‘Buried’ Frightfully psychologically disturbing… Interview/Review by Stan Robinson I can’t remember a movie that when it ends, I just sat in my seat, stunned and overwhelmed with feelings of extreme anxiety. Three factors needed to be in place: a very good script, a director with vision, and an actor who can deliver a ‘tour de force’ performance. ‘Buried’ is that movie…
September 30th, 2010 - October 6th, 2010
Paul Conroy (Ryan Reynolds) is a U.S. contractor, a truck driver working in Iraq. After his convey is attack by a group of Iraqis, he wakes to find he’s buried alive inside a coffin. With only a lighter and a cell phone, it’s a race against time to escape this claustrophobic death trap. I learned early on in film school that the basis for a movie starts with the ‘printed word’. Our professor’s favorite line ‘If it isn’t on the page, it won’t be on the screen’, takes me to Chris Sparling, the screenplay writer for ‘Buried’. One can write a story with the key factors of locations, actors, and a projected budget as perimeters. Chris answered my question with a chuckle! “I wish I could say it was creative, it was actually more financial. I tried to come up with the most contained story I could possibly tell, in addition to being one that involved as few actors and locations as possible. Once I had the basic concept of being buried alive as the premise, I didn’t want to go the horror route. After researching the dangers so many civilian contractors are facing in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the unimaginable conditions those of them who are kidnapped endure, I knew right away I had the base for my story.” The next aspect is the director’s vision of the printed words. “Rodrigo (Cortes) and I talked a lot! Having directed a few projects myself, I really got keen insight as he talked about shots to create the claustrophobic feeling of being inside a coffin. He really had a firm cinematic vision on wanting to psychologically put viewers inside that box!” In the title role with more than 95% of the scenes inside the coffin, actor Ryan Reynolds delivers a wide range of emotions that are riveting. Not since “Sleuth” with Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine (1972) and the reimaging with Michael Caine and Jude Law (2007), which featured only two actors for the whole movie, has there been such a compelling performance. There’s more with screenplay writer Chris Sparling and ‘Buried’ at www. ScreenScene.org 5 of 5 stars

‘Frozen’ A spine-chilling Sophie’s choice By Joseph J. Airdo If one ever finds himself stranded on a ski chairlift, the correct course of action is to first remove one’s ski boots and then jump to the ground, breaking one’s ankles in the process. “If you break your ankles, you can still pull yourself down the mountain,” explains Adam Green, writer and director of “Frozen,” a psychological thriller that made its DVD debut this week. “If you jump with your boots on, it’s going to straighten your legs out … and you’re going to compound fracture your legs.” In “Frozen,” Kevin Zegers, Shawn Ashmore, and Emma Bell star as three snowboarders who get stranded on a ski chairlift taking them to the last run of the day. Once frostbite and hypothermia begin to set in, the snowboarders come to terms with the fact that they must take desperate measures if they want to have any chance of escaping the snowy mountain with their lives intact.
“I would just cry and probably freeze to death, to be honest with you,” Green says. Read the rest of this feature story and Joseph J. Airdo’s review of “Frozen” exclusively online at Examiner.com.

‘Let Me In’ a chilling vampire story Review by Stan Robinson Movies and television series featuring story themes of vampires and werewolves have been prominent the last few years.

Scottsdale International Film Festival Celebrates Ten Years By Randy Montgomery
Attending a film festival is a unique experience. You meet others who have a passion for film, are treated to the best in world and independent cinema, plus have the opportunity to discover that true gem that will stick with you for years to come. The Scottsdale International Film Festival is celebrating its 10th Anniversary this year. A small event that was born in the shadows of 9/11, has grown into a well respected and well attended festival. “Ten years ago, I seriously questioned whether it would last more than a year, it was a true experiment. I have taken it one day at a time. Here I am ten years later,” says founder and festival director Amy Ettinger. What has made the festival stand the test of time and made fans come back year after year? “An eye on quality,” says Ettinger. “The quality of films, the quality of the experience and the quality of the vendors and partners. The community responds favorably.”
14
Each year the festival receives hundreds of submissions from filmmakers and studios around the world hoping to get their film showcased during the five day event. Ettinger, along with a panel of volunteers screen the films looking for the best. They look for “…an interesting story, told well.” Diversity is the key. This year there
While many patrons spend the entire weekend taking in numerous movies, there are still those that are new to the festival scene. To those folks, Ettinger says, “All I ask is to commit to see a film. Just one.” From past experience, those that attend and purchase a single ticket end up staying for other selections and become loyal fans. You never know what you may see. As Ettinger explains, “There are a lot of films screening this year that may be a while before they make it back to the states.” Many of the selections may never make it back to the market, while others are being remade by Hollywood to be screened at your local multiplex. While Twilight was making millions, another series of films based on popular novels was creating an equal amount of buzz at the indie box office; The Millennium Trilogy. The Swedish films based on the books by author Steig Larsson released internationally to critical acclaim and audience buzz. Here in the U.S., the first two films were equally well received. The much anticipated third and final installment The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest will open the 10th Annual Scottsdale International Film Festival Friday, October 1 at Scottsdale Center for the Arts. The festival will continue Saturday, October 2 through Tuesday, October 5 at Harkins Camelview 5. The festival will close with the Hillary Swank/Sam Rockwell indie Conviction Tuesday night.

