After-party scene? It's all downhill

(from the Prom)

The city's been abuzz for weeks about Saturday's "Gentlemen of the Road Stop­over" festival featuring Mumford & Sons

and about a half-dozen other bands. As many as 16,000 people are expected to

converge on the Eastern Promenade for seven hours of music and merry-making, and a number of other events have been planned to coincide with the fest, including a house-decorating party and an intimate show by Mumford & Sons on Friday at Bull Moose Mu­sic in Scarborough. You can read about all the

details, including street closures and parking information, beginning on Page E5.

If you weren't able to snag a ticket to the sold-out festival or Friday's pre-show, there's still a chance to catch some of the GOTR musicians at five "official" after-par­ties taking place around Portland.

Here's the low-down: SPACE GALLERY, 538 Congress St.: Ben

Lovett, who plays drums, accordion and keyboards for Mumford & Sons, will DJ a set at this after-party which begins at 8 p.m. Admission is $5 to this 18-and-older show space538.org

THE BIG EASY, 55 Market St., will fea­ture Winston Marshall, guitar/dobro/banjo player for Mumford & Sons, along with GOTR emcee Reggie Watts and local reg­gae band Royal Hammer. This 21-and-older party begins at 8 p.m., and admission is $5. bigeasyportland.com

EMPIRE DINE AND DANCE, 575 Congress St., features Boston funk band Miss Fairchild and "special guests" from the festival to be announced. This 21-and-older show costs $5, and begins at 9 p.m. portlandempire.com

PORT CITY MUSIC HALL, 504 Congress St., will feature singer-songwriter Aaron Em-bry and New Hampshire band Tan Vampires at 10 p.m., plus "special guests" from the GOTR fest. Admission to this 18-and-older show is $10 for general admission and $20 for VIP seating, portcitymusichall.com

STATE THEATRE, 609 Congress St., saves the best for last with a full-blown concert featuring GOTR band Dropkick Murphys at 10:30 p.m. The Parkington Sisters open. Tick­ets are $20 in advance and $25 day of show statetheatreportland. com

Promoters have been teasing that more "special guests" may pop up at any of these after-parties, so there may be a surprise or two in store. Check pressherald.com regu­larly for updates, and follow our blow-by-blow festival coverage all day (and night) Saturday.

Stone Cold Fox is based in Brooklyn, NY, but lead vocalist/guitarist Kevin Olken Henthorn is a for-real Mainer, graduating from Freeport High School.

KahBang is a Maine return for Stone Cold Fox guitarist

Aimsel Ponti Making Noise

Stone Cold Fox is an indie-rock band based in Brooklyn, NY. It just released a five-track EP

called "The Young," and is part of next weekend's KahBang Music Festival happening in Bangor.

Lead vocalist/ guitarist Kevin Olken Hen-thorn hails from South Freeport, and is a gradu­ate of Freeport High School. The rest of the band consists of Ariel Loh on synth/back-up vocals, Justin

Bright on bass/synth, guitarist Graham Stone and drummer Avery Burton.

Henthorn is as pleased as punch to be coming home for KahBang, and was happy to talk about the band, the new EP and the upcoming performances in his home state.

Let's start with a band history. When did Stone Cold Fox come to be?

Ariel (Loh) and I started working togeth­er in fall of 2011 while attending our last year at Purchase College in New York. He was studying at the Music Conservatory, and I was in the Film Conservatory. We starting recording what we thought would be a series of solo acoustic songs, but with Ariel's production, they totally turned into something much larger. We realized we had a legitimate sound, and decided to form Stone Cold Fox.

What's on KEVIN OLKEN HENTHORN'S iPod

"Heaven," The Walkmen "All MY Friends," LCD Sound System "WherelEndandYouBegin/'Radiohead "Souverian," Andrew Bird "10 Mile Stereo," Beach House "Rococo," Arcade Fire "Midnight Citv,"MB3 "So Real," Jeff Buckley « M v love Will Never Die," Otis Rush «,fYou let Me Love You," Peter Greens

Fleetwood Mac

When was the EP released? We officially released "The Young" on

May 18.

How did you land a spot at KahBang, and what does this mean for the band?

We sent our press kit to them, and they decided to book us. We've played a few city festivals in New York and some small college festivals, but this will be our first large outdoor music festival. So we are pretty stoked.

Passion is clear in Kouros effort,but more polish really needed

By KRISTIN DiCARA-McCLELLANKouros, aka Stefan Pierce Henegar,

classifies his music on Bandcamp.comas"alternative/acoustic/pop/punk/folk/rock." This is a solo act -just Henegar,his acoustic guitar and his own recordingand engineering ability.

Some of the songs off his new CD,"Echoes Off the Ice," start off as a laid-back folky groove on the guitar, with lushand squishy vocals. At some point hedives in, giving that guitar a good pound-ing and unleashing an emotional roar thatlasts for a while until he has given it his alland purged his demons.

Some songs stay very mellow, evenfloaty-feeling, and in that, I could feel thealternative place he was coming from.

The songs are all over the place in termsof length: The first was more than eightminutes long (a bit of a grind for an open-ing track); another was only 50 secondslong (a cover of an excerpt from the MarxBrothers film "Duck Soup.")

There were many times when I imag-ined Henagar at the center of a full band,with some screaming electric guitars inspots and even with a string section. But

HOW IT RATESKOUROS - "ECHOES OFF THE ICE"

V2

Based on a four-star scale

his overcompensation with the dripping,echoing reverb on his voice takes awayfrom his authenticity as a songwriter.

Maybe he could have spent more timedeveloping the songs, adding some differ-ent instruments into the mix and learninga bit more about himself and recording toget the best result of who he is as a musi-cian.

I, for one, would certainly like to hearwhat he has in store in the future, becausethe enjoyment and fervor he has for themusic shines through. Any artist worthhis weight in gold will grow and stretchand reach for what is possible for them,and the possibilities are endless for aheart like that.

After KahBang, what's next for theband?

