While Lewinsky builds an engaging base around the seriousness of rape and the consequences of alleging it, what he makes his characters do – especially Thomas – just gets so nut that it's difficult to watch with a straight face.
Josh Kreigman and Elyse Steinberg's film on the fall and rise and fall of former Congressman Anthony Weiner is not only perhaps the most compelling documentary you'll find at this year's MSPIFF.
They were big in the '80s, arguably even bigger when they broke into separate acts. Now, New Edition is getting back together and bringing their show to Target Center.
Let me blow your mind as we announce Gwen Stefani is coming to the Twin Cities! Stefani will be bringing her "This Is What The Truth Feels Like" tour to St. Paul, with a stop scheduled at the Xcel Energy Center on August 7.
Tale of Tales, directed by Gomorrah helmer Matteo Garrone, strains at the seams to become the next art house cult classic-cum-midnight movie.
A Mel Brooks line about Larry David, from an episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm," popped into my head on a couple occasions while watching actor Gunnar Jónsson in the Icelandic film "Virgin Mountain": "There's something about this middle-aged bald guy that's thrilling!"

They're like a marriage of Kiss, The Flaming Lips and Gwar, albeit a PG-13-rated version of the latter. And like Gwar had been for many years, the band is anchored by one man: Kengo Hioki, aka Peelander Yellow.
For some critics, the idea of writing about a Peter Greenaway movie is akin to the proverbial "dancing about architecture." Greenaway's films can often have such a finely honed aesthetic, and one built from incongruous formal juxtapositions -- tony but opulent, refined but reckless, arty but erogenous.
The lineup for the Midwest Music Showcase at Target Field has been announced – and it contains a healthy amount of prominent local acts.
Russian auteur Alexander Sokurov, the creator of the 2002 one-take behemoth Russian Ark, has now turned his restless attention to the Louvre. In this freewheeling poetic essay Francofonia, which has far more than one take, the filmmaker explores the relationship between great art and power, especially in the era of Nazi-occupied France.
No more Guy Noir, Private Eye. No more tales of Dusty and Lefty, the luckless cowboys. And no more weekly "News From Lake Wobegon," the imaginary Minnesota town famous for strong women, good-looking men and above-average children.
