There are many great people participating in Movie Blogville, and I am fortunate to live in the same city as one of them.
Courtesy of Ruth, I will be covering The Minneapolis-St. Paul International Film Festival for the next two weeks. On behalf of Flixchatter, where my reviews will first appear, I will see no less than a dozen of the festival’s offerings, including, but obviously not limited to, Joe (USA), Mystery Road (Australia) and The Double (UK).
Which means I owe Ruth public and sincere acknowledgement. Ruth, you’re awesome! Thank you for securing the Press Badge and for making me part of the Flixchatter crew; I am excited to see Intruders (South Korea) later tonight, and all of the other movies that come after it. Thank you again!

Wahoo!! Glad to have you tag team-ing with me on MSPIFF, yay!! Hope you enjoy Intruders tonight, see you tomorrow for JOE! 😀
🙂
Joe is Sunday, right?
Yep, 7pm I think, but better double check the schedule again 🙂
If not 7, it’s right around there. So 7 is as good an estimate as any. 🙂
Its the dream team! Can’t wait to see your reviews guys
Thanks much!
Looking forward to reading your reviews. 🙂
Thanks. 🙂
Oh, and about Oryx and Crake. Glad you are liking it. The second one is better. I’m into the third.
Remind me, just so I don’t have to look it up. What is the second one called?
The Year of the Flood.
I bet you would prefer ‘The Windup Girl’
by Paolo Bacigalupi
Feels more like a movie. A speculative fiction that is more action packed. Try that.
I’ll try that one, too. Although I really do like Oryx and Crake. A lot. I’d give it a B+ now. We’ll see how it ends. I could see it bumping into A- range.
My personal bias always sides with character development and skillful showing over telling. Atwood is pretty masterful at both, so I don’t care all that much about the subdued action and heavy use of summary.
Her masterpiece is ‘The Hand Maid’s Tale’. I find her inspirational.
I plan to check out The Hand Maid’s Tale, too, actually. But. So many other books to also read and only so much time.
Enjoy dude 🙂
Thanks.
Ah, the mighty press pass. Congratulations and enjoy. Looking forward to the reviews.
Thanks.
That is awesome! I’m so jealous! Have a fantastic time!
Thank you!
And I’m so lucky!
Cool! : )
Thanks!
Jealous you get to see The Double – that’s not even getting released here! (It is in Australia, just not in my city) Hope you like Mystery Road as much as I did!
Me too! You ‘re the reason it’s one of the three for which I’m most excited. 🙂
The Double is one of the last I’ll be catching – hopefully it is as good as I think it could be. 🙂
very cool! enjoy!
Thanks.
That’s a result! Enjoy buddy.
I will. Thank you.
How cool! Have a blast, my friend! Can’t wait to see those reviews! 🙂

Ohhh how exciting! Can’t to read your posts. Do your wordpress buddies proud!
Doing my best. 🙂

Some of the reviews are already popping up on Flixchatter. I’ll link to them tomorrow. 🙂
Oh yay! Keeping my eyes peeled!
That is awesome! Will definitely give your coverage a read! You are in for some great films by the looks of it.
I am enjoying it so far. I’ve seen Intruders (from South Korea), Joe and a Swedish flick called Hotell. None of them are bad. The first two are very good.
Looking forward to the rest of the fest. 🙂
I’ll link to the reviews soon (probably tomorrow).
Uber congrats on the passes. Look forward to reading your reviews
Thanks.
