Lights Out Closer to home, state Sen. Ellen Corbett (D-San Leandro) has legislation on Gov. Schwarzenegger’s desk that would ban ecigarettes in the Golden State until the FDA has had a chance to approve them. The issue came to her attention, says spokeswoman Lynda Gledhill, after the Santa Clara County District Attorney issued a warning about an e-cigarette kiosk in the Great Mall in Milipitas. “This kiosk was right by a store that a lot of teenagers go to. They had clearly been targeting teenagers,� Gledhill says.

Although the original legislation was only meant to ban the sale to minors, Gledhill says the overwhelming support the bill received inspired Corbett to expand the language into a total ban. The governor has until Oct. 12 to sign the bill. It would go into effect in January 2010.

suspicious that, rather than simply regulating the ecigarette, the FDA is going to cave to pressure from more powerful industries and ban the product. “My company alone is costing the tobacco companies and the pharmaceutical companies millions of dollars a year,� he says.

The FDA’s Delancey insists that the agency just needs an application from e-cigarette companies. “Conceivably, they could be on the market legally if they were to bring in a good application that had well-balanced clinical trials,� she says. She estimates that drug applications generally take six to 10 months for approval, but Horne estimates his business will be long gone by then. And though he admits that the FDA has a point, he argues that a total ban takes away the option from smokers like him who’ve tried everything in the past to quit or at least cut down on their health risks. “If you say it’s a smoking cessation device, then it does fall under FDA jurisdiction,� he says. “So I can’t technically say that, but I have thousands of customers who don’t smoke cigarettes anymore.� 0

The FDA is currently ensconced in a legal battle with e-cigarette company Smoking Everywhere, which has sought an injunction to prevent the FDA from stopping its shipments from entering the country. Though Delancey says there’s no telling when a ruling will come, Horne—who had a shipment worth $30,000 impounded by the FDA in July—says that from what he hears, there could be a ruling any day now. If the FDA wins, all shipments of e-cigarettes will be stopped at the border.

The ďŹ rst Santa Cruz Restaurant Week gives curious newbies, fussy foodies and appreciative regulars the chance to try something new >6=B=A 0G 1/@:73 AB/BA9G >@=47:3A 0G AB3BB 6=:0@==9 /<2 16@7AB7</ E/B3@A

T WAS JUST a matter of time before Santa Cruz joined the ranks of cities across the country celebrating local culinary talent with Restaurant Week. In New York, Boston, Los Angeles and San Diego, chefs were joining together for a week each year to entice diners out of their routines and into cosmopolitan restaurants where they might discover exotic new flavors and textures. And those cities are not the cradle of sustainable produce or home to unique viticultural appellations. This was the topic of conversation one July afternoon at the Cellar Door Cafe in the Bonny Doon Vineyard tasting room, where Dan Pulcrano, president of Metro Newspapers, sat shooting the breeze with newly installed chef Charlie Parker. The two agreed that if those cities could do a restaurant week, Santa Cruz could too. It has the talent, it has the terroir (see proďŹ les starting page 15). It’s becoming a dining destination in its own right as skilled chefs and winemakers set up shop, drawn by the local produce and natural beauty. Parker suggested putting on a Restaurant Week sooner rather than later, and a plan quickly began to form. The ďŹ rst Santa Cruz Restaurant Week runs eight days, from Oct. 1 to Oct. 8, and features $25 prix ďŹ xe menus from two dozen restaurants. That means that for a fraction of the price of three a la carte courses, diners can sample a trio of dishes from each establishment and in the process maybe discover a new favorite restaurant or remember the charms of an old one. It’s a time to step out, experiment and push the boundaries—just like the talented chefs who are making this week possible.

URING his three-month stint at Noma, a two-Michelin-star Danish restaurant regarded as one of the best in the world, Charlie Parker realized he’d had enough of ďŹ ne dining restaurants. Eating in other starbestowed restaurants around Europe added to the feeling. “It didn’t seem as fun anymore,â€? he said. “It was too stuffy to my liking.â€? Parker, 26, has been cooking for nearly

10 years. He is soft-spoken with shortcropped hair and built like a linebacker, stout and strong. In fact, he was a middle linebacker in high school and still looks like he could maul his way through a heavily fortiďŹ ed offensive line. From a young age he’s had a passion for cooking. “By the time I was in the fourth grade I would go straight home and watch Great Chefs of the West,â€? he says, referring ¨ $

