No living man but Jay-Z could get a sold out Boston arena so excited about New York City. But for two hours last night, the sold out crowd at the Garden was in an Empire State of Mind, as “The Blueprint 3” tour rolled into town.

A ‘Fly’ new play at the Huntington

The magic of live theater has never been more evident than in the Huntington’s production of “Stick Fly.” In lesser hands, playwright Lydia Diamond’s tale of familial dysfunction could easily be pedestrian, but director Kenny Leon finds everything that’s good about it and encourages his talented cast to run with it.

Nothing hurts young love like a creepy neighbor.

Pattinson: A vampire in Brooklyn

Robert Pattinson has been playing Americans so often that he has forgotten how to talk like a Brit. In his latest, “Remember Me,” the “Twilight” heartthrob stars as a soulful young New Yorker attending NYU, but he insists he didn’t need any help sounding like a native. “I’ve never had a dialect coach or anything,” Pattinson says. “Ironically, I’ve only had a dialect coach for this film I’m doing now, which I’m doing in an English accent. I guess I’ve forgotten how to do an English accent.”

Seeing behind the scenes

If you’re serious about your Boston movies, it won’t be a spoiler to mention the scene in “The Departed” where Martin Sheen falls off the roof to his death. We need to mention it because that building is just one of the stops on Boston Movie Tours, which you can take as a guided walk or bus ride around the city.

Movie can’t make it past minor ‘League’

REVIEW. Lame Hollywood romantic comedies love women; they just don’t like to identify them by name. We’ve seen “She’s All That,” “She’s Out of Control,” “She’s the Man” and “She’s the One” in our local cineplexes. If you remember the plot of one of them, gold star for you.

Just say ‘I don’t’

REVIEW. After years of playing an Ugly Betty, it’s understandable that the lovely America Ferrera succumbed to the all-consuming power of a princess bridal gown. For that, we will forgive her for “Our Family Wedding.”
