Being named to the Top 40 Under 40 brings more than just recognition, though the recognition is nice too.

‘Moonshine Follies’ brings the Jazz Era & Roaring ’20s to vivid life, at Resorts to April 17.

Boardwalk Empire’s big success bolstered a nationwide nostalgia craze, and the Atlantic City Antiques & Collectors Show will foster that fad with soughtafter clothing and accessories from the 1920s.

Tickets go on sale to the public March 25 for a three-day music festival slated for Atlantic City’s Bader Field this June 24-26: The Dave Matthews Band Caravan.

Get Lucky at Bally’s

This year, you’re Irish luck may carry over to the day after St. Patrick’s Day. This Friday, March 18, Bally’s Atlantic City is partnering with the United Way’s Young Leaders Program, ACCEL to host “Get Lucky� a charity auction benefiting United Way of Atlantic County. For a $10 donation, the event offers food and drink specials and live entertainment, which will feature host and radio personality, Diane from WAYV’s Mike & Diane show, and a musical performance by rock band Lost in Paris. Guests will also be invited to bid on the city’s most eligible bachelors including local firemen, professors and business owners. Each lucky winning bachelorette will receive a complimentary dinner date. All proceeds from the auction will benefit United Way of Atlantic County. “We at Bally’s are proud to host this great event with Atlantic County Community’s Emerging Leaders benefiting United Way,� said Joe Domenico, senior vice president and general manager for Bally’s and Showboat Atlantic City. “The night will be great fun for Bally’s guests, visitors and staff, and we’re so excited to celebrate this traditional holiday while aiding such a great resource for our community.� The United Way of Atlantic County is an independent, volunteer-driven organization that supports 60 programs at 40 local health and human services agencies. It positively impacts the quality of life of Atlantic County residents each year by supporting programs that reduce substance abuse, provide basic needs and increase self-sufficiency, support community health issues, and foster safer homes and neighborhoods.

Iron & White ‘Kiss Each Other Clean’ (Warner Bros.) Over the past 10 years making records, Iron & Wine’s Sam Beam has let his freak flag fly in the face of convention. His first proper studio album since 2007’s The Shepherd’s Dog — 2009’s two-disc compilation Around the Well was a set of outtakes, rarities and B-sides never before released from his Sub Pop days — finds Beam in his usually achingly beautiful hush of voice, with his poetic and near cryptic lyrics wrapped in experimental soundscapaes that make the 10 new tunes sound more freaky than folky. And it’s for the better. This big-label debut doesn’t disappoint.

KBK Promotions will host its second mixer targeting the GLBT community and supportive communities at Redding’s Restaurant in Atlantic City, on Tuesday, March 22, from 8pm-midnight. This mixer — the second following a successful initial venture held at Redding’s in January — will include a fashion show with the sale of lingerie and swimwear from Asbury Park’s Etc. ‌ lifestyle boutique, including commentary by singer/actor Daniel Patrick Ellis, who recently performed live with Kim Zolciak of the Real Housewives of Atlanta at Showboat’s Club Worship.

According to the promoters, these mixers are being staged to bring focus on Atlantic City’s rebirth as a GLBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender) friendly community. “Carl Redding, the owner of Redding’s Restaurant, asked us to stage an event that would target his GLBT customers,â€? says promoter Bill Cradle in a media release. “We jumped at the opportunity to bring a highenergy charged mixer to Atlantic City.â€? Cradle is well known in Atlantic City area for his philanthropic work, including his current role as president of the board of the Atlantic City Ballet. There will be a $5 cover charge at the door. Guests must be 21 to drink alcohol and provide a photo ID if requested. — Ray Schweibert

INCE ITS INCEPTION ABOUT 25 years ago, Community Quest, Inc.’s mission has been to raise funds for citizens of southern New Jersey in need of assistance. This was achieved through a combination of charitable fundraisers and state aid before the organization devised alternative means of income that made it largely self-sufficient. Community Quest still relies on about a half-dozen charitable events annually to help realize its mission. This year it opted to substitute its annual earlyspring golf outing with a sport that has a bit more mass appeal, less dependency on weather conditions, and considerably less financial overhead — an important element in a down economy. Hence, this Saturday, March 19, Community Quest will debut its inaugural “Good Neighbor Bowling Classic” to be held over two sessions (3-6pm and 7-10pm) at King Pin Lanes in Egg Harbor Township. “We used to have a golf tournament and had a lot of success with that, but the economy’s getting sort of tough and we needed to find a new type of venue to have a benefit,” says Patty Hurst, Community Quest’s events coordinator. “We’ll probably have golf again some time, but this year we wanted to do something that everyone could participate in — more of a family, community kind of event — so we turned the Good Neighbor Golf Classic into the Good Neighbor Bowling Classic. Children are welcome to participate on any of the teams of five bowlers [whereas golf tends to be more adult-restrictive.]” Thus far Community Quest is close to its goal of selling out two sessions of 20 lanes per session, but interested teams or participants can register right up until the event starts by going online to cqinc.org and clicking on “community events.” The cost is $25 per person and teams should be comprised of five bowlers — or six if one is a veteran, who bowls for free. The cost includes shoes, balls, food, an event T-shirt and three games of bowling. There will also be raffle drawings, mini trophies for the highest (and lowest) team and individual scores, most strikes, spares and gutter balls, and a “colored pin contest.” The early session (3-6pm) will have cartoons playing on for the

kids, and the 7-10pm session will have “galactic” bowling where the overhead lights are turned off, the lanes are illuminated with black lights and disco balls, and party songs will be blasting through King Pin’s high-tech sound system. Teams are encouraged to bring along their own cheering sections. Guests will have plenty to keep them occupied when not lending moral support, as King Pin has its own large arcade, snack bar, poolroom, and cash bar at the Sports Stop Lounge — all of which have been newly renovated. Along with the 20 lanes being utilized for the tournament there are also 20 others open to the public. “The money we raise goes toward supporting programs for housing and employment for individuals in need, which are populations with disabilities

We wanted to do something that everyone could participate in — more of a family, community kind of event. and people who are transitioning off welfare,” says Hurst. “There are welfareto-work vocational programs, programs for veterans who need assistance, and programs for those with developmental disabilities.” Two other upcoming Community Quest fundraising events are the Fun Day at Playland in Ocean City on June 22 (from 1-5pm), and the Cruisin’ for a Cause sunset cruise from A.C.’s Gardner’s Basin on July 22 (from 8-10pm). The EHT-based Community Quest, Inc., was created in 1986 and expanded in 2006 to include a medical and mental-health branch called Med A Quest LLC. Med A Quest and another subsidiary called Home Quest, Inc. the following year. Home Quest recently opened Veterans Point at The Gates in Somers Point, and broke ground for the Tucker’s Wall project in Tuckerton last year. N

