For the Edge Feld Entertainment, Inc., producers of Disney On Ice and Disney Live!, is bringing top performing cable TV series for preschoolers to the stage in Disney Junior Live On Tour! Pirate & Princess Adventure Presented by Stonyfield YoKids Organic Yogurt. Featuring characters from the smash hits Sofia the First and Jake and the Never Land Pirates, the 2014-2015 tour of this production launches a 100-city national tour in July 2014.

“The Feld Entertainment mission of

providing quality live entertainment experiences that the entire family enjoys starts with Disney Live! because it is often a young fan’s first theatrical experience,” said producer Alana Feld. “Children everywhere have fallen in love with Sofia and Jake, and we are thrilled to bring these popular Disney Junior characters back to the stage."

In this original storyline, Mickey and Minnie lead the audience on an exciting adventure that will have families rooting for their favorite pirate, Jake, and Disney's first little girl princess, Sofia. Disney Junior Live On Tour! Pirate & Princess Adventure begins with a special interactive pre-show featuring the loveable six-year-old doctor to toys and stuffed animals, Doc McStuffins. Children and their parents will sing the “I Feel Better” song, along with Doc as she provides tender love and care.

Audiences will then embark on a journey to the magical world of Enchancia, where Sofia, her step-siblings Amber and James, and the entire kingdom are preparing for the annual friendship festival. Sofia has the honor of delivering the perfect gift to her royal subjects at the celebration, and the one-and-only Cinderella visits the castle to help Sofia in her mission to find the right present.

The excitement continues when families cast away to Never Land where Jake and his Yo Ho pirate friends, Izzy and Cubby, are in a race against time to locate a mysterious treasure-filled volcano. Danger, thrills and adventure lurk around every turn when our swashbuckling friends battle Captain Hook for the ultimate prize. Peter Pan makes a special appearance, aiding the team in their heroic quest, and with the help of Tinker Bell’s pixie

OMNIMAX film captures unseen world

A new giant screen film adventure takes audiences on an extraordinary journey into unseen worlds and hidden dimensions beyond our normal vision to uncover the mysteries of things too fast, too slow, too small or simply invisible. On October 10, 2014, the Saint Louis Science Center ’s OMNIMAX® Theater will premiere Mysteries of the U n s e e n Wo r l d , a n o r i g i n a l production by National Geographic Entertainment and Days End Pictures, narrated by Forest Whitaker.

Created by an awardwinning veteran film team, the new 40-minute large format experience is produced by Jini Durr (“Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure”) and Lisa Truitt (“Mysteries of Egypt”) and directed by Louis Schwartzberg (“Disney Nature: Wings of Life”).

Mysteries of the Unseen World uses innovative high-speed and

opposite of time-lapse, revealing secrets from the super-fast world of nature. The film shows slow motion sequences of events that happen too quickly for human perception: a rattlesnake strike; drug cymbals reverberating; a Eurasian Eagle Owl, the world’s largest, flexing its wings; a basilisk or Jesus lizard running on the surface of water; popcorn popping; lightning rising upwards from the ground as well as striking from the sky.

TOO SMALL: The film also peers into the world of wonders too small for the human eye to see—from the minute structures on a butterfly’s w i n g a n d t h e t i n y o rg a n i s m s that inhabit the human body all the way down to nano-scale structures.

See how electron microscopes create images that magnify things by as much as a million times—revealing a world that is both bizarre and beautiful. Guess which unusual image is a fruit fly’s eye, the skin of a shark, a flea on a cat, a tomato stem, an eggshell, and more!

Mysteries of the Unseen World t h e n move s f rom t h e f a mi l i a r events of everyday life to the building blocks of matter itself.

The filmmakers worked with a 3-D medical animation company to depict the atom-scale realm of nano- science and pot ent ial

innovations in nanotechnology.

In a complex zoom sequence, the shot moves in on a spider, then a strand of its silk, then into the silk itself where audiences see a bacterium. The camera then zooms even deeper, in on a virus on the bacterium, then into the DNA of the virus and finally into the actual atoms of the DNA. “Mysteries of the Unseen World immerses audiences in mind-bending dimensions that enhance our understanding of the planet and inspire people with the wonder and possibilities o f s c i e n c e , ” s a i d L i s a Tru i t t , president of National Geographic Entertainment.

“The premise of this new giant screen film experience is looking at the world through a variety of imaging technologies that allow audiences to see beyond what they can with the naked eye and gain a new vision of the world around them,” said producer Jini Durr.

Mysteries of the Unseen World is funded in part by a grant from the National Science Foundation and generous support from Lockheed Martin and FEI, a manufacturer of electron microscopes.

Tickets are on sale at the Saint L o u i s S c i e n c e C e n t e r. P l e a s e visit slsc.org or call 314.289.4424 for advanced sales and group reservations.

Carrington to appear at Peabody

Rodney Carrington will appear at the Peabody Opera House in St. Louis at 7 p.m. on March 27.

Ti c k e t s a r e a v a i l a b l e a t ticketmaster.com, at 1-800-7453000 or the Peabody Opera House Box Office.

Rodney Carrington has been making audiences laugh for almost twenty years with his unique brand of stand-up comedy.

The country singer-songwriter has recorded eight major label comedy albums which have sold more than two million copies … two of which have been certified Gold.

Rodney Carrington recently s t a r t e d h i s o w n re c o rd l a b e l “Laughter ’s Good” and is releasing two albums under the new label in October 2014.

Rodney plans to re-release “C’Mon Laugh You Bastards” which will feature 3 new songs, as well as an album of all new material called “Laughter ’s Good.”

In addition to starting his own record label, Rodney is starting a new YouTube series in October 2014 called “Bit By Bit.” In the series, he will be releasing new material one piece at a time on a weekly basis.

On November 1, 2014 Sirius XM is doing a “Rodney Carrington Ta k e o v e r S p e c i a l ” o n t h e i r Blue Collar Comedy Channel.

Carrington can also be heard every Sunday on ESPN2 on the

time-lapse photography, electron microscopy, and nanotechnology, to transport audiences to an enthralling secret world of nature, events and breathtaking phenomena not visible to the naked eye.

“Mysteries of the Unseen World has that ‘wow’ factor that will impress adults and children,” said Jackie Mollet, Managing Director Visitor Services at the S a i n t L o u i s S c i e n c e C e n t e r.

