5 great things to do this week
Electric City’s Best of 2014 Best Bartenders: Brian Craig and Jimmy mcGrath.
#1
Best of 2014 Bash
#2
JukeBox Jam
The electric city and diamond city BEST OF 2014 Readers’ Poll declared the winners — now it’s time to party. Our annual (and legendary) BEST OF party — a throw-down like no other — takes place this Wednesday night, Jan. 28, from 7 to 9 p.m., inside Breakers at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. Attendees must be 21 and older. The public is also welcome to attend the party. In 2014, electric city and diamond city readers flooded the web and cast their ballots at a feverish pace. Voters chose their favorites within nine specific categories: Love and Romance, Eats and Drinks, Goods and Services, Arts and Entertainment, Nightlife, Media, Health and Recreation and Superstars. We also included a short Survey Says category to give you the opportunity to further voice your varied opinions on social issues, local trends, scandals and more. Congrats to all of the BEST OF 2014 winners and we hope to see you at the party! — tg
Inspired by the true story of the time Sun Records pioneer Sam Phillips brought Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley together in Memphis, the jukebox musical Million Dollar Quartet features hits “Blue Suede Shoes,” “That’s All Right,” “Sixteen Tons,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “I Walk the Line,” “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On,” “See Ya Later, Alligator,” “Fever,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Hound Dog” and more. The 90-minute show opened on Broadway in April 2010 and will hit Scranton this weekend via Broadway Theatre League of NEPA and NAC Entertainment. The show plays Friday, Jan 23 and Saturday, Jan. 24 at 8 p.m. with matinee performances Saturday at 2 p.m. and Sunday, Jan. 25 at 1 p.m. Tickets range from $45 to $68. Visit MillionDollarQuartetLive.com for more information or BroadwayInScranton.com for tickets or call (570) 342-7784. — ag

A night of Bill
Bill Withers hasn’t released a new album since 1985 and he hasn’t played a public concert in a very long time. The 76-year-old soul legend is alive and well, and in 2015 he will finally be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. You don’t have to wait until the April 18 induction ceremony to get your fill of Withers. A group of local musicians pay tribute to one of his iconic albums, Live at Carnegie Hall, this Friday, Jan. 23 at 10 p.m. at River Street Jazz Cafe, 667 N. River St., Plains. The lineup of musicians includes Mike Dougherty, Justin Mazer, Jason Stefanski, Bob Scorey, Rahboo Sabb and Nick Driscoll. Tracks featured on the record include “Use Me,” “Ain’t No Sunshine,” “Lean on Me,” “Let Us Love” and the closer “Medley: Harlem / Cold Baloney.” For more information, visit riverstreetjazzcafe.com. — tg

BAd VoyAge
The completely-Russianand-not-at-all-Arabian hero of The Magic Voyage of Sinbad (1953) was renamed Sinbad (from Sadko) when the film was exported to America, because the filmmakers knew American parents would never let their kids go see a movie about, and made by “Rooskies,” explains Christopher “Sampo” Cornell, host of Bad Movie Thursday with MST3K and co-maintainer of the Satellite News web site (mst3kinfo. com). The monthly Mystery Science Theater 3000 film series returns to the Scranton Cultural Center Thursday, Jan. 22 with the colorful, if less than coherent, take of a “sea-faring adventurer who embarks on a quest to find the Bluebird of Happiness, because everybody in his home town is miserable.” Doors open at 6 p.m. with a cocktail hour followed by the film at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10. Visit sccmt.org for more information. — ag

dirty Sexy funny
Jenny McCarthy brings “Dirty Sexy Funny” to the Keystone Grand Ballroom for a notso-typical comedy show on Jan. 24. Showtime is 8 p.m. The show is sold out. Jenny McCarthy was named Playboy’s 1994 Playmate of the Year and hosted MTV’s Singled Out from 1995 to 1997. She hosted her own self-titled talk show and starred in the sitcom Jenny before joining The View as a co-host in 2013. Since departing The View, McCarthy published a new advice book, Stirring the Pot: My Recipe for Getting What You Want Out of Life. She also continues to serve as crowd correspondent for the annual special Dick Clark’s New Years Rockin’ Eve. “Dirty Sexy Funny” highlights the life of a contemporary woman, from single motherhood to casual sex. McCarthy will be joined on stage by an all-female slate of stand-up comedians including Paula Bel, April Macie, Lynne Koplitz and Tammy Pescatelli. For more information, visit mohegansunpocono.com.

