High: 31° / Low: 18° — Dude Weather Subscribe to Secrets Minneapolis / St. Paul
Sorry, folks: I didn't get an opportunity to see a preview of a (good) movie this week (plus I thought Antoinette was opening today... duh). Of the three major films beginning this weekend (and no, I don't count Saw III or Catch A Fire in that bunch):
Running With Scissors (area theaters): Shallow mental-illness flick with Annette Bening practically begging for an Oscar nomination (which she'll probably get). Everyone dances to the rockin' 70s soundtrack, and there's shit jokes and crying! Know what? I don't believe a minute of Burrough's story. James Frey II, anyone?
13 (Tzameti) (showing only at 9pm at the Lagoon): If this trailer doesn't convince you to go, you're crazy.
Death of a President (Oak Street Cinema): Fake documentary that ponders the aftermath of the assassination of George W. Bush in 2007. Mixed reviews, but talk about supercharged! Something tells me Overheard in Minneapolis ought to have an ear tuned to DOAP's post-film discussions...