Some Shows Not To Miss This Week...

BY KATE O’HARE Howie Mandel may be able to wrangle contestants on NBC, whether as the host of the game show “Deal or No Deal” or as a judge on “America’s Got Talent,” but apparently he couldn’t manage his longhaired Chihuahua, Lola. After the dog attacked both Mandel and his wife, Terry, the comedian put the word
out on Twitter – and Cesar Millan came to the rescue. In the season premiere of National Geographic Channel’s “Dog Whisperer,” airing Friday, Oct. 8, Millan takes on the dual challenge of dealing with Lola and Mandel, who has both OCD and ADHD on top of being a comic.
Millan says:
Cesar Millan (left) and Howie Mandel
People sometimes get pit bulls and Rottweilers because of ego, but they’re not the only dogs acquired for the wrong reason. “In the fashion world,” says Millan, “they use little dogs as an accessory, which is just as bad. You call yourself a dog lover, but you’re not allowing them to be dogs, because they’re always in a bag. Hurting a dog is not just fighting him; it’s denying him the ability to just be a dog.”
Alison Sweeney hosts as contestants take on challenges that may result in weight loss in “The Biggest Loser” Tuesdays on NBC.
Danny Pudi stars as Abed Nadir, a film student at a Colorado community college, in “Community” Thursdays on NBC.

It’s Jaden Smith, son of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, instead of Ralph Macchio – and Jackie Chan instead of Noriyuki “Pat” Morita in this update of the much-beloved family film, which scored significantly at the summer box office. Smith plays a Detroit youngster newly relocated to China, where a bully makes life tough for him ... until a maintenance man with a surprising knack for martial arts steps in to help. Smith also performs the picture’s theme song with tween sensation Justin Bieber. DVD extras: “making-of” documentary; music video; Chinese lessons. ››› (PG: AS, P, V) (Also on Blu-
“A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET” You can’t keep a good movie villain down, especially if he has memorable appliances such as the knife-like fingernails of Freddy Krueger, the fiend of many unfortunate teenagers’ dreams. Jackie Earle Haley (“Watchmen”) inherits the part from Robert Englund in this often graphic – but only moderately effective – reboot of the original thriller, with Rooney Mara (who will star in the Americanization of “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo”) as Freddy’s main target. DVD extra: “making-of” documentary. ›› (R: AS, P, GV) (Also on Blu-ray)

“BASEBALL: THE TENTH INNING” Rarely does an existing documentary get an update, but genre titan Ken Burns has done that – in collaboration with filmmaking partner Lynn Novick – by adding an additional chapter to his ode to the sport. Hitting video the week after its television debut on PBS, it covers relevant events that have transpired from the 1990s to now, one of the most notable being the breaking of the alleged Boston Red Sox curse that enabled the team to become World Series champions. Joe Torre, Bud Selig, Bob Costas and Keith Olbermann are among those who offer comments. DVD extras: deleted scenes; additional interviews. ››› (Not rated: P) (Also on Blu-ray) “THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE (FIRST SEQUENCE)” Properly reputed as one of the most disturbing horror movies of recent times, writer-director Tom Six’s melodrama got plenty of word-of-mouth on the film-festival circuit. It lands two stranded college coeds (Ashley C. Williams, Ashlynn Yennie) in the lair of a former surgeon (the wonderfully named Dieter Laser) who is conducting a secret, cringe-inducing experiment. He wants to physically link several people to create a literal human centipede, and the young women are the latest candidates to ... er, “join.” DVD extras: theatrical trailer; “making-of” documentary; audio commentary by Six; deleted scene; alternate posters. ››› (Not rated: AS, P, GV) (Also on Blu-ray) “SPLICE” Messing around with science or nature always is dicey, as the characters played by Oscar winner Adrien Brody (“The Pianist”) and Sarah Polley (“The Sweet Hereafter”) discover anew in this thriller. They play scientists who combine DNA taken from different animals with human genes to develop a new life form – and when the resulting creature (Delphine Chaneac) takes a shine to her male creator, it’s trouble time. Solid acting helps overcome too-familiar conventions of the genre here. ›› (R: AS, N, P, V) (Also on Blu-ray)
A year ago, Ben Rappaport was carrying trays of miniburgers and miniquesadillas at Manhattan fashion industry parties. “I was walking up to models and they would give me death looks, like, ‘You think I will eat that?’ ” he says. He had recently graduated from Juilliard and was a struggling New York actor. Today he’s the lead of NBC’s sitcom “Outsourced,” airing Thursdays. “I can’t wrap my head around it,” he says of his new status. “It’s just absolutely the right part; it’s that the universe lines up and seems like it was written for me.” Last winter he went on 10 auditions a week while working odd jobs. He had an off-Broadway play to his credit. Rappaport read the script in the subway on his way to the audition. The show is set in a call center in India, which Rappaport’s character, Todd, is sent to manage. He was in management trainee school for Mid America Novelties, which sells fake vomit and mistletoe belt buckles. He returns to an empty office; his boss explains they “right-sized.” Todd’s choice is to move to India or become unemployed. “A lot of Todd is paying homage to my father,” Rappaport says; his dad works in the plastics industry and travels around the world as a consultant. “I imagine my father in India and being in the same situation. He would try really hard, and it felt right.” Todd does try really hard, and though there is a narrowminded American as a support character, Todd is respectful as an expatriate. The show, likely to anger those who consider it racist toward Indians, is essentially an office comedy, Rappaport says. “I think people will be surprised as to how relatable these characters are,” he says. “It is a workplace comedy, and it is about these characters.” Home: reared in Texas; now lives in Studio City, Calif. Age: 24 Where you’ve seen him: On a Kay Jewelers commercial, where he has trouble signing for his deaf girlfriend What’s always in his fridge: Sriracha hot sauce Pets: “I really want a bulldog,” he says. “I love bulldogs. I grew up with a dachshund/basset hound mix.” Getting around: In New York, he walked for miles. “I learned to drive in Texas. The difference here is it is really aggressive and really difficult,” he says of driving in L.A. Goal: To be bicoastal and work in TV, onstage and in movies

