Is It Really August Already??
Last month I couldn't believe it was July already. And now here it is August! What happened?? And where did July go??
Marlene’s DVD Review : Top Five [VIDEO]
'Top Five' is a movie written by Chris Rock, directed by Chris Rock, & starring (you guessed it!) Chris Rock. So...if you're a fan of Chris Rock, then (obviously) you should see the movie. And I'm pretty sure you're gonna like it a lot.
Rob Thomas Did AC Last Sunday Night [VIDEO]
I was going to write about Rob Thomas' scheduled show at Borgata's Event Center before the show last Sunday, but I decided it might be better to wait until after the show. I figured that since he had postponed several shows in July due to his wife Marisol needing a medical procedure, I was afraid he might postpone his show in AC too. But fortunately the show did go on, and (as usual) Rob put on
Marlene’s Movie Madness : Vacation [VIDEO]
I must admit when I first heard about the new "Vacation" movie, I was a bit skeptical. After all, how could anyone even come close to the original "Vacation" with Chevy Chase?? And while you really can't top that movie, you can sure attempt to relive the silliness and fun, and the new movie certainly does. There are plenty of laugh-out-loud scenes, and that makes for the per
Marlene’s Music History Moment : 7-31-1979 [VIDEO]
On this date back in 1979, James Taylor played a free concert in New York's Central Park to help the city's campaign to restore the park's Sheep Meadow. And tomorrow he plays another concert, this time a sold-out show at Borgata's Event Center. And this one's definitely not free. But I know it will be worth every penny.
Marlene’s Movie Madness : Southpaw [VIDEO]
"Southpaw" is a drama about a boxer. So why would a girl who likes chick flicks go see a boxing movie?? Two words : Jake Gyllenhaal. And I must say he looks good in the ring. And I happen to like boxing. Who knew??
Boz Scaggs Will Do AC This Friday Night [VIDEO]
Do the Lido Shuffle over to Borgata's Music Box tomorrow night for a special evening with Boz Scaggs. His unique music style combines rock, jazz, soul, and blues. It's sure to be a fun Flashback Friday!
Marlene’s DVD Review : Big Eyes [VIDEO]
The movie 'Big Eyes' is based on the true story of Walter Keane (played by Christoph Waltz). His paintings of big-eyed children made him a popular artist back in the '50s. But the real truth was that his wife Margaret (Amy Adams) actually painted every single one of them. Who knew?? Well, at the time, apparently no one!
Marlene’s Music History Moments : 7-27-1981/1983 [VIDEO]
When it comes to the music world, women certainly do rock. And on this very day two years apart, two very different female artists each debuted her first solo album. One is Madonna; the other is Stevie Nicks. It was thirty-four years ago today that Stevie Nicks’ first solo album, "Bella Donna," was released. Then exactly two years later, Madonna's self-titled debut album was released
Marlene’s Movie Madness : Paper Towns [VIDEO]
"Paper Towns" is a coming-of-age movie. In the beginning, Margo (Cara Delevingne) moved in across the street from Quentin (Nat Wolff), and they ended up becoming fast friends. But by the time they got to high school, they barely spoke to each other. Even so, all through high school, Quentin couldn't get Margo off of his mind.
Happy (Belated) B-day to Don Henley! [VIDEO]
Yesterday was Don Henley's b-day. (He just turned 68). And as usual, I'm a day late and a dollar short. Sorry, DH. Hope you enjoyed your special day!
