NE OF the great themes of all poetry and all literature of all time is death,â&#x20AC;? says Stephen Kessler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is this sense poetry is some kind of ticket to immortality if it is great enough, so I think that poets become aware earlier of mortalityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;their own and everyone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.â&#x20AC;?

Reducing themes of life and literature to their very essence is part of a poetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work, but Kesslerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;local poet, translator, essayist, editor and novelistâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;has particular reason to dwell on such thoughts these days. He will be one of four poets who will read at the inaugural Morton Marcus Memorial Poetry Reading this Saturday, Nov. 6, at Cabrillo College in honor of his friend and colleague Morton Marcus, who passed away

a year ago last month. Kessler, along with Joseph Stroud, who taught at Cabrillo with Marcus, and Gary Young, Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Poet Laureate, will each read a few selections from Marcusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final book of poetry, The Dark Figure in the Doorway, released this month. Joining them will be two-time Poet Laureate of the United States and winner of the Pulitzer Prize Robert Hass, whose friendship with Marcus stretches back to the 1960s, when they traded poems and mixed at literary parties in San Francisco.

The tradition of memorial readings, in which one speaker takes the lectern to honor and remember a late colleague, dates back as far as the tradition of public speaking itselfâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;honoring the dead was one of the three occasions for public speech in ancient Greece (political and

legal purposes were the others). Poets, more than practitioners of any other trade, carried forward the tradition to its modern incarnation, maybe for the reasons Kessler alluded to, and have been successful because, quite simply, they have a way with words. Kessler, for example, once compared Marcus to â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Giant Dipper or Mt. Umunumâ&#x20AC;? for his prominence in the Santa Cruz cultural landscape. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appropriate praise: during his life Marcus published 12 volumes of poetry, a novel and a memoir, placed hundreds of poems in magazines and anthologies, produced a 16part history of film and co-hosted a radio show about poetry and a television show on film. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frequently credited with fostering the fledgling literary scene in early 1970s Santa Cruz. ¨

An appearance from a poet of Hassâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stature (among other distinctions, his rĂŠsumĂŠ includes a National Book Award, a Pulitzer prize, a MacArthur â&#x20AC;&#x153;geniusâ&#x20AC;? grant and two terms as U.S. Poet Laureate) would be a coup for the community regardless of the occasion. It is particularly appropriate, though, for a number of reasons. There is the fact Hass is one of the best-known practitioners of the West Coast style, under which rubric Marcusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most popular anthology, The Santa Cruz Mountain Poems, would be classified; the fact that Marcus was champion of the arts, bringing a number of well-known poets to read Santa Cruz throughout the years; and finally the fact that early in their careers, the two men shared poems and a friendship with one another that left a lasting impression on Hass.

Trading Verses Hass recalls first meeting Marcus not long after Marcusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 1968 arrival in California (by way of New York) to teach at Cabrillo College, and though he says he forgets the exact context, it was probably a literary party in San

Francisco. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were young poets hanging around the area, and there were parties from time to time,â&#x20AC;? he says. (He is making a bit of an understatement, as one can imagine the characters milling around the punch bowl likely included some of the most recognizable voices in modern American literature.)

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until Hass moved back to the Bay Area a few years later following a brief teaching stint in New York that he would, on occasion, gather with Marcus, Joseph Stroud and Charles Simic (who would also go on to be U.S. Poet Laureate, but was at the time teaching at CSU Hayward) to read each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a period when we, before we got too busy, were closest friends. In those days we would trade poems before they were published,â&#x20AC;?

Hass says.

It was those early years of swapping poems with Marcus that established the impression that persists in Hassâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; memory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mort was a generous, bighearted, sociable guy, funny, pleasure-tobe-with, but there is this terrific streak of melancholy in his poetry that if you ¨ !

