We're getting desperately close to summer festival season – and in case you needed more proof than a Summerfest stage announcement every day for the past two weeks, this morning, the Westown Association announced its lineup for the 2017 River Rhythms season, presented by Miller Lite.

The free concert series will then continue in Pere Marquette Park every Wednesday until Aug. 30, from 6:30 until 9 p.m.

As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.
When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
