Home Grown: Phoenix Pharmacy
Mail Tribune – Dec 13, 2004
EDITOR’S NOTE: This is one in a weekly series of profiles on locally owned and operated businesses in Southern Oregon. What do you do and how long have you been doing it? We do pretty much all the typical pharmacy lines and emphasize medical equipment, supplies and home care items. This pharmacy has been operating for 30 years and I’ve owned it since 1991. Advertisement How long have you lived in the Rogue Valley? Since 1990. I moved down from Portland to buy the pharmacy and worked for the previous owner, Denny Ferrin, for a year before purchasing the store. What inspired you to go into this line of work? I worked at a pharmacy while I was in high school in Illinois and that interested me quite a bit.

But it was South Korea that emerged as the new home of excitingly extreme Asian cinema, with bizarre export offerings ranging from the acclaimed serial-killer thriller Memories of Murder, through the ghostly chiller A Tale of Two Sisters, to the revenge-laden comic-book fable Oldboy – great film, shame about the octopus. Moving swiftly over the horrors of Sex Lives of the Potato Men, there was also an encouraging upswing in the output of the British film industry. Mike Leigh’s period drama Vera Drake kicked off the London Film Festival in fine style in October, with other home-grown highlights including Roger Michell’s Enduring Love, a spine-tingling adaptation of Ian McEwan’s novel of tragic obsession. Central to the latter’s haunting power were compelling performances from the charismatic Daniel Craig (who also brought some much-needed depth to the post-Lock, Stock crime pic Layer Cake) and the mercurial Rhys Ifans, who recently performed a dazzling impression of Peter Cook in the TV production Not Only But Always. As for my favourite British actor, Paul Bettany, this year he adapted with equal dexterity to the torturous demands of Dogville, a stripped-down drama from Danish prankster Lars von Trier, and to the featherweight comedy of Wimbledon, a likeably inconsequential romantic comedy packed with added feel-good fluff. The highlight of the year, however, was Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, a dreamy fantasy from the French director Michel Gondry that boasted a unique blend of kooky sci-fi invention and heartbreaking emotional honesty. Based on a terrifically adventurous screenplay by the ubiquitous Charlie Kaufman (Adaptation, Being John Malkovich), Eternal Sunshine featured a career-best performance by Jim Carrey, who abandoned the rubber-faced antics of yore to build on the more adventurous promise of The Truman Show and Man on the Moon.
