Partly green with a hint of sunshine

Sustainable building techniques are becoming more common locally

T

ip-toeing to the tipping point of sustainable buildings and a solar future. That’s one way to describe current activity in local construction.

While most homes and commercial buildings constructed over the past few years rarely go above mandated codes for energy efficiency, some daring developers are pushing the envelope.

Taking risks. Using innovative building practices. Sketching the promise of near-Zero Energy construction for the Georgia coast.

“I’m a plant man.” That’s not only a definition of himself, it also defines Gregg Bayard’s philosophy. A burly former forester and horticulturist, comfortable under a fine patina of dust from a roadway under construction, he and his business partner Curry Wadsworth, with 20 years experience as a landscaper, are turning a heavily wooded, former fishing camp on Salt Creek into a housing development overlooking -- and preserving -- the marsh.

But not just any development. Barbour Pointe, limited to 36 of a potential 56 home sites, promises to be a model for a sustainable, conservation-oriented community on our ecologically fragile coast.

“Tree preservation was a top priority,” says Bayard, “and we wanted to preserve site hydrology with a low impact development.”

While there is no immediate plan for solar photovoltaics, there is enough additional roof space to add panels later.

The firm has been active in preservation work for years.

“Adaptive reuse is a green kind of thing to do, and I am amazed at how durable and adaptable the buildings are,” Lominack says.

Some renovations of existing buildings in the Historic District go beyond Corian countertops and new kitchen cabinets to incorporate many energy saving techniques.

Alex Grikitis, renovator/builder and a realtor with Judge Realty, the first eco-brokerage in Savannah, is turning a six-unit building on Troup Square into five LEED certified condos. Some of the features include using a soy-based spray–on insulation in the attic, all energy efficient lighting and appliances, 3M insulating film on windows.

A new roofing system uses a reflective felt that yields a 15 percent reduction in heat gain. A high-tech Smart Home controller regulates the range of heating and cooling for the entire building, while allowing individually adjustable zones in each unit. Roof mounted solar panels are also planned.

However, it was the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina that propelled Grikitis to his latest, and most ambitious, project.

Ridgeland Plantation (in Ridgeland, S.C.) is billed as a “positive contribution to the environment.” It will be launched with the construction of six model houses on 3.5 acres to be followed by 123 homes on 58 acres.

Grikitis started renovations while a senior preservation major at SCAD. He convinced teachers and fellow students to completely renovate a house in Ardsley Park as a class project. He and his wife, Maggie, went on to restore 13 houses, with his father acting as equity partner.

A view of the Frogtown Urban Lofts off MLK, under construction

Over the course of these restorations “my dad helped me put together a team.”

When Hurricane Katrina left New Orleansbased architect Nurthan Goturk without a home, he was added to the team. And it was Hurricane Katrina that introduced Grikitis to modular homes Modular homes are built indoors, almost factory style, off-site. They come in sections with completed windowed walls, interior walls, and kitchen and bath units, and are trucked to, and assembled on, the building site. A regional modular home manufacturer can complete seven houses a week.

They are all built to local building codes and can be customized. Ridgeland Plantation will feature 12 different models, “five from the manufacturer and seven of our design,” says Grikitis.

Grikitis anticipates LEED certification and plans to have his houses certified green out of the factory. Exterior walls, for example, will use 2x6 framing lumber, instead of the typical 2x4s. That allows for extra insulation, and provides 135 mile-per-hour hurricane wind resistance. Soy-based insulation will be sprayed into the walls and attic.

A Smart Home system, allowing computer control of heating, air conditioning, lighting and appliances will also be built in.

What does certification mean?

Locally there are three certifying agencies. Energy Star, EarthCraft, and LEED. Energy Star qualified homes “are at least 15 percent more energy efficient than homes built to the 2004 International Residential Code (IRC)”.

EarthCraft House goals yield “healthy, efficient, environmentally friendly homes that cost less to run and maintain and are healthier and more comfortable, higher construction quality.” Typical energy savings: 20-35 percent.

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System “promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability including: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, and indoor environmental quality.” Typical energy savings: 40-55 percent.

Combining high energy efficiency with an expandable solar electric and/or solar hot water system can result in a Near-Zero Energy building.

Each house will have its own vertical loop geothermal system. Roads and driveways are made of limestone-based pervious paving, and brick sidewalks replicate the pattern in the nearby town center.

One of the most ambitious local projects, Sustainable Fellwood, seeks to achieve a housing development that is both affordable AND sustainable. It brings together some of the local leaders in sustainable development.

According to architect Forrest Lott of Lott+Barber, Fellwood Homes began as a Housing Authority development, operated and maintained as low income housing in a series of stucco over block duplexes. All the buildings were razed and the approximately 25-acre parcel just south of West Bay Street represents an opportunity, and a challenge.

“We really want to do this,” says Lott. “If there ever was an opportunity to try something different economically and environmentally, this is it. It’s a good test for better environmental design.”

The concept represents a new direction for affordable housing. “It features mixed income, mixed housing types – single family, multifamily, retail, townhouses – apartments over retail, some straight retail and a central landscaped commons.”

Moreover, its location, bounded on three sides by existing single-family homes, “puts it back into the community.”

Financing for the project will come from a number of sources, with government tax incentives playing an important role.

However, as those funds are limited, “our application is in, but we won’t hear until September.”

The master developer, Melaver, Inc., brings in its expertise as a builder of LEED certified projects and has already filed an application for one of the initial LEED-New Development designations. continued on page

The roadway snakes its way around trees.

“We surveyed 250 trees with over a 14inch diameter, breast height. And,” he says proudly, “we only needed to take out six trees.”

Six to eight feet under the roadway is the largest unified geothermal installation in the area. “At that depth,” explains Joseph Christiansen, president of Geothermal Energy Management, “the temperature of the earth remains at a constant year-round 68 degrees.”

Three parallel loops of water-filled plastic pipe will tie into each house creating an energy efficient system that reduces both heating in winter and cooling in summer.

“Between the geothermal for the development and EarthCraft certified construction for each home, I anticipate that a 1500-2000 square foot home would cost $1 a day to heat and cool,” says Bayard.

All utilities are also placed under the roadway, consisting of pervious pavers to reduce storm water run-off. “As the water soaks into the ground, we don’t have to build curbs or install storm drains,” notes Bayard.

While extensive tree cover may reduce the possibility for extensive use of solar panels on each house, a shed to be built next to the dock will provide 6000 kilowatt hours a year of solar electricity, enough to offset 27 street lights and lighting for common areas and a small pavilion.

From marshland to the urban core architects are “going green”.

“Reduction of energy demand,” stresses Jerry Lominack, of Lominack Coleman Smith, is an integral part of new construction. A major project underway, Frogtown Urban Lofts, just off Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. and the onramp to I-16, encapsulates much of what it means to “go green”.

Developed for the same client that built the LEED Gold Starland Lofts, the structures that comprise 39 units are framed with 8-inch thick concrete panels, manufactured locally. Each panel has 4 inches of reinforced concrete, topped with 2 inches of rigid insulation and capped with 2 more inches of reinforced concrete.

“While the typical R-value (a measure of insulation) under building codes is 13, ours is over 30,” says Lominack.

Other features: energy efficient window glass, high efficiency heat pumps, dual flush toilets, load bearing masonry walls, hollow core floor system, on demand hot water, compact fluorescent lighting, Energy Star appliances. The buildings are essentially non-combustible.

“We can reduce the need for energy just in the way windows are oriented, as well as better planning, better design, alternate sources of energy.”

