CHICAGO – There is no better time to take in a stage play that is based in U.S. history, depicting the battle between fact and religion. The old theater chestnut – first mounted in 1955 – is “Inherit the Wind,” now at the Goodman Theatre, completing it’s short run through October 20th. For tickets and more information, click INHERIT.

Blu-Ray Review: ‘Battle: Los Angeles’ Falls Well Below Expectations
Submitted by BrianTT on June 27, 2011 - 2:21pmCHICAGO – With “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” about to hit theaters and get the adrenalin flowing for major city destruction from another planet, you may be tempted to catch up with Jonathan Liebesman’s “Battle: Los Angeles” for a similar dose of macho male escapism. Don’t fall for it. This is an annoying movie that fails on nearly every level.

CHICAGO – It used to be an insult to say that a loud action movie reminded a critic of a video game.

Even the explosions are boring.
