  1. Music Box festival celebrates 70mm projection

    It's how a lot of us got hooked on movies in the first place. When I was 8 or 9 I saw "2001: A Space Odyssey" in 70 mm in Milwaukee with my mother. My memory's fuzzy on the particulars but I recall asking so many questions about the obelisk on the drive back to Racine, she had to pull over and compose herself for a minute and, as the tears streamed down her cheeks, she said quietly: "Michael, I just ... have no idea." It didn't matter. I'd never seen anything like it, and the Star Child never looked bigger, or scarier, or better.

  2. Rich tapestry shot through with 'Mysteries'

    A formal marvel carved from, and around, a narrative whopper, Raul Ruiz's adaptation of the mid-19th century Portuguese novel "Mysteries of Lisbon" arrives in U.S. theaters as a two-part, four-hour version edited down from a six-hour version produced for European television.

  3. 'Keep the Lights On': A stormy New York tale of love and addiction ★★★

    There's a nerve-racking sequence set in the late 1990s in co-writer and director Ira Sachs' "Keep the Lights On" when Erik, the Danish expatriate filmmaker living in Manhattan played by Thure Lindhardt, is on the telephone, trying to extract information from his doctor regarding the results of an HIV blood test.

  4. This comic's life, sans sleep, in 'Sleepwalk With Me' ★★★

    One night in a La Quinta motel room, comedian and storyteller Mike Birbiglia jumped through a second-story window while acting out one of his dreams, ending up in the hospital with a leg full of broken glass. Well, it's a living. Since then he has turned his adventures in sleep disorders into fodder for his stand-up act, an Off-Broadway solo show, an excerpt on "This American Life," a live comedy album, the title story in his best-selling comic memoir and now, a trim and effective feature film, which Birbiglia co-directed with co-writer Seth Barrish. The only thing left for "Sleepwalk With Me" is to be turned into a Broadway musical, which would require a title change to "Sleepwalk with Me!"

  5. 'Family' connections: How Phylicia Rashad found Stovall and his play set in Hyde Park

    When Phylicia Rashad was cast as a replacement Violet Weston in Anna D. Shapiro's Broadway production of Tracy Letts' "August: Osage County," the Broadway gossip boards were abuzz with the notion of casting an African-American actress, best known for playing Clair Huxtable on "The Cosby Show," in a play that seemed to be very specifically about a dysfunctional white family, interlopers on the prairie. To some, it was akin to casting a white actor in a play by August Wilson.

  6. Community succeeds in facing down a killer in 'How to Survive a Plague' ★★★ 1/2

    From a terrible epidemic comes a beautiful documentary. More than any other nonfiction work I've seen, with far-reaching intelligence and grace, David France's "How to Survive a Plague" relays what happened in the early years of AIDS. And what didn't happen in terms of federal dollars spent on drug research.

  9. Toronto Film Festival Day 2 recap: The Master's domain!

    Here's a Day 2 recap from the Toronto International Film Festival. Everybody sees a different slate of movies each day here. Friday went this way: After the gamer-oriented slaughter of &ldquo;Dredd 3D,&rdquo; the fanciful and tricksy theatrics of director Joe Wright&rsquo;s &ldquo;Anna Karenina&rdquo; with Keira Knightley and Jude Law and the Wachowskis&rsquo; adaptation of &ldquo;Cloud Atlas,&rdquo; which takes place in six different time periods, the mind reeled and the cinematic appetite cried out for something straight and easy.

  11. 'Peeples' star Craig Robinson's full plate may get even fuller

    For the last nine seasons Craig Robinson has played Darryl, one of the most understated characters on TV. &quot;The Office" may be closing out its ninth and final season next week, but Robinson's profile is about to increase exponentially. He has three movies coming out, including the idiots-at-the-apocalypse comedy "This Is the End" (with Seth Rogen, James Franco and Jonah Hill) and "Rapture-Palooza" (playing no less than the Antichrist himself, seducing Anna Kendrick).
