There are alternatives for those who are single, or just hate the whole cards-and-candy routine
When it comes to Valentine’s Day, people fall into two groups: The lovesick, and those who are, well, sick of the whole thing. Maybe you’re romantically challenged and would rather not be reminded of it. Or, maybe, you’re one of those people who thinks the self-determined Day of Romance has devolved into so much over-the-top pomp and circumstance. Regardless, there are plenty of you out there. The good news: If this year’s V-Day will be a decidedly solo affair, Richfield Patch has put together a list of alternatives for you on what’s become one of our country’s most commercialized holidays: 1.

It’s nearly the fourteenth of February and Eternal Love approacheth on gossamer wings gilded by advertising dollars. To help you and your beloved celebrate, and to ensure that you need not actually make conversation, Patch has prepared a short list of movie recommendations starring actors and actresses born in the land by the shores of Gitche Gumee. "The Virgin Suicides" Background: In 1999, then-21-year-old St. Paulite Josh Hartnett’s surname was not yet synonymous with heartthrob. The actor was fresh off his much-lauded role in The Faculty when he was cast in The Virgin Suicides, Sofia Coppola’s adaptation of a Jeffrey Eugenides novel.
