AT THE TABLE

Let It Ride poker appeals to wide audience

PAGE 2

By TOM ROBINSON For The Times Leader

Many patrons who won’t venture into a poker room seek out poker elsewhere in the casino. Options include drawpoker machines and wild-card games as well as table games Let It Ride and Three Card Poker. In Let It Ride, a variation of five-card stud poker, players do not compete with each other or dealers but are paid according to strength of hand. The game involves simple strategy and plays against a

reasonable house advantage of between 3 and 4 percent. It also offers the slot-machine or draw-poker type of payoff with small wins combining with the occasional big hit. Players control the amount bet by having the option of taking back one- or two-thirds of their original amount when not guaranteed a win. Three bets of equal amounts – a typical minimum is $5 or $10 each – are placed in circles in front of the player. Each player is dealt three cards face down to the dealer’s two.

Players eventually make their hands out of the combination of their cards and the dealer’s and cannot discuss hands with other players. After peeking at their cards, players can choose to “let it ride,” leaving all bets out or taking back their first bet. After seeing the dealer’s first card, a player again can “let it ride” or take back the second bet. Once the dealer’s second card is exposed, winning hands are paid. See ROBINSON, Page 4

Concertmaster embraces role

or this first concert of the Philharmonic’s 40th season, Erica Kiesewetter considered dressing in a flowing Scheherezade costume straight out of “Arabian Nights.”

Philharmonic opens season with Scheherezade tale By MARY THERESE BIEBEL mbiebel@timesleader.com

aybe you realized the uncomfortable truth when you heard King Henry VIII beheaded two of his wives. Or maybe the biblical story of how Queen Esther risked her life just by approaching the king clued you in. By the time you encounter the legendary Scheherezade in “Arabian Nights,” you’re probably familiar with this idea:

Olden-day queens tended to be less powerful than the men they married, and male monarchs sometimes ordered their execution for any offense, real or imagined. This brings us to Scheherezade, who had done nothing to offend her husband, the Persian sultan, nothing other than being a woman. Betrayed by an earlier bride, Sultan Schahriar vowed he would never give that situation a chance to happen again. He would marry one woman after the other, allow her to live as his wife for a single day, and then have her killed. Clever Scheherezade – who is

celebrated in a Nicholai RimskyKorsakov piece the Northeastern Philharmonic will perform tomorrow in Wilkes-Barre – convinced the sultan to spare her for one thousand and one nights by relating a series of fascinating stories. Can you just picture her, dressed in colorful harem clothes and veil, beguiling the sultan as she wove tales of beggars and royalty? She told of genies that emerged from bottles, and of a poor wood cutter named Ali Baba who encountered 40 thieves, and of a sailor named Sinbad who was shipwrecked. See CONCERT, Page 4

PAGE 3

At least, that’s what she said early this week during a phone interview. She may have been teasing. If you attend tomorrow’s concert at the F.M. Kirby Center, you’ll see she’s opted for the kind of simple and elegant gown the concertmaster typically wears. She plans to let the music make the dramatic impact – through the orchestra and through her violin solos, in which the violin’s “voice” will become that of the beleaguered, legendary sultana. Kiesewetter “I’ve played this before, and I have felt that I was Scheherezade,” Kiesewetter, 53, said. “There is a desperation there but also a clever and conniving aspect. It’s great satisfaction to set the stage and see each story become successful.” The character Scheherezade, honored in Nicholai Rimsky-Korsakov’s opus of the same name, spends 1001 nights telling stories so compelling they continually postpone her impending execution. OK, we know who she is. But who is Kiesewetter? She was educated at Juilliard, lives in Tenafly, N.J., and is the mother of two children, Sebastian and Gabriella. She has taught at Bard College and Columbia University and has performed in 49 states, Canada, Europe and South America. For years, she was concertmaster of seven orchestras, among them the Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic, though now she has reduced her schedule to six. As concertmaster for the Philharmonic, a position she has held since1991, her role is that of a liaison between the conductor and the orchestra. Just as the captain of a sports team might demonstrate or interpret the coach’s directions to her teammates, Kiesewetter serves that purpose for her fellow musicians. “I am the one that has the most contact with the (Conductor Lawrence Loh), during rehearsals and before,” she said. The concertmaster serves as “first violin,” which means she’s specifically the leader of the violinists and the entire string section. “Everyone sees me go out and ‘tune’ the orchestra, but that’s just a protocol,” she said. One of the most enjoyable aspects of her work is getting to know people in the community, which she and other featured performers have had a chance to do, she said. “It’s nice for the community to feel they know us.”

