Arts reporter and critic Rosemary Ponnekanti keeps you in touch with the arts and culture scene with the help of other News Tribune writers, critics and editors.
Rosemary Ponnekanti is the arts reporter at The News Tribune, and has been a classical music nerd nearly all her life. Besides spending way too much time in galleries, museums and concert halls, she occasionally brings a whistle or double bass to Celtic jam sessions, and insists on singing "Happy Birthday" in four-part harmony.

He went. He saw. He got really, really cold.
Werner Herzog, the visionary (some would say crazed) German filmmaker who once ordered a crew of Indian laborers to haul a full-size steamboat over a jungled Amazonian hill for his feature "Fitzcarraldo," again went to extremes to make his latest picture, "Encounters at the End of the World." He went to McMurdo Station, the American research outpost in Anarctica, to see what kinds of people are drawn to the isolation and the cold there. He found a land of beauty. He found a hive of peculiarity. He captured it all on film and brought it back for you and me to see. Friday, we can see it at the Grand Cinema. Wear mittens. And a furry-earflap cap.
Also opening Friday at the Grand is "The Wackness," an angsty indie feature starring Ben Kingsley as a wacked-out doped-up shrink who trades therapy sessions for marijuana. It takes all kinds I guess.
