Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) 93% 3/4 “A roller-coaster ride aimed at an audience thirsting for two hours of simple fun. It's the most simplistic sort of melodrama embellished with spectacle; that's all there is to it, and we're ready and waiting for the third part.” – San Francisco Examiner Apr 23, 2025 Full Review Shall We Dance? (1996) 90% 3/4 “The picture can be enjoyed simply as a droll tale of conventional types indulging in a mild form of rebellion, but offers more than that.” – San Francisco Examiner Aug 21, 2024 Full Review The Duellists (1977) 74% “A respectable effort at a low-budget period drama marred by deficiencies in the acting and the script.” – San Francisco Examiner Nov 21, 2023 Full Review Alien (1979) 93% 3/4 “Scott seems ponderous about getting through simple plot mechanics... But for those who like this kind of film, he's produced something like the equivalent of every amusement park ride rolled into one.” – San Francisco Examiner Nov 16, 2023 Full Review Armageddon (1998) 43% 2/4 “This is a big dumb friendly dog of a movie, and the point is to let it knock you down and slobber all over you. You can't carp about cheap thrills; either go with it, or stay home.” – San Francisco Examiner Jun 22, 2023 Full Review Martin (1978) 90% 2/5 “Somewhat pretentious and roughly made, but often works on a crude comic book level. ” – San Francisco Examiner Sep 28, 2022 Full Review Kramer vs. Kramer (1979) 90% 3/4 “Hoffman is exceptionally good as Kramer, remarkably skillful in delineating the transition from father-in-name to father-in-fact. He's sure to get an Oscar nomination. The boy, Justin Henry, is quite naturalistic.” – San Francisco Examiner Aug 5, 2022 Full Review Coal Miner's Daughter (1980) 84% 3/4 “The rise of country singer Loretta Lynn... is charted amiably, sometimes movingly, and with quiet eye for detail, in Michael Apted's film, Coal Miner's Daughter.” – San Francisco Examiner Apr 7, 2022 Full Review The Ascent (1977) 100% 3/4 “I hope that preconceptions about films from the Soviet Union won't deter audiences from seeing The Ascent, a beautiful and humane story, sensitively directed by... Larissa Shepitko, about Russian partisans in the second World War.” – San Francisco Examiner Mar 1, 2022 Full Review The Silence (2010) 87% “Although it may not fire on all cylinders, "The Silence" offers much to admire.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jul 17, 2020 Full Review Echo in the Canyon (2018) 89% 3/4 “For rock 'n' rollers of all ages, it's mandatory viewing.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jun 4, 2019 Full Review A Dog's Journey (2019) 53% 2.5/4 “Even the crustiest viewers (count me among them) must credit director Gail Mancuso for a handful of sequences that, amid all the glop, are capable of softening a hard heart.” – San Francisco Chronicle May 15, 2019 Full Review Ramen Shop (2018) 86% 3/4 “This isn't the acme of filmmaking, but it can be fun.” – San Francisco Chronicle Apr 25, 2019 Full Review Hotel Mumbai (2018) 76% 2/4 “The fictionalized parts are hamstrung by clichés of character, situation and dialogue, making for a very uneasy experience.” – San Francisco Chronicle Mar 26, 2019 Full Review Transit (2018) 94% 3/4 “It's a demanding film, but gives a lot in return.” – San Francisco Chronicle Mar 20, 2019 Full Review The Highwaymen (2019) 58% 2.5/4 “Despite the movie's limitations, it's safe to say that screenwriter Fusco has accomplished his goal.” – San Francisco Chronicle Mar 14, 2019 Full Review Finding Steve McQueen (2018) 46% 3/4 “A slickly made piece of entertainment that's a good time out at the movies.” – San Francisco Chronicle Mar 13, 2019 Full Review Ash Is Purest White (2018) 99% 3.5/4 “An exceptionally fine movie that plays out on a large and leisurely scale. It combines a report on the state of things in today's China (not good) and a heartbreaking depiction of the personal damage that results.” – San Francisco Chronicle Mar 13, 2019 Full Review Woman at War (2018) 97% 3/4 “The director's admiration and affection for Halla is clear, as are his activist sympathies, and they are put across with a lightness and a mild absurdity that make for a warmer experience than the material suggests.” – San Francisco Chronicle Mar 7, 2019 Full Review Tito and the Birds (2018) 84% 3/4 “There's a human quality to these visuals, which are pointedly not striving for perfection, but revel instead in supposed defects like smudges, jittery lines, color blotches and distorted proportions.” – San Francisco Chronicle Feb 7, 2019 Full Review Adult Life Skills (2016) 75% 2/4 “"Adult Life Skills" is a relentlessly quirky British comedy-drama that demonstrates why more is not always more.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jan 15, 2019 Full Review The World Before Your Feet (2018) 100% 3/4 “It's hard to see Green in action and not think of traditional pilgrims on holy journeys and, perhaps, hermits or monks or others who have withdrawn from regular life.” – San Francisco Chronicle Dec 26, 2018 Full Review The Quake (2018) 85% 2/4 “Joner is a capable actor, but he's required here to remain for such a long time in a one-note condition of mental fragility that our sympathy for the character starts to give way to exasperation.” – San Francisco Chronicle Dec 11, 2018 Full Review Divide and Conquer: The Story of Roger Ailes (2018) 90% 2/4 “If you need a reason to believe that Ailes was a creep, the film gives you that. But the movie makes its case in a way that's a little too easy to digest.” – San Francisco Chronicle Dec 6, 2018 Full Review Shirkers (2018) 99% 3/4 “The movie is many things at once.” – San Francisco Chronicle Nov 28, 2018 Full Review
