THE BEST OF SUMMER: HP VII, PART 2 - HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS by Mark Share
HP VII, part 2 premiered in Los Angeles at a benefit for our closest equivalent to Hogwarts, Harvard-Westlake school, which held a screening Tuesday evening July 12 at the darkly deco theater at Warner Brothers.

TOUR OF PORTUGAL DINNER AT NATAS PASTRIES
by Abby Abanes
I first heard about Natas Pastries 4 years ago as being the only Portuguese Bakery in town. That intrigued me so much that I set up a Pastry Tasting with them for my dining group. Jump forward a few years later and Natas Pastries expanded their bakery to include a full-blown Portuguese restaurant.

A MIDSUMMER MUST-READ STEPHEN MARCHE'S "HOW SHAKESPEARE CHANGED EVERYTHING" by M.R. Hunter
As the temperatures rise, so too do the number of Shakespeare productions. Take for instance, Theatricum Botanicum's annual staging of A Midsummer Night's Dream along with this year's The Merry Wives of Windsor and Richard III. There's also Shakespeare by the Sea, the Independent Shakespeare Company's free Griffith Park Festival, and the Troubadour's outrageous Fleetwood Macbeth just to name a few. It seems the Bard is best served when hot and Esquire columnist Stephen Marche's concise but impassioned study on "How Shakespeare Changed Everything" ignites interest and debate on the magnitude of Shakespeare's influence nearly 400 years after his death...
