CBB3@ >/:3<3AA HONESTLY, did you not notice that practically every photo (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Faces of Santa Cruz,â&#x20AC;? Cover Story, April 29) was that of a white person? I was saddened that page after page highlighted one white person after another. For those who read this and may either be (1) annoyed by this observation or (2) running back to re-look at the pages to confirm this fact, please understand that the media influences so much of our reality. If one were to use this publication as a reflection of our society then it would look like people of color played little or no role in the make-up and leadership of this county (after all, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Metro Santa Cruz a countywide publication or only a city publication?). The point is simple. For all you you white people who have put â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes we Canâ&#x20AC;? Obama stickers on your cars, please remember, we notice when you neglect us. Honestly, the only good thing that came out of this issue was an example of neglect that I was able to use as a teaching took to my 10-year-old daughter about how media makes us, people of non-white descent, invisible.

Yep, you did it again.

BG>71/: ;/:3<3AA THE PHOTOS of well-known Santa Cruz people are a nice feature, but as usual there are 37 men and only 21 women. Couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you have featured at least as many fabulous Santa Cruz women?

It is discouraging that here in our usually very liberated community, our local media still fall into the old ways of unconsciously (we hope) reflecting a manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world.

and are agents of profound change. We humans behave just like all life forms. We are consuming all the available energy and matter on this planet in order to have the ability to reproduce ourselves and to fulfill our biological needs and human desires. We have an economic system that follows this biological imperative. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called consumerism.

We are urged by the financial industry and the Holy Economy to be consumers. Presently we are trapped into â&#x20AC;&#x153;restoring a healthy economy and making the economy growâ&#x20AC;? by enabling people to go into debt and buy more stuff. This trap forces us to continue to plunder the planet that is running out of oil, water and other resources.

This worldwide consumerist economy (a.k.a. capitalism) did give a lot of people very affluent life styles for a while, but it has never assured to every child on this planet the opportunity to have the resources and social care needed in order to achieve a healthy adulthood. Nor does the worldwide economy prevent millions of people lacking enough food, shelter, health care and education to lead a decent life. Millions of poor people. Who knows, perhaps a billion of the more than six billion humans living on this planet today are living very difficult if not miserable lives.

Can we change and create a sustainable and steady state economy that puts humanity in balance with the limited resources on our planetary home? We are within nature, part of nature, not apart from nature. We have obeyed the biological imperative to be fruitful and multiply, but another part of our biological human nature is the cultural ability to think about what we are doing and to choose to try and do them differently. >/B@717/ @/G<3 Aptos

Battling Belief Systems 0G 4@32 933:3G

HAT IS the May 19 Special Election really all about? Power.

While television ads would lead a person to believe that the election is about ratifying a $40 billion solution to Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget problems, it is not that simple. The actual battle is between two irreconcilable belief systems concerning the roles and functions of state government: Republican and Democratic.

The Democratic belief system holds that state government exists to have robust programs of public education, health and human services and corrections so that virtually everyone, regardless of where they start in life, will have a chance (or even a second or third chance) to succeed.

The Republican belief system tells us that state government is mostly an assemblage of social experiments that, on the whole, diverts funds from the private sector, which is much better at providing real, marketresponsive opportunities for motivated people. Republicans believe, for example, that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;government schoolsâ&#x20AC;? are the hostages of teachers unions, and that throwing more money at the problem is wasteful.

In the venue of the California Legislature, these two belief systems battle day and night, and never more so than during the deliberations and maneuvering that lead to the adoption of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual budget.

The core reason that Republicans are in an uproar over the fragile budget deal reached in February is that they were on the verge of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to dramatically change the architecture of California government. If the budget battles had gone on for a mere two or three more weeks, the State of California would have run out of cash, and the only solution, according to Republican legislators, would have been to re-engineer California government. That reengineering would have included at least major restructuring of public educationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;think school vouchers, which leave public schools with the responsibility to educate special needs students and few funds with which to do itâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and corrections/prisons (think here of the Corrections Corporation of America).

These are but two examples of how Republican legislators see a better future, one where private-sector principles of management and competition are applied to public sector functions. This is, essentially, a dismantling of California government as we have come to know it.

The May 19 Special Election will result in the failure of all measures except for the last measure on the ballot, which prohibits legislators from receiving a salary increase in years where the budget is in deficit.

When those measures fail, Republican legislators will once again have the chance to re-engineer Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state government. Democrats will either have to offer real reform of the governance process or face the real possibility that a minority within a minority party will prevail.

The group California Forward is working on nonpartisan budget reforms to assist in solving this dilemma. The reforms would include two-year budgeting, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;lock boxâ&#x20AC;? for revenue surpluses and a change in the vote threshold for approving the budget. We must on May 20 be prepared to advance a comprehensive package of governance reforms that will provide modern tools for governance in the 21st century.

FRED KEELEY is the elected treasurer of Santa Cruz County; an appointee of the state Senate to the Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Commission on the 21st Century Economy; a member of the board of directors of California Forward; and a former state assemblymember representing the Monterey Bay area.

3@=27<5 1=<4723<13 The ecology of Elkhorn Slough has changed dramatically in the last half-century, partly due to the Army Corpsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; removal of a sandbar at the mouth of the Moss Landing harbor.

wave action; the mud that layered the slough and provided habitat for vast beds of shellfish was drawn out to sea, and the average slough depth increased from roughly 10 feet to as much as 25 feet today. As water volume within the slough grew, the tidal currents became increasingly powerful, which quickened erosion, which further greatened the water capacity. A positive feedback system has developed that some say threatens to clear out the slough entirely.

Aaron Carlisle, a researcher with Hopkins Marine Station, worries that Elkhorn Slough could lose much of its biodiversity if preventative and restorative action is not taken. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If erosion isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t controlled, the slough is going to become just a coastal bay environment with nothing estuarine about it,â&#x20AC;? Carlisle says.

Carlisle conducted a tag-and-track study of Elkhorn Slough leopard sharks between 2003 and 2005, when he was a graduate student at Moss Landing Marine Lab. He found that the 3-to-5-foot sharks strongly favor the lower intertidal mud

flats over any other part of the nearby marine environment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But eventually, all that habitat will disappear at the rate things are going,â&#x20AC;? he warns.

