"13 Hours" in a Red Box

December 09, 2008
by Chris Grap, MNDialog
The Minnesota-made horror film 13 Hours in a Warehouse hits Red Box today. That’s pretty cool, and chances are if you are in a place that has Red Box you don’t have the most discerning taste (or you collect Madagascar 2 toys, and that’s not good either). You might as well spend another buck and support a local filmmaker. Amazon, Best Buy, Blockbuster, Netflix…you can find the film just about anywhere. People are divided over Dav Kaufman’s film. Tripe or triumph, gorehound or not...whatever you think, here is some fodder for people on both sides of the fence. 13 Hours in a Warehouse Drinking Game from moviecynics.com 1 drink – every time you see a rat 1 drink – every time someone smokes 1 drink – every time someone drinks 1 drink – every time someone dies 1 drink – every time you see a ghost 1 drink – every time you see “32369” written on a wall (it's also the director’s birthday)

And on the other side, here’s what our friends at Metro Magazine have to say: Local Horror Film Wins Big Hundreds of independent horror films are produced in Minnesota each year, most of which never leave the camcorder in which they were shot and simultaneously edited. Occasionally, however, a locally produced horror film will rise from out of the corn-syrup-and-chocolate blood concoction and get noticed. This year Dáv Kaufman’s 13 Hours in a Warehouse did just that. The film, shot locally with regional talent, took home the Gold Remi Award at WorldFest, Houston’s prestigious international film and video festival. The film later found global distribution and is now available through Netflix. Watch the trailer and enjoy a pint: Congrats to Dav Kaufman and crew on getting this one out there.

THEATER | Barbara Berlovitz's "Stories as Told in a Bed": An intimate and sublimely humorous journey

By Dwight Hobbes, TC Daily Planet

It is tricky business reviewing a work in progress, putting the writer in a barely tenable position. How can you be fair to the playwright, casting comment on a script that's still in development? Critique the weaknesses and you're a villain for kicking the play's legs out from under it before it's had a chance to actually stand on them. Praise the strengths and you're a cheerleader clapping the author on the back before the job's finished being done.MORE »
