Review of The Secret in Their Eyes (2009)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 29 Oct 2012

Review of Nobody Walks (2012)

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

Review of Fun Size (2012)

Review of The Sessions (2012)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 24 Oct 2012

The Sessions is moving. At times, it's even erotic, which is unexpected, to say the least…

Review of Chasing Mavericks (2012)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 24 Oct 2012

So at the very least, audiences will come away from Chasing Mavericks with a deeper understanding of surfing and an appreciation for surfers…

Review of The Mothman Prophecies (2002)

By Carla Meyer (580) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 24 Oct 2012

So restrained that viewers may start to yearn for a bogeyman to burst from the closet…

Review of Drag Me to Hell (2009)

By Amy Binacolli (7) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 22 Oct 2012

If you can stomach the projectile-sputum gags and stapled-eyelid attack scene, it's hilarious…

Review of Bel Borba Aqui (2012)

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

The film doesn't see any contradictions between the man and his work, which is folkloric, mostly upbeat, often humorous…

Review of Bel Borba Aqui (2012)

By Walter V. Addiego (363) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 18 Oct 2012

The film, by Burt Sun and Andre Costantini, is a celebration of the man and his work - for critical perspective, you'll have to look elsewhere…

Review of Wuthering Heights (2011)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 17 Oct 2012

Review of Middle of Nowhere (2012)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 17 Oct 2012

What makes Middle of Nowhere a break-even proposition, rather than something to avoid, is that it deals with an aspect of life and with characters…

Review of Fat Kid Rules The World (2012)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 17 Oct 2012

Review of Smashed (2012)
