Don’t ‘Mis’ It Last weekend, having exhausted the local holiday film fare, I was dragged, still protesting, to Tom Hooper’s Les MisĂŠrables. I had read Richard von Busack’s review of the film (“Just Miserable,â€? Dec. 26) in the most recent edition of the Weekly and was anticipating 2+ hours of tedious, overblown hooey. In the first minutes of the film, however, I was relieved by a spectacle that was obviously well-produced, and soon I found myself absorbed in the lives of Fantine, Jean Valjean, Cosette and Javert, pleased to be once again immersed in the dramatic and inspiring world of Victor Hugo’s great novel. (I confess, Les MisĂŠrables, required 8th grade reading, was my first favorite long read.) I found the casting

surprisingly excellent and the acting consistently convincing (despite singing parts, verse and close-ups that von Busack derided). The director, Tom Hooper, is to be congratulated, hopefully awarded, for bringing Hugo’s behemoth, via the stage production, successfully to the screen. The music, verse and, yes, even the close-ups heightened effects, telescoping complexity and condensing into codas Hugo’s major themes—which remained, despite the complications of the tale, in the forefront. There were not many people in the theater that evening, but those few, as the credits rolled, applauded. Hopefully, they found the film, as I did, fresh and full of heart. Sorry you missed it, von Busack! SUSAN COLLEY Santa Cruz

Take This I am deeply offended by “Take that, Mayans� (Dec. 26, page 5). Is this supposed to be funny? Who the hell do you people think you are? Mayan people never said the end of the world was coming. It’s actually Caucasians who are obsessed with the end of the word, with taking other peoples culture and doing this to it. For money. You don’t respect other people’s culture because you don’t have one. How many Mayans made money from the “end of the world� BS? None. Who put together all those books, movies, seminars, etc.? Caucasians. You should do a little more research, get the facts straight. Yes, we are still here. We are not dinosaurs, we are not extinct. We are tired of being talked about as if we don’t exist. That page you published is ignorance at its best. Accepted racism. CARLOS MENDOZA

Proving the Point “White Man’s Burden?� (Letters, Dec. 19) claimed that “This Modern World� (Nov. 14) stereotyped all white males as racist, sexist and conservative. This claim is false since the cartoon’s satire was clearly aimed at Republicans (opening with, “Once upon a time, Republicans . . .�), both male and female (mentioning both Michael Barone and Peggy Noonan), making the author’s claim yet another example of the central point of the cartoon—that many Republicans often ignore the facts and just make stuff up, from crying racism where there is none to claiming that man-made global warming is not happening.

Some pretty weird ones, it turns out. For her part, Landers recalls the time she adopted two cats when she worked at a library in Phoenix. They had been abandoned on the magazine shelves. She says a library staffer here in Santa Cruz once found a pair of false teeth being used as a bookmark in a returned book. The reports from around the country are just as strange. For example: • Katie Knight, a recently retired librarian at a Fayetteville, North Carolina public library told the Raleigh News Observer that she found dental floss used as a bookmark and a condom deposited in the book return slot, and once fielded an anonymous phone call from someone wondering if there was a warrant out for his arrest.

UP AND AWAY It often falls on First Alarm guard Guy Woodward to enforce the sitting rules outside the Santa Cruz Public Libraries’ downtown branch.

Stacks of Trouble New rules seek to address what Santa Cruz librarians deal with on the job BY GEORGIA PERRY

I

n addition to carrying on the noble legacy of the Dewey Decimal System, librarians are also the de facto stewards of everyone who uses the public library, whatever their purposes. The Santa Cruz Library Board periodically reviews its code of conduct to take into account whatever new issues are arising, whether they be hordes of boisterous teenagers swarming the Scotts Valley branch when schools let out, or local homeless sleeping for hours in the aisles of the downtown branch. The most recent revision, passed at last month’s Library Board Meeting, gave librarians permission to issue suspensions for up to a year to patrons who violate the code. Previously, they had only been able to issue 30-day suspensions and had to obtain restraining orders from the City

