PINKY’S CORNER

Improvements Underway By Pinky Kravitz

S

INCE THE IMPLOSION AND CLEANUP of the Sands in Atlantic City, Pinnacle Entertainment, the owner of that city block, has done nothing to improve that area. Workers had removed portions of the sidewalk and street lights on both Indiana Avenue and Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard, but nothing has been done to improve the inner portion of the site. Over the past couple of years many complaints were sent to City Hall urging that the site be cleaned up. I am happy to inform you that if you drive by the site you will now see there are heavy vehicles on the ground there working to enhance the area. After much pressure by members of Atlantic City’s City Council, as well as the director of the Neighborhood Services Department, an agreement has been reached for Pinnacle to replace all the torn-up sidewalks and the streetlights that had been removed. In addition, topsoil will be brought in and hydro-seed will be used to bring up grass. The total cost for making the ground presentable is about $1 million. Pinnacle has hired the city’s Special Improvement District to oversee the redevelopment of the block. It is anticipated that the job will be concluded within a six-week period. It was a long hard fight, but a necessary one. Many of us had hoped that the ground could be used as a parking lot, but Pinnacle officials said that would be too costly. The ground is still up for sale and hopefully someone will come in to develop it.

Loveman on the Gaming Industry

“We set ourselves up for one hell of a party, and we had a lot of fun. We did a lot of fun things. One might argue that we did a few things to excess. And then we woke up the next morning and our heads hurt, things were a little disheveled. It was hard to find some of the folks we had been with the evening before. And now we find ourselves searching for a new equilibrium in a more demanding period.� These were the opening remarks that Harrah’s Entertainment CEO Gary Loveman made during his speech at the Financial Executives International Leadership Summit held at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, as reported in a story in the Las Vegas Sun on April 26. Loveman also said the gaming industry outperformed virtually every industry in the years leading up to 2007. The regulatory environment was liberalized, he added, and there were major advances in gaming equipment technology and the industry thrived in an environment of abundant and cheap capital. But then the industry became obsessed with investing in the luxury market. When companies tilted their portfolios to the luxury end, it got harder and harder for companies to pay bills, according to Loveman. And as a result, there was “stranded capital� everywhere as buildings weren’t finished and roads weren’t paved. At the summit, Loveman predicted that casino companies would now focus on software rather than hardware as they work on attracting more customers and use low-cost methods to keep customers at their properties. Loveman also pointed out that several states and local governments viewed gaming as a tax-revenue generator and initiated outrageously high tax rates. Maryland, he Join us on Facebook:

facebook.com/ACWeekly

said, imposed a 67-percent tax and placed it on revenue, not profits. The high tax rates did little to encourage investment in high-end facilities. Loveman pointed out that Harrah’s recently rolled out a simple low-cost tactic with its new Buffet of Buffets program, which offers one-cost, 24-hour access to any Harrah’s property buffet. The idea is to keep customers loyal to the company’s properties. Other highlights from Loveman’s presentation included points about how the gaming industry will seek more opportunities in Asia; Harrah’s is seeking entry into Macau and owns a golf course there. In response to a question about what Harrah’s property is most profitable, he said its highest return on investment normally occurs at properties most often considered lowend entries, such as Harrah’s on the Strip. He said there are some domestic growth opportunities for Harrah’s, but the high-tax environment will prevent it from making large investments. Loveman views Ohio and Massachusetts as potential opportunities, he said. The company also plans to press for legalization of online poker. Harrah’s owns the World Series of Poker franchise.

Redevelop Atlantic City

The following are recommendations made by Tom Cantone, former VP of entertainment at Trump Entertainment and the Sands and now senior VP of sports and entertainment at Mohegan Sun, to enhance the future of Atlantic City: “With new blood at the top, [the city needs] a leader who represents new core values, [and who will] return the view of the ocean from the Boardwalk, clean up storefronts on the [Boardwalk] to look like Disney’s Pier, have each state sponsor their namesake [street, such as] Kentucky Avenue, Indiana Avenue, etc., bring back Miss America and [have] major name concerts on the beach, offer sports betting to counterpunch table games surrounding Atlantic City, and lastly, make it the ‘Safest Town in America’ and promote it as such.�

New Stores on The Pier

Rumors abound about the future of The Pier Shops at Caesars. Let me inform you that The Pier is here to stay. Negotiations are underway as to the sale of The Pier Shops at Caesars. Several stores have moved out, however several are also moving in. Here are three new stores that will soon open there: Cameo Water Wear; Shoe Be Doo, a new shoe store; and A Lady of Comfort, a new boutique store featuring ladies shoes and accessories. We have been told there are more to come. Stay tuned. n

Cody Sanchez Scholarship Benefit

Cody Sanchez’s love for music and talent as a drummer was evident at an early age, but a tragic accident in July 2009 ended his promising life just 10 days after his 13th birthday. His parents, Robert and Gracia Sanchez, and brother Rocky subsequently started the Cody Sanchez Memorial Fund to keep his memory alive, and to raise scholarship money for students interested in pursuing a college curriculum in music. This Friday, May 7, the Cody Sanchez Memorial Concert and Chinese Auction will take place at the Beacon Church in Galloway Township. The $10 entry fee will be applied toward the fund, a 501(c)(3) foundation, and will include several live musical performances starting 7:30pm. The Chinese auction and 50/50 drawing will start around 9pm. Tickets will be available at the Beacon Church, located on 6th Avenue between Rt. 30 and Jimmy Leeds Road in Galloway. Bands will include Treachery Is Your Forte from Galloway, Resin8 from Ocean City, a solo by 17-year-old drum prodigy Anthony Wagner and others. Broadcaster Al Horner will be the event host. Many local restaurants and merchants have donated cool gifts for the Chinese auction. If you cannot attend but would like to contribute, send a check to Cody Sanchez Memorial Fund, P.O. Box 994, Pomona NJ 08240. — Ray Schweibert

Running for Breast Cancer

Many charities hold special runs and walks to raise funds. But when the Shirley Mae Run & Gilda’s Club Walk is held Saturday, May 8, on the Boardwalk in front of the Taj Mahal, the festivities run a lot deeper than just a jog down the Boards. First, in honor of the Shirley Mae Breast Cancer Assistance Fund, a parade of breast cancer survivors will start the day just prior to the event. About 250 survivors, clad in pink, will descend the casino’s oceanside steps escorted by members of the St. Augustine Crew team. As organizers of the event put it, “Day to day these women are mothers, grandmothers, sisters and even daughters. But on this day, they are all breast cancer survivors.â€? It’s a pretty nice start to an event that should attract nearly 2,000 runners and walkers. The Shirley Mae Run is a 5K and Gilda’s Club — which provides support to both cancer patients and their families — hosts the walk. There is also a Kids One Mile Fun Run. And it doesn’t stop there. Also scheduled are free health screenings from AtlantiCare, complimentary massages and face painting, mascots from Steel Pier, WaWa and Rainforest CafĂŠ, and free refreshments. Not to mention commemorative merchandise to support the funds. For information, visit shirleymaefund.org. — Mike Pritchard

