Your body is creating and killing 15 million red blood cells per second. FRANCESCA WOLFSOHN INVESTMENT ADVISOR AZ 480~822~8176 NY 516~395~3299 YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! TODAY AS I LISTENED TO MY “ALL NEWS ALL THE TIME RADIO” (CAN’T GET MORE SERIOUS THAN THAT, OR SO I THOUGHT), A HEADLINING STORY BROKE…MAN DRIVES HIS CAR STRAIGHT INTO A HOUSE! WHEN ASKED, WHY? HE SAID, “THE GPS TOLD ME TO” AFTER HEARING THIS I SAY IT IS TIME FOR EVERYONE TO GET BACK TO THE BASICS. IT IS TIME TO REVISIT WHAT WORKS IN ALL AREAS OF OUR SOCIETY Legendary football coach Vince Lombardi was famous for his unwavering attention to basic fundamentals. He (Lombardi) kept the game simple. The late coach of the Green Bay Packers believed that executing a handful of time-proven, rock-solid principles was the key to success on the gridiron and elsewhere. The phenomenal track records compiled by Lombardi suggest that he was correct in his assessment that sticking to the basics — and performing them better than the competition — was a more reliable formula for winning than introducing needless complexity. Today so many investment vehicles have grown increasingly complex. This is not said to eradicate the importance of entrepreneurship and innovation in a competitive, market- driven global economy. As well, I appreciate the value that many complex products that have appeared in recent years offer. As said by the American playwright Neil Simon,

“If no one ever took risks,” “Michelangelo would have painted the Sistine floor.” We have been quite receptive to these exotic new derivatives offering so much and yet the complexities magnified the risk because of the massive leverage. At the end of the day, investing in equities and fixed-income securities remains what it always has been: appraising the choice between shares and bonds. Shares provide investors with direct ownership in a business and Bonds share in that cash flow in the form of interest payments. So whether your stake is as owner or lender, my recommendation this week is to find someone like me to make certain the info you receive is direct and transparent.

ARTS! SEUSSICAL THE FANTASTICAL MAGICAL MUSICAL EXTRAVAGANZACAL! By Zizzy Zozzfozzel “From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere!” OH, THE THINKS YOU CAN THINK! The Broadway Palm

creative team certainly had more than a few extravaganzical “thinks” when they staged their outstanding production of Seussical the

Broadway Musical. Directed and choreographed by the very talented Amy Marie McCleary and Music Directed by Michael Snyder, the result is a creative, funny and heartwarming musical. Most of us, at some time in our lives, have either read a Dr. Seuss book, had one read to us, or read one to a child. Seussical follows the adventures of Horton, an elephant who one day hears voices coming from a speck of dust. He soon discovers, that within this tiny speck exists the smallest planet in the universe and upon this tiny planet live a tiny race of creatures known as Whos. Although ridiculed by the other animals in the Jungle of Nool for believing in something he cannot see, Horton stubbornly persists in his belief that the Whos exist. Meanwhile, JoJo, the smallest child in the city of Who, is also ostracized for the unpopular act of “thinking” which is not encouraged by the teachers and parents of Whoville. Despite many obstacles both persist in what they know is right.

this charming show and it appeals to all ages. The themes of kindness, acceptance, self-esteem, fostering of imagination and faithfulness are simple enough to be understood by children, yet universal enough to touch the hearts of any real-life “Grinch” you might know. The catchy score by Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens is performed flawlessly by the talented cast, from the tiniest Who in Whoville to the ever faithful Horton the Elephant. Trent Tyson and Jonah Carlson share the role of young JoJo. Tyson performed the night that I saw the show. He has a strong clear voice and acting skills to match. His on stage chemistry with The Cat in the Hat playfully portrayed by Clinton Sherwood was evident

right from the start. Sherwood has boundless energy and is perfectly cast as the mischievous Cat in the Hat as he bounces in and out of scenes and narrates the story. Trisha Hart Ditsworth plays Gertrude McFuzz, the nerdy one-feather-tailed bird that is hopelessly in love with Horton and longs to capture his heart. Her beautiful voice and comedic talents made for a stand-out performance. Adrienne Griffiths is “amayzing” as the self-obsessed and sultry Mayzie LaBird, mother of an egg that she doesn’t want and Jason Sofge is loveable as the dependable and ever so loyal Horton with the kind and powerful heart. Keisha Gilles, in true diva style belted out her soulful tunes as Sour Kangaroo. The Wickersham Brothers (Jensen Clifford, Jordan

