Review of The Hurt Locker (2008)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 25 Jan 2015

[Kathryn] Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal...have made the first fictional feature about American soldiers in Iraq that doesn't fall apart,…

Review of The Ant Bully (2006)

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

It lacks a sharp look and satisfyingly fleshed-out story and compensates with one numbing round of insect- or human-based peril after another…

Review of Cake (2014)

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

I wish the movie were messier, more surprising…

Review of The Boy Next Door (2015)

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

Review of American Sniper (2014)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 15 Jan 2015

Review of Two Days, One Night (2014)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 15 Jan 2015

As is, Cotillard (nominated for best actress) scrupulously avoids melodrama…

Review of Blackhat (2015)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 15 Jan 2015

A thickly plotted disappointment, yet it has three or four big sequences proving that director Michael Mann, who gave us Thief, Heat, Collateral…

Review of A Most Violent Year (2014)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 15 Jan 2015

Review of Paddington (2014)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 15 Jan 2015

Any movie that manages to work in a dig at the National Theatre's heavier pretensions — in a subway sequence, Paddington trots by a National…

Review of Inherent Vice (2014)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 08 Jan 2015

For some of us, Anderson's LA lamentation is a siren song, and there's no more ardent and poetic chronicler of California mythology…

Review of Leviathan (2014)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 08 Jan 2015

It's a small story set in a memorably desolate location…

Review of Le Week-End (2013)

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

Before long the movie -- as neatly constructed as it is -- isn't really behaving like a movie, but more like life, as it's lived by a fractious…

Review of Winter Sleep (2014)

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

I love it, not simply because I love Chekhov or because I've loved so much of Ceylan's earlier work…

Review of Salma (2014)

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