  3. Treat Chicago's homicide surge as an epidemic

    For once, Chicago has beaten New York in a competition that the Windy City had no desire to win. Chicago ended 2012 with more homicides than New York. No one cheers for that.

  4. Billy Corgan's salon hopes to inspire conversation

    For an establishment called Madame ZuZu's, the host is pretty dressed down: no flowing silk robe or pointy painted fingernails. And even if Billy Corgan could qualify for madame-hood, he wouldn't be going for extravagance. At least not at 6 p.m. on a winterstruck Thursday, and not in a setting as casual as his new Highland Park tea shop.

  5. 'Head Games' assesses the price of football ★★ 1/2

    Based on the 2006 book of the same title, Steve James' wide-ranging documentary wonders how much we're willing to gamble in our kids' pursuit of sports, to say nothing of the adults, particularly regarding the concussion magnet known as football. "Head Games," the book, was written by one of the film's focal points, onetime Harvard defensive tackle Chris Nowinski. Between the hits he took on the football field and the walloping he endured in professional wrestling, Nowinski knows first-hand the risks — and the underreported, often cavalierly dismissed incidents of brain injury — he experienced in the name of spectator combat.

  6. It came from Ray Bradbury

    Though known primarily as an author, Ray Bradbury had a fixation with Hollywood. It was inevitable that his skills as a science fiction writer would eventually land him work in the movies.

  7. There are no children in Annawadi

    I've long been a fan of Katherine Boo's writing. In one of my favorite New Yorker stories, about efforts to get the poor to marry, her opening line is a treasure: “One July morning last year in Oklahoma City, in a public-housing project named Sooner Haven, 22-year-old Kin Henderson pulled a pair of low-rider jeans over a high-rising gold lame thong and declared herself ready for church.”

  8. Stand-up doc 'Bully' is more than a sum of its parts ✭✭✭

    There are a hundred reasons "Bully"is a good film instead of a great one, but Lee Hirsch's blood-boiling documentary will very likely end up doing more than its share of good in this world.

  10. 'The Interrupters': Trying to stop the street violence

    Zap2It
    It's a war without national boundaries, military uniforms or state-sanctioned weapons. But it is a war and an epidemic of violence raging on the streets of one of the largest U.S. cities. Yet the shootings in Chicago often go ignored. PBS' gripping...

  12. Mediators try to make streets a little less mean

    In its charting of a Chicago epidemic and belief in the power of street-level human empathy, the superb documentary "The Interrupters" comes to us at a time when the notion of conflict resolution has been sidelined utterly on the national political level.This is why every member of the U.S. House, the U.S. Senate, the White House and the tea party, let alone anybody simply interested in meeting some complicated and remarkable Chicagoans, should see the film. It chronicles genuine conflict resolution that appears to get results — politically savvy, consensus-building results — one difficult day at a time.
