The San Jose Sentinel News?

M

EDIANEWS watchers, take note: more mergers are on the way for the conglomerate that owns the Santa Cruz Sentinel, the San Jose Mercury News and dozens of other papers. On Friday, Jan. 15, the holding company for MediaNews filed for bankruptcy protection. Under the new arrangement, a group of lenders headed by Bank of America will forgive $765 million of debt in exchange for 80 percent ownership of the holding company, Affiliated Media, Inc.—although MediaNews CEO Dean Singleton and company prez Joseph Lodovic will retain control of the sevenmember board. The move leaves MediaNews

technically intact but, no shocker here, looking for ways to shave costs. The Wall Street Journal reports that on the day of the announcement, Singleton said he wanted to be “aggressive� about merging newspapers. “Asked which newspapers or groups of newspapers might be combined,� the WSJ wrote, “Mr. Singleton answered, ‘You can look at the map.’� We don’t know exactly what Lean Dean meant by that, but we do know that the Merc’s offices are about 45 minutes thataway, and we have to wonder if the months-old rumors that the Sentinel’s operations are headed the way of its junked printing press have some substance after all. —Traci Hukill

NEXTies, Please

R

IGHT in the thick of award season, Santa Cruz NEXT is slowing down to appreciate Santa Cruz now with the first annual NEXTies Awards. “We want to emphasize there are people here that are world–renowned, who are making a life here in Santa Cruz and having a really posit ive impact on our community,� says Santa Cruz NEXT member and City Councilman Ryan Coonerty, pausing before adding, “and we also hope that it’s going to be the best party of the year.� He’s expecting plenty of local hotshots dressed to the nines for the Saturday, Jan. 23, ceremony honoring the four chosen winners: Danny Keith of Santa Cruz Skate and Surf Shop, astrophysicist Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz of UCSC, Reyna Ruiz of Beach Flats Community Center and Marina Sousa, owner of Just Cakes in Capitola.

“I’m definitely honored,� says Sousa. “I just think everybody else that is getting this award does amazing things, and there’s part of me that feels a little bit silly because I just make cakes.� Well, she “just makes cakes� for Oprah Winfrey and the Food Network, but Coonerty says Sousa embodies an important aspect of the NEXTies. “She’s a great example of someone who could choose to live anywhere they want, but makes their home here.� All four will receive their awards at the former Wrigley Building, which Santa Cruz NEXT spokesman Peter Koht says will be tricked out with a digital media makeover. “It’s not going to feel like an old gum factory,� he promises. Here’s to high NEXTpectations. —Jessica Lussenhop For the complete article and event info, go to www.santacruz.com/news.

100 years after the birth of Django Reinhardt, a cadre of musicians carry the torch of jazz manouche into the next century

HE FLOURISH of strings fans out into an exquisite patter of notes as sharp as icicles. Then a sad violin takes up the refrain. The music is age-old

yet fresh, accessible yet mysterious. The sound is a mĂŠlange of musics. It’s made up of jazz—that blend of Civil War–surplus brass instruments, of Armstrong and Ellington, of African roots and snazzy New York Jewish songwriters. As played by guitarist Django Reinhardt, violinist StĂŠphane Grappelli and the Quintet of the Hot Club of Paris during the 1920s and 1930s, it was a music that enraptured the world. Jan. 23 is the centenary of the birth of Jean Reinhardt, dit Django; the date will be celebrated in Santa Cruz two days later with a tribute concert at the Kuumbwa Jazz Center. The Hot Club was the main jazz conduit between the New World and the Old World. Historian and bassist Brian O. Torff, who will be playing at the show, calls the members of Hot Club “the first important European jazz musicians.â€?

1=D3@ AB=@G 5G>AG A=C: Among Bay Area fans of Hot Club– style jazz is Jim Nadel, artistic director of the Stanford Jazz Workshop. “Django was very significant in the development of jazz guitar,â€? Nadel comments. “He was one of the first people to play a stringed instrument percussively. He brought a fresh lyricism to the guitar that hadn’t been heard to that point, and he also brought a cross-cultural influence to jazz—quite common today, something new then. He blended European music with the Gypsy-style impressionist qualities of Ravel and Debussy.â€? (“Maybe Debussy comes closest to my musical ideal,â€? Reinhardt once remarked.) The music is worth celebrating, Nadel observes: “The Hot Club was a departure for jazz. Prior to this band coming together, everything had been focused on brass and African American percussion. But the Hot Club were string-instrument players, and they still swung strongly. There was a lot of forward motion mixed with the lyricism. No room for clichĂŠ in Django’s music! And he was a fascinating character. He couldn’t read music: in fact, he couldn’t read at all. There are great legends about him, great lessons for persevering through adversity and limitations.â€?

