Vantage Point director Pete Travis turns his attention from high-profile political assassinations to the high-risk talks that ushered in the end of apartheid while securing the release of Nelson Mandela in this historical drama starring William Hurt, Chiwetel Ejiofer, Mark Strong, and Johnny Lee Miller. The time is the late '80s, a crucial period in the history of South Africa. President P.W. Botha is hanging on to power by a thread as the African National Congress (ANC) takes up arms against apartheid and the country tumbles toward insurrection. A British mining concern called Consolidated Gold is convinced that their interests would be better served in a stable South Africa, and they quietly dispatch Michael Young, their head of public affairs, to open an unofficial dialogue between the bitter rivals. Assembling a reluctant yet brilliant team to pave the way to reconciliation by confronting obstacles that initially seem insurmountable, Young places his trust in ANC leader Thabo Mbeki and Afrikaner philosophy professor Willie Esterhuyse. It is their empathy that will ultimately serve as the catalyst for change by proving more powerful than the terrorist bombs that threaten to disrupt the peaceful dialogue. As the story shifts between Mandela's jail cell, Botha's chambers, ANC headquarters, and a rented car occupied by a British bureaucrat, the prospect for peace becomes more than just a distant hope. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston go to the dogs with Marley & Me, a tale of a couple embarking on the adventure of marriage, career, family, and the world's worst dog. At least that's how writer and newlywed John comes to describe his blonde lab, Marley, when he takes the puppy home and finds that the fluff-ball has an uncanny ability to eat and/or destroy just about anything. As years go by, John and his wife, Jennifer, contemplate having babies and moving across the country, while Marley grows into 100 lbs. of funny, wild, completely untrainable canine companionship -- as well as one of the most important people in the family. Marley & Me is based on the best-selling autobiographical book by columnist John Grogan. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

Actress-turned-director Lori Petty makes her feature directorial debut with this period drama set in 1976 that explores a typical day in the life of a decidedly atypical teen named Agnes. Some folks have the luxury of living each day to the fullest, but for Agnes every day is a grueling struggle for survival; her mother is strung out on drugs, her home has been overrun by degenerates, and her only father figure is a pimp. For Agnes and her two younger sisters, this particular day will be marked by both tragedy and triumph, but which will resonate most in the days and weeks to follow? Selma Blair, Bokeem Woodbine, and David Alan Grier star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

For the fifth and final season of this groundbreaking urban drama, series creator David Simon returns to his old stomping grounds at the Baltimore Sun, where he worked for many years as a crime reporter, to examine the media's role in modern society. This fictionalized version of what was once a newspaper of record is experiencing tough economic times, precipitating layoffs and a hollow mantra from management to "do more with less." These marching orders are met with derision by Gus Haynes (Clark Johnson), an old-school City Desk editor who encourages eager young journalists such as Alma Gutierrez (Michelle Paress) to hone their craft. The cutbacks at the Sun mirror those at City Hall, where Mayor Carcetti (Aidan Gillen) -- who's too busy angling for a gubernatorial run and convicting corrupt politico Clay Davis (Isiah Whitlock Jr.) to care-slashes the police budget to save money. But the decimation of the department's morale and matériel is too much for Jimmy McNulty (Dominic West). The maverick detective, who is not only back in Homicide but regressing to his tomcatting ways, fabricates a grisly crime that catches the eye of self-serving Sun reporter Scott Templeton (Tom McCarthy). And although his sensational articles about a rampaging serial killer are met with skepticism by Haynes, they're championed by his prize-hungry bosses. McNulty's scheme doesn't sit well with his partner Bunk (Wendell Pierce), but is embraced by Det. Freamon (Clarke Peters) if the means justify the restoration of funding to pursue drug lord Marlo Stanfield (Jamie Hector). Free of law-enforcement scrutiny, Marlo shields himself with onetime Barksdale attorney Maurice Levy (Michael Kostroff) on a quest to rule the entire city's drug trade, and tempts fate by luring stickup artist Omar (Michael K. Williams) back to town to settle an old score. Meanwhile, former addict Bubbles (Andre Royo) struggles to stay clean, but finds it hard to face his demons at Narcotics Anonymous meetings. ~ Joe Friedrich, Rovi

