Painless Sting
Times Staff WriterSomeone's gone to the trouble of making a comic-book version of "The Scorpion King," but it's not clear why they bothered. The movie itself is a live-action cartoon, a fast-moving and cheerfully simplistic 88 minutes of exaggerated action put together...Tags: Death, Michael Clarke Duncan, Vince McMahon, Wrestling, Grant Heslov

Movie review, 'Eisenstein'
It's stretching the truth to call Renny Bartlett's "Eisenstein" a movie biography, since it plays so fast and loose with the facts surrounding the life of the great Russian director Sergei Eisenstein (1898-1948), whose pioneering work on film editing -...Tags: Vsevolod Meyerhold, Sergei Eisenstein, Cinema Industry, Entertainment, Movies

Movie review, 'The Scorpion King'
"The Scorpion King" - one of the sweatiest, dustiest and most cartoonishly violent movies to hit the screens in quite a while - is a desert actioner without much character, story or real suspense. It's also a star-making vehicle for pro wrestling's...Tags: Vince McMahon, Crimes, Grant Heslov, Jim Carrey, Cameron Diaz

Scary for all the wrong reasons
Orlando CityBeat WriterGothika is a ghost-story movie. This is a slightly different film genre than full-out horror movies, but the purpose is more or less the same: long stretches of creepy music and incredibly stupid decision-making, leading up to a heart-pounding, shock-...Tags: Robert Downey Jr., Halle Berry, Crimes, Crime, Law and Justice, Penelope Cruz

Movie review: 'Wimbledon'

Movie review: 'Gothika'
Tribune movie critic2 stars (out of 4) Halle Berry plays a criminal psychiatrist who winds up in the psycho ward in "Gothika"--a sleek, fast nightmare thriller that, like Berry in the film, looks good but acts crazy. It's the sort of movie that must have seemed great on...Tags: Academy Awards, Audrey Tautou, Robert Downey Jr., Death, Charles S Dutton

Halle...Tags: Audrey Tautou, Robert Downey Jr., Death, Charles S Dutton, Crime, Law and Justice