This spectacular and thrilling adventure of the imagination opened on Broadway November 30, 2000 and has been playing at various regional and community theaters for over 10 years. It is a composite of over 17 books by Dr. Seuss aka Theodore Geisel and includes all of his most memorable characters. But, this is definitely not just children’s theater. There are many levels to

Larson also plays the ditzy Mrs. Mayor (and mother of JoJo) alongside the charmingly kooky Tom Watkins as Mr. Mayor (who, by the way, has an amazing resemblance to the multi-talented Rob Watson who recently played the Captain in Broadway Palm’s The Sound of Music).

Costume Goddess Mary Atkinson include feathers and frills in every color of the rainbow and larger than life puppets that make this cast of 14 seem like many more. The result is simply spectacular!

Bet You Didn’t Know! by Stan Robinson

Silver Screen Scoop! By Joseph J. Airdo “The Hangover Part II” director Todd Phillips last week reportedly said that a third installment of the R-rated comedy franchise is in the cards. Moreover, while the latest chapter follows a formula that is similar to the first, albeit in a new setting (Thailand), Phillips hinted the next in the series, conceived as a grand finale of sorts, will not follow the same template. Be among the first to get the latest ‘scoop’ from Joseph J. Airdo at Examiner.com

Director Jennifer Yuh talks shooting ‘Kung Fu Panda 2’ Interview by Stan Robinson Imagine ‘eating, sleeping, and drinking’ the concept of a young adopted panda growing up and finding his way for seven years and you’ll have the journey of debut director Jennifer Yuh! She worked on the first ‘Kung Fu Panda’ (2008) as head of story/story artist and took over four years to bring to the screen. ‘Kung Fu Panda 2’ was three years in the making. I asked Jennifer how she was chosen as director… Jennifer: “I was on the first movie for four and a half years, a very long time, and being familiar with the story, characters, nuances, and when the option came up for the second film they came to me about it and I said sure, I just wanted to keep going with it, keep working on the story and the characters because I liked them so much. I really didn’t care what capacity, and when they said ‘as director’ I said ‘Sure, all right’ (with a chuckle!).”

Johnny Depp’s movie debut was in Wes Craven’s ‘A Nightmare On Elm Street’ (1984).

DVD Watch! The action packed chase adventure ‘Drive Angry’ starring Nicholas Cage and originally photographed in 3D and not re-mastered is available on DVD, Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D. Note: To watch in Blu-ray 3D, a 3D-capable television with activeshutter glasses and a 3D-capable Blu-ray player are needed.

May 26th, 2011 - June 2nd, 2011

There’s a well-rounded cast from the first film who reprised their rolls for the second… Jennifer: ‘It was certainly easier because I knew all the characters and they knew their characters so we could talk clearly about what each one was going through for each sequence. Talking to actors is the same as talking to any other artists, it’s getting into the moment for them, and making sure they can lose themselves in the performance! It was very casual and these are some of the best actors in the business, they’re very professional and very wonderful people to work with.” Read more from Stan Robinson’s interview with Jennifer Yuh exclusively online at ScreenScene.org and Examiner.com.

