Review of Sweetie (1989)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 28 Feb 2002

A sometimes gripping, sometimes funny, and sometimes maddening portrait of a family that cannot deal with their internal problems…

Review of The Blackout (2014)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 28 Feb 2002

The presentation and the acting make you stop caring…

Review of Our Hospitality (1923)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 28 Feb 2002

Keaton is at his dour best here, playing his usual everyman who sticks his chin out and resolutely attempts to prevail over life's circumstances…

Review of The Yards (2000)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 28 Feb 2002

The true star of the film was the cinematography…

Review of Breathless (1983)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 28 Feb 2002

It works great on a theoretical level, but it doesn't really make for an exciting or all that interesting viewing experience…

Review of A Beautiful Mind (2001)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 28 Feb 2002

The strength of the film arises in the second half…

Review of The Pledge (2001)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 28 Feb 2002

The film's stately pace emphasizes Jerry's slow transformation, and there are a number of wonderful scenes, both visually and structurally…

Review of The Way of the Gun (2000)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 28 Feb 2002

So well-written, so clever, so innovative, and so aware of its place in the grand scheme of things that it is strangely empty of anything except…

Review of Impromptu (1989)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 28 Feb 2002

It's mildly funny, mildly dramatic, and well-acted enough…

Review of The Blue Gardenia (1953)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 28 Feb 2002

Rent it as an example of a film noir that strayed from the formula, not as a really great film…

Review of Nurse Betty (2000)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 28 Feb 2002

Nurse Betty combines sweet innocence with the depravity that LaBute heretofore specialized in, to concoct a riveting dramedy of obsession…

Review of Breathless (2009)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 28 Feb 2002

It works great on a theoretical level, but it doesn't really make for an exciting or all that interesting viewing experience…

Review of Begotten (1991)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 28 Feb 2002

I have said 'I have never seen anything like it' about other films, but it has never applied to something so entirely alien as this…

Review of Love's Labour's Lost (1985)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 28 Feb 2002

Might have worked a little better on stage, and with a few different actors…

Review of Some Like It Hot (1959)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 28 Feb 2002

I wish I could watch it again for the first time…

Review of Hannibal (2001)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 28 Feb 2002

An excuse for all types of revolting and offensive gore…

Review of Carnival of Souls (1962)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 28 Feb 2002

The visuals of this film make it worth watching…

Review of Five Easy Pieces (1970)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 28 Feb 2002

Critics praise the film's daring, lavishing it with undeserved attention even now, thirty years after it was released…

Review of The Last Seduction (1994)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 28 Feb 2002

Relentlessly inventive and blackly funny…

Review of Jezebel (1938)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 28 Feb 2002
