Review of Texas Killing Fields (2011)

Review of The Three Musketeers (2013)

By Brian Tallerico (1,600) for HollywoodChicago.com (623) on 20 Oct 2011

Review of Real Steel (2011)

By Adam Fendelman (235) for HollywoodChicago.com (623) on 07 Oct 2011

By Brian Tallerico (1,600) for HollywoodChicago.com (623) on 06 Oct 2011

Review of Miss Bala (2011)

Review of What's Your Number? (2011)

By Brian Tallerico (1,600) for HollywoodChicago.com (623) on 29 Sep 2011

A pale excuse for a chick flick that should look even more ghostly in light of the similarly-themed and far-superior Bridesmaids earlier this year…

Review of Killer Elite (2011)

Review of Brighton Rock (2010)

By Brian Tallerico (1,600) for HollywoodChicago.com (623) on 25 Aug 2011

It's a hollow film, concerned more with detail than emotion or character and so it comes off more like a filmmaking exercise than an engaging…

Review of Colombiana (2011)

By Brian Tallerico (1,600) for HollywoodChicago.com (623) on 25 Aug 2011
