Review of Head Games (2012)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 27 Sep 2012

It's solid and interesting work in the main, but Head Games can't help but feel like a come-down after The Interrupters…

Review of Hotel Transylvania (2012)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 26 Sep 2012

Dominated by Adam Sandler's D-minus Bela Lugosi impression, the 3-D animated feature Hotel Transylvania illustrates the difference between…

Review of Won't Back Down (2012)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 26 Sep 2012

Davis, in particular, manages to create a fully dimensional character in the midst of a highly polemical screenplay…

Review of Run Fatboy Run (2007)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 26 Sep 2012

One of the problems with the new comedy Run, Fat Boy, Run is that it’s not English enough, even though its antagonist is a thoroughly detestable…

Review of Life As We Know It (2010)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 23 Sep 2012

The movie begins with a tragedy and eases into a more interesting blend of drama and comedy than we've gotten in this genre lately…

Review of Detropia (2012)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 20 Sep 2012

The oddly beautiful documentary made by Heidi Ewing and Rachel Gray is subtler and richer than its blunt title suggests…

Review of Hello I Must Be Going (2012)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 19 Sep 2012

There are times when the facile flimsiness of Hello I Must Be Going threatens to float right off the screen…

Review of Dredd (2012)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 19 Sep 2012

Calling Dredd 3D a movie is sort of a lie…

Review of The Master (2012)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 19 Sep 2012

The Master is brilliantly, wholly itself for a little more than half of its 137 minutes…

Review of Trouble with the Curve (2012)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 19 Sep 2012

Wholly predictable yet serenely enjoyable…

Review of A Prophet (2009)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 17 Sep 2012

A Prophet pushes its protagonist into circumstances he did not choose but in which he watches and learns and kills and eventually becomes all…

Review of Arbitrage (2012)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 12 Sep 2012

Part Law & Order morality play, part Wall Street with a dash of the more recent and topically pertinent Margin Call, Arbitrage hums along,…

Review of Iron Man 2 (2010)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 08 Sep 2012

A movie like this can handle a large character roster, but it helps if the story retains clean lines and a sense of propulsion…

Review of Samsara (2011)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 05 Sep 2012

Samsara is gorgeous. And sometimes, depending on expectations, looks are enough…

Review of The Words (2012)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 05 Sep 2012

It's more or less a grown-up picture, and not bad at that, though its muted and patient style has both its merits and its drawbacks…

Review of Sleepwalk with Me (2012)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 31 Aug 2012

With a refreshing lack of fake glamour, the film captures what it's like to be an initially unpromising comedian on the road…

Review of Compliance (2012)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 29 Aug 2012

The very antonym of fun, writer-director Craig Zobel's new film Compliance is one of the toughest sits of the movie year 2012…

Review of For a Good Time, Call... (2012)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 29 Aug 2012

Even if the film should be retitled For a Fairly Good Time, Call…

Review of Lawless (2012)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 28 Aug 2012

This should've been a really good picture, especially with Hillcoat's crack ensemble…

Review of A Single Man (2009)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 28 Aug 2012

Some films aren't revelations, exactly, but they burrow so deeply into old truths about love and loss and the mess and thrill of life, they…
