says. “They partnered with shrimpers to save the turtles.”

The turtles nest only on a remote beach in Northeastern Mexico. “The villagers were taking the eggs and using them for food,” Mari says. “It’s a very poor area.”

“The people typically live in shacks, with no electricity, no running water, no phones,” Jim says. “They had no way to make a living. They were focusing on the turtle as a source of food.”

“Then people started buying eggs by the truck loads,” Mari says. “The shrimpers helped build a kiln. Teachers were brought in from the University of South Texas to teach the people how to make pottery.”

Today, the residents have established a business creating and selling turtle-themed pottery around the world. “Now they have a pride in the turtles and can make money by keeping the turtles alive,” Mari says.

The Carswells will answer questions after the screening of Turtle

A still from Jim and Mari Carswell’s Turtle Dance

Dance and they’ll also have samples of the pottery on display. “We’d like to try to get it into aquariums to sell to help sustain the effort,” Mari says.

Through the project, the turtles are rebounding. Their numbers have grown from 300 to 7,500.

“They’re hoping to release a million hatchlings,” Jim says. “That sounds like a lot, but only one in a thousand will reach adulthood.”

Mari was developing the Wild American Shrimp campaign when she learned about the Kemp’s Ridley turtle through a shrimper. The Carswells knew they had a story that was begging to be told.

“Typically, the shrimper has been seen as the nemesis of sea turtles,” Jim says. “Here, they are using their own money to bring the turtles back. It made for a great story.”

“This is the only turtle that nests in the light of day,” Mari says. “We have the first underwater footage ever taken of the turtle, because it’s so rare.”

The project has been led by Dr. Pat Burchfield, director of the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, Texas. In the film, he is seen swimming with the turtles.

“On the shore, the turtles are brown and sandy, and blend with the beach,” Mari says. “Everyone describes them as brown and ugly.

“We took Pat down to an area near Cancun where we were able to film in a natural lagoon,” she says. “When the turtles went into the lagoon, all of a sudden they turned brilliant copper, with teal appendages. They were beau-

tiful! Everyone’s jaws were dropping.

It’s so rare, few people have seen it.”

The film includes a scene that was filmed at the Georgia Sea Turtle Center on Jekyll Island. “They’ve been helping treat teenage turtles who were found off Cape Cod, where they got too cold and got into trouble,” Mari says.

“There’s a bit of mystery about what happens to the hatchlings,” Jim says. “We’re hoping to help connect the dots of what happens to these turtles after they leave the beach. They travel all way up the East Coast to Cape Cod, then return 13 years later.

It takes them 13 years to reach sexual maturity.”

“Right now, we’re in danger of losing a lot of species because of man’s issues,” Mari says. “The bottom line is this project is showing that with help and effort, we can reverse what we’re doing.”

“A lot of people say it’s just a turtle,” Jim says. “But take any turtle away and it throws the environment out of balance. That’s why it’s important to bring back every species we can.”

Creating the film wasn’t easy. The turtles nest only when it’s hot and windy. “That’s their cover,” Mari says.

“They wait for the wind to blow and the sand to pick up.

“Once a turtle lays its eggs, it rocks back and forth and does a turtle dance,” Mari says. “That’s where the film got its name. It rocks its body like crazy.”

Turtle Dance isn’t the only world premiere at the festival. Local filmcontinues on p. 12

maker Michael Jordan will be premiering his film, Jane Yarn: Marsh Lady of the Georgia Coast.

Yarn was Jimmy Carter’s top environmental adviser, first when he was governor in the 1960s, then later, when he was president.

“They didn’t use the term environmentalist then,” Jordan says. “She was a conservationist. This was back before the environment was a divisive issue. She was bi-partisan, and able to work across the political aisle.”

Yarn, who died in 1995 of breast cancer, was the wife of an Atlanta physician. “She had a life of privilege, to some extent,” Jordan says. “In the late 60s, they went on a safari in Africa and it changed her life. She came home and became an activist.”

One of the early leaders of the Nature Conservancy, Yarn particularly loved the coast. “She was able to round up massive support around the state in an effort to save the barrier islands,” Jordan says. “That was back

when developers wanted to mine the barrier islands and dump the waste in the marshes. She got garden club ladies all over the state to write letters.

At one point, Yarn convinced her husband to buy two of the barrier islands. They brought other donors onboard to help save them.

“She was able to help save Cumberland Island when the developers wanted to put in something like Hilton Head,” Jordan says. “She helped to keep the coast wild. Georgia has the majority of the East Coast’s salt marshes, so she realized that was a treasure.”

Yarn was a member of the Council for Environmental Quality. “Her crowning achievement was during the last few days of the Carter administration, when President Carter was dealing with the Iran hostage crisis,” Jordan says. “She walked in and got him to sign legislation for what became Gray’s Reef.”

To honor Yarn, a Gray’s Reef re-

Jordan says. “That includes people who served on the ships and people who worked on them, including three Brunswick sisters who were welders.”

Creating the Yarn film took four to five years. Jordan wants audiences to appreciate Yarn’s accomplishments.

“Hopefully, they’ll take away an understanding of how much difference one person can make,” he says.

“Second, they’ll see how the land and sea are connected. Third, hopefully, they’ll realize environmentalism is not a left-wing issue.” cs

“There were 30,000 people between the two shipyards who built just under 200 ships,” Jordan says. “They had six slips at each shipyard, and each week they finished a ship that

search vessel, actually an old Navy vessel, was named after her. When the ship became outdated and unusable, it was deliberately sunk to create an artificial reef for fish and other denizens of the deep. In creating the 30-minute documentary, Jordan interviewed Carter, Yarn’s husband and two of her mentors.

“They talk what she did for them,” Jordan says. “They all say that she would be honored by the sinking of the ship.”

When Jordan first began filming the documentary, his focus was on the ship, R/V Jane Yarn. “Then I realized the real story was the person,” he says.

Jordan includes the only footage taken on the day when the ship went under the water. “It went down in August and we dove in December,” he says. “There were hundreds of fish around it in no time.”

In addition to the Yarn documentary, two other films created by Jordan will be shown at the festival. Atoms for Peace is the story of the nuclear ship Savannah, and Ships for Victory is about the World War II-era shipyards

‘I am Troy Davis’

A report from last week’s rally in Atlanta by patrick rodgers | veaukab@yahoo.com

Late in the afternoon of Sept. 12, the final chapter was written in the 19-year legal battle surrounding Troy Anthony Davis. After receiving a temporary stay of execution last July, Davis was denied clemency by Georgia’s Board of Pardons and Parole, the last administrative body that could have commuted Davis’s death sentence.

The Davis case has been one of the most complex, divisive legal struggles Savannah has ever seen, rivaling even the Jim Williams case in every sense except glamour and hoodoo. The murder of Mark MacPhail wasn’t a high society who-dunnit, but the brutal shooting of an off-duty police officer in the early morning hours of a hot summer night.

