The Fly
February 1 & 2, 8 & 9
David Cronenberg, 1986, 95m

Master of body-horror David Cronenberg turns his eye on the classic sci-fi story of experimentation run amok. When Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum) perfects his matter transference device, his curiosity naturally gets the better of him and before long Dr. Brundle isn’t quite the same man he was before.

Ridley Scott, 1985, 113m

This epic from Ridley Scott went through almost as many incarnations as Blade Runner before finally being recognized as the classic it is. It tells the story of a young man (Tom Cruise) who must stop The Lord of Darkness (Tim Curry) in his plot to rid the world of sunlight.

  • The Wackness

    CHICAGO – The coming-of-age comedy “The Wackness” with Josh Peck, Ben Kingsley, Olivia Thirlby, Mary-Kate Olsen, Method Man, and Famke Janssen may feature a bouncing hip-hop soundtrack and be about joyful things like first love, but it’s an oddly inert, haze-filled film, as if the regular marijuana usage in the film cast a haze over the entire project.

  • 24

    CHICAGO – The world has changed significantly since Kiefer Sutherland and the rest of the team behind Fox’s “24” were forced to save it repeatedly over the first six seasons of one of the most popular shows of the last decade. Will “24” still be relevant with controversy over real-life torture dominating the headlines and a new regime getting ready to take office?
