10 November 2008, by I was very lucky to have the opportunity to see some of Jim Henson's commercials, industrials and experimental movies yesterday as part of the Jim Henson retrospective at the Gene Siskel Film Center. I love Jim Henson's work--I interned for the Henson Foundation when I was in college--and I had read or seen stills for some of these films a long time ago, but they're not really ever screened so it was really awesome to have the opportunity to see them.

[edit] These things I believe

30 October 2008, by Roger Ebert got a lot of shit for his review of Tru Loved, which he stopped watching - initially - after eight minutes (he has since viewed the entire movie and appended that review to the original). He's now vowed never again to write a review of a film he hasn't watched in its entirety (I can't remember ...

[edit] Eagerly Awaiting ‘Solace’ Part 3

27 October 2008, by For me, James Bond was an intricate part of my childhood.  I was in awe of these movies.  Also a huge influence was Siskel and Ebert.  I remember Sunday mornings spent eagerly awaiting the latest episode of ‘At the Movies.’  Yes, I was a dork.  I own that.

[edit] Muppet Mania At The Siskel!

17 October 2008, by I know I can’t be the only one excited about this! In November, the Gene Siskel Film Center here in Chicago will be putting on a film festival entitled Muppets, Music, & Magic: Jim Henson’s Legacy. This is incredibly exciting. No only will they be showing movies like The Great Muppet Caper, The Muppet Movie, The Dark Crystal and The Labyrinth, but will also include many documentaries about Jim Henson and some of his other projects. The Labyrinth is one of my favorite movies, so that’ll

[edit] Jeffrey Lyons, REEL TALK WITH LYONS & BAILES movie critic: Mr. Media Interview

17 October 2008, by If you consider yourself a little choosy when it comes to movies, you probably either read newspaper reviews or watch a movie review show on TV. There are some reviews who come a little more highly recommended than others. There was Siskel, there was Ebert… and since I was a kid growing up in New Jersey, there has always been Jeffrey Lyons. Lyons is back with the second season of his syndicated TV show, “Reel Talk with Lyons & Bailes,” and he’s here to tell us a little about it. You can L

[edit] Roger Ebert branches out

7 October 2008, by Back when such matters occupied a lot of conversations, before bailouts, AIG, and William Ayers, the long-standing debate could happen at any time.  The root question? Who is better?  Siskel, or Ebert. By “better,” the question meant, of course, whose opinion was right.  And, as discussions about art, politics, child-rearing, and religion tend to go, there was never a universally agreed-upon stand on the issue.  I enjoyed Gene Siskel’s general Devil’s Advocate stance, but sometimes he seemed

[edit] Roger Ebert: “What’s your favorite movie?”

10 September 2008, by Is there a difference between “the greatest film of all time” and “your favorite movie?” Roger Ebert discusses those 2 questions and how the answer(s) change as the viewer changes. …So it’s settled: “Citizen Kane” is the official greatest film of all time, with Renoir’s “Rules of the Game” (1939) close on its heels. “Kane” is important both for itself and for what it symbolizes. But people don’t always ask about the greatest film. They ask, “What’s your favorite movie?” Again, I always answer

[edit] Two white guys “At the Movies”

9 September 2008, by "600 Words by Esther J. Cepeda" First off, let me put this out there… I love white people. Half my family (the half that isn’t, by the numbers, even more Filipino than it is Hispanic) is white. I’m also not the type to go around being all bitter that "da man" is trying to keep me down. But sometimes it sorta, kinda feels like maybe… Here’s what gets me: Roger Ebert and Rich Roeper walked away from At the Movies and were replaced by...drumroll please… two pasty white guys. Fine, upstanding,

8 September 2008, by Lyons and Mankiewicz “At the Movies?” What the Hell? The latest incarnation of “At the Movies” premiered this week. We can now say the venerable 30 year old show Siskel and Ebert made famous is official dead. We all hoped Roger Ebert would return to his hosting duties after leaving the show in 2006 due to heath concerns. It now appears these hopes will never materialize. On July 21, 2008, Richard Roeper announced he was leaving the show, after he and Disney did not reach an agreement on a ne

[edit] 'Ebert & Roeper' replacement show gets two thumbs down

7 September 2008, by The curtain went down for "At the Movies with Ebert & Roeper" last month and the curtain came up Sept. 6 for the new show, "At the Movies," which came with some format changes. And the changes are bad. When Disney-ABC wanted to revamp the show, Roger Ebert and Richard Roeper decided not to continue (here's Ebert's farewell statement) and in stepped E! News film critic Ben Lyons and Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz as the new hosts. After watching the first show, I was left with so

[edit] Ebert, how to read movies

5 September 2008, by Roger Ebert talks about how to read a movie. This all began for me in about 1969, when I started teaching a film class in the University of Chicago's Fine Arts program. I knew a Chicago film critic, teacher and booker named John West, who lived in a wondrous apartment filled with film prints, projectors, ...

Film nerds would rightfully be quick to guess that the series covers films from the French film genre, La Nouvelle Vague (also known as the French New Wave). This series includes all of the following films: Contempt, The 400 Blows, Two or Three Things I K

22 August 2008, by Death Race I'll admit, there's a small part of me that was really looking forward to this retread of the classic Roger Corman-produced Death Race 2000.