Fingered A primary source for information on Django’s life is the biography by Charles Delaunay, a journalist and the Hot Club’s promoter. The book seems a bit lordly in the way it characterizes the Romany as wild children, but the figure Delaunay paints seems real. Reinhardt was a big man physically, an avid, sometimes ruinous gambler, a flamboyant dresser, “a despot at home� with his women. Grappelli once said that Django was fascinated by the gangsters in American movies. Reinhardt never lived with a real roof over his head until he was age 20. When he was 18, the caravan that Django shared with his pregnant wife caught fire, badly injuring him and paralyzing two of his fingers. Later, like Jerry Garcia, Reinhardt flummoxed the world by playing better than men with complete hands. After recovery, Django moved from the banjo-guitar he had previously played to a standard guitar. Eventually, Reinhardt played a bespoke guitar with an extra-wide fretboard; Reinhardt used the first cutaway guitar, with a scalloped body, to enable him to play the highest notes up the neck. His instrument had a specially shaped sound hole—a sideways D like a cartoon frog’s mouth—to make the bass notes

thunder; it was about as loud as an acoustic guitar could be. “Like a church on Sunday morning,â€? one guitar maker says of the Reinhardt-style SelmerMaccaferri guitar. While Django is the well-remembered face of the Hot Club, violinist StĂŠphane Grappelli was just as important, according to Torff, who has toured with him. Torff has been in our area previously, playing with George Shearing and the San Jose Symphony. He will be among the performers celebrating Django’s centennial with a tour that leads from Kennedy Center in New York to the small yet sacred Kuumbwa. The ensemble on this tribute show includes guitarist/violinist Dorado Schmitt and his son Samson, along with renowned violinist Pierre Blanchard and ace accordionist Marcel Loeffler. Schmitt is one of the most celebrated players of jazz manouche, Gypsy jazz. He’s a striking figure who resembles Django, with his debonair moustache, pointed chin, high cheekbones and half smile. “Dorado is a great technician on the instrument,â€? says Torff by phone from New York, “but he’s not overly technical. Not every virtuoso makes contact with the audience, but he does. I love working

with Dorado. He’s one of the best guys I’ve heard. And he’s got his own ideas, he’s doing his own thing.�

The Road to India Schmitt appeared in key scenes in Tony Gatlif ’s 1993 movie Latcho Drom, playing his guitar at the annual May festival honoring the Romany’s patroness, St. Sarah la Kali; her statue stands in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, a small French town where the Rhône hits the Mediterranean. Gatlif made a point in his unnarrated documentary. The source of jazz manouche can be traced a long ways away, both in time and space; it’s a road that leads all the way to India’s Rajasthan. One can hear India in the Hot Club’s notes: the same roots can be felt in the throb and drone of Hungarian violin and in the repetition of Andalusian arpeggios. Over the years, Gypsy jazz went in and out of style. Grappelli weathered the rockdrunk 1960s playing violin at the Paris Hilton. When he made his 1973 London appearance with guitarist Diz Disley, it revived interest in the Hot Club’s music and led to a Carnegie Hall date. (For

that matter, Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks brought newbies to the sound through the manouche-ish hit “I Scare Myself.�) Manouche jazz never went silent, though. Charles Delaunay noted that the Hot Club’s music could be heard “in the jukeboxes of Texas, in the cinemas of Chile and on the radio networks of Cairo or Saigon.� “It’s a very joyous, ebullient sound, and people just love that spirit,� says Torff.

Legends Torff ’s recent memoir, In Love With Voices, is a salty yet humble account of playing alongside luminaries like Dizzy Gillespie and Benny Goodman. Torff also describes of the problems and rewards of teaching jazz; he currently teaches appreciation for the music at Fairfield University in Connecticut. Born in the Midwest, Torff studied at Berklee and had a turbulent apprenticeship with Harlem pianist Mary Lou Williams. Torff was also apparently the last bassist to play live with Erroll Garner. The bass player writes of his first encounter with Hot Club music, seeing ¨ %

1=D3@ AB=@G 5G>AG A=C: Grappelli at Carnegie Hall in the early 1970s. Later, he was hired to accompany Grappelli on tour. The partnership lasted an aggregate of four years; the friendship lasted longer than that. To prepare to play bass for Grappelli, Torff writes that he “made a desperate attempt to learn every tune ever written in musical history before Meet the Beatles.� He met Grappelli in a budget hotel room, where the rest of the band was hanging out. Clad in a bath towel, Grappelli brought out his violin and played “I Can’t Give You Anything but Love,� giving Torff a chance to follow. “I do not like rehearsing,� Grappelli added, concluding the audition on the spot.

