He Named Me Malala (2015) 73% 2.5/4 “The many faces of Malala emerge: smart, wise beyond her years, loving, playful, funny, fearless and a fighter. At the same time, it's clear she's also an ordinary girl who has risen to accomplish the extraordinary.” – Palo Alto Weekly Oct 19, 2015 Full Review Million Dollar Arm (2014) 65% 3/4 “The art of the deal gives way to matters of the heart, giving viewers a game changer both charming and uplifting.” – Palo Alto Weekly Oct 10, 2015 Full Review Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame (2010) 80% 3/4 “If you're looking for a popcorn movie, producer-director Tsui has crafted an absurdist fantasy that might cure -- or spontaneously combust -- the summertime blues. But even escapist entertainment can have interesting angles.” – Palo Alto Weekly Oct 10, 2015 Full Review Leviathan (2014) 97% 3.5/4 “Cinematographer Mikhail Krichman's stunning images complement the narrative. The cool gray dawns and barren landscapes express Kolya's despair and isolation.” – Palo Alto Weekly Aug 12, 2015 Full Review Irrational Man (2015) 47% 2/4 “Sometimes the 79-year-old filmmaker's practice of churning out a film every year results in a miss.” – Palo Alto Weekly Aug 12, 2015 Full Review New York, I Love You (2009) 37% 2.5/4 “” – Palo Alto Weekly Oct 16, 2009 Full Review Couples Retreat (2009) 10% 2.5/4 “” – Palo Alto Weekly Oct 9, 2009 Full Review Paper Heart (2009) 60% 3/4 “” – Palo Alto Weekly Aug 14, 2009 Full Review Easy Virtue (2008) 52% 2/4 “” – Palo Alto Weekly May 22, 2009 Full Review Observe and Report (2009) 51% 2.5/4 “” – Palo Alto Weekly Apr 10, 2009 Full Review Duplicity (2009) 65% 2.5/4 “” – Palo Alto Weekly Mar 20, 2009 Full Review Coraline (2009) 91% 3.5/4 “Writer-director Henry Selick's delightfully imaginative toon delves into another dreamscape.” – Palo Alto Weekly Feb 6, 2009 Full Review Doubt (2008) 79% 3/4 “” – Palo Alto Weekly Jan 1, 2009 Full Review Frost/Nixon (2008) 93% 4/4 “Engrossing emotionally and intellectually, this showdown shouldn't be missed.” – Palo Alto Weekly Dec 25, 2008 Full Review Under the Same Moon (2007) 72% 3.5/4 “Patricia Riggen's feature debut proves that the terms crowd-pleaser and social-issue movie can apply to the same film.” – Palo Alto Weekly Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Definitely, Maybe (2008) 71% 2.5/4 “Modern romance may be more realistic in Definitely, Maybe, but it's also less satisfying than the illusions that classic romantic movies create about amore.” – Palo Alto Weekly Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Charlie Wilson's War (2007) 82% 2.5/4 “The movie never addresses the pressing questions raised in Crile's nonfiction page-turner. It also never encourages the viewer to consider that a solitary congressman appropriated more than $40 million of taxpayer money for his cause.” – Palo Alto Weekly Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Standard Operating Procedure (2008) 79% 3.5/4 “Haunting photographs and video seemingly point a finger at the low-ranking indicted soldiers. Equally haunting is the notion that journalists and the public assumed they had seen everything.” – Palo Alto Weekly Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Then She Found Me (2007) 50% 1.5/4 “Trying to establish a serio-comic tone is a task best suited for seasoned directors. Given that a boom microphone drops into the film frame at least twice, Hunt has more basic production elements to master.” – Palo Alto Weekly Oct 18, 2008 Full Review How the Garcia Girls Spent Their Summer (2005) 79% 2/4 “Stylistically, the film takes risks before veering into an odd sort of studied artiness.” – Palo Alto Weekly Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Persepolis (2007) 96% 3.5/4 “” – Palo Alto Weekly Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Swing Vote (2008) 38% 1.5/4 “Depictions of the spineless presidential hopefuls (Kelsey Grammer and Dennis Hopper) and their campaign managers (Stanley Tucci and Nathan Lane, respectively) offer standard-issue political satire.” – Palo Alto Weekly Oct 18, 2008 Full Review The Express (2008) 63% 3/4 “Quaid delivers one of the most stirring half-time speeches in movie history.” – Palo Alto Weekly Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Belle de Jour (1967) 95% 3/4 “” – Palo Alto Weekly Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Get Smart (2008) 51% 2.5/4 “You'll have a better time if you don't expect this re-imagined work to resemble the original. The phone shoe does fit Carell, and he wears it well.” – Palo Alto Weekly Oct 18, 2008 Full Review