THE GUIDE SLOTS PAYOUTS

For Aug. 29-Sept. 4: MOHEGAN SUN

Continued from page 2

Players need a pair of 10s or higher to win, so if their three face-down cards achieve that, they can let all bets ride risk-free. Although it is not shown until the end, any pair of 10s or higher among the dealer’s two cards guarantees everyone at the table wins. Players have to be careful about letting their money ride on too many promising hands that are not guaranteed winners. This can increase the house edge. Other than winning hands, the only time it makes mathematical sense for a player to let his bet ride after three cards is if he still has a possible straight flush. After the dealer’s first card has been shown, flush draws and straight draws that are open-ended or include four of five Broadway cards (10 through Ace) are worth keeping a bet in place.

WAGERS Week: $63,323,448.24 Fiscal year to date: $569,294,163.74 PAYOUTS Week: $56,972,896.73 Fiscal year to date: $512,080,735.96 MOUNT AIRY WAGERS Week: $42,757,646.50 Fiscal year to date: $397,564,541.21 PAYOUTS Week: $38,605,715.08 Fiscal year to date: $359,986,184.86 SOURCE: PENNSYLVANIA GAMING CONTROL BOARD

Players must not fear missing a big payout. If every $5 or $10 bet is left in for the long shot of getting the two remaining cards needed for a straight or flush, a player will waste money over time. Similarly, Let It Ride bonus bets can become part of the payoff on rare huge hands, but, as with most casino bonus bets, they offer poor odds in the long run.

You won’t hear a human voice telling these stories during tomorrow’s concert at the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts, which opens the Philharmonic’s 40th season, but you will hear a voice, of sorts. “In a certain way, there is a narrator,” concertmaster and violin soloist Erica Kiesewetter said. “The violin plays the role of Scheherezade.” “I worked with a conductor once who really opened me up to the idea that not only do the stories change but Scheherazade changes throughout the piece. She becomes more frightened that she might lose her life, but she’s also more empowered. “It starts out very delicately and sweetly and immaturely, in a way, building to the very final solo. What opens up the last movement is downright angry and determined,” Kiesewetter said, adding it’s immensely satisfying to portray the title character’s emotions throughout the piece. Audience members will be able

to translate from the music, Kiesewetter said. “Sultan, I’m going to win this. Listen to me. ” “Even if the audience never heard this piece before, even if they don’t know any of the stories, they’ll sense the incredible drama,” Kiesewetter said. “This piece is a fantastic piece of program music, written by one of the greatest orchestrators that ever lived.” The Rimsky-Korsakov piece also has solos for trombone, clarinet, bassoon and oboe, Conductor Lawrence Loh said, but those instruments don’t represent specific images the way the violin, sometimes paired with the harp, correlates to Scheherezade. Coincidentally, considering the

Susquehanna River reached a record-breaking crest last weekend, water is a theme in two of the three pieces the Philharmonic will present. Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Scheherazade” has its shipwreck imagery, and Bedrich Smetana’s “The Moldau” was inspired by rushing waters of the Vltava River. “It’s kind of a terrible coincidence,” Loh said. “We’ll be expressing the power of water, but we hope people will also experience the healing power of music.” Completing the program is Symphony No. 5 in B flat, by Franz Schubert, which Kiesewetter describes as “one of my favorite pieces of all time.”

