Review: 'Snow Angels' Start: 00:00 HollywoodChicago.com film critic Patrick McDonald says in his 4.0 out of 5.0 review of the new film “Snow Angels” with Kate Beckinsale: Snow Angels is an essential examination of dreams deferred through a darkness that lies dormant in the yin and yang of our vulnerable lives. While it’s a difficult film to absorb, it’s always absorbing. Review: 'The Year My Parents Went on Vacation' Start: 00:00 HollywoodChicago.com film critic Patrick McDonald wrote in his 4.0 out of 5.0 review of the new Brazilian indie “The Year My Parents Went on Vacation”: Chicago theater: 'Othello' Start: 19:30 End: 22:00 “Othello,” which has been dubbed William Shakespeare’s “most intimate” tragedy centered on racism, love, jealousy and betrayal, is at the axis of a man who fanatically desires assimilation into Desdemona’s world. Chicago theater: 'Ceres' Start: 20:00 End: 21:30 The Prop Thtr, which relishes in quipping about its “great air conditioning” in Chicago’s furthest west off-Loop theatre location, puts up the play “Ceres” against the backdrop of the Windy City’s (sometimes) booming financial district.
