  1. Concert review: Rhye at Schubas

    Rhye’s Mike Milosh wanted everything just so Thursday at Schubas. He had the club announce a couple of times before his set began that he was not fond of fans “speaking loudly" or exiting and entering while he performed. It wasn’t...

  2. CIMMfest takes step in bigger direction

    A festival that encompasses performances by Van Dyke Parks, Corey Harris and Lydia Loveless, movies about the Jesus Lizard, Big Star, John Fahey and the Rolling Stones, a Melvin Peebles tribute, a Wax Trax roundtable and a presentation by punk-provocateur Martin Atkins? That’s the enticing, mixed-media menu at CIMMfest, which launches its fifth year next week.

  3. Fake Shore Drive: A tastemaker of Chicago rap

    Andrew Barber deals almost exclusively with young men who have come into money. Some are newly rich; some started poor and worked their way to comfortable; and others, arguably his bread and butter, are not wealthy yet but stand to make a chunk of change. Some, he finds, and some come to him.

  4. Q&A: 'Evil Dead' star Jane Levy

    When Jane Levy told family and friends she'd star (and have a demon inhabit her) in the “Evil Dead” remake, she didn’t emphasize that she’d spend the shoot freezing in just her underwear, vomiting blood on people.

  5. Toss up a bottle for the author of 'Cocktail'

    Before it became a lucrative if critically drubbed exemplar of '80s cinematic cheese, the Tom Cruise vehicle "Cocktail" first sprang to life as a novel by Heywood Gould, who based the book on his experiences bartending throughout New York in the 1970s.

  6. SXSW 2013: For Amanda Palmer, it takes a village

    AUSTIN, Texas -- Amanda Palmer concluded her panel Wednesday at the South by Southwest Music Conference by pulling out a ukulele, bashing out a few chords and rhyming "banish evil" with "save the people."

  7. Highlights of Chicago film fest travel far from Hollywood

    In "Gimme the Loot," a loose, disarming bit of larceny — and one of the bright offerings of the 48th Chicago International Film Festival — director Adam Leon's Bronx-bred characters live to tag. Teenage graffiti artists on the run, the friends dream of the day they'll make their mark on the pop-up New York Mets home-run logo at Citi Field.

  8. SXSW 2013: Hawtin, Deadmau5 see cracks in EDM's rise

    AUSTIN, Texas -- Richie Hawtin and Joel Thomas Zimmerman, better known by his stage name Deadmau5, allowed a packed hall to eavesdrop on their conversation Tuesday at the South by Southwest Music and Media Conference. They geeked out about gear, cracked jokes, and alternately gushed about and lamented the evolution of electronic dance music. As a sort of "State of the EDM movement" summit, it was tough to top -- a fascinating glimpse into the minds of two self-described "tech nerds" who helped bring machine-driven music out of basements and underground clubs into arenas.

  10. 'Cabin in the Woods' provides snark and scares ✭✭ 1/2

    A peppy horror mash-up with existential airs, "The Cabin in the Woods"goes completely nuts in its final half-hour and is all the better for it. Writers lie about this sort of thing constantly, but according to screenwriters Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard, who cut their eyeteeth on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" among other credits, the script came together in three days, in the spirit of "Let's try <em>that</em> too."

  11. 'Starlet': Actress brings a solid pedigree to a solid indie ★★★

    In the Van Nuys, Calif.-set "Starlet," a success at this year's South by Southwest film festival, the young actress Dree Hemingway brings a sure comic touch (without shtick) to a satisfying picture. Now 25, she's the daughter of Mariel Hemingway and the great-granddaughter of Ernest. She comes from photogenic stock.
