Paso Robles Entertainment – Jan. 28 – Feb. 2 

By Russ Troutt
As always, the Central Coast delivers a lot of options if you want to get out of the house and do something this week. Up to this point I’ve brought you nothing but good movie reviews and recommended the best movie I saw over the weekend that is worth spending your hard earned money on. Unfortunately, I only got around to seeing one movie this week and well, let’s just get into it shall we.

The Park Cinemas “DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY” Picture of the Week: “Movie 43” (R)

http://www.dreamstime.com/-image579401My momma always told me if you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all. When it comes to “Movie 43” I have absolutely nothing nice to say. In the commercials they say it can’t be unseen and sadly, they are right. Where’s Will Smith or Tommy Lee Jones with that little gadget from “Men In Black” to erase your memory when you need them. I’m going to see a bad movie or three throughout the year, that’s a given, but just didn’t expect to see one as bad as “Movie 43” this soon. Thankfully for you, I try to see as many movies as time allows so I can give you good recommendations or tell you ones to pass on and save your money. You’re welcome Paso Robles, because I just saved you eleven dollars this week. It has been a really long time since I got up and left in the middle of a movie, and if not for being with a friend, I would have got up and left halfway through this one. Someone in Hollywood must have a lot of blackmail on the cast that makes up “Movie 43”, otherwise I can’t see why any of them would be in such an atrocious film. Scratch that, I can’t call this movie a film. That’s is discrediting to the word ‘film’. There is no story line or real plot to the movie. You have Dennis Quaid trying to sell his screenplay idea to Greg Kinnear, who is playing a movie executive. As Quaid explains his ideas for the movie, we see them acted out. What we end up with is a bunch of shorts that don’t connect in any which way or form and just aren’t funny. I’ve seen some pretty bad movies in my time, but I can honestly say I think this is the worst movie I’ve ever seen. Sorry mom, but this is me being nice about “Movie 43”.

Avner the Eccentric on February 1st at the Pavilion at 8PM

With a nod to commedia dell’arte and a wink at the silent movies, Avner Eisenberg is a master of the quietly ridiculous. Although his act is wordless, Eisenberg’s expressive face speaks volumes, whether he’s juggling an 8-foot ladder or dining on paper napkins; dancing with his broom or just trying to keep his hat on his head.A thinking man’s clown for all ages, Avner’s performance is a reminder that theatrical power can reside in a single charismatic performer who touches the heart.
