B63 C A @31=@2 IT WAS very interesting watching our politicians try to figure out how to respond as Hosni Mubarak’s rule was challenged. He’s been a loyal ally for 30 years, after all. We’ve given him and his regime lots of money, military hardware, training and other good stuff. Hillary Clinton touted him as a friend. Some suggested he should stay or at least be involved in helping transform Egypt into a democracy. And yet there had to be praise for a movement to establish freedom and democracy. That’s what the United States wants for the rest of the world, isn’t it?

Let’s take a look. Here are a few of the democratically elected leaders our government has helped overthrow: Mohammed Mossadegh (Iran, 1953), Jacobo Arbenz (Guatemala, 1954), Patrice Lumumba (Congo, 1961), Salvadore Allende (Chile, 1973), Jean-Bertrand Aristide (Haiti, 2004). Here are a few of the many dictators and brutal regimes we’ve supported: The Shah of Iran (Iran), Fulgencio Batista (Cuba), Rafael Trujillo (Dominican Republic), Anastasio Somoza (Nicaragua), P.W. Botha (South Africa under apartheid), Mobutu Sese Seko (Democratic Republic of Congo), Augusto Pinochet (Chile), Saddam Hussein (Iraq) and Hosni Mubarak (Egypt).

After Mubarak acceded to protesters’ demands, President Obama spoke glowingly of the uprising and the new day dawning for Egypt. After. Moss Henry,

THERE HAVE been so many celebrations of Ronald Reagan’s 100th birthday a person might easily forget how he attempted to go around Congress with the Iran-Contra scandal. Or that he persuaded people to vote against their own interests by selling us on the “trickle down� economics theory, resulting in the first of many exorbitant tax breaks for the wealthy and beginning the first serious assault against the middle class. Or how about the way he promised less restrictive care for mentally ill people, resulting in the emptying of hospitals all over the state, only to later proclaim that, in fact, there was no money for their care. Guess by “less restrictive care� what he really meant was your new home is a sidewalk. But he was such a likeable guy, wasn’t he?

Soda Bill

The Central Coast’s man in Sacramento pops big soda’s bubble 0G TESSA STUART

T

TO MAKE a point to the assembled crowd at Marina’s Monterey Bay Science, Education and Technology Center last Friday, Assemblymember Bill Monning recalled a commercial that reached 111 million viewers on Super Bowl Sunday. The ad showed a Latina woman holding a liter of soda, asserting herself in bold defiance of forces that would try to tell her what she could or could not drink. PepsiCo paid $3 million for the 30-second spot; Monning invoked its as an example of the aggressive campaign soda manufacturers are waging for a particular demographic. “They are targeting minority communities because that’s where we have the more abundant consumption,� he told the crowd.

Monning was holding a press conference to introduce the public to his newest bill, A.B. 669, or California’s Sweetened Beverage Tax Law, a measure that would impose a 1-cent-per-ounce tax on sugarsweetened drinks—sodas, sports drinks, sweetened tea and energy drinks—sold across the state. Diana Jimenez of the Northern Monterey County chapter of the League of United Latin American Citizens, who spoke after Monning on Friday, had another image in her thoughts. “What comes to my mind,� Jimenez said while pledging her support for the initiative, “is watching a young Latino mother pour soda in a baby bottle and give that to her toddler. I think education in regards to addressing the negative effects of these drinks needs to happen in our community.�

Revenue from the measure, which product away from the consumer. It could be as high as $1.7 billion annually, starts to price it equivalent to the public would fund nutrition education health consequence that it’s creating,� he programs meant to counterbalance said. “People will still be free to choose corporate advertising to low-income this, hopefully in moderation and not and minority communities, combating consuming it as a diet staple.� epidemic rates of childhood obesity, He also told the crowd last Friday diabetes and heart disease. that “we need to expand access to The assemblyman held the Super healthy foods and healthy food Bowl commercial up as one of the alternatives.� To that end, he has ways in which soda companies are recruited the support of Second actively targeting minorities, but it is Harvest Food Bank and other also an example of the overwhelming community health organizations to opposition faced by healthy eating provide nutritional education to food initiatives like Michelle Obama’s stamp-eligible groups. Among them are national childhood health campaign, Salud Para La Gente in Watsonville, “Let’s Move;� chef Jaime Oliver’s Dientes Community Dental Care in “Food Revolution� campaign (funded Santa Cruz and the Central California by a $100,000 TED grant); and now, Alliance for Health (CCAH). A.B. 669. Alan McKay, executive director for Measures of this kind have been CCAH, spoke specifically to the tax seized upon as an example of free issue. “If we’re going to talk about choice vs. government interference taxes we have to realize that there is and incurred the wrath of conservative a hidden tax associated with chronic pundits. Rush Limbaugh, a critic of illness that every taxpayer carries.� He “Let’s Move,� recently touched off a added that his organization provides firestorm by suggesting that Michelle support for more than 118,000 lowObama was a hypocrite, and fat, income individuals on the Central after she was spotted eating ribs; in Coast, at an annual cost of $250 million. December Sarah Palin brought cookies In supporting the bill, McKay says that to a Pennsylvania school in defiance “we have a great opportunity to lower of a bill banning junk food in lunch that cost and improve quality of life by lines that she called “the nanny state taking steps to improve nutrition.� run amok.� A.B. 669 also faces tough California’s Sweetened Beverage questions from progressives about Tax Law is expected go into hearing whether it constitutes a regressive in March or April, after the ongoing tax, meaning it disproportionately budget crisis is resolved.

