On Sat. May 21 – Fineview will be transformed to Spineview Movie Set

Another awesome collaboration to show off more of wonderful Pittsburgh! Saturday, May 21, 2011 – is the annual PopUp Pittsburgh – this is the annual project of the Leadership Pittsburgh students.  Each year – PopUp Pittsburgh plans a big day long festival in a different neighborhood.  I checked out the PopUp Pittsburgh Uptown 2 years ago and had a great time checking out many hidden gems of uptown neighborhoods. But wait, this collaboration also involves zombies. This year PopUp Pittsburgh is taking over Fineview for the day – and trasnforming the neighborhood in to Spineview.  Fineview will be the location… Read the rest

Banff is Back- April 8, 9 & 10

I have a thing for sportsy, outdoorsy films – it is a pretty interesting way to get a little bit of the outdoors mixed in with a the story of interesting athletes.  One of the neatest bars I have been to – Mai Tai Bar in Honolulu – gets major points – not for aestiques – it is actually on the roof of a mall in Honolulu – but bonus points for their entertainment – they have live isalnd music in the bar and show skiing and surfing films on the TVs.  (There is also a Mai Tai Bar in… Read the rest

Get Swept Away at the Science Center This Weekend

The Hollywood Pitch – Hollywood Returns to Pittsburgh for the Film Factory

This is one of my favorite events that I attended last year.  I have long been a fan of Carl Kurlander and I think that the Film Factory is one of the most interesting projects in town.  For the 2nd year in a row – the Steeltown Entertainment Project is sponsoring a HUGE film competition.  Each month they hold a different event and the entrants are narrowed down. Right now there are 10 quarter finalists who made it to the pitch phase. This saturday you can watch these finalists pitch their film ideas to an all star panel of judges.… Read the rest

Those Summer Nights…

Image via Wikipedia You might be familiar with the Oaks Theater because they have been showing horror films this halloween season.  Well the Oaks theater is back with even movie entertainment – the Grease Sing-A-Long.  For a certain segment of the movie viewing population – I could see how this could also be scarier than a horror film – but I am betting that there are some Grease fans in Pittsburgh. The Oaks Theater – which is located in Oakmont – is bringing the Grease sing-a-long to Pittsburgh in a big way. A newly restored print brings the highest-grossing musical… Read the rest
