Mardi Gras on the Move

By David J. Spatz

C

ONTRARY TO OUTWARD appearances, the concept of the traditional casino production show isn’t dead. It’s just wearing a new set of clothes.

There’s a show in town that’s got everything audiences have come to expect from a traditional casino revue: sexy dancers, great singers, specialty acts, colorful costumes and popular music.

And it’s got one other element that sets it apart from all other shows: the ability to pack itself up and take its act on the road — or, in the case of Showboat, down the long main corridor linking the hotel lobby with the Boardwalk entrance.

Welcome to The Show, a free, 50-minute, heavily themed production that slowly moves through the property on a portable stage three times a day, Wednesdays through Sundays.

Introduced last summer, The Show takes the concept of strolling entertainment to a new level.

“Showboat is based on the Mardi Gras theme, and we wanted to bring Mardi Gras to life in the middle of the casino,” says D’Ann Glenn, regional VP of entertainment for Harrah’s Entertainment, Inc., one of the company’s four Atlantic City casinos.

Although The Show begins with the cast of 20 performing on several small, fixed stages just across from the hotel’s front desk, the action soon shifts to a floatlike, two-level stage that’s actually a selfcontained, self-propelled venue with its own on-board computerized lighting and sound system.

After gathering a crowd in pied piper-like fashion at its starting point, the performers never miss a step or a note as the stage slowly leaves its moorings. The cast works on both levels of the float and in the floor space surrounding it.

Accompanied by the audience, which seems to be irresistibly compelled to follow the parade, The Show slowly makes its way down the corridor, gathering more people as it proceeds.

By the time the float stops just across from the entrance to the House of Blues restaurant, dozens of people have followed the parade from its starting point, while curiosity about this moveable entertainment feast causes an even bigger crowd to build.

There are three distinctly different themes for The Show, which is presented at 3:30, 6 and 8pm. The newest, “Club Eclectic,” was introduced last month and Join us on Facebook:

has a decidedly modern feel, including the music of Lady Gaga.

It’s all an attempt to provide entertainment for the broad demographics Showboat tends to attract. The property generally sees an older crowd during the day and, because it’s the home of the House of Blues, a younger audience at night.

Adding a youthful twist for the evening show is an attempt to play to the audience, says Blair Farrington, a former dancer-turned-impresario and the creator, choreographer and executive producer of The Show.

“It’s really geared toward a younger audience,” says Farrington, “but there’ll also be some retro things for some of the older people that they’ll also enjoy. ‘Club Eclectic’ is a very modern and contemporary view of what Mardi Gras and carnival in [Rio de Janiero] is all about.”

Farrington created The Show for Showboat, modeling it on The Show in the Sky that he developed for the Rio All-Suites Hotel in Las Vegas, which is also owned by Harrah’s Entertainment.

Developing a show that spends most of its time on the move presented its share of challenges for Farrington, whose production and costume companies have been based in Las Vegas for 25 years.

“The cast has to work in small spaces,” Farrington says. “They climb the float, they work on two levels, they work on a stage, they parade and dance, it’s really a very non-stop show. [They’re] performing to people all around them all the time, so things are always changing.”

In addition to the new “Club Eclectic” theme, The Show also pays tribute to Mardi Gras and Carnival in the first two presentations earlier in the day. Because he’s been producing shows for so long, Farrington has the resources to quickly change out elements in each of his shows, which makes for a fresh look. “[The changes] makes it worth coming back to see over and over, to see how it changes, how different it’s going to be from the last time,” he explains. n

Atlantic City: DJ Central

2010 International DJ Expo Where: Trump Taj Mahal, A.C. When: Aug. 16-19, events all day How Much: $50 to $150 daily

The 2010 DJ Expo shows how much the expo and the resort have grown together in 20 years.

T’S BEEN MORE THAN 20 YEARS since Vinny Testa, the publisher of DJ Times magazine saw a need for a publication to serve a little understood type of entertainer.

“I mean there were trade magazines for guitar players and musicians and everyone else,” he says in a telephone interview with AC Weekly. “I thought why not for DJs? And at the time, DJs were just starting to get hot.”

Two years later, with Jim Tremayne now as editor (who also spoke to AC Weekly), the two hit on an idea to hold a convention and expo for disc jockeys.

Their choice of venue was Resorts in Atlantic City. But at the time, 1990, it was simply a logistical choice as Atlantic City hardly had an abundance of nightclubs and DJ venues.

“It was just centrally located,” Tremayne says. “There weren’t really too many venues in the city at the time that we used.”

But the idea worked, and about 800 to 1,000 aspiring young DJs showed up for that first expo.

“It really fit a crucial need and was successful from the beginning,” Tremayne says. “It gave DJs a place to come to learn about products and technology and all aspects of the business.”

For the 20th anniversary expo — to be held Aug. 16-19 at the Trump Taj Mahal — much has changed, both for the expo and its original host city.

Now the expo, which draws between 4,000 to 5,000 DJ professionals from around the country, is spread out in the resort with events at the House of Blues, MIXX at Borgata and the Taj’s Casbah nightclub.

And the city just seems like better DJ ground in 2010. Celebrity DJs, such as Samantha Ronson who appears often at MIXX, are a constant in a resort that sports several new nightclubs and a renewed commitment to nightlife.

Throughout the expo, that vibe will be even stronger as parties and special events are scheduled with DJs such as DJ Skribble, DJ Shiftee and DJ Jazzy Jeff making appearances.

But both Testa and Tremayne are quick to point out that the expo is for all DJs, whether they are rocking clubs in Miami or working weddings in Millville.

A complete unknown: Lady Gaga at the DJ Expo in 2008

“This is very much for the DJ who works a wedding,” says Testa. “They are what we call mobile DJs and they’re the backbone of the industry. You know, a lot of very famous DJs started off with weddings and bar mitzvahs.”

In fact, one of the most successful DJs of all time, Dr. Dre, started off as a mobile DJ in Los Angeles, Tremayne says.

“They are also the one’s who need the most equipment,” he added. “They need their own lighting and sound systems.

There’s a lot of technical information and displays for them at the expo. These seminars are designed to help the professional DJ get his or her business up and running and growing.”

Seminars are available on every aspect of being a DJ from “You Don’t Have to Be Jewish to Mitzvah” or “Weddings 03: How to Sell to the Bride.” One seminar focuses on group dances and games.