Well, we're gonna take a little break. I'mgoing to Europe to shoot a film. Arieland Justin may go to Los Angeles. Ournext show is in New York City for anEXFM Showcase on Aug. 30. This fall,we will start work on our first full-lengthalbum. We'll be playing a lot of East coastcolleges, CMJ, and if things align, we willtry to do a little tour this spring to SXSW(South by Southwest).

How's the local Manhattan musicscene?

The NYC scene is competitive. There'ssome great music out there, though,and it's really exciting when you play ashow with great artists, because then youcan link up with them and start a littlenetwork.

How do you personally like to de-scribe the sound of the band?

Nostalgic, catchy pop-rock with folkroots.

Tell us one thing that, above all, youwant people who are unfamiliar withStone Cold Fox to know.

We want people to know that our goal as

a band is to create catchy, accessible mu-sic that still holds integrity. We don't wantto get caught into being just another pop-rock band. We have more to say than "Ilove you sweetheart," but this is certainlya tough line to follow. We'll do our best.

How did you come up with the nameStone Cold Fox?

The name Stone Cold Fox was inspiredby a certain someone. It's also a great wayto say you're foxy. And it just sounded likea band name to me.

tour). This has drawn national atten­tion to Portland - not only is the event expected to bring in fans from all over the country, band members have praised the city's art scene and historic, creative vibe in explaining why they picked it as a venue.

"It's got the ocean, a lively music scene, and it's an old town. We're very inter­ested in history," said Mumford multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Winston Marshall, 24, in a phone interview. "It's exactly the vibe and character we were looking for in picking these sites."

Marshall will get to see more of Port­land than just the Eastern Promenade - after the show, he's scheduled to be at one of the five after-parties, at The Big Easy in Portland's Old Port.

Mumford & Sons has become wildly popular over the past few years on the strength of just one full-length album and hyper-charged word of mouth. The band hasn't toured the U.S. all that much, so there's a pent-up demand to see it and to hear new music from its upcoming album, "Babel," due out in September.

"It's amazing what they've done on the strength of one album. Their new album is the most highly anticipated record in a long time," said Patrick Doyle, a Falmouth native and journalist who has covered Mumford & Sons as an assistant editor for Rolling Stone magazine.

"There aren't many huge rock bands right now playing their own instruments and doing new music - maybe Black Keys, Jack White - so Mumford & Sons right now are as big as you get."

IT AIN'T OVER'TIL IT'S OVER After Saturday's concert, people are

expected to stream down Munjoy Hill to downtown and the Old Port for more rev­eling. There will be five "official" after-parties featuring "special guests" from among the performers of the Eastern Prom show, including at least two Mum­ford members. (See Page E4 for more information on the after-parties.)

If successful, the ambitious Gentle­men of the Road festival could open the door for other super-hot bands to come to Portland, or for more similar events on the Eastern Prom, a beautiful harbor-side spot that up to now has been home mostly to small concerts by local performers and the city's Fourth of July fireworks.

For this event, the concert area of the park will be surrounded by 8-foot-high fencing, and there will be only one en­trance gate.

"It's certainly a unique and special event, but as far as having more, we'll have to wait and see how things go with the neighborhood and the community," said Nicole Clegg, spokesperson for the city of Portland. "The event has got­ten the city national attention, which is always nice."

Marshall said the other bands in Sat­urday's show were picked because they are all slightly different in style - ranging from singer-songwriter St. Vincent to Boston punk-pop band Dropkick Mur-phys - and because they are all bands the Mumford members want to hear. Other bands on the bill include Dawes, The Maccabees, The Apache Relay, Sim-one Felice and Haim.

The band's other "Stopover" festival events this summer are all in relatively small places: Bristol, Va.; Dixon, 111.; and Monterey, Calif. Portland is the first city on the U.S. leg of the tour. (The festival debuted in June with one show each in the U.K. and Ireland.)

Marshall said the idea of the "Stop­overs" was to have a daylong festival that celebrates an entire community.

"We want to be learning about the towns we're in, going into the bars and pubs," said Marshall. "We're not particu­larly well-informed or well-educated, so this is good for us."

So besides the festival and the official after-parties, the band members will also act as judges for a house-decorating contest. Homeowners along the Eastern Prom have been invited to decorate their homes - no rules; just be creative. Then the band members, who will be facing the Eastern Prom while playing, will pick a winner.

The prize has not been determined, but will likely involve the homeowner meet­ing the band.

Wait, there's more - Mumford & Sons will play a special in-store show for 250 lucky fans at Bull Moose Music's Scar­borough store on Friday. Tickets for this show, which were offered free to anyone who pre-ordered the new album, were snatched up in 15 minutes.

The festival, the contest, the in-store appearance, the after-parties - all are part of a marketing blitz that has kept the entire city and surrounding areas abuzz, and the band's name in the news.

MUMFORD Continued from Page E l l

But in the end, it all comes back to the music.

MUMFORD & MUSIC Mumford & Sons' appeal seems

to lie in the fact that they are different - and not so different - from other pop bands. All mem­bers are all in their early or mid-208 and play older traditional, acoustic instruments, including banjo, accordion, dobro, mando­lin and string bass.

But the instrumentation doesn't mean that the band sounds like it's from another time, playing waltzes at a local grange hall.

"They are pretty loud in their own way" Doyle said. "They play those instruments pretty hard. It's very emotional music.

"Even though they play tradi­tional instruments, they make it very friendly to a younger or more general audience with big hooks and melodies, so their songs really become big pop songs."

Mumford is unusual too in that the members all play several instruments, and everyone sings.

Consisting of Marcus Mumford, Ted Dwane, Ben Lovett and Marshall, the band formed in 2007 and gained a following in the West London folk scene.

Its lone full-length album, "Sigh No More," came out in 2010 and reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 album chart. In 2011, the song "Little Lion Man" was nominated for a best rock song Grammy, and Mumford was nominated as best new artist.

At the 2011 Grammy Awards, Mumford & Sons gained wide attention by performing on TV during the ceremony with Bob Dylan and The Avett Brothers. For the 2012 Grammys, the song "The Cave" was nominated in four categories.