“Seeing these amazing images will give you a new appreciation for the world around us. The technological advances used to capture these images are aweinspiring as well. ” INVISIBLE: We see only a fraction of the millions of wavelengths in the vast electromagnetic spectrum— the rainbow of light waves called visible light. The film shows audiences what it would be life if we had X-ray vision, or infrared vision like a mosquito, how a bee’s eyes see through ultraviolet light, what Gamma rays, microwaves and radio waves show us, and more.

TOO SLOW: Ti m e - l a p s e i m a g e s c a p t u r e mundane events that happen too slowly for humans to perceive.

The film shows plants creeping toward the sun and astonishingly complex “slime mold” searching for food. On a grander scaled, time-lapse allows audiences to see our planet in motion—from the vast and relentless sweep of nature to the restless movement of humanity.

Eagle watching season begins

All eyes are on the sky as the Alton region prepares for the annual winter migration of the American Bald Eagle. Every January, experts anticipate as many as 1,000 bald eagles will migrate to the area reclaiming their winter nests along the Meeting of the Great Rivers National Scenic Byway.

To celebrate the return of this majestic bird, The Alton Regional Convention and Visitors Center along with the Audubon Center at Riverlands will host the AltonAudubon Eagle Festival, Saturday, Jan. 3 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Free family-friendly activities, eagle

watching shuttle tours and a live American Bald Eagle will be on hand at the Alton Visitors Center, 200 Piasa St. The Audubon Center at the Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary, 301 Riverlands Way, West Alton will feature live regional birds of prey and offer additional activities suitable for the entire family.

Start your day of eagle activities in downtown Alton by watching ice carvers create an eagle from a frozen block of ice. Then take part in the always popular ice cube giveaway where every participant is a winner when they choose an ice cube which will feature a special offer from a regional business.

These prizes can include discounts on merchandise or food or free gifts. Liberty Bank will also take part in the kick-off event by sponsoring the Ice Putt Putt contest for visitors. The bank’s mascot, Sam the Eagle, will also be hand to greet visitors to downtown Alton. And, of course, there will be the live eagle meet and greet featuring an eagle from the World Bird Sanctuary at the Alton Visitors Center. All of these activities are free. Additionally, the CVB will offer Eagle Watching Shuttle Tours which

will provide visitors with a guided first-hand look at several eagle watching hot spots in the region.

The cost for these 45-minute tours is $5 per person. Tours begin at 10:30 a.m. and the last Eagle Watching Shuttle Tour will depart from the Alton Visitors Center at 1:30 p.m.

At the Audubon Center, located across the Mississippi River, visitors can enjoy the view of the mighty river and its abundant wildlife from the comfort of the state-of-the-art Visitors Center.

Admission $25 Greater Alton Concert Association - Al Simmons Sunday, February 15, 2015 Starts at 3:00pm Lewis & Clark Community College

5800 Godfrey Road Godfrey, IL 62035 Al Simmons’ one-man, multiprop, music-filled, off the wall performances have elevated audiences world-wide to collective giggles and all-out guffaws. At once childlike in its simplicity and sophisticated in its execution, Al’s humour touches a responsive chord in people of every age.

Vaudeville’s half-century run of popularity may have died back in the 1940's, but don’t try to tell that to Al Simmons or the crowds of fans that have packed theatres across North America to see him. Into the tradition of the great comedy kings-Danny Kaye, Spike Jones and Jimmy Durante--comes Al Simmons, ­ a man dedicated to the all but lost art of combining comedy with song, dance, magic, and sight-gags. The end result is plenty of good-natured fun in a one-man variety show. For more information, call (618) 4684222.

Catfish Willie, above, has performed at previous Mardi Gras Pub Crawls. Below is the artwork for this year's event.

Mardi Gras Pub Crawl planned For The Edge " F a t Tu e s d a y " f u n h a p p e n s at Central Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks on Saturday, Feb. 21, with the 14th annual Mardi Gras Pub Crawl. The event features live entertainment at 22 restaurants and nightspots in the Lake area.

The Mardi Gras Pub Crawl has grown from just eight locations in its first year to become the biggest off-season event at the Lake, attracting more than 6,800 participants last year. Jeff Carroll, Pub Crawl organizer, attributes the Crawl's success to the number of venues, the quality of the food and entertainment, and the availability of safe transportation.

A $ 1 0 w r i s t b a n d p ro v i d e s admission to all Pub Crawl locations, as well as shuttle bus transportation from participating hotels, motels and resorts to all of the venues. The economical price and the convenience of the shuttle service are two of the reasons the event continues to grow each year.

A total of 32 buses will cover the entire shuttle route, stopping at each venue, as well as returning participants to their Pub Crawl lodging locations from any stop along the route. Bus service will begin at 4 p.m. and end at 2:30 a.m. "Your Pub Crawl wristband allows you to put your keys away and enjoy the fun without worrying about driving," Carroll said.

Many "pub crawlers" dress in costumes, often featuring the traditional Mardi Gras colors of purple, gold and green. Pub Crawl T-shirts will be available at all venues, both on the night of the crawl and for purchase before the crawl, beginning approximately mid-January.

Most of the Pub Crawl restaurants and nightspots will

feature live bands playing music from rock to blues to country. At others, participants can dance to music spun by DJs or even make their own music at locations featuring karaoke. When it comes to food, pub crawlers will have their choice of an eclectic mix of

Mexican cuisine, Italian favorites, prime rib, seafood, Ozarks-style barbeque, Chicago-style pizza and much more.

Music Tuning in Fleetwood Mac to appear in St. Louis

Rock legends Fleetwood Mac, who performed two sold-out shows at NYC’s Madison Square Garden earlier this week, have confirmed they will be adding at least 28 more dates to their already scheduled 40-city ON WITH THE SHOW tour. The announcement was made during the band’s live performance this morning on NBC’s TODAY Show where The Mac performed for thousands of adoring fans. The second leg of the tour will begin on Jan. 16, 2015 in St. Paul, Minn.

Fleetwood Mac will appear at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis on Friday, March 27.

Tickets available at LiveNation. c o m , t h e F o rd B o x O ff i c e a t Scottrade Center, Ticketmaster Retail Outlets, or charge by phone at 1-800-745-3000 Fleetwood Mac is currently performing with their five star lineup including the returning songbird Christine McVie who rejoined the band following a 16 year absence.

RECENT REVIEWS FOR FLEETWOOD MAC’S ON WITH THE SHOW TOUR “The principal emotion during the nearly 2 1/2-hour performance was the joy of having keyboardist McVie back in this group... She brought high harmonies and several songs, including 'Little Lies,' 'You Make Loving Fun' and the closing 'Songbird,' back into the repertoire.

