eer, burgers and bratwurst. That’s the amiable component of Bierhaus, the former Steak Out restaurant on Castro Street in downtown Mountain View. Bierhaus boasts 40 bottled beers plus 18 more on tap. That’s a lot of suds. Beer attracts men; beer plus good food, plus an agreeable outdoor patio that seats about 250, attracts females as well. During
my visits, the ratio was about 60 to 40, men to women, not a bad ratio for any eat/drink place. Rechristened in late November, Bierhaus joined the growing list of craft beer-centric eateries downtown — Tied House, Steins and Buffalo, but only Steins and Bierhaus have beer gardens. The term “beer garden” comes from the German biergarten first popularized in Bavaria. In
the United States, beer gardens were a product of the Gilded Age with opulent styles. According to historian Maureen Ogle, Schlitz Garden, built in 1879 by the Schlitz brewery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, featured a concert hall, dance pavilion, bowling alley and three-story pagoda that provided spectacuContinued on next page

lar views of the city. Concepts cycle through cultures at intervals. Beer gardens were popular in the early 20th century, went extinct with Prohibition, were rejuvenated in the 1950s, and now, here they are again. In this cycle, the food is as important as the drink. Topnotch chefs have helped beer
gardens gain traction as destination eateries. At Bierhaus, owner Mike Finley brought in Aubree Arndt as executive chef. Arndt, a Scottsdale Culinary Institute grad, apprenticed in Colorado before cooking stints at several highly regarded Bay Area restaurants. Bierhaus offers semi-fast food. Order at the indoor window and the food comes in about five minutes or so, just enough time
to quaff some suds. Service staff takes over after that and supplies condiments, utensils and whatever else is needed. Food arrives on china; utensils are stainless steel. It’s no picnic. The burgers can compete with the best in the area. Beef is sourced from the sustainable Marin Sun Farms, 100 percent grass-fed and pasture raised. The beef is ground in-house daily.

LIVE MUSIC The Duet of Kenya Baker & Codany Holiday
Cucina Venti is proud to feature the award winning Kenya Baker Live this Wednesday from 5:30-8:30. Kenya has toured as lead guitarist for Grammy winner Joss Stone for four years, performing for celebrities and dignitaries all over the world.
8FFLFOE ($12.50) came with white cheddar cheese, bacon, Russian dressing, caramelized onions, housemade pickles and whole-grain mustard. The moist beef had loads of flavor. It was perfect housed in a soft bun, baked to spec by Palo Alto Bakery. The amped up spicy burger, ($11.50) with pepper jack cheese, poblano chilies, chipotle aioli, house-made pickles and wholegrain mustard, rivaled the Bierhaus burger in quality and size. The meat was neither greasy nor chewy, nor did it have that grassy flavor that often accompanies pasture-grazed beef. Yet it was flavorsome and juicy. No complaints about the mustard chicken sandwich ($12.50) with white cheddar, red onion, bacon, and avocado, on an Acme Bakery ciabatta roll. Ciabatta can be tough to chew if not fresh, but this was fresh. The sandwich oozed cheese, the flavors and texture were luscious. Add $3 for russet potato fries and a small green salad, or $3.50 for the sweet potato garlic fries and salad (the better bet, flavorwise.). Bierhaus also offers groundlamb burgers (also from Marin Sun Farms), turkey burgers and veggie burgers. Building your own burger is another option

Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler star in “Blended.”
Blended -1/2 (Century 16) Sometimes Adam Sandler works for others (notably Paul Thomas Anderson and Judd Apatow) and makes an interesting and sophisticated film. Mostly, though, he churns out branded “Adam Sandler comedies,” in which he doubles as both producer and star. “Blended” is one of the latter — proudly and pointedly credited as “A Frank Coraci Movie” (not a “film,” nerds!). As per the Sandler-Coraci formula, then, “Blended” is shamelessly, relentlessly crass and/or manipulative, wholly commercial and utterly conventional. But established formula endures because it works, not so much on an artistic level, but certainly with audiences who don’t mind a cinematic Happy Meal. Sandler plays Jim, a widower and clueless single father to three daughters, whom he has languishing in dowdy “pageboy Prince Valiant” haircuts and unflattering polo shirts and sweatpants. As a teenager, Hilary (Bella Thorne) suffers these indignities the worst, with Dad calling her “Lary” and teen boys constantly mistaking her for a bro. Meanwhile, tween 24
Espn (Emma Fuhrmann) — yep, named after the cable sports outlet — communes constantly with “Invisible Mommy” (oh dear), and Lou (Alyvia Alyn Lind) earns her keep as a cornucopia of cuteness and emotional truth-telling. The film opens with Jim boorishly botching a date with divorcÈe Lauren (Drew Barrymore, in her third pairing with Sandler). She’s got two hellion sons who are rebelling against their neglectful father (Joel McHale) and mom’s tight reign: as a professional closet organizer, she’s anal retentive for a living. Why, those boys need a father! Those girls need a mother! Those singles need each other! And so these two wacky families find themselves on a collision course to becoming “Blended” when they accidentally wind up sharing a South African vacation package and bond over safaris and touristy tribal dancing. Surprisingly, “Blended” is not one of Sandler’s most racially offensive movies. Yes, it uncritically accepts the cartoon touristtrap resort version of Africa, but there are such resorts, and folks enjoy their theme-park attractions just like the ugly Americans in this movie do (Kevin Nealon

and Jessica Lowe play two of the ugliest, the embarrassing parents of Hilary’s teen love interest). Are there clownish African stereotypes in this movie? Yes (Terry Crews enthusiastically plays one of them), but when every supporting character is a cartoonish stereotype, this can only be called equal opportunity. As always, Barrymore proves extremely appealing — she’s far better than her material here — and Sandler can do his laconic comedy and mawkish melodrama in his sleep at this point. Though the whimsy is forced, small children will certainly appreciate the broad humor (and Barrymore’s mercenary but sweet rendition of “Over the Rainbow”). “Blended” could be so named because it purees your brain for two hours. Then again, maybe its sunny-mawkish family fantasy is what you and your kids need after a long week. Sure, you could do better with your hard-earned cash. But you’ll receive no judgment here. Rated PG-13 for crude and sexual content, and language. One hour, 57 minutes. — Peter Canavese See page 26