Attorney’s Office for anything else. “Most of the revisions [to the code] are based on staff recommendations as a result of their experiences,� explains Santa Cruz Director of Libraries Teresa Landers. “Behaviors which prevent others from being able to use the library for its intended purpose are what we prohibit,� she added. Two other proposed changes to the code—which would have restricted support animals and imposed a sleeping ban—were not adopted by the board. The former was sent back for more research, and the latter was rejected in a close vote. The sleeping ban in particular generated the most controversy at the meeting. A few homeless advocates spoke, including Gail Williamson. “Since Santa Cruz has passed so many move-

along laws, privatized public spaces and made it illegal to sleep at night, it would be inhumane to take away one of the few safe public amenities that is still free, should someone fall asleep,� Williamson told the Weekly. The code made a distinction between “dozing off for 10 minutes while reading a newspaper� and “sleeping for hours.� The homeless advocates applauded when the sleeping ban was shot down, but the two librarians present were clearly disappointed and even looked a little helpless when the resolution failed to pass. For them, it was obviously one resource taken away in a policing job they didn’t ask for, but are expected to do.

Job Hazards So exactly what kinds of things do today’s librarians have to deal with?

• Confessional website “Love the Liberryâ€? runs anonymous complaints from librarians, such as: “Man comes to the desk with a dripping wet book and claims it was like this when he got it.â€? Or, “A giant man in a t-shirt that says ‘fuck’ comes up to me at the children’s desk and asks if we have At the End of the Sidewalk by Shel Silverstein.â€? • UC Berkeley student Nadia Cho made headlines this winter with a provocative sex column in The Daily Californian newspaper detailing an afternoon of on-campus sex. “I’ve always had the clichĂŠd fantasy of having sex in Main Stacks, so we wasted no time in heading there first,â€? she wrote. A self-identified university librarian complained in the comments section of the column of having to deal with “pedophiles, thieves, and people with poor bowel function,â€? and now students using “liberal arts justificationsâ€? to have sex in the library. Blogger “The Annoyed Librarianâ€? had an altogether different and distinctly librarian-esque concern. With decades worth of “reliable sexual information in the library,â€? she wondered, “why would anyone turn to a barely post-adolescent college student for sex tips?â€? 0

Wellness IN HEAVEN, EVERYTHING IS BRINE Fermented foods like kimchi can help keep harmful bacteria in our bodies at bay.

Gut Check How fermented foods help keep us healthy BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS

F

ermented foods have been part of the human diet since long before we discovered the microscopic bacteria responsible for their production. In ancient Babylon and Egypt, vats of milk effervesced, and Roman soldiers later conquered the world on a meager diet of fermented sourdough. In the Arctic regions, Inuits wrapped seabirds inside seal skins to fester, for three to 18 months, into the delicacy known as kiviak. What we did know is that these foods kept longer than non-fermented foods, and that they seemed to do our bodies good. The list of probiotic-packed traditions goes on: Europeans discovered the phenomenon of turning salt and cabbage into sauerkraut, while fermented yogurts and vegetables

emerged in the Middle East and India. Fermented milk appears in the Maasai diet, kefir in central Asia. There’s natto, or fermented soy, kim chi, fish and soy sauce from Asia, and mashed, fermented taro root known as poi from the Pacific regions. But unless our grandparents hung on tight to their dietary traditions, many of these probiotic-rich foods fizzled out of the modern American diet. Somewhere along the line, all things processed and convenient replaced our notion of gastronomical luxury. (They, too, had a long shelf life.) As a significant if not direct connection between the flora of our intestinal tracts and our overall wellness picks up speed, however, America is reaching back to the Old World. People are brewing DIY kombucha and kefir water at home. At the Wednesday

Farmers Market downtown, Farmhouse Culture sells out of artisanal raw sauerkraut, which, unlike the industrial versions that have been pasteurized, contains essential gut-populating flora as well as cancer-fighting isothiocyanates. Clearly all of this fermentation can’t be just another fad, like coconut water and skinny jeans. But just how crucial is incorporating fermented food into our diets, and can we just be lazy and take a probiotic capsule instead? I took these questions to Soquel-based doctor Randy Baker, M.D., who began with the first eyeopening fact: the surface area of the gut is about the size of a football field. That this organ is happy, I’d say, must be pretty essential to our health. “Our bodies have about 10 trillion cells. There are about 100 trillion bacteria that live in our intestines,

