Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts will present an outdoor concert by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy on Friday, March 23, at 7:30 p.m. in the Scottsdale Civic Center Amphitheater.

The seven-man ensemble forged a massively successful fusion of classic American sounds from jazz, swing, Dixieland and big-band music, building their own songbook of original dance tunes with hits like Go Daddy-O and You and Me and the Bottle Makes Three Tonight (Baby).

Reviewers’ Roundtable The following quotes were pulled from AZ Weekly Entertainment Magazine’s film columnists’ full reviews in an effort to generate a well-rounded overview of each of this weekend’s new releases.
to 1991, requires a little extra effort to suspend one’s disbelief due to its consistently over-the-top antics. However, it beats the odds with playful performances from Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum and dynamic direction by Phil Lord and Chris Miller to become one of the most well-roundedly entertaining motion pictures released thus far this year.” Grade: B
Randy Montgomery, AZ Weekly Film Critic
Joseph: “Writer/director Paul Weitz’s new drama ‘Being Flynn’ excels at extracting emotion because it is so grounded in reality. That is to say that you will not find any feigned happy endings in the new movie, which is based on Nick Flynn’s 2004 memoir. Instead, all you get is the cold, hard truth – and, of course, a trio of terrific performances from Robert De Niro, Paul Dano and Olivia Thirlby. However, it is in Weitz’s decision to tell it like it is that the flick is both dreadfully depressing and amazingly ameliorative – especially for anyone with parental problems.” Grade: B

‘21 Jump Street’ Two cops (Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum) must confront their teenage angst all over again when they go under cover as high school students. (R – 110 minutes) Randy: “For a Hollywood remake, ‘21 Jump Street’ is pretty entertaining. Is it an award contender? No. But, it certainly delivers in the entertainment category and has no problem poking fun at itself, or the genre. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are a great duo and deliver too many laughs to mention. The cameos are a great touch. Overall, it is a heck of a wild ride. It is a far cry from the television show I remember, but who cares?” Grade: B Joseph: “Despite outward appearances and personal preconceived notions, ‘21 Jump Street’ is hilarious, heartfelt and action-packed. Granted, the new movie, which is based on the television series that ran from 1987
‘Being Flynn’ As he struggles to define his own life, a young writer (Paul Dano) encounters his estranged father (Robert De Niro), whom he has not seen in 18 years. Playing exclusively at Harkins Camelview 5. (R – 102 minutes) Stan: “Based on Nick Flynn’s 2004 memoir and another indie film from Robert De Niro’s Tribeca Productions with De Niro also starring and Paul Dano’s captivating portrayal, ‘Being Flynn’is a stark revealing testament to the will power and tenacity of the author as well as a psychologically motivating blueprint for all of us, no matter what the age, for coping with family issues of acceptance and reconciliation.” Grade: B
‘Casa de mi Padre’ All hell breaks loose when the most feared drug lord (Gael García Bernal) in Mexico declares war on a rancher (Will Ferrell) and his family (Diego Luna and Genesis Rodriguez). (R – 84 minutes) Stan: “Reminded of the ‘B’ movies of old with shades of the spaghetti western genre under the sure hand of director Matt Piedmont, this tale of greed, lust, and sibling rivalry is cleverly presented with those finer film noir nuances, including obvious

