Movie Blog @ MSPIFF, Day 5: ‘La Playa DC’
Serious and subtle, “La Playa DC” captures the coming of age of a Colombian boy pulled in different directions by everything — this past, his poverty, his pride, family, friends and dreams.
Movie Blog @ MSPIFF, Day 2: ‘Leviathan’
If you thought Deadliest Catch was unnerving, imagine experiencing the show aboard the ship, peering through a pinhole, trying to make out what’s moving around among the dripping nets, inhaling salty night air, underneath a cloud of scavenging sea birds.
Movie Blog @ MSPIFF, Day 1: ‘The Angels’ Share’

Movie Blog: Full List Of MSPIFF Titles Announced
We’re now just a few weeks away from the opening of the 2013 MSPIFF, and it still feels pretty much like winter out there. So there will be no reason to feel bad about seeking late-season refuge inside a movie theater … for weeks.
Movie Blog: MSPIFF Announces 1st Batch Of Titles
There are few things sweeter than the sight of grass peeking through the snow after a long, hard winter season. But the opportunity to see new movies from world-class auteurs and local up-and-comers alike is among those things.

Movie Blog @ MSPIFF, Day 4: ‘The Salt Of Life’

Movie Blog @ MSPIFF, Day 3: ‘Eye Of The Storm’
Fred Schepisi isn’t particularly high on the list of most cinephile’s lists of great working auteurs, but for a small, fiercely devoted group. The small, devoted group have a solid case, though.
Movie Blog @ MSPIFF, Day 2: ‘Bert Stern’
For a man whose work is as timeless as photographer Bert Stern’s, the title of his documentary kowtows almost disappointingly to current concerns … but for understandable reasons.
Movie Blog: Ready Or Not, It’s MSPIFF Time!
Hey, the weather’s been nice for a while now. There’s no reason why you should spend your April basking in the sunlight we’ve already enjoyed for weeks.

In the summer, audiences flock to movie theaters to cool down in the air conditioning. But as temperatures cool off in autumn, local programmers at our trusty retro houses are turning up the heat on their offerings.
Movie Blog: Woody Allen Takes You To Paris In The ‘20s
If you were fortunate enough to catch Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris, which both me and WCCO-TV’s Mark Rosen enjoyed, then you couldn’t help but notice the movie’s infatuation with the artists and writers of the 1920s.