For those familiar with the case, there’s no middle ground—one either sides with the prosecution’s belief that Davis is guilty and deserves to die; or with the defense’s claim that he was falsely accused and unjustly incarcerated—and there is no easy answer.

For the District Attorney, there’s the fact that Davis was convicted and sentenced after the testimony of nine witnesses linked him to the murder. For the defense, there is the recanted testimony of seven of those witnesses, along with allegations of police coercion and a distinct lack of physical evidence.

The day before the board decided Davis’s fate, with storm clouds gathering

ominously, a group of 40 Savannahians boarded a bus at the corner of Gwinnett and MLK. Had it not been for the swarm of local news crews, passersby might have assumed it was a church group heading out for a day trip.

But the gathering of people, who ranged in age from 16–70, had a more politically charged purpose. They were preparing to depart for a rally in Atlanta on the steps of the Georgia Capitol in support of Troy Anthony Davis.

“This case transcends to people in similar situations,” says Perrice Austin, one of the people who lead the trip. “I’m not talking about setting guilty people free. It’s about a support system for people who never had a voice.”

The group of locals who boarded the bus—which included members of Davis’s family, people who knew him and complete strangers who had simply heard about the case—were ready to endure the long trip in hope that their voices could help sway the board to commute Davis’s sentence until there

was certainty whether he was guilty.

“If he was guilty, it would have been over already,” says Timmetrieous Bowens, a Coffee Bluff resident who recently heard about the case and wanted to take part in the rally. “They don’t have all the facts, and they don’t have any evidence. By helping Davis, we’re helping the community. We’re showing the justice system that we won’t allow this to happen.”

The shared sentiment on the bus is that what happened to Davis, if he was falsely accused, could happen to anyone—a message reinforced later at the rally with T-shirts reading “I Am Troy Davis,” and chants of the same message.

The group from Savannah is among the first at the rally. They are joined by members of Amnesty International, the organization that planned the rally.

Within an hour, the crowd has grown to over 100, representing a variety of different political and social organizations.

The energy of the crowd is palpable and powerful. “It’s a testimony to the human spirit,” says Austin, as we stand slightly back from everyone, surveying the scene. “People don’t come together like this for malarkey. It’s for something they believe in, and they know the facts.

Some used to think he was guilty, but then they learned more about the case.”

Rumors circulate that the parole board has received over 25,000 letters on behalf of Troy in the last few days.

Several people mention that you can now send the board text messages as well, and that one radio appearance by Troy’s sister Martina generated over 1,000 texts in just a matter of minutes.

While Davis’s supporters chant and wave signs, a stage is erected and a PA system is set up. As the focus turns to the stage, a series of speakers, including Amnesty International’s Executive Director Larry Cox, Georgia NAACP

Scenes from last Thursday’s rally in Atlanta, including the signature T-shirt that was prevalent

Conference President Edward DuBose, advocate Jennifer Thompson-Cannino, and Troy’s sister Martina Correia, among others, all speak to the crowd, which is now closer to 500 in total.

“That Troy has lived another year is testament to justice,” Cox says, referring to the board’s granting Davis a temporary stay of execution, and then reiterating the board’s promise from the previous year not to execute if any doubts remained.

Thompson-Cannino, a former rape victim whose false identification put the wrong man in jail for almost a decade, speaks of how, despite her best efforts to remember the features of the man who assaulted her, an innocent man would have been executed if he had not been exonerated later by DNA evidence.

As Correia addresses the crowd, someone steps up behind her and hands her a cell phone. It is Davis himself on the other end, and he talks to the crowd by speakerphone. “Until I’m free, justice is not done,” he tells the rapt audience.

As the event comes to a close, in an unexpected act of kindness one of the capitol police officers invites the busload of Savannahians to his church for a fish dinner before beginning the long journey home. As they enter the woodpaneled church basement where rows of folding tables lead to a buffet line along the back wall, a sense of exhaustion and thankfulness mingles with the familiar smells of home-cooking.

“Look at what your son brought together,” someone says to Virginia Davis, Troy’s mother, reflecting on the day and looking at the packed church hall. The comment ties in with an underlying theme of the day, that there must be a greater purpose to this man’s suffering.

But, at the same time that there’s hope that Davis’s suffering could lead to reform, there is an unspoken element of distrust in this idea of a greater justice.

Rather than leave it to fate, here are hundreds of people taking action to try and ensure that the right thing is done.

Back on the bus with full stomachs, the mood is positive. There is talk of holding another rally in Savannah. “Remember this wasn’t just a one day trip,” someone says. “This is a job.”

While last year’s clemency hearing for Davis was one of the longest in state history, this time the board would deliberate less than two hours before making their decision. And despite all the effort that had gone into the rally one day earlier, the high spirits of those on the bus would be dashed when Davis was denied clemency.

This case, that for so many seemed like it would never end, seems to have come to a close. cs

Auction against autism Kicklighter Resource Center event is at the Alee Temple

16 SEP 17-SEP 30, 2008 | WWW.CONNECTSAVANNAH.COM

by Ashley Jensen | yelsha24_7@yahoo.com

The Savannah Orchestra

One of the area’s standout charities fighting autism, the Kicklighter Resource Center, is hosting a black-tie auction at the Alee Temple to fundraise for its numerous community assistance and education programs.

At 6 p.m. Sept. 19 the silent auction begins, followed by a live auction at 8 p.m., with music and dancing at 9 p.m. to finish up the evening. Included in the $35 ticket price are an open bar and hors d’oeuvres catered by Perry’s Catered Affairs.

Items up for grabs at this black-tie affair include a one-year membership to the Whitemarsh YMCA, a Lowcountry boil for 30, photography services, a seven-night Bahamian vacation, and autographed Pittsburgh Steelers memorabilia, just to name a few.

“It’s going to be a lot of fun,” says Keller Deal, one of the event coordinators, “and it’s for a great cause, helping us help kids with autism and other disabilities.”

Founded by Lilla Mae Kicklighter in 1951, few know the full extent of Kicklighter’s services. Aside from their unique childcare program, Kicklighter provides a wealth of resources to the developmentally challenged and their families.

To increase community awareness, Kicklighter sends speakers out into the area to explain the needs and challenges of the disabled and the different ways to help them. They offer respite care and advocacy programs to help families with the day-to-day challenges of caring for a special needs child. Their residential services program sponsors five housing coops and teaches the disabled how to live with minimal supervision.

The Kicklighter Academy is the Center’s childcare program that accepts children from six weeks to five years.

Their student-teacher ratio is half that required by the state and they are one of seven out of eighty-five inspected childcare facilities in Chatham that received zero violations last year.

The Academy is set up in three phases, from complete one-on-one care, to integrating the disabled into classes with normal children, to classes for chil-

The Kicklighter Center helps kids

dren who can function independently.