t’s run rampant through schools, playgrounds and neighborhood alleys for centuries but child bullying has become a hot topic in recent years as we’ve seen the damage documented in not only bumps and bruises, but teen suicide, depression and substance abuse issues. Turning her lens beyond the kids involved in a playground scrape to their parents, French playwright Yasmina Reza’s Le Dieu du Carnage premiered in Zurich in 2007 before opening in London in March 2008 in translation by Christopher Hampton as God of Carnage. The play would go on to win the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy and the 2009 Tony Award for best play and nominations for Jeff Daniels, Hope Davis and James Gandolfini and a win for Marcia Gay Harden. It premieres regionally next week at The Theater at Lackawanna College in Scranton under the auspices of Gaslight Theatre Company with Brandi George directing. Actors Kimmie Leff and Tim McDermott play Veronica and Michael Novak, the parents of a boy whose teeth are damaged when he is hit in the face by another boy in Cobble Hill Park. The play opens as both sets of parents are working together on a statement for the insurance company. They have “agreed to forego litigation in an attempt to solve the dispute as amicably and civilly as possible,” a release from Gaslight explains of the play’s premise. “I think (Veronica) wants to understand why their son acted the way he did and what
the Raleighs are doing about it,” Leff said of her character whom she described as the initial antagonist. “Once she meets them, it’s pretty clear to her why he does and takes it upon herself to sort of ‘school’ them. She takes ‘it takes a village to raise a child’ very seriously.” The Raleighs are Annette (Lydia Traill) and Alan (Sean McKeown), a cell phone preoccupied corporate lawyer and his money-managing wife. In his 2009 review of God of Carnage in The New York Times, critic Ben Brantley writes about Reza’s gift for taking “smug, upper-middle-class characters and stripping them, with algebraic precision, to their lonely, frightened ids” as espresso evolves into rum and the pretense of friendliness gives way to four-way combat. The most infamous moment of the play comes early on when Annette vomits on-stage all over Veronica’s coffee table art books. “One of Michael’s biggest issues is his complicated relationship with the concept of masculinity. He prides himself on having ‘an ordinary job’

from left: sean mckeown, Lydia Traill, kimmie Leff and Tim mcDermott perform in Gaslight Theatre’s production of in God of Carnage Jan. 28 to feb. 1. as the owner of a domestic hardware wholesale company, but his idea of masculinity is challenged at every turn,” McDermott offered. “His wife, Veronica, seems to wear the pants in the relationship, taking full advantage of Michael’s inability to take a stand for himself. I think at heart, Michael is a good guy who genuinely wants to avoid conflict — but unfortunately, this trait becomes more of a flaw as the story progresses.” “It’s great the way alliances keep changing and which character or couple you are kind of siding with, which character is sort of the antagonist keeps changing and how quickly thing fall apart,” said Leff. I love how (Reza) looks at conflict and how people respond to it. I love how much punch she packs into this play.” “The writing is incredible. The jabs hurt, the jokes land and the pain and personal neuroses bubble to the surface in the most subtle ways,” added McDermott, who explained the greatest challenge of Carnage has been getting into the mindset of a father. “I don’t have children, nor do I have a mustache, so it’s been an interesting challenge to try to channel my fatherly side.” For Leff, the greatest challenge of working on Carnage has been not laughing. “I was getting good at not laughing and reacting to my castmates’ line deliveries or facial expressions, but now that we are off script and really getting into it, I’m back to square one. Thankfully, I have two weeks to get it under control.” “I don’t think we’ve gotten through a single rehearsal without cracking up,” McDermott agreed. “These are seriously some of the funniest and most talented actors I’ve ever worked with and they make me push myself harder to try to get anywhere near their level.” “My favorite line is Alan Raleigh’s ‘Oh you can see the F train from here. That’s great.’ It’s right as the Raleighs are trying to leave initially and the way Sean delivers it just cracks me up. It just shows how checked out he is,” Leff said.
Comparing God of Carnage to John Patrick Shanley’s 2004 play drama Doubt — in which she and McDermott shared the stage in Actors Circle’s production last spring as Sister James and Father Flynn, respectively — the actress noted how the small cast size allows the audience for a greater opportunity to get to know each character while the one-act time constraint requires a focused efficiency of story telling. A 2011 film adaptation titled only Carnage was directed by Roman Polanski and starred Jodie Foster, John C. Reilly, Christoph Waltz and Kate Winslet. It received mixed reviews and is currently available for purchase, but not rental screening, via mainstream digital sources. Reza fans may also want to catch Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble’s production of the playwright’s comedy Art opening Thursday, Jan. 22 at the Alvina Krause Theatre and starring long-time ensemble members James Goode, Andrew Hubatsek and Daniel Roth under the direction of Richard Cannaday. It runs only two weeks through Feb. 1 with performances Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. Tickets range from $14 to $26.