THE GUIDE

See and hear how a film changed a life By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com

ast year brought film director Tanya Hamilton not only a large following and rave critical reviews but a new outlook on life. You can see why at King’s College beginning Sunday. Her “Night Catches Us,” produced by SimonSays Entertainment and starring Anthony Mackie and Kerry Washington, will be screened Sunday and Monday, and audiences can meet her in person on Wednesday.

The film takes place in the late ’70s, with the focus on Marcus Washington (Mackie), an exBlack Panther leader who returns to the Philadelphia neighborhood where he grew up amid the Black Power movement. “He comes back to town for his father’s funeral, but really in many ways it’s to tie up loose ends,” said Hamilton, 43.

One loose end includes a woman with whom he was once in love, Patricia (Washington), the widow of his Hamilton best friend and a former Panther. Overall, Hamilton said, it’s a simple love story about people who could not be together due to circumstances of the time. “Now they’re trying to see if they can make it work, even when all these pieces of the past are coming back,” Hamilton said. “Pieces like the woman’s young child, and the rank-and-file Panthers that are still around, who are suspicious of him. The center of it, really, is whether or not this man betrayed the movement.” The idea for the story has largely to do with Hamilton’s upbringing. Born in Jamaica, now living in Philadelphia, she moved to the United States with her family when she was 8. “I think I learned how to be a black American,” she said, “and part of that learning curve was finding a piece of history that I could really connect to, be fasci-

nated by, and try to figure out. The entire black liberation, and by that I mean Civil Rights Movement, eventual Black Power movement, I’ve always been fascinated by.” Coupling that interest with the need to write a narrative that could be put to film resulted in “Night Catches Us.” “I wanted to construct a very simple story that I could then put to the backdrop of something that felt more socially and politi-

cally relevant.” After the screenings at King’s, Hamilton is set to talk about her experience as a black woman in the film industry. That experience has differed greatly compared with a year ago, when the film debuted. “The way I frame the world has so often been through the complexities of race. Everyone has their lens, the way they see the world, and it’s always shifting and changing. Mine was so deeply

about color. Then I made this film, and I suddenly, almost overnight, had a shift in that lens. I realized I had been kind of neglecting or not seeing ever so clearly other parts of myself.” This experience has helped her form a new theory on life. “New experiences matter less individually and more collectively. They lead you to a sort of conclusion or perspective that wasn’t there before.” “A year after the film debut I’m more of a sophisticated thinker. Now I can take into account another part of myself that I never bothered to pay attention to.”

Restaurant Review

Colonial serves up pumpkin delight

he fade of summer and accompanying back-toschool adjustment period are, in a few key ways, a lamentable time in our lives. Especially when we pass a favorite ice-cream shack, such as old faithful Curly Crème in Plains Township, and see darkened windows and signs reading “Closed for season. Thank you for your patronage.” Really? Already? But it seems so soon. When the vanilla soft-serve is gone, though, all is not lost. Like all good things seasonal, it is only on hiatus, we must remember, and now it remains for us to turn our attention, dutifully, to that which we can get only when the air starts to chill and the leaves start to drop. Things like pumpkins. Mixed up into all of our favorite comfort foods. September is your signal to start watching out for the signs, and that’s exactly what we did. The board outside the longstanding Colonial Pancake House was one of the first we spotted, and it did precisely what it was supposed to do: It caused us to pull the car over, because of three little words: Pumpkin Nut Pancakes. Ice cream was quickly forgotten once inside this place we hadn’t ventured into in some time. Happily, we found it jumping, busy as ever on an early Sunday afternoon, with folks ordering up not only pancakes but creative omelets and heaping plates of what’s here called picnic chicken. (Looked delicious, in all its honey-dipped glory.) Though we made a mental note to get back there and try some of that, today our mission was pancakes. Or at least breakfast. One of us would report on the pumpkin for you, and the other would try something else. (In case – gasp – pumpkin just doesn’t do it for you.) Have to tell you: It was hard to choose. As we said, we hadn’t hit Colonial in a while, so we were pleasantly surprised to find a menu of impressive variety. Not just

