One such individual, a 19-year-old transient from Portland who goes by â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rags,â&#x20AC;? can often be found begging for change and food downtown or hanging out at SubRosa. Asked if he supports vandalism in order to spread anarchy, he says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;fine with it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Places like Urban Outfitters, they deserve to have their windows smashed,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This kind of thing happens every May Day. People shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised. I just hope it woke people up that their corporate greed isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t welcome.â&#x20AC;?

Nonetheless, anarchist violence and those who support it are relatively rare in comparison to previous eras. Today anarchists break down into a myriad of different subsets based usually on their motivations and long-term goals.

According to Wikipedia, collectivist anarchists, for example, vie for a world where small productionbased collectives frame society, anarcho-primitivists call for a return to huntergatherer communities and Christian anarchists hold that all earthly governments are a sham.

As radicals, the groups often intermingle both socially and in organized marches with animal rights and environmental activists.

For many Santa Cruzans, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an easy leap to link the May Day vandalism with the 2008 firebombings and the sabotage of construction equipment by eco-activists in Scotts Valley and at UCSC last year.

Detective Dave Pawlak of the Santa Cruz Police Department investigated each of the latter incidents and says that defining the profile of a dangerous activist is easier said than done. He also says Santa Cruz is located on a radical â&#x20AC;&#x153;thoroughfareâ&#x20AC;? that runs from Southern California through Berkeley, Eugene, Portland and up to Seattle.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put these people into a mold,â&#x20AC;? says Pawlak. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can have young people that are taught by Mom and Dad and you can have older people that are Mom and Dad.â&#x20AC;?

Capt. Chuck Tilby, a 32year veteran of the Eugene Police Department, agrees that both violent and nonviolent anarchists come in all shapes. He also says the anarchists on the East Coast differ from those on the West. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the East Coast, the anarchists are often tied to the labor movement.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the case here. The West Coast seems to have the most active anarchist communities when it comes to elevating protest activities to criminal levels,â&#x20AC;? he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You saw this in Eugene in the mid-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s and it got popular around the county after WTO. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lump nonviolent protesters with the bad guys, however. One size does not fit all. These guys are often hijacking legitimate social protests and making it something it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t intended to be.â&#x20AC;?

A Teaching Moment As Malkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compassionate anarchy meeting winds down, Mia Duquet, a longtime Santa Cruz Parks and Recreation employee who came curious but skeptical about the philosophy, hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed her opinion that taking government out of societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equation is â&#x20AC;&#x153;too idealistic.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;What happened on May 1 reverberated and now the city is hiring eight new police officers that it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford,â&#x20AC;? she says, referring to a recent announcement

by Santa Cruz Mayor Mike Rotkin that, because of recent gang violence and the May Day riot, and despite an estimated budget gap of $3 million to $4 million,

the city will spend another $1 million boosting its force. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This could cause layoffs in departments like Parks and Rec. So when it starts affecting my family, I get concerned.â&#x20AC;?

Modes, Malkin and other anarchists also concede that inspiring a city to hire more police officers is counterintuitive to anarchismâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s widespread tenet of self-policing. Malkin, in fact, uses the upcoming hirings as a prime example of the benefits of nonviolent activism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is an inclination to want to force change,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most violent word in the English language is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;should.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And telling people they should or shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do something, whether by governments or activists, can be coercive and cause harm.â&#x20AC;?

For Modes, who still faces questions from FBI agents over the May Day incident, an upcoming court hearing over his role in an unsanctioned New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve parade and what he says are daily death threats from angry residents, â&#x20AC;&#x153;shitstorm 2010,â&#x20AC;? as heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called it on his Facebook page, will continue for some time to come. For business owners like Diane Towns of Velvet Underground and the vast majority of Santa Cruzans who have strongly condemned the destruction and the philosophy itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been attached to, no amount of peaceful anarchist marches or courteous debates will erase the stain that the black-clad vandals left on the town and their cause anytime soon.