Joseph: “Will Ferrell’s latest comedy ‘Casa de mi Padre’ is mucho amusingismo. Or something like that. The new motion picture, which is a parody of Mexican telenovelas complete with Spanish spoken language, is rousingly entertaining. However, by the final act, the novelty of it all is staler than a bag of expired tortillas. This could have easily been avoided had screenwriter Andrew Steele crafted a story that not only succeeded as satire but also as a legitimate entry in the genre.” Grade: C
Joseph: “‘The FP’ is mad-whack and that stuff is straight-up for reals. Writers/directors Brandon and Jason Trost’s frantically paced parody film set in the weird world of dance video game battles is as much a comic masterpiece as it is a relevant anecdote about loyalty. In spite of its intentional absurdity, the story’s basic message about ‘rolling together and dying together’ is not lost in the laughs. Then again, I may have just bought into the madness too much as a result of being so extremely entertained.” Grade: B
them to unexpected miracles. (NR – 90 minutes)
Bet You Didn’t Know! by Stan Robinson
Stan: “With the air of a travelogue, intertwining stories, and off-centered characterizations, I was reminded of the quirky television series ‘Twin Peaks’ and the town where everyone knows everyone and nothing is what it seems, this film certainly adds to the mysterious persona of ‘Sedona’, the city nicely nestled high in the mountains of Arizona.” Grade: C Joseph: “As nice of a place Sedona is to visit, imagine what wonders would await you on a daily basis if you lived there. The same could be said for filmmaker Tommy Stovall’s new ‘dramedy’ titled after the town. ‘Sedona’ succeeds in its attempt to lure the viewer in with quirky characters and spiritual themes but one cannot help but think it would have all worked a bit better as a television series. After all, the production values are quite low and the simultaneous stories – while acutely inspirational – are not nearly as significant as a bout on the big screen deserves.” Grade: C
‘Seeking Justice’* A stranger approaches high-school teacher Will Gerard (Nicolas Cage) and promises to help him get revenge for a brutal attack on his wife (January Jones). Guy Pierce also stars. (R – 105 minutes)
‘Jeff Who Lives at Home’* A 30-year-old slacker (Jason Segel) finds his true destiny while helping his brother (Ed Helms) stalk the latter’s possibly adulterous wife (Judy Greer). Susan Sarandon also stars. (R – 83 minutes)

sented in this Oscar® winner in the Best Documentary category this year and wears a bit thin throughout the film. A redeeming factor is the central focus of Coach Bill Courtney with magnetic screen appeal as he tirelessly motivates his football players with the will to want to win against all odds while reminding me of my gymnastics coach with the line ‘Football reveals character, whether than builds it’, is a worthy lesson for contemplation.” Grade: C Joseph: “Having only seen one of the other films nominated for Best Documentary during this year’s Academy Awards, one can only wonder how bad the competition must have been with ‘Undefeated’ claiming the crown. That is to say that the new football flick barely even crosses the 50-yard line much less manages a touchdown. Granted, filmmakers Daniel Lindsay and T.J. Martin have crafted a fair reflection of inspiring the uninspired but we have been here and done this before. And at least those times we were not forced to endure the ridiculous ramblings of (wannabe life) Coach Bill Courtney.” Grade: D Continued on Page 20...

Soundbite Spotlight The following quotes were pulled from interviews conducted by AZ Weekly Entertainment Magazine’s film columnists with talent speaking on behalf movies recently released in theaters.
Director Matt Piedmont (‘Casa de mi Padre’) By Stan Robinson “In this film, you’ve got one of the number one movie stars in the world, Will Farrell. If you’re a fan of cinema, this movie has a great, emotional, fun story - and underneath – it’s a fun time at the movies. So if you want to have the experience of a true fun time at the movies, that isn’t what you’d normally expect, then this movie is for you!
I’m going to answer your question so that you’ll be able to sleep nights [with a chuckle!] and no we didn’t use ADR for Will’s lines and that was the trick we wanted to pull off! It was all Will speaking Spanish, we had a dialect coach, he had to learn that days shooting and he’s speaking in a northern Mexican ranch accent, that’s all Will! We wanted to be able to say with all sincerity that it wasn’t overdubbed, it wasn’t someone else’s voice, and present the answer to the question ‘Can Will Farrell act while speaking Spanish’ which is almost an impossibility and he managed to pull it off brilliantly. Will likes to challenge himself and we like to challenge Will because we knew he could do it! We called it the ‘24 day fever dream’ because we had 24 days to shoot it. Will would pat himself on the back for finishing a day, and then start to get a panic going just knowing the next day was coming up and he’d have to do it all over again!” – Matt Piedmont
In director Simon Curtis’s “My Week with Marilyn,” Eddie Redmayne plays a production assistant who introduces Marilyn Monroe (Michelle Williams) to the pleasures of the British countryside during the filming of “The Prince and the Showgirl.” Kenneth Branaugh co-stars as that film’s director Sir Laurence Olivier. “My biggest job was to cast it right. Getting icons like Marilyn and Olivier right was a tall order but I felt in very safe hands with Michelle and Ken – two of the smartest, most talented actors around. I was so lucky to get them because – in the case of these parts, given that they were a very specific age and had to have the right look – there were short lists. But both Michelle and Ken were on the top of my lists so I was very grateful to get them both.” – Simon Curtis “When playing Laurence Olivier, you are filling big shoes. People have plenty of examples – films, documentaries and photographs – to compare and contrast so there is a long way to fall. To have been recognized with a nomination by the Academy (of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences) – a group that cherishes the work of Oliver – was such an honor, a pleasure and also a relief that people felt we had not in any way failed to acknowledge the man’s extraordinary talent.” – Kenneth Branaugh