IKE EVERY GROUP OR ARTIST that’s ever released a recording for sale, Dewey Bunnell and Gerry Beckley have lost a small fortune from online file-sharing web sites. But Bunnell prefers to think that he and Beckley — collectively known as the soft-rock band America — have made up for their losses on the back end. Extra ticket sales for the 100 live shows America performs each year may have compensated for money they’ve lost through impossible-to-police piracy. That’s because the same power that’s cost them money — the Internet — has probably made them money by exposing a new audience to their music and giving potential ticket-buyers instant access to their songs. Simply put, the ’net has essentially taken money out of one of their pockets and deposited it in another. “The double-edged sword part of [the Internet] is the earned income aspect of it has taken a big hit,” Bunnell says. “Now the genie is out of the bottle, anybody can virtually get music for free. We begrudge it only to the degree that there’s nothing we can do about it.” Bunnell and Beckley agree, however, that the Internet is probably responsible to a large extent for spreading their music far beyond the Woodstock generation that was introduced to it over 40 years ago. “It’s kept our live show going,” Bunnell says during a phone call last week from the band’s tour bus en route to a onenight-stand in Florida. “We really are a bread-and-butter working class band. We do 80 to 100 shows a year, and we’re doing pretty well in that department. So what we lose on record sales potentially in terms of income, I think we’re gaining in terms of exposure on the Internet to the live shows. “That’s how we’re spinning it, anyway,” he adds with a laugh. With core hit singles like “A Horse With No Name,” “Sister Golden Hair,” “Tin Man” and “Ventura Highway,” America — which also included Dan Peek until 1977 — was among the bestselling groups of the 1970s. When Peek left the band, there was concern that America had run its course, but the band soldiered on as a duo and turned out singles and albums into the mid-1980s. And that was a lot longer than Bunnell ever thought the band would last. He, Beckley and Peek — all sons of American servicemen stationed in

England — were still in their teens when they formed America in 1970. Bunnell says the trio was very idealistic with their goals and their approach to music. “We really did believe that this music was probably more powerful than it really was,” he says. “And not just our music, but the whole genre, the whole fabric of our lives, was heavily interwoven with those important songs and lyrics.” Still, Bunnell, Beckley and Peek really didn’t have a long-range goal when they released their self-titled debut album in 1971 and won the Grammy Award for best new artist the following year. “The old traditional answer was, ‘if this thing goes [for] five years, that’ll be great,’” Bunnell, 58, explains. “We all thought we’d have to get a real job one day.” America, which rolls into The Concert Venue at Harrah’s Resort for a one-nighter Saturday, March 19, certainly never thought their music would have the staying power or multi-generational appeal it’s achieved. “I always thought our songs were kind of like the mortar between the bricks,” Bunnell says. “Like the really big heavyweight artists, like Simon and Garfunkel and The Beatles and so on, their songs were sort of the bricks, and our songs were kind of the mortar.” Bunnell acknowledges the force of the computer era is somewhat responsible for America’s longevity. Instant access to the band’s music has probably helped America gain fans that weren’t even born after they had their last big hit single and album. “If [someone] has a whim and you want to hear a song or are curious about a song, it’s right at your fingertips now,” he says. “You’re not scarfin’ around trying to find that scratchy old LP and find the track on it and move the needle over.” A young person who’s heard that one of their favorite contemporary bands has been compared to America can now listen for that comparison instantly. “So all of that has worked in our favor, and every other artist’s favor, I think,” he says.

S POKER ROOMS BEGAN opening in Pennsylvania and Delaware, many Atlantic City poker room managers, both publicly and privately, said that Atlantic City could weather the competition. After all, the city has already faced down serious competition from the Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods in Connecticuit and they fight pretty hard for players among themselves. But the last couple of weeks have shown that, especially as far as major tournaments go, Atlantic City may be feeling the sting of competition at the poker tables — the same as it does at table games such as blackjack. The first example is the Taj Mahal’s badbeat jackpot, which as of this writing is positively huge at more than $600,000. As we noted last week, the casino didn’t really see frenzied interest in the bad beat as it started to climb past the $300,000 and then $400,000 mark. That’s in stark contrast to the action the casino saw in June, when the bad beat also climbed past $600,000 and eventually set a record of $670,000. Caesars Atlantic City also saw intense action in its poker room in January 2010 when its bad beat climbed past $500,000, then a record. “Maybe we are feeling the effects of Pennsylvania and Delaware and even New York,� theorized Tom Gitto, poker room manager for the Taj. “We just haven’t seen the same frenzy we had in June. But you have to remember, those poker rooms weren’t open in June.� Of course at $600,000, the frenzy is in full effect now. But another indicator could be the World Series of Poker Circuit events, which just finished up at Caesars Atlantic City. The circuit events have never been a big draw for the city, and in fact, nationwide. The WSOP actually revamped the format of the circuit events, stabilizing the circuit “main events� at a $1,500 buy-in (plus $150 entry fee) to attract more players. The Caesars main event drew 442 players, which while respectable, hardly marks A.C. a major circuit stop. Those numbers are up substantially over the 174 players that played last year’s Caesars circuit main event. But that event, before the reorganization, was a $4,900 buy-in played during lousy weather. A better example was the $1,500 main event Join us on Facebook:

at Harrah’s in December (not the same as the event’s $10K regional championship), which attracted only 352 players. But again look at the circuit event immediately before the A.C. event, this one in Palm Beach, Fla. Caesars’ numbers are way off the 742 players the Florida event attracted. Or look at the 808 players that played the main event at the Choctaw Casino Resort in Durant, Okla., in January. It’s a little disconcerting to think Oklahoma in the dead of winter can draw better than Atlantic City. Even the Borgata ran into some trouble when it offered a $500K guaranteed Deepstack event on March 5. The Borgata rarely has to kick in on their guarantees, but in this event, which attracted 308 players to the $1,500 buy-in tournament, The Borgata had to kick in about $38K. Of course, it was an incredibly competitive weekend in the city with the circuit events underway and the Taj Mahal’s bad beat sucking in players. Still, you have to think that many regional players are skipping the trip to A.C. and taking advantage of action closer to home. Now for some results. The Borgata event went to Las Vegas pro Chris Tryba, who wins $131,217. The cash brings his total winnings to more than $776,000. But Tryba was clearly in town for the WSOP circuit. He had one small cash in the circuit events, but picked up some points on the circuit leaderboard and should qualify for the circuit championship in May. The same is true of the circuit main event winner Brian Ali, who had a 15th place finish at the Borgata $500K, taking home $4,861. He did better at the circuit, where he dominated the field and won $139,284. He also had a third place finish in Event 1 of the circuit events, good for $19,627. Ali, a 51-year-old amateur from Brooklyn, N.Y., clearly had the best tournament week of his life. “This is so exciting for me to win this,� Ali told the WSOP in a post-tournament interview. “This victory is something I really had to earn. I had to beat some really, really tough poker players, not just here but over the past three days. So, I’m flying high right now.� Al least someone is benefiting from all this competition.

