We need your help.
Newspapers and media companies nationwide are closing or suffering mass layoffs since the coronavirus impacted all of us starting in March. City Weekly's entire existence is directly tied to people getting together in groups--in clubs, restaurants, and at concerts and events--which are the industries most affected by new coronavirus regulations.
Our industry is not healthy. Yet, City Weekly has continued publishing thanks to the generosity of readers like you. Utah needs independent journalism more than ever, and we're asking for your continued support of our editorial voice. We are fighting for you and all the people and businesses hardest hit by this pandemic.
You can help by making a one-time or recurring donation on PressBackers.com, which directs you to our Galena Fund 501(c)(3) non-profit, a resource dedicated to help fund local journalism. It is never too late. It is never too little. Thank you.

DVDArmy Wives: Season 1
Relive all the D-R-A-M-A of the first season of Army Wives, the first Lifetime series to break the suck barrier with good acting, believable (well, mostly) storylines and—finally!—a steady TV gig for Kim Delaney. It’s like Desperate Housewives, only less annoying. LifetimeTV.com
Finish Line
Imagine The Fast & The Furious with a NASCAR angle, an illegal arms-trading subplot and Scott freakin’ Baio (!) as the cigar-chompin’ millionaire crime boss running the whole show! Need I even mention the young driver working as an FBI mole and boinking the boss’ hot daughter? RHITV.com
Funny Games
Michael Haneke re-brings the ultra-violence in a remake of his 1997 Australian psychological thriller, now starring Naomi Watts and Tim Roth as a couple tortured by yuppie pricks (really, who hasn’t been?). There’s also a Deep Message about violence as entertainment. Sorry. WarnerBros.com
The Other Boleyn Girl
Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman (and Eric Bana … zzz … oh, dozed off) star in the umpteenth retelling of King Henry VIII’s historical threesome, with lush cinematography, lush costumes and lush bosoms heaving out of same. Sony.com
Witless Protection
The Oscar-snubbed tour de force starring Larry the Cable Guy (as a redneck sheriff!) and Jenny McCarthy (as … a brunette!) inadvertently involved in FBI intrigue and metropolitan high society. If you see only one sleeveless comedy this year, make it Witless Protection! Ouch … Lionsgate.com

7th Heaven: Season 6, The Boondocks: Season 2, The Bucket List, City of Vice, Hawaii Five-O: Season 4, John Adams, Jumper, My Boys: Season 1, The Odd Couple: Season 4, Sidekick
