—	——	Mary Jane's Not a Virgin Anymore (1997)	— San Francisco Chronicle Posted Apr 4, 2011
3/5	——	Chalk ()	" Chalk has unusual visual vitality in a John Cassavetes vein. For the adventurous, it's worth checking out." — San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jan 13, 2007

3/4	32%	Sgt. Bilko (1996)	" Wacky is just the right tone for a spring comedy." — San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
—	19%	Bye Bye Love (1994)	— San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
1/4	67%	Cobb (1994)	" This histrionic portrait of the most celebrated cur in sports history comes across like a fly ball that thuds on the ground." — San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
3/4	14%	The Scarlet Letter (1995)	" This is a well-acted, beautiful movie." — San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
—	71%	A Month by the Lake (1995)	— San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
2/4	32%	The Waterboy (1998)	" We've got somewhat entertaining trash here." — San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
4/4	54%	Why Do Fools Fall In Love (1998)	" A fresh, enlightening example of how to take a tragic American show-business story and make it funny, warm and terrifically entertaining." — San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
—	20%	D3: The Mighty Ducks (1996)	— San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
	68%	Kiss of Death (1995)	" A riveting crime drama." — San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
—	31%	Operation Dumbo Drop (1995)	— San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
3/4	78%	Muriel's Wedding (1995)	" There's poignant drama in this brash, sometimes overstated film, and Muriel's transformation is truly touching." — San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
3/4	39%	101 Dalmatians (1996)	— San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
3/4	44%	Oliver & Company (1988)	" The film offers a fanciful, lush urban setting, unusual for Disney animated features, and a couple of good songs." — San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
3/4	56%	Star Trek - Insurrection (1998)	" Fun for most folks, heaven for Trekkers." — San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
2/4	35%	Space Jam (1996)	" It's the first time either Jordan or Bugs has had a starring role on the big screen. It's gimmicky Saturday-morning cartoon wackiness in your face -- funny, but brain-deadening." — San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
3/4	79%	Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)	" Though it looks almost too polished, a handful of eye-smacking action scenes were breakthroughs in precomputer cinematic graphics. And when the film moves, it does so with blazing energy and awesome noise." — San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
—	15%	Moonlight and Valentino (1995)	— San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
4/4	98%	Babe (1995)	" A lovely, intelligent gem of G-rated entertainment that is also rib-tickling funny." — San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
3/4	80%	Soul Food (1997)	" A warm, funny, touching African American family drama, the kind of bittersweet melodrama that critics tend to relegate as crowd-pleasing corn. We could use more when it's this well done." — San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
2/4	45%	Dead Presidents (1995)	" It's an overly ambitious effort that strains to work as a coming-of-age drama, a 1960s period piece and a searing comment on the way African American GIs went largely unappreciated for their war efforts." — San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
3/4	46%	Ghosts of Mississippi (1997)	— San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
—	31%	Mulholland Falls (1996)	— San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
3/4	58%	The Englishman Who Went up a Hill But Came Down A Mountain (1995)	— San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
—	55%	Extreme Measures (1996)	— San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
4/4	92%	A Bug's Life (1998)	" One of the great movies -- a triumph of storytelling and character development, and a whole new ballgame for computer animation." — San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
3/4	85%	Fly Away Home (1996)	— San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
4/4	93%	James and the Giant Peach (1996)	" James and the Giant Peach is frequently so alluring that viewers may feel the urge to get lost in the picture's curious shadings, intricate merriment and fantastical atmosphere." — San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
2/4	26%	Mary Reilly (1996)	" The film is too mannered, too stuffy." — San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
1/4	12%	Diabolique (1996)	— San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
1/4	50%	Zeus and Roxanne (1997)	— San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
3/4	91%	The Brothers McMullen (1995)	— San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
—	7%	Faithful (1996)	— San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
—	50%	Jumanji (1995)	— San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
3/4	60%	The Preacher's Wife (1996)	" The Preacher's Wife qualifies as old-fashioned Hollywood movie making at its corniest and most saccharine. But the mostly African American cast puts an engaging spin on the chestnut, and it works beautifully." — San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
2/4	69%	Restoration (1996)	" The movie takes on a somber, fitful atmosphere of straining epic proportions. But it strays into an episodic bog that leaves it gasping for dramatic life." — San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
2/4	54%	Girl, Interrupted (1999)	" A muddled production that misses the jarring tone of the autobiographical book by Susanna Kaysen on which it is based. The film is entertaining, but not very powerful." — San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
3/4	74%	The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)	" Gorgeous but dark -- not the usual Disney experience." — San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
3/4	80%	He Got Game (1998)	" Washington's Jake Shuttlesworth looks tough and hard, an odd but refreshing turn for an actor long associated with handsomely heroic roles." — San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
4/4	83%	Waking Ned Devine (1998)	" There is some nudity in Ned Devine, but it's the funniest nudity in movies in ages." — San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
3/4	53%	Escape from L.A. (1996)	" Dark, percussive and perversely fun." — San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 18, 2002
