Review of Toy Story 4 (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 13 Jun 2019

Review of The Last Black Man in San Francisco (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 12 Jun 2019

The musical score by Emile Mosseri of the band The Dig, is very fine stuff, supple and surprising in its blend of classical, jazz and pop strains…

Review of Men in Black: International (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 11 Jun 2019

Men in Black: International isn’t bad; it’s an improvement over “Men in Black II” (2002) and “Men in Black 3” (2012), sequels that…

Review of Dark Phoenix (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 03 Jun 2019

Review of Rocketman (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 29 May 2019

It moves with confidence; it’s vivid; it pulls off a riskier, full-on musical fantasy version of one pop superstar’s story…

Review of Always Be My Maybe (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 29 May 2019

In every good way, thanks primarily to Wong and Park and their chemistry, Always Be My Maybe is pure commercial product, yet it feels authentically…

Review of Godzilla, King of the Monsters! (1956)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 28 May 2019

The script’s quippy streak could’ve used better jokes…

Review of Booksmart (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 21 May 2019

Review of Aladdin (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 21 May 2019

As stand-alones, some of these work better than others…

Review of John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 13 May 2019

The movie’s sleekly assaultive aesthetic owes everything to the gaming world, but the amalgamation of practical, physical effects and digital…

Review of Roll Red Roll (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 09 May 2019

Schwartzman’s film is a strong, cogent examination of outrage, coolly and carefully documented, one text, tweet and reckoning at a time…

Review of The Hustle (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 08 May 2019

Review of Tolkien (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 06 May 2019

Review of Hail Satan? (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 01 May 2019

The musical score, and some of director Lane’s editing strategies, have a way of playing into the more comic aspects…

Review of Avengers: Endgame (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 22 Apr 2019

It’s the time travel conceit that keeps “Endgame” hopping, and the trial-and-error sequences recall some of the best parts of the first…

Review of Penguins (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 18 Apr 2019

In the spirit of previous Disneynature film voiceover artists John C…

Review of Diane (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 10 Apr 2019

It’s harder than it should be to describe Kent Jones’ Diane in a way that makes it sound distinctive or special, which it is…

Review of The Best of Enemies (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 03 Apr 2019
