Slow Burn (2005) 9% 0.5/5 EDIT “The cast, particularly Liotta, walks around with befuddled expressions on their faces, perhaps wondering what on earth they're doing in this movie and how they can find a new agent ASAP.” – Austin Chronicle Mar 25, 2020 Full Review Darfur Now (2007) 74% 2.5/5 EDIT “While it's commendable that Cheadle and Clooney travel the world to promote awareness of the Darfur conflict, it doesn't necessarily make for a good 10 minutes of film.” – Austin Chronicle Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007) 75% 3/4 EDIT “The songs (written by a slew of artists, including Reilly, Apatow, and Kasdan) are genuine, ridiculous, and often very funny.” – Austin Chronicle Dec 21, 2007 Full Review Enchanted (2007) 93% 3.5/5 EDIT “The jokes rarely miss and the result is a refreshingly sardonic fairy tale.” – Austin Chronicle Nov 21, 2007 Full Review Love in the Time of Cholera (2007) 25% 1.5/5 EDIT “Itâ(TM)s better to just read the book.” – Austin Chronicle Nov 16, 2007 Full Review Fred Claus (2007) 20% 1/5 EDIT “How many laughs can one movie try to squeeze out of Vaughn being attacked by elves? Sadly, it's an awful lot.” – Austin Chronicle Nov 8, 2007 Full Review Martian Child (2007) 35% 2/5 EDIT “There are absolutely no surprises as the film disintegrates into its own cutesy display.” – Austin Chronicle Oct 31, 2007 Full Review Deep Water (2006) 96% 4/5 EDIT “The film evokes a visceral understanding of solitude at sea.” – Austin Chronicle Oct 26, 2007 Full Review King of California (2007) 62% 3/5 EDIT “The story is simple, sometimes to a fault, and ultimately Cahill doesn't quite pull off all of the majesty that he attempts. But, I'm excited to see what he'll come up with next.” – Austin Chronicle Oct 20, 2007 Full Review Why Did I Get Married? (2007) 48% 1/5 EDIT “There's such an overriding sense of soap opera that I kept expecting a commercial break.” – Austin Chronicle Oct 19, 2007 Full Review The Final Season (2007) 26% .5/5 EDIT “Kind of Hoosiers: Part 2. But the storytelling is so backassward that it's impossible to care about any of the characters or really engage in the movie whatsoever.” – Austin Chronicle Oct 12, 2007 Full Review 12:08 East of Bucharest (2006) 96% 3.5/5 EDIT “While 12:08 East of Bucharest could take more than one viewing to truly appreciate, it's worth the commitment.” – Austin Chronicle Oct 6, 2007 Full Review Silk (2007) 7% 1.5/5 EDIT “While the locations are stunning and the cinematography (by Alain Dostie) frequently pulls off compositions of breathtaking beauty, the flimsy emotional journey left me bored and frustrated -- never a good combination.” – Austin Chronicle Sep 22, 2007 Full Review Sydney White (2007) 36% 1.5/5 EDIT “From the contrived romance to the hazy lavender eye make-up that Sydney sports in every scene, there's nothing real about this film.” – Austin Chronicle Sep 21, 2007 Full Review War (2007) 14% 2/5 EDIT “First-time feature director Atwell clearly displays skills he picked up directing videos for Eminem and 50 Cent.” – Austin Chronicle Aug 31, 2007 Full Review Death at a Funeral (2007) 63% 3/5 EDIT “Just when you think things can't quite get any crazier, they do.” – Austin Chronicle Aug 25, 2007 Full Review Rocket Science (2007) 84% 3.5/5 EDIT “Writer/director Blitz demonstrates just how intimately he absorbed the quirky teens and preteens of his prior film.” – Austin Chronicle Aug 24, 2007 Full Review The Simpsons Movie (2007) 87% 3/5 EDIT “Maybe the movie is just reaching out for something that saw its heyday five (or even 10) years ago. But oh, what a heyday.” – Austin Chronicle Aug 11, 2007 Full Review Talk to Me (2007) 82% 3/5 EDIT “Despite its earnest attempts at power drama, the joy of Talk to Me lies in the comedy and the wild performances.” – Austin Chronicle Aug 11, 2007 Full Review Becoming Jane (2007) 58% 2/5 EDIT “Becoming Jane attempts to please the purists and the dreamers, but only results in disappointing both.” – Austin Chronicle Aug 10, 2007 Full Review I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry (2007) 15% 0/5 EDIT “Contrived to the point of painful.” – Austin Chronicle Jul 20, 2007 Full Review La Vie en Rose (2007) 74% 3.5/5 EDIT “Ultimately, the film rests on [Cotillard's] performance. And there's no better homage to a woman who lived for every time she stepped onto stage.” – Austin Chronicle Jun 22, 2007 Full Review I'm Reed Fish (2007) 52% 1/5 EDIT “Perhaps in more experienced hands, this self-reflection could achieve insight, but as director Adler's first feature and Fish's first produced screenplay, this mess was better left inside the writer's head.” – Austin Chronicle Jun 8, 2007 Full Review Once (2007) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Once transcends even its own ambitions, becoming a complex meditation on relationships, Irish culture, and music.” – Austin Chronicle Jun 1, 2007 Full Review Gracie (2007) 62% 2/5 EDIT “Disintegrates into movie-of-the-week predictability.” – Austin Chronicle May 31, 2007 Full Review
