Love bites

First dinner, then a movie. It's the classic American date protocol—low-intensity enough for that gentle first date, and comfortable enough for a couple who are years into their relationship. It's so comfortable, in fact, that The Ohio Theatre thinks it deserves a shake up. The theater, through February, is screening a "Love Stinks Film Series," with films that portray l'amour in a darker light. On Valentine's Day weekend, take your pick of The Break Up (A Vince Vaughn/Jennifer Aniston dramedy that packs a surprising wallop) or Kramer Vs. Kramer (Dustin Hoffman's 1979 Oscar-nominated divorce flick). The next weekend, catch a Kramer recap, or a screening of She Devil, which pits Roseanne Barr against Meryl Streep in the battle for one man's heart.

Saturday, February 15, The Break Up at 4pm, Kramer Vs. Kramer at 7pm; Saturday, February 22, Kramer Vs. Kramer at 4pm, She Devil at 7pm. Adults $5, Kids $1. Ohio Theatre, 3114 Lagrange St. 419-720-8952. ohiotheatretoledo.org
