  1. 'War of the Worlds'

    As a boy growing up in the 1950s, Steven Spielberg was always watching the skies. He experienced meteor showers with his father, enjoyed space dramas like "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and dreamed, he told friends, of being the Cecil B. DeMille of science fiction.

  2. Review: 'Lady in the Water'

    Narfs, scrunts and tartutics, Oh my!
    Zap2It.com
    Narfs, scrunts and tartutics, Oh my! M. Night Shyamalan completes his descent into utter solipsism with "Lady in the Water," a sour fairy tale that sets out to be about the value of community and magic, but ends up as the director's somber celebration of...

  3. 'Running With Scissors'

    Why is it that sometimes there's nothing like a true story to ring false? It's a question for the ages, and there's plenty of time to ponder it during Ryan Murphy's adaptation of Augusten Burroughs' bestselling memoir, which lovingly and painstakingly recounts the years Burroughs spent as the legal charge of his crazy mother's crazier psychiatrist. "I guess it doesn't matter where I begin," says the narrator, just before the movie starts. "No one is going to believe me anyway." At that point, though, there's still no reason to suspect he's right.

  5. 'The Cherry Orchard'

    Times Staff Writer
    SEE CORRECTION APPENDED When you're reading Chekhov, author-illustrator Edward Gorey once said, you wonder why you read anyone else. Michael Cacoyannis' new film of the great Russian writer's final masterpiece, "The Cherry Orchard," illustrates what...

  6. 'Cabinet' filled with dark delight

    Tribune theater critic
    The inmates of the asylum are running the puppet show, and in the comfort of your own straitjacket it's a wonderful sight to behold. Redmoon Theater's "The Cabinet," a 70-minute adaptation of the 1919 German cinematic landmark, "The Cabinet of Dr....

  7. After hours

    On stage, Andrew Bird is deadpan, impassive. He introduces his songs, fits a violin under his chin or leans into the microphone to sing, and hardly looks up. But that's just at first. Because in no time his left leg's shaking, a smile is threatening...

  8. Theater review, 'Shockheaded Peter' at the Athenaeum Theatre

    Tribune chief critic
    The English, who sent us "The Rocky Horror Show," have now brought us "Shockheaded Peter." Like "Rocky," this "Peter" is very campy, given an exaggerated performance that's part avant-garde, part Victorian melodrama, part Brechtian cabaret, part Tim...

  10. 'Lemony Snicket'

    The opening scenes of "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events" are so darkly exhilarating, so lugubriously inventive and so wittily, swooningly macabre that my first reaction, as someone who cheers at even the most tenuous allusion to author and illustrator Edward Gorey, was one of abject gratitude and delight.

  11. Movie review: 'Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events'

    TRIBUNE STAFF REPORTER
    4 stars (out of 4) Dear reader, if you've come here to read the scandalous scribblings of a disgruntled critic--made sour by endless hours stewing in a dark screening room--you've come to the wrong place. If, however, you've come here to discover how...

  12. 'Ficus' blossoms with a loony sisterhood

    Special to the Tribune
    The notion of eccentric spinster sisters living in worlds of their own creation occupies an honored place in literature, running from the tragic (the Brontes) to the grotesque (Shirley Jackson's duo in "We Have Always Lived in the Castle") to the farcical...
