Movie review: 'Ocean's Twelve'

The Big Hit
FOR THE TIMESFriday April 24, 1998 Hong Kong director Che-Kirk Wong's first American feature, "The Big Hit," is that rarest of all genre hybrids, the screwball-romantic-action-situation-black comedy.

Movie review: 'A Foreign Affair'
Tribune Staff Reporter2-1/2 stars (out of 4) If Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear can be conjoined twins in "Stuck on You," then perhaps it's not so strange for mismatched Tim Blake Nelson and David Arquette to be cast as farm boy brothers in "A Foreign Affair."
