Review of The Island President (2012)

By Walter Addiego (380) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 30 Mar 2012

A mostly compelling documentary about that rarest of breeds, an appealing politician…

Review of Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2011)

By Walter Addiego (380) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 24 Mar 2012

The image that finally lingers is one shown repeatedly: a close-up of fingers gently pressing a piece of fish onto a handheld oblong of rice,…

Review of Friends with Kids (2012)

By Walter Addiego (380) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 09 Mar 2012

Good chemistry between the lead actors and nice supporting performances help Friends With Kids survive a formulaic story and just-OK filmmaking…

Review of Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie (2012)

By Walter Addiego (380) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 02 Mar 2012

For Tim and Eric, what's funny is what's odd, ultra-cheap, pathetic or scurvy - and what's funniest of all is that some people just don't get it…

Review of Roadie (2012)

By Walter Addiego (380) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 23 Feb 2012

A lot of what takes place in Roadie feels overly familiar, and the film could have been a wallow in pathos except for the performances, especially…

Review of Thin Ice (2012)

By Walter Addiego (380) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 17 Feb 2012

With a handful of blackly humorous jolts and some game performances by a good cast, Thin Ice is a watchable, if not terribly original, piece…

Review of Hell and Back Again (2011)

By Walter Addiego (380) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 13 Feb 2012

The documentary Hell and Back Again may be the closest most civilians ever get to the reality of the war in Afghanistan…

Review of The Swell Season (2012)

By Walter Addiego (380) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 13 Feb 2012

There are some compelling performance moments, and it's sad to watch these talented and basically nice people drift apart…

Review of Scream 2 (1997)

By Walter Addiego (380) for San Francisco Examiner (1,621) on 08 Feb 2012

It's not as good as the original - which was fresher, funnier and scarier - but if it were, then by the criteria of the film's resident movie…

Review of The Pool (2007)

By Walter Addiego (380) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 05 Feb 2012

Except for Patekar, the main actors are nonprofessionals, which works nicely here…

Review of Meet Joe Black (1998)

By Walter Addiego (380) for San Francisco Examiner (1,621) on 03 Feb 2012

You feel the full weight of the movie's three hours, since the filmmakers only had 90 minutes' of plot…

Review of Miss Bala (2011)

By Walter Addiego (380) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 26 Jan 2012

Bala, by the way, means bullet…

Review of Addiction Incorporated (2011)

By Walter Addiego (380) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 19 Jan 2012

The film's subject, a whistle-blowing research scientist who played a key role in the fight to regulate tobacco, deserves to be celebrated…

Review of The Flowers of War (2011)

By Walter Addiego (380) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 22 Dec 2011

Affecting at times, but finally feels overblown and heavy-handed…

Review of CyberWorld (2000)

By Walter Addiego (380) for San Francisco Examiner (1,621) on 18 Dec 2011

Until the IMAX 3-D format is used to produce effects that are not trivial, it will never be anything more than what it is right now: a grandiose…

Review of Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey (2011)

By Walter Addiego (380) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 15 Dec 2011

A breezy account of a man whose obsession began early…

Review of The Woodmans (2011)

By Walter Addiego (380) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 17 Nov 2011

It's impossible to listen to Francesca's parents, deadly serious about art as a higher calling, without feeling both saddened and disturbed…

Review of El Bulli: Cooking in Progress (2011)

By Walter Addiego (380) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 10 Nov 2011

A fly-on-the-wall look at the inner workings of the famed Spanish palace of avant-garde gastronomy that closed its doors in July…

Review of Oka! (2011)

By Walter Addiego (380) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 26 Oct 2011

The plot is somewhat pedestrian and the dialogue needs more zip…

Review of Things We Lost in the Fire (2007)

By Walter Addiego (380) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 26 Oct 2011
