When was the last time you did some amateur law enforcement? Perhaps this weekend is the time for you to be on the lookout for the 10 folks that the MPD wants to capture most. Most of the crimes are severe enough that the suspects have probably fled town and you won’t run into them hanging out at Bastille Days. Still, you never know- maybe you can take down a perp!

Notorious Wisconsin creep, Ed Gein, is the subject of a new musical movie directed by less-notorious Wisconsinite production company, DaviesRussell. Showing at the Times Cinema Friday and Saturday, Ed Gein: The Musical promises to set the story of Ed Gein’s life of revolting compulsions to the bear. Putting Mr. Gein’s life to music may not give you something to dance to, but it surely indicates that this film will have a tongue-in-cheek perspective (but whose tongue in whose cheek?)

And if you think murder, grave-robbing, and onscreen singing all reeks of evilness, check this out: the URL for tonight’s midnight showing ends with “666″:
