A6=> 63@3 <=E Capitola is jumping on the ‘buy local’ bandwagon with a new shopping campaign.

City Buy-the-Sea

Capitola tries to drum up revenue with a shop local campaign 0G 9/B :G<16

F

OLLOWING the example of Santa Cruz’s Think Local First campaign, the city of Capitola is now urging citizens to “Shop Capitola� and support local merchants. Shoppers should expect to see the emblem of a red and white life preserver popping up all around the city. “We want to promote local business,� says local architect and Councilmember Dennis Norton. “Using simple branding, we want to remind citizens that the city benefits from the sales tax of purchases they make within the city limits.� Money from sales taxes funds the police, recreation, street maintenance, lifeguards and many other avenues of improvement and support within Capitola. Supporting local businesses also means more jobs are available locally. Capitola gets 40 percent of its revenue through sales tax, and the recession has significantly impacted this revenue. “Residents can get everything they need within the small two square miles of Capitola,� says Planning Commissioner Gayle Ortiz, who owns Gayle’s Bakery & Rosticceria. “Every little dollar spent will help, and not just on the big purchases. Buying even a meal or a book contributes to the city.� The decals serve as a reminder and a source of pride, participants say. “It tells those from outside the city limits that we’re proud of our community,� says Ted Burke, owner of the Shadowbrook Restaurant.

“There’s no added benefit if people are already at a local restaurant or store, but it serves as a reminder that Capitola really has a lot to offer.� Burke says he thinks the entire city will see the benefits of the campaign, not just local businesses. “Fixing an economic downturn starts at home. People are spending smart, but they should also spend local first instead of going over the hill,� he says. “We expect to see some improvement when we check the sales tax total in the next financial quarter,� says Toni Castro of the Chamber of Commerce. Window decals have already been distributed to the entire business community, and not just in Capitola Village. Mall stores and other 41st Avenue businesses are in on it. Businesses have also been asked to include the logo on their websites and in all their advertisements. At its meeting on Thursday night, July 16, the Planning Commission approved posting Shop Capitola signs at all four entrances to the city to serve as an additional reminder to buy local and complement signs in business windows. “I’m excited to put a sign in the bakery,� Ortiz said. At the City Council’s prompting, a task force of Capitolans has been working on the project since January of this year. If they don’t already have one, local merchants can pick up window decals at the Capitola Chamber of Commerce. 0

E’VE HEARD IT all before: “Is that a dog or a rat?â€? “Hey, a punt dog!â€? Or the highly original “Why don’t you get a real dog?â€? As far as membership in that sector of society still safe to belittle, we who own smaller canine breeds rate right up there with rednecks and the obese. Stereotypes abound, both for us and our pint-sized pals. We’re airhead heiresses with a Shih Tzu parked in our Gucci bag or post-menopausal women who’ve restocked their empty nests with furry surrogates. And oh, how they mock those poor dogs not quite tall enough to drink out of the toilet bowl. If a movie needs a punchline, a throwaway visual joke, bring in the Chihuahua. Or a bow-bedecked Papillon. Bantamweights really do need their own Al Sharpton to do a little barking on their behalf. Perhaps it’s time to dispel a few of those tired old myths about us and our “kids,â€? as so many of you are convinced that we call them. ¨ #

Oh yeah? Tell it to the American Kennel Club, which yearly ranks the most popular breeds. Almost half of the 10 top breeds to cycle up and down AKC’s list for the past several years would barely clear your average Labrador’s chubby thighs. We’re talking Yorkies, Dachshunds, poodles, Shih Tzus, miniature Schnauzers, Pomeranians and Chihuahuas. As long as a burgeoning population of humans continue to cram themselves into ever-smaller living conditions, the little ones will eventually loom over the bigger lunks. ;gbV <] ( BW\g R]Ua PO`Y []`S bVO\ PWU R]Ua

Not really; it’s just more grating. Those tiny vocal chords make for a higher-pitched yap. They’re trying to communicate the same thing as German Shepherds or Rottweilers. They’re anxious, they’re lonely or they’d really appreciate it if you weren’t all up in

Big dogs that bite will hurt people. They quickly change their behavior or end up on death row at the local shelter. Tiny jaws, however, rarely do much more than nip and annoy. Some of their less responsible guardians write it off as a small downside of a small dog. It’s true that your typical Chihuahua will not joyfully run up to slobber all over you like its bigger relatives. You, too, would be a little nervous if everyone you met were as tall as a six-story building. Additionally, most canines were originally bred to do some type of chore: bring down lions, retrieve birds, round up sheep. A Chihuahua was bred specifically for one job: companionship. That would be companion— singular, not plural. ;gbV <] "( BVS a[OZZS` bVSg O`S bVS VO`RS` bVSg O`S b] V]caSP`SOY

Yes, but it has nothing to do with bladder or brain size. Like their stealthpooping, they just get away with it easier. Discovering where a Great Dane dropped its load is a lot easier than spotting droppings smaller than your pinkie. Trainers and dog behaviorists agree the best way to housebreak a puppy is to catch it in the act and quickly carry it outdoors while pouring on the praise. A youthful St. Bernard tends to make itself known as it prepares to squat, while a toy breed in its puppyhood can easily disappear behind a moderate-size potted plant. Also, it’s easier to forgive a creature that leaves Jimmy Dean breakfast links vs. a steaming mini-Everest. ;gbV <] #( =\Zg e][S\ O\R UOg [S\ ZSOaV bVS[aSZdSa b] R]Ua eWbV POZZa bVS aWhS ]T YWPPZS

Finally, it’s time to address this misguided assumption that our tiny charges take the place of children we wished we had. There are plenty who prefer a small, hairless, utterly dependent creature that takes up to four years to housebreak. Many more have committed themselves to young companions who scream “I want,â€? f ling food or collapse in a sobbing heap each time they are taken for a walk in public. When our Pekingese reaches the human equivalent of 14 years old, we do not worry about drug abuse, gang affiliations, morbid adolescent poetry or wonder what they do on the Internet hour after hour. Our “kidsâ€? set us back about $80–$100 for a sixweek school session, not 15 grand a semester.

