Being new to the area, I need to find some things to do on the weekends – you know, when I actually down time to relax. Seize The Deal is definitely helping me on that front. Seriously! Here’s what I mean: I love football, Hockey, UFC, WWE, and pretty much any sport. I also like [...]

Dalton Castle — Wed, 02 Jan 2013 19:10:52 +0000

You’re one and only New Year’s resolution should be to see this party peacock in action. And to kick off the year 2013, if you live near Troy, NY, that resolution is very achievable. In December 2012 I finally had the opportunity to stay in the Albany area and wrestle. Now, on January 13th, 2013, [...]

BJ Ragone — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 11:36:09 +0000

Everyone always gets that feeling late on Sunday afternoons. The weekend is ending, and it’s back to grind. You thought you were alone? Think again. According to a new survey, 4:13pm on Sunday is the universal time that most people get depressed. Our fun weekend time is winding down, and we begin to start thinking [...]

Best Bars in the Albany Area

BJ Ragone — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 12:34:39 +0000

Everyone is always asking me where my favorite bar in the Albany area is. It's so hard to pick just one when this area has so many great places to hang out and grab a drink or even some pub grub. So instead of just picking just one, I have decided to give you my own list of personal favorites so you can set up a pub crawl and experience them all for yourselves.

It is a weekend for geeks all across this great nation. The final chapter in the Harry Potter saga hit’s theaters and you can bet that this nerd will be there to check it out. Put on your sorting hat and grab the Gryffindor scarf because it is time to watch a saga that began [...]

Weekend Box Office Fail

BJ Ragone — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 11:46:16 +0000

It was a pretty lukewarm weekend at the movies. Both a blockbuster and a family flick ended up losing. Not exactly what the movie studios were hoping for at the end of this weekend. I feel like both Warner Bros and 20th Century FOX hoped for a bigger reception for their movies that hit theaters. [...]

Green Lantern -BJ's Movie Pick

BJ Ragone — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 11:00:42 +0000

I know that people don’t have a whole lot of faith in this movie, but I am willing to give it chance since comic book movies as of late seem to be very well written. This weekend the net big comic book movie hits theaters, but critics are not being kind to this one. Previously, [...]

Local Bands Rock Albany Area This Weekend

BJ Ragone — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 12:06:12 +0000

Super 8 – BJ's Weekend Movie Pick

BJ Ragone — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 10:22:04 +0000

This weekend we get yet another mysterious movie from the mind of JJ Abrams, the man who brought us the TV series Lost and the movie Cloverfield. I am a total sucker for anything that has JJ Abrams name on it. He has a way of portraying a story on film that is really engaging. [...]

'Pirates' Top The Weekend Box Office

BJ Ragone — Mon, 23 May 2011 10:42:15 +0000

As expected, the latest Pirates of the Caribbean movie owned the box office this past weekend and even set an over seas record. Once again my movie pick has dominated the box office and it’s no big surprise that the latest chapter of the Pirates franchise has grossed a ton of money. With the money [...]

'Pirates' Four – BJ's Movie Pick

The weekend is here and we have a great new movie coming out in Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Captain Jack Sparrow is back and this time he is searching for the famed fountain of youth. I have been looking forward to this movie for a while now and can’t wait to go [...]

BJ's Movie Pick – Thor

BJ Ragone — Fri, 06 May 2011 11:05:53 +0000

I don’t think anyone is surprised that this is my movie pick this week. I have been looking forward to seeing “Thor” for a while, and it is finally here. May 6 is here and “Thor” is set to hit theaters. Million of comic book dorks like myself are heading to the theaters ASAP to [...]

BJ's Movie Pick Of The Week – Scream 4

BJ Ragone — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 12:30:03 +0000

This weekend will rekindle a movie series that most us thought was long dead. Scream 4 premiers in theaters this weekend. It’s been over a decade since that voice popped up and said ‘What’s your favorite scary movie?” but finally Scream 4 is here and this weekend is the big premiere. Neve Campbell is back [...]

Russell Brand Dominates The Box Office

BJ Ragone — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 10:15:58 +0000

Russell Brand was one of the fortunate actors to have two films in the theater this weekend and he escapes with both the gold and silver medals. Russell Brand is quickly becoming a very hot ticket in Hollywood. This weekend his movies finished up at number one and two, something an actor doesn’t get to [...]

Rivalry Renewed – Yankees Battle Red Sox This Weekend

BJ Ragone — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 11:49:31 +0000

There are some epic rivalries in professional sports and one of the best gets it’s 2011 debut starting today. Throughout the years there have been some fantastic sports rivalries. Celtics/Lakers, Notre Dame/USC, North Carolina/Duke and of course the New York Yankees and The Boston Red Sox. I think that it is arguably the greatest rivalry [...]

At The Movies This Weekend

BJ Ragone — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 12:30:16 +0000

One movie that I am curious to check out this weekend is the Zach Snyder directed Sucker Punch. I love going to the movies and hands down my favorite genre to see is action. It’s loud and exciting and every reason why I want to go spend outrageous money on a movie ticket. A pretty [...]