FINDING THE FUNNY & THE FACTS IN MONEY WHAT IS THE U.S. DOLLAR REALLY WORTH? ONE WOULD THINK THE ANSWER IS STRAIGHTFORWARD, THE RESULT OF A STANDARD CALCULATION, HOWEVER, IT IS ANYTHING BUT. Prior to 1971 the US Dollar was backed by Gold and Silver and other hard assets that provided the strength behind the currency. After 1971 the dollar was no longer backed by any hard assets and became a flat currency. As a flat currency the value of a US Dollar is therefore worth what the government decrees it is worth. It is the Legal Tender Laws that give US Currency its value otherwise it would be worth only what it actually costs to make – 6.4¢ per bill.

It has been calculated that a single breath from a mature blue whale can inflate up to 2000 balloons.
US Bills are actually made with a combination of linen and cotton, not paper. This is why you can wash a dollar bill and it won’t fall apart. 97% of all paper money contains traces of cocaine. As an anti-counterfeiting device a small plastic strip is inserted into all US Bills. The strip has written on it the denomination of the note and is located in different places on different bills. Also when you shine a UV light on the bill the strip will glow depending on its denomination. $5 bill glows blue * $10 bill glows orange * $20 bill glows green * $50 bill glows yellow * $100 bill glows red. In 1960, the Federal Reserve had $177.41 in cash circulating for every person living in the US. In 1990, that amount increased to $1,062.86 per capita.

If you had $10 billion and spent $1 every second of every day, it would take 317 years for you to go broke. A world record of $2,255,000 was paid in December 2006 for an 1890 $1000 United States Treasury note. You’d need to fold a bill of any denomination about 8,000 times (first forward and then backwards) before it will tear. Most people save $2 bills, thinking they are rare and therefore valuable; they’re actually worth… $2. The number 13 (corresponding to the 13 colonies) figures prominently on the $1 bill. The number of letters/ digits in 1776 (4) and its Roman Numeral equivalent MDCCLXXVI (9) adds up to 13. The dollar has 13 stars above the eagle. There are 13 steps on the Pyramid. There are 13 letters in ANNUIT COEPTIS. E PLURIBUS UNUM contains 13 letters. There are 13 vertical bars on the shield. The top of the shield has 13 horizontal stripes. You can count 13 leaves on the olive branch. There are 13 berries on the olive branch. The dollar bill also features 13 arrows and 13 hats. If you could double your money every year for 20 years in a row (highly unlikely, just one dollar would turn into more than one million ($1,048,576). More realistically, if you invested your money at 8% from age 25 to age 65, just $3,900 per year would turn into more than one million ($1,010,320). That means it only takes about $325 a month to become a millionaire. It is illegal to put coins in your ears in Hawaii. If you drive 10 miles to buy a lottery ticket, you are more likely to die in a car accident than to win the lottery. If you leave an unpaid balance on a credit card charging 18% interest, the amount you owe will double in just four years and three months. Starting in 2006, it cost the United State Mint more than one cent to produce each penny and more than five cents to produce each nickel, due to rising commodity prices. (GENIUS).

