Film Review: ‘Jason Bourne’!
Hi everyone, Bryan here…
Hey now. Matt Damon is back as Jason Bourne in the new film that is simply titled, ‘Jason Bourne‘, which teams up Damon and director Paul Greengrass once again for the spy thriller who seems to never remember who he is or where he came from. In addition to the usual losing sight of Jason Bourne, then spotting him in a big crowd, to losing him once again, the writers added HBO’s ‘Silicon Valley‘ show to the element without all of the fun or comedy. I’ll get to that in a minute though.
read comments (0)Latest Bourne Villain Has Been Cast – Vincent Cassel!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Matt Damon’s return to the Jason Bourne franchise was an iffy issue if Paul Greengrass wasn’t returning to direct, as well. Luckily, both announced their return last year and the cast has been filling in steadily, since then. Tommy Lee Jones and Alicia Vikander are slated for the flick and new waves are being made today as one of the villains was announced.
‘The Osbournes’ Are Coming Back to VH1!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Think back to 2002 and what we were watching on TV. ‘American Idol‘ had just began it’s monumental first season, Joss Whedon’s space-western ‘Firefly‘ was being aired out of order, ‘The X-Files‘ was ending it’s 9 season run and America got it’s first look at a reality show based on a celebrity’s home-life with ‘The Osbournes‘. That’s right, the metaphorical shot heard round-the-world from the gun that would inevitably be responsible for making the Kardashian family famous for being rich and stupid took first blood with the family of ‘Black Sabbath‘ rocker, Ozzy Osbourne.
New Bourne Film With Matt Damon Ready To Start Filming!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Few films can weave a storyline around so many actors and cities and still be a huge draw at the box office, I’m giving you the news about one of them today. The series I’m talking about are the Jason Bourne films, starring Matt Damon. We started with ‘The Bourne Identity‘ in 2002, then ‘The Bourne Supremacy’ in 2004, followed by ‘The Bourne Ultimatum‘ in 2007. In 2012, Damon stood aside and cheered Jeremy Renner on as he made the character of Aaron Cross, uniquely his own, with ‘The Bourne Legacy‘. Renner brings to life another character from the expansive world that writer Robert Ludlum has created that both characters, and a score of others live in.
Bryan’s Review of ‘The Bourne Legacy’!!!
Hi, Bryan Here…
Let me start off by saying that I love the first three “Bourne” films. I have owned them multiple times and on multiple formats, the latest one being the out-of -print bluray set. Those three previous films were sort of milestones in filmmaking that took us on different continents and developed a new faster paced action film, that was brutal yet beautiful. This new film, ‘The Bourne Legacy’, sadly does not have any of that. I found ‘The Bourne Legacy’ slow-moving, weak, and un-interesting.
Check Out the Trailer for ‘The Bourne Legacy’!!!
Hi Bryan Here…
This trailer looks good. Sorry no Matt Damon, but Jeremy Renner looks like he has taken the Bourne role nicely. “The narrative architect behind the Bourne film series, Tony Gilroy, takes the helm in the next chapter of the hugely popular espionage franchise that has earned almost $1 billion at the global box office: The Bourne Legacy. The writer/director expands the Bourne universe created by Robert Ludlum with an original story that introduces us to a new hero (Jeremy Renner) whose life-or-death stakes have been triggered by the events of the first three films. For The Bourne Legacy, Renner joins fellow series newcomers Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton, Stacy Keach and Oscar Isaac, while franchise veterans Albert Finney, Joan Allen, David Strathairn and Scott Glenn reprise their roles.” Enjoy the trailer.
The Bourne Legacy Has Its Lead Actor!!!!
Hi Bryan Here….
As we previously reported HERE, Matt Damon will not be returning to the Bourne franchise nor will director Paul Greengrass who directed the last two films. Because of this, there will be “The Bourne Legacy” with Tony Gilroy attached to direct. Tony Gilroy has been involved writing the last three Bourne films.
The Next Jason Bourne Film Will NOT Have Jason Bourne nor Matt Damon…
Since we found out Tony Gilroy would be directing and writing The Bourne Legacy, were were wondering if Matt Damon would return as the hero Jason Bourne since he was quoted as saying in interviews that he would only make another Bourne film if Paul Greengrass would return to direct.