DJ Caruso Talks About I AM NUMBER FOUR By Randy Montgomery I Am Number Four is now available on Blu-ray Disc and DVD. Directed by DJ Caruso, the film is an adaptation of the young adult sci-fi novel. John (Alex Pettyfer), a 15-year old living a normal teenage life on earth when he finds out that he is from the planet Lorien and has superpowers, known as a “Legacy”. There are a handful of Loriens on earth and they are being hunted down one by one. John is Number Four and he is next. To his rescue… Number Six (Teresa Palmer) who helps fight off the evil Morgadorians. I Am Number Four perfectly combines action and teenage drama. The DVD includes bloopers and a special feature called “Becoming Six,” which follows Palmer as she masters stunts performed in the movie. In addition, the Blu-ray disc features deleted scenes, including a segment involving legendary actress Karen Allen. “I hated taking the Karen Allen scene out the most. I love, love, love her. I wish we had developed her character more to allow for a more significant role. We fully fleshed out her back story behind the scenes,” explains Caruso. “Sometimes cutting a scene is very difficult. Most of the time it becomes obvious as the narrative drive of the film becomes clear that a scene does not belong.” “Becoming Six is a cool feature that allows one to see how we created the fighting style and action elements for the Number Six character,” says Caruso. “Teresa worked very hard and it shows. She trained for nearly three months. Wirework is very difficult and requires a very strong core. Teresa became deadly with her daggers.” Caruso was very involved in the DVD/Bluray extras. “I worked with my editorial staff and we finished the DVD extras during the regular post period.”

Ed Gass-Donnelly studies spiritual struggle in ‘Murder Songs’ Interview by Joseph J. Airdo Subconsciously fascinated by the loss of a neighborhood’s innocence as a result of a double murder on his own street, writer/ director Ed Gass-Donnelly developed “Small Town Murder Songs,” opening exclusively at Harkins Valley Art this

AZWeeklyMagazine.com

weekend after winning Best Director in the World Cinema Competition at this year’s Phoenix Film Festival. “I was interested in exploring the ripple effects of a violent act like that on a community,” Gass-Donnelly explains. “A small town becomes kind of the perfect petri dish in which to explore that idea because you can literally have a town that hasn’t had a murder in many years.” In “Small Town Murder Songs,” which is described as a modern, gothic tale of crime and redemption, Peter Stormare plays Walter, an aging police officer from a small Ontario Mennonite town who hides a violent past until a local murder upsets the calm of his newly reformed life. Gass-Donnelly, who had been a fan of Stormare’s performance in the FOX television series “Prison Break,” saw an opportunity to cast Walter against type. He was especially convinced that Stormare was his perfect protagonist upon seeing the actor play a “sincere, gentle and innocent” character in “Dancer in the Dark” - quite the polar opposite of the villains for which he is most commonly known. “Because he has played so many bad guys, the audience doesn’t trust him at the beginning of the movie,” Gass-Donnelly adds. “It is almost like Peter Stormare and Walter are both trying to live down their reputations. Walter has a history of violence and Peter has this history of cinematic violence. I thought that was an interesting parallel with them both trying to prove that they are changed men.” Read more from Joseph J. Airdo’s interview with filmmaker Ed Gass-Donnelly exclusively online at Examiner.com.

the Salvador Dali (Adrien Brody) segment of my favorite artist. Well-done Woody Allen!” Grade: B+

Joseph: “Despite what you may have heard in DreamWorks’ memorably punny commercial shown during this year’s Superbowl, ‘Kung Fu Panda 2’ will not wok you. It won’t wok you at all. Granted, director Jennifer Yuh succeeds in making the animated sequel action packed but returning screenwriters Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger remove most of the heart – and therefore charm – from the pandemonium.” Grade: D

‘Small Town Murder Songs’

Stan: “This next installment in the maturing of the young Po (voiced by Jack Black) by director Jennifer Yuh, her directorial debut and also worked on the first, features the expected ‘kung fu’ action of its title, is more cerebral than the first which may leave a lot of the younger audiences behind as the saga continues.” Grade: C+

