RATED: Not Rated
SHOWING: St. Anthony Main, April 26, 5:15 pm

Blurb: 
n his first political documentary, “Unconvention,” local director Chris Strouth combats this widespread amnesia by exhibiting a broad collection of interviews and firsthand accounts of both the order of the convention and the mayhem on the streets.

“The Mysteries of Pittsburgh”
Rated: R
STARRING: Jon Foster, Sienna Miller, Peter Sarsgaard
SHOWING: Lagoon Cinema, April 10

Blurb: 
The problem with “The Mysteries of Pittsburgh” is its formulaic approach to the coming-of-age film. That’s not to say that it’s all bad, though; in fact, it’s vaguely likeable despite its mediocrity.
