Sinners (2025) 98% 5/5 “Just when you thought there didn't need to be another vampire movie, along comes director/writer Ryan Coogler who says, "hold my holy water."” – Houston Chronicle Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Nickel Boys (2024) 91% 5/5 “Even the detractors of "Nickel Boys" will have to concede that they haven't seen anything quite like it on the big screen in recent years.” – Houston Chronicle Jan 14, 2025 Full Review The Brutalist (2024) 93% 5/5 “A thrillingly ambitious, 3 1/2-hour (including a 15-minute intermission) character study and portrait of mid-century America that leaves an indelible impression.” – Houston Chronicle Jan 14, 2025 Full Review Harbin (2024) 88% 4/5 “Visually, "Harbin" is often stunning. Woo Min-ho often is painterly in how he re-creates the early 20 century. Along with cinematographer Hong Kyung-pyo ("Parasite," "Snowpiercer"), he uses the screen as a canvas for some absolutely ravishing images.” – Houston Chronicle Jan 5, 2025 Full Review The Fire Inside (2024) 93% 3.5/5 “"The Fire Inside," which tells the story of Flint, Michigan's Claressa "T. Rex" Shields, the first female American boxer to win Olympics gold, is a well-made, straight-ahead, sports biopic ” – Houston Chronicle Dec 30, 2024 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 84% 4/5 “Fans of contemporary, jump-scare horror may be disappointed and "Nosferatu" isn't particularly scary. But Eggers has created an enveloping mood that is hard to shake. ” – Houston Chronicle Dec 30, 2024 Full Review A Complete Unknown (2024) 82% 4.5/5 “So many things could have gone wrong with a Bob Dylan biopic that it's a small miracle that James Mangold's "A Complete Unknown" is not just watchable but actually slyly observant and surprisingly compelling.” – Houston Chronicle Dec 30, 2024 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% 3/5 “For those craving their fix of head-hewing, sword-swinging Roman barbarity, "Gladiator II" capably fills the bill. Just don't expect much more than that. ” – Houston Chronicle Nov 17, 2024 Full Review A Real Pain (2024) 96% 5/5 “(An) enormously satisfying, darkly-shaded road-trip comedy about family, faith and finding yourself.” – Houston Chronicle Nov 15, 2024 Full Review Megalopolis (2024) 45% 1.5/5 “"Megalopolis" is a heavy-handed, chaotic and cacophonous mess, less a cohesive train of thought than a disastrous cinematic derailment.” – Houston Chronicle Sep 25, 2024 Full Review Speak No Evil (2024) 83% 4/5 “"Speak No Evil" is predictable, even if you haven't seen the Danish movie, but it's so well-done, and the cast is so good that its lack of surprise isn't a big drawback. It's a B-movie with an A-level cast, and there's nothing wrong with that.” – Houston Chronicle Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Strange Darling (2023) 96% 4.5/5 “Director/writer JT Mollner's clever, tense take on gender politics and casual sexual intimacy gone very wrong is not only one of the most striking films of the summer but of the year. ” – Houston Chronicle Aug 20, 2024 Full Review Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In (2024) 90% 4/5 “(The film) is a glorious throwback to (the '80s), both cinematically and literally. It is a shout-out to all the Hong Kong films that preceded it and it also set in '80s-era Hong Kong inside Kowloon Walled City, a crime-ridden, high-rise slum.” – Houston Chronicle Aug 5, 2024 Full Review Twisters (2024) 75% 3.5/5 “(Chung) has crafted a sleek, if predictable, storm story that doesn't reinvent the disaster-movie wheel but finds a comfortable balance between emotion and effects.” – Houston Chronicle Jul 17, 2024 Full Review Escape (2024) 71% 4/5 “Clocking in at a brisk 94 minutes, "Escape," much like our hero, doesn't pause to catch its breath. Just when you think Lim will get a break, (director) Lee Jong-Pil throws in another twist to crank up the tension up until the last minute. ” – Houston Chronicle Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (2024) 67% 3.5/5 “Whether he's feigning shock that a co-worker...has never heard of his imagined Negro Hockey League team The Winnipeg Black Guys or getting into argument with a parking attendant...Murphy's style is the meat on this movie's slender bones.” – Houston Chronicle Jul 2, 2024 Full Review Kill (2023) 89% 4.5/5 “We've had "Boy Kills World" already this summer, and this could have been named "Grown Man Kills World." This is the movie that the solid but less enthralling "Monkey Man" and the empty "Bullet Train" wanted to be when they grew up.” – Houston Chronicle Jul 2, 2024 Full Review A Quiet Place: Day One (2024) 86% 4.5/5 “What's not so predictable is how both terrifying and moving "A Quiet Place: Day One," the first big-budget movie from noted indie director Michael Sarnoski, turns out to be, especially considering the audience has been here before -- twice.” – Houston Chronicle Jun 27, 2024 Full Review Hit Man (2023) 95% 4/5 “A smartly written, sublimely comedic, and sexy human-scale relationship story with a touch of just enough suspense and hints of criminality to prove that its title is not a complete misnomer. ” – Houston Chronicle May 20, 2024 Full Review Boy Kills World (2023) 58% 3.5/5 “As a feature-film debut for Moritz Mohr, it's an impressively kinetic calling card with a head-slamming, skin-shredding climax so violent that it could even make Quentin Tarantino say, "Dude, you might want to dial it back a notch or three."” – Houston Chronicle Apr 22, 2024 Full Review Civil War (2024) 81% 4.5/5 “"Civil War" takes what many whisper about in these divisive, polarizing times and turns it into a smartly crafted, suspenseful, propulsive thriller that manages to make a statement without tipping Garland's political hand too much. ” – Houston Chronicle Apr 10, 2024 Full Review Society of the Snow (2023) 90% 4.5/5 “Yet, for all its horrors, “Society of the Snow,” based on Pablo Vierci’s non-fiction book of the same name, is also a story of friendship, sacrifice and hope, and that is what lingers after the film’s nightmares have receded into memory.” – Houston Chronicle Dec 26, 2023 Full Review Poor Things (2023) 93% 4.5/5 “A delicious, unpredictable mix of horror, science-fiction, romance, comedy and sex that is set in a world of exhilarating, Wes Anderson-style visual delights.” – Houston Chronicle Dec 19, 2023 Full Review Napoleon (2023) 58% 3/5 “A gorgeously shot collection of Napoleon's greatest hits that doesn't really come together as a whole...But that doesn't mean that "Napoleon" is without its pleasures, many of them visual and visceral. ” – Houston Chronicle Nov 17, 2023 Full Review The Holdovers (2023) 97% 4.5/5 “This exactly the type of theatrical film that we were told Hollywood would not be making in the post-pandemic era: a non-franchise, character-driven, middling-budget drama aimed at adults. Thank goodness, at least in this case, the pundits were wrong.” – Houston Chronicle Nov 11, 2023 Full Review