1=D3@ j B63 /@B =4 B63 ;3/: to the late, great public television cooking show. He served as short order cook for his family, whipping up snacks and sandwiches before tackling dinner. He got his ďŹ rst job in a professional kitchen at 17 and has been cooking ever since. “[Cooking] is something you’ll never know enough about,â€? he said. “I’m constantly learning.â€? The Menlo Park native had previously cooked at top Bay Area restaurants like Manresa, Ubuntu and the Village Pub when he headed off for an internship at the famed Copenhagen restaurant in January. While he valued his experience at Noma, he longed to work at a more casual restaurant that served great food, but where it was OK to relax with friends and get a little loud—a combination he says can be hard to ďŹ nd. And then he got an email from Manresa’s David Kinch. Kinch, who had groomed Parker from a green California Culinary Academy extern into his sous-chef, was offering him a job as executive chef at Bonny Doon Vineyard’s new Cellar Door Cafe. Kinch had teamed up with Bonny Doon’s Randall Grahm to revamp the cafewithin-a-tasting room, and he thought Parker would be perfect for the job. At Manresa, Kinch had been impressed by Parker’s discipline, hard work and commitment to letting the quality of the ingredients shine rather than exing his technique to render his own personal stamp on the food. “For a young cook, he has fully grasped that the quality of ingredients is paramount to what you do,â€? says Kinch. The economy stinks now, but last winter it was apocalyptic, so a job offer was compelling. But just as appealing to Parker was the fact he would be able to cook the kind of rustic-yet-reďŹ ned food he loved in a more convivial setting. “Of course I accepted it,â€? he said. By April he was on the job in Santa Cruz. Like a parent watching children leave home and start lives of their own, Kinch takes great pleasure in seeing his former cooks strike out on their own. Two Manresa alumni started Ubuntu, a high temple of vegetarian cuisine. Former Manresa chef de cuisine James Syhabout recently opened Commis in Oakland to sensational reviews. And now Parker has left Manresa nest to run his own place. You might think that as a disciple of Kinch working for Grahm, Parker’s cooking would be pretty out there. Kinch is one of the most inventive and forwardthinking chefs in the world, while Grahm is one of the world’s most iconoclastic winemakers. Although I see inuences of Manresa in Parker’s cooking, such as his use of owers and fruit in savory courses,

his cooking is wholly his own. He favors the big, generous avors of Spain and Italy but brings techniques he’s learned from his diverse culinary background to bear on the ingredients. On the plate his food appears perfectly thrown together. To watch Parker in the spare, open Cellar Door kitchen is to see him composing each dish to achieve a nonchalant yet artfully put-together look. Good chefs also need to be more than deft cooks; they need to know how to work the room. And Parker does. Grab a seat at the bar and you’ll see him mix it up with customers and talk to them about his food, often serving them personally. As a chef, Parker is inspired by the seasons and locally sourced produce— just like every other chef in America. What makes his approach different, he says, is that the products he serves are truly local. Most come from within 10 miles of the kitchen door. “I’m blessed in this area to have some of the best produce in the world,â€? he says. “It’s such a privilege to cook in this area.â€? Because he’s developed good relationships with local growers, his ear is close to the ground, and he has an intimate knowledge of what’s available and what’s soon to be in season. As such, his three-course prix ďŹ xe menus change daily but are planned out two weeks in advance. Add in a chalkboard menu of snacks and small plates that change regularly, and you get a eeting moment of local avor framed on a plate. A recent menu offered a snapshot of late summer fecundity. Silken, rich bowls of roasted dry-farmed tomato soup. Pan-roasted local squid with heirloom tomatoes, grilled melon and purĂŠed mint. Pan-fried padrĂłn peppers with smoked chèvre in a basil bud vinaigrette. My favorite was the grape-marinated kampachi with ďŹ re-blistered grapes, bresaola (salted, air-dried beef) and nasturtiums. The salty meat and sprinkle of sea salt played off the buttery ďŹ sh and sweet grapes to create a delicious multilayered dish that was also beautiful to look at it. While the menu is always changing, the popularity of some items has made them ďŹ xtures. Thin crust pizzas are a regular feature at Cellar Door, as are the smoked ďŹ ngerling potatoes, certainly one of the world’s great bar snacks. Noma smokes a lot of its food, and Parker brought the technique back with him. He parboils the potatoes before cold-smoking them over hickory on a barbecue outside the restaurant. Just before serving, he quickly fries them to ďŹ nish them off. ¨