The solution that he, Largay and others have discussed could be to block the erosive energy of the ocean with a subsurface rock pileâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;at the mouth of either Elkhorn Slough or Parsons Slough, an important subregion within the main bay. Additionally, the researchers have discussed rebuilding the mud bottom by dumping in fine-grained slurry from local dredging operations or quarries.

But another shark researcher thinks those measures are unnecessary. Sean Van Sommeran of the Pelagic Shark Research Foundation believes that leopard shark and bat ray numbers have increased in Elkhorn Slough partly due to the availability of new habitat in Parsons Slough, where previously the mud flats lay high and dry most of the time but subsided during the mid-1900s to below sea level. Van Sommeran has also observed an increase in marine mammals 3

HE WETLAND system of Elkhorn Slough has undergone dramatic change for decades, but now a group of local scientists and conservationists is revving up a restoration project aimed at reversing many of these alterations and letting one of Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest marshlands revert back to the ecosystem it once was. However, no one quite knows what Elkhorn Sloughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truly â&#x20AC;&#x153;naturalâ&#x20AC;? state ever really was, and activists are at

odds over precisely what treatments the slough really needs, if any at all.

In 1947, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dredged out a large sandy berm to improve access to Moss Landing Harbor. The bermâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;basically a large sandbarâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;occupied what is today the sloughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mouth, explains hydrologist Bryan Largay, director of the Elkhorn Slough Tidal Wetland Project. Once it became exposed to the forces of the ocean, the slough was cleaned out by

ELKHORN 1 ' within Elkhorn Slough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To me, increased numbers of sharks and rays is good news,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Increased numbers of sea otters and seals is good news.â&#x20AC;?

Yet there is no question that the shallow muddy bottom of Elkhorn Slough that once supported abundant beds of clams

and other shellfish is long goneâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or that bringing back this ecosystem would require restoring the mud bottom to the slough and protecting it from the surging energy of the open ocean.

Largay says that restorative measures in Parsons Slough could serve as a pilot project and might be applied later to the entire estuary if it indeed

proves successful and beneficial to habitat and wildlife. The restoration project is a public process, and the first meeting was held in December. The next public outreach event, a guided group hike to Parsons Slough followed by a lecture, takes place June 17. Updates and information can be found at www.elkhornslough.org.

HEY SAY money talks. If so, the five $100 checks that have bounced around Santa Cruz County over the last month as part of a community commerce experiment by Think Local First should have a lot to say.

The goal was to turn $500 into $15,000 in local commerce in 30 days. The method was for five local banks to donate $100 apiece to five lucky raffle ticket winners, then for the recipient of each check to spend it at one of TLFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 150 member businesses, each of which would, in turn, repeat the process.

In theory, by keeping the money within the community, each $100 check would be spent dozens of times, thus producing thousands of dollars in revenue for goods and services along the way.

Patty Zoccoli of Zoccoliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Delicatessen on Pacific Avenue ended up with a TLF check on the final day of the campaign. Originally donated by Monterey Credit Union and signed 12 times before it came her way, the check will accompany Zoccoli to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;wrap-up celebrationâ&#x20AC;? at

Lighthouse Bank on May 6, where it will finally be exchanged for a crisp Benjamin. Though the final tally for commerce produced by the five checks looks to be about half of the $15,000 mark, Zoccoli says the experiment has proven the importance of local residents supporting local businesses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really interesting to see how much commerce is generated when people keep their money local,â&#x20AC;? says Zoccoli. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Santa Cruz is a tight-knit community and people are very conscious about where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re spending their money.â&#x20AC;?

Lighthouse Bank president Rick Hofstetter and another Lighthouse employee originally dreamed up the idea for the campaign.

Hofstetter says the process has demonstrated the value of reinvesting in the community. He also says, however, that Santa Cruz preaches local commerce much more than it practices it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think if you ask 100 people on the street if they understand the importance of supporting local business, 90 of them will say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;yes,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily translate into their purchasing habits. 3 !

The Watsonville 10 0G 83AA71/ :CAA3<6=>

A

T LAST weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Watsonville City Council meeting, normally soft-spoken City Manager Carlos Palacios experienced what seemed to be a momentary break in his customary cool when Councilmember Manuel Bersamin blurted out that Palacios had just taken a pay cut. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have accepted a 10 percent pay reduction,â&#x20AC;? explained Palacios, his voice tightening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The city is in a very, very serious financial situation. In the last 20 years Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked on budgets, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been in a situation like this.â&#x20AC;?

Had Palacios left things there, his statement would have stood as a strenuous enough declaration of trouble. But he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finished. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a terrible, terrible situation. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think people will understand the magnitude of the layoffs,â&#x20AC;? he went on urgently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried to impress this on the city employees, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think they understand.â&#x20AC;?

If the remarks seemed to indicate things are getting tense behind

closed doors at Civic Plaza, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because they are, according to City Administrative Services Chief Marc Pimentel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The stress that Carlos has, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all sharing,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting very, very, very tight. We acknowledge that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have some magnitude of layoffs. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting into a really tight time frame. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole lot of stress going on.â&#x20AC;?

Layoffs, once called a possibility, are now a certainty. And they will come on top of a 10 percent cut like the one Palacios took for every city employee. And though Pimentel says talks with the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eight bargaining units over how exactly that 10 percent will be configuredâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;through salary cuts, furloughs or benefits reductionsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;are by no means at a standstill, the May 19 deadline to hand off the budget to the council is on the horizon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things are progressing OK. We wish they were faster,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Though the city enacted a two-week employee furlough in late 2008 to try

to salvage some extra cash, Pimentel says Watsonvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s projected $3.7 million deficit has leapt to $4.5 million as both property and sales taxes have lagged. The difficulty of getting the budget in on schedule, coupled with the stress of imagining a city with significantly pareddown services, has also led to a feeling of nervous tension floating through the halls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been a very cash-strapped city, so to live in an environment where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already going to have reduced support.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to imagine,â&#x20AC;? says Pimentel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the scariest part.â&#x20AC;?

