Also in theaters: George Clooney’s ‘The American’

Hidden from critics until just before its Wednesday release, the dirty secret about “The American” turns out to be that it’s an “art film.” Director Anton Corbijn has crafted a quiet, haunting European thriller, drained of emotion and moving to its own deliberate pace.

Local music scene includes Madman Band, Acoustic Soul, John Sieger

I clicked on my Wheeliebar buddies’ website the other day and noticed that their next show was Thursday (Sept. 2). You have to remember that my deadline was days ago, and I only found out about this added gig after the last column ran. So why am I mentioning a concert that happened last night? Well, for two reasons. One, it’s not often that a local band has a show at the Marcus Amphitheater at the Summerfest grounds. Two, it’s not often that the local band is the opener for the legendary rock band KISS. Huge kudos go out to Eric Wennerholm (vocals), Paul Tadder (guitar), Joey Talbott (bass guitar) and Jason Wennerholm (drums) for winning the contest. Shoot me an e-mail or Facebook message, guys. I want to know all about it.