David Simon's masterful social commentary went back to school, quite literally, in the fourth season, which focuses on Baltimore's crumbling education system. A relevant link to its first three seasons is supplied by Roland "Prez" Pryzbylewski (Jim True-Frost), who left the police department to become a teacher at Edward Tilghman Middle School, a hardscrabble institution on life support that services a low-income, drug-infested neighborhood. (Incidentally, Prez's career path is similar to one of the series' producers, Ed Burns). His eighth-grade math class includes a close-knit quartet of friends -- Randy Wagstaff (Maestro Harrell), Michael Lee (Tristan Wilds), Duquan "Dukie" Weems (Jermaine Crawford) and Namond Brice (Julito McCullum). The wisecracking Brice is ignominiously selected to be part of a university experiment studying at-risk kids, which counts a former police commander, Bunny Colvin (Robert Wisdom), as a consultant. Out on the corners, Marlo Stanfield (Jamie Hector) strengthens his grip on the city's West Side narcotics trade once dominated by the Barksdale gang, and with his cold-blooded lieutenants, Chris (Gbenga Akinnagbe) and Snoop (Felicia Pearson), devises an ingenious method to hide the collateral damage of his ascent from the law. This sleight-of-hand bedevils detectives Freamon (Clarke Peters), Greggs (Sonja Sohn) and Bunk (Wendell Pierce). The trio are flummoxed by the lack of victims that would surely coincide with Marlo's ever-widening domain, a savage power grab that also threatens the relative peace of the New Day Co-Op under East Side pooh-bah Proposition Joe (Robert F. Chew). Meanwhile, the Democratic primary in the city's mayoral campaign pits the entrenched African-American incumbent, Clarence Royce (Glynn Turman), against Councilman Tommy Carcetti (Aidan Gillen), a scrappy politico with a savvy campaign manager in Norman Wilson (Reg E. Cathey), but a long shot to become Charm City's first white chief executive in years. ~ Joe Friedrich, Rovi

The Wire: Time After Time
Season Three of The Wire opens with the demolition of Baltimore's notorious Franklin Terrace towers, the home base of Avon Barksdale's (Wood Harris) crew, currently under the supervision of Stringer Bell (Idris Elba). Rather than worry about expanding his control, through violence and intimidation, of the corners of West Baltimore, Stringer explains to his lieutenants that he plans to make money by offering the other gangs in on their New York drug supply, and sharing the corners with them. Lieutenant Daniels (Lance Reddick) and his unit are doing surveillance on Cheese (Method Man), one of Proposition Joe's dealers, and begin to realize that the phones that the street dealers use never reach the higher-ups in the organization. They have a wire up on one talkative dealer, who happens to be Prop Joe's nephew, and they decide to bust someone higher on the food chain in hopes that Prop Joe will promote the talker. "What makes you think they'll promote the wrong man?" asks Commissioner Burrell (Frankie Faison), to which Daniels responds, "We do it all the time." Daniels also finds out that Mayor Royce (Glynn Turman) is holding up his promotion because his wife, Marla (Maria Broom) is planning to run for the city council against one of the mayor's cronies. An ambitious councilman, Tommy Carcetti (Aidan Gillen) notices an uptick in violent crimes in the city, and decides to go after the mayor, inviting the media to watch him criticize Burrell at a hearing. This leads Burrell and Rawls to pressure their majors, including Bunny Colvin (Robert Wisdom) who is approaching his thirty year pension, to bring the murder rate down. Cutty (Chad L. Coleman), a former drug soldier, gets out of prison after fourteen years, and gets a handout from Avon, who plans to get out soon himself. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

Season three of The Wire continues the series' even-handed dissection of the Baltimore "drug wars," as seen through the eyes of both the police investigators and the drug lords. With charismatic hoodlum Stringer Bell (Idris Elba) emerging as the unofficial leader of the Barksdale drug empire, and with narcotics detective James McNulty (Dominic West) allowing his personal demons to catch up with him
an ever-increasing dependence upon booze, a curious dichotomy is established whereby Stringer often comes off as the more mentally stable and morally responsible of the two men. Even so, Stringer and McNulty are but two of the series' 40-plus recurring characters, meaning that their individual travails are never permitted to overwhelm the series' overall narrative thrust. Dictating the direction in which the 12 episodes of season three will follow is a burgeoning political-reform movement in Baltimore, with the ongoing drug investigation becoming a volatile campaign tool. Before long, "body counts" on both sides are being publicly tallied in a manner that dredges up grim memories of Vietnam. And though the story arcs have become more complex and multi-layered, there is still plenty of time to develop such quirky vignettes as the "trading" of drug-free urine from Baltimore's daycare centers. The season's final episode is titled "Mission Accomplished" -- as grotesquely ironic as when those same two words were prematurely applied to war in Iraq. The most startling development of the season-three finale is the sudden demise of one of the series' main players...with his greatest enemy becoming his biggest mourner. ~ Rovi

