Flags of Our Fathers (2006) 76% 4/5 EDIT “Hayes, as portrayed movingly by Adam Beach, is the film's soul.” – Austin American-Statesman Nov 10, 2023 Full Review Go for Sisters (2013) 73% EDIT “Arthouse appeal is solid for a film that, though not nearly as commercial as Lone Star or endearing as Secret of Roan Inish, plays to the filmmaker’s strengths and makes good use of costar Edward James Olmos.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 12, 2023 Full Review In the Mood for Love (2000) 92% 3/4 EDIT “In the Mood for Love builds up an exquisite frustration that is hard to forget.” – Austin American-Statesman Jul 15, 2023 Full Review Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) 77% 3/5 EDIT “Though the filmmakers can't resist some 21st-century indulgences that don't really belong in the series' universe, [Skull] often lives up to the thrills moviegoers have come to expect, Pavlov-style, when they hear John Williams's virile theme.” – Austin American-Statesman Apr 12, 2023 Full Review Slumberland (2022) 40% EDIT “A genial adaptation that shouldn't be confused with the source material.” – The Hollywood Reporter Nov 11, 2022 Full Review Black Adam (2022) 39% EDIT “This passion project serves the character well, setting him up for adventures one hopes will be less predictable than this one.” – The Hollywood Reporter Oct 18, 2022 Full Review Dalíland (2022) 43% EDIT “Entertaining and genuinely eye-opening.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 20, 2022 Full Review Murmur (2022) EDIT “Click 'unsubscribe.'” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 16, 2022 Full Review The Black Guelph (2022) 90% EDIT “Effective and tightly woven.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 15, 2022 Full Review The City (2022) EDIT “A monotonous, empty exercise in style.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 15, 2022 Full Review All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) 90% EDIT “A skillfully made picture with a high tolerance for muck, it’s a visceral experience, albeit a less punishing one than some other modern war films...” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 15, 2022 Full Review Butcher's Crossing (2022) 72% EDIT “Though solidly made, it’s a Western without enough fire or novelty to attract a great deal of interest, though its two leads should keep it from getting lost in the crowd completely.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 15, 2022 Full Review Biosphere (2022) 80% EDIT “Post-apocalyptic survival meets the anxious buddy humor of Humpday in Biosphere, a mysterious and hilarious pic that really can’t be discussed much without saying things a prospective viewer would be better off not hearing.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 13, 2022 Full Review Sanctuary (2022) 88% EDIT “A twisty, surprisingly heartfelt battle of wills.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 13, 2022 Full Review Confess, Fletch (2022) 86% EDIT “In an agreeable way, Confess plays like the feature-length pilot for an ’80s TV detective series...” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 12, 2022 Full Review The Good Nurse (2022) 74% EDIT “A gripping but refreshingly unmanipulative true-crime tragedy.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 12, 2022 Full Review The Fabelmans (2022) 92% EDIT “Immediately joining the first ranks of artists’ memoirs, Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans is... a vivid capturing of the auteur’s earliest flashes of filmmaking insight and a portrait, full of love yet unclouded by nostalgia, of the family that made him.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 11, 2022 Full Review Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) 91% EDIT “This picture offers more action, more delicious comeuppances, more daring design and a few genuinely surprising cameos just for good measure.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 11, 2022 Full Review Bros (2022) 88% EDIT “Entertaining, but less original than it initially seems.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 10, 2022 Full Review Louis Armstrong's Black & Blues (2022) 98% EDIT “Jenkins is undaunted by the complexity of his subject, plunging ahead with swagger and not worrying if we have unanswered questions at the end.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 10, 2022 Full Review Bonnie (2022) EDIT “Though it entertains from start to finish, and explains Timmermann’s role in expanding the range of humanity that Hollywood puts on screen, it leaves us feeling we don’t know the woman herself, not one bit.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 9, 2022 Full Review Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2022) 85% EDIT “A funny, welcome reminder of a time before the internet and Marvel made being a nerd so ordinary.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 9, 2022 Full Review Pinocchio (2022) 27% EDIT “A well-intentioned work that largely falls flat, it arrives as just another widget in Disney’s “remake ’em all!” agenda, one whose pedigree offered the hope of something better.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 9, 2022 Full Review Clerks III (2022) 63% EDIT “If you haven't been on board for decades, steer clear.” – The Hollywood Reporter Sep 8, 2022 Full Review The Gray Man (2022) 46% EDIT “While the movie itself may prove nearly as unmemorable as its hero ostensibly wants to be, it’s anything but inconspicuous.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jul 14, 2022 Full Review
