Pima Air & Space Museum unveiled its recently-acquired McDonnell-Douglas (Boeing) F/A18A Hornet, with the paint scheme of a U.S. Navy Blue Angel. The Hornet was developed in the mid-1970s as a replacement for the F-4 Phantom and the A-7 Corsair that were then in use by the U.S. Navy and Marines as ground attack aircraft. The F/A18 was derived from the YF-17 that had competed for the U.S. Air Force contract that resulted in the F-16 Fighting Falcon. The YF-17 was redesigned to add more fuel, folding wings, and strengthened landing gear among other changes to adapt it for use from aircraft carriers. The first production versions of the Hornet went into service with the Navy and Marines in 1983. Most of the early F/A-18A Hornets have been retired but some continue to fly with Navy and Marine training squadrons. The F/A-18C and the newest F/A-18E and F Super Hornets are the primary fighters and attack aircraft for the US Navy and Marines. Hornets have been sold to several foreign nations including Australia, Canada, Spain, Switzerland, Finland, Kuwait, and Malaysia. The F/A-18 was adopted by the U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels aerial demonstration team in 1986 and still is flying today. It has now served with the team for 26 years. That makes it the longest serving AZWeeklyMagazine.com

The plane, a model caricaturized by two of Disney’s main characters—Echo and Bravo— in the new animated movie, “Planes,” is placed prominently in the row of U.S. Naval Fighters (enabling Flight Grill restaurant patrons to admire it while dining). James Stemm, Pima Air & Space Museum Curator of Collections, commented, “We have been working long and hard to secure the F/A-18A. It truly enhances our collection. We are grateful to our partners, the U.S. Navy, for this aircraft.” Current Markings: U.S. Navy Blue Angels, 2012 Service History: Built by McDonnell-Douglas Aircraft, St. Louis, Missouri and delivered to the U.S. Navy.

Get “up close and personal” with the planes that inspired the characters of Disney’s Planes at the Pima Air & Space Museum. Visitors can examine and learn about the real-life counterparts that inspired Disney’s Planes’ characters, such as the supersonic F-18 Hornet (new at the museum) that resembles two characters Bravo and Echo and the Vought F4U Corsair that’s a shoe-in for Skipper. The museum “identifies with” 12 of the movie’s 14 main characters portrayed in the trailer, including:
• Ripslinger—a North American P-51 Mustang, • Leadbottom—a WACO Bi-plane 7-UPF, • Ned and Zed—Cassutt Formula One Pylon Racers, • Rochelle—a Beechcraft N-35 Bonanza (check out the unique v-shaped tail), • Ishani—the Rutan Long-EZ, and • Dusty—a crop-duster designed by Leland Snow. On the museum’s tram tour look out for the forklift and tanker truck that inspired Dottie and Chug, respectively,
but be forewarned, Dottie’s a workin’ gal and may be hard at work elsewhere on the museum grounds. A comparison sheet with the characters and details on the Pima Air & Space’s planes is being distributed at the museum. The look-alikes are located throughout the museum (indoors and out) and are designated by Disney Planes movie posters. “We are already noting an increase in aviation interest,” commented Mina Stafford, Curator of Education, “It’s a great opportunity to teach the scientific
principles of flight and the aspects that differentiate each of the plane designs, building on the kids’ enthusiasm. Plus, it’s fun!” A special “Find the Disney ‘Planes’ Planes” scavenger hunt (featuring stickers!!!) will be featured at the museum’s season finale Night Wings summer-evening event on Sat., Aug. 24th (5 to 9pm, with reduced admissions: $10 for adults, kids 12 & under FREE).

