1.
The Tillman Story
Chicago Sun-Times
09/03/10 Outstanding "...lucid and unsentimental... we become submerged in government lies, righteous condescension and vile media manipulation."
2. 06/18/10 Very Good "...misfires occur so frequently in 'Birdemic' that they firmly place the movie in a cult camp than in any true genre.... to its credit, I found myself howling out loud even when watching in private."
3.
Furry Vengeance
Chicago Sun-Times
04/30/10 Weak "...one has to suspect that Roger Kumble is avenging the poor critical reaction to previous stink bombs such as 'College Road Trip' and 'Cruel Intentions 2.' "
4.
Oceans
Chicago Sun-Times
04/22/10 Outstanding "Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud's gloriously photographed -- if somewhat aimless -- film is mostly confident in its power to dazzle rather than to preach."
5. 12/23/09 Weak "These once charming and witty rodents have earned the right to make their goofy music in a new age, so why does this incarnation sound like a lot of white noise?"
6.
Paranormal Activity
Chicago Sun-Times
10/02/09 Outstanding "...has a way of haunting you. Don't be upset when it happens in that vulnerable time vacuum between 1 and 4 a.m."
7. 09/25/09 Poor "...a labored, bloated comedy that fails to live up to its one and only expectation: to service the bored with a few cheap laughs."
8.
It Might Get Loud
Chicago Sun-Times
08/28/09 Outstanding "...marvelous... pares down the focus to electric guitars and the players who worship them..."
9.
Deadgirl
Chicago Sun-Times
07/24/09 Moderate "...the film's real power lies in the question of how far our fellow man will go for depraved thrills. But such a provocative idea needs shaping, and this effort is rushed, unedited and unfocused."