When hip-hop culture starts to venerate Pomeranians instead of pit bulls in videos, on T-shirts and in lyrics, we may grudgingly trust there actually is something inside of those baggy crotches they so love to grab.

NDERNEATH the front porch of a house in Santa Cruz—the kind of comfy family home that has very thick wall-towall carpeting—there is a secret room accessible by a crude path of boards laid over the steep dirt incline under the deck. “They’re out of the house, in here,� says Brad Loof bourrow as his 13-yearold son Tristan opens the door to the small, hot room. This is where Tristan keeps Ellen, Rachel, Shelby, Bruce, Sahra and H.P. “He names them all,� says Brad. “They’re his friends.� It doesn’t look like much at first—like shelving units with plastic drawers. But then Tristan pulls out a drawer and removes a black snake with large spots along its long, slick skin. It lazily coils itself around his hand, black tongue flicking in and out. “This is my first ball python,� he says. “It’s like an addiction. When you have a snake, you can’t have just one.� Tristan keeps about 20 snakes, mostly ball pythons, but also a red-tailed boa, a couple of long, pencil-thin garter snakes

named Sid and Nancy and three mildly venomous hognose snakes. “They’re so docile,â€? says Brad. “We bring them up and they watch TV with us.â€? Lawrence Stowbunenko, who keeps about 25 snakes in a spare bedroom at his home in the Royal Oaks area south of Aromas, agrees. “They’re generally pretty friendly. I’d rather be bitten by one of my snakes than a kitten—that hurts quite a bit more,â€? he says. Caring for snakes, in particular the ball pythons, has evolved into a hobby, a community and—for some—a lucrative business enterprise. The craze, says Nik Johnson, resident reptile expert at TropAquarium pet shop on the Westside of Santa Cruz, started several years back. “There was a huge fad with high-end, designer ball pythons,â€? he says. “That’s where the money was. You can make some really cool-looking snakes.â€? The trick lies in the fact that ball pythons exhibit polymorphism—or clear and different phenotypes within the same species—which are inheritable, as ¨

vq!up!uxp!ep{fo!pg!uif!dsjuufst/ opposed to the result of some genetic fluke. While a “normal� ball python has a black and brown color pattern, many carry genes for a variety of wild and gorgeous color combinations. Some, like Tristan’s python Cu-Tip, come out albino, a white and butterscotch color with red eyes and tongue. Others have milkier spots and are known as “pastel.� “Bumblebees� are yellow and black. The list goes on: killer bee, spider, clown, snow, cinnamon. And within the snake community there is a heated arms race to produce never-before-seen color combinations and genetic pedigrees. “This is our prized possession,� says Brad as Tristan lifts a “piebald� python from its drawer. “This is the latest thing.� The snake is almost completely snow white, with patches where it looks as if someone painted a snakeskin pattern on. It’s like a pinto horse. Only not. Breeding the morphs, as they’re called, has created a unique community of snake aficionados. Stowbunenko’s wife, Yolanda, says this is what drew her into her husband’s hobby. “I’ve met a lot of really nice people in the snake community,� she says. Some of that comes from trading or loaning snakes for breeding purposes. Though snakes like the piebald or albino can run over $1,000, it’s possible to buy normal ball pythons for a few hundred dollars that carry the genes for other colors and patterns, then breed them in the hopes of producing a more exotic and therefore more expensive snake. For the Stowbunenkos, who bred their own albino, it’s a living lesson in genetics for their two kids. Yolanda remembers hovering over the eggs at the close of their eight-week incubation period. “When the clutch came out we had a few pastel ones and one albino, and we went ‘Yes!’ It was so exciting,� she says. Tristan hopes to create a variety called a “pink pastel hypo� hognose snake. “It’s

only been done once. That would be almost priceless,â€? he says. But like any alternative lifestyle, this one has its share of troubles. Yolanda says she has two sisters who won’t set foot in her house. “Some people think we’re anti-religious,â€? she says. “And one lady just flipped out and said, ‘You’re so disgusting, you’re not afraid for your kids?’ like I’m a bad mother.â€? And there is sometimes dissonance within the community as well—while Tristan keeps a “spiderâ€? ball python, Yolanda says some believe the morph is a carrier for a Parkinson’s-like neurological disease. Scammers worm their way into the community to steal snakes in bogus breeding trades, making off with $7,000 pythons. And while in this down economy it’s a buyer’s market, TropAquarium’s Johnson warns that the snake bubble may have burst about a year ago. “Supply became greater than demand,â€? he says. “I’d say don’t expect to make too much money.â€? Tristan, who hopes to start his own local business called Snake Pistols Breeding Co. after his first garters, throws open a mini fridge, explaining another community rift—live rats vs. dead. He prefers frozen, and the fridge’s contents are arguably a far more disturbing sight than any of the snakes. With a long pair of tongs he grasps a thawed white rat and dangles it over Sahra, a huge 5-foot-5-inch ball python. She wheels around and snaps up the flattened rat, coiling around it and squeezing, then nibbling at its pink tail. When Tristan goes to shut the drawer, she suddenly rears up. “Whoa,â€? he says backing off. “Get your spray bottle,â€? says Brad. “It’s on the other side of her,â€? says Tristan. Sahra eyes him suspiciously, then slowly pulls her prey into the drawer. Tristan closes it gingerly. “Oh my gosh,â€? laughs Brad. “That was lucky.â€? Occupational hazard, Tristan assures us. Besides, he’s only been bitten once.0 ¨

The Wonderful ‘Wizard of Oz’ 8/</ ;/@1CA

Cabrillo Stage’s spirited take on the beloved classic 0G B@/17 6C97::

