Posted Oct 9, 2006
46% The Last Kiss (2006) " ...gets caught between taking risks and playing it safe." — Denton Record Chronicle (TX)
Posted Oct 9, 2006
42% Gridiron Gang (2006) " 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
33% Flyboys (2006) " ...while the flying sequences might be visually slick and exciting, the accompanying screenplay is woefully trite and phony." — Denton Record Chronicle (TX)
Posted Oct 9, 2006
37% The Guardian (2006) " ...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
2% Crossover (2006) " 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
69% A Scanner Darkly (2006) " 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
12% Little Man (2006) " 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
63% Clerks II (2006) " ...less profound than it is uneven, an intermittently satisfying mix." — Denton Record Chronicle (TX)
Posted Aug 31, 2006
63% The Ant Bully (2006) " ...this visually arresting story of a young geek's friendship with some enterprising ants isn't as compelling in the script department." — Denton Record Chronicle (TX)
Posted Aug 31, 2006
22% Barnyard (2006) " ...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
19% Step Up (2006) " ...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
48% Idlewild (2006) " ...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
11% Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties (2006) " 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
27% Waist Deep (2006) " ...shows some gritty visual flair, but too much of this material feels familiar, right down to the climactic showdown and the obligatory pulsating soundtrack." — Denton Record Chronicle (TX)
Posted Jun 26, 2006
27% The Omen (2006) " ...only genuinely scary in the way it reveals the dearth of creativity in the current Hollywood landscape of sequels and retreads." — Denton Record Chronicle (TX)
Posted Jun 14, 2006
74% Cars (2006) " For all of its high-octane characters, Cars too often seems to be spinning its wheels." — Denton Record Chronicle (TX)
Posted Jun 14, 2006
25% The Lost City (2005) " 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

Posted Jun 14, 2006
58% Night Watch (Nochnoi Dozor) (2006) " ...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
57% Ice Age 2: The Meltdown (2006) " ...missing the novelty of the first film, both in the imaginatively drawn prehistoric setting and the witty interaction between the characters." — Denton Record Chronicle (TX)
Posted Jun 12, 2006
62% ATL (2006) " 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
33% The Libertine (2006) " ...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
26% The Shaggy Dog (2006) " 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

Posted Jun 12, 2006
42% Don't Come Knocking (2006) " ...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
37% Scary Movie 4 (2006) " 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
20% The Wild (2006) " 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
33% The Sentinel (2006) " 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
56% The Notorious Bettie Page (2006) " 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
23% RV (2006) " 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
44% Goal! The Dream Begins (Goal!: The Impossible Dream) (2005) " 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
33% Poseidon (2006) " 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
75% Zathura (2005) " 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
46% Rent (2005) " 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
14% In the Mix (2005) " 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
43% Bee Season (2005) " 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
51% Ellie Parker (2005) " ...the stretch to feature length hasn't done the material any favors." — Denton Record Chronicle (TX)
Posted Feb 21, 2006
35% Memoirs of a Geisha (2005) " ...the film's achievements lie mostly on the surface, rather than underneath it." — Denton Record Chronicle (TX)
Posted Feb 21, 2006
51% The Family Stone (2005) " ...turns from endearing to phony even before the first carol is sung." — Denton Record Chronicle (TX)
Posted Feb 21, 2006
29% Fun With Dick and Jane (2005) " Carrey and Leoni don't achieve much chemistry, mostly because she's so busy playing straight man to his antics." — Denton Record Chronicle (TX)
Posted Feb 21, 2006
55% Glory Road (2006) " The true story is fascinating, groundbreaking and inspirational. It's a shame the cinematic treatment is predictable, conventional and trite." — Denton Record Chronicle (TX)
Posted Feb 21, 2006
69% Curious George (2006) " Small children might enjoy the title character's slapstick antics, but there's not much here to satisfy adults seeking a dose of nostalgia." — Denton Record Chronicle (TX)
Posted Feb 21, 2006
19% Firewall (2006) " By the time this match of wits reaches the inevitable mano-a-mano final showdown, viewers will probably have become weary from all of the incoherent plot twists and ludicrous contrivances. " — Denton Record Chronicle (TX)
Posted Feb 21, 2006
51% Manderlay (2006) " [Von Trier] ratchets up the anti-American sentiment significantly here, but it's all hot air with very little substance, even more so than its predecessor." — Denton Record Chronicle (TX)
