  1. Toronto's Hollywood juggernaut can't swamp indie pleasures

    In "Argo," one of the leanest satisfactions of this year's massive Toronto International Film Festival, director and star Ben Affleck anchors a movie based on the true story about how Central Intelligence Agency operative Tony Mendez faked his way into Iran following the 1979 hostage crisis posing as a film producer scouting locations for a Canadian science-fiction film called "Argo." Under that cover story, Mendez engineered the rescue of six American hostages, themselves posing as part of the fake film crew.

  2. Coaxing film from a former steel plant

    "I used to spend summers with Uncle Nick as a kid," Pissios, a former real estate developer, tells me. He hung around the Cinespace Toronto soundstages. "That's how this whole thing happened. A few years ago, I was building condominiums by the United Center." Then came the mortgage and housing crises and the bad economic weather. Pissios went to Toronto for a wedding and saw his Uncle Nick. "And he said, 'How's things going?' I told him, 'Not so good. It's slow now.' And he said, 'We've always talked about opening up a studio in Chicago. Let's test the waters. Start lookin' around.'"

  3. A quirky recap of fall's top films—in verse!

    Thanksgiving was fast approaching, and the holiday blockbusters were about to start. But I still hadn't seen any of the big fall movies. How was I ever going to catch up?

  4. Holdover 'Argo' beats four newcomers on slow moviegoing weekend

    Moviegoers had four new films to choose from at the box office this weekend, but "Argo" — the well-reviewed film that has been out for 17 days — still seemed like a better option to most.

  5. Reel Critics: 'Resident Evil' keeps features that made it popular

    "Resident Evil: Retribution" is the fifth movie in a very successful franchise that began as a series of apocalyptic Japanese video games. The surreal sci-fi adventure blends "Aliens" and "The Matrix" with "Blade Runner" overtones. For good measure, thousands of flesh eating zombies are added to the mix to chase down the remaining humans on Earth in a climatic battle of survival.

  6. 'Chuck: The Complete Fifth and Final Season'

    While never a ratings blockbuster for NBC, this spy saga had a devoted following that kept it afloat through a run that ended earlier this year. The final episodes pose fresh dilemmas for unlikely espionage operative Chuck (Zachary Levi) in his relationship with expert secret agent Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski), while major life changes also affect the other regular characters.

  8. Theater review: 'Cymbeline' from Orlando Shakespeare Theater...

    Some of the best times of my life have been spent lost in an epic fantasy adventure. From "Little Red Riding Hood" (epic to a preschooler) to "The Lord of the Rings" to "Harry Potter," there's something thrilling about simple worlds where good is good and bad is bad.

  9. From 'Captain America' to 'Uncle Vanya,' Hugo Weaving stretches his acting chops

    For actor Hugo Weaving, the distance between his farm in Sydney, Australia and Los Angeles isn't just 7,500 miles, give or take. It's the distance between his identities as a pop culture icon and as a conservatory-trained actor who revels in the classical canon.

  10. Patt Morrison Asks: The Possibilian, Kevin Kelly

    This is a Klein bottle, a kind of Mobius strip rendered in glass. The man holding it has a brain not unlike these confounding items, possessed of unusual twists and multidimensional turns that can be challenging for lesser mortals to get their own heads around. Kevin Kelly began reflecting on the techno-Internet world before most people even knew it existed. A co-founder of Wired magazine, and still its "senior maverick," his brainstorming writings influenced the films "Minority Report" and "The Matrix," but that's the stuff he has already done. It's the stuff Kelly still wants to do -- and to take the world along him -- that boots him up.

  11. Patt Morrison Asks: The poet, W.S. Merwin

    An Idaho resort hotel's verdure is not the wild tumble around W.S. Merwin's beloved Hawaiian home, but disciplined grass and orderly stands of trees. Not, perhaps, the sort of trees Merwin had in mind when he wrote, "On the last day of the world I would...

  12. Book Review: 'Robopocalypse'

    If there's such a thing as voodoo in literary circles, a lot of jealous sci-fi writers are probably burying needles into tiny Daniel H. Wilson dolls these days. What struggling novelist wouldn't be envious of Wilson's trajectory? None other than Steven Spielberg reached down from the heavens to option his new novel "Robopocalypse" &#8212; a deal brokered before the book was even finished, by the way &#8212; and rights to his still-unpublished follow-up have already been snapped up by another studio.
