My All American (2015) 30% B- EDIT “Is the film inspirational? Absolutely. Are its performances worthy? You bet.” – Dallas Morning News Nov 12, 2015 Full Review No Escape (2015) 47% B EDIT “A nearly two-hour thrill ride that, tired clich that it is, really does keep you on the edge of your seat.” – Dallas Morning News Aug 27, 2015 Full Review The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (2015) 68% C+ EDIT “It's got all the ingredients - improbable romances, partial nudity, ridiculous escapes - that make it little more than big-sound and big-picture fodder for the Imax screens it will appear on throughout the country.” – Dallas Morning News Aug 13, 2015 Full Review Woman in Gold (2015) 58% C EDIT “While the story is truly one of a kind, the film often feels like a TV movie of the week, even one of those treacly Hallmark productions.” – Dallas Morning News Apr 2, 2015 Full Review The Way, Way Back (2013) 83% A- EDIT “The Way, Way Back features seasoned actors Steve Carell, Toni Collette, Allison Janney and Amanda Peet, but they offer only support to a story that 16-year-old Canadian Liam James carries to the point of stealing.” – Dallas Morning News Jul 4, 2013 Full Review Safe Haven (2013) 13% C+ EDIT “It's as though the filmmakers lacked the confidence to stick with the basic story, which served every element needed in a Sparks-infused guilty pleasure.” – Dallas Morning News Feb 14, 2013 Full Review Nuremberg (1948) 96% A EDIT “Enter Sandra Schulberg, who has, with loving care and rare diligence, fully restored her father's film.” – Dallas Morning News Oct 27, 2011 Full Review The Debt (2010) 77% C- EDIT “Rather than focus on the evil of the Nazi villain, it wallows in the collective regret of three Israeli Mossad agents who in 1966 let the bad guy slip away when they had him in their clutches.” – Dallas Morning News Sep 1, 2011 Full Review Just Like Us (2010) 70% B+ EDIT “[A] funny, deeply affecting documentary.” – Dallas Morning News Jun 23, 2011 Full Review The Conspirator (2010) 56% A- EDIT “Robert Redford's riveting Conspirator examines the assassination of Abraham Lincoln by pursuing an unconventional path.” – Dallas Morning News Apr 14, 2011 Full Review The Blind Side (2009) 66% 4.5/5 EDIT “Upon seeing [Bullock's] Oscar-worthy performance is "finally!" followed quickly by, "Why the heck did it take so long?"” – Dallas Morning News Nov 20, 2009 Full Review Capitalism: A Love Story (2009) 74% 4.5/5 EDIT “In a movie long on symbols, dead peasants are the most egregious, but a close second would be the rah-rah "confidential" Citibank memo about the United States having become a "plutonomy."” – Dallas Morning News Oct 2, 2009 Full Review World's Greatest Dad (2009) 88% 4.5/5 EDIT “Who could have guessed that a cat named Bobcat could write a screenplay or direct a film as refreshingly sensitive as this one?” – Dallas Morning News Sep 4, 2009 Full Review New in Town (2009) 28% C- EDIT “It's meant to be a winsome romantic comedy, which might have been able to reach its destiny if it didn't have to chop its way through a thicket of stereotypes and bad jokes.” – Dallas Morning News Jan 30, 2009 Full Review The Reader (2008) 63% A EDIT “The Reader is a bold and provocative film and one of the most exquisite of 2008.” – Dallas Morning News Dec 30, 2008 Full Review The Express (2008) 63% A- EDIT “Davis is played winningly, without a single false note, by Rob Brown. His coach, the irascible but decent Ben Schwartzwalder, is brought home beautifully by Dennis Quaid, who has quietly become one of America's finest actors.” – Dallas Morning News Oct 10, 2008 Full Review The Zodiac (2005) 24% C- EDIT “Have the screenwriters ever studied the concept of arc, how characters evolve from opening to closing credits?” – Dallas Morning News Mar 17, 2006 Full Review