The Baltimore "drug wars" enter a new phase (with a few diversions along the way) as The Wire launches its second season of 12 hour-long episodes. Although he was instrumental in weakening the Barksdale drug empire during the previous season, narcotics-division detective James McNulty (Dominic West) ruffled too many high-ranking feathers in the process, and has been demoted and reassigned to the Baltimore Police Harbor Unit. Swallowing his pride, McNulty is able to unearth a hotbed of corruption and duplicity within the Dockworker's Union, his investigation sparked by the recovery of a woman's body floating in the harbor -- which in turn leads to the recovery of 13 other corpses, all female. This season, the fly in the ointment vis-à-vis the "negotiations" between the good guys and the bad guys is Ziggy Sobotka (James Ransome), the loose-cannon son of the Union's secretary treasurer, Frank Sobotka (Chris Bauer). These new plot developments do not in any way eclipse the Baltimore PD's ongoing campaign to bring the drug-dealing Barksdale family to its knees. In fact, one of the predominant subplots involves the willingness of the Barksdales' main rival, Omar Little (Michael K. Williams), to testify in court...if he lives that long. The season's final episode is titled "Port in a Storm" -- and be assured that this port will be tragically elusive to several of the main characters. ~ Rovi

Can a high-attitude African-American politician who says what he thinks stand a chance in a presidential campaign? Mays Gilliam (Chris Rock) is a straight-talking alderman representing a inner-city neighborhood in Washington, D.C. In the midst of a hard-fought race for the White House, the Democratic presidential and vice-presidential candidates are killed in an airline crash, and with little time to prepare a new campaign, the Republican candidate, Vice President Brian Lewis (Nick Searcy), seems all but guaranteed to win. With practically nothing to loose, party head Martin Geller (Dylan Baker) approaches Gilliam and asks him to stand as the Democrat's presidential candidate. While Gilliam is dubious at first, before long his streetwise style and willingness to face the issues head-on earns him surprising figures in the polls, especially after he persuades his short-fused older brother, Mitch Gilliam (Bernie Mac), to join the ticket as vice presidential candidate -- a big jump for a bail bondsman. Gilliam's love life also becomes more complicated as his ex-girlfriend Kim (Robin Givens) decides she wants him back now that he has a shot at the White House, even though Gilliam only has eyes for Lisa (Tamala Jones). Head of State marked the directorial debut for comic and actor Chris Rock, who also co-wrote and co-produced the film. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Setting the tone for all seasons to come, season one of HBO's The Wire divides its attention equally between cops and dealers, offering a fascinatingly objective overview of the Baltimore drug scene. The weekly, hour-long series also pays homage to its spiritual predecessor, Homicide: Life on the Street (both series were created by Tom Fontana), by basing its debut episode (originally telecast June 2, 2002) on the same book (by David Simon) that inspired the earlier program. After drug dealer D'Angelo Barksdale (Larry Gilliard Jr.) beats a murder rap, Detective James McNulty (Dominic West) vows never to let D'Angelo out of his sight, hoping that the criminal will lead him to an even bigger fish -- namely, D'Angelo's uncle, drug kingpin Avon Barksdale (Wood Harris). McNulty's task is complicated by a variety of things, including the corruption and dissension within the police department -- which in turn hampers the effectiveness of the man leading the investigation of the Barksdale empire, Lt. Cedric Daniels (Lance Reddick). Meanwhile, Avon Barksdale and his second-in-command, Stringer Bell (Idris Elba), are likewise bedeviled with their own personal and professional problems as they gear up to do battle against their underworld rivals. Throughout the series' first 13 episodes, police officers and criminals alike are seen to possess their own curious codes of honor and rules of conduct, allowing viewers to empathize with both the hunter and the hunted (without, of course, ever completely siding with the "bad guys"). And though the season finale is titled "Sentencing," it is clear that the story is far from over. ~ Rovi

Can a beautiful and internationally famous American actress find happiness with a frumpy British bookstore clerk? She can -- at least for a while, it seems -- in Notting Hill. William Thacker (played by Hugh Grant) is a bookseller at a shop in the Notting Hill district in West London, who shares a house with an eccentric Welsh friend, Spike (Rhys Ifans). One day, William is minding the store when in strolls Anna Scott (Julia Roberts), a lovely and well-known actress from the United States who is in London working on a film. She buys a book from William, and she is polite and charming in the way a famous actress would be with a star-struck sales clerk. Their relationship would logically end there, if William didn't run out a few minutes later to buy some juice. While dashing back to the shop, he bumps into Anna on the street, spilling juice all over her blouse. Since he lives nearby, William politely offers to let her stop by his house to clean up; since William seems harmless enough, Anna agrees. When Anna has to stop back to pick up a bag she left at William's house, they kiss -- just in time for Spike to show up. A romance slowly blooms as his friends and family (not to mention the world at large) wonder out loud what he's doing dating a movie star. Notting Hill reunites Hugh Grant with producer Duncan Kenworthy and screenwriter Richard Curtis, who previously worked together on the international hit Four Weddings And A Funeral. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