The buildings will have 9,000 square feet of vegetated green roof, pervious parking areas and paving, which, in conjunction with a small drainage swale, exceeds requirements for storm water runoff.

“The green roof systems protect the roofing membrane – meaning longer life for the roof -- and provides a 30 to 40 percent cooling effect on internal space,” say Lominack.

“We’re trying to find the best fit from old and new technologies; to lower the cost of running a multi-family house, thus raising the standard of living for the occupants,” says Lott.

Some of the goals: minimize site impact by retaining almost all of the existing trees, many over 60 years old; maximize passive building orientation; provide more day lighting through the alignment of doorways and the use of transoms; build well insulated, energy efficient structures.

They are also exploring geothermal systems, a gray water system, and possibly solar.

Energy efficiency is rapidly becoming a new marketing tool. Lott reports that at a recent meeting of the American Institute of Architects, with 24,000 attendees, “they are all now focused on sustainability.”

The wild, wild west I

These are not the stereotypical ragged and infected Latinos of Lou Dobbs’ and Bill O’Reilly’s tormented, spittle-flecked tirades.

They’re ranch owners, ranchhands, mayors, judges, cops, cooks, actors, artists, sanitation workers. Some live in estates, some in subdivisions, some in trailers.

They’re not villains and they’re not victims. They’re people, doing what people do.

Among other things, my travels out west have taught me that “immigration” is more properly called “migration.” In centuries to come, scholars will likely teach an American history timeline much like this: • 10,000 years of native presence; • 300 years of Hispanic domination; • 200 years of Anglo domination; • 500 more years of Hispanic domination.

The truth is that the Anglo presence in about half the continental U.S. has always been and remains a very fleeting thing.

Much like Paris Hilton’s jail time.

The other ancient presence in the southwest, of course, is that of its Native Americans. Actually, Indians.

Turns out you can call ‘em that out west.

Indians out there call themselves Indians all the time and have no problem if you do the same. The whole political correctness thing is primarily an east coast pathology.

While passing through the big Navajo reservation in Arizona, we even saw a high school with a sign out front reading “Red Mesa Redskins.” I kid you not.

Happily, the reservations are better off than I remember from last trip. I don’t know if it’s the casino money or what, but both the Navajo and Hopi reservations are chocka-block with huge, brand-new, immaculate and state-of-the-art schools and hospitals.

The Navajo in particular seem to be a confident people at peace with their world.

While what whites would identify as poverty is ever-present in Navajo villages in the form of unkempt trailers and broken-down pickup trucks, it’s also true that each compound, no matter how humble, has its own hogan, the traditional circular wood and mud house used for rituals and relaxation.

The Hopi are different -- more inscrutable, more conservative, the fatalistic Egyptians to the Navajo’s dynamic Greeks.

High up on a mesa in Arizona, we passed one Hopi village, Oraibi, which is the oldest continuously occupied community in the entire Western Hemisphere. Hopi families have lived in those same sun-blasted adobe houses for well over 1000 years. I shake my head every time I think about that.

Anyway, for those with an interest in this, I’ll be writing about the trip more extensively, with photos, at my blog on the www.connectsavannah.com homepage.

Connect Savannah June 20th, 2007 www.connectsavannah.com

learned a long time ago that if you wait until you can afford a vacation, you’ll never take one. So every year my family and I make a point of going on at least one decent trip, whether or not the money’s there. (Credit cards are indeed one of the great inventions of humankind.

Don’t let anyone tell you differently.)

This year we took a two-week jaunt through the great American southwest. Yes, my cheesy new mugshot here is me at the Grand Canyon. I concur with Theodore Roosevelt that it is indeed the one place where every American should go.

One of the great things about a vacation is realizing how easy is it to get along without the mainstream media. Before we left, all the news revolved around Paris Hilton.

The two times during our trip I was forced to overhear a cable news show -- one CNN, one Fox -- both times the lead story was about Paris Hilton. And after we got back to Savannah last week, the news still led with Paris Hilton.

Apparently sometime in the last month, the war in Iraq ended, the Palestinian issue was settled, global warming was solved, gas prices came down and the housing market heated back up. I should go on vacation more often!

Anyway, one of the few non-Paris stories out there is the “controversy” over immigration (I use air quotes because anyone with an attention span longer than a gnat’s can see that immigration only became a “controversy” when the Iraq war became impossible for the media to sell any longer). Going to the southwest gives you a different and much more accurate perspective on this.

I’d been out west a couple of other times, but never to New Mexico, where we spent about half our time this trip. Despite New Mexico’s constant struggle to get the rest of dumbed-down America to realize it’s actually a state and not part of Mexico at all, in my experience it is indeed the place in the U.S. that is most like a foreign country.

Contrary to what our kids read in schoolbooks back east, the Spanish presence in the western U.S. is vastly more rich, deep and comprehensive than just a few mustachioed guys in armor lusting for gold.

There are Hispanic families in the mountains and valleys of northern New Mexico who go back 400 years -- four centuries of work, play, feast, famine, crime, punishment, baptisms, weddings, funerals.

The oldest of old-money families in Savannah and Charleston would be considered nouveau riche in New Mexico, where grandparents still speak with a Castilian accent and the farmsteads rely on the same irrigation ditches, or acequias, their ancestors dug in the 1600s.

Point of clarification

Editor, I enjoyed the story “A Second Chance,”

by Clarence Wilson very much but there were a few points in error: I do not have a Master’s degree. I received my MD degree from the Medical University of SC. My time in Miami consisted of one month during my fellowship. Prior to coming to GA, I served as the Director of Alabama’s crime labs and Chief Medical Examiner for 4 years and as an ME in Mobile AL for another 5 years.

Pack in the pachyderms

Editor, My husband and I live here in Savannah.

We just took the most wonderful trip, and I want to tell you about it. We visited the Riddle’s Elephant and Wildlife Sanctuary in Arkansas about an hour north of Little Rock. They have an “Elephant Experience Weekend” where you stay at the sanctuary and teach you everything you want to know about these intelligent animals.

A lady named Sue stood awaiting our car, but we were distracted from her due to the two African elephants also standing by in a nearby pasture. I would learn that they were Amy and Toby, two of thirteen African and Asian elephants at the sanctuary.

We stood and watched them eat their hay in silence for a few minutes. All you could hear was the swish swish as they twirled the hay up like spaghetti. There were no thunderous foot steps, no car-horn trumpets, just the quiet sound of elephants eating dinner.

The rest of the weekend was spent with Scott Riddle as our guide. He was a man that was not prone to small talk, but answered questions from eleven guests all weekend long. Those answers soon branched off to his history with elephants, his love of succulents, and the fact that he and his wife had never taken a vacation at the same time.

I left the weekend wanting to help them in any way possible. I decided that they needed to get on Oprah for some good PR. So, while at work I suggested that my customers go to Oprah’s web page and click on the “Be on the show” link. Under the list of topics I told them to click on “Do you know someone doing a good job?” and tell about the sanctuary. I’ve learned that in a few days emails have spread across the country. I don’t know if we’ll get them on Oprah, but I thought you might tell your readers about them! Go to www.elephantsanctuary.org/.

from recent Savannah/Chatham Police incident reports

Signs of the Times

An officer on routine patrol at Highway 204 and Interstate 95 saw a woman on the off ramp holding a sign and running in and out of traffic. The sign read, “Traveling, hungry, anything will help.” The officer conducted a field interview with the woman, and asked her if she had any illegal drugs on her person.

The woman replied that she had some marijuana on her and then handed the officer a plastic baggie containing a green leafy substance.

