Goo Fighters Remember the A76B? It’s baack! Not the actual invasive flying pest, of course—it never left. But the fervent brouhaha sparked by the light brown apple moth over a community’s rights to keep state agencies from spraying pesticides is rearing its head once again. Two years ago, the city of Santa Cruz successfully sued to keep the 8Va^[dgc^V 9ZeVgibZci d[ ;ddY VcY 6\g^XjaijgZ from using planes to drop pesticides over Santa Cruz County in its effort to eradicate the moth. Now a group calling itself EZdeaZ 6\V^chi 8]Zb^XVa IgZheVhh is hoping to go one step further with an ordinance that would make it illegal for nonlocal governments to use any pesticides whatsoever on Santa Cruz soil without the blessing of her people. But why now? 9^X` 6cYgZ of PACT says the CDFA is in its dark lair as we speak, hatching more devious plans to rain poison on the land. “Talking to people, they always say, ‘I thought you already stopped the spray,’� says Andre. “The truth is, we stopped them in that instance, sure. But they can still come in and do ground spraying, or tie toxic twist-ties in the trees or use guns to shoot pesticide ‘splat goo’ on telephone poles and trees.� Andre’s efforts at getting the Santa Cruz City Council to approve an outside agency pesticide ban, however, may be doomed. A 1984 pre-emption law bars local governments from overriding the state’s power to spray pesticides where it sees fit. Santa Cruz Councilmember 9dc AVcZ, in fact, says he has reviewed Andre’s proposal with Santa Cruz City Attorney ?d]c 7Vg^hdcZ and concluded that such a law would be a magnet for expensive lawsuits. “My initial impression is that no, [such a law] couldn’t hold up,� says Lane. Andre says he wants the city to pass the law anyway, if only to test CDFA’s willingness to take on Santa Cruz again. “If the state sues, the city could easily just rescind the law,� Andre says. Lane’s not buying the tactic, which he says could sour residents who expect real results. “My sense is that the council is very interested in the issue and wants to do something,� says Lane. “I’d just like to have more confidence that if we draft something it would have an actual legal impact.� Whatever happens, since its 2008 victory over the CDFA, Santa Cruz has earned a reputation as a David who defeated Goliath. Now, counties from Monterey to Marin are watching closely to see if it can pull off another upset. “Everyone is looking to see if Santa Cruz will stand up to the state again,� says Andre. “I think that we can.� —Curtis Cartier

So Long, Sapone On Feb. 5, Santa Cruz Deputy Police Chief EViin HVedcZ turned in her gun and badge

for retirement, leaving as the first woman to be promoted all the way through the department’s ranks. “There was no me when I started,� says Sapone. “Back then there were policemen who were paid more and had more status, and there were policewomen who were paid less and had less status. Now, no one is the slightest bit surprised to see a female officer serving alongside them. In fact, I think the community demands it.�

‘There was no me when I started. Back then there were policemen who were paid more and had more status, and there were policewomen who were paid less and had less status.’ Santa Cruz City Manager 9^X` L^ahdc is one of the few city employees who can claim to know what Santa Cruz was like before Sapone wore blue. Wilson, who was hired in 1979 and recently announced his own retirement at the end of July, remembers her as an “extraordinary trailblazer� and says she’ll be sorely missed. “She’s part of an elite group of people,� says Wilson. “She’s patient, a good listener and can deal effectively between the city and the police department. She’s been very much a positive force in Santa Cruz.� —Curtis Cartier

Also that night, Santa Cruz Vice Mayor GnVc 8ddcZgin will be presented with the Tony Hill Award for leadership and social justice. The award is named for the Santa Cruz civil rights activist and local basketball referee who died in 2007. —Curtis Cartier

Tiger, Tiger, Burning Bright It’s relationship fireworks, fights and nonstop drama in the Year of the Tiger 0G 83AA71/ :CAA3<6=>

T

HIS YEAR, Valentine’s Day happens to fall on the same day as the Chinese Lunar New Year, so while Westerners are holed up in dim restaurants or sobbing softly into their pillows at home alone, the Chinese will be out blowing shit up and ringing in the Year of the Tiger. Naturally, we had to wonder what year 4707—according to the Chinese calendar—has in store for love. We put it to Chinese astrologer, feng shui consultant and author Susan Levitt in San Francisco. Answer: It’s going to be hot and sort of nuts. “Tiger, passion, rawrrr,â€? Levitt growls. “There will be a lot of impulsive ‘I woke up drunk, what happened?’ a lot of ‘You love me, you love me not.’ Which can be exciting, but it’s also very volatile.â€? We’re coming off the year of the Ox, which is a slower spirit, and Tiger is a breath of fresh, albeit frenetic, air. That means lots of extremes, risk and capacity for disaster, which can all ¨ # lead up to one thing. “Infidelity,â€? says Levitt.

