"This film manages the delicate feat of embracing its source material while also satirizing it," according to Lawrence Ware of the New York Times, while the Atlantic's David Sims said, "The latest entry in a fully saturated genre that somehow, through sheer creative gumption, does something new." It's screening at Movie Tavern Hulen (4920 S. Hulen Road), Regal Fossil Creek 11 (6100 N. Freeway), AMC Lake Worth 14 (6600 N.W. Loop 820th) and AMC Burleson 14 (301 W.

"The movie could easily be called 'How To End Your Trilogy,'" noted Johnny Oleksinski of the New York Post, while New York Magazine/Vulture's David Edelstein said, "For some, it'll be a moving conclusion to an epic series. For others, it'll be one less kids' franchise to worry about." Catch it on the big screen at AMC Palace 9 (220 E. Third St.) through Monday, March 4; Movie Tavern Hulen (4920 S. Hulen Road), AMC Eastchase 9 (8301 Ederville Road) and AMC Clearfork 8 (5015 Trailhead Bend Way) through Wednesday, March 6. Click here for showtimes and tickets. With a Tomatometer Score of 79 percent and an Audience Score of 93 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Green Book" is well worth a watch. The Atlantic's Christopher Orr said, "First-rate execution can't solve all of a film's problems, but Mortensen and Ali offer a reminder that it can solve an awful lot of them," and Time Out's Joshua Rothkopf said, "Call this actors' duet sentimental and simplistic at your own peril. 'Green Book' may well move you, possibly to tears, at the thought of real social change and kindness (at a time when we need it badly)." It's screening at AMC Palace 9 (220 E. Third St.) through Monday, March 4; Movie Tavern Hulen (4920 S. Hulen Road), Regal Fossil Creek 11 (6100 N. Freeway) and AMC Lake Worth 14 (6600 N.W. Loop 820th) through Wednesday, March 6.

Newsweek's David Ansen said, "'Moulin Rouge' seems to defy esthetic gravity: by reveling in all things artificial, it arrives, giddily, at the genuine," while Todd McCarthy of Variety said, "'Moulin Rouge' is a tour de force of artifice, a dazzling pastiche of musical and visual elements at the service of a blatantly artificial story." You can catch it at Movie Tavern Hulen (4920 S. Hulen Road) and Movie Tavern West 7th Street (2872 Crockett St.) through Wednesday, March 6. Click here for showtimes and tickets.
