The middle of July is just within reach, marking the second half of the summer. Time moves by fast, doesn’t it? Unfortunately for us in Chicago, it didn’t truly feel like summer up until a few weeks ago. Let’s try to make the best of the time remaining and enjoy the sun before we’re back in hoodies and jeans. This past week at Ruby Hornet featured a lot of great content, including my Top 10 Robot Movies list, the trailer for Spike Lee’s remake of Oldboy, my review of Pacific Rim (go see it!), Treated Crew’s Million $ Mano’s remix of Kanye’s “Hold My Liquor,” Deltron 3030’s return with “Stardate,” the full Fun Fun Fun Fest lineup, a behind the scenes look at Lili K’s My Favorite Things, a photographic look at Syrian refugees, and more!
