2.5/5
 
" If imperfect, the film is also necessary." -- Austin Chronicle

For the Bible Tells Me So (2007)98%

3.5/5
 
" Swanberg can be playful behind the camera -- he has a taste for Godardian jump cuts -- and his sense of color is crisp. Gerwig, his millennial Jean Seberg, is no pixie; her captivating ordinariness helps hold the movie together." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted Oct 26, 2007
 
Hannah Takes the Stairs (2007)66%

2.5/5
 
" It really does smack of “chick flick.”" -- Austin Chronicle

" Tremendously sincere but at times brutal drama." -- Austin Chronicle

" There are two kinds of people in the world: those who think slow-motion is cool and those who do not. If you are of the former, I can recommend Pathfinder." -- Austin Chronicle

Pathfinder (2007)11%

3.5/5
 
" The film’s approach suits an audience broader than the usual documentary crowd, though it’s worth mentioning that those pictures can really stay with you." -- Austin Chronicle

The Devil Came On Horseback (2007)98%

2/5
 
" The movie is so oddly structured that it can’t sustain engagement on the story level; I wish I liked it more." -- Austin Chronicle

Rumor Has It... (2005)20%

3.5/5
 
" Somewhere between the pop jouissance of Guy Ritchie and the social realism of Ken Loach, this ballsy drama freeze-frames bleak Thatcherite Yorkshire and exposes its racist underbelly." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted Sep 7, 2007
 
This Is England (2007)93%
/
3/5
 
" Even when it is inelegant, Self-Medicated is a compelling small-scale drama, and Lapica is a talent to watch." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted Aug 31, 2007
 
Self-Medicated (2007)35%
/
2/5
 
" In the final analysis, this Holiday is a so-so late summer diversion, unlikely to reignite Beanmania -- or repeat the previous film’s boffo box office." -- Austin Chronicle

Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007)50%
/
3/5
 
" If it is too stylistically modest to win converts among the multiplex crowd, the film surely rewards followers of the genre." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted Aug 11, 2007
 
Triad Election (2007)96%
/
3.5/5
 
" Throughout, the ebullience and passion of the music gives viewers a point of entry into what it means to be Roma, part of an ancient culture in a modern world." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted Aug 10, 2007
 
Gypsy Caravan (2006)86%
/
2/5
 
" The elements of the film don’t quite mesh: The villains are cartoony, but [director] Du Chau aims for soggy family drama in his father-son story." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted Aug 10, 2007
 
Underdog (2007)14%
/
2.5/4
 
" Problems arise in the film’s third act...and the film doesn't recover." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted Jul 27, 2007
 
Sunshine (2007)76%

3/5
 
" Underneath the quirk there’s a real heart." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted Jul 17, 2007
 
Eagle Vs. Shark (2007)54%
/
3.5/5
 
" Ultimately the movie stands as a testament to grownup love, the kind where all faults are exposed and dealt with, one day at a time." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted Jul 13, 2007
 
You Kill Me (2007)78%
/
3.5/5
 
" A slam-dunk for cineastes, romantics, and Francophiles." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted Jun 22, 2007
 
Paris, Je T'aime (2007)85%
/
2.5/5
 
" The elliptical narrative also recalls Fernando Meirelles' somewhat similarly themed The Constant Gardener, a film ultimately more heartfelt and accessible to mainstream audiences because its maker is unafraid of grief and explores it more deeply." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted Jun 20, 2007
 
A Mighty Heart (2007)77%
/
3.5/5
 
" The movie’s quirk isn’t forced; it sincerely ponders the nature of love and of human need." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted Jun 15, 2007
 
Crazy Love (2007)78%
/
4/5
 
" Its ruminations on secular Iranian nationalism are effectively couched within the characters, and the film, which won the Berlin Film Festival’s Silver Bear but is banned in Iran, has a refreshing slyness to it, as if it’s getting away with something too." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted Jun 8, 2007
 
Offside (2006)95%
/
2/5
 
" As evanescent as sea foam. Greater effort has been directed toward its marine visuals, which are truly lovely but should support a stronger story and more memorable characterizations." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted Jun 7, 2007
 
Surf's Up (2007)78%
/
3/5
 
" A slam-dunk for history classes -- informative and challenging, touching on issues of free speech, modernity, democracy, and globalism." -- Austin Chronicle

10 Questions for the Dalai Lama (2007)77%
/
0/5
 
" Is it funny? Not really. All of its subversive potential is wasted on [director] Harding, and even the straight-ahead farce is joyless." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted May 22, 2007
 
Delta Farce (2007)3%
/
3/5
 
" The film is effective as situational workplace comedy but the air of futility is particularly thick for these working slobs." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted May 22, 2007
 
