Marcus Theatres has announced that it will open a third branch of Zaffiro's Pizzeria & Bar at the Ridge Cinema in New Berlin Friday, Aug. 3.

The new restaurant will seat 165 people and feature Zaffiro's trademark thin crust pizzas handmade to order, as well small-plate appetizers, fresh salads, a variety of pasta dishes, sandwiches and desserts. The restaurant will also have a full-service bar and delivery and carry-out service.

"A new item is homemade gelato," Bruce J. Olson, president of Marcus Theatres, said in a statement. "This frozen sweet treat will be offered in a variety of flavors and will be made daily at the restaurant."

A Zaffiro's Express service will also be added to the theater's concession area. For a preview of the New Berlin Zaffiro's menu, visit the website.

"Star Trek Into Darkness"

Published Friday, May 17

With all of that in place, it would seem the sequel`s phasers would be all set to stun. But something`s off. There`s a sequence where the starship Enterprise is flying at warp speed when a big, clunky-looking vessel comes up from behind and nudges it off its exhilarating track. That`s pretty much "Star Trek Into Darkness" in a nutshell, except replace the big, clumsy vessel with a big, clumsy story.

Whitefish Bay eats

Whitefish Bay is suddenly the place to be when it comes to new places to dine.

Collaborative Cinema film

Published Wednesday, May 15

Michael Viers is a horror movie junkie, but his upcoming project, "Love You Still," is less boogeyman and more "Old Man and the Sea." The most shocking part, however, is that the story - a tale of an old fisherman reflecting back on his life - comes courtesy of a junior in high school. It may seem like a strange combination, but for Milwaukee Film and their Collaborative Cinema educational program, it`s just another exciting year of locally-bred film and hopefully a sign of more to come.

Split that entree!

Published Tuesday, May 14

There`s been a lot of travel in our family since March, which means the fridge is more of a barren cavern than stocked with it`s usual bounty of healthy fare. So, by default and out of admitted laziness, we`ve been enjoying more meals "out," than are typical for us. So, how are we avoiding the major ouch in our pocketbook and around our waistlines? Well, we`re splitting entrees.

Five college movies

Published Tuesday, May 14

After four years, several all-nighters and an embarrassing amount of ramen, Hot Pockets and Dr. Pepper for dinner, I - alongside thousands of others across the country - am finally making the triumphant walk across the graduation stage from childhood to adulthood, snagging a diploma along the way. If I ever get nostalgic for the university lifestyle, however, I can pop in one of these great college movies.

"The Great Gatsby"

Published Friday, May 10

Now there`s Baz Luhrmann`s rendition of F. Scott Fitzgerald`s "The Great Gatsby," done up as the big, loud extravagant 3-D summer blockbuster I doubt Fitzgerald had in mind when he wrote his time-honored critique of the vapid lifestyles of the rich and the growing emptiness of the American dream. The end result feels a bit too much like one of Gatsby`s parties: a whole lot of razzle dazzle with a hollow emotional core.

Filippo's

Published Wednesday, May 8

Filippo`s Italian Restaurant, 6915 W. Lincoln Ave., is one of the many pizzerias on Lincoln Avenue that I`ve alluded to in past blogs. Several people have been asking when I was going to visit Filippo`s, so I stopped in on a slow night to try the sausage, mushroom and onion on thin crust and a sausage and pepperoni on the regular hand-tossed pizza.

Five books turned movies

Published Tuesday, May 7

"Moulin Rouge" director Baz Luhrmann is the latest to attempt to cash in on classic literature with his slick, shiny 3-D rendition of "The Great Gatsby," coming out Friday. Before we see how Luhrmann`s second attempt at working with legendary source material goes, let`s take a peek at five other films that boldly attempted to abolish the phrase, "the book is always better than the movie," out of audience`s minds.

"Iron Man 3"

Published Friday, May 3

The first question I had walking out of "The Avengers" last summer was, "How freaking awesome was that?" The second question - a bit more difficult to answer - was, "How is any comic book superhero movie ever going to be able to compete with that?" Pretty easily, as it turns out. "Iron Man 3" may not fly as high as its star-studded combo platter predecessor, but it still makes for a great start to the summer.