"They're the toughest anti-terrorist strike force in the world. But they've never faced an enemy like this." The "they" mentioned in the ad copy for Death Train are headed by Pierce Brosnan. The enemy is rogue Russian general Christopher Lee, who has stolen two nuclear bombs, intending to hold the world for ransom. The bombs are placed on two trains, which are then engaged in a breakneck race by the general via remote control. Things really get dangerous when one of the trains is hijacked! Alexandra Paul and Patrick Stewart also star in this middling actioner, which manages to stir up suspense only during the climactic detonation sequence. Originally titled Alastair MacLean's Death Train when it premiered over the USA Cable Network on April 14, 1993, the film was retitled Detonator for its theatrical release. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Bob Hoskins plays George, a tough but basically goodhearted British mob flunky, recently released from prison, where he'd served a term to cover up for his gangster boss (Michael Caine). Still willing to be everyone's doormat, George agrees to act as chauffeur for Simone (Cathy Tyson), a haughty, high-priced call girl. They don't like each other at first, but George begins to fall for her and take a protective interest. She implores him to help her find her only truly friend, a prostitute named Cathy (Kate Hardie). Touched by this devotion, George locates the girl, only to be chagrined to learn that Simone and Cathy are lovers. Hoskins is used and abused by so many people in Mona Lisa that when the worm finally does turn, you feel like cheering--even though it doesn't make him any happier.

Saigon: Year of the Cat is a low-budget drama about the fall of Saigon. The film was made for the BBC in 1983. It was one of many television projects that director Stephen Frears (High Fidelity) worked on in the early part of his career. Playwright David Hare (Plenty) wrote the script. Judi Dench plays Barbara Dean, a depressed loan officer working for a British bank in Saigon in 1974. Barbara politely wards off the advances of her Scottish co-worker, Donald (Roger Rees), who does not share her respect for the Vietnamese people. She also avoids getting involved with Frank (Wallace Shawn), an American embassy employee with whom she plays bridge. When she meets Bob (Frederic Forrest), however, she's immediately attracted to him. She soon learns that while Bob poses as a cultural attaché, he actually works for the CIA. When Bob belatedly recognizes her attraction, he opens up to her, and they become lovers. Bob hears from a reliable intelligence source that the North Vietnamese are stepping up their aggression and plan to take Saigon soon. He tries to convince his boss, Jack Ockham (Josef Sommer), and the U.S. ambassador (E.G. Marshall) to prepare for the fall of the city by evacuating the South Vietnamese citizens who have worked most closely with the U.S. government. The ambassador does not want to appear to be abandoning President Thieu's regime. He refuses to credit Bob's report. Meanwhile, as the crisis looms, Barbara is growing despondent because Bob is not spending time with her, and because there's little she can do to help her South Vietnamese friends get out of the country. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

I guess he's American Apparel founder Dov Charney's in this billboard from NY's Lower East Side, via the Forward.
Beside the photo of Allen dressed as a Hasid are the words âder heyliker rebeâ â âthe holy rebbe.â Alex Spunt of AA told the Forward, âWoody Allen is our spiritual leader.â
I'm looking around Los Angeles to see if American Apparel, which is based here, has put the same ad up. Let me know if you see it.
As for Charney, a self-described "Jewish hustler," he has been a conspicuous character, with a reputation for racy ads and the cloud of harassment accusations that the Jewish Journal wrote about in this cover story two years ago. (âI could pull my penis out right now," he told The Journal, "and I guarantee you no one would be offended.â)

GetReligion has a wrap-up of the myriad stories previewing Pope Benedict XVI's visit to Brazil, which began Wednesday. It discusses the two main story lines: that the conservative pontiff will be facing his long-term foe—Catholicism's "liberation theology," a socialist remnant that persists in South America—and the raise of Protestantism.
As is often the case, GetReligion, which critiques the way we—the media—cover religion, takes issue with the banging of the cliche gong.

There has been plenty of accusations that Walt Disney was an anti-Semite—remember the "Simpsons" episode where Bart and Lisa watch the video of Itchy and Scratchy Land founder Roger Myers Sr., "who loved everyone and was loved by all, except in 1938, when he was heavily criticized for his controversial release Nazi Supermen Are Our Superiors"?— but who knew Mickey hates the Jews?
From the NY Daily News:
Meet Farfur, a life-size clone of Walt Disney's star, complete with big ears, a squeaky voice, a tuxedo with tails, a red bow tie and white gloves.
Starring on Hamas' new kiddie TV show "Tomorrow's Pioneers," Farfur tells children to drink milk, pray daily - and take up AK-47 assault rifles to defeat Israel and the U.S.
Farfur sings, dances and taunts President Bush, Secretary of State Rice, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who has been in a coma for months.
"We will win, Bush!" Farfur sang on a recent episode. "We will win, Condoleezza [Rice]. We will win, Olmert. We will win, Sharon! Ah, Sharon is dead," he then quipped.
A little girl named Saraa serves as the terror mouse's sidekick and says things like, "We want to resist against the enemy, and we don't want to surrender."

Syndicated columnist Cal Thomas, who I've seen preach at Bel-Air Presbyterian, thinks it might be. Here's what he has to say in a column that opens with the closure of conservative Christian powerhouse Dr. D. James Kennedy's Center for Reclaiming America:
Nearly 30 years after religious conservatives decided to re-enter the political arena—after abandoning it as "dirty" and leading to compromise—what do they have to show for it? The country remains sharply divided and the reconciling message they used to preach has been obscured by the crass pursuit of the golden ring of political power. In the end, they got neither the power, nor the Kingdom; only the glory and even that is now fading, as these older leaders pass from the scene.
This is not to say there is no role for conservative Christians in the civic life of their nation. There is. But Christians must first understand that the issues they most care about—abortion, same-sex marriage and cultural rot—are not caused by bad politics, but are matters of the heart and soul. Some evangelicals wish to broaden the political agenda beyond these issues to poverty, social justice and the environment. Politics can never completely cure the ills of any of these, but the message Christians bring about salvation and redemption can. Besides, they can never "convert" people to their point of view.
Too many conservative Christians have focused on the "seen" rather than the "unseen," thinking appearances at the White House, or on "Meet the Press," is evidence that they are making a difference. And too much attention has been paid to individual personalities, rather than to the One these preachers had originally been called to exalt.
To paraphrase a verse familiar to most Christians, what shall it profit a man if he gains the White House, but loses his own soul?
Christians are also fond of saying God never closes one door without opening another door. The "door" of the Center for Reclaiming America has closed. The new doors can produce a more effective politics, if what's on the other side is based on a message that has less to do with partisanship and more to do with the One who transcends all politics and Who lends His power only to those who will use it as He instructed.

This is why I tell my friends I don't vote for political candidates based on their religious beliefs: Politicians are shapeshifters who say what you want to hear. So Sunday's story in the Chicago Tribune—"Democrats find religion on the campaign trail"—came as no surprise. Three years ago, George Bush got a second term as president by using the Jedi force of evangelical activists. Well, it looks like some Republicans have lost religion—with sins like those of former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, it's difficult to talk pious without being hypocritical—but the Democrats are now talking about their spirituality.
Reversing recent political history, it's the leading Republican candidates who for various reasons have so far been reluctant to speak too much about matters of faith.
Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, a divorced Catholic, holds liberal views on abortion and gay rights. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), a divorced Episcopalian, has a tense relationship with leaders of the Religious Right. And former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is a devout Mormon whose religion arouses suspicion among many evangelicals.
"Give the advantage to the Democrats at this point," said Rich Cizik, vice president for governmental affairs for the National Association of Evangelicals. "You would have to conclude that the Democrats have a lot more interest in faith than the Republicans based on what they've had to say."
To sort through the campaign noise for those who want to know what the candidates believe, the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life created this website.

I'm sitting at my new desk, working on a newly ordered computer, in Koreatown. After leaving the Daily News on Thursday and spending most of the three-day weekend in Yosemite with my wife, I'm settling into my digs at the Jewish Journal. Blogging will be a bit sporadic for a few days, but I'll be posting fresh pieces at least daily.

Despite what many conservative religious parents believe â I know; I grew up with them â American universities are not brainwashing their children to be godless intellectuals. According to the International Herald Tribune, which interviewed dozens of university officials, "students are drawn to religion and spirituality with more fervor than at any time they can remember."
University officials explained the surge of interest in religion as partly a result of the rise of the religious right in politics, which they said has made questions of faith more talked about generally. In addition, they said, the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, by Islamic zealots underscored for many the influence of religion on world affairs.
And an influx of evangelical students at secular universities, along with an increasing number of international students, has meant that students arrive with a broader array of religious experiences.
Gomes said a more diverse student body at Harvard had meant that "the place is more representative of mainstream America."
"That provides a group of people who don't leave their religion at home," he said.
However, UCLA's Spirituality in Higher Education study reported in 2003 that college students have high levels of spirituality—but that schools typically do a poor job supporting it.

