Summerfest still has one more American Family Insurance Amphitheater headliner to announce, as well as probably a few additional grounds stage headliners and the rest of the grounds stage acts, so stay tuned to OnMilwaukee for those updates as they happen. Until then, start planning!
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.