Nicks hasn’t sounded this good since the early ‘90’s. What a rhythm machine and what an articulate emotional guitarist Buckingham is.”

- Minneapolis Star Tribune "Fleetwood Mac has the intricacy, elegance and underlying punch of its songs..." - The New York Times.

“With Christine’s songs back in the set, her calm, angular presence back on the stage, there was an undeniable feeling of rejuvenation... Fleetwood and John McVie on bass reminded concert-goers why the band is named for them... They still put a layer of muscle behind everything the band did... Buckingham was ferocious and tireless as lead guitar. This man is a vital musical presence – the soul of the band.

Ditto for the vitality of Nicks, its cauldron-stirring spirit... Her showcase songs, 'Landslide,' 'Gold Dust Woman' and, especially 'Silver Springs,' were the night’s highlights.” - Chicago Tribune

Those of you who remember and enjoyed vaudeville will have something to tell your family about. Al’s inspirations were great comedy kings such as Danny Kaye, Spike Jones and Jimmy Durante.

With a career that has spanned more than 25 years, Leo Kottke h a s c o m p o s e d s c o re s f o r f i l m soundtracks, children’s shows, and a symphony. He has also released over 20 LPs, some of which (like Great Big Boy) included his craggy baritone, reminiscent of folk singer Tom Waits or radio personality and writer Garrison Keillor.

Born in Athens, Georgia, and raised in 12 different states, Leo Kottke absorbed a variety of musical influences as a child, playing both violin a n d t ro m b o n e , b e f o re f i n d i n g the guitar at age 11. When his career blossomed with the folk revival of the 1960s and 1970s, Kottke earned the early title of “virtuoso,� with Rolling Stone describing him as “so good t h a t h e d i d n ’ t n e e d a b a n d . � Kottke’s 1971 major-label debut with Capitol Records positioned him in the singer/ songwriter vein, despite his own wish to remain an instrumental p e r f o r m e r.  R e c o r d s s u c h a s 1972’s Greenhouse and 1973’s live My Feet Are Smiling and Ice Water found him branching out with guest musicians and h o n i n g h i s g u i t a r t e c h n i q u e . F o l k g r e a t P e t e S e e g e r, w h o (along with John Fahey) was one of Kottke’s first influences, called the young guitar player “the best twelve-string guitarist [he has] ever heard.� More recently, Kottke’s collaborations with Phish bassist Mike Gordon, and Prince’s producer David Z., have introduced him to a new, younger audience.

Sheldon to host Hurray for the Riff Raff

Hurray For The Riff Raff is Alynda Lee Segarra, a young woman quickly leaving an indelible stamp on the American folk tradition. Segarra came to international attention in 2012 with her debut album, Look Out Mama, which earned her raves from NPR, The New York Times, Mojo and Paste. Her breakout performance at the 2013 Newport Folk Festival left American Songwriter "awestruck" and solidified her place at the forefront of a new generation of young musicians celebrating and reimagining American roots music.

The show is scheduled for 8 p.m. on May 3 in the Sheldon Concert Hall.

Single are $25 orchestra/$20 balcony. Call MetroTix at 314-5341111 or visit TheSheldon.org. For more information, call The Sheldon during normal business hours, Monday - Friday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Segarra, a 26-year-old of Puerto Rican descent, grew up in the Bronx, where she developed an early appreciation for doowop and Motown music from t h e n e i g h b o rh o o d ' s l o n g t i m e re s i d e n t s . I t w a s d o w n t o w n , though, that she first felt like she found her people, traveling to the Lower East side every Saturday for punk matinees at ABC No Rio.  She struck out on her own at 17, first hitching her way to the west coast, then roaming the south before ultimately settling in New Orleans. There, she fell in with a band of fellow travelers, playing washboard and singing before eventually learning to play a banjo she'd been given in North Carolina.

Religion People planner Dexter King: Ownership of Bible, peace prize is only issue

ATLANTA (AP) — One of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s sons has declined to say whether his father's 1964 Nobel Peace Prize and traveling Bible would be sold if an Atlanta judge rules they belong to the civil rights icon's estate.

Dexter Scott King spoke to reporters after a hearing in a legal dispute that has pitted King's two sons against his daughter.

King's estate includes Martin Luther King III and Bernice King. The two brothers voted last year to ask a judge to order their sister to surrender the Bible and Nobel Peace Prize so it can be sold to a private buyer.

Bernice said in February that her brothers' plan to sell two of their father's most cherished items was unthinkable.

Dexter said Tuesday that the goal of the lawsuit is to transfer the items to the estate's possession, and that their fate would be decided later.

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — A hard-line cleric in northwest Pakistan has led a memorial service for the two brothers who attacked the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo in Paris, praising their assault.

Pir Mohammad Chishti, who runs a religious seminary in the city of Peshawar led the prayers Tuesday. About 40 people attended, with some carrying banners condemning the magazine. They chanted praise for Said Kouachi and Cherif Kouachi (sheh-REEF' koo-AH'-shee), who massacred 12 people in the newspaper attack last week and were later killed by police.

Charlie Hebdo often lampooned religions, including Islam by drawing cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. Such depictions are considered blasphemous by many Muslims.

Chishti told reporters at the prayer ceremony that anyone who commits blasphemy should be killed.

QuickGlance Movie Reviews

"Mr. Turner"

Survey countless films about artistic geniuses and you will not encounter one quite like Mike Leigh's J.M.W. Turner, as played by Timothy Spall.

Grunting is practically his choice mode of expression. He spits on his canvases and grubbily wields his brushes — and he's not much more elegant in his female relationships or when trying to carry a tune. He squints like a mole to such a degree that you feel at any moment he could twitch his nose and burrow a hole into the ground.

He's not a man from whom sublimity would seem to emanate, and yet it does. Joseph Mallor William Turner (1775-1851) churned out some of the most powerfully visceral paintings of light and tumult, of stormy seascapes and Victorian smokestacks. But between Turner the man and Turner the artist, the distance is as vast as the ocean.

And that is much of the point of the spectacular "Mr. Turner." Its mission isn't to place Turner on a pretentious pedestal of genius, where so many of our depictions of brilliant talents reside, but to treat him as a craftsman, a laborer going about, as Leigh has said, "a job of work."

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "some sexual content."

RUNNING TIME: 144 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three and a half stars out of four.

