Movie review: 'Dreamgirls'
Tribune movie critic3 stars (out of four) "Dreamgirls" is performed, shot, edited and packaged like a coming-attractions trailer for itself. Ordinarily that would be enough to sink a film straight off, unless you're a fan of "Moulin Rouge." But this one's a good time....Tags: Music Theater, Beyonce, Broadway Theater, Bars and Clubs, The Supremes (music group)

Movie review: 'Barnyard'
Tribune movie critic3 stars (out of four) "Barnyard" comes to us under the Nickelodeon Movies banner, with all the lippy attitude a film derived from the squalling, kidcentric TV network implies.

Movie review: Manderlay'

A sequel to his 2003 all-American noir "Dogville " and the second part of a...Tags: George W. Bush, Spike Lee, Music Theater, Theater, Crime, Law and Justice

Movie review: 'Shooter'
Tribune movie critic2 stars (out of four) "Shooter" feeds on a global audience's cynicism regarding the evil that men do in the name of freedom and for a good price on crude oil.

'Shooter'
