Eat, Drink and be Merry San Francisco is a barrel full of fish -- fabulous, restaurant-shaped fish -- and there's no letting up on the spawning. Come shoot the latest with us! It's holiday time. |
 |
Occasions For Being Merry and Maybe Even Finding Gifts The winter holiday season can be at turns trying and filled with merriment. There is much to stress about -- which holiday party invitations to accept or decline, what dish to bring to the holiday gathering, how to stave off the pounds, how to balance your gift-giving spirit with the desire to stay on top of your finances and how to survive family gatherings. With incessant reminders and proclamations about the dismal state of the economy, San Francisco has not been spared from the crunch. But our vibrant city has much to offer this holiday season to lift you out of the blues. |

A Powerful Voice Rating: 4 out of 5 stars.
Having spent much of the new millennium wandering the indie wilderness with dream-like ruminations on fallen rock stars (Last Days) and dangerously disaffected youth (Paranoid Park, Elephant), Gus Van Sant makes a temporary return to conventional storytelling with Milk, his beautiful and powerfully affecting tribute to slain gay-rights leader Harvey Milk. |
 |
Epic Scope, Epic Sprawl Rating: 3 out of 5 stars.
After a seven-year period in which one project, an Alexander the Great biopic, failed to materialize (Oliver Stone’s box office and critical failure pre-empted any other biopics on Alexander the Great), filmmaker Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge, Romeo + Juliet, Strictly Ballroom) is back with Australia, a sprawling epic that’s part (Australian) Western, part wartime romance, with a superficial exploration of the so-called “Stolen Generations", half-white/half-aborigines who were forcibly taken from their parents and raised by Christian missionaries. |
 |
More Isn’t Always Better Rating: 2 out of 5 stars.
You'd think that Christmas would attract some of the year's more quality films, right? Christmas should inspire great stories. Instead Christmas has become a dreaded movie theme in recent years. Sure, there's the rare gem like Love, Actually but the past decade has been plagued with awful Christmas comedies. Unfortunately, Four Christmases won’t save the day. |
 |
It’s the End of the Road Rating: 2 out of 5 stars.
Frank Martin, the driver-for-hire role first essayed by Jason Statham in 2002’s The Transporter, is back for a third go around in the appropriately, if unimaginatively titled Transporter 3. Written, like the previous films in the franchise, by Luc Besson (The Fifth Element, The Professional, La Femme Nikita) and Robert Mark Kamen and directed by Olivier Megaton, Transporter 3 is a sub-Bond (as in James Bond), formulaic and lackluster effort that will just barely keep action and/or Statham fans entertained. |

Let’s Talk About Sex Sebastien Tellier could very well be France’s new sexual ambassador to the United States. For his third LP Sexuality, the Parisian enlisted Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, one half of Daft Punk, for production help and a willing girlfriend to provide the requisite moans over his musical interpretation of sexual bliss. Tellier spoke with SF Station during a phone interview from his Los Angeles hotel on a rainy morning before starting his North American tour. He performs at Mezzanine on December 4th. |

The BBC Sessions A cherry-picked collection of this indie-rock band’s best, the two-disk BBC Sessions will be snapped up by devoted fans in no time. Whilst the song selection doesn’t divert much from the original studio recordings, it’s always nice to have your favorites play one after the other -- making the BBC Sessions the ultimate "best of". Having said that, there are a few rarities from a 2001 session including “Shoot The Sexual Athlete” and “Nothing in the Silence” which was sung by Isobel Campbell shortly before she left the band. |

Released on Matador/Domino, 12/9/08 If I were to make a mix tape of my high school years, not only would I need to buy a tape deck and some cassettes but I would also need to dig out my old tape box. And if I felt willing and emotionally stable enough to take a little trip back to 1992 and create a soundtrack to my awkward coming of age and self-conscious adolescent angst, Pavement would be a featured artist. |

Released on Lujo Records, 11/18/08 Chicago-native Abraham Levitan may be better known as the lead singer of indie-soul group Baby Teeth. But while the group awaits the release of their third album, Levitan decided to break out on his own. Unfortunately, it’s not without its faults. |