"Leviathan"

Desperation runs through the frozen ground and swelling seas in "Leviathan," director Andrey Zvyagintsev's devastatingly beautiful and grand tale of man's ever deepening helplessness against a corrupt state and an indifferent God. The unlucky casualty of both Thomas Hobbes and Job (as in the "Book of") is Kolya (Alexey Serebryakov), a craftsman and mechanic whose family has inhabited this particular fishing town in North Russia for three generations. He lives in a gorgeous, wooden, sea-battered house, along with his beautiful young wife, Lilya (Elena Lyadova), and his unruly adolescent son, Roma (Sergey Pokhodaev), from a previous marriage.

We learn early on that the town's mayor, Vadim Shelevyat (Roman Madyanov), a brutish, puffy thug, is aiming to take away Kolya's business, house and land. He has his eyes on a commercial communications center of some sort, and Kolya's idyllic two-thirds of an acre on a slip of land overlooking the Barents Sea is just the spot for his greedy ambitions.

Kolya, a hot-tempered, passionate sort, calls in his cool, suave friend Dmitriy (Vladimir Vdovichenkov), a buttoned up Moscow lawyer, for help in court. Despite a front of masculine aloofness, Kolya wears every worry on his face and in ever jug of vodka he consumes. His entire being is wrapped up in the house, a physical representation of his heritage and a symbol of his personhood, and it's all in jeopardy.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "language and some sexuality/graphic nudity."

RUNNING TIME: 141 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Four stars out of four.

"American Sniper"

A mere six months after releasing the Four Seasons drama "Jersey Boys," Clint Eastwood has again lapped his younger directing colleagues with his second film of 2014 and his best movie in years. "American Sniper" is quintessentially Eastwood: a tautly made, confidently constructed examination of the themes that have long dominated his work.

"American Sniper," based on Navy SEAL marksman Chris Kyle's best-selling memoir, is both a tribute to the warrior and a lament for war. Shirking politics, the film instead sets

On the Edge of the Weekend

its sights squarely on its elite protagonist (Bradley Cooper), a traditional American war hero in an untraditional war.

Here is an archetypal American: a chew-spitting, beerdrinking Texas cowboy who enlists after the 1998 bombings of American embassies with resolute righteousness and noble patriotic duty. The once wayward Kyle finds his true calling in the Navy, and he heads to Iraq with a moral certainty that no amount of time served or kills will shake. He's there to kill bad guys — "savages" he calls them at one point.

And kill he does. With 160 confirmed kills, Kyle is believed to be the most lethal sniper in U.S. history. The film starts with a remarkable scene of Kyle poised on an Iraq rooftop with a young boy holding a grenade in his scope. Eastwood and screenwriter Jason Hall flashback to Kyle's upbringing, where his father taught him about "the gift of aggression" and the honor of defending others.

It's the first of many cuts between far-away battle and the personal life Kyle leaves behind. Shortly before shipping out, he weds Taya, played by Sienna Miller, who gives a refreshingly lively take on a usually one-dimensional character. She's more cynical than her husband, who returns to their growing family between tours, his head increasingly stuck in Iraq.

RATED: PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "strong and disturbing war violence, and language throughout including some sexual references."

RUNNING TIME: 124 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

"Predestination"

Time travel. There's hardly a more alluring fantasy in our pop culture, from the simplest depictions — children's cartoons, comic strips, romantic comedy films —to the "Interstellar" kind that you need a physics degree to understand.

Count "Predestination" as among the more complex explorations of the concept: a strange, yet also strangely alluring, adaptation of a definitively weird short story, "All You Zombies" by Robert Heinlein, about a time-tripping crimefighter (Ethan Hawke, in his appealing Everyman persona).

Directed by the Spierig brothers (Michael and Peter), the film may not require a physics degree. But it does require a decent night's sleep and most of your brain cells. This is not a movie to watch after several glasses of wine.

Speaking of wine, Hawke plays a man known only as The Barkeep. And yes, he tends bar occasionally, but his real job title is Temporal Agent, which is just as cool as it sounds.

We meet him in 1970s Manhattan, where he's preparing for his final mission — taking down a terrorist called the Fizzle Bomber, who, if not stopped, will destroy much of the city.

Dismantling one of the man's bombs, he loses much of his face.

But he recovers to look like, well, Ethan Hawke.

One evening, a guy walks into a bar. Or, sort of a guy. His name is Unmarried Mother, and the reason for that name will slowly be revealed as he tells his story in flashbacks — a highlight of the film. Turns out Unmarried Mother — played by the terrific Australian actress Sarah Snook, in a wonderfully nuanced, gender-bending performance — began his unusual life as a female baby named Jane, abandoned on the steps of a Cleveland orphanage in 1945. After a youth in which she displays a tomboy streak and fighting skills, she winds up being recruited in the '60s to Space Corp, a strange force of women tasked with having sex with astronauts in space, to relieve their tension. But before she can blast off, she winds up impregnated by a mysterious young man who then deserts her.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America "for violence, some sexuality, nudity and language."

RUNNING TIME: 97 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two and a half stars out of four.

"Blackhat"

Michael Mann's "Blackhat" begins with the camera slowly descending from above Earth, diving down into a nuclear facility, and submerging into the underlying, twisting maze of electronic circuitry. A single, glowing blip — a bit of malicious code, we soon learn — invades and proliferates.

The malware's fanning spread through the network recalls the stealthy swoop of the black-clad gangsters of Mann's last movie, the John Dillinger thriller "Public Enemies," as they sinuously flowed across the marble floor of a Midwestern bank. In "Blackhat," Mann has returned to modern day for an especially timely tale of cyberterrorism, but his grim fascination with the poetry and choreography of violence is the same, even if it comes by pixels rather than pistols.

"Blackhat" (in which there's plenty of gunplay, too) viscerally dramatizes digital life, or at least a muscular techno-thriller version of it. For moviegoers who have wanted to ESC out of previous cyber-thrillers like "The Net," Mann's lethally steely film hums with urgency.

When the poisonous code prompts the meltdown of a Hong Kong reactor (and a simultaneous strike on the commodities market), desperate investigators spring the hacker Nicholas Hathaway (Chris Hemsworth) from prison to aid the pursuit. ("Blackhat" is a term for a criminal hacker, whereas a "whitehat" does it beneficially for security.) Though outfitted with an ankle monitor, Hathaway quickly takes command of an unlikely U.S.-China joint task force led by Hathaway's former MIT roommate Chen Dawai (Leehom Wang) for China.

Carol Barrett (Viola Davis) and Henry Pollack (John Ortiz) are on the U.S. side.

RATED: R for "violence and some language."

RUNNING TIME: 133 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Three stars out of four.