The idea is that kids learn from kids. If you progressively introduce a child with autism from individual care to a regular classroom setting, that child will pick up on the way the other kids behave and interact with each other.

Memories, like the corners of my mind

A visitor to Savannah reported that he was walking along Bay Street in Yamacraw Village when he was approached by a man who held him at gunpoint and robbed him.

The victim said he was very intoxicated at the time of the robbery. He couldn’t remember anything about the suspect, but said he thought the suspect might have hit him, although he wasn’t sure. He was able to list the items stolen from him, however.

When asked why he waited three days before reporting the crime, the victim responded that he isn’t familiar with Savannah, and when he went to what he thought was the police station, there was no one there. The man admitted he might not have been at the right place.

• An officer who was responding to a shooting call was traveling west on Vic-

tory Drive. EMS also was going west in response to the call, traveling behind the officer.

When the officer stopped at the light at Victory and Montgomery Street, EMS and a second patrol car turned on their lights and sirens and went around his squad car, through the red light. The officer watched as a Jeep approached the intersection and, as EMS turned the corner, the Jeep immediately followed EMS and turned against the light, pulling out in front of the officer’s patrol car. The driver was stopped and arrested for driving under the influence.

• Police were called to called to a Catboat Place residence on a report of a biting.

The victim called police after her girlfriend bit her left chin. She had a visible mark on her skin where she was bitten, but the skin wasn’t broken.

The suspect said she was lying in bed, talking on the phone, when the victim jumped on top of her and started pulling her hair. She said she bit the victim in self defense.

The victim said she and the suspect had an argument about the phone in the hallway. When she took the suspect’s

phone away from her, they began to scuffle. She said the suspect pulled her hair and bit her.

The officer wasn’t able to determine the primary aggressor. The victim was treated by EMS and released, and a mediator spoke with both women.

• A man began arguing with his baby’s mother, who lives at West Broad Court, after she told him he had to baby sit their son.

The argument escalated, and the woman locked the man out of the apartment.

He broke one of the bedroom windows with his fist, so she opened the window, at which point the man tried to pull her outside through the window.

The woman opened the front door to retrieve her son, and when she tried to close the door, the man forced it open and got inside. They began arguing again, and the man began punching her in the face with a closed fist.

She began hitting him back in self-defense, and said at that point, he pushed

her down on the couch and began to strangle her with his hands. She said she was beginning to black out when he stopped.

The man left then, but returned shortly after, and they began to argue. He started to punch the woman again, but a witness to the altercation began yelling and he stopped.

He jumped on a red “Trek” bicycle and fled the scene.

The witness told police she had seen the entire incident. The victim sustained abrasions on her neck and chin, but refused treatment by EMS. A lookout for the suspect was called and a supervisor and violent crimes detective were notified. Forensics was called to photograph the broken window and the woman’s injuries. cs

Over the years I’ve noticed a variety of siren sounds for emergency vehicles. Is it true siren sounds have to be changed periodically, particularly in urban areas, to prevent drivers from getting used to a particular sound and not paying attention? —Dylan, Chicago Varietywise I don’t know that siren sounds are in the same league as ice cream flavors, or for that matter the olive department at Whole Foods, but there are more than there used to be.

Two are reliably found in just about all U.S. emergency vehicles: (1) the wail, the traditional Dragnet-type siren whose pitch in olden days rose and fell with the vehicle’s speed; and (2) the yelp, whose pitch rapidly alternates, reflecting the frantic pace of modern life.

Other common sounds include (3) the European-style high-low or twotone siren, which nowadays is often interspersed with whoops and other noises; (4) what’s sometimes called the “phaser” siren, which does sound a bit like something you’d use to take out the Klingons; and (5) the braying “air horn” (actually an electronic reproduction), not a siren in the strictest sense, for when you can’t get the attention of space cases any other way.

Siren use policy varies. Some jurisdictions, such as Hawaii and California, limit the permissible siren sounds to the wail and yelp; Hawaii further specifies that the wail is to be used by police for routine emergencies with the yelp reserved for traffic offenders. More commonly, though, the idea is to mix up the sounds. Partly, as you suggest, that’s to get drivers’ attention, which is more of a challenge than it used to be what with car stereos, air conditioning, yammering GPS units, iPods, cell phones, and so on. Emergency drivers will often cycle through the siren types if civilians don’t move immediately.

The main reason for multiple sounds, though, is a little different and frankly a lot more urgent: If all emer-

gency vehicles used the same type, their drivers wouldn’t hear each other’s sirens while speeding to the same intersection—this is known as the wash-out effect—and would be more likely to crash into each other.

That raises a key question. Do sirens do what they’re supposed to do, namely get nonemergency traffic out of the way without getting people hurt or killed? A lot of experts think they don’t.

Some claim lights and sirens actually cause more accidents. Statistically, most ambulance crashes happen at intersections while the vehicle is running “hot”—i.e., using lights and siren. Of course, vehicles running cold are also less likely to speed, drive on the wrong side of the road, or run red lights, so you’d expect more accidents in emergency mode.

Still, you have to wonder whether sirens in many instances are worth the trouble. Studies show ambulances typically make it to their destinations less than a minute faster with the aid of the siren, which is rarely enough to do anything medically useful. Another problem is what emergency-response expert Jeff Clawson calls the wake effect—drivers collide with each other or stationary objects while trying to get out of an emergency vehicle’s way. A Department of Transportation study concluded that “sirens will never become an effective warning device”—and that was in 1977, when drivers had fewer distractions.

So which of these marginally effective siren sounds is best? Good luck getting a straight answer. The International Encyclopedia of Ergonomics and Human Factors says the most audible and localizable sounds are very high or very low frequencies, with low preferred because high can be irritating. (Although I have to think a gut-buzzing low vibration could be plenty disconcerting.)

Beyond that, the experts are pretty useless. A 1991 review in Annals of Emergency Medicine found some studies claiming the European high-low siren was the best, others claiming it was the worst, two professing to find no difference between sounds, and one commentator recommending different sounds for different conditions. cs By cecil adams Comments, questions?

• In July, microbiologists writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reported that the Malaysian pen-tailed tree shrew subsists on a diet of fermented palm nectar that is roughly the equivalent of 100 percent beer. “They seem to have developed some type of mechanism to deal with that high level of alcohol and not get drunk,” according to one researcher, who hoped further study could help with human cases of alcohol poisoning (and other rare instances in which people ingest alcohol for purposes other than getting drunk).

The Weirdo-American Community

A wave of motorists fondling themselves in drive-thru lanes of Seattle-area espresso stands continues, police said, despite a recent arrest. In August, an employee of Java Girls in Parkland, Wash., disgusted with a bra-wearing man, tossed boiling water in his face (to which he reportedly responded, “Oooh, yeah” and drove off). In September, a 20-year-old driver admitted several fondling incidents from February to May in Monroe, Wash., but expressed relief that police caught him. “I need to stop,” he said, “and I can’t do it alone. Once you start, it’s hard to stop.”

