  1. Q&A: Kate Hudson, Riz Ahmed of 'The Reluctant Fundamentalist'

    In the political drama "The Reluctant Fundamentalist," Changez (Riz Ahmed) transitions from a financial hotshot in 2001 New York to a man suspected of being a terrorist in 2011 Lahore, Pakistan.

    THEATER REVIEW: "The Magic Parlour" by House Theatre at the Palmer House Hilton ★★★ ... In decades past, the hotels of downtown Chicago were full of after-hours entertainment. There were glamorous cabarets, variety acts and intimate soirees on offer.

  4. Caribbean odyssey a harrowing and humorous tale

    THEATER REVIEW: 'Jamaica, Farewell' at Chopin Theatre ★★★ ... "Jamaica, Farewell," which has arrived here from Los Angeles, is a different kind of international show, but one just as potent and revealing of global forces as a window into some distant land.
    "Jamaica, Farewell" a show title with a judiciously placed comma but very little in the way of a set or other trappings, is one woman's first-person story of her determination to leave the Caribbean island of her birth and find her way to a new life in...

  5. Chicago volunteer organizations spread literacy

    More than five years ago, in a colorful classroom at Michael Faraday Elementary School in a harsh area on Chicago's West Side, three women and their three dogs were helping a group of second--graders learn to read. They were volunteers for an organization called Sit Stay Read! which for a decade has been bringing the joys of reading to little kids, using dogs as a tool.

  6. Interview: RZA head over heels for directing

    Any rapper can star in a movie, but starring, directing, co-writing and co-scoring a studio film? Even for a man who calls directors Quentin Tarantino and Eli Roth friends, that&rsquo;s almost unheard of within the hip-hop world. And yet, it&rsquo;s no surprise <span class="bold" style="text-align: justify; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;">RZA</span> (real name: Robert Fitzgerald Diggs) would want to test that mostly uncharted territory.

  8. Must menu choices be so difficult?

    A year or so ago, not long before chef Ryan McCaskey opened Acadia in the South Loop, he began thinking about what his soon-to-be restaurant might serve at brunch. A lifelong Deadhead, he was traveling around the country, following what remains of the Grateful Dead, eating far more breakfasts and brunches than he typically does as a workaday Chicago chef: "I guess I had never thought much about how regional breakfast can be &mdash; how in the South, you'll find lots of sweets, biscuits in the morning, then in San Francisco, things get ultra-handmade and inventive, lots of pastries. I ate this blueberry muffin that probably weighed like 2 pounds."

  9. 'Mob Wives Chicago' trailer debuts, CM Punk featured on video game cover, celeb-heavy crowd watches LMFAO perform at Studio Paris

    For a minute there, I was wondering if there would be any fighting among the cast members of VH1&rsquo;s upcoming reality show, &ldquo;Mob Wives Chicago.&rdquo; There were no signs of tension when <a href="http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2012-03-12/entertainment/chi-interview-mob-wives-chicago-20120312_1_jennifer-graziano-mob-wives-newport-bar-grill">I spent an afternoon observing the five women in March</a> and there has been even less drama on Twitter, where the cast members frequently send each other friendly tweets.

  10. Shia LaBeouf films movie in Wicker Park, Pitbull appearing at Walgreens, Jenny McCarthy moving to Chicago

    I knew <strong>Shia LaBeouf</strong> had been spotted around Chicago multiple times over the last few days, but I couldn&rsquo;t figure out why exactly the &ldquo;Transformers&rdquo; and &ldquo;Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull&rdquo; star was here &ndash; that is until I happened to pass by him on my way home late Wednesday night.
