Is there a way to easily check all showings of Chicago art house films?

I used to love cin-o-matic, which allowed you to read about upcoming releases, save certain theaters as your favorites, and track when movies come to town. Is there a way for me to view showtimes at smaller Chicago theaters like the Gene Siskel Film Center, The Logan, the Music Box, and the Landmark Century Cinema on one website?

Fandango has too much emphasis on major releases at major theaters, plus so much technological cruft and advertising that it's basically broken on most devices/computers I view it on.

I currently just check calendars for all the theaters individually, but I'm probably missing out on things like showings at colleges and other theaters I didn't know about. I just found out Block Cinema existed like, a month ago.

The Chicago Reader offers showtimes for all of those theaters.

Seconding the Cine-file mailing list, it's absolutely worth it. It's a weekly newsletter (sent out Friday mornings) highlighting the best and most interesting screenings around the city throughout the upcoming week.

My friend (& fellow mefite!) runs the Celluloid Chicago tumblr which compiles a weekly list of film-on-film screenings.