1=D3@ AB=@G j 3:35G 4=@ / 4=@13 =4 </BC@3 knew him and you knew the poetry, you would know.â&#x20AC;? It forges a very particular kind of bond, Hass says of trading work with other poets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are interested in the technicalityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;there is that kind of bonding that is not very different than the bonding of relief pitchersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but then there is a difference of getting to know people, because in poetry at its best there is this intimacy. . . .There is something intimate about what you know about people from reading their poems.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mort really believed in bringing a poet to the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what this is really all about. And heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be extremely pleased to know that Robert Hass is the first reader.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Marcus is best remembered locally for sharing his poetry not with future laureates but with emerging voices, in a community series that brought poets of different levels and tastes into the same fold. In an interview conducted a few years ago, Marcus recalled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cabrillo was a community college, and in those days you did things for the community, so they said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If any of you people have any ideas youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to do in the community, let us know.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And I went straight to the community services guy and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a poetry series here; letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s start a poetry series.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? The series he started was one of the first of its kind in the area, and is credited with connecting poets with one another, creating a space

and an audience for their work and, ultimately, one of the most vibrant literary communities of its time.

Joseph Stroud was hired to teach at Cabrillo the same year as Marcus; the two were even given offices next door to one another, and kept them for more than 30 years. Stroud recalls, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started doing readings just at some of the local restaurantsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;there was a reading series at Zacharyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for a long time, and at The Oak Room, and then of course the Cabrillo series.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mort had very cosmopolitan tastes, so we had Michael McClure, Allan Ginsburg and Robert Bly, but he also really believed in helping young poets get their start, so it was where many of the young poets in the area had their very first reading.â&#x20AC;? The annual Mort Marcus Memorial Reading is intended to carry on the tradition Marcus began in the 1970s, Stroud says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mort really believed in bringing a poet to the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what this is really all about. And heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be extremely pleased to know that Robert Hass is the first reader.â&#x20AC;?

Dead Poets Society It is a pleasure that is shared by Hass. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt quite honored to be invited to be the reader at the first reading to honor and remember Mort,â&#x20AC;? he says.

The invitation was particularly poignant because in recent years Hass and Marcus saw each other less frequently. There was one occasion in particular that they continued to run in to each other, though, Hass says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would always see him at memorial readings, because one of the things poets do is gather to remember a poet.â&#x20AC;?

Remembering, it seems is the poetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief pursuitâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;poets were the ones who first made elegy an art, and, Hass says, there are subcategories even more specific. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a genre of poemâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a younger poet remembering an older one,â&#x20AC;? he continues, ticking a few off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;John Miltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lycidas,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Shelleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elegy on John Keats . . .â&#x20AC;? Though he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mention it, he has contributed a poem to this tradition as well. In â&#x20AC;&#x153;After Coleridge and For Milosz: Late July,â&#x20AC;?

Hass remembers his colleague Czeslaw Milosz, the Nobel Prize-winning poet whose work he translated from Polish: . . . I think of the old manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dark study jammed with books in seven languages as the headquarters of his military campaign ¨ "

1=D3@ AB=@G j 3:35G against nothingness. Immense egoism in it, of course, the narcissism of a wound, but actual making, actual work. One of the things he believed was that our poems could be better than our motives. So who cares why he wrote the lines about the hairstyle of his piano teachers of his piano teacher in Wilno in the 1920s or the building with sumpy baroque cornices that collapsed on her in 1942...

The poem appears in his newest collection, The Apple Trees at Olema, published earlier this year, from which heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll read at the event. He says he may also try to track down a few of the poems he and Marcus swapped with each other. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wordsworth has a line: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We Poets in our youth begin in gladness . . .â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Hass pauses, forgetting the exact wording, but a quick Google search later produces it: â&#x20AC;&#x153;But thereof comes in the end despondency and madness.â&#x20AC;?

The quote is illustrative not so much for the implications of â&#x20AC;&#x153;despondency and madness,â&#x20AC;? but specifically for the fact that that is the part Hass forgot.

Remembering the gladness of the early days of his and Marcusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; career is mostly what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been concerned with lately. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My experience was that when I was starting to write in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s, we poets would get together whenever we got a chance and the parties were quite hilarious and wild in those days,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But as you get older, you spend more time with your family and things.

In the last 10 years of his life we would exchange books when we published them, and as I said, we would see each other at memorial readings, when someone dies. That just seems to be how it is, that relationships have to be sustained on proximity as you get older.â&#x20AC;?

