  1. 'The Sisters'

    A pompous, overwrought and itchingly claustrophobic psychodrama, "The Sisters" was adapted by Richard Alfieri from his own play, which itself was "suggested," whatever that means, by Chekhov's play of almost the same name. The movie transposes four morose siblings from early 20th century podunk Russia to a contemporary Manhattan college campus (because of, you know, the parallels), but instead of having them long for Moscow, the writer sets them pining for Charleston, S.C. OK, it sounds weird, but you'd long for Charleston too, even one shrouded in great billowing clouds of fake flashback fog, if you spent all your time in New York holed up in a teachers' lounge verbally abusing friends and family under a creepy oil portrait of your dead father.

  6. Movie review: 'Kinsey'

    TRIBUNE MOVIE CRITIC
    3 ½ stars (out of 4) What price is sexual candor? "Kinsey" gives us a few notions. This hip, highly partisan biography of Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey is a surprisingly entertaining movie about the perils of studying sexual behavior in a sexually uptight...

    While the Pilgrims were no doubt thankful for many things after a long trip to settle in a strange land, a VCR wasn't one of them. Modern times allow us to be thankful for this great invention. If you're tired of the bickering relatives and the same-ol'...

  10. Batman & Robin

    TIMES FILM CRITIC
    Friday 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...

  11. Cookie's Fortune

    TIMES STAFF WRITER
    Friday April 2, 1999      Robert Altman's "Cookie's Fortune" is a gem among the fabled director's ensemble movies, a Southern charmer--full of good humor and mature wisdom--that views human foibles with the bemused compassion of a Jean Renoir. This...

  12. 'Kinsey'

    If sex is front and center in today's America, a nation simultaneously puritanical and porn-obsessed, Alfred C. Kinsey put it there. Nearly forgotten now, this driven, obsessive pioneer comes to the screen in "Kinsey" with a psychological complexity his contemporaries never imagined. Intelligently written and directed with a pleasing frankness by Bill Condon and well played by Liam Neeson, Laura Linney and a strong supporting cast, the film skillfully uses the forms of old Hollywood to tell a story that would have given heart failure to Harry Cohn and his fellow tycoons.
