Review of UHF (1989)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 06 Nov 1999

Gamely running through parodies of TV commercials and shows, not to mention Spielberg, Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Selznick, and Gandhi, the…

Review of Cobb (1994)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 04 Nov 1999

Unfortunately, the relationship between Cobb and Stump as depicted here isn't very substantial or interesting, and the fictionalized Stump's…

Review of The Princess Bride (1987)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 30 Oct 1999

Not even the crude ethnic humor--Billy Crystal's Mel Brooks-ish Miracle Max--pricks the dream bubble, and the spirited cast has a field day…

Review of Mr. & Mrs. Bridge (1990)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 14 Sep 1999

This deserves to be seen and cherished for at least a couple of reasons: first for Joanne Woodward's exquisitely multilayered and nuanced performance…

Review of A Civil Action (1998)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 01 Sep 1999

A multifaceted misfire from writer-director Steven Zaillian…

Review of What About Bob? (1991)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 25 Aug 1999

The concept itself is so strong - particularly as a revenge fantasy for anyone who's ever resented hypocritical exploitative shrinks - that…

Review of The Source (1999)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 19 Aug 1999

Documentary filmmaker Chuck Workman has a slick and entertaining way of stitching together old footage and practically no analytical or historical…

Review of Paradise Road (1997)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 17 Jun 1999

But the inspirational aspects of the tale--which mainly has to do with the determination of Close to form a vocal orchestra at the camp, despite…

Review of The Sweet Hereafter (1997)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 16 Jun 1999

The power and reach of this undertaking are formidable…

Review of Suburbia (1984)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 06 Jun 1999

Nevertheless, the cast of mainly unknowns is so good, and Linklater is so adept at playing them off one another, that the two-hour running…

Review of Amistad (1997)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 17 Apr 1999

There's some excellent comedy early on involving the mutual incomprehension of Africans and Americans, though this eventually gives way to…

Review of The Chamber (1996)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 06 Apr 1999

Material so bereft of plot and insight that all it can provide is actorly turns with no cogent means for tying them together…

Review of Naked Lunch (1991)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 11 Mar 1999

This David Cronenberg masterpiece (1991) breaks every rule in adapting a literary classic - maybe On Naked Lunch would be a more accurate title…

Review of Spanking the Monkey (1994)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 08 Mar 1999

Despite a certain originality, the movie isn't really a success, not only because the plot bites off more than it can chew (the film doesn't…

Review of In the Name of the Father (1993)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 13 Feb 1999

But the acting's so good it frequently transcends the simplicities of the script, and whenever Day-Lewis or Postlethwaite is on-screen the…

Review of I Stand Alone (1999)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 10 Jan 1999

A masterpiece of some kind, though clearly destined to be controversial and contested everywhere it shows—not only for the sexist, racist,…

Review of Ulee's Gold (1997)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 03 Jan 1999

Leisurely pacing of this kind is likely to register as a form of respect for the viewer's intelligence and observation…

Review of Guilty by Suspicion (1991)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 15 Dec 1998

Yes, the picture is flawed, but it is still something unusual in contemporary movies, a work that deserves to be called honorable, and not…

Review of Apollo 13 (1995)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 02 Dec 1998

This meticulous but ultimately rather pedestrian drama gradually won me over as a minor if watchable example of the victory through defeat…

Review of Tin Cup (1996)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 02 Nov 1998
