like Richard Dussell, who produces the music heavy variety show Look Mom, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on TV, trusting the cashstrapped city and county of Santa Cruz and a profitoriented cable company to keep doling out cash is an exercise in blind faith. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a scary time for community TV,â&#x20AC;? says the jovial producer, while helping set up microphones and cameras for local jazz trio Organasm to tape a live broadcast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Comcast is a business. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do whatever makes more money. We would definitely lose a valuable public service if [CTV] is shut down.â&#x20AC;?

Off the Air Providing the backdrop to the entire negotiation process is the passage of the Digital Infrastructure and Video Competition Act of 2006. The act allows cable companies like Comcast to wiggle out of local franchise agreements with cities and counties in favor of partnering on a broader level with states.

The law was sold to state legislators as a way of increasing competition and driving down prices. What itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually accomplished, however, is to eliminate the bargaining power of small municipalities,

and, arguably, has led to the closure or significant downsizing of 70 community television studios around the state, including in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Richmond.

Thanks to a temporary exemption from DIVCA carved out by former Assemblyman John Laird, however, the county of Santa Cruz will retain some form of local franchise for at least another four years. The question of how much of a fee Comcast customers will pay for that franchise is whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at issue, Laird and others say. And since all but a few pennies out of every franchise fee dollar goes straight to CTV, fans of public access television should view a cut in franchise fees as exactly what it is: a cut in community television funding.

In the meantime, viewers can still flip to Channel 25 and count on a steady stream of music videos, talk shows and comedy skits, all stamped with Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique brand of weirdness.

But the question â&#x20AC;&#x153;for how longâ&#x20AC;? is growing to a din, and unless negotiators loosen their tongues, it will be an ear-splitting clamor by the time an agreement is finalized. 0

Worlds Collide This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pacific Rim Film Festival documents crashing cultural change throughout the Pacific hemisphere

0G @716/@2 D=< 0CA/19

S

ANTA CRUZ, which so often seems like a strayed piece of Maui, was the natural spot for a film festival originally intended to honor the Islands. Over 21 years, the free Pacific Rim Film Festival has expanded to encompass much of the globe, but as this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offerings show, the Hawaiian links are still strong.

Take the unmissable documentary >Obag ;W\Y( /VSOR ]T bVS ;OX]`Wbg (Cabrillo Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Watsonville Center, Oct. 17, 6:30pm), which studies the life of the 12-term congresswoman from Paia, Mauiâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the first national lawmaker of color. Minkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most lasting achievement was Title IX, for which all girl jocks must give honor. 6OeOWW( / D]WQS T]` A]dS`SWU\bg (Rio Theatre, Oct. 20, 3:30pm) is Catherine Bauknightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s analysis of the changes that could be made to preserve whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left of Hawaii.

The wrap-up benefit (and the only cover charge in the festival) is a work-inprogress screening of B]eO`R :WdW\U >]\] (Rio Theatre, Oct. 21, 7pm). Actor Jason Scott Lee (perhaps best known for his leading role in Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story) left Hollywood to move to the Big Island; there he lives off the grid except for a wind-powered water pump. Four thousand feet up in a cloud forest, Lee raises chickens, tends a taro patch and runs a small black box theater for live performance.

So you can see the problem of Rick Bacigalupiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s documentary: who needs to explain choices like this? Sounds pretty damned smart to me. Lee does explain, though, between demonstrating how you can use poi as the original Hawaiians did, as a staple crop to keep one alive if eaten handful by mucky gray handful.

The benefit includes a live performance by the Hula School of Santa Cruz.

One of the best films of 2007 is showing at the Del Mar Theatre on Oct. 16 at 9:30pm and Oct. 19 at 1pm. C^ bVS GO\UbhS is an act of future-gazingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it gives a terrible sense of what these next decades will be like. Director Yung Chang, a master documentary maker from Canada, has as his subject the Three Gorges Dam project. Yung follows two young people, both employed in the tourist industry that plies the Yangtze before the banks are drowned.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not Yungâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purview to get into the potential hazards of the Three Gorges: its location in an earthquake zone, the rising silt, the decline in water quality upstream and downstream, the unexpected effect on local weather patterns. His specialty is the no-comment compare-and-contrast, with careful attention to the passing of time and the effect on the poor. An ex-farmer takes on the most dangerous quarrying I have ever seen, worse than the mining sequences in Powaqqatsi. He and his co-workers cling to the sides of cliffs barefoot, chipping the rock from under their feet as the real China drowns below them.

The Korean import B`SSZSaa ;]c\bOW\ deserves to be classified in the category with the most superior films about childhood. Director Kim So Yong concentrates on the close-up shot, presenting children as spies behind the lines in the forbidding world of adults. Kimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s direction keeps the subjective focus on a kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life throughout this short but affecting movie; the music-free landscapes, creekscapes and skyscapes are watched for information, just as the sisters study the people around them.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s >/17471 @7; 47:; 43AB7D/: runs Oct. 16â&#x20AC;&#x201C;21 at three locations in Santa Cruz and Watsonville (Del Mar Theatre, 1124 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz; Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz; Cabrillo College Watsonville Center, 318 Union St., Watsonville).

OMETIMES, a filmmaker can be too right for his own good. When Mark Tran wrote the screenplay for All About Dad as a 19-year-old San Jose State University student, he drew on his experiences growing up in a large Vietnamese family in California.

The central plot point was that the main characterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;loosely based on himselfâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; wants to give up his boring biology classes and make movies, but his father comes from a generation unwilling to see filmmaking as anything but a frivolous distraction.

Tran didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know back then that he would actually get to make his movie.

But with the help of an SJSU professor who loved the script, he was able to get

use of some equipment and enough financing to start planning a shoot.

When he did, he quickly discovered that he had been all too correct: because Vietnamese immigrants of that generation really do consider film an unthinkable profession, Tran couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find anyone to play the father character. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In that older generation, no one pursues acting, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about survival,â&#x20AC;? says Tran.