Gilroy was interviewed the other day and he said:
“It’s a completely original screenplay….This is not a reboot or a recast or a prequel. No one’s replacing Matt Damon. There will be a whole new hero, a whole new chapter…this is a stand-alone project.”
“The easiest way to think of it is an expansion or a reveal…Jason Bourne will not be in this film, but he’s very much alive. What happened in the first three films is the trigger for what happens. I’m building a legend and an environment and a wider conspiracy…the world we’re making enhances and advances and invites Jason Bourne’s return [down the road].”
So why even make a Bourne film? REALLY? Call it something different. Or are they just going to use the Bourne name to capitalize profit?
Does not make sense to me.
Your thoughts? Has anybody read the book in question?
The 4th Installment of The “Bourne” Franchise Has a New Director
The 4th installment of the “Bourne” franchise will be called “The Bourne Legacy” and will be directed by Tony Gilroy. Gilroy’s previous work has included: Michael Clayton which he directed and he has written the past Bourne films as well.
Matt Damon has stated that he will NOT return to the series without previous director Greengrass, but I think Gilroy has enough clout to lure the actor back. If not, then the Bourne films will suffer in my opinion.
Any casting suggestion for a new Jason Bourne?
‘Class of 1999’ is getting the Collector’s Edition Blu-ray treatment!
I’m so psyched for ‘Class of 1999‘ on Blu-ray from Vestron Video. This sci-fi thriller was part of my video collection when I was younger and I watched it all the time. Basically, this is about a high-school that puts in robotic teachers to keep the peace in school, but it turns into a real ‘Westworld‘ type of situation when the robot teachers start killing students. It’s then up to the kids to fight back. It stars Pam Grier, Stacy Keach, and Malcolm McDowell, which it doesn’t get cooler than that. There are new commentaries and interviews for bonus features. The Blu-ray will be released on January 30th, 2018 in a limited edition and I can’t be more excited about this if I tried to be.
Blu-ray Review: ‘Atomic Blonde’!
THE FILM
This film portion is written by Dan Moran.
Atomic Blonde isn’t a perfect movie. It has an overly complex plot and is about 20 minutes longer than it needs to be, but all of that is overcome by some of the best action sequences in recent memory with an absolutely badass performance by Charlize Theron.
A Retrospective Look Back at the year 2007 in Movies!
Written by: Dan Moran…
It has been a decade since we have had an overwhelmingly great year of movies. There have been some ‘great movies’ for sure, that have been released since 2007, but a collective year of dominance like 2007 hasn’t been experienced in 10 years. We have to start with the films that people still talk about today from 2007. No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood, & Zodiac. I mean what a Top 3 for one calendar year! The closest we got to this was in 2015 when the Top 3 was, Mad Max: Fury Road, Mad Max: Fury Road, & Mad Max: Fury Road.
Film Review: ‘American Assassin’!
Dan M. here…
You can’t make an action movie like this in 2017 and expect anyone to be impressed with it. Not when studios crank out Bourne, Bond, John Wick, Atomic Blonde, The Raid, etc. Those are movies that execute things at such a high level with passable stories that at least allow you to buy into the character. Hell, even Jack Reacher had some self-awareness to it that made the shrug-worthy, ridiculous, sequel mildly enjoyable. American Assassin is an all-around pretty bad movie but it does have a few bright spots. It honestly felt like the writers watched a Bourne movie, then got high, and played 3 hours of Call of Duty on easy difficulty before putting pen to paper.
Arrow Video Issues A 1980’s Classic Box Set!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
The summer really heats up in August, as Arrow Video releases a special edition of an 80s classic, a white-knuckle thriller, a splatter horror masterpiece, a box set of crime classics, a rare Italian sword-and-sandal epic, and an amazing new limited edition steelbook.

Film Review: ‘[Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets]’!!
Hello Everyone, Janet W. here…
Based on Valérian et Laureline, a French comic book spinoff series from another French comic series, Pilote, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets explodes in radiant color and abundance onto theater screens. The crime fighting agents, Valerian (Dane DeHaan) and Laureline (Cara Delevingne), first appeared in Pilote in 1967. The creators of the Valérian et Laureline, Pierre Christin and Jean-Claude Mézières have worked closely with Luc Besson to bring this world to life. Read the rest of this entry »

Blu-ray Review: ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’!
Hi everyone, Bryan here….
