Review of Fright Night (2011)

Review of 30 Minutes or Less (2011)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 10 Aug 2011

Review of Final Destination 5 (2011)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 10 Aug 2011

If more of the picture had the inventively grotesque payoff of the scene set at the gymnastics tryout, capped by a female character's inarguably…

Review of Never Back Down (2008)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 09 Aug 2011

It’s a little “Karate Kid,” a smidge of “Fight Club” (with none of the ironic ambivalence toward violence that David Fincher brought…

Review of The Change-Up (2011)

Review of The Future (2011)

Review of Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 03 Aug 2011
