I OBJECT to the city councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to approve a Hyatt hotel on Broadway Street.

I have lived in this neighborhood for 10 years. I hoped I could convince the council members that a hotel did not belong on this residentially zoned parcel.

The majority of the neighborsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; comments and emails were opposed to this hotel.

Only Katherine Beiers and Tony Madrigal responded to our concerns and said that the hotel was not fulfilling the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Master Plan and would be a detriment to our neighborhood.

Broadway Street is the one residential street that is a Safe School Zone to Gault

and Branciforte Schools. How is a 100-plusroom hotel a benefit to these children who will now have to navigate the constant flux of hotel traffic? How is a bar serving alcohol until 11pm (for guests only; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see if they can enforce that) a boon to a neighborhood that is full of children and already has grave issues with alcohol consumption?

Katherine Beiers and Tony Madrigal should be praised for trying to abide by the interests of the neighborhood and the city master plan. The rest of the council members seemed most interested in the tax revenue a hotel would generate, and pleasing the developers. I realize the city needs money, and a hotel would bring more funds than a residential building, but is it worth sacrificing our neighborhood for the

cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immediate financial woes? Wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a high-density residential building better serve the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Master Plan than altering the zoning to accommodate a Hyatt?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time our city council members start supporting their communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voices. It is very clear that the neighbors of Lower Ocean Street (including NOLO, our neighborhood organization who publicly opposed this hotel) are not important to Lynn Robertson, David Terrazas, Hilary Bryant or Don Lane. Clearly our voice had no impact in their decisions.

I now have a much clearer idea of who not to re-elect, and would encourage everyone in my neighborhood and other sympathizers to remember that these four councilmembers thought that the majority desires of the neighborhood and the impact on our children were less important than the revenue of a high-end hotel. Shame on these city council members for thinking you represent us.

Waste Not Santa Cruz County strives toward zero waste

W

WHATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S in a name? When it comes to Santa Cruz Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Zero Waste program, everything. Through recycling, reuse, composting, and other waste reduction efforts, the county diverts at least 70 percent of its waste from the landfill. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already one of the highest figures in the state. But by as soon as 2021, when the Buena Vista Landfill, one of two in the county, is scheduled for closure, Recycling and Solid Waste Services resource planner Tim Goncharoff says Santa Cruz County may well have achieved its zerowaste goal. That means no more trash headed to an ignoble end at the dump. Nada. Zilch. Zero.

It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be easy, especially on such a short timetable. But through innovations in recycling and product design, reductions in waste in the commercial, industrial and ag sectors and a fully integrated composting program for residences and business,

Goncharoff believes the county can do it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still working hard to find creative solutions, to push the envelope,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m confident weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to keep increasing our diversion numbers, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m confident weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get to zero waste sooner than anything thinks.â&#x20AC;?

The county is already exploring cutting-edge practices. Thanks to the sophisticated sorting abilities and high capacity of the GreenWaste Recovery facility in San Jose where Santa Cruz County sends its recyclables, solutions for materials like plastic food wrappers, foil juice pouches and composite milk cartons may soon be available.

Component materials can be separated out, bundled and sold for reuse.

Meanwhile, to approach its goal from the other end, the county is working with companies to help design and manufacture products that require less complex recycling methods at the end of their initial life cycle.

Bluegrass Highway, Redwood Rest

The Redwood Mountain Faire welcomes back an old friend, bluegrass maestro Peter Rowan

BEFORE Peter Rowan was an internationally recognized bluegrass

artist, he was an Elvis Presleyâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;loving, electric guitarâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;wielding product of the rock & roll â&#x20AC;&#x2122;50s. But as the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;50s rolled into the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s, his attention turned

the Boston area, and within a few years he was in Nashville auditioning to be in Bill Monroeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s band. To his surprise, he got the gig. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was hired by the father of bluegrass, Bill Monroe, to be his guitar player

to the acoustic music scene that was emerging in his hometown of Boston.

in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s,â&#x20AC;? says Rowan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[He] brought me down to Nashville and we played

took a shine to it all, but it was the high and lonesome sound of bluegrass that called him the loudest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rather than just being a guy who played gospel or the blues, bluegrass

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I kept pinching myself,â&#x20AC;? he adds with a laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never would have imagined it.â&#x20AC;?

Under the watchful eye of Monroe, Rowan honed his bluegrass chops and

53 C O V E R S T O R Y M O U N TA I N FA I R E After his tenure in Monroeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s band, Rowan headed back to Boston and teamed up with mandolin virtuoso David Grisman in a psychedelic folk-rock band called Earth Opera.

The band stayed together only two years, but the connections Rowan made laid the groundwork for a number of creative projects with Grisman, including the nowlegendary supergroup Old and in the Way, which featured, among others, Jerry Garcia, Vassar Clements and an occasional sit-in by John Hartford. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I met Jerry Garcia, I had all these songs that I had written that couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find a home in the rock & roll bands,â&#x20AC;? says Rowan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So Grisman and Garcia and I formed Old and in the Way and returned to something that was real and natural.â&#x20AC;?

The band combined traditional bluegrass numbers with covers of rock songs and came to be known as one of the pioneering groups of the emerging newgrass sound. In fact, they were just playing what came naturally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With Garcia and Grisman there was no limitation to the kind of songs that we could do,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Garcia was all for stretching out beyond the confines of traditional bluegrass, but we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trying to do anything other than play songs that we liked.â&#x20AC;?

Since his time in Old and in the Way, Rowan has become an internationally acclaimed solo artist and bandleader who has collaborated with scores of artists in a wide variety of musical styles. He has picked up numerous awards and Grammy nods and established himself as a musician whose concern is less with his collaboratorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; style than with their spirit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The theme is that among these [collaborators], thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a spark in their eye,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they find someone trying to put out something with soul, they see it.

From Bill Monroe to Garcia to Jerry Douglas, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always responding personally to what I do.â&#x20AC;?

Rowanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest release, the Grammy-nominated Legacy, features an illustrious group of musicians including Gillian Welch, David Rawlings, Del McCoury, Ricky Skaggs and Tim Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien and was produced

by renowned banjo player Alison Brown. A return to his bluegrass roots, the album was, according to Rowan, exactly what he needed at this point in his life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This record enabled me to look at some very personal things,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always thought that bluegrass was just a form that carried a vibe, but I realized with this album that I really needed that form to write about what I was going through: the ups and downs of life. Bluegrass was meant to speak about life, not just be a style.â&#x20AC;?

On the road in support of Legacy, Rowan is performing this Sunday at the Redwood Mountain Faire.

A veteran of the faire (he played in 1990 and 1991), Rowan is looking forward to getting back to it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Santa Cruz audience is a great audience,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of people down there with great, wideopen minds, and that makes me feel free to try different things.â&#x20AC;?

A brainchild of the Valley Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club of San Lorenzo Valley, the Redwood Mountain Faire ran every year from 1980 through 1996 at Highlands Park in Ben Lomond. Last year it returned, this time in a new locationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Roaring Campâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but with

all the hallmarks of the old faire.

From its inception, the music, arts and crafts festival has been a benefit for local non-profits. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipients include Jacobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Heart, Camp Joy Gardens, the Santa Cruz Derby Girls, the SLV Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, Valley Churches United, Mountain Community Resources and Cabrillo College football, among others.

The faire has also historically featured stellar musiciansâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Kate Wolf, Bob Brozman, David Grisman, Taj Mahal, Etta James, Country Joe McDonald, John Mayall and Big Brother and the Holding Company have all headlined past faires. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival promises to be another eclectic affair, with over 20 acts on two stages over two days.