Least Competent Criminals

An unidentified man smashed a 6-foot hole in the wall of the Name Brand Clothing Store in Tulsa, Okla., in August and labored through the night to bust open the safe, but according to the surveillance video, he finally gave up six hours later after making only a small hole in the safe. However, when the store manager arrived later that morning, he found the safe unlocked, probably the result of his forgetfulness the night before, and no contents were missing. Though the crime was unsuccessful, the manager offered to hire the robber, based just on his diligent work ethic. cs

• Some dermatologists have created significant divides between their “medical” patients (acne, cancer) and their beauty-treatment patients (plastic surgery, Botox), with the latter offered luxurious waiting rooms, frequent telephone contacts and more personalization of treatment. One doctor told The New York Times in July, “You have to class it up for those patients,” who pay their own way and with minimal paperwork. Besides, said another, “If you do an extreme makeover on someone, you are a hero.”

• In a July Newsweek review of “faithbased” mutual funds (whose managers invest only in companies whose work does not offend their particular spiritual values), big short-term losers included one Mennonite fund emphasizing pacifism (eschewing high-performing military and energy stocks), but big winners lately were Islamic funds. Not only do they screen out the “sin” companies (tobacco, alcohol) and sellers of pork products, but they avoid financialservices stock (based on the Quran’s prohibition against borrowing or lending if interest is charged) and thus were unscathed by the initial mortgagemarket meltdown.

Deja Vu: The two states whose electoral votes decided the presidential races in 2000 (Florida) and 2004 (Ohio) are provoking anxiety this time around, also. In Palm Beach County, Fla. (home of the “butterfly ballot” in 2000), 3,478 optical-scan votes disappeared between primary-night counting on Aug. 26 and the official recount a few days later (flipping the outcome of at least one race).

Also in August, Ohio officials claimed that they had fixed a software-logic tabulating error in Premier Election Systems machines used in some counties (but, according to a spokesman for Premier, a company formerly known as Diebold, that error had been present for the last 10 years). (Also in August, the Ohio secretary of state ordered election officials to end the practice of taking voting machines home at night during election season “for safekeeping,” even though such “sleepovers” had been encouraged in order to protect the machines from tampering.)

earthweek www.connectsavannah.com/earthweek Ice-Free Arctic Routes U.S. polar ice experts announced that satellite images show a navigable corridor of water opened up around the entire Arctic in early September for possibly the first time in 125,000 years. Mark Serreze, a sea ice specialist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colo., said the images suggest that the Arctic ice cap may have entered a “death spiral” due to global warming. The fabled Northwest Passage through Arctic Canada and the Northern Sea Route off the coast of Russia have opened up before, but never at the same time. Some shipping companies are making plans to take advantage of the potential new routes. Germany’s Beluga Group says it will send the first ship through the newly open waters next summer, cutting 4,000 miles off the voyage from Germany to Japan.

Companies are trying to exploit the new biological frontier to develop products ranging from ice cream to anti-stroke medications.

Extreme Waves

Hawaiian Lava Lake

While Australian surfers have long enjoyed high surf, the extreme waves that often pound the country’s southern shores are becoming far too large and frequent for comfort. Australian researchers say buoys that measure ocean waves off Tasmania have found that an increase in wave heights and a counterclockwise rotation of wave direction is occurring due to a southern shift in intense subtropical storms. Climate Change Minister Penny Wong said such extreme surf “can be destructive, leading to coastal inundation, erosion and the disturbance of marine habitats.”

Scientists at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) say they have discovered a lake of lava bubbling beneath the surface of Kilauea volcano. The 160-foot diameter lake was found about 330 feet below the rim of the summit’s active Halemaumau crater vent, which opened up on March 19. Kilauea’s current activity does not threaten any populated areas, other than by the volcanic gasses that have prompted health alerts in recent months. cs by steve newman, universal press syndicate

The nature of charity

Photography auction to raise funds for CASA, Oatland Island Wildlife Center

by Jim Morekis | jim@connectsavannah.com

Connect Savannah contributing photographer Jenn Blatty has organized an auction of her work from 6-8 p.m. this Friday at the Morris Center in Trustees Garden.

Proceeds will benefit both the Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children (CASA) and the Oatland Island Wildlife Center, which will have some live animals on hand. We spoke to Jenn last week about the event.

jenn blatty

You’ll get an opportunity this week to buy some great photographs and help two deserving local nonprofits at the same time. cool! And we’ll have a table set up for them to help with that.

Why an auction for charity? And why these particular groups?

Jenn Blatty: I’ve always wanted to do an event for charity. In this process of actually searching for the charities, I decided I wanted to benefit someone local, for smaller groups where people can actually see the results of what they’re donating.

When your money just goes to a national organization, it’s so impersonal. You don’t really see the results.

So Oatland Island is bringing some live animals to the auction. Whose idea was that?

Jenn Blatty: It was their idea. I asked them to bring someone down and talk about Oatland Island and where the money from the auction would be going. And they said they could bring some animals with them – the possum, maybe a falcon – so I said,

Did your decision to support Oatland have anything to do with the shots you took recently for our stories by Lanie Peterson?

Jenn Blatty: That’s basically how it happened. I was out there seeing the wolves

The show card for Jenn Blatty’s show, featuring some of Oatland’s wolves

and everything, and I was like, maybe I could donate to two groups instead of just one. Oatland was originally one of the groups on the list that I wanted to speak with, and at that point I’d only talked to CASA. I was like, why not Oatland, too?

And they were really into it.

Tell us what we can expect at the event.

Jenn Blatty: Well, I’ve got the auctioneer, Matt Mattingly, who’s awesome. A little less than 15 of my bigger pieces will be live auctioned, and there’ll also be another 1015 pieces for a silent auction. And there’ll be five or ten pieces for raffle.

There’s also going to be this new 2009 calendar I’ve been putting together. I’ve been working on it with Ink Branding. It’s different. It’s not your typical Savannah calendar – it’s more based on the islands. cs Charity Auction for the Best of Friends Photo auction benefits CASA and Oatland Island Education Center.

When: Fri., Sept. 19, 6-8 p.m.

Where: Charles H. Morris Center, Trustees Garden Info: 912/224-7440, jtblatty@comcast.net

Events marked with this symbol are things we think are especially cool and unique.