1=D3@ j B63 /@B =4 B63 ;3/: “I think if I took them off the menu there would be an uproar,â€? he said. I can attest to that. An order of the smoky potatoes paired with satiny aioli always starts my meals at the cafe. The smokiness and richness of the potatoes had me hunting for bacon the ďŹ rst time I tried them. They’re crazy good. Looking over the menus to come (posted online at boonydoonvineyard .com), you feel the weather getting cooler as root vegetables, kale, slow-braised lamb shank and smoke pork shoulder with cabbage and apples make their appearance and usher summer into fall. In many ways, opening the cafe was a risk for Grahm and Parker. The economy is still on life support, so any new business is a gamble. Grahm’s decision to offer prix ďŹ xe, family-style meals and seat strangers next to each other at long tables is an experiment in what he half jokingly calls “social engineering.â€? And then there’s the challenge of Santa Cruz itself. Would locals shell out for a chef-driven restaurant that steered clear of the same old thing? Judging by the crowds that continue to ďŹ ll the restaurant, the answer is a resounding yes. Grahm last month hired Joseph

Mora, a veteran of restaurants and wine merchants in Napa and the East Bay, including Chez Panisse, to manage the cafe and tasting room. Mora is a sommelier graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, and, as an advocate of the “farm to tableâ€? movement, he and Parker share the same vision of forging direct relationships with local growers. Mora said the growing economic importance of the restaurant operations to the company prompted the reorganization of the tasting room operation. Parker was motivated to offer premium quality food expertly prepared backed by professional service and an easy-going vibe. Before he came to Santa Cruz, that combination existed more in his head than in reality. “There’s no happy medium anywhere,â€? he said. “It’s hard to ďŹ nd that place that does both.â€? Until now, that is. —Stett Holbrook

RAD Briske’s path to handbutchered charcuterie began unexpectedly. “I would have kept snowboarding, but it didn’t make any money,â€? the chef of Gabriella CafĂŠ confesses, recalling his youthful days on the slopes of his native Lake Tahoe and New Zealand. “My girlfriend suggested I go into cooking, but I was a vegan and didn’t want to have to cut up meat,â€? he says. A plate of squash and ricotta gnocchi with pork shoulder Bolognese I have just consumed makes a convincing argument for abandoning the entire idea of a vegan culinary philosophy. Briske’s research turned up his next career move: enrollment at a cooking school devoted to vegan cuisine in Manhattan, after which he interned with Erik Tucker, a fellow Tahoe native, at Millennium in San Francisco. Here he ďŹ ne-tuned

his extraordinary radar for vegetable cookery and synergistic combinations of legumes, root crops and leafy greens. “When I was a vegan,â€? Briske confesses with a guilty grin, “I would occasionally crave ďŹ sh. So I would sneak off to Chez Panisse all by myself, just to eat ďŹ sh.â€? But ďŹ sh was just the gateway drug leading to Briske’s cured meat pantry, currently stocked with hand-made pancetta, salumi, lardo, coppa and prosciutto. The vegan chef has come out as a full-blown charcuterie nerd. “I started eating meat when I got here to Santa Cruz,â€? Briske recalls. “Chris La Veque, who worked with Justin Severino, was butchering pastured pigs. So then I joined him, and now we’re curing our own meats.â€? Briske’s memory of a recent pig butchering experience ďŹ lls ¨

his face with the sort of rapture you’d expect from St. Theresa at her most ecstatic. “I think the vegan thing for me—and for a lot of people—had to do with not really knowing where the food came from, or how it had been raised,â€? he philosophizes. “But now there’s so many sources of good, natural meats.â€? Briske’s early work with vegetablebased cuisine gave depth to his technique. “And then gradually I introduced more elements into my repertoire. Eggs, butter and cheese. And then I started playing with meat—and then ďŹ nally offal, the organs, the insides.â€? He grins as if making a schoolboy joke. “If you can cook vegetables properly, then you can make meat taste amazing.â€? Briske’s path to Gabriella a year ago involved a series of “emergency chef â€? gigs. While he was cooking in the Bay Area, his old Millennium co-worker Sean Baker called Briske down to Santa

Cruz to be his Gabriella sous-chef, using Lindencroft Farms—“the most beautiful farm I ever sawâ€?—as temptation. Baker had previously called upon Briske to help out at Flea Street CafĂŠ in Menlo Park. “Here I was a vegan, cooking steaks,â€? Briske laughs. After a year at Flea Street, Briske came to Santa Cruz, where he took over the kitchen six months ago. Briske’s menus are designed around the harvests from Lindencroft. “I use whatever Linda [Butler] brings us after she ďŹ lls her CSA orders. Our basic stuff is from the farmers market,â€? he says. Melons, tomatoes, seared albacore, mint, aioli, pecorino and sage are his “food ideasâ€? right now. Briske believes that his menu should offer “dishes that people can’t do at home. We don’t want things to get boring.â€? To prove it, he ďŹ res off the steps of a favorite dish of beef done three ways—braised short ribs, grilled bavette ¨

