Review of Interstellar (2014)

By Michael Ordona (350) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 04 Nov 2014

Despite its many virtues, Interstellar feels as if it doesn’t quite hit the target…

Review of John Wick (2014)

By Michael Ordoña (350) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 22 Oct 2014

Reeves’ skills are on glorious display in John Wick, an expertly made revenge drama in which he goes all headshot on lots and lots of bad…

Review of The Best of Me (2014)

By Michael Ordoña (350) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 15 Oct 2014

The film is an improvement on previous Sparks moody-doomed-love opuses such as “The Last Song” and “Dear John.” If that is damning…

Review of The Book of Life (2014)

By Michael Ordona (350) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 15 Oct 2014

There are no great surprises, no shocking reveals (except to the characters themselves)…

Review of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day (2014)

By Michael Ordona (350) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 08 Oct 2014

But who cares what grumpy old grown-ups think? This reviewer watched with two movie-loving kids, and they did each laugh. Twice…

Review of The Reaping (2007)

By Michael Ordona (350) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 08 Oct 2014

The seeds of most Biblical horror movies are sown in the Book of Revelations; The Reaping at least gets marks for originality for springing…

Review of Left Behind (2014)

By Michael Ordoña (350) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 01 Oct 2014

That lack of concern for the way people actually interact renders the film useless as entertainment, or as a conversion tool…

Review of Frozen (2010)

By Michael Ordona (350) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 29 Sep 2014

It's difficult to get into its What would I do? vibe, though, through so thick and transparent a barrier of contrivances…

Review of The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Them (2014)

By Michael Ordoña (350) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 17 Sep 2014

It's an honest exploration of loss of the most devastating kind, an examination of how different people try to heal, if such a thing is possible…

Review of The Zero Theorem (2013)

By Michael Ordoña (350) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 17 Sep 2014

Zero is more of an intellectual exercise in which you’re never given all the variables to solve the problem — and then you find your calculator…

Review of God Help the Girl (2014)

By Michael Ordoña (350) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 10 Sep 2014

The fine cinematography by Giles Nuttgens (Hallam Foe, Dom Hemingway) infuses warmth and texture…

Review of Life of Crime (2013)

By Michael Ordoña (350) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 27 Aug 2014

Well-made and -acted, especially by Hawkes and Fisher, if it's not exactly gripping or noir-ish…

Review of Babylon A.D. (2008)

By Michael Ordona (350) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 21 Jun 2014

This is not a terrible movie, but it's too familiar by half and too confusing by a third…

Review of Mercy (2010)

By Michael Ordona (350) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 11 Jun 2014

A romantic drama with some good qualities -- among them earnestness and strong performances -- but not enough to completely overcome the strain…

Review of Shock to the System: A Donald Strachey Mystery (2006)

By Michael Ordoña (350) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 14 Apr 2014

So grimly determined to be even-handed that it never generates tension…

Review of Space Chimps (2008)

By Michael Ordona (350) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 08 Apr 2014

The film is suitable for all ages, but there's probably not enough fuel beyond cute chimps in Candyland to achieve orbit for the kids…

Review of El Cortez (2006)

By Michael Ordona (350) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 26 Nov 2013

Perhaps in an effort to root the film in the genre, the dialogue reaches for a particular hard-boiled register but grasps only clichés…

Review of Danielson: A Family Movie (or, Make a Joyful Noise Here) (2006)

By Michael Ordona (350) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 21 Sep 2013

Aronson's film is a fond portrait, loaded with bizarre, haunting music and Smith's off-kilter inspirations…

Review of Salinger (2013)

By Michael Ordoña (350) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 18 Sep 2013

Salinger does what so many documentaries and biopics either fail to do or decline to attempt; it speculates convincingly on the connective…

Review of Passengers (2008)

By Michael Ordona (350) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 27 Aug 2013

With these actors and Rodrigo García's sensitive direction, Passengers might have fared well as a short…
