This Weekend I’ll be Covering: The XPN Music Film Festival
Film & Music, like Film & Food is always an exciting pairing! I’m looking forward to attending some of the goings on at this year’s XPN Music Film Festival April 11-14, 2013.

North By Northwest – Interview with Eva Marie Saint
Photo credit: Hugh E Dillon Earlier this month the Turner Classic Movies’ “Road to Hollywood” tour came to Philly (Prince Theater) and brought along legendary actress Eva Marie Saint, the actress best known for her sexy spy role, playing opposite Cary Grant in Alfred Hitchcock’s suspense classic – North By Northwest.