Headlining Saturday is Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own SambaDa, a high-energy, Afro-Brazilian dance band known for kicking parties into high gear. The dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events also include sets by local reggae sensation Soul Majestic, Santa Cruz surf band the Parafins, the Crosby Stills and Nash tribute band Almost Cut My Hair, the young and immensely talented local rock band Jackie Rocks and many more.

Along with Rowan, Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lineup includes the folk and

country sounds of the celebrated and one-time Santa Cruzan Lacy J. Dalton, the funky grooves of local good-time dance band Extra Large, the roots-rocking, down-home stylings of the Good Luck Thrift Store Outfit and the local folk and roots all-star band the Velveteens, featuring Mary McCaslin, Sherry Austin, Ginny Mitchell, Patti Maxine, Sharon Allen, Tracy Parker and Jim Norris.

The faire offers audiences a prime opportunity to see some of the brightest local stars and to catch up with some big-name favorites. For the artists, including Rowan, who has made â&#x20AC;&#x153;many sojourns to Santa Cruz,â&#x20AC;? the faire is a chance to share their music with an appreciative crowd and to reconnect old friends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to seeing the Santa Cruz gang again,â&#x20AC;? Rowan says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whoever that may be these days.â&#x20AC;?

The Wild Frontier Frontier Wives regroup for a farewell show

BY AARON CARNES

B

BACK IN the late â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s, amid a bubbling music scene in the South Bay, the Frontier Wives led the pack as San Joseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest hope for a breakout band. What fans loved about themâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the duality of playing simple, drunken rock songs and writing well-crafted, subtly complex, clever tunesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;may very have been their undoing. No one, including the band members, could figure out a proper label for their music. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was no scene or genre that we could hang our hat on and say that we were a part of,â&#x20AC;? says drummer Lex van den Berghe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It often felt like it was us against the world. It was the Frontier Wives and everyone else.â&#x20AC;?

The band played all over the Bay Area, including Santa Cruz. Its influences ran the gamut, including power-pop, country, punk, college radio and heavy metal, but really the Frontier Wives were a rock & roll band through and through. It just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like the other rock bands at the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Frontier Wives were the garage sale version of local rock,â&#x20AC;? says lead singer Scott Long. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got a lot of flak from people who were more polished than us.â&#x20AC;?

Punk rock was a big inf luence on the Wives. At one point, early in the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career, Long met some of the Bay Area punk bands.

He was inspired by how these guys were totally willing to mix

GEN X-MEN From left, the Frontier Wivesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mic Jennings, Matt Rook, Lex van den Berghe and Scott Long rock some 1989 style. in some metal and country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That propelled me to mix genres.

That opened my wanting to push the limits,â&#x20AC;? Long says.

Punk rock also taught them how to be a band, how to walk onstage with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;like us for who we are or fuck youâ&#x20AC;? attitude and how to make it without label support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything from T-shirts to promotion to booking tours, everything we did ourselves. It was very punk rock. The Wives, I think, were the most punk rock band that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually punk rock,â&#x20AC;? van den Berghe says.

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that they were against signing to a major label. They just werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen as marketable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was an overweight singer, playing not-radiofriendly music. We were not ready for prime time or MTV,â&#x20AC;? Long says.

With no label support, they worked hard for over a decade. They booked several tours and recorded

a full-length album with only the help and support of friends. This was all before the age of Pro Tools and the Internet too, so these were not easy, inexpensive endeavors. As the years wore on, their gung-ho attitude waned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There comes a point where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve literally hit your head on the same wall for 11 years and it gets tired. I still struggle with exactly why we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do more with it than we did. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for a lack of trying,â&#x20AC;? van den Berghe says.

The Frontier Wives never officially broke up, though the members have moved on to other things.

Long moved to New York and has become a successful promoter in what is arguably one of the most competitive live-music markets.