The year’s element is metal, which also translates into a penchant for fighting—wars tend to break out in the year of the metal Tiger, both globally and domestically. Santa Cruz feng shui expert and owner of Shelter for the Soul Pamela Ticoulat says that those in relationships have to be mindful about arguing too much and cautious of gossip. “We have to be very careful with our tongues this year,� she warns. Well, some tongues will be put to good use anyway, especially Horses, Dogs and Pigs, who love the Tiger, and will fare quite well in love with them. Rabbits, Rats, Dragons, Roosters and Snakes, on the other hand, will be more apt to sit this year out. Monkeys absolutely hate the Tiger. “Some people should go for it, others should build on the foundation from Ox year: don’t blow it,� she says. “Wildest dreams can come true in Tiger year. They can also crash.� If the year of the Ox was a dud, Levitt advises paying off personal debts and doing a vigorous house cleaning to clear out stagnant chi. Ticoulat says the north is a lucky direction in love this year, so a bedroom in the north part of the house or

a north-facing bed might get things heated up. Placing things in pairs in a bedroom is also a handy tip for those wishing romance into their lives. The Chinese would opt for a images of pairs of Mandarin ducks, she says, but any bird will do. Now, our minds also wandered naturally to an entirely different type of Tiger: the lying, philandering, no-good cheatin’ kind. A quick Wikipedia search reveals that Tiger Woods was actually born in the year of the Rabbit. Ticoulat just sighs. “I have three Rabbit friends who have been going through divorces last year,â€? she says. “They had no stars to support them. Rabbit did not have an easy year last year.â€? Indeed, Rabbits are known to have big sex drives, and they also talk too much (remember the “Hey, it’s Tigerâ€? voicemail?), but Ticoulat says that the stars have shifted just enough that Woods may be able to resolve his, ahem, issues. Really? In a year ruled by infidelity and fiery emotions? “Well, he has to be careful about people gossiping about him,â€? she concedes. “He has to be careful about what he says.â€? 0 ¨ %

Tips From Tigers Lessons on love from the animal kingdom 0G B@/17 6C97::

H

UMANS having made such a mess of things, it’s natural to suspect animals know something we don’t about almost everything. So in honor of the cosmic alignment that has the Year of the Tiger beginning on Valentine’s Day, we turned to the animal kingdom to see what wisdom we might glean from the swimmingf lappingprowling set on the subject of love. As it turns out, not much. The “tigers� of the kingdom animalia are either thuggish brutes or unprincipled weasels in the sack (or on the sac, as it were). But study of their mating habits did yield some useful examples of what not to do when pursuing a human mate: DO NOT make sweet love in the springtime in the middle of a mountain biking trail at Wilder Ranch. The endangered Ohlone tiger beetle has tried, and it doesn’t work out well. From as early as January through late spring, this fierce little predator mates and lays its eggs in open spaces amid the grasslands in five Santa Cruz County locations. That means trails, and trails mean bikes, and bikes mean certain death when you’re a centimeter long.

DO NOT underestimate the powers of an androgynous rival. According to National Geographic, male tiger salamanders sometimes impersonate females in order to sneak in and lay their sperm sacs on top of another male’s. Then, in an impetuous fit of amphibious passion, the female tiger salamander slowly, very slowly, crawls over the spermatophore and picks it up, fertilizing her eggs in the process. Steamy stuff leading to heights of bliss

4C@ @3/:!!Gfmjy!qbouifsb!jt!opcmf-!cvu!

