Whether you like it or not, this weekend marks the biggest “date night” of the year. So if you’re having relations of any sort on a regular basis, chances are pretty good your Sunday evening is already booked. Because Valentine’s Day lands on a weekend again this year, all of you guys out there in committed relationships will probably have to leave the comfort of your own home and pony up some cash for a night out on the town. Dinner and a movie is a common choice for couples and since our annual celebration of Saint Valentine was created solely for females, it is only fair that the girl in your life gets to pick the screening you two will attend.

JACK FM has gone ahead and figured out 8 V-Day Movies you may be forced to sit through to appease your girlfriend/wife/significant-other this weekend, and some pointers if you want to survive them.

Dear John

PLOT: A soldier falls in love with a college student while home on leave and the two of them send love letters to each other. No one at Jack has seen it yet but we can safely assume it is probably filled with a whole lot of talking, passionate make-out scenes in rainstorms, and at least one song by The Fray. Vomitinourmouth.

WHY SHE WANTS TO SEE IT: Three reasons – (1) written by the same guy who penned The Notebook, (2) she secretly wants to date a soldier, and (3) she secretly wants to date Channing Tatum.

SAVING GRACE: None. Not only does the lead female Amanda Seyfried look eerily like an alien extra from District 9, you know the storyline is just going to be flat-out painful to watch. If you find yourself with this ticket stub in your pocket, just know you probably did something wrong.

As much as most of Chicagoans loved to see The Saints pull out the unlikely victory and prove the NFC has some life in it yet, the action on the field is only part of the draw for Super Bowl audiences.

The commercials have become just as exciting as the gridiron. We selected some of our favorites:

Videos & Photos: The Who at Super Bowl XLIV

February 8th, 2010  |  Filed under: JackTube Videos

The Who’s performance at the Superbowl XLIV Halftime Show was awesome, and most likely those who enjoyed it loved rock in the 60s and 70s. And that’s JACK’s favorite music of all time! So, watch Part 1 and 2 of The Who’s show below, and view the Best of Super Bowl XLIV gallery.

There might be 6 to 8 to 10 inches of snow in the Chicago forecast (depending where you live) over the next three days but it shouldn’t stop you from remembering the sun, summer and days of Margarita’s and umbrella drinks will eventually be here.

Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band are headed back to the Chicago land area at Bridgeview’s Toyota Park for a one-night-only concert on Saturday, August 14, as part of Jimmy Buffett’s “Under The Big Top” Tour 2010. One of the key signs that summer isn’t that far away.

Tickets go on-sale Monday, February 15th at 10AM at www.Ticketmaster.com, all Ticketmaster outlets including the Toyota Park box office, or charge by phone at (800) 745-3000.

Stay tuned this week for your chance to win tickets to the concert and a tropical getaway to the Occidental Grand Xcaret in Riviera Maya, Mexico courtesy of Apple Vacations and JACK FM.
