Citypaper April Wrap-Up

Between the Film Fest (I think the number ended up being about 60 films seen) and a small getaway to Virginia wine country for my birthday, I've neglected this space for about a month. So I'll do a lightning round of links for each of the usual papers.

As for CP:

April 10: Down from last week's total, a mere three reviews for Film Fest week two: Deep Sea Blues, Fados, and the Germs biopic What We Do is Secret; a regular review for the Ryan Reynolds vehicle Chaos Theory; and a pick for The Tiptons at Chris'.

April 17: A feature on local psych-noise label Fire Museum Records, previewing a label showcase at the Troc and an interview with Theo Bleckmann prior to his vocal supergroup MOSS appearing at the Art Museum; a review of Morgan Spurlock's Where in the World is Osama bin Laden? and an interview with the director; a review of the cloying oldsters-sing-hipster doc Young @ Heart, another for the belated poker mockumentary The Grand, and one more for the latest Apatow product, Forgetting Sarah Marshall; and a pick for the first anniversary of the dance/multi-media performance series paraphrase/NEXUS.

April 24: A pick for the Dylan-as-jazz trio Jewels and Binoculars; reviews of The Life Before Her Eyes, The Visitor and, yes, another poker flick, Deal; a piece on I-House's series of films on, about, or using still photos, Moving Pictures; and a pick for the collaboration of local improviser Jack Wright and Butoh master Katsura Kan.
