â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen some pretty shanty places,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know plenty of people who live in garages. I know one guy who lives in a closet . . . yeah, a closet.â&#x20AC;?

Backlogged Besides fulfilling its end of the bargain with UCSC and â&#x20AC;&#x153;improving the housing stock,â&#x20AC;? as Rebagliati and Rotkin put it, another major reason city leaders are keen on the law is that it would pay for two more code enforcement specialists and a clerk to help whittle down the estimated 400 to 1,000 uninvestigated complaints that have accumulated despite the efforts of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two current specialists.

Inside the planning office on Church Street, three massive file cabinets hold hundreds of open complaints in heavy red paper folders, stacks of which are also spread across the cubicle desks of Code Compliance Specialists Linda Garner and Paige White. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really have no idea how many open cases there are,â&#x20AC;? admits Rebagliati, opening the heavy-duty cabinets to show the looming workload. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of property owners who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t up to code.â&#x20AC;?

Even though the law has passed and is just waiting for confirmation and implementation, ads for what planners characterize as substandard housing optionsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;tiny shared rooms, converted garages and suchâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;are still easily found on Craigslist. One ad offers a â&#x20AC;&#x153;shared garage spaceâ&#x20AC;? in Seabright for $500 a month. Another lists a â&#x20AC;&#x153;dining room converted to a bedroomâ&#x20AC;? on Felix Street for $750.

At noon on a Saturday, Robert Rhoades, the tall, ruddy-faced landlord who placed the converted dining room ad, pulls up in a black Lexus to show the room to two students and a parent who showed up for an open house. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come,â&#x20AC;? he says when he learns Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a reporter, but not before promising that once the rental inspection law is in place, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll â&#x20AC;&#x153;pass the cost on to the tenants.â&#x20AC;? Shortly afterward, the ad on Craigslist has been taken down.

Landlords and privacy rights advocates will likely continue to rail against the law. They may even sue the city, as groups in Buffalo and Milwaukee have done after similar laws passed in those cities. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s able to keep one extra set of drug dealers from practicing carpentry, however, Rotkin says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be worth it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That house is a disaster,â&#x20AC;? says the mayor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great example of why we need this law.â&#x20AC;? 0

Local Boy Makes Food Jake Gandolfo of Felton is killing it on Fox networkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;MasterChef.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; How far will he go?

H

E DOESNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T EVEN TRY to pretend that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not enjoying it. Jake Gandolfo is making his way through the Felton Farmers Market on a savagely hot Tuesday, me half a step behind, scribbling and plying him for information about the next few episodes of MasterChef. Did he win? Did he get the boot? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s giving up nothing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Me?â&#x20AC;? he asks, his eyebrows shooting up over the top of his blue mirrored shades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, I know everything. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like, you know, when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a little kid and your parents tell you you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know everything?

Well, I know everything.â&#x20AC;?

And heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happy with the outcome? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy.â&#x20AC;?

He heads off toward the peach stand and I follow, parsing that last bit for tone and inflection. He emphasized the pronoun ever so slightly, as in, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah,

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy.â&#x20AC;? But was it â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy, but the douche who took second isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;tâ&#x20AC;?? Or was it â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy, even though I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win, because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not an assholeâ&#x20AC;?? or was it â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy, because six months ago I was driving a backhoe and now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on TV and 5.5 million people watch me every weekâ&#x20AC;??

Of the dozens of amateur chefs who started in the latest Fox reality cooking show, the 39-year-old Felton resident and former construction worker is one of 11 who remain. The winner gets a quarter of a million dollars and a cookbook deal. On Wednesday, Sept. 15, three episodes from now, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know who that is.