HOB Wishes You Godspeed House of Blues’ Foundation Room is usually a private club, but every Thursday night the public can join in the fun. By Ray Schweibert

PHOTO BY RAY NUNZI

F YOU’VE SEEN SHOWS AT THE House of Blues’ Music Hall or Club Harlem Ballroom, or been inside any of its ancillary components at the Showboat casino, you’re aware of the role authentic artwork and artifacts play in the décor of each room. That’s the case to an even more elaborate extent inside the Foundation Room. Few may know that, though, as it’s only been utilized as a private club since House of Blues (HOB) became part of the Showboat in 2003. That is, until now. Every Thursday night, the Foundation Room opens its doors to all who wish to enter for an event called Godspeed. It is a fun-filled night of music, dancing and drink specials, and modeled after the hit sensation of the same name that’s been a longtime staple at the Las Vegas Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay. “Normally and until recently we had been just members only, but if no shows were scheduled [at HOB’s concert halls] on a Wednesday or Thursday night it would be like a ghost town in here,” says Foundation Room manager Lauren Naranjo. “Since we started [Godspeed] on Thursdays it’s not uncommon to get as many as 500 to 600 people in the course of a night. It’s been a huge hit and people have really been enjoying it.” Total capacity for the Foundation Room — which includes a spacious oceanfront outdoor deck, large ornate bar area, private “prayer rooms” and large and small dining rooms — is around 350 when both dining areas are cleared of tables and chairs. All the rooms are adorned with statues and artifacts from India and Asia, hand-carved wall mountings, handpainted mahogany doors, ceremonial masks and authentic Persian rugs. “All the artwork and artifacts are authentic,” says Naranjo. “What a lot of people don’t know is that House of Blues is actually considered a folk-art museum because of how big its collection is, so you’ll see folk art in the Foundation Room, the Music Hall, Club Harlem Ballroom, Club Worship, the House of Blues restaurant — it’s everywhere.” Entertainment promoters Solid Enuff and 1Source Events provide the DJs, many being among the most recognizable names on the Atlantic City nightlife scene. The music is mostly Top-40 hits and mash-ups. Nightly drink specials Join us on Facebook:

include $3 Bud and Bud Light bottles, $4 Heineken bottles and $5 Absolut vodka cocktails. VIP bottle service is offered throughout the night, including $150 specials on Absolut. “Reservations [for bottle service] are preferred since we have limited space, but we can usually accommodate walkins,” says Deanna Coppola, Foundation Room marketing and operations manager. “Those who make bottle-service reservations never have to pay the cover.” Godspeed arrived in A.C. in October 2009 and was an almost immediate hit. “It started off strong since this is the first time we’ve ever opened our private club to the public, but now it’s really built in to a great night,” says Coppola. “We’re looking forward to the warmer weather so we can also utilize our balcony overlooking the ocean for bottle service.” Godspeed Thursday is the only night open to non-members, but membership at the Foundation Room also has its privileges. It offers elegant dining (from 6-10pm every Wednesday and Thursday, and 6-11pm Friday and Saturday), live entertainment, advance concert notification and preferred HOB concert seating, complimentary Sunday Gospel Brunch tickets, and discounts at certain golf courses, spas, retail stores and rentalcar agencies. Foundation Room members can also travel to any other House of Blues location in the country and enjoy all the same benefits. n

ALLY’S ATLANTIC CITY IS losing its Bikini Beach Bar this summer — but don’t go crying in your beer just yet. Rock singer and inveterate party animal Sammy Hagar will add his name and fame to the Atlantic City beachfront Memorial Day weekend when he opens a branch of Sammy’s Beach Bar & Grill at Bally’s. “It’s going to be the best food and drinks in the most casual environment with some rock ‘n roll thrown in,” the former Van Halen frontman-turned-solo-artist told me late last week. “Where else can you come out of the ocean, sit down, grab a drink and something to eat and listen to good music? It’s gonna be a fun hang.” Not surprisingly, the union between the casino and Hagar was brokered by Hagar’s longtime friend, Don Marrandino, president of the eastern division of Harrah’s Entertainment, which owns Bally’s. “Sammy has built a career about being a beach guy,” Marrandino said of the Red Rocker, who was born in Monterey, Calif. “He was the first guy to go down to Cabo [San Lucas, Mexico] and turn it into a rock place 20 years ago,” he added. “He is his own brand, and he stands for good old rock ‘n roll, good music, fun and just hanging out.” The joint venture between Hagar and Harrah’s is another attempt at creating a tighter bond between the casino company and the entertainment community in an effort to rebuild, revitalize and re-brand Atlantic City, Marrandino explained. “People like celebrities, and one of the things Atlantic City hasn’t done a good job at is creating [relationships] with the celebrities,” the casino boss said. “We’re trying to change that and I think we’ve got the perfect guy [in Hagar] to help us.” Hagar and Marrandino, a native of Brigantine, met in Las Vegas years ago, when the casino executive was climbing the corporate ladder. They hit it off immediately and have become so close that Hagar, 62, refers to Marrandino, 50, as “my big little brother.” “We’ve done other projects together and they’ve always turned out amazingly well,” Hagar said. “I have no doubt Sammy’s Beach Bar will be successful.” Hagar currently has several Sammy’s Beach Bar & Grills, which are mostly in airports. He also owns several Cabo Wabo Cantinas, including the original store in Mexico. Hagar said he’s very careful about

12

whom he partners with because at the end of the day, it’s his reputation that’s at stake. “I don’t pursue people I don’t know about things like this,” Hagar said. “Because when you do something with someone you don’t know, the next thing you know is they’re coming back to you and saying, ‘Hey, guess what? We turned it into a strip club, or we turned it into a disco.’ I can’t let that happen, because I have a very strong image and brand [to protect] with anything that has to do with me or my lifestyle.” Hagar said he jumped at the opportunity to work with Marrandino, and not simply because of their friendship. “Don claims, and I almost agree with him, that he may get my brand better than I do,” the Red Rocker said with a laugh. “So when he comes in and says I wanna do [the beach bar], there were never any questions.” Hagar is scheduled to preside over the formal opening of Sammy’s Beach Bar & Grill — date to be announced — but beyond that, he doesn’t have a list of scheduled appearances. However, Marrandino expects to see his buddy on a fairly regular basis this summer. “It won’t be very scripted,” Marrandino said, “but we do expect him to pop in and out during the summer. Even when he’s not here, he’ll be here in spirit.” By setting up shop on the beach, Hagar will become one of Harrah’s Entertainment’s “community partners” and help the company in its efforts to give back to the region where it owns four casinos. “I give all the money away to charity, so it’s not like this is some big business venture for me,” Hagar said. “It’s really about the community. So now in Atlantic City, I can start my services for kids. It’s all about helping kids, their education, feeding them, clothing them, housing them, whatever is takes. It’s all about kids.” Oh, one last thing about Sammy’s Beach Bar & Grill. “We do have a dress code,” Hagar says. “Anyone who shows up in a jacket and tie, we won’t allow them to sit down. Except for Don [Marrandino].” n