‘Midnight in Paris’ A young engaged couple (Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams) travels to the French capital for business and is forced to confront the illusion that a life different from their own is better. Written and directed by Woody Allen. Playing exclusively at Harkins Camelview 5. (R – 105 minutes) Joseph: “‘Midnight in Paris’ is Woody Allen’s funniest and most magical motion picture in years. The filmmaker’s latest romantic comedy is filled with exuberant whimsy and an incredibly lively sense of imagination that is best experienced knowing as little as possible about the plot’s proceedings. Simply see it in confidence that you will fall in love with the City of Light and find your lost faith in the neurotic New Yorker.” Grade: B Stan: “Midnight in Paris’ is magically brilliant as it lightheartedly mixes the elements of sci-fi time travel. A contemporary writer of today (Owen Wilson), slips away at midnight in Paris and is whisked away to the 1920s where he spends time with literary, musical, and artistic notables of the past, and returns to the present each morning with renew vigor and insight. A high point for me is

An ex-lover (Jill Hennessy) and her suspicious boyfriend (Stephen Eric McIntyre) complicate a troubled cop’s (Peter Stormare) investigation of his small town’s first murder in decades. Playing exclusively at Harkins Valley Art. (R – 76 minutes) Joseph: “Writer/director Ed GassDonnelly uses a slow pace to his advantage, covertly sliding the movie under the viewers’ skin. The result is an incredibly unsettling experience and one that keenly echoes the works of the Cohen brothers. Then again, that is a comparison this critic makes with caution because, from the looks of ‘Small Town Murder Songs,’ Gass-Donnelly is a cinematic master in and of himself.” Grade: A Stan: “The film starts as the usual ‘who done it’ at the onset - and then slowly morph’s into a psychological thriller. By the midway point, we as viewers are just as perplexed as the characters themselves. It’s the smaller independent movies that are the ‘gems of filmmaking’, ‘Small Town Murder Songs’ is priceless.” Grade: B

‘The First Grader’ An 84-year-old Kenyan (Oliver Litondo) fights for his right to attend school for the first time and receive the education he previously could not afford. Playing exclusively at Harkins Camelview 5. (PG13 – 99 minutes)

‘The Hangover Part II’ Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), Alan (Zach Galifianakis) and Doug (Justin Bartha) travel to exotic Thailand for Stu’s wedding and find their planned pre-wedding trip brunch going seriously awry. (R – 102 minutes)

‘The Upsetter: The Life and Music of Lee Scratch Perry’ A documentary of one of the most fascinating and influential artists of our times. Stock footage, photographs, concert video, audio clips, music video clips both old and new, and an exclusive, candid interview at his home in Switzerland. Filmed in Jamaica, London, Switzerland, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Colorado. Playing exclusively at the Film Bar in downtown Phoenix, AZ.

BEER! Endless Festival Fun in Review… The Ameri“CAN” Canned Craft Beer Festival Rumor had it that last Saturday was supposed to be the Rapture… apparently it wasn’t, which is a good thing. Supposedly scheduled at 6:00 PM, had the Rapture actually taken place, it may have had an impact on the end of the AmeriCAN Canned Craft Beer Festival. There were certainly some heavenly beers present and nobody wanted to see any of them depart this earth.This first ever festival was sponsored by Whole Foods Market and presented

SanTan also graciously did not enter their beers in the competition so as to avoid any appearance of impropriety. The event benefited Ear Candy, a music charity that provides youth access to musical education. When the festival opened to VIP guests at 1:00 pm, the finishing touches were being put on 50 or so tables featuring everything from hop tea to breweriana. And there was beer too, plenty of it, much of it from breweries that don’t distribute in Arizona. More about that later, but first let’s talk about some of the other fun stuff at the festival. The VIP area sat on the south side of the event in a large tent that featured a buffet catered by the fine folks at

The Hungry Monk. The food was everything you would expect from this excellent beer bar/restaurant and it was nice to see them involved in the event. The other highlight of the VIP area was a large swamp cooler,

O’Sullivan apparently liberated this case before getting on the plane and the people that splurged for VIP tickets were the beneficiaries. Outside in the sun, it was a beautiful day. Besides the requisite bands and food stands, the organizers set up a Beer Science Garden. Here was featured various malt and hop teas, so that people could understand the impact these ingredients have on the finished product. There was also a small canning machine and attendees had the opportunity to personally operate the machine while filling up one of the commemorative eight ounce cans with Root Beer from Sonoran Brewing Company. There were sales of breweriana as well, and the representative from Leinenkugel’s was able to find an old Leinie’s serving tray which complemented his booth perfectly. The Arizona Society of Homebrewers had a booth set up as well so they could show attendees the tools of homebrewing. The Beer For Brains Foundation was also set up at the

unavailable in Arizona beers. Ska Brewing brought their entire lineup, but one of the hits was the inaugural release of their Mexican Logger in cans. This light summer lager was perfect for the weather and a hit with the guests. Anderson Valley had their new cans available. Hop Ottin’, Boont Amber and Summer Solstice all looked and tasted great in their newly designed aluminum packages. Four Peaks also featured the canned release of their popular Hop Knot IPA, and Papago Brewing had the Orange Blossom and Coconut Joe canned specially for the event. Coconut Joe is a fantastic beer, and definitely one to try if you like the taste of coconut. New Belgium took the opportunity to send down a few cases of Ranger IPA in cans, but for now, that was a one-time occurrence. Lumberyard Brewing from Flagstaff didn’t bring anything new, but when you crank out two outstanding beers like their IPA and Red, you really don’t need much else. Of course other canned favorites such as Breckenridge, Crispin, Stiegl, Continued on page 35...

Bavik, Wittekerke, Blue Moon and Grand Canyon all had their canned offerings featured.

Other non-Arizona distribution breweries in attendance included Caldera from Eugene, Oregon. Their pale ale and IPA were certainly crowd pleasers. Bohemian made the drive down from Utah and treated guests to their Czech Pilsner, Viennese Lager and GABF winner Cherny Bock. Tiny Sun King from Indianapolis had beer there as well and wowed the audience with Sunlight Cream Ale, Wee Druid Scottish Ale and Osiris Pale Ale. No small wonder that they are getting the kind of positive press that we see on them.

When 6:00pm hit and last call was given, for the festival, not the Rapture, the crowd headed over to SanTan to continue the fun and have a little food. There wasn’t anybody in attendance that didn’t think the festival was a hit and many people were already excitedly discussing next year, and what new brewers might show up. After a quick count of everybody to make sure we were all still there it was time to call it an event. You will find the winners of the competition located elsewhere in this magazine, but the real winners were the 2,500 or so people that paid to drink some of the best craft beer around, with or without the cans.

What made the day very special was the number of breweries that do not distribute in Arizona that chose to send beer for the event. Some even went so far as to send representatives from the brewery to talk about their beers. Included in the latter category was 21st Amendment Brewing out of San Francisco. Their entourage included owners Shaun O’Sullivan and NicoFreccia, as well as Director of Sales, Dave Wilson. Nico donned his watermelon hat and vest to promote Hell or High Watermelon Wheat which was a big hit on this hot day, but not to be overlooked was the Brew Free or Die IPA and Back in Black IPA. Mammoth Brewing out of California brought their Epic IPA among other beers and sent down a representative as well. These two breweries had combined with SanTan Brewing on Thursday night to feature a canned craft beer dinner. In addition to the regular beers, Mammoth sent some of their IPA 395, a wonderful Imperial IPA flavored with some juniper berries. 21st Amendment owner NicoFreccia treated the crowd with the last case of this year’s release of Monk’s Blood. This Belgian style Strong ale is flavored with dried mission figs, vanilla and cinnamon and then aged on oak…a real treat, especially when

paired with Chef Dennis’ Shoo Fly Pie. The rest of the meal was just as wonderful and the beer and food pairings were perfect. But back to the festival.

ALL SPORTS - ALL THE TIME. UFC! 16 Taps! 22 Screens! Great Food!

