Love & Basketball (2000) 86% EDIT “This is Prince-Bythewood's first feature film as both a writer and director, and she shows admirable command of her craft.” – Los Angeles Times Mar 9, 2022 Full Review Atonement (2007) 83% 3.5/4 EDIT “It is mindful art doubling as unapologetic entertainment, an ode to eros and errors assembled with vision and meticulous care.” – Houston Chronicle Dec 7, 2007 Full Review When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts (2006) 94% EDIT “Even more than Do the Right Thing, until now Lee's major achievement, When the Levees Broke is simultaneously his most searing and topical movie and the one most assured of enduring.” – Houston Chronicle Aug 22, 2006 Full Review The Man Who Wasn't There (2001) 81% A EDIT “Despite the movie's humor and sense of irony, it takes on a sense of somberness as it progresses.” – Houston Chronicle Jul 21, 2005 Full Review The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (2004) 57% EDIT “This take on undersea adventure movies, though studded with amusing bits, feels smug and self-satisfied, as if the quirkiness no longer is merely a by-product of the way Anderson views the world.” – Houston Chronicle Jul 21, 2005 Full Review Kissing Jessica Stein (2001) 83% B+ EDIT “Westfeldt and Juergensen are both appealing actresses.” – Houston Chronicle Jul 21, 2005 Full Review Dark Days (2000) 94% EDIT “The amazing thing about this documentary is how normal so many of the lives are, even though they are lived in extraordinary circumstances.” – Houston Chronicle Jul 21, 2005 Full Review George Washington (2000) 84% A- EDIT “It's possible to keep one's feet on the ground and still appreciate the film's quiet verbal and visual poetry.” – Houston Chronicle Jul 21, 2005 Full Review The Keeper: The Legend of Omar Khayyam (2005) 41% 3/4 EDIT “An accomplished first film that manages to comment on the current situation in the Middle East while dealing movingly -- and in very human terms -- with the importance of heritage and history in contemporary life.” – Houston Chronicle Jun 24, 2005 Full Review Batman Begins (2005) 85% 4/4 EDIT “Batman Begins is a remarkable movie. In making it, Nolan swept aside not only the other Batman films but the whole over-burdened shelf of previous super-hero flicks.” – Houston Chronicle Jun 15, 2005 Full Review Nina's Tragedies (2004) 61% 4/4 EDIT “A gently quirky, touching comedy from Israel about a young boy's infatuation with his aunt.” – Houston Chronicle Jun 10, 2005 Full Review Switchblade Romance (2003) 41% 2/4 EDIT “I can't say much, except that we've seen it too many times in the past, and each time half the audience feels cheated.” – Houston Chronicle Jun 10, 2005 Full Review Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) 60% 2/4 EDIT “A cute little romantic comedy buried under enough overblown action, gaudy firepower and special effects to fill a Jerry Bruckheimer picture.” – Houston Chronicle Jun 10, 2005 Full Review Layer Cake (2004) 81% 4/4 EDIT “A gangster film, despite what its title suggests, that ranks with the best of the genre.” – Houston Chronicle May 27, 2005 Full Review Chrystal (2004) 80% 3/4 EDIT “It's meandering and uneven, but much of it is powerfully effective and affecting.” – Houston Chronicle May 27, 2005 Full Review Right Now (2004) 70% 3/4 EDIT “[Isild Le Besco] has an unusual look and the ability to appear unformed, hard, vulnerable and sexy all at once.” – Houston Chronicle May 20, 2005 Full Review Don't Move (2004) 47% 3/4 EDIT “It has grand flourishes, bold strokes and a soundtrack that swells with emotional Italian and American rock, but it doesn't go over the edge of sentimentality. It's too hard-edged and its acting is too restrained and fine for that.” – Houston Chronicle May 20, 2005 Full Review Mindhunters (2004) 25% 2/4 EDIT “You'd think these agents' training would kick in, that they'd analyze the situation, deduce who is behind the killings and put a plan in place to stop it. You'd be wrong. They panic like ants after their hill has been stepped on.” – Houston Chronicle May 13, 2005 Full Review 3-Iron (2004) 87% 3/4 EDIT “Here is where things get murky, intriguingly so.” – Houston Chronicle May 13, 2005 Full Review Crash (2004) 73% 3/4 EDIT “An ambitious and often wonderful movie, an expansive look at urban life -- the fractious, noisy whole of it -- filled with witty, biting and insightful writing.” – Houston Chronicle May 6, 2005 Full Review Kingdom of Heaven (2005) 39% 3/4 EDIT “A $130 million epic with much to marvel at and great battle scenes, but it dazzles the senses while barely touching the heart.” – Houston Chronicle May 6, 2005 Full Review The Interpreter (2005) 57% 3/4 EDIT “An uncommonly well-crafted political thriller.” – Houston Chronicle Apr 22, 2005 Full Review Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (2005) 97% 3/4 EDIT “Alex Gibney's documentary based on the book is pretty much straight-ahead journalism” – Houston Chronicle Apr 22, 2005 Full Review The Aviator (2004) 86% EDIT “This undoubtedly is the movie Scorsese set out to make, and he made it exceedingly well. Still, we can fault him for choosing to celebrate its subject instead of examining him.” – Houston Chronicle Apr 21, 2005 Full Review Off the Map (2003) 70% 4/4 EDIT “[A] lovely film, which hardly ever makes a move that feels wrong.” – Houston Chronicle Apr 21, 2005 Full Review
