  1. Ebert and Siskel: Partners shared unique relationship

    This is a feature story from 1999. At the time, Sid Smith was a Tribune Arts Critic.   On the day of Gene Siskel's funeral, Time magazine film critic Richard Schickel suggested that the on-air chemistry between Siskel and Roger Ebert defied analysis....

  3. 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!"

  4. '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.

  5. 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.

  6. 'Cat in Paris' is an elegant thriller about an elegant ... cat ★★★ 1/2

    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.

  7. 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.

  9. 'The Turin Horse': An anecdote transforms into the story of a life ✭✭✭ 1/2

    Since its premiere at the Berlin international film festival, Hungarian filmmaker Bela Tarr's latest and (so he has suggested) final feature,"The Turin Horse,"has been widely characterized as a grim slab of miserablism. Well. Maybe. It's no "Shop Around the Corner." But what about it retains the mysterious capacity to leave some of us feeling cinematically revived?

  11. 'Chico & Rita' animated by the spirit of Cuban jazz stars ✭✭✭✭

    "Rango"probably has the animated feature Academy Award in the bag, but the film that deserves it? A wonderful Spanish-British co-production called "Chico &amp; Rita," making its Chicago debut for a week's run at the Gene Siskel Film Center.

    Geek To Me
    When I was a young teen, one of my favorite shows on television was At the Movies, the movie review show starring film-critic Roger Ebert and his late partner Gene Siskel.  It was one of the most compelling things on television to me. I was convinced that...