LAW & ORDER: LOS ANGELES Wednesday at 9 p.m. on , KPNX While investigating thieves who target the homes of young Hollywood dwellers, Los Angeles police detectives Rex Winters and Tomas “TJ” Jaruszalski (Skeet Ulrich, Corey Stoll) quickly realize there is more to the crimes, expecially when a shocking crime at the home of a starlet (guest star Danielle Panabaker) takes place after the perpetrators are identified.

Tony Danza may be the most earnest man on television. He’s also fun, enthusiastic and determined, all evident in A&E Network’s documentary series “Teach: Tony Danza,” airing Fridays. Danza’s intentions are noble. He can “smell 60” and wanted to do something worthwhile, so he taught for a year. This show raises many questions, especially: Is desire to teach enough? And are there limits to reality? “This was respectful reality,” he says. “That’s alliteration, by the way.” It’s that cocky and funny attitude that makes Danza so likable. Still, the kids are on camera, which must compromise learning, yet they seem completely oblivious to cameras. Danza acts the same whether he’s in front of a class or with one reporter: He talks animatedly and a lot. He’s trying so hard his sincerity is palpable. But can his great intentions trump the fact that he’s not certified? Philadelphia’s Northeast High School, where 3,500 students speak 57 different languages, got around the certification problem by teaming him with a master teacher. Still, it’s Danza in front of the 10th-grade English class, tap-dancing (literally), explaining what a protagonist is and sometimes getting shown up by smart kids. It’s also Danza encouraging them: “Make the best of a bad situation.”

Langston and Willows (Laurence Fishburne, Marg Helgenberger) and the rest of team investigate when a woman is fatally attacked by a shark in the pool at a Las Vegas casino, but the question is whether the real killer may be human. Elliott Gould guest stars in the new episode “Pool Shark.” Jorja Fox also stars. TEACH: TONY DANZA Friday at 10 p.m. on H A&E This new seven-part reality series follows former “Who’s the Boss?” star Tony Danza as he steps into Philadelphia’s Northeast High School as a 10th-grade English teacher during the 2009-10 school year. In the series opener, “Back to School,” Tony meets the faculty, including principal Linda Carroll and teaching coach David Cohn. THE BLIND SIDE Saturday at 8 p.m. on (200) HBO A true story that had a major box-office impact, this drama from director-screenwriter John Lee Hancock (“The Rookie”) became an Academy Award contender for best picture and also gave Sandra Bullock her first Oscar nomination for best actress. She and country music star Tim McGraw play a Southern couple who take in troubled youth Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron) and give him the opportunity to become a football standout. Kathy Bates co-stars. AMERICA’S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS Sunday at 6 p.m. on / KNXV Are you on Team Tom or Team Bob? The 21st season premiere of this viewer-driven series includes footage of siblings arguing over who is the better host — the show’s current emcee, Tom Bergeron, or former host Bob Saget. Other clips feature a guy literally breaking in his new motorcycle and — gross-out alert — a bulldog drooling on his master’s sandwich and a montage of men getting waxed.

