It's hard to believe it, but back in the day Grease was considered a raunchy musical when John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John signed on to play the leads in 1978. Summer love, teen pregnancy and s-e-x won out in the end because the movie's a classic. Come on out and enjoy a little pop-culture-coated teen angst at the Sunday Sunset Movie Nights on the Patio series at Central 214. The movie is free, and the trials and tribulations of Sandy and Danny are always entertaining. Seating is at 8 p.m. Central 214 is located in the Hotel Palomar, 5680 N. Central Expressway. Call 214-443-9339 or central214.com.
