Review of The Birdcage (1996)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 04 Nov 2007

This isn't the supreme masterpiece it might have been, but Nichols's direction is very polished and some of the lines and details are awfully funny…

Review of Baby Doll (1982)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 01 Nov 2007

One of Elia Kazan's most underrated movies is his only pure comedy…

Review of Baby Doll (1956)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 01 Nov 2007

It's largely Kazan's authentic feeling for the locale, aided by Boris Kaufman's superb black-and-white cinematography, that makes this movie…

Review of Baby Doll (1988)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 01 Nov 2007

One of Elia Kazan's most underrated movies is his only pure comedy…

Review of Dan in Real Life (2007)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 24 Oct 2007

The setup of this comedy by director-cowriter Peter Hedges (Pieces of April) and some subsequent twists may be contrived, and the laughs aren't…

Review of Odd Obsession (1959)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 22 Oct 2007

Ichikawa's more straightforward narrative method doesn't do justice to all the ironies, but this is a still a singular and memorable movie…

Review of The 13th Letter (1951)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 22 Oct 2007

One of [Preminger's] best efforts of the period…

Review of The True Story of Jesse James (1957)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 22 Oct 2007

Though hardly Nicholas Ray's sturdiest effort, this 1957 'Scope western began as one of his more ambitious conceptions, with an unorthodox…

Review of Intimate Strangers (2004)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 17 Oct 2007

This held me, but I was grateful when it released me…

Review of Restaurant (1999)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 16 Oct 2007

Pretty familiar stuff, but the performances--by Adrien Brody, Elise Neal, Simon Baker-Denny, and Lauryn Hill--are relatively fresh and sincere…

Review of Emperor Jones (1933)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 15 Oct 2007

Paul Robeson gives one of his greatest film performances in this arty, dated, but interesting 1933 adaptation of Eugene O'Neill's play…

Review of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 14 Oct 2007

Joss Whedon's script has some fun with Valley talk (both genuine and ersatz) but strains to sell the story…

Review of EDtv (1999)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 11 Oct 2007

But it's also Howard's and his audience's misfortune that a good time can be had by all only if nothing of substance gets said…

Review of Vincent & Theo (1990)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 09 Oct 2007

This was Altman's most watchable theatrical feature in about a decade, and the actors always keep you guessing…

Review of I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With (2006)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 04 Oct 2007

The story ultimately lands in incoherence; but the cameos and local details, and even some of the gags, keep it perky…

Review of The Heartbreak Kid (2007)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 03 Oct 2007

The ethnic humor that gave May's movie its charge is replaced by crass mean-spiritedness…

Review of The Matrix Reloaded (2003)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 29 Sep 2007

The martial arts choreography is neither graceful nor exciting--it's worthy of a video game…

Review of Feast of Love (2007)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 27 Sep 2007

This heart-warmer by Robert Benton has some of the tender wisdom and humor of his other features (e.g., Nobody's Fool)…

Review of Federal Hill (1995)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 27 Sep 2007

Corrente's handling of class divisions (one of the heroes starts seeing a Brown University senior he sells cocaine to) and the body language…