"'Sigh No More' snuck up on everybody and became one of the top-selling albums of the last two years. As acoustic musi-

The Dropkick Murphys will play Munnford's "Stopover" festival in Portland. The punk-pop band from Boston is one of a number of acts that will perform, including St. Vincent, Dawes and The Maccabees.

cians with great songs, they can let the music speak for itself and not have to be on ET ('Entertain­ment Tonight') and a million magazine covers," said Chris Brown, marketing director for the Maine-based Bull Moose chain.

"That's how they got a large number of very loyal fans without needing to be as widely known as Justin Bieber or Katy Perry. That's why a festival that thrills half of the state can leave many people scratching their heads."

It's also a festival that has left music fans around here in a somewhat frenzied state as they try to figure out the best way to be part of the event.

While there have been rumors that the band may come to town early and hang out, that seems unlikely - it was scheduled to play a regular show in Hoboken, N.J., on Wednesday.

The Portland show's local pro­moter, Lauren Wayne of the State Theatre, said she did not know when the band would get to town or if they'd be here early. The tour's publicist, Jim Merlis, also said he had not heard about the band getting to Portland early and "hanging out."

But Marshall said he was look­ing forward to seeing as much of Portland as he could.

"One of our merchandising guys is from Maine, and he's

always telling us about it, and so we're really excited to finally get there," said Marshall. "We've never played Maine before, and that's kind of a disgrace."

But this weekend, the disgrace will be righted. In a very big way

GETTING THERE FIRST, THE BAD NEWS...

There is no parking on the festival grounds. Much of the East End neigh­borhood, roughly from Washington Avenue north to the water, will be closed to vehicles beginning at 11 a.m. Saturday. Residents with proper ID will be allowed to drive into the area.

Even if you get to the area early, there will be no parking from 7 a.m.

NOW THE GOOD NEWS... There are a number of parking ga­

rages and lots within walking distance from the Eastern Promenade. To view a list or map, see the city's web­site at portlandmaine.gov/parking/ offstreet.asp.

If you don't want to walk all the way from Washington Avenue to the park, the Narrow Gauge Railroad will be shuttling people from its location at 58 Fore St. to the festival grounds between 1 and 7 p.m. Free; donations accepted.

A bicycle valet service by the Bicycle Coalition of Maine will be set up at the bottom of Cutter Street near East End Beach.

Nowhere The action almost never stops in this remake of the Arnold vehicle Total Recall/ but that (and Kate Beckinsale) is about all it's got going for it.

By ROGER MOORE McClatchy Newspapers

The almost nonstop chase of the new "Total Recall" isn't enough, by itself, to make one forget the earlier take

on this Philip K. Dick story back in the last century. And for all the effects, the action and the showcase perfor­mance provided for his wife, Kate Beckinsale, "Underworld" Spandex salesman Len Wiseman never lets us forget that he's no Paul Verhoeven, who directed the original film.

Verhoeven ("Basic Instinct") brought a demented, visceral and sex­ual energy to a high-minded sci-fi "B" movie saddled with the Teutonic bore, Arnie Schwarzenegger, as his star.

REVIEW "TOTAL RECALL," s tar r ing Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, Bryan Cranston, John Cho, Bokeem Woodbine and Bill Nighy. Directed by Len Wisennan. Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, some sexual content, brief nudity and language. Running time: 1:56

His not-entirely-forgettable "Recall" is remembered for images, jokes and jolts in between the effects. Wiseman doesn't have Verhoeven's (limited)

won't kill myself, I won't kill some-one else, and I won't look for trouble- then I'll survive the whole day. If

you want to give up, tell yourself, Til giveup tomorrow.'"

As a strategy for getting through yourday, that might seem a bit dramatic. Butthen, since you're lucky, your name's notPaco Larranaga, the subject of the new

documentary "GiveUp Tomorrow,"screening Wednesdayas part of the Port-land Public Library'sSummer Documen-tary Film Series.

In 1997, Larranagaand six other youngmen were arrestedfollowing the disap-pearance of twosisters, Marijoy and

Jacqueline Chiong, in the Philippineisland of Cebu. A decomposed body sug-gested that the young women had beenkidnapped, raped and murdered, andLarranaga, the well-off son of a politicalfamily, was quickly arrested and chargedwith taking part in the crime.

As in most crime stories, Paco washardly an angel - he'd had some troublewith the law and, according to one source,made racist comments about his Asian co-defendants. But, as the film unfolds, anyfaults the young Paco may have had areovershadowed by the sheer hard-to-fath-om depths of injustice he is subjected toin the course of his Kafka-esque, 12-year(and counting) ordeal.

Bowing to a variety of social and politi-cal pressures, the police from the startengage in questionable activities, just thebeginning of a series of jaw-droppinglyshady actions and suppositions in everystep of the case. Let's count them off(SPOILERS AHEAD):

Political connections of the Chiong fam-ily brought the office of Philippine Presi-dent Estrada (eventually deposed andarrested for corruption) to pressure thepolice. Public sentiment, easily whippedup by sensationalist, biased coverage,demanded a quick conviction. Allegedtorture of a surprise cooperating prosecu-tion witness. The fact that the girls' fatherwas scheduled to testify against his boss,a notorious drug lord, before their disap-pearance.

Wait, there's more: Multiple witnesses(including photographic evidence) thatLarranaga was 350 miles away on thenight in question. An erratic judge whoseblatant malfeasance eventually led to himthrowing the entire defense team in jailfor objecting to his handling of the case.Lax, bordering on nonexistent, forensicanalysis which, among other un-"CSI"behavior, could not even categorically con-firm that the body found was actually oneof the victims (!), and the eventual suspi-cious death of the aforementioned judgeafter the case's conclusion.

rage of Pace's family and former lawyersas they relate the mounting ludicrousnessof the prosecution's case and conduct ispalpable. As the mountainous evidenceof the defendant's almost inescapableinnocence and the state's seeming com-plete imperviousness to that evidenceis revealed, there's simply no end to themounting outrage that the film provokes;It's like a nightmare where every door youopen is the wrong one, leading to an evenworse, more irrational outcome.

Even though the film opens with Lar-ranaga on death row, explaining that allhis appeals have been exhausted and he issimply waiting for death, the film success-fully builds suspense, introducing one rayof hope after another, only to smash thathope again and again.