Izzy Cox, Bo Hatchet

This “anarchist crooner” from rural Texas terms her brand of dark and menacing Americana string-band music “Voodoobilly Jazz”. Hard to believe that for years, she was part of the Montreal music scene that birthed indie sensations Rufus & Martha Wainwright and Arcade Fire. When not opening for the likes of Jack White and Junior Brown, she goes straight for the (rot)gut, touring relentlessly, delivering melodramatic murder ballads at all manner of small venues. Regional Old-Time fetishists Bo Hatchet are an ultraindie acoustic duo steeped in the same kind of wizened Appalachian roots/creepazoid front porch backwash. Listen & Learn: myspace. com/izzycox, myspace.com/bohatchet. Thurs., 8 pm, Guitar Bar.

Jupiter String Quartet

This internationally beloved quartet of three violins and one cello has won handfuls of major classical competitions — including a 2008 Avery Fischer Career Grant. Each player holds a Masters in chamber music from the prestigious New England Conservatory, and this concert (presented by the Savannah Concert Ass’n) should be one of the finest of its kind taking place in town this year independent of the Savannah Music Fest. Tix: $35 - $12.50, at lucastheatre.com or 525-5050.

Listen & Learn: jupiterquartet. com. Sat., 8 pm, Lucas Theatre ALL-AGES.

Alex Nguyen Quintet

Tracy Grammer A respected name on today’s contemporary folk scene, this singing guitarist/songwriter came to prominence in a duo with the late, great Dave Carter, recording and touring with him from 1997 till his untimely death in 2002.

Considered the premier interpreter of Carter’s back catalog, Grammer has earned raves for her subsequent solo work. A past performer at the Savannah Folk Music Fest, her CD Flower of Avalon (feat. Mary Chapin Carpenter) was the most-played folk album of 2006. Tix: $10, or $8 for SFMS members and $5 for children/students. Listen & Learn: savannahfolk.org, tracygrammer.com. Sat., 8 pm, New Day Fellowship Church (6500 Habersham St.) - ALL-AGES.

Great Scot!

Now based in NYC, where he’s studying with famed trumpeter Jon Faddis, this 23-year-old former Savannahian returns to kick-start a season of live jazz events in Hilton Head. Things keep looking up for Nguyen, who recently earned a standing ovation at the legendary Iridium Jazz Club and saw an original composition included on the latest album by iconic pianist Kenny Barron.

For this major area reappearance, he’ll be joined by some of the finest regional jazz players. Tix: $20 at jazzloversclub.com5. Listen & Learn: alexnguyenmusic.com.

Sun., 7 pm, Coligny Theater (Hilton Head).

DOWNTOWN DINING

Savannah 311 W. congress St • 239.9600 (near city market)

Passafire

Another rare hometown gig, this time from an original reggae-rock hybrid that formed in Savannah, but is steadily blowing up on the national scene. They were recently chosen

by Diamond David Lee Roth himself to open for Van Halen in Reno, and are preparing for two back-to-back cross-country tours with label mates Pepper and The Supervillains. Local hip-hop and funk collective Dope Sandwich opens. Tix: $7 adv. / $10 at door, livewiremusichall.com. Listen & Learn: myspace.com/passafire, myspace.com/dopesandwichmusic. Thurs., 9 pm, Live Wire

Toubab Krewe

The Village Voice calls this Asheville-based instrumental combo “a futuristic, psychedelic, neo-griot frenzy.” Blending regional roots music with the ethnic influence of Mali-centric West African pop (their instrumentation includes kora and kamelengoni lutes, horsehair fiddle and indigenous percussion), these world music stars-in-waiting have come up with an entrancing and captivating sound that is danceable, hypnotic and imminently joyous. They’ve wowed Bonnaroo as well as the JFK Center for Performing Arts.

Tix: $7 adv. / $10 at door, livewiremusichall.com. Listen & Learn: myspace.com/toubabkrewe. Sat., 10 pm, Live Wire Music Hall. cs

Jazz pianist Eric Mintel and his Quartet play the Jazz Fest and Jazz’d

Eric Mintel: Accessibility. I have been at the piano probably since about age three or four figuring out melodies.

One day in 1982 I was leafing through my parents’ record collection when I found Dave Brubeck’s 45 single of “Take Five” on one side and “Blue Rondo a la Turk” on the other. I put the record on and had an instant connection with the music. I knew that’s what I wanted to play. In fact, I knew that I wanted to make jazz my life.

What are the unique challenges pianists face in doing justice to Brubeck’s work?

Eric Mintel: Brubeck’s use of poly rhythm and poly tonality always appealed to me. What we do is put our own spin on Brubeck’s music, there’s no way to copy that — and why would we?

Tell me about your latest CD. Eric Mintel: Ground-Breaker was just released Sept. 1 and the reaction has been incredible. Most of the songs are originals. We recorded it in N.J. at a studio owned and operated by Tony

You were a guest on the NPR show Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz. How did that come about?

Eric Mintel: Dave Brubeck mentioned to Marian that I would be a great guest.

A few days later she called to ask if I’d like to be featured on her show. We’d never met or played together before, but she put me in a very relaxed atmosphere. It felt like we were old friends having a conversation.

‘We just let it flow’ Jazz pianist Eric Mintel has performed in all manner of venues: from small clubs and restaurants to the Kennedy Center (11 times!), and from large theatres and festivals to the White House.

When he and his quartet appear as one of the featured acts at the 27th Annual Savannah Jazz Festival next Wednesday, their tribute to legendary composer/arranger Dave Brubeck will close out an evening of free live music that also features area Dixieland group The Beer Parlor Ramblers and our own Arts Academy’s Skyelite Jazz band.

The following night, Mintel and his impressive combo play another free gig — this time at a popular downtown nightspot. I spoke with the pianist from his home in Bucks County, Pa., about his latest album, the challenges of interpreting Brubeck’s famously tricky tunes, and hanging with the one and only Marian McPartland.

A drink of cool water in a theatrical desert Carmike Cinemas’ Art Series brings indie films to town for week-long runs

by jim reed | jim.r@connectsavannah.com

Despite boasting an internationally-known annual film festival and at least three community-based film societies, Savannah has never enjoyed a dedicated, full-time art-house cinema.

Over the past several years, local venues of varying sizes —ranging from the 60-seat Sentient Bean Coffeehouse, to the 1,000+ Lucas and Trustees Theaters— have all played host to onenight-only screenings of foreign, independent, and “psychotronic” movies, with varying degrees of success. However, by and large, corporate multiplexes in our market routinely ignore even the most high-profile niche pictures.

Now, however, one national theater chain has quietly launched a sevenweek local run of acclaimed smaller titles.

Unfortunately, they’ve not done a very good job of promoting this fact.

Now in its second week, Carmike Cinemas’ Art Series provides locals and tourists alike with the rare opportunity to enjoy critically acclaimed, recently released art-house pictures on the big screen.

Stylistically, the series is a mixed bag.

