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.

Film review: Nothing more than meets the eye on new 'Transformers'
Special to The Herald-MailWhen I review a sequel, I usually open by talking about the proud history of the franchise. The history of the "Transformers" franchise is nothing to be proud of. The '80s cartoon was a glorified toy commercial, the original 2007 film was one of...Tags: Shia LaBeouf, Frances McDormand, Transformers (movie), Companies and Corporations, Crimes

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.