The officer then asked if she had anything else, at which point she reached into her back pocket and handed over a small bottle with no label affixed. She said she had just found the bottle down the road and was unsure of its contents.

Further inspection of the bottle revealed six small white pills with the number two on them wrapped in tissue paper.

An agent with the Chatham Narcotics Team advised that the pills were a Schedule IV narcotic suspected to be Clonazepam.

The green leafy substance was field tested and proved to be marijuana. The woman was placed under arrest and charged with possession of marijuana less than one ounce, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drugs not in their original container.

• After receiving harassing phone calls all hours of the day and night, a woman went to Precinct 6 to file a complaint.

She said the calls had occurred over four days. She said the suspects sounded like teenagers who were cursing and playing on the phone.

When the first call came, the caller identified himself as “Fred” and said he wanted to talk to her. She told him, “I’m married, I don’t know you and don’t call me.”

Then a female started calling her as late as 3 a.m. and calling her names. The woman said when she answers the phone now, music is playing but no one says anything. The Caller ID shows the number as being a private listing. The woman contacted her wireless provider, and was advised to have the police contact them for further information on tracking down the source of the calls.

• A shop owner on West River Street flagged an officer down and said, “Officer, that man is bothering people for money.”

The officer saw the man standing in front of the shop with his hand out toward two unknown women. The officer told him to come over and talk.

The man was highly intoxicated. He said he was trying to get to North Carolina for a job and needed some money to get there.

He was placed under arrest. As the officer began to fill out paperwork, the man became verbally abusive in earshot of passing tourists and children. The man was charged with panhandling, public drunkenness and disorderly conduct.

The shop owner said the man came to her and asked for money to travel to North Carolina. She said she refused, saying that the man would only purchase more alcohol with the money.

• Police were called to an Abercorn Street convenience store on a report of a robbery in progress. A clerk at the store said a man came in and bought a pack of gum. When the clerk opened the register, the man pushed him back and reached over the counter and pulled $20 out of the cash register.

The man then fled from the store with a second man. Both ran south on Abercorn.

The area was searched for the suspects with no luck. Forensics arrived to take fingerprints, and a detective arrived to collect the surveillance video. The clerk told police he believes the man was the same person who robbed the store a month earlier. He was given a case report number card.

• When a woman went to retrieve some items from her ex-boyfriend’s West 42nd Street apartment, he battered her.

The woman said she and the suspect became involved in a verbal altercation over her new boyfriend. She said the suspect became violent and began hitting and kicking her. There was visible laceration to the woman’s right hand that was bleeding, but she refused treatment from EMS. The suspect was asked for some identification. He handed an officer a Georgia ID card with a name that was different from his. He denied any physical contact with the victim, and told police he had only told her to leave. A witness told police she could hear the couple arguing. The suspect was arrested on charges of battery and having false identification. w

Defense Exhibit A

In a Palmerston, New Zealand, court in March, lawyer Janet Robertshawe was called as a witness on behalf of an “alternative health” practitioner who had been charged with taking indecent liberties with female clients, and Robertshawe (a longtime client) agreed to help demonstrate the man’s massage technique. Just feet from the jury, she removed her top and lay on a massage table while he gave her a vigorous, deep mashing, which shook her chest-covering towel off several times. Robertshawe later testified (while clothed) that the man’s treatments had worked wonders for her: “I guess the treatments aren’t for the faint-hearted.”

People With Issues

Internationally known West Papuan freedom-fighter Jacob Rumbiak, 49, who was once locked up for 10 years by Indonesia as a political prisoner, was convicted in April of three separate incidents, on the same day in 2005, of masturbating in public on trains in Australia (where he is a research associate at RMIT University).

According to Melbourne’s The Age newspaper, his record includes arrests for at least three other, similar offenses on trains or airliners. Of the latest conviction, according to The Age’s reporter, “If Rumbiak was humiliated (by the judge’s decision) ... he showed no sign of it,” and following the verdict, he shook hands with the police investigator.

Update

The international movement to anoint apes with “human rights” suffered a slight setback in April when an Austrian judge refused to declare a chimpanzee a “person” (which, under Austrian law, would have entitled it to a legal guardian and allowed individuals to donate money to it). The chimp, Hiasl, and a companion are in limbo after their sanctuary went bankrupt, and their supporters say a guardian is necessary to keep them out of zoos or research labs. Said one activist: “We mean (by human rights) the right to life, the right not to be tortured, the right to freedom under certain circumstances. We’re not talking about the right to vote.” Austria’s neighbor, Germany, prohibits using apes for research.

Fine Points of the Law

Benoit Derosiers, 51, who police said was so inebriated that he could barely speak when stopped for DUI and who had trouble standing, beat the charge in Provincial Court in Sudbury, Ontario, in April when he proved to the judge a “legal necessity” for driving drunk: He had just attempted suicide and thus was forced to rush himself to the nearest hospital in order to get psychiatric care to head off another attempt. w

Bird Flu Mutation

United Nations health officials warned that the deadly H5N1 strain of avian influenza is mutating unpredictably and at a rapid pace. The announcement came during a World Health Organization (WHO) presentation at a meeting of 21 Asia Pacific health ministers in Sydney. “The virus is already entrenched, embedded in this part of the world and ... it has been very, very unstable and changeable,” said WHO regional director Shigeru Omi. Meanwhile, health officials in Indonesia warned that a strain of the bird flu virus that more easily infects humans has emerged. The Indonesian strain has infected 309 people since 2003, killing 188. Omi told the Sydney gathering that the Indonesian strain, which was once two distinct grades, has now spilt into four subgroups.

Gorilla Orphan

Park rangers in the Democratic Republic of the Congo rescued a 2-month-old mountain gorilla found clinging to its dead mother, which had been shot executionstyle through the back of its head. “It was an act of sabotage, against tourism, against research,” Paulin Ngobobo, senior warden in eastern Congo’s Virunga National Park, told Agence France-Presse. He believes the killing was not committed by poachers since the mother’s body and infant were not sold to the lucrative black market.

gorilla was shot as well. Only about 700 mountain gorillas remain in the wild, with more than half of them living in Virunga. At least two were killed and eaten earlier this year by militia fighters who had taken refuge in the park.

Deadly Heat Wave

The intense pre-monsoon heat wave that has baked much of the Indian subcontinent for two months claimed an additional 156 lives in India and Pakistan, raising this season’s heat-related death toll to at least 340. Hundreds more were hospitalized with heat stroke and intestinal illness as temperatures soared to 122 degrees Fahrenheit in some areas. Related power outages due to increased demand for air conditioning sparked several demonstrations from angry people frustrated with power providers.

Around Pakistan’s southern port city of Karachi, residents blocked roads with burning tires and pelted police vans with stones.

Australian Tempest

The worst storm to lash Australia’s southeastern coast in 30 years left a trail of destruction across many parts of New South Wales before unleashing severe flooding that turned farmland into inland seas. Four days of wild weather ravaged two regions of the state and parts of metropolitan Sydney, claiming 10 lives. Health authorities warned that floodwaters polluted with sewage posed a risk of disease across the disaster zone. Prime Minister John Howard said the storm and subsequent flooding had rendered the area almost unrecognizable from the air.

Earthquakes

A powerful offshore quake rocked Guatemala and El Salvador, causing buildings to sway in the capitals of Guatemala City and San Salvador. People rushed into the streets as the shaking lasted for nearly a minute.