WHITNEY’S RADAR

Goddess of the Garden By Whitney Ullman

W

ITH THIS PAST WEEKEND’S beautiful weather, the outdoor parties are already starting. With Memorial Day weekend approaching, and summertime BBQs ahead of us, we need to start preparing our patios and backyards. I know this is a dreaded task for some, but it’s something that can be a lot of fun and there are even several local professionals who can help you. One local gardening coach in our area is Liz Donaghy, the founder of Garden Goddess by the Sea (GGBTS). Donaghy’s company is a “personalized gardening coaching service,” committed to bringing beauty and pleasure to homeowners through gardening and outdoor living. Looking at Donaghy’s Web site (gardengoddessbythesea.com), you’ll find the following questions: • Do you love the idea of gardening, but are unsure what to do? • When you tell your lawn guy to “make my property look pretty” do you get your desired result? • Are you interested in seeing what all this fuss is about growing your own vegetables, but you only have a limited space to do so? • Do you know how to create beautiful container gardens that pop?

Join us on Facebook:

Dishing out advice on various topics to our readers on issues related to networking, dating, employment, news, events, shopping and much more. She is the current president of the Greater Atlantic City Jaycees and owner of www.GoToWhitney.com.

Donaghy wants her customers to know that GGBTS can help homeowners turn their vision for their outdoor spaces into reality. This is a unique service that you may want to look into. Everyone in my family knows that gardening is not my thing, but I have always been intrigued with the patience people have when getting down and dirty. I am also always amazed at the beautiful flowers and fresh vegetables that come from some good ol‘ TLC. Looking at Donaghy’s Web site, there are quite a few very useful services offered that even someone like me could take advantage of. And another cool thing I found out was that Donaghy knows how to do what’s called a “squarefoot vegetable garden,” which can be done in a very limited space. For those who live in condos and apartments where it’s difficult to have a garden, it can be possible, according to Donaghy. Some of the services GGBTS offers include “Garden Coaching,” which is an

on-site consult and evaluation; “Small Scale Garden Design,” which helps you design a plan for a garden project and implement the plan; “Gardening Consulting,” when GGBTS sources materials and installs the platings from designs created by the homeowner or the company; “Windowbox-Containers-Pots,” which is when GGBTS will design, source materials, and install unique four-season container gardens and the “Square-Foot Vegetable Gardens,” which is what I think is the coolest service. Garden Goddess by the Sea, serving Atlantic City, Ocean City and the Downbeach areas, is also available for keynote speaking, workshops and seminars. For those of you who may not have space to garden, and the “Square-Foot Vegetable Garden” isn’t an option, then check with either your condo association or even your municipality to see if they offer a community garden. I know that Galloway Twp. has a beautiful community garden and so do other surrounding municipalities. If you don’t have one in your town, you can find more information on the American Community Gardening Association (ACGA) Web site at communitygarden.org. According to the ACGA, a community garden can be in urban, suburban or rural locations. It can grow flowers, vegetables and (best of all) your community. It can be one community plot, or it can be many individual plots. It can be located at a school, hospital, or in a neighborhood. It can also be a series of plots dedicated to “urban agriculture,” where the produce is grown for a market. If you haven’t done much gardening but have always wanted to, go for it this season. And make sure to invite me over for some fresh veggies. n

IT’S A STORE.IT’S A SCHOOL. IT’S A PLAYGROUND FOR COOKS.

HE INAUGURAL BORGATA SPRING Poker Open finished up play last Friday, but actually only needed until Thursday to crown a winner of the Open’s championship event. Alex Queen of Bethlehem, Pa., won the $355,535 top cash late Thursday. Jason Min of East Meadow, N.Y., the chip leader going into Thursday’s play, took second and $205,965 and third went to Dan Hinden of Danbury, Conn., at $101,756. The $3,500 buy-in Championship event drew a low turnout of 383 players, which is probably why a fifth day of play wasn’t needed, but did cover its $1 million guaranteed prize pool. The Open also included the East Coast Championship, won by Sorel Mizzi, who officially took home about $170,000 (though, he and runner-up Chris Klodnicki reportedly agreed to a split on the final hand). For a first-time event, the Open brought out some notable pros such as Steve Dannenman and Gavin Smith, as well as actor James Woods. It also attracted more than 1,200 players to its opening event. (Woods played the championship event, but washed out on day two as he watched pocket queens crumble before trip kings on his last hand). Action at the Borgata kicks off again May 16-19 with a $500,000 guaranteed prize pool deep-stack tournament. The $1,500 plus $150 event starts players off with $30,000 in chips. Of course the next big event in the city starts May 12 as the World Series of Poker (WSOP) satellite event starts at Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City. The satellite event will feature 16 events with buy-ins ranging from $230 up to the May 22, $2,150 deepstack main event. The winner of the May 27 final event — a $1,100 buy-in — gets a $10,000 seat at the WSOP main event in July at the Rio in Las Vegas. Registration is already underway for the satellite event at the casino. Call 441-5741. Finally, Harrah’s Resort was the scene of a pretty unusual poker table as George Stephanopoulos of ABC’s Good Morning America filmed a special segment April 29 where he learns poker from pro Annie Duke and then plays a game with pros the likes of Phil Helmuth. The spot, which aired Wednesday, May 5, is part of the show’s “Living the Dream” segment that

10

facebook.com/ACWeekly

allows each GMA anchor to live out a specific dream. First up, Stephanopoulos got some poker pointers from Duke, who was teaching a World Series of Poker Academy at Harrah’s Resort last weekend. Then Stephanopoulos faced off against Duke, poker bad boy Phil Helmuth, poker pro Steven Beigletter (who made the final table at last year’s WSOP) and poker pro Jason “Jaspuduf” Lee in a special game. To see a clip of the action online visit acweekly.com/poker. Duke, who has been promoting the WSOP at Harrah’s Resort and will appear May 21 and 22 at the satellite event, told Poker News Daily about filming the GMA piece: “I was very excited to get to teach poker. With some of the attacks on poker that have happened, it’s nice that George is politically savvy. When he was asked what he wanted to cross off his bucket list, he answered poker.” You can check out breaking poker news in Atlantic City and from local tournaments at “The Real Deal” poker blog at acweekly.com/poker. Here’s a look at regular tournament action in Atlantic City: The Borgata: The Borgata offers 85 tables and features all variations of Texas Hold ‘Em, 7-Card Stud and Omaha. The casino has daily poker tournaments with buy-ins of $100 + $20 weekdays and $300 + $40 Friday and Saturday. Special room rates are available for all tournament players. Caesars: Caesars offers regular Deep Stack Gladiator Games V, daily tournaments with $100 + $20 buy-ins Sunday through Friday and $150 + $25 buy-ins on Saturdays. Tropicana: The Trop Poker Club is a full-service, simulcast facility, featuring 35 poker tables, and comfortable race areas. Daily tournaments are $40 + $12 ($50/$12 Sun. 11:15am) buy-ins on weekdays and $100 + $22 buy-ins on Friday and Saturdays. Poker card holders can earn comp dollars, ranging from 50 cents to $2 an hour.

