  1. Roots of some giant problems in 'Jack the Giant Slayer' ★★

    Most modern fantasy adventures are distinguished, if that's the right word, by shot after shot of actors gaping at amazements — beanstalks busting out of the ground, for example, or flaming trees being flung as weapons at the king's castle — along with actors running away yelling "Look out!" or "Aaaggghhhhh!!!" while being pursued, say, by a digitally animated giant with two heads. The movies have been into such trickery across the medium's entire life span, back to Georges Melies. It's simply a matter of the method.

  2. 'The Chronicles of Narnia': A Great Series For Kids

    I really, really cherish reading with the boys, even though they have become voracious readers on their own.  We started reading "classics" together when they were small:  "Peter Pan", "Wind in the Willows" and "Stuart Little".  In recent years, we were ethralled by the entire Harry Potter series and loved experiencing the adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, huddled together on the white couch in the living room.  We laugh at silly parts and discuss complex chapters until we figure them out and talk about the characters we identify with the most.

  3. "The Hobbit": Book Vs. Movie

    All right, I realize that this blog post is about a month too late...but, we got it into our heads to read J.R.R Tolkien's classic before we headed to the movie theater to see the new-ish 3D extravaganza...yet we didn't have this brilliant idea until the movie came out....hence, the delay.

  4. 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' review: Also known as 'A Long Way to Go'

    *1/2 (out of four) After the 12 endings that wrapped up 2003’s Best Picture-winning “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King,” Peter Jackson could have parted with J.R.R. Tolkien adaptations and gone out on top. Alas. The...

  5. Bringing A Children's Book To Life

    Over the last nine years of motherhood, I have had so many important moments with my boys thanks to books.  When they were little, we would snuggle together and read board books until the pages were worn.  In fact, I recently put a bin of these in the attic, unable to give them away just yet.

  7. When movies feel like TV

    Last month after a screening, even as the lights came up in the theater, I could feel "Zero Dark Thirty" fading, its images and impact already softening in my head. No, no, wait: not fading &mdash; <em>mingling</em>. If our cultural experiences rub shoulders at a kind of cocktail party in our brains, then "Zero Dark Thirty," as soon as we were done chatting, as much I admired its company, slipped away quietly into the cultural crush.

  8. To the screen, and back again

    I'm 51 and Bilbo-free. Somehow "The Hobbit" has eluded me my entire reading life. What was I reading in junior high when I first noticed everyone else was reading it? "Big A: The Story of Lew Alcindor," maybe. Or William K. Everson's book on Laurel &...

  10. Richard Wagner: Separating the man from the music

    "Just because he may have been a nasty little man and a nasty anti-Semite doesn't mean that his music is not as supreme as it is."
    "Just because he may have been a nasty little man and a nasty anti-Semite doesn't mean that his music is not as supreme as it is." That assessment comes from a Richard Wagner scholar in the documentary "Wagner & Me" (at the Siskel Film Center through...

  12. This side of 'Paradise,' with Echols, Davis

    "I really do believe these people would have gotten away with murdering me if it would not have been for what you guys did &mdash; for being there in the beginning and getting this whole thing on tape so the rest of the world sees what's happening." That's Damien Echols, talking to filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky a couple of years ago when they visited him in prison for the most recent installment of "Paradise Lost," their HBO documentary series about the West Memphis Three that aired last year.
