Desert Trip

And you thought Coachella and Stagecoach were big By Buddy Mannix For Desert Entertainer

oachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, and its country cousin, Stagecoach, are the biggest events come springtime. For years, the popular music fests have inspired locals and lured in travelers from afar. So, it made sense that the festivals’ brainchild Paul Tollett, of Goldenvoice, would spawn another groovy music fest on the grounds of the Empire Polo Club. The buzz began last spring. Tollett was tight-lipped of course. And then the news dropped. Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Roger Waters and—was he kidding us with this?—The Rolling Stones, The Who and Paul Mc-

Cartney, each taking turns on stage. And for two weekends no less. Tickets—some hovering beyond the $1,500 mark—quickly sold out. (Of course.) With more than 170 original studio albums and more than $435 million in record sales in the United States between the revered music acts—and upwards of three centuries onstage—clearly, this would be the music event to experience in Fall 2016. (It didn’t take long before we heard some locals affectionately nickname the event “Old-chella.”) No worries. Tollett would go on to note that Desert Trip turned out to be the highest-grossing show by far—approximately $160 million for the two weekends. Naturally, it impacts Coachella Valley econom-

ically—some 60,000 people are expected to attend each day of the event, which takes place Oct.7-9 and Oct. 14-16. Those who didn’t score a ticket may watch on with pure envy as some of their pals hit the polo grounds—no doubt we will be hearing all about if not watching those Instagram and Twitter feeds religiously over the next few weekends. In the meantime, you may want to create your own bash at home. Invite some friends over and consider queue-ing up your playlist with some of classic standouts from each group—say, “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” (The Rolling Stones) or “Like A Rolling Stone” (Bob Dylan). As for appropriate rock ‘n’ roll food ... (or should we say liquor?) … Well, back in the 1960s, when all of these groups watched their celebrity be-

gin to rise, Liptons French Onion Soup Dip and a bag of chips did the trick. Not bad. But this is Palm Springs. Consider Pieology Pizzeria in Rancho Mirage (pieology.com) and make a night of it. Keep track of the happenings at www.deserttrip.com or @deserttripindio on Instagram.

A Gift For A King Remembering Arnold Palmer

By Lucinda Sue Crosby For Desert Entertainer

t age 10, my father introduced me to Arnold Palmer at the Los Angeles Open. Already an idol of mine, Arnold’s thousand-watt smile and easy charisma bowled me over. When he hugged me, I squealed. Some decades or so later, I was approached at a Senior Tour event at PGA West by some of The King’s closest friends. No ordinary fans, they were way-back instigators of Arnie’s Army, West Coast Division. They had a problem, had learned from LA Times sports columnist Jim Murray that I was a freelance writer of vague poetic repute, and asked me to help. Their story: Through the early years of The King’s career, when they were young and not rich, one commonality was their embrace of Palmer the Legend before he was one. As a group, they finagled extra vacation days, pooled gas money and shared cheap hotel rooms to support Arnold on tour. He reciprocated by sneaking them into countless tournament sites, usually via unguarded perimeter canvas flaps or scalable fences. He got them meal tickets and cocktail vouchers usually reserved for VIPs. At home in La Trobe, Arnold mailed countless autographed photos to friends of friends and their friends, supplied his peep’s pet charities with one-of-a-kind memorabilia for fundraisers and gave and received condolences when life got rough. In fact, Arnold was on the road at a tour event the day his father, Deacon, died and it was these folks who comforted him throughout the long night before he could fly out. They wanted to pay him back. They had to pay him back. In fact, they had already tried to pay him back … with lackluster results. For example, consider Cherry Hills Country Club, Senior PGA. Working with the club manager and head pro, the West Coast Army had orchestrated a surprise party in one of the venue’s private rooms, complete with food, adult beverages and live music. Ar-

nold walked in with advisor/pal Ed Seay and was actually surprised. A great meal was served; imbibing ensued; dancing broke out and became more vigorous as the night wore on. Arnold, ever the pro, had an early tee time. At ten-ish, he thanked one and all, shed a tear or two in sincere thanks and departed for his hotel suite. The rest of the merrymakers congratulated each other and celebrated their posteriors off because they had finally pulled off the ultimate gesture of gratitude. On the way out, as they handed over the check to satisfy the cost of the festivities, they learned that Arnold had already paid the tab … for his own thankyou party. Wha? My advice: Why not create a presentation poem about Arnold’s life and times? They agreed to this premise and I embarked on a unique adventure. My benefactors allowed me access to albums of photos, newspaper articles, private letters, tournament souvenirs—basically, I absorbed the most private side of a most public life. In December of 1995, after the final version of the poem had been accepted and rendered onto a slab of black granite, I had the honor of performing it for Arnold and the West Coast Army at a private party at PGA West. It was a night I’ll never forget—Arnold even shed a tear or two. The granite monument now hangs on the Bay Hill clubhouse wall.