If I have a criticism of the film, it's thatthere's little in the way of ambiguity. Theviewer is left with nothing but a rottenfeeling about the Philippine justice sys-tem, and people in general, and perhapsthe closing words of one of the journalistson the case: "It's so easy to manipulatepeople. To exploit drama and tragediesand calamities to favor selfish interests."

"Give Up Tomorrow" screens at 5:30p.m. Wednesday. Admission is free.

RELEASESNEW ON THE SHELF

"DETENTION," starring Josh Hutcherson andShanley Caswell. At first glance, "Detention"looks like just another meta-horror "Scream"rip-off, but writer-director Joseph Kahn's well-received genre-masher manages to be cleverwithout being annoying - no mean feat for aproject this self-aware.

"Hunger Games" mini-hunk Hutcherson leadsyour average ragtag group of high-schoolersfighting back against the serial killer currentlypicking off fellow students left and right. Leaven-ing this potentially grim scenario is a wealth ofpop-culture references that manage to entertainrather that distract, and a terrific supportingcast that even finds a (mostly serious) role forcomedian Dane Cook as a hard-nosed principal.Very well done overall, crafted with an obvi-ous affection for bygone horror flicks and teendramas. Rated R. Running time: 1:33

Suggested retail price: $26.99; Blu-ray $30.99

"LOL," starring Miley Cyrus and Demi Moore.With "Bieber Fever" having usurped the 'tweenpop throne once claimed by the former Ms.Montana, the starlet sets her sights on cinemawith this compelling if not terribly probing high-school drama. Cyrus navigates the treacherouswaters of adolescence, maintaining a relationshipwith her would-be rocker boyfriend and facingoff against her permanently stressed-out mom(Moore). Also, lots of texting, as the title wouldindicate. Surly teens and fans of Cyrus are clearlythe demographic most likely to be entertainedby this well-meaning but unavoidably mopeyfeature. Special features include several making-of featurettes and a commentary from directorLisa Azuelos and cast members Ashley Hinshawand Lina Esco. Rated PG-13. Running time: 1:37

Suggested retail price: $19.98; Blu-ray $24.99

"HATFIELDS & MCCOYS," starring KevinCostner and Bill Paxton. Originally broadcast onThe History Channel, this faithful and entirelycaptivating recreation of the feud to end allfeuds pits former Confederate allies "Devil" AnseHatfield (Costner) and Randall McCoy (Paxton)against one another in a notorious series of mis-understandings that eventually led to an all-outbloodbath and became the stuff of legend. Bothone of the best TV movies and Westerns in years,Costner and company revive an undervaluedgenre with class and style. Not rated; containsviolence and language. Running time: 4:50

Suggested retail price: $45.99; Blu-ray $55.99

NEW TO BLU-RAY"FOREVER MARILYN," starring Marilyn Monroe

and Charles Coburn. Fads and celebrities comeand go, but the mystical beauty of MarilynMonroe never strays too far from the publicconsciousness, and this collection of remasteredclassics should go a long way toward her contin-ued preservation. The films included in the setare the following: "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes"(1953); "How to Marry a Millionaire" (1953);"River of No Return" (1954); "There's No BusinessLike Show Business" (1954); "The Seven YearItch" (1955); "Some Like it Hot" (1959) and "TheMisfits" (1961). Not rated; contains mild sexualcontent. Running time: 12:23

Suggested retail price: $99.98

"TOTAL RECALL: MIND-BENDING EDITION,"starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and SharonStone. Gleefully violent, rather loose 1990 ad-aptation of a Philip K. Dick story gives Schwar-zenegger one of his best roles as the perpetuallyangry and confused Douglas Quaid, who may

or may not be a secret agent fighting bad guys(including villain extraordinaire Michael Ironsideof "ER")on Mars.

This is released in tandem with the 2012remake, but we can't see how that one will possi-bly compare to the awesomely rubbery makeupeffects and general nasty attitude on displayhere, courtesy of the always entertaining PaulVerhoeven ("Starship Troopers"). Rated R forgraphic violence, nudity and language. Runningtime: 1:53

Suggested retail price: $14.99

VIDEOPORT PICKS"LAST DAYS HERE," documentary. This ac-

claimed doc from directors Don Argott ("RockSchool") and Demian Fenton is about as per-sonal as movies get. We're introduced to BobbyLiebling, an unsung 70s pioneer in the realm ofheavy metal with his band Pentagram. Under-ground recordings of Pentagram have becomesomething of a sensation in the collector world, afact Liebling is only dimly aware of until makingthe acquaintance of Sean Pelletier, a hardcorefan with some connections looking to putBobby back in the spotlight where he belongs.Hampering this possibility to a profound extentis Bobby's crack and heroin habit, and a lack ofinteraction with humankind due to a lifetimespent in his parents' basement.

While "Last Days Here" is not without humor,Liebling's situation is treated with the serious-ness and respect it deserves. It's hard not to rootfor Bobby, but it's the steadfast and loyal Pel-letier who comes across best in the end, layinghimself on the line for an extremely unsure betand making a lifelong friend in the process. Notrated; contains language, drug use and thematicmaterial. Running time: 1:31

Suggested retail price: $24.98

"LE HAVRE," starring Blondin Miguel andAndre Wilms. Sometimes, a movie is so likableand so good, you just want to hug it. Were thatin fact possible, "Le Havre" from director AkiKaurismaki (The Man Without a Past") would bethe lucky recipient of our warm and appreciativeembrace. Concerning the plight of young Africanrefugee and the kindly writer/shoe-shiner whoprotects him from French officials who want tohave the boy deported, "Le Havre" takes a clearimmigration stance.

