Review of Law Abiding Citizen (2009)

By Marc Savlov (2,019) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 29 Apr 2015

Law Abiding Citizen, ultimately and inappropriately, tips the scales in favor of the Man over mankind. Somebody call Charles Bronson…

Review of Little Boy (2015)

By Steve Davis (486) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 28 Apr 2015

Review of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

By Marrit Ingman (203) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 26 Apr 2015

Qualitatively different from its cinematic forbears: It doesn't linger on the gothic curlicues of its source material, it moves straightforwardly…

Review of Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 (2015)

By Marc Savlov (2,019) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 22 Apr 2015

A far more profound and moving film about this particularly Aussie/Kiwi campaign (and one that will probably never be topped) is Peter Weir’s…

Review of Planetary (2015)

By Robert Faires (35) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 22 Apr 2015

Review of Thumbsucker (2005)

Review of Road to Juarez (2015)

By Josh Kupecki (255) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 21 Apr 2015