ifs!spnboujd!ibcjut!bsf!opu!up!cf!fnvmbufe/

that may be experienced only once in a lifetime: tiger salamanders have just one chance in two of mating more than once. Ever. DO NOT, like the tiger shark, play too rough. To quote Wikipedia, the process of inserting a clasper into a female’s cloaca can be violent. “The male uses its teeth to hold the female still during the procedure, often causing the female considerable discomfort.â€? We trust no further comment is necessary. DO NOT, like the tiger, engage in frequent noisy copulation over a period of several days unless, like the tiger, you’re in a relatively secluded location. Multiple daily unions with someone you just met yesterday are your business; decibel levels become your neighbors’. 0 BVS 1VSSbOV¸a A^]b ¨ &

HEN IT COMES to the business of cheating, Noel Biderman is boss. His website AshleyMadison. com—named, he says, after the two most popular monikers for baby girls— functions like any other dating site, with profiles, searches, messages and photos. But at Biderman’s site, the dating pool comes with baggage: namely girlfriends, boyfriends, wives and husbands. “We offer a good, honest affair.

Guaranteed,� says site president and founder Biderman, a husband of seven years and father of two children. “We’re no eHarmony, that’s for sure.� What AshleyMadison is, Biderman says, is a place where people can go to fulfill the needs that aren’t being met at home, a human buffet line where all the dishes know they’ll never be the main course. Users and fans say it’s a website that makes open what’s happening in secret on dating sites already. Critics say it’s an online

cesspool that breeds infidelity—a 24/7 computerized home wrecking service that should be shut down for good. Biderman says they just wish they’d thought of it first. “We looked at data that showed 30 percent of the people on other dating sites were cheating or looking to cheat,� says Biderman, speaking from his office in New York. “We thought to ourselves that all these people that are posing as single is risky. Why not

come to a community where people can confess that they’re looking to cheat and people get it? We’re creating an honest community for cheating.â€? Biderman’s “honest communityâ€? was launched in 2001 and now boasts more than 5.2 million users. A mediasavvy seeker of controversy, the welldressed, balding 38-year-old has braved the booing from audiences at The View and The Tyra Banks Show to plug his site and preach his “it’s only sexâ€? spiel. The cavalier gentlemen’s-club approach translates to the online dynamic. On the site, women play mostly for free. Guys buy “creditsâ€? that are used for sending digital “giftsâ€? to other users and accessing private data. Everyone creates a profile that lists a photo, some stats on appearance and a list of things they’re into: spanking, threesomes, schoolgirl outfits or Polynesian albinos in football pads. A juicier collection of pics and stats are available when a user sends someone a “keyâ€? that provides access to his or her “private showcase.â€? “Brie,â€? a 32-year-old wife of five years, says she joined because things just weren’t working out at home. “To me it was either this or get a divorce. And getting a divorce is more drastic,â€? says the woman, who asked that her real name not be used. “I wanted an alpha male, someone who really gets it done. I don’t think my husband suspects.â€? Brie says she met her current fling six months ago. Before that, her dalliances amounted to “kissing a few guys, but that’s it.â€? The man, she says, is older and married as well. Their dates typically consist of dinner and drinks followed by a motel room pit stop, then a long, occasionally guilt-ridden ride home to their spouses. “It can’t go on forever,â€? she admits. “It’s fun while it lasts, though.â€? And the consequences? Carol Bass, a licensed marriage counselor in Santa Cruz, says more and more patients are coming in looking to overcome infidelity and put their marriages back on track. Sometimes it’s possible to save the relationship, she says. Many times it’s ¨

not. But it usually isn’t the sex that ruins the union. It’s the lying and deceit. “When I’m working with a couple, quite frequently a person will say, ‘I had an inclination that something was going on, but my partner continued to lie, saying that nothing was going on,’� Bass says. “At that point, they’re not only damaging the relationship, they’re distorting their partner’s reality. And no one has the right to distort someone’s reality.� Bass says she won’t do couple’s therapy with a couple in which one partner is cheating until the affair is broken off, though she says she will still work individually with a cheater. Biderman, meanwhile, insists that cheating itself can be a sort of marriage therapy and that American culture puts too much importance on monogamy, which he

maintains is “against our DNA.â€? And as lovers nationwide stock up on chocolates and flowers for Valentines Day, adulterers on AshleyMadison will be stocking up on motel reservations and alibis for the day prior, a holiday Biderman heralds as “Mistress Day.â€? Either way, it’s hard to argue with the fact that philandering men and scandalous women have been around a lot longer than Biderman and AshleyMadison.com. “There are millions of people that are suffering through a sexless marriage,â€? Biderman says. “I say, don’t go visit a prostitute, don’t lie to someone else about whether you’re married or not. If you need that sexual element, come to AshleyMadison, and you can get it.â€? 0 BVS @cP 1ZcP ¨ !

