The Matrix (1999) 83% “The Wachowskis seem to be saying that while state-of-the-art effects speak for themselves, loud and clear, there's still room amid all the kicking and shooting and shouting for the carefully observed human emotion.” – Dallas Observer Jul 13, 2023 Full Review The Original Kings of Comedy (2000) 83% “[The Original Kings of Comedy] is a fresh, intimate, gloriously unpolished performance film that measures up to the classics of the genre: Richard Pryor Live on the Sunset Strip and the notorious Eddie Murphy Raw.” – Houston Press Aug 7, 2019 Full Review Practical Magic (1998) 26% “As witch movies go -- even lighthearted, supposedly comic witch movies -- Practical Magic is conspicuously lacking in supernatural phenomena.” – New Times Mar 30, 2019 Full Review Analyze This (1999) 69% “Suffice to say that the real pleasures of Analyze This lie in the easy confidence with which De Niro savages himself.” – New Times Mar 21, 2019 Full Review American Beauty (1999) 87% “This seriocomic autopsy of middle-class virtue has the capacity to startle and surprise, and a gift for finding grim humor at the heart of tragedy.” – New Times Feb 22, 2015 Full Review The Sixth Sense (1999) 86% “Beyond these startling apparitions, there's a surplus of mumbo-jumbo in here -- and some ludicrously false notes.” – New Times Oct 7, 2014 Full Review Supercross: The Movie (2005) 5% “If you love Kawasakis, Hondas, and Yamahas, and don't mind tin-eared writing, get down to the multiplex.” – New Times Jul 27, 2014 Full Review Up for Grabs (2004) 93% “Michael Wranovics' well-meant documentary about the absurd legal battle over the ownership of the baseball Barry Bonds hit for his season-record 73rd home run, back in 2001, is instantly overshadowed by subsequent events.” – New Times May 12, 2014 Full Review Chicago (2002) 87% “As the show has always taught us, the public is fickle and fame is fleeting. But some things turn out to be timeless. Chicago looks like one of them.” – Dallas Observer Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Flyboys (2006) 34% “Among these combatants, you won't find much All Quiet on the Western Front-style despair, and the paths of glory are unsullied by doubt or disillusionment.” – Village Voice Sep 19, 2006 Full Review The Illusionist (2006) 73% “These resolutely old-fashioned elements might not work at all in a less well-crafted movie. But this entertaining tale of wizardry and lost love vaporizes even our most serious doubts.” – Village Voice Aug 15, 2006 Full Review Step Up (2006) 21% “Fletcher ably blends ballet and hip-hop, but the filming itself is often clumsy, and Tatum's relentless African American impersonation quickly wears out its welcome.” – Village Voice Aug 15, 2006 Full Review The Blood of My Brother (2005) 70% “[The filmmakers'] access is far broader than any 온라인카지노추천 network's, and in the end, they transcended the body counts and bland abstractions that characterize most Western reporting on the war.” – L.A. Weekly Jul 27, 2006 Full Review Scoop (2006) 41% “It not only lacks the verve and energy of Allen's best New York-based work, it feels culturally adrift, like some bewildered tourist trying to read a city map held upside down.” – City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul Jul 25, 2006 Full Review Beowulf & Grendel (2005) 50% “Thus does Beowulf collide with postmodern punk sensibility.” – Village Voice Jul 5, 2006 Full Review Once in a Lifetime: The Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos (2006) 82% “This intermittently fascinating documentary chronicles the rise and fall of the Cosmos--which is also the rise and fall of U.S. soccer.” – Village Voice Jul 5, 2006 Full Review Waist Deep (2006) 28% “For its ever shifting attitudes toward men, women, and murder, Waist Deep is one of the sloppiest movies ever to reach the screen.” – Village Voice Jun 27, 2006 Full Review Revoloution (2006) 27% “Be aware that RevoLOUtion is a remarkably well-made 75-minute inspiromercial.” – L.A. Weekly Jun 9, 2006 Full Review Goal! The Dream Begins (2005) 43% “Aside from a flirtation with the hot-button immigration issue, this inspirational movie about an underdog soccer player from tough East Los Angeles is pretty standard stuff.” – L.A. Weekly May 11, 2006 Full Review Russian Dolls (2005) 72% “Those who loved the original Auberge will likely be eager to book rooms once again.” – Village Voice May 9, 2006 Full Review Silent Hill (2006) 32% “Stuffed with cheap effects and devoid of tension, this French-Japanese-U.S. co-production contributes exactly zilch to the rich film history of those three nations.” – Village Voice May 2, 2006 Full Review Water (2005) 90% “This work of gorgeous fury, about the virtual imprisonment of millions of Hindu widows in the years before independence, transforms Mehta's feminist rage into an eloquent testament to the hunger for freedom.” – Village Voice Apr 25, 2006 Full Review The Sentinel (2006) 34% “[The film] has more holes than Bush's war plan and employs less fluent English.” – Village Voice Apr 25, 2006 Full Review Sir! No Sir! (2005) 89% “As it is, this one is compelling enough, a potent mix of outrage, residual anger, and sorrow that speaks not just to the legacy of our misadventures in Vietnam, but to the entire uncertain future of a nation at war.” – Village Voice Apr 18, 2006 Full Review Monster-in-Law (2005) 19% “Billed as a comedy, this low-wattage sitcom is both ill-tempered and mean-spirited -- not least when it's cracking anti-gay jokes and making snide suggestions about incest.” – Dallas Observer May 13, 2005 Full Review