He says until the deadline hits, city staff will be working seven days a week to try to ensure no bargaining unit is blindsided when the final layoffs and cuts are made public May 26. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have two kids, two beautiful girls, they are leaving messages on my phone at 6:30 saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dad, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting hungry, where are you?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real tough.â&#x20AC;?

Hard Play at Pinto Lake

H

OLE FOUR at Pinto Lake is an insidious little three-par. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only 210 feet, but the basket is tucked in a thicket, down a trail and slightly up a little hill. The only way to get there is to throw a big hook, way up and out about 180 feet, and drop in from the right. Too short and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the thicket. Too long and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the woods. A good throw and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an easy birdie.

It was my first visit to the new disc golf course, which was designed by Tom Schot, who built the legendary DeLaveaga. There was a mist falling but I was sweating. I felt tenseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;almost scared. Golf can be a weirdly aggravating sport, whether one plays it with a tiny ball or a modified Frisbee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A good walk ruined,â&#x20AC;? as Mark Twain said.

I was one over par. Holes One and Two were huge

(469 feet and 543 feet) but straightforward four-pars, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d played them adequately. Three was shorter, a needle-threader of a three-par, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d botched a long uphill putt after a weak approach. For some reason I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get, it felt important that I par this course. That would require a birdie.

I made a good throw. I knew it when it left my hand.

The red Shark threw off a fine spray as it flew, then hooked around the big oak, dropped, and landed 10 feet from the basket.

Feeling cocky, I ran from the tee box to the disc, scooped it up and in one easy motion blew the putt.

In that moment I felt all my ambition and selfconfidence draining out through my soggy feet into the mud. But I pushed on.

Five follows a wide uphill trail that skirts a little arm of

the lake. I played it carefully, joylessly, barely hearing the squawking shorebirds. Par. Fine.

Farther up the trail, standing at the Hole Six tee box, I found myself looking out at a big meadow.

The basket stood out at the tip of a small peninsula.

From this spot, Pinto Lake is quite lovely. I suddenly felt good and decided to really play.

I hucked a perfectly good drive and followed it out into the meadow. Standing above the lake, stretching my arms into the sky, I saw a heron f loating above. I heard mariachi music in the distance, a tuba pulsing on the breeze. I turned, squared off, dropped the 70-foot putt, and let out a shout. I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made that sound in a while.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a weird game. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough course. But fun. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Eric Johnson

In the Pink Robert Steffen on why he shed his familiar pastel get-upâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and why he feels better than he has in years 0G 83AA71/ :CAA3<6=>

A

LL HEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S got left are the shoes.

Light gray running shoes with bright pink plastic flowers stuck on themâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;unmistakably the Umbrella Manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, and now the only thing that sets Robert Steffen apart from the shoppers on the Pacific Garden mall.

These days the man wearing them is dressed mostly in beige and walks at a normal pace. Something else is different about him: Steffen is talking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel as frivolous as I prefer to be,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to worry about where

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to sleep at night and where my clothes are.â&#x20AC;?

Most days, Steffen is still on the mall, though heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no longer on parade. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sometimes seated quietly on the benches, his bucket hat pulled low, his eyes pale and distant behind his glasses. Though he says he feels more stable than he has in years, his voice is at times uncertain and small. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m fine at the moment at the shelter. It just weighs more on me. Some of the clients have a problem with the way I dress, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need more abuse,â&#x20AC;?

he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another reason not to dress up.â&#x20AC;?

For the last two months, ever since being evicted from his apartment in the El Palomar Inn, Steffen has been sleeping at the River Street homeless shelter. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the latest stop on a journey that began in 1996, when Steffen cut off ties to his family and slowly dropped further and further away from his very typical life as a computer engineer. The first time he stepped out of the El Palomar in his pink outfitâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in items culled mostly from eBayâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;he was already well into what would turn out to be an unofficial 13year vow of silence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was unhappy,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been fighting depression for a number of years.â&#x20AC;?

Through the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s, Steffen said he bounced from city to city, slowly descending the career food chain, from engineer to movie theater manager to waiter and finally nothing. When cops picked him up in 1999 for living illegally in an RV in the hills, he found himself homeless in downtown Santa Cruz after a stay at the Ocean Street jail.

After a year and a half, Steffen was

finally ready when the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Homeless Persons Health Project offered to help him get off the streets. He got his apartment at El Palomar in 2001. A year or two later, he began his four-year-long daily promenade in pink (â&#x20AC;&#x153;it seemed like a good color,â&#x20AC;? he explains). As for the walk itself, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a form of artistic expression.

Walking on the mall was useful.â&#x20AC;?

Not everyone welcomed the Umbrella Man. Rumors swirled that he was really a convicted pedophile, though police spokesman Zach Friend says he has no records indicating that. The Meganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Law website does list a Robert Steffen, a heavily tattooed, Hulk Hoganâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; mustachioed man living in Placer County.

And then, about a year ago, Umbrella Man disappeared. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure why I stopped. There had been, on the mall, quite a few people being mean, and that gets wearing after a while,â&#x20AC;? Steffen says.

His reappearance this spring was a direct result of his eviction from El Palomar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, we had to evict him. He was not paying rent,â&#x20AC;? says assistant manager Fred Erd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tried to be very, very tolerant.â&#x20AC;?

Steffen says he reappeared as the Umbrella Man outside the Palomar originally as a form of protest, but that it had unexpected results. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I showed back up I got a lot of positive feedback from people. They were happy to see me,â&#x20AC;? he says, his face flushing red and his speech faltering again. When asked if he knows why heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crying, he shakes his head. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the reason. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say.â&#x20AC;?

In the past few weeks, Steffen finally decided to reconnect with his elderly mother and siblings. They came to visit him last week. The week before that he got a cell phone and an email account. He went to the dentist for the first time in years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m beginning to feel more optimistic,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My general feeling toward society in general is working, is doing a reasonable job. I have a little bit of faith.â&#x20AC;?

For now, he has stopped protesting outside the Palomar, though he is struggling to find a new apartment. He hopes eventually to find a job, something where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get to meet some nice people.