‘THE HEART OF THE MAN’

rom the mists of a time when heroes were born; on a soft and cloud kissed September morn, a golfer came out of the Pennsylvania hills whose promise proved true and whose legend still thrills. Deacon, his father, first taught him to love the sport that came straight from the heavens above.They hiked rolling fairways in all kinds of weather and unlocked d the game’s mysteries, learning together.

legacy ARNOLD PALMER CAREER HIGHLIGHTS • Born on Sept. 10, 1929, in Latrobe, Penn., the son of a country club professional/groundskeeper • Quits college at Wake Forest after 1950 death of friend and golf team mate Bud Worsham in a car crash, and joins the U.S. Coast Guard, leading to a three-year break from golf. • Returns to golf and wins the 1954 U.S. Amateur championship, and turns pro a few months later.

Arnold Palmer and Lucinda Sue Crosby Doris, his mother, taught him about living; it’s not what you get, it’s about what you’re giving. From that little frame house on the fifth at Latrobe flowed her grace, which he carried all over the globe. While still a young man on the brink of his life, he ran off with his lady love and made her his wife. First came his daughters, apples of his eye, who missed him each time he wished them good bye. Then came the battles that spiced up the story a rousing rich tale full of struggle and glory. He tamed wild St. Andrews and old Cherry Hills. Augusta’s Cathedral blessed his courage and skills. A great Army gathered who marched in his name. They followed his exploits, protecting his flame. Soon came Gary Player and the wily

www.desertentertainer.com

Jack Nicklaus and the Age of Great Rivalries had come to pass. And through it all, Deke was there urging, “Forget personal triumphs; the game is the thing.” Past 50, when some mortals are tempted to fade, he embraced a new tour and took up a new trade. He designed and built tests, both lovely and tough so that we could all share in his vision of golf. Now as the sun sets, with the wind at his back, he still charges each course, ever on the attack. And just like the old days, in bad play or good; in pain or a slump when some others might brood, he takes that sweet moment to nod and to smile or chat with a friend or reach out to a child. (His caring for children has been revealed by the place that he built them to

go and be healed.) Fortune is fickle and fame can be fleeting. Lady Luck can explode in one treacherous meeting. I wondered, what was it, what reason or rhyme etched his name in our folklore for now and all time? So I searched out his Army and asked them to tell why fans the world over were still under his spell. The winning? The titles? The charisma? The swing? What was it exactly that crowned him The King? The silence was telling as his old friends thought about decades of memories Arnie’s friendship had brought. And the truth each spoke softly again and again? “It’s simply the size of the heart of the man.”

• Wins the 1955 Canadian Open for his first professional victory. • Shoots to fame by winning 1958 Masters in Augusta, Ga., making him the tournament’s youngest champion at the time and ends up as top money winner that year with $40,000. • Between 1960 and 1963 wins 29 titles and takes home more than $400,000 in prize money. • Wins his last major at the 1964 Masters, making him the first golfer to win the Masters four times (1958, 1960, 1962, 1964). It gives him seven major titles (including two British Opens and one U.S. Open). • In 1968, becomes the first golfer to eclipse $1 million total purse winnings and goes on to claim 93 titles.

he unknown is an exciting prospect under this moon of mystery. You can use that extra glitter dust that comes with new packaging to your advantage to draw people in under the Scorpio lunar influence. Just remember that once the novelty wears off, it’s the usefulness of things that keeps them in rotation. ARIES (March 21-April 19). The scenery around you today is neutral by nature. It will be up to you to give it context. If you want it to be joyful, and your heart is ready to receive it that way, it will be joyful. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will mystify people who think they know you well as you explore areas of study that are completely foreign to them. You only need to go a few steps into this new path before suddenly the old road will be lost behind you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re a fast learner, but in order to create a habit you still must do the same thing everyone else has to do, which is repeat and relearn over and over until the action is engrained and automatic. CANCER (June 22-July 22). It only takes a small amount of extra effort to get off to a winning start, but the positive momentum this generates will give you an advantage through the whole experience.