But for Malkinâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and, he hopes, for some of the more open-minded residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; May Dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s destruction has created an opportunity to teach people about the other side of anarchy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before May first, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think you would have been calling me to talk about anarchy,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a positive side.â&#x20AC;? 0

When All Else Fails Former Assemblymember ?d]c AV^gY and current Assemblymember HVb 7aV`ZhaZZ may have officially announced their candidacies and are preparing for a shotgunwedding-style campaign for recently confirmed Lt. Gov. 6WZa BVaYdcVYdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15th District Senate seatâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but hoooooold your horses, cowboys! A lawsuit filed last week is trying to delay the June 22 special election and names one of the counties in the district, Monterey, as a defendant. The document says the special election ordered

by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger last month would put Monterey County in violation of the Voting Rights Act. Lawyers for the plaintiffs will argue that the special election needs federal approval from the Justice Department and that the dates setâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a June 22 primary and an Aug. 17 runoffâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;do not allow enough time for the county to prepare. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re required to get the pre-clearing, and they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gotten it and they need to get it,â&#x20AC;? says Gay Crosthwait Grunfeld, a San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;based lawyer for the plaintiffs. The California Democratic Party is reportedly backing the suit.

The complaint also says the election ought to take place in November, placing it on the ballot with higher profile, national contests, something Democrats had hoped Schwarzenegger would do on his own.

The general consensus seems to be that a November election with a higher turnout would play out better for a Democratic candidateâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in this case, John Laird. So they were necessarily incensed when Schwarzenegger stamped out those hopes hours after Maldonadoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confirmation, issuing the executive order for the June primary.

Laird responded to the news by writing a letter to Blakeslee, asking him to temporarily put the competition aside and join forces in asking the governor to delay the election. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because Monterey County is a Voting Rights Act county, there are serious issues about whether minority voters are being disproportionately disenfranchised because of the special election date,â&#x20AC;?

Laird wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Enough is enough. We will be spending millions of dollars that our counties desperately need on an election at the same time essential services are being cut.â&#x20AC;? The suit was filed in U.S. District Court and has already been assigned to Judge Jeremy Fogel in San Jose. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Jessica Lussenhop

Sorry, Italyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Not! When the 6b\Zc Idjg d[ 8Va^[dgc^V was rescheduled for May, many thought it might lose big-name riders to the <^gd YĂ&#x2030;>iVa^V, a Grand Tour event taking place simultaneously May 8â&#x20AC;&#x201C;30. But when deciding between the races, most of cyclingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legends opted for the Golden State. The Giro has some great cycling

talent, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have AVcXZ 6gbhigdc\, 6aWZgid 8dciVYdg, AZk^ AZ^e]Z^bZg, BVg` 8VkZcY^h], <Zdg\Z =^cXVe^Z, ;VW^Vc 8VcXZaaVgV or Idb 7ddcZcâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;because we do. Stage 3 of the big race starts in San Francisco on Tuesday, May 18, and ends in Santa Cruz at the Boardwalk. Maybe it was the promise of a postrace cooldown on the Loggerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Revenge that lured them away from the Tuscan countryside. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Gabe Meline Check news.santacruz.com on Tuesday, May 18, for coverage of the AMGEN STAGE 3 ďŹ nish at the Boardwalk.

Future Framer Of America She may be a young activist dealing with some of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most pressing issues, but :g^XV L^aa^Vbh is setting her sights on the futureâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;midcentury, to be exact. By that time, the Census Bureau predicts that racial minorities will make up most of the United Statesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; population, with no one group holding an overwhelming racial majority. As the Center for American Progressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new deputy director for Progress 2050 (as in the year 2050), Williams is taking steps to ensure that progressive policy reflects this forecasted diversity.

:==9 =CB Politico named Erica Williams one of the 50 Politicos to Watch.

Before her work with Progress 2050, Williams was in charge of another branch of the Center for American Progress. This was Campus Progress, an outreach program for students. During that time, she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I worked with young people around the country to help them engage in the political process and raise awareness about issues like college affordability, climate change and affirmative action.â&#x20AC;? The same segment of the population that she interacted with through Campus Progress will be her subject (and likely, much of her audience) when she arrives at UCâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; Santa Cruz to deliver a lecture on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The New Youth Movement: Changing U.S. Politics and Advancing Social Justice.â&#x20AC;?

Free. http://cjtc.ucsc.edu; 831.459.5743.