Gone Native Santa Cruz style isn’t a look, it’s a process

5

PERCHED on the western edge

of the continent, at the sweet spot between north and south, Santa Cruz catches a multitude of currents swirling through the stylistic universe. This year for our fashion issue we explore three unique Santa Cruz looks arising from this fertile cultural meeting place: the DIY buckle-andfeather chic that takes its cues from the tepee-dwelling forebears of 1970s coastal California; hip-hop style adapted to Santa Cruz pride and sporting unmistakably local humor; and upscale fashion with a defiantly playful twist entirely appropriate to the Santa Cruz worldview. Thanks go to all the photographers, stylists and models who put time and effort into this project, and to shopkeepers who loaned us clothing; all names are listed in the detailed captions included on subsequent pages. ´B`OQW 6cYWZZ ¨

Three crucial items to have in a season of strong yet feminine styles 0G JESSICA LYONS

WOMEN wear the pants this season. OK, so they also wear flirty lace dresses and bold, Aztec warrior princess necklaces. But first: pants, big pants. From full, fluid trousers to high-waist flare jeans, the spring/ summer 2011 silhouette is long and loose. It has a powerful, in-control attitude, helped by its natural pairing with tall wedge platforms, which add height and length. Stovepipes and jeggings, begone! One look to try: high-waisted flare denim with a white linen blouse, woven belt and chunky platform sandals, wide-leg trousers with a stylish trench or even a flowing jersey jumpsuit. Pants aren’t the only big, long bottoms to sport for spring and summer, either. Skirts, too, reach

new lengths as hemlines drop. As maxi dresses were to last summer’s boho-chic set, maxi skirts are so this season. For those who want to show a little more leg, good options are a calf-length skirt or a long skirt that’s either slit or sheer. Indeed, the ’70s is the go-to era for hemlines and pant silhouettes, so fashionistas will be looking to Farrah Fawcett and Diana Ross for inspiration and pairing disco attitude and accessories with mega-maxi pants and skirts. Floppy felt hats work well, too, and all things macramÊ and crochet, which, brings us to our next must-wear: lace. A little lace dress will be a staple for spring and summer, and also a good carryover piece for fall. It’s ultrafeminine, like its sister trends

sheer and floral, which are also big this season, but it’s infinitely more complex. Lace can be fun and flirty, girlie or seriously sexy. It can take the shape of something rather prim and Victorian or delicate and romantic. One example: an antique-style white lace dress paired with chunky wedge heels to ground it and keep the look from going too girlie. More daring types will skip the slip or wear black lace—or combine the two: a below-the-knee black lace sheath with vintage-inspired high-waist undies and a cone bra, preferably in a bright, vivid hue. Lace does beachy well, too, as in lace-mini-over-borderline-bellbottomjeans or super-short denim cutoffs, or even as a casual but-elegant coverup thrown over a bikini between sunning and sipping cocktails, preferably from an ocean view patio. As with the other two trends, our final pick for spring/summer fashion is decidedly feminine yet powerful: a fierce necklace. Big pants, while they may be soft and fluid, are, well, pants, and by their nature project a take-charge attitude—especially these pants. Even lace this season is more womanly and strong than the usual peek-a-boo girlie stuff. This season’s accessory-in-chief takes the tribal jewelry trend and turns it up a notch. Take anything ethnic or natureinspired that looks handcrafted by South American or African artisans and go big with it. Leather, rope and heavy metals are good choices, as are lots of coins and earthy stones— tiger’s eye, obsidian, hematite, coral, even freshwater pearls. Wood and even feathers work, so long as they are paired with heavy beads or metal so they look more warlike than ethereal and fanciful. The necklace should have a thick collared shape to it and can be worn on top of a minimalist, high-neck top or on bare skin with a maxi dress for maximum impact. Be inspired by the warrior goddesses of the ages and wear the attitude with the fierce necklace. Remember, though, this is a statement piece, so keep other jewelry to a minimum. The look is proud Aztec princess, not over-thetop drag queen. As with the other two trends, it’s fashion that gives a nod to the past while expressing who we are and who we want to be.

