  1. 'Man on a Ledge': Myriad improbabilities ground this heist film -- 2 stars

    A man edges along the 21st-story ledge of a midtown New York City hotel. He's an ex-cop and a convicted thief on the lam, straight out of Sing Sing, and he's threatening suicide. Sam Worthington, of"Avatar" and"Clash of the Titans," plays this character, Nick Cassidy, and it is odd to see Worthington on a precipice without winged beasts or blue friendlies buzzing about his head. The only thing buzzing in "Man on a Ledge" are little gnats of narrative improbability.

  3. 'Avatar' star Sam Worthington coming to Chicago, 'Shameless' ratings up, Wu-Tang members dine at Joe's

    “Avatar” and “Clash of the Titans” star Sam Worthington will visit Chicago on Wednesday to promote his upcoming heist thriller “Man on a Ledge.”  The 35-year-old actor will meet with media to discuss “Man on a Ledge,” but will not make any public appearances, as far as I know.

  4. Where Conan O'Brien has been spotted, Channing Tatum coming to Chicago, Brett Favre taking part in Grant Park football game

    <strong>Conan O&rsquo;Brien</strong> has been easy to spot around Chicago -- and not just because he&rsquo;s 6&rsquo;4 and has hard-to-miss red hair. The Los Angeles-based talk show host has been out and about in the city while here filming &ldquo;Conan&rdquo; at the Chicago Theatre, part of the TBS Just For Laughs comedy festival.

  5. 'People Like Us' review: Hopefully there's no you in 'Us'

    <strong>** (out of four)</strong>
    ** (out of four) Close the nominations. Contest over. The worst musical score of 2012 goes to “People Like Us,” which delivers such manipulative twinkle-twinkle-jangle-string-section compositions that even the few moments of this melodrama...

  6. 'The Hunger Games' adaptation hits the target ✭✭✭

    The hypocrisy at the heart of "The Hunger Games" is irresistible. Novelist Suzanne Collins, whose trilogy has been decreed "awesome" by, among others, my 5th grade son, indicts violence and organized brutality as tools of mass-audience manipulation. Yet "The Hunger Games" wouldn't have gotten very far without its steady supply of threatened or actual gladiatorial teen-on-teen bloodshed: death by arrow, javelin, genetically engineered wasp, plus knives. And land mines. And fearsome dogs, conjured by the dogs of the totalitarian state.

  10. Video/Q&A: Elizabeth Banks of 'People Like Us'

    Even in small roles, Elizabeth Banks often has a major impact on her movies. Consider her memorable, unbridled scene in &ldquo;The 40-Year-Old Virgin,&rdquo; in which she teaches Steve Carell&rsquo;s character about the, uh, talents of a handheld showerhead, or the fact that the romantic trajectory of &ldquo;Wet Hot American Summer&rdquo; results largely from Banks&rsquo; character tasting like a burger.

  12. 'The Hunger Games' review: Hype, consider yourself mostly justified

    I read <a href="http://www.suzannecollinsbooks.com/" target="_blank">Suzanne Collins'</a> addictive, massively popular novel "The Hunger Games" so compulsively that the pages feared my fingers. Any filmmaker would be challenged to similarly create scene after scene that sparks craving for the next.
