Do Your New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Resolutions Include Craft Beer? by Mark Tichenor Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the most tedious time of the year. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all made your resolutions, most of which undoubtedly involve excising from daily life everything that brings joy, comfort, or a sense of well-being. For a great many of you, this means pledging to give up craft beer. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some good news: your resolve, while admirable, may be a tad misplaced. If you edit your resolutions a bit to include exercise, moderation, and general dietary good sense, it shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a problem to keep enjoying real beer, not those â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;lightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or weird laboratory-engineered carbreduced liquids. (A quick disclaimer. Yes, I realize this is not true for everybody and some people have serious medical or addictive issues that need to be more acutely dealt with. None of this is meant as medical advice.) We think of our virtues and our vices as absolutes, and come up with crazy notions of abandoning all food except kale, all drink except water, and all fun in favor of Crossfit. After three days of starving, puking, and being sober enough to get pissed off about it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back on the couch with a bowl of tortilla chips and a queso I.V. In short, blaming your pleasures, and shaming yourself for them, is not the way to effect the positive change you want in your life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think having a healthy lifestyle means it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include beerâ&#x20AC;? says Jayda Cooke, a Diatetic Intern at Keene State College in New Hampshire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an unnecessary source of calories, but everyone has around 250 calories a day that you could do whatever you want with.â&#x20AC;? Cooke cautions that this assumes you are sticking to a healthy eating plan that includes lots of fruits and vegetables, and limits the amount of processed foods you put in your body. She also explains the importance of moderation, defined as one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for the male of the species.
â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘
January 7 - January 21, 2015 FREETIME Unsurprisingly, exercise helps too. In fact many endurance athletes view a good beer as the treat at the end of their workout, but it’s important to know the amount of calories you’re expending as well as taking in. “I train with a heart rate monitor, so I have an accurate count of how many calories I burn,” says Alex Tong, a masochistic psycho Iron Man Triathalete and ultramarathon runner. “In an hour of biking, I might burn 640 calories, so the first couple of beers are guilt-free. If you cut out all the things you enjoy in life ,
yo u ’ re going to be one miserable bastard.” It’s also important to realize that, while the standard massmarket beer has around 150 calories in a 12 ounce bottle, many craft beers pack in far more than that. High-gravity, high-alcohol beer styles, like barleywines or Double IPAs tend to pack the calories in. The same size bottle of Bell’s Two-Hearted Double IPA contains 210 of them, and a 12 ounce bottle of Great Lakes Lake
Erie Monster Ale comes in at a whopping 321 calories, which means a lot more time on that damn elliptical trainer thing is necessary to make up the difference. Conversely, some craft beers can offer a ton of f lavor with fewer calories than you’d think. Look toward stouts and porters (not those labeled “Imperial” though) with sub 5.5% abv content for satisfaction without crushing your daily calorie plan. Sly Fox O’Reilly’s stout, a thick brew brimming with complex flavor, comes in at a mere 108 estimated calories per 12 ounces . B y comparison, A standard bottle of “light” beer has about 110 calories. So do your research at the bar. Whip out that schmancy smartphone and google the amout of calories in the beer you’re about to select in order to keep a sensible tally of a pleasure that doesn’t have to be guilty unless you want it to be. Life, hopef u l l y, i s l o n g enough for small changes in rout i n e to d e l i ve r big results in the long run. Maybe, if we spent more time being happier with our long term achievements instead of expecting to get there in 90 days, we’d live happier lives, with better self images along the way. And it’s been my experience that few things improve the quality of one’s day like a fine craft beer. Mark owns a laptop and likes beer.

16 FREETIME January 7 - January 21, 2015
THE THE TOP TOP FILMS FILMS OF OF 2014 2014
By Ed Symkus
I’m happy to report that 2014 was a year with lots of great movies, a large number of pretty darn good ones, and just a few stinkers (the only one I wished I had skipped was the execrable Under the Skin). So it was tough to narrow the approximately 160 films I saw down to a mere Top 10. In fact, I couldn’t do it. So here, alphabetically, is my Top 15.
AMERICAN SNIPER
Clint Eastwood’s newest go at directing is one of his best in years. Based on the true story of Nav y SEAL sharpshooter Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper in a superb performance), who was the best at what he did on the battlegrounds of Iraq, it’s an exploration of what it means to be a hero, and the tremendous cost that comes with it. A real nail biter, and a great (non-political!) war film.
BIRDMAN
A former action movie actor with a successful franchise on
his résumé (Michael Keaton) is floundering, and in need of a career revival. He decides to do it on the Broadway stage, even though his fans still want him to get back to the superhero of the film’s title. This study of the guy trying to regain his dignity is sharply written, magnificently acted (just give the Oscar to Keaton), extremely serious, and darkly funny. Some of the best camera work of the year.
BOYHOOD
Richard Linklater filmed the same actors, who kept coming back for a brief annual shoot,
•••••••••••••••••••••
over a period of 12 ye a r s , in this sprawling drama. We get to see little Ellar Coltrane grow up to be a young man. But beyond that device is the ter rific stories of the people around him, especially the ones of his mom (Patricia Arquette) who has nothing but trouble in finding love, and of his dad (Ethan Hawke), a ne’erdo-well guy who keeps trying to do the right thing. A beautiful movie.
DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES
Its predecessor, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, was an excellent prequel to the series of Apes films from the ’60s and ’70s. Dawn is as good a sequel to Rise as Aliens and Terminator 2 were to Alien and The Terminator. With most of the human race wiped out in a plague, apes are crea ting an id yllic and peaceful life in t h e f or ests. Until, tha t is, some human sur vivors get in the way. A triumph in motioncapture acting by Andy Serkis
www.FREETIME.com •
and from the movie wizards who made it happen.
THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL
Who knew that Ralph Fiennes could be so funny? I mean, he’s Voldemort! But in Wes Anderson’s sweet and daffy homage to the old-fashioned holiday resorts of Europe, and that whole way of life, he plays a popular and resourceful concierge who becomes a mentor to a lobby boyin-training, and gets involved in finding out the true ownership of a supposedly priceless painting. Slapstick galore, some stunningly original characters, a great color palette, and lots of yummy pastries.
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY
Now this is what an outer space epic should be! Visual effects are state of the art and beyond; the scope of the story is breathtakingly immeasurable; it’s easy to tell the difference between the heroes and the villains (though sometimes it seems that the main hero is in it only for himself); and the act of saving the universe has never before been such a big ball of fun.
THE IMITATION GAME
The true story of British mathematician Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch) who, along with a brainy team working for the government, broke the code of the infamous German Enigma machine, thereby shor tening WWII by a couple of years. The film plays out like a ticking-clock myster y, and has remarkable performances by Cumberbatch, Keira Knightley (a woman, working with men in the’40s!), and their boss Charles Dance.
INHERENT VICE
If you have a taste for the films of Paul Thomas Anderson (think Boogie Nights and Magnolia) and for film noir set in Los Angeles, and if you get what Joaquin Phoenix is all about, this is one
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
January 7 - January 21, 2015 FREETIME for you to see. It’s a private eye mystery about drugs and dollars and dames, one that goes off in about as many tangents as you can imagine. Set in 1970, it has a cop (Josh Brolin) who hates hippies (Phoenix is a kind of hippie P.I.) and a swirling set of characters and stories, all of which are fun, some of which actually make sense.
THE LEGO MOVIE
Inspired insanity as far as the storyline (an unassuming Everyman must save the world), and a groundbreaker in imaginative visual effects (all CGI, not stopmotion). It’s also the funniest movie of the year, with jokes and visuals that will delight the youngest of audiences, and pop culture references that will make adult viewers actually guffaw. Best cameos: Michelangelo the artist and Michelangelo the Ninja Turtle.
NIGHTCRAWLER
The title is a slang term for videographers who roam the nighttime streets looking for the most graphic stories to sell to early morning T V news producers. Jake Gyllenhaal plays a soulless fellow who reads a lot of self-help books, gets a camera and a police scanner, then lets everything go way out of control. This one just might make you gasp ... a few times.
ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE
Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston are old, but young-looking, vampires who have become sophisticated in their immortal ways, drinking special blood from cr ystal glassware rather than hunting down victims. Trouble comes to town with the arrival of
17
her young, wild sister (Mia Wasi kowsk a), w h o quickly and bloodily messes up their perfect situation. Moody and accessible filmmaking f rom Jim Jarmusch.
THE RAID 2
The Indonesianmade sequel to the 2011 original, both by Welsh writer-director Gareth Evans was the most violent, action-packed film of the year, yet remained remarkably entertain-
ing all the way through. Never mind the good cops and bad cops, and father-son relationships within crime families. The thing to apprec ia te here is the fight choreography and dazz l i n g editing. Catch it somet i m e w h e n you’re pumped w i t h adrenaline.
•••••••••••••••••••••
THE TRIP TO ITALY
Steve Coogan and Rob Bryden get a second gig traveling around to eat at and report on fine restaurants in this sequel to the 2010 film The Tr i p . B u t instead of Nor ther n England, their sequel assignment br ings them to Italy, where they rent a MINI Cooper, listen to some Alanis Morissette, dine in s t yle , get into contests of imitating Michael Caine and Al Pacino, and discuss the various meanings of life . Funny and touching. Both films are by
www.FREETIME.com •
TUSK
A mad scientist in Canada (Michael Parks) captures a snarky, full-of-himself American podcaster (Justin Long), drugs him, starts cutting off body parts, and transforms him into a walrus. Very creepy, very funny stuff from writer-director Kevin Smith. Note: Yes, that’s Johnny Depp with the ridiculous French-Canadian accent playing a disgraced cop named Guy Lapoint.
WHIPLASH
It’s student versus teacher. It’s shy, talented kid going up against sadistic would-be mentor. Miles Teller wants to be “one of the greats” as a drummer. J.K. Simmons is the conser vatory teacher who bullies his charges either because he likes to or because he truly believes that kind of treatment can make them better musicians. Teller, who’s been a drummer since he was 15, is terrific. Simmons just might take the Supporting Actor Oscar.
