Santa Ana's haven for independent cinema is hosting a full weekend of screenings of the Steven Patrick Morrissey biopic, England Is Mine with the first kicking off this Friday night. The Mark Gill directed film explores the blue-collar roots of one of rock music's most enigmatic personalities. Chronicling the chance encounter with the likes of Billy Duffy (The Cult) and later with cohort Johnny Marr, the film is already being praised by critics. Morrissey and The Smiths are the stuff of lore; this film is destined for cult fame and now is your chance to see it in a proper movie house in the Frida.

The recreational spaces of Orange County are all gorgeous. Between the parks and beaches, there are so many destinations that are perfect for doing a whole lot of nothing. To ensure these locations stay pristine, The Eco-Warrior Foundation along with Chronic Tacos are hosting a massive beach clean up effort. The call for volunteers comes with a sponsored lunch from the OC-based taco chain. Coupling the satisfaction of some hard work with the ability to enjoy a day in the sand makes for a quality Saturday afternoon. The scenery is among the best and who can turn own a free taco?