But also included as part of the expo are seminars on equipment, sound mixing and a host of other technological points. The expo also features more

than 100 vendors displaying products and a lot of networking and business opportunities.

But as anyone knows, DJs are first and foremost about having fun, and the expo presents a slew of parties and events after the seminars and business are done.

“Well, we do have to give our attendees some fun,” Tremayne says. “That’s what the people want.”

Perhaps the biggest party is Tuesdays’s “Pioneer Party” at the House of Blues.

Scheduled to perform are Mike Posner, Kelly Rowland, Shaggy, Salt-N-Pepa, Judy Torres, Alexis Jordan, Auburn, Jessica Jarrell, Jump Smokers, Kaci Battaglia, Tiffany Dunn and Tino Coury.

If only some of those names are familiar, don’t worry. You never know who may break out as a star.

“I remember in 2008 we were setting up the lineup for the party at the House of Blues,” Testa says. “Somebody said they had a good act, but I had never heard of her. Nobody had heard of her. But we went with her anyway. She was Lady

Gaga, so that turned out pretty well.”

The most public event of the expo will be an after party scheduled for the Taj Mahal’s Ego Lounge on Wednesday.

While the expo does sell special event passes, it is a trade exposition and the organizers’ main goal is serving the professional DJs. “When we started this magazine, most of the DJs out there were mobile DJs,” says Testa. “They were working the college campuses and the small clubs.

And through their work, they started to become the new rock stars. All this that you see today with the stars and the big clubs came out of that group. When I talk to a famous DJ like DJ Skribble, and he tells me he grew up with our magazine, it feels pretty good.”

And perfectly at home in Atlantic City.

“Atlantic City has been very good to us,” Testa says. “It’s always given us exactly what we need.”

So now, let’s spin some discs.

5 Questions With... DJ Royale

itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great creative release to show people what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re capable of and it shows people that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re versatile and that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dedicated to your craft [as opposed to] the â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just want to go make some money and get drunkâ&#x20AC;? type of DJs.

By Talim Adderly

I

Tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S COMMON TO HEAR SOMEONE say that with faith, hard work and dedication you can be or do whatever it is that you want in life.

The journey to success will not come easy though. It takes a lot of dedicated time, focus and concentration. Just ask DJ Royale, a 24-year-old Philadelphia-based DJ and a graduate of Temple University.

At Temple, DJ Royale studied film and media arts. He began spinning during his freshman year and has been evolving as one of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best and most wanted DJs. He credits fellow Philadelphian DJ Jazzy Jeff, among other DJs, as being an influence on his art.

Even through these rough economic times, Royale still manages to maintain his DJ career (check his Web site for his packed schedule) and locally spins house and techno music at Atlantic Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dusk at Caesars on the venueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Global Fridays.

While he has several regional gigs during the week, Royale is also releasing a new club mix, which will be out Aug. 13.

DJ Royale is one of the hardest working DJs around and has even started to bring his skills to Los Angeles, San Francisco and Hawaii.

With the International DJ Expo celebrating 20 years in Atlantic City this coming week, we chatted with DJ Royale.

to the lifestyle vs. the [DJs] who are like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yo, I really love music and I want to play dope music.â&#x20AC;? It almost became a fad thing lately. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like this, have patience and stay motivated. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re patient and you really love it and you put the time in â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like actually practicing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when it comes down to it, [youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be ready]. Be home, have your shit set up, and practice. I spend hours and hours a week ciphering through new music and all that just because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how much time it takes to be on top of your game and to be able to adapt to different crowds and know what the people want. And with this Internet age and the music industry nowadays itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never ending.

When and how did you determine DJ Royale would be your DJ name.

This could be interesting. I actually have a story. My mother is white and my father is half black, which makes me 25 percent or a quarter black, and so in college, my freshman year, a couple of my fraternity brothers started joking with me and gave me the nickname â&#x20AC;&#x153;Royale with Cheeseâ&#x20AC;? referencing the movie Pulp Fiction. There is a scene in the movie with John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson, talking about how in Europe since they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the same measurement system, as they use the metric system, there is no such thing as a Quarter-Pounder at McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. They call If you could give advice to an aspiring DJ, it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Royale with Cheese.â&#x20AC;? So they started what would it be ? calling me that and at the time I was still My advice would be, first, that you hope- only spinning at parties and bars and I fully love music. You see, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard. You needed a DJ name, so I made it my DJ have some guys who are more connected name since it was already my nickname.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a typical workday for you?

Well, I usually sleep later than most people [laughing]. Once Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m up, I spend time handling regular things, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going grocery shopping or visiting family. Usually, depending where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m spinning that night, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m either catching cabs or trains. I get to the venue and do my job. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a night when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not spinning, I still go out, even though sometimes I would rather be in the comfort of my own home, I have to go to other DJ events just to network. You always have to know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Out of sight, out of mindâ&#x20AC;? is very true! So Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m constantly keeping that in mind. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always out staying on top of my game.

You have been spinning at Dusk at Caesars since it opened in July 2009. Do you like the nightlife scene here in Atlantic City?

Actually, I do. Before me getting the gig at Dusk, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come down here really that much because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite a hike from Philly and besides that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not much of the gambling type. But the few times I have, I had a ball. Now that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m at Dusk, I love it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more in tune with whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on. It would be nice to get out more in Atlantic City and see more DJs and more clubs. Another reason why I was excited about being brought down to play in Atlantic City is because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more of a destination city. You get people and acts from all over the world. Now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m able to connect with people all around the country and around the world. A lot of DJs donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have access to that. n

How important is it to your career that you release mix-tapes? Do you feel obligated to do so to stay afloat with the competition?

Honestly, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be making mix-tapes and all this stuff to be a legitimate DJ, but, again, at the end of the day not only are you good at your craft you essentially become capable of handling multiple positions at different business levels. I want to be good. I want to be universally good at everything. I want to be making my own music, original stuff.

I want to be putting out mix-tapes. And

WHITNEY’S RADAR

Be Safe. Be Aware.

By Whitney Ullman

ID YOU EVER READ ONE OF those chain e-mails about your safety and think, “Wow, I never thought of that,” and then become paranoid about the issue(s) at hand?

I often wonder if learning those things is really good for us so that we can be prepared in a potentially dangerous situation, or if ignorance is really bliss and it’s better to just act on instinct in those same situations.