T

HERE’S something faintly embarrassing about most musicals that doesn’t aff lict The Wizard of Oz. Maybe it’s the kitschy quality of those lines seared into the public consciousness— “I’ll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too!â€?—or maybe it’s the Dark Side of the Moon theory, which holds that if you watch the movie on mute while blasting Pink Floyd’s classic 1973 album, the two will sync up in remarkable ways, especially if you’ve followed the unwritten first rule and taken a couple of bong hits first. In any case, the usual wholesome naivetĂŠ doesn’t apply to this fantastical story of self-discovery, song and dance numbers though there may be. Which makes it all the easier to give a full-throated recommendation to Cabrillo Stage’s exuberant production of this musical. Trevor Little, making his directorial debut after choreographing 2007’s Little Shop of Horrors, has masterminded a spirited production with rollicking dance numbers, playful special effects (he makes ample use of harnesses and wires to simulate the swirling f light of the witches) and great sets and costumes, notably the Tree (which also features some of the company’s best singers). Little pays tribute to the 1939 MGM film: Technicolor crimson streaks the evening sky, and during the tornado scene the cow is blown across the stage, a wink to the audience that prompted delighted laughter on opening night. There are departures, too. The two Dorothys rotate each weekend, and Rosanna Arquette lookalike Monique Hafen, who had the role last week, plays it modern and a little knowing, with enough good-natured

coltishness to capture Dorothy’s cornfed inexperience. Ashley Little, the other Dorothy (and Mary Magdalene in last year’s Jesus Christ Superstar), is said to be more classic; her brief but memorable performance as the head Winkie suggests a more complex Dorothy this weekend. Santa Cruz comic Karin Babbitt turns in a performance as the Wicked Witch that’s more nasty than evil, wielding her incredibly cool broom with great style and a very bad attitude. The f lying monkeys are skillfully rendered as creepy old hominids in top hats and bat-winged morning coats. The four leads have great chemistry. As Scarecrow, Andrew Ceglio is goofy, loose-limbed and charismatic. Andrew Roubal as the Tin Man is a sweetnatured dancing machine, and Jared Washington plays the Cowardly Lion to good galumphing comic effect. Nobody chews the scenery here; it’s an ensemble effort, and it works.

Ensemble efforts are a strength of this production. While none really qualified as a show-stopper, the big dance numbers were exciting, confidence-inspiring affairs that let the audience relax and enjoy the show without having to fear any gaffes or missteps. If there’s one quibble I have, and it’s in the job description to have one, it’s that the vocals were a bit uneven—in many of the chorus numbers a few trained voices stood out from the other singers, belying the difficulty of finding true triple threats. Overall, though, it was a fully entertaining evening, and that’s what it’s all about.

THE WIZARD OF OZ plays through Aug. 16 at the Cabrillo Theater, 6800 Soquel Dr., Aptos. Tickets are $20–$31 at 831.479.6154 or www .cabrillostage.com.

AC@4 17BG @=19/B6=< The Santa Cruz Surfing Club Preservation Society—the group of soul surfers working furiously to keep the Surfing Museum open—is throwing this all-ages shindig with local rockers Ribsys Nickel (pictured), Coastal Sage, the Voodudes and the Paraffins with an eye toward making up for funds lost when the city of Santa Cruz went belly up. Saving a local institution was never so much fun. Friday, July 24, 7:30pm. Tickets are $20.

·B63 ;3/<7<5 =4 E743¸ MAWIAGE. Gay people are fighting for it, straight people are avoiding it and somewhere out there Kate Gosselin is single. No one knows what the hell is going on. That doesn’t keep Santa Cruz native Ailin Conant for taking a stab at it anyway in her new show, The Meaning of Wife, an examination of what it means to commit in a post-Prop. 8 world. Both Conant and her co-star Erin Judge are wedded—to a woman and a man, respectively—and will be the resident experts for this special Santa Cruz sneak peek before the show makes its way to the NYC Fringe Festival. (Jessica Lussenhop)

THE MEANING OF WIFE: A COMEDY ABOUT WHO GETS HITCHED THESE DAYS AND WHAT THE HELL THEY’RE THINKING plays Sunday, July 26, at 3 and 7pm at the Broadway Playhouse, 526 Broadway, Santa Cruz. Tickets are $15; $12 if you voted ‘NO’ on Prop. 8.

AC@47<5 B63 26/@;/ A FEW thousand waves after enduring verbal harassment from the Ăźberterritorial local surfers at Steamer Lane, Sacramentoraised surfer, journalist and Zen practitioner Jaimal Yogis has developed compassion for Santa Cruz’s infamous “surf Nazis.â€? “There are some really good surfers there who are bad role models—I wish I could say it another way—but there’s this idea that once you get really good, you can just be impolite,â€? Yogis says. “I’ve come to realize that a lot of the surfing community has been plagued with meth addiction, and I feel a lot more compassion knowing that. Nobody can be, like, a nice person when you’re doing those kind of drugs, or it’s very difficult,â€? the author and former contributor to San Francisco Magazine says. Yogis’ memoir, Saltwater Buddha, details his bumbling path from the Sacramento suburbs to the waves of Kalani, Hawaii, his year as a Zen Buddhist monk in Berkeley and his stint skimming the surf in Santa Cruz and Aptos. The book delves into the overlap of his quests to become a surfer and a spiritually grounded Zen Buddhist, which he gently weaves with quotes from Zen masters, pieces of Buddhist traditions and philosophy and the tale of his transition from naive teenager to respected surfer and journalist. Ultimately, the book serves as an extended metaphor for the interconnectedness of the ocean, surfing and simply living life to the fullest. “All my favorite Zen masters said everyday life is the path,â€? he writes. “And since surfing was my everyday life, I sat at the ocean’s feet. She always had lessons. And she didn’t tithe. She didn’t have a hierarchy (even if some of the other surfers did) and she didn’t ask me to obey secret codes. She just ebbed and flowed, demonstrated impermanence, and slapped me around when I needed it.â€? (Molly Zapp)

JAIMAL YOGIS joins a book club discussion about ‘Saltwater Buddha on Tuesday, July 28, at 6:30pm at Capitola Book CafĂŠ, 1423 Capitola Road, Capitola. Free. Attendees are asked to have read the book or allow those who have to lead the discussion.

