By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 19 Feb 2007

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 17 Feb 2007

Review of Music and Lyrics (2007)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 13 Feb 2007

Review of Pursuit of Happyness (2005)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 13 Jan 2007

The screenwriting 101 plot points tick off like clockwork, but Will Smith delivers a solid, likable performance that will likely result in…

Review of Dreamgirls (2006)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 02 Jan 2007

Unfortunately, nothing else in the film is even in the same galaxy as Hudson's song ['And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going']…

Review of Casino Royale (2006)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 29 Nov 2006

A muscular action film blissfully free of winking…

Review of Catch a Fire (2006)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 13 Nov 2006

A pretty good TV movie with one great performance…

Review of Blackboards (2000)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 04 Nov 2006

The entire film is saved by its periphery, where Makhamalbaf stops trying to teach us a lesson…

Review of Three Coins in the Fountain (1954)

By Michael W. Phillips, Jr. (528) for Goatdog's Movies (527) on 23 Oct 2006