I bring this up because last week I received an e-mail forward that was actually a spoof on all of the things some of us read throughout the year. Although it was in a funny context, it made me think of all the random ways someone could try to harm another person.

Such as: Don’t park next to a van with no windows because someone could grab you as you go in or out of the car. Or be aware of people outside of the mall who are offering perfume samples because it could be a drug and they could rob you.

And don’t open your door if you hear a baby crying outside because it’s a ploy for you to come out and check. And then if you see a note on the back of your car, don’t stop and get out after you reversed because, again, it’s a ploy for them to have easy access to enter your car and harm you. The list could go on and on, and whether there is some truth to them or not, when we hear about these things it makes us paranoid.

To protect yourself in any scary situation you should always be aware of your surroundings, and listen to your local news so that you can hear about what is going on in your area. Most importantly, you should look into self-defense courses.

There are a couple of ways to go about it. First, the traditional way would be to go to a martial arts academy. Locally we have the Eastern Martial Arts Academy in Atlantic City (easternmartialarts.net) and then Modesto’s Karate Academies LLC in Egg Harbor Twp. and Margate (modestokarate.net), to name only a couple. Second, all I have been hearing about lately is how awesome and popular kickboxing is among my friends and colleagues. Many people I know truly enjoy going locally to L.A. Boxing in the Somers Point ShopRite plaza. They love that they get a great workout and have the option to learn various fighting styles such as boxing, kickboxing and

MMA. On a national level there is the Association for Women’s Self Defense Advancement. Their annual conference is Nov. 4-7 in Arizona. More info can be found at awsda.org.

Taking courses is a way we can do our part to protect ourselves, but there’s also the technology aspect.

Lately I’ve been hearing about a technology that would not only help decrease crime and increase safety, but is also a great concept and illustrates “thinking outside the box.” I’m talking about the Atlantic City Chariots of the Sky Gondola Project. I recently spoke to Cynthia Cortopassi, the facilitator of this concept, and she is just bubbling with excitement about the necessity for the city to have it.

She boasts about the statistics of how something of this stature could reduce the potential of crime, as people would be safe in the gondolas. They would not only be helpful in the traffic aspect, since you wouldn’t have to take your car everywhere you have to go, but also because it would be connected to all of the casinos and would take guests safely to their destination without the need for a designated driver, and/or without the worry of walking the city streets late at night.

I guess to answer my own question, I think it is always good to be prepared so you can be ready for any type of situation that comes your way. Even if some of the things you hear sound really bogus you just never know, and the bottom line is that you need to be prepared. Plus, you may have the opportunity to come to someone’s rescue if need be.

Whether you take classes for yourself or you hear about great ways that technology can help, remember that safety should come first. n

THE CITY BEAT

Summertime Reading

By Raymond Tyler

S

UMMERTIME IN ATLANTIC CITY usually means nightclubs, beach bars, concerts and increased traffic.

But I think you should take some time out to enjoy a few good summer reads as well. So, here are some personal picks for not just books, but places and events you should consider sampling this summer.

Brotherman: Dictator of Discipline (volumes 1-3, by Dawud Anyabwile and Guy Sims. See brothermancomics.com) — The year was 1990. Brotherman: Dictator of Discipline changed the way I looked at comic books, life and business. Between the covers, Tony Valor fights crime in Big City’s court as the D.A. by day and Brotherman by night, keeping the streets of Big City safe. Brotherman took intellectuals, the hip-hop world, and comic readers by storm. It’s laced with amazing art by Anyabwile and top-shelf writing

by Anyabwile’s brother, Guy Sims, inspiring generations of creators and business people to do what they love to do. So if you are a comics fan or a culture fan, I suggest that you add the new trade paperbacks Brotherman: Dictator of Discipline to your library.

The Soul Connection every Monday — In May I started an openmike series called the “Soul Connection” at Sam’s Bar and Grill in Pleasantville (18 S. Main St.). From 7-10pm every Monday, writers and artists just hang out. While I anticipated that poets, singers, and comedians would stop by, I am surprised and pleased to say quite a few authors, writers and book publishers stop by from time to time. Many of the area’s most artistic people come together

Here are some picks for books that other people from around the area have suggested: Aaron McGruder’s A Right to Be Hostile: The Boondocks. “I suggest it because it’s funny.” — Barry Aishton, college student.

A Civil Action by Jonathan Harr. “A true story about one the nation’s largest corporations hurting children.” — Thadd Gaskins, music producer.

The Lion and the Mouse by Philadelphia author/illustrator Jerry Pinkney (a book for children). “It was awarded the 2010 Caldecott Medal, and is a simply stunning book.” — Barbara Brenner, owner of Brenner’s Brew in Bridgeton.

Remembrance and Dignity Is A Choice

by Cheryl B. Sellers “I just finished reading Remembrance. It’s an excellent book.

I’m now reading Dignity Is A Choice, which chronicles the lives of two families caught up in life’s forces fueled by hate.”

— Jeffrey Lasster, basketball coach.

Uptown by Virginia DeBerry and Donna Grant. “I generally read two novels per month. I created the Readers Journey Book Club Network in 2006 to bring book clubs and authors together in Atlantic County. I just finished reading Uptown because this novel takes readers to the new Harlem and it also makes us look at family dynamics and relationships in a fresh, new light.” — Karen Brundange-Johnson.

Atlantic City Library: the place for teens and tweens — I am proud to say that the Atlantic City Free Public Library is a great place for teens to hang out, express their creativity and just enjoy being a teenager. The library has a teen center with state-of-the-art computers, video games, CDs, and something we all need this summer — free air conditioning. Most area libraries now have teen centers or are building them, so even if your teen can’t get to A.C., call up your local library and ask what services and readings they have just for teens.

Monday nights for the food, the open mike and to network. Recently, Cheryl Sellers decided to have her official book signing party for Dignity Is A Choice at the “Soul Connection.” More book-signing parties are being scheduled for the end of summer and the fall.

SINDUSTRY WEDNESDAYS

TLANTIC CITY HAS CARVED OUT a niche for itself with its competitive and plush casino poker rooms, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean city casinos arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hedging their bets against online poker some day becoming legal.

In fact, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already working on the computer software.