THE FIRST ANNUAL MORTON MARCUS MEMORIAL POETRY READING featuring Robert Hass, Gary Young, Joseph Stroud and Stephen Kessler will be held Saturday, Nov. 6, at 7:30pm at the Music Recital Hall, Cabrillo College, 6500 Soquel Dr., Aptos. Free tickets are available at the Cabrillo College Bookstore, UCSC McHenry Library, BookShop Santa Cruz and Bookworks in Aptos. If ticket outlets no longer have tickets, please come to the Recital Hall on the night of the event, as ticketholders who do not claim their seats by 7:30pm will have their seats given away to the waiting list.

B63 >7@/B3A E6= @=1932 B63 0@7BA SANTA CRUZâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S pirate radio station broadcasts from an undisclosed basement location under looming criminal charges and has been hunted for 15 years. Thrilling stuffâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but nothing like the travails of the crew that ran Radio Caroline in the 1960s, when the British authorities went on the warpath against the music that was possessing nice English boys and girls and turning them into little lunatics.

Canadian DJ Tom Lodge shows what a little airtime can do for a generation bent on the agony and the ecstasy of rock & roll in his memoir, The Ship That Rocked the World, which recounts the pirate days when Radio Caroline took to the sea and broadcasted rock from a clanking Danish passenger ferry, powering around the coast of the United Kingdom and disseminating the music of the Beatles, the Who and the Kinks to a nation strangled by the BBC and stiff Victorian programs.

Alongside Irishman Ronan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Rahilly, Lodge, now a Santa Cruz Mountains Zen master who goes by the name of Umi, helped launch the British invasion and braved the wrath of an establishment set on upholding the status quo. Lodgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book captures the spirit of the era in sound bites recognizable to all and includes a memorable transcript from a painfully awkward interview with John Lennon and crew. He recalls the songs he was airing at every one of Radio Carolineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major crossroads and recounts how the inventive pirate crew dodged regulations raining down like hail. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an adventure story that finds the pirates up to their necks in rock stars and Her Majestyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Navy, and one that might have a few pointers for Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own radio outlaws. (Kate Jacobson) TOM LODGE reads from â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Ship That Rocked the Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;How Radio Caroline Defied the Establishment, Launched the British Invasion, and Made the Planet Safe for Rock and Rollâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on Tuesday, Nov. 9, at 7:30pm at Capitola Book CafĂŠ, 1475 41st Ave, Capitola.

475C@32 =CB HUMAN EYES are drawn to it first, irresistibly, no matter what the vista. Some anthropologists say that our popular culture is obsessed with it, even worships it. We certainly know nothing quite as completely as we know it: the human figure. That quadrilimbed shape dances along the roofs of caves, the unmistakable mark of humankind from the time our species harnessed fire and hunted with pointed sticks. We know it so well that, with only a hint, a figure becomes a storyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a woman gleefully dances, a man runs away fearfully, two estranged people long for unionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the essence of a gesture can be conveyed in a few strokes of a pen, a simple shape. We also know immediately when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something not quite right. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why working from the figure is the staple of every art school in the Western world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The National Figurative Showâ&#x20AC;? at the Santa Cruz Art League attracted submissions from artists nationwide. I was impressed with every ceramic sculpture represented, and remembered that figurative work surprisingly dominated the national Ceramics Annual in San Francisco a few months ago. 97;03@:G 1==9â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Marriage of Heaven and Hell could have lived happily among that â&#x20AC;&#x153;best of the bestâ&#x20AC;? crowd. Her gasp-inducing dreamâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or nightmareâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;figure that morphs into a house that totters on a Rococo-ish base is a marvel of technique within a dynamic composition, all perfect glistening reds and lustrous gold glazes as counterpoint for flatter, unearthly whites.

4@32 G=93: built the charmingly abstracted voluminous

leaning torso of Howâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d This Happen? with flattened coils so crisp and defined that the coils themselves become the story within a spot-on gesture. The rich surfaces of both of his sculptures here draw the eye into the works, as elegant as they are droll.

