We love the Brew & View. The combination of a cheap ticket, plentiful beer, a movie that's been around the block a few times, and a slaphappy audience willing to jeer whatever's showing can be lots of fun. We still have fond memories of Brew & View's screening of Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, which generated endless audience commentary on Angelina Jolie's lips ("Be careful, they'll swallow you alive!") more ›

Looking for something to get you over your hump day and on that nice downhill towards the weekend? Head over to the Brew & View tonight at the Vic for some beer, movies, and even your chance at a Snuggie. WGN DJ Nick Digilio will be hosting the festivities, which get under way at 7 p.m. when the doors open. Besides the snuggie giveaways, there will also be some Lou Malnati's giveaways as well. The best part? The films themselves. It's a fun doubleheader that starts off with Hot Fuzz at 8 p.m. and concludes with Die Hard at 10 p.m. And all this for only $5, which just goes to show you it's still possible to have fun in town on the cheap. more ›
