When Mary’s husband of 26 years
passed away in 1989, she was convinced that she was going to be alone for the rest of her life. But after living as a widow for 21 years, a casual acquaintance of hers finally asked “Mary, what are you going to do with the rest of your life?” When Mary replied, “I don’t know.” Her friend suggested Great Expectations Scottsdale, since that is where she met her husband. This may have been the best piece of advice for Mary. After joining Great Expectations Scottsdale, Mary met fellow member Gene in 2010. They took their relationship slow at first, but eventually fell deeply in love and were married April 28th, 2012. Of course, Gene and Mary were not alone while in the single world. In Scottsdale alone there are thousands of single men and women looking for their match. However, between balancing a busy schedule and avoiding all the wrong people at the bar scene it’s becoming increasingly difficult to meet new people. That’s where Great Expectations Scottsdale comes in! Over the last 35 years Great Expectations has perfected a suite of matchmaking services that emphasizes dating with a purpose. Unlike other dating services that entrust applicants to input their
own data, Great Expectations professionals meet every potential client in person to interview and screen each applicant. Recently, Great Expectations Scottsdale announced Tammy Smith, who has been with the company since 1998, as their new Center Director. Tammy has had the pleasure of meeting and matching multiple couples through the years. “At Great Expectations we personally meet and interview each member so they are pre-screened before they can join. We also run background checks on each member. When you join an online dating site, you don’t know who you’re connecting with,” says Tammy. “We find it’s best for our clients to not be surprised by who they’re meeting. We take our own photos and we provide videotaped conversations as well. We will be as involved in your experience as much as you want us to be, acting as a personal dating liaison and coaching you along the way.” In addition to pre-screening each potential client, Great Expectations provides ample opportunities for members to meet like-minded singles in whichever environment they’re most comfortable. “We hold a variety of fun, safe, singles events to help get you out into the Great Expectations community,” says Ashley AZWeeklyMagazine.com

It’s safe, private, experienced matchmaking made easy. Take the first step today. Mary & Gene have the same thoughts as many of our success stories about Great Expectations: “It worked for us! If it wasn’t for Great Expectations and its staff we wouldn’t have found each other!” And to anyone considering joining Great Expectations they add: “What do you have to lose?”

two strengths, the flick fails to take its own advice and instead desperately tries to be what Hollywood wants it to be rather than constructing an identity unique to itself. This cookie-cutter effort features less characters than it does caricatures who navigate the formulaic plot with predictability right up until its ham-fisted finale. (Grade: D)
‘Admission’ Tina Fey plays a Princeton admissions officer who, up for a promotion, takes a professional risk when an alternative school teacher (Paul Rudd) introduces her to a college-bound kid who just might be the son she gave up years ago in a secret adoption. (PG-13 - 100 minutes) Stan: Admittedly, I haven’t viewed Tina Fey’s television work (‘Saturday Night Live’ or ’30 Rock’) but have enjoyed her feature film roles and the slightly off-center quick recovery edge she brings to those characters. In ‘Admission’ she once again gave me that ‘quick recovery’ characterization with just the right ‘look’ here or a ‘gesture’ there, which helped to weather an other wise lackluster story. (Grade: C) Joseph: If anyone asks you to see “Admission” with them, swiftly reject their offer. If they then see the new comedy without you and say that it was anything other than a complete waste of their time, immediately deny having ever known them. Tina Fey is utterly unfunny as a character
‘Dorfman in Love’ Sara Rue plays a single suburbanite who volunteers to cat sit at her unrequited love’s downtown L.A loft and meets another man who appreciates her thereby prompting her to transforms not only the mess of a loft but also the mess of herself. Playing exclusively at Harkins Shea 14. (PG-13 - 92 minutes) Joseph: It is a shame that “Dorfman in Love” is not a better movie. After all, the new romantic comedy propagates a very admirable message about being one’s self and stars actress Sara Rue who really does deserve more recognition for her talent. However, despite those

‘The End of Love’ Mark Webber plays a struggling actor who kindles a relationship with a single mother (Shannyn Sossamon) and begins to realize that he can no longer remain in denial about the reallife consequences his choices have on his own son. Playing exclusively at Harkins Valley Art. (NR - 90 minutes) Joseph: “The End of Love” may be one of the most incredibly intimate motion pictures you will ever witness, exhibiting - with unparalleled honesty - the deeply emotional bond between a parent and their child. That honesty is due in part to actor Mark Webber
conclusions. And while Riker circumvents some inconvenient details along the way and ends on a somewhat contradictory note, star Abbie Cornish’s penetrating performance is worth the price of admission in and of itself. (Grade: B)
possibly want in an entire season of “24” condensed into two intense hours. It is hard to believe that director Antoine Fuqua’s new action-thriller was not initially conceived as a mission for Jack Bauer because it seems tailor-made for him. However, Gerard Butler’s Mike Banning is a spectacular standin, single-handedly saving the day in such a way that ensures viewers a really riveting time from the moment the White House comes under crowd attack to the last-ditch effort to protect the president’s life and simultaneously stop America’s apocalypse. (Grade: B)
‘On the Road’
‘Olympus Has Fallen’ ‘The Girl’ Abbie Cornish plays a single mother who, struggling with the loss of her child to Social Services, crosses paths with that of a young girl from Mexico and begins a journey that will change her life - discovering that she is the architect of her own fate and learning what it is that truly defines home. Playing exclusively at AMC Arizona Center 24. (PG-13 - 95 minutes) Joseph: “The Girl” is a timely and touching tale of transformation through tragedy. Writer/director David Riker’s new drama, which is in the same vein as 2007’s “Under the Same Moon” and 2011’s “A Better Life,” tackles the topic of illegal immigration in a way that encourages viewers to consider the outlook of those on the other side of the fence yet never truly takes sides and instead challenges said viewers to come to their own complex
Gerard Butler plays a disgraced former presidential guard who, when the White House is captured by a terrorist mastermind (Rick Yune) and the President (Aaron Eckhart) is kidnapped, helps retake the White House, save the President and avert an even bigger disaster. (R - 118 minutes) Stan: One of my favorite story genres of ‘One man against all odds’, as in the Die Hard franchise, director Antoine Fuqua expertly melds the story plot with outstanding special effects for a non-stop action ride from beginning to the closing credits start to roll at end, and sets the tone for Gerard Butler to more than aptly convince us that the will to save America is the substance of a hero. (Grade: B) Joseph: “Olympus Has Fallen” is explosively exciting, exceptionally suspenseful and has everything that one could
With English subtitles, nothing is lost in the translation as the crucial yes or ‘No’ objective is laid bare before the viewer. And yes, from history we know the outcome of the campaign, what a thrill to learn the details of the journey of the ‘No’ campaign.(Grade: B)

co-starring with his own reallife son but also because he, in writing and directing the new drama, used his own challenging childhood experiences as inspiration. Having said that, the project is sometimes even so intimate that it feels more like a home movie than a feature film and has all of the format’s momentum and resolution - or lack thereof. (Grade: C)
‘No’ Gael Garcia Bernal plays a brash young advertising executive who spearheads the campaign against Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet’s 1988 re-election efforts. (R - 110 minutes) Stan: Always intriguing as historical events are visited on screen from a behind-thescenes perspective, director Pablo Larrain captures the fervor and zeal in almost a documentary style, of the analytical and constantly adjusting efforts of any marketing campaign as the intention of swaying the sentiments of voters toward a particular candidate, whether locally or in a foreign country.

Sam Riley and Garrett Headlund play an aspiring writer and an ex-con who, determined not to get locked into a constricted life, cut their ties and take to the road in search of the world, of other encounters and of themselves.

Stan:Commonly called ‘Road movies’ and preferring the reference of ‘Discovery films’, director Walter Salles latest brought to mind my own six month ‘lost soul’ journey that occurred in May of 68’ upon my return from serving in Vietnam to reestablish my essences that were buried deep within my psychic. The slow and deliberate pacing of ‘On the Road’ serves to give one pause to reflect on our own thoughts while the breathtaking cinematography is a reminder of the wonder of living life.(Grade: C+) Randy: There is something oddly likable about this screen adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s novel of the same name. It is certainly not one of the best movies of the season and the studio has pushed its Phoenix release back numerous times, but one can admire the free spirit of the characters. Also impressive are the performances by the young and talented cast (and yes, even Kristen Stewart). Sam Riley and Horizon High School’s Garrett Hedlund are just as likeable in their not so likable roles. (Grade: B) Joseph: Regardless of the company that they might afford you, some road trips should just never be taken. “On the Road” is one of them. Director Walter Salles’ cinematic adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s novel of the same title is a tedious, overlong and meandering motion picture - which is a shame considering its cast includes the likes of Kristen Stewart, Amy Adams and Viggo Mortensen. Sure, the scenery is sometimes spectacular but you are almost guaranteed to get lost along the way - be it out of sheer boredom or simply out of the strenuously spontaneous nature of the narrative.

Worst of all, though, Korrine’s project is a direct insult toward young women - exploiting their bodies to pornographic effect and suggesting that the vast majority of them are soulless, money-hungry nymphomaniacs who are completely incapable of selfrespecting behavior.

‘Spring Breakers’
GRADES AT A GLANCE
Ashley Benson, Vanessa Hudgens, Rachel Korine and Selena Gomez play best friends whose serendipitous encounter with a rapper (James Franco) promises to provide them with all the thrill and excitement they could hope for and a spring break they will never forget. Playing exclusively at Harkins Tempe Marketplace. (R - 92 minutes) Stan: Starting out as the usual ‘Spring Break’ stereotypical movie and purporting the usual theme of sex, drugs, and music as the prime directive of the college break, t he theme slowly shifts to one of survival as each of the four best friends arrives at the crucial decision, some taking longer than other members of the group, that the path they are on is truly ‘The path less traveled by’. I was mesmerized by James Franco’s character portrayal, which is truly void of the finer nuances of his own personality traits as I was reminded of the performance of Sean Penn in ‘This Must Be the Place’, which garnered my Best Actor award for 2012.(Grade C+) Joseph: If writer/director Harmony Korine’s intention with his new crime drama “Spring Breakers” was to make viewers feel as though they have been drugged and are experiencing 90 minutes of extremely unpleasant intoxication, he hit that nail square on its head. The movie is artistically incompetent, substituting
“That was so long ago! I feel so much older now, it’s crazy. That was 30 years ago. That’s a lifetime. I have to tell you, some parts of me feel the exact same age, then other parts are clearly 30 years older.” – Courteney Cox of “Cougar Town” on TBS, about her initial claim to fame by dancing onstage with Bruce Springsteen in the video for “Dancing in the Dark”

Bruce Willis’ Top Movies “Looper” (2012): Some of Willis’ best work in years boosts
this sci-fi tale about a hit man who meets his younger self (Joseph Gordon-Levitt). “Red” (2010): Willis does everything he does best, in terms of action and humor, in this graphic-novel-inspired tale of former government agents who reunite to battle a common threat. “Armageddon” (1998): Willis is typically tough – and good – as an oil driller who leads his team into outer space to destroy an asteroid. “Die Hard” (1988): Willis cemented his screen image as wisecracking New York cop John McClane, who’s in the wrong place at the wrong time when terrorists overtake the Los Angeles building where his wife works.

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.
Writer/Director/Actor Mark Weber (‘The End of Love’) By Joseph J. Airdo “The whole film was improvised but it was very structured improv. Basically, I wrote a treatment with this very specific story that I wanted to tell about very specific characters and how they related to each other. I set up very elaborate settings between me and my son so that no matter what we were doing in these improvised moments it would be fueling the story and these plot points that we needed to hit. “I wanted to blur the lines between reality and fiction. I wanted people to experience this film in a way that they don’t normally experience movies. A lot of times, you go see a movie and say, ‘That was a great
movie’ or ‘That was a great performance.’ I wanted to try and extract that a little bit and make it feel a little dangerous and a little odd at some points so you say, ‘What is this? Is this really this guy? Is this really his child? Did this really happen?’
FILM! SECTION
SOUNDBITE SPOTLIGHT
“In order to achieve those kinds of emotions that I wanted to invoke in people, I shot it with a cinéma vérité/fly-on-the-wall style. We used these really small Canon 5D cameras and turned their limitations into their strengths. That way, I was able to set up situations and make them feel like real life as opposed to people performing.” – Mark Weber
Writer/Director David Riker (‘The Girl’) By Joseph J. Airdo “The starting point of this film is a question that I had as a writer - ‘What does it mean to live in the epicenter of the American dream and feel not hope but sort of shutout or trapped?’ This is the question that our main character - played by Abbie Cornish - faces as an Anglo woman living in South Texas working at Walmart. “She is living in the very place that all of the immigrants want to get to. So why doesn’t she feel filled with hope and that sense of new future and possibilities in her life? That question led me to question the very myth of the border, which is that hope is just to the north. How is it possible that the South is without hope?
How is it possible that the North is filled with hope when many of us don’t feel it? “And now I realize that hope is not in the North or the South. Hope is in the person crossing. Hope is something that is carried inside. The film turns the border upside down sends this Anglo woman across the border, south against the current of the migrant stream. Abbie Cornish, without ever really thinking it through, ends up making the migrant journey in reverse - from a big box store in Texas to a small village in southern Mexico. And along the way she has a profound awakening as a human being.” – David Riker