Van den Berghe went on to star in Seasons 3 and 8 of CBSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Survivor and has played in several other

bands, including the Maids of Honor with Smash Mouth guitarist Greg Camp. But still, over the past quarter-century, Frontier Wives have continued to get together every once in a while to play the occasional show, always to a packed house.

They will be celebrating an impressive 25-year anniversary in San Jose on June 3 and at the Catalyst Atrium on June 4. These will be their final shows, and Long and van den Berghe have rounded up every person who has ever been in the Frontier Wives to play. Also on the bill at the Catalyst are Stryder Callison and the Jackwagons.

43/@ B63 5@33< WHEN Amy Stewart says there are killers lurking in the backyard, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to take her at her word. Stewart, erstwhile contributor to Metro Santa Cruz, ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t your average militant â&#x20AC;&#x153;neighborhood watchâ&#x20AC;? mom; sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the author of Wicked Plants: The Weed That Killed Lincolnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mother & Other Botanical Atrocities. Plants, she notes in the book, poison 68,847 people every year (compared to, say, 3,900 people injured annually by electrical sockets).

One might be familiar with infamous killers like hemlock, monkshood and nightshade, but what about sago palm, the lethal leaves of which sprout unsuspected in many a Southern garden?

Wicked Plants helpfully details the family, habitat, native region and common names of killer plants, along with amusing (albeit morbid) historical anecdotes.

Stewart writes, for example, of the California woman who landed on death row after she attempted to kill her husband with oleander (the trick only landed him in the hospital; she ultimately employed antifreeze to finish the job), and about how ricin, derived from castor beans, was used by the KGB to assassinate communist defectors.

With an 40-year career and two Grammy awards under his belt, Taj Mahal is an experienced bluesman with the credentials to back up his raw tales. Born Henry Saint Claire Fredericks, Mahalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love for music began at an early age. His father, a man Ella Fitzgerald once called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Genius,â&#x20AC;? was a West Indian jazz arranger whose musical stylings influenced Mahal to create his unique blend of blues, jazz, Caribbean, gospel, zydeco and much more. In 2008 Mahal released his latest work, Maestro, a look into his continued musical evolution with clear signs that the flatpicking singerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t over until he decides it is. Rio Theatre; $35; 8pm.

Introducing Deadheads to the intricate art of Celtic music and nudging Celtic music fans into the trippy and textured land of the Grateful Dead, Wake the Dead is a Northern California oneoff band that pays musical tribute to the songs and spirit of the Dead.

Combining keen instrumentation with a solid understanding of the legendary bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s musical appeal, Wake the Dead proves that the chasm between traditional Celtic music and the freeform sounds of the psychedelic â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s may not be that wide after all. Don Quixoteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s; $13 adv/$15 door; 8pm. (Cat Johnson)

Ripping their way through the American roots music landscape in high-energy style, the Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; based Juncos are a down-home band that is more throwback than revival.

With an appreciation for the acoustic life and a gather-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;round-the-mic-yâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;all recording style, this is a group that understands the strength of a good song and how to let it stand on its own. They can coax the sweet out of some harmonies, get the floorboards jumping with their foot-stomping tunes and wind their way through just about any roots-based genre. From jug music and rockabilly to folk, honkytonk and old-timey, the Juncos whip up a thick and hearty musical stew. Crepe Place; $12 adv/$15 door; 9pm. (CJ)

Now thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Flor de CaĂąa, the Cuban cure. Drawing inspiration from the Caribbean sounds of Cuban son, a precursor to salsa, this high-energy septet takes the stage with guitars, congas, bongos and timbales backing up vocals worthy of Ibrahim Ferrer himself. Hips sway more easily, feet move more confidently and dance floors fill more quickly. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the next best thing to being born hot. Moeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alley; $10; 9pm.

;716/3: :/<2/C 5@=C> Michael Landau started honing serious chops as a studio guitarist at the tender age of 19, recording more than 700 sessions with the likes of Boz Scaggs, Pink Floyd, Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell, BB King, Ray Charles and Rod Stewart.