CROSSWORD ANSWERS

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re naturally fascinated by life. There are people around you, however, who need to be entertained. Your quest to keep them amused has led you to do very unusual things in the past, and the trend will continue today. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). As for a certain relationship: Your options are to go on, or to stop. Sometimes you can go on and stop at the same time, which is what you’re doing when you don’t make a clear choice. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Hold some cards close to your chest. No one in this game needs to see your entire hand. Also, note that there’s a difference between bluffing and lying, and that difference is in the spirit of your play. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The past is barely present in your thoughts today, because there is so much around you to keep you very much focused on fulfilling the needs of the moment-to-moment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Do you have the right to know how another person is spending his or her time? You feel entitled to the information, but that’s not always the best indicator. An impartial party could help you figure this one out. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). For you there is no glory in sitting somewhere on the upper decks and enjoying the spoils of the kind of work that could only happen on the dirt. That’s why today you’ll get close to the work, down where it’s happening. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). To accept a hand-out or leg-up would defeat the purpose of the job you’re doing now, which is solely geared toward discovering and using the powers within you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Diversity in your schedule is the key to happiness. A little of the physical, the cultural and the spiritual will brighten your world, even if you can only get in 15 minutes at a time.

Off theVine Vino Ladies Talk Wine

he start of Solitary Cellars Wine Company began with a book, a humble five-gallon carboy and the desire to make excellent California wine. Greg Bergersen and Rick Quesada are chasing the American dream by making and bottling award-winning wines and developing friendships along the way. With more than 40 years of experience in law enforcement, Greg and Rick worked in California’s most dangerous prisons. And making thousands of visits to wineries all over California, they decided to combine their knowledge of criminal supervision and love of wine to start Solitary Cellars Wine Company. The mission, is to provide their customers with a unique and memorable wine experience. First, and foremost, is the wine. Solitary Cellars is dedicated to the art of wine making and the use of the natural flavors, tannins and color found in California grapes. With the winery located in Lodi, Ca., they have access to the finest fruit from the most pristine and sustainable vineyards on the planet. Solitary Cellars Wine Company have access to Napa Valley, Sonoma County, Lodi, the Santa Lucia Highlands, Paso Robles, Santa Barbara county and of course, the Central Valley. At Solitary Cellars, they make their wines from the finest fruit on earth, which produces a deeply complex, rich and tasteful wine. The emphasis is on quality. Quality fruit, quality care and quality wines. Solitary Cellars understands that wine is best enjoyed with great conversation, delicious and interesting foods, but most of all, a meaningful and heartfelt laugh or smile. They consider customers friends and partners. In corrections, your partner is the one person you can count on, the one who has your back. Like Solitary Cellars says behind the wall, “Hey Homie, I have your back”. Solitary Cellars encourages you to try a bottle of wine, or stop by for a mugshot and a “war story”. They always welcome the opportunity to enjoy a glass of Solitary Cellars wine with their customers. At Solitary Cellars, they encourage their friends and customers to unlock their

sauces. Priced in the upper twenties, these wines are affordable and great to drink now or you may consider aging for a couple of years to enhance the flavors of these Italian varietals. Jules is a wine lover who appreciates the intricacies of different varietals, exploring how wines pair with food, and learning more about how the weather, land, and processing affects the taste. I enjoy going to tasting rooms and the actual wineries as much as possible and try to incorporate wine tasting into my travels. I am an educated novice who loves how wine is so personal to each persons palate and although I enjoy many types of wines I am partial to fullbodied, jammy reds with a smooth finish.

VINO LADY - CHER

Solitary Cellars Barbera, Syrah and Tempranillo lives, but remember to always enjoy the wine without restraints.