This is the moment awaited by Maitreya, the World Teacher, for his public emergence, says Benjamin Creme. Maitreya is a colossal cosmic avatar with limitless love and immeasurable wisdom, and at the same time is a friend and brother of humanity. He and his group of enlightened teachers, the Masters of Wisdom, are returning to the everyday world to help us solve our most critical global problems. They are here to inspire us to create a new civilization based on sharing and justice, so that all may have the basic necessities of life: food, shelter, health care, and education. Look for a star-like luminary of brilliant power, visible in the sky night and day, as a sign that their open mission is about to begin.

The actors keep you interested. GordonLevitt takes the suave geek role and makes it charming. As the mysterious Summer, Deschanel does what she can playing a girl-next-door who has a covert core. I’m in the minority, but I don’t think Deschanel is perfect for the part. She’s not unreal enough. Someone British would have made Summer harder to second-guess, given her more teasing glamour. The film will probably complete the coronation of Deschanel as the queen of the alternadate movie, even as she plays it modest, with occasional out-of-character flashes of naughtiness.

She has indefinable magnetism, despite her chastity-pledge wardrobe; there’s something compelling about the blue hair ribbon, the blue wide-open eyes, the toneless voice that swells into a moment of sweet karaoke on the old Nancy Sinatra hit “Sugartown.â€? What is it about Deschanel? Lisa Simpson was seen reading a copy of Non-Threatening Boys magazine. If there’s ever a spin-off, Non-Threatening Girls, who could be the cover girl if not Zooey?

(500) DAYS OF SUMMER (PG-13; 95 min.), directed by Marc Webb, written by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, photographed by Eric Steelberg, and starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel, opens Friday at the Del Mar in Santa Cruz.

The new ‘Harry Potter’ casts a princely spell @716/@2 D=< 0CA/19

M

ONONUCLEOSIS protectionus! Such is the spell the students of Hogwarts need in this sixth go-round of the Harry Potter franchise, as an epidemic of snoggery leaves the student body with bruised feelings and chapped lips. He Who Is Not to Be Named is afoot but offscreen, hatching plots. Even the Muggles are starting to notice the war between good and evil, as in Harry Potter and the HalfBlood Prince’s bracing opening of a spectral terrorist attack on London. Hogwarts’ decay is showing, against lowering weather that looks like January in Iceland. The freezing cold must be responsible for the entropic diction of my personal hero, Severus Snape. His contempt for Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) is reaching absolute zero, and Alan Rickman shows this quality by talking as slowly as a character in an early sound film. The new potions professor, Horace Slughorn (Jim Broadbent), holds in his memory a key conversation with the young Tom Riddle, later to become the Hitler of the world of magic. He refuses to divulge what he learned, either out of shame or pride. Broadbent, very good here, is highly covert, while trying to give an impression of jolliness and openness. Dumbledore (Michael Gambon), the magic-world’s Churchill, needs to know what Slughorn knows, but the world’s greatest wizard is starting to decay. After the series’ all-time high of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, this is the best Potter. The wartime view of England—the row houses and twisted Whitechapel-like brick alleys—is comfortingly like film noir. Some will find this new Harry Potter a little lacking in CGI action, compared to the emphasis on shifting relationships. Like James

=:23@ 0CB E7A3@ Daniel Radcliffe continues to grow up before our eyes in the newest ‘Harry Potter’ installment.

Bond, Harry Potter isn’t an intrinsically interesting figure. It’s the world he inhabits that makes him fascinating. The clean, uncomplicated hero needed a little depth, and he gets some here, through an increased social life and some comedy. The main trio take up their spaces well; they don’t have to do anything to be amusing. Young Potter is now comfy enough with being called the Chosen One that he can joke about it (even if Emma Watson’s Hermoine gives him an whack on the head when he does). Rupert Grint is show-stealing in his perennial role as ginger-nut comedy relief, in this instance displaying the awkwardness of a man riding a broomstick. The college-level carryings on—the sex and the drugs, respectably disguised as snogging and potion-imbibing—are a welcome relief from previous tales of earnest berobed private-school kids. In this episode we get a sense of fresh, unrehearsed dialogue. There are, as always, characters one wants to know more about; Helena Bonham Carter’s

evil Bellatrix and Evanna Lynch’s Luna Lovegood are but tiny-portioned side orders. Luna may be a weirdette, but she is by a long chalk the most interesting girl in that school, and sometimes one feels Harry is blind. The battles aren’t very thrilling. Director David Yates’ swamp fight uses conventional too-fast-to-see horrormovie cutting. I don’t go for the light show; what draws my interest is the parade of British thespians (Maggie Smith is holding up nicely) as well as the endless Gothic pile of Hogwarts with its innumerable secret rooms and halfforgotten magics—and in the dark, the wand-carrying wizards on patrol, like gunmen waiting for an intruder.

HARRY POTTER AND THE HALFBLOOD PRINCE (PG; 153 min.), directed by David Yates, written by Steve Koves, based on the novel by J.K. Rowling, photographed by Bruno Delbonnel and starring Daniel Radcliffe, plays countywide.

