Review of The Queen of Versailles (2012)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 01 Aug 2012

An indelible portrait of an American family at its most blithely macabre…

Review of Giant (2009)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 01 Aug 2012

Gigante represents the sort of artful low-budget accomplishment that could, and should, be coming out of distressingly stingy Chicago once…

Review of Alice in Wonderland (2010)

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

The movie won't be for everyone -- it's a little rough for preteens, and it doesn't throw many laughs the audience's way -- but along with…

Review of Curious George (2006)

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

A mild off-season cinematic bid for the young and the restless…

Review of The Watch (2012)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 25 Jul 2012

It sticks in the craw. The whole movie does…

Review of A Cat in Paris (2010)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 25 Jul 2012

Some of the action (and violence) in A Cat in Paris borders on the jarring, and the slam-bang finale - set atop Notre Dame Cathedral - favors…

Review of Red Lights (2012)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 25 Jul 2012

The storytelling proceeds in such a halting manner, with De Niro's speeches going on and on and on, that before long you'd kill for an easy scare…

Review of Ruby Sparks (2012)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 24 Jul 2012

The picture, intelligent but mild, has more of a 10-volt hum than a true spark…

Review of The Lovely Bones (2009)

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

Jackson has not cast himself well, though. He has slathered the imagery in the wrong kind of wonderment and hyperbole, both on Earth and in heaven…

Review of The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 16 Jul 2012

Now comes The Dark Knight Rises, which makes The Dark Knight look like Dora the Explorer and is more of a 164-minute anxiety disorder than a movie…

Review of Neil Young Journeys (2012)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 11 Jul 2012

With its one-of-a-kind poetic lamentation, Young's voice sounds more peculiarly lovely than ever. A small picture, but good and true…

Review of Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 11 Jul 2012

It's not very funny, but your kids might like it…

Review of Take This Waltz (2011)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 11 Jul 2012

The actors are excellent…

Review of Doogal (2006)

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

The polite word for all this is repurposing, a euphemism for hauling someone else's garbage…

Review of Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 04 Jul 2012

But even with the great good efforts of Wallis, the results, to some of us, betray a distrustworthy slickness reminiscent of a British Petroleum…

Review of Savages (2012)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 04 Jul 2012

It's not as if Stone is above this sort of pulp…

Review of Katy Perry: Part of Me (2012)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 02 Jul 2012

When you see and hear so many fans of so many backgrounds expounding on what Firework means to them, you realize that while a song may or may…

Review of 21 (2008)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 02 Jul 2012

21 isn’t pretentious, exactly, but it’s damn close, and in trying to whip up a melodramatic morality tale the film becomes an increasingly…

Review of The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 01 Jul 2012

When a new actor slips on the Spandex for a superhero franchise reboot, we should, you know, notice. And we do with Andrew Garfield…

Review of Portrait of Wally (2012)

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

The documentary carrying the same name as Schiele's painting works like a suspense drama and a slippery chronicle of ownership, theft and vaguely…