After four fruitless months of searching, he and his collaborators put up fliers around the South Bay advertising for the part and promising â&#x20AC;&#x153;no experience necessary.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were saying to ourselves, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is so stupid; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to find ¨

anybody,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? recalls Tran. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we thought we had to be able to say we tried everything. And the only person who replied was perfect for the role.â&#x20AC;?

That was Chi Pham, who brings a quiet storm to the character of Dad. As the title character who drives the action in this Viet-American family comedy, Dad requires a performance that is not entirely sympathetic, but not unsympathetic, either. Pham plays the proud patriarch who requires that everything be all about Dad, without losing sight of the fact that for Dad, everything is about the well-being of his family. It is a remarkable performance, especially for a nonprofessional, firsttime actor.

Tran is now 24, and after completing All About Dad last year, he finally got to see how a mass audience would respond to his film when it was selected for Cinequest in San Jose earlier this year. The response was overwhelming, and Tran was amazed to see all the screenings sell out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I came to the theater, there was this huge long line,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was really surprised. And really nervous.â&#x20AC;?

He neednâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been, as the premiere received a standing ovation, and All About Dad won the Audience Award for Best Feature.

What the audience is connecting to is obvious: while the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus on a Catholic Vietnamese family provides an interesting and unusual focal point for the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s themes, at least for mainstream American audiences (for instance, an engaged couple must keep secret the fact that one of them is a Buddhist), the truth is that in the end they are quite universal. Overbearing dads? Underappreciated moms?

Sibling rivalries? These are Vietnamese variations on a series of themes, and they are likely to hit home no matter what culture one grew up in.

Tran has the directorial touch of a Wes Anderson with soul. Small, quirky details pop to the foreground and can take on an unexpected significance at any time: a tilting tree here, a bizarre action figure there and the occasional burst of fantasy. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a refreshing lack of tweeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;these characters are not wacky or off-puttingly odd. They do some very funny things, and some strange things, but they are serious in intent. The way they act and speak feels authentic, and so do their problems.

That is at least partially because Tran drew on the real communication problems he remembers from growing up. Both English and Vietnamese were spoken at home, but he spoke very little

4756B7<5 67A </BC@3 !!Psejobsz!

tvcvscbo!gsvtusbujpot!bt!xfmm!bt!effqfs! ejtbqqpjounfout!cfefwjm!Ebe/ Vietnamese, and his parents werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comfortable speaking English. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can say anything I want in English, but they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They can say anything they want in Vietnamese and I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand. We kind of talked like third-graders in our vocabulary.â&#x20AC;?

The film is bilingual as well, although Tran was advised against subtitles at one point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of my producers said he hates films with subtitles, and that I should reconsider. But it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem right,â&#x20AC;? he says.

For Tran and his cast and crew, most decisions like that had to made on instinct. He shot for 25 days in 2007, a first-time director working with an inexperienced crew and mostly nonprofessional actors. The performances he was able to draw from the cast are extraordinary, all things consideredâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a weak link or a false note in the whole film. He admits it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always easy.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone was pretty much green, and so we were discovering everything on our own,â&#x20AC;? he says.

The Real Dad Tran did base the character of Ty Do (played with infectious energy by David Huynh) on himself. He really was terrified to tell his family that he was planning to abandon his plans for a career in the parentally approved line of pharmacy to pursue filmmaking. But the biggest irony is that his own dad had a totally different perspective on his film career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My dad was actually very, very supportive,â&#x20AC;? he says with a laugh.

Still, he was nervous for his father to see the film, afraid he might not understand that the character is just that: a fictionalized character based loosely on him. But again, Dad surprised him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was very afraid my father would dislike it, but he loved it,â&#x20AC;? says Tran.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;He knows itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not completely him. He sees it as a generational thing. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen it twice, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to see it again.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very proud. And he wants all of his friends to see it.â&#x20AC;?

The rest of his family is behind the film, as well. And they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any reason to worry about Tranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s careerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;his work on All About Dad has earned him a job directing a Vietnamese gangster drama in Los Angeles with a sizable budget.

But perhaps all along they saw the same passion in him that his character Ty has when he gets his first real camera in the film. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the feeling I get when I working on films,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so excited, my blood is boiling.â&#x20AC;? /:: /0=CB 2/2 (90 min.), written and directed by Mark Tran, screens Sunday, Oct. 18, at 7pm at the Del Mar Theatre.

Mark Tran will appear in person.

The Accidental Documentarians Amid the wreckage of the 2004 tsunami, filmmaking was hardly a priority 0G 83AA71/ :CAA3<6=>

LISON Thompson arrived in Sri Lanka after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that killed an estimated 230,000 people as a nurse, not a filmmaker. She f lew with her boyfriend Oscar Gubernati to the capital city of Colombo hoping to dispense medicine and treat wounds.

Making a documentary was not on the agenda. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not at all. We were just going for two weeks,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a little tiny hand-held camera, I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take it and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take some pictures. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll come back and have a fundraiser and send the money back.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

But when they drove through the destroyed village of Peraliya, which had only two buildings left standing, the trip took on a life of its own, eventually becoming Thompsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s documentary film The Third Wave. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the beginning, we only had about five minutes, because we were working,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But then two months in, this Sri Lankan guy walked through with a camera.â&#x20AC;?

They set him to work, along with anyone else who felt inclined to take the camera, while Thompson, Gubernati and the rest of their ragtag team of volunteers worked to treat the wounded, ¨

Thompson returned to her home in New York City after 14 months and decided to create a documentary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had all 250 hours of it, and I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I gotta make this into a story,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was hard to relive. I was bawling or laughing my head off.â&#x20AC;?

The resulting film is more of a historical document than it is a storydriven documentary, and it shows the initial destruction, rebuilding efforts, the slow return to a kind of normalcy and all the trouble that inevitably came along the way. Thompson and her crew had the added disadvantage of not speaking Singhalese, and only after the tapes were translated did she understand what was being said about her and her crew as they became embroiled in village infighting, jealousy and bureaucracy.

In the end, however, Thompson says the Peraliya teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success is a message about the importance of volunteerism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was very successful. When other villages had no homes built we were already up to 32. We just keep it simple: no bureaucracy, no politics,

everyone is welcome to join us,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Larger organizations] would write 20 emails back to the main office to get permission to build a toilet. They should have smaller subgroups that could have permission to go straight ahead.â&#x20AC;?

