TEQUILA PENASCO DISCOVER THE DIFFERENCE
Welcome to the world of Tequila Penasco through the vision of Grupo Majestic Inter-national and Del Bravo Imports, proud Arizona companies. We are committed to bring you the finest distilled 100% blue agave tequilas on the market. We proudly distill 4 levels of tequila Penasco for your demanding pallet, Plata (silver), Reposado, anejo and extra anejo. We have gone above and beyond to enhance our quality. Our Pe-nasco Reposado has rested in the barrel for 4-6 months, our Pe-nasco Anejo aged to exceed your expectations for 14-16 months and our ultra aged Penasco EXTRA ANEJO for 3 years and 3 months. We infuse our tequilas with hints of citrus and caramel to take away the traditional burning sensation you normally experience from most tequilas. Two words are commonly used to describe our tequila, “VERY SMOOTH”. Te-quila Penasco represents quality and is named after the famed beach town located in the state of Sonora, on the sea of Cortes. To-day tequila is one of the fastest growing liquors in the world. The direction of the growth is decided-ly upscale. An entire tequila cul-ture is being developed not only in Mexico but all over the world. It is enjoyed in many countries, local pubs, neighborhood bars as well as many sophisticated restaurants around the globe.
There is a large market of excel-lent 100% blue agave tequilas in
the $30 to $50 dollar range. Most all tequilas priced under $20 are mass produced for export to lo-cal markets and are made from a mix of agave plants. You can enjoy Tequila Penasco in many fine establishments throughout Arizona and Texas, demand qual-ity when ordering your tequila and ask for Tequila Penasco. Our web site details all the locations that proudly pour our tequilas as well as where you can purchase your own bottle for your private use. Tequila Penasco is distilled for the enjoyment and pleasure of all our loyal tequila drinkers. We will be introducing 3 new tequilas to the market this year, DIVA tequila, which will be a soft, smooth tequila with a rose tint in a beautiful diamond caped bottle for women who love to sip their tequilas. Del Bravo Tequila for all the tequila drinkers who appreci-ate quality while sipping or mixing their home bar tequila, and Route 66 tequila, a motorcycle shaped bottle for all the collectors who enjoy quality reposado. Let your senses be your guide and DIS-COVER THE DIFFERENCE. www.tequilapenasco.com www.delbravotequila.com www.homeofthebraveconcerts.comwww.tequilapenasco.com

REVIEWERS, ROUNDTABLE
The following are reactions from each of AZ Weekly Entertainment Magazine’s film commentators in an effort to
generate a well-rounded overview of this weekend’s new releases.
‘Room 237’Filmmaker Rodney Ascher explores the numerous theories about the hidden meanings within Stanley Kubrick’s film “The Shining.” Five very differ-ent points of view are illumi-nated through voice over, film clips, animation and dramatic reenactments. Playing exclu-sively at The Loft Cinema. (NR - 102 minutes)
Joseph: It is difficult to deter-mine what filmmaker Rodney Ascher’s intent was with his new documentary “Room 237,” in which he explores numer-ous theories about the hidden meanings within Stanley Ku-brick’s film “The Shining.” Those theories are so outrageously off the wall that they simply cannot be taken seriously in even the slightest and it instead comes across as comedic albeit accidentally. The experi-ence may be amusing to some - specifically fans of “Mystery Science Theater 3000” - but others will likely be left bewil-dered. It is similar to becoming stuck in a conversation with a crackpot with no expedient escape.
‘Starbuck’Patrick Huard plays a perpetual screw up who, having been a habitual sperm donor in his youth, discovers that he is the biological father of 533 children - 142 of whom are trying to force the fertility clinic to reveal the true identity of the prolific donor code-named Starbuck. Playing exclusively at The Loft Cinema. (R - 109 minutes)
Stan: Expecting the common recent trend of adult themed comedy ‘French language style’ with English subtitles with ‘Hangover’ films overtones, and yes, the start of ‘Starbuck’ for the first third of the film falls right into that theme, the movie slowly morphs into serious overtones addressing biologi-cal parenthood, older children living with parents, and the topic of rights of those born of sperm donors. As closing credits roll, writer/director Ken Scott left me with the thought, ‘Coming of age, has no age limit’.
Randy: No surprise that there is already a Hollywood remake in the works of this charming French-language Canadian film.
With Vince Vaughn and Chris Pratt listed online to appear in the remake, I’m afraid much of the subtle comedy and heart-warming moments will be lost in translation. See the original and be glad you did, as I predict our American stars will be unable to replicate what makes this so likable.
Joseph: Maybe it is just the “My Name is Earl” withdrawals talk-ing, but “Starbuck” would have been a much better television
sitcom than a feature-length film. The small screen format would not only make better use of the serial nature of early scenes in writer/director Ken Scott’s new comedy but would also be more forgiving of some of its absurd aspects. After all, it all seems somewhat silly - not to mention outlandish. Still, in spite of that and a premise that comes across as contrived, one cannot help but surrender to the story’s good-intentioned sweet-ness and sentimentality.