Fresh off a tour with James Taylor, Landau and company will be stopping in Santa Cruz as part of a whirlwind sweep through the state. When he is at the wheel, Landau produces guitar-

driven jazz and blues instrumentals that showcase the depth of his technical skill and the breadth of his musical knowledge. Moeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alley; $12 adv/$15 door; 4pm. (Tessa Stuart)

:/@@G 1/@:B=< B@7= One of few musicians to successfully navigate both the pop and jazz worlds, Larry Carlton is a seasoned guitarist who has left an inimitable mark on music. As a session musician he worked with dozens of acclaimed artists, including Joni Mitchell, Michael Jackson, Steely Dan and Linda Ronstadt and played on more than 100 gold records. He eventually stepped away from the lucrative but creatively limiting studio musician scene and joined the Crusaders before setting out on his own. He has since had a long and celebrated career as a jazz artist and bandleader and is known around the world for his warm and passionate tone, his intricate rhythms and his ability to take a song wherever he wants it to go.

:3A 2C239 If the name Les Dudek isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t familiar, the guitar riffs certainly are. This virtuoso has played with a spectrum of musicians from the Allman Brothers Band (thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dudek playing lead on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ramblinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Manâ&#x20AC;?) to Boz Scaggs, the Steve Miller Band and even Cher.

He also had a chance to play in an up-and-coming band called Journey but declined in order to pursue a solo career. With songs carefully crafted by his eclectic tastes, Dudekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adventurous playing will have audiences of all ages ready to ramble after a night of downhome dancing.

play the Crepe Place on Saturday.

She was born in South Korea, raised in Australia, dresses like a Naâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;vi (thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the indigenous alien race from Avatar to you n00bs) and performs an amalgam of roots, reggae, dub and dancehall, with a little mariachi thrown in for good measure. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all part of what Saritah terms her â&#x20AC;&#x153;global sound.â&#x20AC;? After conquering the Aussie festival circuit, she brings her eclectic musical stylings to the California coast on a tour that will culminate in an appearance at the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival.

Film Capsules <3E 12 ANGRY MEN (1957) In this piece of classic cinema, director Sidney Lumet (Dog Day Afternoon, Murder on the Orient Express) dives into the unseen drama of jury deliberation during a murder trial in which the suspect is a teen facing the death penalty if convicted.

The jury is unanimous all except for one man, masterfully played by Henry Fonda, whose questioning mind reveals inconsistencies in the case. However, the real treat of this film is its examination into the nature of human beings and how their interactions are

THE DOUBLE HOUR (NR; 95 min.) In this official selection from the 2009 Venice International Film Festival, Sonia (Ksenia Rappoport) has recently moved to a new city and decides to give speed dating a try to fix her lonely nights. There she meets Guido (Filippo Timi), an excop turned security guard, and the sparks begin to fly. However, their fruitful relationship is cut short when Guido is shot on the job, leaving Sonia to figure where the truth lies in this thriller where nothing is

MEAN GIRLS (2004) Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard being a teenage girl. Just ask Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan). Raised in the African bush country and transplanted to America, she finds her pack among a group of popular girls called the Plastics, only to find out that â&#x20AC;&#x153;friendshipâ&#x20AC;? sometimes means being stabbed in the front instead of the back. With a screenplay by Tina Fey (SNL, 30 Rock) and breakout performances by Lohan and Rachel McAdams, this classic comedy will have everyone remembering, and hating, the Plastics of their lives. (Fri-Sat midnight at Del Mar)

X-MEN: FIRST CLASS (PG-13; 131 min.) In this prequel to the blockbuster trilogy, audiences are treated to a rare glimpse at the origins of the X-Men. In 1963 the Cold War is at its height and the human population is still not aware of the existence of mutants with superhuman powers living in its midst.

