D	" Willie and ganja, yes, yes, the cliches abound." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Sep 12, 2008	Surfer, Dude (2008)	0%
B+	" American Teen is The Breakfast Club in real time." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Aug 1, 2008	American Teen (2008)	69%
B+	" As It Is in Heaven works best as a thematic piece of art. It's a statement on the ugliness of humanity and the power of music to wound, but then heal." -- Dallas Morning News Posted May 2, 2008	As It Is in Heaven (2004)	n/a
B+	" Ms. Johansson fills the screen in her usually quiet but piercing manner." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Feb 29, 2008	The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)	41%
C+	" *Despite generating plenty of turmoil, Resurrecting the Champ* fails to be compelling. It does, however, succeed in being implausible.*" -- Dallas Morning News* Posted Aug 24, 2007	Resurrecting the Champ (2007)	60%
C	" Nothing gets explored at length, and some key points are glossed over altogether, namely H�ctor's out-of-wedlock son and his frequent womanizing. Such factual details would demoralize Puchi. They are merely mentioned, then ignored." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Aug 3, 2007	El Cantante (2007)	24%
B+	" Rescue Dawn avoids all the land mines inherent in most war movies. There's no hero worship; no noisy, confusing, special-effects-enhanced battle scene." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Jul 13, 2007	Rescue Dawn (2007)	90%
B-	" *[Roberts is] a natural in front of the camera, so warm and cute you're instantly charmed. Nancy Drew* works largely because of Ms. Roberts.*" -- Dallas Morning News* Posted Jun 15, 2007	Nancy Drew (2007)	49%
D	" The film's attempts at humor fall flat." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Apr 9, 2007	The Night of the White Pants (2007)	n/a
B	" The film gives Mr. O'Toole all the space he needs to prove that his craft is still fresh and virile." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Jan 26, 2007	Venus (2006)	89%
B+	" Pan's Labyrinth works on several levels. It boldly captures the horror of war, the bloody violence as well as the emotional stifling of the soul, and juxtaposes it with the enchantment of a nether land bathed in hope and eternity." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Jan 12, 2007	Pan's Labyrinth (2006)	96%
B+	" What's most compelling about the movie are the film's revelations about the out-of-the-spotlight lives of Ms. Maines and fellow Chicks Emily Robison and Martie Maguire." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Nov 9, 2006	Shut Up & Sing (2006)	90%
B	" It's more than a porno movie with a plot. The reality of the heart manages to always temper the allure of the flesh. Ultimately, Mr. Mitchell shows us that sex doesn't mean a whole lot without a deeper connection." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Oct 13, 2006	Shortbus (2006)	65%
B+	" At a time when politicians are most in question, [director] Levinson feels no qualms about depicting the process as a hilarious and yet dangerous farce." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Oct 13, 2006	Man of the Year (2006)	20%
C-	" *When Flyboys* finally ends, a too-long 139 minutes later, there's a sense of emptiness, perhaps even disgust.*" -- Dallas Morning News* Posted Sep 22, 2006	Flyboys (2006)	33%
A-	" A beautiful, frank and utterly absorbing examination of death." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Sep 7, 2006	Time to Leave (2006)	76%
C+	" *At every turn, Broken Bridges* is filled with clich�d predictability.*" -- Dallas Morning News* Posted Sep 7, 2006	Broken Bridges (2006)	5%
B	" ... the story of British conjoined twins turned underground punk-rock tragic figures can't be ignored, if not for the ingenious way of disguising truth, then for the unsettling presentation of human emotions." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Aug 12, 2006	Brothers of the Head (2006)	67%
B-	" It's still an involving story. And the film's well-acted, particularly by Ms. Farrow and Mr. Postlethwaite. Plus, there are two really good scares that'll make you jump out of your seat. That alone was entertaining." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Jun 6, 2006	The Omen (2006)	26%
C	" ... a flawed film that frequently tries to rise above standard TV dramas of the week." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Apr 27, 2006	Hate Crime (2005)	11%
C+	" *Had the film's director and screenwriter fleshed out the climax of the movie, Hermano's inherent predilection for melodrama might have been more palatable." -- Dallas Morning News* Posted Apr 13, 2006	La Mujer de mi Hermano (2006)	21%