“Mr. Brooks” (2007): The movie may not succeed as a whole, but Hurt stands out as the sinister alter ego who appears only to the title character (Kevin Costner) ... and coaches him in murder.“The Accidental Tourist” (1988): In one of his multiple teamings with director Lawrence Kasdan, Hurt plays a travel writer coping with the death of his son while getting involved with an offbeat dog trainer (Oscar winner Geena Davis).“Kiss of the Spider Woman” (1985): An Oscar for best actor was Hurt’s reward for playing a prisoner in a South American jail.“The Big Chill” (1983): As part of an ideal acting ensemble, Hurt plays a cynical drug peddler reunited with college friends for a peer’s funeral.

‘Oblivion’ ~ Tom Cruise is likable in this sci-fi drama. The complex script is unique and the spe-cial effects are top-notch. Andrea Riseborough shines. Grade: B+
‘Pain & Gain’ ~ Non-stop entertainment from opening scene to closing frame. This unbeliev-able true story makes ones heck of a dark action comedy. Grade: B+
‘The Big Wedding’ ~The highlight; Heigl throws up on DeNiro. Why do stars choose these bad projects? Props to Keaton & Sarandon for saving this mess. Grade: C-
‘Disconnect’ ~ ‘Crash’ for the online gen-eration. Minus a few plot flaws, it’s expertly directed, professionally acted and close-to-home disturbing. Grade: B+
‘Mud’ ~ Contender for Best Picture, Best Ac-tor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Director, etc. Dramatic, moving and well acted. A must see! Grade: A+
SOUNDBITE SPOTLIGHTThe following quotes were pulled from interviews conducted by AZ Weekly Entertainment Magazine’s film columnists with talent speaking on behalf of movies recently released in theaters.
Actor Tony Shalhoub (‘Pain & Gain’) By Joseph J. Airdo
“Maybe I have a different opinion of him than the average audience member might. I like him for a lot of reasons. First of all, he is a self-made man. He started with very little, worked very hard and achieved a lot. That requires a certain amount of toughness and resilience. And that toughness is revealed over the course of this movie with all of the stuff that he is put through and all of the pain and torture that he has to undergo. He somehow manages to push through it all, endure and exact his revenge.
“Stupidly, I asked that I do a lot of my own [stunts]. I didn’t do all of it, of course. But I really should have let [my stunt double] do more. Here is this guy who is very skilled. He is ready, willing and able to do it. I don’t know wheth-er it was the testosterone-fueled environment that we were in for
a couple of months but I sort of felt like I had to tough it out and there were a couple times that I really wish I hadn’t - espe-cially some of the getting thrown around and thrashed about.
“There was a lot that I felt that I had to endure - certainly not to the degree that the character was but I was blindfolded for a long time, bound to a chair with my hands and feet tied and somewhat roughed up by these gigantic guys. They were not trying to hurt me but, at a certain point while getting into the role, I guess they just didn’t necessar-ily know how incredibly powerful they are. So I had to put up with that and I think that I just kept going back to imagining what my character put up with and how he pulled through it.” – Tony Shalhoub
The scene where Pepper helps Tony replace his arc reactor was filmed using a prosthetic chest, joined to Robert Downey Jr.’s own chest and projecting out an angle.

Social Entrepreneurs Alok Appadurai & Jade Beall had the crazy idea to shake up the apparel world and do what very few clothing companies are willing to do: sacrifice profits in order to stand behind their beliefs. On November 17, 2012, they hosted the Grand Opening for the flagship boutique for Fed By Threads in Tucson, AZ, their humanitarian clothing project, which combines feeding 12 emergency meals to hungry Americans per item sold using sustainable fabrics that are Made-In-America.
Since they launched the company in May 2012, they have fed over 36,894 meals through their humanitarian efforts and with the help of a network of food banks across the country.
As they learned more about the realities of non-organic fabric production, such as cotton requiring 25% of global pesticide use, it became clear they had no choice but to source organic fabrics, even if it meant hacking away at profit margins. Through luck and hard work, they finally found a manufacturer that does in fact combine modern design and sustainable fabrics.
Fed By Threads now uses fully compostable & biodegradable
cellulose-based mailers to ship their apparel, which have two adhesive strips so that they can be used twice. The hang tags they use are made from recycled paper. Their office paper is 100% recycled and then recycled when they are done with it. And all of this raises their costs.
When asked why they are doing things this way when it would be so much easier and more profitable to throw in the towel and be like most other apparel companies, Alok says, “Those who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are usually the ones that do.” Jade quickly adds, “Fed By Threads represents a way of life we feel is important. It offers Americans an opportunity to feed their fellow Americans, protect the environment, and support American jobs.” Alok adds, “Americans are telling us this matters to them. It has been so exciting to be part of the movement to shift how we think about the apparel we wear.”
Fed By Threads is a responsible apparel company that generates 12 emergency meals for hungry Americans from each sustainable, U.S.-worker-made item sold. You can visit them at 435 E. 9th Street in downtown Tucson or online at www.FedByThreads.com.