5 Questions With... Bill Burr

Look for the popular comic at the craps tables after his Taj Mahal gig Saturday night By Jon Heacock

B

PHOTO BY BRIAN FRIEDMAN

ILL BURR, WHO WILL PERFORM at the Xanadu Showroom at the Trump Taj Mahal on Saturday, May 8 (8pm, $28.50), usually describes himself as uninformed with relation to world events, in no small part due to the fact that he seems to hate reading. He is, however, much more enthusiastic when talking about sports and other little everyday occurrences that most people can relate to. After all, people look to comedy just as much to get away from the pressing matters of the real world, right? Bill Burr spoke with Atlantic City Weekly shortly before beginning a stretch of shows in the United Kingdom. Does your act still play well overseas or do you have to change up your material? Just subtly. There might be a couple of, like sports figures, if you go real American, real specific [it can be a problem]. I tell stories. I saw Billy Connolly — he’s a [Scottish] comedian — and I saw him in New York City. He was just telling stories about people he grew up with and stuff that happened in his life and even how he saw the world. And it all translated [to me] so I’m not too concerned. What was your reaction to the US/Canada hockey games during the Olympics? I think it was very positive. They used to kill us and it just shows how far American hockey has come. And they used to blow us out 7-2 so the fact that we actually went into overtime was great, but I really wanted us to win because 75 percent of Canada was watching and it’s very rare that you have a chance to devastate a

whole nation without committing an act of war. You know, just by putting a puck in a net. I was just happy that we scored that overtime goal with like 20 seconds left so they all collectively shit their pants up there. It would be nice if more people liked the sport down here. I’m huge into it. Sometimes when people criticize it they sound like they just rented Slapshot and it’s like 30 years ago. They’re like, “all the goonery and the thuggery in the league” and it hasn’t been like that. They were getting rid of that stuff when I was a kid. And also they decide to ignore the amazing [and] unbelievable physical condition that you have to be in to skate like that. It’s hard to skate 30 miles an hour while some guy’s trying to knock the hell out of you. Whatever, I like that it’s a rogue sport on another level because they’ve yet to make pink hats like they did with the Red Sox.

Could you talk a little about your upcoming projects? I have another stand-up special coming out called Let it Go that I taped at the Fillmore in San Francisco. It was an amazing night and we just got done editing it. I’m really excited about that coming out and right now I’m writing a new hour [of material]. I just shot a short film with two buddies of mine, Joe DeRosa and Robert Kelly. We all came up with the story, Joe wrote it and he directed it and acted in it. Me and Bobby put up some cash along with Lou Wallach. And we just went ahead and shot it and it’s called Shooting Angles. Other than that I got a small part What sports are you paying attention to now? in this film called Date Night that stars I’m paying attention to hockey. I’ve given Tina Fey and Steve Carrell — but don’t up on baseball. When they get a salary cap, sneeze or you’re gonna miss me because I I’ll watch baseball again. I can’t get up for only have like eight lines. Yankees, Red Sox and Angels every year in the American League. I was just reading What are your plans for Atlantic City after an article [that said] the San Diego Padres the show? have some amazing first baseman who I gotta admit, I like the craps table. I’m they say will not be with the Padres come a ham, I like talking shit and that type the trade deadline and they’re already bringing up the Red Sox picking him up. of stuff. As I’m starting to get a little bit It’s just like, why don’t they just reduce it older blackjack is becoming more appealto those two teams? Just put every great ing just because you get to sit down. player on both, let them all do ‘roids and [Laughs] That’s what it is, and then as just let them battle it out. You know some you get like too old and no one even of the best years in baseball when I was wants to hook up with you and you can’t growing up were when the Pirates won, afford good inserts then you go over to when Kansas City won, Baltimore won one year, the Brewers that year when they the slots. I think that’s how it works. So played the Cardinals was a great time. I’ll be at the craps table. After my show, You can’t have the same guys every year. I if fans wanna hang out with me that’s don’t know how that sport survives. where I’m gonna be at. n

Old Homestead Steakhouse

Address: The Borgata, Atlantic City Phone: 317-1000 On the Web: theborgata.com

Where’s the Kobe?

Right here at the Borgata’s Old Homestead in Atlantic City By Frank Gabriel

A

S THE FINAL REMAINING anchor restaurant in Atlantic City’s Borgata complex since its inception, Old Homestead Steakhouse recently achieved the distinction of having served its millionth customer in just seven short years. Those statistics become even more astronomical when broken down for examination a bit more by Executive Chef Romeo DiBona. Try and wrap your pointy little heads around the fact that since its inception, Old Homestead has plated up more than 300,000 each of oysters, jumbo shrimp and filets. Throw in 215,000 clams on the half shell and almost 40,000 jumbo lump crab cakes, too. How about 84,000 cuts of their signature 36-ounce Gotham Rib steaks or nearly 65,000 New York strips. It’s enough to make any red-blooded carnivore’s head spin. Local patron Eric Schepps was fortunate to become that milestone million man on Friday, March 8. In celebration, he was gifted with a complimentary dinner for two every year for the rest of his life by co-owners Greg and Marc Sherry. Massive as those figures might seem, Marc Sherry shared with us that the flagship NYC facility anticipates serving its 10 millionth person sometime in May of this year. Open since 1868 — America’s first steakhouse — Old Homestead has been owned by his family for 70 years. Sherry, contacted via a phone interview,

asserts that, “Our formulas are very simple; we never vary on what we do. All our beef is USDA prime, dry-aged, obtained from a large amount of providers.� That pool of purveyors allows company representatives the opportunity to personally visit and inspect their operations in advance of any meat being shipped. Sort of the edible equivalent of pre-qualification for a mortgage or car loan. Even so, the Sherry family’s standards are never forgotten nor ignored, and Mark Sherry adds, “We routinely reject 50 percent of what gets to our door.� That brass-knuckled attitude translates into a truly world-class dining experience for anyone visiting Old Homestead, which has a third location in Boca Raton, Fla.

