A Short Film About Love (1988) 95% EDIT “Overall, Kieslowski has crafted a compelling portrait of love, that weed that forces its strange way through life's hardest cement.” – San Francisco Examiner Aug 7, 2004 Full Review A Short Film About Killing (1988) 91% EDIT “One of the most horrific films you're likely to see -- and one of the most oddly didactic.” – San Francisco Examiner May 29, 2004 Full Review Godzilla (1998) 20% EDIT “Forget the plot, though: All these guys know how to do is high-tech bang-bang, and at times they do it pretty well.” – Salon.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review The Edge (1997) 63% 4/5 EDIT “...a solid man-against-nature tale...” – Salon.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Volcano (1997) 48% EDIT “A flatulent blast of superheated air from the seething bowels of Hollywood...” – Salon.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Chungking Express (1994) 89% EDIT “A frenetic one-way ride through The Land of Vaporous Plot, with stops along the way at Irritatingly Cute Extended Metaphor City.” – Salon.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review A Little Princess (1995) 97% 3/4 EDIT “A Little Princess is a delightful film. Bring your children, or just bring yourself.” – San Francisco Examiner Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (1995) 30% 1/4 EDIT “As a TV show, Power Rangers is merely lame. Blown up into a movie, with $40 million worth of special effects draped over the same 29-cent plot and three-for-a-nickel characters, it is positively grotesque.” – San Francisco Examiner Jan 1, 2000 Full Review The English Patient (1996) 86% EDIT “The English Patient, the superb new film by Anthony Minghella, is that rarest of things: a film based on a great contemporary novel.” – Salon.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Crimson Tide (1995) 89% 3/4 EDIT “It's too slick to be truly disturbing, but it's that slickness that keeps you on the edge of your chair.” – San Francisco Examiner Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Lawrence of Arabia (1962) 93% EDIT “This is that rare film whose weaknesses are not only swallowed up by its vast, disturbing ambition, but somehow become part of its strengths.” – Salon.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Village of the Damned (1995) 28% EDIT “Needless and undeveloped subplots dissipate the clean suspense of the original, and the exponential increase in violence and gore cannot conceal this.” – San Francisco Examiner Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Prefontaine (1997) 54% EDIT “Even through Prefontaine's obviousness, we feel its force.” – Salon.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Beavis and Butt-head Do America (1996) 71% EDIT “Mostly, we get dumb formula, not quite ironic and self-mocking enough to be hip.” – Salon.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review A Thousand Acres (1997) 22% EDIT “Ploddingly literal, A Thousand Acres is basically a star vehicle that relies on superior acting to redeem it. It does have superior acting, but that's not nearly enough.” – Salon.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review He Got Game (1998) 82% EDIT “He Got Game is a little too sappy to be a great movie, but it puts the ball in the hole.” – Salon.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review The Basketball Diaries (1995) 46% 1/4 EDIT “The film's complete refusal to explore anything beyond Jim's collapse and redemption is both sentimental and finally uninteresting.” – San Francisco Examiner Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Saving Private Ryan (1998) 94% EDIT “Using the overpowering techniques of modern film, Steven Spielberg has cut through the glory-tinged gauze that shrouds World War II to reveal its brutal reality, creating a phenomenology of violence unsurpassed in the history of cinema.” – Salon.com Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Bad Boys (1995) 46% EDIT “A pretty amusing shoot'em-up.” – San Francisco Examiner Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Bushwhacked (1995) 18% 2.5/4 EDIT “It ain't Shakespeare, but it's a decent pre-pube flick about a New Yawk bozo and a bunch of cute kids flopping around in the ponderosa.” – San Francisco Examiner Jan 1, 2000 Full Review
