Lymelife (2008) 63% 3/4 EDIT “Rory Culkin does more than hold his own in this high-powered cast. He shows the angst of a teenage boy, but also the resilience. There is a sweetness to this film that keeps the darkness at bay.” – Houston Chronicle Apr 24, 2009 Full Review Goodbye Solo (2008) 93% 4/4 EDIT “The movie starts fast and the pace rarely relents. Goodbye Solo is almost frighteningly alive: Other filmmakers must wonder exactly how Ramin Bahrani packs so much personality in what could have been standard indie fare.” – San Francisco Chronicle Apr 17, 2009 Full Review Hunger (2008) 90% 4/4 EDIT “It's horrific. But Hunger displays uncommon intelligence and visual panache, transcending the goal of making the situation seem real. It feels more than real. It's art.” – San Francisco Chronicle Apr 3, 2009 Full Review Tokyo Sonata (2008) 94% 4/4 EDIT “Tokyo Sonata is a bit overwrought, especially in the final act, but it is beautifully shot, features moving performances by the well-chosen cast and has the unity of vision that is the hallmark of an auteur.” – San Francisco Chronicle Mar 27, 2009 Full Review Tokyo! (2008) 76% 3/4 EDIT “The overall project succeeds at offering three tantalizing films for the price of one movie ticket.” – San Francisco Chronicle Mar 20, 2009 Full Review Throw Down Your Heart (2008) 84% 3/4 EDIT “It's an entertaining journey, and director Sascha Paladino injects humor and pathos into the musical sequences.” – San Francisco Chronicle Mar 13, 2009 Full Review Absurdistan (2008) 83% 3/4 EDIT “Makes for a lovely hour and a half of old-fashioned storytelling.” – San Francisco Chronicle Feb 20, 2009 Full Review Under the Sea (2009) 94% 1/4 EDIT “Oceanic movies in actual science museums are far more interesting and nuanced than this documentary -- not to mention the wildly popular Planet Earth series, which even in 2-D looks better.” – San Francisco Chronicle Feb 13, 2009 Full Review Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009) 26% 1/4 EDIT “Could there be a worse time to revisit the indulgences of the '00s?” – San Francisco Chronicle Feb 13, 2009 Full Review Fanboys (2009) 33% 1/4 EDIT “Uninspired and only faintly funny.” – San Francisco Chronicle Feb 6, 2009 Full Review Yonkers Joe (2008) 52% 1/4 EDIT “Yonkers Joe is incoherent, succeeding neither as an exciting gambling ride nor a touching family story.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jan 16, 2009 Full Review Bride Wars (2009) 10% 2/4 EDIT “In these recessionary times, it's not just misogynistic to assume that intelligent women turn into feral dogs at the sight of a Tiffany gift box, but it's also beside the point.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jan 9, 2009 Full Review Antarctica (2008) 50% 3/4 EDIT “It's fun to see attractive people get together and fall apart.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jan 5, 2009 Full Review My Name Is Bruce (2007) 41% 1/4 EDIT “Light as air, My Name Is Bruce is good for a mild chuckle, not a belly laugh. As any Campbell fan knows, managing expectations is key to getting the most from his work.” – San Francisco Chronicle Dec 19, 2008 Full Review Were the World Mine (2008) 71% 3/4 EDIT “Were the World Mine follows the teen musical formula but renders its material with admirable lushness and intelligence.” – San Francisco Chronicle Nov 21, 2008 Full Review Let the Right One In (2008) 98% 3/4 EDIT “Let the Right One In strikes a surprising array of notes: scary, sad and hopeful.” – San Francisco Chronicle Nov 7, 2008 Full Review Loins of Punjab Presents (2007) 60% 1/4 EDIT “It's frightfully formulaic, with nary a twist or turn on the patented mockumentary form.” – San Francisco Chronicle Nov 7, 2008 Full Review Fear(s) of the Dark (2007) 72% 2/4 EDIT “Fear(s) of the Dark is a feast for the eyes, even if it doesn't always get the pulse racing.” – San Francisco Chronicle Oct 31, 2008 Full Review Frontrunners (2008) 85% 4/4 EDIT “The film sets just the right tone: with inventive music choices and wonderfully piquant moments plucked from what must have been hundreds of hours of footage, Frontrunners is consistently entertaining.” – San Francisco Chronicle Oct 24, 2008 Full Review Quid Pro Quo (2008) 60% 1/4 EDIT “Its biggest mystery is how it was financed (by Texas trillionaire and Dallas Maverick owner Mark Cuban, no less) and selected for distribution.” – San Francisco Chronicle Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Henry Poole Is Here (2008) 39% 2.5/4 EDIT “Although the ending is unsurprising, Henry Poole remains an interesting character.” – San Francisco Chronicle Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Ashes of Time Redux (2008) 79% 3/4 EDIT “Elliptical, sweeping, lovely and thoroughly confusing, Ashes of Time Redux is not a film to rent. It's well worth paying to see it on the big screen.” – San Francisco Chronicle Oct 17, 2008 Full Review Sex Drive (2008) 46% 2/4 EDIT “Some jokes work, some don't and, frankly, I can't remember either, but it leaves a sweet aftertaste. Slight, but sweet.” – San Francisco Chronicle Oct 17, 2008 Full Review A Thousand Years of Good Prayers (2007) 79% 3/4 EDIT “This modest and lovely film is a welcome reprieve after the explosion-filled slate of summer movies.” – San Francisco Chronicle Sep 26, 2008 Full Review Nights in Rodanthe (2008) 30% 2/4 EDIT “The film tastefully yet unenergetically chugs along.” – San Francisco Chronicle Sep 26, 2008 Full Review