From Aptos High prom to the set of ‘Mad Men,’ Tiffany White’s vintage sensibility has always made a splash 0G TESSA STUART

A

AMC’s MAD MEN is all about image. Don Draper, played by a rakish Jon Hamm, is an advertising executive whose specialty is convincing the rest of the world to buy whatever he is selling—even the identity he’s taken pains to craft, leaving out less desirable details of his past. Form follows function: the show’s creators have been heaped with praise, and more than a few awards, for the pitchperfect slice of the 1960s they create and serve up to fans each week. The clothes, in particular, have caught the imagination of audiences and attention of the fashion world—designer Michael Kors has cited it as an inspiration and retailers Bloomingdale’s and Banana Republic have done massive tie-ins with the television show. Like Draper, Tiffany White’s job is to craft an image, but she is drawing from her past instead of fudging it. She combs costume houses on the show’s behalf, an exercise not all that different from what she was doing as a senior at Aptos High, when she wore a 1950s swing coat rented from

EXTRA SPECIAL ‘Mad Men’ costumer Tiffany White (seated behind desk with hands out) tries to give all the show’s background characters believable identities—even without lines. Closet Capers on Soquel Avenue to the prom. Only now she gets paid for it. White dresses Mad Men’s background characters, the women who oat around the outskirts of the frame answering phones at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, sitting at tables in restaurants or passing the main characters on the street—the subtle notes that imbue the show with the distinct avor audiences have come to know and love. White started in the industry as a shopper for Disneyland’s Parade and Light show. Impressed with Janie Bryant’s work on HBO’s Deadwood (for which Bryant snagged an Emmy award), White began pursuing the woman who would go on to become Mad Men’s designer before the show even existed.

“I got her contact information and just emailed her and was fairly persistent—without being stalkerish or weird—but, you know, every few months I would check in and we had a couple really nice conversations, and when Mad Men came up she called me.â€? White says. White worked as a production assistant in the costume department for the show’s ďŹ rst season, and later became background costumer for seasons two through four.

Character Study What’s an average day on the set of Mad Men like? Well, White says, there isn’t one. “Some days I’m pulling, some days I’m shopping, some days I’m on set.� “Pulling� is a term used to describe selecting items from costume houses

that could potentially be used for the show. White explains: “There are these big, huge, gigantic warehouses of costume rentals that tend, for the most part, to have period or specialty clothes,â€? she says. She’ll rie through their stock in semimethodical fashion. “If I need a 1940s nurse, then I’m going to be very speciďŹ c, but if I have a cocktail scene in the 1970s, then I’ll just pull anything that I like, or that I think is going to be good, or that will read well on television.â€? It’s the perfect job for the UCSC grad, who was active in theater and studied psychology, because she gets to create whole characters from clothes. “Say we’ll have 25 women in a restaurant on Mad Men. I try to make it look real by making those women into characters,â€? White says. “I try to think, ‘Who is this woman? Is she married? Is she rich? Is she

23 / 3 m a r c h 2 - 9, 2 0 1 1 S A N T A C R U Z . C O M

poor? Is she out on a date?’ Whatever it is, I try to think of what her lifestyle would be based on whoever walks into my ďŹ tting room.â€? It doesn’t always work out perfectly. “You look at their body, go ‘Oh, they would look amazing in this dress,’ but then you put the dress on them and they are so overwhelmed by it, there is no way they could carry it off.â€? The right outďŹ t will be a match on multiple levels, White says. “I try to base it on how those people are, how they really would function in those clothes. So if I put this dress on this girl I want her to bring that dress to life—for her.â€? As White describes it, costuming is a kind of chemistry. “You have an appreciation for everything. If I’m pulling cocktail, I love ’60s lamĂŠ. Even though it’s disgusting and awful and I would never wear it in my personal life, for the show it’s amazing because that’s what people wore—or mohair, or that sort of stuff.â€? When it’s done right, the mix of person and piece and place and time can create something that is greater than the sum of its parts. That is certainly true in the case of Mad Men, which has become a cultural phenomenon. From Michael Kors and Prada to Thom Browne and Peter Som, its inuence is felt on runways so regularly that a term, “the Mad Men effect,â€? has been coined to discuss its prevalence. White is attered. “I think it’s really a compliment to the costume department and certainly a compliment to the designer, Janie, who is a very, very talented lady,â€? she says. Bryant unveiled her own clothing line inspired by the show, called MOD, Feb. 26 on QVC. What may be more fun for White than seeing designers do her job is seeing fans of the show do it themselves. “I’ve been to a couple Mad Men cocktail parties. I go and I’m like, ‘Oh, that is so not the ’60s, but OK, good for you, you really tried!’ That’s really fun—to see people get excited about period clothes.â€? 0

FATHERS & SONS Jonny Lang is featured in the Santa Cruz Blues Festival’s all-star tribute to Jimi Hendrix.

