His & Her Show returns to Beaumont

‘Savages’

‘The Amazing Spider-Man’Starring: Andrew Garfield, Emma StoneDirected by: Marc WebbRated: PG-13My spidey sense tells me that this is going to be one of the biggest movies of the summer because it’s that good — on every level. For anyone asking why this Marvel Comic hero needed a reboot after the highly successful trilogy starring Toby Maguire, this new feature will quell any discussion despite some of the liberties taken with the character’s mythology.

Missouri circus performer Cathy Carden is excited about coming to Beaumont.

In The Dark

‘Magic Mike’ 

Despite many 11th hour predictions that “Magic Mike” would top the raunchy teddy bear comedy “Ted” from Seth McFarlane, in the weekend box office wars, it did not happen. Still it was a record-breaking weekend as both movies exceeded profit expectations — a first for two openers on the same day. There is something to be said for giving the people what they want.

A mere 43 years after Woodstock, the promoters of a music and culture event to be held in Beaumont are hoping for an influx of mostly young people looking to have a good time. The peace signs and love beads and other relics of the Summer of Love have been consigned to the dustbin of history, replaced by the walking dead.
