Middle Men
2 stars
Far too much of the loosely factual Internet-porn origin myth "Middle Men," set on the fringes of the 1990s adult-entertainment industry in Southern California, is relayed through voice-over narration read by Luke Wilson. Nobody minded when Ray...Tags: Jacinda Barrett, Giovanni Ribisi, Martin Scorsese, Laura Ramsey, Pornography

'Because I Said So'
Times Staff WriterNot long into "Because I Said So," which stars Diane Keaton and Mandy Moore as a mother and daughter bound by a mutual dependence so neurotically obsessive it makes the affair in "Last Tango in Paris" look breezy and wholesome, I was reminded of the...Tags: Mandy Moore, Michael Lehmann, Lifestyle and Leisure, Sausages, Movies

A Nagging Feeling
Zap2It.comDiane Keaton: What's not to like? She's 61, she still has her own face--a great one--and in film after film her comic wiles and emotional transparency, often mixed up in a wondrous blur, consistently outclass her material. Mandy Moore: Very likable. She'...Tags: Mandy Moore, Michael Lehmann, Entertainment, Michael Phillips, Piper Perabo

Because I Said So
MetromixThe most memorable part of "Because I Said So" is the seemingly record-setting high-decibel pitch of the mother-daughter bickering central to the story. The film's shrill, wannabe-comedic intergenerational squabbling will make you wish the concession...Tags: Mandy Moore, Academy Awards, Michael Lehmann, Movies, Diane Keaton

'Bad Company' Isn't Good for Rock
NEWSDAYLate in "Bad Company," maybe too late to make much of a difference, Chris Rock is finally permitted to rear back, let fly and take control of the screen.

'The Recruit'
Times Staff WriterFor the first of its nearly two hours, "The Recruit" is just the sort of diverting, slick nonsense you expect and want when handsome devils like Al Pacino and Colin Farrell play CIA spooks. Directed by Roger Donaldson with loads of off-kilter camera...Tags: Al Pacino, Movies, Colin Farrell, Entertainment, Espionage and Intelligence

An Unflagging, Flag-Waving Flyboy
TIMES FILM CRITICIt may look like a little like him, but that's definitely not Tom Cruise on the poster for "Behind Enemy Lines." The confusion, though, is understandable, given a film that might as well be called "Top Gun Goes to Bosnia." Hotshot flyboys rule one more...Tags: Movies, David Keith, Entertainment, Television, Armed Forces

Movie review: 'A Love Song for Bobby Long'
TRIBUNE STAFF REPORTER3 stars (out of 4) When we first see Bobby Long (John Travolta), we don't see his face but rather his blackened big toe, wrapped in a smiley-face Band-Aid. "A Love Song for Bobby Long" is one of those indie showcases that allows actors to make...Tags: Health and Safety at School, John Steinbeck, Family, Movies, Entertainment

Movie review, 'The Recruit'
"The Recruit," with Al Pacino as a cynical but savvy CIA instructor and Colin Farrell as his new prize pupil, is pretty entertaining at first, then jumps off the rails. Starting as one of those glossy, expert thrillers whose cliches can be excused because...Tags: Gaming, John Barrymore, Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson, Movies