Whatever happens, Gandolfo will still have his star power. He cuts quite the figure with his straw cowboy hat, long goatee and black sleeveless T-shirt showing off his tribal tattoos. A beefy guy, he moves with the slight swaying gait seen in more exaggerated form in sumo wrestlers. You can feel people looking

at him out of the corner of their eye. He just looks like somebody.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also determined to be somebody in the culinary world. He quit his job running heavy equipment just before heading to L.A. to tape the show in April. Since the series started airing on July 27, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a tornado of self-promotion, throwing viewing parties at the Crowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nest, Clouds, in Napa and in the East Bay. An old family friend flew him out to Connecticut to cook for 300 people.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s started a catering and private chef business, Custom Culinary Concepts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In talking to my friends from the show it seems like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m being the most proactive out of everybody because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a self-made guy. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not gonna sit around and wait,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a shucker and a jiver and a go-getter, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m gonna make it happen.â&#x20AC;? ¨

This past weekend he won Best Tri Tip and Grand Champion Overall for the first annual Santa Cruz Rib Cook-Off in San Lorenzo Park. This Wednesday, Sept. 1, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s throwing a viewing party at, appropriately enough, Jakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the Lake in Tahoe City, where he married his wife, Erin Buchla, three years ago. The show airs on Fox this Wednesday at 8pm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And, the good Lord willing, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be back to Santa Cruz after that,â&#x20AC;? he says coyly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I move forward after the show.â&#x20AC;?

Jake From Santa Cruz There are several reasons to believe â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jake from Santa Cruz, Californiaâ&#x20AC;? might go the distance, mostly having to do with clues dropped by the wily editors at Fox, who pieced the show together after all six weeks of taping were finished in the spring and the outcome had been decided:

7^\ 7gd AdkZ Graham Elliot is on his side. In Episode 2, the extra-large Chicago chef, one of the three judges, sees himself in Jake when our man enters in cowboy hat, sleeveless T and shorts.

GRAHAM ELLIOT: I thought that was me cominâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; through that door!

JAKE: Graham, you and me are peas

and carrots.

Next, Graham takes Jake under his wing after the other two judges slam his signature dish, an eclectic surf â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; turf with steak spiedini and scallops, as underseasoned and â&#x20AC;&#x153;contrived.â&#x20AC;?

JUDGE JOE BASTIANICH: Come here.

Step around here, come over here. Tell me why I should vote yes.

JAKE: Because I have the potential to

grow and expand and become a great chef in my heart of hearts. . . .

ELLIOT (walking over and putting hands

on Jakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoulders): Look at this guy. I will vouch for him. Joe, I will make this guy better.

6 ?V`Z I]ZbZ Most of the contestants stay in the background unless theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re crying, losing or winning a round.

But a handful have been saddled with a kind of boilerplate analysis thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frequently highlighted and which presumably helps the drama along. In Jakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, nearly every episode features someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;usually an announcer or a judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;marveling at the disparity between his burly appearance and his ¨

september 1-8, 2010 A/<B/1@CH 1=;

1=D 3 @ A B= @G j := 1 / : 0 =G ; / 9 3 A 4 = = 2 fine kitchen skills. This is a much more promising theme than that assigned to David (too arrogant) or to Mike (in too big a hurry). A typical example comes in Episode 4, as Jake is acing the Mystery Box Challenge with his double-cut pork chop. Three-star British chef Gordon Ramsay, the brutal Simon Cowell of the judges, once again expresses his amazement that Jake is not an oaf.

RAMSAY: Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something really nice

about the way you work. I expected you to be clumsy. You build office blocks.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on construction sites, for Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake, but you walk around a kitchen with great finesse. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like watching a swan glide across a pond. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique. A big swan. (Laughter.)

You could probably organize a drinking game around Jakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bleeps. In fact, the only person who swears more than he does is Gordon Ramsay.

7ZVjXdje HXgZZc I^bZ Jakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a favorite from the get-go, and he gets lots of screen time. At random moments, like when the group is standing on the beach at Camp Pendleton, learning that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to cook for 150 Marines, the camera zooms in on his face. This phenomenon may have as much to do with Jakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s penchant for colorful language as with his look. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a character. In Episode 1, Jake introduces himself memorably, in classic Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;speak.

JAKE: I want to say to the other people in the competition to bring it.

Because I am [bleep] for real and it is on like Donkey Kong, you know? I am definitely here to compete.

Later, in Episode 5, he gives his opinion of the Team Redâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s burger, which is beating his Team Blueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s burger in the Truck Stop Challenge.

JAKE: That burger I just tasted was gross. To me, it was [bleep] gross. It was a [bleep] burger slathered in barbecue sauce and raw bacon.