Pretty Pathway It was a big old-fashioned Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;style lovefest last Friday morning at the ribboncutting for the new segment of W^`Z eVi]

aZVY^c\ id i]Z IVccZgn 6gih 8ZciZg [gdb Ydlcidlc. The sun was shining, the bicyclepowered blender was blending, the Derby Girls were preening and the politicians were politicking, which in this case meant explaining how much the thing cost ($1.1 million), who paid for it ($400,000 came from state Props. 40 and 50, $400,000 from the redevelopment agency and $300,000 from the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s none-too-popular traffic impact fee) and whom to thank (former mayor and Tannery champion :b^an GZ^aan, Assemblymember 7^aa Bdcc^c\, Redevelopment director 7dcc^Z A^ehXdbW and city government, as represented by Mayor B^`Z Gdi`^c and Councilmember Ancc GdW^chdc).

A lot of hoopla for a ribbon of asphalt.

But then, the Highway 1 underpass has many charms, chief among them that it spares pedestrians and cyclists the horror of crossing the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s busiest intersection (River Street and Highway 1) should they wish to travel from the Tannery or Harvey West to downtown, or vice versa. Now walkers, joggers and cyclists can cruise, easy as you please, from downtown to the Tannery along the levee bike path without so much as a middle finger from an impatient motorist.

And the stretch of path from the underpass to the far end of the Tannery is a charming walk on the wild side, a brush with nature just 10 minutes from downtown.

Tannery folks are also hoping it becomes a cultural thoroughfare. Once the next phase of the development is complete and the Performing Arts Center goes in, the path could become a route for concertgoers taking the quick walk from downtown eateries and apartments to the new venue.

To Tannery resident 8]ZgnaZ L^cc, a practitioner of the quilting arts, the occasion held significance beyond greater convenience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so excited to have this,

because it really feels like for the first time weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re part of the community,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has bridged us, and now we can welcome the community to us.â&#x20AC;?

It was all so pleasant that we hated to contemplate the unbidden thought that came next, which is: how long before this gorgeous little piece of infrastructure becomes an expressway for the drug-addled and the furtive? Casting our eyes upward, we looked for lights. While lamps stood at regular intervals along the far end of the trail behind the Tannery, the stretch from the Riverfront Plaza to the underpass was illuminated by a lone, insufficient streetlight. We asked Rotkin, who was poised on his bicycle sporting helmet and reflective anklestrap, about it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More lights are coming,â&#x20AC;? he assured. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By next week.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on top of it.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to be. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Traci Hukill

Oil and Water The vulnerability of the oil-blooming waters of the Gulf of Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;where some 5,000 barrels a day are gushing into the sea from a broken wellheadâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;resonates deeply with residents of the Central Coast. Monterey Bay, one of the richest marine ecosystems in the world, shares striking similarities with the Gulf. Tourists craving ocean sports and marine life flock to its shores. A prime difference, however, is that there is no oil drilling off the Central Coast, and there wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be soon: following the Deepwater Horizon debacle, Gov. Schwarzenegger backed off a plan to authorize oil drilling off the coast of Santa Barbara. And the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary is off-limits no matter what the governator says.

But a different petroleum product plagues our waters: plastic pollution. Save Our Shores executive director AVjgV @VhV says that 151,699 plastic pieces and 18,296 plastic bags have been collected through the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local beach and river cleanups since 2007. After a countywide plastic bag ban goes into effect, she predicts these numbers will decrease, just as the quantity of styrofoam on beaches declined sharply after it was banned in 2007 and 2008.

Sea turtles are particularly vulnerable to oil and plastic floating on the oceanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surface, as they often mistake plastic bags for their favorite food, jellyfishâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a mistake that is often fatal.

And now turtles are facing a new threat. Last week, CNN documented the first sea turtle caught in the growing oil slick in the Gulf.

Davenport-based marine biologist LVaaVXZ ?# C^X]dah identified the turtle as an endangered loggerhead that had come to the surface to breath, and was struggling to do so in water laden with globules of oil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the time they are babies, sea turtles gravitate towards floating algae and kelp,â&#x20AC;? says Nichols. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An oil slick is not something they are used to, and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t move away from it; they may actually move into it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Maria Grusauskas

Indie jazz sensation Vienna Teng contemplates life beyond the spotlight 0G /<2@3E 57:03@B7

V

IENNA TENG hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lost faith in the power of music to change the world, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not putting all her eggs in one basket.

