Real Women Have Curves (2002) 85% “Some pieces of the plot feel dishonest, others contrived, but this 2002 feature also has some nicely observed details and plenty of good messages.” – Chicago Reader Sep 10, 2021 Full Review The Great Bear (2011) “Kids with short attention spans, trained on the rapid-fire pacing of American animated films, may find the tempo of this Danish feature plodding-but even the most restless could get drawn in by the film's gentle spell.” – Time Out Jun 24, 2020 Full Review Reign of Fire (2002) 41% “An odd cross between Mad Max and Dragonheart, this movie is all borrowed ideas, but it's still trashy fun.” – Chicago Reader Mar 31, 2019 Full Review Big Men (2013) 100% 3/4 “In "Big Men", Rachel Boynton offers a case study in how the promise of big wealth brings out the ruthless self-interest of all the parties concerned.” – RogerEbert.com Mar 14, 2014 Full Review Cherish (2002) 51% “The mix of tones can be jarring, but it all has an odd charm.” – Chicago Reader Feb 13, 2014 Full Review 4 (Chetyre) (2006) 75% 3/5 “Khrzhanovsky and screenwriter Vladimir Sorokin have both the grim ideas and the little sideways winks in perfect equilibrium in the brilliant first half hour of this strange film. The rest of the film is certainly memorable, if increasingly impenetrable.” – Time Out Chicago Nov 5, 2013 Full Review Five Dances (2013) 62% 2.5/4 “Just when the plotting had me sighing with impatience, Brown would get back into showing us rehearsal and things would liven up again. It's in the recording of dance that this movie comes alive.” – RogerEbert.com Oct 11, 2013 Full Review Haute Cuisine (2012) 69% 3/4 “This movie keeps up a vigorous pace and carries you along on the force of its self-confidence.” – RogerEbert.com Sep 23, 2013 Full Review The Patience Stone (2012) 84% 2.5/4 “The details of the woman's life are like a crash course in the sociology of a country living through turmoil ...” – RogerEbert.com Sep 16, 2013 Full Review Touchy Feely (2013) 41% 2.5/4 “I wanted to like this movie more than I did.” – RogerEbert.com Sep 6, 2013 Full Review Hero (2002) 94% “The result is both thrilling and thoughtful, offering imaginative action sequences as it considers questions of loyalty and the individual's role in history.” – Chicago Reader Aug 5, 2013 Full Review Dealin' With Idiots (2013) 33% 2/4 “It's really an excuse to give a bunch of terrific actors a chance to riff in scenes that feel improvised. Unfortunately, the results feel shaggy and unstructured.” – RogerEbert.com Jul 12, 2013 Full Review Desert Fury (1947) 70% 4/5 “It could easily have been a horrible jumble, but in fact it's compulsively watchable.” – Time Out Chicago Nov 27, 2012 Full Review Feast of Love (2007) 39% 3/5 “There's only so much Freeman's gorgeous voiceover can do to hold it all together.” – Time Out Chicago Aug 24, 2012 Full Review Beaufort (2007) 86% 3/5 “Cedar overcomes the generic characters and formulaic "which innocent will die next in an ironic twist" plotting by his attention to detail.” – Time Out Chicago Aug 23, 2012 Full Review Cosmopolis (2012) 67% 4/5 “Watching Cosmopolis, it's hard to say if you're witnessing a revelation or a crock, but you'll hang on its every word.” – Time Out Chicago Aug 23, 2012 Full Review Live Free or Die Hard (2007) 82% 4/5 “Brainless? Sure. Entertaining? Yup.” – Time Out Chicago Aug 14, 2012 Full Review Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) 83% 3/5 “For Potter-ites, there are plenty of satisfactions to be had, but the fun mostly comes from recognizing plot points from the novel merely suggested onscreen.” – Time Out Chicago Aug 13, 2012 Full Review Chernobyl Diaries (2012) 18% 2/5 “Director Bradley Parker shakes his camera around a lot.” – Time Out May 29, 2012 Full Review Slumdog Millionaire (2008) 91% 4/5 “It's a big, exuberant film that revels in the joy of a good story.” – Time Out Chicago Feb 22, 2012 Full Review West Side Story (1961) 92% 5/5 “You have to admire the way every aspect of the film works toward the emotional impact.” – Time Out Chicago Feb 22, 2012 Full Review Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) 93% 3/5 “It's also a fairly entertaining children's story. But for kids? Let's say it's a film for Wes Anderson.” – Time Out Chicago Feb 16, 2012 Full Review The Godfather (1972) 97% “It's hard to find a moment in the film that isn't great. The Godfather lives up to the term masterpiece.” – Time Out Chicago Feb 13, 2012 Full Review Up (2009) 98% 5/5 “The pacing is perfect, the animation looks terrific, the emotional range is wide, and there are a few sly jokes you might not catch the first time around. That's okay; you'll want to see it a second time anyway.” – Time Out Chicago Feb 13, 2012 Full Review Good Luck Chuck (2007) 5% 1/5 “We've never gotten the appeal of Cook, and this did nothing to explain it.” – Time Out Chicago Feb 8, 2012 Full Review
