They walk on air

Now that a number of the recipients of freebie duds...Tags: Cynthia Nixon, According to Jim (tv program), Entertainment, Wanda Sykes, Television

Movie review: 'Beauty Shop'
TRIBUNE MOVIE CRITIC3 stars (out of 4) There are times when you can enjoy a picture that's packed full of cliches, formula plot lines, recycled jokes, and populated with big, brassy, in-your-face characters and a few caricatures. For me, that was the case with "Beauty Shop,...Tags: Della Reese, Mena Suvari, Djimon Hounsou, Bacon, Alfre Woodard

Movie review: 'Catwoman'
Tribune Staff Reporter1 star (out of 4) "Catwoman" arrives in the theaters as the "Showgirls" of superhero movies. This is not a compliment. A vacuous lingerie show posing as feminism, it's the biggest movie hairball this side of "Garfield." Halle Berry plays Patience...Tags: Frances Conroy, DVDs and Movies, Gaming, Sharon Stone, Christopher Walken

'Beauty Shop'
Times Staff WriterWhen the success of "Barbershop" led to its inevitable sequel, its filmmakers shrewdly introduced Queen Latifah into the predominantly male world of an African American barbershop in Chicago.

Movie review: 'Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed'
Chicago Tribune Staff Writer1 star (out of 4) When critics say a film is "cartoony," it's often an insult. The term has become shorthand for poorly plotted movies populated by two-dimensional characters and pumped full of superficial action and bright colors. On all counts,...Tags: Crime, Law and Justice, PG Rated Movies, Freddie Prinze, Jr., Matthew Lillard, James Gunn

Walk Their Way
Courant Rock CriticBy the time Aerosmith fizzled out in the early 1980s, the doped-up Boston rockers had already blasted through more of a career than most bands even hope for. Fronted by the so-called toxic twins, Steven Tyler on vocals and Joe Perry on guitar, the band...Tags: Hartford (Hartford, Connecticut), Rock and Roll (genre), Steven Tyler, Liv Tyler, Aerosmith (music group)

Batman & Robin
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday June 20, 1997 The strutting bully that was the Batman franchise is no more. "Batman & Robin," the fourth film in the series, still preens and blusters, but there's no knockout punch. Lacking most kinds of inspiration and geared to undemanding...Tags: Entertainment, Joyce Brothers, Robin the Boy Wonder (fictional character), Movies, Plastic Surgeons

Blast From the Past
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday February 12, 1999 If you do something often enough, you're likely to get better at it. Even if it's playing the fool. Brendan Fraser has done well by acting dumb. As the title character in the successful "George of the Jungle," he was...Tags: Perry Como, Renny Harlin, Health and Safety at School, Christopher Walken, Safeway Inc.

A debut at home
Sun Theater CriticWhen Hairspray launches its national tour at the Mechanic Theatre on Tuesday, one cast member will be making his professional debut in his former home state. And no one is more surprised than that actor himself - Bryan West. A 1995 graduate of the...Tags: John Waters, Broadway Theater, Michael Crawford, Arts, Auction Service

Emma
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday August 2, 1996 Since it is a truth universally acknowledged that even a moderately successful version of a Jane Austen novel has a leg up on most original screenplays, it's not difficult to enjoy the genteel amusements "Emma" provides even...Tags: PG Rated Movies, Phyllida Law, Jane Austen, Sandra Bullock, Alan Cumming

Hideaway
TIMES STAFF WRITERFriday March 3, 1995 "Hideaway" is not for the faint of heart. It * is for the faint of mind. Jeff Goldblum plays Hatch Harrison, who apparently dies in a car accident only to be brought back from "the other side" by a crack team of...Tags: Death, Michael Bolton, Alfred Molina, Christine Lahti, Health
