COOL KICKS Who doesn’t own a pair of these? I think maybe my mother. Definitely, my grandmother. No Converse there. The closest she gets to sneakers are a pair of orthopedic, black platforms that she wears everywhere. Anyway, I digress. To celebrate its 100th anniversary and the global collaboration with Bono’s Product Red, Converse is putting out a series of sneaks designed by artists — 100 of them to be exact. I loved the ones by artist Scott Patt, dubbed the “100 Ripples Of Hope.” I also have to mention Florida artist Meghan Berckes, who designed a pair of Chuck Taylors titled “100 Positive Thoughts.” Nice. Pick them up at converse.com.

THREE-PART HARMONY The Puppini Sisters have taken the current trend for all things burlesque, reapplied their gorgeous red lipstick and are now running towards the charts. This UK-based vocal trio brings threepart harmony into the modern age with a repertoire that includes everything from “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” to “I Will Survive.” Inspired by the Oscar-nominated film The Triplets of Belleville (a French animated movie which features a ‘40s-style harmony group), The Puppini Sisters — Marcella Puppini, Kate Mullins and Stephanie O’Brien — formed in London. Dressed in 1940s-style wardrobe, the three sing like The Andrews Sisters with inspiring harmonies and perform classics such as “Mr. Sandman,” “In The Mood,” and “Jeepers Creepers.” But what makes The Puppini Sisters truly stand out are their show-stopping interpretations of more current tunes: Blondie’s “Heart of Glass,” Kate Bush’s “Wuthering Heights” and The Smiths’ “Panic,” among others. The Puppini Sisters cite everything from Carole King to Marilyn Manson to the neo-Burlesque movement as influences. Betcha Bottom Dollar, their latest album, captures this range and the group’s flare for both performing and reinterpreting this material.

AlexisValdés Funnyman Alexis Valdés got some splainin’ to do. Sliding into Mega TV’s 9 p.m. time slot, notorious actor, film director and comedian Alexis Valdés teams up with internationally renowned actors on his new magazine-style reality show, Esta Noche Tu Night — an hour of skits, interviews and music interlaced with Valdés’ own brand of stand-up comedy. Think a Hispanic Chris Rock when Chris Rock was funny. The Cuban jokester launched his namesake comedy show in January, and if his MySpace profile is any indication, he appears in 90 percent of his photos with his mouth gaping wide enough to swallow a Nerf football. But don’t let the grin fool you.

Daniel Rene Hot Stuff Menudo doesn’t know what it’s missing. Ex-member of the über-hot Latino music group, Daniel Rene went solo at the young age of 15 and the Grammy nominee has been involved with some of the best music artists and producers ever since. Rene started his career as a model at the age of 9 and eventually became the face of Tommy Hilfiger and Ray Ban ad campaigns. Those gigs soon led to local theater acting and the hot young star eventually started hawking Hi-C juice boxes on national television commercials. By age 14, Rene was one of the scorching young Menudo boys — until he decided to go solo and sign with a record label. His first and self-titled album, produced by Rudy Perez, got him noticed, and his hit single Si Yo Fuera Tu (If I Were You), which he co-wrote, morphed into the Pop version of Servando y Florentino. The album was nominated for a Grammy for Best Pop Duo or Group Album. Rene now hosts El Show de Daniel Rene, a music video play list program featured on CVTV. While the hot Cuban star works on producing his second album, he can be seen on Telemundo’s hit soap opera Pecados Ajenos.

P R Michael Madd O F I L E Entertainer
Welcome to the world of Mr. Michael Madd. A world where you “can’t keep a star from shining.” A world of determination, dedication, ambition and drive. In my world ANYTHING is possible with focus. People ask me, “What’s your biggest strength?” It’s not all my celebrity friends, it’s my energy, there’s nothing like it. What exactly do I do, you ask? I take your “average” party and turn it into an “experience.” I don’t wanna be considered a promoter; those guys are corny. I’m an entertainer. I create vibes at my events that make me stand out from the rest. I place challenges on myself that most of my socalled peers can’t compete with. I don’t use radio or flyers and I don’t pre-advertise who will be at my events. Its about me, my vibe, my energy and my track record. It’s about the M*M stamp. I’m from New York, so I have an aggressive way about me that tends to bypass people quickly. Some say cocky, but I say fuck that. I know what I have to offer the world and I’m not afraid to talk about it. That’s confidence! I love what I do and I’m the Mother F’n best at what I do. Period end of story.