When asked about plans for further expansion Sherry indicates that he anticipates opening in Macao, China, on the South China Sea just west of Hong Kong, in the not-too-distant future. A New York City steakhouse on the South China Sea — yet another sign that the world is indeed becoming one small village. On a more accessible front, the owners also have “a deal on the desk for signing� to place an initial Burger Bar restaurant “just down the street� from their original steakhouse in New York City’s meatpacking district at 56 9th Avenue. This gourmet burger concept isn’t novel here. Both A.C. and N.Y.C.’s outposts feature a big-ticket, 20-ounce American Kobe (translation: raised from the same breed of

steer, Wagyu, as bona fide Japanese Kobe) burger. It’s widely acknowledged throughout the gastronomic world as being the biggest, baddest and best anywhere as well as the most expensive. Remember the old adage: “If you have to ask, you probably can’t afford it?� ‘Nuff said. But New York’s Old Homestead also offers a similar product that will be available once Burger Bar commences business, a more affordable, full-pound prime steakhouse burger (translation: featuring ground trimmings from Old Homestead’s always amazing cuts of beef). Atlantic City’s restaurant, in addition to being the Borgata’s eldest, is also its sole bi-level eatery. Another unique quality is their possession of the Macallan Fine & Rare Vintage Scotch Collection in its entirety, dating from 1926-1975. Only five bottles of the 1926 spirit exist in the world, and two of them are at Atlantic City’s Old Homestead. Design elements prominently feature artwork from renowned Brooklyn-born artist/filmmaker Julian Schnabel. These include his portrait of “Annabelle,� the company’s bovine mascot, whose figure sits atop the marquee at the New York Old Homestead, proclaiming widely, “We’re the King of Beef.� That kind of seemingly hyperbolic speech would typically be summarily dismissible by this corner. However, for a restaurant company who can state, with complete veracity: “Serving great steaks since Johnson was President — Andrew Johnson,� who are we to argue? n E-mail Frank Gabriel at fgabriel@acweekly.com

Mark Knopfler: Sultan of Songs The gifted musician and songwriter will ‘Get Lucky’ at Caesars Saturday night By Jeff Schwachter

Mark Knopfler w/ Pieta Brown Where: Caesars, Atlantic City When: Saturday, May 8, 9pm How Much: $80-$125

‘The thing about the old Dire Straits songs is that they are signposts for people’s lives.’ a huge symbol of the MTV generation with its classic videos for songs such as “Money for Nothing,” “Walk of Life” and the album’s title track. “So Far Away From Me” was yet another of the album’s many chart hits, further solidifying the band’s status as superstars. But Knopfler says he’s never been comfortable in that position and would rather be playing and recording than giving interviews or focusing on his own life. Over the past decade, on album’s such as 2000’s Sailing to Philadelphia and 2007’s stellar Kill to Get Crimson, he writes about the same topics as on his earlier work with Dire Straits — people. Their tiny lives. Their big dreams. What’s inside their toolboxes. Like a gifted novelist, Knopfler has been working at and trying to perfect his craft as a songwriter — and storyteller — for decades and in the meantime has earned the respect of many in the world’s music community. Knopfler has explored many different genres of music on his solo albums — from hillbilly to Celtic — and has worked with an all-star line up of collaborators including James Taylor, Van Morrison and Squeeze (on Sailing to Philadelphia), Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris (2006’s All the Roadrunning, which made it to the 17 spot on the Billboard Top 200 album

chart) and Chet Atkins (on 1990’s Neck and Neck). Along with all of this, Knopfler has served as a fine film soundtrack man as well. Early on in his career he scored the films An Officer and a Gentleman (1982) as well as Local Hero, Cal, Comfort and Joy and The Princess Bride. In 1986, he did the music for Martin Scorsese’s The Color of Money (parts of which incidentally were filmed in A.C.). Which brings us back to Get Lucky, a follow-up to Knopfler’s critically acclaimed 2007 masterwork Kill to Get Crimson, an album that Rolling Stone called “a gem.” If Crimson’s a gem, Get Lucky’s pure gold. Songs like “Border Reiver,” “Hard Shoulder” and “Before Gas and TV” stand among Knopfler’s greatest songs and keep the quiet, haunting and traditional sounding aspects of the songs on Crimson. Even nearly 25 years ago Bill Flanagan remarked on what a talent Knopfler was: “Mark Knopfler seems to be about the most competent man in the world,” he wrote. “The albums he writes and produces for his band Dire Straits, sell millions of copies — their appeal based on Knopfler’s voice, Knopfler’s guitar and Knopfler’s songs.” And Flanagan hadn’t even heard a single solo record yet. These days it appears that Knopfler is mainly interested in making and performing quality music. He releases albums frequently and often tours in support of them. In a release to the media for Get Lucky he is quoted as saying how much he actually enjoys to tour and that fans can still expect to hear old Dire Straits tunes

along with the new stuff. “It’s like being the captain of a little fighting ship really,” Knopfler says in relation to touring, “and I enjoy the team thing about going on the road; I enjoy being with the crew.” The usually modest Knopfler adds, “The thing about the old Straits songs is that they are signposts for people’s lives. Obviously I’ll play them differently here and there to keep it alive and meaningful to me, and away from a cabaret thing. But there are times, like the twiddly bits at the end of ‘Sultans,’ if you don’t do your twiddly bits, the world’s not right for people. “I like playing the old songs. I wrote them and people like to hear them, it’s as simple as that.” But for the past 25 years it’s been a lot more than twiddling for Knopfler. He has proven to be one of the world’s great guitarists, premier songwriters and can say that he produced a Bob Dylan album. Knopfler has also proven to be a risk taker throughout his career, an attitude that usually works for him. Even back in the mid-‘80s, for Flanagan’s interview, Knopfler said, “I’m very glad that I’m continually putting myself in situations where it’s being made absolutely obvious that the directions which I feel like charging off in aren’t the right directions at all.” Twenty-five years later and he’s still steering his career that way. Postscript: Be sure to catch the opening act, Pieta Brown. She is the daughter of another one of the modern era’s greatest singer-songwriters and storytellers, Greg Brown. Pieta’s got a beautiful and ethereal voice and her fan base has been growing since her 2002 self-titled debut. She released One and All last month. n see more online @

Get Lucky, Knopfler’s latest CD:

HEN AN ESTEEMED MUSIC journalist includes you in a book of collected interviews with some of the modern era’s finest songwriters — Bob Dylan, Van Morrison and Tom Waits among them — you must be doing something right. The above refers to Mark Knopfler, who is included among 20 or so other modern songwriters in Bill Flanagan’s insightful book on the topic of songwriting, Written in My Soul, published in 1987. That Flanagan chose to include his interview with the Dire Straits frontman in the book, years before Knopfler would pen his best material — at least in this writer’s humble opinion — shows how long the 62-year-old Glasgow, Scotland native has been respected as a songwriter. He’s also a revered guitar player, band leader, producer and collaborator. Way back in 1979, before Dire Straits became mega stars, Dylan had Knopfler and the band’s drummer Pick Withers join him for the recording sessions of Dylan’s Slow Train Coming album. He would later produce and play his syrupy, subtle and bluesy guitar on Dylan’s 1983 album Infidels. And he’s been busy ever since. This spring he’s touring North America in support of his latest studio release, 2009’s Get Lucky. You can bet that Knopfler will whip out cuts from the gorgeous album, such as “You Can’t Beat the House” and the title track, when he appears at Caesars in Atlantic City this Saturday (May 8). Including last year’s critically acclaimed Get Lucky — USA Today hailed it as an “instant classic,” adding that the album is “a beauty, full of ripe, haunting melodies and gently vital, folky arrangements that showcase his robust and lyrical guitar work.” — Knopfler put out five outstanding solo albums last decade. The last studio album he recorded with Dire Straits was 1991’s On Every Street. Just six years before, Dire Straits was a band that couldn’t be any hotter. With a bunch of hit singles and albums under its belt, including “Sultans of Swing” (Dire Straits’ first single, released in 1979) and “Industrial Disease,” Dire Straits struck gold with 1985’s Brothers in Arms. The album not only made the band — and Knopfler — a household name across the globe, but it became

Kevin Hart Where: The Borgata, Atlantic City When: May 7, 9pm; May 8, 8 & 11pm How Much: Sold Out

Actor and comedian Kevin Hart has made his family life an open book, and fans love him for it. By Michael Pritchard

T

M A Y 6 , 2 0 1 0 / A C W E E K LY. C O M

O CATCH COMEDIAN KEVIN Hart’s stand-up act is to catch a slice of his life — a lot of his life. You’ll be there from when his young children start asking for juice in the morning to the dark zaniness of a family funeral. Before it’s all over, you may know more about Hart’s family than your own. “My best stuff comes from my kids,” Hart tells Atlantic City Weekly during a recent tour stop in Baltimore. “Just being around them and hanging with them. That’s where the funny comes from for me. They just make me laugh and, hopefully, sharing those stories with people, they’ll see the same humor in it that I do.” Hart’s young children and his marriage were the fodder for his successful 2009 Comedy Central special Kevin Hart: I’m a Grown Little Man. Of course, so was his diminutive 5-feet, 4-inch stature. “If I laugh at it first, then its funny,” he says. “It disarms the audience. Then you can laugh with me.” In 2010, Hart, who brings his new “Seriously Funny” tour to the Borgata in Atlantic City for three sold-out shows May 7 and 8, has expanded the “family” in his act. “Right now it’s about taking it a step farther than just talking about my kids,” he says. “Now I’m bringing in my immediate family, you know my mom and dad. “I’m more family based,” he adds. “Topical humor isn’t for me. I’m not really interested in it and in order to do comedy, and do it well, you really have to be in love with your craft. And the way to stay in love with it is to talk about things you can relate to.” Still, while fighting with his daughter over juice or his tips on how to win an argument with his wife have an edge of conflict in them, in his new tour, Hart says he’s ready to really open up to audiences. “The new stuff includes my mom passing away and my dad being sick,” he says. “I’m basically taking that pain and turning it into humor. I find a positive

in every negative. Right now I feel that’s where I have the most success — in taking those dark things and going to those dark places and allowing people to see my life and what I’m going through. And laughing at it and realizing that every negative can be turned into a positive.”

‘I’m basically taking that pain and turning it into humor. I find a positive in every negative.’

Take his mother’s passing five years ago. What’s funny? Well, the rest of his family at her funeral. “I just discuss the funeral and how crazy the funeral was and the people who made it crazy and the things that happen at a funeral,” he says. “You know when your family goes to those things you really begin to learn things about people.” It’s a lot of openness on stage, especially for a guy who is on the verge of breaking out as a major comic actor on film. Hart appears in the current (and somewhat coincidental) Death at a Funeral with Martin Lawrence, Chris Rock and Danny Glover. Though he has a small role in the film as the funeral director, most reviews say he’s a scene-stealer. But Hart has had many small roles in films such as Soul Plane, The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Scary Movie 4. He’s also had his shot at several TV series, including the recent short-lived (but underrated) Krod Mandoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire. In the fall, he’ll appear in Little Fockers, the next installment of the Meet The Parents franchise. He plays a nurse under the direction of Ben Stiller’s Gaylord Focker, who is head nurse. “It’s a great part and there’s one great scene in particular,” he says. “But actually I’m in about six scenes.” Despite being on set with actors such as Stiller, Lawrence, Rock and even Robert De Niro, Hart says he’s become comfort-

able on movie sets. “It’s my job now,” he says. “I mean it’s a blessing that I’m at a point where I’m at and I’m working with the people I’m working with, but not to the point that I’d be intimidated. Instead it just shows I’m on the right path. Now the goal is just not to mess it up. Just not think about it so much that you start doing a bad job.” Fans can also look forward to a new comedy special, also due out on DVD, of “Seriously Funny” in July. The special was co-produced by Shaquille O’Neil. “Shaq is a good friend of mine and he’s a producer and not just an athlete,” Hart says. “And he was sort of looking for a lane to play in on the production side. Comedy is just something that he loves and he’s a fan so we got together and gelled and said let’s do this.” It’s a long way from when the Phillyborn comic first started. A shoe salesman (“I still have a shoe fetish,” he says), friends urged him to try stand-up. Hart hit an amateur night and “fell in love with the craft.” He then began working clubs and even made some

appearances in Atlantic City at a now defunct dance club. “I worked a bar in Atlantic City called Sweet Cheeks,” he says. “It was like a local bar where they put in a stage and they said to me, ‘We’re going to have a comedy night,’ and I hosted it. It was real rowdy — really rowdy. It was ghetto crowd, but I loved it. I would drive back and forth from Philly and it was always such a big deal that I was going to Atlantic City. “Atlantic City is Philadelphia’s version of Vegas, so it was a real big deal to play there,” he says. “And now, to be going there on the scale of the Borgata, that’s huge. That’s more than huge.” It also gives him a chance to explore another love — playing poker. He says he’s bound to hit the Borgata’s poker room. “There’s no probably about it, I’ll be there,” he says. “I think I get into the city on Thursday and you’ll see me out there.” But don’t think we’ve just tipped you off to something private. Just like in his act, Hart’s life is an open book thanks to his affection for Twitter. “I absolutely love Twitter,” he says. “That’s the way to stay in people’s minds. Right now I have about 270,000 followers. And they’re people who I talk to and who talk to me all day. You really feel connected.” But then that’s just another aspect of Hart’s crowded life, which, among other things, also includes doing successful commercials for eBay and touring nightclubs and colleges. Hart also hopes to include directing and producing in that career. But as much as Hart broadens his career, there’s still part of him that will always be a shoe salesman who took the mike on an amateur comedy night in Philly. “I’m always going to be a comedian first,” he says. “Acting is great, but at the end of the day I’m still a comedian. Stand-up comedy is where I started and if you take that away, I don’t have anything.” n see more online @