"The Humbling"

Al Pacino delivers his best performance in years in "The Humbling," a tragicomic look at a veteran stage and film actor on the edge of a nervous breakdown.

That description might seem like an unwelcome invitation for another ham-fisted late-era Pacino bit, but, from the opening shot, it's clear that the infamously over the top actor is trying something different: subtlety.

It's just a shame "Birdman" had to come out first. There's probably only so much audience thirst for stories about hallucination prone, past-their-prime actors, but Pacino fans (and skeptics) would be remiss to skip this one, even if "Birdman" is the superior film.

Adapted from Philip Roth's 2009 novel, "The Humbling," directed by Barry Levinson ("Rain Man"), introduces audiences to Axler as he limply applies makeup and recites Shakespeare to himself in the mirror. Not only is Axler worried he's lost his talent, after 50 years of acting, he's also become increasingly unable to distinguish reality from his imagination, a recurring theme that is used to disorient the audience throughout.

After a brief delusion, where he thinks he gets locked out of the theater and indifferent security guards refuse to let him in, Axler takes the stage, mumbles a few lines, and promptly swan dives into the orchestra. The stunt gets him thrown into a recovery center where he is forced to confront the state of his life and mental health for the first time.

RATED: R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "sexual material, language and brief violence."

RUNNING TIME: 129 minutes.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RANKING: Two and a half stars out of four.

Associated Press

This image released by The Weinstein Company shows Hugh Bonneville in a scene from "Paddington."

"Paddington"is practically perfect

By JOCELYN NOVECK Associated Press Paddington Bear. How well we know him.

He's cuddly, he's loyal, he's sensitive. He's well-traveled — but loves to stay home, too.

And he can whip up a mean homemade marmalade.

As Mom would say, what's not to love?

And one can say precisely the same of the engaging new "Paddington," written and directed by Paul King and based of course on the famous 1958 book by Michael Bond.

It doesn't try to be too clever. Or too sweet.

Or too dark, for that matter, though there's plenty of mischief, thanks to Nicole Kidman, channeling her inner villainess.

And it works. For parents looking for a film that'll please them and their kids in equal measure, "Paddington" is — as Goldilocks would say in that other bear story — just right.

The ingenuity in King's approach — at a few points, his technique even recalls Wes Anderson — is apparent from the start.

We knew that Paddington (that's not his name, at first) came from "darkest Peru," but King's version shows us the backstory in entertaining fashion. In the Peruvian jungle, a friendly British explorer befriends a bear family and introduces them to certain veddy veddy English inventions — like marmalade. When he leaves, he tells them they'd always be welcome in London.

Years later, when an earthquake destroys the bears' home, orphaned Paddington (well, that's not his name quite yet) decides to set off for London on a boat, leaving his elderly aunt (Imelda Staunton) behind at a retirement home. He brings with him only a suitcase filled with jars of marmalade, the hat the explorer left behind, and a tag around his neck: "Please look after this bear."

Arriving in London, though, our bear (entirely computer generated, and sensitively voiced by Ben Whishaw) finds people aren't that welcoming — it's hard to even get noticed, let alone immediately adopted and taken to a nice home. Luckily, the Brown family, alighting at Paddington

Station, does notice him. The rather uptight Mr. Brown (a delightful Hugh Bonneville, whom most of us know from "Downton Abbey") isn't keen to take him in for the night, but the two kids are, as is their warmhearted mum (an equally delightful Sally Hawkins.)

Once at home — just for one night, Mrs. Brown promises Mr. Brown, while they help find the explorer friend from long ago — Paddington (so named after the station) proceeds to inadvertently cause a giant flood in the bathroom. This does not please Mr. Brown, but will surely delight any kids in the audience — especially when the bear's head gets stuck in the toilet. Who doesn't love a good toilet flood scene?

Cooper dazzles in "American Sniper"

By ROBERT GRUBAUGH Of The Edge Anyone that's come near my general orbit in these last f e w d a y s h a s p ro b a b l y h e a rd me muttering something to the effect of, "$90 million? It's January!" To say I was stunned by the opening box office take for nationwide expansion o f t h e Wa r n e r B r o s . f i l m "American Sniper" is an absolute understatement. By shattering all post-holiday records, industry speculation, and even the loftiest expectations of its own studio, the movie has dominated the Martin Luther King holiday weekend like n o n e o t h e r. A n d w e w o n ' t underestimate this holiday any more even after the great performance by last year's Ride

Along and Lone Survivor.

Billed as the tale of "the most lethal sniper in U.S. history", American Sniper is the story of Chris Kyle, the decorated Navy SEAL sharpshooter that came to service after the embassy b o m b i n g s in N airo b i and Dar es Salaam in 1998. Following four tours in the Iraq War, he racked up 160 confirmed kills in providing over-watch protection for the lives of Marines on grou nd p atrols thro ugh many of the urban conflicts. He's p o r t r a y e d q u i t e h e ro i c a l l y b y Bradley Cooper in this film, an actor who has undergone a formidable physical to add bulk and a thick beard as the tough Texan. Cooper's sturdy work, in fact, has undoubtedly helped the film accumulate about a slew of Oscar nominations, including

one for its screenplay (based on Kyle's autobiography) and for Best Picture.

I can't say that Chris Kyle is portrayed as a conflicted c h a r a c t e r. I n f a c t , t h e m o v i e almost goes too far in its bid to paint him as the wholesale owner of the only clean conscience in the armed forces.

There are scenes where his Remington's gun sights find a child on the crosshairs. He winces at the prospect of taking the ultimate victim, but doesn't hesitate to do what is right to ensure the success of his mission and safe return of his comrades.

Even late in the movie, when the countless atrocities that he sees are clearly affecting his stability, Kyle steadfastly refuses to let his emotions shine through. Blind faith is not something I usually

make a habit of practicing, aside from where my mother's cooking is concerned, and I guess I failed to buy in.

There's nothing wrong with taking a hard line stance on such filmmaking choices, but I found this limiting view to be the lone weakness in an otherwise enjoyable movie.

What I would loved more of was the scenes between tours and after his retirement (before his 2013 murder) where Chris interacts with other veterans, VA doctors, and his family, including wife Taya (Sienna Miller). A lot of the success the movie has seen can be attributed to many factors, b u t n o n e a re m o re i n s p i r i n g that the message of patriotism and fraternal loyalty that run throughout the story. I can see that some of the credit of this

January 29, 2015

would likely be due to director Clint Eastwood, a man that has been exceptionally vocal about his love of country. Still, Ea stw ood too k ov er t h e h elm late in the game after Steven Spielberg withdrew from the project over budgetary disagreements. Cooper is great in the lead role and, in a year without Eddie Redmayne's portrayal of Stephen Hawking, this might be the year he takes h o m e t h e A c a d e m y Aw a r d .