‘I

DON’T KNOW if they have Valium at Target, but I will check,� read the text message. My friend Skye was at the store in search of a matching set of footie pajamas for us. “This is it,� I thought to myself as beads of sweat formed across my forehead. “We are actually going to a fucking cuddle party.� I first heard of cuddle parties from a friend who planned one as her divorce steadily approached finalization. “Apparently, it is a safe place to explore nonsexual touch,� she told me optimistically. I found myself both

intrigued and curiously disgusted as she explained the concept: A group of strangers come together in a safe space to give and receive affection. Perhaps this could be the next step in my life as an armchair anthropologist, a practice in furthering my experience in field research and an opportunity to test my own boundaries and practice saying “no.â€? Stepping into an environment so far out of my comfort zone that I might as well be visiting Pluto was both intriguing and horrifying. I needed some reassurance. ¨

The information on the front page of on the cuddleparty.com website is straightforward and nonthreatening. Yet, I couldn’t erase the visions in my mind of middle-aged pony-tailed dudes cruising for young, pretty, affirmationthumping New Age women. As I poked around the Internet, however, photos of past parties, revealing bare arms intertwining indistinguishably in a sea of flannel-pajama bottoms and overstuffed pillows, tapped into a deep fear inside of me. Thoughts of germs and cold clammy hands running lightly across my back while moaning and sighing mixed with enchanted dolphin music invoked visions of what I imagined would be not unlike an unwilling visit to a couple’s tantra retreat. My blood pressure rose. I laughed nervously. I decided that I needed to go and see for myself.

Head to Toe As we drove the streets of San Francisco, Skye already sporting his completely awesome glow-in-the-dark footie pajamas, I prayed that we would be lost for so long that they would not admit our late arrival. Being one of the most grounded and open-minded of my friends, Skye was there to calm my nerves and talk me down from the extreme anxiety I was experiencing. “I bet you 20 bucks that there are silk scarves and batik sarongs on the ceiling,� I giggled to him as we arrived at our destination. We climbed the stairs and I took one last deep breath before marching up to introduce ourselves in the futon-filled room and pay the $30per-person entrance fee. I looked up. Scarves and sarongs draped the ceiling. As I slunk down the dark hallway to change into my pajamas, a tall, lanky man, dressed in a purple satin wraparound blouse, white short-shorts and purple opaque tights approached me. He stood against my slight frame with his hand on his hip and asked if this was my first cuddle party. “Do you get an edge from this kind of thing?� he asked. “I mean, like, do you really get an edge from this?� I replied that it was my first cuddle party, embarrassed to admit that I had no idea what edge meant. We chatted for a few minutes and I decided that this guy, who was flamboyantly gay and presumably not interested in women and therefore nonthreatening, would be my new pal; my Safe Buddy, so to speak. A sigh of relief escaped while imagining my new friend and me sitting back and chatting about the silliness of the whole situation. I slipped into

the bathroom and emerged a new woman—Dani, Champion of the Cuddle Party—dressed quite literally from head to toe in a set of boy’s dark blue footie pajamas, decorated with rocket ships and glow-in-the-dark stars. Skye and I matched perfectly, and as we entered the cuddle room, we were happily greeted by 20 other guests who were sitting haphazardly in a circle on a makeshift, pillow-laden bed.

