Remembrance of Jennie (-fer Jones)
2009-12-18 09:18:00 Among the quirky films that have found the way to the top of my list of favorite movies is a little known (save to film buffs) 1948 picture, Portrait of Jennie, about Eben Adams (Joseph Cotten), a struggling artist, finding his muse, a woman (or is she just an image?) who helps him turn his ...

Top 10 movies of 2009: Let the argument begin!
2009-12-11 23:02:00 A real solid year for movies, 2009. A lot of directors took a lot of risks; some worked out ("Where the Wild Things Are"), some didn't ("Fantastic Mr. Fox"). Good to see some artistic daring, though. And, hey, in the case of something like "Crazy Heart," it's clear that sometimes doing something totally unique isn't as important as doing something better than it's been done before, with enough depth and feeling to stand out from the crowd.Enough summarizing: These are the Top 10 movies of 2009, plus 9 honorable mentions. Check out our list and let us know what you think earned its spot, what shouldn't be on there and what we left out!**Digg the gallery, if you're into that...
New movies: Solid 'Air,' 'Brothers,' 'Fine,'
2009-12-03 17:49:00 An unusually good week for new movies. Sweet!I don't love "Up in the Air" as much as my colleague Geoff Berkshire (see my capsule review below), but it's still solid entertainment with a trio of great performances. Quality acting also supports the surprisingly restrained "Brothers," while "Everybody's Fine" gets a little hokey but still worked for me as a nice holiday movie about family that acknowledges conflict in a way that feels real. Geoff liked the Chilean drama "The Maid," and so did I (see my capsule review below), though be prepared to spend most of the movie hating the main character. As for the Chicago-set comedy "The Strip," uh, a few laughs isn't worth enduring something so amateur.What do...

Must-see holiday movies you need to know about
2009-11-27 04:10:00 The busy holiday season is here, which means you have shopping to do, dinners to prepare and in-laws to avoid. Somewhere in there, the studios hope, you'll find time to see a movie.Which to choose?Fox is hoping it will be "Avatar" on Dec. 18, the sci-fi adventure from James Cameron with a reportedly humongous budget of $500 million. From the looks of things, "The Twilight Saga: New Moon," which set box office records when it opened a week ago and is poised to trounce any new competition this week, including Viggo Mortensen's high-anticipated turn in "The Road," still will be a force when "Avatar" opens.A week after "Avatar," Robert Downey Jr. turns up in a rocket-fueled "Sherlock Holmes." We've seen...
Online movies versus theater movies, are we cheating the film industry?
2009-11-22 23:51:00 Was the film really worth $9.50 For my birthday I got an AMC gift card for $10, so I went to Orland Square Mall to see "2012." Had I not received that gift card, I'd have gone to The New 400 Theater because instead of paying $9.50 for any movie after 3:30 p.m., I'd have paid $7.50 after 6 p.m. or $5 before 6 p.m. The Suntimes' Kara Spak recently wrote an interesting column called "Online movie free-for-all," and I agree with most of the comments. There are some movies that flat out are not worth paying $9.50 for. Was "2012" worth paying $9.50 for? Absolutely. Was "Paranormal Activity," a film I saw on my birthday? No. I liked...

Below is the list of films that I think are 'MUSTS' if you are martial arts fan, junkie or geek.

Gina Carano - Another MMA Fighter to Move into the Movies
2009-09-08 16:32:00 We have recently touched on the presence of MMA fighters crossing over onto the screen. MMA stars like: Rich Franklin, Andrei Arlovski, Randy Couture and Rampage Jackson have been lured in with exciting roles that allow them to play dress up for a justifiable fee. Although I can say, I am not eager to see any of their performances, since theatrical skills were not the purpose of them gaining a shot at acting; I am happy for them that they get to taste something different and that MMA has opened new doors. Gina Carano is the newest MMA fighter to gain access in to the movie biz. However, she is not entering in on the 'B' movie train like her...

New movies: The best, and one of the worst, comedies of the year
2009-09-03 17:22:00 Do not do not do not do not see "All About Steve," a terrible, stupid and offensive comedy that does no favors for Sandra Bullock or Bradley Cooper. However, while my colleague Geoff Berkshire wasn't as hot on it, I say that "Extract" is funnier than any movie this year, with a rhythm that's both laid-back and exhilarating, delivering big laughs throughout the entire film. My quick take is below. Read it and let me know what you think of this week's comedies!'Extract'****1/2 (out of five)The year's funniest movie by about 100 laughs, writer-director Mike Judge's "Extract" runs huge, hilarious circles around "Office Space."

A Big Ten Football Tribute to John Hughes and his Movies
2009-08-11 18:54:00 John Hughes was a genius, a one of a kind talent who blessed the world with comedic gems such as Ferris Bueller's Day Off, National Lampoon's Vacation, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Mr. Mom, Planes, Trains & Automobiles, Home Alone, Uncle Buck and more.Sadly, Hughes left the world prematurely after dying of a heart attack at age 59 just a few short days ago. The writer/producer/director had ties with the city of Chicago, and the people who lived there loved him like they love deep dish pizza, the Wrigley Field ivy, Ozzie Guillen's potty mouth and Big Ten football.That's where this piece comes in - to provide a Big Ten football tribute to the passing of...