typically enough to be satisfying, but there are times when you get a plate with heaping food, or sometimes the whole plate is smothered in some type of sauce. To me that shows lack of quality and flavor by compensating with a larger portion or a sauce that “masks” the taste. Jon Henderson shares the same sentiments, saying “Quality beats quantity. Often restaurants make up for mediocre food by giving you lots of it.” Bert Bertino agrees, noting that quality trumps quantity as long as he leaves the restaurant satisfied. On the opposite side, Mike Hampton said he doesn’t see anything wrong with plentiful portions and great quality because he loves leftovers. Erica Brooke agrees with Mike, adding that she loves the leftovers idea but still a smaller portion is more appealing and less overwhelming to eat. For the most part people opted for quality over quantity. Normal portions are the way to go according to the views of Donna Russo Albano and Denise McCarthy Irvin, and Anthony D’Alicandro says he prefers normal-size portions because he has a tendency to eat everything on the plate (hence the point above) — sometimes, he admits, to unhealthy extremes. Whatever the case — quality vs. quantity, large vs. small portions — pay attention to your everyday eating habits. According to the American Medical Association, when creating a plan for healthy eating, you have to remember you are not on a diet, but you are building healthier habits for a lifetime. Don’t deprive yourself but keep your weight under control. For more information regarding the Dish Diet, go to dishdiet. com. Healthy eating everyone! N

EADING INTO THE SPRING AND summer months, the dread of bathing suit season is upon us. Typically I don’t talk about dieting and diet ideas, only because most seem to be fads and it all differs with your genetic makeup. But recently, I heard about two South Jersey moms, Danuta Highet (a mechanical engineer) and Roberta Cahn (a bio-chemical engineer), who invented the Dish Diet. This is a program that tackles issues with diet and portion control and focuses on how you eat, not what you eat. It seems like one of those ideas that’s a no-brainer. So many times we focus on what we are eating, which is just as important, but when we don’t have proper scales and measuring resources, how can we be sure about proper portion size? Well, the Dish Diet is a set of specially-designed, patent-pending dishware that takes the guessing out of portion-control and excess calories out of your daily food intake. I’ve seen plates that have dividers on them, but in this instance the Dish Diet plates are numerically sized so they let you “step down” your calorie intake so you can gradually adjust your portions all while eating your own food. Highet says, “The Dish Diet program is designed to help you change your eating habits without depriving you of the foods you love. The Dish Diet is not a quick fix gimmick, it’s a tool to help you establish healthy eating habits for life.” The cool thing is that this diet is not just for adults but it can also be used for children, because once bad eating habits are established they become more difficult to break, as most of us can attest. Many children grew up in homes where they had to eat all the food off the plate before they left the table. That stayed with them into adulthood. On a personal level, I’m thankful for my genetic makeup because I was never overweight, and I tend to eat what I want but in moderation. There are times when people say to me, “you didn’t finish your meal,” or “what, you didn’t like that?” and it’s not that — usually it’s because I’m stuffed and just can’t eat anymore. I’m thankful that I was always able to listen to my body, and I hope that you listen to yours as well. Nowadays you’ll notice “quality food” will come in smaller portions that are

Saluting the Top 40 Being named to the Top 40 Under 40 brings more than just recognition, though the recognition is nice too. By Michael Pritchard

MA O RNCT HH 10 70 ,, 22 00 11 11 // AA CC W W EE EE KK LLYY.. CC OO M M

N THE EARLY DAYS OF Atlantic City Weekly’s and The Greater Atlantic City Jaycees’ annual Top 40 Under 40 list of young entrepreneurs, community leaders and movers and shakers in the area, some honorees were caught off guard by how quickly, and how far, news of their selection would travel. There would be calls from old friends, e-mails from former college classmates and a lot of handshakes on the street. Oh, that still happens. It’s just that it’s not surprising anymore. In its seventh year, the Top 40 Under 40 has now named 280 honorees and the news of the list is out. This year’s nominees are hearing from all kinds of people whether on Facebook, via e-mail or just walking down the street. “I was in Genuardi’s and a lot of people I knew, a lot of clients, were coming up and congratulating me,” says honoree Arzum Sanchez, a real estate agent with Keller Williams. “Especially with the clients, I think it makes them feel good about the relationship. You know, that their [agent] is on the list.” Shannon Lynn McAllister, a vocational specialist for Covenant House, adds that it’s one of the first things her clients and professional contacts mention. “It’s just so nice to be congratulated from my supervisors and close friends,” she says. “Even when I call my contacts they say, ‘Hey, Ms. Superstar, we saw you in the paper. Great work!’” Of course there’s always those that poke a little fun. “Many of the people who have congratulated me thought I was over 40,” says Michael Cagno, executive director of the Noyes Museum. “I’m not sure how to take that one.” Of course for many honorees, the congratulations and celebrations can get emotional. “I have received e-mails from faculty and staff members at my job, a round of applause at a divisional meeting and my sorority has been wonderful,” says Stacey Zachoroff, director of the Educational Opportunity Fund Program at Stockton

College. “I received a set of pink roses with candles that have the number “40” on them at a chapter meeting. That made me cry. And my family was happy for me and even my son was thrilled to see his mother on the cover of the magazine.” Some even get a party. “Most of my family lives out of the area,” says Heather Santa Barbara, director of medical surgical services and pediatric services at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, A.C. Campus. “So I called them and saved some papers for them. But then they all came up to see me and we had sort of a combined Top 40 and birth-

‘I was so excited and happy that I started jumping up and down in my office.’ day party. So I got a big party.” Usually the biggest reaction comes from the honoree themselves. “I was so excited and happy that I started jumping up and down in my office with my office mates,” says McAllister of Covenant House. “I had tears of joy to follow.” “I felt awesome,” adds Michael Hauke, owner or Tony Boloney’s. “It was such an honor and I’m so glad that I was nominated and chosen. There are so many talented and interesting people trying to make this city and region a better place for commerce and living and to be mixed in the pot with them is an honor.” Excitement may be the first response, but often our honorees explain that a humbling feeling starts to take hold. “Honestly, [I felt] a bit unworthy, but very honored,” says Michael Burns, director of Burns Property Group. “There are so many young, dynamic leaders in this community that are deserving of this honor.” “It was definitely an honor, especially when I saw the other nominees,” adds