“The Wedding Singer” (1998): An adorable Barrymore plays the waitress who catches the eye of the jilted title crooner (Adam Sandler). “Scream” (1996): Seen only in the opening sequence, Barrymore absolutely owned it as she set the mood and pace of the horror homage. “Irreconcilable Differences” (1984): Eight years old at the time, Barrymore had a lot of the heavy lifting in this comedy-drama about a youngster seeking emancipation from her parents. “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” (1982): The sum was greater than its parts here, but as little sister Gertie, Barrymore was a notable part of this Steven Spielbergdirected boy-meets-alien classic.

While we are not normally huge fans of remakes, we are capable of looking past the lack of Jack Lord and embracing the new “Hawaii Five-0,” airing Mondays on CBS. True, most of that can be directly attributed to the thought of Grace Park on the sands of Waikiki, but just hearing the names Steve McGarrett and Danno makes us smile. So if you love crime in a lush tropical setting and think grass skirts are primed for a comeback, call your friends and neighbors because we’re throwing a “Hawaii Five-0” party! Be there. Aloha.

Given its title, authors and content, The Quarterback Killer’s Cookbook surely won’t be confused with the overly precious culinary guides of Martha Stewart. This is a manly man’s cookbook, written for outdoorsmen who’ve got game (so to speak) and would like to prepare something sexier than venison steaks and elk chops.
summer $20 sampler
Minnesota Vikings quarterback and big game hunter Jared Allen teams up with Scottsdale chef Aaron May, who nimbly moves from Spanish tapas at Iruña to hearty guy food at The Lodge to write a game-lover’s cookbook for people who love good food but would rather spend hours in the wild than in the kitchen.

NFL Football Star and Sophisticated Scottsdale Chef Team Up for a Cookbook That’s Got Game
1 Pizza, 1 Salad & 2 Glasses of Wine* Through Sept. 30, 2010
May, who spent childhood summers in the woods of Wisconsin, applies the French cooking techniques he learned as a young chef in Paris to the recipes here, asserting, “You use the same skills, experience and knowledge, whether it’s rack of lamb, walleye or venison. What you do with lamb chops, you can do with elk chops or venison. What you do with pork, you can do with wild boar or javelin.” It’s a matter of adaptation and opening the mind to delicious possibilities. The 100+ page book offers 30 wild game recipes with woodsy flavor and urban appeal, as well as serious macho tone, thanks to chapter heads such as “Badass Men, Better Meat” and hunting tales, told in Allen’s irreverent style. Cooks and cookbook readers will find straightforward dishes such as fish tacos, buffalo meat loaf and steak sauce as well as downright sophisticated recipes, including duck confit, wild boar ragu with fettuccine, cocoa-crusted venison with coffee sauce, elk Wellington and trout Veracruz. In a nod to The Lodge, (May’s cozy Scottsdale restaurant and bar which evokes the hunting lodges of the northern Midwest), there’s even a recipe for his famous Sasquatch Burger, the patty flanked on both sides by grilled cheese sandwiches instead of burger buns.

Hidden Gems
fine place to relax for an evening, or afternoon, of casual drinking. Shoot some pool, watch a little television or chat up your neighbor at the bar. It’s a comfortable place to have a few beers, and they have an outstanding juke box.
We all know some of the great places to find beer in the Phoenix area. Of course there are all the places that are supposed to have good beer. Places like Papago, Taste of Tops, Sun Devil Liquors and all of the great local breweries. Most of you even know that Whole Foods, Sunflower, Sprouts and AJ’s Fine Foods have great beer selections. You may not know yet that the Whole Foods in Chandler just added about 20 taps to their tasting bar, but you probably will find that out soon. What about those places you wouldn’t expect to have great beer? How about restaurants where you just wouldn’t expect good beer or that really out of the way place? Are there places like that in Arizona that have great beer? I think you know the answer or we wouldn’t be talking about it here. So let’s take a look at some of these hidden gems. Everybody knows that sushi demands pale lagers, preferably with a Japanese name, even if they are brewed in the United States or in Canada. Moto, located at 16th

Street and Glendale in Phoenix doesn’t buy in to that concept. With a menu of fantastic sushi (ask for the underground menu) as well as great noodle and rice dishes it sounds like a typical sushi bar. Well they also have a buffalo burger and rib eye steak, and something called an Exit Wound bowl (don’t want to know about that). This is one of the few sushi bars that I have ever seen that have been able to pull of an all you can eat sushi deal (on Saturdays) and actually make it work. And beer, they have great beer. Sure you can usually get a Japanese beer, but check out the other named beer handles. There is usually something from Avery or Ballast Point on tap. And, on a fairly regular basis, they clear off all taps and put on a selection of amazing beers as part of an event. The events are incredible at Moto. They usually start at 4:00 PM and go on until close, they usually feature at least one rare beer, and they always draw a full house of people enjoying great beer and great company. Located just of Route 51, they are easy to get to, and you will never leave disappointed. For years TT Roadhouse, located on 68th Street just north of Thomas Thomas, was known as a great dive bar. Well new ownership brought on a new attitude. Don’t worry, its still the same

