Who says Mondays have to be blah, blah, blah? Monday nights at the Utica Zoo are fun, fun, fun. In fact, they've got something cool happening every Monday, from now until the end of summer.

Oscar Nominee Viggo Mortenson paid a visit to the place he grew up, Watertown, New York. While he was there, he visited his favorite local spots, and went virtually unrecognized.

If you had any doubt that a mobile game would make for a successful film, look no further than The Angry Birds Movie, which effortlessly claimed the top spot at the box office over the weekend. So it’s not particularly surprising that another popular mobile game is getting an animated film adaptation, this one based on the slice-happy Fruit Ninja series. Scoff if you must, but never underestimate the power of brand recognition.

Drive-In movies - they bring back a lot of summertime memories.

It might be getting a little more difficult for Jumanji loyalists to remain skeptical of the reboot. As if the casting of Dwayne Johnson weren’t enough for you, today brings word that Jack Black is in talks to join the cast, while it appears that Johnson’s Central Intelligence co-star Kevin Hart has officially signed on. If you aren’t even remotely enticed by the prospect of watching those three get into shenanigans with an assortment of various jungle animals, then I don’t know what could possibly make you feel joy.

Think of everything you know about Syracuse. If you were to describe it as a movie, what movie would it be?

Rome NY rolls out the welcome mat and is getting ready for the arrival of Hollywood. The feature film "Murder Hill' which is based on true events, starts production in May.

We've already taken on Utica, New Hartford, and other Central New York cities - Now we're on to Herkimer. If Herkimer were a movie, what movie would it be?

When will we stop?? It's another Central New York city as if they were a movie. This time our target is the town of New Hartford.

In news that shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone with a child in their life, Zootopia held on to the number one spot at the box office this weekend and made it look effortless. And yet, 10 Cloverfield Lane’s second place opening is nothing to scoff at, especially for a modestly budged, small-scale thriller (although the “Cloverfield” in the title certainly helped).

We're doing it again - another Central New York city as a movie. This time we're focusing on Rome.

After our fun with 'If Utica Were a Movie, It Would Be...' we decided to bring it back. This time we're focusing on the area of Ilion.
