The Last Ride (2012) 47% B EDIT “The Last Ride doesn't give us a complete picture of Hank Williams. But it does ably illustrate the final days of his life.” – Dallas Morning News Aug 23, 2012 Full Review Katy Perry: Part of Me (2012) 75% B EDIT “I gained respect for Perry, her work ethic and personal rediscovery.” – Dallas Morning News Jul 5, 2012 Full Review Joyful Noise (2012) 32% C+ EDIT “Joyful Noise works best when the screen is filled with music, or when stars Dolly Parton and Queen Latifah are slinging spirited one-liners at each other.” – Dallas Morning News Jan 12, 2012 Full Review Pure Country 2: The Gift (2010) 3/5 EDIT “There are, however, three strokes of genius. Bronson Pinchot, Michael McKean and Cheech Marin as the angels light up the screen. Their celestial banter is a joyful hoot to watch.” – Dallas Morning News Oct 15, 2010 Full Review Michael Jackson's This Is It (2009) 81% 4/5 EDIT “It's purpose isn't to reinvent Jackson, but to recapture some of the creative magic that made the kid from Indiana a worldwide musical ambassador.” – Dallas Morning News Oct 30, 2009 Full Review The Class (2008) 95% B+ EDIT “Never feels scripted, even with so much talking.” – Dallas Morning News Feb 20, 2009 Full Review Filth and Wisdom (2008) 24% B EDIT “For an artist who has spent so much of her career reinventing herself to lead pop culture, not to mention fatten her pocketbook, Madonna seems at her most sincere behind this camera. She coaxes genuine moments from the three principals.” – Dallas Morning News Oct 24, 2008 Full Review Surfer, Dude (2008) 0% D EDIT “Willie and ganja, yes, yes, the cliches abound.” – Dallas Morning News Sep 12, 2008 Full Review American Teen (2008) 69% B+ EDIT “American Teen is The Breakfast Club in real time.” – Dallas Morning News Aug 1, 2008 Full Review As It Is in Heaven (2004) 83% B+ EDIT “As It Is in Heaven works best as a thematic piece of art. It's a statement on the ugliness of humanity and the power of music to wound, but then heal.” – Dallas Morning News May 2, 2008 Full Review The Other Boleyn Girl (2008) 43% B+ EDIT “Ms. Johansson fills the screen in her usually quiet but piercing manner.” – Dallas Morning News Feb 29, 2008 Full Review Resurrecting the Champ (2007) 61% C+ EDIT “Despite generating plenty of turmoil, Resurrecting the Champ fails to be compelling. It does, however, succeed in being implausible.” – Dallas Morning News Aug 24, 2007 Full Review The Singer (2006) 24% C EDIT “Nothing gets explored at length, and some key points are glossed over altogether, namely Hctor's out-of-wedlock son and his frequent womanizing. Such factual details would demoralize Puchi. They are merely mentioned, then ignored.” – Dallas Morning News Aug 3, 2007 Full Review Rescue Dawn (2007) 90% B+ EDIT “Rescue Dawn avoids all the land mines inherent in most war movies. There's no hero worship; no noisy, confusing, special-effects-enhanced battle scene.” – Dallas Morning News Jul 13, 2007 Full Review Nancy Drew (2007) 50% B- EDIT “[Roberts is] a natural in front of the camera, so warm and cute you're instantly charmed. Nancy Drew works largely because of Ms. Roberts.” – Dallas Morning News Jun 15, 2007 Full Review The Night of the White Pants (2006) D EDIT “The film's attempts at humor fall flat.” – Dallas Morning News Apr 9, 2007 Full Review Venus (2006) 88% B EDIT “The film gives Mr. O'Toole all the space he needs to prove that his craft is still fresh and virile.” – Dallas Morning News Jan 26, 2007 Full Review Pan's Labyrinth (2006) 95% B+ EDIT “Pan's Labyrinth works on several levels. It boldly captures the horror of war, the bloody violence as well as the emotional stifling of the soul, and juxtaposes it with the enchantment of a nether land bathed in hope and eternity.” – Dallas Morning News Jan 12, 2007 Full Review Shut Up and Sing (2006) 89% B+ EDIT “What's most compelling about the movie are the film's revelations about the out-of-the-spotlight lives of Ms. Maines and fellow Chicks Emily Robison and Martie Maguire.” – Dallas Morning News Nov 9, 2006 Full Review Shortbus (2006) 69% B EDIT “It's more than a porno movie with a plot. The reality of the heart manages to always temper the allure of the flesh. Ultimately, Mr. Mitchell shows us that sex doesn't mean a whole lot without a deeper connection.” – Dallas Morning News Oct 13, 2006 Full Review Man of the Year (2006) 22% B+ EDIT “At a time when politicians are most in question, [director] Levinson feels no qualms about depicting the process as a hilarious and yet dangerous farce.” – Dallas Morning News Oct 13, 2006 Full Review Flyboys (2006) 34% C- EDIT “When Flyboys finally ends, a too-long 139 minutes later, there's a sense of emptiness, perhaps even disgust.” – Dallas Morning News Sep 22, 2006 Full Review Time to Leave (2005) 74% A- EDIT “A beautiful, frank and utterly absorbing examination of death.” – Dallas Morning News Sep 7, 2006 Full Review Broken Bridges (2006) 5% C+ EDIT “At every turn, Broken Bridges is filled with clichd predictability.” – Dallas Morning News Sep 7, 2006 Full Review Brothers of the Head (2005) 69% B EDIT “... the story of British conjoined twins turned underground punk-rock tragic figures can't be ignored, if not for the ingenious way of disguising truth, then for the unsettling presentation of human emotions.” – Dallas Morning News Aug 12, 2006 Full Review
