Review of I'm So Excited! (2013)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 25 Jun 2013

After establishing a jaunty tone with its candy-colored, Saul Bass–style opening credits, the film racks up a high strain-to-laugh ratio;…

Review of The Heat (2013)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 25 Jun 2013

Part of the point here is to stake a claim on a genre that’s traditionally been a boys’ club, and in that regard, The Heat delivers: In…

Review of The Bling Ring (2013)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for AV Club (2,778) on 12 Jun 2013

The movie captures a moment when the lines separating anonymity, fame, and notoriety are finer than ever…

Review of Pandora's Promise (2013)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 11 Jun 2013

The most counterintuitive enviro-doc of the year, Pandora’s Promise makes the case that nuclear power may be the closest thing Earth has…

Review of Evocateur: The Morton Downey Jr. Movie (2013)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for AV Club (2,778) on 05 Jun 2013

Ironically for a movie about the ratings value of shock, Évocateur suffers from its own lack of red meat…

Review of Dirty Wars (2013)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 04 Jun 2013

As a polemic, Dirty Wars is provocative and productively depressing, raising doubts about the effectiveness of military missions that have…

Review of The English Teacher (2013)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for AV Club (2,778) on 15 May 2013

Even the sitcom stylings might not matter if the movie were funny, but in spite of the potential for Guffman-esque comedy, The English Teacher…

Review of Frances Ha (2013)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 14 May 2013

Above all, Frances Ha is a wry and moving portrait of friendship, highlighting the way that two people who know everything about each other…

Review of The Great Gatsby (2013)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for AV Club (2,778) on 08 May 2013

Like Romeo + Juliet (1996), Luhrmann’s version of The Great Gatsby emerges as a half-reverent, half-travestying adaptation that’s campy…

Review of Sightseers (2012)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 07 May 2013

The relentless contrast of banality with horror seems to be Wheatley’s signature move, and like his Kill List (2011), Sightseers can claim…

Review of Love Is All You Need (2012)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for AV Club (2,778) on 01 May 2013

Cast with winning actors (particularly Molly Blixt Egelind as Dyrholm’s daughter) who seem determined not to distract viewers from the coastal…

Review of The Iceman (2012)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for AV Club (2,778) on 01 May 2013

Alternating scenes of the psycho-as-family-man with an increasingly grisly and desperate series of hits, it makes for a surprisingly monotonous…

Review of The Medallion (2003)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Village Voice (8,525) on 22 Apr 2013

This outing, Jackie doesn't bring much humor or personality to his role, which is essentially the same one he played in the Rush Hour movies…

Review of To the Wonder (2013)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Time Out Chicago (129) on 18 Apr 2013

Once the shock of seeing a Sonic Drive-In in a Malick film wears off, the movie leaves little to ponder beyond the sketchily drawn romance…

Review of The Host (2013)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Time Out (7,510) on 26 Mar 2013

An Invasion of the Body Snatchers retread told from a postoccupation vantage point, this adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s YA romance novel…

Review of Robots (2005)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Village Voice (8,525) on 13 Mar 2013

Entertaining enough that it leaves one wishing for more in the way of android mythology—a pint-sized Blade Runner or A.I…

Review of Barbara (2012)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Time Out Chicago (129) on 10 Mar 2013

Petzold renders Communist oppression in a provocatively muted manner…

Review of Jack the Giant Slayer (2013)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Time Out Chicago (129) on 01 Mar 2013

Taking a healthy swig from Lord of the Rings' cup, this high-concept Jack and the Beanstalk dresses up traditionalism in expensive nothingness…

Review of Ladder 49 (2004)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Village Voice (8,525) on 15 Feb 2013

Not as snort-worthy as Backdraft, Ladder 49 is a serviceable testament to the firemen who would bravely risk their lives to protect the safety…

Review of Side Effects (2015)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Time Out Chicago (129) on 09 Feb 2013

Makes for an intriguing if dispassionate fit…
