Review of The Captain (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 07 Aug 2018

The movie’s an artfully sustained guessing game, tense and rarely dull…

Review of Puzzle (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 07 Aug 2018

Much of Puzzle feels schematic and, in the convenient solution to the family’s financial problems, a bit lazy…

Review of Puzzle (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 06 Aug 2018

Much of Puzzle feels schematic and, in the convenient solution to the family’s financial problems, a bit lazy…

Review of Christopher Robin (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 02 Aug 2018

The core human/bear connection is treated with respect. Pooh’s wisdom and kindness cannot be denied…

Review of The Spy Who Dumped Me (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 01 Aug 2018

McKinnon’s apparent improvisations and inventions create a second, better movie in the margins…

Review of Eighth Grade (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 25 Jul 2018

Eighth Grade works you over, audience wincing followed by audience gratification, narrative tension followed by release, crises leading to…

Review of Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 17 Jul 2018

Some of it’s pleasingly old school in its reliance on formidable stunt work…

Review of Blindspotting (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 16 Jul 2018

That’s Blindspotting all over: an exuberant, brightly colored, zigzagging portrait of a city, an uneasy transformation and a friendship…

Review of Sorry to Bother You (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 12 Jul 2018

It’s a provocative, serious, ridiculous, screwy concoction about whiteface, cultural code-switching, African-American identities and twisted…

Review of Diary of the Dead (2007)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 06 Jul 2018

The way Diary of the Dead chooses to deliver its gore, you know you’re in the hands of a grown-up uninterested in the excesses of the “Saw”…

Review of The First Purge (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 02 Jul 2018

The latest “Purge” is an erratic, fairly absorbing and righteously angry prequel…

Review of Damsel (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 27 Jun 2018

Wasikowska struggles to activate a vague notion of female disenfranchisement and victimhood, triumphant…

Review of Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 27 Jun 2018

At its mean, snakelike best, it’s also a brutally assured commercial action picture, unburdened by the moral qualms or unnerving ambiguity…

Review of Uncle Drew (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 27 Jun 2018

It’s fun to hang out with these people for a while…

Review of Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 26 Jun 2018

Visually here’s the crucial thing with Ant-Man and the Wasp, and it sounds like a small thing, but really it’s a big thing: The sequel…

Review of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 20 Jun 2018

I like the new “Jurassic World” movie better than the 2015 edition…

Review of Five Seasons: The Gardens of Piet Oudolf (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 20 Jun 2018

Like Oudolf, the filmmaker sees the plants first, always, without denying the people or the other built environments around them…

Review of Tag (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 13 Jun 2018

I kind of hate the movie’s mixture of bro comedy, sadistic practical jokes (don’t call it slapstick) and last-ditch pull for the heartstrings…

Review of SuperFly (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 11 Jun 2018

If you can forget about the movie’s general moral vacuousness, the extremely uneven digital photography and the slavish devotion to designer…

Review of Incredibles 2 (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 10 Jun 2018

Bird’s rather strenuous sequel lands more in the camp of “Cars 2” and “Monsters University,” mistaking calamity and mayhem for real…