ST. PATTY’S DAY SPECIAL COVER STORY 28
This Saturday, Irish Republic Turning Party Revelers Green with Irish Spirit for St. Patrick’s Day Festival in Chandler
Irish Republic St. Patrick’s Day Festival promises live entertainment, traditional Irish food, beer and games in Downtown Chandler on March 17th beginning at noon. Irish Republic is coloring downtown Chandler green for Saturday’s St. Patrick’s Day Festival on March 17: green beer, green leprechauns, green shamrocks and plenty of green cheer. More than double the party space from previous years will draw thousands of patrons celebrating at AJ Chandler Park (west) with green as far as the eye can see. The Festival starts at noon and continues until 2 a.m. With Irish eyes smiling, party revelers will enjoy a bounty of Irish good fortune with games, live entertainment, flow of green beer, Jameson-enhanced Irish coffee and the perfect pint of Guinness. Irish themed games include cabbage bowling, beer pong, bean bag toss, a dunk-the-leprechaun tank and more. Irish Republic celebrates the Valley’s best ode to Ireland with live entertainment infused with bag pipers, Irish dancers and activities for the family to enjoy. And what Paddy celebration is complete without music to dance a jig too? A lineup packed with contemporary and Celtic delights includes Take Cover from 2-2:30 p.m., Ocotillo Dance Center from 2:30-3 p.m., and bagpiper Mike Mercier from 3-5:30 p.m. Once the sun goes down, rockin’ performances include Kung Fu Grip from 6-8 p.m. and the Insomniacs from 8:30-10:30 p.m. Finally, DJ Hanzerelli will cap off March 15th, 2012 - March 21st, 2012
the night spinning festive beats from 10:30 p.m. – 2 a.m. For 30 years of his life, St. Patrick brought hope to Ireland by establishing churches and monasteries across the country. The day of his death, March 17, 461 A.D., has since been a day for the Irish to celebrate the saint for converting the pagans to Christianity: essentially driving the snakes from Ireland. Over the centuries, the celebration has spread to become a worldwide event. In America, where there are more people of Irish descent than in Ireland itself, St. Patrick’s Day has become a cultural icon and across the world Irish and non-Irish alike join the party. Irish Republic in Chandler continues that fine Irish tradition. General admission to the Irish Republic St. Patrick’s Day Festival is $10, presale tickets will be available for $8 and designated drivers will get in for $5. For an extra special treat, opt for the $40 VIP access ticket which includes general admission, all access lanyard, exclusive entry into VIP area with catered food and treats, no lines and access to private restrooms. From noon-5 p.m. all ages are welcome to enjoy the Irish Republic St. Patrick’s day Festival; however, the event will be 21-and-over after 5 p.m. Children 12-years-old and under are free when accompanied by a paying adult. A portion of the proceeds from the Irish Republic St. Patrick’s Day Festival will benefit Chandler Fire Honor Guard/ Pipes and Drums. AZWeeklyMagazine.com

St. Patrick’s Day is an enchanted time - a day to begin transforming winter’s dreams into summer’s magic. Adrienne Cook
Saint Patrick was a gentleman, he came of decent people In Dublin town he built a church and on it put a steeple. His father was a Gallagher, his mother was a Brady His aunt was an O’Shaughnessy and his uncle was a Grady. So success attend St. Patrick’s fist, he was a saint so clever, He gave the snakes and toads a twist, and banished them forever! Zozimus (Michael Moran)

One of the few celebrations on St Patrick’s Day (and the days surrounding March 17th) that reaches the dizzy heights of festivals in the USA - rural parades and festivals tend to be much more parochial and amateurish. If you want slick colorful fun, Dublin is the place to go. Flee the capital if your tastes run to quieter celebrations.

PERFECT ST. PADDY DAY POURS So St. Patrick’s Day is coming and you are looking for something a little different than the same old beer that everybody else is drinking…maybe something fun and exciting but still with that St. Patrick’s Day feel to it. Have we got some suggestions for you!
version of Killian’s that goes to show that everything comes back around again. The recipe update results in a rich roasted, full-bodied, well-balanced lager that maintains the signature ruby red color, but now is much closer to the original beer brewed in Enniscorthy, Ireland. “George Lett brewed a beer for his friends, and it’s our friends we have in mind as we reintroduce the new look and taste of George Killian’s Irish Red,” said Katie Cowan, Killian’s brand manager. “This is a more robust, more complex lager, but still balanced and easy to drink with friends. It goes great with a wide variety of popular pub food, like wings, burgers and fish and chips.” But you say you still want a stout for St. Patrick’s Day? Okay, we have three in mind for you. First up is the newly canned Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout from
First, let’s talk Killian’s Irish Red. What’s that you say? Killian’s falls into the same old category? Not so fast because Killian’s has reinvented itself in a big way. You may know that Killian’s is one of the oldest brands in the world with the original recipe dating back to the 1860’s. In 1981 Coors Brewing introduced George Killian’s beer to the United States. It caught on immediately. In the early 1980’s craft brewing was just starting to catch on and people embraced flavors that were different from the pale lagers they had been drinking. However, the recipe was not quite as authentic as it could have been. The beer was a little sweeter than the 1860 version. The folks at Coors are turning back the dial and releasing a new