You could probably organize a drinking game around Jakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bleeps. In fact, the only person who swears more than he does is the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alpha, the hotheaded Ramsay. Here he is on the subject of Jakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surf â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; turf, Episode 2.

RAMSAY: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry. A surf â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; turf is

about a good quality cut of beef, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about filet against big lobster tail. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got great scallops and [bleep] beef, a garnish, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got overcooked rice, [bleep] pea purĂŠe. No. Back in Santa Cruz, Gandolfo recalls a little shock in the studio with the Donkey Kong comment. That dissipated as the producers realized what they had on their hands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They got a taste of my flavor and my flurry and then it was like, Jake can say whatever the fuck he wants,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Tony Carbone, the good-natured Boston waiter who was eliminated in Episode 5, was Gandolfoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roommate during the taping and got to know him well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What you see is what you get with Jake,â&#x20AC;? Carbone says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lovable guy. I think America loves him, as they should.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not throwing punches. But heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not putting up smoke screens, either. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just Jake being Jake.â&#x20AC;?

Gandolfo tells another story that sounds like foreshadowing. When he went for the screening, he was doing his bit with a producer and his assistant, just yammering on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just doubled over and he keeps going up to her and putting his folder over his face and talking to her.

And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m like, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s he saying? And he goes, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m telling her youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna be a star.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; What more can you ask for than that?â&#x20AC;?

Oh, and the Food Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one other reason to suspect Gandolfo is at least headed for the Top 4. The judges like his food. A lot.

His egg dish was pronounced â&#x20AC;&#x153;perfectly wellâ&#x20AC;? constructed. He placed in the Top 3 in the pork chop Mystery Box Challenge. He was among the three finalists in the Cupcake Challenge. And he smoked all the other contestants last ¨

1=D 3 @ A B= @G j := 1 / : 0 =G ; / 9 3 A 4 = = 2 week on the Cat Cora challenge, which saw 11 aspiring cooks trying desperately to copy the Iron Chef â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complex truffled halibut dish.

That a former construction worker with no formal culinary training knows how to sear a halibut and prepare a cream sauce that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t break might come as a surprise to many, but not particularly to Gandolfo himself. He started cooking at the age of 5 with creations like Ants on a Log and Ritz crackers with peanut butter and chocolate chips. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d put it in the fridge, and it was chilled, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I mean, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty good for 5 years old.â&#x20AC;?

Back in Connecticut, where Gandolfo lived until coming out West and finding Santa Cruz in 1993, his â&#x20AC;&#x153;hunter-gathererâ&#x20AC;? family canned vegetables and bought steers and hogs to butcher for the winter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were poor. It was about supplementing our income, and it really tightened up in the winter. But what a way of appreciating ingredients.â&#x20AC;? As time went on, he kept cooking and barbecuing. He still uses a cast iron skillet that he first used in 1978 to cook venison while ice fishing.

Gandolfoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much surprise his wife, Erin Buchla, who realized early on in their courtship the seriousness of his hobby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen anyone just sit on a couch and read a cookbook from start to finish. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what he did, just reading and reading and reading. I have a huge collection of cookbooks, and he got through half of those.â&#x20AC;?

Incidentally, she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how he did on the show, either. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Jake came back he wanted to tell me and I said, no! Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell me! I had to tell him, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It would take a couple of glasses of wine and a couple of girlfriends and this is out. Do not tell me because I will spill the beans!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Right now the two are reveling in their plans for the future. Gandolfo is eager to get the private chef part of his business going. Buchla says theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve long dreamed of a bed and breakfast, only with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jake and Erinâ&#x20AC;? twist. Week by week, it gets a little closer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have an amazing opportunity,â&#x20AC;?

Gandolfo says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This gift has been placed in my lap.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;MasterChef â&#x20AC;&#x2122; airs Wednesdays at 8pm on Fox. To view past episodes and see interviews with Jake Gandolfo, visit www.fox.com/masterchef.

