CHICAGO THEATER & TV REVIEWS
CHICAGO – After a delay that lasted well in excess of a year, “24” returns to FOX this Sunday, Nov. 23, 2008 from 7 to 9 p.m. with a two-hour “special event” (they used to just be called “TV movies”) called “24: Redemption”.
CHICAGO – “Wow! I feel like I’m at a rock concert!” “Me too. It’s like I want to rush the stage!”
While overhearing this conversation between two young women at the recent Chicago opening of “Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story,” I realized there were no better words to sum up Drury Lane’s recent jukebox-blaring, toe-tapping homage to one of the greatest rock and rollers of all time.

They Just Keep Doing This
I had a friend in the “film” business once who told me that horror films always sell. I would like to amend that statement — GOOD horror films always sell.
Hollywood seems to want to kill this genre, not only with the gore and torture porn, but with just plain bad movies. It seems every couple of weeks a new splashy marketing campaign emerges for a “must-see” horror film. And after it gets its 10 million opening, it disappears like Tara Reed’s career.
Horror fans, start cranking out some decent screenplays. But after the strike.