8C:7/ 473:2 provokes a different response with her children at play, notably Ready or Not, first by sculpting them with knowing restraint, then painting a world on a leg, a skirt, a torso.

Every style is represented on the wall. Two oils by @=A 0=E<A, especially Knee, are meticulously rendered then blown apart in a Francis Baconâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;like distortion. The distinctive expressionistic style of A34:/ 8=A3>6 and C@AC:/ =¸4/@@3:: invigorates the room. 6AC/< 163 163<â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s airy realism is sparklingly deployed in Drifting while 0C@B :3D7BA97 and 1:/@9 :=C7A 5CAA7< hearken to the Flemish Masters in their deep, meticulously rendered luminosity. E 2=E<3G 2G3@â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impressionistic boys on the beach is charming while /<<73 ;C@>6G @=07<A=<â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dordogne uses charcoal like a carving chisel. 16/@:3A >@3<B7AAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sure touch radiates in Hilda. ;37 G7<5 23::¸/?C7:/â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health Care has all the wild boldness of a monumental mural while 2/D3 :30=E uses an Ash Can School looseness to create amazing mythical tales.

Though theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re now the elder statesmen of a popular form of highly danceable reggae, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always thus for Grammy winners Steel Pulse.

They had plenty of trouble getting bookings in their early days, and their Rastafarian reggae anthems werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t making any friends in the Britsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; club scene. Steel Pulse represents the ideals of a community that has been historically dragged around, and besides the ganja, their lyrics push pan-African pride and Rastafari beliefs. And although they picked up some pop and, most recently, hip-hop on the journey to recognition, they remain admirably loyal to their roots.

Sean Hayes is the sort of under-theradar singer/songwriter too eccentric for the mainstream and too earnest and eclectic for the underground.

As such, he has never really fit into any particular scene or style. But for those who can look past his lack of cultural cache (or who see that as an advantage,) the San Francisco musician is a compelling cross between a traveling troubadour and a seer. Hayes adheres to the American folk tradition but is no revivalist, often collaborating with DJs and electronic artists to give his rustic strains a postmodern sheen.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s these qualities that confound the people in marketing but define Hayes as a true original. Moeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alley; $15 adv/ $18 door; 9pm. (Paul M. Davis)

Drawing comparisons to Joni Mitchell, Nina Simone and Norah Jones is a high bar for any musician to approach, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one that Meklit Hadero seems to soar over with ease. The Ethopianborn, San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;based Hadero is graced with a warm and magnificent voice, a songwriterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart and a dynamic range and delivery that floats from note to note like a butterfly on a lazy summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day.

Imbued with the emotion of soul, the timing of jazz, the storytelling of the blues and the humanness of global folk music, Hadero creates songs that are unique, lovely and personal. Don Quixoteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s; $12 adv/$15 door; 7:30pm.

Their hard-hitting delivery and quick-stepping tempos give the Austin-based duo a Bowie-meetsâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Daft Punk, back-to-the-future vibe, but their minimalist approach to sonic textures leaves plenty of room for poetic lyrics and impassioned vocals that fall somewhere between Prince, Freddie Mercury and Marc Bolan, and lend an organic element to the glam-fabulous affair.

The Portland duo is something of a counterpoint to the stadium-rock ambitions of another famous duo, the White Stripes; Hillstomp prefers to remain in the camp of garage-blues eccentrics such as Bob Log III, Jack Oblivian and Scott H. Biram. But where many of their contemporaries land on the shores of a singular American Primitive aesthetic and remain there, Hillstomp is much more restless, with a wide scope and versatility at odds with its humble ambitions. The bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest, Darker the Night, is its most realized statement to date. Crepe Place; $10; 9pm. (PMD)

8344 :=@03@ 4CA7=< Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to take the position that sticking within a single genre produces nothing that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already been heard, and that if there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t some kind of fusion going on then it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t count.

