3/5	"It's standard, straight-outta-Sundance indie fare, but it's also a crowd-pleasing portrait of boys-who-will-be-men-who-will-be-boys." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Jul 25, 2008	The Wackness (2008)	63%
2.5/5	"I could do without 'Dancing Queen' stuck in my head, but that will unstick soon enough, and with any luck so too will the memory of Streep noodling on an air guitar." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Jul 17, 2008	Mamma Mia! (2008)	53%
3.5/4	"*As auspicious �- and breathless -� a debut as Reservoir Dogs* was for Tarantino.*" -- Austin Chronicle* Posted Jul 3, 2008	Reprise (2008)	88%
2/5	"Kit Kittredge is a dutiful bore." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Jul 2, 2008	Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)	80%
3.5/5	"Having previously dug into Seattle grunge (1996's Hype!) and hip-hop scratch (2001's Scratch), filmmaker Pray continues his subculture-immersion studies in this revealing portrait of Dorian 'Doc' Paskowitz." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Jun 6, 2008	Surfwise (2008)	100%
4/5	"*In its cinematic incarnation, Sex and the City* has lost none of its bawdiness yet gained a more profound sense of soberness.*" -- Austin Chronicle* Posted May 29, 2008	Sex and the City: The Movie (2008)	51%
4/5	"Funny and sweet and guaranteed to flood you with good feeling." -- Austin Chronicle Posted May 16, 2008	Son of Rambow (2008)	75%
1/5	"You can take what happens in Vegas, keep it in Vegas, and keep the rest of the us out of it." -- Austin Chronicle Posted May 8, 2008	What Happens in Vegas (2008)	27%
1.5/5	"The script can veer from mean-spirited to uncomfortably blue." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Apr 30, 2008	Made of Honor (2008)	12%
2.5/5	"My Blueberry Nights can be sexy as hell, but for the first time in a Wong film, I felt duped for being so easily seduced." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Apr 25, 2008	My Blueberry Nights (2008)	47%
2/4	"Alexander's script considers context anathema, leaving us to wonder, among other puzzlers, why these two jerks are friends to begin with � and, perhaps, on what bad breakup or neglected childhood one may blame the film's dispiriting misanthropy." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Apr 11, 2008	Backseat (2008)	8%
3/5	"It's awfully agreeable -- so why doesn�t it entirely work?" -- Austin Chronicle Posted Apr 3, 2008	Leatherheads (2008)	53%
2/5	"*Anyone hoping for the lean meat of the fast, furious, and riotously funny Shaun of the Dead* or even the popcorn fancy of the lesser Hot Fuzz will do best to look elsewhere.*" -- Austin Chronicle* Posted Mar 27, 2008	Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008)	48%
3/5	"An intriguing historical document, not attempting a completist portrait of Carter but rather a series of candids." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Mar 20, 2008	Jimmy Carter Man From Plains (2007)	79%
2.5/5	"When you�re maybe just about ready to fully endorse the film, it gives in to some generic romantic-comedy frippery that punctures a hole in its own believability." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Feb 14, 2008	Definitely, Maybe (2008)	72%
2/4	"*Less twisty than its 2004 predecessor and yet somehow more incoherent, National Treasure: Book of Secrets* plays like a duplicate schematic of the first.*" -- Austin Chronicle* Posted Feb 1, 2008	National Treasure 2 : Book of Secrets (2007)	31%
0/5	"To devote an entire feature film to making fun of another film's universally acknowledged gay subtext seems to me good cause for said filmmakers to have a sit-down with their muse, because somebody's been sleeping on the job." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Feb 1, 2008	Meet the Spartans (2008)	2%
3/5	"How She Move, which screened at last year's Sundance, wears its low budget on its sleeve; the upshot is a cast of unknowns who are naturals." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Jan 23, 2008	How She Move (2008)	66%
2.5/5	"I have seen the future, and it looks like TBS. Maybe TNT. I predict a happy union between 27 Dresses and cable TV, forever rerunning with commercial breaks tailor-made for laundry-loading and sandwich-making." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Jan 18, 2008	27 Dresses (2008)	40%
3.5/4	"An indie comedy that uplifts � funny and smart, totally trying to be cool and succeeding, and heartfelt to boot." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Dec 21, 2007	Juno (2007)	93%
2/5	"This is a visually and emotionally soft affair, and the material calls for something with far sharper edges." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Dec 21, 2007	Charlie Wilson's War (2007)	83%
4/5	"Imagination typically should be encouraged in children, but an excess of it leads to tragedy in this more than worthy adaptation of Ian McEwan's 2002 novel." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Dec 14, 2007	Atonement (2007)	83%
3/5	"There�s plenty here to hang a franchise on." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Dec 6, 2007	The Golden Compass (2007)	41%
3.5/5	"Haynes's warmest film yet. The thing is infused with love -- not the slavish kind, but a true-eyed tribute to the artist who belongs to nobody and everybody at once." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Nov 21, 2007	I'm Not There (2007)	78%
	"The film's primary function seems to be in lensing the banalities of everyday living. To that end, the film is successful; in providing illumination to those banalities, one will have to look elsewhere." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Aug 21, 2007	Kissing on the Mouth (2005)	40%
