Review of The Wages of Fear (1953)

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

Review of Marci X (2003)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 28 Feb 2007

It's no masterpiece, but I found it consistently good-hearted and sometimes hilarious, and the sparse crowd I saw it with was laughing as much…

Review of Back to the Future Part III (1990)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 26 Feb 2007

This is a good deal more likable than part two because the product plugs have been held back, and Zemeckis is clearly having fun alluding to…

Review of Nat Turner: A Troublesome Property (2003)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 23 Feb 2007

Ultimately [director] Burnett offers a remarkable gift: an intelligent sense of relativity…

Review of Inventing the Abbotts (1997)

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

Review of Blue Steel (1990)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 21 Feb 2007

The larger considerations and film noir overtones detract too much from the facts of the case, and what emerges are two effective half-films,…

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 20 Feb 2007

An enjoyable though distinctly second-degree comedy by writer-director Andrew Bergman…

Review of Cradle Will Rock (1999)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 18 Feb 2007

There's something stirring and gutsy about this evocation of collective ferment -- not to mention timely, in the wake of the Seattle uprising…

Review of Phantom (1922)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 13 Feb 2007

Reminded me most of Jean Genet's Un chant d'amour, with bondage and latex replacing incarceration and cigarettes…

Review of Killer's Kiss (1955)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 12 Feb 2007

A noirish thriller with experimental trimmings that holds back most of the emotions, sensitive as well as otherwise, that threatened to make…

Review of Dreams (1990)

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

In the uneven career of Akira Kurosawa, two limiting factors were sentimentality and preachiness, and both come to the fore in this 1990 collection…

Review of Body and Soul (1925)

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

One of the revelations of this 1924 feature by pioneer black filmmaker Oscar Micheaux is that, in contrast to the faltering technique and garbled…

Review of Enemy at the Gates (2001)

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

There's never much risk of reality intruding--just a lot of histrionic James Horner music nd plenty of designer stubble on the soldiers' faces…

Review of Daughters of the Dust (1991)

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

The resources of the beautiful locations are exploited to the utmost, and [director Julie] Dash can be credited with an original, daring, and…

Review of Chicago (2002)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 06 Feb 2007

I seem to be in a distinct minority in finding the satire toothless, obvious, and insufferably glib -- Still, I found genuine pleasure in watching…

Review of Dances with Wolves (1990)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 05 Feb 2007

Sincere, capable, at times moving, but overextended, this picture is seriously hampered by its tendency to linger over everything -- especially…

Review of The English Patient (1996)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 05 Feb 2007

For all the film's effectiveness as a love story, I often felt I was being hurried through a busy itinerary…

Review of Rain Man (1988)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 05 Feb 2007

Fortunately, the script by Ronald Bass and Barry Morrow isn't half bad, and both Barry Levinson's direction and the performances are agreeably…

Review of Driving Miss Daisy (1989)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 05 Feb 2007

The movie also has something legitimate and instructive to say about the subtlety and intricacy of everyday race relations in the south during…
