A collection of movie reviews and opinions from Marsha Gordon. Gordon is President/CEO of The Business Council of Westchester.

Most of the time, her husband Eli is with her… except if it is football season or if it is a very slow, sappy movie.

When Pink Talking Fish took the stage on Saturday night, the crowd at the Capitol Theatre was already primed for a night of raucous entertainment. From the stilt-walker and balloon twister in the lobby to the acrobats and clowns on stage, it was clear that it would be far from standard concert fare. Joined by Ringmaster Greg Ormont of Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, the band played a three and half hour set that included a nod to Bowie, multiple aerial performances and a constant stream of dynamic vignettes.
