Review of Another Year (2010)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 13 Jan 2011

For all the warmth emanating from the film's core, thanks to Broadbent and Sheen, I don't know if Leigh has ever made a crueler picture…

Review of The Dilemma (2011)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 13 Jan 2011

Unexpectedly sour, The Dilemma barely qualifies as a comedy…

Review of The Green Hornet (2011)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 13 Jan 2011

Too much. Too numbing. Too coy. And ultimately too violent…

Review of The Dilemma (1919)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 13 Jan 2011

Unexpectedly sour, The Dilemma barely qualifies as a comedy…

Review of The Illusionist (2010)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 13 Jan 2011

Chomet himself has written the gentle waltz theme and other music. The piece glides by, effortlessly…

Review of The Road (2009)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 09 Jan 2011

The best thing about the film is Viggo Mortensen’s performance…

Review of Drillbit Taylor (2008)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 08 Jan 2011

Superbad” got a deserved R rating for its unmitigated and gleeful raunch. Drillbit Taylor is cleaner in mouth but far uglier in spirit…

Review of Blue Valentine (2010)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 07 Jan 2011

It's Williams you never question, who makes every detail and close-up and impulse natural. She's spectacularly good…

Review of Country Strong (2010)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 06 Jan 2011

My God is this script predictable…

Review of The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 29 Dec 2010

While the film is roughly half grit and half sugar, it works because Smith sticks to a tougher, more rewarding recipe of 99.9 percent grit…

Review of 27 Dresses (2008)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 26 Dec 2010

The eerily precise Heigl, who provided confident back-court support as the exile in Guyville also known as “Knocked Up,” has no trouble…

Review of The Simpsons Movie (2007)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 25 Dec 2010

It's hard not to like it. And in both senses of the phrase, America keeps asking for it…

Review of Rabbit Hole (2010)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 24 Dec 2010

Rretains what made it work on stage, chiefly a disarming sense of humor amid the grimmest sort of personal crisis, and a pair of juicy leading roles…

Review of Gulliver's Travels (2010)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 24 Dec 2010

The cast is enjoyable, with Jason Segel (as Gulliver's lil' pal, Horatio) and Emily Blunt (the local princess) a witty cut above for this sort…

Review of Rabbit Hole (2010)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 24 Dec 2010

Rretains what made it work on stage, chiefly a disarming sense of humor amid the grimmest sort of personal crisis, and a pair of juicy leading roles…

Review of Somewhere (2010)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 21 Dec 2010

A small but, in its way, daring picture set largely within the confines of the Chateau Marmont just above Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood…

Review of Little Fockers (2010)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 21 Dec 2010

The sole memorable scene involving a little Focker in Little Fockers, though memorable doesn't mean amusing, involves Ben Stiller's male-nurse…

Review of True Grit (2010)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 21 Dec 2010

The biggest change from the '69 True Grit is the best thing about this formidably well-crafted picture…

Review of The Tempest (2010)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 16 Dec 2010

She tackled The Tempest on stage, years ago…

Review of The Fighter (2010)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 16 Dec 2010

An off-center but exceptional boxing film I prefer in every aspect, especially one: It feels like it comes from real life as well as the movies…
