Review of ParaNorman (2012)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for Time Out Chicago (129) on 16 Aug 2012

What's truly marvelous about the stop-motion fantasia ParaNorman is the way it acknowledges adolescence as a daily horror show…

Review of Total Recall (2012)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for Time Out Chicago (129) on 01 Aug 2012

More exciting than Verhoeven fans might expect, Wiseman's Total reboot won't betray your fond memories of its iconic predecessor…

Review of Killer Joe (2012)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for Time Out Chicago (129) on 01 Aug 2012

William Friedkin, that old '70s genre pro, seems reinvigorated by this cast of amoral schemers and their seedy stomping grounds…

Review of A Cat in Paris (2010)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for Time Out Chicago (129) on 26 Jul 2012

Twentysomething caped-crusader fans may get a warmer buzz of nostalgia here than they will at The Dark Knight Rises…

Review of Step Up Revolution (2012)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for Time Out (7,510) on 25 Jul 2012

The plot is pure boilerplate, yet the draw of this franchise has always been its fancy footwork, and the movie's stuttering, herky-jerky spectacles…

Review of Ruby Sparks (2012)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for Time Out Chicago (129) on 24 Jul 2012

Dano, in his best performance since There Will Be Blood, offers a bravely unflattering depiction of beta-male possessiveness…

Review of A Thousand Words (2012)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for Time Out (7,510) on 09 Mar 2012

Before this star vehicle devolves into a soggy New Age sermon, Murphy's manic pantomiming offers a few faint flickers of the mad comic genius…

Review of Man on a Ledge (2012)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for Time Out (7,510) on 24 Jan 2012

Trusting an action drone like Worthington to anchor the human drama is a fatal mistake…

Review of The Big Year (2011)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for Time Out (7,510) on 13 Oct 2011

The School of Rock funnyman flies highest; passion, be it for rare birds or the Yardbirds, is a plumage he wears wonderfully…

Review of Shark Night 3D (2011)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for Time Out (7,510) on 01 Sep 2011

The equivalent of a skin flick in which all the sex scenes are tastefully obscured by blankets and sheets…

Review of Madea's Big Happy Family (2011)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for Time Out (7,510) on 26 Apr 2011

Epitomizing the shrill franchise's schizophrenic tonal shifts, Madea metes out Christian life lessons with one hand -- and righteously bitch-slaps…

Review of Adam's Rib (1949)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 16 Dec 2002

George Cukor employs an unusually large number of long takes, often allowing the inspired spats between his leads to play out in unbroken real…

Review of Cooley High (1975)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 05 Mar 2001

With its sprawling cast of characters, digressive plot, and hit soundtrack (in this case, a boisterous Motown primer), Cooley High has been…

Review of Sorcerer (1977)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 01 Mar 1987

Though there’s gunplay, and more than a few explosions, the focus of this grim jungle odyssey is on the prevention of carnage, the heart-in-throat…
