‘Scott Pilgrim vs. The World’
The Things We Do For Love
Playing at Area Theaters Palm Springs, California Review by David Mikelberg Take equal parts one-liners, sight gags, a Tex Avery cartoon, an episode of the 1960s “Batman” TV series, great performances, pop culture references, cameo appearances, video games, quick camera cuts, a great writer/director, utter silliness, pure heart and honest emotion. Stir, put on film, and you get “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World,” a lightning bolt of summer movie entertainment.

‘Peter Pan’
Peter Pan and Friends Soar Above London in 360 Degree Show
Wednesday, August 4, 2010 Ferry Park Theatre San Francisco, California Review by Palm Springs Guides Theatre & Cinema Critic/Reviewer Jack Lyons I doubt that when J. M.

Just Walking the Dog Or, Can Fido Get You Sued?
By Thomas A. Grossman Esq., Professional Law Corporation and Palm Springs Guides Legal Guide How Dogs Get You Sued We love our pets. I am a cat person, but I love dogs as well.

‘Winnebago Man’
After The Rant, There’s A Lot To Rave About.
Directed by Ben Steinbauer Camelot Theatre Palm Springs, California Review by David Mikelberg The Constant Reader of this column may remember that I refer to my DVD reviews as “Video Vault Flashbacks.” The funny, lively and ultimately touching documentary, “Winnebago Man” begins with such a flashback, the sight of a VHS tape being put into a VCR.

The Local Takes a Vacation
Sometimes, Even the Local Leaves Town
Estes Park, Colo. By Denise Ortuno Neil There is no doubt that I absolutely love the Coachella Valley. It has been my home for more than 30 years, and I think the world of this place. However, even the “Palm Springs Local” needs to get out of town once in awhile, if only to appreciate the desert even more. And there’s no better time to vacate the area then in the toasty summer months. My summer break consisted of 5½ days (the other half wen ... Read More >> |

It was almost unimaginable, Frankie Avalon, Fabian and Bobby Rydell all performing on one stage at Morongo Casino Resort. They opened the act in unison with Bobby Rydell, Fabian and Frankie Avalon all singing the theme song from American Bandstand. The fact is they all grew up just a few blocks away from each other ...
