Sweaty Betty (2015) 89% EDIT “What it lacks in technique or know-how, Sweaty Betty makes up for in heart and unfiltered artistic optimism.” – Austin Chronicle May 18, 2016 Full Review Theory of Obscurity: A Film About The Residents (2015) 75% EDIT “The task of parsing the meaning behind all their conceptual madness is left to a small but faithful army of fans, who speak lovingly of the band's devotion to art at the expense of commercial success.” – Austin Chronicle May 18, 2016 Full Review Bikes vs Cars (2015) 60% EDIT “Think of it as David and Goliath on wheels.” – Austin Chronicle Jul 30, 2015 Full Review Disaster Movie (2008) 1% 0/5 EDIT “There's no nice way to say this, so I'll just say it: Writer/directors Friedberg and Seltzer are a scourge. They're a plague on our cinematic landscape, a national shame, a danger to our culture.” – Austin Chronicle Jun 14, 2013 Full Review Moscow, Belgium (2008) 93% 3/5 EDIT “Moscow, Belgium feels not only like a movie from another culture but from another world.” – Austin Chronicle Apr 9, 2009 Full Review 12 Rounds (2009) 31% 2/5 EDIT “” – Austin Chronicle Mar 27, 2009 Full Review Knowing (2009) 35% 3/5 EDIT “It's just engaging enough to make you accept the possibility that two kids from the Boston suburbs may just be mankind's only hope for the future and just exciting enough to make you forget that you're watching a Nicolas Cage movie.” – Austin Chronicle Mar 20, 2009 Full Review I Love You, Man (2009) 82% 2/5 EDIT “I Love You, Man makes sure to give audiences exactly what they're expecting, but I couldn't shake the sense that the whole thing felt compulsory.” – Austin Chronicle Mar 19, 2009 Full Review Sunshine Cleaning (2008) 74% 2.5/5 EDIT “” – Austin Chronicle Mar 13, 2009 Full Review Miss March (2009) 5% 0/5 EDIT “We're the country that gave the world jazz and abstract expressionism and Orson Welles. We invented basketball and hip-hop. Now we export adolescent comedy garbage and hope the world won't notice.” – Austin Chronicle Mar 13, 2009 Full Review Jonas Brothers: The Concert Experience (2009) 21% 1.5/4 EDIT “They are all part of a great American tradition. Hate them if you want to, but you might as well hate gated communities,The Real World, and the war on terror while you're at it.” – Austin Chronicle Mar 5, 2009 Full Review I've Loved You So Long (2008) 89% 4/5 EDIT “Remarkable directorial debut of French novelist Claudel.” – Austin Chronicle Feb 27, 2009 Full Review Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail (2009) 27% 2/5 EDIT “” – Austin Chronicle Feb 20, 2009 Full Review Fired Up (2009) 25% 2/5 EDIT “This new movie borrows from the 2005 Vince Vaughn/Owen Wilson hit with such utter shamelessness, you have to wonder if royalty checks are already in the mail.” – Austin Chronicle Feb 19, 2009 Full Review The International (2009) 57% 2.5/5 EDIT “The International is just passable; it's a clock-puncher that's almost entirely free of suspense or surprise.” – Austin Chronicle Feb 12, 2009 Full Review Che: Part Two (2008) 80% 3.5/5 EDIT “Luckily for us, Soderbergh is one of those rare directors who's able to make uninterrupted misery engaging.” – Austin Chronicle Jan 29, 2009 Full Review Che: Part One (2008) 67% 3.5/5 EDIT “In the end Che isn't really about a hero or a man; it's about the mechanics of guerrilla warfare, the day-to-day workings of an insurgency.” – Austin Chronicle Jan 23, 2009 Full Review Defiance (2008) 58% 3/5 EDIT “The story, in other words, is pure Hollywood gold, full of opportunities for stirring speeches, ethical quandaries, lessons about tolerance and humanity, and violence against Nazis.” – Austin Chronicle Jan 16, 2009 Full Review The Wrestler (2008) 99% 3.5/5 EDIT “As far as I'm concerned, you can keep your Sean Penns and your Brad Pitts and your Frank Langellas; if there's any justice in the world, this year's best actor Academy Award will be going home with Rourke.” – Austin Chronicle Jan 9, 2009 Full Review Bedtime Stories (2008) 27% 1/5 EDIT “I was so exhausted by Sandler's rubbery-face-and-funny-voices schtick, that no amount of good-natured moralizing about the importance of family and love was going to have any effect on me.” – Austin Chronicle Dec 25, 2008 Full Review Seven Pounds (2008) 26% 3.5/5 EDIT “Smith is more likable the less he tries to make us like him.” – Austin Chronicle Dec 17, 2008 Full Review Dark Streets (2008) 19% 1.5/5 EDIT “A collection of 1950s B-movie mannerisms that would have made for a great parody if only it were capable of laughing at its own hard-boiled absurdity.” – Austin Chronicle Dec 12, 2008 Full Review Lake City (2008) 12% 1.5/5 EDIT “The only thing saving Lake City from total ridiculousness is Spacek.” – Austin Chronicle Dec 4, 2008 Full Review The Dukes (2007) 57% 2.5/5 EDIT “As light as a feather and about as memorable, The Dukes is a pet project all the way, just a lark for Davi and his buddies to star in and screen for one another like a home movie.” – Austin Chronicle Nov 26, 2008 Full Review The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (2008) 65% 2.5/5 EDIT “The tropes of the heartwarming indie kids movie get thrown together with the tropes of the low-voltage, war-at-home war drama, and the result is muddled but undeniably affecting” – Austin Chronicle Nov 21, 2008 Full Review