VINO LADY - JULES Sometimes the story of the wine creation adds to the enjoyment and appreciation of the wines and that is the case with Solitary Cellars. The brain child of two correctional officers (yes, I mean prison guards!) these wine makers have created wines that are winning awards, garnering fans and are being called the best kept secret of Central California. They really went all out on the theme which is not only reflected in their name but also in the label designs and many other aspects. It is a tongue-in-cheek approach to their transition from a hobby to a new career as wine makers. I had the opportunity to taste two of their varietals; both Italian in origin and enjoyed them both. The first was the 2014

16 | Desert Entertainer | October 6 - 12, 2016

Barbera from Shendonah Valley this wine was low in tannins with a light fruity nose and was medium-bodied. The cherry and white pepper notes make it a great choice to pair with pasta dishes, which would complement the tart, zestiness of any red sauce. This Italian grape has grown in popularity in recent years and is a wine well handled by Solitary Cellars. The second wine was the 2013 East Block Old Vine (100 percent) Zinfandel from Lodi. This wine was delicious and was more typical of the types of reds I like to drink. The nose was definitely fruit forward hinting at the juicy plums and blackberries to come as I drank it. The color was impressive, a dark, rich garnet showing me that it truly was a Zinfandel. At first taste there was an initial zest and a hint of fruit, but then it had a dry finish. This wine would be an excellent choice to pair with BBQ, a great compliment to the smoky richness of those meats and

Many of us have dreamt of taking a hobby and turning it into a second career. Pursuing that dream is just what Greg Bergersen and Rick Quesada have done with Solitary Cellars. When I heard that Solitary Cellars was started by two correctional officers with more than 40 years of experience in prisons, I was amused by the label and their story. First up was the Solitary Cellars 2014 Barbera from the Shenandoah Valley area in Amador County. This Italian grape varietal looked and smelled clean and fruity. The wine had a clear ruby color with a tobacco and cherry aroma. This Barbera is a smooth, drinkable wine with a slightly dry finish. This medium-bodied red wine would appeal to a wide audience. It is not too heavy, not too light—just right. The Barbera would pair well with a wide variety of foods. After taking some sips, I longed for some lasagna or spaghetti to enhance the tasting. Next up was the Solitary Cellars 2013 East Block Old Vine Zinfandel. I enjoy a bold, spicy Zinfandel so I was pleased that the wine was big with fruit such Cherry and Blackberry mixed the more spicy elements like Leather and Tobacco. I tried it with some dark chocolate which allowed the flavors to linger longer on the palate. To get full effect of this Zin, it really needs to be paired with food. It would pair well with steaks or tri-tip.

off the vine DeAnn is a professional who has been in marketing management for many years. On occasion, I enjoy a sweeter wine such as Chardonnay or Gewurztraminer. Now I really enjoy a good Cab, Zinfandel or Pinot Noir. Contact the Vino Ladies at VinoLadies@ gmail.com.

Next time I am near their winery in Lodi, I want to visit their tasting room which is modeled after a jail cell and join their “Chain Gang” wine club! Cher (not the famous one) is a weekend wine taster who prefers a good craft beer over anything! Cut my wine-tasting teeth on Rieslings and other sweet wines but have evolved through the years and now gravitate towards the red wines more. Enjoy full-bodied wines with low tannins and a smooth finish. Love the adventure of trying new wines but look for a bargain that is drinkable now.

VINO LADY - SUZE I thoroughly enjoyed both of these wines. As for the Solitary Cellars Barbera it was nice and warm going down with a hint of tartness. Easy to drink. It’s fruity with the mild taste of cherries and blackberries. I believe the tartness comes from the pomegranate. I didn’t think it was strongly aromatic, but it was fruity and very enjoyable. In regards to the solitary Cellars Old Vine Zinfandel, again, very good. It

has a pretty color and a fuller bouquet than the Barbera. This wine is dry with hints of fruit. The others in my group enjoyed it with chocolate but I cared for it less with chocolate. I can easily see having this wine with grilled barbeque with its hints of smoke. I could drink this with or without food. Both of these wines I could drink solitary, and that’s why Solitary Cellars is an appropriate name. Suze is over 50 but feels 30. I sometimes enjoy a boxed wine, over ice, by the pool on a hot summer night or a smooth, not too dry red, during the winter cold. I usually prefer a semi-sweet white. I love to read or play on the beach with my puppy dog.

VINO LADY - DeANN We had the privilege to taste a couple of bottles of Solitary Cellars wines recently. Please take the time to read about this tasty wine and the wonderful back story to the name, logo and background of the owners of this fine winery as featured within our article.

