4/4 96% BirdWatchers - La terra degli uomini rossi (2008) " Momentarily, it feels as if the Guarani could win this fight and maybe give it to globalization on the shins." — San Francisco Chronicle
Posted Oct 16, 2009
1/4 21% I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell (2009) " I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell is the perfect cautionary tale for any frat boy who considers making a film based on the phrase, "Dude, remember that one time?"" — San Francisco Chronicle
Posted Sep 25, 2009
3/4 84% Under Our Skin (2008) " We may not get to argue both sides of the debate, but Under Our Skin stirs the deepest emotions and reveals the most unsettling truth: We're all vulnerable to a tick bite, sure, but it's the health care system that really gets us in the end." — San Francisco Chronicle
Posted Sep 18, 2009
2.5/4 74% Cold Souls (2009) " Giamatti stammers and futzes and self-loathes with the best of 'em, and his endearing persona and droopy-dog face can move the film along even when the narrative can't." — Houston Chronicle
Posted Sep 4, 2009
2/4 74% Cold Souls (2009) " It's a simple query, and a fun one to explore, yet only a temporarily compelling conflict for a feature-length film." — San Francisco Chronicle
Posted Aug 14, 2009
3/4 84% Earth Days (2009) San Francisco Chronicle
Posted Aug 14, 2009
3/4 85% Tony Manero (2009) San Francisco Chronicle
Posted Jul 3, 2009
4/4 48% Terra (Battle For Terra) (2009) " The creators of the 3-D animation film Battle for Terra have developed such an entirely new world inside the movie theater, it's hard not to think they just pushed the film-viewing experience forward 10 years." — San Francisco Chronicle
Posted May 1, 2009
2/4 87% Earth (Disneynature's Earth) (Planet Earth) (2009) " For adults, Earth misses the mark of riveting storytelling. Earth crams in the dramatic adventures of several species (including penguins) -- with the result that it comes up short on telling one really good story." — San Francisco Chronicle
Posted Apr 24, 2009
1/4 43% Race to Witch Mountain (2009) " Wow, when Disney misses the 'reimagining' mark, it really misses." — San Francisco Chronicle
Posted Mar 13, 2009
3/4 93% Aanrijding in Moscou (Moscow, Belgium) (2008) " Few films tackle the question of whether a man with a history of domestic violence can learn to love again -- and fewer still do it in a subtly comedic and charming way." — San Francisco Chronicle
Posted Feb 27, 2009
2/4 51% Notorious (2009) " It must have been an act of great restraint for Sean Combs to resist titling this film, about Chris Wallace, his close friend turned rapper and cultural icon, The Notorious B.I.G. -- The Sean Combs Story." — San Francisco Chronicle
Posted Jan 16, 2009
2.5/4 33% Not Easily Broken (2009) " Like some marriages, it has its flaws, but perhaps it's the good stuff that's worth focusing on." — San Francisco Chronicle
Posted Jan 9, 2009
2/4 44% Noah's Arc: Jumping the Broom (2008) " It's tempting to slight the effort as My Big Fat Gay Wedding, since the screenwriters follow a familiar template." — San Francisco Chronicle
Posted Dec 5, 2008
2/4 60% Arctic Tale (2007) " Despite the storytelling faults, Ravetch and Robertson offer remarkable footage from the evaporating Arctic." — San Francisco Chronicle
Posted Aug 3, 2007
3/4 86% Steel City (2007) " In writer and director Brian Jun's film, the story isn't set up so neatly, and, at first, the ambiguity builds tension." — San Francisco Chronicle
