the week in mpls movies: mar 14

This week will provide you with many opportunities to escape the basketball madness over taking your TVs.

Tuesday
•Wah Do Dem @ Trylon; 7:00 & 8:40.  This 2009 film tells the story of a young man recovering from a recent breakup on a free cruise from Brooklyn to Jamaica.  The storyline came about after the first-time directing duo of Ben Chace and Sam Fleischner won a real cruise to Jamaica.

Wednesday
•Who Framed Roger Rabbit? @ Turf Club; 7pm.  Another Trash Film Debauchery presentation, but this one comes with 2-4-1 rail drinks!  At one point Disney had asked Terry Gilliam to direct this 1988 movie, but he turned it down, a decision he regretted saying, "pure laziness on my part."  Robert Zemeckis won the job after the success of Romancing The Stone and Back To The Future.
•"Cinema Lounge" @ Bryant Lake; 7pm.

Thursday (St. Patty's Day!)
•Berlin @ Walker; 7:30.  Part of the Julian Schnabel retrospective, this concert film features Lou Reed performing his ambitious and underappreciated 1973 album over five nights in 2006.  This Venice and Toronto fest feature will be screening for free.
•Ghost Bird @ Bell Museum Auditorium; 7pm.  A lively panel discussion follows this documentary on an extinct woodpecker.
•Fallen Gods @ St Anthony; 7:30.  Screening 4 of 6 in the Cuban Film Festival.