Heating Up As real summer begins, our writer ponders summertime jams that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make you puke 0G 5/03 ;3:7<3

S

O IT TURNS OUT that the Beach Boys, despite widespread rumor, are not actually suing yeowling bimbo Katy Perry for the line â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really wish you all could be California girls.â&#x20AC;? What they should sue her for, really, as forefathers of the summertime jam, is unleashing such a nauseating hit song on the American public. While the Hollywood blockbuster season for movies is getting smarter (Inception, The Kids Are All Right), â&#x20AC;&#x153;summertime jamsâ&#x20AC;? are increasingly the radio equal to Hollywood blockbustersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;i.e., full of blatant dippiness and cheap thrills designed for how awesome it makes you feel.

But Perryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;California Gurls,â&#x20AC;? which has spent so much of the summer topping the charts, does not make me feel awesome. What does, especially on the way to the beach, or sharing beers in the sunset, or at a backyard barbecue, is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dance Yrself Clean,â&#x20AC;? from LCD Soundsystem, which bank-shots off every border of â&#x20AC;&#x153;summertime jamâ&#x20AC;? to redefine the term. A rant against friends who suffer from diarrhea of the mouth (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Talking like a jerk/ Except you are an actual jerkâ&#x20AC;?), the track explodes three minutes in with thick analogsynth blasts and dirty, dirty high-hats, owing to Talking Heads and Freddie Mercury while paving nine minutes of a future disco.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just one. From Inglewood, Cali Swag District brings us the dancecraze â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teach Me How to Dougie,â&#x20AC;? a razor-thin hip-hop hit hanging on an infectious, simple beat that first made waves in underground circles late last year. Capitol Records cleaned out the

E7B6 / >3@@G =< B=> The search for an unâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Katy Perry hit leads many directions.

bad words and rereleased it this May; it still sounds ultrafresh, and continues to inspire uploaded dance videos of 4-year-olds dancing the dougie in the driveway.

Dancing finds a lonely space in Robynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dancing on My Own,â&#x20AC;? an instant contagion advisable to avoid if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want it stuck in your head for the next month. Cribbing Billy Idolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dancing With Myself â&#x20AC;? concept, the song finds Robyn (a former Swedish teen-pop star whose new album opens with a song titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Fucking Tell Me What to Doâ&#x20AC;?) self-assured on the dance f loor even while the object of her affection goes home with someone else. And Lord, the hooks are insane.

Is there any hit more tailor-made for

summertime status than â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tightrope,â&#x20AC;?

by Janelle Monae? A rebuke to haters through deft dance moves and killer cadences sung in Monaeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aretha-like voice, the song tacks on two minutes of call-and-response shouts, horn riffs, ukulele breaks and strings well past the usual three-minute mark; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the rare song with a Big Boi verse where the Bog Boi verse isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the highlight.

Listen to it once and be transformed.

Transformation is the game on M.I.A.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new album, nowhere more so than in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Steppinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Up,â&#x20AC;? with its rhythmic cacophony of lugnut drills; it manages to make the ridiculous phrase â&#x20AC;&#x153;subba-sub-a-sub-subâ&#x20AC;? sound ill. Similarly, sampling Annie Lennoxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;No More I Love Yousâ&#x20AC;? is a terrible idea on paper; Nicki Minaj owns it for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your Love.â&#x20AC;?

(â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bloody hell,â&#x20AC;? M.I.A. recently quipped, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nicki Minaj runs things.â&#x20AC;?) Minaj has been a prolific filthy-guest-verse rapper in the past, and if the slow burn of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your Loveâ&#x20AC;? earns some overdue recognition, it will have justified its existence.

But no summertime jam this year fills the role like â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m With You,â&#x20AC;?

by Best Coast, a.k.a. Bethany Cosentino.

Cosentino loves cats, smokes weed and has a drummer who routinely wears a bunny suit; sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also written the carefree beach party hit of the year. If the Beach Boys can shake any money out of Katy Perry, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be wise to kick a chunk to Best Coast for keeping their California dream aliveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the sunsets, the sand, the surf and the salvation of sloppily swapping saliva.

1/::32 C> Michael Beenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s band the Call has been called the most underrated band in history.

Michael Been: 1950-2010

T

HERE ARE cult bands, and then there are cult bands.

