Gloria Trevi @ Congress Theater |
2135 N. Milwaukee Ave.; Logan Square | |
$30 for 2. 9pm. Oh Gloria, she's like our version of Britney, and sometimes hasta Paris Hilton--scandal just has a way of crawling into her life, yet we don't get sick of her (unlike the Anglo counterparts, yuck!) We can't wait to wear our best 80s hair and dance to "Voy a traer el pelo suellllto" and newbies like "Todos Me Miran" which are just as good.

Sangre de Mi Sangre @ Music Box Theatre |
3733 N Southport Ave.; Lakeview | |
$9.25. Time varies. This riveting debut film by director Christopher Zalla takes us on a journey with two Mexican immigrants on the way to the Big Apple. Pedro (Jorge Adrian Espindola) is hoping to connect with a father he's never met, but violence ensues when Juan (Armando Hernandez), a man he meets while making the trip, steals his identity. The winner of the 2007 Best Film award at Sundance also finds Eugenio Derbez (La Misma Luna) in another surprisingly great supporting role.