SOUNDS
STILL (INDIE) ROCKIN’
PRIMUS — Primus and the Chocolate Factory with the Fungi Ensemble THE GOOD: American indie rock trio Primus does the unimaginable on their eighth. THE BAD: Is Chocolate Factory wickedly brilliant or an indulgent experiment? THE NITTY GRITTY: Frontman, bassist and Primus mastermind Les Claypool and his crew takes every song from the 1971 film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and gives them the royal Prawn Song treatment. I guess if any band HAD to do this, Primus is that band; these guys always walking a fine line between high intelligence and the somewhat low-brow. Now they’re taking warm and fuzzy pieces of your childhood like “Pure Imagination,” “Golden Ticket” and all four “Oompa Loompa” chants and turning them into “Pork Soda” and “John the Fisherman.” And the end results aren’t awkward like one might expect. Strange? Creepy? Disturbing? Yes, but never embarrassing. Still, it’s tough to look at this collection as anything but a cool little novelty. BUY IT?: Your call. Chocolate Factory is sweet but it’s hardly Primus’ finest hour.
safe. Seeds retains that unique mix of indie, the electronic and soul we’ve come to expect. And there’s always an underlying sense of doom around the next bend. “Quartz” buzzes and screeches. “Happy Idiot” is catchy yet jittery. The title cut is more soothing but hails from a seemingly dark place. BUY IT?: Surely.
SMASHING PUMPKINS — Monuments to an Elegy THE GOOD: Smashing Pumpkins return with their ninth album, supposedly the second in the Teargarden trilogy. THE BAD: You either think Billy Corgan is a genius or a bit loopy; no middle ground there. Elegy is good, but it won’t win over past detractors. THE NITTY GRITTY: Corgan IS Smashing Pumpkins these days; the band comprised of whoever feels like playing with him (or vice versa) at any given moment. On Elegy, that would include guitarist Jeff Schroeder (who has managed to stick around since 2007) and Motley Crue’s Tommy Lee playing ALL drum parts. Elegy’s biggest strength is its brevity. Clocking in at just over 32 minutes, there’s no fat. Corgan has never made a Pumpkins record so devoid of prog rock tendencies or heavy concepts. We get nine melodic succinct guitar-driven rock songs. TV ON THE RADIO — Seeds Tunes like “Tiberius” and “Run2Me” are powerful THE GOOD: Brooklyn-based indie rockers without being angry, accomplished without being TVOTR regroup, survive and give us a glorious pretentious. Corgan hasn’t written anything this fifth. unassuming since the one-off Zwan record back THE BAD: Nope. in 2003. THE NITTY GRITTY: After losing bassist Gerard BUY IT?: Actually … why not? Smith to lung cancer in 2011, the tightly-knit band did some soul searching, switched record labels and changed focus. Seeds is the end result of all Mike Evans that strife and change. Mike Evans is a super cool First, it’s their most personal work to date; radio guy who doesn’t mess around when it comes to politics dialed way down within the lyrics while music.