2010 Off-Centered Experience This Saturday the Scottsdale Plaza Resort will host what promises to be the craft-beer enthusiasts “cultural event” of the year. This event is organized by the Beer For Brains Foundation and benefits the Barrow Brain Tumor Research Center in Phoenix. This center is part of the Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph’s Hospital which is internationally recognized as a leader in neurological research and patient care. This is the cause.... Here’s how we can help. Come drink some great beer, eat some great food and enjoy some of the top local bands around. Some of the beers that will be available include unique brews from Founders Brewing, Three Floyds and NOLA. Sam Calagione of Dogfish Head and honorary chairman of the event will be sending a variety of beers as well as some special aged kegs. Our own local brewery, SanTan, has promised “something special” for this event. The menu will have a “midAtlantic” theme and feature Maryland Crab Cakes, Steamed Shrimp, boardwalk fries and funnel cakes. On top of all that, live music will be provided by three top local bands. The Bad Cactus Brass Band is a New Orleans-style second line street jazz band. Gooder, having recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of their first performance,
has a new single out titled “Wasted”. Rounding it out is La La Lush. With a name like that, it was obviously a perfect choice for this event. Also going on will be raffles, auctions, indie films and more! All proceeds (less nominal expenses) will be donated to the cause. All workers volunteer their time to The Beer For Brains Foundation who is an organization named and designed by craft beer enthusiasts who are dedicated to enhance awareness, compassion, hope and research for those afflicted with brain cancer. This wonderful event promises to be extremely entertaining and TONS of FUN! The Off-Centered Experience will be held October 2 at the Scottsdale Plaza Resort from 5:30PM to 10:30PM. Regular tickets are $75 per person and include access to all beers a hat and your own special drinking glass. The VIP pass at $150 includes regular ticket amenities plus unlimited food and more (limit of 100 VIP tickets).

Cheers to Women and Craft Beer! by Maureen Basenberg
I’m excited to join the AZ Weekly Magazine Family as a writer about women and craft beer. Earlier this year I started AZ Girl’s Pint Out, a women’s beer education group focused on providing social and educational opportunities for women to experience craft beer with friends and make new friends. While the craft beer industry continues to grow, women have yet to feel fully comfortable enjoying a pint with the gals. Pubs are largely a male domain and the basis of understanding about beer is still largely rooted in mass produced beer ads (this goes for men and women). The goal of AZ Girls’ Pint Out is to build a bridge between women and craft beer and enjoy a pint or two while crossing! It has been my privilege to start the chapter of Girls’ Pint Out in Arizona. Originally founded in Indiana, there are now chapters growing across the country. My motivation to start

the group comes from my own love for craft beer. My husband and I are home brewers and I have travelled all over the world learning about different styles of beer. The AZ Girls’ Pint Out column will discuss craft beer from a woman’s perspective, industry news and updates on our upcoming gatherings. Our next event will be volunteering at the Arizona Home Brewer’s Oktoberfest October 23. For more information check AZ Girls’ Pint Out on Facebook or e-mail azgirlspintout@ gmail.com. Cheers!
6032 East Cave Creek Road, this restaurant serves cowboy food with a unique twist…Green Chile Mac and Cheese, Sonoran Crab Cakes and a Barbecue Chicken Salad are a few of their signature items. With entertainment regularly including comedy on Wednesday nights and unique musical acts, some of which tour nationally, on other nights, Cody’s puts a unique spin on entertainment as well. And owner George Duerr puts on some incredibly unique events as well. Do you notice a “unique” theme here? But we’re here for the beer, so how about that? It’s pretty good by our standards. While not a top notch beer bar, its still a refuge for folks in that part of the Valley to be able to enjoy some great beer with a meal. Look for Papago Orange Blossom, Grand Canyon Amber and Big Sky Trout Slayer on tap, and a decent selection of bottles as well. A hidden gem within this hidden gem are the cans of Grand Canyon Black Iron IPA cans. Check it out before or after the Taste of Cave Creek event on Wednesday or Thursday of this week. Okay, maybe this one isn’t a hidden gem anymore because they have received a lot of word of mouth about their beer selection but Stogie Cutter still deserves to be on this list just for their approach to offering fine cigars and fine beer. Tucked into a small strip mall at 833 North Cooper Road in Gilbert, it feels more like a corner tavern than a cigar bar. Ask Richard, the owner, to pair you up with a cigar to go with one of the SanTan beers on tap, or find something with a rich flavor to go with The Lost Abbey Ten Commandments. If you look carefully you will see a bottle of Sonoran 200 behind the bar. A snifter of that with a cigar goes mighty fine together as well. Always check out the ever changing bottle selection in the cooler to the right of the bar. Nobody expects to walk into a family chain pizza restaurant and find great beer, but that’s exactly what you get at Mellow Mushroom. A fun environment whether you’re there with the kids or showing up with a group of friends to drink some beer. The bar area is separated from the
dining room but is open and well lit. The menu is full of interesting pizzas, sandwiches and salads. And the beer…well Mellow Mushroom features 40 taps, everything craft and import and all of it good. Abita Purple Haze is one of their best selling handles, but you can find Papago Orange Blossom, Wyder’s Pear Cider, Grand Canyon Pilsner, Left Hand 400 Pound Monkey and on the nitrogen tap, its far from the usual, Left Hand Milk Stout served nice and creamy. Mellow Mushroom also has probably the best selection of canned beer available at any restaurant in Phoenix.