This comes from Mark Juliano, president of the Casino Association of New Jersey, who spoke last week at a legislative gaming summit called by State Democrats, The Casino Association has formally come out against moves in the state Legislature to try and bring sports betting and Internet gambling to the state in light of federal bans on both.

But Friday at the summit, Juliano said casinos are preparing for Internet poker (and other games) to become legal, whoever passes it first. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are all working with software programs to provide a mode for online poker rooms and casino games and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re obviously watching the legislation on this very carefully,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do think that it is inevitable that it will pass at some point and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just waiting for some legislative direction.â&#x20AC;?

Of course the legislation the casinos are most likely watching is Rep. Barney Frankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (D-Mass.) bill in the U.S. Congress to make Internet gaming legal in the country.

Juliano, who is also head of Trump Entertainment Resorts, repeated what the association has said all along, which is that the issues have to be settled under federal law, not state law.

Still, his comments show that at least some Atlantic City casinos hope to get in on the action should the federal bill be adopted.

While a company like Harrahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Entertainment, which owns four Atlantic City casinos, might choose its Vegasbased casinos for an Internet hub, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance that other resort casinos might make that hub Atlantic City.

And that could only help the city.

Meanwhile, Atlantic City rooms are still realizing that one of the best ways to fill their tables up with real players is through the bad-beat jackpot. In June, Trump Taj Mahalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bad beat grew to a record $672,115, setting off a bad-beat frenzy that packed the room 24/7 for

nearly a month.

Since then, city rooms have been trying to figure out how to elevate their badbeat jackpots (which are just progressive jackpots culled from the table bets). The easiest way is to have the jackpot not hit for a while as the amount grows.

Last week the Borgata, which has seen its bad beat hit three times in as many weeks, came up with an interesting approach.

Basically, the Borgata will now have a high bad-beat jackpot and a low badbeat jackpot.

The high jackpot only kicks in when four 10s or better falls to a higher hand. The low jackpot covers four deuces to nines.

It goes without saying that the high jackpot wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hit very often and should build up to some impressive totals. The rake, however, stays at $1 for pots over $20 and apparently feeds both jackpots.

The Borgata isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only room to try raising the minimum bad-beat hand to promote some action. In May, the Tropicana raised its minimum bad-beat hand to quad eights.

Immediately, that led to complaints that the minimum was to high and the jackpot would never hit. Except it did, two days later and it has hit once more since then.

So how long will it take Borgataâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quad 10s jackpot to hit? Who can say, but as of this writing, the jackpot was at about $140,000 and rising quickly.

Speaking of the Borgata, the casino remains the most active in the resort for special tournament action. This Sunday (Aug. 15) the casino offers a Deepstack Turbo event that includes a chance at winning a seat at the Borgata Open Championship Event in September.

The Deepstack event is a $260 + $40 event that, when you think about it, shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take very long to play.

The blinds are set at $25/$50 and rise every 15 minutes. Hence the Turbo name. A $25 ante also kicks in on the fifth round and that also rises every time the blinds go up. So donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blink, or you could be short stacked.

The winner of the Turbo event gets a seat at the Borgata Championship Sept.18. For the full Borgata Open schedule check out â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Real Dealâ&#x20AC;? poker blog at acweekly.com/poker. n see more online @

Slingin’ the Bull in A.C.

Jenna Ann Palmisano ridin’ at Game On!

Mechanical bull riding, available at at least two local establishments, was ahead of the curve as an Atlantic City non-gaming activity. By Ray Schweibert

A

A WEeEeKkLlYy. .CCOOM M MUOGNUTSHT 0102, , 22001100 // AACCW

TLANTIC CITY’S ENTERTAINMENT LANDSCAPE was quite diverse long before legalized gambling’s arrival in the late 1970s, but the city’s need to expand its non-gaming options has been well documented lately in the face of increased competition.

That, of course, is more a reference to the sort of entertainment/attractions that bring visitors in expressly as destination alternatives, and something like mechanical bull riding would probably qualify more as an auxiliary activity.

Still, how many places outside of Atlantic City can you name that have mechanical bull riding? Few do, since issues like the need for a sizable amount of expendable space, liability insurance and trained operators put mechanical bulls out of reach of many places that might consider one. Here in A.C., however, there are two sites that have them — one that sort of predates the pressing issue of gaming alternatives, the other having just started offering mechanical bull riding earlier this summer.

Game On! in The Pier Shops at Caesars has had a mechanical bull ever since the sports bar’s arrival in A.C. in 2006, which is an asset even its flagship site in Boston is unable to boast. The other bull shot onto the A.C. scene

early last month (around July 4 weekend) at Caesars’ sister property, Bally’s, which brought one in as part of its $1.5 million Wild Wild West casino upgrade. The Bally’s bull is the first to ever appear inside an A.C. casino.

Mechanical bulls, according to an online source, have been used for decades as training devices for rodeo competitors. The first to be used for entertainment was in the 1930s in New Jersey — at a bygone amusement park near Lake Hopatcong, Morris County. The majority of bulls are of the “portable” variety, like the ones that can be rented for private parties or typically used by traveling carnivals, while others are fixed structures that tend to give the rider more of an authentic feel.

The only missing components, perhaps, are the hard ground to land on (replaced by quickly inflated landing pits), the sharp horns to gore you, or the need for rodeo clowns to divert the bull or chase it away after you’ve been bucked off.

“The success of the rider depends on a few different things,” says Game On! manager Daren Smith. “It’s not only a person’s coordination or dexterity, it’s leg strength that’s probably the most important ingredient. [that you grab onto], but your arms or hands don’t A lot of people tend to put a vice grip under the strap have as much to do with it as some people might think.

You’ll see guys with huge forearms pulling so tight you think they might pop a vein, then the bull makes a couple of turns and a buck and they’re off. It’s your legs that hold you on.

“When you think about it, most of your body weight is seated on top of the bull, so if your arms were truly what’s keeping you attached you’d have to pull your body down to keep it in position,” adds Smith. “That’s not the case. It’s your legs that are holding you on. It’s no different than if I sat you down in a chair and started swinging you around. You’d try to hook your legs around the chair to hold your body in place.”

The mechanical bull is hugely popular, says Smith, for milestone events like birthdays and bachelorette parties.

Not surprisingly, bikini bull-riding contests go far in filling up the sports bar’s seats during football season.

