Dasavatharam (2008) |
No shortage of violent action, wacky comedy and, of course, musical numbers - a three-hour head rush of cinematic delirium that couldn't have been made anywhere else in the world. - L.A. Weekly

Friday (1995) |
Gray's direction is painfully flat, and curiously -- especially for a popular music video director like Gray -- lacking any interesting visual style. - Austin Chronicle

Ghost in the Shell (1995) |
Ultimately Ghost in the Shell remains a hard sell, with sluggish pacing and sloppy storytelling effectively smothering the strengths of this lackluster effort. - Austin Chronicle

Chain Reaction (1996) |

Assassins (1995) |
A surprisingly effective thriller, Assassins is much better than it needs to be, thanks mainly to a fast-paced script and two great supporting performances. - Austin Chronicle
