Review of Walking Tall (1973)

Review of Intermission (2003)

By Glenn Lovell (434) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 25 Mar 2004

There are some genuinely funny moments... There also are some genuinely horrifying ones. The problem is, they never really mesh…

Review of Crimson Gold (2003)

By Glenn Lovell (434) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 25 Mar 2004

A remarkable work, as much for its uncompromising view of a claustrophobic urban landscape as for its always-muted compassion…

Review of Spartan (2004)

By Glenn Lovell (434) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 11 Mar 2004

Review of Starsky & Hutch (2004)

By Bruce Newman (268) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 04 Mar 2004

Review of Hidalgo (2004)

By Bruce Newman (268) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 04 Mar 2004

Review of The Passion of the Christ (2004)

By Glenn Lovell (434) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 25 Feb 2004

The extreme violence does not teach a lesson; it's an end in itself, more suited to the S&M crowd than to anyone seeking an uplifting sermon…

Review of Against the Ropes (2004)

By Glenn Lovell (434) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 19 Feb 2004

Still Oscar-less, Ryan obviously sees Jackie as her blue-collar scrapper in the Brockovich-Norma Rae mold…

Review of The Butterfly Effect (2004)

By Bruce Newman (268) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 22 Jan 2004

For the record, The Butterfly Effect has absolutely nothing to do with butterflies, and its only obvious 'effect' is to make you want to take…

Review of Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003)

By Glenn Lovell (434) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 26 Dec 2003

This is one of those fit-for-framing productions that screams, 'Look at me! Look at me! Don't bother with what's beneath the surface…

Review of House of Sand and Fog (2003)

By Glenn Lovell (434) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 26 Dec 2003