Actor and filmmaker Sean Penn certainly got the message, and in addition to putting his name on The Third Wave as â&#x20AC;&#x153;presenter,â&#x20AC;? he called Thompson up and asked her to join him for a cross-country volunteer trip in the United States that is now being made into the film Dirty Hands Caravan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a crazy adventure. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spoiled, unaware California kids on what was a party bus to start with. We ended up in New Orleans, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just shocked that this is their country,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their lives are changed forever. Twenty kids stayed behind. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a revolution, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being passed onâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;pay it forward.â&#x20AC;?

Train to Nowhere UCSC grad Cary Fukunaga rides the rails in ambitious debut film â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sin Nombreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 0G 1C@B7A 1/@B73@

I

N researching his Sundance awardâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;winning debut film Sin Nombre, director Cary Joji Fukunaga hopped a freight train with a handful of immigrants and trekked through Central America and Mexico on the illegal, much-traveled route to â&#x20AC;&#x153;el norteâ&#x20AC;? and the United States.

The huddled passengers, wet with rain and dodging tree branches and border patrol agents from the rooftops of the lumbering rail cars, provide the takeaway image from this majestically shot and finely acted Spanish language film. But the movie isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about immigration. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about two lives that come crashing into each other through shared tragedy and the quest for a better life.

Honduran-born actor Edgar Flores plays Willie, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;El Casper,â&#x20AC;? a member

of the ultraviolent Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13, gang, whose members tattoo their bodies and faces with a frightening veneer of black gothic letters, devil horns and teardrops. Willie has fallen out of favor with the leadership, and the charismatically malevolent Mara kingpin Lilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mago (Tenoch Huerta) has killed his girlfriend. On a train-robbing mission Willie rebels, slaying Mago when he attempts to rape a young woman, Sayra (Paulina Gaitan). Sayra is on her way from Honduras to New Jersey and a distant aunt in the company of her uncle and father. After being saved

by Willie, she becomes passionately infatuated with the young man, and the movie unfolds as the two race ahead of vengeful gangsters toward a final ¨

showdown at the crossing of the Rio Grande in El Paso.

Fukunagaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s images of poverty-stricken Mexico with its verdant forests and bustling, trash-strewn streets is epic and vibrant. And his decision not to tell the social story implicit in the journey of the train-riding refugees is one that defines his film as a character portrait and not a societal critiqueâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it also makes the movie exponentially easier to watch.

Besides offering a glimpse into two different and remarkable lives, the film also makes its stand as a Hitchcockian suspense thriller. Whether by train, on foot, or, at one point, stowed away inside a car on a tractor-trailer, the heroesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; odyssey involves several whiteknuckle run-ins with gun-toting Maras as the marked-for-death Willie drags his naive waif into the world of death and retribution.

Both principal actors give solid performances, with Gaitanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adoring

Sayra only slightly implausible. As Willie, Floresâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; few lines and emotionless expressions seem prudent for a young man numb to violence and with little left to live for. And a surprise talent emerges in Kristyan Ferrer, who plays the Maraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adolescent new recruit â&#x20AC;&#x153;Smiley.â&#x20AC;? Baby-faced and with more than a hint of innocence and conscience to boot, Smiley shows his true colors by the end of the film and helps drive home one of the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main themes, a trope in line with the fable of the Scorpion and the Frog.

By the time the credits roll, the viewer has been scared, thrilled, disgusted, inspired, enlightened and entertained. Not a bad haul for a guy making his first film.

Poi Man Pondering 70 feet of fun!

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Toward Living Ponoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; examines the post-Hollywood, ultrasustainable life of actor Jason Scott Lee

F

OR THOSE who know Jason Scott Lee for his butt-kicking role in Timecop, it would be hard to imagine him tilling land or burying fish heads to fertilize taro crops. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how he spends a typical day since moving to Volcano Village on the Big Island of Hawaii to learn how to live the concept of pono. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pono means righteousness,â&#x20AC;? Lee explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So living pono means living righteously.â&#x20AC;? That means living with and for nature: taking no more than you need, replenishing what you take and practicing respect and honor for the oceans and land. Toward Living Pono explores this ancient concept, a tradition that could become the cure for this troubled era of climate change, economic collapse and a decreasing capacity for self-sufficiency worldwide.

Lee meets some confusion explaining why he left Hollywood to live off the grid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They thought I would ruin my career. Some asked, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Why are you dropping out?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;From your perception, it looks like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m dropping out. From my perception, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m dropping in.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? With a laugh he admits: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still have trouble explaining it to some people.â&#x20AC;? Lee catalogs how minimalist it is living pono: one solar panel with a battery, rainwater caught off the roof, no refrigerator, a traditional outhouse and only a small outboard motor on his fishing boat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way we could overfish the oceans if we only took what we needed,â&#x20AC;? explains Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friend and neighbor, identified only as Earl. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The proof is here: we go fishing all the time.

We catch, and we feed a lot of people with just one fishâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll feed, what, six, seven people. For a couple of days,â&#x20AC;? he emphasizes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just say no to McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Taco Bell, Jack in the Box,â&#x20AC;? Lee quips on a fishing expedition as he licks a nutritious wet-cement-like paste, called poi, from

his fingers. Poi is made from the root of taro, a plant found throughout Polynesia, and is a traditional staple food that helps living pono. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eaten with fish, or the leaf of the taro plant, or other things collected from the sea. Once you start eating poi, you eat healthier.

A lot of things that go with poi are very natural flavors.â&#x20AC;?

In the philosophy of the Hawaiian people, the land was the chief, served by mankind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the opposite of Western culture,â&#x20AC;? Lee explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You exploit the land, and by exploiting it, you become rich. And that benefits only those getting rich. Living pono benefits everybody.â&#x20AC;?

It makes one wonder: will we learn to live pono and drop in, or will we trip and fall when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too late?

