Oscar nominees take a look back with 'New Nostalgia'
![A couple of years ago, Bruce Sheridan, chair of the film program at Columbia College, noticed a curious thing happening. A few of the film majors who interned on the Chicago production of "The Dark Knight" had started making their student films and, as expected,Christopher Nolan's brooding, zeitgeisty, state-of-the-union-address of a superhero epic was a big influence. Less expected was the sort of movies it inspired. Film students have always gravitated to the shadows and stark lighting of classic noir; and Batman is the most noir-y of superheroes. Sheridan planned to see lots of noir. What he got were wide open urban spaces.](http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/thumbnails/story/2012-01/67734115-30144417.jpg "A couple of years ago, Bruce Sheridan, chair of the film program at Columbia College, noticed a curious thing happening.

The evolving images of 9/11
![The first screening of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" came just weeks after the attacks of Sept. 11. The movie had been in the works for years, the first in a trilogy based on novels that had been written decades earlier, of course, by an Englishman named J.R.R. Tolkien during Hitler's rise to power and World War II. And yet the first minute of the film delivered a queasy jolt of immediacy, a chill of recognition. It opened with no image, and very faint background music, little but a black screen and Cate Blanchett's mournful voice, reciting what sounded like, that autumn day, either a prayer or the most poetic 9/11 editorial no one had written yet:](http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/thumbnails/story/2011-09/64604077-11111847.jpg "The first screening of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring\" came just weeks after the attacks of Sept. 11.

Word of Mouth: 'Zookeeper' may have been caged too long
![A little more than a year ago, the makers of "Zookeeper" took the Kevin James comedy to the AMC Ontario Mills 30 multiplex for a test screening. The talking-animals film had been scheduled to be released in October 2010, but the Sony Pictures brass were so electrified by the audience feedback — the marks from kids were so good that one executive thought that the data must be wrong and needed to be recalculated — that the studio decided to move "Zookeeper" into the heart of this summer's box-office battle.](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2011-07/63046333-06170703.jpg "A little more than a year ago, the makers of "Zookeeper\" took the Kevin James comedy to the AMC Ontario Mills 30 multiplex for a test screening.