BRICK + MORTAR IS BACK DUO SET TO pLAy FUzz 92.1 pRIvATE ARTIST ShOwCASE Brick + Mortar is coming back to the area after a memorable set at last year’s Fuzzfest at The Pavilion at Montage Mountain. The band makes a stop in the 570 to perform at The Fuzz 92.1 Private Artist Showcase at the Fuzz 92.1 Radio Theater, 5th floor of the Times-Tribune Building, 149 Penn Ave., Scranton on Friday, Jan. 23, at 7 p.m. The show is all ages. Sign up for free tickets at fuzz921.com or by texting BRICK to 88474. Tickets are first-come, first-served. “Brick + Mortar was a band that immediately endeared themselves to the crowd this past summer at Fuzzfest,” said Tom Ferguson, program director at Fuzz 92.1. “They were interactive, energetic and very gracious with their time onstage, plus, they put on a pretty great show. Fans came away impressed with the band and talked a lot to us about trying to get them back in town, so it only seemed logical to bring in Brick + Mortar to play the Fuzz Radio Theater. We’re so excited to keep building the hype and story of this band.” Hailing from Asbury Park, New Jersey, the electro-rock duo got their start playing coffeehouses when vocalist/guitarist Brandon Asraf and drummer John Tacon were still in high school. Throughout their teen years and into their 20s, the duo molded
26 J a n u a r y 2 2 , 2 0 1 5 TS_CNG/EC_DC/PAGES [E26] | 01/21/15
their sound and songwriting. The members shared their love for hardcore rap acts Wu-Tang Clan and electronic-based music. Some lyrics even focus on Asraf’s real-life experiences with his diamondsmuggling father. After coming up with their first batch of songs, Brick + Mortar self-released their debut EP, 7 Years in the Mystic Room, in 2010. “The first EP was kind of an experiment to see if we had anything,” Asraf said in a recent release. “At the time I was 25 and sharing a sectional couch with my brother and had no idea what was going to happen, but then we ended up getting a good response.” As Brick + Mortar continued building their reputation as a fantastic live act at legendary local venues like the Stone Pony, the band was selected for “Making Moves,” a seven-inch series highlighting emerging artists. Soon after, Brick + Mortar signed with Photo Finish Records (part of the Island Def Jam Music Group), then put out their sophomore EP Bangs in early autumn 2013. Their debut full length album, Social Studies, was released last summer. “I always try to reveal a lot about myself in our songs, either by making a story out of the things in
e le c tric c ity / d ia m o n d c ity 15:43 | GRAHAMTOM
my head or just writing about things that have actually happened in my life,” Asraf said. As the friendless new kid in his eighth-grade class, Asraf attended the school talent show and was blown away by a classmate’s drum performance that included an epic solo. “I remember playing my drum solo and everyone in the school just freaking out,” Tacon said. “I had a hard time growing up, and playing drums was kind of my outlet for everything, so that moment really solidified that making music was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.” Friends from that day on, the two started playing music together soon after Tacon encouraged Asraf to buy a bass guitar. In high school they picked up gigs at a local coffeehouse, naming themselves Black Rhythm and then later changing their name to Brick + Mortar, the duo eventually started writing melody-driven songs that mined their own restless creativity instead of leaning on influence. “I never even listened to music before I met Tacon,” Asraf said. “No one in my family was into music so I didn’t know anything about it at all — I listened to, like, TLC. In the beginning we were just messing around, but then we realized that combining Tacon’s drumming and live beats made this
amazing sound,” Asraf said. With gigs opening for artists such as Jimmy Eat World to Imagine Dragons under their belt, playing live is more essential than ever to the Brick + Mortar experience. “We’re very passionate about everything that goes into our music, and I think that really shines through in our live show,” says Tacon. “We want everyone in the crowd to know that we’re there to make them a part of what we’re doing.” “We try to keep our songs really intimate — I want people to feel like they’re talking to me when they listen to us,” says Asraf. “I think when you’re writing and you get to a point where you’re nervous because you feel like you’re revealing too much about yourself, that’s when you’ve got something good.” — tg BRICK + MORTAR at the Fuzz 92.1 private Artist Showcase Where: Fuzz 92.1 Radio Theater, 5th floor of the Times-Tribune Building, 149 Penn Ave., Scranton When: Friday, Jan. 23, at 7 p.m. Info: The show is all ages.

Dead concert, which took place at the same venue. “Fare Thee Well: Celebrating 50 Years of Grateful Dead” takes place over three nights — July 3, 4 and 5, 2015 — and marks the original members’ last-ever performance together. The band will be joined by Trey Anastasio (Guitar), Jeff Chimenti (Keyboards) and Bruce Hornsby (Piano) and will perform two sets of music each night. In the tradition of the original Grateful Dead Ticketing Service (gdtstoo.com), tickets are now available via a mail order system, followed by an online pre-sale through Dead Online Ticketing Feb. 12 and will be available online to the general public on Feb. 14 via Ticketmaster. There will be a general admission pit directly in front of the stage ($99.50). Reserved tickets range from $59.50-$199.50. The Grateful Dead are considered one of the most important bands of the psychedelic era and among the most groundbreaking acts in rock and roll history. The 1995 death of band leader Jerry Garcia abruptly put an end to the Grateful Dead, though various members subsequently regrouped as the Other Ones, The Dead and Furthur. Here’s what’s in my headphones this week: Ben Howard I Forget Where We Were (Republic) 2014.

OPENING THIS WEEK
The Boy Next Door Jennier Lopez, Ryan Guzman In this R-rated thriller, a divorcee (Lopez) falls for a younger man (Guzman) who just moved in across the street, though their torrid affair takes an obsessive, dangerous turn. The Plus: The genre. Someway somehow, even despite poor reviews, some sexy thrillers end up at the top of the box office. For proof, just look to 1992’s Basic Instinct, 1999’s Cruel Intentions, 2009’s Obsessed and 2014’s No Good Deed. Here, The Fast & the Furious and xXx director Rob Cohen wrangles Lopez (Parker), Guzman (Step Up All In), Kristen Chenoweth (Frozen) and John Corbett (NBC’s Parenthood). The Minus: The scheduling. There’s a reason why January consistently earns a reputation as H’Wood’s dumping grounds. Also, the Ice Age series aside, Lopez hasn’t had a hit since 2002’s Maid in Manhattan. For proof, just look to 2003’s Gigli, 2004’s Jersey Girl, 2004’s Shall We Dance, 2005’s Monster-In-Law, 2006’s Bordertown and 2010’s The Back-up Plan … or better yet, don’t.