But rather than rub the viewer's nose in anagenda, Kaurismaki gives us his tale on a purelyhuman level, taking care to leave politics out ofthe equation for the most part. Not rated; con-tains some violence. Running time: 1:33Suggested retail price: $29.95; Blu-ray $39.95

"A CAT IN PARIS," directed by Jean-Loup Felicioli and Alain Gagnol. This Academy Award-nominated film is a beautifully hand-drawn caper set in the shadow-drenched alleyways of Paris. Dino is a cat that leads a double life. By day he lives with Zoe, a little girl whose mother is a detective in the Parisian police force, but at night Dino sneaks out the window to work with Nico. Nico is a slinky cat burglar with a big heart, whose fluid movements are poetry in motion as he evades captors and slips and swishes from rooftop to rooftop across the Paris

skyline. Rife with film references (from "Reservoir Dogs" to "Goodfellas" to "The Night of the Hunter"), "A Cat in Paris" is a warm and richly humorous love letter to classic noir and American gangster films, with a jazz soundtrack featuring Billie Holiday. In French with English subtitles. (PG) (1:35)

'RECALL' Continued from Page E13

inventiveness, his kinky and wicked wit. But he does have Beckinsale, whose

years of vampire pictures have taught her how to lean into the camera, how to keep her mop of hair tossed over one scowling eye, just the right level of sneer to slip into her open-mouthed hypersexual pout. Here, she's the villain, the adoring wife Doug Quaid (Colin Farrell) thinks he's been waking up to these past seven years. And she's terrific.

We're 100 years in the future. Memories can be invented, introduced, changed, bought and sold.

"We Can Remember It For You Whole­sale" was the title of the story this is based on. And the folks at Rekall are all about tinkering with your memory, your reality.

"Tell us your fantasy, we'll give you the memory," a Rekall guru (John Cho) purrs. "What is life but our brain's perception of it?"

Exactly. It's a measure of this movie's mediocrity that the many credited screen­writers and the director cannot make more of that possibility. We never are made to doubt Doug's reality, any more than he does.

"If I'm not me, then who the hell am I?" Doug has been waking up with Lori

(Beckinsale), but dreaming of Melina (Jessica Biel). And it turns out, those dreams are his real past - an agent mixed up with a rebellion, a sexy rebel agent (Biel) working for the rebel leader (Bill Nighy) or perhaps for the fearless leader,

played with generic villainy by Bryan Cranston of TV's "Breaking Bad."

Humanity has barely survived a chemi­cal world war and we're living in two enclaves - Euromerica and New Shang­hai. And we're living in layers, stacked up from the surface, where futuristic Mini Coopers and Fiats remain, to way up in the sky where futuristic hover-cars and rotor-less helicopters roam.

And keeping the peace - "Synthetic Federal Police," who take their fashion cues from the armored Stormtroopers of

"Star Wars." In this future, cell phones are implanted

in your hand (neat), paper money still ex­ists (check out the face on the bills), guns still use bullets and darned if those bullets still don't miss when the hero and his re-discovered heroine are dodging them. Not a lot of room for acting in between the sprints.

It's a "Blade Runner" world of dark and rain, a "Fifth Element" future of stacked-up "levels" of humanity and traffic. No doubt about it, there's a lot to take in, visu-

Jessica Biel and Colin Farrell in a tight spot in "Total Recall."

ally, during the endless chase that runs Doug through skylights, awnings, crowd­ed streets, subway cars and this vast shut­tle that shoots people through the center of the Earth from Britain to Australia. So, kudos where they're due - to production designer Patrick Tatopolous.

But it adds nothing to this "Recall," which is not quite totally different from the last "Recall" - yes, a three-breasted woman shows up, no, we don't travel to Mars - to note that the last "Recall" wasn't all that. This one isn't either.

One man, one show,one messageAnthony Calafato experienced the explodingstudent-debt crisis in a deeply personal way.Then he got mad and wrote a play about it.

By BOB KEYESStaffWriter

wo months into his new job, Anthony Calafato knew he had madea mistake.

He was hired to recruit students to enroll in a for-profit univer-sity in the Midwest. He didn't want the job, but felt he had to takeit: Between them, he and his wife owed $1,500 a month in studentloans.

He quit the acting job for which he had gone to school to get,moved from New York to a big Midwestern city, and took a job hedid not want because he was obligated to begin paying the loans.

"So I was putting other students into debt to pay off my ownstudent-loan debt," he said by phone. "It was the most ridiculousthing I could think of. There was so much drama and hypocrisy init, that I just had to write about it."

The result is Calafato's one-man play, "For Profit." He brings thesocial-theater piece to Portland for four shows beginning Thurs-day at Lucid Stage. Performances continue through Sunday.

Following Thursday's debut, Lucid Stage will host a panel dis-cussion about the student-debt crisis. The panel will include stateRep. Diane Russell; Rob Brown, executive director of OpportunityMaine; and Nicola Wells, state director for the Maine League ofYoung Voters.

had made a wise career move, financiallyand otherwise.

"But within the first two months, it be-came one of the most jarring experiencesof my life in terms of how prospectivestudents were treated and how we weretrained," he said, declining to name theinstitution. "It was predatory, and we weretrained to commodity students just to getthem enrolled.

"It became very clear that my job wasnot to make sure the students were ready,but to get them over to the financial aidoffice" to see if they qualified for federalstudent loans.

He went home at night feeling morallycorrupt. "I just couldn't sleep."

Calafato admits that his former em-ployer stands as a single example, butsuspects that the practice of qualifying asmany students as possible for financialaid is widespread at both private for-profitand public non-profit educational institu-tions.

"For Profit" explores the issue throughthe lens of one person's experience, but itprovides context for the larger issue thatalready is a flashpoint in the upcoming na-tional election, said Liz McMahon, LucidStage director.

"It's an interesting and timely topic thataffects a lot of people," she said.

According to national statistics, Mainestudents have an average debt load of$28,893, the second-highest in the nation.

Because of their debt load, students areforced to move out of state in search ofbetter-paying jobs in larger cities.

Russell, who lives in Portland, said thestudent-debt crisis is "a real problem forour economy here in Maine. It preventspeople from being able to stay and investin the state.

"We just need to raise awareness aboutthe issue. Instead of blaming the students,we need to listen to them and invest inthem. A lot of parents often assume thatkids are not working hard enough to paytheir bills or are not working hard enoughto find jobs. But kids are working hard,and a lot of high school seniors are askingthe question, 'Is a college education worthit?' - and rightly so."

Russell, 35, carries $60,000 in student-loan debt herself. She said it has pre-vented her from buying a decent car or ahouse.

