When it rains, it pours: this week brings both the Chicago Underground Film Festival, with screenings through Sunday at the Logan, and the Chicago Latino Film Festival, with shows through April 17 at River East 21 and other area venues (including Gene Siskel Film Center, which presents a retrospective of Oscar-nominated films from Spain and Latin America). When it pours, we reign: check out this week’s issue for 23 new reviews of both festival offerings and regular commercial releases. I think our all-time record was 56 new reviews in one issue, but that was a long time ago, when paper was a lot cheaper.