two eggs, bacon and toast and a couple of omelets and French toasts. Here your breakfast options include multiple types of roll-ups – strawberry and lemon/sour cream jumped out at me – and some quite interesting omelets, even a Philadelphia Cheesesteak, packing onions, mozzarella and, of course, meat. And the pancakes, well, you’ll get to pick from a laundry list. I’ll give you my guest’s take first. She went with the Italian Omelet, which put plentiful peppers and mushrooms next to the traditional egg and cheese. The creation was large but light, impressively moist, and came with plain pancakes. For a small upcharge, she chose to turn those into the blueberry variety and was delighted with the combination, which came to $8.98. Meanwhile, I chose – you got it – pumpkin nut pancakes ($5.99), not even yet listed on the menu, and added a side of link sausage, two fat links

split in half and served butterflied, for $2.39. Despite the hustle and bustle, a heaping plate of orange-hued happiness landed in front of me in just minutes. The rich pumpkiny taste was evident from bite one, and the fluffy, pliable oversize creations became better and better with each addition of more classic maple syrup. A smattering of nuts over top added a kicky crunch to an otherwise easily pureed breakfast, and I was a happy camper. Now, I’d like to tell you more, but the fact is, folks, this time we kept it deliberately simple. Pancakes and eggs, please, and who needs more, on one of the first fall Sunday afternoons and a subdued one at that? (The Valley was cleaning up after a major flood, and the world was remembering some major, sad history. No call to overindulge today.)

But, as we all know, sometimes nothing fancy is exactly what we all need. And, when eating out, this applies to more than the food. Nothing at all about Colonial is fancy, so don’t expect it. In fact, the entire place has a lived-in, timeworn, been-here-forever feel. Smallish booths fairly close to pushedtogether tables atop a floor that perhaps slopes a bit. Dining isn’t exactly intimate, but you don’t mind. You also tend to overlook things like a creamer running almost on empty and no sweetener options besides regular sugar when the coffee arrives. It’s the kind of busy place where the details don’t really seem to matter all that much and are probably easily fixable anyway. If you tried. And why might you not? Well, because you let the busy be busy and, besides, the service is friendly, and the crowd seems happy to roll with whatever happens to happen. In a hometown institution with history behind it, why fuss or fret over the small things? Especially when the big, dependable things (hello, the pancakes) are just so darn delicious?

By JOSEPH HUDAK For The Times Leader

Pull on your lederhosen. This weekend the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs says guten tag to its first-ever PA Oktoberfest, the seasonal celebration of all things German, from bratwursts to oom-pah bands. But the primary focus of the event, and of all Oktoberfests, is the beer. More than 36 different brews will be available for sampling, most of them of the Oktoberfest style, characterized by copper color and smooth taste. “We brought all the distributors together to bring their Oktoberfest beers. It’s a rare opportunity where you’re able to try this many varieties at one location,” says Bobby Soper, president and CEO of Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, who has high hopes for the future of the beer-nanza. “We wanted to create an event that we believe we can grow. Not only will it be the largest one in Pennsylvania in a couple years, but it will be the largest one on the East Coast.” Staging the three-day party was a no-brainer, he said. “We’re a regional entertainment destination, we have a lot of land out here, and we certainly have the resources to execute large events. We thought this was a great opportunity to re-create the Oktoberfest celebration and celebrate German heritage. In fact, we chose this weekend because it’s the same weekend Oktoberfest launches in Munich.” A ceremonial keg-tapping at 5 p.m. today will open the weekend, followed by a performance by polka favorites Stanky and the Cadets. Live entertainment is a centerpiece of the festival, which will take place entirely outside. But fear not the weather or soaked steins, Soper assures. “It’ll be all outdoors, but we’ll have over 50,000 square feet of tents to house the significant amount of beer products.” A fair amount of those products will be from Pennsylvania breweries. Wilkes-Barre’s Lion Brewery rolls out its Stegmaier Oktoberfest, Downingtown’s Victory Brewing Company serves up its Festbier, and Western Pennsylvania’s Straub Beer taps its flagship brew. The big draw, however, is likely to be the latest in the Yuengling line, the popular Pottsville com-