As for Umbrella Man, Steffen shrugs shyly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I dunno. I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind doing it. I enjoy it. I doubt that I would do it so persistently, maybe every once in a while just for fun,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just feeling more stable.â&#x20AC;? Ă

â&#x20AC;&#x2122;M STILL not quite sure if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a comedy or a drama, but one of the highlights of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Santa Cruz Film Fest is former Santa Cruzan Mo Perkinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; A Quiet Little Marriage.

The Grand Jury Award winner at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Slamdance concerns an appropriately

0G @716/@2 D=< 0CA/19

thorny topic: the question of whether or not a couple ought to bring another baby into the world, with all the things he or she will need for the nonnegotiable American way of life.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as deft as it is endearingly small-scale, made on the Echo Park, Los Angeles, street where the director lives, with the front and

the back of her apartment playing two different buildings. A Quiet Little Marriage intelligently tells its fablelike yet fierce story in a handful of settings and with a cafestyle soundtrack mostly of guitar and accordion, as well as the old blues tune â&#x20AC;&#x153;Careless Love.â&#x20AC;? ¨

At a dinner party, Monique (Melanie Lynskey) is getting a rare night away from her baby, but the topic turns around to the sacrifices of motherhood.

Bad enough to turn up at a fancy dinner leaking breast milk on your blouse.

Worse not to have a drink for the first nine months. Worst of all not to have a drink for an entire year of breastfeeding.

That night, hosts Dax (Cy Carter), a red-bearded elementary schoolteacher, and Olive (Mary Elizabeth Ellis), the manager of a failing boutique, have a bedtime discussion. The question is whether or not theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to start

a family. Dax thought the matter was settledâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in the sense that absolutely no way in the world was it going to happen.

Olive still thought the possibility was open.

Perkins unfolds the backstories of Dax and Olive. Olive has a father who is losing more and more of himself every day to Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Daxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s messed-up little brother Jackson (Jimmi Simpson) has an unwise scheme to marry his latest girlfriend.

BABY DRAMA

§

Jackson refers to their mother as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a whore.â&#x20AC;? And Dax doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even bother contradicting his brother.

One boozy night after a party, Olive decides to take matters into her own hands by puncturing her diaphragm with a sterilized safety pin. The sex between the couple becomes more frequent and more ardent. But when Dax discovers Oliveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secret plan to get pregnant, he takes retaliation on his own.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;There wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a whole lot of things happening on campus for film. It was just starting to happen. You could keep the camera over the weekend and make something.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; When I called Mo Perkins, the first thing I wanted to ask is if she ever knew anyone who actually sabotaged a diaphragm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I did, could I tell you?â&#x20AC;? she answered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were poking holes in diaphragms because we had to show different stages of leakage on the camera, but when we got ready to shoot those scenes, we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get them to leak!

I imagine it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be effective for contraception afterward, but the holes kept closing after we punctured them.

Eventually we went to a hole punch.â&#x20AC;?

Perkins most likely wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be on her way to Santa Cruz for the fest, as sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s due for the birth of her first child in June. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look like a Care Bear now,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m waddling when I walk. I stood up for the Q and A the other day at the Newport Beach Film Festival and people went, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ohhh.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; My pregnancy really has nothing to do with the film, thoughâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I was in my first trimester when A Quiet Little Marriage went to Slamdance and

Austin, and I was throwing up right in between the Q and As.â&#x20AC;?

Santa Cruz Roots When Perkins was going to Santa Cruz as a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studies/film major about a decade ago, the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s film department had just formed. She caught foreign and independent films at the Nick (â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope it still smells like gingerbread in there,â&#x20AC;? she says). â&#x20AC;&#x153;There wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a whole lot of things happening on campus for film. It was just starting to happen. We had a lot of access to the equipment. Kind of a guerrilla education. You could keep the camera over the weekend and make something.â&#x20AC;?

After graduating, Perkins moved to San Francisco and worked with the Bay Area Video Coalition, a nonprofit outlet with production and post-production facilities. From there she went to UCLA grad school, where she reconnected with her old friend Tamara May Malone, a former Slug whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d also gone on to film school in L.A. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bonds you make with people are fuel for your art later on,â&#x20AC;? Perkins says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At UCSC, I was literally hanging out with Tamara before we were legally old enough to drink.â&#x20AC;? As her grad thesis at UCLA, Perkins made a 2004 short film titled Piss Hat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a porno,â&#x20AC;? Perkins explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the story of a woman who has low self-esteem and a reputation as an easy get in a small town.â&#x20AC;? The stars were Carter and Ellis, later reunited as actors and co-writers in Perkinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; feature debut. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would rehearse the scenes and then rewrote after the rehearsal,â&#x20AC;? she recalls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a really rich experience for all three of us. We all had a script we were proud of after a year; we enlisted everyone we knew, and we gathered a strong cast. Then we shot the thing in this guyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apartment during the course of 14 days.â&#x20AC;?

Lynskey and Simpson were something of a package deal for Perkins, since theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re married. Among even the commandolike team of farceurs on TVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Two and a Half Menâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;oh, Conchata Ferrell, surely the illegitimate granddaughter of W. C. Fields; hurray Holland Taylor, heiress to the grand dames of screwballâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Lynskeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demurely insane stalker Rose holds her own with ease. From New Zealand originally, Lynskey is never to be forgotten as one of the two self-hypnotized teens in Peter Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Heavenly Creatures, recently parodied on The Simpsons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is so strong,â&#x20AC;? Perkins says. ¨

BABY DRAMA

§ #

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Melanieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a vehicle coming up thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to blow peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heads off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Fertile Ground Working with Carter and Ellis, Perkins decided â&#x20AC;&#x153;that we three would make something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small enough so that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll work . . . even if no one makes a quarter out of it. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d all just been newly married. We were all fans of John Cassavetes and Mike Leigh.

And we all had a common subject, an interest in marriage. Movies usually end with marriage or start with a baby; we wanted to make a different story when we started out to write.â&#x20AC;?

