Caught In The Act

Rock Never Stops Tour

Featuring four 80’s icon hard-rock bands (Tesla, Vince Neil of Motley Crue, Jackyl and Skid Row), fans were given the opportunity to see for the first time together an assortment of artists from a time in history that will never be repeated but still can be enjoyed. Skid Row kicked off the festivities with an aggressive version of 18 and Life, followed by Jackyl who kept the energy level flowing with their own brand of loud, proud, hard and honest rock 'n' roll. Vince Neil gave the fans what they wanted, Crue, Crue and more Crue. Tesla, together for the first time in six years, looked and sounded great belting out such faves as Signs, Love Song and Modern Day Cowboy, also throwing in a new track from their soon to be released studio album.  Catch this tour when it comes near you.

 

At The Movies

Mr. Deeds

When a guy named Deeds (Adam Sandler) from the small town of Mandrake Falls, NH inherits controlling interest in a massive media corporation from his deceased uncle, he starts injecting his small town values into its various sections. A New York tabloid TV reporter, Babe (Wynona Ryder), is sent undercover as a small-town girl to do an expose on him, but of course, she falls in love with along the way. The Adam Sandler wackiness train just keeps chugging along whether he is calling an opera singer Mr. French or egging cars with John McEnroe or simply hugging a total stranger, Mr. Deeds is sure to give you a lot of laughs in this simple, sweet and romantic comedy.

 

On DVD

A Beautiful Mind

An academy award-winning, bio-drama of the life of mathematician John Forbes Nash Jr., a genius diagnosed as a paranoid-schizophrenic at the peak of his career. Director Ron Howard creates whole scenes and story lines that appear to be part of the biography but turn out to be Nash's delusions. It's a nice touch and audiences loved this tale, which is part mystery behind the illness and its progression, part romance, and part sentimental tear-jerker. Russell Crowe plays the lead and validates that this film is really all about Nash, coming together in Crowe's dominating performance. This film is a text-book model of fine-tuned acting, music, cinematography, and directing.