Art of Science, Science of Art

A new show at the Sesnon Gallery explodes our notions of right brainâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;left brain divisions of creative labor 0G 16@7AB7</ E/B3@A

P

ROVOCATIVE and richly improvisational, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Full Disclosure,â&#x20AC;? the new show at UCSCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sesnon Gallery, was the brain child of chemistry professor Scott Lokey and art professor Melissa Gwyn, who arrived at UCSC in the same year and became interested in each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work. What light could creative visualization shed on molecular spectroscopy? How is the beauty of a strand of DNA intrinsic to its meaning? And whyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;especially whyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;are failures, both in the studio and in the laboratory, productive of the next insight, a better paradigm, a clearer grasp?

Those questions and more began popping up as Gwyn and Lokey looked at each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work, noticing the uncanny beauty of even the most mundane protein strands and observing how, by artistically reframing their experimental building blocks, scientists might be inclined to expand their assumptions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Working on this show was both more intriguing and more complicated than usual,â&#x20AC;? admits Sesnon director Shelby Graham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The science is going to end up looking like art and the art looking like scienceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting.â&#x20AC;? As Graham sees it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;a failure in science can be much like a failure in art. Both make you see things differently.â&#x20AC;?

Asked what might constitute â&#x20AC;&#x153;failureâ&#x20AC;? in his field, Lokey responds that â&#x20AC;&#x153;failure can happen on multiple levels. It can be very mundane, like forgetting to label a sample.â&#x20AC;? Simple human error. But there are other kinds of failure in science, he notes, failures that are essential to scientific progress.

And these, Lokey observes, can lead to important paradigm shifts, such as when the failure to show that velocity was an absolute led to the discovery of relativity and its transformative effect upon physics.

Lokey found Gwynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paintings of molecular compounds, especially her â&#x20AC;&#x153;metaphorical approachâ&#x20AC;? to them, intriguing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They added a new layer

E@7B7<5 E@=<5A The collaboration between chemist Scott Lokey and art professor E.G. Crichton drew on notes from one of Lokeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s notebooks.

of meaning to my work, a sense of history and of personal history,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Science is used to staying within the objective. The idea of bringing in an aesthetic component was new to me.â&#x20AC;?

Lokey helped Gwyn figure out how to visualize chemical structure. She in turn offered the chemist a new lens through which to observe and think about his field. A conversation was born that soon spread. Biochemist Dave Deamerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photographs of protein structures, specifically nanopores, seemed a perfect cross-reference with Gwynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paintings. Land photographer Norman Locks began working with environmentalist Brian Petersen. Elliot Anderson of Digital Art/New Media began creative experiments in league with toxicologist Russ Flegal. Art professor Frank Galuszkaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s large-scale paintings incorporate refractive shards of muscovite, a practice that prompted conversations with mathematician Ralph Abraham.

As the installation artwork by E.G. Crichton demonstrates, many scientists had no idea how their â&#x20AC;&#x153;failuresâ&#x20AC;?

generated intriguing channels to inner awareness, or that broken test tubes and torn-up conclusions could yield interactive metaphors for their work as lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and art as work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started thinking about a larger dialogue,â&#x20AC;? says Lokey, Crichtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collaborator, with a smile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Something that would help scientists get outside their comfort zone.â&#x20AC;? Crichton worked with a roomful of chemists and â&#x20AC;&#x153;got them talking about their failures. Not just discussing the data, but the process itself, which includes failures, as fundamentally interesting.â&#x20AC;?

Lokey admits the collaborative process was a curiosity at first, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but when people come to the show they might find it eye-opening.â&#x20AC;?

FULL DISCLOSURE is at the Mary Porter Sesnon Art Gallery, Porter College, UCSC through Nov. 21.

Reception Wednesday, Oct. 7, 4:30â&#x20AC;&#x201C;6:30pm, followed by a panel discussion with artists and scientists; http://arts.ucsc.edu/sesnon/.

Entering Disleyland Terry Disleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wild musical ride B9B9B9B9B

OCK & ROLL fought a pitched battle for Terry Disleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s musical soul, but the pianist ended up forsaking the fast life to pursue his passion for jazz.

As music director for Dave Stewart, who gained fame as Annie Lennoxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partner in the Eurythmics, Disley spent much of the 1990s as a studio secret agent, laying down tracks for a succession of pop stars, from Paul McCartney and Van Morrison to Brian Wilson and Bon Jovi. But Disley started his career as a highly touted jazz musician, and he found the lassitude and anonymity of the studio lifestyle dispiriting.

By 1997 he was at the crossroads with the devil murmuring in his ear. Stewart wanted him to tour with a revamped version of the Eurythmics, while Bryan Ferry was looking to jump-start Roxy Music with Disley taking over Brian Enoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original chair in the band. Instead of delving into the rock arena, he lit out for San Francisco, where he has gradually built a reputation as a gifted pianist with a knack for writing catchy tunes drawing on a range of popular styles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just gave everything up,â&#x20AC;? says Disley, 52, who makes his Kuumbwa debut on Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dave Steward wanted me to revive the Eurythmics and Bryan Ferry wanted to tour with Roxy Music. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great bloke whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really into jazz. But I stubbornly did my thing and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still stubbornly doing it.â&#x20AC;?

Disleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent album, West Coast Jazz Impressions, is his most rewarding yet from a jazz perspective. Instead of the R&B-inflected grooves of his previous CDs, he employs straight-ahead jazz swing, exploring a variety of buoyant moods and vibrantly shaded harmonies with a superlative cast, including veteran rhythm section team of drummer Jason Lewis and bassist Dan Feiszli and Berkeley-raised trumpeter Erik Jekabson.

Guitarist Lorn Leber joins the Terry Disley Experience for Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well-designed, well-crafted music, and very fun to improvise on,â&#x20AC;? says Jekabson, a well traveled player whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s settled back in Berkeley after years of

contributing to the New Orleans and Brooklyn scenes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The music he writes really connects with the audience. They can grab a hold of it.â&#x20AC;?

Born and raised in London, Disley displayed prodigious keyboard talent at a young age, and by 13 he was composing for his own electric/acoustic chamber ensemble. Interested in many styles of music, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s written for wide array of settings, though heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always returned to jazz.

