  1. Kerouac opus 'On the Road' hits just enough beats ★★★

    An eternal fountain of adolescence, Jack Kerouac's "On the Road" went through many permutations between its point of origin, 1948, and its point of notorious, divisive publication, 1957. The best description of it came from Kerouac himself, in a journal entry written after his first cross-country road trip in 1948. The book he had in mind, he said, was about "two guys hitchhiking to California in search of something they don't really find, and losing themselves on the road, and coming all the way back hopeful of something else." There's a simple beauty to that. The question is: How do you film an extended yearning?

  2. Anticipating the Oscars: These might contend

    My Academy Awards predictions &mdash; and honestly, why not start now, a month before the nominations are announced? &mdash; carry an odor akin to Paul Rudd's cologne in "Anchorman": 60 percent of the time, they're right<em> every</em> time.

  3. The Oscars telecast's rocky road

    Last night's Oscars were like an emotional roller-coaster at a terrible amusement park--beginning wth Seth MacFarlane's as-bad-as-feared monologue, the show rarely rose above painful and hit few peaks. Allow us to relive some of the night's best and worst moments, not necessarily in that order.

  4. Overlooked screenplays this Oscar season

    In 1945 Raymond Chandler wrote a screed against Hollywood, and Hollywood screenwriting, for the Atlantic Monthly. "An industry with such vast resources and such magic techniques should not become dull so soon," said the man who later characterized his adopted residence to the south, La Jolla, Calif., as "nothing but a climate." In the Atlantic he vented: "An art which is capable of making all but the very best plays look trivial and contrived, all but the very best novels verbose and imitative, should not so quickly become wearisome to those who attempt to practice it with something else in mind than the cash drawer."

  5. 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.

  7. 'Silver Linings Playbook': Humanity in high-maintenance characters ★★★ 1/2

    Hollywood movies, and even off-Hollywood independent films, have long encouraged us to empathize with unstable or psychologically troubled characters only if they're "kooky" for a little while, as a prelude to more palatable, normalized levels of craziness. You know. The charming kind. Happy ending, followed by a fade to a sunny shade of black.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  11. Oscars and American history: True, or true enough?

    A modest proposal: Movies exploring some aspect of American history, such as &ldquo;Argo,&rdquo; &ldquo;Lincoln&rdquo; and &ldquo;Zero Dark Thirty,&rdquo; should leave off the &ldquo;based on a true story&rdquo; or &ldquo;inspired by true events&rdquo; language and stick to what &ldquo;Lincoln&rdquo; screenwriter Tony Kushner advocates: a clear, simple and proud declaration of &ldquo;historical fiction.&rdquo;