Former session man for jazz MVPs such as Dave Koz and Herb Alpert, Jeff Lorber plugged his jazz/rock/funk amalgam into an electrical outlet and created his own personal genre in the process. Eric Marienthal on sax, Jimmy Haslip on bass and Will Kennedy on drums join Lorber on his funkiest foray to date. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dancey mix that lends itself to hip-hop sampling, different but familiar in the way people digest a freak Indian summer followed by heavy rain.

Shimmering indie-pop collective Stars rode on the coattails of the success of fellow Canadians The Arcade Fire and Broken Social Scene (with whom they share members.) Since then, they have proven themselves to be every bit the equal of their higher-profile siblings. The songs demonstrate a fluency with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;00s indie rock, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s synth-pop and choice bits of late-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s emo, presenting an exquisite sonic bedrock for the harrowing breakup tales that singers Torquil Campbell and Amy Millan detail. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exquisitely crafted turn-out-the-lights music for the kind of heartache that lingers long after the relationship ends. Rio Theatre; $18; 8pm.

B63 <3D3@ 3<27<5 AB=@G (1984) The

classic German-made fantasy film about a young boy who holes up in his attic reading a book about the land of Fantasia, a boy warrior named Atreyu, the luckdragon Falcor and a mysterious force called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Nothing,â&#x20AC;? only to find himself implicated in the story as he reads. (Plays Thu 8pm at Santa Cruz 9.) @/13 /1@=AA B63 A9G (Unrated; 120 min.)

Dave Wiens and Lance Armstrong star in a documentary film about the 2009 Leadville Trail 100 Mountain Bike Race. Competitors are given just 12 hours to complete the race that stretches across 100 miles and climbs 14,000 vertical feet. (Plays Thu 8:30pm and Tue at 7:30pm at Santa Cruz 9.)

AB=<3 (R; 105 min.)

See review, page 31.

(Opens Fri at Del Mar.)

@3D73EA 1=<D71B7=< (R; 107 min.) Hilary Swank stars in a biopic about Betty Ann Waters, a single working mother who put herself through law school in order to appeal a murder charge brought against her brother Kenneth, played by Sam Rockwell.

3/AG / (PG-13; 95 min.) High school girl Olive (Emma Stone) gets her reputation ruined and decides to revel in it, accessorizing her outfits with the scarlet A she just read about in Nathaniel Hawthorne in English class. An urbane and sly comedy, vastly superior to Juno; the appealing lead name-checks John Hughes films but this surpasses his conformist work, despite director Will Gluckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tendency to shoot the exteriors of

Ojai homes with Nancy Meyersâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;like fussiness.

Good work by Patricia Clarkson and Stanley Tucci as Oliveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debonair parents; Scripter Bert V. Royalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gags are almost syncopatedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t relentless joke-joke-joke.

The laughs come with the grace of a word to the wise, and the sense on how to emphasize sting at just the right time. (RvB) 63@3/4B3@ (PG-13;

129 min.) The opening of this dull, morose and oatmeal-colored drama is a f lawlessly animated tsunami. Swept into the tide and clonked by an automobile, Parisian journalist Marie LeLay (CĂŠcile De France) is rescued just as she has a vision of human beings standing around a glowing plaza. She has seen the Hereafter itself; so has San Francisco psychic Matt Damon. Meanwhile a pair of twins in London, separated by death, try to reconnect.

Bland and slow, the film seems as if it will never get started, and the afterworld is neither sinister nor inspirational. (RvB) 7B¸A 97<2 =4 / 4C<<G AB=@G

(PG-13; 101 minutes) Based on the novel

by Ned Vizzini, about a depressed teenager (played by Keir Gilchrist) who checks himself into a psychiatric hospital.

8/19/AA 7< ! 2 (R;

93 min.) (R; 94 min.)

Undeniably visceral entertainment, and sometimes hilarious.

This cornerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motto is, as always, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what you laugh at that makes you a moron, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you cry at.â&#x20AC;? One of the stuntmen taunting an ornery ram with blasts from a sousaphone is carrying on the frontier humor tradition of Mark Twainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;His Grandfatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Old Ram.â&#x20AC;?

The difference is that the ram in the Twain tale is left frozen in space, while this furious sheep attacks about a dozen times. The tormenterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yelp to the beast as he gets severely buttedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why?â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;is easily the most hilarious thing in the movie.