Cape and Shield We began with introductions and a brief history of cuddle parties before continuing on to rules. Despite my original assumption that cuddle parties arose from a West Coast commune after residents ingested one too many psychedelic mushroom caps, the parties actually originated on the East Coast. Founded in 2004 in New York by relationship coaches Reid Mihalko and Marcia Baczynski as a place for people of all genders and walks of life to explore touch in a safe, sober and structured environment, cuddle parties have gained popularity around the globe. There are several rules: keep clothing on at all times, be completely alcohol- and drugfree and only make physical contact after receiving a verbal “yes� to a specific and clear request to touch. There are also “Cuddle Lifeguards,� trained cofacilitators placed on-site to ensure that everyone is comfortable and safe. After recovering from the shock of discovering that kissing, groping and erections were all acceptable at the party, we quickly moved on to boundary-setting exercises that revived my confidence and led me to practice giving an abundance of verbal “nos.� I proceeded to glide back and forth through the crowded room in my celestial jammies, repeating “no� over and over to nearly everyone in the room and their requests to touch, kiss or otherwise fondle me. I felt empowered, like I was sporting an invisible cape and shield to deflect any unwanted advances with pride and dignity.

Cuddle Puddle I have had my fair share of physical and emotional intimacy. I have stumbled into intriguing and boundary-testing situations in places like Burning Man, yoga retreats, cocktail parties and even once at a Super Bowl party in my own living room. I have been strewn across a mattress in the “chill roomâ€? of a 1990s rave with complete strangers massaging my every muscle while I puffed away ¨

on menthol cigarettes. What sets these incidents apart from the format of a cuddle party is the lack of expectation, formal structure and, of course, the buffer of controlled substances. Entirely sober and surrounded by strangers, I had no way of knowing if the generous offers of hand-holding held deeper intentions. I made for the bathroom, tripping over a penis pillow on my way and rummaging through my bag for the last time in hopes of discovering one last overlooked Xanax before I sucked it up, accepted my fate and returned to poor, dear Skye, who had managed to cram his body—in full fetal position—into the smallest corner of the room. If my body language was saying “Please don’t touch me,� Skye’s read more like a serial killer ready to pull a chain saw on the first person to even look at him. His open mind seemed to have gone on strike as I squeezed into the corner with him, observing the active and diverse scene. Young polyamorous couples took turns caressing the hair of those next to them. A middle-aged, 6-foot-tall transgendered woman tangled herself up in the arms of a young, attractive South Asian immigrant man whose hands were groping the breasts of a thirtysomething yoga instructor. And just when I grew comfortable enough to accept an offer of a foot rub from a married cuddle party frequenter, I noticed my Safe Buddy, Mr. Purple Pants, groping and grinding a woman while they twisted their tongues in a fit of exhibitionist passion. (Apparently, I missed the “rule� stating that kissing, frottage and rubbing genitals are not sexual touch.) One of the rules did mention that attendees could get up and walk out at any time, but I was honestly too worried about calling attention to myself. I suddenly felt old-fashioned, boring and old. I just couldn’t let go of my inhibitions like everyone else in the room. I felt an almost palpable wall building itself up around me as the party-goers continued to push their boundaries by allowing stranger’s hands to wander and rub and caress in the most interesting ways. I was freaked and continued to nervously laugh and chat with anyone in the room who looked as horrified as I until an announcement came that the party was winding down. The facilitator invited everyone to join in for one last hurrah by piling up into a giant “cuddle puddle� for the remaining 20 minutes of the party. As Skye stood, paralyzed by the scene that played out before him, I made one last-ditch effort to open my mind. I crawled around the circle and was invited to lay my head on the

shoulder of the young South Asian man in the gender-bending three-way. I accepted and placed my head on his shoulder with my entire body on the outside of the circle, cold and constricted like an armadillo under attack. I attempted to relax into the moment. I failed.

After recovering from the shock of discovering that kissing, groping and erections were all acceptable at the party, we quickly moved on to boundary-setting exercises As we laughed and recapped the experience on our drive home, I realized that I had learned something fairly valuable during that party. While cuddle parties certainly provide the benefits of physical touch for those who may not regularly have access to affection for various reasons, I felt that this particular party was no more a practice in intimacy than the husband who refuses to be affectionate or sexual with his wife, yet forks over cash for sex or is otherwise promiscuous with strangers. The experience also confirmed in me that when it comes to affection and intimacy, I am indeed old-fashioned. I desire that sense of safety and closeness that comes from sustained relationships built on trust. And I will certainly never be attending a cuddle party again—at least, not without some hand-sanitizer and Valium on hand.