Fans of the Ramones or the Misfits, for example, may treat them like cult bands, quick to point out that they were so far ahead of their time that the mainstream simply didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to do with them until long after they were gone, when they were vindicated by a rise to legendary status.

But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fans of bands like the Call that truly feel the pain of knowing their musical heroes have no hope of ever really getting the recognition they deserve, and are in danger of being lost to pop culture history altogether. In Michael Beenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, it either makes it better or worse that one of those fans was Peter Gabriel, who once called him â&#x20AC;&#x153;the future of American music.â&#x20AC;?

But when Been died last week of a heart attack, he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dazzling fans of the Call, the band he formed in Santa Cruz in 1980, with a new albumâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in fact, the band hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

recorded in 10 years. He wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t touring the stadiums that fans thought he deserved to be filling. Instead, the uniquely talented songwriter was doing sound engineering work for his sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s band, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Nothing against BRMC, but where was the music Been still had yet to makeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a follow-up to the gorgeous sonic landscape of the Callâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1984 album Scene Beyond Dreams? Or even something, anything, to piggyback on the brief boost the band got when Al Gore used â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let the Day Beginâ&#x20AC;? in his presidential campaign?

Because of Beenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local connection (and the Callâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s connection to the Doobie Brothers), heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be remembered well in this area, at least. But his untimely death only underscores that his work never seemed finished.

Certainly, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t supposed to end like this.

Creature Feature

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Animal Kingdomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; an impressive thriller 0G @716/@2 D=< 0CA/19

S

UPPOSEDLY, an Old West mountain man is listening to a recently arrived civilian describing the Apaches: â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the difference between right and wrong!â&#x20AC;? The Westerner replies, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you wrong one and see what happens.â&#x20AC;? That story comes to mind when watching the tense Aussie noir Animal Kingdom by David Michod.

The main character here is the softheaded, morally childlike J (James Frecheville)â&#x20AC;&#x201D;a hulking sad sack with a dim constellation of acne around his downturned, too-small mouth. His mom dies of a heroine overdose, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken into the scary embrace of his Ma Barkerish grandmother (the incredible Jacki Weaver) and her brood of career criminals.

J ends up caught in the war between the crooked Melbourne drug squad and the family. Casualties are mounting. One soldier in this fight is a police detective (Guy Pearce) of uncertain honesty. The nightmarish Ben Mendelsohn is the clanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mastermind, referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pope.â&#x20AC;?

Despite its undeniable force and often sensational acting, Animal Kingdom doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really snap together. The pace is erratic, and it seems more so because of Michodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice of emphasisâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;what he includes and what he deletes.

If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing most modern Australian films have in common itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a

haze: a dreaminess, in which the harsh edges blur. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like the 1970s never ended there. The everyday critic proposes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the sun-blasted quality of Australia that filmmakers are trying to capture.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably too easy, and it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wash because Animal Kingdom is set in Melbourne, a colder city. And thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only one sequence thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specifically out of the ring of suburbs, sinister motels and courtrooms. That sequence takes place when a wanted criminal makes a hopeless attempt to run out into the bush. Then the camera goes wide and shows us a traditional sunburnt Australian wideopen space, with no cover except for a couple of wide-apart trees.

But here, when key characters make a turn from passive to active, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel completely prepared, even if the surprise works. You can sometimes feel left hung out to dry in mid-scene. Nevertheless, Animal Kingdom is an impressive thriller.

The finale is a shocker. And if the movie raises more questions than it answers, it resolves the story of J with explosive emphasis. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a grown-up animal at last.

ANIMAL KINGDOM (R; 120 min.), directed by David Michod and starring Guy Pearce, Jacki Weaver and James Frecheville, opens Friday at the Nickelodeon.

(R; 103 min.) Director/ co-writer/star Sylvester Stallone rounds up the cast of most of the action movies of the past few decades as mercenaries for an assault on the vile island of Vilena, a Caribbean dictatorship run by an evil general, who is the sock-puppet for CIA swine Eric Roberts. Turning the private army of El General into what Terry Crewesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hale Caesar accurately describes as â&#x20AC;&#x153;red sausageâ&#x20AC;? is the aim of the aged if still muscular lugs.

