Love's Labour's Lost
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday June 9, 2000 Writing musical theater was not an option for William Shakespeare, but Kenneth Branagh hasn't let that trouble him.

Disney's The Kid
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday July 7, 2000 Even in an age of relentless branding, calling a new family fantasy "Disney's The Kid" is a bit unnerving.

Movie review, 'Formula 51'

Movie review, 'Lovely and Amazing'
Nicole Holofcener's sharp and delicate observations of relationships are the antithesis to that so-synthetic-it-causes-skin-rash stuff out of which most movies about women are spun. In those films-usually tagged with the condescending term "chick flick"-...Tags: Ted Hope, James LeGros, Family, Comedy (genre), Nicole Holofcener

'Lovely & Amazing'
Times Staff WriterSEE CORRECTION APPENDED "Lovely & Amazing" is all but indescribable, and what a good thing that is. Like the best of personal, independent cinema--terms that too often provide cover for a multitude of sins--it is both marvelously observed and...Tags: Ted Hope, James LeGros, Nicole Holofcener, Movies, Brenda Blethyn

'A Foreign Affair'
Times Staff WriterThe proverb goes, "Laughing bride, weeping wife. Weeping bride, laughing wife." Whatever. The lackluster "A Foreign Affair," about two American brothers from the heartland who head to Russia on a romance tour to find a wife — not for love, mind...Tags: Russia, Movies, Documentary (genre), Death, David Arquette
