Southland stories run the gamut - The Voice of San Francisco While Las Vegas, Nev., and Branson, Mo., have each co-opted the title in recent years, Los Angeles was touted as the Entertainment Capital of the World for decades. L.A.’s reputation as the ultimate s...

As I attest in @TheVoiceSF.bsky.social, L.A. is the ideal setting for the movie adventures of a master thief (#Crime101) & a time-traveling tech-pocalypse warrior (#GoodLuckHaveFunDontDie) & the TV exploits of a super-powered Hollywood wannabe (#WonderMan): #SFBAFCC thevoicesf.org/southland-st...

Those January movie doldrums - The Voice of San Francisco As tradition dictates, a gaggle of prestige movies made it into theaters for official awards consideration by critics’ groups and industry guild members before the end of the calendar year. Some of th...

It's the January movie dead zone when studios & distributors dump lesser releases into theaters - with a few exceptions. I review two examples of the detritus (#Greenland2 and #Primate) & an outlier (#28YearsLater: #TheBoneTemple) in @TheVoiceSF.bsky.social: #SFBAFCC thevoicesf.org/those-januar...

One of the ongoing flurry of smart, rousing science-fiction TV shows, #Pluribus has enflamed online fan groups and water-cooler debate with its spin on a classic motif -- and I'm there for it, as imparted in my coverage for @TheVoiceSF.bsky.social: #SFBAFCC thevoicesf.org/invasion-of-...

True stories reclaim past glories - The Voice of San Francisco If a movie released in recent times isn’t a mega-budget thrill ride derived from an action, science fiction, or fantasy franchise, it might be an adaptation of a best-selling young-adult romance novel...

Among the recent spate of movies inspired by true stories, #NouvelleVague & #PeterHujarsDay stand out as unique glimpses of significant times, places & people. I elaborate in my latest film column for @TheVoiceSF.bsky.social: #SFBAFCC thevoicesf.org/true-stories...

An aristocratic TV saga finds closure at the movies - The Voice of San Francisco With the wide release of Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale in movie theaters this past weekend, it appears that the long-running TV series about an upper-crust British family in the early years of the 2...

Serve the tea & scones! Writing in @TheVoiceSF.bsky.social, I tip my bowler to #DowntonAbbey: #TheGrandFinale, the last film in the saga of an aristocratic U.K. family during the early 20th century, bringing the TV & movie franchise to a satisfying conclusion: #SFBAFCC thevoicesf.org/an-aristocra...

Bad relations, big laughs - The Voice of San Francisco Reveling in the misery of others — schadenfreude, as the Germans call it — may seem cruel, but when the unhappiness is the result of ill-advised or dysfunctional romantic couplings and it generates sm...

Now in theaters, #TheRoses & #Splitsville are intrepid movie comedies that find dark humor in relationship trauma. I relish the audacity & favorably review these two brutally funny explorations of marriage & friendship in free fall for @TheVoiceSF.bsky.social: #SFBAFCC

On the road for better or worse - The Voice of San Francisco The road picture is a staple of the movie industry, generally featuring one, two, or more people undertaking an odyssey that delivers some combination of action, conflict, personal growth, comedy, and...

In a de facto on-the-road trifecta, three current movies - #SheRidesShotgun #SouleymanesStory & #KerouacsRoad: #TheBeatOfANation - take very different journeys with distinctly disparate results. I map them out in my latest column for @TheVoiceSF.bsky.social: #SFBAFCC thevoicesf.org/on-the-road-...