THE FILM
Since the release of ‘The Force Awakens‘, Disney will be releasing a ‘Star Wars‘ film every year for the foreseeable future. Well, it’s been a year since ‘The Force Awakens‘, which means it’s time for another ‘Star Wars‘ film, and luckily for us, we get ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story‘. I’m so glad that Disney is allowing up and coming, young filmmakers a chance to have a go at ‘Star Wars‘, because director Gareth Edwards (‘Monsters‘ and ‘Godzilla‘) has knocked it out of the park, even though there were some re-shoots with writer Tony Gilroy (‘Michael Clayton‘ and ‘The Bourne‘ films). This is the ‘Star Wars‘ film we have wanted for a long time, in that we get to see some characters do some truly amazing and badass things that we’ve never seen before, and a return to some of those classic set pieces and ships.

Film Review: ‘Gold’!!
Hello Everyone, Janet W. here…
A prospector… Gold Rush pioneers or Yosemite Sam have nothing on the belief of Kenny Wells (Matthew McConaughey). Kenny comes from a prestigious line of miners. His grandfather founded Washoe Mining Co. and built a sterling reputation until his death. Under Kenny’s leadership, the company suffered a plummet in profits. Repeatedly shunned by many investors, he hunted for new opportunities to pump life back in the Washoe name. All Kenny had in the world was Kay (Bryce Dallas Howard) who gives new meaning to the phrase “stand by your man.” Suddenly, Kenny sees the pathway to his future in a dream. Along with the scientific expertise of Mike Acosta (Edgar Ramírez), Washoe’s blood turns red and hot. Read the rest of this entry »

Film Review: ‘The Accountant’!
Hi everyone, Bryan here….
‘The Accountant‘ is not just about someone who does people’s taxes and saves people money? It’s so much more than that with Gavin O’Connor’s (Miracle, Warrior) film ‘The Accountant‘, starring Ben Affleck or as we all know him now as ‘Batman‘. ‘The Accountant‘ is a mix between Jason Bourne, Rain Man, and John Wick as we follow a man named Christian Wolff (if that’s his real name?) who was diagnosed as a high-functioning autistic kid at a young age. He had an affinity for numbers and solving puzzles, and was super quick to do so. He might have just been a superhero from an early age.
Film Review: ‘The Light Between Oceans’!!
Hello Everyone, Janet W. here…
1918, Thomas Edward Sherbourne (Michael Fassbender) is seeking solace from the violence and trauma brought on by WWI. He heads to Janus Rock, Western Australia, to become a lighthouse keeper. The isolation and seclusion seems like paradise to a mind numbed to the point of death until he meets Isabel Graysmark (Alicia Vikander). Is there such a thing as love at first sight? Tom and Isabel explore love and family in The Light Between Oceans. Read the rest of this entry »
Doug Liman Joins ‘Justice League Dark’ Film!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Doug Liman has bowed out of the ‘X-Men‘ spinoff property ‘Gambit‘. Instead he will direct a DC property, ‘Justice League Dark‘ that will bring together classic characters like John Constantine, Swamp Thing, Deadman, Zatanna and Etrigan the Demon. Scott Rudin has joined the project as producer with Michael Gilio writing the script.
‘Manhunter’ is Getting the Scream Factory Collector’s Edition Treatment!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here….
Scream Factory is releasing ‘Manhunter‘ in Collector’s Edition form on May 24th on Blu-ray with a ton of new extras. Do you remember ‘Manhunter’ from 1986? It had a hell of a cast and featured the character Hannibal Lektor for the first time on screen. Yes, even before he rose to superstardom in ‘Silence of the Lambs‘. This film also had a killer soundtrack as well. Below is the press release and all the info you will need on the release. Can’t wait for May 24th.
Michael Keaton Joins Spy Thriller ‘American Assassin’!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
If there’s one thing the film world needs, it’s more spy movies! How about adapting Vince Flynn’s 14-best-selling novel series, ‘American Assassin‘? OK, so I didn’t think of it first, CBS Films and Lionsgate did because that’s the next film coming down the action pipeline. Not only that, but they’ve just brought in an A-lister that was part of not one, but two films that won the Best Film category for an Oscar for the last two years – Michael Keaton.
We’ve Got Your Pulse Pounding Trailer For ‘Bastille Day’ With Idris Elba!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
‘Bastille Day‘ comes from directors James Watkins (‘The Woman in Black‘) and stage director Jill Gagé with a script from Andrew Baldwin who is also writing the announced and untitled Bourne sequel starring Jeremy Renner. The talent on this film is going to be what makes it stand apart from typical summer action fare.