A-	" [An] honest, sobering and poignant tribute to a tortured talent who died young and left behind a treasure chest of songs." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Mar 9, 2006	Be Here to Love Me: A Film About Townes Van Zandt (2005)	93%
C+	" It's a disturbing movie, particularly the first half, and one not easily digested." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Mar 9, 2006	Winter Passing (2006)	41%
B-	" [The film has] an air of believability that thankfully doesn't get lost in the sometimes fast pace of the flick." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Mar 2, 2006	16 Blocks (2006)	56%
B+	" For the eyes, it's a cinematic banquet filled with the colors, wardrobe and scenery of 1930s Italy. For the mind, it's a sleek, intelligent story about love and money." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Feb 3, 2006	A Good Woman (2005)	39%
C+	" Annapolis is as predictable as stale bread. You can plot the film's conclusion, oh, at about the midway point. Even the few plot twists can be guessed miles away." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Jan 26, 2006	Annapolis (2006)	10%
B-	" Tristan & Isolde is gorgeous to watch. The film's cinematography shines as a stunning example of setting, costumes, choreography and visual mood. And the story is entertaining, epic in scope but without an interminable length." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Jan 12, 2006	Tristan & Isolde (2006)	32%
C+	" Understanding the ins and outs of a young, detached psyche requires careful cinematic dialogue and introspection, qualities Mr. Baier can't muster in his feature debut." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Dec 2, 2005	Garcon Stupide (2006)	52%
A-	" Director Mandoki has created a film with the gritty honesty of a documentary and the artistic masterstroke of a finely crafted cinematic piece." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Oct 13, 2005	Innocent Voices (2004)	70%
B	" It's an adolescent-to-adult drama that never veers into maudlin or sugary territory. There's a realness on screen that translates to any culture." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Sep 22, 2005	Caterina in the Big City (2005)	89%
B	" Packs laughs, over-the-top plot twists and even a socially conscious message or two into a twisted story about the ruthless competition between a couple of would-be managers in a sprawling department store." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Sep 2, 2005	The Perfect Crime (2005)	84%
B+	" Never maudlin." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Aug 20, 2005	The Reception (2005)	71%
D	" *Director Greg Harrison seems more interested in pretentiously highbrow visual effects than developing a compelling narrative during November, his convoluted, ineffective psychological thriller." -- Dallas Morning News* Posted Aug 4, 2005	November (2005)	30%
B	" The Man Who Copied unfolds into a movie with a split personality, and the second half is no reproduction of the first." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Jul 7, 2005	The Man Who Copied (2005)	65%
C-	" If this is director Attal's attempt to dive into the complex world of marriages, he barely swam past the shoreline." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Jun 16, 2005	Happily Ever After (2005)	57%
B	" Plays out in a low-key but charming fashion." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Jun 3, 2005	Lost Embrace (2005)	85%

B-	" The ending leaves unanswered questions, but it offers enough substance to justify the nearly two-hour commitment." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Feb 24, 2005	Imaginary Heroes (2004)	34%
B+	" It's a thoughtful, moving celebration of hope and resilience that doesn't turn sappy or manipulative." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Jan 27, 2005	The Chorus (2005)	68%
B+	" A touching, frank movie about parenting." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Dec 30, 2004	Bear Cub (2004)	79%
C+	" It's the engaging performances of Jaci Velasquez, Roselyn Sanchez and Sofia Vergara, as well as a few humorous Latin colloquialisms, that turn an otherwise inane script into a cute confection of a film." -- Dallas Morning News Posted Apr 17, 2003	Chasing Papi (2003)	13%
B-	" *Fans of critics' darling band Wilco will marvel at the sometimes murky, always brooding look of I Am Trying to Break Your Heart." -- Dallas Morning News* Posted Sep 19, 2002	I Am Trying to Break Your Heart (2002)	88%
B-	" American Adobo is entertaining and it's filled with fine performances from the ensemble cast." -- Dallas Morning News Posted May 3, 2002	American Adobo (2002)	30%