The United Nations food agency told Yemen that radical measures are necessary to save its crops from what could become the country’s worst locust outbreak in nearly 15 years. Food and Agriculture Organization expert Keith Cressman warned that “widespread breeding is in progress within a large and remote area of an estimated 19,300 square miles in the interior of Yemen, where locust swarms are likely to form.” The agency also cautioned that Yemen was not “sufficiently equipped to deal with the problem, facing a shortage of vehicles, pesticides, sprayers, communication equipment and trained field teams.”

Dolphin ‘Chat Line’

Researchers in the Florida Keys have installed a dolphin “chat line” between two marine mammal facilities to help a newborn dolphin learn to vocalize normally.

The calf ’s deaf mother speaks in a monotone, similar to the way that humans who cannot hear speak, according to Robert Lingenfelser, president of the Marine Mammal Conservancy. He said he hopes a two-way audio link between the calf ’s tank and a lagoon at the nearby Dolphins Plus facility will allow the newborn to communicate normally with others of its species.

Underwater speakers and microphones at both sites should allow the calf to speak with the other dolphins. w

Radio airplay, and made several “Best Of ” lists.

However, due to the fact that any quirky rock band of forty and fifty-yearolds —no matter how incredible they are— simply isn’t going to get played on terrestrial radio or profiled in magazines like Blender, RAR has to date sold less than 5,000 copies. That’s a shame, to be sure, but you’d never know it by Calder, who at this point in his career knows that cash and widespread stardom would be nice, but there’s something to be said for being in a band that has the respect of their peers and of those who take intelligent rock music very seriously.

Not to mention that in addition to commonplace hindrances like poor album distribution or major-label indifference (the band was signed to the massive A&M Records in the mid-’80s), he knows exactly why his band never hit the jackpot.

“Unlike the rest of our friends (such as The B-52’s), who wisely focused themselves in a single, minimal direction, The Q’s were a more complicated idea,” he explains.

“We shifted focus between male and female singers; some of the songs were funny, some serious. Some material had a blues oriented, primitive approach; some had a melodic, folk-ish approach. All of it was unique, but it was never any one thing. This reflects our essential quixotic nature.

“Plus, you have to remember that all of the groups we traveled and played with back then, such as The Police, DEVO, Pylon, The Romantics, etc... None of those musicians were dabblers. We were into having fun, but we were also very serious, ambitious, and hardworking.”

While the band’s history — archived at www. swimmingpoolqs.com— is both storied and lengthy. Amazingly, they’ll actually celebrate their 30th Anniversary as a performing group next year. It’s worth noting that they’ll celebrate that milestone with the long-awaited deluxe CD reissue of their long unavailable A&M releases (their eponymous “Q” album and Blue Tomorrow), which have regularly hovered near the top of online petitions for rare records never pressed on CD. And, as if that weren’t enough, the group —which currently features founding members Calder, lead guitarist Bob Elsey, longtime drummer Bill Burton and vocalist Anne Richmond Boston (back in the group after many years as a solo artist)— is already hard at work on their next album, entitled Suddenly Not Yet. In anticipation of the band’s return to a town that was one of the first to welcome the group in their infancy —and which served as one of their strongest markets until the live music scene here crashed in the early ‘90s— I asked a few longtime local Q’s fans continued on page 16

he last time Atlanta’s fabled alternative rock band The Swimming Pool Q’s graced Savannah with their presence, they were touring in support of a deluxe CD reissue of their groundbreaking 1981 LP The Deep End. Packaged with as much pomp, circumstance, biographical info and rare photos as the most extensive limited-edition Rhino Handmade release, that disc posited the group as strong contenders for the title “best American rock band you’ve never heard of.”

Music journalists who loved the band in their formative years swooned when presented with a crystal-clear, remastered version of an album whose grooves they’d long ago worn out, and those who were never hip to that quirky, snarling, punk and newwave-inspired collection of chicken-fried Beefheartery the first time around likely asked themselves out loud, “where on earth have I been all this time?”

In the intervening years, the group — led by the sartorially and lyrically dazzling frontman/songwriter Jeff Calder— used that reissue as a springboard for their first new album in over a decade, the regal, baroque opus Royal Academy of Reality.

That densely-layered —at times almost bemusingly epic— adult pop masterpiece set a standard of sorts for American rock records. Hailed by esteemed critics both here and abroad (in major publications such as The Village Voice, Rolling Stone, The Washington Post, Q Magazine and Amplifier) as “a sexy tour de force,” “the most progressive American rock record of the new century,” “Abbey Road wrapped in kudzu,” and “flat-out astonishing,” it received signifi-

(some of whom have known or worked with the band closely over the years) to tell me just why this peculiar and ever-evolving rock group has meant so much to them over the past few decades: Bill Hodgson is a guitarist and singer who’s been a member of area bands such as The Tremors and Rhythm Riot; Kevin Rose is a guitarist and songwriter who’s been in City of Lindas, GAM and Superhorse; Greg Williams is a prolific singer/songwriter who’s released several indie CDs under his own name; and Skip Jennings is a guitarist who’s played with The Massey Boys.

different from anything I’d ever seen in a club before. Everything about them was just put together so much better than most.

How long have you been a Pool Q’s fan?

You know, J.E. is playing this show.

Skip Jennings: I saw the Q’s a few times “back in the day.” The most memorable one was down on River Street around 1980.

Bill Hodgson: That’s the classic lineup!

That’s the version of The Pool Q’s that could just kill you in a club, man.

Bill Hodgson: I saw what had to have been one of their very first shows in Savannah.

When The Q’s came to town, they might as well have been from Mars! There had been a few new wave or punk type bands come through town before, but they just sucked!

They were amateurish. The Q’s could just peel your hair back. They were incredible.

Did you ever think they’d still be together?

Bill Hodgson: It’s pretty wild that I’m gonna see them this weekend, almost thirty years after I first did! (laughs) That does blow my mind. But knowing those guys a little bit I can completely understand it. They’re a team, man. No big egos.

Kevin Rose: They’re all so proficient as players that they’re not the least bit afraid to seem not so proficient, if you know what I mean. Each night they improvise within the songs, and they’re as curious as the crowd to see where the whole thing will take them.

That’s very unusual in an alternative rock band format.

What do you mean?

What makes this group so unique?

What do you think The Q’s legacy is?

Bill Hodgson: They were just completely

Greg Williams: It’s gotta be the songwrit-

Bill Hodgson: As far as Southern punk or

Skip Jennings: I remember that another couple went with us who were decidedly not into punk or new wave, but The Q’s converted them to newer music.

Did you ever think The Q’s could be stars?

Bill Hodgson: I remember the first shows with J.E. Garnett on bass and Billy Burton on drums. That was the moment when they went from being a really good regional act to something “major label quality.”

ing. Calder’s definitely a genius when it comes to that. And Bob Elsey is like a longlost Jimmy Page that nobody seems to know anything about! He’s completely underrated.

In fact, that entire band is like some kind of missing link. (laughs)

new wave, or whatever you want to call it goes — The Pool Q’s were the beginning and the end of all that! (laughs) They were in a class of their own, and a lot of bands came along and tried to ride that same thing, but The Q’s just blew ‘em all away.

Kevin Rose: It’s their irreverent, Southern Gothic songwriting combined with the way they deliver the goods musically.

Greg Williams: It’s amazing we can still see them and that they’re making new CDs. So many great bands reunite after years apart and are never as good as in their heyday, but these guys never really broke up. I’m sure The Q’s are gonna sound as good this weekend as they ever did. w

What does their music remind you of?

Greg Williams: I consider them one of the most original bands I’ve ever heard. I hear all the classic influences, like The Beatles and The Stones and Joni Mitchell, but in the same way The Beatles wound up total originals —especially in their middle period— that’s how I think of The Q’s.

