State of Play (2009) 84% 3/4 EDIT “Crowe's terrific performance carries the movie.” – Houston Community Newspapers Apr 20, 2009 Full Review Hannah Montana: The Movie (2009) 43% 3/4 EDIT “It's a pretty dumb, predictable story, but for a ten year-old girl, the target audience, Hannah Montana: The Movie is good, clean G-rated fun without so much as one wet kiss.” – Houston Community Newspapers Apr 13, 2009 Full Review Adventureland (2009) 89% 3/4 EDIT “Uneven and downright bumpy at times, Adventureland is a reflective look at life in the 80's, backed by a terrific soundtrack and enough chuckles to justify two hours of your life.” – Houston Community Newspapers Apr 6, 2009 Full Review Monsters vs. Aliens (2009) 73% 3/4 EDIT “There is something magical about watching a well-made 3-D feature film--even one with a less than stellar script--to listen to the ooh's and ahs and giggles generated by kids in a sold-out theater.” – Houston Community Newspapers Mar 28, 2009 Full Review I Love You, Man (2009) 82% 3/4 EDIT “This is Judd Apatow material with Apatow nowhere to be found. But it is funny.” – Houston Community Newspapers Mar 21, 2009 Full Review Race to Witch Mountain (2009) 41% 2/4 EDIT “...certainly not in the E.T.bracket.” – Houston Community Newspapers Mar 14, 2009 Full Review Watchmen (2009) 64% 4/4 EDIT “If gore is not your thing, steer clear of this one.” – Houston Community Newspapers Mar 7, 2009 Full Review Echelon Conspiracy (2009) 0% 1/4 EDIT “Echelon Conspiracy is a pale imitation of Eagle Eye, not exactly a good movie to begin with.” – Houston Community Newspapers Feb 28, 2009 Full Review Fired Up (2009) 25% 2/4 EDIT “Ye gad--how old are these actors playing teenagers? Oh, never mind.” – Houston Community Newspapers Feb 21, 2009 Full Review Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009) 26% 2/4 EDIT “On this one the better choice is to window shop.” – Houston Community Newspapers Feb 14, 2009 Full Review Coraline (2009) 91% 3.5/4 EDIT “While the 3-D effect is truly spectacular, it's the story that stokes the imaginations of children.” – Houston Community Newspapers Feb 7, 2009 Full Review New in Town (2009) 28% 2/4 EDIT “I heard sustained laughter through the first two-thirds of the movie. Then it crashes and burns because the script, strip-mined from other similar themed efforts, runs out of ideas and jokes.” – Houston Community Newspapers Feb 2, 2009 Full Review Revolutionary Road (2008) 67% 3.5/4 EDIT “DiCaprio and Winslet deliver terrific performances.” – Houston Community Newspapers Jan 24, 2009 Full Review Last Chance Harvey (2008) 71% 3/4 EDIT “The romantic chemistry that flows between the two great leads is worth the price of admission.” – Houston Community Newspapers Jan 17, 2009 Full Review Gran Torino (2008) 81% 3.5/4 EDIT “If Gran Torino is Clint Eastwood's last acting gig, he's gone out in top form.” – Houston Community Newspapers Jan 10, 2009 Full Review Frost/Nixon (2008) 93% 4/4 EDIT “Frost/Nixon is compelling viewing and I can't recommend a movie more highly.” – Houston Community Newspapers Jan 2, 2009 Full Review Valkyrie (2008) 62% 3.5/4 EDIT “The performances truly stand out, led by Tom Cruise and several members of the supporting cast.” – Houston Community Newspapers Dec 27, 2008 Full Review The Tale of Despereaux (2008) 56% 3/4 EDIT “The animation quality is first rate.” – Houston Community Newspapers Dec 22, 2008 Full Review The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) 21% 2/4 EDIT “There was nothing wrong with the original that warranted a re-do--other than pursuit of legal tender.” – Houston Community Newspapers Dec 13, 2008 Full Review Cadillac Records (2008) 66% 3/4 EDIT “While the storyline is somewhat disjointed, the music really shines.” – Houston Community Newspapers Dec 6, 2008 Full Review Four Christmases (2008) 25% 1/4 EDIT “...lowbrow humor that fails to delight.” – Houston Community Newspapers Nov 30, 2008 Full Review Twilight (2008) 48% 3/4 EDIT “The door is left open for a second installment. Okay, I'll bite.” – Houston Community Newspapers Nov 22, 2008 Full Review Quantum of Solace (2008) 63% 3/4 EDIT “Okay, so it isn't Sean Connery, but Quantum of Solace is an enjoyable action-packed popcorn flick, with explosions galore and exciting chase scenes throughout.” – Houston Community Newspapers Nov 15, 2008 Full Review Role Models (2008) 77% 3/4 EDIT “All the people behind me in the back section were cackling their heads off during most of the movie.” – Houston Community Newspapers Nov 8, 2008 Full Review High School Musical 3: Senior Year (2008) 64% 3/4 EDIT “That clicking sound in the background might have been my arthritic knees banging together in harmony to the songs.” – Houston Community Newspapers Nov 1, 2008 Full Review