probably about 500 different species,� says Baker, whose Holistic Family Medicine practice is located at the Pacific Center for Integral Health. “Overgrowth of unfriendly bacteria or yeasts can create a myriad of health problems, placing stress on our immune systems, aggravating allergies, triggering a variety of autoimmune diseases, likely increasing cancer risk, and obviously causing gas, bloating, nausea, diarrhea and constipation.� Consumption of “good� bacteria found in fermented foods keep these unfriendly bacteria at bay. And since our intestines have the largest amount of lymphatic tissue in our bodies, says Baker, they also play a much more crucial role in our immune systems than may have been previously emphasized by the medical world. “It is the main battleground for preventing harmful microbes from entering our bodies, by crossing from the intestines into our bodies,� he says. But what if kim chi and kombucha make me gag? Are the capsules effective? In a word, yes. “The sum total of improving the balance of GI flora is often dramatic,� says Baker, listing less fatigue, improvement of chronic GI symptoms, fewer headaches, muscle and joint pains, less “brain fog,� decreased allergies and a reduction in overall infections across the board. “Maybe the single most important thing to do to maintain healthy flora is to avoid the use of antibiotics unless absolutely necessary, and, if using them, to take saccharomyces boulardii, a probiotic yeast, while doing so, and high doses of probiotics and/or fermented foods during and after,� says Baker. He also recommends a high-fiber diet, since fiber ferments into short chain fatty acids—a good source for our GI flora. And he shares one piece of golden advice, again, for a different reason: “Avoiding excess sugars and simple carbs is important, as they favor the growth of yeast and some unfriendly bacteria,� Baker says. 0

I CAN’T LIVE AT HOME IN THIS WORLD ANYMORE Songwriter and UCSC grad John Craigie hasn’t paid rent in seven years.

Goes on Forever

A traveling artist with no address, Watsonville-math-teacher-turnedtroubadour John Craigie brings the Woody Guthrie tradition to indie folk BY JACOB PIERCE

W

hen John Craigie wakes up in the middle of the night, he usually doesn’t know where he is.

Depending on the lighting—or how full the moon is that evening—it takes the couch-surfing songwriter anywhere from a few seconds to a full minute to figure out whose couch he’s on. And the UCSC grad begins by trying to figure out where he performed earlier that night, or where he was the night before. “I just have to do a little bit of math and a little bit of detective work,� says Craigie, who tours nonstop—he hasn’t paid rent anywhere in seven years. “And then once you remember, you say, ‘OK, where’s the bathroom and the fountain?’ Make sure you don’t walk into someone’s bedroom.� Craigie, whose acoustic performances blend sharp observations with gentle wit, didn’t start listening to Americana music until he moved to Santa Cruz 12

years ago for school—rather like how folk hero Gillian Welch didn’t fall for folk music until she enrolled at UCSC in 1990. When Craigie was studying math at UCSC, he was something of a music student, too. He got a Fishman pickup installed in his Takamine guitar. When he left the guitar in his living room, guests and friends would sometimes paint symbols on it—a butterfly here, a woman’s face there—until it looked like an acid-influenced Donovan daydream from the 1960s. He and fellow songwriter Brett Dennen sometimes performed at the Ugly Mug, or on Union Street at the Java House, now Pono Island Grill.

The Traveler KPIG DJ “Sleepy� John Sandidge says the nomadic life on the road Craigie has since chosen isn’t easy. “It’s an incredible undertaking,� says Sandidge. Craigie’s musical style reminds him of Greg Brown,

Todd Snider and Robert Earl Keen. “Sometimes it’s long drives, and you’re all by yourself. And you’re booking shows in the future, and you’re trying to create more music, and you’re trying to keep yourself alive, and then the van breaks. It’s a very difficult life, and he’s kept such a great attitude, and it’s really the only way to do it. Like anything, you just have to beat on doors until someone opens.� Craigie’s commitment to not just playing but living on the road has earned him comparisons to Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger and Ramblin’ Jack Elliot, all artists he admires. There’s a rich tradition of troubadours in America, stretching back to the Great Depression of the 1930s, when guitar player Woody Guthrie left his family in Texas searching for work in California. Guthrie began traveling the country with unions and writing songs, slowly gaining popularity with songs like “This Land is Your Land.� 12

T H E R O A D G OES ON F OREV ER

Guthrie teamed up with Pete Seeger in 1940, and the newly formed Almanac Singers traveled the nation, performing in people’s living rooms. What would now be called “house shows� were in those days known as “hootenannies.� And instead of having a psychedelic butterfly on his guitar, Guthrie had a black sticker that said “This Machine Kills Fascists.� But a troubadour’s life is much easier now, Craigie says, with smart phones, the ability to make his own merchandise and the widespread growth of an underground music infrastructure.