Lone Wolf The hero of ‘Tetro,’ just like director Francis Coppola, feels spurned by muses and critics alike 0G @716/@2 D=< 0CA/19

T

HE SUMPTUOUS but very strange self-made film Tetro is at times an unsuccessful wine pairing: a sophisticated rich Coppola served with an inferior Gallo. Francis Ford Coppola’s new work is set in Buenos Aires. Bennie (Alden Ehrenreich), a young and virginal sailor—a waiter on a cruise ship—descends on his longlost half-brother (Vincent Gallo), who abandoned him in New York. Their mutual father is a renowned and muchmarried orchestra conductor (Klaus Maria Brandauer). In rejection, the older brother has changed his name to Tetro. This broken-legged lone wolf winds his way through a series of cafes, having written off the writing life. His adoring wife Miranda (Maribel VerdĂş) tries to smooth the roughness between the brothers, but Bennie’s own ambition to become a writer inflames matters. Decrypting the film’s coded, hidden stash of notes for an open-ended modernist novel—the characters have algebraic names—Bennie discovers the true history of his family. Tetro’s expertly synthesized black-andwhite surfaces are more than alluring. Is the title a kind of anagram for “Retroâ€?? The surfaces were also fascinating in Coppola’s gorgeous but crazy 2007 Youth Without Youth. There are just as many oddities here. A cabaret scene doesn’t rhyme with the plot. The story is of a transvestite Mephistopheles in Faust, but the devil isn’t buying the souls of avantgarde writers these days—he’s not in the market. We learn that Miranda met Tetro at a place called “Califata,â€? which seems to be both an open-mic circle and

an open-air group therapy session. He was broken and weary, and she healed him. She’s the muse figure, but later, there are weirdly crass displays of flesh that recall the awkward sex scenes in the director’s cut of Apocalypse Now. And if Tetro weren’t wobbly enough, it gets wobblier. Coppola introduces a critic known to the world as “Alone� (Carmen Maura). Dressed like Louella Parsons, she’s a social lion; she is given the demigoddess treatment at the cabaret when she walks in on the play. And she’s a villainess. Having once built up Tetro, she cut him down again, robbing him of his ability to work. After plagiarizing Tetro’s scrawlings, Bennie hooks up with the shinier figures in the Buenos Aires avant-garde and becomes a literary star. At last, the two brothers have a confrontation at an arts festival in Patagonia, where Bennie and his plagiarized play compete at the “Parracidos Award.� Coppola calls Tetro his most personal film. Why? Let’s revisit the record. We stuck with Coppola as long as we could through forgettable commercial projects and gorgeous but vapid technological

experiments like One From the Heart. Rather than a low-down gritty cafe writer, he was at one time the highestpaid director in film history. A man who enjoyed success in other fields, as well as a still golden reputation for 1970s cinema, shouldn’t be grinding axes. Despite its technology, Tetro has the same twin limitations of so much of Coppola’s work. He still seems unsure of how to shape his material and where to cut it. The lead actor is a major obstacle in this dig. Gallo seems to have been hired for metareasons. He must be the Gallo who is the derided indie director (of The Brown Bunny) rather than Gallo the actor—the hectoring, monotonous actor, a gaunt chest-jabber, a humorless, dour version of Christopher Walken. And yet there’s so much that’s worth looking past Gallo to see. Tetro is an eyeful: ballet sequences in an emulated Technicolor are a tribute to the Olympia episode in Michael Powell’s 1951 Tales of Hoffman, which is helpfully excerpted. That same Offenbach ballet is reprised in a Coppola style, and there are two other color dance interludes: a startling image of a seashore lapping at the edge

of a polished ballet stage, and one of an automobile accident, with the scarletgowned victim spiraling to heaven. It’s an aestheticized calamity that surpasses the equally strange car crash in Ken Russell’s sequence in Aria. The Buenos Aires nightscapes are malignantly fascinating, despite the fact that not much happens in them. A drive through the countryside notes the dazzling highlights off the ice-covered Andes; Coppola makes a virtue out of digital cinema’s flared-out whites and hot yellow. When it comes down to it, Tetro has only two problems. Technically startling but dramatically underwhelming cinema is already choking mainstream film. And cinematic beauty without narrative purpose might as well be a perfume commercial. TETRO (Unrated; 127 min.), directed and written by Francis Ford Coppola, photographed by Mihai Malaimare Jr. and starring Vincent Gallo and Maribel Verdú, plays at the Nickelodeon in Santa Cruz.

(2004) It took this one a while to grow on me, mostly because even as satire a movie about Bush-style patriotic puppets sounded like a chore. Oh, my friends, how wrong I was. This is comedy gold, and the biggest rush of all comes from what I hereby dub The Most Awesome Theme Song Ever: “America, fuck yeah! Coming again, to save the motherfucking day, yeah! America, fuck yeah! Freedom is the only way, yeah!� (Plays Fri and Sat at midnight at Del Mar.) (SP) B63 C5:G B@CB6 (R;

96 min.) After getting stuck with Seth Rogan as an arrested-development geek in her last romantic comedy, Katherine Heigl now gets Gerard Butler as a douchebag radio personality. This woman deserves combat pay. (Opens Fri at Riverfront, Scotts Valley and Green Valley.) (SP)

@3D73EA /E/G E3 5= (R; 98 min.) Burt (John Krasinski), an alternainsurance broker, and his pregnant mate, the dour, nervous Verona (SNL alum Maya Rudolph) seek a community. Sadly, they learn that America is a beautiful country full of ugly people. The two travel, meeting parents who are too permissive, or not permissive enough, before visiting an idealistic couple with a multiracial von Trapp– like family in Montreal. Director Sam Mendes makes this a Reactionary Road sequel to his last film Revolutionary Road; it’s a sitcom for nesting hipsters with guest appearances by celebrities playing wacky relatives. (RvB) 0@s<= (R; 82 min.)

Sacha Baron Cohen, late of Borat, purports to be Brßno, a past-hisprime Austrian club kid, seeking wider fame. Cohen’s drastic comedy insists that all the worst fears of gay haters are true and screws that point down. It argues that gay people are into flagrantly bizarre sexual practices, will try to recruit straight people relentlessly and will tease and seduce even the violently uninterested. Brßno, then, is not a plea for understanding but a shout of rage against homophobia. Watching Cohen in his disguise is like reading H.L. Mencken—amusement at the rude wit is followed by nauseated despair at universal gullibility. One can be slightly cheered by less well-known citizens who must—you pray—have either been in on the joke or had enough good humor to play dumb for this amazing Technicolor Teutonic faun. (RvB) 16p@7 (R; 100 min.)