Why are their live shows so infamous?

Tiny Team presents The Swimming Pool Q’s with special guests Hot Pink Interior 8 pm Saturday at American Legion Post 135 (1108 Bull St.). Tickets to this 21+ show are $12 in advance or $14 at the door, and can be charged online at www.tinyteamconcerts.info, or bought with cash at Primary Art Supply, Le Chai galerie du vin, Annie’s Guitars & Drums, Silly Mad CDs, Marigold Beauty Concepts and Angel’s BBQ.

The Back River Ramblers

| Connect Recommends by Jim Reed

This beloved bluegrass act (who are actually related) has been a major touring entity since they formed in Colorado in the early ‘90s, and includes father Bill Chapman and his three sons John, Jeremy and Jason.

They’ve branched out into soulful a cappella vocals, but they remain known best for their roots approach to the bluegrass tradition. For advance $20 tickets to this intimate show, call 748-1930. Fri., 8 pm, Randy Wood’s Concert Hall (1304 E. Hwy 80, Bloomingdale)- ALL-AGES.

Drum & Bass Show

Local electronic dance music promoters Symbiotek Productions once more bring some established local, regional and national talent together for an all-out DnB revue.

Headlined by Portland, Oregon’s own DJ Noah D, the event also includes Atlanta’s DJ Staf, Savannah’s Symbiotek, Statesboro’s DJ Repler & Hilton Head’s DJ Shrapnel (who’s NOT to be confused with Savannah’s own DJ Shrapnel, who’s been spinning in this area for years under that name). Thurs., 9 pm, B & B Ale House.

The Claire Frazier & Peter Tavalin Jazz Duo

Frazier is a recent transplant from the West Coast who’s been making waves in the local jazz scene with her distinctive vocals.

Tavalin is a music educator, composer and keyboardist who’s known for frequent solo gigs at the Mansion on Forsyth Park. Fri. Sat., 7 pm, Vic’s on The River.

The Decalogue, Pt. 1

Okay, I know this isn’t a live music listing, but it’s the kind of thing you’re not likely to see covered anywhere else, and it does have my highest recommendation.

This is the first weekly installment of this 10-part series of hour-long films on each of the Ten Commandments and which are being screened in order by organizer (and SCAD Film & Video Professor) Michael Cheney. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Krzysztof Kieslowski, they were originally made in 1989 for Polish TV, and their reputation was cemented when the late Stanley Kubrick called them the only filmic masterpiece he knew of that had been made during

his lifetime. Each screening will be introduced by a local clergy person from an ecumenical selection of local houses of worship including representatives from mainline Protestant, Catholic, Jewish and Unitarian faiths. Tues., 8 pm, The Sentient Bean Coffeehouse - FREE TO ALL-AGES.

Voodoo Soup

One of the more unique cover bands in town, this loose-limbed unit revolves around the phenomenally talented bassist and vocalist Eric Moore (of The Permanent Tourists). He has an encyclopedic knowledge of funk, soul, R & B and rock tunes, and basically calls them out, while the other members (all of whom are extremely versatile and given to improvisation) jump in and freeform their way through often-uncharted waters. Wed. & Mon., 9 pm, Fiddler’s Crab House (River St.).

William Kanengiser and York is a virtuoso musician in his own right. I’m told that a family connection has resulted in this unexpected show. Anyone who cares for advanced guitar music should not let this wonderful (and reasonably priced) concert pass them by. Proceeds benefit the temple’s building campaign. Tickets are $15 for the public, $10 for synagogue members, $8 for students and $6 for those 12 and under, and are available in advance and at the door. Sun., 3 pm, Temple Mickve Israel (Bull St. at Monterey Square) - ALLAGES. w

Andrew York

Another tremendous opportunity to witness beautiful, masterful live music in one of Savannah’s most historic houses of worship, this is an intimate afternoon concert by one of the world’s most innovative and highly regarded classical guitar composers. His works have already been recorded by the likes of John Williams, Christopher Parkening, Scott Tennant and

t sounds like a plot twist about a season that wasn’t supposed to be, but is.

The Armstrong Atlantic State University theater program is going to have a summer season, after all. Proposed renovations at Jenkins Theater have been delayed, granting time to stage four shows.

the Masquers will use once they return to Jenkins Theatre,” Incorvaia says.

Ironically, last May, the Masquers, the AASU student theater troupe, closed its season with a “final curtain call,” inviting all theater alumni to return to Jenkins to see the theater one last time before the renovations. The department also celebrated the 70th anniversary of its first public performance in 1937.

The previous season was such as success, it was decided to keep that same feeling intact in the summer season. “Once we had the project renovation plans finalized, it turned out the building isn’t going to be closed until September or October,” Incorvaia says. “We had a tremendous success with the Shakespeare show, and this gave us the opportunity to do it again.”

The year-long closing of Jenkins Theatre undoubtedly will have an impact on the AASU theater program. “It’s hard to say how much it will affect it,” Incorvaia says. “We are trying to determine now where the performances will be held.”

Incorvaia believes theater students will make whatever adjustments are needed.

“They are accustomed to performing in venues that are not traditional theaters,” he says.

“Probably, several performances will be given in a black-box setting. That will give us a great opportunity to focus on the quality of the acting.”

After all, the show must go on. “It’s going to be an excellent season,” Incorvaia says.

“All of these plays have an interesting twist.

Some were made into solid films, which gives them name recognition. It’s a great opportunity.” w General admission tickets for each performance are $8. Seniors, military and nonAASU students can purchase tickets for $7.

AASU faculty, staff and students will be admitted free with a valid AASU ID. Advance tickets can be purchased in person at the AASU AMT Box Office, located in the AASU Fine Arts Building. Box office hours are weekdays from 2-6 p.m. To order by phone, call 927-5381.

a three-person cast, consisting of Brandon Lee, John Martin and Alec Caldas.

Other productions in the summer season are Maxwell Anderson’s chilling thriller The Bad Seed, which will be staged July 5-8; a sketch comedy piece, Parallel Lives, that was written by Mo Gaffney and Kathy Najimy and will be presented July 11-14 and 18-21; and Joseph Kesselring’s dark comedy Arsenic and Old Lace, set for July 26-29. All performances are at 7:30 p.m., with the exception of matinees on July 8 and 29 at 3 p.m.

“The Bad Seed is very dark,” Soroko says.

“Arsenic and Old Lace is dark, but it’s also a farce and will be a lot of fun.

“We wanted to utilize some of the scenic elements of Three Corner Moon, the last production at Jenkins,” she says. “We tried to alter stuff so it looks more contemporary.”

The Bad Seed was first produced in the 1950s. Its setting is an old house in the South.

“It’s been years since I’ve seen the movie,” Soroko says. “I recently read the play. I think it’s still shocking. People will enjoy this psychological thriller. It will put them on edge.”

Parallel Lives will be the smallest production, with two cast members, and Arsenic and Old Lace will be the largest production, with 14 cast members. “There is a production team of 15 people who work in different areas,” Soroko says. “They design props, sets and the scenic art. They stay very busy.”

Each production is directed by a student, and Shakespeare is being directed by Jamie Busbin. Each director was asked to choose a play to direct.

“The directors had wanted to do each of the plays on their own merit,” says Mario Incorvaia, AASU arts marketing director.

“All are the directors’ choices. They were asked what they wanted to direct.”

The Bad Seed and Arsenic and Old Lace will be presented in Jenkins Theater, while Shakespeare and Parallel Lives will be presented in the Jenkins Black Box Theater.