‘It’s nice to play somewhere where people have seen you in all these spectrums. I like playing towns where people know I used to suck. I like to have something to prove.’ —JOHN CRAIGIE “We really can’t touch what those guys were doing,� he says. Still, he does rely on the connections he makes on the road. Like with Bonny Fleming, who for almost a decade has been letting Craigie stay at her home in Rapid City, South Dakota, whenever he plays in the area. “He pops in, but it’s like he’s never really left. He’s everyone’s friend and he’s so nice,� she says. “He’s only here

for two days a year. But when he’s here, everyone comes together to see him again. I think it’s a real testament that people will come out to see him every time.�

After Math When Craigie rolls through Santa Cruz these days, he’s a little more of an outsider than he used to be. Since he gave up his gig teaching math at Watsonville High School in 2004, he’s lived on the road and made music— seven studio albums, and he’s working on an eighth. Last summer, he did his first European tour. Santa Cruz has seen the many phases of John Craigie. “It’s nice to play somewhere where people have seen you in all these spectrums,� he says. “I like playing towns where people know I used to suck. I like to have something to prove.� He does keep coming back, often about half a dozen times a year. Last month, he opened for Todd Snider at the Catalyst, and in September he played Don Quixote’s in Felton. This Saturday he plays the Rio as part of Richard Stockton’s Planet Cruz Comedy extravaganza, which also features singer Tammi Brown and county supervisor funnyman Zach Friend. Craigie, much of whose material addresses serious subjects like death and relationships, also has a collection of happier, more fun songs like “Let’s Talk This Over When We’re Sober and Not at Burning Man.� His most requested song, “Chuck Norris’ Tears Cure Cancer (Too Bad He Never Cries)� was originally written to appease an adoring fan. But for better or for worse, the fourchord jam soon became a big hit on YouTube and left Craigie no choice but to play it almost every show. “You’ve got to love all your children,� Craigie says, “even the weird, retarded ones who don’t walk right.�

Real Roots Craigie usually uses humor as a way to draw people in. A huge fan of standup comedians Louis C.K. and Patton Oswald, he sometimes introduces his songs by telling charming stories with a fumbling

A E! ALL YOU CAN EAT Santa Cruz’s Moon Eater could definitely take the Black Keys in a fight.

Punk Side of the Moon Like an amped-up Black Keys, Moon Eater has blasted into the local scene BY AARON CARNES

A

t a recent house show, Moon Eater’s heavy-blues punk rock kept getting interrupted by power outages during their performance. When the third one hit, drummer Dustin Roth just decided to keep playing, and vocalist-guitarist Pat Crowley followed along, continuing to sing the verse. The power came back on right at the chorus. Without missing a beat, everyone jumped back in perfectly—as though it were planned. “There’s no way you could reproduce that,� Roth says. “When you play house shows, or a skate park, and you’re on the floor with the audience, there’s this connection. It’s way more intimate. You’re just sitting there in somebody’s

living room and playing your heart out. The whole crowd’s into it.� The raw intensity of Moon Eater’s sound was inspired by the immediacy of the backyard and basement hardcore shows they went to growing up in the ’90s. It’s an element they try to recapture whenever they are standing in front of an audience. “We just want to be pure energy on stage. That’s what it’s always been about for me from being in bands since I was younger,� says Crowley. Yet one listen to their debut selftitled album, which was released in November 2012, reveals more than just a full-throttle assault; there is sophistication to their sonic