LAST CHANCE TO SEE FRIDAY NIGHT LIVE, AUGUST 16th Southern Arizona Arts and Cultural Alliance and Main Gate Square have presented a series of free, evening concerts at the Geronimo Plaza featuring jazz, coming to a close in August. Inspired by European travels, gypsy jazz will bring the popular Friday Night Live concert series to an end for the season. The band includes Matt Mitchell on guitar, Evan Dain on upright bass and Nick Coventry on violin. Coventry started playing violin at an early age and, after hearing a Stephane Grappelli tape at the age of 12, he began in earnest to learn the swinging style of gypsy jazz violin. At age 18, he studied classically at the University of California Santa Barbara, and at 20, he started his first gypsy swing band “Les Gendarmes du Swing” and began writing and performing around his hometown of Goleta, Calif. In 2005, he travelled to the famous Djangofest at Samois-sur-Seine, France to meet and play with the best European musicians of gypsy jazz. This resulted in a series of tours around Spain, England, Scotland and Denmark with the Hot Club of Galicia. At home, Coventry has performed at the Djangofest in San Francisco with Gonzalo Bergara, as a guest with the John

Main Gate Square, between Park and Euclid Avenues on University Boulevard, features more than 20 retailers and 30 restaurants near the University of Arizona. Main Gate merchants validate parking for the Tyndall Garage Monday through Friday from 5 p.m. to midnight. “Prior to the concert people should experience all the different flavors of food we have here,” McCollum said, either dining in the restaurants before or after the shows or grabbing food to go and eating during the performance. “There’s always something going on at Main Gate,” McCollum said. “The concerts will be a showcase of Tucson’s local performers and good music.”

REVIEWERS ROUNDTABLE
ABOUT THE FILM
COLUMNISTS STAN ROBINSON
The following are reactions from each of AZ Weekly Entertainment Magazine’s film commentators in an effort to generate a well-rounded overview of this weekend’s new releases.
Stan Robinson’s reviews reflect the insights of an insider. With more than 22 years of experience in media production, Stan uses his behind-the-scenes expertise to survey a film’s technical attributes and considers the challenges that had to be overcome in order to cinematically present a story.

,
‘Lovelace’
Filmmaker Gabriela Cowperthwaite documents notorious killer whale Tilikum, who is responsible for the deaths of three individuals, thereby showing the sometimes-devastating consequences of keeping such intelligent and sentient creatures in captivity. (PG-13 80 minutes)
Amanda Seyfried plays Linda Lovelace, a woman who is used and abused by the porn industry at the behest of her coercive husband (Peter Sarsgaard) before taking control of her life. (R - 92 minutes)
Randy: One of the year’s top documentaries. Full of suspense, drama and emotion. You will feel anger at the establishment, pity for the animals and sympathy for the trainers. A well-presented news piece you will not forget. Joseph: Those whose hearts were broken by 2011’s “Project Nim” will feel similarly anguished upon bearing witness to “Blackfish,” which comes complete with scenes that are more petrifying than anything seen in even the greatest psychological thriller.
Joseph: Squandering the potential of both its subject and its cast, “Lovelace” is tasteless, pointless, completely irrelevant and almost as exploitative as its source material. As an Amanda Seyfried fan, I am genuinely appalled.
BET, YOU
DIDN T KNOW! by Stan Robinson The role of John McClane in ‘Die Hard’ (1988) finally went to Bruce Willis after being offered to a multitude of others and received an unprecedented (at the time) $5 million pay packet.
‘Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters’ Logan Lerman reprises his role as the son of Poseidon who, in order to restore their dying safe haven, embarks on a quest to the Sea of Monsters to find the mythical Golden Fleece and to stop an ancient evil from rising. (PG - 110 minutes) Joseph: Watching “Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters” is like riding every attraction at an amusement park without ever leaving the movie theater, making this one of the best and most universally entertaining motion pictures of the summer.
JOSEPH J. AIRDO
‘Blackfish’
Randy Montgomery’s reactions reveal the emotional intuition of an average moviegoer. With a master’s degree in counseling and education, Randy grounds his opinions in a unique combination of both a movie’s surface entertainment value and its ability to affect him on an even deeper level. E-mail him at Randyjay7694@yahoo.com.
Joseph J. Airdo’s remarks represent the analytical perspective. With a bachelor’s degree in media analysis and criticism from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism, Joseph contemplates the real life implications and applications of a motion picture’s themes in order to determine its existential purpose.

