It's time for my three to see for Day 3 of the 2019 Milwaukee Film Festival. Or more like four to see. Actually, five. Listen, when the lineup is as good as the film festival's this year, I can't help but break my own rules and go a little overboard.
You see, if you follow OnMilwaukee on Instagram – and you definitely should – you'll notice that my picks for the day included "Bleed Out." Unfortunately, that screening started an hour ago, and unless you stole that DeLorean from out front of the Oriental yesterday, that would make it pretty hard to attend at this point. (You should still definitely seek out "Bleed Out," though; check out HBO, which premiered the medical doc earlier this year.)
So, to make up for that snafu, I've tossed in an extra pick in this batch of festival flicks. And then another extra one, because I'm a mad man. Here's my three to see for Day 3 – from one of Hollywood's most notorious flops to one of film's greatest documentaries and a 3-D cinematic experience. Because what better way to ring in Day 3 than with three dimensions!
- "Long Day's Journey Into Night" in 3-D will screen at 1:45 p.m. at the Oriental Theatre (If you're not a 3-D fan, the film screens again at the Oriental Theatre on Thursday, Oct. 24 in traditional 2-D)
- "Paris is Burning" will screen at 6 p.m. at the Oriental Theatre
- "You Don't Nomi" will screen at 9 p.m. at the Oriental Theatre ("Showgirls" shows afterward at 11:30 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.
