The Chicago Film Archives summer residency at the Dorchester Project looks to be among the more interesting feats of film programming in a summer with no shortage of interesting things to see. more ›

More than a few blockbuster movies that have been filmed in Chicago. Last summer, Transformers invaded the Loop, but the new Superman movie will stay largely in the burbs when filming starts later this summer in and around the Chicago area. more ›

We wonder if they are re-thinking that whole "ten nominees for best picture" thing this year. Not that there weren't some excellent fare and a few late comers here in December, but 2010 was mostly a down year for new movies.

His unflappability extends even to sequences where he interviews his brother's killer in prison. It's a horse of a different color compared to daytime TV. more ›
