Review of Venus (2006)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 16 Jun 2008

This comedy drama is an exercise in self-indulgence for O'Toole, but an enjoyable and touching one…

Review of America's Sweethearts (2001)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 15 Jun 2008

Overwritten by Billy Crystal and Peter Tolan, overdirected by Joe Roth, overplayed by most of the cast, yet typically undernourished…

Review of 28 Days Later (2002)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 13 Jun 2008

Fresh and edgy; the images of a wasted London and the details of a paramilitary organization in the countryside are both creepy and persuasive…

Review of Haiku Tunnel (2001)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 07 Jun 2008

Some of the gags here are funny, but they aren't executed effectively enough to score…

Review of The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years (1988)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 06 Jun 2008

There's so little respect for the music that we never see or hear a number from beginning to end, and we rarely hear any of the musicians speak…

Review of The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (1989)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 05 Jun 2008

While his film certainly has the nastiness of satire, it doesn't have much political focus; petty malice rather than anger is the main bill…

Review of Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 03 Jun 2008

Director Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run) and cowriters Andrew Birkin and Bernd Eichinger preserve some of the novel's storytelling flair, and Dustin…

Review of Party Monster (2003)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 29 May 2008

If this were witty, it might have qualified as a downtown version of All About Eve; if it were believable, I wouldn't have come away feeling…

Review of Pillow Talk (1959)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 27 May 2008

Compulsively mainstream as only 50s Hollywood could be, and never very funny…

Review of Working Girl (2009)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 26 May 2008

Griffith's talent, energy, and sexiness give it some drive and punch…

Review of Working Girl (1988)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 26 May 2008

Griffith's talent, energy, and sexiness give it some drive and punch…

Review of Havana (1990)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 25 May 2008

Elaborate visual mounting and iconographic placement of the romantic leads are the movie's preoccupation, with the overthrow of Batista merely…

Review of When Do We Eat? (2006)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 25 May 2008

This 2005 farce about a hellish Passover seder panders to middle-class Jews as gleefully as Tyler Perry's movies pander to middle-class African-Americans,…

Review of Romance (1999)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 24 May 2008

The eroticism is powerful, and the documentary candor and directness of the sex scenes make this well worth seeing…

Review of Event Horizon (1997)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 23 May 2008

If you haven't lived until you've seen Laurence Fishburne and Sam Neill duke it out in a vat full of red paint, here's your chance; personally,…

Review of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 21 May 2008

The character and plot contrivances are dumber than ever, but this is basically vaudeville, not narrative, and the thrills keep coming…

Review of Shakes the Clown (1991)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 21 May 2008

Basically a redneck drive-in movie in style and delivery…

Review of Bad News Bears (2005)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 21 May 2008

Fortunately almost everyone acquits himself coolly and admirably; only costars Greg Kinnear and Marcia Gay Harden ham it up…

Review of The Untouchables (1987)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 20 May 2008

The results are watchable enough, with a particularly adept use of Sean Connery, Chicago locations, and period details…

Review of The Last Seduction (1994)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 20 May 2008

Unlike the classic noirs, this is grounded in neither a recognizable social reality nor a metaphysical sense of doom--just a lot of sexy attitude,…