arrangements. It was recorded at Audio Design Studio in San Diego with a level of detail paid to every nuance of the sound, which actually brings out their intensity rather than hampering it. Engineer Ben Moore and producer John Reis captured their thick, meaty riffs in a way that is unique for standard hardcore, rock or even metal groups, and gives it punch. “As a band, we’re really into having good tone. We have good-sounding amps, good-sounding drums,� bassist Scott Tarasco points out. While the two guitarists play bare bones ’70s garage-rock power riffs, the way they interact with one another is complex, and creates a full, consuming

sound—which is in part a byproduct of the fact that they both play slightly different parts, and that they use two different brands of amps, with different sound palettes. Crowley plays on a Marshall, which has that signature, heavy “crunch� sound, while guitarist Josh White plays on an Orange amp, which is known for its bright, punchy tone. Backed by Tarasco on bass and Roth on drums, their music, while loud and heavy, is actually much denser than most punk bands, and has greater power than other modern blues-inspired alternative rock bands like the Black Keys or the White Stripes. Yet, with all that fine-tuning on their album, the band still insists that the place they truly shine is at their live shows. “I feel like you don’t get us until you see us live, then you see the energy and everything we put into it,� says White. What makes that energy so potent is how direct and honest it is. There is nothing between the audience and the feelings the band is communicating. They aren’t married to the house show setting. They like nice clubs just as much because of how well they can showcase their tone and tight musicianship. In either setting, their music is always built around simple, basic rock & roll songwriting, which is a much more subtle craft than complex technical music. “If a band can sit down and play the same riff for three minutes and still make it interesting, and you still want to listen to that track again, that’s amazing music,� says Roth. “You can play the most simple G blues song sped up, and it’s so good. As long as you have that great vocal hook over it, nice little lead somewhere, guitar solo, it doesn’t need to be more.�

MONTEREY JAZZ TOUR

LARA PRICE & BURLESQUE

NINA STOREY TUMBLEWEED & TESS DUNN WANDERERS

In celebration of the 55th anniversary of the Monterey Jazz Festival, an all-star lineup of some of the festival’s most celebrated artists is taking the music out on the road. Vocalist Dee Dee Bridgewater, saxophonist Chris Potter, trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire, pianist Benny Green, bassist/musical director Christian McBride and drummer Lewis Nash are combining forces for a 40-city tour, including a stop in Santa Cruz, that showcases the exceptional chops of the individual artists and the inspired inventiveness that takes place when they all let loose together. Kuumbwa; $30 adv/$33 door; 7 & 9pm. (Cat Johnson)

Lara Price is best known as one of the Bay Area’s top blues singers, and she can belt a 12bar classic as well as the next blues queen. But what’s fascinating about her is eclecticism— she’s just as likely to sing something by Leonard Cohen or John Prine or the Beatles. In just the last couple of years, she’s sung soul and pop with Velvet Plum and even reggae with Militia of Love. But she’s still best experienced with this solo band, who give her the space to express all facets of her multiple musical personalities. At this show, she’ll mix it up with the Santa Cruz Sirens burlesque troupe. Moe’s Alley; $9/$12; 8:30pm. (Steve Palopoli)

Possessing a raw, powerful voice, an unwavering, independent spirit and an ability to weave through rock, soul, vocals and the blues with ease, Nina Storey has built her career her way. Her lyrical openness and fiery delivery have earned her a loyal fanbase along with much critical acclaim, and her catalog of nine titles has established her as a force on the national scene. Local wonderkid Tess Dunn has been wowing crowds with her singing, songwriting, keyboard playing and seemingly endless creative energy. In advance of their performance Saturday night at Moe’s Alley, the two are playing a short set at Streetlight Records. Streetlight Records; free; 5pm. (CJ)

Formed in 2011, Tumbleweed Wanderers quickly jumped from the coffeeshop circuit to headlining big-time Bay Area venues including Great American Music Hall and Bottom of the Hill. Based in Oakland, this band has found the sweet spot between roots and rock, layering harmonyrich folk songs with elaborate instrumentation, working them to a well-polished shine. While garnering comparisons to Fleet Foxes and Crosby, Stills and Nash, Tumbleweed Wanderers mashes up a variety of styles and influences, and emerges with something fresh and captivating. Also on the bill: local jam-rock outfit, Birdhouse. Crepe Place; $10; 9pm. (CJ)

WAKE THE DEAD There are all kinds of reasons to be suspicious of a band that bills itself as “the first Celtic all-star Grateful Dead jam band.� In the case of Wake the Dead, the first would be that they ARE the first Celtic all-star Grateful Dead jam band. The second is—well, okay, that’s probably it. But if you ever wanted to hear “Friend of the Devil� performed as a jig, I’m not going to lie to you: this is your only chance. Don Quixote’s; $15; 8pm. (SP)

A C < 2 /G j !