4:=G2 <=@;/< 27A<3G :353<2 As an animator and writer, Floyd Norman had a hand in some of the great Disney projects, including Sleeping Beauty, 101 Dalmations and The Jungle Book, where he came up with the kaleidescope eyes for the snake that tries to eat Mowgli. He went on to Fat Albert and Sesame Street before working for Hanna-Barbera and eventually returning to Disney to work on hits like Toy Story 2. Truly a legend, Norman gives a talk and slideshow of his work on Saturday, Feb. 13, at 1pm at Atlantis Fantasyworld, 1020 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. Free. 831.426.0158.

B6@33 1C>A =4 16/@7BG WHAT started as one man’s ambitious attempt to climb K2 17 years ago has given rise to an impassioned campaign for peace through education in rural Pakistan and Afghanistan. Greg Mortenson, co-author of the New York Times bestseller Three Cups of Tea: One Man’s Mission to Promote Peace One School At A Time, has been building schools in regions where education, especially for girls, was unimaginable. Through communitybased education and literacy programs, Mortenson’s Central Asia Institute now provides education for more than 58,000 children, including 44,000 girls. Santa Cruz’s second annual silent auction in support of the effort culminates Thursday at the Rio Theatre. More than 65 artists have donated their art, which ranges from unique tea sets by the Santa Cruz Clay Community to the funky Metal Tea-Can Collage by Leanne Salandro, and plenty of mixed media in between. The art is posted online at www.3-cups-of-tea-santacruz.com, where the bidding has already begun. Julia Bergman, president of the Board of CAI, and Lou Renner, international mountain climber, will speak at the event. (Maria Grusauskas)

3 CUPS OF TEA FUNDRAISER is Thursday, Feb. 11, at 5:30pm for art preview and silent auction, 7pm for guest speakers and 8:30pm for final bids and artwork pickup. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. Tickets $10 advance/$15 at the door. (831.423.8209)

57@: >=E3@ In her new book Girl Power, Marisa Meltzer explores the musical movement that originated with zines and riot grrrls, defined a new wave of feminism and inspired a generation of women to make their voices heard. The onetime Santa Cruz resident argues that the girl power revolution—at times dismissed as a marketing ploy—is indeed still on.

(1987) Once upon a time, teenage girls everywhere had the time of their lives when they got their world rocked by Patrick Swayze’s dances with Jennifer Grey.

There’s only one movie called Revenge of the Nerds (OK, four if you count the sequels), but there have been a hell of a lot of movies since then that could have been called that. This is one of the best ones. I mean, really, this is every music nerd’s wet dream: he’s as cool as John Cusack, as funny as Jack Black, and the thousand of useless things he knows about indie rock bands actually matter. Basically, this is a chick flick for guys—it is to geeky 18–34 males as Pretty Woman was

Pandora, where 9-foottall, blue-skinned noble savages called Na’vi live in a phosphorescent forest full of saurian beasts. Jake (Sam Worthington) is the paraplegic brother of a dead soldier hooked up to a Na’vi shell; the program is under the direction of a chainsmoking biologist (Sigourney Weaver). The politics play it both ways; letting us swoon over the military hardware and still lament for the plundered forests. If you’re going to see it, see it in 3-D. (RvB) 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. (MV) B63 0==9 =4 3:7

(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. (RvB) 0@=93< 3;0@/13A

(R; 135 min.) A sleek, twisty mystery, illuminated by the stunning PenÊlope Cruz, the new Pedro Almodóvar 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 (JosĂŠ Luis GĂłmez), 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 AlmodĂłvar 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 co-produced, 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) 23/@ 8=6< (PG-13; 108 min.) Romantic story from Lasse Hallstrom about a soldier who falls in love with a student while on leave, not long before 9/11, and the dramatic twists and turns their relationship takes over the course of several years. Finally answers the question: Does love suck? The answer may surprise you! (SP) 3253 =4 2/@9<3AA

