"Sixteen Candles" lights up AMC Theatres for Valentine's Day
Valentine’s Day has become an event that has grown to be very stressful. In an attempt to save those who have not planned an extravagant night out for their significant other, AMC Theatres is rereleasing the ’80s teen classic “Sixteen Candles” Sunday and Monday at 7 p.m.
Playing at the AMC Century City 15, located in the Westfield Century City Mall, this movie will be a step above the normal dinner-and-a-movie date night. The film follows Molly Ringwald, who plays Samantha Baker, on her 16th birthday, as she tries to get the attention of the popular school senior and make her birthday a memorable one.

The lighting in the entrance room was dim, and with just a few steps into the main hall, a woman stood illuminated by a solitary spotlight.
Q&A with Coby Getzug, who plays Moritz in upcoming performance of 'Spring Awakening' at Pantages Theatre
The Daily Bruin interviewed Coby Getzug, who is playing the role of Moritz in ‘Spring Awakening’ at the Pantages Theatre through Feb. 13.
Daily Bruin: How did you get started in this business?
Coby Getzug: I always loved to do theater when I was a kid, and when I got to high school, I applied and got into L.A. County High School for the Arts. So I went there for high school. I was a theater major and so, at that school, it was kind of like a college conservatory. So we had academic classes every morning and then every afternoon, we had our arts classes. So I had five theater classes that rotated throughout the week. So that was basically my start. I never really did this professionally until I was about a junior in high school and then I got cast in the Broadway revival of “Brighton Beach Memoirs” by Neil Simon. So my first semester of my senior year, I was actually in New York City. I went to high school there, and I understudied that show. Then I came back and finished my senior year at LACHSA. Over the summer, I did “The Lieutenant of Inishmore” at Mark Taper Forum, and then I got cast in “Spring Awakening” and left in September to do that.
DB: So it’s only been a couple of years and you’re already in “Spring Awakening?”
CG: Yeah, it’s been really crazy. Actually, I was planning on going to UCLA this year and then I accepted and got cast in “Spring Awakening” two or three weeks later. So, that didn’t work out. But I was planning on attending UCLA this year.
Move over, Venti, the Trenta is in town
The new Starbuck’s size, the trenta, compared to the grande. Starbucks drinks now come in four sizes.
It’s here. The proverbial two notes from the soundtrack of “Jaws” could almost be heard in the distant background. I walked up to the counter, the room fell silent, and the seemingly pleasant girl in the green cap smiled and said, “Hi, would you like to make your order a Trenta today?”
