Review of Jurassic World (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 09 Jun 2015

Bailed out by a few good jolts, Jurassic World gets by, barely, as a marauding-dinosaurs narrative designed for a more jaded audience than…

Review of Changeling (2008)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 05 Jun 2015

Changeling fundamentally works; it holds you…

Review of Love & Mercy (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 03 Jun 2015

We've had plenty of good musical biopics (Walk the Line, Control) and a handful of better ones (Sid and Nancy, the more recent Get On Up)…

Review of Spy (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 03 Jun 2015

The fun of Spy comes in watching the right actors mess with their own images, blithely…

Review of Entourage (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 01 Jun 2015

Piven's performance basically made the series, and to the degree the new film works, which is a little, he makes that too…

Review of San Andreas (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 27 May 2015

I enjoyed large chunks of San Andreas, largely because the actors give it a full load of sincerity, and there's some bizarrely effective comic…

Review of Aloha (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 27 May 2015

Despite a blue-chip cast, Aloha is just frustrating…

Review of The Girl Who Played with Fire (2009)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 24 May 2015

The second film lingers less determinedly on the degradation of Lisbeth and concentrates more on moving the narrative furniture around…

Review of I'll See You in My Dreams (2003)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 20 May 2015

It's a relief — even though the movie isn't much — to see Danner in a leading role on screen again…

Review of I'll See You in My Dreams (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 20 May 2015

It's a relief — even though the movie isn't much — to see Danner in a leading role on screen again…

Review of Pitch Perfect 2 (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 13 May 2015

It's a two-hour lesson in how to act like a frenemy to your alleged friends. And it's not funny enough…

Review of Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 11 May 2015

The creator of the original Mad Max trilogy has whipped up a gargantuan grunge symphony of vehicular mayhem that makes Furious 7 look like…

Review of Far from the Madding Crowd (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 06 May 2015

I can't help but wish this new Far From the Madding Crowd came with the thrill of interpretive discovery, the way Jane Campion gave Henry James…

Review of Welcome to Me (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 06 May 2015

The movie is small, but the actors make it seem larger, like binoculars turned around the right way…

Review of Love in the Time of Cholera (2007)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 02 May 2015

Newell has done some fine work in all sorts of genres, from “Four Weddings and a Funeral” to “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,”…

Review of Hyena (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 29 Apr 2015

At its most palatable the film recalls The Long Good Friday; at its harshest, it's a grotty cousin to The Bad Lieutenant…

Review of Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 27 Apr 2015

Entertaining as much of Avengers 2 is, especially when it's just hanging out with the gang in between scuffles (the Guardians of the Galaxy…

Review of Welcome to New York (2014)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 22 Apr 2015

The film, a sleek and oddly moving study in the cost of debauchery, has its gleeful excesses…

Review of The Water Diviner (2014)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 22 Apr 2015

Crowe's feature directorial debut, The Water Diviner, stems from an honest impulse to dramatize ordinary people who honor their dead…

Review of Little Boy (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 22 Apr 2015