One of the grand horizontals of Paris’ Belle Epoque, Lea de Lonval (Michelle Pfeiffer) is ready for retirement and a hobby. She picks a ruinous kind: the care and feeding of a beautiful, diffident young man, nicknamed ChÊri (Rupert Friend). ChÊri is the son of Madame Peloux, Lea’s

frenemy. In Cheri, director Stephen Frears reunites with scriptwriter Christopher Hampton and star Pfeiffer to revisit the type of games all three of them played 20 years ago in Dangerous Liaisons. The film brings out Pfeiffer’s gloriousness, her translucent skin, the limbs and hair still golden. But this deeply Southern Californian actress tries to play a Parisienne through formal diction and an exhausted drawl. Something simpler might have worked better. Yet Kathy Bates’ Madame Peloux walks away with this picture, not that she does much walking. She spends a good deal of the film with feet propped up, a half-smile on her face. Here is a woman, in author ZZ Packer’s phrase, who wears her fat like a mink coat. She looks like a woman who knew how to keep her customers amused. (RvB) 4==2 7<1 (PG; 101

min.) The most necessary film of the summer. The outrages of corporate food production are exposed in this fast and infuriating documentary by Robert Kenner. Defying the lawyers, one corporate chicken farmer shows us her wretched, antibiotic-packed birds. Today’s industry lobbyist is tomorrow’s regulator, as sure as today’s pig is tomorrow’s bacon. Drooling packed-in steers are fattened with cheap Iowa corn; it breeds E. coli in their guts. The nighannual outbreaks of E. coli are seemingly the cost of business, a price paid even by spinach-eating vegetarians. Director Kenner can’t be accused of starry-eyed idealism. Food, Inc. reminds that if the United States could make Big Tobacco come to heel, then agribusiness’s wasteful and deadly practices can be stopped. (RvB) B63 6/<5=D3@ (R; 100 min.)

film to acknowledge its audiences’ love and knowledge of movies by repackaging a pastiche of many of the great ones in a creative way and presenting it as an entirely new film. Now such “homages� are so commonplace it’s cliche for directors to work the art that inspired them into their own art, but Raiders was among the first to do this. Plus, its popculture cannibalism was fueled by two hardened fanboys, Spielberg and Lucas, rather than just one. Thus we get many references to their own films (Star Wars, Duel, etc.) as well as bits from a 1959 Donald Duck comic (the entire opening scene is based on it), the Steve McQueen film Nevada Smith (get it?), the 1973 version of Lost Horizon, Citizen Kane (love those crates!) and a lot more. Ironically, Raiders has itself gone on to be referenced and ripped-off in probably more movies than any other film from the ’80s short of The Road Warrior. Like the man said, pop will eat itself. (Plays Thu at Santa Cruz 9.) (SP)

and the three chumps, rendered amnesiac by booze, must search for him. They are: kittywhipped, Larry-like Stu (Ed Helms), confident but wrongheaded Moe-style leader Phil (Bradley Cooper) and the “one-man wolf pack� Alan, played by the film’s standout, Zach Galifianakis, Curlying beautifully.

(R; 138 min.) The soldiers of Bravo Company are stationed in Baghdad for the 2004 fighting. Central to the film is the mystery of Staff Sgt. James (Jeremy Renner) who comes in to replace a slaughtered demolition expert. James’ risk-taking amazes and angers his subordinate, Sgt. Sanborn (Anthony Mackie). The suspenseful, grimly funny script is by co-producer Mark Boal. Renner is outstanding as the inhumanly brave demolition expert. Director Kathryn Bigelow does what Howard Hawks would do; she finds the cooperation between men of great competence in a killing trade, rather than pumping up rivalry. Bigelow breaks through the sense of anonymity that characterizes most Iraq war movies, where helmeted men move alike and talk the same terse slang. However, The Hurt Locker takes an essentially knightly view of the war, of men suiting up and closing their visors. Thus this is the first Iraq film an American audience can feel good about. Boal’s script does discover the hollow inside the brave James: the missing part that made him never stop to realize why he did his job. That final revelation is smart filmmaking. It’s just that the hollow inside this movie—inside almost all the war movies, even the good ones—isn’t as easily seen. If war is a drug, as The Hurt Locker claims, who’s pushing it? (RvB) ;==< (R; 97 min.) Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) is a miner, assigned to a threeyear shift on the dark side

His only companion is a living computer named Gerty, with an emoticon face and measured, ambigious voice by Kevin Spacey. Sam is counting the days until he gets to go home, but matters start to go wrong. Already, communications with the Earth (and with his beloved wife) are fritzing out, and he sees strange glimpses of another figure through the station’s monitors. The film has its points. Director/writer Duncan Jones does bring home the moon on $5 million. He did this with old-fashioned ideas like the use of miniatures and a lunar set. Some fans of Moon argue that its not the technique, or the movie’s derivative sourcing that matters, as much as what the film has to say about identity. It makes you wonder: how much science fiction writing do science fiction film fans read? Like all horror stories, Moon must face that terrible point where the audience says, “There must be a reasonable explanation for this.â€? Ultimately, Jones gives us the reasonable explanation, but he can’t supply a great final twist on a story that would have been deft at 60 minutes on The Outer Limits. (RvB)

>C0:71 3<3;73A

(R; 141 min.) Michael Mann’ carries out this study of John Dillinger’s career from its middle to its end in darting, little-cam movements. The photography often uses high-def synthetic light: yellowish-white flares of gun bursts and gritty magenta torches burning. Surfaces come to mind—that’s what this skin-deep film gives you when you can’t hear the dialogue or can’t tell who the new characters are supposed to be. In numberless close-ups, Johnny Depp emphasizes surface, too. The movie makes the master bank robber a gent, a showman, an ardent monogamous lover; when he takes hostages, it’s to relieve them of the humdrumness of their lives. But Public Enemies never takes us hostage; it never establishes that link it reaches for, the link between those hard times and ours. (RvB) B63 B/97<5 =4 >3:6/; ! (R;

