How can I print a views exposed form into a custom block?
Hours and hours of searching and nothing was working.  Several minutes after posting this question, I figured it out.  The following code can be used in template files or blocks.

&lt;?php
  $block = module_invoke('views', 'block_view', '-exp-VIEW_NAME-DISPLAY_NAME');
  print render($block['content']);