Orlando Brown Wants His Ex-Wife To Dial His Fart
Former Brown and Raven Brown was arrested for breaking into his ex-wife's foreclosed house and trashing it.
According to court documents, Mira Brown accused her former husband of entering her home while she was away on vacation. The two have been divorced since 2004.While she was on vacation July 21 through Aug. 28, someone broke the front storm door, entered her home, tore down the basement curtains, defecated in a basement toilet and ransacked her closet, according to court documents.
She also received two text messages from Orlando Brown's phone before she returned, one of which stated that he had toured her house, the records say.
Deuce fail. If you're going to break into someone's place and drop a deuce, make it count. Najeh thinks the closet is a fine place to start. If you choose to be classy and drop one in the vicinity of a toilet, make it an upper decker. Make a Jackson Pollock in a room of your choosing. Perhaps one with carpet and plenty of upholstery. The possibilities are endless. Maybe we're being too hard on Orlando. It's bad enough being named after Orlando Jones. Combine that with getting an angry pirate from Jeff Triplette and it's easy to see how a washed up OT might lose his mind.

Online Reservations
Food is always excellent. Service ebbs and flows erratically at times.
MUA is a super hip, very oaklandy restaurant. Has a dj and a couple bars. Pretty good food, pretty good services. Extensive cocktail, wine, and beer menu. Great for tapas.
That we ordered about 15 dishes to share among 4 ppl and 2 drinks each.
We had a great time here. Food was delicious and large selection of drinks. Would not hesitate to come back again.
Following most new restaurant trends (unfortunately), MUA is very noisy. Diffincult to talk to each other, even in a group of 5. Really good food, nice atmosphere, great bar drinks. Which it could be less noisy (not quiet, just a little less noisy).
the entire experience was wonderful. but deserts disappointing.
Loved this place... Open, funky, vibrant , upscale-casual local with A1 Mixologists and a TASTY menu.
I saw Mua featured on Check Please Bay Area and I fell in love with it. I love how many small plates there are--perfect for sharing and perfect to fill you up while drinking several cocktails from the bar. Our party had a 95 year old and a girl on crutches and both the hostess and the waitress were very accommodating. The ambiance was funky and vibrant, yet I felt comfortable and I could hear what everyone was saying at the table. The food came out at a great pace and we all loved our entrees. I definitely want to come again with a big group and hang out. Great find.
We recently went to Mua for a birthday. The food was great and the drinks yummy. We had two younger kids with us, and the ambiance was perfect for them. We ordered tons of sides and shared our dishes family style. A highlight is there are a lot of vegetarian options as well as meet options.
The hostess was very welcoming and set the scene for excellent service and food. There were dietary restrictions at our table and the wait staff was very helpful in selecting appropriate choices. All food was fresh and cooked perfectly. The artichoke appetizer could have been cooked a few minutes longer but the tarragon aioli was perfection. Everyone at the table wants to return and test out other menu items.
Have been going here since it opened. I live in SF so it's more of a special occasion to leave the city kind of deal. Amazing food, amazing staff. Can't recommend it enough. I recommend it to anyone looking for a great dinner in Oakland.
We live in Santa Rosa and we're heading to Oakland for the Jack Johnson concert at the Fox theater. I picked this restaurant through the Internet and got lucky. It looked interesting. It had good reviews and an interesting menu for gluten-free individuals. The ambience looked upbeat and eclectic. It met all of these parameters and more. We couldn't have been more pleased with the energetic, upbeat and eclectic atmosphere. Every menu item we ordered was terrific including the two desserts. It became the new favorite restaurant of the two13-year-olds on the trip.
Passing through Oakland and decided to try MUA. Not easy to find, and harder to find parking. The menu was eclectic but hit the spot, in a "comfort food" sort of way. Our Waitress was helpful and attentive. The chicken Milanese was very good, as were the burgers.
we always go to MUA when we come to Berkeley! It's a favorite
Very hip restaurant with lots of eye catching art and decor, food and service were excellent. I loved the Beef Carpaccio | manchego, arugula, pine nut dish and Shiitake Mushroom| herb goat cheese crostini, arugula. My husband loved the Lamb Cheeks which were a little to rich and heavy for me. We were a party of ten and the food and drinks came at a great pace. One downer was the large fans were on high and it was a bit cold, didn't take my coat off the whole time. When I asked if they could turn them down the response was they were all on one switch. They might want to at least be able to turn the speed down. Otherwise a great dining experience.
Had a second dining experience at Mua this week. Service, food, and overall satisfaction high marks. The small plates are each perfect alone and in combo with other selections. Haven't made it to selections from the entrée list due to allegiance to small plates. This is a definite keeper.
We had 8 people for my friends' spontaneous Birthday party meet at MUA on Monday night and everything flowed perfectly. The staff was great, the food was hot and delicious, (everything I ate was great), and there was plenty of room to roam around the big table to schmooze. I loved that we could find somewhere to go on a Monday night too, that could be a problem! No hassles, easy parking... The wine list was extensive and my happy hour Gimlet was very tasty. They use real juice! Super fun. Thanks MUA!
this upscale trendy bar/restaurant is nothing short of fun. the art work is spectacular if you appreciate outsider art. people were sitting at the bar when we came to dinner and they were still there when we left...hope no one was driving! food was great. the hamburger was one of the best i've had and the caesar salad - yum. great place to go if you like to be part of a young and with it crowd...i'm old and with it and it worked for me too!
I love this place - the service is always friendly and fantastic - the food is reliable GREAT - the ambiance has something for everyone - a loud gigantic room with art on the walls, and smaller slightly quieter rooms upstairs for old people like me - and the price is RIGHT. You actually leave feeling like the whole experience was worth it. unlike many of these trendy new hipster restaurants where you pay ruinously expensive prices and leave feeling hungry. Everyone i bring here LOVES it and I will come back again and again -it's really my GO TO restaurant near downtown oakland.
Loved this restaurant. Was expecting a loud bar with mediocre bar food but found otherwise when I got to Mua. My party of six was able to sit comfortably in one of the louder parts of the restaurant and could easily hear each other due to the more than ample space between tables. I was also pleasantly surprised by our waiters, who came by frequently and made sure everything was going well. The food was amazing. Not at all what I expected. I had the po' boy and I can honestly say it was the best sandwich I've ever had. Everything was great. 5 stars. Will definitely come back many many times.
Nicely decorated and great ambient. Food is creative and taste very nice!