The Hendrix Factor SC Blues Fest honors legend

S

ANTA CRUZ Blues Festival organizer Bill Welch consistently books top-ofthe-shelf talent to headline his annual Memorial weekend blues party. Following up previous headliners such as Buddy Guy and B.B. King, Welch, who also owns Moe’s Alley, has one-upped himself with a revolving cast of blues players each of whom could credibly top the bill on his own. Saturday night’s lineup culminates with Experience Hendrix, a threehour tribute to the incendiary Jimi Hendrix that features his sideman Billy Cox, Jonny Lang, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, the North Mississippi Allstars Duo, Los Lobos’ David Hidalgo and Cesar Rosas, Steve Vai, Aerosmith’s Brad Whitford, Living Colour, Ernie Isley, the Slide Brothers, Mato Nanji from Indigenous and more. It’s no small feat to get that kind of marquee-topping star power on the same stage for one night. “Getting all these guys’ schedules in order during prime touring time is pretty phenomenal,� Welch says. More than a serious booking coup, the set is an opportunity for Welch to pay tribute to the player that influenced him to pursue a career in the music industry. “Jimi was my inspiration for getting into music,� Welch says. “I saw him live when I was 14—the point where my mom would say I should have turned right and I turned left!�

0G PAUL M. DAVIS

The festival’s Saturday schedule has traditionally featured up-andcomers, and true to form the festival opens with emerging Cajun siren Mia Borders, singer/songwriter Jackie Greene and the party-starting Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue, who have become Santa Cruz favorites. Sunday’s lineup features familiar names with deep roots in the Bay Area, opening with South Bay fret wizard Chris Cain, followed by Tommy Castro, who is coming off four wins at the Blues Music Awards. The festival looks southward with an appearance by the Blasters’ Dave Alvin, debuting his new backing band the Guilty Ones. The evening closes out with what Welch describes as “the two major sounds of the Bay Area from the ’70s,� funk godfathers Tower of Power and blue-eyed soul maven Boz Scaggs. It’s a murderer’s row of performers that demonstrates that, in its 19th year, the Santa Cruz Blues Festival continues to firmly root itself in the now, looking toward the future of blues while spotlighting the players who laid the groundwork.

/<7;/: 7<AB7<1B T. C. BOYLE poses difficult questions that he knows will involve answers that are entertaining and thought-provoking—but never clear. He’s an ardent researcher and an intuitive writer. He lives in the spectrum between the two and knows better than most that man and nature are a continuum. Where one ends and the other begins depends on who’s asking the question, and that’s where Boyle starts having fun. His new novel, When the Killing’s Done, is a powerful, bleakly humorous adventure that pits Alma Boyd Takesue, a National Park Service biologist, against Dave LaJoy, an animal rights activist. Alma is fighting to preserve the natural species on the California Channel Islands by killing off the invasive rats and pigs introduced by humans; Dave is determined to preserve the lives of all animals, natural or invasive. They’re both fighting for the same utopia, but they have rather different ideas as to how that perfect society might work. Getting there involves a fair amount of dirty tricks and escalating violence. But Boyle’s poetic evocation of destructive storms off our coast is a powerful reminder that the earth itself is capable of violence. The hairless apes cowering in flimsy shelters can offer only a pale imitation. Boyle takes us into the minds and the lives of those apes, and the fun comes when we realize we’re looking in the mirror. We’re the ultimate invasive species. Boyle is just as fun in person; he’s every bit as darkly hilarious and entertaining as his novels. He’s wicked and smart, a force of nature who revels in the humor he finds by embracing opposing points of view. He’ll make you think, make you laugh and then, When the Killing’s Done, make you wonder why. (Rick Kleffel)

It’s becoming an overused comparison, but Jake Smith, also known as the White Buffalo, sounds a lot like Eddie Vedder. He has a rugged, massive voice that he has to rein in to wrap around a song, his lyrics are emotional and passionate and the Vedder-esque kicker is that he rocks the super-tight vibrato that makes Vedder fans swoon. But all parallels aside, the White Buffalo is an immensely talented singer, songwriter and guitarist who is making a big name for himself in neo-folk, country and underground-roots circles.

