MOVIE: There is really nowhere else to be tonight, as it's the kick off to the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy's Movies With A View series. To start it all off, the 1986 classic coming-of-age tale, Stand By Me. "Is there any change more universally terrifying than puberty? Throw a dead body into the mix and see if you cope as well as Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman and Jerry O'Connell in this '80s favorite. Also starring Kiefer Sutherland." Watch out for that pie-eating contest scene.
6 to 11 p.m. // Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park // Free
MUSIC: The Seaside Summer Concert Series kicks off tonight with Michael Bolton, but save the trip to Brighton Beach for next week when Brian Wilson plays. Tonight head to Castle Clinton to catch St. Vincent. Don't miss this band, led by 25-year-old ex-hair model Annie Clark; she's currently working on her 2nd album and there's no news of any other upcoming shows in the area.
7 p.m. // Castle Clinton, Battery Park // Free
DRINK: Shmaltz Brewing Company, handcrafters for well over a decade of HE'BREW - The Chosen Beer, shows off its new line of sideshow-inspired Coney Island Craft Lagers and six of their HE'BREW Beers tonight. The "lineup" includes: Coney Island Lager, Albino Python and Sword Swallower, as well as two seasonal curiosities Human Blockhead and Freaktoberfest. Proceeds help Coney Island USA, an arts non-profit on a mission to defend the culture of historic Coney Island.
7 p.m. // Hop Devil Grille [129 St. Marks Place] // Cash bar
THEATER: Having bid the Brits Off Broadway festival adieu, 59E59 theaters are now hosting a slew of shows en route to the massive Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Tonight comedian Jeff Kreisler, a writer for Comedy Central's Indecision2008, satirically "dissects American politics." And James Judd's long-running solo show 7 Sins is a humorous, autobiographical account of how his accumulative transgressions informed his manic personality. The San Francisco Sentinel called it a "pot-boiler tour de force." – John Del Signore
7 p.m. & 9 p.m. // 59E59 [59 East 59th Street] // $15

I could go for some blueberry pie!
This was a great film, one of the only ones i own.
Chopper, sic ba!!s!
Indeed. Remember to bring some cherry pez and your comb.
22 years later, it's still a great movie. I watch it every summer.
Think about this: When the movie was released, it was set 27 years previous and felt like a very long time ago. We're now getting close to 27 years since the movie itself came out. By the way, Jerry O'Connell supposedly hates this movie because he was fat when he played Vern.
