Grease (1978) 66% “Exuberant song and dance scenes are what make Grease the enjoyable diversion that it is. It is not a knockout film. But Grease is a smartly crafted revival of a traditional movie musical form, and for that we are thankful. ” – The Oklahoman Feb 8, 2024 Full Review My Kid Could Paint That (2007) 94% 3/4 “A fascinating documentary.” – Houston Chronicle Oct 19, 2007 Full Review Gone Baby Gone (2007) 94% 4/4 “A love-tolerate valentine to the city, it feels more real than the gangster-gorged mean streets of Martin Scorsese's The Departed, and just as tortured as Clint Eastwood's Mystic River.” – Houston Chronicle Oct 19, 2007 Full Review Lust, Caution (2007) 73% 3/4 “A quietly compelling drama of hidden desperation and fierce passions.” – Houston Chronicle Oct 12, 2007 Full Review The Alps (2007) 100% 3.5/4 “An eye-popping tribute to the European range that's heaved heavenward since bulging from the Earth eons ago during continental drift.” – Houston Chronicle Oct 5, 2007 Full Review King of California (2007) 62% 3/4 “Writer-director Mike Cahill explores Charlie's foolishness with funny-sad fondness.” – Houston Chronicle Oct 5, 2007 Full Review The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising (2007) 13% 1.5/4 “It's simply product for a pre-conditioned marketplace, pushing familiar buttons without doing anything remotely creative.” – Houston Chronicle Oct 5, 2007 Full Review Feast of Love (2007) 39% 3.5/4 “Director Robert Benton and screenwriter Allison Burnett tell a sobering, adult-geared tale of love's highs, lows and maddening twists and turns.” – Houston Chronicle Sep 28, 2007 Full Review Fierce People (2005) 24% 2.5/4 “A buoyant coming-of-age adventure welded to an amiable wealth fantasy.” – Houston Chronicle Sep 21, 2007 Full Review In the Shadow of the Moon (2006) 95% 3/4 “Though Shadow could use a bit more confessionals and a bit less history, it still succeeds as a reminder of America's can-do spirit at its best.” – Houston Chronicle Sep 21, 2007 Full Review In the Valley of Elah (2007) 73% 2.5/4 “[Haggis'] self-serious tone becomes wearisome, and he fails to explore how the military failed its men while clumsily laying a guilt trip at its feet.” – Houston Chronicle Sep 21, 2007 Full Review Sea of Dreams (2006) 43% 1.5/4 “Sea of Dreams purports to be a film of 'magic realism,' but it's neither magical nor realistic.” – Houston Chronicle Sep 21, 2007 Full Review Deep Water (2006) 96% 4/4 “For this gripping and amazing documentary, such truth emerges not just from the facts, but also the poetry of men who redefine themselves in a risky race on small sailboats.” – Houston Chronicle Sep 14, 2007 Full Review The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007) 97% 3/4 “Nerds rule.” – Houston Chronicle Sep 14, 2007 Full Review Silk (2007) 7% 1.5/4 “Although the period-piece film has all the trappings, from beautiful people to an obligatory sense of tragedy, it never follows through. In fact, its love story needs a shove -- it just lies there.” – Houston Chronicle Sep 14, 2007 Full Review Eastern Promises (2007) 89% 1/4 “What it's really about, more than sensitivity for displaced people or social analyses, is violence -- hideous, gruesome, over-the-top violence.” – Houston Chronicle Sep 14, 2007 Full Review This Is England (2006) 93% 3/4 “A drama that's so potent and persuasive yet also natural and intimate that it almost has the heft of a documentary.” – Houston Chronicle Sep 7, 2007 Full Review 3:10 to Yuma (2007) 89% 3.5/4 “The best Western since Unforgiven, 3:10 to Yuma is both cathartic and intelligent. While a wildly eventful action-adventure and outlaw shoot-'em-up, it's also a vibrant story of heroism, villainy and hard-earned redemption.” – Houston Chronicle Sep 7, 2007 Full Review To Rob a Thief (2007) 64% 3/4 “If you want dangerous schemes to be light-hearted entertainment, you've got to make allowances. Besides, the payoffs are worth it - in any language.” – Houston Chronicle Aug 31, 2007 Full Review Death Sentence (2007) 20% 1.5/4 “It may be the most depressing action movie ever made. Its calamities are well staged, and its acting, beyond some histrionics, is fine. But you don't enjoy this film; you endure it.” – Houston Chronicle Aug 31, 2007 Full Review Rocket Science (2007) 84% 1.5/4 “Borrowing from too many movies to count, Rocket Science botches that brew in an unwieldy slew of adolescent-angst clichés.” – Houston Chronicle Aug 24, 2007 Full Review The Invasion (2007) 20% 2/4 “Resistance is futile -- unless your screenplay can offer pat, absurd plot turns.” – Houston Chronicle Aug 17, 2007 Full Review The Ten (2007) 35% 1.5/4 “Perhaps the Bible needs an 11th Commandment: Thou Shalt Not Bore. That might stem misfires such as The Ten.” – Houston Chronicle Aug 17, 2007 Full Review Black Sheep (2006) 71% 3/4 “This lurid lunacy from New Zealand is a horror-humor cross-breed of animal lore and giddy gore.” – Houston Chronicle Aug 10, 2007 Full Review Goya's Ghosts (2006) 30% 2/4 “A punishing misfire.” – Houston Chronicle Aug 3, 2007 Full Review
