Anthropology, linguistics, and history fit comfortably in my wheelhouse, whereas chemistry and physics are forced to wedge themselves in the remaining awkward spaces. In order to graduate from college, I had to take a human physiology class that my advisor...]]> Wed, 15 May 2013 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.citypages.com/2013-05-15/restaurants/scrumptious-twists-on-sandwiches-in-the-twin-cities/ <![CDATA[Star Trek: Into familiar territory]]> http://www.citypages.com/2013-05-15/movies/star-trek-into-familiar-territory/ "Who are you?" pleads a doomed man as Benedict Cumberbatch looms into his first close-up in Star Trek into Darkness. The answer is Khan. And that's not a spoiler,—it's a selling point. A less secretive director (i.e., all save the ghost of Stanley Kubrick) would trumpet that his $185...]]> Wed, 15 May 2013 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.citypages.com/2013-05-15/movies/star-trek-into-familiar-territory/ <![CDATA[Heavy Deeds goes for Light Lunch]]> http://www.citypages.com/2013-05-15/music/heavy-deeds-goes-for-light-lunch/ Heavy Deeds first formed as a band two years ago. But those two years got loaded with with life changes — jobs, projects, and relationships — that kept recorded material on hold. For some artists, the constant postponing would be a sign that the band just wasn't meant to be — bu...]]> Wed, 15 May 2013 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.citypages.com/2013-05-15/music/heavy-deeds-goes-for-light-lunch/ <![CDATA[Culture Cry Wolf go organic]]> http://www.citypages.com/2013-05-15/music/culture-cry-wolf-go-organic/ There's a definite art to finding cohesion between seemingly disconnected pieces. Culture Cry Wolf's core sound has always managed to find the sweet middle ground between hip hop and a rock-genre gumbo to create a product that sounds effortless.

For the six-piece Minneapolis band's latest...]]> Wed, 15 May 2013 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.citypages.com/2013-05-15/music/culture-cry-wolf-go-organic/ <![CDATA[An Iliad captures the classic tale]]> http://www.citypages.com/2013-05-15/arts/an-iliad-captures-the-classic-tale/ An Iliad opens with the quiet before the storm. It's clear something is up once you arrive on the ninth floor of the Guthrie Theater. The bay doors to the Dowling Studio are all open, exposing the entire set and house to the lobby area.

The payoff comes a few minutes later, when th...]]> Wed, 15 May 2013 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.citypages.com/2013-05-15/arts/an-iliad-captures-the-classic-tale/ <![CDATA[Dark Clouds: Embedded with Minnesota's misfit fans]]> http://www.citypages.com/2013-05-15/news/dark-cloud-embedded-with-minnesota-s-misfit-fans/ It’s not quite noon, and the Nomad World Pub is getting rowdy. Minnesota’s most diehard soccer fans — some of whom have already been here for hours — are knocking back pints of Surly Furious and shots of Jameson. There’s an oversized Jenga game in the middle of the p...]]> Wed, 15 May 2013 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.citypages.com/2013-05-15/news/dark-cloud-embedded-with-minnesota-s-misfit-fans/ <![CDATA[What Gatsby Gets Wrong: Ten Ways the New Movie Will Trip Up the Lazy Students of Tomorrow]]> http://www.citypages.com/2013-05-15/movies/gatsby-book-movie-comparison/ The only thing we English teachers hate more than Sparknotes is a high quality, mostly faithful movie version of a book. Why would a student slog through Pride and Prejudice when she can drool over Colin Firth in the excellent BBC miniseries Wed, 15 May 2013 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.citypages.com/2013-05-15/movies/gatsby-book-movie-comparison/ <![CDATA[Cannes: Not Even the Gifted Emma Watson Raise The Bling Ring]]> http://www.citypages.com/2013-05-15/movies/the-bling-ring-review-cannes/ The biggest puzzlement of these early days of the festival comes from Sofia Coppola, one of my favorite working directors. Until now, I have loved every one of Coppola's movies: I love her sure and delicate touch, and she's better than any other contemporary filmmaker at capturing the greatness o...]]> Wed, 15 May 2013 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.citypages.com/2013-05-15/movies/the-bling-ring-review-cannes/ <![CDATA[Cannes: Young & Beautiful is a Portrait of a 17-Year-Old French Call Girl]]> http://www.citypages.com/2013-05-15/movies/young-and-beautiful-movie-review-cannes/ François Ozon's Young & Beautiful, a portrait of a 17-year-old French call girl, is something else again. This is another story about a family in crisis: Isabelle (played by Marine Vacth, a stunning-looking if ultimately inert actress) is a student who still lives at home wit...]]> Wed, 15 May 2013 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.citypages.com/2013-05-15/movies/young-and-beautiful-movie-review-cannes/ <![CDATA[Cannes: Heli is Family Drama Set Against Mexico's Drug Wars]]> http://www.citypages.com/2013-05-15/movies/heli-movie-review-cannes/ One of the most exciting things about attending the Cannes Film Festival is being among the first people to see the films the world will be talking about. That's one of the terrible things, too: There's no one to warn you when you're about to see a puppy murder, a 12-year-old girl borne away towa...]]> Wed, 15 May 2013 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.citypages.com/2013-05-15/movies/heli-movie-review-cannes/ <![CDATA[Cannes Diary: What Are the Women in their Dresses Hoping For?]]> http://www.citypages.com/2013-05-15/movies/cannes-2013/ Nearly everyone I know who has seen the official poster for the 66th Cannes Film Festival -- a bird's-eye view of a kiss between a young Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward -- has been crazy about it. The couple's lips meet in the center of a perfect sunburst. She's two o'clock, he's eight o'c...]]> Wed, 15 May 2013 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.citypages.com/2013-05-15/movies/cannes-2013/
