Alien Resurrection (1997) |
A wonderfully contradictory film -- it's trashy, brutal, viciously ironic and highly imaginative. - San Francisco Examiner

Soldier (1998) |

Taxi Driver (1976) |
In a brilliant touch, Scorsese uses Bickle's voice-over narration, his continual talking to himself, as a symptom of emotional isolation and mental deterioration rather than for the usual exposition of or commentary on a story. - San Francisco Examiner

Gods and Monsters (1998) |
"Gods and Monsters" is a nearly perfect movie. When film historians write the cinematic history of this decade, it will surely be included. - San Francisco Examiner

Shivers (1975) |
Perhaps the most oral of horror films, Cronenberg's work reaches its chilling climax as the fashionable housing project is transformed into a hive swarming with cries of a dreadful, undesirable ecstasy. - San Francisco Examiner

Out of the Past (1947) |
Not just one fine noir film among many. It has been a guage for the genre, even a template, over the last 50 years. - San Francisco Examiner

Scream (1996) |
In an age that is nearly devoid of talented horror movie directors, it has become tiresome having to consider the inconsiderable, aggravating to search for rationales for the haphazardly assembled creations of people like Craven. - San Francisco Examiner

Pitch Black (2000) |
Sadly, Pitch Black was directed by the man who made the best science fiction movie of 1996, The Arrival. - San Francisco Examiner

The Switchblade Sisters (1975) |
Switchblade, like most of its genre cousins, tries to live up to the impact of its generative poster, and it comes very close to delivering what the artwork promises. - San Francisco Examiner

Cruising (1980) |
It's a movie with a vast undercurrent of restlessness, of people looking for a satiating experience, looking anywhere, everywhere. - San Francisco Examiner
