2/5
 
"Savage Grace is a movie that badly wants to shock you. The only thing that might raise an eyebrow here, however, is the shocking rate at which everyone lights up a cigarette every five minutes." -- Austin Chronicle

Savage Grace (2008)42%

3.5/5
 
"Young@Heart eschews the clichés about old people for something that we can all relate to: our own mortality." -- Austin Chronicle

1.5/4
 
"Stallone is in desperate need of reinvention, but he seems myopically focused on rehashing the past rather than exploring the future." -- Austin Chronicle

Rambo (2008)35%

2.5/4
 
"An example of how good intentions don’t necessarily make for a good movie." -- Austin Chronicle

The Kite Runner (2007)67%

2/5
 
"It’s clear that Margot is a troubled soul in some kind of terrible pain, but the film does little to depict her as anything but a pushy, judgmental, and overly critical human being." -- Austin Chronicle

Margot at the Wedding (2007)51%

3.5/5
 
"Lions for Lambs is worth seeing for no other reason that you’ve never seen anything like it before. It’s political theatre that shouldn’t be missed." -- Austin Chronicle

Lions for Lambs (2007)28%

1.5/5
 
"This is the inaugural film in a franchise of 12 feature films based on Bible stories, using a crude form of three-dimensional computer animation. One can only hope that the future entries in the series are better executed than this first one." -- Austin Chronicle

"Unfortunately, the plotting in The Brave One is rather pedestrian and often flawed, undermining this film’s potential for greatness." -- Austin Chronicle

"If you’re looking for ha-ha funny, then The Ten is probably not for you -- you’ll be more likely scratching your head in befuddled wonderment." -- Austin Chronicle

"The movie's rhythm is off-kilter and oddly paced. Moreover, the film's script seems truncated at points; a lot of the plot details feel underdeveloped." -- Austin Chronicle

"There's much that is commendable in the The Italian, not the least of which are its social criticisms of the buying and selling of children through the adoption businesses currently thriving in Russia and neighboring eastern European countries." -- Austin Chronicle

"It’s too bad that the script doesn’t serve Murphy’s multi-character talents in the way he deserves. If and when it ever does, he may actually make a comedy for the ages." -- Austin Chronicle

"John Tucker Must Die will undoubtedly fade into obscurity like so many silly and sentimental teen comedies before it. It’s no wonder that the genre has turned to sex with apple pies and the like in an effort to distinguish itself." -- Austin Chronicle

"The efforts of Waist Deep to make some meaningful social commentary about street gangs and the vicious circle in which African-American men often find themselves seem like an afterthought, rather than anything remotely sincere." -- Austin Chronicle

"If you take this stuff seriously, one way or another, you're sure to be duped. You've got to hand it to Mr. Brown: So dark the con of man, indeed." -- Austin Chronicle

"The painstakingly obvious screenplay by Kevin Wade (Working Girl) plays like an eighth-grade civics primer: ethics and morality are good, greed and corruption are bad." -- Austin Chronicle

True Colors (1991)54%

"This serviceable action thriller starts off promisingly but soon disintegrates into an implausible mess barely salvaged by the presence of old pros like Douglas and Basinger." -- Austin Chronicle

"There is, however, little socio-political insight into the Dionysian revolution depicted here; the film seems to serve more as a nostalgia piece than anything." -- Austin Chronicle

"One has to chalk up The Pink Panther to the good old traditions of Hollywood greed and chutzpah. Nothing this slapdash and badly executed is done for the love of movies." -- Austin Chronicle

"This fresh adaptation shakes the dust off Jane Austen’s early 19th-century novel of manners and gives it a good airing out." -- Austin Chronicle

"As with many film adaptations of stage successes, David Auburn's Pulitzer Prize-winning play about mathematics and madness, Proof, loses something in its translation to celluloid." -- Austin Chronicle