The Saratoga-raised singer/ songwriter has earned a passionate following over the past decade with a series of albums distinguished by her luminous voice, poetically evocative lyrics and incisive melodies. While her songs tend toward introspection and character study more than advocacy, she has sought to align her politics with her art, whether partnering with

Habitat for Humanity on her 2007 Green Caravan tour or offering ecologically friendly merchandise.

For the next few years however, Teng is putting music on the back burner. Her Saturday and Sunday shows at Yoshiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s San Francisco and Monday performance at Kuumbwa are the last in the area before she heads off to the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor to pursue a dual masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in business administration and natural resources and environment, a program that will enable her to address environmental and social

issues working with for-profit companies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My interest in this stuff shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprising,â&#x20AC;? says Teng, 31. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It shows up in songs from time to time and the organizations we donate tour proceeds and CD revenues to. . . . But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a limit to how effective I can be without further education. I want to know more, and do more. The ultimate goal is to somehow integrate what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll learn over the next few years with making music. Or at the very least, create a life where they exist alongside each other.â&#x20AC;? ¨

1=D3@ AB=@G j ;CA71/: >@=5@3AA7=< Going back to school is just the latest major change in Tengâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. About three years ago she relocated from the Bay Area to New York City, and you can hear the impact of the teeming metropolisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bustle all over her ambitious 2009 album Inland Territories. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The tempoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kicked up a few notches, something to do with running after subway trains,â&#x20AC;? says Teng, who has also upped her game at the piano.

While some Inland songs explore familiar Teng territory, using romantic relationships as metaphor for the existential condition, she also gets far outside of her own head. She credits her New York experience with inspiring her first venture into thematic songwriting, exploring politically charged issues such as illegal immigration and the conflict between Palestinians and Israelis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;New York is a very dense space and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a certain ever-pervasive awareness of all the different perspectives and cultures at any given time,â&#x20AC;? Teng says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re surrounded by people whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve immigrated from all over the world, with very specific identities, and it kind of seeps into your subconscious.â&#x20AC;?

Rhythm Fusion Just as important for Tengâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent musical evolution is her creative relationship with percussionist Alex Wong, who produced Inland Territories and tours with her as a duo. Like Teng, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a New York transplant from the Bay Area. They first met in 2002 when his band The Animators played an open mic night at Red Rocks Coffee in Mountain View, and they all ended up hanging out together after the gig. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two weeks later we turned on the TV and saw her on Letterman,â&#x20AC;? recalls Wong, who grew up in Palo Alto. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Who is this girl?!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

They stayed in touch over the next few years, and when Teng decided to expand her trio with cello and violin she recruited Wong to add a more assertive rhythmic sensibility. He has greatly expanded his sonic palette in the duo, traveling with an unorthodox percussion battery that includes one cymbal, glockenspiel, shakers, a snare drum with brushes and mallets, and a large boxlike cajon that he modifies with an effects pedal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I approach drums from a writing standpoint, not as if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to express myself through them,â&#x20AC;? Wong says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can sit out for 16 bars and just play a cymbal splash, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m OK with that. Viennaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music has a wide dynamic range. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very delicate sometimes, but sometimes

it wants to rock. I do a lot of stuff with time delays, giving it a produced, almost electronic sound, implying the drum kit without sounding too rocky or folk.â&#x20AC;?

Tengâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more assertive sound has gone hand in hand with delving into the dynamics of her upbringing. Her grandparents fled mainland China during the communist revolution, and the family made its way from Taiwan to the United States in pursuit of opportunity for their children.

She fulfilled the expectations of her immigrant parents as an academic high achiever with a computer science degree from Stanford. But Teng decided to walk away from a job at Cisco Systems in order to pursue her passion for music.