The following quotes were pulled from interviews conducted by AZ Weekly Entertainment Magazine’s film columnists with talent speaking on behalf of movies recently released in theaters.
Actor Wes Bentley (‘Lovelace’) By Joseph J. Airdo “I play a photographer who is shooting what is going to turn out to be the poster for ‘Deep Throat.’ It is kind of a rare moment for her to be with a man who is not sort of being a jerk, being aggressive to her or taking advantage of her. He is more somebody who is trying to get her to open up emotionally. It is a cool scene. I really only worked one day and it is only one scene but it is a good scene.” – Wes Bentley
Actress Alexandra Daddario (‘Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters’)

SOUNDBITE MOVIE SPOTLIGHT TWEETS! Still haven’t seen that movie that your friends have been talking about? Film Columnist Randy Montgomery recaps what you may have missed in 140 characters or less. ‘Two Guns’ ~ Run of the mill forgettable violent action flick w/ two likable actors that reminds us that this was a bummer summer for the genre. Grade: C
‘Smurfs 2’ ~ Way to ruin one of my favorite Saturday morning cartoons yet again. There was no need for this sequel. Hoping there isn’t another. Grade: D
‘The Wolverine’ ~ Superhero fans won’t be disappointed by Jackman’s performance or by the plethora of action. Another ho-hum summer blockbuster.Grade: B-
By Joseph J. Airdo ‘The Conjuring’ ~ Creepy house. Screaming children. Exorcism. Standard issue horror flick that somehow seems to stand out from others in the genre.Grade: B
“I am extremely excited about [‘Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters’]. I went blond this time because the girl in the book is blond. I love being a part of [this] franchise. I love the fan base. I love making the movies and the people I work with. It has been great.

The Magic of 4 Avenue th
4th Avenue, a magic street of dreams, has undergone numerous evolutions throughout the years beginning with the building of the railroads. The 4th Avenue Business District stretches from University Boulevard on the north end to 9th Street on the south end and serves as a major link between the University of Arizona and downtown Tucson. The Avenue evolved to provide the goods and services for the surrounding residential neighborhoods along with bars and restaurants. In the late 1940s the area gradually changed into a light industrial and commercial district followed by a ghetto type blight. Then in the early 1970s the Avenue was inhabited by maturing “hippies” who opened businesses heavy in the arts & craft scene. Avenue customers were impressed that these hippies were hard working and pretty good business people. The Avenue began to draw customers from all over the City and from many socio – economic levels. This is when the 4th Avenue Street Fair came into being. The Avenue and its businesses have continued to thrive. The Fourth Avenue Merchants Association (FAMA) was formed to support the economic well being of the area businesses and to promote the arts. A group of volunteers
August 7th, 2013 - August 13th, 2013
formed the Old Pueblo Trolley to refurbish vintage trolleys and run them between 4th Avenue and the University. FAMA planted
night time entertainment venues. Then there is the magic of people watching while enjoying coffee and a snack at one of the sidewalk

cafes. There is something for everyone.
Indeed 4th Avenue has become a magic place. It is magic for the merchant who had a dream and decided to open a business along its tree lined streets. It is magic for it visitors who want a unique shopping and dining experience. It is a magic with a plethora of
Of the 100 businesses in the 4th Avenue Business District, 17 businesses have been on the Avenue over 25 years. Caruso’s Restaurant and The Shanty have been around for over 70 years. 70% of the businesses are women owned. The Avenue is the perfect

incubator for new businesses. The 2 annual Street Fairs now rank in the top 100 nationwide. These are popular community events and that have been enjoyed by multiple generations. Good food, arts and crafts and entertainment abound. 300,000 visitors are introduced to the Avenue twice a year. The 3 surrounding neighborhoods and 3 service organizations share in 1/2 of the beer sales profits. Numerous other non-profit organizations are afforded an opportunity to promote their charity and causes. The hiring of cleaning personnel, security staff, supervisors benefits the whole community. The purchase of street fair goods and services pumps money into the local economy. Nearly 60,000 out of town visitors help support Tucson’s hotels and restaurants. With the 4th Avenue Street Fairs as its economic engine, FAMA takes care of sidewalk cleaning, flower planting, tree pruning and trash disposal. FAMA also markets the area with a wide distribution of brochures, TV & radio advertising and monthly sales promotions. Outdoor music venues can be enjoyed on selected weekends. There is always something happening on 4th Avenue. It is the magic street of dreams.