‘Not every virtuoso makes contact with the audience, but Dorado does. He’s one of the best guys I’ve heard.’ Grappelli’s career lasted decades, and yet his legend isn’t as bright as Django’s—likely because he didn’t die young or generate scandals. Torff notes that “Grappelli behaved himself and showed up on time, so he didn’t make good copy. He was a natural. It was like watching Michael Jordan. You think, ‘He’s got it; don’t know what it is, but it’s there.’ He was an effortless musician on violin and piano, and I never saw him strain once. I love and respect Django, but StĂŠphane was an equal master, and you can ask any jazz violinist, and they’ll tell you the same thing.â€? One incident about the relative fame of Reinhardt and Grappelli turns up in Torff ’s book. “StĂŠph always had a good sense of humor about . . . his love/hate relationship with Django . . . whom he would often have to fetch from a bar or a pool hall just as he was about to perform. Sometimes onstage he would announce to the audience, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, we would like to play a composition by my dear late partner, Django Reinhardt.’â€? “Then,â€? Torff continues, “this

charming, dear and grandfatherly elder man would lean over to me with a smile on his face and whisper in a voice only I could hear. “That [pussy].�

The Set List Django died early, at age 43, of a stroke. The last “Djangology� recordings, made 1949–50 and released as The Indispensable Django Reinhardt, collected almost all of the 50 tunes recorded by Django, Grappelli and some Italian session musicians. It shows the musicians conversant with bebop. Django’s lateperiod experimentation with an electric guitar also suggests that he was looking toward the future. Says Torff, “Django was always seeking something else. Unfortunately, some Djangophiles imagine him encased in ice like a wooly mammoth. He wasn’t like that. Nothing’s pure; we’re all seeking new influences.� The Django tribute at Kuumbwa, Torff notes, is “probably going to include ‘Minor Swing’ and probably ‘Nuages.’ In addition to the typical Hot Club thing, we’ll do some original tunes, likely Dorado’s song ‘Bossa Dorado.’ ‘Souvenirs’—ah, we’re probably doing that. At some point, there’ll be a bass feature—likely the song ‘Manhattan Hoedown’ I did with George Shearing. Every show is different. We don’t call the tunes, and we don’t have a format, just like it was with Grappelli. Whatever is happening in the dressing room, we’ll bring it to the stage.� In concluding, Torff urges jazz students to go back to the roots of the music, to try to spend time with the stillliving innovators of jazz. “There’s something unique there. And that’s not to say there aren’t some American musicians who play it well. But jazz comes from the black Baptist gospel church, and you’ve got to go back to that or you’ll sound like a voyeur, a tourist. It’s the same thing with the Gypsy jazz. It’s deeply embedded, it is their blues. Dorado Schmitt is one of those people who did live on a caravan and did start playing a guitar at about 3 years old around campfires. The audience will be able hear those traditions in Dorado and his son, Samson. And I’m sure Samson will teach his son, and it’ll go on and on.�

THE DJANGO REINHARDT FESTIVAL is Monday, Jan. 25, at 7 and 9pm at Kuumbwa Jazz Center, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. Tickets are $25 advance/$28 door (7pm) or $20 advance/$23 door (9pm), available at www.kuumbwajazz.org or 866.558.4253.

others involved in the affair were still mad about the whole series of events. “I hope Andrew Weil is ashamed about what he did,� said Paul Lee, sitting in his backyard in Santa Cruz, California, in the spring of 2008. “He is the top guy on my list to punch out if I ever meet him. He was a spy for the administration. He went around interviewing people, including me, then reported it to the administration. I told him things candidly and in confidence and he betrayed me. He submitted my interview to the authorities. That was dirty pool. He was just out to get fame by doing in Leary and Alpert.� Speaking over the phone last week, Lee briefly reflected on those days. “It was an odd assemblage, Alpert and Huston,� he told me. “Huston was an important critic of the whole thing, and he was good at it.� When it comes to Weil’s role, Lee says now, almost 50 years later, he’s relieved that the story is finally being told. He’s getting his revenge. “Now I don’t have to punch him out when I see him. Or pull his beard real hard.� Both Lee and Robert Forte—another current Santa Cruz resident—were instrumental in trying to get Leary’s son Jack to reconcile with his estranged father as Leary lay in his deathbed in 1996. Jack hadn’t seen his father in years. Forte accompanied Jack Leary on the plane to Los Angeles in order to see his dad, and Paul Lee paid for the flight. But things didn’t go well when son met father. “We were hoping that they would reconcile, or that Jack would at least show up,� Lee recalls in the book. “I’m

