Spider-Man (2002) 90% 3/5 EDIT “The movie counts as a modest success simply because it remains largely true to its roots, and the story that Lee and Ditko develop has a human side to it that's as strong -- if not stronger -- than its superhuman side. ” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Boogie Nights (1997) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Boogie Nights doesn't just wink and invite you into its '70s world of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll -- it grabs you by the wide lapels and hauls you over the threshold.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Sep 24, 2025 Full Review This Is Spinal Tap (1984) 98% 4/5 EDIT “The movie as a whole is so brief that it never wears out its welcome.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Jurassic Park III (2001) 49% 2.5/5 EDIT “For all its jolts, Jurassic Park III is cinematic comfort food. ” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Jun 25, 2025 Full Review Dirty Work (1998) 21% 1.5/5 EDIT “It's all so pointless, it makes you shrug more than it makes you laugh.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com May 14, 2025 Full Review Scream 2 (1997) 83% 4/5 EDIT “It's the rare sequel that deserves to outdo its predecessor, extending the story rather than rehashing it. ” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Flubber (1997) 24% 2/5 EDIT “Replaces the original's audience-pleasing sweetness with an audiences-are-suckers cynicism. ” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Alien Resurrection (1997) 56% 3/5 EDIT “It's a wonderful change of pace for Weaver, who gives the movie much of its spunk. The same can't be said for Ryder. ” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Amélie (2001) 90% 4/5 EDIT “In his latest. Amelie, Jeunet steers his talents toward romantic dreams, delivering a crowd-pleasing comedy-fantasy with a puckish side.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Feb 13, 2024 Full Review Smoke Signals (1998) 90% 3.5/5 EDIT “Although it's well-made, funny and poignant, it's hardly Earth-shattering; it comes down to a story of father-and-son conflict with some elements of road movies and buddy movies thrown in.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Nov 8, 2023 Full Review Atanarjuat the Fast Runner (2001) 93% 3.5/4 EDIT “If anything, it should accomplish its mission of making people curious about this rarely filmed culture. ” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Nov 8, 2023 Full Review 10 Things I Hate About You (1999) 72% 3.5/5 EDIT “Who knew that Shakespeare dude could be so entertaining? References to him abound in this messy but enjoyable movie right down to the use of a remake of Nick Lowe's "Cruel to Be Kind." But you don't have to be a fan of the Bard to like this affable film.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Jul 12, 2023 Full Review Magnolia (1999) 82% 3/5 EDIT “In its radically flawed, aggravating way, Magnolia is something of a miracle itself” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Jun 30, 2023 Full Review Wild Things (1998) 65% 3.5/5 EDIT “The entire cast is up to the task, and McNaughton plays them, and the audience, like a piano. He even turns the film's flaws into advantages, making them seem like part of the joke. ” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Feb 2, 2023 Full Review Eve's Bayou (1997) 83% 3/5 EDIT “A good movie that could've been great. ” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Jan 9, 2023 Full Review L.A. Confidential (1997) 99% EDIT “For all the powerhouse acting, this is Hanson's show.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Oct 19, 2021 Full Review Wild (2014) 88% 4/5 EDIT “What the book communicates better than the movie is just how grueling the Pacific Coast Trail can be...But that's only a quibble. Like the book, the movie inspires wanderlust, whether the quest is for your body or your psyche.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Dec 11, 2014 Full Review Killing Kennedy (2013) 56% EDIT “The least-well-known of the movie's four principal actors, he's [Will Rothhaar] the least weighed down by his own familiarity, and he gives an empathetic but intense portrayal of the increasingly obsessive Oswald.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Nov 12, 2013 Full Review Argo (2012) 96% EDIT “With Affleck's continued growth as a director, it makes you want to see what he will deliver next.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Oct 31, 2012 Full Review Freddy Got Fingered (2001) 12% EDIT “Doesn't resonate the way a good slob-comedy should.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Apr 23, 2001 Full Review Here on Earth (2000) 18% EDIT “Despite its schmaltziness, it can reach the tormented teen-ager in you.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Timecode (2000) 69% EDIT “Time Code might be the year's most pretentious movie, but it's also the most fascinating and audacious.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Arlington Road (1999) 62% EDIT “Cusack is especially good here, in the movie's most deceptively subtle performance.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Love Stinks (1999) 19% EDIT “Wilson's performance consists of spouting demeaning dialog.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas (2000) 25% EDIT “Plays like an episode or two of the TV show, stretched out to fill an hour and a half or so.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review
