By Marjorie Baumgarten (1,950) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 04 Jun 2019

Review of Godzilla, King of the Monsters! (1956)

By Marc Savlov (2,019) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 29 May 2019

Review of Ma (2019)

By Matthew Monagle (156) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 28 May 2019

There are times when Spencer’s character feels less subversive and more like a gonzo Annie Wilkes from Misery; it’s clear that the filmmakers…

Review of The Souvenir (2019)

By Richard Whittaker (567) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 28 May 2019

That Swinton Byrne's performance is so open, so immediate, so caught up in emotional truths rather than performative beats, makes this one…

Review of Ghost in the Machine (1993)

By Marc Savlov (2,019) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 25 May 2019

With token computer graphics thrown in to pad an already overlong script, Ghost In the Machine gamely tries to hop aboard the Virtual Reality…

Review of Brightburn (2019)

By Richard Whittaker (567) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 23 May 2019

It may be an elevator pitch stretched to 90 minutes, and never aspires to more than that, but it's a fine and distinct funhouse ride designed…

Review of Walking on Water (2019)

Review of Running with Beto (2019)

By Richard Whittaker (567) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 22 May 2019

Review of Aladdin (2019)

By Matthew Monagle (156) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 21 May 2019

As much as the original Genie was an extension of Robin Williams' onstage persona, so does Smith’s Genie springboard off two decades of action-comedies…

Review of Photograph (2019)

By Marjorie Baumgarten (1,950) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 21 May 2019

Lacking a typically vivid color palette and bright song & dance routines, Photograph is almost the antithesis of a Bollywood epic…

Review of John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019)

By Marc Savlov (2,019) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 14 May 2019

By Kimberley Jones (866) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 14 May 2019
