Chris says: “As a follow-up to TAKE SHELTER, a film with shifting ambiguities and an awesome performance from Michael Shannon, Jeff Nichol’s MUD can’t help but almost feel a bit of a letdown. The titular figure, an on-the-run hobo of

Rating: 4 cats
Director: Jean-Marc Vallée
Starring: Denis O'Hare | Jaerd Leto | Jennifer Garner | Kevin Rankin | Matthew McConaughey | Steve Zahn
Chris says: “On paper, this scans as a calculated attempt by Matthew McConaughey to complete his multi-film rehabilitation from rom-com leading man joke to well-respected, award-winning Actor. However, from the instant you see him startlingly emaciated as Ron Woodruff, you

Rating: 3 cats
Director: Richard Linklater
Starring: Grant James | Jack Black | Matthew McConaughey | Rick Dial | Shirley MacLaine
Chris says: “This ripped-from-the-headlines tale of a meek funeral director who murders a wealthy, irascible widow is meant to play like ‘Midnight in the garden of small town east Texas’. While Austinite Richard Linklater is the right director for the
