Plunkett & Macleane
Plunkett & Macleane, the first film from Jake Scott (son of Ridley), is a lush but troubled debut.
The Caretakers
Even for die-hard Joan Crawford fans, The Caretaker (aka Della) is hard to stomach.
The Grissom Gang
The Grissom Gang is a good afternoon's crime film.

To Ancient Troy (By Way of Denver)
Ancient Greece and modern Denver may seem an incongruous pairing, but in the new Greek epic Tantalus, produced by the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, they prove a striking fit, creating a work that's heroic.

Arts Reviews
The Bridge Burner
Aaron Brown can write, no doubt about that, but in his new play The Bridge Burner the Austin playwright has used his fine ear for dialogue, skills of characterization, and sense of outrage to cover familiar territory in the vein of dysfunctional family drama.
'Pio Pulido'
Brave enough to use symbols like the butterfly, the flower, the heart, the egg, and the dove, Austin artist Pio Pulido also proves in his new exhibition at the Dougherty Arts Center that he is wily enough to find new energies in these tired subjects.
One Flea Spare
Telling the story of unlikely roommates – a staunch middle-aged couple and two young stowaway servants – trapped in a house in 1665 London at the height of the plague, One Flea Spare is an altogether decent sex-and-death psychodrama, and the high caliber of this production an altogether auspicious beginning for School of Night Productions.
