Paso Robles Entertainment for Feb. 18th – 24th 

Paso Robles Entertainment for the week of Feb. 18th – Feb. 24th

Well, to the few of you out there that actually read this every week I’m sure you noticed I didn’t have an update and review for you this past week. I had family in town from Tennessee and spent the week traveling the coast. Highlight of the week was getting to meet the one and only Bruce Campbell at the Castro Theater in San Francisco. Unfortunately the meet and greet was short lived; I could have sat and talked with him all night. In our brief talk he did assure me that fans of the original “Evil Dead” movies are going to love what they have done with the remake coming  out in April.  While I have been on the go I did manage to get to Park Cinemas this week which leads me into my review for this week.

 

The Park Cinemas Picture of the Week: “A Good Day to Die Hard” (R)

diehardfeatureimage

John McClane (Bruce Willis) really needs to stop trying to take vacations. He  is back at it again in the newest Die Hard installment “A Good Day to Die Hard” and once again things don’t go as planned thanks to some foreign terrorists. This time around John McClane is in Russia to reconnect with his son and try to help him out. His son, Jack (Jai Courtney), is following in his footsteps and is fighting crime as an undercover CIA agent. I don’t want to give too many details away, but as usual things aren’t as they seem. While things don’t go as planned, there’s nothing like some good old father and son bonding while killing some bad guys. This was one of the most action packed Die Hard movies to date. It will have you riding your seat like an American Cowboy yelling out Yippie-Kay-Yay! That being said, as far as Die Hard movies go is not one of the better ones. Enjoyed it more than “Die Hard 2”, but “Die Hard” and “Die Hard: With a Vengeance” are easily the best out of the series. If you’re looking for a great Die Hard movie you may be disappointed, but if you’re just looking for a good action movie then you’ll enjoy the hell out of “A Good Day to Die Hard”.

PARENT’S NIGHT OUT
February 22nd at 7:00 PM
Presented by the Clark Center Association

Parent’s Night Out is a chance to laugh at the trials of everyday life, family, marriage and parenthood. The show is an instant audience favorite, delighting theatre audiences around the country. Karen Morgan, a Southern belle, and Jim Colliton, a Boston Irishman, are both comedy veterans. They are also parents who are married – just not to each other – so they bring you both sides of the story. Through standup comedy, improv and hilarious audience participation, Jim and Karen give parents of all ages a chance to laugh at the trials and tribulations of parenthood, marriage, family and everyday life in America. Parents Night Out is clean “comedy for grownups.” As a special bonus, the Clark Center is providing a free movie night for kids in our Studio Theatre during the Show, so you can experience a real “Parent’s Night Out!” Space is limited, so reserve now!

ALL HANDS ON DECK!

Presented by the Clark Center Association

All singing! All dancing! All Big Band! All Hands on Deck! is a new, two-act revue featuring the
songs, dances and laughs that America has loved since the 40’s. All Hands on Deck! includes over 40 classic Big Band hits, all packaged in a fun-filled true-to-life reproduction of the kind of USO show Bob Hope & Jack Benny would have taken to the troops: classic humor and great music. Songs include “Chattanooga Choo-Choo,” “I’m In The Mood For Love,” “Pennsylvania Polka,” “I’ll Never Smile Again,” “Don’t Fence Me In,” “America The Beautiful,” “Deep in the Heart of Texas,” “Thanks for the Memory” and a powerful Military Medley. All Hands on Deck! is the perfect way to step back into 1942 and pay tribute to both active duty and veteran members of our armed forces.