Cheers! By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com

It might only be September, but you can’t go to any drinking spot without hearing the word “Oktoberfest” thrown around. You can choose to celebrate it officially, such as this weekend at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, or you can enjoy some sips solo, while out and about or in the comfort of your own home. Oktoberfest is a celebration that starts the third weekend of September and ends the first Sunday in October, a 16-day span. It began in October of 1810 during a public celebration in Munich, Germany, for Prince Ludwig of Bavaria’s marriage to Princess Therese of SaxonyHildburghausen. Food and beer were brought into the equation in 1818, when vendors set up shop in the festival area to serve local treats. Nowadays, Oktoberfest marks the beginning of a wonderful season for beer drinkers that’s chock full of various Oktoberfest-style brews as well as fallweather concoctions that very often take on a pumpkin flavor. With an ever-expanding list of Oktoberfest beer on the market, how do you know which to choose? Beer Boys in WilkesBarre weighs in.

“We know there’s a lot of different beers to sift through, so we thought we’d make it a little easier by offering a sampling of a couple,” Michael Finnerty, manager, said. Beer Boys serves up beer paddles for those ready to sample a mixture of brews. In honor of Oktoberfest, it’s named its newest paddle “Help! I’ve Fallen & Need Oktoberfest!” The wooden paddles hold four 8-ounce glasses that are filled with beers pre-determined by Beer Boys. This particular paddle contains Samuel Adams Octoberfest, Southern Tier Harvest, Beck’s Oktoberfest and Left Hand Oktoberfest. “We also describe what each beer tastes like so you know what you’re getting into before it’s even in front of you,” Finner-

ty said. Whether you’re in the mood for sweet caramel or grainy malt, this paddle has it all. ••• Help! I’ve Fallen & Need Oktoberfest beer paddle Served at: Beer Boys, 176 N. Washington St., Wilkes-Barre Price: $6 Beers include: • Samuel Adams Octoberfest, 5.3 percent alcohol by volume, light caramel, hint of sweetness • Southern Tier Harvest, 6.4 percent ABV, grainy and bready malt • Beck’s Oktoberfest, 5.0 percent ABV, biscuit, caramel, citrus • Left Hand Oktoberfest, 6.0 percent ABV, bready and caramel sweetness

‘Lion King 3D:’ Feel the love all over again By ROGER MOORE The Orlando Sentinel

“Lion King” was the movie Disney insiders regard as a high-water mark for traditional Disney animation, the exclamation point on the success story that began with “The Little Mermaid.” That cell-animated (with some digital sequences) classic earns a nice 3-D dressing up in “The Ling King 3D,” Disney’s two-week reissue, which precedes an October BluRay release.

And those voices. “So kid, what’s eatin’ you?” “NOTHING! He’s at the top of the food chain!” Jeremy Irons must have worn a mustache into the recording booth to voice Scar, the villain. There’s a mustache twirl in every treacherous line. James Earl Jones, as the king, Mufasa, gave the story’s message weight: “Being brave doesn’t mean you go looking for trouble.” Maybe “Hakuna Matata” has become a musical cliche, but the Jackson Five-ish “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King” still tickles. And Elton John’s anthems “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” and “The Circle of Life” are likewise so much a part of the culture as to seem worn but still soar. The 3-D doesn’t add much. A wildebeest or hyena almost falls into your lap, here and there. Once upon a time, pre-video, Disney reissued its classics to theaters for short runs so a new generation could experience them as they were meant to be seen. That makes this revival part of a grand tradition, 3-D or not.

