Tonight’s highly anticipated screening of “The Artist” is the NB Film Fest’s film pick to win the Oscar’s Best Picture. Don’t miss the advance screening at 7 p.m. at the Regency Lido Theatre Newport Beach, followed by a Q&A with actor James Cromwell and actress Penelope Ann Miller. “The Artist,” set in 1927 Hollywood’s silent era, tells the story of silent movie star George Valentin who is unhappily confronting the new world of talking pictures and wonders if he will fade into oblivion. It’s a mix of comedy, romance and melodrama.
The film already garnered a Best Actor Award at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival and recently named Best Picture by the New York Critics Circle. The screening is open to Orange County Film Society members. OCFS memberships are currently available for $99. OCFS members receive exclusive invitations to eight film screenings, plus four tickets to the 2012 Newport Beach Film Festival (April 26-May 3). Non-OCFS members pay $30 per film.

Regency Lido Theatre is at 3459 Via Lido Drive in Newport Beach.
Hit Snooze in San Diego!
Breakfast fans heading south to San Diego can check out the new happy and energetic Snooze, an A.M. Eatery. The Colorado-based Snooze just opened its first SoCal location in the Hillcrest neighborhood in a prime spot at 5th Street.
Snooze is all about breakfast—morning through afternoon. Not to get you too hungry, but we recommend the breakfast pot pie with Snooze’s homemade rosemary sausage gravy poured on top of a flaky puff pastry, topped with an egg your style and hash browns or their upstream benny with honey smoked salmon on Snooze’s house-crafted bacon-jalapeno spoonbread topped with two farm fresh Niman Ranch poached eggs, cream cheese, hollandaise, and chives. Craving a sweet breakfast? Order signature pineapple upside down pancakes with caramelized pineapple chunks with homemade vanilla crème Anglaise and cinnamon butter. Midday options like the Havana day dreamin’ with free-range house pork, sliced ham, jack cheese, homemade pickles, and a sunny side egg with Dijon hollandaise served open face on an Udi Roll.
Snooze also offers drinks from lattes to liqueurs. Snooze is also doing its part for the community and sustainability by composting, recycling, using recyclable materials, and dedicate a percentage of each sale to the local community.
Open 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday; and 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
