  2. Al Pacino and his 'Stand Up Guys' among the stars slotted for CIFF

    With its founder Michael Kutza nearing his half-century mark as leader, the Chicago International Film Festival <a href="http://www.chicagofilmfestival.com/films_and_schedule/movies.php">announced its 48th edition slate</a> Thursday. Heavily concentrated, as it has been in recent years, at the downtown AMC River East 21 multiplex, the juried festival (main competition jury president to be named later) runs Oct. 11-25 and opens with the world premiere of "Stand Up Guys," an autumnal mob comedy featuring Al Pacino, Christopher Walken, Alan Arkin and Julianna Margulies.

  3. 'Won't Back Down' gets a D+ for a public school polemic ★ 1/2

    Bored and visibly sneering as she fiddles with her cellphone while sitting at her desk, the grade school teacher barely takes notice of the sweet young girl challenged by learning disabilities. The student stands nervously before the blackboard, struggling to read a sentence aloud. The other students mock her, cruelly. The teacher tacitly encourages the mockery. She is union-protected mediocrity incarnate, and she may as well be shown tying the student to a railroad track, Snidely Whiplash-style.

  5. 'Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close': Post-9/11 film milks viewer emotions with impunity -- 1 1/2 stars

    "Extremely Loud &amp; Incredibly Close" transforms the carnage and unruly grief of Sept. 11, 2001, known to its preteen Upper West Side Manhattan protagonist as "The Worst Day," into an occasion for interborough healing and emotional encounters of the cheapest kind. If actors this good cannot overcome their material, then we can only say: Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock &hellip; Max von Sydow, Zoe Caldwell, Viola Davis, Jeffrey Wright, John Goodman&hellip; thanks for your honest efforts in the service of a fundamentally dishonest weepie.

  6. Viola Davis plots a career, not just for herself

    Viola Davis has won two Tony Awards for her Juilliard-trained stage work in the August Wilson plays "King Hedley II" and "Fences." She has been Oscar-nominated twice, first for a supporting role in "Doubt," more recently for a much larger role, in "The Help." Playing the African-American domestic, Aibileen, in that hit brought her much acclaim and no little amount of grief, Davis told me the other day by phone. She's coming to Chicago Monday to pick up a career achievement award from the Chicago International Film Festival.

  9. 'Beautiful Creatures'

    Aiming to be the next "Twilight," director Richard LaGravenese's ("P.S. I Love You") take on the best-seller by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl doesn't quite get there, but it still has striking visuals and a very strong supporting cast. Alice Englert...

  12. Abigail Breslin at 16 is no longer a 'Little Miss'

    Abigail Breslin isn't Hollywood's Little Miss Sunshine anymore. Actually, it'd be wrong to classify her as little miss <em>anything </em>these days, seeing as she is now the nearly adult version of that adorable little girl from the quirky comedy.
