  1. Milk: an inspiration

    Not often is there a man like Harvey Milk.
    American Heritage
    Not often is there a man like Harvey Milk. Milk, the first openly gay individual to be elected to public office in the United States, was a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors from 1977 until he was assassinated by Dan White, a fellow...

  2. 'Milk': More about the man than the martyr

    Tribune critic
    The story of Harvey Milk is a tragedy, but not since Jeff Spicoli in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" has Sean Penn played such a serenely happy individual. It does an actor good to play a joyous character. In "Milk," Penn is superb as the martyred San...

  3. Review: Miami City Ballet performs Twyla Tharp and Elvis Costello's 'Nightspot'

    Here's a suggestion: Let's ditch the nightclub as a setting for ballet. No more predictable tales about the trials of courtship or the ballroom as a metaphor for life.

  4. Movie review: The Nightmare Before Christmas -- 5 out of 5 stars

    Orlando Sentinel Movie Critic
    Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas -- Tim Burton's vision, Henry Selick's 1993 movie -- is a masterpiece. A work of grand visual wit, clever songs, funny gags and genuine pathos, it is perhaps the greatest stop-motion animated film ever, a...

  6. Composer Danny Elfman on music, books and 'The Daily Show'

    COMPOSER Danny Elfman has slipped his way into our collective subconscious by creating the scores to numerous films, including the blockbusters " Spider-Man," "Mission: Impossible" and "Men in Black," as well as the themes to " The Simpsons" and " Desperate Housewives."

  7. 'Wanted': stars Angelina Jolie, James McAvoy and Morgan Freeman--filmed in Chicago

    It'll be fun, up to a point, for Chicago audiences to see "Wanted." Russian director Timur Bekmambetov, who's now shooting the third in his "Night Watch" trilogy, filmed parts of his adaptation of the "Wanted" comic books on location in Wrigleyville, the Loop and other settings, and the results make our poor, beleaguered CTA trains look like they can fly like the wind. Can you imagine an action sequence involving the "L" where the train moved at its actual top speed? The stunt people would die of boredom.

  8. Incubus guitarist Mike Einziger's 'End. > vacuum' to premiere at UCLA's Royce Hall

    As the guitarist for hard-edged pop-rock band Incubus, Mike Einziger has headlined arenas and festivals around the world. But standing in a rehearsal room at Los Angeles Valley College in front of an assembly of trained musicians gearing up to perform his "End.>vacuum," an ambitious "Realization in Nine Movements" that will have its premiere today at UCLA's Royce Hall, he seems, well, nervous.

  9. Mamma mia! Movie lovers can fill MP3s with the hits

    Special to the Chicago Tribune
    Blockbuster season may be winding down, but the soundtrack for one of this summer's movies has scaled the top spot on the Billboard 200 chart as it ends. The never-going-to-let-you-go " Mamma Mia!" is the first soundtrack to claim the top spot since...

  10. In defense of 'Planet of the Apes'

    ICAN'T claim to have gone ape over the "Planet of the Apes," but I liked it when I first saw it in the late '60s. The music by Jerry Goldsmith was quirky and strikingly modern. I have a soft spot for Charlton Heston. The screenplay, in part by Rod Serling, is subversively anti-establishment, which went down well at the time. I'm a sucker for masks, and the monkey makeup, I thought, inspired provocative acting.

  11. How Twyla Tharp's moves met Danny Elfman's music

    AN EXPANSIVE new work from one of the world's leading choreographers, set to an original score by a high-profile composer making his first foray into the world of dance -- this is hardly American Ballet Theatre's usual fare these days. The multi-part programs that once were the troupe's standard offerings have given way for the most part to full-evening narrative works, especially for touring engagements, as presenters prefer to play things safe.

  12. The 'Boy' is back, in a sequel with bite

    I can barely keep up with the mythology put forth by the "Hellboy" series, but I enjoyed the first film, and I enjoyed the new one. The best scene in "Hellboy II: The Golden Army," writer-director Guillermo Del Toro's sequel to his comic book adaptation "Hellboy," involves tooth fairies. These are not the sort of tooth fairies you want 'round your pillow at night. These tooth fairies eat teeth, and conjured by an underworld prince hellbent on taking over the planet, they provide cigar-chomping tough guy Hellboy and his team from the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense with some formidable opposition.
