Win a Copy of Leprechaun on DVD!

 

Next month America's overexposed sweetheart Jennifer Aniston will be appearing in one of this summer's least anticipated films The Break Up. In honor of this unmomentous occasion Cinema Bizarro's Mike Sullivan will be giving one lucky Philly Edge reader a copy of Aniston's first and best film "Leprechaun" on DVD!

Here are the rules:

- In 200 words or less describe what will happen to Aniston's career after "The Break Up" inevitably tanks at the box office. Will it shrivel up and die? Soar like an eagle? Stab Vince Vaughn in a very public place? Tell Mike and you'll not only win a DVD worth literally tens of dollars but you'll also get a warm and hearty shout-out in an upcoming issue of Philly Edge!

Eighth Floor

 Bars and clubs

I used to go to the Eight Floor all of the time. Then I moved onto partying at Studio and Tru in AC. Grew out of the AC scene. However, I remember how much fun the Eighth Floor was!!!! Is it still open?

Shore bets pay off

Atlantic City has played its cards right in marketing to young adults

By Tara Nurin
Philly EDGE Correspondent

Monica Moore and her boyfriend, Chris, couldn’t believe their good fortune. After gambling for six hours in Atlantic City, they were “up” at the blackjack table and they wanted to celebrate. Normally a frugal couple, the 20-somethings from Camden County quickly agreed to spend some of their winnings on dinner at a restaurant in one of the 11 (at the time) casinos in the Jersey resort city.
But that’s when their luck ran out.
“We take a walk down the boardwalk and we stop at Caesars. We figure we can get a good meal at Caesars, right?” Moore recalls. “Well, the only restaurant -- besides the buffets -- that was open was Planet Hollywood. So he’s up 800 bucks and we end up having a dinner from paper sunglass-shaped menus. It was ridiculous.”

and directed by Michael Phillip Edwards produced by Dale Obert. 90 minutes.

Runt is a strikingly passionate story of a Jamaican-American man who is forced
to confront the ancestral demons of his past in order to be the man he wants
to be for his son. Christopher Davis, a writer, returns home to Jamaica when
he feels his snap coming on. A snap is what his family describes as the moment
the nice gentle Jamaican man everyone knew, all but disappears to reveal the
headstrong, sexually deviant, macho prideful male that lives within. Through
flashbacks, we study a character that is complex and passionately layered. PHILADELPHIA
