Telluride Film Festival Announces 2010 Line-up Thursday, September 2, 2010 @ 5:47PMOne of the many things that makes the Telluride Film Festival more interesting than most other film festivals is that it doesn't announce the line-up until 24 hours before the film festival begins. And even then the festival usually packs a few unannounced surprise premieres. This year's line-up is kind of a let down. A large portion of the 24 feature films were selected from this year's Cannes ...

Best entertaiment bets for Aug. 27-Sept. 2 Wednesday, September 1, 2010 @ 3:46PMThrough Sunday: To be clear, I'm not a particular fan of this particular staging of the Tennessee Williams classic. The human drama of Stanley, Stella and Blanche is obscured, rather than elevated, by the overblown theatrics of director John Miller-Stephany's production. But "Streetcar" is part of the canon, and whatever its flaws, the Guthrie offers a credible production. As summer wanes, so ...

Checklist: Free music, fashion and a county fair Thursday, August 26, 2010 @ 11:17AMOh, brother. This year’s back-to-school fashions for young women look even more impractical and uncomfortable than usual. If you believe department store advertising, then it seems that fashion pooh-bahs — where?