Just as Teng shed her given name, Cynthia Yih Shih, her embrace of an economically unstable life in the arts signaled her rebellion against a career path that felt pre-ordained by her family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went through a period when I needed to declare my independence and I rejected what my parents stood for, writing off what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve accomplished and done,â&#x20AC;? Teng says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had enough time to calm down and see that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re deeply impressive people who have been through a lot.â&#x20AC;?

On pieces like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grandmother Songâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Another Life,â&#x20AC;? she uses her music to make an empathic leap into the lives of her relatives. Teng still faces disapproval, but in accepting her family as her foundation rather than her foil, her music has taken on another layer of emotional complexity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I see my grandmother, the disappointment is visible,â&#x20AC;? Teng says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She wishes I got an advanced degree and married someone with a similar pedigree, with kids and a house. She had to run to air raid shelters. Her education was interrupted, and she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have many options. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so desperate for me to take advantage of everything.â&#x20AC;?

Her grandmother might not realize it, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what Teng is doing. She may not be pursuing the academic degree her family hoped for, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s embracing freedom and responsibility, choosing a path that leads to entrepreneurial spirit, self-expression and social consciousness.

Unlike last year, which saw cyclists screaming through downtown streets on their way to the finish line (pictured), this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race will finish up at the Boardwalk, where a Lifestyle Festival with taiko drumming, mountain bike stunt demos and other treats awaits.

Tuesday, May 18. Festival starts at 11am, Beach Boardwalk, 400 Beach St., Santa Cruz.

predatory space craft, retains most of its original delight. Bloodyminded innovations by scriptwriter Roald Dahl include the opening sequence, set to a particularly deathless piece of film music â&#x20AC;&#x153;Capsule in Spaceâ&#x20AC;? by John Barry. Pauline Kael said this moment was more exciting than all of 2001. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show up late for the movie. (As for Dahl, his handiwork also seems to include a frighteningly innovative ninja murder improving on the method in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Adventure of the Speckled Band,â&#x20AC;? not to mention an off-hand comment about what befell a tourist who

took a compromising photograph.) Costars include Charles Gray as a friendly Australian liaison, cut off in midsentence; Mie Hama is the Japanese agent brought into help. RAF Wing Commander Ken Wallis was the pilot of the WA-116 autogyro, known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Little Nellieâ&#x20AC;?; despite age (b.

(PG-13; 104 min.) A new kind of dreadful.

Jennifer Lopez plays Zoe, a Manhattan boutique pet-store owner who has decided to have a turkey-baster babe. Shortly after insemination, she meets Stan (Alex Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Loughlin, combining the least interesting elements of Dermot Mulroney and Keanu Reeves). The typical romcom hunk has been greenwashed here; Stan runs a gourmet cheese stall and has a herd of goats upstate. He apparently milks them through osmosis, because the farm goes on the backburner. The movie is a bizarre mix of the bland, expensive and clinical, yet Zoe goes into labor with perfect makeup on and an orchid behind her ear.

No relief by Michaela Watkins as Zoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best pal, a bitter housewife; her four kids seem to be raising themselves, like Zoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pets and Stanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goats. (RvB) 4C@@G D3<53/<13

(PG; 92 min.) Brendan Fraser reprises his role as a bungling family man, this time taking on a set of woodland creatures determined to save their forest from development. With Brooke Shields and Ricky Garcia.

(PG-13; 136 min.)

Roman Polanskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goodlooking thriller follows a British journalist (Ewan McGregor) hired to clean up the memoirs of a British prime minister (Pierce Brosnan) whose previous ghost writer has just turned up dead.

With Kim Cattrall as the PMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curvaceous chief of staff and Olivia Williams as his intellectual wife. (CW) B63 57@: E7B6 B63 2@/5=< B/BB==

(Unrated; 158 min.)

Stieg Larssonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book is the hottest thing going in mysteries right now, and thankfully, director

Niels Arden Oplev and screenwriters Nikolaj Arcel and Rasmus Heisterberg recognized that more important than any of the hype swirling around the book is the protagonist at its center, Lisbeth Salander. She is the girl with the dragon tattoo, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maybe the best fictional character to come around yet this century. Swedish actress Noomi Rapace is absolutely incredible in her ability to bring Lisbeth to life. She is a force of nature, pure and simple. Lisbeth is hired to dig up dirt on Mikael (Michael Nyqvist) but ends up helping him investigate the disappearance many years ago of Harriet, heiress to a creepy, feuding family of millionaires. Though it may use the U.S. title, the movie doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shy away from the bookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unrelenting critique of the violence that society allows men to perpetuate against women, and though the scenes with certain unsavory characters may have been cut down in number, they are still surprisingly graphic.