GODZILLA --1/2
In one way or another, Godzilla, the city-leveling lizard, has always represented humanity’s arrogance. This is certainly the case in the latest installment of the storied Kaiju, directed by Gareth Edwards (“Monsters”). “Godzilla” begins in 1999 with Ichiro Serizawa (Ken Watanabe) and Vivienne Graham (Sally Hawkins), two scientists who devotedly study Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organisms (MUTOs) for a secretive global organization. Then enters Joe Brody (Brian Cranston), who lives with his family in Japan and works as a scientist at a local power plant. On that day, massive tremors cause a meltdown, Brody’s wife Sandra is killed, and their son’s life is altered forever. Flashing forward, an all-grown-up Ford Brody (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), his wife Elle (Elizabeth Olsen) and their son Sam (Carson Bolde) live together in San Francisco. Back from a tour of duty, Ford is preparing to spend quality time with his family when a phone call from Japan interrupts. His father has been arrested in the containment zone, and he decides to go bring dad home. Ford is quickly thrust into an adventure that brings him face-to-face with a pair of nuclear-warhead-scarfing, insect-like MUTOs, as well as the film’s titular monster, who (spoiler alert) turns out to be the good guy. There are plenty of eye-popping special effects and edge-of-your-seat sequences, Edwards tastefully applies 3D, and the “science” explaining the monsters even feels plausible at times. Cranston is stellar, and the emotion and terror Olsen conjures is palpable. But perhaps the most pleasantly surprising emotion comes courtesy of the film’s CGI team, who contort the face of Godzilla into expressions of rage, pain and empathy. In one scene, Ford looks the monster in the eyes and finds a sentient being looking back. Through the monster’s languishing we realize that if it weren’t for the nuclear testing and the Cold War’s arms race — if humanity could have just been peaceful — likely none of this would have happened. Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of destruction, mayhem and creature violence. Two hours, 3 minutes. —N.V.
MILLION DOLLAR ARM ---
Whether playing an ad executive on “Mad Men” or a struggling sports agent in this Disney film, Jon Hamm doesn’t need any help with pitching; he throws marketable, high-concept ideas right into the strike zone. Director Craig Gillespie (“Lars and the Real Girl”) knows talent when he sees it, delivering close-up after close-up of the actor. But this baseball movie is about as predictable as a box of Cracker Jacks. An underdog and fish-out-of-water tale, Thomas McCarthy’s screenplay revolves around J.B. Bernstein (Hamm) convincing an Asian investor (Tzi Ma) to mount a contest throughout India in search of cricket players with accurate fastballs — million dollar arms. Bernstein also persuades USC’s coach Tom House (Bill Paxton) to develop the finalists into Major League Baseball pitchers. The stakes are high for Bernstein and his partner Ash (Aasif Mandvi), who need one big client to stay in business. Situational humor abounds as Bernstein, accompanied by a gruff scout (Alan Arkin), travel to India. The two men wear poker faces and don’t react to cultural differences. Instead the spectator is expected to laugh at everything from inadequate Mumbai office space to villagers bringing cows into their homes and endless
contestants throwing baseballs too slowly or completely out of control. The pair of finalists, Rinku (Suraj Sharma, “Life of Pi”) and Dinesh (Madhur Mittal, “Slumdog Millionaire”), move into Bernstein’s bachelor pad, train for tryouts, suffer from culture clash and run into a tame worst-case scenario: If no major league team signs them, they get to return home to their loving families. The Disney production isn’t really a sports movie at all. The real story is about Bernstein transforming from a slick businessman into a human being, as the art of the deal gives way to matters of the heart. Rated PG for mild language and some suggestive content. In English and some Hindi with English subtitles. Two hours, 4 minutes. — S.T.
NEIGHBORS --1/2
Even more so than its recent forebears, the new comedy film “Neighbors” is all about the riff. With Seth Rogen taking center stage, that’s not such a bad thing: a steady flow of one-liners improves the odds for laughs. The latest film from Nicholas Stoller (“Forgetting Sarah Marshall”) explores variations on the theme of bad fences making bad neighbors, as the fraternity Delta Psi Beta moves in next door to a couple — Kelly Radner (Rose Byrne) and husband Mac (Rogen) — whose early parenthood already has them emotionally vulnerable. Attempting to befriend and, failing that, master their neighbors, Kelly and Mac set about proving they can keep up with the Joneses, despite having a baby daughter. Representing for the frat house are its president, dumb party animal Teddy Sanders (Zac Efron), and vice president, the studious Pete (Dave Franco). The Radners quickly become Delta Psi Beta’s natural enemies. Accountant Mac and stay-at-home mom Kelly need their sleep, as does their growing child, but the frat, with “I’ve gotta be me” attitude and bass-heavy music, can’t not party all the time. Rogen essentially plays himself (which he’s proven good at), while Byrne comically unleashes femme fatality as but one weapon in her Machiavellian arsenal. The best, and funniest, part of “Neighbors” is its refusal to shunt Kelly to the sideline, and there’s a hilarious, postmodern argument between the marrieds about their correspondence to film and TV stereotypes. The screenplay is smart enough to humanize Teddy a little and to own up to the Radners’ transgressive selfishness. Nimble performances by the likeable top-billed foursome go a long way to making the anemic story feel satisfying. It’s all very larky and goofy, and if you can meet “Neighbors” in that place, you can get a nice buzz off of it. Rated R for pervasive language, strong crude and sexual content, graphic nudity, and drug use throughout. One hour, 36 minutes. — P.C.
romantic drama, in which money is an issue but race even more so. Dido has two options: one perfectly adequate (James Norton), if more interested in her exoticism and dowry than her soul, and a dashing downlow suitor that oozes passion for her and social justice, aspiring lawyer John Davinier (Sam Reid). Unfortunately, his abolitionist advocacy sets him at odds with Lord Mansfield, who, as Lord Chief Justice, is considering a slave trade case with the potential to disrupt “the finances that hold up England.” Director Amma Asante wrangles crisp period imagery, and in broad strokes, “Belle” captures the intrigue of the real Dido. Raw makes Dido charismatic without being unduly confident or modern, and Wilkinson’s subtleties go a long way to selling a script that favors blunt statement over subtext. Older viewers may be unconvinced by the narrative formulas, but with its PG rating, “Belle” makes a fine opening to engage kids in some race-based social and legal history. Rated PG for thematic elements, some language and brief smoking images. One hour, 44 minutes. — P.C.

