  4. Revolution on the screen, on the ground in 'I Am Cuba'

    From 1964, a time when the world seemed ready to accommodate 33 revolutions per minute, the film "I Am Cuba" boasts some single-take shots so boggling, the following phrases showed up in my notebook: "How did they <em>do</em> that? A three-story-high tracking shot <em>above</em> a revolutionary martyr's funeral parade?!?" And: "Camera travels <em>down</em> the outside of the building, then noses in on Western scum drinking Bacardi by the pool, and then <em>into</em> the water!"

  5. 'Consuming Spirits': SAIC professor crafts an epic labor of love ★★★★

    There's a billboard depicted in Chris Sullivan's animated wonder "Consuming Spirits" advertising beer that promises "the taste that haunts the lips." The same goes for the film. You've likely never tasted anything quite like it.

    As they say, everyone has an opinion. But not all those insights are created equal. Back in 2007, yours truly anointed Simon Cowell "America's critic in chief." The thought at the time was with the "Siskel & Ebert" team over and Richard Roeper holding...

  7. In new film, actor Fry ponders his conflicted love affair with Wagner's music

    Stephen Fry was all of 11 when his grandfather played him a recording of Richard Wagner's "Tannhauser" Overture. For the boy who grew up to become a distinguished British actor on stage, in television and film ("Wilde," "Gosford Park"), it proved to be a life-changing experience, releasing forces deep within, he says, such as he had not experienced before or since.

  8. City Lights: Turning on new 'Lights'

    This column has moved but will not require a new name. "City Lights" — I originally thought of that title as a play on the city editor position. Now, as I move into the features editor spot, I'm reminded of from where else the inspiration came....

    Old-school animation that does not traffic in photorealistic backgrounds or attempt to place the audience in three dimensions may not be tearing up the multiplexes.

    <strong>*1/2 (out of four)</strong>
    *1/2 (out of four) To each their own and all, but the Chicago-made romantic comedy “Qwerty” possesses a pretty warped perception of behavior that could be regarded as charming. When Scrabble devotee Zoe (Dana Pupkin) calls her boyfriend...

  11. Reese Witherspoon honored at Gene Siskel Film Center gala

    Alexander Payne wasn&rsquo;t the obvious choice to host the Gene Siskel Film Center&rsquo;s &ldquo;An Evening With Reese Witherspoon&rdquo; on Saturday at the Ritz-Carlton hotel, but the director and screenwriter best known for &ldquo;Sideways&rdquo; and &ldquo;The Descendants&rdquo; &mdash; neither of which starred Witherspoon &mdash; can say one thing about the Oscar-winning actress that few in Hollywood can: He knew her before she was famous. Well, A-list famous.
