Review of Alien: Covenant (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 17 May 2017

It's a maddeningly uneven picture, with an action climax staged and executed with the air of a contractual agreement…

Review of Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 16 May 2017

I’m flummoxed as to why the movie left me feeling up in the air, as opposed to over the moon…

Review of Supercross (2005)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 13 May 2017

The movie itself has no edge. It barely has a movie…

Review of Despicable Me (2010)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 12 May 2017

Is the movie itself good? Half-good, I'd say - the second, more openly sentimental half…

Review of The Wall (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 11 May 2017

The Wall may be fictional, but at its occasional, patient best it feels truthfully scary…

Review of Snatched (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 10 May 2017

Snatched, more about victimhood than women running their own show, is funny here and there, but in ways that make the bulk of the formulaic…

Review of The Wall (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 10 May 2017

The Wall may be fictional, but at its occasional, patient best it feels truthfully scary…

Review of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 08 May 2017

Optimism is nowhere to be found in Ritchie's movie itself…

Review of License to Wed (2007)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 07 May 2017

Williams' grimace is starting to look desperate. Then again, no one comes off well in director Ken Kwapis' handling of this greasy screenplay…

Review of The Dinner (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 03 May 2017

The finished product feels tonally indistinct and plays as a bit of a grind…

Review of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 02 May 2017

This one's a step down from the original…

Review of What Goes Up (2009)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 21 Apr 2017

Nothing in this movie is properly focused; everyone keeps talking about a character whom we never meet and does not matter; the tone keeps…

Review of The Lost City of Z (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 19 Apr 2017

This is a really good film. It just isn't the traditionally rousing one many will expect, and the trailers promise…

Review of Norman: The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer (2016)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 19 Apr 2017

A vital and wily seriocomic odyssey. And Gere has never been better, more alive, on screen…

Review of Colossal (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 12 Apr 2017

This weird marriage of indie earnestness and matter-of-fact fantasy gives Colossal its moderately engaging distinction…

Review of Gran Torino (2008)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 12 Apr 2017

Eastwood's foursquare directorial aesthetic tends to heighten, rather than camouflage, a screenplay's shortcomings…

Review of The Fate of the Furious (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 11 Apr 2017

It's ridiculous but fun, as it careens from Havana to Berlin and icy, terrorist-ridden Russia played by Iceland, and a spit-ton of medium-grade…

Review of Clerks II (2006)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 07 Apr 2017

More sentimental and ruder than its predecessor, though its brand of raunch tends to curdle halfway out of the characters' mouths…

Review of Going in Style (1979)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 05 Apr 2017

Going in Style stays in the safe zone every second, nervous about risking any audience discomfort, as opposed to Brest's quietly nervy ode…

Review of Gifted (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 05 Apr 2017

This contrived mashup of Proof (earth-shaking algorithms), Kramer vs. Kramer (nerve-wracking custody battles) and Little Man Tate really isn't much…