Like the legendary Oakland-based funk ensemble Tower of Power, the Bay Area’s Beaufunk brings to the scene a bass-and-horn-heavy mashup of R&B, soul, jazz, funk and blues and tosses into the mix a heaping serving of New Orleans get-down. Joining forces with the sultry and sensational Tammi Brown, who can sing the sad right out of a ballad then set the joint hopping with a house-shaking dance number, Beaufunk is bringing the spirit of Mardi Gras to Santa Cruz with their tight grooves, dance-all-night energy and New Orleans funk appeal. Don Quixote’s; $10; 8pm. (CJ)

There’s a timelessness and authenticity to the blue-eyed Southern soul of J.J. Grey that transcends mere throwback. Grey’s bourbon-soaked baritone is infused with the grit of the Deep South, and his backing band provides ace accompaniment that is thoroughly steeped in old-school R&B, swamp blues and country rock. These are common influences for contemporary Southern rockers, but Grey produces alchemy with them, setting aside bombast or cliche in favor of limber and soulful stomps. Grey’s latest release, Georgia Warhorse, is the work of a one-time precocious mimic who has come into his own, aware of the rich musical traditions that inform his style but in command of his own voice. Moe’s Alley; $15; 8pm. (Paul M. Davis)

6=CA3 =4 4:=G2 This Pink Floyd cover band comprised of veteran Bay Area musicians uses 21st-century technology to re-create the complete Pink Floyd experience of the therapeutic trip both for those who never got to see the original band live and for those wanting to relive musical history. At some shows, House of Floyd plays original setlists from actual Pink Floyd concerts; at others, they perform custom House of Floyd mixes. House of Floyd’s repertoire ranges from Piper at the Gates of Dawn all the way to The Division Bell. Although Dark Side of the Moon may be an allusion to lunacy, the listener doesn’t have to be crazy to be captivated by timeless psychedelic overtones. Rio Theatre; $25 adv/ $30 door; 8pm.

>=@B3@ @=07<A=< It looks like the 18-year-old electrohouse music phenom from Chapel Hill, N.C., is skipping a lot of school to tour North America, but Porter Robinson is maintaining a 4.0 GPA in

his senior year. This weekend brings him to Santa Cruz, where he will spin intense, energy-rich tunes for a slammin’ dance floor. Robinson, who produces his own sounds and has collaborated with Canadian DJ Lazy Rich, got heavily into electro house at age 15; since then, he says, he’s gained experience with live performances and disc jockeying. His music sounds good, he looks good and the bass feels good, too. Catalyst; $19; 8pm. (MW)

:7H 1/@@=:: Fiddler Liz Carroll has the unique distinction of being the first Americanborn musician to receive a Grammy nomination for playing traditional Irish music for Double Play, her 2009 duet album with ex–Solas member John Doyle. The prestigious nod, however, is just one of many awards that Carroll has racked up, including fellowships, master status and Library of Congress induction. Her energetic style, dazzling technique and celebrated compositional skills have placed her among the finest in her field and established her as one of the great ambassadors of contemporary Celtic music.

The latest incarnation of his New World Sinfonia allows him to indulge his wideranging musical interests, providing a fitting rhythmic and melodic backdrop for his textured harmonies. Di Meola has worked with some impressive players in his time, but he says the current Sinfonia is the best group of musicians he’s ever assembled. Kuumbwa; $28 adv/$31 door; 7 and 9pm. (PMD)

27@BG 2332A The Heartless Bastards show no mercy at Moe’s Alley on Tuesday.

There’s a garage-blues element to the Heartless Bastards’ sound that is reminiscent of former labelmates the Black Keys, with a sensibility and energy that recalls ’90s indie rock and punk. As the band has matured, its sonic palette has opened up to include acoustic elements, but the Heartless Bastards never lose sight of the primal simplicity that is their best asset. Moe’s Alley; $12; 8:30pm. (PMD)

Film Capsules <3E THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU (PG-13; 124 min.) Matt Damon plays a charismatic U.S. Senate candidate who falls in love with a ballet dancer (Emily Blunt) after a chance meeting in a public restroom. Damon’s character is never meant to meet the woman again, but to the chagrin of the Adjustment Bureau, a group of shadowy agents whose job it is to assure everything goes according to a set plan, the pair manage to run into each other once more. Together the couple must evade the agents if they have any hope of being

together in spite of destiny’s official plan. Written by Phillip K. Dick. (Opens Fri at 41st Ave, Riverfront Twin and Green Valley.)

BEASTLY (PG-13; 95 min.) Reasonably amusing redo of Beauty and the Beast. Manhattan preppie Kyle (Alex Pettyfer) insults a goth girl witch and is transformed into a scarred creature until some other lady declares love for him. It starts out like a young-readers version of American Psycho, complete with white-on-white-on-white luxury furnishings, but then it turns into a nouveau fairy tale with too much time on

SHOWTIMES

its hands. As a blind tutor, Neil Patrick Harris lazes around like David Wayne in an old MGM musical. Former Disney pixie Vanessa Hudgens plays Lindy, the neo-hippie beauty compelled to live with “Hunter� (Kyle’s beast name). Grossed by Bulgari jewels, she loves Hunter S. Thompson, Che and Machu Picchu—this makes for an agreeable sequence of building an urban greenhouse out of salvaged materials, as well as an equally charming scene at the school where a loudspeaker calls out, “Bus for Machu Picchu now leaving!� Lines like that make director/ writer Daniel Barnz potentially

someone to watch, but he’s got to cinch up and salt the slower material. The witch herself, Kendra, is played by Mary-Kate Olsen (!) in various guises, with a little crescent tattoo around one eye like a German dueling scar. She’s costumed as a ghoul Louise Brooks, a dead Faye Dunaway and an eldritch Stevie Nicks. The potential twist this material needs could have been Hunter/Kyle falling for her: once you’ve had the dark side you never go back.

