The foodie doc City of Gold resonates with the flair of a great underground LA restaurant. Review by Matt Cummings No matter where you live - outskirts of town, Downtown Wherever, or in the barrio - there are bound to be special places where you eat. For LA food critic Jonathan Gold, it's much more than reporting on the quality of the meal but plugging into the culture of his hometown. This is where the IFC documentary City of Gold finds itself, existing as far more than food criticism or consumption, but on popular criticism itself. Pulitzer Prize winner and LA Weekly critic Jonathan Gold is as much the subject here as the food he remarks on, gaining adoration from both fans and restaurant owners for his fairness and amiable personality. He samples the most diverse lineup of food you've ever seen (or eaten), most of which is inaccessible to a majority of people living in our country. Beginning as a copy reader for the paper, Gold is the perfect encapsulatio

SUNDANCE SELECTS PRESENTS " City of Gold " Out in Berkeley and San Francisco March 25, 2016 In this richly penetrating documentary odyssey, Pulitzer Prize-winning food critic Jonathan Gold shows us a Los Angeles where ethnic cooking is a kaleidoscopic portal to the mysteries of an unwieldy city and the soul of America. Combing through colorful neighborhoods in his green pickup truck, Gold is sniffing out his next strip-mall discovery—whether Oaxacan grasshopper soup, hand-cut tonkotsu ramen, or a particularly unctuous pad see ew. As piping-hot platters are served up, so are stories of immigrants whose secret family recipes are like sacred offerings pledged for the opportunity to build their American Dream. With eternal curiosity, razor-sharp intellect, and existential longing, Gold is a culinary geographer taking us where no critic has gone before. Please Leave A Comment-

Compliance DVD Review By: MattInRC The disturbing Compliance seeks to prove that humans really are as stupid and gullible as we think. On the surface, 2012's Compliance might seem like the perfect example of an independent film that should never have been made: no A-list Hollywood actors and an unknown director in Craig Zobel. In fact, so few people responded to Compliance that it was quietly pulled after making just $316,000 in just 21 theaters; but dig deeper and one realizes that its performance was in no way a slant as to its quality. Compliance is an underground gem, demonstrating the depths to which some people will blindly follow authority, all in the name of protecting the public good. Set at an Ohio fast-food restaurant, the manager Sandra ( Ann Dowd ) and her employee Becky ( Dreama Walker ) don't like each other and fail to get along - it's a case of mutual needs meeting at a sharp point. During an especially busy day at the restaurant, Sandra

Crawlspace  Review By: MattInRC The low-budget Crawlspace doesn't look like it, delivering a decent horror flick experience. At SJF, we've reviewed plenty of low-budget horror tripe. On the surface, Crawlspace appeared to be yet another of these throw-away flicks; we're inclined to let it sit a moment longer than the others we've merely tossed into the abyss. When a top-secret medical lab in Australia comes under attack from an unknown force, an elite squad of soldiers is tasked with rescuing the science team. What the soldiers do not know is that problem at Pine Gap is not some alien creature but a human experiment gone wrong in the form of Eve ( Amber Clayton ). Having endured a tricky surgery by merging an alien brain with her own, Eve has developed enormous mental powers beyond her own simple telekinesis. Eve awakens frightened and unable to remember who she is, but possessing the charming scars of her recent experience. The strike team sent to deal