Caitlyn Bradley, director of catering and sales at the Ram’s Head Inn. “I was excited and also a bit bashful all at the same time.� And many look to the award as more of a spotlight on what they do, than themselves. “I’m not one for rewards or honors, but I am delighted that it puts a spotlight on my life’s passion, the arts,� says Cagno, of the Noyes Museum. Recognition has its perks, of course, and congratulations are always nice, but for most of the honorees, the more serious side of being chosen also shines through. For many, the honor is a validation for long hours spent at careers, study and at work in the community. “Professionally, I think it shows how hard I have worked over the past years to carve out my niche in the Atlantic City market,� says Courtney Birmingham, director of advertising and public relations for Resorts Casino Hotel. “I have been blessed to work with some really great people, and now at Resorts working with Dennis Gomes and Sherry Amos [who nominated her] is really a one-of-akind opportunity. “It’s really nice to be recognized,� she says. “Personally, I am really humbled by it. I love what I do and I am blessed to be able to do it with such an innovative, hardworking and genuine group of people. To be recognized or doing something I really enjoy is very rewarding.� Making the list can also be motivational. “This is such an honorable award and to be recognized in the community for your achievements and goals is just fabulous,� says McAllister of Covenant House.

“It goes to show that hard work pays off and it’s just wonderful to be noticed and awarded for what you do. It also makes me want to work hard to achieve more and help others in need.� “I think it’s a great for my resume as well as a little pat on the back to keep me motivated and to make sure I keep doing well for the community,� added Andy Wells, owner of the A.C. Bartender Training Center.

‘I am delighted that it puts a spotlight on my life’s passion, the arts.’ The recognition can also be a boon for business and professional contacts. “It certainly goes a long way in this community,� says Burns of Burns Property Group. “Not only does it strengthen the opinion of those who already know you, but it also helps connect you to a greater cross-section of the community that you didn’t previously know. “My personal and professional life is enriched by nurturing and growing existing relationships and by meeting and networking with new people,� he says. “The Top 40 Under 40 opens the door and connects you to the greater community.� “I think personally, it is a recognition that I have and will continue to contrib-

‘I felt grateful, to be recognized for what I do, after 20 years in the nightclub business. Steve Sagan, general manager of Atlantic City’s Casbah nightclub. “From a personal standpoint it is a great accomplishment to win an award of this honor. For years I always wondered, why not me? And to finally be named to this list, I feel relieved personally and professionally. I feel appreciated for all the long hours over all of the years that I have put in.� “Professionally, it is great press for my business,� adds Kurt Kwart, president of Ground Swell, a technology service. “My partner and I have worked really hard to make Ground Swell the company it has become. Personally, it feels good to be noticed for trying to make a difference

in the area.� And it especially helps if you are a performer, like Niko Morton, songwriter and a member of the group 120. “It means a lot,� he says “It shows people who really don’t know that it takes a lot of time and work to get to the place you want in your career. So to be recognized for your hard work and to have a light shine on what you do is a blessing. Plus the exposure is incredible.� Another question we always ask of the honorees, to somewhat predictable responses, is who was the first person the honorees called to tell the news? Mom and parents usually win, followed by spouses, sweethearts and BFFs. All of our honorees speak of tremendous support and love from their families and friends. So much so that they can’t wait to bring those friends and colleagues to the coolest thing about making the list — the annual Top 40 Under 40 celebration party, which is being held at Borgata’s MIXX again this year. Judging by the responses, the party should be packed as the nominees will be bringing boatloads of friends. “I’m absolutely looking forward to it,� says Burns, of Burns Property group. “Who doesn’t like a party? Especially with great friends, family and the opportunity to mix, mingle and network with other Top 40 nominees.� Who indeed? Congratulations to the 2011 Top 40 Under 40. Enjoy the party. You’ve earned it. N

Restaurant Week Redux By Frank Gabriel

D

just-right portion of red gravy, we could only consume one-half of this manly hero. Finishing with a semi-sweet minicannoli, our afternoon at Carmine’s was an unqualified success. Next up on the agenda was a visit to Margate’s delightful monochromatic BYOB, Manna. Our table of three devoured a number of chef John Merlino’s specialties: jumbo lump crab risotto, wild mushroom bruschetta and Scottish salmon among them. Other nearby tables found gustatory glee in the house’s paella, each order personally delivered by the babyfaced Merlino. But for me, the highlight of this visit was an entree combination of lamb chop and rib. The thick chop was served midrare, with just a hint of a pink center. Crusted with almond, the rib was noth-

ing short of transcendant. Tender and succulent, meat literally peeled off the bone. Manna’s approach to dessert, three small tastings, served as a harbinger of changes recently announced to their concept/overall bill of fare. Tapas — small, Spanish-influenced plates designed to encourage conversation and customer interaction — are now featured. Yet another reason to return soon to one of our all-time favorite seashore haunts. Lunch later that week was at yet another, A.C.’s Tun Tavern. Warm and inviting on a blustery late-winter afternoon, our town’s only brewpub provided an additional visual element: getting to watch the brew master thoroughly hosing and scrubbing down his gleaming metal tanks. Very cool. Food commenced with a basket of crisp, steaming hot fried calamari. Squid

was hand-cut in a variety of shapes and irregular sizes, an indication this kitchen is using fresh, not frozen, product. It was prepared with similar care, battered lightly, offering a bright crispness while retaining the natural seafood essence. Next up was an item that caught my eye as soon as Restaurant Week menus were officially announced. A half-pound burger, accessorized by provolone, roasted red peppers and a tangy cilantro pesto. The certified Angus beef was so moist that it required a request of extra napkins. For us, that’s always a good sign. Our meal finished with tall, cream-cheese frosted slices of a high-quality carrot cake. Closing out the week, we supped at Lisa Savage’s Sage on the final night, Saturday. Nowhere was the impact of Restaurant Week more apparent. Walking in at half past seven, we were seated at one of only two remaining tables. Soon, a line of customers would snake out of the tiny foyer, spilling onto the chilly Ventnor Avenue sidewalk. Queried, our server indicated that “60 to 70 percent� of all those seated were ordering from the prix-fixe menu. And why not, with options like these: sauteed jumbo scallops plated atop a bed of caramelized Brussels sprouts and shiitakes with an apple cider reduction and truffled potato croquettes? Or my entree, a double-cut Berkshire pork chop sided by red cabbage and apple agrodolce, creamy cheddar mash and a luscious maple syrup glaze. The thick chop — described on the regular menu as weighing in at a hefty 14 ounces — had us finishing caveman-style, grasping the meaty bone with bare hands.