HETHER YOU CALL IT “fairway fever” or something similar, it is probable area golfers have never looked forward to getting back into the swing of things more than this spring. With that hellacious winter and not a whole lot of encouraging news where their company 401(k)s are concerned, the sound of a Maxfli sailing off the sweet spot of a seven iron is going to be music to golfers’ ears. Hell, even a profanity-laced tirade when said Maxfli gets sliced into a pond might be music to their ears after this past winter. “The thing about February was, we had so much snow that none of the courses in the area were even open, but we had a great March, April proved to be pretty good, and we’re really excited about the season overall,” says Brian Hoey, chairman of the Greater Atlantic City Golf Association (GACGA). “People just want to be outside in the nice weather, and there’s a really optimistic feeling going around. “When we go to the golf-and-travel shows and trade shows, we always ask the customers if they plan to play more, less or about the same golf this year than last,

and so far the response has almost universally been more or at least the same. So the outlook is very bright. To me that shows that despite the bad economy and despite the bad weather, people are still anxious to get out and play.” Jeff Vasser, the executive director of the Atlantic City Convention and Visitors Authority (ACCVA), says the push by convention planners to bring more golfindustry activity to the Atlantic City area, along with local courses and country clubs devising creative stay-and-play packages as an enticement, is at peak levels right now. “As we move away from gaming as the focal point of our marketing efforts and strive to become a more well-rounded destination, golf has certainly been an important tool in our marketing tool kit,” says Vasser. “In recent years we’ve had to come up with more compelling reasons for visitors to come to the Atlantic City area other than slot machines, and our abundance of exceptional golf courses has certainly helped fill the void along with great restaurants, headliner entertainment, shopping destinations, the beaches and Boardwalk and, of course,

conventions.” ForbesTraveler.com recently ranked Atlantic City No. 6 on its top-10 list of best golf destinations in the nation — a distinction based not only on the quality

Atlantic City has a rich heritage in both regards. “[Golf’s] a tremendous asset to the leisure traveler, and where we have the advantage is being able to offer guests so much more than just golf,” says Vasser. In 2004 a partnership between the ACCVA and the GACGA was formed with the intention of marketing the area more specifically to golf. In a way, the troubled economy has actually served as a boon to the golf industry in Atlantic City

compared to other golfing hubs that rely more on fly-in traffic like South Carolina, Florida and Arizona. “Prior to [2004] the golfing industry was another segment of the market that was being underutilized, and we began to make a more concerted effort to raise the number of rounds being played and bringing more people here specifically for golf,” adds Vasser. “In the past couple of years, because of the economy, more golfers have opted to stay closer to home rather than to travel to places like Hilton Head [S.C.] and elsewhere. Atlantic City is ideally positioned and easily accessed from many East Coast cities, and the quality of our courses and reputation our area has developed has prompted more golfers to say: ‘Let’s try A.C. instead of Hilton Head.’” Golf’s popularity crosses more age groups than perhaps any other participant sport, and area courses by no means cater exclusively to seasoned veterans. In fact, the demographic where the most growth is occurring could be the younger generations. “I would say that after the winter that we just had and with all that snow, I saw see more online @

Hamilton Trails G.C. more signs of cabin fever this year than in years past, for sure,� says John Petronis, founder of the Junior Golfers Association of America (based in Atlantic County and founded in Cape May County). “Despite the economy, I’m seeing plenty of growth in youth golf since parents will tend to cut expenses elsewhere before taking something positive away from their kids.� Petronis operated a single tournament when he began his youth program in May 2000 — the Cape May County Jr. Championship — and now organizes over 30 of them. “I’ve found more families coming out and taking lessons together, spending some quality time together for two to four hours, and getting some good exercise in at the same time,� says Petronis. “What other sport allows you to do all that? Golf is a hard sport to get proficient at, but the nice part is that when someone learns golf they can play it for the rest of their life, which is not the case with most other sports. If kids dedicate themselves to golf, even for a month or two, they can develop a manageable swing that will stay with them forever.� Economically speaking, the golf industry also has a huge impact on many locally based charities. In May alone the area’s courses will make way for tournaments that raise funds for Community Quest Inc., the Dean Randazzo Cancer Foundation, the HERO Campaign, the United Way Jaws Youth Fund and others. The Ensign John R. Elliott “Be a Hero� Golf Tournament celebrates its 10th year on Wednesday, May 12, at Sand Barrens Golf Club in Swainton, and could surpass the $500,000 mark in contributions to the HERO Campaign for Designated Drivers. “In the first nine years we raised over $440,000,� says Pam Tyson, director of community outreach for the HERO Campaign. “It’s quite a milestone to reach 10

years and it has grown each year. We’ve had many loyal sponsors and golfers, and our host sponsor, MediLink, has been with us the full 10 years. The campaign is named for Ensign John R. Elliott, who was killed by a drunken driver in July 2000. While at the Naval Academy, John was selected as the outstanding HERO [Human Education Resource Officer] of his graduating class, and now the HERO Campaign is saving lives nationwide.� Next month the ShopRite LPGA Classic will return to Atlantic City after a four-year absence. About 150 of the world’s best female golfers will compete on the Bay Course at Seaview Resort in Galloway from June 14-20. The tournament had been in A.C. for 20 years before the hiatus (1986-2006), and not only has it been a shot in the arm for the local economy, it’s raised tens of thousands of dollars for various charities. “It’s shaping up to be a really strong field — one of the strongest fields on the LPGA Tour,� says ShopRite LPGA media representative Cathleen Kiernan. “People are excited about its return, but I think a lot of people may not be aware of the impact this tournament has had based on all the money it raises for charity, which is really what the LPGA Tour is a hallmark for. “The Community FoodBank [of New Jersey] is one of the main charities it’s benefiting. There are eight official charities, all located here in our region, and additionally there’s something called Ticket Charity Partners, where ticket buyers are given the option of which charity the 50 percent of their ticket cost will go to when they purchase them. That gives spectators the opportunity to support a worthy cause of their choice as well as enjoy one of the best tournaments of the year.� (Visit acweekly.com for the “Good Golf Guide.�) n

