We've provided you with some music and outdoor events. Now let's take a look at the new movies that are worth checking out this weekend.
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith - If you didn't geek it outdoors to be the very first one in line to see this movie, then try catching it this weekend. Also bring some protective head gear. You never know when someone might use a lightsaber on you.
Saving Face - How can you go wrong when you have Joan Chen in your movie? But if you want a better plotline this will have to do: A Chinese-American lesbian and her traditionalist mother (JOAN CHEN!) are reluctant to go public with secret loves that clash against cultural expectations.
Madagascar - Fun kids movie. We were wondering when that island south east of Africa was going to be made into it's own movie. At the ripe old age of 9, we been dreaming of living there. Since we haven't really stepped foot on another continent, seeing Madagascar is the closest we'll ever get to being there.