Luckily, Lisbeth is womankindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ultimate revenge fantasy come trueâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;sooner or later, her boots are gonna walk all over absolutely everyone. (SP) 6/@@G 0@=E< (R;

102 min.) Probably indefensible but far better than the average customary raginggeezer vigilante movie; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen this movie before but rarely done this crazy, almost halfway to Gaspar NoĂŠ in its fatefulness, grim urban surfaces and misanthropy.

Michael Caine as Harry Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a cautious, ill old Londoner with little left to loseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;gives us everything Caine ever had in his prime: here is both the decency and the steel beneath it.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a happy experience watching Brown slowly decide to do what this movie assures him he needs to do. But Harry Brown isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dead from the neck up. Director Daniel Barber disguises the manipulation in the

(RvB) 7@=< ;/< (PG13; 125 min.) Struck by heavy-metal poisoning from his atomic pacemaker, Tony Stark (a roguish Robert Downey Jr.) is besieged by enemies: a Russian ex-con with access to his technology (Mickey Rourke being the Bear That Walks Like a Man), a gladhanding competitor (Sam â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Always Best in Small Dosesâ&#x20AC;?

Rockwell) and last but not least the U.S. Government. Politically muddled is the worst you can say about it; a power fantasy ought not to lose the idea of which way the power is f lowing. Despite a middle section that vamps for time, Jon Favreau is successful in making this an invigorating meld of screwball comedy and robot-fighting action; Scarlett Johansson is most decorative as the agent known elsewhere as Black Widow, and

Gwyneth Paltrow shows a nimbleness previously unseen (she has to act fast to get up to Downeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speed).

Broad, playful, well-cut and economically done, this movie isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just the first of the summer blockbustersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the model for how they all should work. (RvB) 9719 /AA (R; 117 min.)

Dave, a home-brewed costumed vigilante (Aaron Johnson), meets up with real professionals in the field: a Batman and Robinâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;esque fatherand-daughter team (Nicolas Cage, and the excellent Chloe Moretz, who was the wise little girl in (500) Days of Summer).

Entertaining in parts, but director Matthew Vaughn has no feeling for the romance and mystery and vigilante lore: the movie has a nasty fan-boy quality, a hermetic focus that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see anything beyond the purpose of beating bad guys bloody. Cage carries the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ambiguity

deftlyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enough of a serious comic book reader that he knows itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dreadful thing when a father bends his child to revenge.

Bloody-minded little girls (thank heaven for them) may like Moritz.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nuts to call Kick-Ass the next Watchmen.

The slamming violence and the dullard noms de guerre these superheroes pick for themselves show a comic-book tradition at the end of a line. (RvB) :/ ;7AA7=< (R; 125 min.) Che (Benjamin Bratt) is an S.F. Muni conductor, a hobby mechanic and an excon, single-parenting his son, Jesse (Jeremy Ray Valdez). What he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know is that Jesse has a secret lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and a boyfriend who lives in St. Francis Wood.

Cheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outright rage at his sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sexuality is tempered by the attentions of his lovely new neighbor Lena (Erika Alexander). Any positive representation of Aztlan has to be

applauded; the scenes of highly polished lowriders gliding through the Mission make their own statement of beauty and pride. Bratt is the definition of moviestar gravity: a man doing nothing but thinking about stuff and making it look interesting. The film, then, is a celebration of San Francisco. Problem is, San Francisco may be San Francisco, but it is still a city. So some hard-to-credit idealization mixes uneasily with real, street-level violence.

(And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing to make a Sundance movie, another to openly filch a scene from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.) La Mission is a kind of overexemplified view of San Francisco as a city of healing and refuge: a vision of a place where everyone is wounded, and almost everyone heals each other.