"I admit, I am a little a bitter," she said."All through school, we are told, 'If you geta college education, you will get a job andmake ends meet. If you want to make it,you have to get a degree.'

"Now we get a degree, and it's worthalmost nothing. And we're paying extrafor it. It just doesn't make any sense."

Its emphasis on fresh and somewhat unusual fare makes Bebe's Burritos & Cantina a cut above. espite the name, Bebe's Burritos & Cantina in Bidd-eford is a little hard to describe.

Yes, it specializes in Mexican food, as the name would indicate. But to call it simply a Mexican

place is not quite right. It's more like a cozy, friendly

neighborhood pub combined with an eatery whose chefs come up with some pretty creative fare. And the food's Mexican.

When I went there for dinner recently, slightly ahead of the

dinner crowd, my server was also the bartender. He came over from the bar as soon as he saw us, explained some menu items that seemed exotic to me (esquites - more on those later), and even walked us around the place so we could see where we wanted to sit.

First he showed us around the main dining room, which is large and colorful, with fanciful Mexican-themed murals, ban­ners hanging overhead and a stage area for live music. Then he showed us the spacious back deck.

We chose a cozy table nestled into one of the two storefront

windows facing Main Street. No two of the four chairs at our table were the same, which added to the funkiness of the place.

We started with corn tortilla chips and homemade salsa ($3.99). The salsa was maybe the best I've had. It was not too spicy, and tasted incredibly fresh. The veggies had a nice crunch to them, and the texture was just right.

I don't like salsa that's too much like sauce from ajar - all gloppy And I don't like salsa that is basi­cally vegetables in a lot of liquid.

Atwell's white weekend, E28 • Bar Guide: Post Road Tavern, E29

E28 GO The Portland Press Herald/ Thursday, August 2, 2012

ite weekend makes celebrations betterAs a lark last weekend, cel-

ebrating dual birthdays andhaving a lot of company, I

decided to do a tasting of everywhite beer I found at Shaw'sand the Cape Elizabeth IGA.

There were six beers in all,and after opening them, wedecided one did not fit thecategory. But the observationswere a little interesting.

The beers tasted were Al-lagash White, Blue Moon,Hoegaarden, Harpoon UFO White, Wing-walker Belgian White Ale and, the onethat didn't fit the category, Peak OrganicSummer Session Ale.

"Witbier" actually means "wheat beer"- although, because the yeast tradition-ally is not filtered out, it usually has acloudy whiteness to the color along withthe traditional golden yellow, and theterm is sometimes translated as "whitebeer."

I bought the Peak Summer Sessionbecause the label on the six-pack said,"a traditional summer wheat beer mar-ries a west coast pale ale," and my mindfocused on the wheat beer part. Andbecause I take any excuse to buy a beerfrom Peak Organic.

But it poured clear and, while very good,was not like the other five beers.

We had five tasters for the five beers.The scoring was surprising similar, ex-cept at the top.

The Wingwalker was nicely white andhad a nice head, but surprisingly littlearoma. It had a bit of a citrus taste alongwith the yeast, and a fairly thin head. The

overall flavor was quite good,but it was just a little bit thin- surprising, because it was 5.5percent alcohol. It was ratedlast or next-to-last by all fivetasters.

(Wingwalker, by the way, isa beer that locally is sold only

TOITl AtWGll ky Shaw's, is priced betweencraft beers and mass-market

What AI0S YOU beers, and is usually good butnot great. This one is typical ofthe brand.)

Blue Moon was a lot sweeter than Iexpected, and was by far the sweetest ofthe five beers. It was fairly lightly carbon-ated, contained 5.4 percent alcohol, andhad just a bit of citrus and wheat flavors.Blue Moon is made by MillerCoors, and isvery popular. I just could not get past thesweetness.

The Harpoon was absolutely middle-of-the-pack with everyone. It was unfil-tered, but did not seem to have as muchyeast cloudiness as the others. And at 4.8percent alcohol, it is the lowest in alcoholcontent of the five. It has a slight orangeflavor, but not a lot of it.

Harpoon describes this as a Hefewei-zen, meaning it is meant to replicate thesouthern German version of a wheat beerrather than a Belgian witbier, but I don'tthink it makes much difference. This is abeer I can drink with absolute ease, butnot necessarily one I would seek out.

The two top beers were Hoegaarden,with three people favoring it, and All-agash White, with two votes. I was part ofthe minority favoring the Allagash, but Ilike them both a lot.

Courtesy photo

Hoegaarden is crisp, complex andjust a little bit sweet, with yeastyovertones. It's great for summer.

Hoegaarden is daughter-in-law Marah'scurrent favorite beer, and at 4.9 percentalcohol, it is crisp, complex and slightlysweet, and dominated by the yeast. I tryto have this on hand when she visits, soI drink quite a bit of it, and it is a greatsummer beer. It has a fruitiness, althoughthere is not fruit in the beer.

The Allagash White is another beer Idrink quite a lot. It has a creamy texture,which is something I like, and is right inthe middle between sweet and sour, withjust a bit of bitterness as you swallow thebeer. Although this is a year-round beer,like the Hoegaarden, it is a beer I drinkmore often in the summer.

Allagash says the White is Belgian-style,so it's a witbier, bottle-conditioned andbrewed with spices. The spices were notdominant, but I could detect them. It is5.1 percent alcohol, so it is a beer you candrink more than one of. But it is also com-plex, so it is not something you're goingto drink one after the other.

Allagash White was the most expensive

beer of the group, costing about $9.50for a four-pack - almost $2.50 a bottle.Hoegaarden is about $10 for a six-pack, aswas the Peak, and the rest were substan-tially less expensive.

So basically, you get what you pay for.

HEADING TO CAMP last week, Ipicked up a six-pack of Shipyard ExportAle in cans. I like Shipyard Export, anddrink it quite a bit. It is a go-to kind ofEnglish Pale Ale, refreshing and quitecrisp.

Three people tasted the ShipyardExport in cans and - although we did nothave the bottled Export for a side-by-sidecomparison - all three declared that itwas a totally different beer.