ED WOOD (1994) A biopic starring Johnny Depp as the prodigious American screenwriter, director, producer, actor, author and editor. Directed and produced by Tim Burton; Sarah Jessica Parker, Patricia Arquette, and Bill Murray play supporting roles. (Plays Thu 8pm at Santa Cruz 9.) THE HOUSEMAID (Unrated; 106 min.) A Korean erotic thriller about an au pair who becomes entangled in a love triangle with the married upper-class couple that employs her. The film, which was nominated for the 2010 Cannes Film Festival’s highest honor, is a remake of a 1960s Korean film by the same name. (Opens Fri at the Nick.) THE MUSIC NEVER STOPPED (Unrated; 105 min.) Based on neurologist Oliver Sacks’ case study “The Last Hippie,â€? the film follows a father, Henry, as he struggles to help his son, Gabriel, who has developed a massive brain tumor. After the tumor is successfully removed, it becomes clear that Gabriel’s ability to create new memories has been permanently damaged. That’s when the family pursues an unorthodox rock & roll music treatment to help him recover. (Plays Tue 7pm at Del Mar.) NIXON IN CHINA (Unrated; 220 min.) This week’s encore presentation of The Met: Live in HD is a production of John Adams’ 1987 opera about President Nixon’s 1972 trip to China. The three-act opera relates the anticipation of the trip, Pat Nixon’s tour of rural China and experience of the country’s propaganda system, and the couple’s last night in the country, which is spent dancing the foxtrot with other foreign dignitaries. (Plays Wed 3/2 at Santa Cruz 9.) NORA’S WILL (2008) Released in Spain under the title Cinco DĂ­as Sin Nora, the film centers around Jose, who has just learned that his ex-wife Nora has committed suicide. Before bidding adios to this cruel world, Nora devised a crafty plan that obligates Jose to take care of her funeral arrangements. Things go awry

when the rabbi informs Jose that, due to Passover, his exwife’s body cannot be buried for at least five days. (Opens Fri at the Nick.)

RANGO (PG; 107 min.) In an animated film about the perils of trying to fit in, a pet chameleon called Rango (voiced by Johnny Depp) is a little out of his depth when he escapes his terrarium home and ends up in the Wild West. Rango quickly becomes the sheriff of the town of Dirt, but struggles with the consequences that his new life has on his sense of self. Also featuring the vocal talents of Isla Fisher, Bill Nighy, Abigail Breslin and Alfred Molina. (Opens Fri at 41 Ave, Santa Cruz 9, Scotts Valley and Green Valley.) SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON (1960) In the classic live action Disney film made all the more timely by recent pirate activity in international waters, an industrious Swiss family is en route to New Guinea when it is chased into a squall by a swashbuckling crew of outlaws on the high seas. Shipwrecked on a deserted island, the family proceeds to construct the most awesome tree house in film, or any other, history. When the pirates storm the island, the family’s ingenuity is further put to the test as the members mount an insurgency. (Plays Sat and Sun at Aptos.) TAKE ME HOME TONIGHT (R; 97 min.) In a film loosely based on the thumping Eddie Money ’80s party anthem of the same name, a brother and sister team (Topher Grace and Anna Faris) grapple with what to make of their postcollege selves. On Labor Day weekend 1988, they attend a party together; she gets a marriage proposal and he tries to trick the girl of his dreams (Teresa Palmer) into liking him by pretending he works at the at the estimable Goldman Sachs instead of the factually accurate Suncoast Video. (Opens Fri at Santa Cruz 9 and Green Valley.)

