With the summer only half over, there are many more hot days to come. Maybe your children are complaining, “It’s too hot!” They want to cool off. Of course, you can have a pool constructed in the backyard, or you can do what many other parents do- take your children to

‘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.

 Uncontrollable urge to write?
Irresistible compulsion to photograph?
Do you have an uncontrollable urge to commit words to paper (or at least word processor)? Are you one of those people who always carries a camera just looking for that next shot?

‘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. Barrie wrote “Peter Pan,” his most famous work, that even he could imagine how his story of a young boy who chooses never to grow up would become so very popular in the imagination-filled world of children’s stories.

 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. I also like birds, turtles, snakes, ground squirrels, preying mantis, red-tailed hawks, bees, beetles and bats. In other words, I like all animals. However, most of us have either a dog or a cat (or maybe a bird) as a pet. Generally the only animal that can get you sue...

‘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. Does anybody remember those?

The Local Takes a Vacation
 Sometimes, Even the Local Leaves TownEstes 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 ...

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 ...