ID YOU HAVE A NICE Restaurant Week? We hope so, since the event’s third campaign offered a plethora of options scattered throughout Atlantic County. The best part? Getting to sample unfamiliar fare at prices which didn’t require depleting your savings. We had the good fortune to visit four different restaurants; two each at lunch and dinner. Not a bad deal — four three-course repasts for a total of about a hundred bucks per person. First stop, Carmine’s at Tropicana’s Quarter. Eating here is like taking a short trip back in time to New York City’s Little Italy at the middle of the last century. Right down to a black and white photo of Italian tenor Mario Lanza smiling down upon us as we feasted. We began with the spring salad. Like everything at Carmine’s, it’s, well, larger than life. As in one of the house’s signature 10-inch plates, three fingers deep with field greens, Granny Smith apple slices, shaved fennel, dried cranberries and plenty of potent Gorgonzola. Dressed, not drenched, with a quality vinaigrette, this confluence of raw foods was a seasonal, textural treat. For most people, this alone would have made a fine midday meal. Delivered with a basket stuffed to its capacity by four different kinds of bread, we had to remind ourselves to save room for our sandwich. Carmine’s offered about a half dozen of these, along with a similar number of pasta items, as part of their Restaurant Week promotion. We went with a classic, their version of meatball. The crusty sub roll was packed with six large boulders of Italian-American goodness. Ladled with a

NCE AGAIN, GREETINGS AND salutations, and a very happy St. Paddy’s Day to all. Hard to believe that Memorial Day weekend is only 10 weeks away, and with it, the opening of our 40th year at Memories in Margate and partying down at the Jersey shore. Meanwhile, back in Philly we’re getting things together for our special Mother’s Day show at the Kimmel Center on May 8, “A Gift of Music,” with special guest stars Frankie Avalon, Jay Black, the Tymes, the Orlons, the Soul Survivors, and Kenny Vance & the Planotones. More about that next week — but now, it’s time to ask the Geator.

That’s definitely Stevie. That song was written by Prince, but Stevie did write Chaka’s first hit. Can you name it? If yes, you’ve just solved this week’s trivia question — answer below. I saw an article about Bunny Sigler that referred to him as “Bundino.” Is that his real name? — George Arra

No, his real name is Walter Sigler. He was nicknamed Bunny by his mom for the fully grown front tooth he had as an infant. Bundino was actually another nickname given to him by the Italian musicians and producers he worked with, We saw you in the PBS documentary on including Don Rinaldo, Vince Montana, rock DJs, Airplay: The Rise and Fall of Rock and others. When they saw that he could Radio. Do you think that with the variety of hit those notes like the great Italian tenors, programming available on satellite radio, those they gifted him with an Italian nickname, great days of creativity on the air will return?

WALTZ THROUGH TIME

Bader Field of Dreams

It was the spring of 1945 and the Yankees played the Red Sox — in Atlantic City. By Jim Waltzer EXTRA! By Parkland Nyce Dateline — Atlantic City, March 1945 Perhaps the fiercest rivalry in Major League Baseball is on display this Spring Training, as the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox duel in a busy series split between the teams’ respective Grapefruit League ball fields. The Bombers, installed for the second straight year at Bader Field (which doubles as Atlantic City’s civic airport), hope to rebound from last season’s third-place finish and regain their accustomed spot at the top of the AL heap. The New Englanders, newly arrived to the pleasant precincts of Pleasantville, aim to capture a flag for the first time since they dealt one George Herman Ruth to the pinstriped outfit that has dominated ever since. Gentlemen, limber up those throwing arms! Shake the dust-worms off the lumber! Get out in that seashore sunshine and begin your march to the pennant.

O

K, SO THERE WAS NO PARKLAND Nyce, and the windy copy above is appearing for the very first time right now in your Atlantic City Weekly. But the Yanks and Sox really did conduct Spring Training here in 1945, and faced each other in eight exhibition games before departing for even colder climes to the north. No vintage brochure could transform Atlantic City into a land of grapefruits during the month of March. The teams were here not because they preferred the bracing chill, but due to Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis’s mandate that Spring Training be held north of the Potomac River.

There was a war on and, beginning with the 1943 season, the formidable Landis, who almost singlehandedly had restored baseball’s integrity in the wake of the Black Sox Scandal a quarter century earlier had restricted the ball clubs’ travel to conserve gasoline and let the railroads concentrate on transporting troops. The former federal judge had died the previous November, but his ruling remained. So as World War II raged overseas, Boston and New York played ball in the salt air. After a spring fling in Asbury Park in 1943, the Yankees had moved south to Atlantic City and were now in their second campaign at Bader Field. After two springs in forbidding Medford, Mass., the Red Sox picked Pleasantville, where they tuned up at Ansley Field, which sat behind the old, red-brick Pleasantville High School and overlooked the bay (Ansley Boulevard ran nearby.) The unfenced field, eventually renamed for Major Leaguer and native Ty Helfrich, included a grandstand that accommodated about 500 fans. Perhaps the Red Sox figured they’d keep tabs on the Yankees by becoming a springtime neighbor. It certainly made sense for the two teams to test each other in multiple exhibition contests. Travel, after all, would be at a minimum the late Judge Landis would have given a thumbs-up. The two clubs planned a nine-game series and came up one short. Playermanager Joe Cronin, a future Hall of Famer and American League president, sent right-hander Rex Cecil to the mound to face the Yankees on March 29, and

the winning Red Sox backed their second-year pitcher with a dozen runs in the opening exhibition game before a crowd of more than 5,000 at Bader Field. The next day, the Yankees returned the favor with 14 hits for a 13-2 victory. Yankee second-baseman George “Snuffy” Stirnweiss, who would win the AL batting title that season, smacked a home run. In the third game at Bader on consecutive days, the hitting barrage continued — this time on both sides — as the Yankees emerged a wind-blown 15-14 winner with two runs in the ninth inning. After