His prankster grin pops up again. Briske, who says his current girlfriend “makes better food than I do,â€? experiences food epiphanies at all hours. “I came up with a rosĂŠ raspberry vinaigrette in the middle of the night,â€? he says. Running into the kitchen, he brings out a chilled box of micro celery

sprouts. “I’ll put these on a dish with sweet tomatoes. For contrast.� He’s obsessed with food design. What else would he be doing if he wasn’t cooking? “I’d be hanging out on the farm or raising pigs in Hawaii. And then turning them into salami.� —Christina Waters

T WAS his cooking partners from Oliveto in Oakland who made Damani Thomas an offer he couldn’t refuse: come on down to cook for a year or so at our new place in Santa Cruz. The place was Oswald. Thomas agreed, fell in love with the town and thought, “Why not try it for a little while?� That was 15 years ago. At the helm of the reincarnated Oswald, Thomas works six days a week. “But one of them is light. I try to go to the Wednesday farmers market, organize orders, do the marketing and bring stuff back to the restaurant.� What does he look for? “I’m looking for anything amazing,� he smiles. “I always get most of the fruit, the tomatoes, squashes, basil—all the local farms do wonderful, abundant and delicious produce.� The staples are ordered from Green Leaf. “I couldn’t lug back everything we need from the market.� A native of Oakland, Thomas was working at the renowned Oliveto when he met Charlie Deal, Eric Lau and Bernard Engert, his future partners at Oswald. “Even though we all went our separate ways after Oliveto in the early ’90s, the plan to have a place together was hatched,� he recalls. After years of wild success, Oswald closed its Cedar Street location in 2007. Two long years later—long to loyal fans—Oswald reopened at the corner of Soquel and Front streets. And what happened during the intermission?

“Well, I had personal chef jobs. And savings kept me going.â€? Smile. “Friends and family kept me going.â€? Chuckle. “And I lost a lot of weight—I lived off body fat!â€? Belly laugh. Thomas, now chef/owner, likes the visibility of the new location. “This is a very busy intersection. People coming and going. I really like that we’re very exposed to the street. I’m a city guy. I like the hustle and bustle.â€? The chef confesses that once upon a time he thought about a career in architecture and the sciences. “But food paid the bills,â€? he shrugs. “I’m human and of course sometimes I think, Hmm, maybe my mama was right and I should have stayed in school. But I’m here.â€? The chef proďŹ le appealed to him. “I always liked the respect that the chefs got back at Oliveto. I wanted that respect. The white coats, the impeccable plates. When the customers come in, everything’s ready and the ow begins. It’s electric!â€? Thomas likes the challenge of designing prix ďŹ xe meals. “They can also be a pain in the ass. But the pain makes the fun begin.â€? He approaches prix ďŹ xe menus something like this. “First I ďŹ nd out who will be coming, what they like, are they vegetarians, etc. Second, I consider the season, what’s available.â€? Making eye contact, Thomas hunkers down. “If the three-course meal can tell a story, with a beginning, middle and ¨

end, that’s what I try to do. I want to take people through something. And if they feel good about the whole thing, then good.â€? Oswald’s menu changes at least twice per season, though some items, like the endive salad with Roquefort, stay. And he does have his favorites. “Right now I really like this braised rabbit dish on the menu—it works extremely well,â€? he says. “It uses three parts of the rabbit: the leg, which is braised, then the saddle, also braised, and ďŹ nally I do the loin, which is sautĂŠed and then dropped into the braise.â€? With this he’ll add fresh shelling beans from Dirty Girl Farms. “Cannellini, gigondas, something. Then basil pesto, sautĂŠed summer squash, and ďŹ nally preserved lemon and tomato relish.â€? With obvious satisfaction he explains

Chardonnay II is licensed, insured and Coast Guard inspected

that “the textural differences between the three cuts are subtle and delicious. I’m selling rabbit like crazy. It’s a big plate too.â€? At ďŹ rst he was concerned by the size of the portion. But so far every patron who orders it ďŹ nishes up every trace. “I had the rabbit dish myself for dinner last Sunday and I ate it all. Afterwards I felt incredible.â€? Open since last New Year’s Eve, Oswald is starting to look like Damani Thomas’ culinary destination. “This is what I’m going to do when I grow up,â€? he says. —Christina Waters

B63 :/<2 ;33BA B63 A3/ The monthly citywide art explosion known as First Friday is nearly upon us, and one place to head while bathing in the downtown glow tonight is the Front Street branch of the Santa Cruz County Bank, where the reception for the new exhibit “The Land Meets the Sea� will be at full tilt (pictured above, Morning Trees by Barbara Lawrence). The show—comprising 116 pieces at the bank’s five branches and 41 pieces at the downtown location—features breathtaking large-format canvases by Ron Milhoan, Charles Prentiss and Andrew Purchin as well as diminutive diptychs and the precise, intimate works of James Potterton and Peter Loftus. There are too many others to mention, so best to see for yourself. Friday, Oct. 2, 6–8pm at Santa Cruz County Bank, 720 Front St., Santa Cruz.

