3/4	"Hunt's debut as a film director makes me glad she found us." -- Austin Chronicle Posted May 9, 2008	Then She Found Me (2008)	54%
3/5	"*In the end, Redbelt* prevails, just as Terry teaches his students to prevail, but getting there isn't always pretty.*" -- Austin Chronicle* Posted May 9, 2008	Redbelt (2008)	72%
1.5/5	"Perelman eases the transitions between the past and the present with echoing phrases and situations, but they all seem rather pat and contrived." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Apr 25, 2008	The Life Before Her Eyes (2008)	22%
3/5	"Definitely a film that marches to its own drumbeat." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Apr 25, 2008	The Visitor (2008)	92%
2.5/5	" As the filmmakers tell us at the beginning, 40,000 Thoroughbreds are born every year, but only 20 make it to the Kentucky Derby. Thus starts the movie's confusion about whether it is a documentary about the horses or their human competitors." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Apr 18, 2008	The First Saturday in May (2008)	72%
2/5	"The action can be bloody, but is mostly routine. Ultimately, the film�s most eye-catching special effects are reserved for bikini waxes and implants." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Apr 18, 2008	Zombie Strippers (2008)	36%
4/4	"[Director Ruzowitzky] moves The Counterfeiters along at a fast clip that covers a lot of ground in an hour and a half." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Apr 11, 2008	The Counterfeiters (2008)	94%
1/4	"Chow's loyal fans are sure to be disappointed by CJ7, and the film faces one other significant problem in traveling to these shores: Any kid who is the right age to appreciate this pap is going to be too young to read subtitles." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Apr 11, 2008	CJ7 (2008)	45%
3/5	"There much more roiling beneath the surface of these characters and it's a shame we don't come to understand them better. Smart people, dumb choices: it's true for both the characters and the filmmakers." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Apr 10, 2008	Smart People (2008)	49%
3/5	"Nim's Island bogs down a bit in the midsection with a subplot that seems to be more about the "do" than the derring-do, but the oft-cited phrase about becoming the hero of one's own story is a mantra that bears repetition." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Apr 4, 2008	Nim's Island (2008)	48%
2/5	"21 shares with the Las Vegas mythos the same stale temptations: empty glitz and little substance." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Mar 27, 2008	21 (2008)	31%
3/5	"It would be pretty hard to muck up this Dr. Seuss story and its kid-friendly parable about the rights of all beings, no matter their size or shape, to the basic freedoms of life and liberty." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Mar 12, 2008	Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! (2008)	78%
3/5	"**City of Men is an intriguing but incompletely developed heir to the far superior City of God.*" -- Austin Chronicle* Posted Feb 29, 2008	City of Men (2008)	77%
3/4	"A delectable slice of life whose flavors are rarely available on these Western shores." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Feb 22, 2008	Caramel (2008)	91%
2.5/5	"The soft and derivative script by newcomer Gustin Nash and the lax direction by editor-turned-first-time-director Poll lend the film about as much kick as a placebo." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Feb 22, 2008	Charlie Bartlett (2007)	53%
4/4	"Jenkins' superlative work proves her first film was no fluke; let's hope it doesn't take another nine years to hear from her again." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Feb 1, 2008	The Savages (2007)	90%
2/4	"*As I wasn�t expecting much, I must say that Pirates* doesn�t disappoint.*" -- Austin Chronicle* Posted Feb 1, 2008	The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything - A Veggietales Movie (2008)	43%
4/5	"Persepolis will prove a worthwhile movie for thoughtful teens. They are likely to discover that their plight may be universal, but their circumstances are always unique. And, oh yeah, the personal is always political." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Feb 1, 2008	Persepolis (2007)	95%
4.5/5	"*At its most forthright, however, There Will Be Blood* is a rich character study of a fascinating individual who is by turns likable, loathsome, admirable, monstrous, and driven.*" -- Austin Chronicle* Posted Jan 18, 2008	There Will Be Blood (2007)	91%
	"Judy Holliday steals the show as the dumb blonde whose gangster boyfriend wants her to acquire some culture, so he hires her a tutor." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Jan 11, 2008	Born Yesterday (1950)	95%
2.5/4	"As the director, [Denzel] Washington brings no special stylistic flourish to the film, instead placing himself at the straightforward service of the Oprah Winfrey-produced story." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Dec 21, 2007	The Great Debaters (2007)	79%
3/5	"Darabont has made an old-fashioned scary movie that uses a B-name movie cast (minus Harden) as set-piece fodder: victims and antagonists of the film's menacing creepy-crawlies." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Nov 21, 2007	Stephen King's The Mist (2007)	70%