The Red Sox picked Pleasantville, where they turned up at Ansley Field. splitting a pair with the National League’s New York Giants (whose player-manager Mel Ott was third on the career home run list at the time), the Yankees resumed play with Boston on April 3 at Ansley and fell once more to Cecil — the willowy Oklahoman had now hurled nine scoreless innings in two games, and though he confounded the Yankees in this spring of 1945 and would be the Red Sox pitcher on Opening Day, his career ended after that season with a mark of 6-10. Such are the vagaries of baseball. Winnowed by the war, Major League rosters were slim that spring. Joe DiMaggio wore khakis. Ted Williams trained as a Naval pilot. At Bader Field, the Yankees took a onegame lead in the series behind six shut-

out innings by Steve Roser (like Cecil, a short-timer) and a three-run home run from one Oscar Grimes. The next day, skipper Joe McCarthy pronounced them “better than in ’44.” McCarthy had managed the Babe at the end of his career and had led the Gehrig-DiMaggio Yankees to a string of World Series titles. His wartime pickings, however, were rather slim. Boston captured the spring series going away, scoring a total of 38 runs to win the final three games (only the middle one at Ansley). More draft calls thinned the ranks even further Yankee All-Star outfielder Johnny Lindell, who would be the team’s biggest bat in the 1947 World Series received notice, among others. After the final game on April 8, the Yankees made tracks for Trenton and Plainfield to fatten up on some Minor League competition. Despite their manager’s forecast, they were not better than they had been the previous season (or the league improved), slipping from third place to fourth. They would, of course, return to the pinnacle in years to come under the tutelage of the Charlie Manuel of his day: Casey Stengel. The Red Sox fell to seventh place (next to last) in 1945, but with their star players back in the lineup the following season, they finally snared that long-sought-after pennant. That March, they had gone to Sarasota, Florida, where they stayed for a dozen springs. The Yankees had trained in St. Petersburg, just up the Gulf Coast. The war was over. The Potomac divide was no more. Judge Landis could rest easy. For Major League Baseball, great days lay ahead. N

Ballet Russes and Orientalism influences of the mid and late teens, and the discovery and opening of King Tut’s tomb in the early ’20s, will be represented. The lingerie dresses are my personal favorite, so there will be quite a few examples of hand-made lace and floral embroidery on silk tulle. Also, an original French flapper dress with narrow beaded panels designed to ‘flap’ while dancing will be on display along with other beaded gowns, plus a few examples of vintage swimwear, bridal and men’s formalwear.” Some of the premier pieces on display, according to Brenner, are a 1920 two-piece Peplos gown outlined with Venetian glass beads and designed by

Mariano Fortuny; gowns by Parisian couturier Charles F. Worth; a lilac and lamé gown embellished with large multi-color and gold-metallic ribbon flower medallions designed by Lucile “Lady Duff” Gordon, the most popular British female designer of her era; and pieces by distinguished designers Irene Castle, the Callot Soeurs (four Parisian sisters) and the Boué Soeurs (two Parisian sisters). The show will include guest speakers and appraisers (any item can be appraised for $5), and attendees can meet Lawrence J. Zinzi, a worldrenowned Tiffany expert; Marvin Baer of Ivory Tower, one of the top experts in Oriental porcelain; and Amy Bergman,

owner of Amy Bergman Antiques specializing in decorative perfume bottles. Additionally, there will be raffle drawings for $500 shopping sprees each day. “One of the reasons vintage is just very, very trendy today is that it’s a good investment, because few things today are made as well as they were back then,” says Kohler. “Most of what was made within the last 25 or 30 years is made to be disposable, and products from the early part of the 20th century were made to last indefinitely. Even old buildings, I mean there’s some beautiful new architecture now, but everything was hand carved and hand painted and included an incredible amount of quality and craftsmanship back then that’s sort of lacking today, where things are churned out in mass quantities. “Our nation’s tastes — in furniture, clothing and home decor — are becoming more vintage in nature, which is incredibly exciting to see,” adds Kohler. “We’re now finding all consumers, regardless of age, are looking for unique, one-of-a-kind items, which can be found with ease at antique shows across the country.” JMK Shows came to Atlantic City last year, replacing the Atlantique City Expo that Ocean City private collector Norman Schaut started in 1986 at Boardwalk Hall (then Convention Hall). “We’re very happy to have this show call Atlantic City home,” says Jeff Vasser, president of the Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority. “Atlantic City has a long, colorful history and is now an exciting, modern destination with all the amenities visitors want. We provide a perfect backdrop for a show of this nature, and we welcome them to our ‘Empire.’” As an added incentive for Boardwalk Empire fans, the HBO show’s co-star Michael Stuhlbarg (Arnold Rothstein) and executive producer Terence Winter will appear at the Convention Center during the show from 2-4pm Saturday. n

aybe labeling the success of Boardwalk Empire as the sole catalyst in a fashion trend toward popular styles of the past would be padding the stats a bit, but there’s certainly a huge correlation. And this weekend’s Atlantic City Antiques & Collectors Show — the second since the northern New Jersey-based JMK Shows and Events took over a staple exhibit at the Atlantic City Convention Center — will have authentic items from the HBO hit’s era on sale and display, as presented by AntiqueClothier.com. The exhibit is entitled “Revisit the Empire Through Fashion.” “I am personally a big Boardwalk Empire fan, and the fact that the biggest show we do is in Atlantic City, where Boardwalk Empire is set in the 1920s, it just made sense for us to tie the two together,” says Allison Kohler, director of JMK Shows and the Atlantic City Antiques & Collectors Show. “All the vintage 1920s stuff has been very trendy for quite a while, so we just thought we’d play off of that with the 1920s fashion and accessories exhibit. We’ll have two of the original rolling chairs from the 1920s in the middle of the exhibit, and we have two people from the HBO show — the creator and the actor who plays Arnold Rothstein — coming Saturday for a meet-and-greet, which we’re thrilled about.” Everything at the show is on sale, including the rolling chairs, but nothing, even purchased items, will be removed until the show closes for the day. “I’ll bring more outfits than I’ll need for the exhibit, and if an outfit is purchased [Saturday] I can just change mannequins [for Sunday],” says Karen Brenner of the MarylandbasedAntiqueClothier.com. “The unique thing about the exhibit is that it will demonstrate various trends introduced by famous couture designers going into the 1920s and through the ‘flapper’ era.