“The bull really gets people into the place, and that’s what it’s all about — it’s the entertainment factor more than anything else,” says Smith. “We’ll do contests in tandem with prizes and giveaways, with prizes being things like iPods, digital cameras and even cash for people who can stay on the longest.”

The operator can make the bull move up, down, forward, backward and side-to-side. And not only can they be twisted, turned and bucked in any direction, the speed can also be controlled. How many times has anyone ridden the Game On! bull at top speed over the last five years?

“Never,” says Smith. “We tell people if you feel like falling, just fall. If an injury does occur, it’s almost always because somebody tried to hold on so hard they wound up riding sidesaddle and bumping their face against the side or something like that.” n see more online @

Sheryl Crow From ‘Memphis’ to Atlantic City

By Ed Condran

A

A U G U S T 1 2 , 2 0 1 0 / A C W E E K LY. C O M

FTER THE FIRST COUPLE OF spins of Sheryl Crow’s latest disc, 100 Miles From Memphis, you can’t help but make comparisons with her breakthrough debut disc, 1994’s Tuesday Night Music Club.

The new songs have a sunny, positive feel and a number of notable musicians lend a hand, which is very reminiscent of Crow’s acclaimed initial effort.

The big difference between Tuesday Night and Memphis is that the helping hands were in 1994 comprised of hipster Los Angeles musicians such as Brian McLeod and David Ricketts, who were perhaps best known by those who read CD liner notes and who dig deep to find extraordinary music, such as the output issued by Ricketts’ under-heralded David and David.

This time out Crow, 48, receives assistance from some heavy–duty names. Iconic Rolling Stone guitarist Keith Richards lays down some identifiable sounds from his six-string on the reggae-tinged “Eye to Eye.” The dynamic Justin Timberlake, aptly enough a Memphis native, lends some impressive vocal support for Crow’s cover of Terence Trent D’Arby’s sensual “Sign Your Name.”

Reliable producers Doyle Bramhall II and Justin Stanley were behind the boards for Memphis, which was released July 20 and is Missouri native Crow’s seventh disc. The tandem help Crow push the right buttons. Crow, who appears at Caesars in Atlantic City on Saturday, Aug. 14, is at her best when she is relaxed and this disc features a casual performance, which is to her benefit.

Yes, the disc is reminiscent of Dusty in Memphis, Dusty Springfield’s seminal 1969 release. However, Crow isn’t aping anyone. Crow may work with producers, but the former Michael Jackson and Don Henley back-up vocalist, is her own person.

Her scent is left behind on everything she records. That’s even so on the new album’s closing cover of the Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back.”

It’s a curious choice since the late Michael Jackson was once her employer. But she delivers a nice tip of the cap to the legend, who was her first notable boss. She sounds much like Jackson, whom she obviously pays homage to and for good reason.

In 2010, after 15 years in the limelight, Crow may be on the verge of climbing back up toward the top of the pop-rock echelon and at mid-life that’s an enviable accomplishment.

One of Crow’s biggest fans is Kid Rock, with whom she has recorded. Crow, who has recorded a duet with the Motor City star for his forthcoming album Born Free, can’t do anything wrong in Kid Rock’s eyes.

“She’s the best,” Rock told me. “I’m not surprised about anything when it comes to Sheryl Crow.

She’s a super talented person and I’m always sur-

prised when she spends time with a scurvy guy like me. She really has the touch.“ Part of what makes Crow so intriguing, is that she’s one of the more unpredictable players in poprock. Not only are each of her albums different, but the songs on each disc are their own entities.

Crow is a throwback who takes her time crafting songs. The Grammy-Award winner with the powerful set of pipes is playful live whether she is playing an enormous hall or goofing around in a studio.

While on tour behind her 1996 eponymous album, Crow did a studio session in front of 100 fans. You can learn a lot about a person when something goes wrong. There were some technical problems and it was evident that Crow was becoming exasperated.

While waiting for technicians to solve the problem, Crow sat behind a piano and delighted the crowd by playing Vince Guaraldi’s much beloved Peanuts theme. Crow made the best of a bad situation.

But she has also done just that when it comes to her personal life. Crow has battled bouts of depression, particularly during the early days of her career. But Crow battled back and has an enviable career and a pair of adopted sons.

Crow was also treated for breast cancer. She has also survived the tabloids, which chronicled her relationship with fellow cancer survivor, cyclist Lance Armstrong.

Nothing gets Crow down for too long though.

She has dealt with adversity and has made seven solid studio albums.

Three of the discs are special. Her first two and her latest, which seems perhaps closest to her heart. The title of the disc was inspired by the distance from her hometown of Kennett, Missouri, to Memphis, Tenn. Perhaps Memphis is such a strong recording due to Crow’s strong commercial track record. Each of her seven albums has landed in the Top Ten of the Billboard Top 200.

So unlike many of her peers, who have enjoyed an up-and-down commercial existence, Crow has the ability to record the type of album that she so desires. She has some serious clout since everything she releases sells. Crow isn’t as huge as she was during the mid to late ‘90s, but she still has a strong track record, many fans in the music business, and a long list of singles to choose from when compiling a set list.

Expect a heavy dose of hits when Crow takes the Caesars stage. Bet on some deep album cuts and witty, off-the-cuff banter. Crow is a cerebral character, who always connects with those who check her out live. Crow has her share of hits, but she is also an artist of integrity and one who takes risks.

That’s not something that’s so common these days. ■

ASK THE GEATOR

Mos Def as Marvin?

live @ great plaza at Penns Landing Saturday, august 14th

By Jerry Blavat

O

NCE AGAIN, GREETINGS AND salutations. Yes, August is hot, but not as hot as the folks who danced the night away at Memories. This weekend, no exception. The White Party with my man Chris and the Jacovini kids was amazing, and joining in the party was our all-time favorite Flyer, Dave Schultz. And guess who was back in town? Our favorite weatherman, John Bolaris, with his legal advisor, Chuck Peruto. Yes, that was the everdashing Chase Lenfest with a very pretty lady on the dance floor, plus a visit from the Dunkin’ Donut folks, Jodie & Alon Howard. And as the summer winds down, it seems that Memories is the place to be before the season comes to an end. Well, we’ve got to move on.

Enough about the Geator. Let’s get to your questions.

