THE OPTIMISTIC PESSIMIST | Oscar-nominated animated shorts are charming and
moving
http://tcdailyplanet.net/node/44049
by Jim Brunzell III Last week, I talked about two Oscar-nominated films,
Biutiful and The Illusionist. Now this week, there are a whopping fifteen
Oscar-nominated films opening. The films are not feature length, thank
goodness: there are three sets of short programs opening this weekend, two at
the Lagoon Cinema and the other opening at the Riverview Theater. So to get
ahead in your upcoming Oscar pools, it would be wise to try to catch these
films in their limited runs.
MINNEAPOLIS OBSERVER | Skittering over the lake
http://www.tcdailyplanet.net/node/44019
by Sharon Parker Earlier this winter, the park board delayed opening the
skating rinks because the insulating cover provided by our early and abundant
snowfall delayed the freezing of the lakes. But now it appears that the
prolonged cold weather has triggered another delay of sorts: the park board
recently announced that instead of closing after Presidents' Day, as has been
the custom most winters, the city's ice rinks will remain open until March 6.
We can thank our cold weather for that extended opportunity.
