Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum star in 21 Jump Street, a movie version of the late 80′s tv show. Like Starsky & Hutch, the producers of this film have decided to take a serious tv show and turn it into a comedy and in some ways a parody of itself.

The gimmick of this film is very poorly explained in the commercials. Here’s how it works : The entire movie – all 85 minutes of it minus the credits – were filmed in one continuous take. The camera never stops rolling.

Act of Valor is a unique movie in that it stars active-duty Navy SEALs in the cast. The film is scripted and fictional but inspired by true events.
Share on FacebookWe were listening to Rush one night and it reminded us that we hadn’t been to the new Tom Sawyer Diner yet. We had been there before a devastating fire had razed the entire former building and knew it had been rebuilt so we decided to head over to Paramus and check out what had changed.
It’s changed for the better. Don’t get me wrong, it was good before, too. But, they’ve transformed a regular diner into a place where you could take a date (and still get a good diner burger)!
The burgers were fresh, juicy and piled high with great toppings. We tried the Roy Rogers burger which comes with bacon, frizzled onions, BBQ sauce and cheddar cheese. It came with great fries and left nothing to be desired when looking for a Jersey-diner-type burger. Nice!

This is like Deja Vu but not. 5 years ago a movie called Ghost rider was released starring Nicholas cage on the lead role. It was fairly successful and there were talks of a sequel. This is not that sequel.
Share on FacebookWhen a Mexican restaurant, called Tia Maria, closed on Broad Street in Bloomfield it made this strip of road slightly less perfect. Broad Street still had its diner and ice cream classic Holsten’s, a pizza place, bagel shop, sushi and chinese, a deli and Italian and Greek restaurants. When Taqueria Autentica decided to come in from the cold and park their taco truck on Broad Street with a brick and mortar store, the stars were brought into alignment again and all was right with this North Bloomfield dining area.
We had been swooning over their fresh, artisanal tacos for quite a while at the Montclair Farmers Market and in Newark where they parked their truck over the last few years. But, now we don’t have to go running around to wherever they’ve parked. We can visit any time we want! (except Monday, OK they’re not open on Monday, we can accept this…)
Taqueria Autentica brings in corn tortillas from Tortilleria Nixtamal, in NYC, which are made from fresh masa & contain no preservatives. They use locally raised, hormone & antibiotic free chicken from Goffle Road Farms in Wyckoff. Their house-made chorizo has no preservatives or unnatural ingredients. Did you read that? House. Made. Chorizo. Are you ready to head to Bloomfield yet? Plus, they have USDA Prime skirt steak, all natural pork and source local, organic produce and dairy when possible.
You simply have to go if you love tacos and tortas. I haven’t even told you about the tortas, yet!

Star Wars : Episode I – The Phantom Menace opens today newly remastered in 3D. The original 3 Star Wars movies came out in 1977, 1980 & 1983. Since George Lucas had said in multiple interviews that he had 9 parts already written, everyone expected the next film to come out in 1986 following the 3 year schedule that had been established. By the time 1989 rolled around people realized that they may never see another Star Wars movie again.

The Stone Horse took over their spot on Belleville Ave and have stepped it up a few notches. Looking for a new place to watch the game in Essex County? This is the place.