Anderson Valley. Released in green cans to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, this is the same deep, rich, dark oatmeal stout that Anderson Valley has always made and the bronze medal winner at the 2010 World Beer cup. Named after the Boontling (a unique dialect spoken in the Boonville area) name for Hendy Woods State Park, a deep redwood forrest with a tree canopy so thick it can seem like nighttime at high noon, this beer lives up to its namesake.
Have it by itself, with dessert or as dessert or have it with your corned beef and cabbage. No matter what it will make your St. Patrick’s Day special. Legend has it that St. Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland, chasing them into the sea after the attacked him during a fast he was undertaking on top of a hill. Modern science suggests that this story is probably not true as there is no evidence that there ever were snakes on Ireland. Regardless, the fine folks at Lakefront, most famous for New Grist, their award winning Gluten Free beer, release Snake Chaser Stout annually. This velvety stout pours black with a creamy tan head. Toffee and coffee aromas in this hearty ale are perfectly balanced. Lightly hopped,
the flavor is full of the roasted malts and finishes with very low sweetness. A

by “King” James Swann Hello Again Beer Lovers, after a much needed week off, I’m back to chat about Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA in Cans. Yes you heard right, in the Can! As I’m sure you know by now, Sierra Nevada is huge on sustainability utilizing 10,000 plus solar panels and Hydrogen Fuel Cells to help power their brewery. Canning takes their Green Ethic even one step further. Yes, you have heard me preaching the beer can gospel in articles past but Did You Know: Cans are lighter, tougher and much easier to ship than bottles? This reduces their Carbon Footprint over bottles by a fairly large margin. Even more important, the beer stays bright and fresh longer in the can. Nuff Said right?

DAMN THE TORPEDOS!
Ok, Damn the Torpedoes and let’s drink some beer! This is a big IPA utilizing Whole Cone Hops. Pouring a bright, golden orange colour, this brew really delivers on its promise of bitterness, aroma and taste. On the nose and palate you immediately get bright citrusy characteristics followed by a piney resin sensation that makes for big mouthfeel and bold flavour. The name Torpedo comes from Sierra’s own revolutionary method of dry-hopping. Designed, built and debuted at the brewery, the “Torpedo” is a sleek, stainless-steel piece of hardware used to deliver big floral hop aroma and taste.Indeed, it does deliver. Don’t ya just love technology? At 7.2% ABV.and 65 IBUs this beer just crosses the line into Imperial territory, yet finishes with a crisper profile than most Imperials. The everyday Imperial? Absolutely!

Great food pairings include pizza with green peppers and spicy sausage or a loaded cheesesteak sandwich. Booze pairings include a shot of good Kentucky bourbon for sipping or a dirty martini with four olives for snacking. I know, let’s put it all together and call it a meal. Who’s with me? As always keep sending those comments and questions to kingjamesswann@ gmail.com and take it easy this week. The last couple of weeks almost killed me! March 15th, 2012 - March 21st, 2012

very smooth beer, it is the perfect way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day...whether you’re Irish or not. It pairs well with dark chocolate (as long as it’s not too sweet), as well as many grilled entrees, which complement the roasted flavors of the dark malts.