Kevin Kline delivers a wonderful performance as Henry Harrison, an oddball, aging gentleman who believes that the education system has led to the demise of women and who has an affinity for Christmas balls.

The film follows Louis Ives (Paul Dano) after he loses his job as a Princeton English professor and decides to move to Manhattan to pursue his dream as a writer.

Louis, with his almost unnatural liking for F. Scott Fitzgerald, finds Harrisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life exciting and decides to become an â&#x20AC;&#x153;extra man.â&#x20AC;? Directors Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini (American Splendor) create a world of eccentrics, but with so much going on in one film, they all get lost in a maze of awkwardness. (JN) 53B :=E (PG-13; 100 min.) In the 1930s South, a hermit named Felix Bush (Robert Duvall) emerges from his decades of solitude. He drives his mule cart into a nearby small town and makes plans for his funeral, which he intends to have while heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still alive. He finds no trouble with this idea from the local mortician (Bill Murray).

Part of the draw will be Bush publicly telling the secret that made him hide his face in the woods for so many years. Murray, wearing a suspicious-looking mustache, fur-collared suits and a horseshoe pin, is the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saving grace; he has the true comedianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solitude and toast-dry humor, an eloquent wince at boredom and a consoling

(R; 137 min.) This second installment in the Stieg Larsson series brings back Noomi Rapaceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ratty but invincible urchin Lisbeth Salander.

Shortly after Lisbethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return to Stockholm, her old nemesis of a parole officer starts stirring up trouble. Meanwhile, trustworthily pockmarked investigative journalist Mikael (Michael Nyqvist) meets a new writer. He and his sociologist girlfriend are trying to expose the sex-slave trade conducted out of the former Soviet Union, apparently abetted by the Sapo, the Swedish Secret Police.

Salander is an oldfashioned pulp heroine in a pulp plot. (RvB) 7<13>B7=< (PG-13; 148

The film is audacious and frequently thrilling, especially when Nolan folds Paris in on itself and Escherizes interior spaces.

(RvB) B63 972A /@3 /:: @756B (R; 111 min.)

Crisis occurs when a very settled lesbian marriage is challenged by the arrival of the sperm donor (Mark Ruffalo) who fathered one of the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children.

Julianne Moore as a classic California girl: no intellectual, very earthy, a blurter-out of things she probably shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have said; Annette Bening, amusingly dour, is her hard-working spouse.

Director Lisa Cholodenko and co-writer Stuart Blumberg takes their film away from the realm of the typical gay and lesbian film fest talkathon and up to speed with the blogs, Alison Bechdelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cartoons Dykes to Watch Out For and with the fiction of Mary Gaitskill. As a director, Cholodenko is a dry, tough-minded wit.

But the way she analyzes the needy, unpretty cores of these characters is what

takes The Kids Are All Right out of the realm of the domestic comedy/drama and makes it a film to remember. (RvB) ;/=¸A :/AB 2/<13@

(PG-13; 107 min.) Two disgraced copsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Allen (Will Ferrell) and Terry (Mark Wahlberg)â&#x20AC;&#x201D;hope to claim the roles of star detectives held by fellow detectives P.K. (Samuel L. Jackson) and Christopher (Dwayne Johnson).

Ferrellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Allen is a socially awkward detective just looking to get through each day by handling the accounting side of police work. Wahlbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Terry provides the kind of extreme vexation that having to deal with Ferrellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character on a daily basis inevitably leads to. Despite some excellent comedy pairing by the leads, Allen lacks the hilarious, goodnatured stupidity of, say,

a Ron Burgundy. Ferrell attempts to use more dry humor here rather than the outsized expressive comedy weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re used to seeing from him. (MM) @3AB@3>= (R; 101 min.)

The Korengal Valley in eastern Afghanistan is the site where reportedly some 70 percent of the ordnance weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve shot off has detonated. About 820 miles almost straight up from the U.S. base there is Restrepo Outpost, named for a slain soldier. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made mostly of plywood and surrounded by sand bags that just slow bullets down. Documentary makers Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington made 10 visits there over the course of a squadronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15-month deployment.

Unlike the bruisers in a Hollywood war movie, the soldiers here look smaller than life. When they lose a comrade, they bawl unashamedly on the spot.