MONDO GENERATOR Led by bassist Nick Oliveri of Dwarves, Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age fame, Mondo Generator is a heavy, throbbing hybrid of metal, punk and stoner rock. Formed in 1997 as a studio side project the band has, despite inter- and intra-band drama, 20-plus different members and Oliveri’s, ahem, testy temperament, retained solid footing among the faithful. Its latest, 2012’s Hell Comes to Your Heart, marks the first time since a 2004 falling out that Oliveri and QOTSA frontman Josh Homme have teamed up for a song.

SLIGHTLY STOOPID Never has a band been so appropriately named. The musical equivalent of slamming a Natty Ice against your forehead, their hiphop-inflected skatepunk might be termed the lowest common denominator, though that’s insulting to both populist culture and integers. That said, Slightly Stoopid fills a niche for enthusiasts of easygoing, no-consequences rock that draws artistic inspiration from the resin that settles at the bottom of day-old bongwater. They play this show with Greyboy Allstars co-founder and saxophonist Karl Denson. Catalyst; $27.50/$30; 8pm. (Paul M. Davis)

Santa Cruz’s reigning hyphen band, Wooster plays something in between pop, rock, soul, reggae and funk. It was a shocker when their viral video for “Ooh Girl� made them big in Guam, but maybe it shouldn’t have been. Check out the breezy riffs and laid-back vocals of that song—could it have been better engineered for island listening? No, and in general Wooster’s songs have a way of dancing the listener off the mainland, into little three-minute escapes from everyday life. Moe’s Alley; $12/$15; 9pm. (SP)

New GANGSTER SQUAD (R; 119 min.) Josh Brolin is the leader of a group of vigilante cops on the trail of 1940s LA thug Mickey Cohen (played by a minion-killing, roast peacockeating Sean Penn (beaky, foreshortened and looking like a Rondo Hatton bobblehead). As Chief Parker, Nick Nolte sounds like a laryngectomy patient, though his Parker reminds us of what a racially harmonious place LA in the 1940s was by approving this mixed-race band (including a too-sensitive Ryan Gosling, Michael PeĂąa and Anthony

Mackie) to get the goods on the megalomaniac Mickey. Ultimately, trick gunplay fit to make John Woo cry meets plotting to make James Ellroy cry, vow to quit and enter the priesthood. (Opens Fri at Santa Cruz 9, Scotts Valley and Green Valley) (RvB) A HAUNTED HOUSE (R; 95 min.) Co-writer and star Marlon Wayans is a long way from the glory days of the first, ingenious Scary Movie (a franchise which, despite never having had a watchable sequel, is also returning this year). Apparently, he couldn’t even get his brothers on board for this similarly themed parody of current horror films (mainly

S H O W T IM E S

Paranormal Activity). If Keenen and Shawn are okay with the atrocious Dance Flick, but not this‌that’s just scary. (Opens Fri at Santa Cruz 9) (SP) ZERO DARK THIRTY (R; 157 min.) Zero Dark Thirty’s opening torture scenes have rustled up plenty of controversy. I, however, see no controversy: Zero Dark Thirty is clearly in favor of torture. It indulges Cheneyian fantasies about the effectiveness of enhanced methods, complete with the bad-movie scene of the prisoner’s defiance: “You’re just a garbage man in the corporation,â€? shouts the Arab who needs a lesson in manners from the Ph.D. (in torture?) who

Movie reviews by Steve Palopoli and Richard von Busack

is racking him. Kathryn Bigelow deserves her reputation as an action director in this very long film’s centerpiece: the helicopter mission into Pakistan on bin Laden’s compound. This is expert work, the finest part of a movie that sprawls terribly. (Opens Fri at Scotts Valley and Green Valley)

