When we had the chance to see the touring production of Mary Poppins, we emphatically said yes, mostly for nostalgic reasons. Our VHS version of the musical staring Julie Andrews was a staple for hours of entertainment. Fast forward twenty or so years, we still know most of the songs from the Academy Award winning classic, however we weren't sure what to expect from the nationally touring version produced by Disney on Broadway.

Can't Miss It: Tuesday
DEAD ALIVE: Touted as "The Goriest Fright Film of All Time," Dead Alive (aka Braindead) will be playing tonight at Central Cinema. And yes, they will be featuring Peter Jackson's director's cut with the full lawnmower scene. The plot sounds fantastic--a woman is bitten by a Sumatran rat-monkey, dies, and comes back to life to kill and eat DOGS, among other living creatures. It doesn't get much more awesome than that.