Instead, he'll be a bridesmaid for the third year in a row.

"American Sniper" runs 147 minutes and is rated R for strong and disturbing war violence, and l a n g u a g e t h ro u g h o u t i n c l u d i n g some sexual references. I give this film two and a half stars out of four.

Not seen at The Muny since 2008, Lerner and Loewe’s classic My Fair Lady tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl who takes speech lessons from professor Henry Higgins, a phoneticist, so that she may pass as a lady. Based on George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, My Fair Lady features the classic songs of Lerner and Loewe, such as “On The Street Where You Live,� “I Could Have Danced All Night,� “I’ve Grown Accustomed To Her Face,� and “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly?�

Wi n n e r o f t h e 2 0 0 3 To n y Ž Aw a r d f o r B e s t M u s i c a l , Hairspray returns to the Muny for 9 performances. Come join Tracy Turnblad and “the nicest kids in town� as they reach for their dream of performing on a TV dance show in 1960s Baltimore and work to integrate the show in the process. Based on the 1988 John Waters Film of the same name, Hairspray features such award-winning songs as “Good Morning Baltimore,� “It Takes Two,� “I Know Where I’ve Been,� and “You Can’t Stop The Beat!�

Making its Muny and Midwest premiere, Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn dances its way onto the Muny stage, telling the story of a Connecticut farmhouse transformed into a jubilant nightspot and hotel that is only open on holidays! Based on the 1942 film starring Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire, Holiday Inn features such Irving Berlin classics as “Steppin’ Out With My Baby,� “Shakin’ The Blues Away,� “Be Careful, It’s My Heart,� and more!

Making its Muny premiere, Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story is a musical based on the life and career of early rock and roller Buddy Holly. Opening in 1989, the musical initially ran in London’s West End for over 12 years, and premiered on Broadway in 1990.

One of the first so-called “jukebox musicals,� this show features the songs of Buddy Holly and other early rockers, including classics like “That’ll Be The Day,� “Johnny B. Goode,� “Peggy Sue,� and “Why Do Fools Fall in Love?�

Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s Into The Woods makes its Muny premiere. Winner of 5 Tony Ž Awards, this musical intertwines

t h e p l o t s o f s e v e r a l B ro t h e r s Grimm fairy tales and follows them to explore the consequences of the characters’ wishes and quests. Journey with the Baker and his wife, as they work to lift the Witch’s spell with the help of Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (and the bean stalk), Rapunzel, Cinderella and others.

Returning to the Muny stage for 10 performances, Disney’s Beauty and The Beast tells the magical story of a prince who is transformed into a hideous beast as punishment for his cruel and selfish ways, and an adventurous young woman named Belle whom he imprisons in his enchanted castle. In order to become human again, the Beast must earn Belle’s love before it’s too late. Based on the 1991 film of the same name, Beauty and The Beast features the music of the award-winning composing team of Alan Menken, Howard Ashman and Tim Rice.

The Pulitzer Prize winning O k l a h o m a ! re t u r n s t o F o re s t Park in grand style. The first Muny production since 2007, this Rodgers and Hammerstein classic features an unforgettable story and lush score including such classic hits as “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’,� “The Surrey With the Fringe on Top,� “People Will Say We’re in Love,� and of course, “Oklahoma!�

The Arts Kemper to host work of Sam Durant For The Edge

M

onuments and memorials occupy complicated and often contested spaces of national identification. They commemorate tragic events. They honor the victims of wars, colonization and revolutions. But they also celebrate ideals of national power and unity in ways that shape our collective identity, sanitize violent — even genocidal — pasts and prioritize the viewpoints of the victors.

Over the last decade, artist Sam Durant has investigated these issues and crafted proposals that recast the monument as an artistic form of political critique, focusing on complex topics such as racism against black Americans and the exploitation and massacre of Native Americans.

This spring, the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum at Washington University in St. Louis will present “Sam Durant: Proposal for White and Indian Dead Monument Transpositions, Washington, D.C.” This large-scale installation, on loan from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, consists of 30 minimalist sculptures, each appropriating the form of an existing monument to white and Indian victims killed between the 17th century and the end of the so-called Indian Wars in 1890.

The sources of Durant’s appropriations all share certain characteristics. All are permanent markers, all commemorate massacres involving groups of whites and Native Americans (as opposed to individuals) and all reference the traditional obelisk. Yet of the 30 he was able to identify, only five honor Native American victims. Tellingly, the majority of those — erected by whites in the 19th and early 20th century — memorialize “friendly Indians” who, to varying degrees, had been assimilated into white society.

“These monuments were erected by whites to serve their own interests and do not represent Indian perspectives, experiences or interests,” Durant writes in an artist statement.

While violence is undoubtedly central to many war memorials, the task of memorials “is to justify and validate the loss of life as a necessary sacrifice …. The monuments do not raise questions about the conflicts or the use of violence, nor do they reveal the powerful interests that drove these conflicts.”

That disparity is evident not only in the sheer number of monuments, but also by the asymmetry of their contemporary contexts. For example, Durant points out that the Little Bighorn battlefield — where in 1876 Gen. George Custer led 260 men of the 7th Calvary to their deaths — is now a national park, complete with gift shop and visitor’s center. But the monument to Wounded Knee, where that same 7th Calvary massacred 200 virtually unarmed Lakota in 1890, languishes in a run-down graveyard on the Pine Ridge Reservation, one of the most impoverished places in the United States.

Though varying in size and detail, all of the monuments appropriated by Durant share a strong vertical thrust that pointedly resembles the massive stone structure of the world’s tallest obelisk: the Washington Monument on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Indeed, the artist’s installation is a proposal to relocate the existing massacre memorials to the Mall. Monuments to white dead would be located on either side of the reflecting pool. Monuments to Indian dead would

be installed on the lawn in front of the Washington Monument.

In addition to a scale model of the sculptures on the National Mall, Durant’s room-sized installation consists of the 30 large forms, all painted a homogenous gray, and constructed from MDF (medium-density fibreboard), fiberglass, foam, enamel, copper, basswood and birch veneer. These relatively impermanent — and sometimes incompatible — materials allude to the aesthetics of minimalism, appropriation art and the ready-made object while simultaneously criticizing the commanding authority of the obelisk, as evinced through its monumental presence and sense of permanence.