It includes a startling documentary on the U.S. military’s scandalous behavior in Iraq, a dramatization of an infamous London murder case, a candid memoir of a father’s terminal illness, a Norwegian film on the relationship between

two aspiring novelists, a portrait of a female Bangaldeshi immigrant in 1980s England, a surreal homage to director Guy Maddin’s hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba, and a romantic comedy about two lonely people desperate to find New Year’s Eve dates.

Stephen Karcher, Complex Manager of the Carmike 10 (on Stephenson Ave.), knows of no other city in the country being afforded this opportunity by his company.

“This had a lot to do with trying to reach local film students,” he says. “Both our Savannah theaters are sharing the series, alternating features each week.”

The inaugural title, Oscar-winning documentarian Errol Morris’ investigation into the shocking Abu Ghraib “torture photos” scandal of 2004, played for six days solid at the Wynnsong 11 (behind Savannah Mall) with no fanfare whatsoever. Not surprisingly, Complex Manager Michael Pimentel says hardly anyone came.

However, he adds, “Art films do much better on the other side of town, pretty much because of SCAD.” Yet, when pressed, Pimentel admits he often gets requests for such options.

He notes films with more nuanced subject matter can be tricky to promote. Karcher simply pushes the entire series.

“I hear these films are supposed to be excellent,” he enthuses. “They’re a great break from summer action films.”

“Carmike is now really reaching out, trying to show what we call ‘alternative content’,” says Karcher. But if this series is a flop, it’s hard to imagine them trying again.

“Just like anything , the more successful it is, the more possibility of something returning,” he admits.

In the end, though, Karcher hopes this trial run of Carmike’s Art Series will catch on, and theorizes that even if it does not, that may not be the death knell for films of this type playing our market.

“Regardless, the desire is always there,” he claims. “We hope locals will support it, and hopefully we can bring a series like this back again.” cs More at connectsavannah.com.

This Sunday night, the Jepson Center for The Arts plays host to the Inaugural Reception of the latest addition to our community’s growing list of not-forprofit, specialized film societies.

Formed under the First City Network banner, The Savannah Gay & Lesbian Film Society aims to provide a steady, year-round program of acclaimed, positive-themed Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender-related cinema of all kinds, from short subjects to full-length features and from documentaries to narrative titles.

The Jepson’s Neises Auditorium, with its high-quality video projection and 200+ seating capacity provides an ideal setting for such a series, which organizers say will lead up to Savannah’s first-ever LGBT Film Festival, to take place sometime in 2009.

This event includes two separate programs, starting at 6 pm with a compilation of six “funny and touching” shorts, featuring the highly praised No Bikini, awarded the 2008 PlanetOut Grand Prize. After an intermission/reception, the second program starts at 8:30 pm, with the 95-min. awardwinning documentary Pageant, focusing on five of the 52 men who competed in the 34th Miss Gay America Pageant. At least one member of the film’s cast will be on hand for a Q & A afterwards.

The society’s next scheduled screening at the Jepson will be on Sun., Oct. 12, when they’ll show Tru Loved in coordination with StandOut Youth of Savannah.

The Women

Lakeview Terrace*

The witty and wise 1939 screen version of The Women, based on Clare Booth Luce’s play and helmed by “woman’s director” George Cukor, has been unfortunately refashioned as a Sex and the City wanna-be, in the process losing all the smoldering conflicts and zesty support system of its classic predecessor.

In that version, Norma Shearer’s angelic society woman had to decide whether to stay married to a husband who dared to dally with Joan Crawford’s skanky shopgirl. With nary a male in sight but an all-female-cast to die for (Rosalind Russell, Paulette Goddard and Joan Fontaine were also part of the ensemble), the picture began with a playful title sequence and went on to examine females as complicated beings forced to simultaneously respond to social duties, potentially duplicitous acquaintances, and the demands of their own independent hearts. Predictably, this new version opens with a nod toward modern materialism (a woman mentally catalogues each item in a department store with an inner

computer not unlike the Terminator’s) and then proceeds to offer contemporary stereotypes rather than memorable individuals. Here, everything has been smoothed out to the point of tepidity: Eva Mendes (as the hubby-swiper) is merely naughty where Crawford was lethal, and Russell’s role as a backstabbing “frenemy” has been transformed into Annette Bening’s toughyet-tender editor. Meanwhile, Meg Ryan (as the jilted spouse) doesn’t stray too far from her established persona, while Jada Pinkett Smith’s casting in a worthless role (cut it, and the movie doesn’t change at all) demonstrates that writerdirector Diane English was more interested in covering all demographics than in making any salient points about 21st-century girl power.

According to the Internet Movie Database, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner has appeared as himself (or a variation thereof) in over 150 movies, TV shows and video productions, including episodes of Laverne & Shirley, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and Sex and the City. Presumably, Hefner enjoys lengthier screen time in the new comedy The House Bunny, although personally I don’t think he’ll ever top his cameo in the Roman Empire segment of Mel Brooks’ History of the World: Part I, wherein he sports a toga while brandishing his trademark pipe and explaining to a bevy of beauties that “It’s a new concept; I call it the centerfold.”

In The House Bunny, the 82-year-old Hef serves as a father figure of sorts to Shelley Darlingson (Anna Faris), a Playboy bunny who lives at his legendary mansion and dreams of becoming the magazine’s next centerfold. But right after her 27th birthday (59 in Bunny years, she’s told), she’s kicked out of the house, although it’s not long before she finds herself with a new gig: serving as a house mother to the socially awkward girls from the Zeta Alpha Zeta sorority.

Soon, she’s instructing them on how to attract boys and pledges while they’re teaching her how to depend on more than just her looks.

The House Bunny was co-written by the same women (Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith) who penned Legally Blonde, and it’s safe to say that their roots are showing. This is basically an inferior version of that Reese Wither-

Bunny years, but, considering the man’s still-swinging ways, 82 is 27 in Hef years.

mamma mia!

Meryl Streep fans and ABBA fans can at least count on those two components firing on all cylinders in this adaptation of the Broadway smash. Everyone else, though, may be forced to rummage through the debris that constitutes the rest of the picture to find anything worth salvaging. Streep is aptly cast as Donna, a former singer raising her daughter Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) at her hotel on a Greek island. Sophie’s about to marry hunky Sky (dull Dominic Cooper), but first she’s determined to learn the identity of her father.

