LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
he Weekly Alibi's Devin D. O'Leary looks at this year's summer movies and makes some predictions about how big the box office for each might be.
Mel Gibson is shooting a movie in Chicago, on a small patch of Lincoln Park that abuts a line of high-rises near the corner of Fullerton and Lakeview.
The first of the summer blockbuster's, the "Mission: Impossible" sequel, is all about action, not so much about plot.
Plus, the latest from Jackie Chan, Claire Denis, and more.
