Brick Lane (2007) |
Though some of the journeys lead to unhappy endings, Nazneen's story offers us a resolution as satisfying as any contemporary drama has given us this year. - Tulsa World

Unforgiven (1992) |
It's not a movie for kids, but it's a fine movie for any adult who doesn't mind thinking a little after the hot lead has flown. - Tulsa World

Mongol (2007) |
For its two-hour running time, Mongol makes you believe that you're in the company of the future Khan and his companions as they struggle to endure the callousness of the times and the savage environment. - Tulsa World

Frost/Nixon (2008) |
The film's success ultimately depends on the byplay between Sheen and Langella, and they're more than up to the task. Langella, in fact, may have just delivered a performance for the ages -- and how often do those come along? - Tulsa World

A Secret (2007) |
It's such a handsomely mounted and well-acted piece that few serious cinema-goers are likely to mind the circuitous path it takes in getting there. - Tulsa World

Jellyfish (2007) |
Lacking the minimal jellyfish connective tissue required by even a quasi-anthology like this, the movie as a whole just lies there like the limp wet invertebrate for which it's named. - Tulsa World

Ghost Town (2008) |
Based on the ad campaign, it would be easy to pigeonhole "Ghost Town" as another romantic comedy with a twist, but it's much more and much better than that. - Tulsa World

Baghead (2008) |
It's the movie's seeming lack of structure that keeps us off-guard, and that's what makes the whole messy enterprise so genially compelling. - Tulsa World

Death Race (2008) |
For those looking for mindless violent entertainment, it's just about good enough to fill the bill. But they did miss a bet by leaving out Sgt. Fury. - Tulsa World

Fantastic Four (2005) |
Aided by largely credible special effects, the four stars of Fantastic Four manage to make their movie worth seeing and give us reason to be optimistic for a more cohesive sequel. - Tulsa World

TMNT (2007) |
Kids will undoubtedly want to check out these new improved Turtles . . . and a lot of parents will probably be glad to have, uh, shelled out the extra bucks to relive their own childhoods alongside them. - Tulsa World

300 (2006) |
If you're in the mood for dumb, rousing, visceral excitement, you're not going to find anything on the big screen right now to rival it. - Tulsa World

Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters (2007) |
The Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie isn't going to be for most people, but those who were already converts will probably find it tasty enough to go back for seconds. - Tulsa World

Spider-Man 2 (2004) |
Emotionally deeper, better looking and twice as exciting as the blockbuster that kicked off the franchise two years ago, Spider-Man 2 just became the new gold standard for the current crop of super-hero movies. - Tulsa World

Catwoman (2004) |
Halle Berry is a lovely woman with charisma to burn and definite acting ability -- but even the best actors sometimes need to be told when they're making fools of themselves. - Tulsa World
