Review of That's My Boy (1951)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Time Out (7,510) on 04 Sep 2012

Depending on your POV, it's either the ne plus ultra of Hollywood calculation or a comedy simply intent on pushing its crassness to the point…

Review of The Apparition (2012)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Time Out (7,510) on 23 Aug 2012

The Apparition turns out to be nothing more than a series of feebly constructed Boo! scenes tacked together to achieve (barely) feature length…

Review of American Teen (2008)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Time Out Chicago (129) on 22 Aug 2012

The presence of a film crew may have encouraged drama…

Review of The Odd Life of Timothy Green (2012)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Time Out Chicago (129) on 13 Aug 2012

So creepy and anti-magical it calls into question the pathology that created it…

Review of Searching for Sugar Man (2012)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Time Out Chicago (129) on 10 Aug 2012

Ultimately an ode to Rodriguez's artistic modesty and the power of his music-a rousing crowd-pleaser that asks you to save questions for another film…

Review of Kumaré (2012)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Time Out Chicago (129) on 10 Aug 2012

The film's notion that the ruse here was okay because it ultimately helped people seems like a specious rationalization…

Review of Hope Springs (2012)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Time Out Chicago (129) on 10 Aug 2012

Springs insists on maintaining just enough comedy to keep the project commercial, which essentially means reducing two protagonists with a…

Review of The Queen of Versailles (2012)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Time Out Chicago (129) on 01 Aug 2012

Surely more topical (and essential) now than when it was conceived, The Queen of Versailles plays like a Christopher Guest parody of the financial…

Review of The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Time Out Chicago (129) on 17 Jul 2012

After a wobbly start, The Dark Knight Rises ascends in grand fashion, offering a respite from the digital murk and rote name-checking of the…

Review of 300 (2007)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Time Out Chicago (129) on 08 Jul 2012

Wallowing in the same adolescent nihilism as his Sin City, this adaptation of Frank Miller's graphic novel suffers from a similar lack of momentum…

Review of That's My Boy (2012)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Time Out Chicago (129) on 13 Jun 2012

Depending on your POV, it's either the ne plus ultra of Hollywood calculation or a comedy simply intent on pushing its crassness to the point…

Review of Looney Tunes: Back in Action (2003)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Village Voice (8,525) on 31 May 2012

Dante's masterstroke is to make the movie as visually and narratively unhinged as its source material…

Review of Antiviral (2012)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Time Out Chicago (129) on 20 May 2012

As far as entertainment value is concerned, the David Cronenberg virus thrives. Despite a few too many last-act rug-pulls, so does the movie…

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Time Out Chicago (129) on 14 May 2012

The reduction in spontaneity lowers the risks. Unsurprisingly, the best jokes fall closest to the old, topical template…

Review of Lymelife (2008)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Time Out Chicago (129) on 10 May 2012

Martini coasts on ambience and good song choices (some associated with the films of his executive producer, Martin Scorsese) and rallies with…

Review of A Little Bit of Heaven (2011)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Time Out (7,510) on 30 Apr 2012

Cringeworthy feel-good weepie, which finds Kate Hudson's vivacious ad-pitch whiz questioning her life choices after being diagnosed with terminal…

Review of Pray the Devil Back to Hell (2008)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Time Out Chicago (129) on 16 Apr 2012

The movie is clear-eyed and fearless in its recounting of the horrors of civil war, if also somewhat unsettling in demonstrating the power…

Review of In Search of Haydn (2012)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Time Out Chicago (129) on 11 Apr 2012

You don't need to be interested in classical music to find the results engrossing…

Review of I Love You, Man (2009)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Time Out Chicago (129) on 08 Apr 2012

If Rudd steals the show, Segel deserves props for downplaying Sydney's regressiveness…

Review of Rachel Getting Married (2008)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Time Out Chicago (129) on 08 Apr 2012

Like a family reunion with its share of embarrassing moments, it may be worth attending all the same…