(PG) Amanda Seyfriend vehicle tells the story

of an American tourist in Italy who stumbles onto an enchanting letter and decides to learn more about the writer. With Vanessa Redgrave and Gael Garcia Bernal. =13/<A (G; 100 min.)

The dearth of narrative thrust and useful informational tidbits are a downsideâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the creatures swimming by are sometimes identified, sometimes not. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re arranged by cuteness, color and shape rather than by districts of the ocean, as in the sturdy zonal structure of Earth.

Bruno Coulais, the rising composer whose work was key to the success of The Secret of Kells and Coraline, is adept with musical scoring: the organ is never too heavy and the harp is never too light. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to miss most of the text; because this is Disney, the anthropomorphic angle is heavy; narrator Pierce Brosnan salutes the ancient wisdom of a sheepshead wrasse,

the smoochiness of a walrus and the smiling face of our friend the Great White Shark.

Oceansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cuteness is, you know, for the kids; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moments to clutch like a blanket when seeing the bottomless appetites underwater: a horrorsequence of a school of sardines under Scud attack by plummeting cormorants, frigate birds picking off a beachful of baby tortoises as if they were popcorn and a vicious crab/langouste bout thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as bad as any streetfight.

Astrology Free Will

By Rob Brezsny

For the week of May 12 /@73A (March 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;April 19): What happens when someone â&#x20AC;&#x153;sells outâ&#x20AC;?? Typically, it refers to a person who overrides her highest artistic standards or her soulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mandates in order to make a bundle of money.

But I want to enlarge the definition to encompass any behavior that seeks popular appeal at the expense of authenticity, or any action that sacrifices integrity for the sake of gaining power. I think you have to be especially on guard against this lapse in the coming days, Ariesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not only in yourself but also in those youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re close to.

B/C@CA (April 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;May 20): â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live the button-down life,â&#x20AC;? says cartoon character Homer Simpson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want it all: the terrifying lows, the dizzying highs, the creamy middles.â&#x20AC;? Born May 10, Homer is unusual for a Taurus. Many of your tribe love the creamy middles but are quite content to live without the terrifying lows, even if that means being deprived of your fair share of dizzying highs. While that may sometimes seem like a boring limitation, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect it to be any time soon. The creamy middles that are looming for you are the lushest, plushest creamy middles Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen in a long time.

Terrifying lows and dizzying highs will be irrelevant.

53;7<7 (May 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June 20): Spanish painter Francisco Goya created an etching titled El SueĂąo de la RazĂłn Produce Monstruos. Its two possible translations have very different meanings: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sleep of reason produces monstersâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;The dream of reason produces monsters.â&#x20AC;? The first version suggests that when our reasoning faculties go dormant, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re susceptible to doing dumb and crazy things. The second version implies that if we rely excessively on our reasoning faculty, it acquires a lunatic hubris that devalues our emotions and distorts our imagination. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more susceptible to the former than the latter right now, Gemini, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crucial that you avoid both. A way out of your pain is available if you use your reason just rightâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;neither too little nor too much.

1/<13@ (June 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;July 22): Some of your

Santa Cruz Veterinary Hospital Serving you with thorough and compassionate care for more than 45 years

illusions seeped into you before you learned to talk.

Others sneaked into you later, while you were busy figuring out how to become yourself. Eventually, you even made conscious choices to adopt certain illusions because they provided you with comfort and consolation. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no need to be ashamed of this.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a natural part of being a human being. Having said that, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to announce that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re entering a phase when you will have the power to shed at least some of your illusionsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;especially the ones you consciously choseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in ways that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt you. To begin the process, declare this intention: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have the courage to see life as it really is.â&#x20AC;?

:3= (July 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Aug. 22): According to a statute in the

When your pet needs emergency care Emergency triage for urgent and life-threatening conditions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week Overnight doctor managed care / On-site diagnostic lab and digital x-ray / Advanced nursing care and patient monitoring / Access to board certiďŹ ed specialists

state of Indiana, you may not use your bare hands to catch a fish from a lake. In Fairbanks, Alaska, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re breaking the law if you let a moose slurp an alcoholic drink. In Flowery Branch, Ga., you may be arrested if you shout out â&#x20AC;&#x153;Snake!â&#x20AC;? Arizona doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t permit you to let a donkey sleep in your bathtub. And yet Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to say that you Leos could probably get away with all of these acts and more in the coming weeks. The omens suggest that your levels of freedom are extremely high, as is your amount of slack. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have clearance to do many things you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t normally be able to do.

