Just Go With It (2011) 19% C EDIT “Once again the hoary and apparently ineffable question comes up: Why won't Hollywood remake movies that actually need redoing?” – Dallas Morning News Feb 11, 2011 Full Review Step Brothers (2008) 54% B- EDIT “The engine that drives this flick is the chemistry between Mr. Reilly and Mr. Ferrell. The two obviously delight in each other's company, and it feels good and is funny to watch.” – Dallas Morning News Jul 25, 2008 Full Review Drillbit Taylor (2008) 26% B- EDIT “The jokes are funny, the acting is good (especially the three freshmen) and the film has an underlying sweetness that harkens back to 2004's Without a Paddle, which was also directed by Mr. Brill.” – Dallas Morning News Mar 21, 2008 Full Review Resident Evil: Extinction (2007) 24% C- EDIT “The palette is post-apocalyptic America, with generous squeezes of every cinematic pigment from The Omega Man to Mad Max to Night of the Living Dead. Really, the lack of flying saucers ultimately becomes quite amazing.” – Dallas Morning News Sep 21, 2007 Full Review Grindhouse (2007) 84% B- EDIT “Like the old drive-in speakers that you used to hang on your half-lowered car windows, it may not be the best way to experience the medium. But if your head's in the right place, it can be a heckuva lot of fun.” – Dallas Morning News Apr 9, 2007 Full Review Ghost Rider (2007) 28% B- EDIT “Neither contemptuous of its audience nor merely stupid, Ghost Rider's nonsensical histrionics are an almost perfect mirror of its comic-book source.” – Dallas Morning News Feb 16, 2007 Full Review The Hitcher (2007) 19% C EDIT “Ultimately, this is a bit of trash that will most comfortably line the cages of those who have no memory or attachment to the original. This in itself is an idea more terrifying than anything portrayed in The Hitcher.” – Dallas Morning News Jan 19, 2007 Full Review Volver (2006) 91% B+ EDIT “Volver qualifies as a must-see movie for the director's fans or for those who wish to admire one of the greatest living cinema artists.” – Denver Rocky Mountain News Dec 22, 2006 Full Review Hard Candy (2005) 67% B- EDIT “Hard Candy is the kind of movie that fairly demands coffee and discussion afterward.” – Dallas Morning News Apr 27, 2006 Full Review Scary Movie 4 (2006) 34% C EDIT “Like the gags, many of the cameos don't pack a whole lot of punch, but enough succeed so that the viewer leaves with a mildly favorable impression. Regrettably, this is probably more a function of human psychology than moviemaking skill.” – Dallas Morning News Apr 13, 2006 Full Review Slither (2006) 87% C- EDIT “Slither tries (too hard) to cop the tongue-in-cheek silliness that marks some of the best examples of the genre and ultimately collapses atop itself. It's no Humanoids From the Deep.” – Dallas Morning News Mar 31, 2006 Full Review Dave Chappelle's Block Party (2005) 93% A- EDIT “This is a concert film with real soul, message and emotion. Its coin is all too rare these days.” – Dallas Morning News Mar 2, 2006 Full Review Imagine Me & You (2005) 34% C EDIT “The characterizations are wooden, the interaction maudlin and the plot totally predictable.” – Dallas Morning News Feb 2, 2006 Full Review Underworld: Evolution (2006) 17% C- EDIT “... Underworld: Evolution registers visually but isn't alive enough to cast a reflection or shadow.” – Dallas Morning News Jan 20, 2006 Full Review Go for Zucker (2005) 54% B EDIT “Go for Zucker! cleaned up at this year's German film awards. But why should an American moviegoer see it? If you're looking for a reason, here's one: It might be the first funny German movie you've ever seen.” – Dallas Morning News Dec 8, 2005 Full Review Must Love Dogs (2005) 37% C+ EDIT “The latest installment in film's ongoing habit of hooking itself up, Iditarod-like, to man's best friend for a little uplift in the adorability department.” – Dallas Morning News Jul 28, 2005 Full Review Boogeyman (2005) 11% C- EDIT “With all the movies out there, this is the last one you should pick.” – Dallas Morning News Feb 4, 2005 Full Review Darkness (2002) 5% C- EDIT “Plot elements exist for their own sake, with little or no explanation or relationship to each other, leaving the story such a muddle that it's hard to tell if the actors are doing their jobs.” – Dallas Morning News Dec 30, 2004 Full Review Mind the Gap (2004) 56% C+ EDIT “The coincidences are almost all supremely transparent and the characters gratingly quirky, two faults that committed acting almost redeems. But not quite.” – Dallas Morning News Dec 16, 2004 Full Review Reagan: In the Face of Evil (2004) 13% C EDIT “A rousing sermon for the choir.” – Dallas Morning News Oct 12, 2004 Full Review Faster (2003) 53% B EDIT “A must-see for gearheads and rewarding for the uninitiated.” – Dallas Morning News Oct 7, 2004 Full Review Solarmax (2000) 63% A- EDIT “A highly entertaining and educational picture of something to which most of us never give a second thought.” – Dallas Morning News Sep 30, 2004 Full Review You'll Get Over It (2002) 67% B+ EDIT “You can see the emotions of the characters pass through the actors' faces and bodies. Mr. Baumgartner shines brightest, perhaps because his character is the most conflicted.” – Dallas Morning News Sep 30, 2004 Full Review Grand Champion (2002) 20% B- EDIT “Doesn't leave you wishing you could get your money back.” – Dallas Morning News Sep 23, 2004 Full Review Gold Diggers (2003) 0% D+ EDIT “A putative comedy that manages to degrade equally those on both sides of the screen.” – Dallas Morning News Sep 16, 2004 Full Review
