Steve Persall, Tampa Bay Times. "42 is competent, occasionally rousing and historically respectful — but it rarely rises above standard, old-fashioned biography fare. It’s a mostly unexceptional film about an exceptional man." Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times. Do you plan on seeing this movie?

Jurassic Park 3-D Mark Glass, Patch blogger: **** Twenty years ago, Steven Spielberg added to his impressive list of WOW! movies, thrilling, scaring and fascinating the world with this sci-fi epic of cloned dinosaurs running amok at an island theme park. Now hordes of computer geeks have pounced upon the Master's master print, upgrading it with current 3-D technology to fine effect. Not only does the original story hold up, but the basic question of whether our collective wisdom is keeping pace with the rapid pace of scientific advances to use…

Our newest blogger keeps us in the loop about theater happenings in Kirkwood. Did you know there's a new improv group in town?
If you want proof that our blogging platform is super easy, look no further than our newest blogger, Terry Sibbitts, the executive director of the Kirkwood Theatre Guild (KTG). Did you know KTG has a new improv group? It's called Twisted Improv. Terry wrote about the group in our Local Voices section on Tuesday with her first blog post: Kirkwood Theatre Guild Offers New Entertainment Option! That must have been pretty easy because the following day she posted again about the group and uploaded a video of performers in action: What Is the Question Game? Is It Really Funny? And just like that, we had rich content around Twisted Improv and the Kirkwood Theatre Guild through the words of someone who is passionate about the arts and Kirkwood. …

There are many methods to create and design colored, hard-boiled Easter eggs. Which way did you choose this year? Please participate in this quick Patch poll regarding current egg-related works of art.
Coloring hard-boiled Easter eggs used to be accomplished from boiling grasses and vegetation, into which eggs were dipped. In more modern decades, people saved up empty peanut-butter jars and dropped in fizzy color tablets to dye eggs, one treasure at a time. It was mesmerizing to watch the Alka-Seltzer-like color show. Remember all the color drips down onto newspapers? And splatters as we dunked eggs in and out of the liquid magic? Anyone ruin any clothing while preparing Easter eggs? Manufacturers now offer no-spill Easter eggs kits, such as the one offered in local Dierbergs supermarkets. Some consumers have devised natural ways to prepare eggs for this season. Each year at this time, I vividly remember the year I just missed the Easter…

The Waiting Room Mark Glass, Patch blogger: *** Anyone who claims the United States’ healthcare system is OK probably has employer-paid insurance, and a primary-care doc on speed dial. Unfortunately, millions have less-to-no coverage and, therefore, little access to needed services. For an appalling number of our compatriots, emergency rooms are their only recourse, leading to huge crowds and long waits in those facilities. This matter-of-fact documentary …

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone Mark Glass, Patch blogger: Steve Carell stars in this almost-funny-enough comedy as a headlining Las Vegas magician who has lost his way. We see how he and his partner (Steve Buscemi) bonded as nerdy children in 1982, glomming onto magic tricks as their own Zenlike path to enlightenment... or at least to the end of being ostracized and bullied by the other kids. Fast-forward to the present. They’ve been doing the same glitzy…