97B163< 1=<4723<B7/: Monique Truong is an absolute visionary on the page. Born is Saigon in 1968, she came to the United States when she was just 6 years old, and then went on to graduate from Yale and Columbia with degrees in literature and law. Truong has authored multiple essays, as well as many short fiction pieces, and is also co-editor of the anthology Watermark: Vietnamese American Poetry and Prose. Her first novel, titled The Book of Salt, chronicles the experience of a gay Vietnamese cook employed by the very notable American writer Gertrude Stein in the 1920s and ’30s. In this novel, Truong brings the reader into the kitchen to experience the reality of service society, cooking up a perspective that draws attention to these individuals who are often ignored not only by their employers but also by society at large. The novel received much praise, including the 2003 Bard Fiction Award and the Young Lions Fiction Award. (Catherine Gildea) MONIQUE TRUONG reads from ‘The Book of Salt’ on Wednesday, Oct. 7, at 7pm in the Humanities Lecture Hall on the UCSC Campus. Free. 831.459.5655.

B63 /@B7ABA /B E=@9 IMAGINE a day touring local artists’ workshops, seeing a lot of art for the first time and getting to find out what inspires Santa Cruz’s thriving art culture. Now imagine six. Over the first three weekends in October, nearly 300 local artists will open their studio doors across Santa Cruz County—not unlike a multitude of Willie Wonkas—for the Cultural Council of Santa Cruz County’s 2009 Open Studios Art Tour. In this “ultimate art adventure,� visitors can chat with artists and gain insight into the creative process in this annual opportunity to experience Santa Cruz visual culture firsthand. The tour features a wide array of media, from photography and painting to sculpture and glass art. Studios north of the Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor participate Oct. 3–4 and South County artists Oct. 10–11, with a full county encore for most artists Oct. 17–18. (Austin Sardella)

OPEN STUDIOS: artist guides with maps of the event, which function as admission price, can be purchased for $20 at various locations around town, including the Open Studios Art Tour Preview Exhibit at the Santa Cruz Art League, 526 Broadway Ave., Santa Cruz; exhibit up through Sunday, Oct. 18.

GM plant provided a single income enough to pay off their house, send his kids to Catholic school and to give him medical coverage and four weeks of vacation. When all of this was swept away through union-busting and plant closures, what, exactly, did Flint—what did any of us—get in return? Moore has to dig into the past to see what a future might be like. He plucks out of the memory hole a littleremembered 1944 speech of Franklin Roosevelt proposing a second bill of rights for American citizens. The speech, run unedited, is a beautiful summing up of Moore’s thesis, a counterbalance to Moore’s infuriatingly good use of found-footage montage and borrowed soundtrack music. The criticisms of Capitalism: A Love Story are obvious. It’s one thing to note that the Italian constitution passed an equal-rights clause: in reality, has Italy vanquished sexism? The problem of the derivatives market deserves its own documentary—and has it in new film, American Casino. Naturally, Moore could have taken his cameras to walled enclaves and country clubs to prove that unregulated capitalism is the best of all possible worlds. Fox News et al. do a good job of covering this department and of finding svelte Republicans to remind us that racism is over, the recession is corrected and everything will be fine once Obama is run out of town. You could quote Baroness Thatcher’s favorite comment on socialism— “Eventually, you run out of other people’s money�—while neglecting to remember how Karl Marx wrote that this, precisely, was an essential problem of capitalism. But Sicko energized the current debate over health care. Who knows what this documentary will touch off ? Here, Moore opens a door that most of the powers that be would like to remain closed. This call for democratic socialism sounds loud, clear and not at all shrill after 30 bruising years of privatization, layoffs and shameless corporate thievery. Hugely entertaining, Capitalism: A Love Story will get people in touch with an anger they didn’t know they possessed—and a hope they didn’t dare let themselves feel.

CAPITALISM: A LOVE STORY (R; 127 min.), a documentary by Michael Moore, opens Friday at the Del Mar in Santa Cruz.

