  1. 'Falling': Here's why there aren't more plays about air disasters

    THEATER REVIEW: "Falling: A Wake" at the Rivendell Theatre ★ ... At the top of Gary Kirkham's "Falling: A Wake," the startling new show at the Rivendell Theatre, there is an almighty crash and parts of an airplane start falling out of the sky, including one of the passengers.

  2. Leslie Zemeckis sashays into the history of burlesque

    During the shabby final days of the last of the burlesque houses that once dotted State Street near Congress Parkway, three of us — in possession of a few bucks and self-confidence fueled by fake IDs — entered the Follies Theater and saw a show that featured, among long-forgotten performers, a dancer named April Showers.

  3. Anticipating the Oscars: These might contend

    My Academy Awards predictions &mdash; and honestly, why not start now, a month before the nominations are announced? &mdash; carry an odor akin to Paul Rudd's cologne in "Anchorman": 60 percent of the time, they're right<em> every</em> time.

  4. Ex-Whalers GM Emile Francis Remembers Fierce Rangers-Bruins Rivalry

    Before there was a Game 1 between the Rangers and Bruins in 1973 at Boston Garden, there was a Stanley Cup Final Game 1 between the teams there in 1972.
    The Hartford Courant
    Before there was a Game 1 between the Rangers and Bruins in 1973 at Boston Garden, there was a Stanley Cup Final Game 1 between the teams there in 1972. "The cops come into our dressing room before that game," Emile "The Cat" Francis said Wednesday from...

  5. A woman's fantasies and fears take wing in 'Amelia'

    It's heartening to see area college and university music programs taking up the slack with respect to significant recent American operas Chicago's professional opera companies have ignored. A little more than a week ago, student singers and orchestra...

  6. 'Renoir': A family of artists, lovers and rivals ★★★

    The line sounds absurdly melodramatic, but it's delivered in a steely tone. "<em>You'll end up in the old man's bed. Like my mother. Like all of them."</em> Played by a taciturn Thomas Doret, the younger son of painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir knows the score. He has seen the painter's models, with or without underthings, come and go, like so much French laundry.

  7. When our heroes are revealed to be flawed ...

    In the movie "Flight," for which Denzel Washington scored an Oscar nomination, a brilliant pilot successfully lands a catastrophically damaged plane, saving scores of lives, even though this captain was high as he sat behind the throttle. To some degree, John Gatins' Academy Award-nominated screenplay is a dark and complex riff on the Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger story, the so-called miracle on the Hudson emergency landing that saved an entire plane of people in 2009.

  8. Set an evening aside for Goodman's 'Matinee'

    John Goodman is everywhere right now. Such has been the case for this popular actor for a long time, but at the multiplexes presently he's a valuable ensemble member in two worthwhile pictures, "Argo" (in which he plays a real-life Hollywood makeup artist working, on the down-low, for the CIA) and "Flight" (he's the aiding-and-abetting drug dealer). We take character men like Goodman for granted sometimes, simply because they're never long between jobs.

  9. Chicago International Film Festival gets a digital face-lift

    The biggest changes afoot in this year's Chicago International Film Festival (CIFF), the 48th edition, are on the screen, yet they're not part of the programming. As the worldwide cinema industries push actual film &mdash; meaning celluloid &mdash; into the past or off to the hardy margins of cinephilia, digital projection has become dominant. Filmmakers and audiences can debate the aesthetics and the creative implications of such a shift.

  10. Overlooked screenplays this Oscar season

    In 1945 Raymond Chandler wrote a screed against Hollywood, and Hollywood screenwriting, for the Atlantic Monthly. "An industry with such vast resources and such magic techniques should not become dull so soon," said the man who later characterized his adopted residence to the south, La Jolla, Calif., as "nothing but a climate." In the Atlantic he vented: "An art which is capable of making all but the very best plays look trivial and contrived, all but the very best novels verbose and imitative, should not so quickly become wearisome to those who attempt to practice it with something else in mind than the cash drawer."

  11. 'Day's' end: McClane tale tapped out in final 'Die Hard' ★ 1/2

    "A Good Day to Die Hard" isn't just the weakest of the "Die Hard" pictures; it's a lousy action movie on its own terms, even without comparing it to the adored 1988 franchise launch starring Bruce Willis as John McClane, the New York cop who's a carnage magnet for all the terrorists and a supercool symbol of American might, right and muttered wisecrack.
