Red One (2024) 30% EDIT “With all its North Pole mayhem, Red One plays like a feature-length version of The Night the Reindeer Died, the Christmas movie spoof that kicked off Scrooged (1988). But that was satire, and Red One isn’t kidding. ” – Chicago Reader Nov 20, 2024 Full Review Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger (2024) 99% EDIT “Martin Scorsese is the narrator and guide in this inviting documentary about British filmmakers Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger.” – Chicago Reader Jul 25, 2024 Full Review Unfrosted (2024) 39% EDIT “This film is so eager to please that it ends with a song and dance number AND bloopers; mileage will vary on whether that frosts your flakes.” – Chicago Reader May 3, 2024 Full Review The Beekeeper (2024) 71% EDIT “Clay dispatches his adversaries with characteristic Statham aplomb, which, apologies to Nicole Kidman, is why we come to this place.” – Chicago Reader Jan 19, 2024 Full Review Common Ground (2023) 81% EDIT “This film might make you just as much a true believer. Yes, Virginia, there is regenerative agriculture.” – Chicago Reader Nov 17, 2023 Full Review Miranda's Victim (2023) 81% EDIT “The distinguished cast (Andy Garcia as Miranda’s initial lawyer and Donald Sutherland as a compassionate judge) is uniformly excellent.” – RogerEbert.com Oct 10, 2023 Full Review What the Hell Happened to Blood, Sweat & Tears? (2023) 81% EDIT “It’s a long overdue vindication for the band.” – Chicago Reader May 17, 2023 Full Review Skin: A History of Nudity in the Movies (2020) 85% 4/5 EDIT “There is more to this by turns hilarious, harrowing and heartbreaking documentary than what were in less woke times called "the good parts."” – AARP Movies for Grownups Aug 14, 2020 Full Review Who Is Henry Jaglom? (1996) 86% EDIT “As intimate, confrontational and, at times, maddening as Jaglom's films. It would be equally fascinating either to his rhapsodic fans or to merciless critics.” – Chicago Tribune Feb 13, 2017 Full Review When Comedy Went to School (2013) 53% 2.5/4 EDIT “One minute it's about the comedians, the next it's about the Catskills guest experience, the next about the Jewish immigrant experience and Jewish theatre, and the next about indefatigable Jewish humor itself.” – RogerEbert.com Oct 11, 2013 Full Review Andre Gregory: Before and After Dinner (2013) 75% 2.5/4 EDIT “"Before and After Dinner" is not fully satisfying, but it does offer a rich portrait of the artist as an ever-seeking explorer.” – RogerEbert.com Jul 3, 2013 Full Review Kon-Tiki (2012) 83% 3/4 EDIT “While the wind goes out of its sails a few times along the way, this is a ravishingly photographed, old-fashioned man-against-the-elements adventure epic propelled by human-scaled heroics.” – Chicago Sun-Times May 2, 2013 Full Review Hava Nagila (The Movie) (2012) 89% 3/4 EDIT “A slight, but very satisfying, and at times, surprisingly moving, documentary about the inescapable Jewish anthem and wedding and bar mitzvah music staple.” – Chicago Sun-Times May 2, 2013 Full Review Santa vs. The Snowman (2002) 80% 3.5/4 EDIT “The movie has an avalanche of eye-popping visual effects.” – Chicago Tribune Nov 14, 2002 Full Review