I have a complicated theory about David Fincher’s films, and it’s kind of frustrating that I can’t actually tell you what it is, because that would involve ruining the ending of both Fight Club and The Game. What I can say about it is that if you carefully consider the endings those two films, you’ll see that the point or message of both is identical: in order to really live in this modern world, you first have to—er, do something that the main characters in those movies do

at the end. See, it just sounds stupid when I’m trying to avoid giving it away. But otherwise, it’s brilliant, I swear. Ask me about it sometime when I’m drunk. (Plays at the Del Mar on Fri and Sat at midnight.) (SP) 4=@@3AB 5C;>

Brawne (Abby Cornish) and the poet John Keats (Ben Whishaw) as an idyll of hyacinths and daffodils, birdsong and butterflies surrounded by slums. Circa 1820, Keats is loved by Fanny, an independent-minded girl who made some money through sewing and design. Acting as a brake on this romance: Charles Armitage Brown, Keats’ friend, fellow poet and self-appointed watchdog. Paul Schneider’s salty and scene-stealing performance as this ironist matches Keats’ poem “Character of Charles Brown.� The sad fact is that poetry read onscreen seems flat, and the better the poetry is, the flatter it sounds. Campion’s approach is far more interesting than the customary Merchant-Ivory or Jane Austen–industry adaptation. Bright Star has blood and sweetness in it, but the limpid, flowerchildish nature of this vision may make some viewers sneeze from the pollen. (RvB) 1:=C2G E7B6 / 16/<13 =4 ;3/B0/::A (PG; 90

min.) Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a greeting-card writer, has his heart broken by a girl he knew for about two years. She was called Summer

(Zooey Deschanel). As Tom recalls this tale in random-accessed moments, we begin to see the bigger picture. (500) Days of Summer is allegedly an antiromantic film, but the result is yet another alterna-date movie—a little brighter, a little more referential, than usual. The scenes don’t go on so long that they wear out their welcome. And yet it’s so full of negative space—places where jokes could have been planted, places where the characters could have been deepened. If only director Marc Webb had spent as much time thinking how to fill in the blanks as he spent murmuring, “It’s going to be Annie Hall for our generation.� (RvB) B63 6/<5=D3@

One is Special Agent Brian Shepard: Scott Bakula, whose solemn Lincolnesque profile rhymes with the busts of the Great Emancipator seen all over the Illinois locations. Mark confesses to Shepard that he knows a secret: ADM and its overseas rivals have been conspiring to fix prices. The FBI urges Mark to wear a wire to try to nail down the schemers. Inevitably, the executive’s own foot gets tangled in the trap he’s weaving. Soderbergh’s comic true-life thriller shows what was missing from Spielberg’s Catch Me If You Can and Michael Mann’s The Insider.

Participants in the plot include sweetheart of the Reich Bridget von Hammersmark (Diana Kruger); a mysterious Parisian movie-theater owner known as Emmanuelle Mimieux (Melanie Laurent) and a drawling British film critic-turned-commando (Michael Fassbender). Opposing these flawed heroes is the smilingserpent Christoph Waltz as Hans “The Jew Hunter� Walda. The loose cannons running around are the Basterds themselves, a band of homicidal Jewish guerrillas indebted to their leader, Brad Pitt’s Aldo Raine, for 100 Nazi scalps. Yet this is a genuine art movie. Here in cinema form is an essay about Tarantino’s fascination with and distate for the war film. (RvB) 7B ;756B 53B :=C2

(R; 105 min.) The trio of Jack White, the Edge and Jimmy Page got together for a summit meeting in a studio for It Might Get Loud, Davis Guggenheim’s fine documentary paean to the electric guitar.

102 min.) To those who thought Diablo Cody was the next Dorothy Parker: much of the dropped brand-names and oddly out of time sitcom references you love are all laid out and waiting for you. Director Karyn Kusama is a little intimidated by the prose and the subject matter. Anita (Amanda Seyfried) is a nerdly small-town girl whose best friend Jennifer (Megan Fox) can be kind of a bitch. One evening, Jennifer disappears and comes back in the early morning covered with blood and black bile.

Nothing is spoken of this incident for a while, until weeks later a beefy football player is found eviscerated in the woods. Feminist? Well, yes, but mostly no. The two girls’ plight might have made us feel something if they weren’t so geekycool. Or if Megan Fox wasn’t suffused by her conviction that she’s the hottest number on the planet. (RvB)

but openly gay Robbie (Mark Rendall) and his stepbrother, and our narrator, George (Logan Lerman), a writer-to-be dazzled by J.D. Salinger. The production design by Brian Morris, the music by Mark Isham and the photography by Marco Pontecorvo are all of a high quality. But scarcely a minute of My One and Only rings true. (RvB)