Dylan Lauren Oh, Sweetness Dylan Lauren always dreamed of being Willie Wonka, and when you’re the daughter of Ralph Lauren, you can have what you want. The 32-year-old parlayed a sweet tooth and active imagination into a chain of six upscale candy stores called Dylan’s Candy Bar — a boutique that sells hundreds of sweet treats such as lollipops, Gummy Bears, Swedish Fish, Wonka Bars, bits of spice and other things nice. She carries stuff like Hershey’s Lip Balm, Cherry Jolly Rancher Body Wash, Kissables Body Lotion, candy bracelets, tote bags, gloves, PJs and Jelly Belly Bitsy Bean boxers. New York Magazine recognized the sugarcoated flagship on Manhattan’s Upper East side as the “Best Candy Store.” And Dylan has appeared on Good Morning America, Martha Stewart, The Today Show and other shows on Style, the Food Network and E!. Soon she’ll be showing off her sweet appeal at the South Beach Food and Wine Festival. Night recently chatted with Dylan from her office in Manhattan about life, candy and her upcoming trip to South Beach, where she’ll be making s’mores at the Amstel Light Burger Bash at the Ritz Carlton and hosting the Kellogg’s Kidz Kitchen in Lummus Park. “I’m gonna do a demo in front where I get on stage and I either make an oversized s’more or a stacker of all these different s’mores,” Dylan explained. “And the kids will also be having a big bubblegum blowing contest, a licorice limbo and they’ll be able to do candy word searches as well, so it’s all interactive.” Dylan’s enthusiasm for life and for candy is contagious even over the phone, so much so that it’s easy to forget you’re talking to a sophisticated 33-year-old and not a happy-go-lucky kid. Perhaps her childlike quality is the secret to her success. It’s certainly where she gets the inspiration. “I always loved candy and the movie Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and I wanted to create more than just a candy store,” she said. And she did. “All the stores have party rooms, and they’re like anything from chocolate decorating, to candy martinis, to licorice limbo,” Dylan said. “We have conferences in these rooms. It’s just a fun environment to have a party in.” Unfortunately Dylan doesn’t have any immediate plans to open a Dylan’s Candy Bar in Miami. The closest locations are both in Orlando — at the Mall of Millenia and the Florida Mall. If you don’t feel like driving, visit www.dylanscandybar.com.

NIGHT SHIFT
PUNK’S NOT DEAD After some considerable pre-gaming (for the uninitiated that means drinking while getting ready to go out) — which involved giving my friend Kat a haircut (she was just drunk enough to trust me with the scissors and I was just drunk enough to agree to do it), the results of which were not totally catastrophic, although somewhat avant-garde — we headed out to a punk show at Churchill’s Pub. The show in question was ’80s Cal-
never venture after dark — aside from, of course, the occasional, desperate meth run. Still, after nearly 30 years, Churchill’s has been a Miami fixture for longer than most people have lived in the city. And, even though night clubs come and go, fashions change and the beautiful people move on to new hot spots, British ex-pat Dave Daniels’ total dump of a dive bar has always remained as steadfast as the great man it was named
It is cheap, fun and the most unpretentious shit-hole in South Florida. ifornia surf-punk band Agent Orange, a name on the punk scene that was sure to bring in the crowds. Kat’s boyfriend, Art, had driving duty, Angie attended and we were to meet another friend Marcus at the bar. Approaching Churchill’s Pub is a strange prospect. It is located in Little Haiti, a part of town where even the recent housing boom (the one before the market tanked and everyone went broke) never really made much of an impact, and where delicate SoBe residents would
after. By day, Churchill’s functions mainly as a sports bar, where you can eat British pub fare such as shepherd’s pie or bangers and mash while watching live soccer, or, football as the Brits like to call it — though I completely understand why the limeys insist on calling a game played almost exclusively with the feet something so logical, and there is no way we are changing the name of our game to throwandcatchball, so fuck ’em. But I’m distracted as this is a tale
about the night and what has become the best place to see live hard rock, punk and alternative music in town. Marilyn Manson and the Spookykids played their first gig here, Iggy Pop filmed a live video here and last Friday night it was here that Agent Orange did the show that we had come to see. So, after finding a parking spot near the club because the parking lot was full — the big, red London bus in permanent decay takes up a few much-needed spots, but whatever — we managed to avoid most of the crack dealers and were only approached once by someone wanting to “watch out for the car,” probably because Art is a big, tattooed guy who most people wouldn’t want to mess with. It would be fun to say that Churchill’s is somehow different on the inside than it is on the outside, but it isn’t. It is scruffy, bordering on dirty. The toilets are tiny and not somewhere one would particularly want to have sex or do drugs, let alone take a leak. The seating is uncomfortable and the clientele isn’t always the crème de la crème. But, on the other hand, it is cheap, fun and the most unpretentious shit-hole in South Florida. So, we arrived in time to watch Johnny Sexfuck and the Flesh Rockets, and then
