  1. 'Arthur Christmas': How spare heir to Santa's throne saved the holiday — 3 stars

    Five years ago, the Bristol, England-based Aardman animation folks — who created the stop-motion legends Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep and therefore are eligible for sainthood — made the digitally animated British/American co-production "Flushed Away." Jampacked with peril, if not with charm, the film had both eyes on a crossover American audience that never materialized.

  2. Toronto's Hollywood juggernaut can't swamp indie pleasures

    In "Argo," one of the leanest satisfactions of this year's massive Toronto International Film Festival, director and star Ben Affleck anchors a movie based on the true story about how Central Intelligence Agency operative Tony Mendez faked his way into Iran following the 1979 hostage crisis posing as a film producer scouting locations for a Canadian science-fiction film called "Argo." Under that cover story, Mendez engineered the rescue of six American hostages, themselves posing as part of the fake film crew.

  3. Partnership outlives romance for 'Celeste and Jesse' writers

    The vinegary romantic comedy "Celeste and Jesse Forever" took half-a-forever to get financed and made, as so many films do. Rashida Jones of "Parks and Recreation" co-stars with Andy Samberg. With her longtime best friend and, briefly, early on, two-to-three-week boyfriend, actor Will McCormack, Jones co-wrote the script about a young couple whose divorce is a stated fact at the beginning of the movie. The rest of the story deals with the rest of the story — the uneasy post-split friendship, the ties they refuse to sever, all in the sunny, slightly nervous realm of Los Angeles County.

  4. Steve Jobs' approach a lesson for Broadway's 'Motown'

    In 2011, Nick Bilton of The New York Times asked Walter Isaacson, the biographer of Steve Jobs, an interesting question: "Did he try to control what you wrote in the book?"

  5. Ebertfest: Poignant tribute to late founder

    CHAMPAIGN — Film festivals — festivals themselves, let alone films — are rarely as poignant as the one unfolding right now in this college town. The 15th Annual Roger Ebert’s Film Festival began Wednesday without its founder, who died two weeks ago. Earlier in the evening, an hour or so before the opening-night gala, Chaz Ebert, his widow, told a reception at the University of Illinois’ president’s home that every year after Ebertfest, on their way back to Chicago, the couple would write down movies to show next time. Before he died, Roger left her a long list, of dozens of movies to show.

  7. An improbably happy ending for Rodriguez

    A lovely film about a Detroit singer-songwriter robbed of musical fame but rewarded with a second chance decades later, at age 70, "Searching for Sugar Man" tells a story of serendipity and just deserts. If it were fiction, it'd be improbable fiction. But it's fact, and the documentary (opening Aug. 10 in Chicago) made by a first-time Swedish filmmaker is introducing an international audience to a man called Sixto Rodriguez.

  8. For film fest, is 'good enough' good enough?

    My own feelings about the Chicago festival, the 48th edition of which concluded Thursday, are necessarily shaped by individual taste as well as equally subjective notions of relevance. Does the event matter? Is it as vital as it could be, should be? Tough queries, tougher to answer.
    Is the Chicago International Film Festival good, good enough or not quite that? This is the question. This is the question to be asked of any festival, every perennial cultural mainstay in every city. It's the way to keep us all honest, whatever dog we...

    CANNES, France — Here’s why the world’s greatest film festival, the one on the Cote d’Azur, means something, and to some filmmakers means everything — even if a lot of the surrounding movies are lame.