8C:73 8C:7/ (PG13; 123 min.) Meryl Streep’s greatness—her facility with accents, her plasticity and that uncompromising quality every really lasting actress has to have—has been used to portray the limits of human suffering. In Julie & Julia, Streep gets to kick up her heels. She has such fun with the part of the cookbook writer Julia Child that she’s consistently intoxicating to watch. Childs’ distinctive voice— the whoop of surprise, the trill and warble when she talked—makes Streep’s part of the film enthralling. Half of this film is based on the hustled-into-print book version of a blog by Julie Powell about replicating all of Childs’ recipes. Amy Adams plays Julie, and she’s still a horror. Director Nora Ephron tries for frankness in her script by having Julie Powell call herself a bitch. That isn’t enough to rehab her. (RvB)

(PG-13; 116 min.) Well-appointed but wearisomely chipper memoir in which RenÊe Zellweger plays a single mother of the 1950s, prone to serial monogamy and serial adventures. She’s separated from her husband (Kevin Bacon), a noted bandleader; meanwhile she haphazardly parents two children: the all

title character, voiced by Elijah Wood, is a doll-size creature with a zipper front and camera lenses for eyes. As he awakes, the Age of Man has just come to a noisy end. The only living creatures are these mysterious living dolls and their hunters: killer androids made of bones and servos. The creature 9 encounters some of his fellow creatures: 2, a wise old man; then comes the ninja girl 7 (voiced by Jennifer Connelly), a warrior with a seagull skull for a helmet. Most important somehow is a ponderous, selfimportant bishop (Christopher Plummer). The crew make their way through one hazard after another in this film designed for younger viewers.

Investigating the crime is an FBI agent (Bruce Willis) and his partner (Radha Mitchell). They believe the crime is linked to a large reservation of Luddites, led by a charismatic leader called the Prophet (Ving Rhames). Based on a graphic novel, this routiner-than-routine mystery teaches us little, except that toupees won’t look much better in the future. Though the use of these ’bots has reportedly wiped out sexism and racism, you certainly couldn’t tell: when Willis talks, women listen, and at one point he calls a suspect “Honey.� The possibilities, visible even in a far-more-low-budget effort like Creation of the Humanoids (1962), aren’t teased out here, in what’s eventually a tract

Astrology Free Will

By Rob Brezsny

For the week of September 30 /@73A (March 21–April 19): Is the electron a wave or a particle? Physicists had to conduct thousands of experiments to arrive at the definitive answer, which is that it’s both. In other words, the solution to one of the fundamental questions about the nature of reality is a paradox. I think this strongly suggests that the correct response to many other riddles about the ultimate truth might be two seemingly opposing explanations. Could the Unitarians and Buddhists both be right? Socialists and capitalists? Mystics and scientists? In the upcoming days, Aries, you will be offered lots of practice in adopting this approach as you deal with a personal dilemma that’s very much akin to “Is the electron a wave or a particle?� B/C@CA (April 20–May 20): Have you ever mused on the fact that your body is actually a kind of furnace? And that your whole life depends upon it? Food and oxygen are constantly combusting inside you, generating fiery energy that fuels your every movement, thought and feeling. This awareness of fire as a source of vitality, not a destroyer, would be valuable for you to cultivate in the coming days. Your steady, earthy rhythm needs a shot of radiance and luminosity and fervor. 53;7<7 (May 21–June 20): Several couples I know keep lists of the five celebrities they’d be allowed to boink if the chance ever presented itself. My friend Jim, for instance, will incur no karmic repercussions with his girlfriend Alicia if he ever spends a night of carnal delight with the following people: Lady Gaga, Sarah Silverman, Karen O, Shakira or Halle Berry. Alicia’s permitted to enjoy liaisons with Johnny Depp, Chris Rock, Marilyn Manson, Jimmy Fallon and Portia de Rossi. I bring this up, Gemini, because I believe you’ll soon be the beneficiary of some extravagant cosmic luck that could offer you a close brush with an exotic form of pleasure. This might not exactly take the form of a one-night stand with a famous fox, but it could be almost as extraordinary.

