  1. Sydney Pollack on "The Sopranos:" An Appreciation

    The TV Zone
    I have searched high and I have searched low for clips of the one appearance of the great Sydney Pollack on "The Sopranos" - almost exactly a year ago, which was perhaps his last TV acting appearance. But alas,......

  2. A Clockwork Orange (and blue)

    On the Mets beat
    I wonder if Jerry Manuel is getting his motivational ideas from Stanley Kubrick. Remember that scene in "A Clockwork Orange" where Malcom McDowell is strapped to his chair with his eyes pulled open and forced to watch a non-stop propaganda......

  3. Words, images, music, courtesy of Bert Stern

    The soul-filling and gorgeous concert film "Jazz on a Summer's Day," shot during the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival, started out as something else — a fiction feature, with jazz and Newport, R.I., as the backdrops, according to photographer and...

  4. 'Room 237' review: A really good movie about a really dense movie

    <strong>***1/2 (out of four)</strong>
    ***1/2 (out of four) Perhaps you won’t buy every theory in “Room 237,” a documentary collecting several extensive analyses of Stanley Kubrick’s take on Stephen King’s “The Shining”—a movie no one’s...

  5. 'Shining' students dissect object of their obsession in 'Room 237' ★★★

    We are nothing without our obsessions, and Rodney Ascher's "This American Life"-ish documentary "Room 237" intertwines the obsessive, often risible theories of five very big fans of Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining."
    We are nothing without our obsessions, and Rodney Ascher's "This American Life"-ish documentary "Room 237" intertwines the obsessive, often risible theories of five very big fans of Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining." Take it one of two ways. One: It's a...

  6. The man behind the people who know the story behind 'The Shining'

    You know the Calumet Baking Powder cans in Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining"? You know &mdash; the <em>Calumet</em> Baking cans? Lining the pantry of the film's Overlook Hotel? No, no: The baking cans behind all the carnage! Right, <em>those</em> baking cans. What's that, you didn't notice those cans, red and white, with the familiar Indian-headdress logo, what with all the rivers of blood and the axe-wielding and the bug-eyed Shelley Duvalls?

  7. Movie secrets are there, in the script!

    You know what "Star Wars" is about? I mean, <em>really</em> about? Vietnam. It's a critical allegory of the war: The Rebels are the scrappy Viet Cong, hastily assembled, devoted and relentless; the Empire is the American military, tripped up by an enemy using guerrilla tactics and inferior weaponry. Oh, there's more here, but...

  8. Music Box festival celebrates 70mm projection

    It's how a lot of us got hooked on movies in the first place. When I was 8 or 9 I saw "2001: A Space Odyssey" in 70 mm in Milwaukee with my mother. My memory's fuzzy on the particulars but I recall asking so many questions about the obelisk on the drive back to Racine, she had to pull over and compose herself for a minute and, as the tears streamed down her cheeks, she said quietly: "Michael, I just ... have no idea." It didn't matter. I'd never seen anything like it, and the Star Child never looked bigger, or scarier, or better.

  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. Bells are ringing, effectively, in films of today and of yore

    It's not much of a movie, but in the Duplass brothers' "Jeff, Who Lives at Home" a misdialed phone number &mdash; Mis-tapped? Mis-punched? Who dials anymore, anyway? &mdash; gets the bonged-out dreamer played by Jason Segel thinking he was contacted for a reason. He's already obsessed with the M. Night Shyamalan film "Signs." Surely this must be a sign as well.

  11. Horror movies: Halloween's sweet spot

    I do like horror movies ¿ just not the kind with umpteen sequels
    Countdown to Halloween: five days. I don't like wearing costumes, I'm not into haunted houses, candy corn is too sweet, and I prefer pumpkin pie to pumpkin carvings. But I do like horror movies — just not the kind with umpteen sequels. I saw...

  12. Madonna full of fresh pop at United Center

    It was a concert that opened with an act of contrition and closed with a robed church choir paving the road to a celebration. In between there was fake blood, pretend guns, the return of the infamous conical bra, whiffs of sadomasochism and poison-tipped political commentary, as well as allusions to the pop art of Roy Lichtenstein, movies by Oliver Stone and Stanley Kubrick, Brecht-Weil cabaret, Asian mysticism, Cirque du Soleil-style tightrope acrobatics, and Basque folk music.