Genial but horrible ringleader Johnny Knoxville is to a rodeo clown what a wealthy rock star is to a Delta blues picker: someone getting rich from a rich tradition. So, Jackass may only just seem like the end of Western civilization; some of the slapstick horrors here are true-life versions of favorites from Keystone comedies: the guy in the gorilla suit, the dog that goes straight for the seat of the pants, the irritable donkey.

Some of the tortures are a little too close to the Roman Empireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s method of handling dissidents, and a couple of the bits here are serious lunch-avulsers.

The 3-D helps one get most of the popular bodily fluids right in the face, if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your idea of fun. (RvB) :353<2 =4 B63 5C/@27/<A (PG;

97 min.)

min.) In what the studio has promised will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Final Chapterâ&#x20AC;? of the Saw series, the survivors of Jigsawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traps and psychological games join in a therapy group led by a one-time Jigsaw victim-turnedself-help-guru.

A31@3B/@7/B (PG; 116 minutes) Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s riddle: When is a horse a bum steer? I was ready to believe that Seabiscuit ended the Depression.

You have to give a good film some slack.

I was alive in 1973, the year Secretariat won the Triple Crown. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recall his victory healing our divisions over the Vietnam War, though director Randall Wallace

coaxes us to believe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true. Secretariat is inbredâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the offspring of too many similar sports films. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relentlessly thickâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;custard-thickâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; and cheap-looking, too, and its story is as fishy as 3-day-old salmon; it tries to make an underhorse out of a very blueblooded steed.

Diane Lane, ordinarily a fine actress, gets no help from the script which seems to be trying to make her an anti-heroine. Lane plays thoroughbred breeder Penny Chenery.

Ultimately, Secretariat is more fundraising pitch than racetrack action.

(RvB) B63 A=17/: <3BE=@9 (PG-13;

120 min.) Fiendishly clever and funny movie about the creation of an Internet monster.

As Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Jesse Eisenberg gives a master class on recessive acting: heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beady eyed and covert, with the occasional pit-viper-like sway of a truculent, lowered forehead. The film shuttles between the present-day deposition of the now arrogantly rich Zuckerberg, as heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sued by a quartet of burned partners (among them his former best friend Eduardo, played

by Andrew Garfield).

In flashback, we see his own historyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a Jewish student at WASP-ridden

Harvard, a social reject whose grudge-hacking was his entry into fame.

Later, Zuckerberg meets the founder of Napster, Sean Parkerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;played

by Justin Timberlake, excellent as a happy wastrel. Aaron Sorkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wild, witty script hands out punishment that goes beyond the financial penalties: this is a comedy in the Balzac sense, a balancing act; the mockery and the disgust for greed matches the essential lightness of the situation.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only Facebook, after all. (RvB) B63 B=E< (R; 125

min.) Routine plotting, if some rousing action sequences, in this Boston crime drama with Ben Affleck, a hunk-sized hole in the screen. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the old two-brothers plot, foster brothers though they be: Affleck as criminal paragon and his younger nutty-buddy Jim (Jeremy Renner of The Hurt Locker) ready to lash out and hurt someone. We keep waiting for Jon Hammâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unshaven FBI agent Frawley to rattle the cages. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Blake Lively, as an Oxycontin-fancying tramp, who gets the brunt of Hammâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s power; she does some excellent reacting to a little bar-side lecture Hamm gives about a $20 bill. Rebecca Hall has too much presence to be just the girl whose entry into the plot

causes friction between the two main thieves.

The much-rewritten script is choppy and undermotivated, though Chris Cooper and Pete Postlethwaite are outstanding in tiny roles.

(RvB) E/7B7<5 4=@ AC>3@;/< (PG; 102

min.) The vast problems of the U.S. public school system distilled into a quick documentary.

Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth) follows five young students as they try to get into private schools.

(One is eighth-grader Emily of Redwood City, whose parents are concerned that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be pushed onto a noncollege track.)

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guggenheimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contention that school funding has doubled while test scores continue to descend.