not sure it really worked. It was pretty frigid. Tim was pleased to see him, but Jack was real stiff.â€? All in all, instead of a straight-up journalistic approach, Lattin chose to write the book as creative nonfiction, noting up-front that most of the dialogue is his “renditionâ€? of what was actually said in conversations. Going against his innate journalistic instincts, he claims he re-created the dialogue based on other folks’ memories of what went down. In any event, the book successfully highlights the synchronistic arrival of four now-legendary figures at Harvard and how their interrelations provided some of the initial conditions for the large-scale chaos that the ’60s became. The result is a characteristically nonlinear history, and Lattin tells it the way it should be told, highlighting the interconnections between the nodes and exploring avenues just for the sake of exploring. And speaking of exploring, in the last chapters Lattin shares with us that the idea for the book started because he himself was newly sober and needed to do some self-renovation. “So, in the end, perhaps this book is about me,â€? he writes. “It might also be about you. It’s the story of four men whose lives provide a kind of master narrative—a template through which some of us may hear our own stories and, in the process, learn a little something about ourselves.â€? DON LATTIN reads from ‘The Harvard Psychedelic Club’ on Tuesday, Jan. 26, at 7:30pm at Capitola Book CafĂŠ, 1475 41st Ave, Capitola. (831.462.4415)

1/B16 / 0CHH A BANJO SENSATION, two different national fiddle champions and a hammered dulcimer prodigy combined to form the Bee Eaters and have proceeded to astonish audiences and breathe new life into the world of stringed music. This group of young adults has a grace and elegance beyond its years, yet is refreshingly original. The rolling banjo, surging dulcimer and a cello and fiddle seemingly strung with heartstrings combine to form a sound that has resonated with critics and thrilled fans of the New Acoustic musical genre. Tonight their beautiful blend of innovation and tradition benefits the Community Music School of Santa Cruz. (Brian Harker)

THE BEE EATERS perform Thursday, Jan. 21, at 7:30pm at New St. John’s Episcopal Church, 125 Canterbury Dr,, Santa Cruz. Tickets are $10 advance/$15 door and available at 831.426.9155 or by emailing shelley@communitymusicschool.org.

0==9 /A ;327C;( 6=:27<5 E7B66=:27<5 B3FB Books don’t have to be imprinted with words; images and textures can also express complex ideas within the confines of two covers. More than two dozen artists explore the concept in a show at the Mary Porter Sesnon Art Gallery. Co-curated by book artist and Rydell fellow Felicia Rice and gallery director Shelby Graham, the exhibit runs through March 6. Reception Wednesday, Jan. 27, 5–7pm at Sesnon Gallery, Porter College, UCSC. Free. 831.459.5667.

;/72 B= :/AB WHAT HAPPENS when a bunch of guys who have been all over TV and radio just want to hang out and drink and jam in their spare time? And then what happens when those same guys, who have known each other for 25 years, finally decide to put out an album together? That’s the story of Maids of Honor. After years of private parties in a Santa Cruz studio, the group eventually whittled itself down to four dudes: former Smash Mouth guitarist Greg Camp, Survivor celebrity Lex van den Berghe, ex-Skycycle bassist Kelly Castro and John Barrett—all of whom have been around the block more than a few times. Tonight they throw a party over the hill celebrating the release of their new self-titled CD. (Gary Singh)

THE MAIDS OF HONOR CD RELEASE PARTY is Saturday, Jan. 23, at 9pm at the Blank Club, 44 S. Almaden Ave., San Jose. Tickets are $10. (408.29BLANK)

River Blues ‘The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond’ is lesser Williams, but Ellen Burstyn has a showstopping moment 0G @716/@2 D=< 0CA/19

T

HE 1920s-era anti-heroine of The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond is named Fisher Willow; this is the most alluvial name since James Joyce’s Anna Livia Plurabelle. No surprise that Fisher (Bryce Dallas Howard) is drawn to the Mississippi River to sit and take good long stares at its majesty. Like the river, she tends to go crazy and jump the banks. Furthermore, her family name has been skunked by a river-related incident. Her father’s attempts to save his own crop by dynamiting a levee south of his land killed some farmers. (The incident is staged, badly, right at the beginning of the film.) To cope, Miss Fisher parties hearty, dancing by herself at juke joints and coming home in a roadster at dawn. She has spent time away from the Delta in Europe, where she gathers famous names to drop. The heiress to two fortunes, she could have any man who could stand the scandal. Fisher’s real interest, however, is the dirt-poor scion of a once famous line: Jimmy (Chris Evans, useless in the part), whose grandfather was a governor, whose mom is in the madhouse and whose father (Will Patton) is the kind of stage drunk who always carries around a halfempty bottle of whiskey. Fisher feels that Jimmy will clean up good if she slaps a tux on him. However, Jimmy may be poor but he has principles, and Fisher’s unorthodox behavior may be too much for him. Actress-turned-director Jodie Markell is a Southerner. Adapting this neverfilmed screenplay by Tennessee Williams (intended for Elia Kazan, but events intervened), she delivers a great deal of surface on a low budget. The Louisiana locations, captured by Giles Nuttgens (The Deep End, Bee Season), are just what you would expect from this top-drawer cinematographer. He gives us riverbank