Mortdecai Johnny Depp, Gwenyth Paltrow In this R-rated comedy, art dealer Charles Mortdecai (Depp) searches for a stolen painting that’s reportedly linked to a lost bank account filled with Nazi gold. The Plus: The players. After the back-to-back-to-back blockbuster success of the first three Pirates of Caribbean flicks, Johnny Depp became the biggest movie star in the world. Here, David Koepp (Premium Rush) directs a cast that includes him (Rum Diary), Paltrow (Iron Man 3), Ewan McGregor (August Osage County), Olivia Munn (HBO’s Newsroom), Paul Bettany (Transcendence) and Jeff Goldblum (The Grand Budapest Hotel), (screenwriter, The Break-Up). The Minus: The competition. One weekend, two new movies, an already crowded box office brimming with awards contenders. Even though this flick aims squarely for the adult demographic, it faces a lot of other contenders this weekend. Also, Depp has run hot (Dark Shadows) and cold (The Lone Ranger) at the box office since the last Pirates flick sailed, 2011’s On Stranger Tides.
Selma David Oyelowo, Carmen Ejogo HHHH1/2 — Civil Righteous An electrifying presentation of real events that never feels like a history lesson, Selma’s authenticity and timeliness make for a rousing spectacle that never feels like an epic. Ava DuVernay’s PG-13-rated drama chronicles Martin Luther King’s (Oyelowo) campaign to secure equal voting rights via an epic march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama in 1965. The director puts you wholly in the moment, never letting style (and the film boasts a great deal) get in the way of passing down an imperative piece of our country’s narrative. Even with so much attention to period detail and historic figures, Selma speaks so truthfully in the present tense not just because current events eerily reflect the story to a startling degree but because screenwriter Paul Webb’s multidimensional characterization of all involved articulates the still-ongoing struggle for equality. As realized by David Oyelowo in a brilliantly layered performance wrongly denied an Oscar nomination, Martin Luther King has never been represented on screen so letter perfectly. In fact, everybody from Carmen Ejogo, who looks like news footage of Coretta Scott King come to life to Tim Roth’s on-the-racist-nose portrayal of George Wallace rings completely true … except for Tom Wilkinson as President Lyndon Johnson. Why DuVernay would go to extreme lengths to flawlessly present the events leading up to the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and NOT have the actor nail down LBJ’s distinctive Texas drawl is beyond comprehension. Still, this mostly British contingent (DuVernay, Oyelowo and Wilkson hail from the UK) gets it damn right. Just like with the production team behind 12 Years a Slave (also mostly British), sometimes it takes an outsider to hold up a proper mirror to our society. Regardless, you don’t have to be American for this tale to resonate and echo in your heart and mind … and it does.