Mos Def

available now from evil teen records:

but it’s the female voice of Petra ToyflJerry, I listened to the show with you and Oehl who sings with the Mojo Blues Ben Vaughn twice on WXPN. Is this availBand. The song is “Papa Tree Top,” writable on a CD? It might be a good fundraiser ten by Wynonie Harris, and it’s available — Michael D. Codell for the station. on our CD Gift of Gold, Vol. 1.

That’s a great idea. I’m going to check into it with Bruce Warren, WXPN’s program director. From all reports, this was one of the highlights of their summer programming, and I agree that if available it would make a great item for XPN’s fundraisers. I’ve said before that music is universal and is the perfect gift for anyone.

Any plans for New Year’s Eve yet? Also are you planning a cruise for next year? Always planning around the Geator’s schedule when possible.

— Ed Kuehnle

Yep, per our last conversation with Bill Schmal and the folks from the Trump organization, we will be doing our New Year’s Eve gala back at the Taj. And yes, another Malt Shop Cruise Now that Will Smith turned down the role is definitely a go, some time in May of Marvin Gaye, who would be your choice to before our 2011 summer season. We’ll — M.M.T. star in the film? keep you posted. n

Good try. Sounds like Etta, and it’s got the same feel as an Etta James recording, Join us on Facebook:

What is the song that you play that goes, “That’s all right, daddy, treat me as mean as you can, ‘cause I quit you, daddy, got myself another man”? I think it might be Etta — Sharon James?

I think one person who could do the role of Marvin justice is Mos Def. I saw him on Broadway several years ago with Jeffrey Wright in Top Dog/Underdog and they were both sensational. I would like to see them co-star again, with Wright playing Marvin senior.

Domenicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Address: 5223 Ventnor Ave., Ventnor

Passionate about Food

Phone: 822-1300 Details: BYOB, major credit cards accepted, open daily for dinner.

Domenicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delivers a delectable Downbeach dining experience Story & Photo by Frank Gabriel

A

SK MARIA CONTI ABOUT DOM Rizzo, owner and operator of Domenicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurant in Ventnor, and the first word youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hear is â&#x20AC;&#x153;passionate.â&#x20AC;?

If anyone, she should know.

Conti, Rizzoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partner in business and life, met the 40-year-old chef while working together at another Downbeach eatery, The Red Room Cafe, two summers past.

The pair have been inseparable since.

Contiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family, original owners of the trattoria, sold the business after one season. This was despite having garnished quite a bit of positive press, including a favorable review from this corner.

Rizzo, by his own candid description â&#x20AC;&#x153;createdâ&#x20AC;? the Red Roomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill of fare, then â&#x20AC;&#x153;finished the second season with new ownersâ&#x20AC;? prior to moving on.

Opening in September 2008, Domenicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reflects Rizzoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s steady progression up the ranks in the culinary industry.

The menu is graceful with nary a hint of pretentiousness. Food, straightforward, intelligent and ingredient-driven, shows an admirable amount of reverence and restraint. The son of Sicilian and Abruzzi parents, Rizzo â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with forearms the size of tree trunks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; looks every bit the toughguy Bronx native transplant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started off at the bottom,â&#x20AC;? Rizzo says, adding that his first job was in a Queens pizzeria at age 12, folding boxes and cleaning up.

By his later teens, the aspiring cook moved on to making pies, eventually landing posts in New York and West

Patterson, N.J. But it was at his â&#x20AC;&#x153;best friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;? restaurant â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on Passyunk Avenue in Philadelphia â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that his culinary star began its current ascension.

Moving south with his pal, Rizzo helped run the kitchen at the Somers Point outpost Tuckerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on Bay Avenue (Now 800 Bay) for several years.

We visited Domenicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on a recent weeknight and were a bit surprised at how jammed the 50-seat BYOB remained, even after 8pm.

Our meal began with an eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s addition appetizer of roasted figs, stuffed with gorgonzola cheese, wrapped in the smoked prosciutto called â&#x20AC;&#x153;speck.â&#x20AC;? That prized pig flesh provided both crunch and flavor, accenting the Italian bleu. Situated atop an auburn stripe of Port wine reduction, the round pieces of fig were like dusky gems on the narrow plate.

Once consumed, the speck burst out an initial layer of porky goodness, yielding to creamy fruit and tangy cheese. We generally hold to the purist attitude that prosciutto should only be served raw, but this product, with that smoky essence, excelled as a roasted exterior.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna call something a â&#x20AC;&#x153;special,â&#x20AC;? it had better be.

These figs, sweet, salty and seasonally timely too, were all that.

My companionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice, love boats, are a combination of pale-yellow endive leaves filled with diced red onion and black olives, cannellini beans, tomatoes and crabmeat topped with a sweet bal-

Light and refreshing, but also intensely satisfying, the slender spaghettini clung happily to the summery sauce.

It also put Rizzoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advanced skills at the saucier station on full display. His kitchen features more than half a dozen various blends for pastas, including aglio olio, marinara, alfredo, pescatore, clam, amatriciana and cherry tomato.

There is even a â&#x20AC;&#x153;take off on carbonaraâ&#x20AC;? in Rizzoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words, spaghettini Bernardo, featuring pancetta, onions and asparagus in a light cream sauce finished with parmesan.

But it was something Rizzo didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do which made a remarkable impression.

My dining partner had opted for a mahimahi special. Just after receiving apps, our server approached the table and explained that the chef â&#x20AC;&#x153;wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comfortableâ&#x20AC;? with the fishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quality, and was declining to serve.

Instead, he recommended branzino, whole Mediterranean sea bass. Served French filleted â&#x20AC;&#x201D; head removed, two rectangular strips of clean, skin-on white fish â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it spread across a clever, balanced plate accompanied by sweet, crimson tomato relish, roasted potato slices and a tossed arugula.

A great call, reflective of high culinary samic glaze.

My entree â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at Contiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggestion â&#x20AC;&#x201D; standards.

Later, once things settled down, Rizzo was the spaghettini with crab. A heaping bowl of perfectly cooked strands of thin worked the space still apron clad. He pasta, tossed with plenty of jumbo lump checked in with tables, personalizing crab meat in a light, lively tomato sauce, everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dining experience.

Perhaps thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Conti had in mind finished by a hint of vodka.

This is the kind of meal we could liter- when she said â&#x20AC;&#x153;passionate.â&#x20AC;? n ally enjoy every day this time of year.

The menu at Domenicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is graceful with nary a hint of pretentiousness.