All of that changes when Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) opens a school for mutants to hone their abilities, unleashing a wave of persecution from normal society. (Opens Fri at Aptos and Green Valley)

13 ASSASSINS (R; 141 min.)

In 1880s Japan, samurai who have been used to rank as a decoration requiring no duties must train themselves in war when the shogunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, a sadist who rapes and mutilates at will, prepares to ascend the throne.

Director Takashi Miike spares no gore; he caps the film with a battle of some 45 minutes thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more of a brutal slam dance than a Kurosawa ballet.

THE BEAVER (PG-13, 91 min.) Walter Black (Mel Gibson) is the president and heir to a successful toy company. On the brink of suicide, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rescued by a beaver hand puppet. Back in the game, he brandishes a card explaining that this â&#x20AC;&#x153;prescription puppetâ&#x20AC;? helps him with a medical condition. His younger son is delighted. His older son Porter (Anton Yelchin) was already overwhelmed with contempt for his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weakness. The neutral party is Walterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife Meredith (Jodie Foster, who directed); initially delighted by her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recovery, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unwilling to live in a menage with a beaver. Gibsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at home with this kind of manic-depressive acting and Foster is faultless: she sidesteps the trap of being the bitch in the story who wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t learn to love the fluffy puppet. Tony Gardner designed the little creature with human eyes, complete with whites, and an oversized maw. The puppet is not cute and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not scary. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as neutral as a psychiatristâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grunt. The Beaver insists, and wraps with, the idea that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s families that â&#x20AC;&#x153;you could put on a holiday cardâ&#x20AC;?; we know better: like talking beavers, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really no such animal. (RvB) BILL CUNNINGHAM NEW YORK (NR; 84 min.) The bicycle-riding octogenarian whose photographs of the street fashion of New York are one of the New York Timesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; best known features is a very private man, which makes a documentary about him all the more delicious.

BRIDESMAIDS (R; 125 min.)

Annie (Kristen Wiig) is a Milwaukee woman going downhill. Her ex-boyfriend (Jon Hamm) uses her for sex. Suddenly, Annieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best pal, Lillian (Maya Rudolph), announces her impending marriage. Lillian also introduces a new, gorgeous friend (Rose Byrne) who elbows Annie aside and takes charge of the wedding. The wedding planning becomes more pretentious, more expensive and ever more humiliating for Annie. Wiig is at her most comically nonchalant as the desperation seeps out of her pores. In her capacity to register degrees of comedic suffering, this actress suggests what happens when like when a movie is really loose down deep in its soul, and is not just wobbly and formulaic.

But Judd Apatow was the executive producer, and Bridesmaids is shaped like an Apatow film: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a halfhour too long. Though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s released as a chick-flick alternative, we still get the traditional pointless fight between Annie and her new man (Chris Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dowd).

(RvB) CAVE OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS (NR; 90 min.)

Director and film artist Werner Herzog (Invincible, Grizzly Man) returns to the screen with an aweinspiring 3-D documentary.

In 1994 a cave in Southern France was discovered to contain some of the oldest known art forms in the history of mankind.

Because of the delicate nature of the cave, only Herzog was allowed to film it, delivering to his audience a breathtaking portrait of who we were, where we are now, and what the future may hold for the human race.

THE CONSPIRATOR (PG-13; 123 min.) Robert Redfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Conspirator is one of those pieces of history that Howard Zinn liked to unearth. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shameful episode and it deserves to be remembered. After Lincolnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assassination at the hands of John Wilkes Booth (Toby Kebbell), accused accessories are rounded up. Caught in the dragnet is one female prisoner: the landlady Mrs. Mary Surratt (Robin Wright), whose son had

The trial of the conspirators was a military tribunal, on the grounds that Lincoln was a military commander himself. But is this movie really about 1865? Throughout, we can feel Redford whispering in our ear: â&#x20AC;&#x153;This suspension of rightsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;remarkable how it anticipates Gitmo.