Check Out The Trailer For Michael Fassbender’s ‘Macbeth’!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Shakespeare never goes out of style and ‘Macbeth‘ is proof of that. Of course, if you serve your Shakespeare with a side of Michael Fassbender (‘X-Men: First Class‘) as the titular Scottish duke, it’s a match made in heaven and has to be, at least part of, the reason the screening received a 10-minute standing ovation after it’s screening at the 68th Cannes Film Festival.
Check Out Ryan Reynolds in the ‘Mississippi Grind’ Trailer!!!
‘Mississippi Grind‘ is one of those loose, lively road movies centering on Ben Mendelsohn as Gerry, a talented but on a good-run-of-bad-luck gambler who changes his fortunes when he meets Curtis (Ryan Reynolds), a younger poker player. The pair become immediate friends and Gerry persuades Curtis to join him on a road trip to a legendary high stakes poker game in New Orleans. Of course, theirs is not a direct line with no stops and they hit just about every bar, racetrack, casino or pool hall they can find experiencing the ultimate highs and lows of gambling, each win or loss cements their friendship creating a genuine bond between the two.
‘The Decline Of Western Civilization’ Coming To Blu-Ray and DVD!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Beginning in 1981, director Penelope Spheeris debuted the first of three documentaries highlighting L.A.’s music scene in the 80’s. She followed that with two more music docs that comprise the entire ‘The Decline of Western Civilization‘ series, and now it’s coming to Blu-ray and DVD in a four-disc anthology for the first time on June 30th.
Matt Damon Shrinking For ‘Downsizing’!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Alexander Payne is a director, screenwriter and producer that has made his name with films like ‘The Descendants‘, ‘Sideways‘, ‘About Schmidt‘ and last year’s Oscar nominee for Best Directing ‘Nebraska‘. As the recipient of two Academy Awards for writing with ‘The Descendants‘ and ‘Sideways‘, Payne has selected his next film.
Dwayne Johnson Announces Robert Ludlum Adaptation!!!
Hi guys, Jana here,
Robert Ludlum is the brain that brought us the Jason Bourne novels that have spawned into an incredibly lucrative film franchise. Even though the writer died in 2001, doesn’t mean that his cannon of work is at rest. Prior to becoming a writer, Ludlum was a U.S. Marine, a theatrical actor and producer. His experience in the theatre is likely what has led his written works to film adaptation so smoothly. He authored some 27 thrillers and although Bourne may be the most well-known of Ludlum’s characters doesn’t mean he was the only one.
Scott Glenn Latest To Join ‘Daredevil’ on Netflix!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
We’ve talked in the past about how Marvel is delving into every facet of entertainment and/or marketing positions they can with their wide-spread character base. I’ve also told you how the next Netflix produced series is going to be Marvel’s first foray with the pay-tv company. Next year, we’ve been told to expect ‘Daredevil‘ to be available for you to put it in queue. We know quite a few of the major players in the drama set in Hell’s Kitchen, but that doesn’t mean we’ve met everyone that’s going to be involved.
Idris Elba Casts A Spell on Warner Bros. With ‘King Arthur’ re-make!!!
Hi guys, Jana here,
If you’re not familiar with the name Idris Elba (‘Pacific Rim‘, ‘Thor‘) by now, you’ve probably just thawed out from the large block of ice you’ve been encased in for the last thousand years. If that’s the case, grab a hair dryer and keep reading.
Film Review: ‘Edge of Tomorrow’!!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
I’m very glad that the science-fiction genre is back and doing very well these days. The more sci-fi in theaters, the better. And we have what seems a pretty good lineup this summer of movies that involve everything you could want in a science-fiction film. Here to start off June 2014 is ‘Edge of Tomorrow‘, formally titled ‘All You Need Is Kill‘, which is based on the 2004 novel by Hiroshi Sakurazaka of the same name. Director Doug Liman (‘Swingers‘, ‘Go‘, ‘The Bourne Identity‘) took a swing at this $178 million dollar budget film and hit a home-run.
Move Over ‘Shark Week’, SyFy Has ‘Sharknado Week’!!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here….