106 min.) Grubby, truculent remake, with John Travolta looking like an old and jaded rent boy as a criminal mastermind hostaging a group of subway riders. He’s opposed by Walter Garber (Denzel

Washington), a low-key civil servant for the MTA. On the sidelines are a surprisingly ineffectual hostage negotiator, John Turturro, and a butterball New York mayor (James Gandolfini) trying to survive his own scandal. (RvB) B3B@= (Unrated; 134 min.) See review, page 51. C<;7AB/93< 167:2

During the last Depression, a reject kid named Carl becomes fascinated with that darling of the newsreels, the intrepid dirigible pilot Charles Muntz, who discovered the bones of an immense bird in South America and was declared a fraud. Fast-forward and Carl (voiced by Ed Asner) is a square-headed, Spencer Tracy lookalike of 78. When trouble comes, he escapes in the only direction open to him—straight up, with his battered house as the gondola to thousands of balloons, Unfortunately, a pesky 7-year-old scout, Russell (Jordan Nagai), is clinging to the front

porch. The pair land in South America, where they discover a 13-foot-tall iridescent goonie bird and eventually Muntz himself (Christopher Plummer). The news that Up is one of the year’s best films isn’t really news; Pixar has faith in an audience’s ability to feel without being manipulated— that’s what makes them more than just a studio with an unusually dazzling command of the vocabulary of animation. (RvB) E6/B3D3@ E=@9A

(PG-13; 92 min.) Very minor and musty but often funny misanthropy comedy by Woody Allen. Larry David plays Boris, formerly a physics professor; today, he is retired, a free-range castigator, living in a brick-lined vault in Manhattan’s Chinatown. A waif called Melodie (Evan Rachel Wood) drops into his lap; she takes Boris’ imprint completely—his rants, his phobias and his dislike of sex—and marries him. A year afterward, the in-laws arrive (Patricia Clarkson and Ed Begley Jr.), While it’s often canned corn, give it its props; Allen knows how to make a civilized comedy even when denouncing civilization.

Astrology Free Will

By Rob Brezsny

For the week of July 22 /@73A (March 21–April 19): Storm chasers are people who love traveling around the continent in pursuit of wild weather. Nothing feeds their lust for life more than getting up close and personal with a tornado or supercell thunderstorm. Many of them are meteorologists who are curious about the way storms work; they’re not motivated solely by bravado. I mention this because, according to my astrological analysis, the coming weeks will be prime time for Aries storm chasers to load up on thrills. The immediate future should also bring excellent opportunities for other Rams who are yearning for breezy adventures that will captivate their imaginations and slake their sense of wonder. B/C@CA (April 20–May 20): Let’s say that you lost a treasured object a while back. What do you think the odds are that you’ll find it this week? Or let’s say that a bewildering companion walked out of your life many moons ago. How much do you want to bet that your paths will cross again soon? According to my reading of the omens, events like these could be common between now and Aug. 15. That’s because the past is cycling back to you for another look. Revival and resurrection are in the air. What has been old may become new again. Are you ready to experience something resembling time travel? 53;7<7 (May 21–June 20): The seductive torments of insatiable desires are leaving you in peace, at least for now. That means you’re free to concentrate on the easier gratification of more satiable desires. I hope you’re open to that, Gemini; I hope you haven’t fallen for the illusion that hard-toget pleasures are deeper and finer. Please believe me when I tell you that you’re ready to exult and bask in the simple joys.

1/<13@ (June 21–July 22): The coming week may be one big Ethical Test for you. Maybe today the cashier at the cafe will accidentally give you $10 too much in change. Tomorrow you could be baited with a chance to gain personal advantage by betraying a friend. The next day you may have to decide between doing the right thing and doing the kind thing. It has been a long time since your integrity has been pushed and probed and pricked like this. As you wend your way through the gray areas, Cancerian, remember that sometimes being moral is not about saying no, but saying yes. In fact, one of the most high-minded acts you could make is to open your heart to a righteous temptation. :3= (July 23–Aug. 22): Did life feel meaningless last week? Was your destiny a random sequence of events shepherding you to a series of different nowheres? Even worse, were you convinced that human beings are toxic scum? If so, Leo, get ready for your mood to shift drastically. The whims of fate are mutating. Soon, a source of curses may be a fount of blessings. Enticing leads will rise up out of the midst of boredom. Human beings will fascinate and teach you, and every day will bring new signs to draw you deeper into delicious mysteries. D7@5= (Aug. 23–Sept. 22): You’re hereby relieved of your responsibility to keep everyone’s illusions af loat. (You might want to sink your own illusions, as well.) Consider yourself armed with Ernest Hemingway’s “built-in, shock-resistant bulls— detector.� Beginning immediately, be an elegant but in-your-face Reality Check. Don’t just tell the truth. Tell the lush, pulsating, up-to-the-minute truth. And be aware that even the dry facts may be evolving pretty fast. What seems like incontrovertible evidence today may be puny propaganda tomorrow. :70@/ (Sept. 23–Oct. 22): I usually applaud your inclination to remain above the fray and churn out astute observations. I normally honor your instinct to distance yourself from petty partisan squabbles. But this week’s different. For the foreseeable future, I’d like it very much if you dive into the pit with the other diehards and fight with hardnosed audacity for what you believe is the beautiful truth. At least temporarily, Libra, forget about your graceful talent for tactful compromise. I think it’s time for you to be a warrior who’s ferociously devoted to a just cause.