He cites Joe Sampleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funky keyboard work with the Jazz Crusaders as a formative influence, though he also soaked up the sounds of McCoy Tyner, Monty Alexander and Cedar Walton while playing opposite of them at Londonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premier jazz club, Ronnie Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. He gained invaluable experience and encouragement working at British bassist Peter Indâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tenor Clef club, backing traveling American jazz greats like Cecil Payne, Eddie Henderson, John Stubblefield and Urbie Green. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had gotten into the jazz scene and abandoned it to do the pop tours,â&#x20AC;? Disley says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ind called me and it gave me a

chance to get back in. Eddie Henderson was full of praise. He said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You just need to get exposure.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Exposure was exactly what Disley got as a member of the popular British world jazz combo Acoustic Alchemy.

He contributed to the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hit GRP albums and toured internationally, sharing stages with acts like the Yellowjackets and Grover Washington Jr. While heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s joined the revamped Alchemy for several tours in recent years, Disley is concentrating on his own music. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just wrote a new tune yesterday in the middle of the night,â&#x20AC;? Disley says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a Ray Charles feel to it and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll introduce it on Thursday. At the moment itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Kuumbwa Stomp.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

TERRY DISLEY EXPERIENCE plays Thursday, Oct. 8, at 7pm at Kuumbwa Jazz Center, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. Tickets are $12/$15 at 831.427.2227 or www .kuumbwajazz.org.

B63 7<23>3<23<B DAHR JAMAIL has contributed articles on the war in Iraq to The Nation, Al-Jazeera and the Guardian, but he is first and foremost an independent journalist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really the only way to go about it, and enables you to report accurately without censorship,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It definitely has been challenging.â&#x20AC;?

Jamail spent nine months in Iraq reporting independently, but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until his return home that he got the idea for his latest book, The Will to Resist: Soldiers Who Refuse to Fight in Iraq and Afghanistan. The book follows the stories of soldiers who have refused orders, gone AWOL or would not redeploy, sometimes as an act of resistance against the current conflicts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of them started approaching me on my first book tour,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They came up to me, I started talking with them, and one led to another.â&#x20AC;?

What Jamail discovered was a population of soldiers who felt betrayed or manipulated by the military, and that an increasing number of soldiers all over the country are going AWOL. Though dissent is increasing, he says, so far they are unconnected pockets of resistance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing compared to Vietnam,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the same time, they are growing more interconnected.â&#x20AC;? Jamail also says with the U.S. government on the verge of a second surge in Afghanistan, the kinds of stories contained in the book are certain to become more common, as public support for the war erodes and more organizations seek to aid soldiers who wish to disobey their orders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are seeing victories. Ehren Watada, as of today, he is a free man,â&#x20AC;? says Jamail of the lieutenant whose courtmartial case was dropped in May. â&#x20AC;&#x153; He wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spend a day in Iraq or a day in jail.â&#x20AC;? (Jessica Lussenhop)

DAHR JAMAIL will give a lecture and answer questions on Wednesday, Oct. 14, at 7pm at Veterans Memorial Building, 846 Front St., Santa Cruz. Tickets are $10â&#x20AC;&#x201C;$20. For more information call 831.423.1626.

0/19 B= :/@/;73 SANTA CRUZâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;based Pisces Moon Productions presents an influential and extremely telling epilogue to the original Laramie Project, which drew national attention to the reality and the brutality of gay- and lesbian-related hate crimes. The original production was created in 1998, after the infamous fatal beating of Matthew Shepard in Laramie, Wyo. A month after the murder, New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tectonic Theater Project went there and interviewed the townspeople, later turning the interviews into a play that was eventually made into an HBO special. Last year, the theater group returned to Wyoming and reinterviewed the same community membersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;plus the murderers and Shepardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother. The resulting production focuses on the aftermath of the crime and the overall effect it had, and continues to have, on the community 10 years later.

(Catherine Gildea)

THE LARAMIE PROJECT: TEN YEARS LATER is performed Monday, Oct. 12, at 8pm at the Music Center Recital Hall at UCSC. Tickets are $25 advance/$30 door, available at santacruztickets .com, the Civic box office or 831.459.2159. For more information, go to piscesmoon.org.

Scare Tactics

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Paranormal Activityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is the most frightening film anyone will see this year 0G AB3D3 >/:=>=:7

W

RITER-DIRECTOR Oren Peliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Paranormal Activity has been labeled â&#x20AC;&#x153;the next Blair Witch Projectâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;meaning, essentially, horrorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new runaway phenomenonâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and judging from the audience reactions at one of the first screenings in the country, that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem far off. Santa Cruz was one of only 13 cities to which it was first released, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been selling out its midnight screenings at the Del Mar (regular showings start this Friday). The reactions there reminded me of audiences at the pre-release screenings of Blair Witch, before hype, built-up expectations and misunderstandings about what that film actually was led to a huge backlash.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the thing: people at Paranormal Activity were actually scared. They screamed. They were freaked out, and it was actually fun to hear people talking about how much the movie had gotten to them on the way out. Some giggled nervously, some tried to cover it up, some shook their heads as if they were trying to unsee it. For all the controversy over the changed-by-Steven-Spielberg climax, I have to say it freaked me out, too. Without spoiling anything, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll say that, personally, I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all that comfortable walking into the night knowing the implications of the ending. (Interestingly, the other two endings considered hit a very differentâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; shall we say very finalâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;note.)

There are some very important differences between Paranormal Activity and Blair Witch Project that I think will help this movie in the long run. There are similarities, sure. Peli made this for $15,000, and the plot is about what you can expect anybody to get out of $15,000. It has a young couple, played by Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat using their real names (in what seems like an homage to Blair Witch), believing something unusual and disturbing is going on in their house.

Micah buys a hand-held camera to try to capture it on film, recording day and night.

This leads to the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest flaw, also

4@756B <756B A young couple try to figure out whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on in their new house and learn more than they ever wanted to know in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Paranormal Activity.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

a weakness in Blair Witch, Cloverfield and almost any other movie that uses this device, what I call Why Am I Picking Up the Camera Right Now Syndrome. It pulls me out of the movie when I have to think, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wait, would someone really go pick up the camera and film this if that was happening?â&#x20AC;?

