'Coraline' stars the voices of Dakota Fanning, Teri Hatcher, Keith David, John Hodgman, Ian McShane
!["Coraline" may not be for all tastes and it's certainly not for all kids, given its macabre premise. But writer-director Henry Selick's animated feature advances the stop-motion animation genre through that most heartening of attributes: quality. It pulls audiences into a meticulously detailed universe, familiar in many respects, wacked and menacing in many others.](http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/alternatethumbnails/story/2009-02/44896904-05120205.jpg ""Coraline\" may not be for all tastes and it's certainly not for all kids, given its macabre premise.

'Death Race': Gory fun in winner's circle
![Nothing in director Paul W.S. Anderson's schlock drawer—not "Mortal Kombat," not "Event Horizon," not "Resident Evil," not "Alien vs. Predator"—prepares you for the peppy, good-time nastiness that is "Death Race." It's a loose remake of "Death Race 2000" (1975), which imagined a bloodthirsty nation crazy for a cross-country rally full of flying, dying spectators and ruthlessly sociopathic drivers, not to mention Mary Woronov as the most fearsome thing on four wheels. Anderson's version goes its own frenetic way, and it's one of those vicious larks that just plain hit the spot. It hits the spot, throws 'er into reverse and hits the spot again, before machine-gunning it and ramming it head-on for the fun of it. Sadistic? Yessir. But our hero, a seething kettle of violence played by Jason Statham, is a devoted father of a sweet little girl who needs him, so it's sadism with a heart.](http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/thumbnails/story/2008-08/41733692-22042529.jpg "Nothing in director Paul W.S.
