Beauty and the Beast (1946) 96% “So enchanting it takes your breath away, Jean Cocteau's 1946 live-action version of the famous fairy tale remains one of the most magical films ever made.” – New Times Dec 5, 2014 Full Review SuperBabies: Baby Geniuses 2 (2004) 0% “The first Baby Geniuses, released in 1999, was one of the most inane, humorless, ill-conceived, poorly acted comedies of the year. As difficult as it is to imagine, the sequel is even worse.” – New Times Jul 15, 2014 Full Review The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (2004) 57% “While The Life Aquatic doesn't take Anderson -- or Murray -- in a terribly new or challenging direction emotionally,it is an enjoyable adventure nonetheless.” – Screen International Mar 17, 2014 Full Review Chicago (2002) 87% “Despite the hype and an expected bonanza at the box office, the film is actually a disappointment. Quite simply, it is edited to death.” – Screen International Feb 12, 2014 Full Review Shrek 2 (2004) 89% “Shrek was no ordinary animated film, and Shrek 2 is, rarer still, proving every bit as cute, clever and funny as the original.” – Screen International Nov 25, 2013 Full Review Stepmom (1998) 44% “Many viewers will be brushing away tears by the final reel, but even those who remain dry-eyed will be won over by the powerful performances that bring the film's universal themes to life.” – New Times Jun 18, 2012 Full Review The Escapist (2008) 67% “A taut thriller that ends on a note of unexpected grace, the British prison drama The Escapist marks the impressive feature debut for director/co-writer Rupert Wyatt.” – Village Voice Apr 1, 2009 Full Review Quilombo Country (2006) 60% “Hopping from one settlement to another, the film too often feels more like a lesson than an experience.” – Village Voice Sep 17, 2008 Full Review Secrecy (2008) 94% “In addition to historical footage, the film employs a series of pulsating animated drawings, with the white ink against the black background injecting an appropriately unsettling, even sinister tone.” – Village Voice Sep 10, 2008 Full Review Elsa & Fred (2005) 55% “The problem isn't the acting; both actors are superb. It's Elsa's character that is so difficult to take. Only the hopelessly romantic will be able to tolerate her.” – Village Voice Jun 25, 2008 Full Review Quid Pro Quo (2008) 58% “Farmiga is captivating, Stahl less so -- although a bigger problem is writer/director Carlos Brooks's script, which sets up one story, then shifts gears into something more personal and psychologically specific.” – Village Voice Jun 11, 2008 Full Review The Year My Parents Went on Vacation (2006) 81% “Directed by Cao Hamburger, this warmly engaging film benefits from its understated approach (it suggests rather than spells out the political turmoil), and its light, comedic tone never mitigates the drama of the central story.” – Village Voice Feb 12, 2008 Full Review Antonia (2006) 93% “The music, rhythms and vibrant colors of the city are beautifully woven into cinematographer Jacob Sarmento Solitrenick's unobtrusive hand-held camerawork, while director/co-writer Tata Amaral reveals a deft hand with actors.” – L.A. Weekly Sep 20, 2007 Full Review Vitus (2006) 68% “Genius weighs heavily on a child prodigy who longs to be 'normal' in this charming Swiss import from veteran director Fredi M. Murer.” – L.A. Weekly Jul 5, 2007 Full Review Golden Door (2006) 73% “Emanuele Crialese's poetic tale of emigration at the turn of the 20th century follows an illiterate Sicilian farmer (Vincenzo Amato) and his family who, after seeing doctored photographs of money growing on trees, set their sights on America.” – Village Voice May 23, 2007 Full Review Nomad (2007) 7% “With commendable sincerity but also an unfortunate Hollywood veneer, Nomad is a poor man's Gladiator.” – Village Voice Mar 13, 2007 Full Review Arthur and the Invisibles (2006) 22% “Predictable and overly busy, this sci-fi adventure should nonetheless appeal to game-savvy tots, especially those familiar with the source material.” – Village Voice Jan 9, 2007 Full Review Arthur and the Invisibles (2006) 22% “[Actor Freddie] Highmore is sweetly exuberant, but the voice talent is uneven, and the only really clever bits find the CGI characters navigating real live foliage.” – L.A. Weekly Dec 28, 2006 Full Review Unknown (2006) 38% “The pacing is slightly off, with the action switching between the imprisoned men and the police who are trying to find them, and what should be a mounting sense of urgency inside the warehouse (think Reservoir Dogs) falters and goes slack.” – Village Voice Oct 31, 2006 Full Review Fever Pitch (2005) 66% “A sweet, ingratiating romantic comedy.” – Dallas Observer Apr 9, 2005 Full Review Walk on Water (2004) 74% “Will resonate with all sorts of viewers.” – Dallas Observer Mar 25, 2005 Full Review Paper Clips (2004) 71% “Low-key but inspirational.” – Dallas Observer Feb 18, 2005 Full Review Hotel Rwanda (2004) 91% “May be the most important film released in the past year. Among the class of 2004, it is certainly one of the best.” – Dallas Observer Jan 15, 2005 Full Review Mean Creek (2004) 89% “Not only the chemistry among the kids but also the tensions and complexities in their relationships feel extraordinarily real.” – Dallas Observer Aug 28, 2004 Full Review Maria Full of Grace (2004) 97% “Although a work of fiction, the film evinces the power and grit of a documentary.” – Dallas Observer Jul 30, 2004 Full Review
