Movie review: 'Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life'
Chicago Tribune Movie Writer2 stars (out of 4) Ridiculously clunky title aside, "Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life" is superior to 2001's "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" in almost every way.

Amistad
TIMES FILM CRITICWednesday December 10, 1997 While it's tempting but unfair to see him as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Steven Spielberg does have a split in his filmmaking personality.

'Never Met Picasso'
Times Staff WriterMargot Kidder is back, looking far too young and beautiful to be the mother of a 30-year-old son, and giving a beguiling performance as an easygoing parent in Stephen Kijak's skittish "Never Met Picasso."

L'Ennui (Boredom)
TIMES STAFF WRITERFriday October 15, 1999 Cedric Kahn's relentless "L'Ennui" is such a rigorous exploration of sexual obsession that it proves to be a most demanding film.