By RENE RODRIGUEZ McClatchy Newspapers

“Straw Dogs” is a meditation on masculinity and societal mores in the guise of an explosive thriller. While remaking Sam Peckinpah’s controversial 1971 classic, writer-director Rod Lurie has kept the plot virtually intact. What makes the two films feel radically different is tone. James Marsden and Kate Bosworth seem odd substitutes for Dustin Hoffman and Susan George, but their casting proves a stroke of genius — so far removed from the original stars that the inevitable comparisons are moot. Marsden and Bosworth deliver career-high performances. The story remains simple: Hollywood screenwriter David Sumner and his actress wife, Amy, relocate from the

West Coast to her small hometown in Mississippi to restore and then sell her family home. The locals still remember Amy fondly, especially her ex-boyfriend Charlie (Alexander Skarsgard), a former high-school football star whose greatest triumphs are behind him. Charlie is obviously still in love with Amy, but he’s respectful of her marriage and doesn’t overstep his boundaries — at least for a while. The trouble starts when the Sumners hire Charlie and his crew to fix their roof. The workers’ constant presence and rude behavior gradually takes a toll on the marriage. Hairline cracks become fissures. David suggests Amy stop dressing so provocatively (“Maybe you should wear a bra”). She responds with anger, claiming she dresses for him. The men sense David’s emasculation and grow bolder in their See STRAW, Page 14

It’s a testament to how good the film is that even though you know what’s coming, it still has you on the edge of your seat. ••• “THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO”(2009, Music Box, unrated, $30): In this Molotov cocktail of a movie, Swedish powerhouse Noomi Rapace stars as a computer hacker who teams up with a

crusading reporter (Michael Nyqvist) to solve the mystery of a teenage girl who disappeared from an isolated island. A remake with Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara is coming in December, but check out the original; it’s a palm-sweating thriller chock full of eccentric characters and explosive action. ••• “BROADCAST NEWS” (1987, Criterion, R, $40): A classic comedy that could sit comfortably on the shelf alongside “The Philadelphia Story”

New on DVD and “His Gal Friday,” James Brooks’ best film stars Holly Hunter as a dynamo news producer who finds herself torn between a shallow anchor (William Hurt) and a cynical reporter (Albert Brooks). Woven into the romantic triangle are Brooks’ prophetic observations about the dumbing down of network news. Feisty, intelligent fun. Amy Longsdorf also profiles celebrities for the Sunday Etc. section of The Times Leader.

This week’s DVD releases showcase a Norse god, ex-princess and New York firefighter. “THOR,” GRADE: A- The God of Thunder gets sent to live with humans to find his humanity.

‘Drive’ is a thrilling ride

THE GUIDE

By CARY DARLING McClatchy Newspapers

By ROGER MOORE The Orlando Sentinel

t’s exhausting, but that’s sort of the idea. “I Don’t Know How She Does It” is an old-fashioned spin on the manic pace of motherhood for today’s working woman, for whom “juggling” has become not just the norm but positively blasé.

The novelty here is that it’s that “Sex and the City” conspicuous consumer Sarah Jessica Parker “discovering” what Allison Pearson’s novel didn’t exactly discover, either: Parents are perpetually overworked and overcommitted. Parker, narrating in voiceover as in “Sex and the City,” is Kate, the frazzled investment banker trying to keep her job but also her kindergartener and 2-year-old happy and her working husband, Richard (Greg Kinnear), content. She travels. A lot. Kate is closing in on a big deal and has to win over a handsome upper-level manager (Pierce Brosnan). That’s the straw that may break this mother camel’s back. She lies awake working on “The List” — birthday-party plans, bake-sale obligations,

home-repair arrangements. “Number 3, Call Richard’s mother. Number 4, Wax something. ANYthing.” The cute lines don’t have much snap, so the script and director Douglas McGrath lean on testimonials — the friends, colleagues and fellow moms who marvel, either genuinely or sarcastically to the camera — “I don’t know how she does it.” Christina Hendricks is the single-mom pal, Seth Meyers is a back-stabber at the office, Olivia Munn is the younger assistant who looks at Kate and vows “never getting married, never having kids.” Her assessment of Kate? “You’re tired and always insufficiently groomed.” Jane Curtin shows up as the judgmental mother-inlaw who can deliver withering condemnations with a smile, and Busy Philipps makes a funny impression as a “mini-Martha Stewart.” The story’s thesis has resonance. We’re all missing out on important things in our overscheduled lives. But the idea that working moms feel the strain of achieving balance more than working dads is nothing new. And that’s true of most everything in the movie.

IF YOU GO

What: “I Don’t Know How She Does It” Starring: Sarah Jessica Parker, Pierce Brosnan, Greg Kinnear, Christina Hendricks, Olivia Munn, Seth Meyers Directed by: Douglas McGrath Running time: 90 minutes Rated: PG-13

“Drive” is pitched as an action film, a straight-up saga about a man who crashes cars as a movie stunt driver by day and helps crash businesses as a getaway driver by night. In a more mainstream universe, this could be the set-up for a Jason Statham headbanger. But that’s not what acclaimed Danish indie director Nicolas Winding Refn has in mind. As chilly as a Copenhagen winter and often tensely quiet before exploding in brutal violence, “Drive” sometimes feel like a for- IF YOU GO eigner’s academic take on a Hollywood What: “Drive” genre piece. Still, it’s Starring: Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, a thrilling ride. Bryan Cranston, Ryan Gosling is the Albert Brooks nameless driver, the Directed by: Nicolas go-to guy if a car has Winding Refn to be driven hard and Running time: 100 fast. When he’s not minutes Rated: R for strong, rolling cars or knock- brutal, bloody vioing over warehouses, lence, strong lanhe wants to be an au- guage, some nudity to racer, an ambition ★★★★ his mechanic (Bryan Cranston) helps him with by introducing him to those who could bankroll him, mobsters played by Albert Brooks and Ron Perlman. On the other hand, he’s falling for young mom Irene (Carey Mulligan), literally the girl next door, whose husband, Standard (the underrated Oscar Isaac), has just come home from prison. When the family is threatened because Standard still owes some gangsters money, Standard agrees to one last job to pay off his debt — and the driver agrees to help him. The driver’s seemingly separate worlds collide, and nothing goes as planned. The action scenes are gripping and Refn’s painterly way with a camera adds visual allure. “Drive” may not take the expected route to its destination, but it arrives in style.

transgressions. Charlie admires Amy from afar, hammer in hand. An aura of menace develops. Lurie’s “Straw Dogs” argues that we are products of our environment and learn to survive by embracing the attitudes around us, even when they contradict our instincts. When a bored David walks out on a church sermon, he’s not aware of the offense against the locals. But like Amy, he’ll eventually learn by force. Much like Peckinpah’s film, the new “Straw Dogs” climaxes with extreme violence. There is a great tragedy to the bloodbath but great victory, too. You can push people so far before they break, or fight back. The conflagration that ends “Straw Dogs” is more triumphant than lamentable: Sometimes, you have to be taken to the edge of the abyss to find out who you really are.

JUMBLE

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

BY MICHAEL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

Good shows on cable and networks Q. I have watched so many good programs on off-network TV channels on cable. Why is it that these channels seem to get the quality shows while the big network channels don’t? I am thinking of “Lights Out,” “Durham County,” “The Killing,” “Sons of Anarchy” and “Burn Notice.” Some are canceled because of a low audience, and some are too graphic for network TV. But the graphic ones could be toned down. We seem to get the same thing on ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC. I am glad I have alternatives. A. I am also glad we all have alternatives. And some cable networks offer advantages to show producers, such as fewer content restrictions than on broadcast stations, which are more tightly regulated by the federal government. But it goes too far to suggest that quality shows are only on cable, or that cable is overall a home to quality programming. Cable will cancel a good show if its numbers don’t add up; “Lights Out” was a oneseason wonder. Cable is the cradle of such bad ideas as the “Real Housewives” shows, “Jersey Shore” and classic TV shows with content edited out to make room for more commercials. Not too long ago a David Letterman list involved Top 10 signs you’re watching a bad cable channel. (One example: “Only has two shows about crazy people making cupcakes.”) Do you have a question or comment for the mailbag?