Of course many of you prefer that cascading beauty of a nice nitrogen stout and we have an option for you. Left Hand makes their
incredible Milk Stout Nitro which pours out of the long black faucet with a richness other beers can only dream of. The dark sweet stout settles in the glass and releases tiny, tight nitrogen bubbles resulting in a creamy head which makes for the perfect drink. Until recently, you had to go to one of the many bars in town that offered this treat on tap, but the folks at Left Hand wanted you to be able to enjoy this at home as well. So, after years of research and hundreds of thousands of dollars spent, they have recently released America’s first bottled nitrogen beer. Instead of relying on a foreign object to release the nitrogen into the beer upon opening, Left Hand has developed a method of leaving the nitrogen gas in suspension to be aroused when the bottle is opened and poured hard straight down the middle of the glass. The result is the same cascade effect that you get when you drink it on tap. The taste is spectacular either way. So there you have it, some alternatives to the same old stuff you always drink on St. Patrick’s Day. They all go great with traditional Irish Food and they all will chase a nice glass of Irish Whiskey. Is there anything else you need for St. Patrick’s Day? How about a ride home?

I always love going places that have a great mixture of people, and Bobby’s Latin Lounge is definitely one of those spots. Their happy hour is during the week and begins at 4pm. $2 imports, $3 imports/wines and half off appetizers are not a bad call when you’re just getting off work. Can’t forget about their complimentary buffet either during their happy hour offerings, it is simply awesome! This place can get a little crazy at night, but it’s pretty low key during the day. I love the music and I feel like everyone that comes to this place is someone that I would wanna hangout with.

The Night Owl BY EVELYN ROMANS
St. Patrick’s Day Celebration at Rosie McCaffrey’s
Drinking and driving is 100% preventable.
www.smartridedd.com • (623) 328-9206 We are available 24/7 365 days a year.
Arrrrr where’s me gold?! Oh those funny mischievous sprites are always looking for a jackpot. Wait, so are pirates. Is there a connection between leprechauns and pirates? How about a little man dressed in green, with one squinty eye, looking for gold at the bottom of a rainbow. No? Perhaps pirates just have Irish accents in my world. Either way, one thing’s for sure, pirates and leprechauns love beer (uh, yeah, that’s a fact). Hooray for St. Patty’s day in bringing all us pirates, leprechauns, and unadventurous folk together to drink Irish cream, whiskey, and Guinness all day Saturday. It’s a beautiful thing to see everyone wearing olive, jade, pea green, and other shades of emerald while being merry with random bar mates all in celebration of an Irish holiday. What better place to be Irish for a day than at Phoenix’s best Irish pub, Rosie McCaffrey’s. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this is by far the best Irish bar in the state. In fact (for serious this time), Seamus McCaffrey himself will be Phoenix’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade’s Grand Marshal this year. This should tell you that the man knows what he’s doing and the desert’s Irish people are well aware of his authenticity as an Irish man, so his pub is bound to be craic. The festivities start at 7 am with 98.7 The Peak broadcasting live from this uptown bar along with 3 live bands playing throughout the day. Vinyl Station will be performing from 9 am – 2 pm, Aaron Ricker Band from 3 – 5, and The Sullivans from 6 – 11. Hear the sounds of bag pipes and rock music bounce off the wooden rafters and paneled walls of this two story pub and feel lucky until 3 am. Saturday, March 17th. 7 am – 3 am. 906 East Camelback Road. $10. Ages 21+
CASPA at School of Rock Before the weekend brings in all the Irish wannabes and short guys that love to pass for leprechauns, School of Rock will present us all with London dubstep master, Caspa. His association with dubstep champion, Rusko, when they created the album, FabricLive.37, launched him into UK stardom. Caspa is also known for his remix of rap star Ludacris’s “How low can you go,” making him the first dubstep DJ to remix a leading American rapper’s song. His mixes get millions of plays on YouTube and his bass drops move people into sweating fits on the dance floor. Although not the biggest or classiest club in town, School of Rock is surprisingly fun when they bring in the right DJs, which they have been doing for their UK Thursdays. On these nights, the club rocks out to dubstep, glitch, and drum and bass for all the Tempe electro heads so expect the dancing to look a lot different than what you’d see on “Get Ya’ Freak On Fridays.” Don’t get me wrong, freaky Fridays are fun too but if you want some extra bass to jumpstart your heart for an event-filled St. Patty’s weekend, listening to bump and grind music probably won’t do it. Thursday, March 15th. 9 pm – 2 am. 411 S. Mill Ave. Tickets: $15 @http://www. sletickets.com/. Ages 18+
