Top Critics

Gary Dowell, Dallas Morning News

  1. Scream 4 2011 Though director Wes Craven and screenwriter Kevin Williamson don't quite generate the lightning-in-a-bottle energy that made their first Scream movie a hit, they manage to awaken a 15-year-old slasher franchise that has been dormant for a decade. full review
  2. Earthling 2010 With Earthling, local filmmaker Clay Liford delivers a pseudoscience-fiction drama short on detail but heavy on brooding atmosphere. full review
  3. Ned Kelly 2003 Fans of American Westerns will find plenty to like, so long as they can get their heads around the accents and the occasional wombat. full review
  4. Bloody Sunday 2002 The handheld camerawork and bleached-out color palette suggest something more akin to combat footage, and candid moments recorded on the sly give Bloody Sunday a chilling realism. full review
  5. Equilibrium 2002 What it lacks in originality it makes up for in intelligence and B-grade stylishness. full review
  6. Irreversible 2002 It's a gritty, vicious assault on the senses, one that very nearly evaporates due to writer-director Gaspar Noe's short-changing of the narrative. full review
  7. XX/XY 2002 Succeeds in generating emotional tension, even though it's lacking in pressure. full review
  8. The American Astronaut 2001 Movies don't get much more homemade or endearingly eccentric. full review
  9. Shaolin Soccer 2001 A quirky, lighthearted and pleasantly goofy Hong Kong comedy. full review
  10. Gojira 1954 It's less of a monster movie and more of a morality play about the dangers of nuclear experimentation. full review