(R; 117 min.) Scriptwriters William Monahan and Andrew Bevel have shaped this

remake of a 1985 British TV series for Mel Gibson. There’s an inside joke about the actor/director’s knowledge of Latin, for example, and Gibson’s character, Boston police detective Thomas Craven, sums up his moral stance: “Either you’re hanging from the cross, or you’re banging in the nails.� Craven is a bereaved dad, as well as judge, jury, executioner and bailiff, so he likes to do a bit of both hanging and hammering. The cop’s daughter, Emma (Bojana Novakovic), gets shot by parties unknown; Craven goes on search for the killers. The trail leads to Emma’s workplace, a sinister governmentrun nuclear facility. Craven is hindered by the plant’s operator (Danny Huston) and helped by knowing government functionary Ray Winstone, by miles the best thing in this movie. Until the final shootouts, which are brisk as firecrackers, Edge of Darkness plods through its one-clue-perscene story. (RvB)

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) B63 :=D3:G 0=<3A

(PG–13; 135 min.) Spielberg-produced supernatural thriller is an adaptation of Alice Sebold’s harrowing novel about a young murder victim who lingers between this world and the next. A miscast Stanley Tucci appears along with Rachel Weisz, Mark Wahlberg, Susan Sarandon and Saoirse Ronan. <7<3 (PG-13; 117 min.)

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 B63 7;/57</@7C; =4 been an addict of fast 2=1B=@ >/@</AACA cutting to make a group (R; 117 min.)

a success worthy of its sensationalism. (RvB) / A7<5:3 ;/< (R; 109 min.) Based on Christopher Isherwood’s 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)

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)

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 Leopold (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.

(PG; 112 min.) Michael Cera plays Nick Twisp in Miguel Arteta’s alternadate movie. Young Nick is a virgin in the leafier part of Oakland, and he can’t stand it. His mom’s boyfriend of the day, Jerry (Zach

Galifianakis), has to leave town suddenly. Jerry, Nick and the mom in question (Jean Smart) go vacationing at “Restless Axles,â€? a sad trailer park by a lake. There, Nick meets a girl who is too good to be real: Sheeni Saunders (Portia Doubleday), kept under lock and key by her parents. 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.

For the week of February 10 /@73A (March 21–April 19): “Hate leaves ugly scars,� wrote author Mignon McLaughlin, but “love leaves beautiful ones.� If I’m reading the astrological omens correctly, Aries, you’re scheduled to receive at least one of the beautiful kind of scars in the coming months—maybe even two or three. In fact, I think they’ll be such lovely booboos that they will markedly add to your overall attractiveness. Rarely if ever have you been privileged to hurt as good as you will in 2010—thanks to the benevolent jolts of love. Happy Valentine Daze! B/C@CA (April 20–May 20): In my view, 2010 is the year you should expand your world. That could mean enlarging your circle of allies or building a bigger web of connections. It might mean broadening your appeal or widening your frame of reference or opening your mind to possibilities you’ve been closed to. It may even involve extending your territory or increasing the range of your travels. However you choose to expand, Taurus, I urge you to put love at the heart of your efforts. Love should be the fuel that motivates you and the reference point that ensures you’re always making smart moves. For inspiration, memorize this line by poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning: “I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach.� In your case, Taurus, “thee� should mean the whole world. 53;7<7 (May 21–June 20): Of all the signs of the zodiac, you Geminis are most likely to thrive if you experiment with new approaches to kissing in the coming weeks. To whip up your fervor, read incendiary texts like William Cane’s The Art of Kissing. Conspire with an imaginative partner to conjure up a new kissing game or even a sacred kissing ritual. And come up with your own interpretations of the following kiss techniques: the throbbing kiss, the sip kiss, the butterf ly kiss, the tiger kiss, the whispering kiss. Happy Valentine Daze!

1/<13@ (June 21–July 22): Happy Valentine Daze, Cancerian! After meditating about what advice would be most valuable for your love life in the coming months, I decided on this challenge from poet William Butler Yeats: “True love is a discipline in which each divines the secret self of the other and refuses to believe in the mere daily self.� In other words, create in your imagination a detailed picture of your loved ones at their best. Each day, make it a point to feel joy and gratitude for their most excellent beauty and power—as well as the beauty and power that are still ripening and will one day appear in full bloom. :3= (July 23–Aug. 22): A friend of mine has woven her life together with a Leo who doesn’t fully appreciate the ways she expresses her adoration. She asked me to use my bully pulpit as a horoscope writer to convey a message to her lover, and I agreed, because I think it’s excellent advice for all of the Leo tribe this Valentine season. Here’s what she said: “Just because somebody doesn’t always love you the way you wish they would, doesn’t mean they don’t love you the best they can and with all they have.� Are you willing to consider the possibility that maybe you should take that plea to heart, Leo? I hope so, because then you’ll be able to get some of the good loving you’ve closed yourself off from. D7@5= (Aug. 23–Sept. 22): Happy Valentine Daze, Virgo! I meditated on what message might best energize your love life, and what I came up with is a declaration by author Mignon McLaughlin: “Love unlocks doors and opens windows that weren’t even there before.� In other words, the love you should be most interested in during the coming months is the kind that opens your eyes to sights that were previously invisible and that creates new possibilities you’ve barely imagined.

