Pure Carnage, All Night Long
By Scott Gordon

Filming at the Edge of the World
By Marilyn Ferdinand
The Chicago International Film Festival seemed like a festival in flux this year, but it's still an underappreciated treasure, and an especially gratifying one when foreign-born residents of the city come out to see a movie in their native language.Posted on October 23, 2006
Guest Stars
By Marilyn Ferdinand
Meeting the creators behind such works as Night of the Living Dorks and Learning to Swallow may be the best thing about attending film festivals, and even the most modest fans of the cinema should avail themselves of the chance to do so.Posted on October 22, 2006
Barista! Back in the Grind
By Maude Perkins
I explained that anytime you put something in your mouth - or even get in your car to drive to the local coffee shop - you are putting your life at risk. And I warned him not to sue. Problem solved.Posted on October 21, 2006
Love and the Dirty Old Man
By Marilyn Ferdinand
Peter O'Toole plays a character very close to himself, an elderly actor of renown, who takes one more shot at love with a barely legal girl.Posted on October 21, 2006
The Chicago Way

The Elusive Quality of Truthiness
By Marilyn Ferdinand

Boot Straps and Black Boys

Barista! Our Ennobling Mission
By Maude Perkins
I don't know what utopian coffee village employs our trainer, but my observation to the class was that not everyone wants to have their day enriched by a chipper barista; especially not the pre-caffeinated majority that is our customer base.Posted on October 16, 2006
Deep in the Heart of Dixie
By Marilyn Ferdinand
The Dixie Chicks show us that some all-American girls from the South are liberal and can distrust and dislike the government. This is educational for both the super-patriots from country music's stronghold states and liberals in other parts of the country who look at the South as the land of rednecks.Posted on October 13, 2006
Cab #5884
The driver seemed a risk-averse sort until he tried to deliver me to an El train already waiting at its station. Then we had a little fun.Posted on October 11, 2006
Barista! Tales From the Coffee Front
By Maude Perkins
The pastry case looked a little weak, my manager said. Maybe we ought to do something about it. We meant me.Posted on October 9, 2006
A Talent for Torment
By Marilyn Ferdinand
It sucks to be young. In three parts.Posted on October 9, 2006
Soul In Flames
By Marilyn Ferdinand
In Requiem, an extraordinary movie about the real-life exorcism of a German girl, a director asks his presumably skeptical audience to suspend judgement. It works.Posted on October 8, 2006
Corruption and Comedy
By Marilyn Ferdinand
Greedy, stupid, condescending men are lining their pockets with taxpayer money in countries all over the world. The Piranha is out to stop them.Posted on October 7, 2006
Better Than Fiction
By Marilyn Ferdinand
Dustin Hoffman is deserving of honor, but unfortunately his latest work will open as the new Will Ferrell movie.Posted on October 5, 2006
Life at Work
By J. Bird
Remember the Clinton years when you could lose your job and have a new one five minutes later? Sigh.Posted on October 5, 2006
Starbucks City
By The Beachwood Coffee Affairs Desk
Starbucks announced plans to build 250 more Starbucks' in Chicago. We figured out where.Posted on October 3, 2006