The tasters were son-in-law Christian, afrequent co-taster; Christian Brocard, anaccomplished home brewer who workedat Shipyard a few years back; and me.

We found that the Shipyard in cans wascreamier, a bit sweeter and maltier, lowerin carbonation, and a bit less hoppy thanthe regular Shipyard. All three of us likedit better than the Shipyard Export inbottles.

Admittedly, we drank it straight fromthe cans. We were outside by a fire. Andwe were looking forward to our first beerof the trip.

But this is a beer I will buy again, espe-cially when at camp or fishing. And I willtry to do a side-by-side tasting with Ship-yard in bottles and actually use a glass.

GUIDE

Nothing fancy, Post Road Tavern hits spot for locals By EMMA BOUTHILLETTE

I t's tempting for locals to avoid touristy places - even entire towns - come midsummer.

Traffic is a bear. Parking is near impossible. Finding a seat at the bar -just forget about it.

Luckily, there are places like Post Road Tavern that don't forget about the locals during the few short months that tourists infiltrate the area. Located on Route 1 just before downtown Ogunquit as you're driving south, the tavern has a convenient parking lot, and is somewhat off the beaten path.

My friend Ashley and I pulled right in, parked near the door, and sauntered up to two seats at the bar. The bar keep, who happens to be the tavern's owner, Jim Orser, welcomed us right away. He also carded us imme­diately, taking his job to serve to those only of legal age very seriously.

When I asked if he had any drink specials, Orser suggested a key lime pie margarita concoc­tion that he "accidently" whipped up the night before. He also pro­vided us with a drink list, which features seven cocktails between $7 and $9 each.

I was sold on the innovative margarita, however, so I went with that. Ashley ordered a pint of Original Sin hard cider, which has a green snake wrapped around the tap handle and a bit­ten apple on top.

Orser prides himself on hav­ing a number of quality beers on tap, and rotates the selec­tions about every four days.

Bar tender Lacy Sheetz prepares to serve a custonner at Post Road Tavern, a place tha t doesn ' t f o rge t abou t year - round Mainers dur ing the f renz ied few nnonths of sunnnner tourisnn.

He will even take the time to suggest a brew that you'll enjoy and that will complement your food, should you be eating. One guest requested a certain draft, and Orser encouraged him to go a different route by offering samples of more suitable beers.

Post Road Tavern will soon be offering its own brews as well. Orser pointed out equip­ment that was recently set up to the side of the dining area. He anticipates that the bar will have

beers from the new Rocky Coast Brewing by mid-August.

I was pretty impressed with my newly invented margarita. It tasted just like key lime pie, and was made with Malibu Rum as its base liquor instead of tequila. Ashley's hard cider was good too, considering it was a brand neither of us had heard of before.

One television behind the bar was tuned to a sports network, and the volume was up, which I found interesting. On one hand,

it's nice because I hate staring at a screen and not hearing the au­dio that goes with the picture. On the other hand, it was a constant sound in the background of the conversation Ashley and I were having.

There's nothing too fancy about Post Road Tavern. It's simply decorated with chalkboards to advertise specials. I was in­trigued by the number of patches from various fire and police departments that were tacked on

two posts near the bar. Orser was one of the chattiest

bartenders I've seen in a while. He kept checking in on us and a few other folks at the bar whom he appeared to know from their regular visits.

By the end of our drinks and meal, Ashley and I agreed that Post Road Tavern is the kind of place where you can go and hang out all night - even on a slow night - and still have a good time.

This salsa was neither of those things, and it really hit the spot.

For dinner, one of the things I sampled was a "Mucho Grande Burrito" with esquites ($7.99). What is esquites? It was explained to me as a seasoned corn filling. Very different, and very good. The burrito was also stuffed with Mexican rice, Jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, salsa, scallions, sour cream and a mixture of beans.

Other burrito fillings include beef, chicken, sweet potato, veggie, roasted veggies, guaca-mole and Buffalo chicken. Prices range from $6.99 to $7.99.

I also sampled some enchiladas (two for $9.99). The two corn tortillas had bell peppers, Spanish onions, mushrooms and chicken baked in a mole sauce. Some enchilada dishes come out too hot, like they've been blasted in a microwave or baked too long. But these

were done just right, so that the flavors weren't overpowered by spice - or by the sauce or the cheese.

The enchiladas came with beans and Mexi­can rice. You can also get them with beef and beef chili.

Other dishes on the menu include chili, quesadillas, taco salad bowls, tostadas, chimi-changas, wraps and tacos. Prices range from about $5.99 for bean and cheese tacos to $9.99 for enchiladas and tostadas.

The latter item comes with two deep-fried corn tortillas layered with refried beans and Jack cheese and served with a choice of beef, chicken or guacamole on a bed of fresh lettuce, homemade guacamole, pineapple mango salsa, red salsa and tomatoes, all topped with sour cream and scallions.

The children's menu includes cheese na-chos, a cheese quesadilla, a bean and cheese burrito or a beef or chicken taco for $4.95. They all come with tortilla chips.

The staff of GO anonymously samples meals for about $7.

Margaret Cho and Ian Harvie, above right, perform Saturday at the Maine Comedy Festival.

Funny thing, fate By MEREDITH GOAD

Staff Writer argaret Cho's connection to Maine began six years ago, when she met a Portland comic named Ian Harvie in a tiny club in Los Angeles.

Harvie drove out of Portland on May 13,2006, in search of better op­portunities out West. He spent five weeks getting to California, working in comedy clubs along the way

A few months later, he was in a tiny barroom in east L. A. called Akbar, where Cho was doing a practice set. Harvey went up to talk with her afterward, and they connected.

Then the unthinkable happened. "I got scooped up by Margaret, and I toured with her for three

years," Harvie said. "That's really rare. It's really, really rare. My story is really unusual. You don't just bump into a comic at a club and they say 'Hey let me see your reel,' and then they take you on the road. It just doesn't happen like that."

What was it that Cho saw in Harvie that night?

Please see FUNNY, Page E34

Margaret Cho and Ian Harvie forged a stand-up connection at a hole-in-the-wall club in L.A. some years back. Their paths will cross again this weekend at the Maine Connedy Festival.

