Reservoir Dogs bites David Young staff writer When the Erie Roadhouse Theatre’s production of Reservoir Dogs let out, one could hear con tradicting opinions from the crowd. I thought it was really, really good,” proclaimed one woman walking out of the theatre. “Well it killed a couple of hours anyway,” replied her husband. However, it seemed like there really wasn’t a majority opinion about the show. So, you’re either going to have to go on instinct or take my word for it. Reservoir Dogs was adapted from the 1992 Quentin Tarantino Fox and atmosphere, good food and liquor By R.B. Burlingame staff writer The newest pub in our fair city is quite impressive. The Fox and Hound opened one month ago in the Millcreek Mall beside Lenscrafters. It boasts thirty-four beers on tap, and has over one hundred different beers to choose from in all. The list in cludes beer from Murphy’s Irish Stout, to Pretzel City Belgian White. There is a very pleasant room, the Green Room, set aside for cigar smokers, and the Fox and Hound’s cigar selection is unmatched by any Needed to work on an as needed basis in private educational facility with typical children & children with developmental disabilities, 3-21 years of age.

Mob boss Joe Cabot, played by Flo Fabrizio, needs seven guys to pull off a big diamond heist. Cabot makes the mistake of not checking out his rob bers carefully enough, and one of them turns out to be an undercover cop. Obviously this complicates things. Reservoir Dogs is not a show you would want to take your mother to. If the plot sound interesting, you’ll probably like the show be cause of the comedy involved. Fabrizio plays a funny character and does a great job. Mr. Pink, played by Mark Gardner, is also one of the bright spots in the play, delivering some funny lines. Aside from the humorous script and a few talented Hound combines other bar in Erie. Their small batch bourbons and whiskeys are incred ible, probably the best in Erie. The atmosphere was very pleasant, the bar is custom cut and quite beautiful, as is the woodwork. With twenty-eight televisions, customers will most likely be able to watch anything they want. The billiard tables are full-size, and are rented by the hour. As for the menu, there is quite a selection of appetizers. I had the Spanish artichoke heart dip with the Fox and Hound’s own homemade chips, which was excellent.

Reservoir Dogs has such a funny script that the actors should have the audience laughing throughout the play, but they don’t. Some of the lines were choppy, which is unexpected in a theater like The Roadhouse. Also, the show starts at the bank robbery, and then goes back in time to show the events leading up to the heist. This is a real tough task to accomplish on stage, allowing the audience to be come confused. All in all I give the script four stars, but the play two. I definitely recommend the movie before the play. Shrimp, an exceptional pasta dish. The unique blend of marinara, vodka and cheese was so good that I’m sure to order the same on my next visit. The only dissapointing aspect of my visit was that there were no steaks available. Due to a franchise agree ment, the pub cannot sell steaks for a year or so, and subsequently the wine list is nonexistent until the menu is expanded to include steaks. All in all, the Fox and Hound is one of the best bars in Erie. down Also not Be ill 63 65 66 Welfare hotel abbr. Took a chair Features RESERVOIR Wl*lf!
