Claude Peck

Editor | Fine arts, features

Claude Peck spent most of his journalism career in the pre-blog era, but will try to keep up. After all, he’s already embarrassing his nieces on Facebook and dressing inappropriately for his age group. At the Star Tribune, he oversees coverage of movies, nightlife, theater, classical music, dance and the Talking Volumes book series. With Rick Nelson, he does the weekly column called Withering Glance.

As TV and media critic, Neal Justin has had the good fortune to interview David Letterman, Amy Adams, Howard Stern, Robert Redford, Mary Tyler Moore, Ben Kingsley and Urkel from “Family Matters.” Before joining the Star Tribune in 1995, he covered crime for the Rockford Register Star, which may explain his affinity for “Hill Street Blues” and “The Wire.”

Colin Covert

Columnist/Reporter | Movies

Colin Covert has covered films for the Star Tribune for 20 years, interviewing Peter Jackson, Kate Winslet, Steven Spielberg, Cate Blanchett, Quentin Tarantino, Neil Gaiman and John Travolta, to name a few. Colin’s job as a film critic consists mostly of thinking up synonyms for “mediocre.” He still gets a thrill when the lights dim, and all too often a bigger thrill when they come on again.