There are hundreds of movies about the decision to have a baby, with Knocked Up and Baby Mama newest among them. However, there is only one High Hopes. In Mike Leighâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1988 picture, Cyril (Philip Davis), a motorcycle messenger, and his spunky, sweet live-in Shirley (Ruth Sheen) are eking out a living in north London. And sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting to think about the next generation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Would you rather have a boy or a girl?â&#x20AC;? Shirley asks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather have a rusty spike up me arse,â&#x20AC;? Cyril says.

They both tend to Cyrilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motherâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a doddering old lady who is being ground up by gentrificationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;just as Dax and Olive see to Oliveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, the ever more troublesomely senile Bruce (Michael Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill). Like Leigh, Perkins gives full weight to the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fear about having children rather than presenting that reluctance as immaturity or a weakness.

Daringly, she even allows that perhaps Oliveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motives for wanting to get pregnant arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as clear as the lady thinks.

Perkins says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those kinds of relationship are rich for drama; . . . there are all those places where solution canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be found in communication, and all those intimate spots where you just disagree . . . whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over a kid or what to do with a dad.â&#x20AC;?

As in Leighâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s films, Perkins has achieved a great deal of onscreen intimacy in directing the couple. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of that was just kind of my own relationships, of thinking over on the day-to-day level what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to lay in bed with someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;maybe thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nudity in a way thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not necessarily erotic. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re with someone itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a ballet, not a conversation. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re moving in sync.â&#x20AC;?

After finishing A Quiet Little Marriage, Perkins took the gamble and sent it off to the Austin film festival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I sent it there because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d always wanted to go to Austinâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I was totally motivated

by thatâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and I had to rush and get the film done. Everyone told me that once you premiere at a big festival, none of the others will have you, but I gambled and sent $50 to Slamdance and I got in there, too. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a real whirlwind.â&#x20AC;?

Full Circle A Quiet Little Marriageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s producer, Tamara (accent on the middle a) May Malone, describes the film as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a really personal journey for a couple. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about the evolution they take as a couple in thinking of each other, instead of themselves. They start to understand each other and communicate, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not all about compromises.â&#x20AC;?

Having taken her first film class with UCSCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chip Lord, Malone is going back up to Santa Cruz to talk to his class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m coming full circle,â&#x20AC;? she says.

I asked Malone how one learns the craft of producer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My job was getting the awareness out there about Moâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talent. The best way to become a producer is to learn how to tell stories. That way you can help keep the director from falling by the wayside, by identifying a scene that needs to be cut, or to problem-solve a scene that needs work.â&#x20AC;?

While Malone wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t discuss how much the film costâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would qualify for the John Cassavetes Spirit award, I can tell you thatâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;A Quiet Little Marriage is on its way to a distributor.

Working on indie film is still a labor of love for Malone, who is currently tracking down work in reality television in Los Angeles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m torn between the world of making a living and doing these little films that are just passions,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was at a film festival recently, and the audience members were asking me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Is this your job?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; At this level weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to make it our job by working on these passion projects, in the wee hours of the night.â&#x20AC;?

AD IT been released just a year or two earlier, Gospel Hill would have seemed like a very naive film about race. Its message of courage and redemption in the American South, leavened with just enough moral ambiguity to satisfy 21stcentury worldliness, might have read like so much wishful thinking. But one of the dividends of electing Barack Obama to the presidency is a reformed national self-image. Whatever our past, it says, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re capable of doing the right thing from now on. Contemplating better race relations now falls into the category of planning, not fantasizing.

Actor Giancarlo Espositoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s directorial debut is set in a small South Carolina

town where the trucks are old, the cicadas are loud and everyone knows everyone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business. On the surface, black and white get along peaceably enoughâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;hip-hop and country tunes alternate at the local watering hole, and denizens of the youngest generation cross the racial divide for the noble purpose of tormenting a mixed-race student.

But the town of Julia has a past. Forty years ago, a charismatic preacher and civil rights activist named Paul Malcolm (Samuel Jackson) was shot dead in broad daylight in the presence of witnesses.

The ambitious Sheriff Jack Herrod (Tom Bower) claimed to be unable to solve the mystery. A generation later, the ¨

survivors still suffer from the fallout.

Malcolmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son John (Danny Glover), once an activist, is now resigned to the way things are. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cynical when his spirited wife, Sarah (Angela Bassett), takes on a corporation intent on turning the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic but ramshackle black neighborhood, Gospel Hill, into a golf course. An ember from the old fire glows for a moment when John visits physician Ron Palmer (Esposito) at the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s black clinic to suss out the good doctor, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in cahoots with the white executives, but John seems unable to act.

Meanwhile, Herrodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer son Carl (Adam Baldwin) drives to the other side of town to spend steamy afternoons with Dr. Palmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife (Nia Long) but otherwise has little purpose. The sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sensitive younger son Joel (Taylor Kitsch) struggles with his new landscaping business and courts the pretty new liberal-minded schoolteacher Rosie (Julia Stiles).

Some stilted dialogue early on delays things, but Gospel Hill does hit its stride, aided in part by some refreshingly complex characters. Apart from the martyr Paul and his daughter-in-law Sarah, no one is wholly saint or sinner.

John Malcolm is cowardly, Jack Herrod has a decent streak, the idealistic young

teacher is sanctimonious, the dissolute lawyer finds his moral compass. The angry young black man who spends lonely evenings fondling his firearms has a reason for being so out of sorts: heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just back from a tour of duty in Iraq and is missing half a leg. If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a message to Gospel Hill, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that life writes no one a free ticket. Any of us could find ourselves in any characterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s positionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and when, at the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quiet climax, the old racist sheriff gets over himself and shows kindness where he would normally show contemptâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;we realize that is good news.

The original DVD for Little Shop of Horrors, which finally made available over 20 minutes of footage that had made up the original ending, was recalled, catapulting it into legend as the second-most collectible DVD in history (after Criterionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recalled edition of Pasoliniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Salo).

When he learned Oz had put it on the DVD, he ordered it recalled. It was going on eBay for somewhere around $300. In an unrelated story, the thing that creeps me out about this movie is that I truly believe

Just when we were beginning to think Tarantino rip-offs had reached their expiration date, writerdirector Guy Ritchieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breakthrough Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels came along and proved they could still have juice. What made that film great was not so much the done-todeath quirky-criminal elements, but rather the strong characters and incredibly funny

writing. Ritchie must have realized this, because he finally moved out of Q.T.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shadow by nailing his own style with the far more inventive Snatch two years later. There is, however, a nice spoof of Reservoir Dogs at the beginning (this time the thieves are discussing the Virgin Mary, get it?)