“It will be an exciting season with new work and new choreographers, which will take the company to a whole new level,” says Phyllis Papa, artistic director of the company.

The company will open the season on Tuesday, Aug. 31, with a performance of An Evening with the Atlantic City Ballet at the John Drew Theatre at Guild Hall in East Hampton, New York, but local fans can catch the same performance on Saturday, Sept. 25, at the Milton & Betty Katz Jewish Community Center in Margate.

The performance is a repertoire program of four different short ballets that range from the dramatic to the comedic.

With wide audience appeal, the ballets range from Pas de Dix (Classical), Mountain Legend (Dramatic), and Les Patinuers (Simulated Ice Skating) to Impressions (Comedy with Beatles music).

IGH CULTURE DOESN’T ALWAYS GET MUCH time in the spotlight in the shadow of Atlantic City’s glitz and pop culture extravaganzas, but one of the most enduring, and endearing, arts groups in the southern New Jersey area remains the Atlantic City Ballet.

For many locals, however, the ballet usually means a performance of The Nutcracker during the Christmas season.

While a favorite tradition, there’s much more to the company than that.

The 27-year-old company, with dancers hailing from Spain, Italy, Latvia, Israel, Japan, Canada, Korea, Australia and the United States, has announced its schedule for the 2010-11 season. The performances range from An Evening with the Atlantic City Ballet,

OCEAN CITY WEEKLYÂŽ

The 101st Baby Parade, Broadway productions and an annual 5K highlight Ocean Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weekend.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a potpourri of events in Ocean City this weekend highlighted by the continuing season of the Ocean City Pops and a run for guts and glory.

But first we start with the 101st Baby Parade Thursday (Aug. 12). The city claims to have the record for holding the most baby parades at 101. Of course, you get an argument, especially from Wildwood, which held their baby parade last week, about which parade is the oldest, but Ocean City maintains that some communities take a break for a few years every now and then and they have held the most total parades.

The parade competition is open to children from infants to 10 years of age. Parents may register at the Music Pier Information Center, Boardwalk and Moorlyn Terrace. The Center is open every day from 9am-9pm.

The parade begins at 10:15am and runs from 6th to 12th streets.

The 17th Annual Guts & Glory Run will be held Saturday, Aug. 14, starting at the sport and Civic Center at 5th and the Boardwalk. The event is in support of the Philadelphia/Delaware Valley Chapter of the Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s & Colitis Foundation of America.

An estimated 1.4 million people suffer from these intestinal diseases.

Prizes will be awarded depending on how much runners raise. The race begins at 8:45am and the course has been certified by the US Track & Field Road Running Technical Council.

Of course, the Ocean City Pops offer a much more restful diversion.

Sunday, the Pops present Philadelphia Orchestra concertmaster David Kim in recital at 8pm at the Music Pier. Joining him on stage is accomplished pianist Jeffrey Uhlig.

Violinist Kim was named concertmaster of the Philadelphia Orchestra in 1999. Kim appears as soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra each season as well as with numerous orchestras around the world.

The latest additions to Mr. Kimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discography are â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lord Is My Shepherd,â&#x20AC;? a collection of sacred works for violin and piano with pianist and composer Paul S. Jones and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Encore,â&#x20AC;? a collection of recital favorites with

pianist Gail Niwa.

On Tuesday, Aug. 17, The Pops begin a three-night run of Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a Good man Charlie Brown with the Ocean City Theater Company. The Broadway musical follows a day in the life of Charlie Brown as all of the favorite comic strip stories come together in an award-winning musical look at the work of Charles Shultz.

There will be three performances on Aug. 17, 18 and 19, all at 7:30pm at the Hughes Performing Arts Center, 6th Street and Atlantic Avenue.

And returning on Monday, the Stockton Goes to the Beach Concert Series will drop some raindrops on a few heads as singer/songwriter B.J. Thomas headlines at the Music Pier. Thomas will be sure to sing his signature hits â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Oscar-winning â&#x20AC;&#x153;Raindrops Keep Fallinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; On My Head,â&#x20AC;? the million-selling â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Hey Wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Songâ&#x20AC;? and his career-igniting cover of Hank Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m So Lonesome I Could Cry.â&#x20AC;?

Show time is 8pm at the Music Pier, Moorlyn Terrace & Boardwalk. Tickets are $25 and may be ordered online at ocnj.us or by calling 525-9300. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mike Pritchard

EDITOR’S CHOICE

Margate resident and Hammond B3 jazz organist Dan Fogel is back by popular demand to perform at the 11th annual Chicken Bone Beach Concert Series in Atlantic City. The free weekly concert series held at Kennedy Plaza on the Atlantic City Boardwalk, located between Mississippi and Georgia avenues (adjacent to Boardwalk Hall), has had another successful year and closes with a final concert featuring the 18-member NYC Finest Jazz Band. Fogel and his quartet, which includes Fogel on Hammond B3 organ and vocals, Pete Chavez on tenor sax, O’Donel Levy on guitar and Webb Thomas on drums, will open the show Thursday, Aug. 12, starting at 7pm. Fogel has been playing the Atlantic City club scene for nearly 50 years. In a review of his latest CD entitled 15 West, Fogel is described by Owen Cordle of JazzTimes.com as having “a big chordal style, and he throws the full weight of his instrument into his comping and soloing.

‘Brett Daniels — Magic & Beyond’ provides nice balance of skill and illusion at the Tropicana through Sept. 1

By Lori Hoffman

A U G U S T 1 2 , 2 0 1 0 / A C W E E K LY. C O M

OST FANS OF MAGICIANS fall into two distinct categories — those fans who love the big-scale illusions, like a motorcycle disappearing, and those who enjoy the smaller scale — but equally amazing — sleight of hand tricks.

Magician Brett Daniels understands the nature of magic fans completely and provides a nicely balanced show that engages us with both styles of magic.

His presentation, Magic & Beyond, which runs through Sept. 1 on select days at the Tropicana in Atlantic City, also melds together two distinct styles. A long time performer in casino towns, who is making his first Atlantic City appearance since 1997, Daniels is a low key, straightto-the-point performer. He doesn’t wear a “magician’s costume.” If fact, he looks like he is going out for a casual dinner when he first arrives on stage to chat about his craft.

He does, however, use dramatic lighting, and he brings along a leggy female assistant and dancers who provide the Vegas-style glitz with their outfits and dance moves.