Reviews DJANGO UNCHAINED (R; 147 min.) Quentin Tarantino uses the ’50s version of the Columbia Lady in his pretitles, but Ride Lonesome was a mere 73 minutes long, while the unkempt sprawl of

Django Unchained exceeds the bounds of the Western movie/slavesploitationers that Tarantino is raiding. Django Unchained sits solidly in Tarantino’s comfort zone, with a combination of low-key speechifying and big payback. It is, however, Samuel L. Jackson who catalyzes everything Tarantino has to say about slavery. FINDING NEMO 3-D (G; 100 min.) Will he be easier or harder to find in 3-D? Hopefully not harder, because Albert Brooks’ nerves are shot as it is. THE GUILT TRIP (PG-13; 95 min) Barbra Streisand and Seth Rogan star in this comedy

about a dysfunctional mother and son on a road trip. HITCHCOCK (PG-13; 98 min) Anthony Hopkins plays the master of suspense in this biopic based very loosely on the Stephen Rebello book about the making of Psycho. Helen Mirren plays his wife Alma, and Scarlett Johansson is Janet Leigh. THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY (PG-13; 178 min.) After the Lord of the Rings trilogy made three billion dollars collectively, Bilbo Baggins was about the only one who didn’t expect this journey back into J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy series. Director Peter Jackson has split the original novel into three films, which means he’ll be milking roughly the same running time as his first trilogy out of one-fifth the material (by page volume, anyway). So for this one, it’s back to the Shire, where Bilbo hooks up with Gandalf and some rowdy dwarves for a quest to recover stolen treasure from the original kick-ass dragon, Smaug. JACK REACHER (PG-13; 136 min) What the world needs is now is another movie about a cop who shoots people in cold blood and has a reckless disregard for the law. What, no? Well, here’s Tom Cruise to bring us one anyway. LES MISERABLES (PG-13; 164 min.) The realism of the cinematic closeup marries the figurative qualities of the beloved stage hit; they have a baby and it’s ugly. Tom Hooper’s film version seeks streetiness through hand-held cameras and an emphasis on blood and realistically filthy sewers; amid this, Hugh Jackman (Jean Valjean) and Russell Crowe (Javert) bellow at each other at close range. It’s a sunless movie, seeking to recreate the surly clouds of the illustrator Dore. But Hooper is also trying to emulate Tim Burton’s last great movie Sweeney Todd in the soot and satin costume design, the gore and the whores: there’s even two of Sweeney’s cast members, Helena Bonham-Carter and Sasha Baron-Cohen. As the show-stopping Fantine, Anne Hathaway gives something like 10,000%; she plummets into her fate so fast, that there’s no time to feel anything for her. (RvB) LIFE OF PI (PG; 127 min.) Not content to be absolutely phantasmagorical, Life of Pi claims it will also make you believe in God. A little more modestly, the computer graphics represent a milestone

of the technique, and although the film comes with a heavy wow-factor, it’s not lobotomized like Avatar. One can take it straight as a hell of a rousing open-boat adventure. It’s like “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner� with a splendid tiger in it, a beast all the more splendid for being nothing but a figment of pixels. (RvB) NOT FADE AWAY (R; 112 min.) Sopranos creator David Chase sticks with New Jersey and Italian Americans, but this time goes for a flashback rock and roll story with this film (featuring his Sopranos leading man James Gandolfini) about friends trying to make it big as a band. PARENTAL GUIDANCE (PG; 111 min.) Family comedy has Billy Crystal and Bette Midler getting in way over their heads when they agree to watch their three grandchildren. TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D (R; 92 min.) Hilariously halfthought out sequel manages to be that rare example of a film so bad it’s entertaining. The main character was supposedly born shortly before the events of the first TCM film in 1973, and yet in the modern setting of the film (which features a character using an iPhone), she looks to be in her early 20s rather than almost 40. It also makes a big deal about subplot setups, like infidelity between characters, and then just completely drops them. What could have been interesting new plot elements like revenge are so overplayed they make the main character seem like an idiot sociopath, shifting her behavior radically despite everything we’ve seen from her making us think she’d act exactly the opposite. Leatherface (who I guess is supposed to be a senior citizen in this—we never see him without his mask) gets a couple of good scenes, but mostly he just runs around waving his chainsaw. It’s really terrible. And kind of a hoot. (SP) THIS IS 40 (R; 140 min.) Judd Apatow’s “sort-of sequel� to Knocked Up follows the lives of that movie’s secondary characters, a few years after the up-knocking. Paul Rudd reprises his role as Pete (probably best remembered for hiding out in a fantasy sports league instead of cheating on his wife) and Apatow’s own wife Leslie Mann is back as the whining-about-Spiderman Debbie.