A Dominican baseball star is recruited to play in the minor leagues in Iowa on his way to fulfilling his dreams of a pro career. Sort of like how real baseball works, without the steroids. (Opens Fri at the Nick.) (SP)

@3D73EA /2D3<BC@3:/<2

(R; 106 min.) The intelligence and malaise level in Adventureland are fairly high considering that the film is, deep in its bones, a barf, boner and bong teen comedy. The action is set in the summer of 1987. James (Jesse Eisenberg) is a Holden Caulfieldish privileged student expecting the European tour after graduating high school, but his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money has run out, and James will have to land a job somewhere to pay for tuition to Columbia. At the amusement park called Adventureland he meets Em (Kristen Stewart), a sharp but quiet girl heading to NYU, and Joel (Martin Starr), a povertystricken intellectual. Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig play the couple running the amusement park.

(RvB) 3/@B6 (G; 90 min.)

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Earth, we just live here. James Earl Jones rumbles on the soundtrack as the sunrise is viewed from outer space. Holding the series of critter encounters together is the plight of a polar bear familyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dad,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Momâ&#x20AC;? and two cubs, an heir and a spareâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; during the course of a year. The stunning small effects make more of an impression.

Remarkable time-lapse photography pans gently across a valley while observing the yearly change of a forest of deciduous trees from bare branches to scarlet leaves. Otherwise, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the usual: shark vs. seal, polar bear vs. walrus, lions vs. elephant, and cheetah vs. gazelle.

To the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credit, Disney bites the bullet: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The planet is warming,â&#x20AC;? Jones says, leaving no room for backpedaling. Very, very cute, and the ending is somehow happy and comforting, just like the critter shows one drowses through at the end of a beery Sunday.

131 min.) Maria Heiskanen plays a working-class Finnish mother living in Sweden in the first 20 years of the last century. She settles down with the brutish Sigfrid, called Siggi (Mikael Persbrandt), but is touched by the attentions of Pedersen (Jesper Christensen), who owns a camera store. Director Jan Troell has a great gift with this period, as he showed in The Emigrants (1971) and The New Land (1972). It took skill not to make this story a temperance melodrama. (RvB) 4756B7<5 (PG-13;

105 min.) In the future, all movies will have generic titles that describe their ingredients. Citizen Kane will be renamed Monopolizing. The Big Lebowski will be renamed Arguing. Last Tango in Paris will be called Fucking. So this action f lick starring Terrence Howard and Channing Tatum about the world of underground street fighting is way ahead of the curve.

(PG-13; 100 min.)

Matthew McConaughey is a bachelor literally haunted by his past relationships. Sounds scary, I know, but it could be worse. I heard this was originally going to be called The Ghosts of Shitty Movies Past, and have Matthew McConaughey being forced to watch all the crap films like Sahara, Failure to Launch and Two for the Money that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inf licted on the rest of us.

min.) This movie is

about a young superstar who has trouble coping with the meteoric fame of her character Hannah Montana.

So I was thinking it must be a narcissistic vanity project for Miley Cyrusâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you know, â&#x20AC;&#x153;waah, my life as a spoiled child millionaire is so hard.â&#x20AC;? Turns out Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m completely wrong!

The character she plays in the movie is named â&#x20AC;&#x153;Miley Stewart.â&#x20AC;? Totally different. Wow, do I feel like a Judgy Judy or what? (SP) 7 :=D3 G=C ;/<

(R; 112 min.) Nebbishy L.A. Realtor Peter (Paul Rudd) is going to get married. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a best man for his wedding, since heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been a man who preferred womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company. After a series of failed â&#x20AC;&#x153;man-dates,â&#x20AC;? he finds his perfect buddy, an overgrown boy of an investor named Sydney ( Jason Segel, of Forgetting Sarah Marshall), but the friendship becomes obsessive to the point where Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiancee, Zooey (Rashida Jones), has enough. Ruddâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charmingly out-of-it qualities are at their best in a scene where he tries to play 007 during a tuxedo fitting. Just like jerks in real life, Sydney is refreshing in tiny doses, and Rob Huebel and Jon Favreau are good playing different varieties of bastards, covert and overt, respectively. And yet in some ways, the film gave me the creeps worse than any Frat Packer yet; was it director John Hamburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beige, deracinated L.A., with its exotic excursion to Chinatown? Was it the supposedly hilarious repeated bit about Sydney refusing to curb his dog, so that everyone has to step in it? Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the way this and the many, many comedies like it keep doggedly patrolling the supposedly indivisible line between men and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and making that line the biggest comedic cul-de-sac since they buried Neil Simon.

Reese Witherspoon, Seth Rogen, Hugh Laurie and Rainn Wilson voice the creatures in this animated tribute to 1950s watch-the-skies tales, which features monsters and aliens being cute. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real technical feat but is hampered by a sense of restraint. (RvB) =0A3@D3 /<2 @3>=@B (R; 106

min.) Not all that laughable. Director Jody Hill seems to be coming to the end of the rope in a scene where he has star Seth Rogen and Aziz Ansari saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fuck youâ&#x20AC;? to each other for about a minute and a half.

Still, one respects the aggressiveness; if there werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t some spine to this comedy, some of its outrages wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stick in so many peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s craws. Barney Fife morphing into Travis Bickle isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a plot, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mashup, and Hill (The Foot Fist Way) starts with an ordinary farce before going far darker.

Seth Rogen plays the badge-crazed guard at a shopping mall; he has a witless, hopeless crush on Brandi (Anna Faris), a cosmetics salesgirl. When Brandi is upset by a f lasher, Ronnie takes on the case to avenge her.

Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catch-as-catch-can direction gives Faris a chance to go all the way with pop-eyed blonde venom. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a horrendously knowing caricature of mall girl heading to some fearful Last Call. Only someone that pretty could be so ugly. (RvB) =0A3AA32 (PG-13; 109 min.) A successful guy (Idris Elba) becomes the target of a female stalker (Ali Larter), much to the chagrin of his wife (BeyoncĂŠ). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Fatal Attractionâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;type thriller by director Steve Shill,

B63 A6=E Algeniz Perez Soto is Miguel Santos, a gifted Dominican pitcher with a shot at the majors, in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sugar,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; opening Friday. who is moving up from a variety of prestigious TV shows (Dexter, Rome, The Sopranos) to the big screen. >/@7A !$ (PG-13; 128 min.) In 1936, the meek, bald Pigoil (GĂŠrard Jugnot) turns himself in to the coppers for murder; once he worked at Parisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; peeling old Chansonia Theater, and in f lashback we see what happened during the turbulent year 1936.

This busy, badly edited, graceless musical has a heady background.

Director Christophe Barratierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s camera sets some kind of record for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrong-footforward approach never fails, right up to the Stella Dallas ending.

(RvB) % /5/7< (PG-13; 102 min.) Matthew Perry is a thirtysomething who wishes he could be a teenager again and magically turns into Zac Efron. Coincidentally, this is also Matthew Perryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real-life backup plan for reviving his career. (SP) A7< <=;0@3 (R; 96 min.) UCSC grad Cary Fukunagaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s startling debut concerns the cross-Mexico run of a doomed gangbanger (Edgar Flores) and the

girl who comes to love him, Sayra (Paulina Gaitan). For a young first-time feature filmmaker, Fukunaga has succeeded at reconciling the tragedy and beauty of this life on the run. The movie contains multitudes: pearlescent dawn shots of smoking volcanoes, barrios seen from the crowded top of a freight train. There are lyrical interludes of refuge at stops along the rail yards where the travelers bathe and are fed. Be warned that this passionately told, moody film includes the horrific side of urban Mexican life.

Could Sin Nombre be the first post-hip-hop urban movie? (RvB) B63 A=:=7AB (PG13; 117 min.) On again, off again true-life story of a deranged street musician (Jamie Foxx) who turns out to have spent time at Juilliard; this and more is teased out during his troubled friendship with his Boswell (Robert Downey Jr., very good and very dry), an L.A. Times columnist named Steve Lopez.

The highlight is the nigh-apocalyptic view of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boiling homeless encampment, like something out of

Bosch. The backstory of Lopezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s romantic troubles, a fictional subplot borrowed from His Girl Friday is by contrast about as believable as a bumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tale about why he needs a dollar. Foxx does some artistically athletic turnsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;he switches gears fastâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but his hammy, babbling rain-man gets on the nerves, and his acting in the f lashback scenes is almost risible. The Soloist demonstrates one of the essential marks of simple-minded scriptwriting: the idea of that the disturbed have a special conduit to the divine. (RvB) AB/@ B@39 (PG-13; 136 min.) See review, page 67.

AB/B3 =4 >:/G (PG13; 117 min.) Good but underpowered journothriller remake of the British miniseries, with a likable Russell Crowe as Cal McAffrey, a rumpled slob of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Washington Globeâ&#x20AC;? investigative reporter.

McAffrey covers the shooting of a petty thief in Georgetown, as well as the clipping of a witness. Somehow involved in it all is a congressman (Ben Aff leck), Calâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s college roommate. The sign of the times in this movie

is Calâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partnership with a young blogger (Rachel McAdams) who learns that the whole conspiracy is more than a sex-scandal sideshow. The film is at its most likable when it comes down against the derailment of worthwhile political careers by the morals clause, especially in the face of more genuine menaces to society.

(RvB) AC<A67<3 1:3/<7<5

(R; 102 min.) In Albuquerque, two sisters get into the lucrative field of cleaning up after dead bodies. Christine Jeff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mostly pleasant comedy of death and bloodshed is lit up like a pink lamp shade by the everlovable Amy Adams and given some dark highlights by Emily Blunt as her grimier sibling. The film seems trampled over by a producerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cold feet, but whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left has charm and hard-nosed humor.

With Alan Arkin as the feckless father of the sistersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;looking fit as usual, Arkin; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably get a shovel and bury us all some day. (RvB) F ;3< =@757<A( E=:D3@7<3 (PG-13;

what kind of oven youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stir for the first 10 minutes or so, then keep it moving with frequent stirs after that until it approaches golden brown. When it starts to turn, mix in the chopped fruit. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the brown darken a shade past golden.

We were in Charlieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new kitchen, which has granite countertops and a stove that lights when you turn a knob. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I phased out making granola when I moved back to civilization,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said wistfully.

By this point, the whole house will smell like a 1970s sheep campâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in a good way. Be prepared for drooling friends, family and perhaps an army of hippies to show up in your kitchen, lured by the smell. If you have any granola left over after the initial assault, store it in jars after itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cooled.

Unlike many hippies, my brother Charlie Granola was the real dealâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; earthy, simple and soulfulâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and his granola is proof. Watching the way it gets devoured by everyone, at every time of day, makes me question common assumptions about â&#x20AC;&#x153;hippieâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;granola.â&#x20AC;? Charlieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s granola isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just for hippies anymore, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just for breakfast anymore, either. And while the world may keep turning, and student bodies keep changing, Charlieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen, wood-burning or newfangled, will remain my favorite granola school. Ă

Free Will

1126 Soquel Ave.

Brezsny

Santa Cruz, near the Crepe Place and Rio Theatre At your service everyday from 10-9 since 1978

For the week of May 6 /@73A (March 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;April 19): When they pray, Muslims face the Kaaba, a cube-shaped building in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Every mosque around the world typically has a niche that shows the precise direction of that holy place. Recently, however, worshipers have discovered that many of the older mosques in Mecca itself have niches that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pointing the right way.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re concerned that the prayers theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve dispatched in the past werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t aimed correctly. Is it possible that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a comparable scenario in your life, Aries?

Might you be filled with righteous intentions, but not quite delivering them to the correct location? If so, this is an excellent time to make adjustments.