Our group was looking for a pace to have drinks and share appetizers and this fit the bill perfectly. the bar menu was creative and the drinks were excellent. The Appetizers were also creative,varied and delicious. This is not the place to go if you are in a rush or want a quiet and romantic evening. But saying that, the ambiance is really pretty terrific. The wait staff were friendly and helpful with a great sense of humor. It is a large dining area so the noise level is pretty high but it seemed to work out well. Can't wait to go back for dinner.
One of the best restaurants in the Bay Area! Run don't walk!
A great Oakland vibe, diverse crowd, a deejay and live music, 3 bars, great energy. Some menu items from Soizic---like the smoked trout salad, mache in a salad (I missed the truffle oil). The fries and steak out of this world. Stormy Oakland delicious. You want to have some fun, go the Mua's.
The Mac n cheese is outstanding as is the tagine and beet salad
As usual we had a wonerful dining experience. The Mussels are always my favorite.
First off, our server was amazing. Wish I had caught her name, but it was so loud I couldn't hear anything she said. Regardless, she was incredibly on task despite it being a busy night, all our drinks were well-timed, refills seemed to happen magically, food orders were perfect (despite having a late-comer to our party), and she was friendly and responsive all night. Second, food was just excellent. Husband and I were new, but our 4 friends joining us were regulars and ordered dishes we wouldn't have thought. Experimenting here is well-rewarded! All of our meals were top-notch. Only complaint, too loud. On us for choosing the wrong place for a group of 6 - although I couldn't imagine a romantic two-person table here, either.
Love the spot! My Steak was amazing (prepared RARE!!!!) EXCELLENT!!! Great Wine List As Well!! DJ was awesome as well
we were a party of seven and all loved the vibe and the food. Very good service. Only thing we didn't like was softshell crab poorboy. Try the mac and cheese, crabcakes, cheek, fried chicken, arugula. We shared appetizers which was a lot of fun.
We are never disappointed here -- brussel sprouts and calamari were big hits, as well as the burgers. We were there for lunch, but were tempted to return for their specialty cocktails! Servers are excellent and food is always delish. Thanks, MUA!
Mua is a gem in Oakland. An eclectic, edgy place with a very cool ambiance. Great food, amazing service. My husband had the fried chicken...and LOVED it! The mac and cheese (no cheese) was simply amazing. I can't wait to tell my friends about this place!
My wife and I were looking for a nice restaurant near The New Parkway Theater to grab dinner before a movie, and I found Mua. It's a huge restaurant. You don't realize how much space there is until you walk around it. The tapas style menu is great and each plate provides plenty of food for two people. My wife and I order four plates to share and one just for me, the tuna sashimi. The wine and drinks menu is good and gives you lots of options. Our server was prompt and cordial and the food was served in less than 15 min for the amount of people they serve.
We had a great time in the festive atmosphere of Mua. Food, drinks, and especially service was great!
Great food, lots of seating so great for groups, cool decor and good service.
I came here on a double date - we made a reservation for a Monday night just in case and felt that was worth it for sure. Lots of available seats but still busy and we wanted to be safe. Called ahead when we knew we'd be a few minutes late and they were understanding, Awesome service - they were friendly and informative; drinks and food came out quickly and in good order (not everything all at once). Our server was friendly and knowledgeable (thanks, Charlie!) and the food was fantastic. Definitely will be coming back.
Dance party like atmosphere in Midtown. Felt like we were in a SoMa dance club. Service was great although the waitress forgot to tell us about the night's specials. She mentioned the items to the table right next to us There is a large drink list and a bunch of small plates. We had the Persimmon-Quinoa Salad, Beef Bone Marrow, Soft Shell Crab Sandwich, and Raspberry Bread Pudding. All good except for the Bone Marrow. There is not much to dig out from the bones. Great to have a place like this in Oakland.
Excellent vegetarian options. The food was fresh and prepared and seasoned perfectly
Good food great service can only comment on dinner experience
Really interesting variety of dishes. Suggest doing the small plates and maybe a large plate so you can try a lot of different dishes. Great drinks.
Been meaning to check out MUA - was a big fan of Soizic. Nice venue, service and food. Will be back.
Great space and decor. Well prepared dishes without being fussy. Great cocktails. Definitely coming back!
Food is imaginative and carefully prepared, delicious and good portions. The appetizers are especially creative. Service is friendly and helpful but not intrusive. The only thing I would change is to lower the volume on the music.
Great small plates menu and clever cocktails. Cool spot with energetic atmosphere and unique layout. Ate in the chicken coop upstairs and enjoyed every bite. Love the padron peppers, brussel sprouts and grilled romaine caesar salad.
My wife and I went to Mua for her birthday dinner. The food was great, we had the Mac and "cheese", the tuna tartar, tagine and grilled salmon the tagine was amazing with great cold weather flavors and meat that fell off the bone. The salmon was also delicious with bacon and spinach. We both liked the ginger snap cocktail as well. Unfortunately, and this is no fault of the restaurant's, our car had a smashed window when we got back. Mua has numerous signs warning patrons not to leave valuables in their car which is helpful. We didn't have anything in our car, and nothing was stolen but they did smash a window and look around. It's a great place to eat, just be very mindful of where you park and don't leave anything In your car.
It was my first time there with a party of nine and everyone on staff was great and the food was excellent! Totally recommending this to friends/first time oakland visitors etc. I was super pleased and will, for sure, be back.
MUA provided a unique dining experience. Great menu and selection of small plate offerings, including beef bone marrow, grilled romaine lettuce and Brussels sprouts. Tried the garlic prawns, could have been more seasoned. Bone marrow actually were great with a bit more salt added. Cocktails were fantastic. Overall, a most pleasurable evening, and we will be back.
We cannot eat at Mua without ordering the Crispy Tofu - we love it! This time we also added the Salmon, which was tasty too. I loved that it was served on a plate of wilted (I believe) greens - a nice change from a side salad! I do not know our servers name, but I remember that she was brunette and got to work via her bike. She was great! very welcoming and focused on bringing delight to our every need…the perfect attendant.
When I mentioned a cocktail that I had seen on a MUA menu online but that I didn't see on the drink list, our waitress asked the bartender if he knew the drink. He didn't, but was up to the challenge and offered to make me a drink based on the flavors I described. It was excellent and I really appreciated the effort from both of them. We also sat on our table for awhile and never felt rushed and experienced the right amount of attention. Loved the mac n cheese made with squash instead of cheese. Very decadent.
We had a wonderful time at Mua on a Friday night. Our waiter was one of the best I've had in a long time....attentive, knowledgable,and fun. Food service was fast... an unexpected treat for Friday night... and the place was full. The Mac and Cheese (no cheese just butternut squash) was unbelievably good. I will return often.
the best chicken breast I've ever had and the beet salad was superb! Highly recommended!