While golf is a sport that all ages can participate in, let’s face it, it can get kind of pricey. That’s particularly true of an area like southern New Jersey where many of the top courses on the East Coast reside. The expression “you get what you pay for� does not exempt golf, and unfortunately much of the expense of maintaining a couple hundred acres of pristine playing conditions must be passed along to the consumer. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t ways around breaking the bank. You don’t have to be rich to play on the area’s premier public courses, just a prudent, cost-conscious consumer. Right off the top, many courses offer discounts to students, seniors and/or in-county residents. It’s also less expensive to walk the course rather than renting a riding cart, and with that comes the added benefit of exercise. Most courses are also cheaper to play during the week than the weekend, and many offer “twilight� rates that reduce their greens fees later in the day. Another excellent way to save — particularly for those who golf often — is the Tee Time Golf Pass, which is a book offering discounts to over 470 golf courses in the greater northeast area, primarily throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and West Virginia. It costs about $60, but the potential is there to save thousands. “Sometimes [courses] offer free plays like buy-one-get-one-free, or you might just pay the cart fee on a particular course, but the average savings is usually around $20 per play,� says Brian Hoey, chairman of the Greater Atlantic City Golf Association. “So if you use it three times you’ve already made your money back. Most of the people who buy it say they play at least 20 times a year, so they’re saving a lot of money with it.� The pass offers 288 rounds at 59 courses in New Jersey alone, which — if you were to actually use it that many times — would be a savings of $5,760 in greens fees. Those who purchase the Tee Time Golf Pass through the Web site acgolfvacations.com will also receive the Atlantic City Golf Pass, giving them 40 plays at eight area courses including Blue Heron Pines, the Links at Brigantine Beach, Harbor Pines, Mays Landing, Sand Barrens, Seaview, Shore Gate and Twisted Dune. The Web site also features a tee-times window that allows users to see what times are available at each course on a particular day, and how much the rates are on that day. Seaview Resort in Galloway has come up with an innovative way to save money through its “Take Me Out to the Golf Course� promotion. Golfers who bring in a 2010 professional baseball ticket stub (major or minor leagues) will receive $25 off Seaview’s greens fees after 10am weekdays or weekends. The offer is valid for one ticket redemption per person per month through the end of August. — RS

Mother’s Day Music Fest

Boardwalk Hall welcomes the moms, the Isley Brothers and more on Saturday. By Raymond Tyler

HAT ITS PROMOTERS HAVE dubbed the “Mothers Day Music Festival” takes place on Saturday, May 8 — the day before Mother’s Day — at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. Doors open at 8pm for the concert that will include the Isley Brothers, Teena Marie and the Whispers. The show features three of R&B’s most successful and enduring acts, each as unique as they are musically gifted. Here are my Top 5 reasons to see each act scheduled to participate in this show. The Whispers 5. Even if you don’t like the Whispers your mom, your wife or the woman in your life (even if she’s white) will love you when they sing “Chocolate Girl.” 4. Twin brothers Wallace and Walter Scott are back in good health and singing better than ever. 3. The last time I saw the Whispers they sounded great, but their suits were so loud they had their own speaker systems. Hopefully they have gotten the memo that if it’s not Easter 1978 or your name isn’t Bishop Magic Don Juan, rainbow color suits are not fashionable. 2. You can hear 40 seconds of a song and know it’s the Whispers. They have Join us on Facebook:

The Isley Brothers have recorded Billboard charted hit records in every decade since the 1950s. Their styles have included rock, doo-wop, funk, R&B and hip hop. They have made music to make babies to (“Between the Sheets,” “Voyage to Atlantis”), rock classics (“Shout,” “This Old Heart of Mine”), and may have more hits records than K-Tell and Now That’s What I Call Music put together. I saw the Isleys at Unity Day in Philly in the 1990s and Ron Isley bragged to the crowd: “If you ain’t tired, I’ll keep singing. We made over 50 albums; I can stay here all night.” n

Fur-antic

Critters on the warpath in awful ‘Vengeance’; Controversial ‘Kick-Ass.’ By Lori Hoffman

T

HANK GOODNESS THE SUMMER movie season begins this week with Iron Man 2. It has been rather difficult recently to find a film worthy of leaving one’s couch when one has inviting Netflix envelopes beckoning. Of course, I’m a film critic so I’m supposed to go see movies for a living. Such is the state of movies that I ventured forth to see something whose very title suggested a disaster in the making, Furry Vengeance. And yes, the movie lived down to its title. There has been one good movie based on the premise of non-animated CGI animals, Cats & Dogs, which has a sequel coming out this summer. Furry Vengeance is about as bad as one can get when it comes to making a movie that is supposed to be environmentally and kid-friendly. If your idea of being kid-friendly is having a movie that refers to animal bodily functions as much as possible (look out for the skunks!) and Furry Vengeance Directed by Roger Kumble; rated PG

HHHH Kick-Ass Directed by Michael Vaughn; rated R

shows that animals can be as angry as humans, Furry Vengeance is the movie for you. And, while I understand that Brooke Shields doesn’t get many movie offers these days, I’m perplexed as to why Brendan Fraser signed on. Is he trying to kill his career?

Kick-Ass

Controversial Ass-Kicking On a brighter but more controversial note, Kick-Ass is an incredibly funny and incredibly violent movie based on a comic book series, about a teen named Dave (Aaron Johnson) with no super powers, who wants to become a super hero because he thinks he will look cool. In his first opportunity to be a hero he gets knifed and hit by a car. Despite this setback, he goes back for more punishment, becomes an Internet sensation, finds out there are other, more accomplished super heroes out there, Hit-Girl (Chloe Grace Moretz) and Big Daddy (Nicholas Cage), and joins forces with them to destroy a mobster (Michael Strong) and his henchmen. Kick-Ass director Michael Vaughn directed the terrific and ultra-cool mob thriller Layer Cake, and does a nice job

hitting both the action and the comedy notes in the film. The fact that Kick-Ass is so violent and features a 12-yearold character as a killing machine has stirred some critical bashing for its moral stance. It was based on a comic book and featured comic book violence, which can be extreme. I thought it was funny and clever and the violence didn’t bother me. n

I loved Lynn Redgrave and was thrilled when I got to be in the same room with her during a press conference at the Toronto Film Festival in 1998 for Gods and Monsters. I was saddened to hear that she passed away this week at the age of 67 after a seven-year battle with breast cancer. Like so many movie buffs, I became a big fan of hers thanks to her brilliant performance in the offbeat 1966 hit Georgy Girl; as an “ugly duckling” myself I identified with her performance as a plain Jane who is looking for love. While she appeared in numerous films after that, they were mostly in supporting roles. She did most of her best work in the theater, including shows that she wrote about life in her famous family, such as Shakespeare For My Father. She was the baby of the Redgrave family that included brother Corin (who died last month), sister Vanessa and her actor parents Michael Redgrave and Rachel Kempson. Her niece, actress Natasha Richardson, died last year in a skiing accident. It has been a bad year for the Redgrave family. As the down-to-earth member of the family, Redgrave did tons of TV work, including recent stints on Ugly Betty, Law & Order: Criminal Intent and Desperate Housewives. She loved America and became a U.S. citizen. Lynn Redgrave was “the other Redgrave sister,” but when she appeared in a project, be it a terrific movie like Gods and Monsters (which earned her a second Oscar nomination), or an episode of The Love Boat, she always brought a smile to my face. — LH