@3D73EA ANOTHER YEAR (PG-13; 129 min.) As suffused with harmony as a great work of Asian art, alive with the wit and compassion that have made Mike Leigh a master director of comedies. It’s a study in dichotomy: an aging, hard-working couple (Ruth Sheen, Jim Broadbent) in the

suburbs of London contrasted with the life of their highmaintenance friend Mary (Lesley Manville). If Another Year is a four-paneled study instead of a wide canvas like Secrets and Lies, the figures are deep and well conceived, perhaps idealized but not sweetened. (RvB)

BARNEY’S VERSION (R; 132 min.) Director Richard J. Lewis’ version of Mordecai Richler’s 1997 novel skews melodramatic and inappropriately touching. Setting the novel aside, though, Lewis’ comedy is an unusually intelligent and sarcastic film. Paul Giamatti is the Barney in question, a harried but wealthy Montreal TV producer. Barney’s three marriages—to Rachelle Lefevre, Minnie Driver and Rosamund Pike—were catastrophes of different varieties. As this artist of the perfect squelch, Giamatti is bracingly cast, and one can’t imagine anyone else in the part. (RvB) BIUTIFUL (R; 147 min.) In Barcelona’s Santa Coloma district, Uxbal (Javier Bardem) has learned that he has stage-four prostate cancer. His estranged wife, Marambra (Maricel Ă lvarez), is a promiscuous bipolar case who is too close to Uxbal’s brother, Tito (Eduard FernĂĄndez). His two children are growing up neglected. Seeing the end in sight, Uxbal works night and day. The beauty of anything but rot is either missing or bruised in director Alfonso GonzĂĄlez Iùårritu’s film. There is no fun for the poor in a neighborhood IĂąarritu rhapsodizes about, neither in color itself nor in sex. At a strip club, with mutant dancers decorated with extra nipples on their asses, Biutiful goes beyond its belabored world-is-a-ghetto point right into straight disgustorama. (RvB) CEDAR RAPIDS (R; 86 min.) (R; 86 min.) Michael Areta’s comedy—his best—comes out in favor of the pleasures of the flesh. Based on a robust script by Phil Johnston, the film chronicles the transformative dirty weekend of a meek Wisconsin insurance executive, Tim Lippe (Ed Helms). The Best Westernish business hotel in Cedar Rapids looks like Xanadu to him, and there he meets a team of fun lovers: square but friendly Ronald (Isiah Whitlock Jr.), a playful mom who is comfy

in a government official who learns about their advanced biotechnology. The film, which highlights themes of xenophobia, was a sleeper hit with audiences in 2009 and was nominated for a slew of Academy Awards, including Best Picture. (Plays Fri and Sat at Del Mar.)

with her sexuality (Anne Heche, excellent) and the life of the convention, Dean Ziegler (John C. Reilly). Reilly, who seemed at first to be headed for Rod Steiger roles, did a 180-degree turn to become one fantastically adept comedian (Walk Hard, Step Brothers). His Dean is beautifully obscene, a rare example of a coarse jackass who brings hilarity to every gesture, every unprintable under-the-breath comment. (RvB)

THE FIGHTER (R; 115 min.) Road-crew laborer and striving boxer Micky Ward (Mark Wahlberg) of Lowell, Mass., has been training all his life with his elder halfsibling, Dicky Eklund (Christian Bale). One little problem with the elder half-brother’s work: he’s a hopeless crack addict. One evening, Micky meets a weary bartender, Charlene (Amy Adams), Charlene is tough enough to fight off Ward’s overprotective family: a gaggle of seven highhaired, sharp-nailed sisters, mothered by Alice (Melissa Leo). Wahlberg, a child of a family of nine, couldn’t have been better cast. Bale has to jump around a bit more; this is not his milieu or his accent, and his acting gets a bit more flamboyant. As the generic title indicates, this is a boxing film, and director David O. Russell has to depend on some necessities of the genre, including the slo-mo, sweat-splashing punch to the jaw. As usual in a boxer’s biopic, the height of the career arc, the narrowness of the victories and even the size of the opponents are exaggerated. If the facts are slightly fast and loose, so, blessedly, is Russell’s direction. (RvB) I AM NUMBER FOUR (PG-13; 104 min.) This 4 on a scale of 10 kids’ sci-fi movie has a “based on the Scholastic Book Service novel� vibe. Teen warriors from outer space live among us, tattooed for some reason with figures that look like graphics from an Asteroids video game; they’re hunted by pig-toothed villains with open sinuses, and meanwhile we pitiful earthlings are ignorant of it all. Way too much Gough and Miller in the script. Some signs of Marti Noxon’s hand on the script in the arrival of a female battler played by Teresa Palmer. The stiff, callow lead, Alex Pettyfer, and the strikingly pretty Dianna Agron

bssbohjoh!ijt!fy.xjgfĂ–t!gvofsbm!jo!uif!Tqbojti!Ă&#x;mn!Ă•OpsbĂ–t!Xjmm/Ă– (as the old-school Kodak-film fancying girl the alien meets) were an off-screen couple, but you’d never know it. Hard PG violence goes badly with the kid-safe tone. (RvB)