Having half of the shows on the main stage and half in the black box theater is working out well. “That’s probably a format

“Some of the artists are coming in from other places,” Kaufman says. “Most are local individuals who were musicians and dancers before they came here.”

Other activities will include face painting, clowns, pinatas and cultural booths.

And of course, food.

There were only two types of food offered at the first fiesta -- Peruvian and Mexican -but attendees loved it.

If America’s “news” outlets aren’t busy reporting on the bad behavior of imbecilic starlets and socialites, then they’re generally taking pains to track every movement -- taken separately or in unison -- of those gorgeous creatures known as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. With so much unwanted media attention, it’s a wonder that our dynamic celebrity duo gets anything done, but here we have Jolie headlining and Pitt producing A Mighty Heart while Pitt also lends his star power to Ocean’s Thirteen. Based on Mariane Pearl’s book A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of My Husband Danny Pearl, the film finds Jolie delivering a remarkably restrained performance as Mariane, whose husband (played by Dan Futterman), a Wall Street Journal reporter, is kidnapped while the pair are living in Pakistan in 2002. Six months pregnant, Mariane tries to stay optimistic in the face of this grim situation, using her own sources to track him down while also relying heavily on the aid of the Pakistani anti-terrorism unit, American diplomats and the FBI. In fact, her outer fortitude is occasionally misinterpreted as a lack of concern (i.e. the Lindy “The dingo’s got my baby” Chamberlain syndrome), which leads some to foolishly question her devotion to her husband. But all that matters to Mariane is having her spouse returned to her, and, given Hollywood’s propensity for promoting American know-how as well as its can-do attitude, it’s perhaps the movie’s most surprising development that the efforts of the Pakistanis, not the U.S. law officials, go the furthest toward cracking the case and bringing the terrorists to justice. The real talent to watch is Indian actor Irfan Khan, who figures prominently as the sympathetic Pakistani captain who employs whatever methods are required to locate Danny Pearl.

Isn’t it accepted -- in fact, isn’t it pretty much gospel -- that the third picture in any given trilogy is when the series has totally lost it, when the filmmakers have been completely replaced by pimps and profiteers?

So how is it possible that Ocean’s Thirteen has emerged as the best of this star-studded franchise? Male-on-male love (platonically speaking, of course) has always been the driving force in this series (even in the 1960 Rat Pack original from which these new works emanate), and this one milks that sense of camaraderie for all it’s worth. The boys are back in town for this latest chapter, and the action begins when one of the group’s senior members, Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould), gets swindled by a venal casino owner named Willy Bank (Al Pacino), who cheats Reuben out of his share in a

swanky new Las Vegas casino. The incident leaves Reuben near death’s door, and Danny Ocean (George Clooney) decides that they owe it to the old-timer (who was his former mentor) to set matters straight. Thus begins an elaborate scheme that finds Rusty Ryan (Brad Pitt) posing as an environmentalist, Linus Caldwell (Matt Damon) disguising himself as an underling with a generous proboscis, and Basher Tarr (Don Cheadle) passing himself off as a stunt cyclist. Yet even all of these cons don’t quite get the job done, forcing the team to reluctantly turn to their old nemesis, Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia), for assistance. Because there are so many characters competing for attention (think back to how poorly utilized Damon was in the first flick), there will always be casualties when it comes to screen time, and in this installment, it’s Bernie Mac who gets hit the hardest -- he’s only allowed one scene in

which he’s allowed to strut his funny stuff.

Yet because this is the most briskly paced of the three, and because the revenge angle provides its protagonists with a particularly poignant rooting interest, it’s hard to get bogged down in the flaws.

Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer 

It remains a mystery how the 2005 superhero yarn Fantastic Four grossed $154 million stateside, considering that most of its special effects were on the level of a 6year-old floating his plastic boat in the bathtub. The good news is that, this time, 20th Century Fox has ensured that much of the loot is visible on the screen. The effects are a vast improvement over those in the previous installment, particularly the CGI-created Silver Surfer. Would that the rest of this

Nancy Drew 

Unless I miss my call, Nancy Drew is the sort of kids’ movie that will be treated with kid gloves by most critics, who will at worst dismiss it as a mere mediocrity. Don’t you believe it. Nancy Drew is a glorious achievement of the so-bad-it’s-brilliantly-bad variety -- I won’t go so far as to state it’s Battlefield: Earth for the Clearasil crowd, but it’s clearly a turkey no matter how it’s sliced up. Author Carolyn Keene’s teen heroine has endured in print as an old-school sleuth, but the makers of this featherbrained film, assuming (perhaps correctly) that setting this any earlier than, oh, 2004 would spell disaster at the box office, have updated it to function as a here-and-now preppy piece, as clueless about its deficiencies as Clueless (its obvious role model) was savvy about its milieu.

Emma Roberts, portraying Nancy as something of a pill, quickly grates as her precocious character moves (along with dad Tate Donovan) from her comfy little hometown of River Heights to a spooky Los Angeles mansion, whereupon she immediately begins investigating the death of a famous actress who passed away decades earlier. Between its portrayal of a faded Hollywood as awash in corruption and decay and its casting of Laura Harring as the murdered starlet, this often feels like a demented attempt to make a kidfriendly version of David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive -- if only this one had also included a freaky white-haired cowboy to bump off the multitude of insufferable characters. And speaking of insufferable, the top honor in that category goes to Spencer Breslin wannabe Josh Flitter, a mini-Lou Costello who contributes more ham than the deli section in any supermarket.

Surf's Up 1/2

The world needs another penguin movie about as much as it needs another Rambo flick. Turns out we’re getting both, but while it’s too early to comment on the upcoming Stallone sequel (though be sure to check out that incredibly violent trailer on YouTube), the animated film about the flightless fowl isn’t bad, with a narrative slant that overcomes its typically blasé story about an underdog who triumphs against the odds while learning important life lessons regarding friendship, sacrifice and self-awareness. Employing a mock-documentary format rarely seen in animated films -- only Aardman’s Oscar-winning Creature Comforts comes to mind -- this pleasant timefiller plays like Dogtown and Z-Boys or The Endless Summer for the small fry, with its tale of a slacker penguin named Cody (Shia LaBeouf) who’s only happy when he’s surfing. He enters into a major international competition, where his rivals include new pal Chicken Joe (Jon Heder) and the bullying (and nine-time defending champion) Tank Evans (Diedrich Bader). An underachiever from the start, Cody eventually finds romance with a cute lifeguard named Lani (Zooey Deschanel, sexy even when voicing a penguin) and a mentor in The Geek (Jeff Bridges, slyly channeling The Dude from The Big Lebowski), a beach bum harboring a big secret. The abundance of schmaltz that plagued Happy Feet is thankfully missing here, though the movie does make sure to shoehorn in the obligatory flatulence gags.

Company and is being ordered to wipe out any pirate ship it encounters. (Don’t look to me to explain any of the backstory; go rent the first two films.) Teaming up with their former enemy Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) head off to find Captain Jack Sparrow (Depp), the only man who’s able to help them put an end to this new age of eradication. The only problem is that Sparrow’s apparently dead, trapped for eternity in Davy Jones’ Locker. To attempt to relay more plot details would probably only lead to reader confusion, so suffice it to say that Sparrow still fears the tentacled Davy Jones (Bill Nighy), Will still hopes to free his tortured father (Stellan Skarsgard) from Davy Jones’ grip, and Elizabeth turns into a kick-ass riot grrrl in much the same manner as Carrie Fisher’s Leia in Return of the Jedi.

