Many chefs from iconic Los Angeles restaurants were there as part of Beastly Ball 2015 for the special Feast for the Media with dishes inspired by all LA Zoo baby animals such hippos, chimps, otters, koalas, kangaroos and more.
These same restaurants donate their cuisine for guests for this event, which is the main fund-raiser held by GLAZA, a private, non-profit organization that raises money for the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens.
This idea was for the Master Plan habitat which is designed for specific needs and natural behavior of the species, incorporating state-of-the-art design and technology to provide superior living spaces for the animals, maximize safety and keeper management and accommodate changes in zoo populations, including births. Definitely, an excellent spot to take the family or your special someone to check out domestic and exotic animals of all shapes and sizes.

San Rafael-based Alcohol Justice and Studio City-based Writers In Treatment announced today that Nicole Boxer will be appearing at the screening of her feature-length documentary How I Got Over at the Smith Rafael Film Center in San Rafael.
The film follows 15 formerly homeless women as they craft an original play, based on their harrowing true-life stories, to be performed one-night-only at The Kennedy Center. Guided by teachers from the Theatre Lab School of the Dramatic Arts, the women of N Street Village – a community for addiction recovery – discover their untapped artistic talents and reckon with their traumatic histories. Sharing their pasts to release the potential in their futures, the emboldened women take the stage before a packed house, illuminating the transformative power of arts education.
“I made this film because I believe a connective power exists between a filmmaker and a subject, and between one who is willing to testify and one who bears witness—and I want to see how much farther that connection can go to make positive change in the world,” Boxer has stated.“What I did not foresee when I began filming HOW I GOT OVER is how much I have in common with the ladies of N Street, despite our surface disparities. Our stories are now forever entwined.”
There will be a special Tribute to Robin Williams on Sunday morning June 14, 2015, at the Smith Rafael Film Center in San Rafael, with a screening of Patch Adams.

Bay Area comedian Johnny Steele, a good friend of the late Williams, will introduce the session.

The best world-beaters are in “Spy”

Spy is the new film of Susan Cooper (Melissa McCarthy) is an unassuming, deskbound CIA analyst, and the unsung hero behind the Agency’s most dangerous missions. But when her partner (Jude Law) falls off the grid and another top agent Rick Ford (Jason Statham) is compromised, she volunteers to go deep undercover to infiltrate the world of a deadly arms dealer, and prevent a global disaster. This film was written and directed by Paul Feig.
During 1hr 19 min. Melissa McCarthy’s performance is one of the best. On the contrary, Statham is rarely stands out into his comedic potential. However, the good direction, jokes and the well developed physical comedy makes this is more on par with The Heat.
Most people begin to like the idea that this comedy is very well made from an over weighted -lady jokes combined with two elements that makes successfully a film because this one has comedy and action.
Definitely, Spy is highly recommended for its memorable supporting characters and funny contrast of personalities of Susan Cooper (Melissa McCarthy) and Rick Ford (Jason Statham) as the moody and hyper-masculine action tough guy.