A1=@>7= (Oct. 23–Nov. 21): In behalf of all the other signs, I’d like to express our gratitude for the jump-starts you Scorpios give us. The jolts aren’t always bliss-inducing, true, but in retrospect we often

say, “Thanks, I really needed that.� We also appreciate the debates you embroil us in. They force us to take stands on issues we’ve been wishy-washy about. Our gratitude also goes out to you for those times you help us lose our excessive self-importance. It’s hard to cling to our pretensions with you around, and it’s easier to get to the root of the truth. Keep up the good work. Continue to be your warm prickly self even in the face of protests from faint hearts. Know that at least some of your fans out here respect the way you push us and trick us and inspire us to go places we don’t even realize we’ll benefit from going.

A/57BB/@7CA (Nov. 22–Dec. 21): During his time in hiding, the Biblical prophet Elijah was kept alive by ravens who brought him food. John the Baptist survived on nothing but honey and locusts when he was roaming the wilderness. And I’m sure that some unexpected source of comfort and sustenance will likewise turn up during your wanderings, Sagittarius. It may not be what you’re used to. You might even have to cultivate a taste for nourishment that seems foreign. But stick with it. You could learn to love it, and in the process become less dependent on stuff you thought you couldn’t do without. 1/>@71=@< (Dec. 22–Jan. 19): Burn the Book of Love you’ve been using these past few years, Capricorn, even if you just do it metaphorically. Don’t think of the incineration as censorship. Think of it as liberating yourself from the tyranny of fables that have programmed you to accept less love than you deserve and give less love than you have to give. Imagine that you’re ready for a riper approach to the knotty riddles of the heart. And when you’re done with the burning, go in search of a brand new Book of Love. Better yet, write that holy text yourself. A good title might be “Love Doesn’t Conquer All, But Sixty Percent Isn’t Bad.� A bad title would be “Love Doesn’t Suck.�

/?C/@7CA (Jan. 20–Feb. 18): You should closely monitor your environment for beguiling appearances of the number seven. I have reason to believe that seven may be involved in your current inconveniences and dilemmas. I theorize that seven has been trying to call attention to itself in an odd or irritating manner so as to get you to tune in to certain benefits that could be associated with the number seven—benefits you’ve been overlooking. I would even go so far as to speculate that seven may be both the cause of and the cure for your itch. Be especially alert for sevens that are in the vicinity of the color green or the letter “G.� Perk up your intuition anytime seven appears in advertisements, boxes of food, tattoos or T-shirts. >7A13A (Feb. 19–March 20): Don’t concern yourself with praying to the gods of luck and chance. I’ll take care of that for you. Your job is to solicit the favor of the gods of diligence and discipline. Why? Because I think you’ve got a lot of good work ahead of you—work that will take ingenious attention to detail—and you’re going to need the extra boost those gods can provide. Of course, their help won’t be enough. You will also have to draw on extra reserves of your willpower in order to express new heights of determination and persistence. Together, you and those no-nonsense deities will be an unbeatable team. The better you organize yourself, the more they will help you get organized. The stronger you push to make your efforts crisp and efficient, the easier they’ll make it for you to do just that. 6][Se]`Y( 7\ eVOb ^O`b ]T g]c` ZWTS O`S g]c R]W\U ZSaa bVO\ g]c` PSab- EVg- 4`SSEWZZ/ab`]Z]Ug Q][

ALL THE STARS LINED UP Once in a rare while it seems the universe is right with you. Little or big miracles take place, ordinary events become extraordinary. This recently happened with a buyer. I met with Sandy and Paul one Saturday morning to begin what could be a long process to find a decent family home in the Boulder Creek area for this young couple and their two children. Their finances dictated they could not go much over $350,000, a challenge in practically any area. We visited 3 properties, all somewhat inhabitable, small, then a fourth one which had only been on the market 2 days. Situated on well over a half an acre, this house had 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a huge living room, laundry room, workshop, over 2300 square feet, 2 car garage, a creek for the kids to explore, flat lot, with a good juxtaposition of sun on the large swimming pool and redwood tree framed background in a quiet area on a cul-de-sac. A new septic, new heater, new fridge, new dishwasher and recent pool improvements made this a true value. We all looked at each other then rushed to the office to write up the offer. There was another offer in front that the seller was just about ready to accept but not for the full price which we offered and which got accepted. The trials were to come. First the appraiser for the FHA loan noted flaking paint, exterior siding issues, and called for a termite clearance. The home inspector discovered the roof had been improperly placed and needed to be replaced. The seller graciously agreed to pay for all improvements including the new roof. The buyer ran up and painted where necessary. The accountant for the buyer neglected an important item on the tax returns. We had to wait until the IRS received the corrections. The loan lock was running out. All the stacks of loan papers had to be re-signed early on a Sunday morning. The IRS had the paperwork needed but would not release it via fax and now the loan was running out again. The buyer again stepped forward and somehow convinced the IRS to fax the needed papers. The IRS would but only to the home fax, not the office fax. Time was running out. The buyer ran home and looked for the fax machine which had been boxed up weeks ago (the landlord had been given notice and they needed to be out in 3 days, by the way). He found the fax but half-way through ran out of ink on a Sunday. Meanwhile the lender was demanding the termite clearance needed also to include some recommendations. The buyer ran up to the property and pounded in nails, covered wood with metal and all sorts of odd and ends to satisfy the lender. Well you get it- just a small sampling of the bumps

encountered. Throughout this long and arduous process not one complaint was heard from the buyers. They did not question or argue any point, instead asking what they needed to do, and again and again going out of their way to make it happen. Having a good mortgage person, a very cooperative and able listing agent and a very reasonable, non greedy, giving, wonderful seller on the other end, made it all happen- through all the quirks and seemingly insurmountable challenges along the way. What a delight to work with a group working together in harmony. Stopping by this week-end to say hello to the happy new home buyers and seeing their friends, family and kids splashing about in the pool was a great joy. Join in the fun; let’s find you a place too. Bring patience and perseverance.