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may think

that you’re underperforming, but this is probably because you’re not looking at the entire scope of what you do on a daily basis. Give yourself a break. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). People try to get away with the silliest things, but you won’t stand for it. In some ways, you’re the judge and enforcer. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The person, place or thing you are looking for may not want to be found. Stop searching, and consider that life might be perfect

PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION

CRYPTOQUOTE

ON THE WEB For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com in this moment with exactly what you already have. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ve encouraged another person and earned his or her trust. In the course of one day, you have the power to make or break your solid record. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Most of what you’ll do you’ll do alone. But don’t worry if you happen to be outnumbered by the other team. What you lack in support, you make up for in raw talent and ambition. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are very close to being finished with a project, though you wouldn’t know it by the look of things. The final stages seem like total disarray, but in the last moment, things shape up nicely.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Powerful people

are not impervious to flattery. They want respect and admiration as much as anyone else — maybe more. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It doesn’t matter who deserves what. Results have more to do with cause and effect and the way energy is exchanged. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). What you say won’t make sense to a lot of people. But it will be understood by the one who is on your wavelength. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). No matter what the problem is, it can be looked at in a different way. Perspective is a powerful tool. Move around until your problem appears to be of manageable scale.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are a

social person and will be motivated by the attention you get from others. You have a special way of interacting that gives both you and the other person more energy. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What many mistake for freedom is just another cage made from different materials. True freedom is hard to come by. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 16). You will resist authoritative control, recognizing that you are ready to lead your own journey. You will turn a profit in your dealings precisely because your offerings are equitable and realistic. Capricorn and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 3, 20, 48 and 46.

Sadness that lingers is one of several symptoms of depression Dear Abby: I am 18 years old and would like to know what kinds of symptoms show that it’s time for counseling — depression, mood swings, etc. — Considering It in Ohio Dear Considering It: - Everybody experiences sadness at some point, but sadness that doesn’t go away can be depression, a medical condition. Any-

DEAR ABBY ADVICE one who experiences any FIVE of the following symptoms for two weeks or more should discuss it with a mental health professional: 1. Feeling of sadness and/or irritability. 2. Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed. 3. Changes in weight and appetite. 4. Changes in sleep patterns.

5. Feeling guilty, hopeless or worthless. 6. Inability to concentrate, remember things or make decisions. 7. Restlessness or decreased activity noticed by others. 8. Fatigue or loss of energy. 9. Thoughts of death or suicide. Dear Abby: I bought a small travel trailer that I use for weekend fishing trips. My dog, “Goldie,” accompanies me on these trips and sleeps with me on the only bed in the trailer.

GOREN BRIDGE

My wife, “Shirley,” is now expecting to go on some of my fishing trips with Goldie and me. The problem is, Goldie is used to sleeping with me, and I believe she should have first dibs on the bed since she was there first. When I informed Shirley that she’d be sleeping in the back of the truck, she came unglued. Now, Shirley and I are hardly speaking. I think my wife is being selfish and inconsiderate. Am I out of line here? — Goin’ Fishin’ in Midland, Texas

THE GUIDE

Dear Goin’ Fishin’: You are not only out of line, but it appears you’re also in the doghouse. A real gentleman would let Shirley and Goldie share the bed while HE slept in the truck, and that’s what I’m urging you to do.

ove over, desert days of summer. Premiere Week looms, promising many happy, and sad – Charlie Harper pushing up daisies!? – returns in addition to some tasty-looking new treats:

• “2 Broke Girls” (9:30 p.m. Monday/CBS): Daddy’s little girl, destitute and disgraced after the Bernie Madoff disciple who begat her is busted, seeks working sanctuary in a rundown diner. A new friendship and a cupcake-centric business plan result.

Liz Lemon (Zooey Deschanel) moves into a three-man loft after catching her boyfriend cheating. The old boys seem destined to become big brothers, not new lovers, as they further their education in the female psyche. • “Unforgettable” (10 p.m. Tuesday/CBS): Poppy Montgomery is Carrie Wells, as blessed as she is cursed with the ability to remember every moment of her life, except one particular tragic and crucial one. The series debut will follow the season premieres of “NCIS” and “NCIS: Los Angeles.” • “Revenge” (10 p.m. Wednesday/ABC): Fresh off “Brothers and Sisters,” Emily VanCamp See WATCH, Page 20