THE ILLUSIONIST (PG; 80 min.) It is a pretty thing, but can you call The Illusionist Jacques Tati? Sylvain Chomet directs this animated feature based on an unproduced script by the auteur of M. Hulot’s Holiday and others. Compared with Chomet’s The Triplets of Belleville this new film seems underpowered and faint. It’s hard to make an entire movie out of wistfulness. Tatischeff (Tati’s real name) is an aging stage magician who holes up in a theatrical hotel with other smalltimers. But Tatischeff has company: a young girl who believes that his conjuring tricks are authentic magic. The cityscapes glow enchantingly; the tinted melancholy seascapes show that if 2-D animation is really on its way out, Hayao Miyazaki won’t be its only pallbearer. (RvB) THE KING’S SPEECH (R; 118 min.) Colin Firth gives a deeply affecting portrayal of a shame-wracked man born and bred to be a spokesman, yet who is handicapped with a crippling stammer. In the 1930s, Firth is the Duke of York, a family man with two daughters and a wife named Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter). The stammering Duke, known to his family as “Bertie,� is the official spare to the heir, next in line

to the Prince of Wales. A superlatively cast Guy Pearce embodies this Edward’s upper-class shadiness and monstrous entitlement. The Prince is the love slave of a twice-married American named Simpson; his affair and his indifference to world troubles are pushing events to a constitutional crisis. The man tapped to solve it is Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush), an Australian speech therapist tasked with helping the Duke find his voice on the eve of England’s entry into World War II. Rush’s wit and nimbleness counterpoints this story of majesty, which is almost exactly as tragic as it is comic. (RvB)

NO STRINGS ATTACHED (R; 108 min.) Street credless but not so bad romcom is a strong comeback for Ivan Reitman, despite how he stalls it out with delays and uncomfortable slang. Can we believe that Natalie Portman is a beautiful L.A. physician who works like a maniac and wants a sex life with no demands? Why not. Can Ashton Kutcher play Adam, a likable but not brilliant aspiring TV scriptwriter who lucks into meeting the demands of the abovementioned Emma? Naturally. Can both of these statuscrossed lovers be linked by issues about their respective fathers, which would give them a lack of trust? Simplicity itself; Alvin’s dad here is a former ’80s sitcom star played ably and wickedly by Kevin Kline. (RvB)

OSCAR NOMINATED SHORT FILMS, ANIMATED (Unrated; 85 min.) A screening of the five films in contention for this year’s Academy Award for Best Short Film, Animated. OSCAR NOMINATED SHORT FILMS, LIVE ACTION (Unrated; 106 min.) A screening of the five films in contention for this year’s Academy Award for Best Short Film, Live Action. UNKNOWN (PG-13, 113 min.) Another version of a plot that could be described this time around as “The Gentleman Vanishes.â€? Liam Neeson, arriving in Berlin, loses his attachĂŠ case and his memory, and finds himself battling against an international plot. Oh, for the days when Berlin was sinister. Director Jaume Collet-Serra sniffs around the city seeking the scent of fear. There are a few diverting Fritz Lang moments: a fight in a bomb-struck hotel, a stint at a scary clinic and the ruined, ultracynical visage of Bruno Ganz as an ex-Stasi detective with a nasty cough. The film tries to get us into the spirit of what Ganz euphemistically describes as “the good old days,â€? but when we’re zoning out on the streetscapes, it’s all too clear that Berlin is now the capital of a wellscrubbed, prosperous and efficient nation. Neeson is certainly tough enough, weary and mystified; Diana Kruger is a fine gamine as the taxidriving good girl. As Neeson’s wife, a rigid January Jones is to the Hitchcock blonde what Unknown is to the Hitchcock movie. (RvB)

UCSC graduate ;W`WO[ DWQb]` already has almost three years of learning the food and beverage biz at Red under her belt. “Artfully crafted beer is a big movement,â€? she notes, handing me a snifter of deep chocolate-hued India Pale Ale (yes, IPAs can be dark) loaded with toastiness and creamy depths. Victor has helped to create some of the famous beer and food dinners at Red’s sister restaurant, 515, in an effort “to spread the word that beer is not only a sophisticated drink, but that it goes very well with food,â€? she explains. Victor started checking out the making of the world’s oldest beverage several years ago at C\Q][[]\ 0`SeS`a. And after arduous on-the-job training at Red, she is ready for the next step —to take a special exam next month in San Francisco to become the equivalent of a sommelier in the beer world. So what does it take to become a cicerone? “There’s a three-hour written exam,â€? she begins, showing me a notebook bulging with details about techniques, origins and qualities of the world’s bewildering array of beers. Then Victor and other candidates will undergo blind tastings in which they will have to identify whether there are aws in a given brew and if so, what kind and how they occur. They’ll have to identify styles such as pilsner, lager, porter, stout or ale. Finally, there’s a 15-minute oral exam about proper serving techniques. When she completes the rigorous test, Miriam Victor will hold a rare honor in “a movement dominated by men.â€? She hopes one day to become a certiďŹ ed Master Cicerone. Stop by Red and wish her luck!
