Ian Murdock Special to the Village News In an era where suspense and thriller films often fall into the category of "same old same old", The Accountant, most certainly, belongs in a superior space. Though clearly not Oscar material – at least not by my estimation – the story examines the life of an autistic individual, and the extraordinary abilities he has. With a star studded cast – including Ben Affleck, Anna Kendrick, J. K. Simmons, Jon Lithgow and several others – the...

Tonino Restaurant & Wine Bar is a fragrant cauldron stewing with aromas that stir the senses. The food and scents will definitely lure you to this Murrieta establishment, but the unique ambiance might keep you there for a while. A long while. It’s a dining adventure similar to what I have experienced in Europe. If you choose to order a number of courses, then enjoy them slowly over conversation, the evening stretches on…one hour…two hours… Of course you could bypass the grazin... Full story

The glowing candles on the mural’s table fool you into thinking it’s a romantic alcove within the restaurant. That is the very ambiance that dominates Fresco Grill in Bonsall’s River Village. Genial proprietor/chef Leone D'Arcangelo i...

Sports fans that attend the Monday Night Football (MNF) parties at Pala Resort and Casino should be very thankful there are no National Football League referees in attendance. In the NFL, a player gets penalized for “piling on.” A referee would run out of flags calling that penalty at Pala, where the condiment bar is under a constant blitz from hungry football fans that know a great bargain. While attending the MNF party in the Infinity Showroom on Oct. 3, this writer saw several fine balancing acts by people carrying pla...
