The 89th Annual Academy Awards is upon us, so it’s time to pull out the champagne flutes, shot glasses, and a nice bottle of bubbly to drink while attendees can’t. New rules, same game.
Located in East Passyunk, Top Chef winner Nick Elmi’s new bar ITV is a hidden gem. The lights are low and the seats are few, with 12 at the bar and a limited number of small tables in the back if you plan on eating more than just a small snack along with your cocktail. In a word, it’s sexy.

“Whet Your Appetite.” Written on the wall in the main dining area, I was already impressed by the clever wordplay when I walked into Whetstone Tavern. Whetstone just opened this past summer, and as I took my seat, the restaurant was already packed. Located in Queen Village, Whetstone’s cozy, rustic tavern is a great neighborhood restaurant to try when you’re looking to get off campus and go somewhere new.

“I want to be the best in the world.” Mark Schultz (Channing Tatum), an American 1984 Olympic gold medalist responds with these words to John Du Pont (Steve Carell) after John simply asks, “What do you hope to achieve?” The highly–anticipated psychological drama “Foxcatcher” tells the true story of what happens when Mark joins Du Pont, a schizophrenic heir, to form the 1988 US Olympic wrestling team.
The bend and snap. Elle Woods made her grand entrance as she walked her way onto Harvard’s Law School campus with her little chihuahua, Bruiser, trotting along behind her. Elle exuded a confident, optimistic persona, while she remained focused on her ultimate task at hand...winning back her ex–boyfriend, Warner Hunnington III. I know. It may sound ridiculous to say that Elle Woods and “Legally Blonde” have helped shaped my identity and who I am today. I watched it for the first time when I was nine years old, and it’s gotten to the point where I can recite Elle’s break up scene with Warner verbatim.
Based on bestselling novel written by Gillian Flynn, “Gone Girl” recounts what happens when Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) returns home on his fifth wedding anniversary to find his wife Amy (Rosamund Pike) missing, and later goes on to become the prime suspect for a possible murder investigation. “Gone Girl” will be released October 3rd, 2014.
The release of a new trailer for “Foxcatcher,” which stars Steve Carell, Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo, captures a glimpse of one of this fall’s most anticipated films. Based on a true story, this dark, psychological drama recounts what happens when an Olympic–gold–medal wrestler (Tatum) agrees to begin training under a wealthy schizophrenic heir (Carrell) and help form a wrestling team for the 1988 Seoul Olympics. “Foxcatcher” will be in theaters November 14th.
The release of the first trailer of “The Giver” captures a glimpse of the upcoming film adaptation of one of everyone’s favorite novels growing up, “The Giver.” Starring Jeff Bridges and Meryl Streep, the film tells the story of Jonas (Brendon Thwaites), an eleven–year old boy who lives in a utopian society where one ultimately has no freedom to determine his or her own future or identity. When Jonas is assigned the role of “The Receiver,” his eyes are opened to the suppression within his community and he attempts to fight back. The film will be released August 15, 2014.
We’ll never forget the notable childhood memory of Mary Poppins singing, “Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.” An emotionally dynamic film and current Oscar contender, “Saving Mr. Banks” recounts the true story of "Mary Poppins" author, P. L. Travers (Emma Thompson), as she works with Walt Disney (Tom Hanks) in the production of the “Mary Poppins” movie.
With a special screening of the opening six minutes of “American Hustle” at the American Film Institute Festival, it looks like director David O. Russell’s next big film has made it to the list of Oscar contenders once again. “American Hustle” tells the story of Irving Rosenfeld (Christian Bale), a con man who is recruited and forced to work for FBI agent Richie DiMaso (Bradley Cooper). After Rosenfeld and his wife (Amy Adams) get pushed into the mafia world of New Jersey, we learn that while some hustle for love, respect and truth, we all hustle to survive. “American Hustle” will be released Dec. 13, 2013.