some of Boy Prostitute (there was a time when these names would have been outrageous and shocking, now they just seem to be trying too hard, kinda like Hillary Clinton on the campaign trail) before finding myself puking my guts up for the first time in years and wishing I was dead — something I drank seriously didn’t agree with me. So, I went to the car and was immediately transported to a scene reminiscent of George A. Romero’s movie Dawn of the Dead. The zombies — i.e., crack heads and homeless types — approached the car looking for their next victim as I sat in the back seat in abject terror watching through the windows with only my cell phone for a light and wondering if my pen would be enough of a weapon to ward them off. Then, after nervously witnessing several drug deals and, oddly, a couple of guys running down the street carrying a futon complete with throw pillows, I passed out and woke up on Saturday morning unsure of my surroundings or place in the world. So, how was Agent Orange? No idea, I slept through it. But that’s punk rock. Churchill’s Pub, 5501 NE Second Ave., Miami. — Lee Molloy
NOCTURNO
GIMME’ THOSE OLD TIME GENDERS Slipping out into after-dark South Florida means being prepared. You have to pull off the “I don’t care” look as best you can to not be confused for a tourist and, thus, ripped off by cabbies or shot dead by the casual passerby. There has to be enough ID available in case your body does need to be identified, but not
done regardless of the current White House Administration. A pocketful of single dollar bills is important too — for taxis, of course. Nocturno pulls this off with aplomb. Sure, the preparation is queered up a bit with fragrances and just a hint of color, even if it is not apparent to the naked eye.
“You were a man and became a woman to be a lesbian? Weren’t women easier to find when you were a man?” so much that your arrest in a less than savory bar raid prompts too much attention. Business cards are essential. Not real ones, of course, but rather simple ones with a name — real or not — a number (cell is best) and maybe, maybe an ambiguous career title like “consultant” or “Vice President of the United States.” If your primary goal is sex and if Vice President does not seem powerful enough to get the job done, there are such titles as Modeling Agency Executive or Talent Scout. Those get the job
With Shaq no longer around to protect wandering gay men, a stylin’ hat is out of the question. In case a basher does make note of cologne more expensive than his double-wide trailer, there are always those special business cards for protection. Nocturno’s reads “Discreet Inquiries.” I saw it once on the tube and liked the sound of it, even though I have absolutely no idea what it means. Hopefully the violent type would be confused long enough for a quick, albeit dainty, escape. Sometimes people head out for adven-
ture. Other times, its just to escape the less-exciting doldrums of the day. One night, a lone Nocturno might seek out the camaraderie of a purely gay crowd. Other times, it can be interesting to see how the other side lives — if one can call it that. One thing Nocturno does not seek out is a joint where everyone knows his name. Never saw the appeal of that. Walking into a ginmill where everyone shouts out your name screams “Intervention!” which generally means an end to good times. On this occasion, the goal was a sleazy bar, frequented by all manners of humanity — gay, straight, those whose gender identification is perhaps blurred, the mentally unstable, hustlers and hoods. It’s like California in microcosm, a place to watch people, and maybe beat up a lesbian just to piss her girlfriend off. Not an unusual night. The little bar is perfect for it. I heard an influential lobbyist used to hang out here occasionally to get picked up — or at least felt up — by trannies. A writer I knew a lifetime ago rode out a hurricane at this joint once when it irked the police and stayed open. The dive is near empty, with a couple of cute gay boys looking for — well, something, and a surprising number of nonlocals. Nocturno sits, gin arrives, he stares the help away when food is offered. Oh, no. Faces come and go with lit-
tle to make note of until a young woman sits down too near to be accidental. On second glance, she clearly has not always been a woman. The possibility of a little gender-bending is not unappealing. I barely recall the 1980s. Conversation is inevitable. She is more than willing to share her story. She was a man, went through what she calls “the process” and is now a lesbian. I reduced that to: “You were a man and became a woman to be a lesbian? Weren’t women easier to find when you were a man?” Mistake. Long lecture on being a lesbian trapped in a man’s body. Thanks — I saw it on Jerry Springer. No wonder she is so willing to talk. I’m no threat to her and she no entertainment for me. Still, nothing in the dive is more interesting. Before dawn, we decide to walk along the beach to a 24-hour diner. She asks about me and I give her a card. “What does ‘Discreet Inquiries’ mean?” Nocturno tells her he has no idea. This seems to impress her. Shame, then, that she is only genetically male now. We make the turn off of the windy beach. Oh, yes, quite a shame.

