I don't have any deep affection for Madonna, but I'd go to her concert if I had a deep discount for tickets. I imagine it'd be an entertaining show.
Speaking of entertaining shows, the Memorial Day weekend movie schedule looks bleak. I've seen Van Helsing (don't waste your money) and Shrek 2 (spend your money). I know without seeing the movie that the book is better than the movie Troy. I keep thinking that they've already made The Day After Tomorrow in another 20 or 30 forms. I have no interest in Raising Helen or New York Minute. Soul Plane looks like one of those movies where all of the funny parts made the trailer and the rest of the movie just sucks. Maybe Mean Girls will tie me over. But if this is what the summer blockbuster season is going to be like, fast forward me to the Oscar pandering season.
More entertaining show news:
