TheBlaze Presents Glenn Beck's Unelectable 2012 Live on Sept. 20 & 25

You can’t help but hear about Glenn Beck these days with his bestselling books, popular TV show, and nationally syndicated talk-radio show.  But why wouldn’t such a celebrated man with so much knowledge in politics run for office?  He’s unelectable!  

 When you tell it like it is, you’re sure to lose a few supporters every now and then.  Still makes for a great show though!  What does he have to say about current political issues and candidates?  Come find out and see what all the buzz about Beck is about at Glenn Beck’s Unelectable II Live on September 20 and a second showing on September 25 at your local Digiplex theater.

Cut Poison Burn Playing at Digiplex Theaters on Sept. 21

Why isn’t the FDA approving them?  Follow the lives of the Navarro Family, struggling to keep their son with cancer alive, and learn about what is being done and what you can do to loosen the FDA’s vise-like grip on treatment options at Cut Poison Burn. Playing on from Friday, September 21st to Thursday, September 26, 2012 at your local Digiplex location in NJ, CT and PA.

DigiNext Series Starting on 09/21/12 at your local Digiplex Theater

At Digiplex Destinations, reinventing cinema means bringing entertainment to a whole new level-whether through the inspiring spectacle of a live opera or magic experience of a digitally remastered Hollywood classic like Singin’ in the Rain or Lawrence of Arabia. 

Now we are pleased to announce the launch of DigiNext, a curated series of independent films fresh from festivals around the world and now at your local Digiplex Destination. The selected films include edgy comedies, provocative dramas and insightful documentaries that bring something unique to your local cinema- Movies that Change You.

Here is the list of features for our first series:

 

09/21/12 Cut Poison Burn 

 The story centers on the Navarros, a family struggling to keep their young son alive. The war between the Navarro Family and the FDA is perhaps this country’s greatest evidence as to why there should be medical freedom. As the personal meets the political, we see how the FDA holds a vise-like grip on treatment options. Heart-wrenching and informative, the film ultimately expresses the hope that we can create a new paradigm of prevention, medical freedom and acceptance of highly-tailored therapies to usher in a more enlightened era.

10/19/12 The Standbys

Every night on Broadway, dozens of the best performers aren’t on stage. They are backstage, standing by, ready to go on at a moment’s notice. The unique and challenging lives of Broadway’s Understudies and Standbys are revealed in this evocative and original behind-the-scenes documentary.

11/09/12 Chloe and Keith’s Wedding

Chloe & Keith’s Wedding is a heartfelt and hilarious, indie romantic-comedy that captures all of the fun, frolicking and hijinks of one of the craziest weddings ever. Completely scripted, the film cleverly captures the story of Jordan, the clumsy best man, and Sarah, a bridesmaid who also happens to be his ex-girlfriend as told through the “found footage” shot by the wedding videographers and the guests themselves using video flip cameras. This hilarious and touching indie film is truly groundbreaking as it was the first to use a viral video to solely market the film.

01/25/12 Standing Silent

Phil Jacobs, editor of the Washington Jewish Post, has begun writing and publishing a series of articles about sexual abuse in the Orthodox Jewish community. He has found what he believes to be clear evidence that several respected rabbis have been able to avoid arrest and recrimination due to the control they wield over the community. Fear blankets the orthodox community, creating an impenetrable wall of silence impossible to break through.

02/22/12 Taiwan Oyster

Shot on location in Taiwan, The Taiwan Oyster tells the story of Darin and Simon, two American ex-‐patriots who steal the corpse of a fallen countryman and embark on a quixotic road trip through the Taiwanese countryside in search of a suitable burial place for a person they barely knew. Taiwan in the year 2000, only thirteen years after the lifting of Marshall Law rule and still an unruly place referred to by many as the “Wild, Wild East,” provides a perfect setting for The Taiwan Oyster.

Happiest Baby and Happiest Toddler Live With Dr. Karp

Moms and dads, parents of infants and toddlers – even grandparents, nurses and nannies – will want to visit their local Digiplex digital cinema to watch America’s favorite pediatrician, Dr. Harvey Karp, reveal the surprising tips and tricks that have made his celebrated books and DVDs among the top parenting guides in history.

            The live one night event will be hosted by former Miss USA Ali Landry at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, June 21 at the Digiplex Rialto Theater in Westfield, N.J., and Digiplex Bloomfield 8 theater in Bloomfield, Conn. Ticket prices are $12.50. Check here for details.

Dr. Karp uses modern science and folk wisdom to help new families get the rest they need, and raise happy, patient, cooperative children. This live presentation will bring to life teachings from Dr. Karp’s books The Happiest Baby on the Block and The Happiest Toddler on the Block. Audiences will enjoy live demonstrations, watch footage of parents in action, learn simple solutions to help them raise happy, well-behaved young children – and get more sleep.

“Even loving parents can feel pushed to the limit by their baby’s screams or by toddler explosions,” said Dr. Karp. “But some simple steps give parents the tools to calm even colicky babies, soothe tantrums fast and boost cooperation in just days. You almost feel like you’re ‘flipping a switch.’”

            

Adds A. Dale “Bud” Mayo, Digiplex Destinations chairman/CEO, “This special event is a perfect complement to our Wednesday afternoon ‘Mommy & Me’ film screenings where parents and caregivers can come with young children and not worry about harsh looks if their children get fidgety – the lights are brighter, the sound is a bit lower during these special performances. 

            “We started this at the Digiplex Rialto Westfield and will expand ‘Mommy & Me’ to our other locations this fall,” Mayo said. 

            The Digiplex Bloomfield 8 Theater is located at 863 Park Avenue (Wintonbury Mall), Bloomfield, Conn., and the Digiplex Rialto Theater is located at 250 East Broad Street in Westfield, N.J.  Click here for more information.
