Martian chronicle

The Wild West goes to Mars in this effects-laden adaptation of the early-20th-century novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs. And it works!

A

By ROGER MOORE McClatchy Newspapers

bloated sci-fi epic if ever there was one, “John Carter” is made watchable by swell effects, passable performances and those little dashes of humor that reassure us that the filmmakers know this is all a lark – no matter what the budget. It begins as a Western, veers into sci-fi, and finally finds its footing as a blend of those, with a dash of sword and sorcery – a Confederate cavalryman slashing and hacking beasties and baddies all over the dusty, dying Red Planet in the years just after America’s Civil War. Edgar Rice Burroughs, who wrote the “John Carter of Mars” stories, appears as a character here, a young would-be writer (Daryl Sabara of “Spy Kids”) reading the journal of his late uncle (Taylor Kitsch), a swarthy, two-fisted Civil War vet searching for gold out West who stumbled instead into another Civil War – this one a thousand years old and millions of miles away. This one’s taking place on Mars, which is where John Carter wakes

The Portland Press Herald/ Thursday, March 8, 2012

At Maine Beer, Sebago Brewing, some heady debuts aine Beer Co. introduced two new beers during the past couple of weeks, and I liked them both. One of them will be around for a while, and one of them might not go on sale again.

The former is MO, named for the recently born twins of brewer and co-owner Daniel Kleban. The twins are named Madeline and Oliver, and MO makes a shorter, easier-to-say name.

MO, a pale ale at 6 percent alcohol, cost $5.99 at Downeast Beverage on Commercial Street in Portland. And while the first batch has disappeared from the company warehouse, co-owner David Kleban told me it is a beer that will be in their rotation in the future.

Son Zachary, daughter-in-law Marah, son-in-law Christian and I all had some MO on Sunday. I didn’t describe it to them, and the other three tasters all said it was an IPA. If I hadn’t talked to Daniel and David beforehand, I probably would have described it as an IPA too – an IPA made before the West Coast trend of heavily hopped IPAs. The Klebans told me that the MO is a pale ale somewhere on the scale of hoppi-

M

ness between Peeper, their original flagship Americanstyle ale, and Lunch IPA, their American-style IPA, which I would describe as a West Coast, highly hopped IPA. We all liked MO a lot.

You could taste the hops, but the malt stood up to the hops, and it was just a good, complex beer.

Someday I will go whole hog and have Peeper, MO and Lunch in a vertical tasting, but right now I think MO is the one I like best of all – and not just because it was the one I had most recently.

The other new beer, Thank You Allan, is a oneCourtesy photo time – unless the Klebans change their mind – charity beer, and a change for the company. It is a farmhouse ale brewed with brettanomyces, aged in oak barrels and bottled with a cork and bale.

It costs $25 – $10 of which goes to the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund. The company regularly gives 1 percent of all its other sales to environmental charities.

Thank You Allan is a good, fairly strong, tasty beer with the yeast being the dominant flavor. The oak is in the background, and there’s not a lot of hops. It was a

superb Belgian style, something we had previously not seen from Maine Beer.

If I had tasted it totally blind, I would have thought it had been brewed a couple hundred feet down the street at Allagash.

I don’t know if this is a hint of what is yet to come.

Tom Atwell What Ales You

THE PILOT BEER NIGHT at Sebago Brewing Co.’s Portland restaurant on Leap Day proved educational and fun. Sebago has just installed a beer system that will let it test beers in 30-gallon batches, and wanted to gain some public reaction.

I enjoyed all four of the beers I tasted, and was surprised by a couple of them.

Good Man Charles, a brown ale, was created by Marty McMorrow, and it wasn’t what I typically expect a brown ale to be. It was the right brown color, but not as sweet, with a thinner body. It still had a good malt flavor and a fairly complicated hoppiness.

“I wanted to give it a little twist,” McMorrow said, so he used an aromatic Munich malt and Falconer’s Flight hops, a blend of West Coast hops that is new to the market. It had a rich complexity, but was still easy drinking at 4.9 percent alcohol.

McMorrow started working on the bottling line at Sebago a couple of years ago.

He said this was his first all-grain beer.

The Throne Extra Pale Ale was another beer experimenting with a new hops, Delta. This is a fairly earthy light beer, at 4.8 percent alcohol, that would make a great summer brew.

It has a subtle complexity, but would be a great beer for sitting on the patio or watching a baseball game.

I’m ’Ol Ale was described as an Old Ale style, and the beer I use for comparison is Old Peculier from England. I’m ’Ol Ale was lighter in color, body and flavor than Old Peculier, but still rich in flavors of dried fruit and dark sugar, with just a bit of hops. It wasn’t what I expected, but I liked it.

