After last year’s sleeper sensation, Beasts of the Southern Wild, we get another soggy setting for a lesser, but still worthy, coming-of-age drama that’s more about specific characters than a subculture. Here, a couple of teen boys, Ellis and "Neckbone" (one of the coolest nicknames in movie history) find a guy (Matthew McConaughey) hiding on an island in the sleepy backwaters near their small …

Jurassic Park 3-D Mark Glass, Patch blogger: **** Twenty years ago, Steven Spielberg added to his impressive list of WOW! movies, thrilling, scaring and fascinating the world with this sci-fi epic of cloned dinosaurs running amok at an island theme park. Now hordes of computer geeks have pounced upon the Master's master print, upgrading it with current 3-D technology to fine effect. Not only does the original story hold up, but the basic question of whether our collective wisdom is keeping pace with the rapid pace of scientific advances to …

There are many methods to create and design colored, hard-boiled Easter eggs. Which way did you choose this year? Please participate in this quick Patch poll regarding current egg-related works of art.
Coloring hard-boiled Easter eggs used to be accomplished from boiling grasses and vegetation, into which eggs were dipped. In more modern decades, people saved up empty peanut-butter jars and dropped in fizzy color tablets to dye eggs, one treasure at a time. It was mesmerizing to watch the Alka-Seltzer-like color show. Remember all the color drips down onto newspapers? And splatters as we dunked eggs in and out of the liquid magic? Anyone ruin any clothing while preparing Easter eggs? Manufacturers now offer no-spill Easter eggs kits, such as the one offered in local Dierbergs supermarkets. Some consumers have devised natural ways to prepare eggs for this season. Each year at this time, I vividly remember the year I just missed the Easter…

"There's so much happening in the arts in Webster." That was Town and Country resident Maria Gianino's conclusion as managing director of the new Webster House Galleries. After naming a slew of Webster Groves art events and describing how the arts enrich the Webster community, Gianino shared ways she hopes Webster House Galleries can add to that trend. (For instant news updates follow Patch on Facebook and Twitter.) Which, Gianino said, is where the idea for Webster House Galleries started. The two homes at 7522-7526 Big Bend Boulevard in Webster Groves, zoned for commercial use, are both owned by Gianino. When the homes became vacant at about the same time, Gianino said filling the mid-market niche in the art world of Webster became …

The Waiting Room Mark Glass, Patch blogger: *** Anyone who claims the United States’ healthcare system is OK probably has employer-paid insurance, and a primary-care doc on speed dial. Unfortunately, millions have less-to-no coverage and, therefore, little access to needed services. For an appalling number of our compatriots, emergency rooms are their only recourse, leading to huge crowds and long waits in those facilities. This matter-of-fact documentary …