Not too much breaks up the drive to Rocky Point, but you have to slow down as you enter Ajo. Which is okay, because shortly after you enter one of the last towns you go through in Arizona, a little package store called Indulgence appears on the left side of the road. Do yourself a favor, you’ve been driving for a while, take a break, stretch your legs and wander inside. Indulgence has quietly built a very nice selection of craft beer in this remote part of the state. Pick up some bottles of Grand Canyon or some SanTan cans to take with you to Mexico, or ask about some of the specialty bottles that Indulgence accumulates. If Tom is there, make sure you spend some time talking good beer with him because he knows his stuff, and he may have something even more special hidden in the back. It’s always nice to treat yourself to a couple of special beers in between the Tecate and Corona in Rocky Point. If you’re hungry go a little further to Tom’s other place, 100 Estrella, the name is the address, and try a burger with some good beer. Every few months we should look at some different hidden gems, because after appearing in these pages they may not be hidden anymore. So whether you’re eating sushi, or in the mood for cowboy food or heading to Rocky Point, it’s always nice to know that you don’t have to forego craft beer. So now that you know you can enjoy yourself anywhere, get out there and do it.

Max Sports Grille 7134 E.Thomas Rd.Scottsdale The Official Huskers Bar GO BIG RED Huskers N. Arizona is a group that was started in June of 2009 by three people: former Cornhusker defensive
coach Charlie McBride, Jayne Vipond and Jean Carhart. The intention of this trio was to bring together the numerous Nebraska Cornhusker fans and alumni, give back to the community, provide a place to cheer on their team plus have A LOT of fun in the process! The owner of Max Sports Grille, Duke is a huge Cornhusker fan and previously owned a “Nebraska bar” in California. When he heard
of the trio’s intentions, he was one of the first to jump on the “BIG RED bandwagon” and offered his sports bar as a home base both for Huskers fans and for the Husker N. Arizona club. With over 40 high-definition televisions, a Husker in every chair and “GO BIG RED” in surround sound, Max Sports Grille is a perfect place to call home on Husker game day!

Philadelphia can be a tough town on visiting athletes. Weirdly enough, it can be even tougher on its own. Philly fans have been known to abuse – both verbally and physically – their own players and coaches, hurling everything from idle threats to garbage. But there’s a new sheriff in town this year as the Eagles have moved Kevin Kolb (pronounced “Cobb”) into the starting quarterback position after the trade of longtime regular Donovan McNabb to the Washington Redskins. So what makes us think he has any better chance of garnering respect than former Pro Bowler McNabb? The fact he hunts wild boar with little more than a couple of dogs and a Bowie knife. That’s right, a Bowie knife. And while we don’t expect a 12-inch blade to deter all of Philly’s angry fans, the thought of Kolb gutting a boar just for fun should slow down FULL NAME: most long enough to give him a fighting chance. Kevin Benjamin Kolb Since joining the Eagles in ’07, Kolb has shown BIRTHPLACE: moments of brilliance. Most notably, last season he Victoria, Texas became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for BIRTH DATE: more than 300 yards in his first two starts while filling in Aug. 24, 1984 for an injured McNabb. No doubt those performances helped pave the way for McNabb’s departure. POSITION: Quarterback And this season, with a young team surrounding him, Kolb expects to feel the pressure to keep the Eagles in the HEIGHT: 6 feet 3 playoff hunt. With that said, experts still pick the team to inches win 10 games thanks to an expected breakout season from WEIGHT: 218 pounds a man you might say is dangerously close to a wild boar.

