In the so-called “great America” of the 1950s, the scapegoat target was comic books … specifically through a sociological study called “The Seduction of the Innocent.” City Lit Theater Company, in part two of a trilogy on comic culture by Mark Pracht, presents “The Innocence of Seduction … now through October 8th, 2023.

Blu-ray Review: Surprisingly Fun ‘Resident Evil: Retribution’
Submitted by BrianTT on January 3, 2013 - 11:43amCHICAGO – There’s no logical reason at all for a FIFTH “Resident Evil” movie to be any good at all, especially given how poorly the series has gone since the relatively-fun first installment.

Yes, “Legion” is a head-scratchingly horrible movie. Take your pick. It’s all wrong.
