Here is a list of fun things to do in the Triangle this Easter weekend!

March 21- March 23, 2008


>>MOVIES

DRILLBIT TAYLOR (PG-13)
Cast: Owen Wilson, Leslie Mann, Danny R. McBride, Josh Peck, David Dorfman

Ryan, Wade and Emmit attend their first day at high school, and they're pumped until they meet up with Filkins, a school bully who comes off like a little Hannibal Lecter. Before they become completely engulfed in Filkins' reign of terror, they seek out some protection by placing an ad in Soldier of Fortune magazine. Their best response and the cheapest comes from Drillbit Taylor (Owen Wilson), a down-on-his-luck soldier of fortune who lives a homeless--he likes to say home-free--existence on the beach. He enrolls them in some physical and mental training.
