Weekend Arts & Entertainment

I took in a variety of various entertainment options this weekend with my better half.  It was a great way to spend the weekend.

• Hot Tub Time Machine
  • On Saturday night, we took in the showing of Hot Tub Time Machine at the Landmark Harbor East.  For a nostalgic and hilarious look-back on the 1980s that is highly entertaining, go see this movie.  Rob Corrdry was the scene stealer in this movie, but the squirrel comes in as a close second.
• Gertrude’s at the BMA
  • Brunch at Gertrude’s was tasty, and the menu had a delicious selection of good eats.  I had a cup of the Cream of Crab and had the Eggs Gertrude–a variation on Eggs Benedict with broiled crabcakes on the English muffin.  A delicious precursor to touring the museum.
• Cezanne and American Modernism
  • Following brunch, we took in the Cezanne exhibit at the BMA.  The exhibit shows some of his works alongside those American painters where his influence was quite profound.  Again, a very enjoyable afternoon, with the exception of the rather loud (and new) audio tour guides used by other patrons.  Still, I recommend seeing the exhibit and also viewing the other items in the rest of the museum’s collection.
