Review of The Last King of Scotland (2006)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for Houston Chronicle (970) on 12 Oct 2006

See the movie for Whitaker alone: He's possessed by evil and possesses it wholly, rendering the film (and everyone in it) his plaything…

Review of Employee of the Month (2006)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for Houston Chronicle (970) on 05 Oct 2006

Lest anyone mistake this for a Marxist tract, there are additional riffs on Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, fat people and the developmentally disabled…

Review of The Departed (2006)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for Houston Chronicle (970) on 05 Oct 2006

For all its bloodletting, The Departed is an intoxicating film…

Review of The Science of Sleep (2006)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for Houston Chronicle (970) on 28 Sep 2006

In the end, after your time with it, you'll recall it with a smile, remembering its childish wonderment and mischievous sense of humor…

Review of School for Scoundrels (2006)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for Houston Chronicle (970) on 28 Sep 2006

Nice guys and creeps make it to the finish line, though I won't say how they place. But I will divulge this: The movie's a loser…

Review of School for Scoundrels (1960)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for Houston Chronicle (970) on 28 Sep 2006

Nice guys and creeps make it to the finish line, though I won't say how they place. But I will divulge this: The movie's a loser…

Review of All the King's Men (2006)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for Houston Chronicle (970) on 21 Sep 2006

It's too full of itself; it's too convinced of its own value to be much of any to audiences…

Review of Flyboys (2006)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for Houston Chronicle (970) on 21 Sep 2006

This is spectacle in the grand old style, a bygone shot of adrenaline and grace…

Review of Factotum (2005)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for Houston Chronicle (970) on 14 Sep 2006

Dillon is better now that he's settled into sturdy middle age. He makes more sense; I never got him as a Tiger Beat centerfold…

Review of Half Nelson (2006)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for Houston Chronicle (970) on 14 Sep 2006

It'll be weeks before I shake off [Gosling's] performance -- or the shadows of this small, extraordinary narrative-feature debut from filmmaking…

Review of Gridiron Gang (2006)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for Houston Chronicle (970) on 14 Sep 2006

This lazy and episodic tacking (pep talk, game, pep talk, game) aggravated me because it sabotages the film's social relevance and honest-to-goodness…

Review of The War Tapes (2006)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for Houston Chronicle (970) on 14 Sep 2006

No matter what you think of the U.S. presence in Iraq, the film will disturb or startle or dismay you…

Review of Half Nelson (1985)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for Houston Chronicle (970) on 14 Sep 2006

It'll be weeks before I shake off [Gosling's] performance -- or the shadows of this small, extraordinary narrative-feature debut from filmmaking…

Review of The House of Sand (2005)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for Houston Chronicle (970) on 07 Sep 2006

Both Waddington and Soarez understand the impotence of words in this dusty setting, or the potency of just the right ones…

Review of Hollywoodland (2006)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for Houston Chronicle (970) on 07 Sep 2006

While it doesn't innovate, it does surprise…

Review of Trust the Man (2005)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for Houston Chronicle (970) on 31 Aug 2006

I wish the film were true to itself and its quartet of puzzled, struggling lovers; their collapse into sitcom idiocy felt uncomfortably close…

Review of Idlewild (2006)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for Houston Chronicle (970) on 24 Aug 2006

OutKast's much-ballyhooed Prohibition-era musical is a dense, confusing jumble of old-school and new-school, gangster and gangsta, that never…

Review of Invincible (2006)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for Houston Chronicle (970) on 24 Aug 2006

As much as I wanted to root for Invincible, its protagonist comes across as neither ebullient nor vivacious…

Review of Accepted (2006)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for Houston Chronicle (970) on 17 Aug 2006

Too much of the plot is eaten up with clichéd assaults on a stodgy mainstream college and its pretty, gel-afflicted frat boys, who care waaayyy…

Review of World Trade Center (2006)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for Houston Chronicle (970) on 08 Aug 2006

It displays optimism, patriotism, emotional frankness and faith. Detractors might call it sentimental…
