Review of Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 23 Apr 2018

The film has its momentary diversions, a few good throwaway jokes amid a tremendous amount of PG-13 maiming and destruction…

Review of WALL·E (2008)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 19 Apr 2018

While I may argue with the little guy's taste in musicals, it's remarkable to see any film, in any genre, blend honest sentiment with genuine…

Review of I Feel Pretty (2018)

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

It’s just not funny or fresh enough, and that has everything to do with the material and how it’s handled visually, and nothing to do with…

Review of The Awful Truth (1937)

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

This is Grant's first truly remarkable performance, morphing a romantic leading man into a suave, impish clown…

Review of You Were Never Really Here (2017)

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

The story lurches forward in spasms. We’re fully in the head space of a messed-up, hollowed-out psyche…

Review of Lean on Pete (2018)

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

In the best way, this is a tough movie to shake, and while it believes in the kindness of strangers, Lean on Pete never forgets every other…

Review of Rampage (2018)

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

Nobody goes to a movie like Rampage for the poetry, but truly this is a terrible screenplay, credited to four writers and tonally all over the place…

Review of Blockers (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 04 Apr 2018

A little of Barinholtz goes a pretty good distance for me, but sharing scenes with Mann (who has the timing of a wizard) and blocklike Cena…

Review of A Quiet Place (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 04 Apr 2018

My favorite moment, an encounter between Regan and one of the monsters in a cornfield, plays with sound and image and tension, creatively…

Review of Chappaquiddick (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 04 Apr 2018

Chappaquiddick misses that target…

Review of A Quiet Place (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 04 Apr 2018

Working from a script he wrote with Bryan Woods and Scott Beck, director Krasinski exhibits a sure sense of what will hold the audience, moment…

Review of Isle of Dogs (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 28 Mar 2018

What’s frustrating about this worthwhile movie is pretty simple: All Anderson needed to do, really, was to let more of the characters, dog…

Review of Ready Player One (2018)

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

Spielberg’s control of pacing, rhythm, action dynamics and tonal juggling is so astute that the story of Wade never quite gets lost in all…

Review of Foxtrot (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 22 Mar 2018

This is the second feature from Maoz; his first, the superb “Lebanon” (2009), is one of the essential war pictures of the young century…

Review of Unsane (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 22 Mar 2018

It’s a grubby, fairly intriguing genre exercise given a weird, did-it-myself-in-a-hurry visual quality…

Review of Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 21 Mar 2018

Pacific Rim: Uprising may be not be much, but in the spirit of the film itself, let’s be realistic…

Review of 7 Days in Entebbe (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 15 Mar 2018

An honorable, evenhanded but curiously flat interpretation of events…

Review of The Death of Stalin (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 15 Mar 2018

Mordant in the extreme, and often hilarious, The Death of Stalin somehow manages to acknowledge the murderous depths of Josef Stalin’s regime…

Review of Tomb Raider (2018)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 14 Mar 2018

The Lara Croft reboot Tomb Raider isn’t half bad for an hour. Then there’s another hour. That hour is quite bad…

Review of Ghost Town (2010)

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

A welcome surprise: a supernatural romantic comedy that works, graced with a cast just off-center enough to make it distinctive…