However, it also leads to lots of genuinely creepy footage, and Peliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excellent sense of timing makes this certainly the scariest movie anyone will see this year. He actually made it in 2007, but it kicked around until Steven Spielberg saw it and supposedly was so scared he returned the DVD in a garbage bag, saying it was haunted. Now, Dreamworks and Paramount are putting it out, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already made back its production cost more than a dozen times over.

The biggest difference between this movie and Blair Witch is that Paranormal Activity delivers when it counts. Its title is as much a threat as a name, and while it may sometimes use it as cover to deliver some unexpected twists, it always lives up to it.

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY (R; 99 min.), directed by Oren Peli and starring Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat, starts regular screenings Friday at the Del Mar Theatre.

Wheels on Fire

Drew Barrymoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Whip Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shows what happens when girls collide 0G @716/@2 D=< 0CA/19

T

HE LEAD CHARACTER in Drew Barrymoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first feature film as a director, Whip It, is named â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bliss.â&#x20AC;? The movie is bliss, too.

Ellen Pageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bliss Cavendar lives in Bodeen, Texas. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 17-year-old perennial on the local beauty-pageant circuit, pressured to enter by her mom, a finalist some years before. When not being gowned and styled, Bliss works as a server at the Oink Joint, a roadside cafe with a jumbo concrete pig on top of it. Bliss is meant for finer things.

She doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what they are until sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shopping for shoes at an Austin used-clothes boutique. In come three members of the Hurl Scouts, a local semilegal roller derby team. Unbeknownst to her parents, Bliss joins them. She adopts the name â&#x20AC;&#x153;Babe Ruthlessâ&#x20AC;? and takes warnings from the fragrantly weird coach, who calls himself â&#x20AC;&#x153;Razorâ&#x20AC;? (Andrew Wilson): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more to roller derby than torn fishnets and a tough name.â&#x20AC;?

Barrymore has rescued Page from the career-killing move of repeatedly playing the smartest person in the room; usually the way out from cold, brainy roles is to play a part with a lot of nudity, but Whip It offers a wilier strategy for Page. We get to see the speed and energy in Pageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tiny frame, since sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playing an athlete, of sorts. Whip Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retro side goes beyond the Devo title; Bliss and her best pal, Pash (Alia Shawkat, terrific), are fans of the Ramones; Blissâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first meeting with a boyfriend-to-be occurs in an Austin lair full of vinyl LPs, and a first notice of a roller derby turns up on a Xeroxed f lier.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something autobiographical here about Barrymoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own story as an actress made to glam up by producers, even while she preferred the punker, funkier side of life. Barrymore herself plays a klutzy member of the Scouts, a Calamity Jane turning up with a bloody nose, a whiplash collar or crutches. This actor-turned-director takes great pleasure in the democratic side of comedy and in the uniqueness of small towns.

The acting is superior on down the line. As the parents, Marcia Gay Harden and Daniel Stern display a fond rapport, unobserved by Bliss. The camera steals up in a private moment. Despite her beautyqueen past, Mom is glimpsed propping her foot up on the kitchen counter, leaning back and having a smoke. Kristen Wiig shows serious dramatic heft as the motherly

@=::7<¸ /<2 BC;0:7<¸ Ellen Page plays a roller derby hopeful in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Whip It.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

member of the roller squad, and in a noteworthy comeback role, Juliette Lewis smolders away as the well-motivated villain on a rival team.

A sports movie makes its own gravy.

The rhythms are easy: parents object, then surrender; daughter rebels, then makes peace; problem of conf lict between big beauty contest and championship rally gets, of course, solved. The third act turns a little wooly. Barrymore could have cut across some of the plot loops to get this film where we know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to go. Whip Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s message to the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x153;Put on some skates and be your own heroâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;the kineticism of the rough-and-tumble rallies, and Barrymore and scriptwriter Shauna Crossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wit, lets Page hold the screen like never before. This wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t earn the prestige of Juno, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a far, far better movie. It has quirk without suck.

WHIP IT (PG-13; 111 min.), directed by Drew Barrymore, written by Shauna Cross, photographed by Robert D. Yeoman and starring Ellen Page, plays at the Riverfront Stadium Twin in Santa Cruz.

Movie reviews by Steve Palopoli and Richard von Busack

(1971) ) If you want to know what a uniquely strange and tragic talent director Hal Ashby was, read Peter Biskindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Easy Riders, Raging Bulls. If you want to understand why it matters, see Harold and Maude. When they say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make movies like that anymore,â&#x20AC;? they should be talking about this story of a 20-year-old habitual-near-suicide (Bud Cort) whose life goes from psychotic to sublime when he begins a relationship with a 79year-old woman (Ruth

Gordon). It would be even more accurate, however, to say they never made â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em like this, before or since. (Plays at Cinema 9 on Thu at 8pm.) >/@/<=@;/: /1B7D7BG (R; 99 min.)

B63 A3>B3;03@ 7AAC3 (PG-13; 90 min.)

Documentary about Anna Wintour preparing the fall fashion issue of Vogue. Just in case you thought Meryl Streep was kidding in The Devil Wears Prada. (Opens Fri at Aptos.) (SP) B67@AB (R; 133 min.)

Korean director Chanwook Park has been on a roll all the way through his Vengeance trilogyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy and Lady Vengeance. The man is a visual genius, an expert craftsman and a fascinating storyteller, and his movies are unique works of art shaped from the same core issues of power, revenge and the struggle of every human being not to fail miserably.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be interesting to see how he applies them to this story of a priest turned into a vampire by a botched medical experiment. Bonus fun fact:â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cut,â&#x20AC;? Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s segment in the Three Extremes anthology, was about a Korean director making a vampire film. (Opens Fri at Del Mar.) (SP)

(R; 119 min.) Sorry, action fans who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spell, there is definitely no airplane on fire in this movie. Instead, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a drama not unlike Crash, showing how seemingly unconnected lives (in different times, even) intersect. Charlize Theron and Kim Basinger star. (SP) 1/>7B/:7A;( / :=D3 AB=@G (R; 128 min.)

