The Goddess (1934) 100% EDIT “This exercise in social realism can be slow and requires concentration, but The Goddess provides a first- hand look at a remarkable performance by Ruan.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jan 29, 2014 Full Review The Best Man (1999) 71% 2.5/4 EDIT “The glossy ensemble cast is consistently interesting.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jun 18, 2002 Full Review Bowfinger (1999) 83% 3/4 EDIT “Martin the writer plants some wicked barbs in Hollywood's rear end about creative financing of movies and hoarding of profits, the art of the deal, hipper-than-thou attitudes and exploitation.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jun 18, 2002 Full Review The Cider House Rules (1999) 72% 3/4 EDIT “[It] is a fable that turns into a 1940s New England variation on Charles Dickens. It is also one dickens of an American movie.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jun 18, 2002 Full Review The Mummy (1999) 63% 4/4 EDIT “It takes a while, but there finally is a signature shot from Karloff's original, of the Mummy's hand reaching up through the desert sand. It's like seeing an old friend.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jun 18, 2002 Full Review Snake Eyes (1998) 42% 1/4 EDIT “What might have been fascinating after a while becomes frustrating and, finally, a real slog.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jun 18, 2002 Full Review Shanghai Noon (2000) 80% 3/4 EDIT “This is almost Mel Brooks territory: The frontiersmen think the Chinese are Jews, while the white settlers think it's the Sioux who are. This is equal-opportunity nuttiness, and there's a method to it.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jun 18, 2002 Full Review Rush Hour (1998) 62% 3/4 EDIT “Rush Hour is a righteous title for an action comedy, and that's only the beginning.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jun 18, 2002 Full Review I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998) 10% 1/4 EDIT “When Bad Things Happen to Stupid People might have been a better title.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jun 18, 2002 Full Review Gods and Monsters (1998) 96% 4/4 EDIT “” – San Francisco Chronicle Jun 18, 2002 Full Review Arlington Road (1999) 62% 3/4 EDIT “” – San Francisco Chronicle Jun 18, 2002 Full Review Topsy-Turvy (1999) 90% 4/4 EDIT “The film is a delight and a surprise, all the more so since Leigh is associated with gritty working-class stories.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jun 18, 2002 Full Review Fight Club (1999) 81% 4/4 EDIT “Delivers a sucker punch to the audience and then pulls the rug out from under it. It is sensational.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jun 18, 2002 Full Review Trick (1999) 76% 3/4 EDIT “” – San Francisco Chronicle Jun 18, 2002 Full Review Mystery Men (1999) 59% 4/4 EDIT “This bunch achieves peaks of sublime nuttiness.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jun 18, 2002 Full Review Big Momma's House (2000) 31% 3/4 EDIT “” – San Francisco Chronicle Jun 18, 2002 Full Review Cruel Intentions (1999) 54% 2/4 EDIT “It is maliciously entertaining, up to a point.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jun 18, 2002 Full Review Wild Wild West (1999) 16% 3/4 EDIT “The ace in the hole in Wild Wild West is Shakespearean Kenneth Branagh as the villain, Loveless.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jun 18, 2002 Full Review The Mod Squad (1999) 3% 2/4 EDIT “Plays like a 90-minute version of the old television show. That's not necessarily bad.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jun 18, 2002 Full Review Romeo Must Die (2000) 33% 2/4 EDIT “Straight-ahead action would have been more than sufficient.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jun 18, 2002 Full Review Eyes Wide Shut (1999) 76% 3/4 EDIT “Well, I'll be damned. A sex movie this summer for grown-ups.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jun 18, 2002 Full Review The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) 85% 4/4 EDIT “If anybody can create sympathy for the devil, the angelic Matt Damon can.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jun 18, 2002 Full Review The X-Files (1998) 66% 3/4 EDIT “David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are enormously sympathetic heroes.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jun 18, 2002 Full Review The Thomas Crown Affair (1999) 69% 3/4 EDIT “” – San Francisco Chronicle Jun 18, 2002 Full Review Chop Suey (2001) 70% EDIT “Anybody who expects this film to be nothing more than the equivalent of flipping through the advertisements in a slick magazine is in for a surprise.” – San Francisco Chronicle Feb 8, 2002 Full Review
