The work of a fine craftsman and artist.
— Marjorie Baumgarten, AUSTIN CHRONICLE
 
Lone Stranger [4]
Writer/director Kimberly Peirce's retelling of girl/boy Brandon Teena's sad-but-true story, "Boys Don't Cry," takes a chance with romanticism and loses.
— Scott Heller, THE BOSTON PHOENIX
 
Crazy in Alabama [5]
Although sweet and sentimental, it is a jumbled mess.
— Steve Davis, AUSTIN CHRONICLE
 
Three to Tango [6]
A bland, occasionally engaging romantic comedy that's pure mediocrity.

Head On [7]
With a relentless, take-no-prisoners panache and pace, this film moves.
— Marc Savlov, AUSTIN CHRONICLE
 
The Stendahl Syndrome [8]
Nasty, brutal stuff, but also unlike anything else out there.
— Marc Savlov, AUSTIN CHRONICLE
 
Prize Fight [9]
As an intellectual macho homage to Ingmar Bergman, "Fight Club" can't be beat.
— James DiGiovanna, TUCSON WEEKLY

teven Soderbergh isn't resting on his laurels. His latest product is "The Limey," an icy, offbeat, but highly accessible crime drama with Terence Stamp and Peter Fonda.

"Boys Don't Cry" is a harrowing, yet often lyrical film about Teena Brandon, a confused teenager who spent a few reckless, glorious years pretending to be a boy, before being murdered by two young men she had befriended.

The tie-in book is not a new concept. What is new, though, is the novelization of adult dramatic series, which often yields escapist, genre fiction as opposed to fine literature.

Plus, reviews of the debut directing effort from Antonio Banderas, "Crazy in Alabama," the bland, romantic "Three to Tango," and many more!
