  1. Ben Affleck's mission accomplished in 'Argo' ★★★ 1/2

    The propulsive hostage thriller "Argo," the third feature directed by Ben Affleck, just plain works. It's heartening to encounter a film, based on fact but happy to include all sorts of exciting fictions to amp up the suspense, whose entertainment intentions are clear. The execution is clean, sharp and rock-solid. It's as apolitical as a political crisis story set in Iran can get. But "the first rule in any deception operation is to understand who your audience is."

  7. For film fest, is 'good enough' good enough?

    My own feelings about the Chicago festival, the 48th edition of which concluded Thursday, are necessarily shaped by individual taste as well as equally subjective notions of relevance. Does the event matter? Is it as vital as it could be, should be? Tough queries, tougher to answer.
    Is the Chicago International Film Festival good, good enough or not quite that? This is the question. This is the question to be asked of any festival, every perennial cultural mainstay in every city. It's the way to keep us all honest, whatever dog we...

  8. Stars shine at film fest

    For the 48th Chicago International Film Festival's opening night Oct. 11, attendees were treated to a star-filled red carpet at the Harris Theater that included Al Pacino, Christopher Walken, Alan Arkin and Jon Bon Jovi. Academy Award-winning producer Tom Rosenberg brought his film "Stand Up Guys" to Chicago for its world premiere, and festival founder Michael Kutza couldn't have been happier. "This is a remarkable year for Chicagoans in the film industry," said Kutza. "The evening was flawless, one of our festival's proudest moments."

  9. Reel Critics: 'Argo' holds audience hostage

    It's a mark of great film-making when the retelling of history, with a known outcome, seizes us with suspense. Such is the case with "Argo," which had my heart racing within the first five minutes thanks to Ben Affleck's smart direction.

  11. Film review: 'Argo' proves that Ben Affleck is back on top

    It's hard to believe that it wasn't so long ago that Ben Affleck's career was a joke.
    Special to The Herald-Mail
    It's hard to believe that it wasn't so long ago that Ben Affleck's career was a joke. After his early success with "Good Will Hunting," he went on to become an increasingly bland leading man that critics seemed to enjoy picking apart. He was also a...

  12. Argo

    Fox 5 San Diego staff
    This is one of the best movies of the year, but it’s also a flawed film. There comes a point where all the cutesy stuff they do, and the “Arrr, go f*** yourself!” joke gets tired. That being said…I was on the edge of my seat the...
