What’s opening Friday, June 6?

I haven’t done these “what’s opening” entries for about a month because they didn’t feel necessary. With relatively minor competition like Made of Honor or The Strangers, the month of May has been pretty much one blockbuster per week: Iron Man, Indy, etc.

June is where it gets a bit more crowded, with about two major offerings per week. This week it’s animated chop-socky vs. Adam Sandler goofiness.

Kung Fu Panda: It’s hard not to be aware of this movie with its ubiquitous ads, but I will say this is one summer film that fully deserves the hype. Find out what I mean when my review posts tomorrow.

You Don’t Mess with the Zohan: I give Adam Sander credit for at least trying to do something off his beaten path by co-writing with Judd Apatow and Robert Smigel. The plot is certainly zany: An Israeli commando fakes his own death in order to pursue his dream of becoming a hairstylist in New York. Early reviews indicate the movie is less inspired than its idea, however.

Next week: The Incredible Hulk and M. Night Shyamalan’s The Happening.

Wine & Dine: More local restaurants are offering wine tasting/dinner pairings [review]

Wine glasses

Some are searching for new customers. Others are looking for a test market for new appetizers or entrees. Others want customer feedback on which new wines to add to the wine list. Whatever their reasons, more restaurants in the Dayton area are using wine tastings and wine dinners to try to get new, fresh faces to cross their doorsteps. A decade ago, diners could easily count on one hand the number of restaurants that held regular wine events. Now, the number exceeds a dozen and is growing. More »
