I saw this on day 4 of the film festival last week. There aren't a lot of movies with strong female roles in Hollywood, so it's nice that three out of four of the studio films at TCFF feature characters based on real-life strong women in a male-dominated arena. Secretariat is more than just a …

The Twin Cities Film Fest continues! I didn't sign up to volunteer Wednesday night, so right after work, hubby and I headed downtown to see the John Lennon childhood biopic Nowhere Boy.

Based on Frederico Fellini's 8-1/2 (reviewed by guest blogger Rockerdad), it centers on the renowned Italian director Guido …
