Rotten 1/5	Rotten 50%	Antichrist (2009)	" Antichrist is a unique form of cruel and unusual punishment: an unrelenting orgy of graphic sex, violence and cynicism that also manages to be wildly pretentious." — Dallas Morning News Posted Nov 20, 2009
Fresh 5/5	Fresh 87%	A Serious Man (2009)	" It's the best film of their careers." — Dallas Morning News Posted Oct 9, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 88%	Amreeka (2009)	" You keep rooting for these characters, even as the plot takes a series of broad and overly familiar turns." — Dallas Morning News Posted Sep 25, 2009
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 83%	Bright Star (2009)	" *If you don't mind the inert drama at the core, Bright Star* at least gives you plenty of eye candy.*" — Dallas Morning News* Posted Sep 18, 2009
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 84%	The Horse Boy (2009)	" The Horse Boy isn't trying to provide any definitive answers about autism. It's offering intriguing possibilities." — Dallas Morning News Posted Sep 11, 2009
Rotten 3/5	Rotten 16%	Spread (2009)	" *Mostly Spread* feels likes a bungled opportunity.*" — Dallas Morning News* Posted Aug 14, 2009
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 75%	Julie & Julia (2009)	" From Child's warbling, New England-by-way-of-Paris voice to her towering yet curiously lighthearted physical presence, Streep gets everything technically right about the woman." — Dallas Morning News Posted Aug 7, 2009
Fresh 4.5/5	Fresh 75%	Humpday (2009)	" Even if the movie doesn't completely work, it's apt to leave you talking about it for days." — Dallas Morning News Posted Jul 24, 2009
Rotten 3/5	Rotten 54%	Cheri (2009)	" Pfeiffer is curiously cold and brittle, while Friend never allows us to feel his character's anguish when he realizes the error of leaving Lea." — Dallas Morning News Posted Jun 26, 2009
Fresh 4.5/5	Fresh 92%	Drag Me To Hell (2009)	" It's the work of a filmmaker once again drunk on the daffy possibilities of horror filmmaking -- and determined to share that joy with his fans." — Dallas Morning News Posted May 29, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Fresh 64%	The Brothers Bloom (2009)	" Watching this movie is like being elbowed in the ribs for two consecutive hours." — Dallas Morning News Posted May 29, 2009
Fresh B+	Rotten 41%	Fighting (2009)	" *At every turn, Fighting* is alive and unexpected.*" — Dallas Morning News* Posted Apr 24, 2009
Fresh B	Fresh 84%	State of Play (2009)	" The movie doesn't quite work, but even when it's misfiring it has an old-fashioned appeal." — Dallas Morning News Posted Apr 17, 2009
Rotten F	Rotten 50%	Observe and Report (2009)	" Aggressively mean and even more aggressively stupid." — Dallas Morning News Posted Apr 10, 2009
Fresh B	Fresh 88%	Adventureland (2009)	" There's no mistaking Mottola's sincerity or his talent." — Dallas Morning News Posted Apr 3, 2009
Fresh B-	Fresh 82%	I Love You, Man (2009)	" I Love You, Man feels like a clever concept in search of a completely developed movie." — Dallas Morning News Posted Mar 20, 2009
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 58%	Flash of Genius (2008)	" ...The movie seems to have been crafted on an assembly line that specializes in inspirational tales of ordinary Davids triumphing over merciless Goliaths." — Fort Worth Star-Telegram Posted Oct 3, 2008
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 36%	Chicken Little (2005)	" Chicken Little is much too glib to make us feel what its characters are experiencing; the filmmakers would much rather explode their animated sets and vaporize their talking creatures." — San Jose Mercury News Posted Nov 4, 2005
Fresh B+	Rotten 58%	The Talent Given Us (2004)	" *[A] one-of-a-kind movie that sends the family road-trip genre happily spinning into these self-obsessed, overanalytical times; it's National Lampoon's Vacation* as re-imagined by Dr. Phil.*" — Fort Worth Star-Telegram* Posted Oct 13, 2005
Fresh B+	Rotten 43%	National Treasure (2004)	" The best cinematic comfort food you could ask for." — Fort Worth Star-Telegram Posted Nov 19, 2004
Fresh 4/4	Fresh 72%	Auto Focus (2002)	" While Auto Focus isn't very much fun to watch, it exerts a queasy, powerful hold on us." — Fort Worth Star-Telegram Posted Oct 29, 2002
Rotten	Fresh 80%	Requiem for a Dream (2000)	If this is the future of cinema, I'd rather be home watching television. — Fort Worth Star-Telegram Posted Jan 19, 2001
Rotten	Fresh 88%	Almost Famous (2000)	[Crowe] seems to be remembering experiences that he doesn't have a hold on, and emotions that he's never completely sorted out for himself. — Fort Worth Star-Telegram Posted Jan 1, 2000
Rotten	Rotten 26%	Bait (2000)	It piles one ludicrous plot twist atop another and bothers not a whit with logic. — Fort Worth Star-Telegram Posted Jan 1, 2000
Fresh	Fresh 85%	Billy Elliot (2000)	Turns out to be that rare melodrama that earns both its laughter and its tears. — Fort Worth Star-Telegram Posted Jan 1, 2000
Fresh	Fresh 67%	Charlie's Angels (2000)	*So what if it arrives in theaters about five months late? Charlie's Angels* is still the best movie of the summer.** — Fort Worth Star-Telegram Posted Jan 1, 2000
Rotten	Rotten 43%	The Legend of Bagger Vance (1999)	*Even if Bagger Vance* weren't saddled with the year's most inept premise, Redford's direction would have destroyed it.** — Fort Worth Star-Telegram Posted Jan 1, 2000
Rotten	Rotten 9%	Urban Legends: Final Cut (2000)	*For a movie set at a film school, Final Cut* is pretty much a textbook case on how not to make a movie.** — Fort Worth Star-Telegram Posted Jan 1, 2000