BELLE --1/2
When films “based on a true story” make actual history enticing, they do a kind of service, especially to young audiences, and perhaps that’s the best that can be said for the simplifications of “Belle.” “Belle” opens in 1769, as Captain John Lindsay (Matthew Goode) of the Royal Navy locates his biracial illegitimate daughter “Belle” and rescues her from slavery. Lindsay installs the girl with his great-uncle William Murray, First Earl of Mansfield (Tom Wilkinson) and his wife Lady Mansfield (Emily Watson). Though scandalized, they take in the girl — full name Dido Elizabeth Belle — and before long, she’s part of the family, albeit a part not allowed to take dinner with them. Once full grown, Dido (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) begs the question of a husband, an awkward situation for a “mulatto” girl raised by highsociety whites. Matters are less complicated for Dido’s cousin — and bosom companion since childhood — Elizabeth Murray (Sarah Gadon).

X-Men: Days of Future Past ---1/2 (Century 16, Century 20) With the recent glut of superhero mov-
ies and television shows, many have been waiting for the bubble to pop. Since most superhero movies follow fairly rigid formulas, it would seem to be only
a matter of time before audiences get pooped out watching them. But the best superhero movies in some way work against the grain, like Christopher Nolan’s Batman
movies (Gothic films grounded in an urban crime aesthetic and global socio-politics) or Bryan Singer’s X-Men films, which draw on a constellation of interesting characters and play on a scale epic not only for action but in cultural, political and historical implications. You just aren’t getting any of that in “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” or “Man of Steel.” And so we come to “X-Men: Days of Future Past,” which restores Singer to the director’s chair of the franchise he launched with 2000’s “X-Men.” The new film serves as sequel to Brett Ratner’s much-maligned “X-Men: The Last Stand” (2006) and Matthew Vaughn’s 2011 franchise reboot “X-Men: First Class,” for which Singer co-wrote the story and produced. A loose adaptation of the beloved twopart comic book story by Chris Claremont and John Byrne, “Days of Future Past” wields time travel as the last hope for

mutants, in 2023, facing a holocaust from the high-powered robotic Sentinels. A small band of survivors — including Professor X (Patrick Stewart), Magneto (Ian McKellen), and Storm (Halle Berry) — resolve to use the powers of Kitty Pryde (Ellen Page) to send the consciousness of Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) back into his 1973 body. Then, Wolverine will seek out the younger Charles “Professor X” Xavier (James McAvoy) and Erik “Magneto” Lehnsherr (Michael Fassbender) and enlist their help to stop Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) from assassinating the creator of the Sentinels, Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage) and inadvertently ensuring his work gets fast-tracked. Simple, right? It’s okay — take a deep breath. Though it doesn’t hurt to have seen the previous “X-Men” films, one of the miraculous strengths of the new film is its coherence once it gets rolling (partly owed to editor John Ottman). Another miraculous strength owes to that outstanding cast, further supplemented by Evan Peters (who owns a section of the film as super-speedster Quicksilver) and Nicholas Hoult (whose Beast gets ample screen time). With its high-stakes story and large cast of characters, the film keeps up its momentum with ease, and when it’s not hurtling through action, it’s never less than breezy, plenty of humor balancing the darkness. On a character level, the story amounts to a battle for the souls of McAvoy’s Xavier, Fassbender’s Magneto, and the mutant in the middle, Lawrence’s Mystique. Simon Kinberg’s script is at its most interesting when playing these beats, especially given that the infamously impatient Wolverine can’t just slash his way to victory; rather, he has to learn to massage others’ troubles and finesse convincing words. Harkening back to his earlier “X-Men” films, Singer makes passing allusions to the Holocaust and gay pride, and gets his Oliver Stone on by adding plot points (and stylistic flourishes) involving the Kennedy assassination, Nixon and the Vietnam War. But what makes “X-Men: Days of Future Past” more than just a thrilling science-fiction action flick is the past-present poignancy allowed by time travel and astral projection, indulging everyone’s fantasy of telling a younger self what he or she needs to hear. Rated PG-13 for sequences of intense sci-fi violence and action, some suggestive material, nudity and language. Two hours, 11 minutes. — Peter Canavese