The East Block “Old Vine Zinfandel” (Lodi, Ca.) had a strong beautiful smell. It had a bold taste with a light dryness that becomes a bit dryer the more you engage your glass of wine. It’s an interesting blend for a wonderfully unique flavor. At first I had a difficult time figuring out the exact flavors I was tasting. Then I realized it was a strong grape infused perplexing taste as I paired it with a few bites of dark chocolate. This bold tasting wine would be great paired with food. Especially smoky-grilled foods. It’s a bargain at a suggested retail price of $28. The “Barbera 2014” ( Sierra Foot Hills in Amador County) shows beautifully with it’s red blush clarity and follows up with a a rosey taste with a fabulous smell of cherries. Very obvious to my taste buds was the hint of pomegranate. It was beautifully smooth, light and airy with a slight dryness. I felt a fabulous tingle in the back of my tongue. Would be excellent paired with food. I highly recommend both wines. You will thoroughly enjoy them both.

About Wine: Barbera is best grown in California’s Gold Country. Within the famed Amador County is a small subregion known as the Shenandoah Valley of California. The region is warm and dry with rolling hills and plates of decomposed granite. Barbera grows very well in the Sierra Foothills yielding grapes that are for the most part fruitier and more aromatic than their Italian counterparts. A bright, balanced and fruity wine has strong notes of red cherries, black cherries, blackberries and pomegranate flavors. The wine is developed and rich with firm tannins and medium plus acidity. The wine adds to the flavors of lamb and rich red pasta sauces. The 2013 “East Block” Old Vine Zinfandel is a powerful and fruity Zinfandel. In the glass the wine is fruity with hints of herb, licorice and dark fruits like black cherry, plum and blackberry. The wine is robust and fruity. The wine provides a palate of spice, caramel and cherry. The wine has a softer finish, but one that is long lasting and rich with overlying notes of vanilla and butterscotch. This Zinfandel offering is a great representative of the Lodi, Ca. wine scene. Harvested from wine planted in 1960, the “East Block” Old Vine Zinfandel provides a great pairing of smoky meats and strong grilled foods.

special event

Dinner in the Canyons

Honors founding members

Dark Water Rising

gua Caliente Cultural Museum will open its 2016-2017 season with Dinner in the Canyons on Saturday, Oct. 8. Presented outdoors under the stars in Andreas Canyon, an ancient home of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians in Palm Springs, this public event is the Museum’s major fundraiser of the year. Proceeds from Dinner in the Canyons will help underwrite the cost of 20162017 exhibitions, educational programs, and cultural festivals. Twenty-five years ago, leaders of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians saw the need to preserve their Tribal heritage, including its collections of archival and material cultural items. This year, we honor those whose love, passion, and foresight led to establishing an institution that will forever preserve that heritage and make it available to all. The 2016 Dinner in the Canyons will honor six esteemed Tribal leaders who, as appointed initial directors, signed the incorporation papers to create a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization—Agua Caliente Cultural Museum: Richard M. Milanovich (then Tribal Chairman); Barbara Gonzales Lyons (then Tribal Vice-Chairman); Mildred L. Browne (now Museum Board Chairwoman); Debrah M. Purnel (now Museum Board Secre-

tary); Anthony Andreas, Jr. (then Tribal Historian); and Dana Prieto (then Agua Caliente Development Authority Chairman). Future generations will benefit from this cultural resource brought into being by these six individuals. The evening begins with a sunset cocktail reception at 5:30 p.m. overlooking the Coachella Valley, followed by an elegant dinner at 6:30 p.m. A live auction of handcrafted Native American jewelry and other items that will definitely catch your attention. Native entertainers, Dark Water Rising are two-time Native American Music Award Winners. From North Carolina, Dark Water Rising includes members of the Lumbee and Tuscarora nations. Enjoy their “rocky soul” sound. Agua Caliente Cultural Museum is located at 219 South Palm Canyon Drive in downtown Palm Springs. The Museum is open September through May on Wednesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and June through August on Friday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission to the Museum is free.

