Review of The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure (2012)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 30 Aug 2012

The whole thing runs about an hour too long: It should have been a TV show. The adventure's too big for the kids who would love it the most…

Review of For a Good Time, Call... (2012)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 30 Aug 2012

In its way, the film is more concerned with the love between friends than the sex between strangers…

Review of Sleepwalk with Me (2012)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 29 Aug 2012

It all adds up to a fine, funny exercise in disheveled self-deprecation: a self-portrait of a guy who can't control a major portion of his…

Review of Astro Boy (2009)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 29 Aug 2012

Purists should have a field day enumerating the differences between the original Astro Boy and this high-gloss reimagining. Someone has to…

Review of Premium Rush (2012)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 22 Aug 2012

What makes this whole thing work is, first of all, Wilee's ride, an elegant machine that lacks any gears or brakes…

Review of Compliance (2012)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 22 Aug 2012

Some films are harder to watch than others - not because they're bad, which makes for a different sort of painful viewing, but because they…

Review of ParaNorman (2012)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 15 Aug 2012

As for Butler's screenplay, it's less beguiling than preachy…

Review of The Odd Life of Timothy Green (2012)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 14 Aug 2012

The kid is a charmer, the message is heartfelt - love your kids while you can - and, OK, the ending might jerk a few tears, even from a crank…

Review of The Campaign (2012)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 08 Aug 2012

The resultant spoofery is nonpartisan, or at least vague - we never learn which of these flesh-pressing idiots is the Republican and which…

Review of 360 (2012)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 08 Aug 2012

Much like its own characters, it dithers too much - and it dares too little…

Review of Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days (2012)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 01 Aug 2012

Real emotions get expressed. Real family harmony emerges…

Review of Red Lights (2012)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 01 Aug 2012

When its biggest trick is finally revealed, it is not entirely satisfying…

Review of Total Recall (2012)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 01 Aug 2012

For all of its dazzlingly rendered cityscapes and nonstop action, this revamped Total Recall is a bland thing - bloodless, airless, humorless,…

Review of The Queen of Versailles (2012)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 25 Jul 2012

Through a clear lens unclouded by politics or blame, it offers insight into the hazardous American practice of living beyond our means…

Review of Dark Horse (2012)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 18 Jul 2012

The combative, off-putting Dark Horse features many of writer-director Todd Solondz's usual preoccupations: misery, complexity, stunted emotions,…

Review of 30 Beats (2012)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 18 Jul 2012

That's all that happens: drift from one unrealized, uninteresting character to another…

Review of Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 11 Jul 2012

The less-good stuff: the pirates, who are so blandly and predictably drawn that they sap all the personality out of Peter Dinklage (as an ugly…

Review of Five Minutes of Heaven (2009)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 09 Jul 2012

An imperfect but intensely human movie that ponders the aftershock of violence, could have been an exercise in overacted sappiness…

Review of Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 04 Jul 2012

The film is its own beast, and it's a rare one…

Review of Savages (2012)

By Amy Biancolli (582) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 04 Jul 2012

So. What part of this is boring? All of it…
