MINNEAPOLIS – Beth Barron is begging for Band-Aids. She will take just about any kind of Band-Aid, even ones with blood and dirt.
“I’m not picky. I’m mean, it’s sort of like, some are pretty intensely dirty. Usually I
It’s official — spring is in the hiz-house. If it wasn’t apparent by the sight of jacket-less workers taking to the streets, it’s definitely clear by the beautiful sight of patio resurgence.
Some people have furry animals or bird watching to tell them when spring’s a comin’ — we have patio preparations. Once those little tables and chairs are set up, something just lights up inside us Midwesterners. It’s hard to explain — and people in year-round warm climates clearly wouldn’t understand — but in a way, seeing an unveiled patio after a long, brutal winter is almost like the heavens above, parting the clouds to say, “It’s all over. You made it. It’s going t
(NewsCore) – PANAMA CITY, Fla. — A Florida jury of eight women ruled Thursday that “Girls Gone Wild” founder Joe Francis was not responsible for causing psychological harm to four women filmed performing sex acts in his popular video series.
The women, who are now in their twenties, had filed a federal civil lawsuit claiming Francis should pay damages for inflicting lasting psychological harm by filming them for his raunchy movie empire when they were underage.
One of the plantiffs claimed she was 13 when she was filmed.
The 38-year-old video entrepreneur represented himself in court but was assisted by a legal team when the judge overseeing the case, US District Judge Richard Smoak, held Francis in contempt of court.
“Smoak ruled after Francis had asked one of the plaintiffs if she was a prostitute, according to the American Bar Association (ABA) Journal.
Director Julian Schnabel attends the premiere of “Miral” hosted by the Weinstein Company in New York City.
By Jonathon Sharp
Not everyday does one meet the likes of Julian Schnabel. Not often does one talk about movies with a man whose last movie was nominated for four academy awards. Not often does such a man spontaneously read you a poem. However, this was the situation in which I – a young man with only a Netflix-knowledge of cinema – found myself. And I’m happy to report that it was awesome.
But that’s not the word Schnabel would use.

Juliette Binoche in “Certified Copy.”
No one films two people talking inside a car like Abbas Kiarostami.
Two of the internationally renowned Iranian director’s previous films — Ten and Taste of Cherry, which won the Cannes Palme d’Or back in 1997 — spend basically every minute of their running time marking time spent making chatter behind the wheel of cars driving more or less without aim.
If Kiarostami’s characters meander physically between thoroughfares and side streets, their philosophical journeys while commuting are far more profound and far-reaching.
In Taste of Cherry, a man attempts to convince three separate passengers to bury him after he commits suicide.
In Ten, a woman talks freely in her car with her passengers, and one gets the sense that her car is actually her sanctuary, the one place where she can be both in the public eye and in a completely private environment.
And now, in Certified Copy, Kiarostami’s first international production and also the first boasting an A-list international star, his characters actually reach a destination and leave their car. But that’s when
The last time I was at the Science Museum, I was more than a decade younger , probably had about twice the energy and sadly, was probably about the same height.
Turns out, I’m probably not alone. The Science Museum is making efforts to prove it’s not just for kids. And for those adults who haven’t visited since they were kids, it’ll be a nice trip down memory lane — but this time with cash bars. Holler.
On Wednesday, March 30, the Science Museum of Minnesota will hold its first ever 21+ event called “Social Science” — think bar meets history.
From 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., gue