Yet this documentary has the kind of ideology even Meg Whitman can wrap herself around: you can watch it and come to the conclusion that privatization and union-busting is the answerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the same answer weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been given since the 1980s.

This may not have been Guggenheimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intention.

But as always in this passionate-intensity style documentary, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the possibility of deliberate misreading, thanks to the lethal combo of stridency and slipperiness. (RvB)

G=C E7:: ;33B / B/:: 2/@9 AB@/<53@ (R; 98

min.) Terminally awkward London-set comedy drama. The title transforms a fortune tellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prediction into a sentence of doom, as per the line in Allenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cassandraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dream: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only ship sure to come in has black sails.â&#x20AC;? Here is Allenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s customary theme: given the certainty of death and the absence of God, how to conduct oneself ? Better than these characters. Helena (Gemma Jones) and her husband, Alfie (Anthony Hopkins), have split, due to his terror of dying. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken consolation with a ÂŁ500 a night prostitute named Charmaine (the wonderful Lucy Punch). Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seeing a psychic and drinking a bit, though Allen doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand what this boozing might entail as either comedy or drama; alcohol is not his thing.

Meanwhile, the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter (Naomi Watts) is struggling with her own career as her husband, Roy (Josh Brolin), wrestles with his unpublishable novel. Roy has his own obsession with a girl across the courtyard (Frida Pinto, almost audibly pleading for direction). Punch is the salt of this movie, a leggy comedian who makes even the minor dumb blonde jokes sail.

Astrology Free Will

By Rob Brezsny

For the week of November 3 ARIES (March 21–April 19): In Marcel Proust’s novel In Search of Lost Time, one of the characters makes a vulgar observation about the odd attractions that sometimes come over us human beings: “Anyone who falls in love with a dog’s behind will mistake it for a rose.” It’s my duty to point out that the opposite occurs, too. People may think a marvelous thing is worthless, and dislike it or ignore it as a result. Van Gogh’s paintings, for example: He sold only one while he was alive, although today his work is regarded as extraordinarily beautiful. My advice to you, Aries, is to avoid both of these errors in the coming week.

TAURUS (April 20–May 20): Poet Paul Eluard frequently fantasized and wrote about his dream woman, but he never actually found her. “The cards have predicted that I would meet her but not recognize her,” he said. So he contented himself with being in love with love. I think he made a sound decision that many of us should consider emulating.

It’s a losing proposition to wait around hoping for a dream lover to show up in our lives, since no one can ever match the idealized image we carry around in our imagination. And even if there were such a thing as a perfect mate, we would probably not recognize that person, as Eluard said, because they’d be so different from our fantasy. Having said all that, Taurus, I’m happy to inform you that the next two months will be prime time for you to cultivate your connection with an imperfect beauty who’s good for you.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20): When you begin treatment with a homeopathic doctor, his or her first task is to determine your “constitutional,” which is the remedy that serves as your fundamental medicine— the tonic you take to keep your system balanced and functioning smoothly. Mine used to be “aurum,” or gold, but due to certain shifts in my energy, my doctor ultimately changed it to “lac lupinum,” or wolf ’s milk.

After analyzing your astrological omens, I’m guessing that you might need a similar adjustment in the regimen that keeps you healthy. Your body’s needs seem to be evolving. Consider making some changes in the food you eat, the sleep you get, the exercise you do, and the love you stir up.

CANCER (June 21–July 22): “Freedom is in the unknown,” said philosopher John C. Lilly. “If you believe there is an unknown everywhere, in your own body, in your relationships with other people, in political institutions, in the universe, then you have maximum freedom.” I think this is the most important thought you could meditate on right now, Cancerian. You are close to summoning the magic that would allow you to revel in what’s unknown about everything and everyone you love. And that would dramatically invigorate your instinct for freedom.

LEO (July 23–Aug. 22): The first time I ever planted a garden was last summer. It wasn’t easy. The soil in my backyard was hard clay that I could barely penetrate with a shovel. Luckily, a helpful clerk at the garden store revealed a solution: gypsum. All I had to do was pour the white powder on my intransigent dirt and wet it down for a few days. The stuff performed as advertised on the package: It “worked like millions of tiny hoes,” loosening the heavy clay.