reveries and moonlit cloudscapes and a haunting subjective view of an opiated Halloween party. He also deserves credit for getting Howard to look so unusually interesting. The tousled brown wig and the air of unnerved sleeplessness make her stand out in ways that she hasn’t in previous films. But 50 years in cold storage was no loss for the script. The arias and crescendos you look for in Williams aren’t here, except, that is, for some shivery passages with Ellen Burstyn. She plays a stroke-paralyzed invalid with balled fists, wasting away in her bedroom: “A chamber of horrors,� as Burstyn’s Miss Addie calls it. Markell takes a crazy risk that works; she puts an actual theatrical spotlight on the actors in the scene Howard and Burstyn share. We stop to take in a monologue about how Addie had lived in “the tolerant Orient,� far away from the cotton fields. Addie reaches out to Fisher for a mercy killing: “I could resume my travels . . .� This sequence shows Fisher’s unconcern for societal strictures, even the stricture against killing. What it really shows is that this retrieved script had some stirring moments in the midst of a crisis we can’t feel for: first, the problems of a brittle, snubbed and very wealthy woman who hates the South but can’t live anywhere else; second, the problems of a woebegone kid, too highminded to be a gigolo even to a woman who looks like a million dollars. THE LOSS OF A TEARDROP DIAMOND (PG-13; 102 min.), directed by Jodie Markell, written by Tennessee Williams, photographed by Giles Nuttgens and starring Bryce Dallas Howard, Chris Evans and Ellen Burstyn, opens Friday at the Nickelodeon in Santa Cruz.

B63 0:7<2 A723 (PG13; 126 min.) The film focuses on Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron), who overcame homelessness as a teenager to received a football scholarship to the University of Mississippi and later played in the NFL. Oher succeeded with the help of a wealthy Christian couple, Ole Miss grads Leigh Anne (Sandra Bullock) and Sean Tuohy (Tim McGraw), who took Oher in and made him a part of their family.

(R; 118 min.) Denzel Washington stars as the usual wanderer on the usual postapocalyptic wastes. The Hughes brothers’ Bible-flogging apocalypso could be read as a Western, but it’s a monomaniacal one. Washington underplays the part of a soft-spoken drifter who deals with a vicious yet zany town boss (Gary Oldman). The film is blessed with actors (Tom Waits, Michael Gambon and a probably synthesized but touching Mr. Bigglesworth cat), but the movie has this pious streak that can’t be overcome. Scriptwriter Gary Whitta, as in the IMDb sentence, “Gary Whitta was editor of PC Gamer for several years,� seems to have retrofitted this film from a video game. In the end, it’s hard to overlook the arbitrariness of what survives (sunglasses, high-powered ammo, Hummers, lingerie, cicadas, the Transamerica Pyramid) over what doesn’t (common sense, humans’ unique ability to invent and band together). (RvB) 0@=93< 3;0@/13A

(R; 135 min.) A sleek, twisty mystery, illuminated by the stunning PenĂŠlope Cruz, the new Pedro AlmodĂłvar is also a sprawler. The James M. Cain–style plot involves a blind film director from Madrid (LuĂ­s Homar). After losing his sight, the filmmaker took the ballsy new name “Harry Caineâ€? and became a writer. News of the death

of a corrupt tycoon sends Caine back to confront unfinished business—to retrieve the moment 16 years previously where he lost both love and sight. The dead tycoon in question, a cuckolded millionaire named Ernesto Martel (JosÊ Luis Gómez), unwillingly shared the love of Caine’s life. Lena, known as Magdalena, was an actress, secretary and part-time prostitute who took as her working-girl name Severine. She, of course, is played by Cruz. No one but Almodóvar knows how to make Cruz really fascinating. (RvB) 1@/HG 63/@B (R;

119 min.) Crazy Heart gives Jeff Bridges a belly-baring role, with his slit-eyed country singer Bad Blake as a kind of Bad Lebowski, a morose sweet-talking satyr drinking his way to the grave. On tour in his ancient 1978 Chevy Suburban, he meets a former Oklahoma newspaper reporter, Jean (Maggie Gyllenhaal). What truly concerns Jean is the influence this charismatic wreck of a man will be on her young son. Robert Duvall, who coproduced, plays a clean and sober bar owner in Houston who is also Bad’s mentor. Ultimately, it may be that Bridges is more fun to watch as a drunkard—his Bad has a hostile, coolly funny mean streak that goes away when he gets dry and sensitive. (RvB)

set up their stand in the streets of modern-day London at its vilest, trying to lure patrons in to a world beyond the doctor’s mirror. On board is his daughter, who doesn’t know that she has been promised to the devil on her 16th birthday; Mr. Nick (Tom Waits) is sniffing around already. During their travels, the group rescues a hanged man named Tony (an irresolute Heath Ledger). Certainly, Gilliam’s love for antique theater is true— although the greasepaint and cardboard make one wonder why he didn’t stage this story instead of filming it. (RvB) 7<D71BCA (PG-13; 143

Based on John Carlin’s book Playing the Enemy, Clint Eastwood’s film tells of South African president Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman) exhorting the South African Springboks to greatness in the Rugby world cup as a public-relations move to heal the racial divisions.