'Ninja' competitor will showhow his feats are done

Are everyday obstacles slowing youdown?

Do you find that on your walk towork, you lose valuable minutes goingaround that big statue? Does it seem likeit takes forever to walk up two flights ofstairs?

Well, if you're in good physical shape,have an open mind and consider yourselfsomething of a ninja, Jesse Villarreal maybe able to offer you an alternative routefrom point A to point B.

Very alternative.Villarreal, 24, of Westbrook, was a finalist

earlier this summer on the NBC/G4 real-ity-TV show "Ameri-can Ninja Warrior."He and about 100other young devoteesto a little-known sportcalled free runningcompeted on vari-ous obstacle courses

point A to point B.He's been invited by

Portland's Downtown District to partici-pate in its Weekday Performance Series inCongress Square in front of the EastlandPark Hotel on Tuesday.

His performance will be an explanationand demonstration of the sport of freerunning, also known by its original Frenchname, parkour. Villarreal will be in Con-gress Square with about seven membersof the free-running "team" with which hetrains and puts on demonstrations.

One of the first things Villarreal will tellyou is that free running is not really asport in the sense that most of us think ofsports. It's not really competitive for mostparticipants, unless they go on "AmericanNinja Warrior." There aren't high schoolfree-running teams.

But it does take a lot of mental andphysical stamina and discipline.

"It's a discipline, and really, an art form,because there's not one way to do any-thing," said Villarreal. "It's about makingdecisions about the most efficient way toget somewhere and being able to carrythose out."

So the highlight of Villarreal's presenta-tion will be the demonstration, in which heand his teammates will show how to getover, around or under something quickerthan you might think. For obstacles,they'll use various ropes, each other andwhatever is in Congress Square: Trees,railings, stairs, ledges, walls.

"We'll pretty much demonstrate all lev-els of climbing, jumping and nipping," saidVillarreal. "There'll be some tricks too."

By the way, Villarreal lost in the firstround of the "American Ninja Warrior"finals, when he slipped off a bridge madeof spinning balls. Yes, spinning balls.

In real life, you are unlikely to encoun-ter a bridge of spinning balls. But in reallife, there are trees, walls and railings. SoVillarreal will talk about how to use those

in free running, and how to be safe aboutdoing it.

Free running is about extraordinaryphysical feats, yes, but it's also about mak-ing good decisions. After all, the sport wasdeveloped in part as a training method forthe French military.

After he appeared on "American NinjaWarrior," Villarreal was asked to marchin the parade for the Old Port Festival inJune. He did some flips, and that led to hisgetting this slot in the Weekday Perfor-mance Series.

He now hopes to launch a career as astuntman or some other sort of physicalperformer.

And along the way, he hopes to tell oth-ers about the joys and benefits of lettingno obstacle stand in your way.

"I think he's really funny, and he's really different in the world of comedy," Cho said. "I always try to find people to work with who are really unique and special and ready to work. I have people that have worked as openers for me for years who are doing really well now I always think it's a good way to give back to the comedy community by helping newer comics."

Cho's friendship with Harvie has brought her to Maine several times - most recently in January, when she came to Portland to executive produce a one-hour comedy special that Harvie was filming.

This weekend, she'll be back as the headliner at the Maine Comedy Festival in Bethel. And on Sept. 29, she'll bring her new show, a nontraditional look at mother­hood called simply "Mother," to the State Theatre in Portland.

Cho has big things going on in her life right now, including an Emmy nomination for her spot-on and hilarious portrayal of the North Korean dictator Kim Jong II on the NBC show "30 Rock."

"I'm really excited, and I'm going to take my parents to the awards ceremony, because they love that kind of stuff," Cho said. "My award gets presented the week before, at the Creative Emmys. I think if we win, we get to present at the telecast, so it's great. I've only participated in the Golden Globes before. I've never actually done other televised (awards) shows like that. It's really a thrill."

Asked if she'll continue portraying Kim Jong II on "30 Rock" next season, she said she doesn't know yet.

"I'd love to. That's something I would really enjoy doing," she said. "It's a lot of work, actually, to get into the hair."

Cho's appearances on "30 Rock," along with the Lifetime series "Drop Dead Diva" and "Dancing With the Stars" (which she also says she'd love to do again), have garnered a lot of national at­tention. But she says she likes performing at venues like the Maine Comedy Festival because of the time it gives her with other comics.

"I enjoy other comics and getting to see people enjoy other comics," Cho said. "It's rare that I get to work with other comics on a big show, and usually you don't get

to do that unless you're at a festival. So it's great for me to see who's out there and what they're doing. These are all my friends."

The festival line-up also includes Myq Kaplan, a finalist from the reality show "Last Comic Standing"; L.A. comic Sarah Hyland; and several Maine comics.

Harvie started the Maine Comedy Festi­val because he wanted to create a destina­tion festival where people could come and see not only headliners like Cho, "but also see home-grown talent right here in Maine's backyard - like my friend John Ater, who's been at it for almost as long as I have; Stephanie Doyle, who won Port­land's funniest professional contest; and Steve Caouette, who is unbelievable."

Last year's festival was held on Friday and Saturday. This year, it's kicking off on Thursday night, and Harvie hopes to line up a solid week's worth of performances next year.

The only complaint Harvie got last year, he said, was that "we didn't have any conservative comedians."

"I don't know one," he said, laughing. "If you can find them, I will look at their stuff and consider booking them for the festival, without a doubt."

Much of Harvie's comedy centers around his life as a transgendered man and his transition on stage from a woman "with triple D's and a girl's voice" to a male comic who can joke about the pro­cess of changing.

He thinks that's part of what caught Cho's eye six years ago at Akbar. "She knew that it would be a good thing for people to hear," he said.

After that initial meeting at Akbar, Cho threw Harvie into the deep end: She asked him to meet her at Largo, a nightclub in Los Angeles, a few days later. He thought they were just going to hang out.

Instead, "she said, 'You're going to do 5 minutes.'"

"She's never afraid of helping another comic, whether it is someone not as ex­perienced or whether it is even someone who is at her level," Harvie said. "She's not competitive at all. She's really super-generous."
