BLACK HISTORY MONTH: Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles & "Safe House" - Pasadena
This location is shown only to members
Please join the Connection and our sister group, SoCal Movie Fanatics on TGIF (February 10, 2012) at 5:15 pm for dinner at Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles - Pasadena. It'd be great if you're joining us for dinner to "RSVP" YES so that Roscoe's can accommodate our group. Roscoe's doesn't accept reservations. Please review the online menu in preparation for ordering dinner in about 15 minutes when each table is seated. There will be one check per table -- please BRING CASH!!!
We'll settle our dinner checks by 7:15 pm so we'll have enough time to drive over to Paseo Colorado to catch the 8:00 pm movie showtime at ArcLight Cinemas Pasadena of Denzel Washington's latest flick, "Safe House" (FaceBook / YouTube). Please update your RSVP with your seat number. You can buy your reserved seat tickets online or through iPhone app.
The film centers on a young house sitter of a CIA-run safe house who must help a criminal, who's being hidden there, avoid being killed as they flee to another secure facility when the first house is destroyed by villains who want the witness dead.
Starring: Denzel Washington, Ryan Reynolds, Brendon Gleeson, Sam Shepard, Robert Patrick, Liam Cunningham, Vera Farmiga
Look for @SoCalMovieFans to check in on FourSquare and Twitter. Since ArcLight shows no in-theater advertising, the feature will begin promptly following 5-7 minutes of previews. Please note that in order to allow uninterrupted viewing, no one will be seated after the feature film begins. Please confirm that you are able to arrive for the show time you are purchasing.

(Smile) One of my all-time favorites was 'Sparkle' w/ Lonette McKee. That movie soundtrack came from Aretha Franklin, if I'm not mistaken. Was Whitney gong to play the role of McKee in that film? Humph! The irony in that.

no-shows are on the rise :-( Movie was action packed and suspenseful. There were times where movie was dragging on a subplot too long. Close-up fight and car crash scenes were impressive. Reynolds held his own. Thanks to EVERYONE who continues to honor their RSVPs and support African American cinema. Tracee, it was a pleasure meeting you off-line and look forward to catching up with you at upcoming events :-)

Tracee & I spotted Derek Luke at ArcLight's concession stand. I'm guessing he went to the same screening of Safe House. Luke has an upcoming role in "Sparkle" starring and exec produced by Whitney. "Sparkle" opens in August 2012. R.I.P. Ms. Whitney Elizabeth Houston :-(