Federico Fellini’s 8 1/2

(1963) is boiled down to a musical series of celebs in pushup bras. An Italian film director, Guido (Daniel DayLewis), has announced an ambitious new film project. But Guido has no idea what the film is going to be, and the time to start shooting is coming up. Director Rob Marshall (Chicago) has calmed the camerawork down—he’s previously been an addict of fast cutting to make a group of mostly nonsingers and nondancers to look like lightfooted showstoppers. But only Marion Cotillard, as Guido’s much-spurned wife, delivers a number that leaves an aftereffect. As Guido’s mistress, PenÊlope Cruz is edible (if slightly self-conscious) sliding down a satin banister. Nicole Kidman is the pedestal girl, inserted into a strapless evening gown that makes her look like a single arrow in a quiver. Kate Hudson is the Yank journalist who only pays attention to the surfaces of Italian film. What we see in Nine is not an artist in peril of his soul; what we’re really seeing in these musical fantasies is essentially the problems of a creatively blocked choreographer.

early-1960s novel, canonical in gay literature but slightly dusty today. A British professor (Colin Firth) teaching in L.A. loses his longtime companion in a car accident and has decided he can no longer stand the pain. He finds some consolation with a hard-drinking old friend (and ex-lover) called Charley (Julianne Moore); on his route, he encounters young men who are both interesting and interested. Noteworthy as a great comeback performance by Firth, who has had much substandard work to deal with lately. Firth plays George with sensitivity and grace, and a sense of the era that most of the performers here lack. Director Tom Ford shows his roots as a fashion designer, focusing on surfaces. The clothes don’t make the men. (RvB) A>G <3FB 2==@ (PG;

who shows signs of morphing into Cameron Crowe. Bingham is a hired terminator—a man brought in to fire people; he tolerates this job with benefits of an executive life with plenty of travel. Enter a young, seemingly equally callous rival (Anna Kendrick). Having this inexperienced girl along interrupts Ryan’s regularly scheduled no-strings flings with a fellow constant business traveler, Alex (Vera Farmiga). The acrid first half is the best part—Clooney makes us admire Ryan’s gamesmanship. The film wants us to equate two different kinds of toxicities—to draw a line between the corporate bloodletting that juices up stock portfolios and the wrongness of the present-tense sex life that Ryan and Alex enjoy. Too bad that Farmiga and Clooney are such a scintillating pair that you don’t want to see them pay the piper. (RvB)

lived. As Victoria, the lovely and suitably aristocratic Emily Blunt is the best part of this story. Treated with brutal overcaution and surveillance by her mother, the Duchess of Kent (Miranda Richardson), and her friend (perhaps with benefits) Lord Conroy, the girl is kept locked up and escorted down all stairs as if she were a brittle-boned child. When she grows older, her cousin Albert (Rupert Friend) comes to court, and this starts a romance, tainted with scheming by the power in Albert’s family, the perfidious Belgian king (Thomas Kretschmann). Director Jean-Marc ValÊe slows things down and smooths over the complexities of history; matters get simplified to the point where it seems like nothing is going on in the world outside the problem of Victoria trying to get some time alone with Albert.

Nick is determined to get next to her at all costs—even if it means creating the identity of “François Dillinger,â€? a kind of Big Lots version of the breezy heel Belmondo played in Breathless. Small-scale mayhem follows in Francois’ wake. Based on a self-published novel by C.D. Payne, Youth in Revolt invokes numerous local sites, from Ukiah to Santa Cruz (though for budget reasons, the movie was shot in Louisiana and Michigan). The writing is so crisp that one ignores the incidents of dead air and the jokes that fail to build. Despite a nod to computers at the beginning, this is a film that carries out its scheme of rebel cool against a background of vinyl LPs, French New Wave references, pay telephones and a thinly veiled version of the book The Joy of Sex.