4/5	"A near-perfect relationship-trauma comedy. It�s ragged in all the right ways, just like the way we love and wake up to the realization that that love has gone sour." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Jun 24, 2006	The Puffy Chair (2006)	76%
3/5	"It is pretty, and it stays just left of the dial of darlingness, and Cornish's is the most goddamn, gosh-wow debut I've seen in years." -- Austin Chronicle Posted May 27, 2006	Somersault (2006)	82%
1/5	"Spiritual epiphany is tough to convey onscreen, and near impossible in the hands of wooden actors." -- Austin Chronicle Posted May 20, 2006	The Celestine Prophecy (2006)	5%
3.5/5	"It isn�t an easy film, but the world�s already got plenty of easy and easily digestible films. Nervy and confounding pictures, however, we could use more of." -- Austin Chronicle Posted May 6, 2006	Room (2005)	69%
3.5/5	"Considering Holofcener�s expanded canvas and the film�s relatively short running time, it�s a wonder these characters feel so fully formed (not to mention near and dear)." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Apr 21, 2006	Friends With Money (2006)	71%
2/5	"A watered-down likeness that curiously turns disaster flick in its too-scary third act." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Apr 8, 2006	Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006)	56%
3.5/5	"By all accounts, Sterne�s novel is nutty and ribald and utterly defiant of conventional storytelling techniques � hence this adaptation�s wonderfully meta take." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Apr 1, 2006	Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story (2006)	91%
0/5	"Jovovich, who�s shown sensitivity in her dramatic work, looks spectacularly bored as she power-kicks her way through one bloody pile-up after another. That boredom, like the mystery virus at the center of the film, is contagious." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Mar 25, 2006	Ultraviolet (2006)	8%
	"Live Free or Die -- opens and closes zippily, but in between frequently stalls out, and the wannabe-hoodlum antics of Rugged and LaGrand -- play with diminishing returns." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Mar 24, 2006	Live Free or Die (2007)	47%
	"The causality here is somewhat thin -- any time one story really gets cooking, we're jettisoned to another -- but the ensemble cast does good work, and the location becomes a character unto itself." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Mar 23, 2006	Things that Hang from Trees (2006)	n/a
2.5/5	Click here to read article -- Austin Chronicle Posted Mar 4, 2006	The Blue Butterfly (2004)	38%
4/5	"Deftly mixing talking-head interviews, archival footage, and sly musical cues, Ballets Russes impressively catalogues 30 years of the companies� triumphs and failures, and does so in a way that a dance neophyte can easily absorb ..." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Mar 4, 2006	Ballets Russes (2005)	91%
3/5	"Something New, in its endearingly daft third act, manages the neat feat of feeling sweetly inevitable rather than boilerplate predictable." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Feb 11, 2006	Something New (2006)	61%
2.5/5	"Glory Road really isn�t a bad show � it�s just an obvious one � and one wishes material of this historical import had received a more refined rendering." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Jan 15, 2006	Glory Road (2006)	56%
1/5	"When a war is going down, why are the king and his fiercest lieutenants taking a time-out to attend to the lovesick?" -- Austin Chronicle Posted Jan 12, 2006	Tristan & Isolde (2006)	32%
3.5/5	"Certain characters and their particular pains become so engrossing in their 10-minute bits that it's sad to see them go." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Jan 8, 2006	Nine Lives (2005)	75%
2.5/5	"*I�ve little doubt that Swicord and Marshall have produced an accurate account of the geisha lifestyle, but I�m not sure that it feels like a terribly authentic* one.*" -- Austin Chronicle* Posted Dec 31, 2005	Memoirs of a Geisha (2005)	35%
3/5	"There are just too many damn characters, with the best ones taking a backseat to the dullish love quadrangle." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Dec 18, 2005	The Family Stone (2005)	53%
2.5/5	"This is a Hallmark movie with high production values -- and so what? It�s gently funny and genuinely good-hearted." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Dec 6, 2005	Christmas in the Clouds (2005)	69%
4/5	"*It�s the sort of film that�s bound to be labeled modest,* but it packs a hefty emotional wallop.*" -- Austin Chronicle* Posted Dec 6, 2005	The Squid and the Whale (2005)	94%
2/5	"This is second-rate Hallstr�m, drama plus whimsy that, when rubbed together, creates not friction and fire, but a nubbing-down of both elements." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Dec 6, 2005	Bee Season (2005)	42%
3.5/5	"[Hoffman's] performance is undeniably great. Everything else -- solid, satisfying though it may be -- falls short of that greatness." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Oct 30, 2005	Capote (2005)	91%
0/5	"Frequently offensive and doggedly disgusting." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Oct 29, 2005	Waiting... (2005)	31%
3.5/5	Click here to read article -- Austin Chronicle Posted Oct 15, 2005	Thumbsucker (2005)	71%
2.5/5	"The Greatest Game never thrills on an emotional level the way the best of sports films -- a Hoosiers, say -- can, but it�s a satisfying entertainment nonetheless." -- Austin Chronicle Posted Oct 2, 2005	The Greatest Game Ever Played (2005)	62%
