 Art & Culture

Cheltenham Art Center 64th Annual Juried Awards Painting Exhibit Opening Reception- Sunday, April 30th from 2-4pm.
Cheltenham Art Center galleries are graced by the vivid colors of paintings from various artists of the Tri-State area. Over a 150 artists submitted paintings for the 64th Annual Juried Awards Painting Exhibit that runs from April 30 thru May 26, 2006 with an opening reception on April 30, 2006.

Gallery owners Rodger LaPelle and his wife Christine McGinnis, both accomplished artists, juried this year’s show as a team. Their own work hangs along side the works that they selected for the exhibition, giving artists an opportunity to see the vision that played into the selection of work. LaPelle and McGinnis have entered their work in this exhibition for many years, periodically being accepted and selected as prize winners. It is with pleasure that Rodger and Christine juried this exhibition.

Steve Lopez update

 

Even though Philly EDGE has only been around since September (long after he was gone from Philly), we still miss former Inquirer columnist Steve Lopez, who now writes for the Los Angeles Times.

We came down with major cravings for a Lopez column after we read this mini-profile on Lopez in LA Weekly.

Scary Movie 4

 

I have a confession to make, I love parody films. The only problem is I'm not sure why. I find the whole genre to be stale, stupid and obvious in the most grating way possible. Yet every time I hear that another Scary Movie sequel is in production my heart races like a candy coated lamb at spring time.

I guess you could say my masochistic love is sort of like when you compulsively run your tongue over a particularly painful canker sore. You know it hurts but you do it anyway. Again you could say that but you'd be wrong. Because nobody willfully seeks out mouth sores.

As in previous entries, Scary Movie 4 is little more than a collection of spoofs clumsily book-ended by a plot that's about as wafer thin and incoherent as Kate Moss after a 72 hour coke binge.
