Review of Bad Girls (1994)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 08 Feb 2010

It's the usual combo of high concept and low execution, and not even Jonathan Kaplan's background as an exploitation director can bail him out…

Review of Bagdad Cafe (1987)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 08 Feb 2010

Unfortunately, the film's curious conceits remain implausible even on a fantasy level, and most of the satirical possibilities are either sidestepped…

Review of The Ballad of the Sad Cafe (1991)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 08 Feb 2010

Even if you can't quite swallow the material, it's a searing experience…

Review of Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 01 Feb 2010

The action has been transferred from suburbia to New York City, but otherwise the filmmakers stick like glue to the formula of the original…

Review of Babyfever (1994)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 29 Jan 2010

The southern California ambience is, shall we say, unrelenting…

Review of Baby Boy (2001)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 29 Jan 2010

The characters are so full-bodied and the feelings so raw and complex that I'd call this the best thing he's (Singleton) done to date…

Review of The Fisher King (1991)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 29 Jan 2010

Visually impressive, frequently pretentious, and extremely fluid as narrative (the 137 minutes sail by effortlessly), this mythic comedy-drama…

Review of Babette's Feast (1987)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 29 Jan 2010

The acting is impeccable and the ambience suffused with delicate charm, but overall this doesn't aim at anything higher than Masterpiece Theatre…

Review of A Lawyer Walks Into a Bar... (2007)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 26 Jan 2010

Too slick and sound-bitey for its own good, this documentary about U.S…

Review of Definitely, Maybe (2008)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 21 Jan 2010

This highly uneven comedy by writer-director Adam Brooks might be easier to take if it were less infatuated with its own cuteness…

Review of Bubba Ho-tep (2002)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 21 Jan 2010

Adapted from a story by Joe R…

Review of A Lot Like Love (2005)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 21 Jan 2010

This interminable contest between two narcissists, stretched out over many miles and years, is supposed to have something to do with romance…

Review of Congo (1995)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 20 Jan 2010

I don't know the novel, but judging from the script by Crichton and John Patrick Shanley, this must be scraping the bottom of the Crichton barrel…

Review of Fatal Instinct (1993)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 20 Jan 2010

Considering the degree to which Fatal Attraction and Basic Instinct are already self-parodies, writer David O'Malley and director Carl Reiner…

Review of Entrapment (1999)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 17 Jan 2010

It's the romantic sparring with Catherine Zeta-Jones as another glamorous thief -- not the unsuspenseful heists -- that makes this silly thriller…

Review of Odd Man Out (1947)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 12 Jan 2010

This may be Reed’s most pretentious film, but it also happens to be one of his very best, beautifully capturing the poetry of a city at night…

Review of Good Night, and Good Luck. (2005)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 01 Jan 2010

The film adopts, somewhat insidiously, the myth that life was simpler back in 1953 and '54, and it offers Murrow as a lesson for today…

Review of Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 01 Jan 2010

Though the look aspires as usual to be both otherworldly and familiar, there's nothing that doesn't reek of southern California (as opposed…

Review of Twister (1996)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 31 Dec 2009

The engineering of the special effects is fairly impressive, and the sight of so many objects and creatures being buffeted about carries a…

Review of Bowling for Columbine (2002)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 25 Dec 2009

Moore's best film to date is this comic and grimly entertaining reflection on America's gun craziness and why we kill one another…
