Not up for grade A movies there is a solution to that. Instead of having to go to those grade A movies with all of the advertisements and crazy crowds there are other theaters that could help you beat the crowds. For example, a lot of people cannot see "127 Hours" because it has a limited release which means they have to wait until it comes to DVD. That is something that we do not want.
Movie theaters that are independent in the city of chicago would be the Music Box theater, Gene Siskel Film Cener, and Landmark theaters. These theaters are the perfect place to catch up with oldie films and films that do not have big budgets. The prices are not bad and the atmosphere of it is fun. For more tips on different movie theaters you can google these theaters.

The Ben Stiller film you must see before you see Little Fockers
Name of Movie: Greenberg
Rating: R
Yahoo stars: three and a half
Stars given by Tarek: three and a half
"Greenberg" is about a man named Roger Greenberg (played by Ben Stiller) who has just been released from a mental facility. After being lonely for a long year his brother asks him to house sit at his mansion in California while him and his family are vacationing. Within Greenberg's days of house sitting he meets up with his friend again named Ivan (played by Rhys Ifans) who shows support towards him and helps him reconnect with the world. Although the excitement of the film begins when Greenberg meets his brothers assistant named Florence (played by Greta Gerwig) and they both start to become good friends but Greenberg has trouble considering the fact he is struggling to connect with the world. Although he is trying to take his chances to become a whole different person and hopefully "embrace the life he has never planned on" (quote from Rhys Ifans). It is funny, heartfelt, and enthralling from beginning to end. So before you go to see "Little Fockers" watch "Greenberg" first and see how Ben Stiller plays different characters in these two different films.

Faster Review
A slow start to a good action film. "Faster" is a thriller that will keep you thinking from beginning to end. It is action-packed, suspenseful, and it has a good twist at the beginning and end. On the rent it or buy it list I would say either or because it can be enjoyed either way.
"Faster" is about a criminal escort (Dwayne Johnson) who has just been released from prison for gang activity and mayhem and the one man who taught him everything he knew was his brother. All of a sudden both of them are held hostages and shot. The criminal escort (Dwayne Johnson) survives; but his brother does not. Now the escort goes on the run to find the men who were involved with his brothers shootings. Will the escort get the criminals back or will they live on? Find out. See "Faster" in theaters now.

The movies you have to see before you see "127 hours"
1. Millions--Directed by Danny Boyle (same director as "127 Hours") is about one boy who cares about nothing other than doing good for people that are poor. Along with his imaginations of the saints he knows something mysterious happens...a bag with millions of dollars lands on his property. The big question is should he spend it? should he report it? Should he donate it? Or should he destroy it? I really reccomend "Millions" (Rent before seeing "127 Hours" because of how it is the same director)
2. Into The Wild--Similar to "127 Hours" because of how both the characters love nature. "Into the Wild" is the true story of Christopher McCandless of who went a long journey to Alaska to escape from society but the problems he faces is weather and how to avoid being found. This film is a triumph and since it is a true story, you are going to want to watch it before you see "127 Hours" because both of these movies are similar and both true stories.