D7@5= (Aug. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sept. 22): I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it was possible, but paranoid visions of doom and gloom have become even more popular in the past few years than ever before. Apocalypse-watching is no longer a fringe hobby reserved for conspiracy fetishists; it has gone mainstream. And yet here I am in the midst of the supposed mayhem, babbling my eccentric ideas about how we are living in the single most wonderful time in the history of civilization. So let me ask you a crucial question, especially if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re one of the millions of normal people who believes that cynicism is a supreme sign of intelligence: Do you really want to be getting your fortune told by a rebel optimist like me? You should know that all my horoscopes are rooted in the hypothesis that expecting the best makes you happier, safer, kinder, wilder, stronger, and smarter. What happens in the coming weeks will, in my opinion, be dramatic proof of that. :70@/ (Sept. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Oct. 22): The bad news is that climate change is really underway. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Purbasha Island in the Bay of Bengal has sunk beneath the waves, swallowed up by rising sea levels and shifts in monsoon patterns. The good news is

that its disappearance has ended a dispute between India and Bangladesh, both of which claimed it as their own. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing left to fight over. I foresee a metaphorically comparable scenario coming to your life, Libra: an act of nature that will render a conflict irrelevant.

A1=@>7= (Oct. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Nov. 21): Some experts say methamphetamine is more addictive than any other drug. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one reason why, according to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mothers Against Methamphetaminesâ&#x20AC;? founder Dr. Mary Holley: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The effect of an IV hit of methamphetamine is the equivalent of 10 orgasms all on top of each other lasting for 30 minutes to an hour, with a feeling of arousal that lasts for another day and a half.â&#x20AC;? At least thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like in the early stages of using the drug. After a while, hell sets in and the body is no longer happy. Luckily, you Scorpios wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be tempted to fall victim to meth splurges any time soon. Without relying on anything more than your natural powers, your capacity for experiencing erotic pleasure will be substantial.

A/57BB/@7CA (Nov. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Dec. 21): Your eyes can discriminate between about 500 various shades of gray. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope your moral compass is as precise in its power to distinguish subtle differences. Why? Because there will be no easy black-vs.-white decisions to make in the near future; no simple, foolproof way to determine the distinctions between good and bad. I recommend that for now you give up hope of achieving utter certainty, and instead celebrate the refined pleasures of nuanced, complicated truth.

1/>@71=@< (Dec. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jan. 19): These days you have an extraordinary capacity to perform magic.

And when I use that word â&#x20AC;&#x153;magic,â&#x20AC;? I mean it in a very specific sense: causing practical changes to occur in accordance with your most noble and beautiful desires. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not talking about the kind of â&#x20AC;&#x153;magicâ&#x20AC;? that helps you gratify mediocre wishes or tawdry fantasies.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not saying you should go on an acquisitive binge as you gather up booty and bragging points. Rather Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m letting you know that you have the power to create inspiring transformations in the way your life works. /?C/@7CA (Jan. 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Feb. 18): Do you want to know where all the power lies for you right now?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nowhere. Do you want to know what the nature of that power is? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing. But before you jump to conclusions about the meaning of what I just said, read this passage from Lao Tzuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tao Te Ching, translated by Stephen Mitchell: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We join spokes together in a wheel, but it is the center hole that makes the wagon move. We shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want.

We hammer wood for a house, but it is the inner space that makes it livable.â&#x20AC;? >7A13A (Feb. 19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;March 20): A Pisces woman I know was harried by ant swarms invading her kitchen.

She could have run out to the drug store and brought home loads of poisonous little ant hotels. Instead, she gave her imagination the go-ahead to brainstorm.

Soon sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d come up with a solution. She scooped up a host of ants and threw them in a blender with the other ingredients of her smoothie, then drank it all down. The next day, all the ants had departed, as if scared off by the Great Devourer. I suggest you learn from her example, both in the sense of being open to outlandish possibilities and in the sense of finding alternate ways to deal with adversaries.
