Temple Grandin (2010) 100% EDIT “Danes so completely immerses herself in her character that her performance becomes refreshingly free of actorly artifice.” – Austin American-Statesman Jul 29, 2020 Full Review Hotel Transylvania 2 (2015) 57% C+ EDIT “It is better than it needs to be, and families could do worse than booking a couple of hours to watch it.” – Austin American-Statesman Sep 24, 2015 Full Review Inside Out (2015) 98% B EDIT “A triumphant return to form for the animation studio.” – Austin American-Statesman Jun 18, 2015 Full Review Jurassic World (2015) 72% D+ EDIT “The park is bigger. The genetically modified dinosaurs are bigger. And the inevitable blockbuster's problems and disappointments are bigger, too.” – Austin American-Statesman Jun 11, 2015 Full Review Cinderella (2015) 84% C+ EDIT “Why does Cinderella seem extra-ordinary instead of extraordinary? Perhaps it's because we're so familiar with the story that this by-the-book, new version comes off as solid but not spectacular.” – Austin American-Statesman Mar 12, 2015 Full Review Paddington (2014) 96% EDIT “A delight from start to finish.” – Austin American-Statesman Jan 15, 2015 Full Review The Imitation Game (2014) 90% EDIT “A rousing, only slightly qualified success.” – Austin American-Statesman Dec 24, 2014 Full Review Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day (2014) 62% C+ EDIT “It's not awful, but it's hardly the "Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad" that we were promised.” – Austin American-Statesman Oct 9, 2014 Full Review The Boxtrolls (2014) 78% A- EDIT “The story, with its lessons of tolerance and truth to one's self, is not deep, but it is wonderfully told -- an obvious labor of love.” – Austin American-Statesman Sep 25, 2014 Full Review The Maze Runner (2014) 66% 3/5 EDIT “The maze is intriguing, the creatures are terrifying and the action scenes are of the "stuff whipping around and moving so fast it's hard to tell what's going on" variety. But, when the maze's mysteries are unlocked... it feels like a cheat.” – Austin American-Statesman Sep 18, 2014 Full Review How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014) 92% B EDIT “The visuals are often astounding. Believe me, I take no joy in recommending a 3-D viewing, but I can only see it adding to this experience.” – Austin American-Statesman Jun 13, 2014 Full Review Maleficent (2014) 54% B- EDIT “Jolie is fantastic, menacing at one moment and adding prankster-ish levity in the next, and Elle Fanning is fine as Aurora. The film has its share of logistical problems but, hey -- it's a fairy tale, right?” – Austin American-Statesman May 29, 2014 Full Review Veronica Mars (2014) 80% B EDIT “Scenes with wise-cracking, whip-smart Veronica and her loving father, investigator Keith Mars (a wonderful and thoroughly genuine Enrico Colantoni) are among the film's best.” – Austin American-Statesman Mar 13, 2014 Full Review Mr. Peabody & Sherman (2014) 81% B EDIT “Mr. Peabody would make some awful pun here about how the film is "doggone good."” – Austin American-Statesman Mar 6, 2014 Full Review Frozen (2013) 89% A- EDIT “The voice work is uniformly excellent. Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel are great as Anna and Elsa, and Jonathan Groff is charming as, surprise -- not a prince, but a mountain man.” – Austin American-Statesman Nov 26, 2013 Full Review Brave (2012) 78% C+ EDIT “You kinda wish Pixar would have taken some inspiration from the title of Brave, its newest animated feature, and pushed the envelope a bit.” – Austin American-Statesman Nov 18, 2013 Full Review Lee Daniels' The Butler (2013) 72% B- EDIT “It's a truncated history lesson, to be sure, but one that Lee Daniels' The Butler serves up fairly well.” – Austin American-Statesman Aug 16, 2013 Full Review Planes (2013) 26% C EDIT “It often looks cheap and dull, lacking the reflectivity and realism of the vehicles in the Cars series. As always, the 3-D doesn't help. It makes those often bright, sunny skies seem dull and dingy.” – Austin American-Statesman Aug 8, 2013 Full Review 2 Guns (2013) 64% B EDIT “If you're looking for some mindless escapism and can get past head-in-a-duffel-bag level violence, go ahead and pull the trigger on 2 Guns.” – Austin American-Statesman Aug 1, 2013 Full Review Turbo (2013) 68% C- EDIT “The film looks great (which is barely even worth mentioning in reviews of CGI movies anymore), but it has problems under the hood.” – Austin American-Statesman Jul 18, 2013 Full Review Despicable Me 2 (2013) 75% B EDIT “The animation is great, especially among the minions, whose every action seems to instigate a ripple effect that creates a chain of slapstick laughs.” – Austin American-Statesman Jul 2, 2013 Full Review Monsters University (2013) 80% B- EDIT “Monsters University is not a bad movie; your kids will love it.” – Austin American-Statesman Jun 20, 2013 Full Review Epic (2013) 65% B- EDIT “It's funny, exciting, beautiful to look at and, unfortunately, so very familiar and unsurprising.” – Austin American-Statesman May 23, 2013 Full Review The Great Gatsby (2013) 49% C+ EDIT “It almost seems as if the director is priming the pump for the inevitable Broadway musical.” – Austin American-Statesman May 9, 2013 Full Review Oz the Great and Powerful (2013) 56% B EDIT “Oz weaves compelling and believable back stories for many familiar characters and satisfyingly explains the origins of the fiery Oz head and the man behind the curtain.” – Austin American-Statesman Mar 7, 2013 Full Review
