Pulp Fiction (1994)
Publish Date: October 13, 2024
"In between the violence, the real pleasure of 'Pulp Fiction' is listening to these folks talk. If you smile at David Mamet's dialogue, you'll laugh out loud at the words of Quentin Tarantino (...) Rating: **** (out of 4)"

Chicago Tribune
Let It Be (1970)
Publish Date: May 8, 2024
"It certainly was exciting (...) Rating: *** (out of 4)"

Chicago Tribune
The Natural (1984)
Publish Date: October 14, 1999
"Being a baseball fan involves repeatedly experiencing exquisite pain and exquisite joy. Well, there's a lot of both in The Natural."

Chicago Tribune
Z (1969)
Publish Date: October 14, 1999
"It is a great film for many reasons, not the least of which is that it can be enjoyed as a political thriller as well as a political statement (…) Rating: **** (out of 4)"

Chicago Tribune
Babe (1995)
Publish Date: August 3, 1995
"A terrific picture that takes a lot of risks and makes them all pay off in a charming story"

Chicago Reader
Pocahontas (1995)
Publish Date: June 15, 1995
"A surprisingly mature film (...) Thoughtful and beautifully drawn (…) Rating: ***½ (out of 4)"

Chicago Tribune
Interview With the Vampire (1994)
Publish Date: November 10, 1994
"Director Neil Jordan has always had an affinity for underdogs, and he has created a film that can be viewed as empathetic to any oppressed group. Homosexuals may claim it as their emotional story"

Chicago Reader
Cliffhanger (1993)
Publish Date: May 27, 1993
"Take away the mountains and what you have is a howlingly bad action film"

Chicago Tribune
El mariachi (1992)
Publish Date: March 11, 1993
"An energetic and humorous action picture (...) This is a good movie regardless of its budget"

Chicago Tribune
The Crying Game (1992)
Publish Date: December 17, 1992
"A stunning drama about what constitutes real courage (...) one of the year`s best films."

Chicago Tribune
Forever Young (1992)
Publish Date: December 17, 1992
"[It] seems calculated, manufactured and phony (...) A ripoff screenplay as shameless as this might survive if the casting were particularly good"

Chicago Reader
White Men Can't Jump (1992)
Publish Date: March 26, 1992
''A fresh and exuberant romantic comedy that is as smart about playground basketball as ''Bull Durham'' was about minor league baseball"

Chicago Tribune
Backdraft (1991)
Publish Date: May 23, 1991
"'Backdraft' is a spectacle worth observing; it may also generate a little more respect for firemen, everyday heroes who don`t need the movies to polish their image."

Chicago Reader
Home Alone (1990)
Publish Date: November 15, 1990
"A cloying holiday comedy (...) Rating: ** (out of 4)"

Chicago Tribune
Days of Thunder (1990)
Publish Date: June 28, 1990
"Good writing by Robert Towne and a host of strong supporting performances complement the on-the-track visuals of director Tony Scott in giving us a sense of the leap of faith that is required by drivers at this level."

Chicago Reader
The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover (1989)
Publish Date: April 5, 1990
"A bold, strident, purposefully aggressive film that portrays an adult version of the same decadent world that Stanley Kubrick presented on film in 'A Clockwork Orange'."

Chicago Reader
Driving Miss Daisy (1989)
Publish Date: January 11, 1990
"A rarity in that a play has been successfully transferred to film without having the dialogue seem 'written' (…) Rating: ***½ (out of 4)"

Chicago Tribune
Cocktail (1988)
Publish Date: July 28, 1988
"[It] is all predictable melodrama. What sells the film are the splashy bar scenes between Cruise and Brown in the first half of the movie"

Chicago Tribune
Vagabond (1985)
Publish Date: August 7, 1986
"A masterpiece, clearly one of the finest films in many a year. At once it couldn`t be more simple, and yet it is quite complex (…) Rating: *** (out of 4)"

Chicago Tribune
Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986)
Publish Date: May 22, 1986
"It does nothing for me, absolutely nothing, to see little kids scream in horror as special effects clouds and horrific creatures swirl around them (…) Rating: * (out of 4)"