In the course of the evening, Daniels will have fun with the simple, classic bits like ripping a newspaper apart and then putting it back together, and a series of card illusions (he doesn’t like the term “tricks”). For the latter, he has a video camera onstage to get a close-up of his hands, which are shown on a large screen.

The idea is to see how he is doing it, but of course we never do figure it out.

Daniels’ show is very audience friendly, with several volunteers throughout the event. He exemplified a nice touch with a young man who helped him hook and unhook magic rings at one show.

Another volunteer got to disappear from view surrounded by the lovely dancers.

Daniels also does a bird trick when a colorful scarf suddenly turns into a large, equally colorful parrot that buzzes the crowd.

Daniels alternates the sleight of hand and audience interaction with the bigscale illusions, like a classic levitation bit and his signature illusion when he and

Brett Daniels — Magic & Beyond is an audience friendly evening of excellent prestidigitation.

WITH

BRETT

Born in Wisconsin (and yes, he is a Packers fan) Daniels brags that his home state, “Is the birthplace of Harry Houdini, where he was born and raised.” Naturally Daniels has lived various places for his career including Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe and Memphis for five years. Currently he splits time between Wisconsin and China, where his show has been very successful.

Daniels got started in magic when he was 15. “I saw Doug Henning perform on TV. He performed the water torture cell. That was my introduction to magic.” He explains that he was a late starter — most magicians start younger. “Around my freshman year in high school, I started going to magic shows, learning sleight of hand and went from there.” His career has run the gamut from Cub Scout shows, cruise ships, theme parks, trade shows and Las Vegas revues. When he created his first name-above-the-title magic show, he credits an Atlantic City engagement as his big break as a headline performer since he sold out the run.

Asked about his approach to magic, he explains, “It has evolved over the years, different approaches for different markets. In a show like this with a mixed family audience, my approach is to make it audience-friendly. It has something for young people and families can feel comfortable. At the same time, I like to push the envelope when it comes to the creative process. I create my own version of [well known] illusions with my own little twist. I also enjoy doing a lot of sleight of hand. I think it’s important to have the mixture of ‘unplugged’ sleight of hand, pure magic, and mix that in with the larger, theatrical illusions. I also try not to take it to seriously. The show should be fun.

The audience wants to see something big and spectacular, they want to see some skill and they want to have a good time.”

Daniels also explains that it was Doug Henning who first performed sleight on hand on camera in the mid-1970s. “I enjoy doing the sleight of hand on camera and have been doing it since I got started.”

Daniels has very big hands and I wondered if that helped him with his sleight of hand. “It might. I’m pretty qualified at sleight of hand, but as far as being a pure technician in sleight of hand, I’m not. That said, my hands are big and they move nicely. I understand my hands are the same size as Brett Farve’s. I wish I could throw a football as well as he can.”

‘Bone’ Chilling Sundance award winner ‘Winter’s Bone’ is a compelling tale of survival

By Lori Hoffman

A

F TE R BE IN G IN T RO DU CED T O the fascinating character of Lisbeth Salander earlier in this movie season, I didn’t expect to find another female character as compelling and authentic this year. However, thanks to the fierce Ozarks teenager Ree Dolly, the heroine of Daniel Woodrell’s novel Winter’s Bone, I’ve been struck by movie lightning again.

Winter’s Bone, co-written and directed

by Debra Granik, earned the Walter Salt Screenwriting Award (shared with Anne Rosellini) and the Grand Jury Prize at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. Both were well deserved.

Movies that explore the crushing poverty of America’s rural regions are nearly non-existent in the modern era, so seeing a Grapes of Wrath style story with a country noir twist feels authentic and original immediately.

That authenticity is centered on 17year-old Ree (Jennifer Lawrence). With a mother who’s not there anymore mentally, Ree is in charge of her home in the Missouri Ozarks and her younger siblings 12-year-old Sonny (Isaiah Stone) and sixyear-old Ashlee (Ashlee Thompson). Ree is home schooling the young ones. There’s a little math here and there, but mostly she is teaching them survival skills, like how

to shoot and skin a squirrel, how to make deer stew (when a neighbor offers a piece of meat), and how to keep your mouth shut when the law comes around.

That lesson comes home when the local sheriff (Garrett Dillahunt) drops by to see if Ree knows where her father is. Jessup Dolly is well known for making methamphetamine, and has a court date coming up.

Ree wouldn’t care about her daddy’s whereabouts except that he has put up the family home as bond, and if he doesn’t show up in court, her family will soon be homeless.

This means that Ree has to find her dad or find out what happened to him. It is a dangerous journey, asking questions of the mountain people, even her kin — like her dad’s older brother Teardrop (John Hawkes) and a few stray cousins. They tell her to quit asking, but she needs answers, even if it puts her life in danger.

Beyond our admiration for Ree’s determination, Winter’s Bone creates a telling portrait of mountain life. While you would never call the mountain women feminists since they have to put up with being knocked about by their husbands if they get too mouthy, these ladies do sometimes manage to work around the stonewalling of the men folk. They work together to eventually do what’s right.

Lawrence is magnificent as Ree, a woman who understands the code of her people.

She knows she shouldn’t be pushing for answers, but it’s the only way she can keep the family together so she will be as stubborn as she has to be, hiding her fear behind a façade of quiet determination.

The rest of the cast feels as authentic as Lawrence, in particular Dale Dickey as a mountain matriarch who warns her to back off, and Hawkes as Teardrop, who softens his stance as Ree keeps pushing on.

Winter’s Bone is the type of movie that is so far removed from the glitz of Hollywood filmmaking, it needs a film festival boost to even make it to the local multi-plex.

This film doesn’t sugarcoat the issues presented and delivers real insight and at least two Oscar-worthy performances.

only a brief period of her long acting career, but she was involved in some tremendous movies.

When I heard about her death from lung cancer at age 84, I thought about her difficult life (including the death of a child and surviving a series of major strokes while pregnant) and her fierce determination, reflected in her life and her film work. Her best films are some of the best work Hollywood has produced including The Fountainhead (1949); The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951); A Face in the Crowd (1957); her Academy Award winning performance in Hud (1963) and another Oscar nominated role in The Subject Was Roses (1968). For a great read, check out her autobiography, As I Am, or treat yourself to a Patricia Neal film festival via Netflix. n