HE ANTICIPATION BEGAN WITH THE ATLANTIC CITY Moonshine Follies billboard that showed off a leggy dancer’s lovely derriere. Now that the musical revue is playing at Resorts Superstar Theater, we can report that the athleticism of the dancers was not exaggerated, with costumes that accentuate the fine figures on display. Even better news is that the show, produced by Mario Bazinet, continues the excellent quality he has presented in previous locally run shows such as Best of Broadway and Piano Men. A combination of terrific song selections, a live band, outstanding singers, the aforementioned dancers and the outstanding costumes reflecting the Roaring ‘20s/Jazz Age era are a potent combination. We can certainly thank the success of HBO’s Boardwalk Empire for making the 1920s era of Atlantic City a hot commodity. Resorts itself has been using its naturally art-deco ambiance to re-brand itself as the Roaring ‘20s casino, and Moonshine Follies is the perfect show to emphasize that ambience. Dennis Gomes, the new owner at Resorts, knew it was crucial to make a good impression with the first show at the casino since the ownership change. “We wanted to come out strong and present a unique show that would really make its mark in Atlantic City,” says Gomes. “Moonshine Follies is a one-of-a-kind revue that draws on the music, energy and style of the 1920s with an exceptionally talented cast, producer, choreographer and crew, and since Resorts has not had a revue show in quite some time we wanted to really create that ‘wow’ factor. Moonshine is one of the best shows I have ever had in a theater. It’s the ’20s brought to life on stage with a modern twist. Plus, it never hurts to have incredibly talented dancers with equally incredible, nearly naked bodies entertaining the audience from the stage.” The show opens with a lovely dance to “The Charleston” and what follows in the next 75 minutes is great song after great song, some put together in medleys like the Gangster Medley featuring a snappy “Mack the Knife” delivered by singer Yoland Sirard. Sirard is an Atlantic City veteran having starred here in Best of Broadway. With a Sophie Tucker medley, the audience is introduced to the powerhouse vocals of Katee Julien. Her take on Tucker’s “The Man I Love” was just the beginning of a night in which she

dazzled the audience. Highlights beyond “The Man I Love” include: “It Don’t Mean A Thing If It Ain’t Got That Swing” and the songs “Second Hand Rose” and “My Man” from the show’s Fanny Brice medley. Hearing the Brice hits surely made some of us recall Barbra Streisand’s renditions from Funny Girl. The best compliment I can give Julien is that she did herself proud in the comparison. The other principle female singer, Karine Arsenault, brought a ton of perkiness to her medley of “I’m Just Wild About Harry” and “Baby Face,” and joined Sirard for the delightful “Crooners” medley of “Ain’t Misbehavin’,” “Louise” and “Makin Whoopee.” Sirard earned his shining moment with the splashy Jolson medley featuring “You Made Me Love You,” “For Me And My Gal” (with Arsenault) “My Mammy,” “Rock-A-Bye Your Baby” and “Swanee.” Beyond the fine singing and the swinging four-piece band, the choreography and costumes were a large part of the success of the show. The gentlemen in the audience gave an extra measure of applause when the dancers slinked onstage in the beaded attire that matched the image on the aforementioned billboard. Another dance highlight was a lovely rendition of “Singing In The Rain” featuring dancer-singer François Degenais. Moonshine Follies promised to deliver the classic music of the Jazz Age and does just that with plenty of energy and sass.

There is something very charming about hearing classic American tunes sung by French Canadian singers with their lilting accent. Yoland Sirard brings the house down nightly with his tribute to the music of Al Jolson. Sirard, who has performed several times in Atlantic City (and will be staying around town after his Moonshine gig to star in the return of Best of Broadway over at the Tropicana), says that doing the music of Al Jolson and other standards from the 1920s isn’t easy. “They are really hard songs to sing. Al Jolson was considered the greatest entertainer in the world. He was to jazz, blues and ragtime what Elvis Presley was to rock ’n’ roll. I put my heart into it. I watched many videos [of Jolson and Judy Garland]. It is one of my biggest challenges ever as a singer.” Sirard just learned that a friend of his passed away from breast cancer and he will be dedicating the rest of his performances in the show to her. He also wanted to pay tribute to his costars. “Katee [Julien] and Karine [Arsenault] are so gifted and talented. And the musicians are unbelievable and the dancers are great and the sound quality created by the technicians makes it easier to sing well. When I see the audience reacting and singing with me I’m so happy. I know that I have touched their hearts.” Sirard has been in Atlantic City enough to have his favorite places. “I love to go to the Pier [at Caesars] on the third floor and have a coffee and look at the view. I was raised in Canada near a large lake so to see the sea is incredible. Sometimes I do my [vocal] warm-ups walking on the sand.” — LH

Al Jolson, Sophie Tucker, Eddie Cantor, Maurice Chevalier and Gene Austin.” He also did research on the fashions and art of the era, “lots of art deco,” and finally chose the 34 songs in the show. While the songs are from the 1920s and even earlier, he also notes that he didn’t want them to sound, “too much like oldies.” Explains Massicotte, “I listened to numerous more recent versions of those songs. I picked Bette Midler and Rod Stewart’s version of ‘Manhattan.’ For the Jolson medley, I chose Judy Garland’ s versions of four songs from her 1961 Carnegie Hall show and Liza Minnelli’s version of ‘My Mammy’ from her Liza with a Z. And for the Fanny Brice How ‘Moonshine’ Came Together Richard Massicotte, the production designer and artistic director material, I chose Streisand’s versions. “My main goal was to show the audiof Moonshine Follies, explains that when he was told that Gomes wanted a Roaring ’20s show, he began to do a lot of research ence that these songs survived the pasabout the era.

The Caravan Is Coming!

Tickets go on sale to the public March 25 for a three-day music festival slated for Atlantic City’s Bader Field this June 24-26 — The Dave Matthews Band Caravan. By Jeff Schwachter PHOTO BY KEVIN McCARTY

as one of the four Caravan stops this year, MacDonald said that he felt the “skill level� and “execution level� with regard to the city was strong after he pitched the idea to the city. “We’re here today,� he said, because the city has been working hard with his company and with a “positive, can-do attitude.� MacDonald added that the close proximity of major cities such as New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington DC, etc., was also a factor in choosing Atlantic City for one of the festival sites. Since the official announcement, some folks have wondered why camping out will not be permitted at the three-day festival. According to MacDonald, reached earlier this week, “We will not be permitting camping at the Bader Field event site.� When asked why, MacDonald says, “The area taken up by all the festival components does not allow for space for camping.� Langford tells AC Weekly that the issue of no camping was not a decision made by the city. “The city leaves that to the promoter,� says Langford. “We just want to make use of this viable asset [Bader Field], which lends itself to concerts [and such events]. But then we leave it to the promoter to fashion it however he or she sees fit.� Despite the no-camping rule, there are a plethora of hotels and motels in the region — as well as RV and campground sites — and Atlantic City casinos have put aside 20,000 rooms for the festival, it was revealed at the press conference. With city and festival officials expecting an estimated 70,000 people each day of the three-day festival, there will be a lot of opportunities for local businesses to cash in on the Caravan.

His music site deals with several genres, including the popular jam-band genre, which acts like Phish — whom Starr Hill Presents brought to Atlantic City over Halloween weekend 2010 for three soldout shows — and the DMB fall into. Bernstein tells Atlantic City Weekly that readers of his site “were very impressed with the lineup for the Atlantic City Caravan [show]. The producers didn’t seem to base their booking decisions strictly on who could sell tickets and have offered a lineup filled with talented acts from the jam, indie and singer/songwriter scenes. Even those who don’t like the Dave Matthews Band are debating going because they want to see all of the other groups on the bill.� Bernstein doesn’t think that the nocamping policy is that big of a deal. He says it’s actually not the “norm� at outdoor concerts anymore as it once was. “Ten years ago I would have answered with a resounding ‘yes,’ [that camping is the norm at outdoor, multi-day music festivals], but each year new festivals based in urban settings — or in the case of Jam Cruise, on a cruise ship — have debuted. Many fans don’t want to go the weekend without showering or worry about waking up at 8am because they are boiling in the sun.