‘A View From a Fan’ By Stan Robinson The Diamondbacks’ Sunday, May 22nd game against the Minnesota Twins with just over 31,000 in attendance with a 3-2 and a series ‘sweep’, had a few up-tempo stats to go with the win. The D’Backs are now at 500 with a 23-23 win/loss record, their longest winning streak in 3 seasons, and finished with a 6-1 record for this 7 game home stand! Now they’re off to Colorado for 3 games with the Rookies (May 24-26), and 3 against the Houston Astros (May 27-29) before returning home on Memorial Day (May 30th) for a holiday game against the Florida Marlins to start their next home stand.

While the Diamondbacks are away you can watch their games on Fox Sports and remember, when the D’Backs are away is the best time to take the tour of Chase Field which gives a lot more unrestricted access,

and the price is very affordable to experience the magic of baseball, up close and personal. I did and the information as well as access to all those areas you only hear about is well worth a visit. Tours are conducted year-round, for both individuals and groups. The prices for adults $7.00, children ages 7-12 $5.00, children ages 4-6 $3.00, and seniors it’s only $5.00. For the latest on the Arizona Diamondbacks with game analysis’, articles and a whole lot more, visit ‘Arizona Diamondbacks Examiner’ Mark Brown at Examiner.com. Thinking of adding a movie to your entertainment weekend, visit ScreenScene.org for what’s hot and, what’s not. Stan Robinson, a movie reviewer for the Film Section of AZ Weekly Entertainment Magazine, enjoys plays, live jazz, and live sports as a balance to the multitude of movies screened for review. Until next time from ‘A View From a Fan’, GO D’BACKS!

All White Party

NOW RENTING!

Sales by Geis Realty, LLC

It’s Memorial Day again, which means ‘tis the season to start wearing white--not that anyone really follows seasonal fashion rules anymore, though. Seeing lighter colored clothes and airy fabrics on tanner skin gives me three different feelings. The first one is excitement. I think all of us recall that feeling of embarking on a new summer adventure after school let out when we were kids—it’s a feeling I hope to never lose. The second feeling is apprehension. Why this? I hate sweating…especially in crowded bars and clubs where people sweat on you and the air gets moist. Gross if there’s not adequate AC, but not gonna lie, that’s never stopped me before. The third feeling is sexy. Although sweaty bodies bumping and grinding on each other can be distasteful to some, the look is appealing. Everyone is glowing, people look thinner (because they’re tanner and wearing lighter colors), and less clothing allows people’s imaginations to go wildly sensual. This Sunday, kick off your summer at Dirty Pretty’s All White Party and let the music, dancing, and beautiful people inspire you to have a memorable season. Free before 10:30 if you wear all white, open bar for ladies before 11:00. May 29th. Dirty Pretty in Scottsdale. Hip Hop/R&B. 21+

Too bad they weren’t and :WumpscART: Festival & Postso sad I didn’t anyway. There probably won’t Apocalyptic Art Show be cash drifting down from the ceiling but Attention Sinners: If you were not selected there will definitely be dancing at Scottsdale’s to go to heaven during the Rapture last week newest ultra lounge, The Mint, which used on the 21st, then you might as well get used to be a bank--thus the name. Wednesday to darker themes in your life and attend this is the grand opening and promises to be a art show at the Galleria De Los Muertos in good time with house music and pop spun by downtown Phoenix. Not only do you get to DJ Scene. Apparently this 7000 square foot ponder at work created live with a grinder, area has three bars including a champagne but you also get to listen to some tunes far bar in the bathroom. How fancy! Inside you’ll different from those played by angels which find the original vault door as this venue’s is not necessarily a bad thing because really, centerpiece along with lavish dark woods, who wants to party to harp music? California marble, and fireplaces so you can feel classy. DJs, VJ Bat and DJ Vikki Wilson along with The outdoor patio is the largest in Old Town local DJ Blonde Noize will be performing while and has resort-style cabana seating when it’s you peruse through the gallery and watch a pan-Asian restaurant during the day. The Zachary Dean Glover of Allobjects Art show Mint sounds fresh and has the potential to be his work which will consist of sculptures and the next Scottsdale hot spot - so be one of the metal costumes—ground up.
