| | | Magic's Kingdom: Phoenix Rapper MC Magic's Lucrative Brand BY ANTHONY SANDOVAL  Marco Cardenas looks and acts like a media mogul. He walks with the confidence of a man backed by a multimillion-dollar contract, and he dresses the part, too: Usually all white, from head to toe. "Cocaine white," he likes to call it.

So it is both surprising and fortuitous that a place like Bootleggers would come about. In the corner of a North Phoenix strip mall at 32nd Street and Shea Boulevard, th... more >> | | | | | | Elysium: Heavy Allegoric Sci-Fi Even Matt Damon Can't Save BY STEPHANIE ZACHAREK  Movie stars shouldn't be subject to the rules of gravity, as we mere mortals are. One of the great pleasures of watching actors is to see them move, and when yesterday's youngsters start creaking, we feel it in our joints. That's not to say actors can't age gracefully, or that they should do whatever it takes to stay looking young. But the wrong role can make a still-youthful actor appear worn ou... more >> | | | | | | | | Chow Bella Chef-owner Christopher Van Arsdale, the one-man show behind Scottsdale's BYOB Café Monarch, has left the restaurant he started six years ago.
