Review of A Farewell to Arms (1932)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 30 Oct 2004

It's not as good as the book, but it succeeds in its own right, which is really all I ask of adaptations…

Review of The Rose Tattoo (1955)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 30 Oct 2004

Anna Magnani shines ... but the stagebound feel of the film, and especially some wretched overacting by Burt Lancaster, almost sink it…

Review of Shaun of the Dead (2004)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 18 Oct 2004

It works best when it treats [the zombies] more as an impediment to be overcome by the sheer Britishness of the characters…

Review of The Yes Men (2003)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 18 Oct 2004

One doesn't often go to a documentary expecting belly laughs, but this one delivers more than its share…

Review of I ♥ Huckabees (2004)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 18 Oct 2004

Some good characters and some funny scenes, and maybe some insights, but that doesn't add up to as much as it might have…

Review of Friday Night Lights (2004)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 18 Oct 2004

[Made] with a skill and grace that lifts the material up; all of the actors, and everyone involved in the film's production, came together…

Review of Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry (2004)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 18 Oct 2004

It's not angry or loud; it hopes that the truth spoken at a moderate level is stronger than lies trumpeted on national television…

Review of Garden State (2004)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 18 Sep 2004

The film's saving grace, ironically, is that earnestness…

Review of Queen Christina (1934)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 18 Sep 2004

The whole is less than the sum of its parts, but it is of interest for four great scenes, one great closeup, and a homosexual subtext that…

Review of Paparazzi (1998)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 11 Sep 2004

The worst film I have seen in a long, long time…

Review of Paparazzi (1999)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 11 Sep 2004

The worst film I have seen in a long, long time…

Review of Paparazzi (1998)

The worst film I have seen in a long, long time…

Review of Paparazzi (2004)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 11 Sep 2004

Review of Paparazzi (1964)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 11 Sep 2004

The worst film I have seen in a long, long time…

Review of Silent Running (1972)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 11 Sep 2004

The most notable thing about it is its mixed message…

Review of Ladies They Talk About (1933)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 10 Sep 2004

[Stanwyck is] absolutely stunning, and even if the rest of the film wasn't any good (although it was), she really made it worth watching…

Review of AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 04 Sep 2004

Alien Vs. Predator was boring, which is the greatest crime a filmmaker can commit when making a movie like this…

Review of Flashdance (1983)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 03 Sep 2004

An utterly preposterous piece of Reagan-era bootstrapping propaganda…

Review of Collateral (2004)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 03 Sep 2004

I actually felt sorry for [Cruise] ... because everybody on the screen was better, more natural and convincing, than he was…

Review of The Village (2004)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 14 Aug 2004
