Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga Do AC Together This Friday Night [VIDEO]
Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga seem like an unlikely pairing. She's 29 and he's almost 89. But when it comes to music, it appears to be a match made in heaven. There's a chemistry between the two, and this Friday night the pair will show fans at their sold-out show at Borgata Event Center just why they're such a good fit together.
Marlene’s DVD Review : The Best of Me [VIDEO]
"The Best of Me" combines drama & romance, which is pretty much my kinda movie. What can I say? I'm a sucker for a chick flick! It's about a couple who falls in love in high school, but circumstances ultimately tear them apart. They find themselves crossing paths again twenty years later (actually twenty-one, to be exact). And although their lives have gone separate ways, they f
Marlene’s Music History Moment : 7-18-1988 [VIDEO]
Tomorrow marks the 27th anniversary of the release of 'Kokomo' by the Beach Boys. It was released to coincide with the release of the movie "Cocktail" featuring Tom Cruise, and its subsequent soundtrack. And if you're still looking for a place called Kokomo off the Florida Keys, good luck with that. It's not a real place, but it sure does look like it would be fun to visit!
Marlene’s Movie Madness : Trainwreck [VIDEO]
"Trainwreck" is a comedy directed by Judd Apatow and written by Amy Schumer. Amy Schumer also stars in the movie. I've been a big fan of Amy Schumer for a long time, so I figured I was probably gonna love this movie, and I was right! If you're an Amy Schumer fan, I'm pretty sure you're gonna love it too.

Marlene’s Movie Madness : Amy [VIDEO]
"Amy" looks at the life of the late British singer/songwriter Amy Winehouse through archives as well as personal accounts from her closest friends/family. The footage is often candid and the performances are raw and emotional. "Amy" explores a side of Winehouse that the public never got to see.
Marlene’s Music History Moment : 7-13-1985
Can you believe that today marks the 30th anniversary of Live Aid?? And it still remains one of the biggest days in music history when it comes to concert events. It was held simultaneously at Wembley Stadium in London (attended by 72,000 people) and JFK Stadium in Philly (attended by about 100,000 people). And I was among those 100,000 folks. And what a day it was!
Billy Walton Will Do AC at New Venue Tonight

And tonight at 8, Billy Walton's Acoustic Trio will be bringing their unique style of American Rock 'n' Blues to T-Street, the brand new concert venue at the Playground of Atlantic City, One Atlantic Ocean.
Marlene’s DVD Review : This Is Where I Leave You [VIDEO]
'This Is Where I Leave You' is a movie about a dysfunctional family. Like many of us, I can certainly relate to that. The cast includes Jason Bateman as one of the sons, Tina Fey as the daughter, and Jane Fonda as the mother. When I saw the list of cast members (especially Tina Fey), I pretty much knew I was gonna like it.

Marlene’s Movie Madness : RiffTrax Live: Sharknado 2: The Second One [VIDEO]
It's hard to believe that as much as I love Shark Week, I have never even seen "Sharknado 2" (or the first "Sharknado", for that matter). So, you can imagine how thrilled I was when I heard that 'Sharknado 2 : The Second One" is showing tomorrow at 8pm at Regal Cinemas Hamilton Commons 14 in Mays Landing. Yay!!
