Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) 91% 4/4 EDIT “The arrival of this spectacular drama about the visit of extraterrestrial beings to earth is this year's second landmark science-fiction film. Although comparisons to Star Wars are inevitable, "Close Encounters" is an entirely different kind of film.” – San Francisco Examiner Apr 3, 2024 Full Review The Ocean Waif (1916) 83% EDIT “The human Interest element is splendidly developed.” – San Francisco Examiner May 24, 2023 Full Review Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) 97% EDIT “It does show democracy in action and in the filibuster sequence the picture's action teaches a speed, suspense and drama of the sort for which Capra has earned his niche in the halls of film fame.” – San Francisco Examiner Nov 8, 2022 Full Review The Toll of the Sea (1922) 89% EDIT “The Toll of the Sea [is] a distinct achievement in the realm of motion pictures. The screen story is dramatically distinguished by the surprising artistry exhibited by Anna May Wong... a new and unheralded personality among screen players.” – San Francisco Examiner Oct 18, 2022 Full Review Neptune's Daughter (1914) 95% EDIT “Bermuda, where most of these scenes were taken, is an exquisite setting for fanciful photoplay acting.” – San Francisco Examiner Jun 24, 2022 Full Review Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (1969) 82% 3/4 EDIT “It is a very funny satire, but with affection, not disdain. ” – San Francisco Examiner Jun 15, 2022 Full Review Traffic in Souls (1913) 78% EDIT “The pictures are well made, and some of the incidents are highly dramatic. Several of the scenes are brutal in their strength, but all are absolutely devoid of unnecessary vulgarity, and every incident carries its lesson.” – San Francisco Examiner May 11, 2021 Full Review Cleopatra (1917) 91% EDIT “Chief interest, however, naturally centers in Theda Bara for her vivid portrayal of the most notable siren in all history.” – San Francisco Examiner Mar 10, 2021 Full Review The Skywayman (1920) 88% EDIT “As the story was written for thrills, so it was filmed, in five noteworthy reels. It shows Locklear's death-defying feats; his last flight, and a "close-up" of his burning plane in its spectacular crash to earth.” – San Francisco Examiner Mar 4, 2021 Full Review Daughter of the Gods (1916) 90% EDIT “The city that was built for the purposes of this picture is an imposing-looking place, and the fire views, when the city is destroyed, are spectacular.” – San Francisco Examiner Dec 5, 2020 Full Review
