Movie review: 'The Butterfly Effect'
Chicago Tribune Movie Writer2 1/2 stars (out of 4) Most movies with cosmic overtones can be divided into the Destiny and Random camps.

Kicking and Screaming
TIMES STAFF WRITERWednesday October 25, 1995 Noah Baumbach's "Kicking and Screaming" takes many of us back to one of life's more painful periods: the immediate aftermath of college graduation.

2 Days in the Valley
FOR THE TIMESFriday September 27, 1996 Hodgepodge may not be the word writer-director John Herzfeld would use to describe his quirky black comedy "2 Days in the Valley," but hodgepodge it is.

Fluke
TIMES STAFF WRITERFriday June 2, 1995 No wonder "Fluke" takes 50 of its 95 minutes to get to the heart of the matter, for in that time it has to sell us not only on the notion of reincarnation but also that humans can come back as dogs. That's an awful lot of...Tags: Animals, Matthew Modine, Nancy Travis, Death, Brian Johnson

Rob Roy
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday April 7, 1995 "Rob Roy" is one of those familiar names that everyone's heard but no one can quite place.