Chalk (2007)79%
/
3.5/5
 
" The movie doesn’t stand in judgment of its characters, which will probably disappoint audiences who think it ought to, but its breezy tone and ultimately affirming message should please comedy fans with an appreciation for the offbeat." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted May 11, 2007
 
Waitress (2007)88%
/
1.5/5
 
" More effort has gone into the effects, yet the action amounts to little more than dodging projectiles. I’m very concerned about director Tamahori, who used to make interesting movies about masculinity but doesn’t seem to have a grip on the helm here." -- Austin Chronicle

" Verhoeven cites David Lean as an influence, and the film has Lean’s epic scope and crackerjack timing, if not his mannerly refinement. (The 145-minute running time zips right by.)" -- Austin Chronicle
Posted Apr 27, 2007
 
Black Book (2007)76%
/
2.5/4
 
" [Actor] Costanzo is an appealing and likable young actor who carries the film easily; he gives the impression that he is thinking deeply and mildly amused." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted Apr 26, 2007
 
Everything's Gone Green (2007)68%
/
0/5
 
" The Condemned isn’t terribly effective as an actioner, despite a certain promise latent in its island-prison premise." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted Apr 26, 2007
 
The Condemned (2007)16%
/
2/5
 
" Perhaps the lesson to be learned is that just because we can use computer technology to give dogs goofy faces, that doesn’t mean we should." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted Apr 21, 2007
 
Firehouse Dog (2007)38%
/
1.5/5
 
" Chock-full of pointless backstory and convoluted flashbacks. The filmmakers intend to be mysterious, but it’s just murky." -- Austin Chronicle

The Reaping (2007)9%

3/5
 
" This is a kicky little movie." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted Mar 31, 2007
 
Color Me Kubrick (2007)52%
/
3/5
 
" The film makes clear its point about the profound failures of justice caused by aggressive attempts at arrests and detention." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted Mar 30, 2007
 
The Prisoner Or: How I Planned To Kill Tony Blair (2007)86%
/
1/5
 
" Less subversive and infinitely less intelligent than 1999’s Wahlberg-starrer Three Kings." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted Mar 23, 2007
 
Shooter (2007)47%
/
3.5/5
 
" The technique is more expressionistic than naturalistic, but it makes the film far more vivid and emotionally satisfying." -- Austin Chronicle

Iraq in Fragments (2006)91%

1.5/5
 
" A series of setups does not a movie make." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted Mar 10, 2007
 
Reno 911!: Miami (2007)35%
/
3.5/5
 
" [Director Gabor] Csupo doesn’t condescend to his audience; the complications of grade-school life are extremely serious business to the people experiencing them." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted Feb 25, 2007
 
Bridge to Terabithia (2007)85%
/
2/5
 
" Feels like a movie you’ve already seen before but don’t quite recall clearly. Given its pedigree (Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert are among the producers) an audience might hope for more." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted Feb 17, 2007
 
The Messengers (2007)11%
/
3.5/5
 
" Despite its layers of references and patina of kitsch, the movie is sincere at its core, inspiring indulgence of its tinted-sepia flashbacks of childhood meet cutes and its over-the-top, mustache-twirling rival (Kitsuwon)." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted Feb 15, 2007
 
Tears of the Black Tiger (2000)76%
/
3.5/5
 
" The film affirms that if it is possible to survive when you have lost your home, family, and country, it is possible to start over and prevail." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted Feb 8, 2007
 
God Grew Tired of Us (2007)91%
/
2/5
 
" Half the time the movie wants to be balls-out weird, and it is. But the other half -- the half with the good guys -- is plodding procedural fare." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted Feb 3, 2007
 
Smokin' Aces (2007)27%
/
4/5
 
" Visually, the film is almost perfect, with a weird, expressionistic sensibility considerably more sophisticated than the low-fi street shooting of Nine Queens, while the imaginative piano score trickles between pastoral harmony and primal discord." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted Feb 3, 2007
 
The Aura (2006)88%
/
1/5
 
" The story is just incoherent, and the faster it moves, the more frantic it seems." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted Jan 27, 2007
 
Arthur and the Invisibles (2007)20%
/
4/4
 
" The movie is not grim, even as it endangers a wise nun and her gaggle of orphans in its most unfortunate melodramatic moments. Rather, it suggests the possibility of mutual healing, of people working together in love." -- Austin Chronicle
Posted Jan 4, 2007
 
The Painted Veil (2006)73%

" If Erin Gruwell didn’t exist, screenwriters would invent her." -- Austin Chronicle

Freedom Writers (2007)69%

" [Director Freida Lee] Mock’s approach to Kushner is so casual and friendly that it never steps outside of his own life for a glimpse of its context." -- Austin Chronicle
