	"Soundtrack sales seem to be the main motivation behind this corny and cliched Southern melodrama that marks the film debut of country music star Toby Keith." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Oct 9, 2006	Broken Bridges (2006)	5%
	"...gets caught between taking risks and playing it safe." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Oct 9, 2006	The Last Kiss (2006)	46%
	"The trite script waters down and trivializes its subject matter, almost to the point of negating any emotional impact." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Oct 9, 2006	Gridiron Gang (2006)	43%

	"It's a treat for fans of historical martial arts epics and especially for fans of Jet Li, who won't be the ones to tell the star if he's starting to show his age." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Oct 9, 2006	Fearless (2006)	73%
	"...the Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers are deserving of a movie treatment less formulaic and predictable than this." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Oct 9, 2006	The Guardian (2006)	37%
	"...a computer-animated tale best suited for the pre-teen demographic, yet there are enough genuine, high-energy laughs to amuse viewers of just about any age." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Oct 9, 2006	Open Season (2006)	47%
	"The movie looks as though it was edited in a Cuisinart, more concerned with frenetic cutting than coherent storytelling." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Sep 5, 2006	Crossover (2006)	0%
	"It's a modest, low-budget effort that will require a tissue or two, especially for dog lovers." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Aug 31, 2006	Lassie (2006)	92%
	"...a sharply observed look at juvenile rebellion" -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Aug 31, 2006	Wassup Rockers (2006)	36%
	"...a compelling and insightful glimpse into the convergence of perpetual teenage issues with modern high school athletics, with the entertainment value extending far beyond basketball fans." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Aug 31, 2006	The Heart of the Game (2006)	86%
	"Linklater's adaptation of Dick's semiautobiographical novel is steadfastly faithful to its source, but the screenplay is more tedious than provocative, as it bogs down in an abundance of talky vignettes." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Aug 31, 2006	A Scanner Darkly (2006)	67%
	"The Wayans filmmaking clan strikes with another idiotic compilation of bodily-function gags and lowbrow obnoxiousness masquerading as hip comedy. " -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Aug 31, 2006	Little Man (2006)	13%
	"...amid the technical dazzle, the spunky juvenile protagonists give the film an unlikely anchor." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Aug 31, 2006	Monster House (2006)	73%
	"...less profound than it is uneven, an intermittently satisfying mix." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Aug 31, 2006	Clerks II (2006)	63%

	"Consistently subversive and amusing..." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Aug 31, 2006	Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)	72%
	"...has energy to spare but a flimsy and only mildly amusing script that doesn't allow it to stand out from the current glut of kid-friendly CGI competitors." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Aug 31, 2006	Barnyard: The Original Party Animals (2006)	23%
	"...the dance numbers are overwhelmed by a trite and predictable script that trudges through familiar themes of redemption and acceptance while taking itself far too seriously. " -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Aug 31, 2006	Step Up (2006)	20%
	"...the film's audacity and peculiarity might mean Idlewild has trouble finding a mainstream audience, one it only marginally earns anyway." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Aug 31, 2006	Idlewild (2006)	48%
	"Vince Papale's life story must be pretty amazing. Even when it's subjected to the glossed-over Disney sports biopic formula, it comes off pretty well." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Aug 31, 2006	Invincible (2006)	71%
	"Kids might enjoy some of the routine lowbrow slapstick and zany animal antics on display here. Adults will find it tedious going." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Jun 26, 2006	Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties (2006)	11%

	"*For all of its high-octane characters, Cars* too often seems to be spinning its wheels.*" -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX)* Posted Jun 14, 2006	Cars (2006)	75%
	"Unfortunately, the broad scope leads to a tedious pace, as Garcia lacks the restraint to match his keen visual eye." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Jun 14, 2006	The Lost City (2006)	25%
	"...never seems to gain much emotional traction throughout its meandering female road trip, despite some provocative subject matter." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Jun 14, 2006	Free Zone (2006)	26%
	"...doesn't translate as much more than a formulaic, if promising, genre tale that's often difficult to follow yet equally hard to dismiss." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Jun 12, 2006	Night Watch (2005)	58%

	"A contradictory approach ultimately muddles the film despite some heartfelt and evocative moments about youngsters growing up on the streets of Atlanta." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Jun 12, 2006	ATL (2006)	63%
	"The cast of eccentrics is endearing, and the lessons of acceptance slide down easily with minimal emotional manipulation." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Jun 12, 2006	Kinky Boots (2006)	57%
	"...the film allows 76-year-old Plowright, for years a wonderful character actress in a wide variety of projects, something to call her own." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Jun 12, 2006	Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont (2005)	69%
	"*...the subject matter and marginal execution make it a hard sell to all but the most ardent fans of Depp, who treats The Libertine* as a personal acting workshop.*" -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX)* Posted Jun 12, 2006	The Libertine (2005)	32%
	"The film just translates the basic idea for a new generation under the ill-conceived notion that it was necessary." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Jun 12, 2006	The Shaggy Dog (2006)	28%
	"...more reminiscent of a glorified Perry Mason episode than a return to form for the filmmaker." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Jun 12, 2006	Find Me Guilty (2006)	57%
	"...a clever, stylish and highly entertaining concoction of plot twists and character quirks that elevates itself above similar fare." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Jun 12, 2006	Inside Man (2006)	86%
	"...the long-awaited reunion of writer-actor Sam Shepard and German filmmaker Wim Wenders yields only mixed results." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Jun 12, 2006	Don't Come Knocking (2006)	42%
	"It hits a few broad targets and misses many more, leaving the door open to continue the series indefinitely." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Jun 12, 2006	Scary Movie 4 (2006)	38%
	"A decade ago, this sort of thing would have felt cuter, fresher and funnier than today, when the bar for CGI animation has been raised considerably." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Jun 12, 2006	The Wild (2006)	19%
	"The screenplay throws elements such as motive and common sense out the window in favor of derivative shootouts and chase sequences." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Jun 12, 2006	The Sentinel (2006)	34%
	"The episodic script offers basic insight into Page's rise to fame, but it never commits to being either an in-depth biography or a thoughtful examination of her impact on evolving sexual mores of the era." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Jun 12, 2006	The Notorious Bettie Page (2006)	55%
	"Of course, it all winds up with absurdly contrived lessons about family bonding, including a climactic soliloquy by Williams that's barely short of laughable." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Jun 12, 2006	RV (2006)	23%
	"A predictable mishmash of sports underdog cliches with a domestic release timed to capitalize on anticipation for the World Cup. Accordingly, expect plenty of elbow room at the local multiplex." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Jun 12, 2006	Goal! (2006)	43%
	"Even on this intentionally brainless level, there has to be some basic rooting interest in the characters to salvage the outcome." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Jun 12, 2006	Poseidon (2006)	33%
	"Any game is more fun to play than to watch others play, even if it involves death-defying stunts and harrowing alien encounters that would frighten even the heartiest souls." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Feb 21, 2006	Zathura (2005)	76%
	"Fans of the original might greet this adaptation with mixed emotions, while curious newcomers are left with an earnest but ultimately pointless big-screen byproduct." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Feb 21, 2006	Rent (2005)	48%
	"It's clearly conceived solely as a star vehicle for the ubiquitous Usher and his washboard abs, with plot coherence and originality coming in somewhere lower in the pecking order." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Feb 21, 2006	In The Mix (2005)	9%
	"Perhaps the film's disparate subplots are given due attention in the book, but it all feels unfocused and jammed together here." -- Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Posted Feb 21, 2006	Bee Season (2005)	42%
