Birdwatchers (2008) 96% 4/4 EDIT “Momentarily, it feels as if the Guarani could win this fight and maybe give it to globalization on the shins.” – San Francisco Chronicle Oct 16, 2009 Full Review I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell (2009) 20% 1/4 EDIT “I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell is the perfect cautionary tale for any frat boy who considers making a film based on the phrase, "Dude, remember that one time?"” – San Francisco Chronicle Sep 25, 2009 Full Review Under Our Skin (2008) 81% 3/4 EDIT “We may not get to argue both sides of the debate, but Under Our Skin stirs the deepest emotions and reveals the most unsettling truth: We're all vulnerable to a tick bite, sure, but it's the health care system that really gets us in the end.” – San Francisco Chronicle Sep 18, 2009 Full Review Cold Souls (2009) 75% 2.5/4 EDIT “Giamatti stammers and futzes and self-loathes with the best of 'em, and his endearing persona and droopy-dog face can move the film along even when the narrative can't.” – Houston Chronicle Sep 4, 2009 Full Review Earth Days (2009) 82% 3/4 EDIT “” – San Francisco Chronicle Aug 14, 2009 Full Review Tony Manero (2008) 85% 3/4 EDIT “” – San Francisco Chronicle Jul 3, 2009 Full Review Battle for Terra (2007) 50% 4/4 EDIT “The creators of the 3-D animation film Battle for Terra have developed such an entirely new world inside the movie theater, it's hard not to think they just pushed the film-viewing experience forward 10 years.” – San Francisco Chronicle May 1, 2009 Full Review Earth (2007) 87% 2/4 EDIT “For adults, Earth misses the mark of riveting storytelling. Earth crams in the dramatic adventures of several species (including penguins) -- with the result that it comes up short on telling one really good story.” – San Francisco Chronicle Apr 24, 2009 Full Review Race to Witch Mountain (2009) 42% 1/4 EDIT “Wow, when Disney misses the 'reimagining' mark, it really misses.” – San Francisco Chronicle Mar 13, 2009 Full Review Moscow, Belgium (2008) 93% 3/4 EDIT “Few films tackle the question of whether a man with a history of domestic violence can learn to love again -- and fewer still do it in a subtly comedic and charming way.” – San Francisco Chronicle Feb 27, 2009 Full Review Notorious (2009) 52% 2/4 EDIT “It must have been an act of great restraint for Sean Combs to resist titling this film, about Chris Wallace, his close friend turned rapper and cultural icon, The Notorious B.I.G. -- The Sean Combs Story.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jan 16, 2009 Full Review Not Easily Broken (2009) 31% 2.5/4 EDIT “Like some marriages, it has its flaws, but perhaps it's the good stuff that's worth focusing on.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jan 9, 2009 Full Review Noah's Arc: Jumping the Broom (2008) 45% 2/4 EDIT “It's tempting to slight the effort as My Big Fat Gay Wedding, since the screenwriters follow a familiar template.” – San Francisco Chronicle Dec 5, 2008 Full Review Arctic Tale (2007) 60% 2/4 EDIT “Despite the storytelling faults, Ravetch and Robertson offer remarkable footage from the evaporating Arctic.” – San Francisco Chronicle Aug 3, 2007 Full Review Steel City (2006) 83% 3/4 EDIT “In writer and director Brian Jun's film, the story isn't set up so neatly, and, at first, the ambiguity builds tension.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jun 1, 2007 Full Review Air Guitar Nation (2006) 86% 3/4 EDIT “In this pitch-perfect documentary about the very real rise of air guitar competition in the United States, and two of its top performers, stony thoughts will arise as to whether one is suddenly trapped inside a satire that got wrapped in a reality.” – San Francisco Chronicle May 11, 2007 Full Review
