Bacon Strip

by Miryam Gordon - SGN A&E Writer

Wyrd Sisters
Open Circle Theater

Where It's At: LaVette, Lambert, Silversun Pickups top July shows
by Albert Rodriguez - SGN A&E Writer

Truth be told, I'm bummed about the cancellation of Rihanna's tour kickoff at White River Amphitheatre, a concert I was looking forward to since the day it was announced. But the show - or rather, shows - must go on, and here are eight of them worth noting in July.

The Killer Inside Me

Warning: This film is not for the squeamish. Warning: This warning is not an exaggeration. I can handle a good deal of cinematic violence and this film pushed me to my limits.

Predators is textbook Hollywood fun - just don't think about it
by Scott Rice - SGN Contributing Writer

Predators
Opening July 9


Predators is not cutting-edge sci-fi. On the contrary, if I had to teach a class on the classic Hollywood action/adventure style I'd have the students watch Predators. It's textbook.

A HISTORY OF DISCRIMINATION
While I, of course, hope that the lawsuit against California 's Prop 8 is successful, I am troubled by some of the discussion attributed to 'our side' in your article of June 18 [Federal Prop 8 case wraps, 6/18/10].
