Music & Entertainment

Friday, August 24th – Movie release day. Quiet night tonight? Check out these two flicks coming out today. You see them everyday whizzing past you on the street, now head to the theater to see Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a bike messenger on the run in, “Premium Rush” (PG-13). Master Storytelling-Comedian Mike Birbiglia stars in the big screen version of his renowned Off-Broadway play, “Sleepwalk with Me” (NR).
