High: 13° / Low: 7° — Dude Weather Subscribe to Secrets Minneapolis / St. Paul
More on movies: the film that, in my humble opinion, should've won for best documentary is playing at the Bell--through tomorrow only! Not that I disliked An Inconvenient Truth. But let's face it, folks; it was, essentially, a PowerPoint presentation, whereas Iraq In Fragments took some very bold, and quite poetic, snapshots of three different Iraqi subsets: the neglected Sunni schoolboy; the rambled and radicalized Shiite south; and finally, the seemingly quiet life of a rural Kurdish schoolboy. Rich in hot reds and cool blues, the pictures are beautiful to boot--and considering how difficult the content was to gather, that must've been the filmmaker's happy accident.
