3/5 EDIT “” – Austin Chronicle Oct 26, 2019 Full Review Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party (2016) 4% 0/5 EDIT “Arguing that those with different beliefs are evil, corrupt, and aggressively un-American is really the most un-American position one can take.” – Austin Chronicle Jul 21, 2016 Full Review The Wedding Ringer (2015) 29% 1/5 EDIT “The film is so flat and tired it really doesn't deserve the vehemence of this review. It's like chastising a completely airless tire for not rolling.” – Austin Chronicle Jan 23, 2015 Full Review Blackhat (2015) 33% 2/5 EDIT “Blackhat plays a surprisingly flat and ever-flatter cinema texture against the careful roll-out of an elaborate plot.” – Austin Chronicle Jan 15, 2015 Full Review Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb (2014) 48% 3/5 EDIT “Nice effects work, a relatively swift-moving narrative, sweet performances, and, by now, a well-worn premise prove inspiring this time out, and not deadening.” – Austin Chronicle Dec 18, 2014 Full Review Point and Shoot (2014) 72% 3/5 EDIT “The film is entirely fascinating but made me feel somehow deeply unclean.” – Austin Chronicle Dec 11, 2014 Full Review Before I Go to Sleep (2014) 36% 1/5 EDIT “This is 50 First Dates-dark, but lacking that film's humor, characterizations, dramatic interest, and consistency.” – Austin Chronicle Nov 6, 2014 Full Review The Green Prince (2014) 76% 3/5 EDIT “This is very powerful stuff, but what you ultimately make of it will have a lot to do with the politics you bring to watching it.” – Austin Chronicle Oct 23, 2014 Full Review Last Days in Vietnam (2014) 95% 3.5/5 EDIT “Powerful and terrifying.” – Austin Chronicle Oct 2, 2014 Full Review The Liberator (2013) 36% 2.5/5 EDIT “Without sufficient context, the films swirls grandly but without making much meaning.” – Austin Chronicle Oct 2, 2014 Full Review The Equalizer (2014) 61% 3/5 EDIT “I'd argue that Fuqua is evolving into one of the most interesting and ambitious mainstream action film directors currently working.” – Austin Chronicle Sep 25, 2014 Full Review Atlas Shrugged: Who Is John Galt? (2014) 0% 0.5/5 EDIT “In 1949, when Warner Bros. filmed The Fountainhead, Rand threatened to burn down the studio if they compromised her novel. I'd like to think that if she were alive she'd be looking for lighter fluid for this one.” – Austin Chronicle Sep 18, 2014 Full Review Cantinflas (2014) 47% 2/5 EDIT “To the uninitiated, such as myself, apart from the familiar landmarks of a career's trajectory, a lot of what is going on is too lightly sketched.” – Austin Chronicle Sep 4, 2014 Full Review The Last of Robin Hood (2013) 27% 1.5/5 EDIT “The Last Days of Robin Hood combines shredded bits of biography, scandal-sheet gossip-mongering, and philosophical retrospective into an unsightly and, unfortunately, uninteresting mess.” – Austin Chronicle Sep 4, 2014 Full Review I Travel Alone (2013) 62% 2/5 EDIT “So slow-moving, the narrative takes forever to gain momentum, and when it finally does, it deliberately undercuts it.” – Austin Chronicle Aug 28, 2014 Full Review The Fluffy Movie (2014) 57% 2.5/5 EDIT “Inherently funny, with a terrific sense of timing, an amazing gift for mimicry, and an ability to perfectly imitate all kinds of everyday sounds, Iglesias is always charming and frequently laugh-out-loud funny.” – Austin Chronicle Jul 31, 2014 Full Review Persecuted (2014) 0% 2.5/5 EDIT “Persecuted matches its conservative beliefs to an anachronistic narrative structure and dated cinematic execution.” – Austin Chronicle Jul 24, 2014 Full Review Lucy (2014) 67% 3.5/5 EDIT “A daring, giddy joy ride of an adventure, Lucy races along, leaves a swirlingly confused trail behind it, as it tracks a single intelligence that's rapidly evolving from human to universal.” – Austin Chronicle Jul 24, 2014 Full Review Planes: Fire & Rescue (2014) 44% 2/5 EDIT “The best intentions clearly resulted in the creation of a largely unimaginative, if still mildly entertaining, work.” – Austin Chronicle Jul 17, 2014 Full Review Life Itself (2014) 98% 3.5/5 EDIT “Appropriate to this man who lived his life for films is this movie that transcends subject and form to get at a portrait that is not just intimate and revealing, but cinema-loving, life-affirming, and inspiring.” – Austin Chronicle Jul 10, 2014 Full Review Korengal (2014) 87% 3/5 EDIT “Remarkably frank, Korengal espouses no one clear sentiment towards war.” – Austin Chronicle Jul 7, 2014 Full Review America: Imagine the World Without Her (2014) 8% EDIT “This is an unusually odious effort because it is so hugely hypocritical and ultimately self-serving.” – Austin Chronicle Jul 6, 2014 Full Review Jersey Boys (2014) 51% 2.5/5 EDIT “Jersey Boys is entertainingly told, yet is a more traditional film than are many Eastwood-directed works.” – Austin Chronicle Jun 19, 2014 Full Review 22 Jump Street (2014) 84% 2.5/5 EDIT “The creative team behind this, including the two leads, end up giving far more than the minimum they could have gotten away with -- which results in an unusually fun and funny film.” – Austin Chronicle Jun 12, 2014 Full Review Maleficent (2014) 54% 3/5 EDIT “Imaginatively, it places all the known elements of the story in different contexts, completely recasting this familiar fairy tale into a more poignant and resonant work.” – Austin Chronicle Jun 5, 2014 Full Review
