How many of y’all have managed to grab tickets for the O’s opening day? Oh, not very many. I feel you. But how about going to see 42, a movie about the legendary Jackie Robinson instead? Yeah, I think that’s an awesome instead-of option too.

Here’s the synopsis from the studio:

Hero is a word we hear often in sports, but heroism is not always about achievements on the field of play. “42” tells the story of two men—the great Jackie Robinson and legendary Brooklyn Dodgers GM Branch Rickey—whose brave stand against prejudice forever changed the world by changing the game of baseball.

In 1946, Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford) put himself at the forefront of history when he signed Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) to the team, breaking Major League Baseball’s infamous color line. But the deal also put both Robinson and Rickey in the firing line of the public, the press and even other players. Facing unabashed racism from every side, Robinson was forced to demonstrate tremendous courage and restraint by not reacting in kind, knowing that any incident could destroy his and Rickey’s hopes. Instead, Number 42 let his talent on the field do the talking—ultimately winning over fans and his teammates, silencing his critics, and paving the way for others to follow.

In 1997, Major League Baseball retired the number 42 for all teams, making it the first number in sports to be universally retired. The only exception is April 15th—Jackie Robinson Day—commemorating the date of his first game as a Brooklyn Dodger. On that day alone, players from every team proudly wear Number 42 to honor the man who altered the course of history.

Ahh, drinking.  As adults we take the ol’ bottle, glass or shot for granted.  It’s always there, whenever you’d like one.  But for folks on the other side of The 21st Birthday, the golden key to a real I.D. is a time for celebration.  Joyous song.  Running around in a pink bikini with a teddy bear strapped to your junk.  Sound familiar?  Well, re-live it (or drool over your own expectations) with 21 And Over!

The synopsis:

Straight-A college student Jeff Chang has always done what’s expected of him. But when his two best friends Casey and Miller surprise him with a visit for his 21st birthday, he decides to do the unexpected for a change, even though his critical medical school interview is early the next morning. What was supposed to be one beer becomes one night of chaos, over indulgence and utter debauchery in this outrageous comedy.

Have you seen the trailer yet?  It’s kinda awesome.  So you wanna see it, and see it for free?  Sure you do; more beer money in your pocket for later, Amirite?

Here’s how….
