  1. 'Roll Bounce'

    Teen pictures in which kids square off in a competition form a genre unto themselves, yet the warm and wise "Roll Bounce" confounds all expectations. Writer Norman Vance Jr. and director Malcolm D. Lee dare to suggest that winning may not be everything, that a father-and-son relationship may actually be more important than a skate-off, and that it's possible to set a film in 1978 without drowning it in nostalgia and dated fads. "Roll Bounce" sports Afros and bell-bottoms yet doesn't overdo them and always has the feeling of happening in the here and now.

  2. 'Baadasssss!'

    Back in 1971 Melvin Van Peebles, already one of the first black directors to have had a film in general release with "Watermelon Man" the year before, scorched screens across America with "Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song," a surreal odyssey in which Van Peebles played a pimp on the lam after becoming involved in the killing of a brutal cop.

  3. Movie review: 'Holes'

    Chicago Tribune Movie Writer
    2 stars (out of 4) How does a movie called "Holes" manage to have no center? That's one mystery this adaptation of Louis Sachar's popular older-kids novel doesn't address. The movie is all over the place, jumping around in time, place and tone. I haven'...

  4. 'Holes'

    His Nobel Prize for literature notwithstanding, Yiddish author Isaac Bashevis Singer was passionate about the satisfactions of writing for young people. Children, he once explained, will not read something just because the New York Times tell them to. Children will read only something they like.

  5. Movie review: 'Walking Tall'

    Tribune staff reporter
    2 stars (out of 4) In the movies as in life, is vigilante justice really justice? That's the question that plagued me throughout "Walking Tall," a remake of the 1973 hit movie of the same name, which spun off into two sequels and a television series....