Astrology Free Will

By Rob Brezsny

For the week of January 20 /@73A (March 21–April 19): Philosopher David

A1=@>7= (Oct. 23–Nov. 21): This would be an excellent time for you to do a lot less of everything. You’re entering a phase when you can actually help your long-term goals by being less ambitious. The point is not to give up your drive to succeed, but rather just put it to sleep for a while. Let it recharge. Allow it to draw energy from the deeper psychic sources that it tends to get cut off from when it’s enmeshed in the frenzy of the daily rhythm. Do you have the courage to not work so much, not try so hard, and not push so relentlessly?

B/C@CA (April 20–May 20): I don’t mean to

A/57BB/@7CA (Nov. 22–Dec. 21): Cartoon

sound melodramatic, and I certainly don’t want to encourage you to do something foolish, but if you’ve been pondering the possibility of storming the castle, this would be a good time to do so. What exactly am I implying with the phrase “storming the castle�? Well, anything that involves a brave effort to fight your way into the command center of the empire . . . or a heroic attempt to take back the sanctuary you were exiled from . . . or a playful adventure in which you work your way into the heart of the king or queen.

53;7<7 (May 21–June 20): “Let us not underestimate the privileges of the mediocre,� wrote Friedrich Nietzsche. “Life becomes harder and harder as it approaches the heights—the coldness increases, the responsibility increases.� I bring these thoughts to your attention, Gemini, because in the next two months you’ll be in a prime position to renounce some of the “privileges� of your laziness. Please hear me out. I’m not saying that your lackadaisical attitudes are any worse than mine or anyone else’s. But there come times in everyone’s cycle when he or she has a chance to outgrow those lackadaisical attitudes so as to reach a higher level that’s both more demanding and more rewarding. This will be one of those times for you.

Have you enhanced your seductiveness in any way during the last few months? Have you been working on boosting your ability to attract the bounty you need? I’m not just speaking about your power to corral love and sex and tenderness and thrills. I’m referring to the bigger project of enticing all the resources that would be helpful as you pursue your quest to become the best and brightest version of yourself. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to ramp up your efforts.

conducted by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, there are as many people who give credence to astrology as call themselves Catholic. Believers in reincarnation are another sizable minority; their numbers equal those who put their faith in the Pope and in the planetary omens. Based on this evidence, we can safely conclude that at least some supposedly woowoo notions are no longer just for woo-woo-ers. You can’t be considered a New Age weirdo or pagan infidel if you’re receptive to the possibility that the world is exceedingly mysterious and a long way from being all figured out. That’s good news for you Cancerians. According to my analysis, your belief system is ready to crack open and allow a surge—maybe even a flood— of new data to rush in.

designed to draw out and energize your tribe’s inner feline. It’s that time in your cycle when you have a mandate to be graceful and inscrutable and sleek.

Pearce is committed to the abolition of suffering. While he acknowledges that we’ve got a long way to go before accomplishing that goal, he believes it’s possible, mostly with the help of technology. (More at http://bit.ly/ 8oTsCV.) More than two millennia ago, Buddha also articulated a vision for the cessation of suffering. His methods revolve around psychological and spiritual work. In light of your current astrological omens, Aries, I think it’s an excellent time to contribute to this noble enterprise. Your level of suffering is rather low these days, which could give you a natural boost if you set in motion some long-term strategies for reducing the pain that you experience and the pain that you cause.

D7@5= (Aug. 23–Sept. 22): “We should feel excited about the problems we confront and our ability to deal with them,� said philosopher Robert Anton Wilson. “Solving problems is one of the highest and most sensual of all our brain functions.� I wholeheartedly agree with him, which is why I expect that in the coming weeks you will be getting even smarter than you already are. The riddles you’ll be presented with will be especially sexy; the shifts in perspective you’ll be invited to initiate will give your imagination the equivalent of a deep-tissue massage. :70@/ (Sept. 23–Oct. 22): “Dear Rob: I’ve been listening to your audio messages on my laptop in my bedroom. And I’ve noticed a curious thing: My cat goes NUTS trying to get to you. She never shows any interest in the other videos and music I play. But when your voice comes on, she does everything she can to try to get into my computer, to find the source of your voice. What’s going on? Libralicious.� Dear Libralicious: Maybe it’s because in all versions of my recent Libra horoscopes, I’ve been putting subliminal messages

character Homer Simpson is on record as saying that whenever he learns something new, it pushes some old stuff out of his brain. For example, when he took a course in home winemaking, he forgot how to drive. But I don’t see this being a problem for you as you enter the High-Intensity Educational Season, a time when your capacity to find and absorb new teachings will be at a peak. If you push hard to learn new lessons, you will certainly not cause the expulsion of old lessons. On the contrary, you’ll dramatically enhance the power and brightness of what you’ve already learned.

