And here's a roundup of what's elsewhere:  We have The Sound of Music playing all week at the Heights.  Cedar Rapids playing all week at the Parkway, which is also showing at the Riverview, along with The Adjustment Bureau among other films.  Riverview also has a poll open asking when you want to view a Harry Potter marathon at their theater.  When St Anthony isn't showing the best of MSPIFF, you can check out film adaptations Thor and Jane Eyre, and the Paul Giamatti vehicle Win Win.  You can also check out the top rated MSPIFF movie, Bill Cunningham New York, at Edina this week, while another fest favorite, Morgan Spurlock's The Greatest Movie Ever Sold, is at the Lagoon.  You might also want to check out the Kelly Reichardt film Meek's Cutoff and the Cannes Grand Prix winning Of Gods and Men at Edina.
