‘Big Lebowski’ returns
Dig out the Medina Sod shirt and head to local cinemas for showings of The Big Lebowski, the trippy Coen brothers comedy starring Jeff Bridges (who does indeed sport a bowling shirt from the local sod company in one scene).
The movie, which turned 16 in March, has gained admirers since its initial, tepidly received theatrical run. This latest viewing may be bittersweet for some fans, since Lebowski made at least one critic’s list of the best performances by Philip Seymour Hoffman after the actor died in February.
But how many movies can boast the Coens, being ranked among the best bowling movies ever made — and having the most inspired use of a Kenny Rogers song found onscreen?
Showings are at 2 p.m. Sunday and 2 and 7 p.m. Wednesday in Cinemark Valley View, Tinseltown USA in Jackson Township and Regal Crocker Park. See www.fandango.com for tickets.
Football is back!
On Sunday night, following the weekend enshrinement of seven brand-new pro football hall of famers, the first preseason game of 2014 will happen at Fawcett Stadium (Earl Schreiber Circle Northwest, Canton).
The Hall of Fame Game will be played by the New York Giants and the Buffalo Bills, and it will be awful. Nevertheless, the game begins at 8 p.m. Sunday.
Tickets are $54-$74; get more information at 330-456-8207, www.profootballhof.com. It will also air on NBC.