All of the series’ regulars are sent off in satisfying (and even surprising) ways, and at its best, the movie exhibits a real affection for the sort of fantasy-tinged material that kept Ray Harryhausen employed back in the day.

As for Keith Richards’ heavily hyped turn as Sparrow’s dad -- well, let’s just say that the Rolling Stone probably spent more time tuning his guitar before any given concert than he did filming his two paltry scenes for this film. There are basically two types of good summer movies: the ones that are accomcont’d on page 32

Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End 

Thirty-three minutes. Yes, it takes 33 minutes into the 168-minute Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End before Johnny Depp even makes an appearance. Considering he’s this franchise’s MVP, that’s a dicey move on the part of the filmmakers; then again, everything about this second sequel operates with a go-for-broke mentality. Pirates 3 is overblown, overstuffed and over-the-top. It’s also entertaining and sometimes even exciting, which right there marks it as an improvement over last summer’s Dead Man’s Chest. In most respects, it’s the sort of summer movie which forces critics to denounce summer movies, relying too heavily on bombast and bullying tactics (both copyrighted trademarks of producer Jerry Bruckheimer). And yet there’s no denying that the picture contains a good measure of whimsy (usually MIA in pre-sold blockbusters) and a great deal of plot (ditto). In fact, there are enough plotlines in this one movie to fill an entire season of Lost or 24, evidence that director Gore Verbinski and scripters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio are at least making an effort to earn their paychecks. Opening with a sequence that feels like an homage (rip-off?) to the start of Return of the Jedi (with Chow Yun-Fat instead of Jabba the Hutt), the film establishes that it’s a dark period for the Rebel Alliance -- excuse me, for the pirates who roam the seas, as the indestructible Flying Dutchman is now under the command of the East India

picture inspired similar admiration. Instead, FF2 suffers from the same ailments that made the original such a drag: ham-fisted direction, embarrassing acting, stilted dialogue and the fumbling of a classic villain. Returning helmer Tim Story does manage a bit more visual pizzazz this time around, and the script by TV heavyweights Don Payne (The Simpsons) and Mark Frost (Twin Peaks) sets up some mildly interesting conflicts, not only between the heroes and their adversaries but also among the team members themselves: group leader Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic (Ioan Gruffudd), fiancee Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Jessica Alba), Reed’s best friend Ben Grimm/The Thing (Michael Chiklis) and Sue’s kid brother Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Chris Evans). Personal issues get thrust onto the backburner, though, once the Silver Surfer (voiced by Laurence Fishburne) flies onto the scene with the intention of destroying the planet. The team must work fast to contain this intergalactic menace, with their efforts hampered by the return of their old nemesis Dr. Doom (Julian McMahon).

Victor Von Doom ranks as one of the comic world’s all-time great villains, yet in both FF films, he’s about as menacing as the parking valet at a ritzy restaurant (and wait till you see what they do to another great villain, the planet-devouring Galactus!).

plished enough to withstand multiple viewings over the years (Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Men In Black) and the ones that offer momentary popcorn thrills but are ultimately so shallow that they can’t hold up under the scrutiny of repeat screenings (Top Gun, Independence Day, Gladiator). Pirates 3 clearly falls into the latter camp: It’s a fine summertime distraction, but woe to the viewer who elects to revisit it somewhere down the line.

Knocked Up 

Like the Farrelly Brothers’ breakout hit There’s Something About Mary, director Judd Apatow’s The 40-Year-Old Virgin was unique in that it managed to successfully mix raunch with romance. Most films that attempt this feat usually err on the side of vulgarity (think American Pie), but just as Mary gave us charming people nicely played by Cameron Diaz and Ben Stiller -- his affection for her was palpable -- Virgin crafted a disarming love story between Steve Carell’s title character and Catherine Keener’s single mom.

Interestingly, this relationship was only amplified by the raucous goings-on surrounding it, as the hijinks of Carell’s buddies brought the romance into sharper relief. Knocked Up, which reunites Apatow with Virgin co-star Seth Rogen, attempts a similar balancing act, only it falls a tad short of attaining the same success as its predecessor. There’s a sweet love story on view here as well, only because it’s more rushed and not allowed to unfold at a natural clip, it ultimately plays second string to the picture’s comedy quota. Fortunately, on that front, the movie’s an unqualified hit: It’s doubtful another film will be released this summer -- maybe even this year -- that offers as many theater-rumbling belly laughs as this one. Rogen plays Ben Stone, who, true to his last name, is a slacker who enjoys smoking reefer and hanging out with his equally unambitious roommates. One night at a trendy nightclub, he meets Alison (Katherine Heigl), who’s out celebrating the fact that she has just been promoted to an on-air position at E! Entertainment Television. One drink leads to another, and before morning arrives, the pair will have engaged in a one-night stand. At least that was the game plan; instead, Alison learns a few weeks later that she’s pregnant,

Two other Virgin players, Lesie Mann and Paul Rudd, are excellent as Alison’s perpetually combative sister and brother-inlaw, and their prominence on the scene offers Alison and Ben a firsthand look at how their lives might turn out if they elect to remain together. Alison insists she doesn’t want to end up as miserable as her older sister; this may be Apatow’s explanation as to why she falls for Ben so quickly, but it’s an argument that doesn’t hold up, since the writer-director fails to sufficiently flesh out their courting period

between that initial tryst and the birth of the child. Still, thanks to the sweet performances

by Heigl and especially Rogen, there’s still plenty of warmth to be drawn from the resultant drama. Yet in this picture, it’s comedy that’s king. Apatow’s script is crammed with sharp one-liners and clever incidents, and it’s astonishing to note how rarely they miss the mark. Apatow’s ability to wring laughs both large and small out of ordinary situations is enviable; just call him the Good Humor Man.

Mr. Brooks

1/2

Forget A Tale of Two Cities. What we have here is a tale of two halves, one superior, the other execrable. Assembling three actors whose careers have seen better decades -- Kevin Costner, William Hurt and Demi Moore -- director Bruce A. Evans has crafted an initially intriguing thriller about a beloved philanthropist (Costner) who occasionally moonlights as a serial killer whenever the voice inside his head (personified in the flesh

by Hurt) urges him to go hack somebody up. The detective (Moore) who’s been on his trail for years feels that she’s getting close to breaking the case, thanks to the presence of an eyewitness (Dane Cook) who might turn out to be as certifiable as Mr. Brooks himself.

The film’s first half is powerful stuff, thanks to the unique setup (presenting Mr. Brooks’ alter ego as a physical manifestation shouldn’t work, but it does), Evans’ moody direction and exquisitely matched performances by Costner and Hurt. It’s a shame, then, to see the second part go to hell, as the screenplay

by Evans and Raynold Gideon gets out of too many narrative jams by relying on whopping coincidences. .

Shrek the Third

Mike Myers may well be the star of the Shrek franchise, but he’s hardly the one whose character most vividly remains in the minds of moviegoers. For the 2001 original, Eddie Murphy earned the lion’s share of the positive notices for his vigorous vocal work as the obnoxious donkey sidekick (even if it was just a reworking of his vigorous vocal work as the obnoxious dragon sidekick in Mulan). And for the 2004 sequel, it was clearly Antonio Banderas as the debonair Puss In Boots who emerged as the cat’s meow. In Shrek the

Third, both the donkey and the kitty have largely been neutered, and the film’s makers didn’t bother to introduce any compelling new characters to pick up the slack (Justin Timberlake’s Arthur and Eric Idle’s Merlin certainly don’t cut it). The result is a step down from the first two flicks in the series, though the drop isn’t nearly as precipitous as its detractors will insist. Shrek (which somehow beat Monsters, Inc. for the first Best Animated Feature Oscar ever handed out) and Shrek 2 (which stands as the third all-time top moneymaker) were amusing enough, although the impersonal style of animation, rapid succession of instantly dated pop culture references and fondness for scatological humor always left me a little cold.