Sexy Lady EVA LONGORIA PARKER TALKS ABOUT HER NEW MOVIE AND HER FUTURE By Dan Hudak If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s anything bad about being named Maxim’s “hottest woman in the world,” Eva Longoria Parker is here to make you feel silly for asking. “I’m going to go with sexy as long as it takes me,” Longoria Parker proudly said. “It’s better than being on the other lists.” Okay, it was a dumb question. But even on this day of interviews at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in downtown Miami for her new comedy Over Her Dead Body, Longoria Parker’s beauty is striking. Her hair is shoulder-length and just wavy enough to accentuate her heavily made-up face, while a black skirt and black and white top gives her an elegant and professional look. Longoria Parker (she added the Parker after marrying basketball player
mates) and blunt honesty, particularly about her future. “I would love to play any comic book character — I find those fun and entertaining,” she said with an energetic smile. “I’m a tomboy, and I was an athlete growing up, so for me, it’s like, I want to show everyone that I’m not just this glamorous girl, you know?” She’s ventured into this territory two times in recent years, alongside Michael Douglas and Kiefer Sutherland in The Sentinel and Christian Bale in Harsh Times, and she says she’s looking for more action and drama. So why did she star in Over Her Dead Body? “I did this movie two years ago, and at that time I really wanted to do a romantic
“I’m not just this glamorous girl, you know?” Tony Parker in July 2007) clearly enjoys being looked at and adored, and a lack of eye contact creates an aloof sense about her that keeps outsiders at bay. She talks in carefully modulated “studio speak” (i.e., saying the standard flattering things about the movie and her fellow cast
comedy,” Longoria Parker said. (Note: As a general rule it’s usually a bad sign when a movie sits on the shelf for two years, let alone when a starlet openly reveals that information during a brief interview.) Longoria Parker plays Kate, a hyper-
controlling shrew who’s killed by an ice sculpture the morning of her wedding. One year later she reappears as a ghost who haunts the new love interest of her fiancé (Paul Rudd), a struggling psychic and caterer named Ashley (Lake Bell). In many ways, Kate could be the evil twin of Gabrielle Solis, Longoria Parker’s character on Desperate Housewives. And similar to Gabrielle, Kate has to be bitchy, yet likable enough to sympathize with so we can enjoy the comedy. “It’s a little tricky, but I really felt Kate was very justified in her bitchiness and controlling ways,” Longoria Parker said. “She loses the man she loves and dies on her wedding day, and isn’t ready to move on. I’d be a little angry too. It was a fine line between her retaliating against those who are trying to take away her man and allowing herself to realize what is really best for him.” It sounds melancholic, but believe it or not it was the comedy that drew her to the role. “I thought the ghost in the script was the funniest thing in the movie, and she had all the fun stuff to do,” Longoria Parker said. “It’s always fun playing the antagonist who causes all the drama and conflict.” If Longoria Parker has things her way — and right now she has the power to control what comes next — it looks like there will be a lot more drama and conflict in her future.
WALKING AMONG US SPIEGELWORLD CAST MEMBERS EXPERIENCE SOUTH BEACH LIFE The Gazillionaire and Penny are the linchpin of the Spiegelworld, well, world. Having enjoyed the duo’s shtick three times now (twice at Absinthe, the signature show, and once at the opening night of the companion show, The Gazillionaire’s Late Nite Lounge), I really didn’t want to know this zany duo as anything other than The Gazillionaire, the snarkiest, richest man on earth, and Penny, his dippy sidekick. For the record, their real names are Voki Kalfayan and Anais Thomassian. Here’s what they had to say:
So, what do you think of South Beach? The Gazillionaire: It’s an interesting place. It’s interesting to get things done down here. Little bit of beach mentality, you know. Four o’clock doesn’t necessarily mean 4 o’clock. If someone is sup-
know who is going to take the bribe and who isn’t. Some people get offended. So the key is that you just have to carry around a lot of cash, and know when to use it or not.