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been 20 years since

Michael Moore made Roger & Me, about the layoffs that devastated Flint, Mich. The only thing that has changed today is that Flint is worse, and its woes have spread throughout the United States. Moore makes a nationwide tour of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wreckage. He follows the collapse of the real estate market and sits with the victims of a family farm eviction in upstate New York.

When Moore is at his best, it is not as defense lawyer but prosecutor.

And whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been worthwhile since 1989 is his tendency to sass back to corporate spokesmen instead of taking their statements at face value.

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 movieâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a little brighter, a little more referential, than usual. The scenes donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go on so long that they wear out their welcome. And yet itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so full of negative spaceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;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, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be Annie Hall for our generation.â&#x20AC;? (RvB) B63 7<4=@;/<B (R;

108 min.) Matt Damon, with a tire around his gut and a ratty, chewedlooking blond mustache, plays Mark Whitacre, a vice president at Archer Daniels Midland Company. When he reports a case of industrial espionage, his superiors whistle up the FBI. Enter a pair of local agents. 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 executiveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own foot gets tangled in the trap heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weaving.

Soderberghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comic true-life thriller shows what was missing from Spielbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catch Me If You Can and Michael Mannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Insider. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a small masterpiece of slynessâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a lambent, seemingly effortless entertainment, a slice of cake that has a tarantula on it. (RvB) 7<5:=C@7=CA 0/AB3@2A (R;

160 min.) Quentin Tarantinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Holocaust film is the shouldhave-been true story of Operation Kino, the plot to destroy Hitlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gang through their own love for cinema.

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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Jew Hunterâ&#x20AC;? Walda. The loose cannons running around are the Basterds themselves, a band

can understand why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspired total insanity for three decades: it really does have everything.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as wide-eyed and charming as the sciencefiction double features it idolizes, but with all the kink those earlier films werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed to show. It also delivered a postmodern, satirical edge that would within a few years time become all the rage, in everything from Airplane to The Simpsons to Scream. (Plays at the Del Mar on Fri and Sat at midnight.) (SP)

of homicidal Jewish guerrillas indebted to their leader, Brad Pittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aldo Raine, for 100 Nazi scalps. Yet this is a genuine art movie. Here in cinema form is an essay about Tarantinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fascination with and distate for the war film.

(RvB) B63 7<D3<B7=< =4 :G7<5 (PG-13; 100 min.)

Ricky Gervais, Jennifer Garner, Rob Lowe and Tina Fey inhabit a world where nobody lies, and then they do.

83<<743@¸A 0=2G (R; 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 girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plight might have made us feel something if they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so geekycool. Or if Megan Fox wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t suffused by her conviction that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the hottest number on the planet. (RvB) 8C:73 8C:7/ (PG-

13; 123 min.) Meryl Streepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatnessâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;her facility with accents, her plasticity and that uncompromising quality every really lasting actress has to haveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;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 sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consistently intoxicating to watch.

Childsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; distinctive voiceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; the whoop of surprise, the trill and warble when she talkedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;makes Streepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 Childsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; recipes.

Amy Adams plays Julie, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a horror.

Director Nora Ephron tries for frankness in her script by having Julie Powell call herself a bitch. That isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to rehab her. (RvB) :=D3 6/>>3<A

(PG-13; 109 min.)

Aaron Eckhart plays a bestselling self-help author whose book helps people deal with grief ?

But could it be that he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t faced the tragedy in his own life? And that only the love of Jennifer Aniston can make him do that? Signs point to yes! (SP) ;G =<3 /<2 =<:G

(PG-13; 116 min.)

Well-appointed but wearisomely chipper memoir in which RenĂŠe Zellweger plays a single mother of the 1950s, prone to serial monogamy and serial adventures. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s separated from her husband (Kevin Bacon), a noted bandleader; meanwhile she haphazardly parents two children: the all 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) ' (PG-13; 99 min.) The 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, self-important bishop (Christopher Plummer).

The crew make their way through one hazard after another in this film designed for younger viewers. (RvB) >/<2=@C; (R; 108

min.) Twilight Zone-y scifi/horror flick has Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster as astronauts who wake up in darkness on their

ship and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to be doing there. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hint, guys: Ever seen a Ridley Scott movie? (SP) AC@@=5/B3A (PG-13; 89 min.) In the near future, all human beings will be pale shut-ins, experiencing life through cybersimilacra. Late one night, the son of the man who made this technical breakthrough possible is murdered, fried by electrical surge after his avatar is killed by a strange new weapon.

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 wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look much better in the future. Bad exposition (â&#x20AC;&#x153;This kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father is Lionel Canterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; as in the inventor of surrogates, Lionel Canter!â&#x20AC;?) complements the seriously ugly color, which as usual might look better on Hi-Def TV. (RvB) B=G AB=@G ! 2 (G;

81/92 min.) Not actually a sequel to the Toy Story

films (one is coming in 2010), but a rerelease of the first two, packaged as a double-feature and shown in 3-D. (SP) E67> 7B (PG-13; 111 min.) See review, page 45.

H=;073:/<2 (R; 88 min.) Under a plague of the living dead, the United States is in ruins, and the nervous college-age hero (Jesse Eisenberg) calls the dreadful landscape Zombieland. He joins three reluctant companions: a Twinkiesloving cowboy called Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), a fast female loner named Wichita (Emma Stone) and her little sis, Little Rock (Abigail Breslin). They head to a place where they think the light at the end of the tunnel still shines: Disneyland, renamed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pacific Playland.â&#x20AC;? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s merit to the idea of a turkeyshoot zombie-killing finale amid colored lights and spinning rides, but the film doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get more imaginative than anything seen in the previews. Under Ruben Fleischerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bare-bones direction, Zombieland is slathered with narration.

Harrelson is a fiercelooking party, but he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get Westernlyrical enough. (RvB)

For the week of October 7

Be the Hero of Your Own Sacred Quest

/@73A (March 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;April 19): The poet Stephen MallarmĂŠ wrote the following in a letter to a friend: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know which of my internal climates I should explore in order to find you and meet you.â&#x20AC;? I love that passage. It alludes to one of the central facts about the nature of reality: The quality of your consciousness is crucial in determining whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to attract the resources that are essential to your dreams coming true. In order to get what you want, you have to work on yourself at least as hard as you work on the world around you. This is always true, of course, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s especially true for you now, Aries.