The candidates are suave Sam (Pierce Brosnan), uptight Harry (Colin Firth) and rascally Bill (Stellan Skarsgard), and as long as the actors essaying the roles stick to walking and talking, they’re fun to watch. But whenever one of them is called upon to sing, be prepared to duck and cover as their aural ineptitude bombards our eardrums (Brosnan especially looks physically pained choking out the lyrics, as if he’s being subjected to a prostate exam just outside of the camera’s eye). There’s no reason this couldn’t contain all the effulgence and expertise of other musical adaptations like Hairspray and Chicago, but stage director Phyllida Lloyd appears to be so blissfully ignorant of the dynamics of moviemaking that, aside from the songs themselves, there’s little joy to be found in the musical numbers. The

Man on Wire Winner of both the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award in Sundance’s World Cinema - Documentary category, Man on Wire tells the amazing true story of Philippe Petit, a French high-wire walker who in the 1970s could always be found risking his life climbing and traversing high points of note (including Notre Dame and Sydney Bridge). When Petit learned of plans to construct the World Trade Center, he waited impatiently over the years for the Twin Towers to become a reality, at which point he and his supporters plotted to set up a line between the two buildings so that he could cross over with only a thin wire under his feet. Present-day interviews and modern reenactments provide the piece with its structure, but it’s the awe-inspiring archival footage that makes this a giddy watch.

spoon hit, and it isn’t even up to the standards of last year’s similarly plotted Amanda Bynes comedy Sydney White.

But Faris, a talented comedienne, strikes the proper airhead notes, and Lutz and Smith take care to feed her

some funny lines now and then.

Incidentally, Hefner was 27 -- the same age as Shelley in the movie -when the first issue of Playboy (featuring Marilyn Monroe as the centerfold) hit the streets. Apparently, 27 is 59 in

tropic thunder The opening salvo of Tropic Thunder is perhaps the funniest 10 minutes I’ve encountered in a movie theater this year -- that’s good news in that it kicks the picture off on a high note and bad news in that it instantly raises concerns that the remaining 95 minutes won’t come close to touching this raucous beginning. But the best news is that the movie manages to keep the laughs hurtling forward for its entire running time, no small feat in an era in which many comedies lose steam by the final reel (even the likable Pineapple Express dries up with plenty of time left on the scoreboard). Ben Stiller, whose fingers are all over this picture (as star, director, co-writer and co-producer), does himself proud by successfully orchestrating the diverse elements that make up this ambitious picture, from a roster of A-list actors (some in supporting roles) to a decidedly non-PC screenplay that touches upon clashing acting methods, venal movie moguls, and the correct way in which to play a mentally challenged character (tip: don’t go “full retard” if you want a shot at the Oscar). Stiller stars as Tugg Speedman, a macho action star whose one attempt at an awards-bait title, the resounding flop Simple Jack, has largely derailed his career. Black plays Jeff Portnoy, a comedian known for vulgar blockbusters (up next: The Fatties, Fart 2). And Robert Downey, Jr. essays the role of Kirk Laza-

rus, a five-time Academy Award-winning actor celebrated for his Method approach to acting. All three, plus rap star Alpa Chino (Brandon T. Jackson) and screen newcomer Kevin Sandusky (Jay Baruchel, best known -- depending on one’s age -- as the simple-minded boxer Danger in Million Dollar Baby and as a member of Seth Rogen’s posse in Knocked Up), are in Vietnam shooting the war movie to end all war movies.

But on-set mishaps and temperamental actors immediately put the film behind schedule, and the grizzled technical advisor (Nick Nolte) suggests to the director (Steve Coogan) that the pampered stars should be taken to a rough spot of the jungle where, away from the rest of the cast and crew, they’ll buckle up and get the movie made. Unfortunately for the thespians, they find themselves the targets of vicious, heavily armed locals who don’t take kindly to what they mistakenly believe to be DEA agents searching for their heroin factory. Stiller is funnier here than he’s been in some time, and he’s especially blessed to have surrounded himself with such a knockout cast. Black has some riotous moments as a drug fiend struggling with his dependency, while Matthew McConaughey, freed from inane rom-coms opposite Kate Hudson, is appealing as Speedman’s lively agent (perhaps like fellow “guy’s guy” Vince Vaughn, McConaughey is more comfortable working with members of the same sex). The cast even includes Tom Cruise, who’s clearly having fun as a bald, bad-tempered studio boss with no morals whatsoever (it’s like rewatching Cruise’s Magnolia character, only this time outfitted with a laugh track). Yet the acting honors easily go to Downey.

His Kirk Lazarus is so dedicated to his craft that he undergoes surgery to have his skin darkened so he can play an

African-African character in the Vietnam War opus. Being a Method actor means that he talks “black” even when the cameras aren’t rolling, an affectation that really annoys Chino, the cast’s authentic African-American.

Allen can hardly be accused of phoning in this script: The movie stumbles over itself while bringing fresh life to a number of issues, among them our need for familial security versus our desire for hedonistic pleasure.

VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA

THE DARK KNIGHT

A menage a trois between the luscious, Olympic-worthy team of Scarlett Johansson, Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz is one of the various expressions of intimacy found in Vicky Cristina Barcelona, but viewers shouldn’t attend the movie expecting to see explicitness on the order of, say, Shortbus or Henry & June. After all, the film’s writer-director is Woody Allen, and he’s always been much more interested in exposing the intricacies of the heart than the pleasures of the flesh. Yet therein lies the major problem with the picture: Allen has basically told a tale that depends on carnal knowledge as much as anything else, and the soft-pedaling of the harsher aspects of the story make Vicky Cristina Barcelona feel, well, as if it were made by a 72-year-old filmmaker who’s tentatively stepped outside his comfort zone. The end result is an interesting misfire, and one whose overlapping themes might resonate more strongly on a second viewing. Rebecca Hall and Johansson, the female co-leads in The Prestige, here play pragmatic Vicky and impulsive Cristina, two Americans vacationing in the lovely Spanish city when they’re propositioned by the seductive, sensual artist Juan Antonio (Bardem) to join him for a weekend of food, wine and sex. Eventually, both women do succumb to his charms (albeit at different points), only to find matters growing more complicated once his fiery ex-wife Maria Elena (Cruz, stealing the show) re-enters his life.

Given the fact that Christopher Nolan’s 2005 Batman Begins ranks as one of the best superhero flicks ever made, then where does that put this sequel that manages to be even more phenomenal than its predecessor? It was 30 years ago that the Christopher Reeve version of Superman was released, and now we have its equal on the other side of the aisle, a superhero saga that’s as dark and deep as its forefather was cheery and colorful. In fact, this might be the first superhero movie that exudes a palpable sense of dread and menace that tugs at our nerves in a way that both disturbs and delights us. Even in superior entertainment like Spider-Man and Iron Man, there’s a feeling that it’s all make-believe, but The Dark Knight offers no such safety net -- it wears its danger on its sleeve. In this outing, Batman (Christian Bale) has done a fine job of tightening the reins around the mob bosses who have long controlled Gotham City, and he’s soon aided in his efforts by idealistic district attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart). But their combined attempts to corral the city’s crooks are hampered by the presence of a murderous psychopath known as The Joker (Heath Ledger). Eckhart stands out in what proves to be the picture’s most fully realized characterization, though we all know who’s the MVP of this particular show: The late Ledger is simply mesmerizing as this whirling dervish of cackling, lip-smacking, cheek-sucking sin. cs

clumsy camer awork, editing and staging all diminish rather than enhance the perceived showstoppers, and the choreography ranks among the most dreadful I’ve ever witnessed in a bigbudget musical. All of this adds up to produce the biggest disappointment of the summer movie season.