The Gambler (2014) Mark Wahlberg, Jessica Lange HH1/2 — Booger Nights Slickly directed, well acted, but ultimately lacking the dramatic punch it needs to sell through the story, The Gambler just about breaks even instead of completely going bust. In this R-rated remake from director Rupert Wyatt (Rise of the Planet of the Apes), lit professor and gambler Jim Bennett’s debt causes him to borrow money from his mother and a loan shark while a relationship with one of his students (Brie Larson) further complicates his situation. It tries operating as a cautionary tale on two fronts — gambling away one’s money and gambling away one’s soul — but succeeds more in dealing with the former. Though Mark Wahlberg proves utterly convincing as a charming, albeit degenerate, gambler, he doesn’t make tenure as a troubled associate professor. Oh, he lectures on Shakespeare and Camus to a believable degree but the existential crisis plaguing his character never gets fully explained. The characterization (add troubled rich heir to one of California’s largest fortunes into the confusing mix) comes up short. Even when some gangbuster action and intrigue keep the story moving at an even clip, the pace grinds to a halt thanks to long rambling suicidal bents that ultimately go nowhere. The blame falls on The Departed scribe William Monahan, who creates an interesting character he doesn’t fully know what to do with. Overwritten and overly complex, his character study needs Cliff’s Notes. Yes, he stakes his own life as collateral … but why? Filmgoers don’t need to know the full story — just enough to stay invested. The Gambler boasts some beautiful photography and some very quotable dialogue but ultimately doesn’t come close to earning a spot at the 1974 originals table. American Sniper Bradley Cooper, Sienna Miller HHHH — American Bustle Taking aim at realizing it’s real-life subject to a harrowingly true degree, Clint Eastwood’s straightshooting bio-pic presents powerful storytelling and hero worship in equal measure thanks to a compelling central figure. In this R-rated true story, the legendary director recounts Navy S.E.A.L. Chris Kyle’s (Cooper) military career, which includes more than 150 confirmed kills. Sure, the film unapologetically waves a patriotic flag (in the hands of a more left-leaning director, American Sniper might have emerged as a “tsk tsk” cautionary tale), but Jason Hall’s script deftly puts forth the book’s War is Hell moments. Yes, there’s a sobering emotional toll and high body count, but the titular character sometimes comes across as selfish for signing up for more tours of duty while his family waits for him on the homefront. Ultimately, however, Eastwood’s film smartly romanticizes nationalism as much as Kyle, which might divide some viewers. Still, he takes a stand rather than beat around an objective bush. Since Bradley Cooper acquired the rights to Kyle’s autobiography in 2012, this real-life actioner proved a hot property around H’Wood, attracting interest from A-List directors David O. Russell (The Fighter) and Steven Spielberg (Lincoln) before thankfully landing in Eastwood’s (Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby) very capable hands. In terms of Oscar caliber quality, Eastwood’s recent CV doesn’t necessarily inspire confidence (Hereafter, J. Edgar, Jersey Boys), but American Sniper ends up to be one of his best projects to date. His films rarely indulge stylish bells and whistles, which serves the frank forward material exceedingly well. Then, there’s his lead actor. Not only did his star’s voice star in the biggest box office hit of last year (Guardians of the Galaxy), but he also helped to headline back-to-back Best Picture Oscar nominees (Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle). Here, however, he unquestionably deserves the award. Beefing up physically while maintaining Kyle’s straight-talking, humble, dyed-inthe-wool Texas manner, Cooper transforms fully into the troubled heart and soul of this gripping story.
SMALL SCREENS The Gambler (1974) James Caan, Paul Sorvino HHHH — Time Enough for Counting Instead of slogging through Rupert Wyatt’s flawed remake, stick to the much better 1974 original. In this R-rated drama available for download, literature professor Alex Freed (Caan) borrows from his girlfriend, his mother and some bad men to quench his gambling addition. James Caan’s ace performance gets credit for carrying this often forgotten ’70s gem but James Toback’s sharply written script ultimately deserves the true credit. Tense beyond belief, the film ratchets up the drama to a fever pitch and provides a much more nuanced and textured character study than what follows 40 years later.

How did you get your start as a master coach of neurolinguistic programming and personal and professional development coach? I was a therapist in children’s behavioral health for seven years and I realized I needed a change in life, so I ended up calling a friend of mine who recommended that I look into coaching. She and I had a conversation. She said, “You’d be a phenomenal coach. You should check it out.” So, it took a little while to resonate with me and, one day, I finally just called her up and said, “We need to have a talk and I want you to tell me about this program.” She told me all about it, I started researching it and I went through the training for neurolinguistic programming and a process called timeline therapy and then hypnotherapy. I went through the training to become certified in those areas and then I started my own coaching business. Hypnotherapy brings to mind spinning circles and men with greasy facial hair drawling, “You are getting very sleeeepy,” but it’s actually used

It’s just the process of putting yourself in a deeply relaxed state and then the hypnotherapist diving you down and making positive suggestions so that you, the client, can accept them and integrate that into your life.

Do you have a New Year’s resolution? I do and my New Year’s resolution this year was that this was the year I said that I was going to catapult my business to the level that I know I can operate at.

For those who don’t have a clear idea what coaching means, is it a session or is it like an AA sponsor that you call? How does it work? A lot of what coaching is could be equated with therapy, but it’s done in a different way. It’s done with more of a holistic approach to it and utilizing that person’s resources and focusing on solutions, rather than the problem.

I don’t talk about exactly what it is only for confidentiality purposes, but just seeing his eyes light up and seeing the change in physiology — now, there’s color in his skin and that brand new realization, “I didn’t think of that before.” That’s what coaching really is. It’s learning to see outside of the box and learning to consider things that weren’t considered before. The coach doesn’t give advice and say, “well, you need to do this.” It’s more like an experience for both people. It’s more a “do with” process; it’s not a “do to” process. We ended up cutting our Skype session short, because he said, “Rich, I don’t want to be rude, but I really need to get moving on this and because you have just told me this things that I hadn’t considered, now I have to go write this training program.” It’s something really cool and