The NFL pressured ESPN into pulling out of a joint project with PBS' Frontline in producing a documentary about concussions, according to the New York Times.
Frontline and ESPN had been working on the investigation into head injuries for more than a year. While it will be televised in October, ESPN was pressured into backing out of the project after a film trailer was released earlier this month, the Times reported.
According to the report, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, NFL Network president Steve Bornstein, ESPN president John Skipper and ESPN executive vice president for production John Wildhack met for lunch at Patroon, a Manhattan restaurant near the NFL's headquarters. League officials reportedly expressed their opposition to the direction of the documentary, which implied that the league was looking the other way from evidence that players were sustaining long-term brain trauma.
"At no time did we formally or informally ask them to divorce themselves from the project," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said. "We know the movie was happening and the book was happening, and we respond to them as best we can. We deny that we pressured them."
ESPN spokesman Chris LaPlaca said that its decision to pull out of the project had nothing to do with its contractual relationship with the NFL. ESPN said in a statement that it was ending its association with Frontline because of a lack of editorial control in the documentary. ESPN pays the NFL more than $1 billion a year to air Monday Night Football.
Raney Aronson-Rath, a Frontline executive producer, said that the ESPN executives knew from the beginning that Frontline had editorial control while ESPN controlled what it televised or put on its web sites.
The documentary is scheduled to air on Oct. 8.
