Review of Cowboys & Aliens (2011)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 27 Jul 2011

The component genre parts coexist, excitingly, without veering into camp or facetious desperation…

Review of A Little Help (2010)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 27 Jul 2011

A Little Help settles for familiar and modest payoffs. It's not much…

Review of The Karate Kid (2010)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 27 Jul 2011

Review of Arctic Tale (2007)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 24 Jul 2011

Watching bear cubs and walrus pups struggling to survive against increasingly tough odds, and on ever-slushier ice shelves, has both its shamelessly…

Review of The Dying Gaul (2005)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 22 Jul 2011

The Dying Gaul stays interesting even when it asks more and more--too much, probably--of the audience's disbelief suspension…

Review of Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 20 Jul 2011

The most stylish comics-derived entertainment of the year...It's paced and designed for people who won't shrivel up and die if two or three…

Review of Friends with Benefits (2011)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 20 Jul 2011

I enjoy both Timberlake and Kunis; just this side of manic, they seem right together…

Review of Friends (With Benefits) (2010)

I enjoy both Timberlake and Kunis; just this side of manic, they seem right together…

Review of Snow Flower and the Secret Fan (2011)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 20 Jul 2011

The gentle erotic undertow in the friendship of Snow Flower and Lily has been toned down, and replaced by … niceness…

Review of Terri (2011)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 20 Jul 2011

Wysocki is a genuine talent, as is Jacobs, but the subject of Terri remains a pleasant blur…

Review of City of Ember (2008)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 20 Jul 2011

If older kids and adults seek out this picture, which 20th Century Fox and Walden Media clearly aren't sure how to sell, they may well find…

Review of Beats Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest (2011)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 13 Jul 2011

The best material, however, keeps returning to the unstable power dynamic between Q-Tip and Dawg…

Review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 12 Jul 2011

It's virtually non-stop action, though director David Yates, who has taken good care of these final four, ever-meaner Potter adventures, does…

Review of An Unfinished Life (2005)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 12 Jul 2011

Nothing unexpected happens in An Unfinished Life--the title comes from the engraving on the dead son's headstone--but Canada sure looks lovely,…

Review of Project Nim (2011)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 06 Jul 2011

Review of Horrible Bosses (2011)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 06 Jul 2011

Cleverly structured, Horrible Bosses works in spite of its cruder, scrotum-centric instincts…

Review of Monte Carlo (2011)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 29 Jun 2011

Unlike a few other well-drilled young actress-singers we could name, such as the one whose name rhymes with Riley Myrus, Gomez knows how to…

Review of Over the Hedge (2006)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 29 Jun 2011

Even with Levy and O'Hara and Shandling adding what they can, you can only enjoy the voices behind the critters so much when the images fall so short…