CICERONE: A THIRST FOR KNOWLEDGE Twenty years ago, you could count the beer available at a high end restaurant on one hand. The sommelier, while a trained expert in wine, could also claim good knowledge about the meager beer choices. Times have blissfully changed such that the craft beer world is more complex and the choices are more plentiful. However, this brought up the need for a new kind of beer specialist to don the mantle of a “beer sommelier”. Except Beer Sommelier did not do the concept justice. The term sommelier is more commonly thought of as wine, and this concept of a beer serving expert needed to stand on its own. Enter Ray Daniels and his Cicerone program. In 2008, the Cicerone Certification Program was introduced by the Craft Beer Institute, a Chicago-based beer and brewing education organization. The program is directed by brewing industry veteran and published author, Ray Daniels. The Cicerone Certification Program (Cicerone is pronounced “sisuh-rohn”) seeks to ensure that consumers receive the best possible beer and enjoy its flavors to the greatest extent possible. To facilitate this, those who sell and serve beer need to acquire

The three levels of Cicerone certification are: Certified Beer Server, Certified Cicerone, and Master Cicerone. Currently, there are only six Master Cicerones and the Certified Beer Server count has passed 50,000. Anyone with passion and knowledge for beer can take the Certified Beer Sever exam online at www.cicerone.org Cicerone is a word in old English that means “one who conducts visitors and sightseers to museums and explains matters of archaeological, antiquarian, historic or artistic interest.” But Ray Daniels decided the Cicerone title was better suited for the purposes of knowing, serving, and storing beer to improve the customer’s tasting experience. Anyone can call themselves a ‘beer sommelier’ regardless of knowledge or experience. And while some will be highly skilled, the only way to demonstrate that objectively is through independent testing of knowledge and tasting ability. The Cicerone Certification Program offers that independent assessment and certification so that industry professionals—as well as consumers—can be sure of the knowledge and skills possessed by current and prospective beer servers. The testing process is rigid at the Certified and Master levels, a little less so for the Certified Beer Server which is an online test. The two higher certifications require a

candidate to sit for an exam. At the Certified level, the exam is about four hours and starts with a written test of approximately 150 essay and short answer questions. Topics include everything from the proper method of cleaning draft lines to hop growing countries to breaking down a food recipe in order to determine the best beer to pair with it. After the written exam comes a fairly intense sensory exam designed to measure the candidates’ ability to spot offflavors that would make a beer unacceptable to be served. Finally a demonstration is video taped for grading. The demonstration is a hand on display of book knowledge that can be translated in to regular beer service. Are the tests difficult? In the time they have been offered, about 50,000 people have passed the Certified Beer Server, 400 the Certified Cicerone and only a small handful have achieved the Master title. The pass rate on the Certified exam is about 30 percent, less on the Master. Why does Ray Daniels get to determine the criteria for being a Cicerone? Well besides this being his concept, he may be one of the most qualified people in the world. Ray, a Chicago resident, has traveled the world judging beer, launched festivals and written four books. His book, Designing Great Beers, is a must have for anybody considering home brewing. But the brewing and hospitality industries could just as well have decided that the Cicerone program was meaningless or unnecessary. They did no such thing. Breweries and distributorships have lined up to take the exam, and
restaurants, like the beer-heavy and always-packed The Publican in Chicago, began mandating that front-of-house employees become certified. As craft beer has inched toward maturity — more breweries, more quality, more distribution and more sales — Daniels correctly guessed that there would be a hunger for standards in beer service, handling and presentation. “Ray had the credibility to do this,” said Paul Gatza, director of the Boulder, Colo.-based Brewers Association, where Daniels worked before launching the program. “He had a network of connections that knew him and knew that if he did it, it would be a quality program. And people wanted it.”
Proper service of good beer is Daniels’ goal, stated simply, “I never again want to be served a bad beer in a bar”. To that end, Daniels believes deeply in the “beer clean” glass, which must be rinsed prior to serving to remove traces of sanitizer. Many bartenders give beers “a classic German pour,”— straight down the middle, left to settle, then topped off. This is not Daniels’ pouring ideal. His oft-repeated motto is, “It takes two hands to pour a beer,” and his method is this: hold the glass at a 45 degree angle, pour along the side, then about halfway through, tilt both glass and bottle vertical. You want an inch or so of head. If you want to be a Cicerone, you’d better know that. “The biggest problem in American

