Dan Gross: Prince Music Theater offers films

June 17, 2010|By Dan Gross

CASH-STRAPPED Prince Music

Theater (1412 Chestnut) had a pretty good idea to raise revenue.

Starting with "Toy Story 3" tomorrow, it's offering first-run films. The Prince's Summer Cinema Series is part of its strategy to keep the theater self-supporting, with more movies to open there throughout the summer.

The theater's live-music and theater events will still take place.

Parting is such

sweet sorrow

We hear the longtime girlfriend/business partner of a local hipster blogger whose relevance continues to decline has finally come to her senses and left him.

Story continues below.

Pauly D spinning in Delco

"Jersey Shore" star Pauly D will be at The Deck (101 Taylor Ave.) in Essington on July 1. The party, by Q102 and Johnny Knockout Entertainment, features a two-hour set from Pauly D, aka Paul Delvecchio, showing off his DJ skills. Q102's Rocco hosts the party, which also features DJ Yan. Tickets are $10, or $20 for a VIP meet-and-greet beforehand. Tickets at DJPaulyD.ticketleap.com.

Vick's fiancee workin' the pole

Kijafa Frink, fiancee of Eagles quarterback Michael Vick, hosts the "Ultimate Pole Dance Experience" at Christine's Cabaret (6130 Passyunk) Saturday with the Nuvo Models. Tickets are $35 at blush.eventbrite.com.

Movie matters

"You'll Know My Name" is about to wrap shooting in South Jersey. The coming-of-age drama stars Joe Raffa, also writer/director, as a high school senior. The film takes place in one night and centers on a fight. Raffa, 20, a Timber Creek Regional High grad, acted in "The Dark Fields," which wrapped last month here, and the untitled James. L. Brooks film.

* "Red Corvette," written and directed by Frank Lisi, shot the other day at Recess (125 S. 2nd), the Old City nightclub. Boxing promoter Joey "Eye" Intrieri plays a club manager, and Man About Town Arthur Kade, who was recently nominated for Gawker Media's Douchebag of the Decade award, is also in the coming-of-age movie about two troubled girls. They will be more troubled after meeting Kade.

* The Wiggies, the singing group in the

upcoming film "Standing Ovation," will be outside Chickie's & Pete's (15th & Packer) at 9 a.m. tomorrow, along with cast members such as South Philly's Joei DeCarlo and South Jersey's Dexter Darden, Austin Powell, Mikey P. and Mikel Williams.