4/5	"*Holds up against the Coens' earlier genre masterpieces like Miller's Crossing* and Fargo.*" -- Austin Chronicle* Posted Nov 20, 2007	No Country for Old Men (2007)	94%
2.5/5	Click here to read article -- Austin Chronicle Posted Nov 17, 2007	The Bubble (2006)	38%
2/5	"Bar-Lev exploits Marla as much as, if not more than, any other player in his movie." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Nov 17, 2007	My Kid Could Paint That (2007)	93%
2.5/5	"An agreeable though tame animated picture that more than does the trick but is unlikely to become a super buzz flick." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Nov 2, 2007	Bee Movie (2007)	53%
3.5/5	"*Smart and stylish, it also has scenes of crackling violence and dramaturgy that oftentimes strains to work but, on the whole, Deep Cover* is engaging, thoughtful and inventive.*" -- Austin Chronicle* Posted Oct 31, 2007	Deep Cover (1992)	84%
3.5/5	"This movie's premise is high concept and would be easy to dismiss were the film not so flawlessly executed." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Oct 26, 2007	Lars And The Real Girl (2007)	80%
2.5/5	"If this is "real life," then count me out." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Oct 24, 2007	Dan in Real Life (2007)	64%
3/5	"It's a hard film to shake, and there's an awful lot to be said for that." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Oct 20, 2007	The Darjeeling Limited (2007)	67%
4/5	"*More than an appreciation, Pete Seeger: The Power of Song* is an inspiration.*" -- Austin Chronicle* Posted Oct 19, 2007	Pete Seeger: The Power of Song (2007)	95%
3/5	"Affleck's feature directing debut is strong on atmospherics and moral quandaries." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Oct 18, 2007	Gone Baby Gone (2007)	93%
2.5/5	"The script by Kelley Sane is full of outrage but not enough depth." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Oct 18, 2007	Rendition (2007)	47%
2/5	"*What Feast of Love* lacks in nutritive value it makes up for with heaping wads of artificial sweeteners.*" -- Austin Chronicle* Posted Oct 13, 2007	Feast of Love (2007)	41%
3/5	"Director Moyle (Pump Up the Volume, Empire Records) keeps a sure hand on the proceedings as the film blends comic events with surreal visions and adrenaline-fueled action (and editing)." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Oct 13, 2007	Weirdsville (2007)	56%
2.5/5	"Despite good performances all around, particularly the ever-brilliant Blanchett, Elizabeth: The Golden Age is a gilded ornament, speculative and uninterested in much besides this queen's matters of heart." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Oct 12, 2007	Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)	34%
2/5	"Overall, it's impossible to shake the film's gloomy sense of eternal repetition." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Oct 11, 2007	We Own The Night (2007)	55%
3/5	"Garlin wrote, directed, and stars in this endearing schlub-in-Chicago movie, which is based on his solo stage show of the same title." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Oct 6, 2007	I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With (2007)	74%
1/5	"Across the Universe will have ardent defenders, but in the long run, it will do nothing to infuse life into the current minirevival of movie musicals and is as soft-headed as the wishful refrain All You Need Is Love." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Oct 6, 2007	Across the Universe (2007)	53%
	"Certain to be rewarded with year-end accolades, Anderson's film is a true American saga -- one that rivals Giant and Citizen Kane in our popular lore as origin stories about how we came to be the people we are." -- Variety Posted Sep 28, 2007	There Will Be Blood (2007)	91%
2.5/5	"If the jingoism that permeates the latter half of The Kingdom does not sufficiently sour the experience of watching it, then the film's closing sentiments about the eternality of vengeance will surely do the trick." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Sep 26, 2007	The Kingdom (2007)	51%
1.5/5	"The Hottest State lacks heat." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Sep 21, 2007	The Hottest State (2006)	35%
3/5	"Although the film is capable of sustaining our interest throughout, the viewer may find it lacking in some of the transcendence Lady Chatterley's lust is supposed to inspire." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Sep 21, 2007	Lady Chatterley (2007)	74%
1/5	"Sea of Dreams is not likely to make much of a splash." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Sep 21, 2007	Sea of Dreams (2005)	33%
1/5	"*The graininess of the film generally makes everything look as ugly as it feels. Death Sentence* deserves no reprieve.*" -- Austin Chronicle* Posted Sep 15, 2007	Death Sentence (2007)	17%
3.5/5	"*Apart from the final minutes of the film that strike its only false note, 3:10 to Yuma* barrels down the track at full force.*" -- Austin Chronicle* Posted Sep 6, 2007	3:10 to Yuma (2007)	89%
2/4	"*Unlike Black Snake Moan, Illegal Tender* never transcends its cliches.*" -- Austin Chronicle* Posted Aug 31, 2007	Illegal Tender (2007)	13%
1/5	"Muddled, sloppy, and obfuscating." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Aug 31, 2007	September Dawn (2007)	13%
3/4	"*More narratively modest than his recent work, The Boss of It All* is something of a technological experiment.*" -- Austin Chronicle* Posted Aug 31, 2007	The Boss of it All (2007)	73%
