Hollywood BLVD Friday

Hmmm, Your Highness or Hanna? What to see, what to see........Screw It! Scream 4 it is!
Went and saw Scream 4 last night at Hollywood Blvd after enjoying a burger and beers at the Tilted Kilt. Bonus sighting of Burt Reynolds walking through the theater as he was there for a special showing of some of his movies. Had a good crowd for the movie which weighed heavily on fun over scares. Decent beginning led to a slow middle and ended with a fun blood soaked finale. If it had managed to get some actual scares in there it would have been a B, but this earns a C+.
Best line of the night was from the weird guy with a wizard cane sitting behind me and Lane. During the movie, there was a line about how if you are gay you have a better chance of surviving a horror movie. At which time the guy said "Alright!"
Next Up: Thor, May 6th

Your Highness

What: Your Highness - A Medieval Action Stoner Comedy .

Where: Hollywood BLVD in Woodridge (75th and Lemont Rd) .

When: Friday 4/15: Drinks around 7 at a bar near the theater, Get to theater at 9 for more drinks at bar in theater and to make sure we get good seats. Movie at 10:00 with more drinks during show.

This movie looks hilarious. It is made by the same guys who made Pinapple Express and stars James Franco, Danny McBride, and Natalie Portman. I like Hollywood BLVD for this movie so we can have some cocktails and appetizers during the show. I say we get a buzz on for the start as well. Lets hit a bar in Woodridge around 7 for some pre-show drinks. Maybe BWW or Tilted Kilt. Will also take other suggestions for bars. Hope to see some of you guys out. Leave a comment if you are thinking of coming out.