A1=@>7= (Oct. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Nov. 21): Amazingly enough,

B/C@CA (April 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;May 20): Is there anything in your life that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really want but nevertheless find it hard to part with? A situation or experience that gives you a perverse sense of comfort because of its familiarity, even though it has a steep emotional cost and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t serve your higher dreams? If so, the coming week will be an excellent time to change your relationship with it. You will make dramatic progress if you brainstorm about how you could break up the stagnant energy that keeps you entranced and entrapped.

A/57BB/@7CA (Nov. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Dec. 21): In 1968, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn finished his book The Gulag Archipelago, a scorching indictment of the oppression that he and his countrymen suffered under the totalitarian regime of the Soviet Union. Banned for years, it was never formally published in his home country until 1989. Even after that, the new Russian government tried to control the teaching of history by suppressing texts like Solzhenitsynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. This year, all that changed. The Gulag Archipelago became required reading in Russian high schools. At last, the truth is officially available. (Maybe one day the equivalent will happen in the United States, with alternate histories by Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky finding their way into the curriculum.) I celebrate this breakthrough as a symbol of the events that are about to unfold in your personal life: the long-lost truth finally revealed.

53;7<7 (May 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June 20): One of my New Age friends says she has it on good authority that the Seven Lords of Time will reconvene in their Himalayan sanctuary on Dec. 21, 2012, and reinvent the nature of time, as they last did back in 3114 B.C.E. I have no idea if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true or not, but if it is, I say â&#x20AC;&#x153;hallelujah!â&#x20AC;? We would all benefit from some bigtime reinvention of time. But that happy event, even if it actually does come to pass, is still more than three years away. What to do in the meantime? Luckily, you Geminis now have major personal power to do some time reinvention of your own. To get the meditations rolling, ask yourself what three things you could do to stop fighting time and start loving it better.

1/<13@ (June 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;July 22): Soup is your metaphor for the week, Cancerian. Symbolically speaking, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the key to your personal power and a model for the approach you should take in everything you do. On the most basic level, you might want to eat some soup every day. That will make potent suggestions to your subconscious mind about how to mix lots of ingredients together so that their value and beauty as a totality are more than the sum of their parts. Not just in the kitchen, but in every area of your life, blend many little miscellaneous things into one big interesting thing. :3= (July 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Aug. 22): Change your password.

Take a different way home. Ask a question youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never asked. Dream up a new nickname for yourself.

Choose a new lucky number. Change the way you tell the story about an important event in your past.

Make it a little more difficult for people to have you pegged. Eat a type of food youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never tried. Do the research necessary to discover why one of your opinions may be wrong. Add a new step to your grooming ritual. Feel appreciation for a person whose charms youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve become numb to. Surprise yourself at least once a day.

D7@5= (Aug. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sept. 22): One of the best modern Turkish poets was Seyfettin Bascillar, who worked as a meat inspector in New Jersey for many years before his death in 2002. Nobel Prizeâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;winning poet Czeslaw Milosz lived in Berkeley, Calif., for over four decades while writing his books in Polish, his native tongue.

Icelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great poet of the 20th century, Stephan G. Stephansson, lived in Canada most of his life but always wrote in Icelandic. These people remind me of what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going through: striving to do what comes natural and authentic in a situation very different from the place where you originally learned to be natural and authentic. The interesting fact of the matter is that this feeling of displacement could very well be the key to your success.

the good deeds you do in the next 21 days could alone qualify you for a permanent exemption from hell. It seems God has cooked up some imminent tests that will give you a chance to garner some ridiculously sublime karma. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that you say? You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in either God or hell? Well then, interpret the opportunity this way: The good deeds you perform in the coming three weeks could practically ensure that the sins youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve committed thus far in your life will not stain the world or be passed on as IOUs to the next generation.

1/>@71=@< (Dec. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jan. 19): John, a colleague of mine, is a skillful psychotherapist. His father is in a similar occupation, psychoanalysis. If you ask John whether his dad gave him a good understanding of the human psyche while he was growing up, John quotes the old maxim: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The shoemakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son has no shoes.â&#x20AC;? Is there any comparable theme in your own life, Capricorn? Some talent or knowledge or knack that should have been but was not a part of your inheritance; a natural gift you were somehow cheated out of in your early environment? If so, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to start recovering from your loss and getting the good stuff you have coming to you. /?C/@7CA (Jan. 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Feb. 18): Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imagine that an independent filmmaker has been following you around, gathering footage for a movie based on the story of your life. This week he or she would face a dilemma. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because unexpected new subplots may arise, veering off in directions that seem to be far afield from the core themes. The acting of the central players wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be bad or unskillful, but it might be out of character with what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done before. And there could be anomalous intrusions that impinge on the main scenes, like a bug landing on your nose during an intense conversation. Yet I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help wondering if this chapter of the tale wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be extra intriguing for just these reasons. >7A13A (Feb. 19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;March 20): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tenderness and rot / share a border,â&#x20AC;? writes the U.S. Poet Laureate Kay Ryan in one of her poems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And rot is an / aggressive neighbor / whose iridescence / keeps creeping over.â&#x20AC;?

Your job in the coming week, Pisces, is to reinforce that borderâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;with a triple-thick wall, if necessaryâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;so that the rot cannot possibly ooze over and infect tenderness. It is especially important right now that the sweet, deep intimacy you dole out and stimulate will not get corrupted by falseness or sentimentality.

I urge you to stir up the smartest affection you have ever created.

:70@/ (Sept. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Oct. 22): The sun shines brighter on my new home. The old place had resemblances to a cave and was surrounded by tall trees. My new space is surrounded by a wide sky and drinks in the solar radiance from dawn to dusk. As you might expect, my 15 plants need to drink a lot more than they used to. The watering ritual at the old house used to come once a week, but now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s every other day.

According to my reading of the astrological omens, a comparable shift is occurring in your rhythm, Libra.

Metaphorically speaking, more heat and light are coming your way.