A1=@>7= (Oct. 23–Nov. 21): Happy Valentine Daze, Scorpio! After meditating on what advice would best serve your love life, I decided to offer you the words of psychologist Carl Jung: “The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves.� As I see it, my dear, acting on Jung’s wisdom will help you carry out your primary task in the coming months, which is to bring novel experiences and fresh perspectives to your most engaging relationship. The best way to accomplish that is not with nonstop serious talk and intense analysis, but with a generous dose of playful improvisation and experimental fun.

A/57BB/@7CA (Nov. 22–Dec. 21): To prepare your Valentine horoscope, I did a lengthy meditation on your love life. I wish I could offer you a 20page treatise on my conclusions, but there’s not enough room. So instead I’ll give you the single most important piece of advice I came up with: The coming week will be an excellent time for you to survey the history of your love life, starting with the first moment you ever fell in love. I mean you should actually stream the memories across your mind’s eye as if you were watching a movie. Feel all the feelings roused by each scene, but also try to maintain some objectivity about it all. Watch for recurring themes. Be especially alert for unexpected insights that emerge about the past. And through it all, be wildly compassionate toward yourself and your co-stars. 1/>@71=@< (Dec. 22–Jan. 19): “If I love you, what business is it of yours?� wrote Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Now I’m offering his words for you to use as your mantra in the coming months. Your main job, as I see it, is simply to be a lover of pretty much everything—to generate, cultivate, and express love in abundance—and not to worry about whether your love is reciprocated or how it’s regarded. It’s a tall order, I know—one of the most difficult assignments I’ve ever suggested. And yet I think you have the soul power and the crafty intelligence necessary to accomplish it. Happy Valentine Daze, Capricorn!

/?C/@7CA (Jan. 20–Feb. 18): Happy Valentine Daze, Aquarius! In my search for the counsel that would be of greatest help to your love life in the coming months, I decided on this observation by psychologist Albert Ellis: “The art of love is largely the art of persistence.� I hope you take that in the spirit in which I’m offering it. It’s not meant to suggest that you will be deprived of love’s burning, churning pleasures; I just want to make sure you know that your best bet for experiencing burning, churning pleasures is to be dogged and devoted and disciplined in your cultivation of burning, churning pleasures. >7A13A (Feb. 19–March 20): In 2010, you will have more cosmic assistance than you’ve had in a long time whenever you seek to increase your experience of pleasure. Do you want to get more sensual joy out of eating and drinking and dancing and listening to music? This is your year. Do you want to heighten your perceptiveness and find more beauty in the world and cultivate new ways to stimulate positive feelings and liberating emotions? This is your year. Do you want to intensify your orgasms and have more of them and learn how to use them to enhance your spiritual power? This is your year. And the coming weeks will be one of the best times in 2010 to move from charging up your pleasure to supercharging it. Happy Valentine Daze, Pisces! 6][Se]`Y( EO\b a][S W\a^W`ObW]\ Oa g]c Q][^]aS g]c` `][O\bWQ W\dWbObW]\a- 5] VS`S( Vbb^( PWb Zg :]dS/R

:70@/ (Sept. 23–Oct. 22): Happy Valentine Daze, Libra! My astrological hunch is that you’d benefit from the specific teaching that would come from exploring a three-way relationship. But wait. Don’t jump to conclusions. Here’s the form I think it should take: Fantasize that the merger of you and your lover or ally has created a third thing that hovers near you, protecting and guiding the two of you. Call this third thing an angel. Or call it the soul of your connection or the inspirational force of your relationship. Or call it the special work the two of you can accomplish together. And let this magical presence be the third point of your love triangle.
