Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 14 Sep 2006

A dedicated, charismatic, crack-addicted history teacher is the most believable protagonist in an American movie this year…

Review of Half Nelson (2006)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 14 Sep 2006

Review of The Piano Teacher (2001)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 13 Sep 2006

If you like being shaken up and don't care too much why or how, this is probably for you; Huppert gives her all to the part, and you won't be bored…

Review of Mr. Nanny (1993)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 12 Sep 2006

Now that Robin Williams has been emasculated--dangerously schizoid comic turned into nice-guy movie star--it isn't too surprising that a commercial…

Review of 13 Tzameti (2006)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 07 Sep 2006

13 (Tzameti) might seem allegorical, but it’s too cynically concerned with what works as entertainment to offer larger truths about human existence…

Review of Hollywoodland (2006)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 07 Sep 2006

The period details and performances are uniformly superb (Bob Hoskins is especially good as MGM executive Eddie Mannix), and the major characters…

Review of Eight Men Out (1988)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 23 Aug 2006

Baseball fans might find this marginally absorbing; for anyone else it's as conscientious and stylistically pedestrian as director John Sayles's…

Review of The Terminal (2004)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 12 Aug 2006

As usual Spielberg is too bored by everyday life to use his premise for anything but a fairy tale, whose cheap pathos suggests a bad Chaplin…

Review of Nice Bombs (2006)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 11 Aug 2006

Distance tends to simplify our view of anything, and this video humanizes the situation on the ground mostly by complicating it…

Review of That Thing You Do! (1996)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 11 Aug 2006

Though Hanks keeps the satirical and critical aspects of this look at show biz fairly light, there's a lot of conviction and savvy behind the…

Review of The School of Rock (2003)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 10 Aug 2006

The kids, all real musicians performing, are wonderful, and so is Black; Joan Cusack is both charming and funny as the principal…

Review of The Devil's Own (1997)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 06 Aug 2006

As a well-directed star vehicle with a couple of good action sequences, this is good, effective filmmaking, but I was periodically bored; when…

Review of The Night Listener (2006)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 03 Aug 2006

The movie's suggestiveness gives way to a certain thinness and lassitude…

Review of Twisted (2004)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 29 Jul 2006

Director Philip Kaufman's usual flair for erotic detail largely deserts him here, and this thriller seems most interested in lingering over…

Review of Scoop (1996)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 27 Jul 2006

Allen doesn't get us to care much about any of the characters here…

Review of Groundhog Day (1993)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 24 Jul 2006

Considering that none of the characters is fresh or interesting, it's a commendable achievement that the quality of the storytelling alone…

Review of Dracula (1979)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 23 Jul 2006

Francis Coppola's ambitious 1992 version brings back the novel's multiple narrators, leading to a somewhat dispersed and overcrowded story…

Review of Class Action (1991)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 16 Jul 2006

The liberal pieties underlying the script become so simplistic and predominant that they ultimately deprive the characters and the story of…

Review of My Super Ex-Girlfriend (2006)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 07 Jul 2006

A lot of superwimp gags executed by Luke Wilson grow out of this premise, as do some tacky 50s-style special effects…

Review of Best in Show (2000)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 05 Jul 2006

In general, the dogs-as-mirrors theme--the crazy things people do with and in relation to their pets--is what keeps this going, and the laughs…
