The MFA presents this award-winning documentary which will have a week-long run at St. Anthony Main.

Returning home to a small town in Montana for her high school reunion, filmmaker Kimberly Reed hopes for reconciliation with her long-estranged adopted brother, Marc. But along the way she uncovers stunning revelations, including his blood relationship with Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth, intense sibling rivalries and unforeseeable twists of plot and gender that force them to face challenges no one could imagine.

Prodigal Sons – Trailer

The newest gross-out shock film sensation, Tom Six’s Human Centipede, is premiering in the Twin Cities as part of the Uptown Theatre’s midnight film series.

Internationally respected Siamese twin surgeon Dr. Josef Heiter wants to remove human beings’ kneecaps so they have to exist on all fours and then surgically graft them mouth-to-anus to form a centipede chain. When two stranded female Americans arrive at his luxury home-cum-hospital looking for help, his long-gestating plan swiftly moves into chilling action.

In conjunction with their new issue launch, Quodlibetica is hosting two screenings of my favorite Orson Welles film, F For Fake, at the Trylon Microcinema. Not only is it one of the greatest documentaries ever made, it has a 9-minute short film for a trailer.

Orson Welles’ free-form documentary about fakery focuses on the notorious art forger Elmyr de Hory and Elmyr’s biographer, Clifford Irving, who also wrote the celebrated fraudulent Howard Hughes autobiography, then touches on the reclusive Hughes and Welles’ own career (which started with a faked resume and a phony Martian invasion). On the way, Welles plays a few tricks of his own on the audience.

F For Fake – Trailer

Television’s greatest show has almost returned. Season 8 will air Wednesday nights on the Discovery Channel.

Mythbusters is Awesome

Everyone loves the crap out of George R. R. Martin’s political fantasy epic A Game of Thrones, and HBO just announced that they’re officially picking up the series. The ten-episode first season will star the likes of Sean Bean and Peter Dinklage and will be directed (the pilot, at least) by Tom McCarthy.

Look for it next spring.

Luck, the HBO collaboration between David Milch and Michael Mann, has announced its main cast, and it includes Dustin Hoffman as an ex-con gambler, Dennis Farina as Hoffman’s driver, and John Ortiz as a Peruvian trainer.

UPDATE: Nick Nolte just signed on. Awesome.

In case you’ve forgotten, Luck is centered on the world of horse-racing, and should air on HBO around January.