And the hooding of prisoners is like Abu Ghraib. Did you notice the parallels?â&#x20AC;? (RvB)

EVERYTHING MUST GO (R; 96 min.) When an alcoholic salesman (Will Ferrell) gets canned from his job and dumped by his wife falling off the wagon yet again, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forced to sell everything and start from scratch with the help of an awkward neighborhood kid (Christopher Jordan Wallace) and an interesting new neighbor (Rebecca Hall). With Laura Dern. Based on a short story by Raymond Carver.

FAST FIVE (PG-13; 130 min.) In the fifth installment of the Fast and the Furious franchise, Brian (Paul Walker) springs Dom (Vin Diesel)

from prison and the crew lights out for South America. Upon arrival, they find themselves caught between a brutal drug dealer and an unrelenting federal agent.

at a time. This gloriously campy throwback to the 1970s exploitation films originally began as a fake trailer but will leave audiences cheering on the vigilante vagrant.

THE HANGOVER 2 (R; 102 min.) After the Las Vegas debauchery, the boys (Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper, Justin Bartha) head to Thailand to see Stu (Ed Helms) get hitched, but plans for a quiet brunch go awry. With Mike Tyson and Paul Giamatti.

KUNG FU PANDA 2 (PG; 90 min.) Smart-ass dialog and the voices of Jack Black, Seth Rogan, Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman and a multitude more spice up the story of the chubby panda Po, who takes on old enemies with a new weapon.

HESHER (R; 106 min.) While mourning the loss of his mother, TJ (Devin Brochu) befriends an older, foulmouthed, chain-smoking metalhead named Hesher (Joseph Gordon-Levitt).

Hesher begins squatting in TJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garage and helps the kid and his family pull out of their sadness to experience the healthy chaos of life in this coming-of-age story.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES (PG13; 137 min.) Escaping the gallows in London, Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is shanghaied by the pirate and voodoo master Blackbeard (Ian McShane)), who seeks the Fountain of Youth.

Sparrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old nemesis Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), now a privateer licensed

by King George, joins the fray. Blackbeardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter Angelica (Penelope Cruz) has a past with Jack, but not much of a present. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to pretend not to be interested in each other.

HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN (R; 86 min.) In a town where the line between the drugdealing pimp and the law doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even exist, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to a single hobo (Rutger Hauer) to riddle the face of crime one buckshot shell

The disinterest seems real.

In this scattered, hurried and yet static tale, even the wonderful Fountain itself doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lure Sparrow much; he flits through the tale armed with the magic compass that leads to his heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desire. (RvB)

THOR (PG-13; 114 min.)

Cast to earth in rural New Mexico, the son of Odin (Anthony Hopkins) must redeem himselfâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;even as his disposed brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) schemes to keep him in exile forever. The part of Thor is a starmaking performance for Chris Hemsworthâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;an Australian actor who remembers the old ways of movie heroism.

Director Kenneth Branagh finds the perfect tone of nobility without too much loft. The movie has its Shakespearean side; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as full of grand, ringing voices as it is of fight scenes and fireworks. Natalie Portman is endearing as the scientist befuddled by the arrival of a god. She looks pleasingly discomfited to be close to someone who is better-looking than she is. The witty script (co-written by former

Metro staffer Zack Stentz) reflects 1950s films about the perplexity of scientists in the bomb-haunted New Mexican desert meeting a creature from another world. (RvB)

WATER FOR ELEPHANTS (PG-13; 122 min.) A veterinary student (Robert Pattinson) suffers a minor breakdown following the death of his parents and joins a traveling circus, where he cares for the animals and falls in love with the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s star (Reese Witherspoon).

WIN WIN (R; 106 min.)

Paul Giamatti plays Mike Flaherty, a down-on-hisluck attorney moonlighting as a high school wrestling coach who discovers an exceptionally gifted athlete. Suddenly it looks like all of his personal and professional losing streaks are at their endâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that is, until the kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mom is released from lockup and free to ruin everything.