The result is a new artistic form, a hybrid of sorts, that Durant employs to interrogate America’s foundational narrative; to illuminate the significance of Native Americans to this narrative; and to demonstrate how it continues to advance unequal power relations today.

“Sam Durant: Proposal for White and Indian Dead Monument Transpositions, Washington, D.C.” is curated by Sabine Eckmann, PhD, the William T. Kemper Director and Chief Curator of the Kemper Art Museum.

Related events An opening reception will take place from 7-9 p.m. Friday, Jan. 23. The exhibition will remain on view through April 13.

Eckmann will host a free gallery talk about the exhibition at 5 p.m. Monday, Feb. 9. Eckmann also will moderate a

discussion with Durant and Candice Hopkins, the Elizabeth Simonfay Curatorial Resident in Indigenous Art at the National Gallery of Canada, at 6:30 p.m. Monday, March 16.

Other events will include a pair of talking circles, led by local artist and educator Tina Sparks, on Feb. 13 and March 13; and a gallery conversation, on March 30, between Eckmann and Angela Miller, PhD, professor of art history in Arts & Sciences at Washington University.

About the artist Durant is a multimedia artist who frequently engages American history to create works that explore the relationships between culture and politics in topics ranging from the civil rights movement to southern rock music and modernism. The subject of seven monographic catalogs and books, his work has been displayed internationally and is included in many public collections, including the Tate Modern in London, Project Row Houses in Houston and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Durant’s curatorial credits include “Eat the Market” at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and “Black Panther: the Revolutionary Art of Emory Douglas” — for which he also compiled and edited a comprehensive monograph — at The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and the New Museum in New York. He has co-organized numerous group shows and artists benefits and is a co-founder of Transforma, a cultural rebuilding collective project that began in New Orleans.

Durant was a finalist for the 2008 Hugo Boss Prize and has received a United States Artists Broad Fellowship and a City of Los Angeles Individual Artist Grant. He teaches art at the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, California.

Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum The Kemper Art Museum is located on Washington University’s Danforth Campus, near the intersection of Skinker and Forsyth boulevards. Regular hours are 11 a.m.-5 p.m. daily except Tuesdays and 11 a.m.-8 p.m. the first Friday of the month. The museum is closed Tuesdays.

Bill Roseberry/The Edge

Above, the big bad wolf and waffle fries. Below, the Roman cheese garlic bread

Bigelo's Bistro a treasure in downtown Edwardsville

By BILL ROSEBERRY Of The Edge Over the last 14 years Bigelo's Bistro has been a staple in the community from its location at 140 N. Main St. in Edwardsville.

F ro m a w e s o m e s o u p s , s a l a d s a n d sandwiches to good pasta selections and pizza to great craft beer selections, Bigelo's has plenty for the masses.

I've long been a fan of Bigelo's, so recently I took the time to visit with my friends John and Michelle for a Friday lunch and finally knock out a food review on this treasure.

I started my trip with an appetizer to share with the group. I went with the Roman cheese garlic bread. Two huge slabs of French bread loaded with a mozzarella/provolone cheese blend, feta cheese, basil and Roma tomatoes comprise this treat and it's well worth it.

Each piece of bread has two big slices of tomatoes on it adding a burst of flavor to this already flavorful appetizer. It goes well with the wide spectrum in taste from the cheeses; the sweetness of the mozzarella and provolone to the somewhat bitterness of the feta.

None of us were disappointed with how our meal began with this delicious appetizer.

Michelle also started her meal with the tomato basil soup, which she was more than pleased with. She went for a light and healthy lunch, also getting a large salad which she raved about. John and I both went for some of Bigelo's awesome sandwiches.

John went with the special for the day, which was an Italian sandwich. His only change was he had them hold the peperoncini's, but he was extremely pleased with the freshness and taste of his selection.

He went with the sensational homemade chips at Bigelo's for his side. You can never go wrong with the homemade chips, which are also offered in a savory sweet potato variety.

I went with a new choice for myself, the big bad wolf. Unlike the actual big bad wolf, I got to enjoy my swine feast and I didn't even have to try and blow any houses down. It just cost me $8.75.

The big bad wolf consists of ham, pulled

pork, a mozzarella/provolone cheese blend, bacon jam and sriracha on a baguette.

No veggies on this meat monster, but I guess wolves don't eat lettuce. For those of you that regularly read “You Gotta Eat,” you can probably guess what caught my eye on this creation. You guessed it, it was the bacon jam.

I never shy away from my passion for bacon. I've tried deep fried bacon, a bacon cannoli, chocolate covered bacon, bacon wrapped hot dogs, shrimp, steak, baconinfused burgers, even bacon soda (not recommended — yuck), but never bacon jam.

It wasn't sweet, I don't really know how to explain its taste, but it wasn't bad. Honestly,

it wasn't really the taste that stood out in the sandwich, the ham and pulled pork ran the show. The bacon jam altered the texture of the meat a little bit, making it somewhat creamier on the palate.

Whatever the case, the big bad wolf is definitely another great creation by Bigelo's and something worth checking out. It is quite filling though, I was forced to take half my sandwich home.

Not to be finished, my sandwich was accompanied by French fries, but not just any French fries, waffle fries. Maybe it's just me, but there is something special about French fries of the waffle cut variety. I think the waffle fry trumps the steak fry, curly fry and regular

January 29, 2015

cut fry in taste and texture. It's the best form of the French fry and Bigelo's definitely does it justice, its waffle fries are very good.

As for the rest of the menu, there is plenty.

For appetizers, Bigelo's also offers homemade chips with a blue cheese sauce, greek shrimp and crab cakes to name a few.

On the soup portion of the menu, the beer cheese soup is awesome and there is a large contingency of salads to choose from.

The sandwich portion supplies some goodies. The Bigelo's grilled cheese is a classic, with cheddar, swiss and a mozzarella/ provolone cheese blend. The chicken guy is also an all-star, consisting of a six-ounce grilled chicken breast on a kaiser roll with lettuce, Roma tomatoes and your choice of cheddar, swiss, pepper jack or the mozzarella/ provolone cheese blend.

On the oven baked subs selections, I'm a fan of the pigggelo. The pigggelo offers pulled pork, bacon, pepperoni, the mozzarella/ provolone cheese blend, lettuce, onions and tarragon vinaigrette on a toasted baguette.

There is also stuff like the STL Hops Special pizza, with chipotle barbecue sauce, pulled pork, onions, pepperjack cheese and the mozzarella/provolone blend. The special entreés portion of the menu has stuff like the whiskey beef medallions, which has beef tenderloin medallions in a whiskey cream sauce with onions, bacon and mushroom caps.

