THINKING ABOUT THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE MOVIE REVIEW SECTION

During my teenage years, I spent some amount of time in the San Francisco Bay Area and I used to really enjoy reading the San Francisco Chronicle which I think is (or was when I used to read it) one of America’s best put together newspapers….The layout , the graphics, the quality of the writing-Superb!

My favorite part of the reading the San Francisco Chronicle was the pink DATEBOOK section which appeared in the extra-large Sunday edition….This contained everything there was to do in the city from restaurants to music to movie reviews.

The movie reviews were my favorite….I especially liked the moviegoer icons.





I just found that communicating the level of quality and interest in this manner to be every memorable….I especially like the middle one where the guy is just staring at the screen….so many times we go to movie and our reactions are blank like that....Neither negative or positive....Just blah!