1/<13@ (June 21–July 22): I’m happy you’re getting back to fundamentals and shedding pretensions and nourishing your roots, but I also want to make sure that you don’t get too funky and lowdown. I’d hate to have to be hoisting you up out of the gutter next week, or counseling you on how to cover for the fact that you’ve compromised your own highest standards. So please resist any temptations you might feel to descend toward the lowest common denominator, Cancerian. As you deepen your center of gravity, make sure you keep your attitude elevated. :3= (July 23–Aug. 22): “I may not love you,� wrote R.R. Doister, “but I can certainly love my fantasy about you.� Personally, I’ve been guilty of embodying that attitude toward certain people in my life. There have also been allies to whom I could have said, “I do love you, although I love my fantasy about you a little more.� And it has even been the case on numerous occasions that I’ve been proud to declare, “I love you even more than I love my fantasy about you.� What about you, Leo? Where do you stand on the issue? This is an excellent time to get on the righteous side of the great divide, which is to say: Adore your special people for who they really are more than for your fantasies about them. D7@5= (Aug. 23–Sept. 22): In a puckish fantasy, the poet Linh Dinh imagined a hypothetical scenario in which it would be uncool to be too cool. “In an effort to inject more pep and resolve into its lethargic citizens,� he waxed with prophetic longing, “the government is mandating the use of an exclamation mark at the end of each sentence, spoken or written. ‘It looks like rain!’ for example, or ‘I must sleep!’� I suggest that you take his vision, Virgo, and turn it into reality for the immediate future! You would really benefit from getting more excited than usual! Who knows, maybe a simple thing like imagining every one of your sentences ending with an exclamation mark could make your whole being more thrillable! :70@/ (Sept. 23–Oct. 22): Is there a big difference between your current job and your beloved career? Do you suffer from the unsettling feeling that your calling hasn’t called you yet? Are you under the impression that your main reason for being here on Earth may reveal itself at some unknown time in the future, but not anytime soon? If you answered no to all those questions, congrats! You are more than halfway toward living a victorious life. But if you answered yes to at least one question, it’s high time

to take action. Start by formulating an intention to find out what you need to know in order to deal with the problem more aggressively. The cosmic forces are arrayed in such a way as to reward you for doing so.

A1=@>7= (Oct. 23–Nov. 21): The Indian guru known as Amma has hugged over 30 million people during her three-decades career. I’ve known people who’ve received blessings from her, and they tell me that she can magically undo your karmic knots with her spiritual power, freeing you from having to suffer indefinitely for the bad decisions you made in the past. Amma rarely does a complete unraveling of all karmic knots in one sitting, however. Your negative conditioning might be holding you together, after all, and a sudden superfix could cause you to fall apart. That’s the situation I suspect is true for you right now, Scorpio: You’ll be wise to undo some, but not all, of your karmic knots.

A/57BB/@7CA (Nov. 22–Dec. 21): The coming week will have something to offend and agitate everyone—except you. Whines and moans and yelps will ring out across the land, even as you’re emanating poise and aplomb. You may be tempted to brazenly exploit everyone’s vulnerability and seize control of your corner of the world, but I think that would be shortsighted of you. A better strategy for capitalizing on your advantage would be to dole out large doses of mercy, making sure that the people who will be important to your future don’t lose their way. 1/>@71=@< (Dec. 22–Jan. 19): “The bear must deal with 20 obstacles, and each one of them involves pears,� says the Sufi proverb, “because the bear adores pears.� That’s a twisty truth worth meditating on, Capricorn. I suspect that the gifts coming your way will bring their own unique problems; the dreams you’re in love with will generate new dilemmas to solve. By no means does this imply that you should avoid accepting the gifts or pursuing your dreams. Part of the fun of doing great things is dealing with the changes they generate!

/?C/@7CA (Jan. 20–Feb. 18): On behalf of all us non-Aquarians, I’d like to express our appreciation for the experiments you’ve been performing. Please don’t be discouraged just because the results thus far have been inconclusive and left you feeling a trif le rudderless. We feel confident that sooner or later you’ll come up with discoveries that will have bottom-line value to both you and the rest of us. We’d also like to apologize for the shortsighted and timid types among us who are accusing you of being unrealistic or overly optimistic. Please keep trying those novel approaches and making those imaginative forays. >7A13A (Feb. 19–March 20): While reviewing the work of Angelina Jolie in the film Taking Lives, A.O. Scott called her “the f lesh-and-blood actress most likely to be mistaken for a computer-generated special effect.� I don’t expect you to rival Jolie’s odd talent anytime soon, but I wonder if maybe you’ll be seeing a lot of that kind of stuff in the world around you. Some of the characters who will be advancing the plotlines in your life story may seem to be able to breathe fire, walk through walls or change the weather at will. At the very least, you’ll witness phenomena that resemble optical illusions. My advice: Try to get these exotic outbreaks to work for you rather than against you. Embrace them, don’t fear them. 6][Se]`Y( /`S g]c R]W\U O\gbVW\U W\ ^O`bWQcZO` b] YWZZ bVS O^]QOZg^aS O\R caVS` W\ bVS 5`SOb /eOYS\W\U- BSabWTg Ob 4`SSEWZZ/ab`]Z]Ug Q][