The Discovery Channel’s ‘Shark Week‘ 2014 is coming up soon, and since SyFy changed the entire Shark game last year with the incredible ‘Sharknado‘, they are jumping on the bandwagon with ‘Sharknado Week‘, which will show the first film, and premiere the sequel ‘Sharknado 2: The Second One‘, along with Roger Corman’s new film ‘Sharktopus vs. Pteracuda‘. I of course expect a few other amazing programs to be announced. But we do know that ‘Sharknado 2‘ will debut on July 30th, and the Corman film will air on July 26th. I can only imagine that Discovery is not too happy with this announcement, but hey, ‘Sharknado Week’ sounds pretty awesome!
Nick Frost Signs Up For ‘Sober Companion’ From Fox!!!
Hello, Jana here,
Fox has hit the jackpot when it comes to casting this season. British writer-actor Nick Frost has officially signed on to co-star in ‘Sober Companion‘ with Justin Long. Frost is an extremely bankable commodity that automatically ups the production value of a project. He is normally seen co-starring with best friend and frequent collaborator Simon Pegg. The pair have given us The Cornetto Trilogy comprised of ‘Shaun of the Dead‘, ‘Hot Fuzz‘ and ‘The World’s End‘. They also starred together in ‘Paul‘ which the pair wrote together.
Marcia Clark-Penned Novel Headed to Pilot for TNT!!!
Hello Jana here,
Marcia Clark, the head prosecutor in the infamous O.J. Simpson murder trial, has written a book with Dee Johnson, that TNT is hoping to take to series. ‘Guilt By Association‘ has gained their lead with Julia Stiles (The Bourne franchise). Neve Campbell was in final negotiations to play the female lead but pulled out at the last minute.
Oprah Winfrey Supports MLK Biopic!!!
Jana B. here,
Think of all the biopics we’ve seen to date. Look at who they are about. Joan Crawford, Kennedy, Lincoln, Al Capone, Tina Turner, Ty Cobb, Lane Frost…the list is vast. There are a few personalities that get bio treatments from several people and others that have yet to be immortalized in film. We’re looking at a big screen, no-holds-barred Martin Luther King Jr. feature. Paramount is in final negotiations to acquire domestic distribution rights to ‘Selma‘, a feature drama about Martin Luther King’s 1965 landmark voting rights campaign regarded as the peak of the civil rights movement.
‘Sharknado 2’ Has A Cast Now!!
Hi, Bryan Here…
We already know that there was going to be a ‘Sharknado‘ sequel, and that the execs in charge of the film went to Twitter to come up with a title for the second film. Now we have ‘Sharknado 2: The Second One‘, and moves the location from Los Angeles to New York. But now it has its perfect cast, which is all new. And the choices are just amazing and at the same time, ridiculous.
Fernando’s Review of ‘Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit’!!
Fernando M., Here…
Hey guys! Remember Jason Bourne? Hell no you don’t! At least you won’t give a crap about him after you watch JACK RYAN! The director of “Thor” (Kenneth Branagh) shows us that he can again take really old source material and totally revamp it for today’s audience. Jack Ryan is given about fifteen minutes of really effective origin story, and then a whopping hour and a half of non stop action.
Film Review: ‘Captain Phillips’!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
Tom Hanks is back out on the water again with Paul Greengrass‘ ‘Captain Phillips‘, ste true story that was covered in the media a few years ago, where cargo ship captain Richard Phillips (Hanks) and his crew were attacked by Somali pirates off the coast of Africa during a delivery, and where Phillips was actually taken hostage in a tony life boat for a few days. As there have been several survival movies coming out as of recently, this one in particular can sit high with the rest of them, as Greengrass and Hanks do exceptional work and keep this two-hour long suspenseful film on the edge of your seat. I expect high box office returns for this outing as Hanks and the plot will drive people to theaters this weekend.
Edgar Wright’s ‘The World’s End’ Blu-Ray Announced!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….

Now fans can truly watch The World’s End anywhere, on any device!

Based on a true story, this giant shipped was attacked and boarded by Somali pirates. The film is directed by Paul Greengrass, who directed a couple of the Bourne movies. Catherine Keener, Max Martini, Yul Vazquez, Michael Chernus, Chris Mulkey, Corey Johnson, David Warshofsky, John Magaro and Angus MacInnes also star.
James Cameron’s Next Project After the ‘Avatar’ films will be ‘The Informationist’!!!