1/>@71=@< (Dec. 22–Jan. 19): Take what you really need, Capricorn, but don’t take what you just sort of want. That’s my advice to you. Haggle with life, yes, but insist only on the specific essentials and forgo irrelevant goodies. A similar principle applies as you seek the information you crave: Formulate precise questions that will win you the exact revelations that are necessary to help your cause and that won’t fill your beautiful head up with useless data. /?C/@7CA (Jan. 20–Feb. 18): One of the musical Jonas Brothers got married last month. Up until then, 22-year old Kevin Jonas was a virgin, having long ago pledged himself to abstinence until his wedding day. At Huffingtonpost.com, humorist Andy Borowitz reported that when Jonas and his bride returned from their honeymoon, he had some shocking news. “To be honest, sex was not worth the wait,� Borowitz quoted Jonas as saying. “After we did it, I was kind of like, that’s it?� I haven’t been able to verify that Jonas actually said what Borowitz claims, but if it’s true, I must protest. How could Jonas reach such a definitive conclusion based on so little experience? Wouldn’t it be wise to consider the possibility that over time he might uncover secrets and plumb mysteries that are unknown to him in his unripe state? Learn from his apparent mistake, Aquarius. In the coming weeks, cultivate a humble, innocent, curious attitude not just about sex, but about everything. >7A13A (Feb. 19–March 20): I have a Piscean friend who does modern-day cave paintings. She hikes out to underground caverns and abandoned gold mines, where she creates murals on stony walls. Only a few friends know about her unusual hobby. She shows us photos of her work, but otherwise keeps it secret. She says it’s a pleasurable spiritual practice to offer these beautiful mysteries as a gift to the earth, without any expectation of getting recognition or money. I don’t normally recommend such behavior for Pisceans; in general, I believe you should err of the side of being somewhat self-promotional to compensate for your self-deprecating tendencies. But I do suggest that you try it in the coming weeks. I think you’ll conjure up an epiphany or two if you offer life your favors without worrying about whether they’ll be returned. 6][Se]`Y( EO\b W\a^W`ObW]\ Oa g]c `SQZOW[ g]c` ]e\ c\W_cS `SZObW]\aVW^ eWbV bVS 2WdW\S E]e- 5] VS`S( Vbb^( PWb Zg @SP`O\R5]R Go to @3/:/AB@=:=5G 1=; to check out Rob Brezsny’s Expanded Weekly Audio Horoscopes and Daily Text Message Horoscopes.

AN EXPERIENCED

Judy Ziegler GRI, CRS, SRES ph: 831-429-8080 cell: 831-334-0257 www.cornucopia.com

It’s a rare opportunity to be able to live in downtown Santa Cruz, walk everywhere, and live modestly in your own sweet home. Mobile home, that is. If you have not seen a new manufactured home, it’s nothing like the vision many of us have of low ceilings, leaky windows and cramped spaces of the older trailers. However, there is one like this if you prefer the retro feel. El Rio is a co-operative park at the top of Pacific Ave. It has a recreation room, children’s play park, laundry facilities and levee access. The monthly fees are $345 and you own a share in the park. It is ideal for singles, small families and students. Two small pets are allowed. It’s a great way to get a start on home ownership. It’s also possible that the $8,000 stimulus for first time buyers (or those not owning within the last 3 years) may apply. Most of the park residents are highly intelligent, eccentric, artistic, and enjoy the communal living aspect. Each member chooses a monthly task for an hour or two to promote the community spirit and to help care for the park. Usually there are only one or two units available but now there are 6 to choose from ranging from $85,000 to $195,000. Many offer owner financing and all will look at offers. Seize the day! If you are “Artsy” there is the art trailer, decorated with bottle caps, CDs, animal figures, and original art pieces of all kinds. The bathroom has mosaic tiling and mirrors and is definitely unusual. It also has a large workshop, outdoor seating area, and magnificent garden in a very private setting in a world of its own. Wonderful, whimsical. A place with a sense of humor. Then there is the long, long trailer which has been in the park for many years but is still holding its own. This is the least expensive unit for $85,000 and features 2 bedrooms and a harvest gold colored oven. If you like retro, it’s for you! Lucille Ball may be in it. Another offering is a nearly new home with a small office area in addition to the bedroom, lofty cathedral ceilings, and is spiffy and bright. There is excellent owner financing available and a big discount for cash, listed for $129,000. The largest home has 2 spacious bedrooms and an enormous gourmet style kitchen. A large garden area is filled with vines and fruit trees surrounded by a brick patio. High ceilings and a wide hallway make for a very spacious, open feel. Another unit has a pleasant side garden area to enjoy. Newer appliances include a stainless double door fridge and washer and dryer. The bathroom has a custom vanity, and tiling. This unit is offered for $148,000. Rather than ride out the economic storm, consider an investment now that could provide home ownership at a reasonable cost. This is a low income park – call for income guidelines.life.

We are here to help. Best wishes to all!!
