  1. 'The Anarchist Cookbook'

    Times Staff Writer
    Jordan Susman's "The Anarchist Cookbook" is an admirably ambitious political satire but is stronger on soundtrack narration than on-camera dramatization. Susman, in his feature debut, has his main character, Puck (Devon Gummersall), describe his coming...

  3. 5 films that are great non-Scorses/Coppola-directed Robert De Niro movies

    1. THE LAST TYCOON (Elia Kazan; 1976) 3 1/2 stars Kazan and writer Harold Pinter make a curiously cool but intelligent movie of F. Scott Fitzgerald's last, uncompleted novel -- about sophisticated Hollywood studio boss Monroe Stahr (played by Robert De...

  4. 'Intoxicating,' 'Fade to Black,' 'Mind the Gap' and 'Scumrock'

    Low-budget indie veteran Kirk Harris wrote and stars in "Intoxicating," a tiresome addiction drama about a hard-driving heart surgeon with an ex-boxer father who's suffering from pugilistic dementia. Dr. Dorian Shanley (Harris) careens around L.A. in his pharmaceutically accessorized Corvette, squeezing surgical procedures in between coke binges, bar-hopping, uninspired sex and visits with his down-for-the-count pop (John Savage). Harris is at times affecting but his performance often falls into clichés. Eric Roberts is impressively low-key in a supporting role as Dorian's drug-dealer pal. Director Mark David, who served as his own cinematographer, squeezes a lot of visual bang out of his limited budget, with realistic locations making for a convincing backdrop. His stylistic flourishes, however, overdo the druggie effects, and can render some of the darkest scenes laughable.

  5. White Squall

    FOR THE TIMES
    Friday February 2, 1996      It is intimated near the end of Ridley Scott's "White Squall" that the title storm condition may be a myth, and if we weren't told otherwise, we might regard the entire adventure in the same light. Not because the events...
