1) 5 Flights Up – A very New York love story/comedy starring Diane Keaton and Morgan Freeman as a longtime married couple who, no longer able to bound up the eponymous stairs to their Brooklyn apartment as they did in their limber youth start looking around for a new place to live. House hunting in the Big Apple is a horror movie to begin with – toss in Cynthia Nixon as a prototypical hard-driving realtor, a sick dog, a possible terrorist plot and, well, as Cindy Adams used to say “Only in New York, kids.” Check Fandango for screens and times.

2) The D Train — Poor Dan Landsman … all his life he’s been a nobody. He’s got a boring job, not a whole lot of friends and winds up in charge of putting together his high school reunion. Quickly realizing that attendance is going to be dismally low, Dan develops a plan! A former classmate, Oliver Lawless, is now a TV commercial actor and Dan is certain that if Oliver shows up everyone else will, too. The problem – how to get Oliver there. A qualified success at this year’s Sundance Festival, the film stars Jack Black and James Marsden … and has a soon-to-be-talked about plot twist which I don’t dare mention. Check Fandango for screens and times.

3) It’s Global Mondays at Cappy’s Cafe in Shadyside with imported bottled beers for only $3. While there, team up an import with a bowl of their scrumptious chili. 5431 Walnut St.
