Film Reviews
Around the World in 80 Days
Jackie Chan finally emerges as plausible English-language star in this international romp that's as light as a hot-air balloon.

The U.S. premiere of this self-reflexive horror film from England is presented in Austin by Fangoria magazine.

A long-absent father returns to his family in this prize-winning Russian drama, and for his two young sons the unexplained reason for his return is as mysterious as his absence.

'"Now and Tomorrow"'
The kid art in Creative Research Laboratory's "Now and Tomorrow" exhibit is more than notebook doodling; it's inventive, arresting self-expression
Know Dog
Kathryn Walat's Know Dog is a tale of loneliness and longing, but an authentic howl of desperation is missing from Salvage Vanguard Theater's world premiere