HERE HAD BEEN A BUZZ about a three-day music festival coming to Atlantic City’s Bader Field this June ever since Atlantic City Mayor Lorenzo Langford alluded to it briefly at the Metropolitan Business & Citizens Association’s annual Winter Luncheon, held at Resorts in mid January. The buzz grew and grew with the help of the Internet as blogs and jam-band oriented Web sites chimed in on the possibilities. Then the Dave Matthews Band (DMB) announced it would be holding four special multi-day, multi-artist festivals in 2011 titled, “The Dave Matthews Band Caravan.� Finally, on Wednesday, March 9, a press conference was held at Atlantic City’s historic Boardwalk Hall, featuring Mayor Langford; Maureen Siman, VP of marketing, Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority (ACCVA); Joe Kelly, president of the Atlantic City Chamber of Commerce and Ken MacDonald, of Starr Hill Presents, the promoter of the three-day festival. The foursome revealed that, after months of hard work and planning, one of the four slated “Caravan� events — each a series of three-day, multi-artist and multi-stage music festivals — will indeed be coming to Atlantic City’s vacant but large Bader Field June 24-26. Tickets to the three-day festival, which will include dozens of artists from many different genres, including the Flaming Lips, O.A.R., Dr. Dog, David Gray, Damian Marley, along with closing sets each night by the Dave Matthews Band — the DMB’s only live shows this year — go on sale to the public on March 25 at 10am (EST). Tickets went on sale earlier for Dave Matthews Band fan club members (March 14); the event sponsor Citi’s Private Pass customers will have second dibs at A.C. Caravan tickets on March 21 at noon. The price for a three-day pass is $195. And that is the only ticket package available. The three-day festival will be standing room only, general admission, meaning there will be no fixed seating. There will be some sort of V.I.P. packages utilizing the old A.C. Surf stadium, along with a huge video screen showing what’s happening on the stages. “We will use the entire footprint of Bader Field,� promoter MacDonald said at the press conference. When asked why Atlantic City was chosen

concerts held in A.C. last fall left a good impression on both jam-band fans and city officials. “Music fans are generally well behaved and typically spend lots of money,� says Bernstein. “Why wouldn’t you want them coming to your city? Many Phish fans had good experiences in Atlantic City and were happy with the reception they got from the community. It was very nice to know ‘we’ were wanted and I’m sure DMB fans will feel similarly.� Before tickets go on sale to the public next Friday, both city officials and Starr Hill Presents officials can only wonder how many $195 passes will be sold. Again, they are expecting 70,000 people a day. “You’ve got two main groups of people that the event will draw,� says Bernstein. “The first are the hardcore Dave Matthews Band fans. Since these festivals are the only shows DMB is playing this year, many of the group’s fans will travel from far and wide for the rare opportunity to see the band in 2011. The second set is music fans that are enamored with the lineup and the opportunity to see a festival of this size relatively close to home. I think the event will draw fans that fit into that second group from around the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast and diehard [DMB] fans from around the country. “Besides the lineup, the best thing this festival has going for it is the location. There are so many hotel/casinos, nightlife options and amazing restaurants within a few miles of Bader Field, not to mention the beach and the Boardwalk.� In Bernstein’s estimation, however, there is something the three-day festival is missing. “I wish promoters would sell single-day tickets for those who don’t want to commit to three days of music at over $200 per ticket when you include fees,� he says.

Gung Ho ‘Battle’

War in Middle East is hidden topic in this sci-fi hybrid By Lori Hoffman

M

ovies that have been up front about dealing directly with the U.S. war effort in Iraq, Afghanistan, and with soldiers from those conflicts dealing with emotional problems after they come home have been shot down by an American public that refuses to go see them. Here are a just a few of the titles that have proven to be box office poison: Grace Is Gone, Green Zone, Lion For Lambs, The Lucky Ones, Redacted, Stop-Loss, In the Valley of Elah and The Messenger. Even the Oscar winning film The Hurt Locker didn’t make a lot of money at the box office. I bring this up about the lack of interest in modern war movies because of the box office success this week by Battle: Los Angeles. Audiences that went to the film expecting a science fiction film were probably surprised that although the film is about alien invaders trying to take over the globe, the actual execution of the film says more about the emotional Battle: Los Angeles HHHH Directed by Jonathan Liebesman; rated PG13

price of war in general and the current Middle East wars in particular. This is a war movie that is dressed up like a sci-fi film to sneak in a message about Iraq and Afghanistan and damn if it didn’t work. Aaron Eckhart adds his gravitas as Marine Staff Sergeant Michael Nantz, who is retiring because he has seen too much death. However, right when he has made that decision, the world is plunged into war from the skies above as a bunch of meteors headed for earth turn out to be alien ships with an attack force designed to take over the earth. Written by Christopher Bertolini and directed by Jonathan Liebesman (Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning), once a group of marines are caught behind enemy lines in Santa Monica, the movie feels more like Black Hawk Down than a sci-fi flick. The aliens, who look a bit like the critters from District 9, aren’t superior beings with ray guns. Their weapons aren’t that much different from ours and they can be killed with bullets. However, the movie might have worked better if the screenwriter didn’t feel so compelled to include every cliché from the war film genre. We have the lieuten-

ant in charge of the mission who has no combat experience. We have civilians, including children, who are forced to see war first hand. And of course we have soldiers who don’t trust Nantz because they think he is a coward. Why? Because during his last engagement in Afghanistan, he survived but the rest of his men died, including the brother of one of the current soldiers under his command. And, because the story needed a kickass female soldier, Michelle Rodriquez was cast so she could show us that she is just as tough — probably tougher — than the guys in the unit. There is just enough CGI of flying alien craft to give this war story some sci-fi window dressing, but if you walk into Battle: Los Angeles expecting a science fiction film you’re likely to be disappointed. That the film works some of

the time should be credited to Eckhart. No matter how many clichés he has to spout, he makes us believe in his character. He can’t help, however, when the storyline gets ridiculous, as when the soldiers go looking for a major piece of alien equipment and with only the notion that it would be underground, somehow find it. Battle: Los Angeles is the first Iraq war movie that is making money because the message was hidden behind a sci-fi façade. n