Shrek the Third brings the exact same ingredients to the table, only what’s offered feels more like leftovers.

Spider-Man 3

The appeal of Spider-Man has always reached far beyond the comic book crowd: He’s become an icon of enormous proportions, a larger-than-life figure who, in the superhero genre, is matched perhaps only by Superman and Batman. With this in mind, director Sam Raimi and his scripters have fashioned three Spider-Man flicks that have all managed to remain true to the spirit -- if not always the letter -- of the comic series.

None have reached the giddy heights of, say, 1978’s Superman or 2005’s Batman Begins, but they have all achieved what they set out to do: provide solid entertainment for the summer movie crowd. On the domestic front, Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) and Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst) find themselves struggling with relationship woes, while on the battlefields of NYC, Spider-Man must face off against the Sandman (Thomas Haden Church), Venom (Topher Grace), a resurgent Green Goblin (James Franco), and his own dark impulses.

With so many spandex hijinks going on, it’s a wonder that the movie isn’t wall to wall with pounding action. But with a generous running time of 140 minutes, Raimi is able to occasionally slow down the pace and allow more introspective moments to take center stage. w

| Free Will Astrology

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t take your time, Aries. Move double fast and strategize from many angles, always thinking ten steps ahead. Please don’t keep your hands clean, either. Play with the muck and roll in the mud and learn from the dirt. And don’t you dare be measured and balanced. Instead, be an intense and relentless initiator of decisive actions. One last thing: Don’t play nice and sweet. Be a holy troublemaker, a noisemaker who breaks the silence and keeps it broken.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In what areas of your life are you trying too hard? How might you be undoing your good intentions by grasping them so tightly that you’ve squeezed out all the juice? In what ways are you so boxed in by habitual thoughts that you’re not spontaneous any more? It’s a perfect moment to fix these problems, Taurus. To begin getting yourself in the mood, relax every muscle in your body -- especially your achy-breaky desire muscles -- and half-sing, halfshout an exuberant “YO!” GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your patron saint of the week is Beatrice Wood (1893-1998), whose association with surrealist artists and her bohemian life as a painter and actress earned her the title “The Mama of Dada.”

At the age of 92, she finished her autobiography, which was entitled *I Shock Myself.* Your first assignment, Gemini, is to do three things in the coming week about which you’ll be able to say, “I shock myself.” Your second assignment is to imagine that you’re 92 and looking back with pride at the top ten smart things you did to shock yourself into a heightened state of awareness in the years between now and then.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Any strength can turn into a liability if it’s taken too far. Any skill may lead you astray if expressing it becomes a compulsive habit that distracts you from responding authentically to the raw truth of the moment. That’s why every now and then I

by Rob Brezsny

have to advise you (and me, too, since I’m a Crab) not to nurture the hell out of everyone, even though it comes naturally to you. This is one of those times. Please suppress any urges you might have to take care of everyone except yourself. In the coming week, your duty is to be your own mommy and daddy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I have extensive experience with writing in the dark. Every night for many years I have awoken in pitch blackness to write down my dreams. I also take notes while watching movies in theaters, scrawl poems on redeye plane flights while all the other passengers are sleeping, and jot down my meditations as I stroll in the hills after midnight. I recommend that you try this yourself, Leo. It’s prime time to peer inward and think hard . . . to sharpen your perceptions of the invisible world . . . to gather impressions from the edgy frontier where your conscious and unconscious minds overlap.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Say the following words aloud, please: “Give it to me raw!” How does it make you feel when you allow that demand to come out of your mouth? I hope it fills you with a sense of playful power. If you’re in alignment with cosmic influences, “Give it to me raw!” is a pithy embodiment of your proper relationship with the world. Now try these corollary statements: “I want the full blast of purity! Don’t hold anything back! Serve me up the maximum dose! I want the elixir of life, not the hors d’oeuvres! Bless me with the whole truth and nothing but! I’m in love with the flood, not the trickle!”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): My archaeologist buddy Frank is of course a devotee of the theory of evolution, but he likes to have fun being blasphemous about some of its conclusions. Recently he told me, for instance, that all the ancient bones that have ever been found and used to deduce the course of human evolution, from homo habilis to homo sapiens, would fit in the back of a

pick-up truck. “Pretty slim evidence for ideas that purport to explain millions of years of history, eh?” he said mischievously. Can you identify a comparable situation in your life, Libra? Is there a fundamental assumption you’re loyal to even though the data that prove it are scanty? This is a good time to gather more information and re-evaluate your assumptions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): America’s former Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky addressed an assembly at my daughter’s high school. He read from his translation of Dante’s *Inferno* and took questions from students.

After hearing Dante’s description of the nether regions, one boy asked Pinsky what his personal version of hell was. The poet said that each of us creates our own hell.

The fearful and negative interpretations of reality with which we infect our imaginations constitute curses that we cast on ourselves. They terrify and enslave us so thoroughly that most of the difficult outer circumstances we encounter are mild in comparison. Your next assignment, Scorpio, is to work on dissolving the hell you carry around in your own mind.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There used to be a store outside of Boston called Venus Envy. It sold sexy religious supplies and holy sex toys. I wish there was a place like that near you, because you’re in a phase that’s ideal for learning more about erotic spirituality.

In lieu of that, here are other ways you could milk the opportunities. (1) Read the autobiography of St. Teresa of Avila, in which she gives vivid accounts of her ecstatic communion with divine beings. (2) Invoke the wild intelligence that rises up in you when you’re infatuated with a romantic partner, then redirect that feeling toward the entire world. (3) Pray while you’re making love and make love while you pray.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Women are much more willing to talk about both their disasters and delights than men,” says poet and workshop leader

Robert Bly. I hope that you men refute his assertion in the coming week, because it’ll be a favorable time for Capricorns of all genders to spend quality time testifying and singing and wondering about the most vivid experiences from your past. You’re liable to attract a variety of blessings if you come to new understandings about your disasters and delights. The best way to do that is to revisit them and revision them with fresh language.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Are we being sentimentally unscientific when we refer to the heart as the seat of the soul? Or does that idea contain a truth that surpasses reductive rationalism? In *A Dictionary of Symbols,* J.E. Cirlot reports that in the Jewish tradition, meditation involves “speaking to one’s heart.” According to Christian tradition, the Kingdom of God resides in the heart. Hindus say the supreme god Brahma lives there, and in Islam, the heart is referred to as the throne of God. If you can get your modern prejudices out of the way, Aquarius, your next assignment is to have a sustained, intimate, heart-to-heart communion with your heart. Learn more about its secret thoughts.

Converse with it as if it were the literal source of your emotional intelligence. Proceed on the hypothesis, as French philosopher Pascal did, that “great thoughts come from the heart.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Dear Rob: I appreciate your help in cueing us in to the mysterious workings of our unconscious minds. I describe what you do not so much as reading the planets to predict our future. Rather, you conspire with us to expose and then overcome what we’re hiding or repressing or fearing. It’s often a daunting task, but I love it! -Ever-Braver Pisces.”

Dear Ever-Braver: I believe the upcoming weeks will be a Golden Age in your tribe’s efforts to expose and then overcome what you’re hiding or repressing or fearing.

I expect that you’ll break up the artificial dam that has been clogging up your imaginative flow, thereby unleashing a flood of creativity. w