The crystal-clear visuals make Restrepo almost a new kind of war film.

Compact and understated, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essential viewing about the Afghanistan conflict.

Chau (Ellen Wong); he is more obsessed with Ramona Flowers, played

by Mary Elizabeth Winstead, whose nationality (American), multicolored hair (mostly magenta or ultramarine) and romantic history make her seem exotic.

Unfortunately, her ex-lovers are in league against him. Not a bad premise, just a bad carryon. Ultimately, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side in re: Scott Pilgrim. The heavily cyber-treated visuals, from the winter exteriors to grungy basements, close in on you like the walls in an Indiana Jones tomb. Edgar Wright did this kind of material before and better (on TVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spaced); better digital effects and more expensive editorial cleverness canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it fresh. (RvB) B63 AE7B16 (PG-13; 109 min.) Talk about inglourious basters.

Jennifer Aniston, having artificially inseminated her way into motherhood seven years prior, meets up with an old pal (Jason Bateman) with a very interesting confession.

Astrology Free Will

By Rob Brezsny

For the week of September 1 /@73A (March 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;April 19): In an old comedy sketch called â&#x20AC;&#x153;One Leg Too Few,â&#x20AC;? a one-legged man comes in to a casting agentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office to audition for the part of Tarzan in an upcoming show. The agent is as diplomatic as he can be given the fact that the role would best be played by a strapping young man with exceptional running and leaping skills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible that no two-legged men will apply,â&#x20AC;? the agent tells the applicant, â&#x20AC;&#x153;in which case you could get the part.â&#x20AC;?

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be like the one-legged man in this story, Aries.

While I usually encourage you to think big and dream of accomplishing amazing feats, this is one time when you should respect your limitations.

B/C@CA (April 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;May 20): As I was meditating on your horoscope for this week, a song popped into my head: Marvin Gayeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sexual Healing.â&#x20AC;? I instantly knew it was a message from my unconscious, meant to be delivered to your unconsciousâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a perfect action plan for you to pursue in order to be in maximum alignment with the astrological omens. I encourage you to come up with your own interpretation of what â&#x20AC;&#x153;sexual healingâ&#x20AC;? means for you, maybe even write your own lyrics. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to listen to the original for inspiration, go here: tinyurl.com/ SexHealing. P.S. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily need a partner to conjure up the cure.

53;7<7 (May 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June 20): You probably get emails that close like this: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sent from my iPhone.â&#x20AC;?

Maybe you even deliver emails like that yourself.

Keep that detail in mind while I tell you the dream I had last night. In the dream, all of my Gemini friends had sent me poignant emails. Every one of them said something like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get back to where I started fromâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something really important that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to do, but I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember what it isâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hear a voice calling my name but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who it is or where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming from.â&#x20AC;? And each of their emails ended like this: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sent from my iSoul.â&#x20AC;? I suspect my dream is in perfect accordance with your astrological omens, Gemini. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to go home, in every sense of the word.

1/<13@ (June 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;July 22): My name was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Robbieâ&#x20AC;? from birth till seventh grade. But as my adolescent hormones began to kick in, I decided I needed a more virile stature. My name became the punchier, sleeker â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rob.â&#x20AC;? But with every year that passes, I find myself heading back in the direction of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Robbie.â&#x20AC;? The clever severity of my youth yearns to meld with the buoyant tenderness Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been cultivating the past decade. I want my paradoxes to harmonizeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;my blithe feminine qualities to cooperate with my aggressive masculine side, my bright-eyed innocence to synergize with my restless probing. So you can call me â&#x20AC;&#x153;Robbieâ&#x20AC;? if you like, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rob,â&#x20AC;? or sometimes one and sometimes the other.

Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it time for you, too, my fellow Cancerian, to circle back and reclaim an early part of you that got lost along the way? :3= (July 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Aug. 22): The Clash was a leftwing punk band that launched its career in 1979. With its dissident lyrics and experimental music, it aspired to make an impact on political attitudes. But then one of its songs, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rock the Casbah,â&#x20AC;? got so popular that college fraternity parties were playing it as feel-good dance music. That peeved the Clashâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead singer Joe Strummer, born under the sign of Leo. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want his revolutionary anthems to be used as vulgar entertainment by bourgeois kids. I sympathize with his purity, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t advocate that approach for you.