How do you find the audience here on South Beach? The Gazillionaire: New York audiences have “seen it all and done it all,” and even if they haven’t, they want to pretend they have. Los Angeles is a pretty conservative city overall. But when we come here, it’s like everyone who comes is ready to party. And there is a great variety of people. With the Late Nite Lounge, it’s a late-night show. You’ve x’ed out the people who go to bed at 8 and you’ve made it very clear who’s going to be there — coke heads. Penny: And as my dad always says, the
You’ve x’ed out the people who go to bed at 8 and you’ve made it very clear who’s going to be there — coke heads. posed to be there at 4 o’clock, you don’t know if they will be there at 4 or at 7:30, and you need to be cool with that. People kind of have their own thing going on.
But, since you’re a Gazillionaire, people must show you a lot of respect. The Gazillionaire: You would think so, wouldn’t you? But, in South Beach, when you throw the cash around, you never
magic only starts to happen when it gets really, really late and if you’ve started drinking really early. The Gazillionaire: Penny, Penny, this is a reporter, not a therapist. [As an aside to me] Her therapist has boxes of these tapes, he hasn’t gone digital yet, so there are endless amounts of tapes.
being the Gazillionaire and all, but there are some people who might not know yet what Spiegelworld is all about. What do you want them to know? The Gazillionaire: For us, the biggest thing is the intimacy of this experience, of what you can experience in a Spiegeltent, because it is so small and so hot and so close that everything, from comedy to acrobatics to burlesque, is right in your face. Penny: And, if you haven’t shaved your armpits, they definitely see that. If you’re sweating in certain places, you can’t hide it. You have to shave. The Gazillionaire: Yes, shave your armpits. It’s one of our top 10 rules at Spiegelword. So, with all your gazillions of dollars, why do you work so hard? After all, it’s very often you do two shows a night, both Absinthe and the Late Nite Lounge. The Gazillionaire: Ah, what else am I going to do? It’s certainly not for the money we’re making. It’s for the fun of it. This is like Party Extreme. Party “X.” I have my own party and everyone has to watch me. So it’s really about partying with the audience, and they are paying to party with me, and (sigh), with Penny as well. Absinthe and The Gazillionaire’s Late Nite Lounge continue through Feb. 17. Times and cost vary; see www.spiegelworld.com for more information. Kaye Tuckerman’s one-woman show is Tuesday, Jan. 29, at 10 p.m., and the cost is $20. — Charlotte Libov

VOKI KALFAYAN, AKA THE GAZILLIONAIRE
q In some fairy tales, dreams are made of leather. In the world of Farylrobin Footwear they are made of that and happiness and fables and make-believe.
Once upon a time, in the mythical land of Manhattan, a shoe store clerk hoping to subsidize her obsession for the stems of romance, crafted the designs out of leather and fascination. Faryl Robin Morse, founder and creative director of Farylrobin Footwear, said her first expensive shoe purchase made her feel like a woman. Why not, it’s a fairy tale.
One legend we will never unravel is a love affair with shoes. Maybe it’s that they are the last thing we put on, an extension of the longest bit of the female form. Maybe it’s that they are the first thing we take off. One thing the lines on the back of stockings lead to. Or maybe it’s that they are the last thing we take off. It matters not. As elusive (or as tragic) as they get, we will always be enchanted. Farylrobin continues the fantasy by crafting comfortable enchantments with comfy pricetags. And we all live happily ever after.

JJ GREY AND MOFRO WILL ROCK OUT AT THE CULTURE ROOM IN FORT LAUDERDALE ON FEB. 21.
