Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
83% A Short Film About Killing (1988) " One of the most horrific films you're likely to see -- and one of the most oddly didactic." — San Francisco Examiner
Posted May 29, 2004
30% Village of the Damned (1995) " Needless and undeveloped subplots dissipate the clean suspense of the original, and the exponential increase in violence and gore cannot conceal this." — San Francisco Examiner
Posted Jan 1, 2000
44% Volcano (1997) " A flatulent blast of superheated air from the seething bowels of Hollywood..." — Salon.com
Posted Jan 1, 2000
96% Chungking Express (1996) " A frenetic one-way ride through The Land of Vaporous Plot, with stops along the way at Irritatingly Cute Extended Metaphor City." — Salon.com
Posted Jan 1, 2000
23% A Thousand Acres (1997) " Ploddingly literal, A Thousand Acres is basically a star vehicle that relies on superior acting to redeem it. It does have superior acting, but that's not nearly enough." — Salon.com
Posted Jan 1, 2000
1/4 46% The Basketball Diaries (1995) " The film's complete refusal to explore anything beyond Jim's collapse and redemption is both sentimental and finally uninteresting." — San Francisco Examiner
Posted Jan 1, 2000
71% Beavis and Butt-Head Do America (1996) " Mostly, we get dumb formula, not quite ironic and self-mocking enough to be hip." — Salon.com
Posted Jan 1, 2000
100% A Short Film About Love (1988) " Overall, Kieslowski has crafted a compelling portrait of love, that weed that forces its strange way through life's hardest cement." — San Francisco Examiner
Posted Aug 7, 2004
43% Bad Boys (1995) " A pretty amusing shoot'em-up." — San Francisco Examiner
Posted Jan 1, 2000
98% Lawrence of Arabia (1962) " This is that rare film whose weaknesses are not only swallowed up by its vast, disturbing ambition, but somehow become part of its strengths." — Salon.com
Posted Jan 1, 2000
3/4 87% Crimson Tide (1995) " It's too slick to be truly disturbing, but it's that slickness that keeps you on the edge of your chair." — San Francisco Examiner
Posted Jan 1, 2000
80% He Got Game (1998) " He Got Game is a little too sappy to be a great movie, but it puts the ball in the hole." — Salon.com
Posted Jan 1, 2000
93% Saving Private Ryan (1998) " Using the overpowering techniques of modern film, Steven Spielberg has cut through the glory-tinged gauze that shrouds World War II to reveal its brutal reality, creating a phenomenology of violence unsurpassed in the history of cinema." — Salon.com
Posted Jan 1, 2000
83% The English Patient (1996) " The English Patient, the superb new film by Anthony Minghella, is that rarest of things: a film based on a great contemporary novel." — Salon.com
Posted Jan 1, 2000
3/4 97% A Little Princess (1995) " A Little Princess is a delightful film. Bring your children, or just bring yourself." — San Francisco Examiner
Posted Jan 1, 2000
59% Prefontaine (1997) " Even through Prefontaine's obviousness, we feel its force." — Salon.com
Posted Jan 1, 2000
4/5 60% The Edge (1997) " ...a solid man-against-nature tale..." — Salon.com