ARIES

March 21-April 19 Believe it or not, whatever has been limiting your movement has also been expanding your capacities. It’s true. The pinching sensation you’ve had to endure has been covertly generating psychic fuel that you will soon be able to access. Therefore, Aries, I say unto you: Praise your squelchers and constrictors!

Be grateful for your stiflers and tweakers! They have primed you for the arrival of a luminous boon.

TAURUS

April 20-May 20 “An uninterpreted dream is like an unopened letter,” says the Talmud.

But professional dream researcher Stephen LaBerge thinks that’s too broad a statement. In his book *Lucid Dreaming,* he says dreams are more like poems than letters. If you try to extract literal meanings from them in the service of your ego, they may reveal nothing.

But if you’re willing to find lyrical, unexpected information that could aerate your imagination and dislodge you from your habits, dreams are more likely to be useful.

Keeping in mind everything I’ve said, Taurus, treat the events of your waking life in the coming week as if they were poems coming from a dreamy part of your psyche that’s enticing you to change your life.

GEMINI

May 21-June 20 As you navigate your way through the challenges ahead of you, should you rely on what you know or on what you don’t know? That’s a good question. I’m inclined to advise you to go with what you know when it concerns your security, and to go with what you don’t know when you’re pursuing pleasure. So if you’re trying to come to a decision about what will make you feel at home, trust what the past has taught you. But as you seek creative inspiration and effervescent adventure, shed all precedents. P.S. This is one of those rare times when you can interweave comfort and thrills, safety and risk, tradition and novelty.

CANCER

June 21-July 22 Her brush with sublime wisdom has done wonders for Paris Hilton.

“Kabbalah helps you confront your fears,” she told *Us* magazine.

“Like if a girl borrowed my clothes and never gave them back, and I saw her wearing them months later, I would confront her.” You can snicker if you like, but Paris’s testimony exemplifies my main point for you: It’s crucial that you get practical use out of your religion or spirituality. So please take measures to vigorously translate your highest ideals into your everyday actions. What would it mean, for example, to invite God to inhabit your lips as you kiss someone? Or to prepare your food as if you were going to offer it to a beloved saint?

Or to speak every word as if it were a well-crafted prayer? Ask yourself 20 times a day, what would Buddha (or your greatest hero) do?

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22 What you’re about to leave behind is helpful but a bit dull; it’s fortifying but old-fashioned; comforting but homely. What you’re headed toward, on the other hand, is invigorating, through slightly disruptive; it’s futuristic and amusingly confusing; interesting but also a real test of your flexibility. The transition may happen faster than you thought it would. Congratulations in advance on being a goodnatured transformer.

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22 I hate to lay a sports metaphor on you, Virgo, let alone one articulated by a hockey player. But it’s such an apt description of the approach that will work best for you in the coming week, I had to bring it to your attention. “I skate to where the puck is going to be, not to where it has been,” quoth Wayne Gretzky. Apple CEO Steve Jobs liked those words so much, he made them his own when he introduced the iPhone to the public back in January 2007.

Now I hope you will find a way to apply the idea in your own sphere.

LIBRA

Sept. 23-Oct. 22 Delfin Vigil interviewed the band Social Studies for the *San Francisco Chronicle.* He asked guitarist Aaron Weiss, “What is the meaning of life?” Here’s what Weiss said: “Wearing a big name tag, having something stuck in your teeth, walking around with toilet paper stuck to your shoe while awkwardly

trying to hit on girls. Living on this planet is worthless without the proper amount of humility.”

While I think that’s close to what the meaning of life has been for you recently, Libra, the definition will soon change to something like this: You come on stage to greet an adoring audience, do a riveting song and dance, then announce that you won’t be doing any more shows for a while because you’re about to go off and get busy on creating your next big splash.

SCORPIO

Oct. 23-Nov. 21 Three enlightened teenagers I know have formed a gang called The Disciples. It’s dedicated to plying the dangerous arts of humility, curiosity, and optimism -- three qualities that are so undervalued in our culture as to be almost taboo.

Here’s their motto, which reveals how far they’re willing to go in order to listen well, keep their egos in check, and constantly scour their surroundings for reasons to be grateful: “We have no issues and no problems, but only questions.” I urge you to start your own branch of The Disciples, Scorpio -- or at least work on cultivating their approach.

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22-Dec. 21

A poet friend of mine hatched a scheme for writing a book in record time. He bought a round-trip ticket for a Greyhound bus that would take him from Oakland, California to New York City and back. He vowed that over the course of those nine grueling days and 6,000 miles, as he ate stale sandwiches from vending machines in bus stations and slept sitting up surrounded by strangers, he would churn out an epic-length poem about the experience of traveling cross-country on the most populist form of transportation. The experiment worked.

His book was witty, shocking, and entertaining. I urge you to give yourself a comparable assignment, Sagittarius. Invoke the magic of a strict deadline to create something beautiful that will last a long time.

CAPRICORN Dec. 22-Jan. 19

I would love to place an elegant gold crown on your head. I have the urge to declare you monarch of the expanding realm, maker of new laws, and re-shaper of the collec-

tive vision. Are you up for wielding that much power? Can you handle an increased level of responsibilities? Or would you prefer to preside over a smaller domain, content merely to keep the daily grind from erupting into chaos now and then?

It’s mostly up to you. What do you want?

AQUARIUS Jan. 20-Feb. 18

Unable to control his appetite for prostitutes, New York’s Governor Elliot Spitzer destroyed his career.

Many observers were aghast at the incomprehensibility of his sacrifice. But Phillip Weiss, writing in *New York,* said he understood.

Spitzer desperately “wanted some ‘strange’” -- novelty that’s hard to get when you make love with just one person for many years. That’s *not* the kind of variety I advise you to consider in the coming weeks, Aquarius. According to my reading of the omens, it*will* be prime time for you to seek out some “strange,” but not through multiple lovers. Rather, embark on travels outside your usual haunts, entertain surprising ideas unlike any you’ve been willing to think about before, and pursue unpredictable encounters with people who have a lot to teach you.

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20 In a story about author Gore Vidal in *The Independent,* Archie Bland reported on an event that happened just after Vidal’s parents were married. While traveling to their honeymoon, dad told mom, “’There’s something very important I want you to know.” Mom grew radiantly expectant, imagining he was about to profess his love with a thrilling intensity. But dad had something else in mind. “I have three balls,” he confessed. In the coming week, Pisces, I suspect that one of your expectations will meet a fate similar to mom’s hope.

But don’t fret. In the long run, the revelations that come are likely to be more interesting and valuable to you than the “I have three balls” shocker.