Soaking up the SudS with JameS Crane
I’ve discussed my complicated relationship with Belgian brews before. Many beer people put them at the top of the alcoholic pyramid. While I do not in any way dislike them, I think they are largely overrated. The yeasts used generally impart certain characteristics on them that, while unique and tasty, are not particularly better than those you’d find in an IPA or Lager. Its a good style, but it is far from the only quality style out there. There is also this kind of trend in the past few years to “Belgianize” a brew. I’ve seen a good few breweries do it. They take one of their regular beers but use a Belgian yeast and a few other additives to change its flavor profile. IPAs are a popular style to experiment with in this fashion. This has resulted in mixed results for me. Some I’ve tried are unique expressions of a style, full of subtleties and flavors not found in either of their parents. Others are gimmicky and different solely for the sake of being different. They are new and different in the way that a child pouring all the sodas in a soda fountain into a single cup is new and different. There is no main idea, no coherency. There is just a bunch of stuff in a bottle. With this in mind, this week I grabbed a bottle of Victory Brewing’s Wild Devil. Its based off one of their more popular brews, Hop Devil, which is known for its blend of malt, spice, and lots and lots of hops. Wild Devil promised much the same, but with the added tang and funk of Belgian style brews. Victory has
certainly churned out some great Belgians in the past (Golden Monkey, I’m looking at you). Could they do it with one of their hoppiest brews? There was only one way to find out. The pour was absolutely beautiful. The beer was a gorgeous amber golden color topped with two fingers worth of creamy head that left all sorts of lacing down the side of the glass. Just looking at it made me quite excited. The scent was rather pleasing as well. It was sweet and malty with notes of citrus and spice. It was like ripe bananas and biscuits, imbued with a slight tang and sourness. By all outward appearances, this was going to be a great beer. With such a great introduction, it was that much worse when the taste didn’t match up to expectations. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t bad. It just was nowhere near as good as it looked or smelled. It seemed conflicted, like it didn’t know quite what it wanted to be. Up front was some malty sweetness and funk. It was quickly washed away in the bitter hop bite at the end. There were numerous subtle nuances in the beer, such as its slight grassy taste and citrus flavors, but none were allowed to shine for too long before being punched in the gut by its salty hops. Wild Devil left me wanting a sweet, biscuity malty backbone that was strong enough to stand up to its bitter end whilst simultaneously carrying all those subtle undercurrents I previously mentioned. It did not have that. All in all, it was an okay beer, though it had the possibility of being great. Some more caramel malt to even it out, and I feel that it would have been outstanding. I still have nothing but love for Victory Brewing and all the great things they do. This just wasn’t their best offering.

For this “Greater-Than Sudoku,” I’m not giving you ANY numbers to start off with! Adjoining squares in the grid’s 3x3 boxes have a greater-than sign (>) telling you which of the two numbers in those squares is larger. Fill in every square with a number from 1–9 using the greater-than signs as a guide. When you’re done, as in a normal Sudoku, every row, column and 3x3 box will contain the numbers 1–9 exactly one time. (Solving hint: try to look for the 1’s and 9’s in each box first, then move on to the 2’s and 8’s and so on).

Psychologically soUnd straight talk from syndicated colUmnist amy alkon demotion sickness My boyfriend just broke up with me but wants to “stay friends” and keep hanging out on those terms. (He says, “My life is much better with you in it.”) I’d like to be friends eventually, but I told him that it’s just too painful and confusing to see him now. He says I’m being dramatic and unreasonable and keeps calling. — Broken This guy’s notion of how a breakup should work is like telling an employee, “Hey, you’re fired, but please feel free to come in a few times a week and do some light janitorial work.” A breakup is supposed to be an ending, not a “let’s continue as if very little has changed, and I’ll pretend not to notice those big wet mascara stripes down your cheeks.” Research by clinical psychologist David Sbarra confirmed what most of us already know about getting dumped — that contact with your former partner while you’re trying to recover jacks up feelings of love and sadness, setting back your healing. You need time and distance to process and accept the change in your relationship; you can’t just send a memo to your emotions, ordering them to recategorize the guy: “Cut the love. From now on, respond to him like he’s a brick or maybe a lamp.” It’s wonderful to have a man who insists on standing by you, but not because it’s better for him than respecting your need to go away and lick your wounds. This is not friend behavior. If, despite that, you want him in your life down the road, inform him that for now, you’ve made a “no contact” rule — lasting until you feel ready to see him on different terms. When he (inevitably) tries to break it, politely reiterate it and end the conversation. The sooner he’s out of your daily life the sooner you’ll be open to a new man — dreamy as it would be to spend lazy afternoons at your ex’s place writing him letters of recommendation for prospective girlfriends and Photoshopping your arm out of pictures so he can post them on Tinder. Urning cUrve My boyfriend of eight months was with his ex for almost five years. Unfortunately, she passed two years ago. I have sympathy for him, but occasionally he’ll call me by her name, and it’s really upsetting. I feel like she’s haunting his brain, and I don’t know how to do an exorcism. How do I take my rightful place in his life? — Can’t Compete
If you’re putting on some skimpy somethings to get your boyfriend in the right mindset in bed, ideally, they aren’t three strategically located “Hello, My Name Is …” stickers. It’s understandable that you’re feeling bad, but his detours into Wrongnameville probably don’t mean what you suspect they do. Using the wrong name is what memory researchers call a “retrieval error,” describing how an attempt to get some specific item from memory can cause multiple items in the same category to pop up. Basically, your brain sends an elf back into the stacks to get the name to call someone, and he just grabs the first name he spots that’s associated with “girlfriend” and girlfriend-type situations. (Lazy little twerp.) This sort of cognitive error — following a well-worn path (five years of grabbing the late ex’s name) — is more likely when a person is tired or preoccupied. In other words, your boyfriend’s name-swapping may be a sign that he needs to stop multitasking; it doesn’t necessarily mean he’s been taping a cutout of her face over yours in his mind. There is a solution, and no, it doesn’t involve inventing a time machine so he can go back 20 years and get in the habit of calling all women “babe.” It turns out that a person can get better at retrieving the right name with practice. Cognitive psychologist Gordon Bower explained in Scientific American that the one making the error needs to consistently correct themselves or be corrected and then repeat the right name a few times. It would be best if you correct him teasingly, and perhaps incorporate visual aids like homemade flashcards — ideally of you in various states of undress with your name on them. Assuming he isn’t trudging around in all black like a Fellini film widow or putting the ex’s urn between you two in bed, it might help to consider how he is when he’s with you: Engaged? Loving? Present? If so, do your best to focus on this — lest you be tempted to go low-blow and tit for tat and start screaming out dead men’s names in bed: “Ooh, Copernicus … Oh, my God, Cicero … I mean, take me, Archimedes!”