MOVIN’ ON UP TO THE COUNTRY GHETTO If Country Ghetto, the latest CD by JJ Grey and Mofro, has a certain effortless feel, it’s no coincidence. “The song ‘Country Ghetto,’ I didn’t spend 10 minutes thinking about that song,” Grey said in a recent phone interview. “It was the same way with ‘Circles.’ We were riding down the road on the bus and I just ran and grabbed a keyboard and just started playing it into the computer. [It was] the same thing with [the song] ‘Turpentine’.… I don’t know of any song that I thought more than a few minutes about or ever really thought about. They just sort of happened.” The amazement in Grey’s voice as he recalled those moments made clear that
adopted the band name Mofro. Signed to the indie label Fog City Records, Grey recruited Hance and several other musicians to make the CD Blackwater. Looking back, Grey remembers the challenges that came with the CD, which was produced by Fog City owner Dan Prothero. “I had a drummer over there in England,” Grey said. “I saw him one time at a rehearsal, and I brought him over. He’s a great drummer, playing drum ‘n’ bass. But I only got to see him play drum ‘n’ bass, like 150 beats per minute. When we tried to slow down and start playing some soul, oh man, he was struggling.” Eventually Prothero convinced Grey to let him bring in another drummer,
“This is one time when I left the studio that I felt like wow, we’ve really got something here.” songwriting hasn’t always been so effortless for him. Grey’s first brush with recording came in 1994, after a demo that he made with guitarist Daryl Hance got the attention of a British record label and earned the duo a trip to London to record. That deal collapsed, and it wasn’t until 2001 that Grey got a second chance for a first CD. By that time, Grey had returned to his home base of Jacksonville, Fla., and
George Sluppick, and the songs began to take shape — at least to Prothero’s ears. But Grey said he remembers not being sure about Blackwater when it was finished. “When we left the studio with Blackwater, I was like, I don’t know what the hell we’ve got,” Grey said. “Then the second record, I knew a little bit more what to listen for and I felt better about it. And then this record, I felt really good about it. This is one time when I left the
studio that I felt like wow, we’ve really got something here.” Fortunately for Grey and what has been a shifting cast of Mofro musicians, Blackwater made musical sense, and the group gradually began building a following with heavy duty touring. The band’s popularity only grew after the release of the second CD, Lochloosa, in 2004. Then with the early-2007 arrival of Country Ghetto, Grey has taken Mofro another step forward. After releasing Lochloosa on Swampland Records (through a licensing agreement with Fog City), Country Ghetto arrived on the much larger label Alligator Records. This CD, like the previous two, was produced by Prothero. But even before the CD’s release, Grey felt comfortable with Alligator’s promotional efforts, which included a new influx of interview opportunities. “That’s one thing that they brought to the table,” Grey said. “And they do a lot of things that we’ve never been able to have done before. It’s no knock on any of the labels we’ve been on before…. But I’m learning it’s a whole different kettle of fish when there are 16 full-time employees who’ve been doing this for years, rather two people max working on it in conjunction with me and my manager to try to do it.” Songs like “By Your Side,” “War” and “Country Ghetto,” with their gritty, funky edge, rock harder and offer a bigger
sound than much of Mofro’s earlier music. They are also some of the tightest and most smartly crafted songs Grey has written. The fine songcraft also carries through on Country Ghetto’s more relaxed songs, such as the deeply soulful, heavily emotional ballad “Circles,” and the tangy horn-accented “Tragic.” Along with its musical growth, Mofro has settled into something of a stable lineup since Lochloosa. Joining Grey and Hance are drummer Sluppick (who came on board full-time after his other band, the Willard Grant Conspiracy, split up) and bassist Adam Scone. The group has been touring extensively to support Country Ghetto, bringing along an additional musical treat for fans on many dates — a pair of horn players. This allows JJ Grey and Mofro not only to faithfully render songs from Country Ghetto, but also to bring new dimensions to older songs. “A lot of the stuff that was on the other records will have the horn lines that I always wanted to put on those, but couldn’t afford to get a horn section together in the studio, that kind of thing,” he said. “So we’ll have horns on some of those songs too.” JJ Grey and Mofro will perform at 8 p.m. Feb. 21 at the Culture Room, 3045 N. Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale. Tickets are $20, and are available at www.ticketmaster.com. — Alan Sculley

JUMPER ### Written by David S. Goyer, Jim Uhls and Simon Kinberg. Directed by Doug Liman. Starring Hayden Christiansen, Samuel L. Jackson, Rachel Bilson and Jamie Bell. Rated PG-13. Of all of the superpowers one can think of, teleportation has to be the coolest. Imagine being able to close your eyes and instantly transport yourself anywhere, from a few feet to the other side of the world. Throw in a love interest and a few bad guys and you have Jumper, an enter-
Jackson), the well-financed leader of the Paladin Organization, which has sworn to kill all “jumpers” regardless of the consequences. After getting attacked by Roland and his cattle prod — apparently electricity stuns jumpers so they can’t teleport — David returns to his hometown of Ann Arbor, Mich., where he finds his high school sweetheart (Rachel Bilson) and whisks her off to Rome for an abrupt vacation. They travel the traditional way, in a (gasp!) airplane, but while visiting the Coliseum he and another jumper, Griffin (Jamie
All it takes for him to travel is to think about where he wants to go. taining adventure with cool visual effects and action scenes that include London buses crashing in the Egyptian desert. Hayden Christensen (Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith) plays David Rice, a man in his early twenties who uses teleportation to rob banks and see the world. All it takes for him to travel is to think about where he wants to go and he immediately gets there. He’s a bit arrogant — in narration he calls the audience “chumps” for not having his ability — but he does make the “jumping” enviable. One person who certainly envies David is Roland (Samuel L.
