Forever Ya-Yas
TIMES STAFF WRITERLike the lives of its characters, not to mention its title, nothing about "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" is neat, orderly, concise. This is a work of excess and passion, an untidy sprawl of a motion picture that is sometimes ragged,...Tags: Movies, Alison Krauss, Ashley Judd, Book, Lauryn Hill

'Signs'
Times Staff WriterDon't let M. Night Shyamalan's success fool you.

Today the Emmys -- and the Schmemmys
Times Television CriticYou recall the prime-time Emmys. That annual television feel-good of cosmic hair and designer name-dropping? That pantheon of cosmetic tweaking, frozen smiles and scripted ad-libs? That Sunday gridlock of stretch limos from Malibu to points east? Yup,...Tags: Bob Hoskins, The Sopranos (tv program), Jeffrey Wright, Tim Allen, Brad Garrett

The Horse Whisperer

Whatever It Takes
FOR THE TIMESFriday March 24, 2000 Stop me if you've heard this one: High school everyman who's a cross between David Schwimmer and Doogie Howser has a crush on the high school bombshell.

Cradle Will Rock

Beyond the Clouds
TIMES STAFF WRITERFriday December 3, 1999 In recent years, Italy's grand master, Michelangelo Antonioni, has been largely silenced by a 1985 stroke that has left his speech impaired but from which he otherwise recovered.

Black and White
FOR THE TIMESWednesday April 5, 2000 Having written "Bugsy" (1991) and "The Gambler" (1975) and having directed what some feel was among the great debuts in American film--"Fingers" (1977)--James Toback carries around a credibility that's belied by almost...Tags: Cinema Industry, Jodi Lyn O'Keefe, Aaron Eckhart, Mischa Barton, Leslie Bibb
