1/4	"An overwrought weepie, it may be inspired by the recent dramas of Pedro Almod�var, but it comes off as Almod�var Lite -- muy lite." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Sep 1, 2006	Two Drifters (2006)	43%
2/4	"A loose and often not-so-engrossing assortment of scenes intended to showcase Amma's hold on her followers." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Aug 18, 2006	Darshan - the Embrace (2006)	50%
2/4	"Despite Cheung's efforts (she won the best actress award at Cannes in 2004) and a strong and subtle supporting performance by Nick Nolte, the story could have used a good dose of adrenaline to keep it from often seeming lifeless." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted May 26, 2006	Clean (2006)	71%
2/4	"*It's a bit like watching a weaker version of Crash, with fewer coincidences." -- San Francisco Chronicle* Posted Apr 21, 2006	American Gun (2006)	38%
1.5/4	"It's a well-meaning but ultimately feeble and misguided attempt to say something profound about the aftereffects of the 2001 attacks on New York." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Mar 17, 2006	Sorry, Haters (2006)	35%
2/4	"A film about profound ideas deserved more imagination." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Mar 15, 2006	The Ister (2004)	86%
2/4	"A fun and free-form celebration of the site's communal spirit and only-in-San Francisco ethos." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Oct 7, 2005	24 Hours on Craigslist (2005)	50%
0/4	"It'd be unfair to reveal whether Ethan's prayers go answered, but viewers can take comfort in knowing that their own prayers will be: Yes, this movie, eventually, comes to an end." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Apr 8, 2005	Ethan Mao (2005)	36%
2/4	"The story, in the end, is less than satisfying and, unfortunately, doesn't match the movie's eerie style." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jan 28, 2005	Fear X (2003)	55%
1/4	"De Heer, who also wrote the script, would have us believe that a wife who's tired of her oblivious bloke of a husband could suddenly become conniving and cruel, coolly defending her actions with twisted logic that's sold as feminism." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jan 14, 2005	Alexandra's Project (2005)	53%
2/4	"As a film it plays like a heavy-handed morality tale one might come across on a middling cable network." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Oct 22, 2004	Woman, Thou Art Loosed (2004)	50%
1/4	"Much of the movie drag." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Oct 8, 2004	Rockets Redglare! (2003)	33%
1/4	"The monsters are derivative, the attempts at humor are mostly feeble and the story, in the end, lacks a certain je ne sais quoi." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Aug 6, 2004	Kaena: The Prophecy (2004)	7%
1/4	"The movie's pretty much a stinker." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jul 30, 2004	Proteus (2003)	29%
1/4	"This clumsy, self-indulgent film veers from comedy to tragedy and is told in flashbacks, with treacly diary entries and unconvincing 'testimonies' from friends providing a window into the past." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jul 2, 2004	Adored - Diary of a Porn Star (2004)	21%
1/4	"The tone is often that of a preachy after-school special, down to the instructional messages that regularly flash across the screen." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 4, 2004	A Day Without A Mexican (2004)	30%
