  1. At Chicago Shakespeare, asking why Timon wrote those checks

    THEATER REVIEW: "Timon of Athens" at Chicago Shakespeare Theater ★★½ ... Few realizations are as painful as the one that comes to a previously generous person, fallen on hard times and made suddenly aware that kindness is neither reciprocal nor ubiquitous.
    Few realizations are as painful in life as the one that comes to a previously generous person, fallen on hard times and made suddenly and brutally aware that the quality of kindness among homo sapiens is neither reciprocal nor ubiquitous. That's...

    This year's Tony Awards had no host, no comedian; I forgot to check if there was even red carpet coverage beforehand.
    Times Staff Writer
    This year's Tony Awards had no host, no comedian; I forgot to check if there was even red carpet coverage beforehand. Was there? Was Ryan Seacrest out there, terrorizing some Royal Shakespearean with his E! voodoo mumbo jumbo? I'm not even sure why...

  6. Movie review: "Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace"

    Tribune Movie Critic
    3 ½ stars (out of 4) "Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace," like many another pop movie phenomena, becomes many things as we watch it: a vast science fiction epic and a huge moving-picture toy catalog. A twisted family saga of mock-Elizabethan...

  7. Movie review: 'Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith'

    Tribune movie critic
    4 stars (out of 4) The climax for George Lucas' entire "Star Wars" series comes in a blaze of fire and darkness, wild light-saber battles and enough Sturm, Drang and digital pyrotechnics to fill multiplexes from here to Tatooine. Like some grand,...

  9. 'Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones'

    We'll never see another "Star Wars," no matter how much we want to. And we want to very much.
    Times Staff Writer
    We'll never see another "Star Wars," no matter how much we want to. And we want to very much. But like the cherished passions of first love, the fervor called forth by the landmark film is never coming back, and no amount of prequels or sequels is...

  10. 'Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace'

    Over the 20-plus years since its release, George Lucas' "Star Wars" has influenced so many lives that the writer-director's friend Francis Ford Coppola suggested, more or less seriously, that he turn its philosophy into an organized religion.

  12. Movie review, 'Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones' by the Mark Caro