AZ LOCALS ONLY BEER PAGE Hello again craft beer lovers, today I’d like to take a minute to tell you all about a Facebook page I have created with a couple of other awesome Beer Geeks called AZ Locals Only Beer Page. Why another page right? There is already the Arizona Let’s Talk Craft Beer page and the most popular of all, Arizona Craft Beer Lovers pages out there in cyberspace where beer aficionados get together to pontificate on what’s happening in the wide world of beer. I’m sure most of you have seen or utilized one or the other of these sites at some point as they are both a great source of information. What makes AZ Locals Only Beer Page different is that one perfect word in the title, LOCAL. This is a page for Local Beer and Local Beer Business only. As silly as it sounds, I even have a catch phrase for it: “If it’s Local Beer, Post it Here!” Right, there it is all clear now eh? It’s a great place to post reviews, pictures, opinions, happenings and anything else that surrounds local beer along with the breweries, pubs and other businesses that make it all so special. Is the audience a bit different than the other beer sights? I should hope so being that this baby is for lovers of what happens right here in their own back yards. Who’s your new favorite brewery, what was that new beer you just had at SanTan or Sun Up Brewing and how was it? This is the place to talk it up!
Check out where to enjoy and purchase these local brands on “Beer Spy” at www.worldclassbeer.com

Daniels is constantly looking to educate and build his program. After being poured a particularly bad looking beer, he will take a photo of it for teaching purposes. For example a beer with no head and small bubbles on the side of the glass will get a picture as a good lesson of what not to do. This is an indication that the glass is not “beer clean” and sadly, according to Daniels, this is how most American bars pour beer. So, what does a Cicerone need to know? Take a look at the questions below to see if you measure up. More details can be found at www. cicerone.org 1.

7 Reasons You Should Eat Eggs for Breakfast
DINE! SECTION
W W W . T H E G O O D E G G . C O M
1. Eggs keep you feeling full much longer than cereal or toast. The protein and fat in eggs helps sustain your energy levels, keeping you satisfied for longer and reducing the need for a mid morning snack. 2. Eggs assist weight loss. This is a follow on benefit from keeping you satiated. Studies have shown that people who eat eggs for breakfast are more likely to lose weight than those who ate bagels. 3. Eggs are a great source of protein. Whole eggs are one of the most complete sources of protein, meaning eggs contain all the essential amino acids which we must get from our diets. 4. Eggs tend to be relatively inexpensive. Compared to other high protein foods such as red meat, even free range eggs are more budget friendly. 5. Eggs aren’t going to make your cholesterol worse. While it’s true that eggs do contain a significant amount of cholesterol, the old formula of the cholesterol you eat impacting on your blood cholesterol levels, has been disproven. So there’s no need to worry about eating eggs increasing your risk for heart disease. 6. Eggs help with brain development and memory. Choline, an essential nutrient found in eggs, stimulates brain development and function. It has also been linked with increasing memory retention and recall as well as improving alertness. 7. Eggs protect your eyesight. Two antioxidants, leutin and zeaxanthin, are present in eggs and have been linked to protecting eyes from damage related to UV exposure. They have also been associated with reducing the likelihood of developing cataracts in old age.

‘Phil SPector’
C
ourtroom attire is pretty straightforward: Look as if you are going to an important event at a house of worship. For men, at least those trying to convince a jury of their al Pacino innocence, that means a conservative suit, ironed shirt, tie, polished shoes and a neat haircut. But then there was nothing straightforward about Phil Spector. His courtroom attire was bizarre, as evidenced in HBO’s “Phil Spector,” premiering Sunday, March 24. It’s writer David Mamet’s take on the music producer as he prepared for his first murder trial. Al Pacino plays Spector. Those who followed the trial know that every day Spector showed up in something outlandish. “As a designer I was always mesmerized by the theatricality of how he approached the courtroom,” says costume designer Debra McGuire. “It vacillated and it had no rhyme or reason, which made it more interesting, which was the part I really wanted to capture in this. It goes in and out of this eccentricity. Even when we see him at home, there is a fabulous eccentricity. The suits were his attempt at being conservative in the courtroom.”

GAME! SECTION
The whirlwind tour was more befitting a Super Bowl MVP or an Olympic gold medalist than a Daytona 500 winner. And after five days of crisscrossing the country to do interviews and public appearances in the week following his victory in the 2013 race, Jimmie Johnson was fried. Indeed, the 37-year-old five-time Sprint Cup champion had forgotten about the mountain of demands placed on a Daytona 500 winner – which for him included appearances on “Late Show With David Letterman” and at a national sales meeting in Las Vegas for his primary sponsor, Lowe’s – since he last won in 2006. But, he admits, it’s a nice problem to have, lack of sleep notwithstanding. As of early March, Johnson was enjoying his best start in years, following up his win in NASCAR’s biggest race with a second-place finish in the season’s second race at Phoenix. At this writing, he was leading the Sprint Cup points standings by eight over 2012 Cup champ Brad Keselowski and Hendrick Motorsports teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr.