Bell, Billy Elliot), are attacked by Paladins and David is officially drawn into the war. Director Doug Liman (Mr. and Mrs. Smith) keeps the energy high and uses the jumping creatively (a “whooshing” sound every time someone jumps keeps things fun), never allowing the film to become a one-trick pony. However, the script by David S. Goyer, Jim Uhls and Simon Kinberg could use some fleshing out, as character motivations are rarely made clear, particularly regarding the Paladins and why they want to kill all jumpers. Jealousy is one thing, but where
and how they get their assets remains a mystery. Perhaps more explanations are offered in the novel by Steven Gould, on which the movie is based. It’s understandable that an action movie will defy logic, but it’s less forgivable when the story doesn’t respect the limitations it creates for itself. For example, toward the end David and Griffin teleport and fight at random places all over the world, ending in a war zone in Chechnya. If they have to think about where they’re going in order to get there, how and why would Chechnya come to mind? Don’t tell me they make the coincidental connection of fighting their own war while there’s a war in Chechnya — neither of these guys is bright or humane enough to have Eastern European politics on his mind. In fairness, logic has nothing to do with the effectiveness and energy of Jumper, and it’s almost always an egregious error to bash an action movie for not making logical sense. If we did, then we may as well banish all suspension of disbelief and just watch documentaries, although even those are prone to hyperbole. So don’t hop, skip or jump to this one, but if you do casually make your way to the theater to see it you will not be disappointed, in spite of the movie’s shortcomings. — Dan Hudak
HAYDEN CHRISTIANSEN TELEPORTS ALL OVER THE WORLD AND GETS CHASED BY BAD GUYS IN JUMPER.
IN BRUGES ### (Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, Ralph Fiennes) Two London-based hit men (Farrell and Gleeson) experience the sights and seedy culture of Bruges, Belgium, while they wait for a call from their boss (Fiennes). Writer/director Martin McDonagh has had great success as a playwright, and here he’s given us one of the best dark comedies in quite some time. It’s funny, violent and strange, but none of it is forced. The action grows out of the situation, and it all seems genuine and logical. Rated R.
(Joseph Cross) who tortures his victims; the more hits his Web site receives, the quicker the victim dies. The torture contraptions look like cheap Saw rip-offs,” and there’s very little suspense or originality in this bland thriller. Rated R. PERSEPOLIS ### (Chiara Mastroianni, Catherine Deneuve, Danielle Darrieux) A 10-year-old Iranian girl’s (Mastroianni) life is changed during the 1978 Islamic Revolution, and in the years that follow she travels abroad and returns to her family to endure life in Ayatollah Khomeini’s regime. It’s an adult drama that happens to be animated and told from a child’s perspective, and as such it’s a challenging, surprisingly humorous movie that deserves its Oscar nomination for best animated feature film. Rated PG-13.
FOOL’S GOLD ## (Matthew McConaughey, Kate Hudson, Donald Sutherland) Newly divorced Ben “Finn” Finnegan (McConaughey) and Tess (Hudson) believe they’ve found a clue to a 300-year-old Spanish treasure somewhere in the Caribbean, but must find it before a fellow fortune hunter (Ray Winstone) and gangster (Kevin Hart) get there first. The story is bland and the pacing is too slow, but fans of McConaughey’s buff, well-tanned torso will assuredly not be disappointed. Rated PG-13.
MAD MONEY ## (Diane Keaton, Queen Latifah, Katie Holmes) Three down-on-their-luck women (Keaton, Latifah and Holmes) steal from the Federal Reserve Bank at which they’re employed in this would-be comedy from director Callie Khouri (Oscar winner for writing Thelma and Louise). There’s no suspense as the movie begins in the end and shows the girls getting caught, and from there is flat and unfunny throughout, making you sigh and shake your head at what’s become of Keaton’s career. Rated PG-13.