B/C@CA (April 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;May 20): In recent decades, many British people with unfortunate surnames have changed them. There are now 40 percent fewer Shuff lebottoms, while the numbers of Cockshotts and Smellies have also declined precipitously.

Meanwhile, back in the United States, the government has rebranded its notorious Global War on Terror, shifting to the more palatable â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overseas Contingency Operation.â&#x20AC;? I hold these examples up for your inspiration, Taurus. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good time to alter any name or title youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve outgrown, as well as any label that no longer fits or any category youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to leave behind.

53;7<7 (May 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June 20): Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to quote a few pieces of advice from a piece I found on the Internet, â&#x20AC;&#x153;15 Fun Things To Do During a Big, Important Test.â&#x20AC;? I trust that this will stimulate your imagination in all the right ways as you get ready for your metaphorical version of a final exam. 1. Bring your own private cheerleaders in uniform. Have them cheer loudly whenever you answer a question.

2. Haul in a large, f lamboyant idol. Set it next to you and pray to it often. 3. Bring a friend to give you a massage the entire time. Insist this person is needed because your thoughts f low properly only when your circulation is enhanced. 4. Every now and then, clap twice rapidly. If the teacher asks why, say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The light bulb that goes on above my head when I get an idea is hooked up to a Clapper. DUH!â&#x20AC;?

1/<13@ (June 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;July 22): Buster Posey is an up-and-coming baseball player for the San Francisco Giants. The poetic incongruity of his name is so apt a symbol for your imminent future, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m making him your patron saint. According to my reading of the omens, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be called on to be like a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Busterâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;a macho, pushy, no-nonsense dude who gets things doneâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but you will also find power in being as delicate and lovely and innocent as the small f lower bouquet known as a posey. Sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make sense to be one or the other. On other occasions, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll benefit from being in both modes simultaneously. :3= (July 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Aug. 22): The Amazing Race is a reality TV show in which two-member teams compete for money and prizes by doing odd feats in exotic locales. One especially stupid and awesome task they performed was carrying 50-pound wheels of cheese down a slippery hill in Switzerland. Everyone started out hauling the wheels on cumbersome wooden backpacks, but hardly anyone was able to make it to the bottom without falling, breaking the backpacks, and having to manually herd the runaway cheese the rest of the way. I foresee a similar fate for you, Leo. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be asked to do things that are both fun and frustrating, all in a cause that in the long run will be worthwhile.

D7@5= (Aug. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sept. 22): One of the most successful managers in baseball history was Casey Stengel. His New York Yankee teams won the world championship seven times. Before the 1953 season, when the Yankees had already won four consecutive World Series, he made the observation that â&#x20AC;&#x153;If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to win the pennant, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to start thinking weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not as smart as we think we are.â&#x20AC;? I hope some version of those words will come out of your mouth soon, Virgo. As savvy and crafty as you are, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to become even more so in order to pull off the victory thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost within your grasp. :70@/ (Sept. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Oct. 22): This notice appeared on a bulletin board at a local nightclub that features hip hop DJs: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Missing: my great-grandmotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s necklace, which dropped off my neck while I was krump dancing last Saturday. It might have happened when I was doing a head spin. The necklace has three strands of pearls and a pendant engraved with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;To Florence,

Free Public Parking at Cayuga & Soquel O (831)429-9600 1927.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Contact Monique.â&#x20AC;? I call this to your attention, Libra, because I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have an experience somewhat akin to Moniqueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Playing exuberantly in a very modern style could result in you losing something from the old days. Unlike Monique, though, I bet your loss will be liberating.

A1=@>7= (Oct. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Nov. 21): BBC reported on the growing number of â&#x20AC;&#x153;spiritual touristsâ&#x20AC;? who shop around in their search for inner peace. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are entering a world,â&#x20AC;? said one expert, â&#x20AC;&#x153;where people arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interested in whether something is true or not, or whether they believe it or not, but whether it works.â&#x20AC;? That would be a good prescription for you in the coming months, Scorpio. I recommend that you reject any idea or theory or practice unless it has the practical value of making you feel more at home in the world and more accepting of yourself.

A/57BB/@7CA (Nov. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Dec. 21): I encourage you to attempt a difficult feat: For a few days, dissolve every burst of anger that rises up in you. Squash it.

Wrestle it into submission. Attack it with love bombs.

If you can eradicate the fury at its source, never even letting it ripen, that would be best. But the most important thing is to use all your ingenuity to keep your hostility, irritation, and snark from reaching the surface and spilling out. And why should you try this seemingly impossible experiment? Because according to my analysis of the omens, it would bring unexpected improvements in your physical and mental health.

1/>@71=@< (Dec. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jan. 19): Did you hear about the older Korean woman who has failed her driving test 800 times? Or the American man who has filled out job applications at 25 Pizza Huts in 20 cities without being hired? Or the British artist who has completed over 5,000 paintings even though no gallery has ever shown his work? There is something about you that resembles those persistently frustrated peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or at least has resembled them up until now. Soon, I predict, the dogged efforts youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made will finally pay off in at least a modest success, and perhaps even more if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make an effort to free your mind of its backlog of sad images.

/?C/@7CA (Jan. 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Feb. 18): According to polls, more than half the population believes they are fantastic kissers. How did they get that way?

Some people say they have rehearsed extensively by smooching the backs of their own hands or rubbing their lips up against posters of celebrities. Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried these techniques or have developed other strategies, Aquarius, I advise you to bone up on your skills. Not this week, but soon, you will be entering a prime romantic phase of your astrological cycleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a time when you will have the potential to accomplish wonders and marvels with your mouth. >7A13A (Feb. 19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;March 20): How do you deal with those three periods every year when Mercury is retrograde, as it is between May 7 and 30? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like you to consider the meditations of artist and activist Gabrielle Senza: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think of Mercury retrograde as a big obnoxious Rottweiler on a chain that bares its teeth, lunging and barking as I walk by. I can choose to experience it in one of three ways: (1) as a frightening moment that catches me off guard; (2) as a humorous interlude that allows me to make fun of what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m afraid of because I know it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt me; (3) as an opportunity to change my route, usually leading to some wonderful surprise that rewards my instinct to willingly depart from my plans and projections.â&#x20AC;?