For now, relinquish control of your offerings. Let people use them the way they want to.

D7@5= (Aug. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sept. 22): â&#x20AC;&#x153;The trouble with life

Our specialistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; promise: Your pet will receive the most complete, safe, compassionate and individual care.

isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that there is no answer; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that there are so many answers,â&#x20AC;? said folklorist Ruth Benedict. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always true, of course, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s especially apropos for you right now. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re teeming with viable possibilities. There are so many decent ideas eddying in your vicinity that you may be hard-pressed to pick out just a couple to give your power to. My advice: Let them all swarm and swirl for a few more days, then go with the ones that you feel will last the longest.

:70@/ (Sept. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Oct. 22): Jack Mytton was a famous 19th-century eccentric whose wealth and privilege often shielded him from the consequences of his odd behavior. One of his less successful adventures came on a night when he got a bad case of the hiccups. Thinking he could scare himself into being cured, he set fire to his pajamas. In the ensuing

mayhem, his hiccups disappeared but he burned himself. I bring this to your attention, Libra, in the hope it will dissuade you from attacking a small problem in a way that causes a bigger problem. For now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to endure a slight inconvenience.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seek a quick fix that causes a complicated mess.

A1=@>7= (Oct. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Nov. 21): In accordance with the astrological omens, Scorpio, I will ask you to make everything wetter; to be the personification of f luidity. Where there is drought, use your magic to bring the rain. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stuck in a dynamic that is parched and barren, add moisture and tenderness. Be ingenious, not rash, as you stir up dormant feelings in people you care about. Remind those who are high and dry about the river that runs through them. (A good way to do that is to reveal the river that runs through you.)

A/57BB/@7CA (Nov. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Dec. 21): Gwyneth Paltrow is the most perfect person alive, said Gawker.com. From a certain perspective, I suppose itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible to award her that title. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautiful, rich, famous, and in good shape. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a talented actress and published author. Without denying that Gwyneth is a gem, however, I must say that my standards of perfection are different. Are you doing the work you love? Are you engaged in ongoing efforts to transform your darkness? Do you practice compassion with wit and style? Are you saving the world in some way? Are you skilled at taking care of yourself ? Those are my primary measures. What are yours, Sagittarius? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an excellent time to define your ideal human.

1/>@71=@< (Dec. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jan. 19): In an old Star Trek episode, a 24th-century starship captain is weighed down by a knotty problem about how to deal with two of her enemies who are at war with each other.

Unable to come up with a viable solution, she retreats to the holodeck, where virtual reality technology can create a convincingly real rendition of any desired scene. Where does she go for advice? She seeks out Leonardo da Vinci in his 16th-century studio. Once she has outlined her dilemma, Leonardo offers his counsel: â&#x20AC;&#x153;When oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imagination cannot provide an answer, one must turn to a greater imagination.â&#x20AC;? This is my advice to you right now, Capricorn. /?C/@7CA (Jan. 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Feb. 18): Seth GrahameSmith rewrote Jane Austenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic novel Pride and Prejudice. He kept 85 percent of her material, but also added a big dose of â&#x20AC;&#x153;ultraviolent zombie mayhem,â&#x20AC;? creating a new story, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

In his version, Austenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tale is expanded and altered by the previously unrevealed activities of zombies. I urge you to follow Grahame-Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead, Aquarius.

Take some original creation you really like, and add a shot of your own unique approach to generate a completely new thing. >7A13A (Feb. 19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;March 20): Everyone alive should see the musical comedy I Love You, Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Perfect, Now Change. At the very least, we should all meditate regularly on the playâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title, using it as a self-mocking mantra that dissuades us from committing the folly it describes. How better to serve the health of our relationships than by withdrawing the projections we superimpose on people, thereby allowing them to be themselves? Right now youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in special need of honoring this wisdom, Pisces. If you feel the itch to tell friends and loved ones that they should be different from how they actually are, stop and ask yourself whether maybe you should transform yourself instead.