THE HOTTIE AND THE NOTTIE # (Paris Hilton, Joel Moore, Christine Lakin) Before Nate (Moore) can woo the girl of his dreams (Hilton), he must first find a suitor for her hideously ugly best friend June (Lakin), who’s never kissed a guy. The title is bad, the premise is bad and the jokes are bad. As for Hilton’s acting, it’s atrocious. Rated PG-13. HONEYDRIPPER ##1/2 (Danny Glover, Charles S. Dutton, Lisa Gay Hamilton) In 1950 in the deep south of Harmony, Alabama, Tyrone “Pine Top” Purvis (Glover) schemes to keep his beloved Honeydripper Lounge, which is facing bankruptcy. Writer/director John Sayles’ (Sunshine State) films are always interesting, but they’re also usually a bit long and fail to pack and emotional punch. That description fits this film perfectly. Rated PG-13. VINCE VAUGHN’S WILD WEST COMEDY SHOW: 30 DAYS AND 30 NIGHTS – HOLLYWOOD TO THE HEARTLAND ##1/2 (Vince Vaughn, Peter Billingsley, Justin Long) Actor Vince Vaughn and four stand up comedians (John Caparulo, Bret Ernst, Ahmed Ahmed and Sebastian Maniscalco) tour the U.S. in October 2005. It’s not a compelling documentary, but the stand up routines are amusing and it has surprising heart, particularly
CLOVERFIELD ### (Michael Stahl-David, Jessica Lucas, Lizzie Caplan) New Yorkers scramble and scream while running from a skyscrapersized monster that decapitates the Statue of Liberty and destroys the city. The entire film is from the perspective of a shaky hand-held camera, which can make those prone to motion sickness a bit queasy and lightheaded. Otherwise, it’s a highly effective monster thriller with some genuine scares and cool visual effects. Rated PG-13. MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY AND KATE HUDSON IN FOOL'S GOLD
when the comedians give free tickets to Louisiana people who lost their homes during Hurricane Katrina. Rated R. OVER HER DEAD BODY #1/2 (Eva Longoria Parker, Lake Bell, Paul Rudd) The ghost of a veterinarian’s (Rudd) dead fiancé (Longoria Parker) haunts his new love interest, a caterer/aspiring psychic (Bell). It’s an un-
funny would-be comedy that’s so creatively inept it stoops to extended fart jokes and gay stereotypes for laughs. Rated PG-13. UNTRACEABLE ## (Diane Lane, Billy Burke, Colin Hanks) FBI cyber crimes investigator Jennifer Marsh (Lane) and her co-workers (Burke and Hanks) track an online murderer
CASSANDRA’S DREAM ##1/2 (Ewan McGregor, Colin Farrell, Tom Wilkinson) Writer/director Woody Allen returns to Match Point territory in this London-set drama about two destitute brothers (McGregor and Farrell) whose wealthy uncle (Wilkinson) offers to fix their financial woes if they’ll kill his rival. The acting is solid, but the plot is predictable and a lack of empathy with the brothers prevents us from getting swept up in the suspenseful drama. Rated PG-13.

NIGHTCAP
The Green Fairy The fascination with absinthe
Take neutral grape spirits combined with dried flowers and wormwood leaves, suffuse with vaunted aphrodisiac powers, mix in a history dark with tales of death and madness, and you have one of the world’s most maligned — and misunderstood — aperitifs: ABSINTHE A favorite of Ernest Hemingway, who has written the warmest tributes to the positive power of absinthe. Hemingway said that when sipped slowly, it was an “opaque, bitter, tongue-numbing, brain-warming, stomach-warming, idea-changing liquid alchemy.” Whiskey, Hemingway added, “does not curl around inside of you the way absinthe does. There is nothing like absinthe.” Is absinthe really the most powerful and soul-stirring of drinks? We aim to find out. This naughty cocktail is the perfect drink to end any evening — just you and your special someone. Or, just you, a video and a handy, dandy appliance. Whatever floats….
THE SHOPPING LIST Sugar cubes Cracked ice Absinthe (Try the Dutch brands). We suggest buying some online from www.feeverte.net. or http://stores.ebay.com/absinthe-on-the-net.
THE RECIPE Absinthe Drip Classic Preparation 1 1/2 oz. Absinthe 1 sugar cube crushed or cracked ice Use a tea strainer (or for you hardcore absintheurs, an absinthe spoon), over an old fashioned glass. First, pour the absinthe into the glass. Then, place the strainer, with sugar cube inside, over the glass. Pack a mound of your ice atop the sugar. When the ice has melted, the drip is ready.
