  1. Fine dining stakes claim in Berwyn

    To corrupt an old saying, the good Lord never closes a condo without opening a bungalow.
    To corrupt an old saying, the good Lord never closes a condo without opening a bungalow. Berwyn is on the rise. The financial crisis has turned the near west suburb into a hot spot of affordable housing, and young couples and families are crowding in....

  2. 'The Liar' at Writers' Theatre in Glencoe ★★★

    THEATER REVIEW: Hot on the heels of "The School for Lies," a freewheeling Moliere adaptation by David Ives at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater, comes "The Liar."
    An extraterrestrial visitor to the theater of Chicagoland this year might well conclude that the good people of 17th-century France had both exceptional timing and more than a passing familiarity with Twitter. Hot on the heels of "The School for Lies,"...

  3. Elie Wiesel's story endures, empowers

    NEW YORK — A slender, silver-haired gentleman steps onto a nearly bare stage, the instantaneous applause continuing long after he reaches the spare wooden table awaiting him.

  4. Swimming in father's stories in 'Big Fish'

    THEATER REVIEW: "Big Fish" at the Oriental Theatre ★★★ ... Time surely is ripe for an American family musical, at once fantastical and emotional.
    With British and Irish yarns so dominant at the higher end of Broadway, time surely is ripe for an American family musical, at once fantastical and emotional, with its heart in family reconciliation and its roots in the florid storytelling culture of...

  6. All styles, all of them great

    <strong>Miguel Zenon</strong><strong> and Laurent Coq:</strong><strong> "Rayuela"</strong> <strong>(Sunnyside Records</strong>). Puerto Rican saxophonist Zenon and French pianist Coq drew inspiration for "Rayuela" from Argentine writer Julio Cortazar's book of the same name, but this sublimely expressive recording achieves a poetry of its own. Zenon's searching, questing phrases on alto receive sometimes pensive, sometimes driving accompaniment from Coq, plus atmospheric contributions from Dana Leong on cello and trombone and Dan Weiss on percussion. A profound recording.<strong></strong>

  7. 'Bullet to the Head': Fine director drives action vehicle ★★ 1/2

    We've been here before. The Sylvester Stallone vehicle "Bullet to the Head" concludes with an ax fight featuring Stallone against his sneering, murderous adversary, played by Jason Momoa, going at it like maniacs in the bowels of an abandoned power plant, the sort of cavernous industrial space featured in a hundred different movies starring Jean-Claude Van Damme or Jason Statham. Or Vin Diesel. I believe it was also used by Scarlett Johansson in "The Avengers."

  8. Lesbian love story takes top prize at Cannes

    Cannes Film Festival jury president Steven Spielberg said the jury's decision to award the festival's top prize to lesbian love story "Blue Is the Warmest Color" was not political even as thousands protested France's legalization of same-sex marriage in Paris.
    CANNES, France — When is a lesbian coming-of-age drama not a lesbian coming-of-age drama? We’ll let this year’s Cannes Film Festival jury president take that one: When “it’s a great love story” first and foremost, as...

  9. A reflection on literary retirements

    Stop writing if you please, but for pity's sake, don't expect the world to look up from its lunch long enough to realize you've gone away.
    In light of Philip Roth's recent announcement of his "retirement" from writing, a scene from the 1977 movie "Julia" comes to mind. It's a delicious cinematic moment, involving as it does the deft puncturing of pomposity — always satisfying to...

  10. Trice: Woodlawn's Experimental Station market succeeds

    A couple of decades ago, in another incarnation, the industrial building that is Woodlawn's Experimental Station was a dark and brooding drop-off recycling center.

  11. Lyric Opera's 'Werther' staging sometimes off the rails, but singing is gloriously on track

    Jules Massenet's "Werther" is a staple of the European opera house repertory, but its Goethe-inspired protagonist remains an infrequent visitor to American shores. Despite the fact that the opera received its American premiere in Chicago, in 1894, Lyric Opera has ventured it only twice, the last time 34 years ago, when Alfredo Kraus reprised the super-stylish portrayal he introduced at the company premiere in 1971.