Among the choices on the pasta menu is the unique barbecue chicken pasta, comprised of grilled chicken breast, portobello mushrooms, Roma tomatoes and red onion tossed with rigatoni noodles in a barbecue cream sauce and topped with cheddar cheese.

You can check out the entire menu at Bigelo's on its website at www.bigelosbistro. com.

And if you like the craft beer craze, Bigelo's is big into that, too. Offering up a rotating variety of local and national craft beers, it also hosts occasional beer tastings as well as wine tastings. Check out Bigelo's beer listings on their website.

An Edwardsville treasure, Bigelo's is definitely a place to check out when you gotta eat.

Dining Delights The Ege's own Bill Roseberry, famous for his You Gotta' Eat restaurant reviews, has put together his thoughts on a number of local eateries.

Enjoy.

Fazzi’s Bar and Restaurant 1813 Vandalia St. Collinsville Opa! You’ll probably hear this a few times here as patrons order the signature appetizer dish, Saganaki, consisting of breaded goat cheese which is doused in oil and set on fire. This Greek and Italian restaurant is very affordable and has some great choices, including the Mousaka. The gyro plate isn’t bad either.

Roma’s Pizza 121 E. Bethalto Dr. Bethalto This is a treasure in Bethalto.

Fantastic pizza, some of the best in the metropolitan area. Always packed so be prepared to wait, but it’s worth it. Make sure to check out the bosco sticks also.

Mini Corral Hamburgers 1500 Main St. Alton Small shack that serves great mini burgers, French fries and onion things. Nothing special on aesthetics, get your food in a greasy white box but its been a staple in Alton for a long time.

King Louie’s Drive-In S. 6th St. Wood River This is an old-style drive-in restaurant where you can still order your meal from you car. Great burgers and fries and make sure to check out the fried cauliflower. Their root beer soda is also fantastic. There is also a dining area where you can go inside.

Bigelo’s Bistro 140 N. Main St. Edwardsville It has classic sandwiches and a cool atmosphere to have lunch or chill out with some friends. It can get a little pricey for what it is, but it’s well worth it. Make sure to check out the Pigggelo and the Chicken Guy for a couple of great sandwiches.

Cleveland-Heath 106 N. Main St. Edwardsville Great place for a dinner date, intimate seating and the eclectic menu is amazing. Expect a wait, it gets busy. Plenty of unique creations to choose from, but make sure to check out the awesome sweet potato fries. A must to try here is the beignets off of the dessert menu.

They practically melt in your mouth.

Prepare to pay, it’s a little pricey.

Ruiz Mexican Restaurant 901 N. Hwy 67 Florissant Good Mexican restaurant with a large menu. It’s great for a date spot with quiet secluded booths. Check out the fajitas or the create your own menu. It also offers a full bar.

Castelli’s Restaurant at 255 3400 Fosterburg Rd. Alton This place is a staple in Alton.

It’s a great place to take a date due to the intimate setting. Great food, make sure to check out the fried chicken and their awesome house salad. It also has plenty more to choose from.

Geno’s 140 Club 120 W. Bethalto Blvd.

Bethalto It is a great place to wind down at the bar and watch the game with a burger and fries or head to the back dining area for a nice, quiet dining experience. It offers an extensive menu, from burgers, to steaks, to Mexican, to Italian. Make sure to check out the Geno’s stromboli and the line of horseshoes available.

The pork tenderloin sandwich is pretty good, too.

Mexican charizo (sausage) and white queso cheese. The “build a burrito” portion of the meun is fun, too. For dessert save room for the deep fried New York cheesecake.

Doc’s Smokehouse 1017 Century Dr. Edwardsville Just the aromas that hit you when you walk in the door are enough

Fast Eddie’s Bon Air 1530 E. 4th St. Alton Check out the cheapest food around in a fun atmosphere.

Order a Fat Eddie Burger or a Big Elwood and make sure to scarf down some peel and eat shrimp, all for under $10. Also includes great live entertainment and plenty of drinks. I warn you, it does get a little packed. Sunday afternoons are great, a little less of a crowd and usually a pretty good band.

Ragazzi’s Restaurant 4945 Daggett Ave. The Hill This is a great place to get Italian cuisine and wine and dine a date.

Call ahead, you may have to get reservations. It’s a little expensive, but it’s worth it. On the drink side, don’t miss out on trying a fish bowl.

LaFonda Mexican Restaurant 2310 Troy Rd. Edwardsville Be prepared to get your food quick and delicious. There is a huge menu to pick from. The fajitas and chimichangas are great.

It also offers a good build-yourown portion of the menu and nothing will hurt your pocket book too bad either.

Mazzio’s Italian Eatery 2683 Northern Way Highland Good pizza and has a nice salad bar and buffet. It’s a great place to take the family for nice dinner out.

If you don’t want pizza, it also offers pasta dishes and sandwiches. The mini meatball bake and the greek pasta are good choices.

The Pump House Bar & Grill 1523 E. Edwardsville Rd. Wood River This is a cool place to go get a bite to eat or check out live entertainment and grab some drinks. It gets a little creative for bar food and a little expensive, but it’s good. The beef brisket sandwich and the pulled pork are both good. They also have some good craft beers on hand like stuff from 4 Hands Brewery in St. Louis.

S&S Sandwich Shop 2505 State St. Alton If you’re in the mood for a good, independently owned deli shop, then this is the spot. Delicious and fresh, they offer a creative line of sandwiches, along with soup selections. Try out the pig on a wing: turkey breast, ham, bacon, lettuce, tomato, red onion, cheddar and swiss cheese and spicy red pepper mayo served on a hoagie bun.

Chava’s Mexican Restaurant 217 E. Vandalia St. Edwardsville A good place to go for a highquality Mexican meal. Check out the Jenas on the appetizer menu, j a l a p e n ó h a l v e s s t u ff e d w i t h

On the Edge of the Weekend

to make the visit worthwhile. The Doc’s Signature is definitely worth ordering. It’s sliced brisket topped with grilled onions and Provolone cheese served on a toasted and garlic buttered ciabatta bun. Plenty of sides to choose from, too. Check out the corn casserole.

Crown Candy Kitchen 1401 Saint Louis Ave.

St. Louis If you like bacon and candy then this is a spot worth checking out.

Be prepared to wait in line, it’s the price of fame. Being featured on Man vs. Food has made this old school eating spot even more popular. Check out the heart stopping BLT if you like bacon, there’s plenty of it and it’s plenty good.
