Add me to the DIGGER-haters list www.chicagotribune.com/2026/10/01/m...

Review: Despite a committed Tom Cruise, ‘Digger’ waffles on climate change
Digger” is a film about climate change, but it’s not a cautionary tale; rather, it’s an environmental elegy. There’s no call to action other than “we’re screwed.”

For all of Colleen Hoover's success on the page, adapting her books to the screen has been tricky. This movie finally gets it right.

Review: Gory yet generic, 'Onslaught,' about a one-woman army, should be more fun than it is
Director Adam Wingard made his name with small-budget action-horror gems like "You're Next" and "The Guest," but his return to them is disappointing.

I was lucky to meet Gloria Steinem as as a young PR assistant in New York in my early 20s. It was just a few minutes as I started a screening for her, but I was astounded to even be in her presence and I think about it all the time. She was and is the blueprint.

The Reggie Watts article is horrifying and harrowing to read, and I was prepared for it to be bad. People close to me were friends with Kat, and after her death, they immediately spoke about Reggie’s dangerous influence on her life and drug use. He destroyed her. Unbelievably tragic.