Michael Feinstein is on a mission, and we should thank him. He’s saving a vital part of America – our music. His work, divided between performing familiar favorites and collecting music, is woven into a three-part documentary, PBS’ “Michael Feinstein’s American Songbook,” beginning Wednesday, Oct. 6 (check local listings). It continues the next two Wednesdays. Like most people with a guiding passion, Feinstein started young. By 5, he could hear a song and play it on the piano. At 54, rock is a more likely influence, but his tastes run toward Frank Sinatra. “We are all responsible for preserving our heritage and music,” Feinstein says. “It exists because it is passed on from one person to another. I hope people will have a greater awareness of this music and not throw away anything that could be valuable to a future generation.” Wearing jeans, a crisp white shirt and a navy blazer, Feinstein relaxes on the terrace of his Los Angeles mansion, explaining why sheet music and original recordings must be saved. He travels the country, meeting with the children of musicians, and leaves toting shopping bags of 78s and yellowing sheet music, the ephemera that make for a history of song. All his life, Feinstein has been rifling through dusty stores, thumbing through LPs, then lugging home treasures to catalog. A center in Carmel, Ind., is under construction to house his collection. Feinstein’s affinity for these songs led him to the masters. As a young man, he worked for Ira Gershwin. “Everything is a continuum,” he says. “Elvis Costello and Billy Joel have a sense of history and have taken past music and created something.” This leads to the big question: Just what is the American songbook? Is any American song automatically in as a birthright? “The songs I consider standards are primarily made up of accomplishments of writers most active from the ’20s through the ’50s,” he says. “Time is the arbiter. Time determines what is classic, what lasts. Many songs that are hits today won’t last. Time does clarify the essence of everything.” Inarguable, yet a bit of a mystical approach; Feinstein, though, is quite direct in embracing a song. Watching him onstage is to see the missionary of music at work: He loves spreading the word. Sure, he sings old songs, but this is not an oldies concert. Instead, it’s a celebration of music for people who appreciate the romance in a lyric.

Jonas Brothers aren’t bothered about Bieber The Jonas Brothers aren’t afraid of Justin Bieber’s success. The pop trio – siblings Joe, Kevin and Nick Jonas - aren’t worried their fans might start supporting the ‘Baby’ hitmaker instead of them.
as they’re doing it for the right reasons, we’ll totally support them.” The brothers have always had a lot of female fans, and their girl admirers were seemingly relieved earlier this year to learn that Joe, 21, had split from his singer-and-actress girlfriend Demi Lovato.
Adam Levine finished with model songs Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine wants to stop singing about women. The ‘Misery’ singer admits it is “absolutely ridiculous” how many models are featured in the band’s songs, videos and album covers, and is planning
for the group to take a new direction. Speaking of the situation, Adam said: “I need to find something else to harp on about, you know? I am aware of that. I don’t think anyone on planet Earth wants to see me kissing another girl. It is absolutely ridiculous at this point. We’re ready to change that.”
Kevin said: “I think there is room for everybody. We’re not afraid of anything or worried about anything. We’re just being who we are and making music that we love. We’re proud of the guys that are following their dreams. As long
Jay-Z nearly leaked himself Jay-Z almost accidentally leaked his ‘The Blueprint 3’ album on the internet himself. The US rapper - who released the album, his most recent, last September - admitted he worried the album could leak at any moment for months after accidentally leaving an iPod containing all the tracks on a plane.

He told Forbes.com: “The day I flew in from Hawaii, where ‘The Blueprint 3’ was largely recorded, I was doing some recording, and I had an iPod in my pocket on a commercial flight from Hawaii to New York. I had on jogging pants, and the iPod, with all the music I had recorded, went missing - it was on the plane somewhere. So every day I would wake up and check all the internet places, for like September 30th, 2010 - October 6th, 2010

three months.” Luckily Jay’s album was never leaked - however fellow hip-hop star Dr. Dre has not been so lucky, and the long awaited release of his forthcoming ‘Detox’ album has been beset by tracks leaked on the internet.

If there was ever a World Series of zombie killing, I’d have to imagine that it’d be a lot like the 2006 Capcom blockbuster “Dead Rising.” And if they were to hand out MVP honors to one overachieving ghoul destroyer, they would definitely go to the game’s protagonist, photojournalist Frank West. Well, that was four years ago, and a new heavy hitter has stepped up to the plate looking to steal the title of creative zombie bashing while saving his daughter in the process. The man is Chuck Greene, and the name of the game is “Dead Rising 2.” Motocross champion Chuck isn’t the luckiest man on the zombie-infested planet. Sadly, his wife has been killed, and his 7-year-old daughter, Katey, has been infected. In order to purchase the medicine that will stop Katey from turning into an undead little kid, Chuck must now compete in a game show that awards money for surviving zombie-filled arenas. If he fails, he loses the only family he has left. “Dead Rising 2” plays much like the original, placing you in the role of our hero as you slash, slap, crush, shoot and burn every zombie you see. This third-person actioner has been given quite a few upgrades, not only in the weapons of undead destruction but with the general gameplay and story. In the past, you would find a baseball bat and bash as many of the shambling horde as you could. Now, thanks to the inclusion of Combo Weapons, you can take two items and a roll of duct tape and create an off-the-wall zombie-slaying device. This can be anything from the simplistic Electric Rake to the more bizarre Drill Bucket.

