How often do you get to see two great
Prince films on the big screen in one week in his hometown? The "
psychobiographical" fiction known as
Purple Rain screens tonight at 9:00 p.m. at the Regal
Brookdale Center 20 theater (6420 Camden Ave N, Mpls., 763.566.3456). The classic and rarely screened concert film
Sign O' the Times (here's Michaelangelo Matos's
review) shows Saturday at midnight at the
Uptown Theatre (2906 Hennepin Ave S, Mpls., 612.825.6006, official site
here) as part of the
Get Real City Pages Documentary Film Festival (Nov. 4-10). The entire Get Real schedule is live
here, and in today's City Pages. The fest kicks off Friday at 2:30 p.m. with
I.F. Stone's Weekly, a portrait of the independent journalist that couldn't be more timely in this era of
media buyouts. Look for more recommendations here tomorrow.