Lightstorm Entertainment has acquired motion picture rights to the acclaimed 2011 novel The Informationist by Taylor Stevens, as vehicle for James Cameron to direct for 20th Century Fox Film. The Informationist will be a project for Cameron after he completes work on the second and third “Avatar” films, which are currently in pre-production.
Michael J. Fox is Returning to Television!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
NBC has picked up Michael J. Fox’s new comedy and has given it a 22-episode order. NBC aired ‘Family Ties back in the 80’s, which of course, is where Fox got his start. The series will be a family comedy written by Sam Laybourne of ‘Cougar Town’, and produce by Will Gluck. All of the major networks were wanting this project, but NBC won out.
David Reviews ‘The Bed Sitting Room’ DVD!!!
David, Here….
Firstly, I just want to point out that I enjoy British comedy. It just has such a different feel than most of what we get on this side of the pond. So, when I got my hands on this, I was understandably pretty excited despite not knowing anything about the film. After reading the back of the case and watching the trailer (included on the title screen of the DVD) I was even more excited, it just sounded so absurd! And… it was.
See Who Will Take The Lead in the ‘300’ Prequel, ‘300: The Battle of Artemisia’!!!
Hi Bryan Here….
So we have written about the upcoming ‘300’ prequel a few times on the site and what the whole gist of the story will be about. Seems like progress is being made on the project and Warner Bros. has found their lead. Actor Sullivan Stapleton will play Themistokles in ‘300: The Battle of Artemisia’ which will be directed by Noam Murro.
Bryan Reviews Soderbergh’s ‘Haywire’ and Says It Will Kick Your Ass!!!
Hi Bryan Here…..
I had so much fun with Steven Soderbergh’s ‘Haywire’. It’s packed with thrills, gun fights, drama, great chase sequences, and some of the best fight choreography I have seen in a long time. Much like most of Soderbergh’s films, ‘Haywire’ packs a stellar cast including retired MMA fighter and Dallas native Gina Carano (who is our main character). After watching ‘Haywire’, I quickly wanted more. There needs to be a sequel pronto and I say this with the upmost certainty; ‘Haywire’ is the new ‘Bourne’ and Carano can take on Matt Damon anytime.
BRYAN’S MUST OWN BLURAY/DVD’S FOR THE 4TH WEEK OF SEPTEMBER!!!

Bluray/DVD Picks For The 3rd Week Of February!!!!
Hi Bryan Here…
Some pretty great classic titles this week, but a fairly weak new release week. But I love the heavy classic title weeks. It gives me a chance to watch some excellent filmmaking and remember all the films I saw when I was younger. And the best is, that most of them have the HI-DEF treatment, so it is like watching the movie for the first time. Some great titles. Classic Titles.

This is going to be a new weekly post where I will let you know some of the ultra cool events and affairs that are happening around the Metroplex. Movie screenings, concerts, comedy acts, drink specials, and much much more will be added. So look to this every weekend for something awesome to do and act accordingly. We start this weekend off with a LONG weekend.
On Saturday September 4th the ultimate AC/DC tribute band, “Back In Black” will be performing live at the House of Blues with opening act “Blizzard of Ozz: A Tribute to Ozzy Osbourne”. This show promises to rock your collective socks off. These guys are AWESOME. Rock OUT! See what Back in Black is all about HERE. And buy tickets to the event HERE.
The midnight show this week at the Inwood Theatre in Dallas is The Last of the Mohicans. Times are Friday and Saturday night at midnight. Not your typical late night movie, but a great movie non the less. Plus the Inwood has an excellent full service bar you can bring your cocktails into the movie and sit on counches and bean bags and love seats. Check it out HERE.
If you are into wine and grilling then go to Veritas Wine Room on Sunday starting at 7:00pm and it will go till whenever. Fernando will be turning into a crazy ninja chef and will be grilling just about everything and he promises it will be SPICY. Veritas asks you that you RSVP to them and let them know how many are coming out so they know how much food to buy. Contact them HERE.
For something a little different, head on over to the Lakewood Theatre on Friday at about 8:00pm and catch all that is AWESOME with Viva Dallas Burlesque. These amazing performers are guaranteed to thrill you, chill you, and fulfill you. I had the pleasure of seeing this show last month and it was amazing. There was a Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas routine and an Angel vs. Devil routine. You will hear some great music and see some excellent dance. Head HERE to find out about it.