A week later I was able to begin planting. In the coming days, Leo, I think you could benefit from the metaphorical equivalent of a million tiny hoes. You’ve got to break down a hard surface to create a soft bed for your seeds.

VIRGO (Aug. 23–Sept. 22): Recent research suggests that yawning raises alertness, enhances cognitive awareness, reduces stress, and strengthens the part of the brain that feels empathy. Andrew Newburg, M.D., goes so far as to recommend that you regularly induce yawns. He says it helps you solve problems, increases your efficiency, and intensifies your spiritual experiences. (Read more here: http://bit.ly/Yawn Genius.) So here’s my advice, Virgo. During the current phase of your astrological cycle—which is a time when self-improvement activities are especially favored—you should experiment with recreational yawning.

LIBRA (Sept. 23–Oct. 22): Check out this haiku

by Mizuhara Shuoshi, translated from the Japanese

by William J. Higginson: “stuck in a vase / deep mountain magnolia / blossoms open.” Does that remind you of anyone? It should. I think it pretty

much sums up your current situation. More accurately, it captures the best possible scenario you can strive to achieve, given your circumstances. Yes, there are limitations you have to deal with right now: being in the vase. And yet there’s no reason you can’t bloom like a deep mountain magnolia.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23–Nov. 21): Technorati, a search engine for blogs, says there are well over 100 million blogs on the Internet, and that figure doesn’t include millions of Chinese language blogs. So self-expression is thriving on a global scale, right? Not exactly. Most blogs—the estimate is 94 percent—have not been updated for at least four months. In accordance with the current astrological indicators, Scorpio, I expect you to do something about this problem. Refresh your blog in the coming week, or consider launching one if you don’t have one. But don’t stop there. Use every other way you can imagine to show the world who you are. Be articulate and demonstrative and revelatory.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22–Dec. 21): I think you can handle more hubbub and uproar than you realize.

I also suspect you’re capable of integrating more novelty, and at a faster rate, than the members of all the other signs of the zodiac. That’s why I think you should consider interpreting what’s happening in your life right now as “interesting adventures” instead of “disorienting chaos.” The entire universe is set up to help you thrive on what non-Sagittarians might regard as stressful.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22–Jan. 19): “Dear Rob: My boyfriend’s heart is in the right place. He likes to give me f lowers. The only trouble is, the bouquets he brings are homely. A recent batch was a hodgepodge of blue delphiniums, white carnations, and red geraniums. Is there any way to steer him in a more aesthetically correct direction without def lating his tender kindness?” —Unsatisfied Capricorn Dear Unsatisfied: In my astrological opinion, one of the tasks you Capricorns should be concerned with right now is learning to love the gifts that people want to give you. Maybe at a later date you can start training them to provide you with exactly what you want. But for the moment, it won’t kill you to simply welcome and celebrate their generosity.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20–Feb. 18): Your new vocabulary word for the week is “skookum,” a term from the Chinook Indians that is still used in some parts of British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest.

My astrological colleague Caroline Casey says it means “in cahoots with good spirits” and “completely made for the job.” Wikipedia suggests that when you’re skookum, you’ve got a clear purpose and are standing in your power spot. According to my reading of the omens, Aquarius, these definitions of skookum fit you pretty well right now. (P.S. When skookum is used to describe food, it means delicious and hearty, which could definitely be applied to you if you were edible.)

PISCES (Feb. 19–March 20): In the coming days, it’s crucial for you to be spontaneous but not rash.

Do you know the distinction? Read the words of psychologist Abraham Maslow: “Spontaneity (the impulses from our best self ) gets confused with impulsivity and acting-out (the impulses from our sick self ), and there is then no way to tell the difference.” Be sure you stay true to the vitalizing prompts arising from your inner genius, Pisces—not the distorted compulsions erupting from your inner maniac.

Homework: Imagine that thanks to scientific breakthroughs and good luck, you’re still alive in 2090. What’s your life like? Testify at Truthrooster@gmail.com.
