Look for me through October 26 at the 61st Chicago International Film Festival (I’ll be the guy with the press corps credentials, my first time having been accorded this honor, and likely wearing my Chicago Indie Critics t-shirt).

Sorry, Baby Review This is a portrait that I was mesmerized by. It is a film that leads to curiosity as it explores human nature. Sorry, Baby leaves a trail of questions. Why do&nbs…

There is turmoil, there is sadness, and Sorry, Baby turns despair into hope.

My review on Sorry, Baby!

On the docket for tonight’s critics screening? The latest from Wes Anderson. He won an Oscar for his last film - the live action short THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF HENRY SUGAR. Will THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME be as award-worthy? We shall see. #wesanderson #thephoenicianscheme #jeffyork #chicagoindiecritics

Flight Risk Review Mel Gibson directed Flight Risk, but it does not fly high. It is a thriller set in one setting that is rushed with mediocrity. My senses told me it would be a hit-or-miss experience, especiall…

With Wahlberg (as the bad guy), he is the one who brings in the vindictive vengeance danger to the aircraft. With Grace and Dockery (as the protagonists), it is like Three Stooges meets Con-Air.
Flight Risk Review!

Mothers’ Instinct Review The title of this film comes to mind as concerning in that it implies a parent senses wrongful or disconcerting matters. Thestoryline vibes with housewives’ …

The characterizations are faithful to the context of knowing little leading to major consequences. It’s execution though, not so exhilarating.

My review on Mothers’ Instinct!
