Sad, breaking news that actor Patrick Swayze has died at 57 after a battle with cancer. The Central Cinema began a double-feature of Road House and Dirty Dancing on Sunday, which continues through Thursday. Our positive assessment, written last week, still stands. Only now the Swayze tribute will take on a more solemn tone, and the cheery pre-show sing-a-long may be cancelled. Instead, let’s all raise a glass in memory of the handsome Zen master, and picture him as he was.Patrick Swayze, 1952-2009. Rest in peace.Dirty Dancing Continues through Tues., Sept 15 at 7 p.m.Road House (21 and over) Continues through Thurs., Sept 17 at 9:30 p.m.
