Review of Mulholland Drive (2001)

By Mark Halverson (98) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 09 Oct 2002

Review of The Kid Stays in the Picture (2002)

By Mark Halverson (98) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 09 Oct 2002

A self-narrated, blatantly lop-sided, cocky, nonchalant, fascinating and juicily entertaining documentary…

Review of Ali (2001)

By Mark Halverson (98) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 09 Oct 2002

By Mark Halverson (98) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 09 Oct 2002

Review of Windtalkers (2002)

By Mark Halverson (98) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 09 Oct 2002

It resuscitates a neglected slice of World War II history (the use of Navajo tribesmen as secret-code radiomen) only to smother it with clichés…

Review of Sexy Beast (2001)

By Mark Halverson (98) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 09 Oct 2002

This profane British crime story is to be remembered more for its intoxicating visual vigor and one blowtorch performance than character arcs,…

Review of Secretary (2002)

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 07 Oct 2002

By turns mordantly funny, startling, and erotic, it's a spicy little cocktail surprise, with fine acting by Spader and a phenomenal breakthrough…

Review of Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002)

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 23 Sep 2002

Review of The Four Feathers (2002)

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 23 Sep 2002

Well-directed by Shekhar Kapur, who deftly finesses Mason's arch-colonialism without endorsing, denying, or putting a smug postmodern spin on it…

Review of The Good Girl (2002)

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 25 Aug 2002

Aniston is a revelation; she shows more range and depth here than in any of her previous films, and far more than she's ever shown on Friends…

Review of Who Is Cletis Tout? (2001)

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 18 Aug 2002