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Is there a patron saint of advertising or a goddess of marketing or a power animal that rules publicity and promotion? If so, I’m going to find out, then pray to them in your behalf. It’s high time for your underappreciated talents and unsung accomplishments to receive more attention. And I am convinced that the astrological moment is ripe for just such a development. Help me out here, Aries. What can you do to get your message out better? What tricks do you have for attracting the interest of those who don’t know yet about your wonders? Polish up your self-presentation, please. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): During his 67 years of life, Taurus-born Leonardo da Vinci achieved excellence in 12 different fields, from painting to engineering to anatomy. Today he is regarded as among the most brilliant humans who ever lived. “His genius was so rare and universal that it can be said that nature worked a miracle on his behalf,” said one observer. “He towered above all other artists through the strength and the nobility of his talents,” said another. Yet on his death bed, Leonardo confessed, “I have offended God and mankind because my work did not reach the quality it should have.” Typical for a Taurus, he underestimated himself! It’s very important that you not do the same, especially in the coming weeks. The time has come for you to give yourself more of the credit and respect you deserve. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Where you have been and what you have done will be of little importance in the coming weeks. Both your mistakes and your triumphs will be irrelevant. In my estimation, you have a sacred duty to spy on the future and reconnoiter the pleasures and challenges that lie ahead. So I suggest you head off toward the frontier with an innocent gleam in your eye and a cheerful hunger for interesting surprises. How’s your Wildness Quotient? If it’s in a slump, pump it up.
lounging in bed or hanging out with his buddies. In the coming weeks, Sagittarius, I recommend you consider strategies like his. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Each hour of every day, the sun offers us more energy than oil, gas, and coal can provide in an entire year. Sadly, much of our star’s generous gift goes to waste. Our civilization isn’t set up to take advantage of the bounty. Is there a comparable dynamic in your personal life, Capricorn? Are you missing out on a flow of raw power and blessings simply because you are ignorant of it or haven’t made the necessary arrangements to gather it? If so, now would be an excellent time to change your ways. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): According to my analysis of the long-term astrological omens, 2015 is the year you can get totally serious about doing what you were born to do. You will be given the chance to slough off all that’s fake and irrelevant and delusory. You will be invited to fully embrace the central purpose of your destiny. If you’re interested in taking up that challenge, I suggest you adopt Oscar Wilde’s motto: “Nothing is serious except passion.” Your primary duty is to associate primarily with people and places and situations that feed your deepest longings. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Give up all hope for a better past,” writes Emily Fragos in her poem “Art Brut.” That’s generally sound advice. But I think you may be able to find an exception to its truth in the coming weeks. As you work to forgive those who have trespassed against you, and as you revise your interpretations of bygone events, and as you untie knots that have weighed you down and slowed you up for a long time, you just may be able to create a better past. Dare to believe that you can transform the shape and feel of your memories.
