  1. 'The DaVinci Code'

    Zap2It.com
    At the heart of Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code" is the Priory of Sion, an organization set up to vigilantly protect "one of the most powerful secrets ever kept." Once Brown's thriller became one of the fastest-selling books of all time, a similar...

  3. 'The Pink Panther'

    "For more than a decade, the beloved franchise has lain dormant," reads a rather delightfully florid passage in the publicity materials for the new "Pink Panther" movie, "its reintroduction to contemporary audiences reliant on finding the perfect actor to step into the late Sellers' shoes," conjuring images of Peter Sellers in a glass casket, surrounded by anxious dwarves debating how best to orchestrate his "reintroduction." It's an all-new spin on compulsive cinematic recycling: The Sleeping Beauty rationale.

  9. The Pink Panther

    Zap2It.com
    Arriving on the big screen after lengthy delays and preceded by a dreadfully unfunny trailer, it's almost a relief to declare that Steve Martin's take on "The Pink Panther" isn't nearly as awful as you may have feared. Sure, it's a bit of a lame,...

    <b>1½ stars (out of four)</b>
    Tribune movie critic
    1½ stars (out of four) How can a film contain so many clues yet remain utterly clueless? The screen adaptation of "The Da Vinci Code" treats the Dan Brown novel with a reverence it does not deserve and from which it does not benefit. It stars Tom Hanks...

  17. 'The Tiger and the Snow'

    Roberto Benigni was an amusing delight in the 1986 Jim Jarmusch films "Down by Law" and "Coffee and Cigarettes" and a wonderfully wistful wayfarer in Fellini's lovely allegorical valedictory, "The Voice of the Moon" (1989). But by 1997, "Life Is Beautiful," his sugar-coated Holocaust fantasy, Benigni had allowed pathos to sink into bathos. His "Pinocchio" (2002) was excruciating in both its Italian- and English-language versions.

  23. 'Rollerball' (2002)

    Times Staff Writer
    To watch the new "Rollerball" is to understand why John McTiernan would be tempted to rework the 1975 Norman Jewison original. The earlier film was set in a future in which an ultra-violent sport served as an outlet for a world in which other violence had...