OUTSIDE OF THE BOX Anna Landaw of Gayle’s shows off their garden salad with grilled chicken.

Holiday Rehab BY CHRISTINA WATERS SOIF is closed until Jan. 11 for its an-

nual refreshing, but the restaurant at Casablanca Inn & Bistro is closed for renovations prompted by what a spokesperson called “damage from a recent storm.� There’s no word on when the beachfront landmark will reopen. So meanwhile, there’s Michael’s on Main, continually reinventing itself, most recently by opening its kitchen up on Tuesdays to ambitious guest chefs. Anyone who sampled the Pacific Rim renaissance cooking by Tom Breszny last month can testify as to the delicious-

ness of this guest chef concept (at least in expert hands). So consider making reservations for the Jan. 15 Crab Feed with guest chefs Paul and Terry Gregory. Dungeness crab is irresistible this time of year, and the matching wines will come from Monterey’s Scheid Vineyards along with music from Jay Alvarez. On Jan. 22 it’s cioppino night thanks to Cioppino Soquel’s own Pinky Gilmore. Zinfandel from Renwood and Verdelho from Lee Family Farms will be poured, and Kevin McDowell works the guitar. The series goes on

and on, so check the Michael’s website for the full schedule, and don’t forget to call for reservations—crucial for the upcoming Crab Feed —at 831 479-9777. GO TO GAYLE’S: If you’re looking

for something delicious and freshtasting to erase the cloying memories of all those cookies, pies and turkey dinners you just inhaled, you need to check out the vast array of tantalizing salads, entrees and sides beautifully packaged and ready to go at Gayle’s. I know, you’re thinking “croissant,�

PASSPORT DAY: Okay, you keep hearing about this Passport Day thing, and 2013 is the year for you to experience it first hand. The concept is delightful, and idiot-proof. Perhaps that was a bit inelegant. Let’s just say it’s a simple idea: Santa Cruz wineries invite you into their vineyards, tasting rooms and rarelyopened facilities. You (the inquiring winelover) purchase a “passport� that gives you admittance to participating wineries, from 11am to 5pm on Passport Day, Jan. 19. Passports ($45 donation) are available that day at any participating winery. This gives you access to one visit and a waived tasting fee at each winery. You have a perfect excuse to get out of the house, visit some of the most incredible landscape on the West Coast, discover new wines, have fun meeting the winemakers and tour the cellars. The Passport allows you lots of diverse tasting so the best plan is to mark your calendar, select a designated driver and visit the Santa Cruz Mountain Winegrowers Association website for all the details about how it works. SALAD DAYS: We revisted Pizzeria Avanti last night and were wowed by a salad that reminded us of Rome. Very light on vinegar, lavish on extra virgin olive oil, the large, pungent arugula leaves were joined by fresh buffalo mozzarella, sliced beets and pickled onions, and even winter tomatoes. Absolutely memorable. With the salad—which is now a destination dish in our neighborhood repertoire—we enjoyed an appetizer of Dungeness crab cakes, and the evening’s special pizza. The generous pours of Basciano Chianti Rufina, 2009, and a lush rounded Callejo Tempranillo 2010 (both $8) made it a perfect, affordable meal. OUT-OF-TOWN FOOD FUN: It can be had at this year’s Women Chefs & Restaurateurs “Women Who

Inspire� awards and gala dinner, upstairs at the San Francisco Ferry Building on Thursday, Jan. 17th from 6–10pm, featuring a five-course gala dinner created by Annie Somerville, Loretta Keller, Traci Des Jardins, Mary Sue Milliken, Suzette Gresham and Emily Luchetti.