Keep Track of the Cigars You Smoke Keeping some sort of journal or log of your cigars is a good idea for any smoker, especially if you’re new to the cigar world. I promise you darling, you will not remember the name of the great cigar your buddy gave you at the bar. Even if you just save the cigar band you’ll do yourself a great service the next time you want to smoke that same cigar. Keep track, you’ll be glad you did.

ALL MY CHILDREN Greenlee confessed to forging the letters but denied killing David. Ryan asked her if she did it, and Jesse told Ryan that security footage shows the drinks brought to David from the party were from Greenlee, who was arrested and jailed without bail. THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL Brooke tried to make amends with Stephanie but was rebuffed. Hope came to Stephanie’s birthday party with Liam, who apologized to the Forresters and gave Brooke a personal apology for Bill’s exposure of the paternity of Bridget’s baby. DAYS OF OUR LIVES EJ woke up and referred to Sami as his wife, apparently unable to remember anything beyond the wedding. Lexie urged Sami to play along. Later EJ confided to Stefano that he was faking. In preparation for telling the truth about his paternity, Kate offered Chad an internship at DiMera Enterprises, which he misinterpreted. GENERAL HOSPITAL Brenda recovered from her overdose and agreed to return to Port Charles. Robin escaped from the cabin but fell down an unmarked well, where she had a dream about Stone. Patrick was arrested for Robin’s disappearance.

Colorful Milan Fashion Week Vibrant colors have already proved a key trend at Milan Fashion Week. With Gucci kicking off proceedings, the iconic Italian brand showcased its vibrant spring/ summer 2011 collection based upon “grown up glamour”. Prada followed this trend in its runway show, with a whole host of bright and jewelled colors being a key feature of the collection, which also included a playful, banana print and bold stripes. Elsewhere, Dolce and Gabbana proved the floral trend is set to make a re-emergence next summer, with a number of feminine floral pieces featured. However, it’s not just bright colors that will be popular in the spring/summer 2011 collection - Alberta Ferretti and Luisa Beccaria both
opted for romantic, ethereal-looking pieces, with pretty lace dresses and sheer chiffon tops. Additionally, the Fendi brand showcased a completely different style from the other collections previewed at Milan Fashion Week, opting for a more ‘70s feel.
Ed Westwick’s improving fashion sense Ed Westwick thinks his fashion sense has improved since starring in ‘Gossip Girl’. The British actor - who plays Chuck Bass in the teen drama, admitted he has had to “step up his game” after learning about different looks and styles from various designers and industry experts. He said: “My fashion consciousness and self consciousness have definitely grown over the course of being on the show. All the exposure and all the experience I’ve had of different sides of the industry means I have a better knack of how to put things together. We’ve all been to fashion shows, we’ve worked with designers in different capacities, on fashion shoots. You learn
about different looks and colours. I’ve definitely stepped up my game.” The hunky star explained his favorite look out of the recent shoots he has done would be an English country gentleman style that made him look as though he was “going shooting with Prince Charles”.
Let’s not pretend that dressing Jaime King as a rich clotheshorse is anything but a designer’s dream job. At 5 feet 9 inches and with a killer figure, the model and actress on ABC’s “My Generation,” airing Thursdays, is a knockout. Kicking off 5-inch Stuart Weitzman heels, King says, “It’s interesting because there are so many ideal body types now. It’s really unfortunate that so many women struggle when they are not a size zero. I love when women just love themselves.” Her character, Jackie, is not that enlightened. “My Generation” chronicles nine alumni of the class of 2000 a decade later. Jackie, a failed actress, returns home to Austin, Texas, and marries a wealthy guy. “Jackie’s look is very prim, very conservative,” King says. “She wouldn’t wear a zip-up black mini like I’m rocking right now.” While King describes her style as “Grace Kelly meets street,” she says Jackie “wants to dress for her husband, for her father.” King, as Jackie, is a dream to dress, says Kathleen Kiatta, costume designer. “I can shop for her, and if we haven’t discussed it or had a fitting, I can look at three dresses and know she will work it,” Kiatta says. “Jackie is a bit of a chameleon now and has a bit of an L.A. background, and married to money now, and can get whatever she wants as far as clothing,” Kiatta says. “That gives us a lot of freedom. That she can buy what she wants gives us free range.”

“I wanted to be a neonatal nurse, and I wanted to have a clinic. At 17, I got a modeling gig my mom pushed me to do. I won out of 6,000 girls for JLo’s clothing line. I went for four days to L.A. – four years ago.” –Natalie Martinez of “Detroit 1-8-7” on ABC, on how her career started.
