Review of Monkey Shines (1988)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 28 Nov 1996

Despite a hokey prologue and ending (the latter imposed by producer Charles Evans), this is one of George Romero's most effective and interesting…

Review of Postcards from the Edge (1990)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 10 Nov 1996

Among the pleasures to be found here are some amusing sidelong glances at how movies get made and the singing talent of Streep as well as MacLaine…

Review of The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 05 Nov 1996

Terry Gilliam's third fantasy feature (1989) may not achieve all it reaches for, but it goes beyond Time Bandits and Brazil in its play with…

Review of Pulp Fiction (1994)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 04 Oct 1996

Tarantino's mock-tough narrative--which derives most of its titillation from farcical mayhem, drugs, deadpan macho monologues, evocations of…

Review of Walking and Talking (1996)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 08 Sep 1996

Reasonably lifelike and nicely acted (Keener is especially good), but otherwise nothing special, this is an OK light comedy…

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 22 Aug 1996

The script by Nicholas St…

Review of The Crying Game (1992)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 18 Aug 1996

An adroit piece of storytelling from Irish writer-director Neil Jordan that's ultimately less challenging to conventional notions about race…

Review of Forrest Gump (1994)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 22 Jun 1996

The results are skillful, highly affecting, and ultimately more than a little pernicious…

Review of Misery (1990)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 13 Jun 1996

The economy of both script and direction is admirable—there's no wasted motion in sight—though the film's anthology of genre cliches ultimately…

Review of Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead (1995)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 20 Apr 1996

Alas, most of the surprise and the wit to be found here ends with the title…

Review of Salt of the Earth (1954)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 06 Apr 1996

Leftist propaganda of a very high order, powerful and intelligent even when the film registers in spots as naive or dated…

Review of Batman (1989)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 15 Jan 1996

The main problem is that Burton operates best on a modest scale; saddled with a blockbuster, he doesn't know how to animate all the dead space…

Review of The Godfather Part III (1990)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 04 Jan 1996

A provocative and stirring climax to the Corleone saga, as well as an autonomous work that sometimes shows Coppola at his near best…

Review of Searching for Bobby Fischer (1993)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 23 Dec 1995

One of the craftiest and most satisfying pieces about gender politics to come along in ages…

Review of King Kong (1976)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 13 Dec 1995

It clocks in at over three hours, but Peter Jackson's remake of the 1933 classic is gripping nonetheless…

Review of School Ties (1992)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 11 Dec 1995

A bewildering mixture of fairly accomplished storytelling (I enjoyed it more than Dead Poets Society, which isn't saying a lot), awkward contrivances…

Review of Boomerang (1992)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 08 Dec 1995

The general idea is to exploit a certain amount of role reversal, and Reginald Hudlin, who directed House Party, does a fairly good job of…

Review of Hudson Hawk (1991)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 14 Nov 1995

It doesn't have the polish or the momentum of an Indiana Jones adventure, and isn't too engaging on the plot level, but at least the filmmakers…

Review of Clockers (1995)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 30 Oct 1995

The performances are strong, but the spectator often feels adrift in an overly busy intrigue…