Cocoa Love, a milk stout at 4.5 percent alcohol, was a liquid piece of Belgian chocolate. A nice dessert.

I WROTE ABOUT Narragansett Cream Ale last week, and my wife, Nancy, and I liked it. But I wondered if it was worth the price premium over the Narragansett flagship lager.

Zachary, Christian and Marah all said it was substantially more complex and better than the lager. Again, I will have to taste them side-by-side in the near future.

ter its cancellation. But the typecasting of David Jones as Davy Jones, the happygo-lucky, mop-topped Monkee, would never end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I played Davy,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a good servant to me, and I ended up being the slave.

bright career, Jones was considered old news by the age of 27. It often drove him to depression. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is affecting my children,â&#x20AC;? he told me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s affected my marriages. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly affected me. It has driven me â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total mood-swinging sort of occasions, where I have to hide, go get away and be alone. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interesting. I ďŹ nd myself riding in Pennsylvania in the mountains, seeing black bear and deer and badgers and squirrels, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh, I wish everyone could see this.

This is me, this is what I want to be. This is the guy I am â&#x20AC;&#x201C; riding my horse, my trusty steed.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sell records. What sells records is a little guy jumping about singing and dancing to the familiar tunes and these other two clowns that everybody knows.â&#x20AC;?

Still, Jones said he had come to peace with that, especially since The Monkeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; revival of the 1980s had endeared them to a new generation. Instead of an albatross around his neck, he came to view the group as a meal ticket, something he could rely on to provide ďŹ nancial security for himself and his children. He referred to participating in Monkees reunions as â&#x20AC;&#x153;protecting my investment.â&#x20AC;?

But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a job, either. Jones seemed to genuinely love performing on-

Continued from Page E23 Hot Suppa is a small place, with 10 to 12 tables (including lots of wooden booths) and bar seating for four, but the friendly staff doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rush you. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local art on the walls and hot sauce on the tables.

If you feel the need for a little hair of the dog, they do serve some eye-openers such as mimosas, a Cajun Bloody Mary and â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Dudeâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Allenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coffee Brandy, vodka and milk.

As for the food, it seems as if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something for all appetites. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not that hungry, the menu has plenty of smaller but still delicious options for you, from a single buttermilk wafďŹ&#x201A;e to specialty bagels and egg sandwiches.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starved and really â&#x20AC;&#x153;hungry for breakfast,â&#x20AC;? Hot Suppaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specialties are the most tempting. Along with eggs benedict and quiche, there is a breakfast burrito and the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famed corned beef hash.

The hash is made with shredded corned beef thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cooked nice and crispy on the

stage, whether it was singing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Valleriâ&#x20AC;? in front of screaming fans or playing Jesus nailed to the cross in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Godspell.â&#x20AC;? And he referred to the female adoration that continued into his 50s with that classic Monkees humor ďŹ rmly intact. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I go for the best-looking ones â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as long as they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t outweigh me too much, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter,â&#x20AC;? he said with a laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They no longer throw panties, they throw Depends. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I like these older women â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yell, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re grateful.â&#x20AC;?

The one passion that trumped everything else, though, was training and riding horses. Jones was training to be a jockey when the joined The Monkees, and owned his own horse farm in Florida.

I ďŹ nd it ďŹ tting that the last day of his life was spent riding horses with his family, because it brought him the escape from being Davy Jones that he craved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You ďŹ nd that other life thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s far away from that stuff, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what my horses do for me,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not that guy when I go pick up horse s--- in the mornings, when I get on my thoroughbredâ&#x20AC;Ś I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go around singing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Daydream Believer,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; you know what I mean?â&#x20AC;?

In the end, Davy Jones left this world doing the things that he loved, and he made other people happy in the process.

We all should be so lucky.

outside, but remains soft and juicy on the inside. Bits of onion and carrots are mixed in, as are chunks of creamy potato, although there werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t many potatoes in the side order we tried.

Hot Suppa also has its own version of Southern biscuits and sausage gravy, served with two eggs and hash browns or grits.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling virtuous, the section of the menu devoted to â&#x20AC;&#x153;farm grains and fruitsâ&#x20AC;? will satisfy you without blowing your diet. The Fiddlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Green Farm 7Grain Organic Porridge â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a mix of wheat, oats, corn, rye, rice, millet and barley â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is served with raisins, brown sugar and milk. Yum. There were also a number of specials on the board the day we visited that sounded alluring, and provided us with an excuse to go back. I, for one, would love to try the breakfast poutine with local cheddar curds, sausage gravy and fries ($8.95) served with two eggs.

Mon Dieu!
