4/4	"It's a ton of fun, a totally irresistible tale of gambling, greed, love and violence.

4/4	"*The most heartbreaking, moving film in theaters right now is not Babel, Letters From Iwo Jima* or Little Children. It is China Blue, a documentary about sweatshop workers at a denim factory.*" -- San Francisco Chronicle* Posted Jan 19, 2007	China Blue (2005)	100%

4/4	"What film is all about, but all too often isn't -- it challenges its audience to look at the world in a different way." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Mar 26, 2004	Hukkle (2002)	100%
5/5	"*One of Spike Lee's greatest films -- seamlessly merging personal drama against a canvas of larger social significance on a level worthy of Do the Right Thing." -- Film Threat* Posted Jan 16, 2003	25th Hour (2002)	78%
4/4	"*Michelangelo Antonioni's The Passenger* is more than the re-release of a great film -- it's a rare chance to see a major cinematic work, perhaps more than once, on the big screen.*" -- San Francisco Chronicle* Posted Nov 11, 2005	The Passenger (1975)	91%

4/4	"If you crossed Meet the Parents with The Godfather and filmed it 45 years ago in Italian, you might come close to Mafioso, a black-and-white gem from 1962 whose appearance in local theaters is inexplicable but most welcome." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Apr 13, 2007	Mafioso (1962)	96%
4/4	"The film that Bu�uel said reinvigorated his career, and indeed, its love of his young characters and his energetic, grassroots direction imbues it with a seemingly youthful vigor, even though Bu�uel was 50 when he made it." -- San Francisco Chronicle Posted Jun 3, 2005	Los Olvidados (1950)	93%
4.5/5	"The level of maturity displayed by this 33-year-old first-time feature director is astonishing, considering her inexperience and her subject matter." -- Film Threat Posted Dec 17, 2002	Take Care of My Cat (2001)	81%
