Holy Motors (2012) 91% EDIT “Such a wild, weird and joyful film that I wouldn't have been surprised if fireworks started going off in the theater 3/4 of the way into the film. It's that kind of experience.” – ScreenAnarchy Apr 29, 2020 Full Review Everyone's Hero (2006) 42% 2/5 EDIT “Young boys may be enchanted by the inspirational adventure, but for anyone over the age of nine, Yankee's journey is ultimately a dull one paved with good intentions.” – Austin Chronicle Sep 30, 2006 Full Review The Protector (2005) 53% 3/5 EDIT “By the end you're so invigorated that narrative issues seem like an afterthought.” – Austin Chronicle Sep 23, 2006 Full Review Barnyard: The Original Party Animals (2006) 23% 1.5/5 EDIT “Strictly for kids, and, as the three or four people who saw Oedekerk's previous directing effort, Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, can attest, the writer/director tends to stretch even throwaway jokes minutes past the punch line.” – Austin Chronicle Sep 23, 2006 Full Review Material Girls (2006) 4% 0/5 EDIT “The villain (a greedy corporate man of some sort) isn't very fleshed out, but it's hard to believe that he's any worse than the two self-serving, appearance-obsessed protagonists, with whom the film asks young girls everywhere to identify.” – Austin Chronicle Sep 2, 2006 Full Review Shadowboxer (2005) 17% 1.5/5 EDIT “There's no glee here, just a handful of glum characters stuck in an unending cycle of sex, violence, and heavy-handed preaching.” – Austin Chronicle Aug 19, 2006 Full Review Accepted (2006) 38% 1/5 EDIT “It's an obvious nod to Rock 'n' Roll High School that mostly serves as a grim reminder of how far comedies about the education system have fallen.” – Austin Chronicle Aug 17, 2006 Full Review Scoop (2006) 42% 2/4 EDIT “Scoop suffers from the same problem as much of Allen's recent work: Even when the witty banter clicks, it seems stale.” – Austin Chronicle Jul 27, 2006 Full Review The King (2005) 58% 2.5/5 EDIT “The many possible ways to read the film might be more fruitful if Marsh's direction was more assured.” – Austin Chronicle Jul 15, 2006 Full Review You, Me and Dupree (2006) 21% 2/5 EDIT “Not that the film needed to head into darker territory, but sidestepping even half of the clichés of the final act may keep the film from feeling so uneven and disposable. But, as far as disposable entertainment goes, it gets the job done.” – Austin Chronicle Jul 13, 2006 Full Review Look Both Ways (2005) 75% 2.5/5 EDIT “It's the type of film in which a character sits next to his work acquaintance for a few moments, then asks, 'Do you believe in God?'” – Austin Chronicle Jul 8, 2006 Full Review The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006) 38% 2/5 EDIT “Racing junkies would be better off browsing the myriad online drifting videos where the camera doesn't cut and the people don't speak. Film buffs would be better off watching Two-Lane Blacktop, but they probably already knew that.” – Austin Chronicle Jun 15, 2006 Full Review