he Palm Springs Public Library and the Palm Springs Human Rights Commission are partnering together to screen the film “Storied Streets” at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 12. Keeping a human face on the critical issue of homelessness, the film captures personal stories from Los Angeles to New York, of homeless and formerly homeless individuals. Real, raw and compassionate, these personal experiences inspire viewers to question their own beliefs. Produced by Susan Sarandon and her son, Jack Henry Robbins this powerful documentary continues to educate and inspire. Jack Henry Robbins was pleased to hear about the event and told the Commission, “I’m so grateful that the movie continues to challenge stereotypes and raise awareness.” Following the film, the Commission will share information regarding resources currently in place working to serve our local homeless population. The screening is free and open to the public, but seating is limited. The film will be presented in The Learning Center at the Library. The mission of the Palm Springs

Human Rights Commission is to promote and protect the diversity of our community and to improve human relations through education and community awareness. The City of Palm Springs established the Human Rights Commission in 1992. The nine-member commission of volunteer citizens is appointed by the City Council for three-year terms and meets the second Monday of the month at City Hall, 3200 E.

film review

‘Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children’ Tim Burton makes misfits feel welcomed

By Neil Pond

he teenage years can be rough, making kids feel like outsiders, outcasts, oddballs. Wouldn’t it be awesome if there were a place young misfits could feel welcome, safe, protected, understood—and important? And no, I’m not talking about the Neil Pond chess club. In “Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children,” director Tim Burton creates just such a place—or, more specifically, brings it spectacularly to life from Ransom Riggs’ 2011 young adult novel, a sprawling tall tale of mystery, monsters, a young boy on a tick-tocking, time-looping quest to discover his past, and some very, very peculiar kids. “Did you ever feel like nothing you do

matters?” asks teenage Jake (Asa Butterfield) in the opening scene as a crab scuttles across a footprint on a Florida beach seconds before a wave washes it away. Soon enough Jake himself will be swept across the water on a journey to a magical place that previously existed only in his imagination, fueled by colorful bedtime stories of his beloved grandfather (Terence Stamp), where he’ll find out just how needed he can be. Visiting a remote, mist-shrouded island off the coast of Wales with his father (Chris O’Dowd), Jake discovers a decrepit old mansion bombed to rubble by German air raids in World War II. But stumbling into a “time loop” leads him back to 1943, just before the raids—when Miss Peregrine, her home and all the “peculiar children” were in full swing. There’s lovely, lighter-than-air Emma (Ella Purnell), who must use steampunkish lead boots and rope tethers to keep her from floating away. Hot-handed Olive (Lauren McCrostie) can set things ablaze with a simple touch. Millard (Cam-

eron King), an invisible boy, likes to run around naked—not that you’d notice. Tiny Bronwyn (Pixie Davies) has the strength of a brute. Whenever Hugh (Milo Parker) opens his mouth, bees that live in his stomach come swarming out. Sweetlooking Claire (Raffiella Chapman) has a nasty surprise underneath the blonde curls of her hair. Enoch (Finlay MacMillan) has a creepy power to animate inanimate objects—including the dead. The faces of two “twin cousins” are always covered, in spooky white hoods with holes for their eyes and mouths— for a reason not revealed until close to the end of the movie. And as the exotic, pipe-smoking Miss Peregrine, Eva Green (Bond girl Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale) superbly channels her character’s enchanted mission with steely British resolve and flinty maternal focus. She can also morph into a bird, a fleet, regal peregrine falcon. How cool is that?! Samuel L. Jackson is the evil Mr. Barron—no actor mixes campy humor and

genuine menace with such unsettling ease or malevolent charm. There’s Allison Janney and Judi Dench. There’s danger, derring-do, adventure, excitement, laughter, young love and a couple of gross-out creature-feature moments that might be too much for little eyes. But mostly, there’s director Tim Burton’s thematic signature, everywhere. Burton has always had a thing for outsiders and outliers, misfits like Pee-Wee Herman, Sweeny Todd, Beetlejuice and Willy Wonka, and for classic Hollywood quirk. The topiaries in Miss Peregrine’s courtyard—an elephant, a dinosaur, a centaur—look like they could have been the whimsical snip-snip artistry of Edward Scissorhands. And one major scene is a huge nod—an homage, certainly—to the cheesy highlight of a specific 1960s movie (with stop-motion effects by the late special-effects guru Ray Harryhausen) that Burton has admitted is one of his all-time favorites. Burton even slips into the action for a super-quick, gob-smacked cameo. Blink and you’ll miss him! So outsiders, outcasts and oddballs everywhere, of all ages, let your freak flag fly—courtesy of Miss Peregrine, and Tim Burton.
