Haywire
Fox 5 San Diego staffDirector Steven Soderbergh did the highly overrated Contagion last year. And now with this release, he’s telling people he’s retiring from movies soon. I sure hope so, because these last two movies have really disappointed me. This action...Tags: Channing Tatum, Jackie Chan, Steven Soderbergh, Antonio Banderas, Michael Douglas

Unforgettable
TIMES STAFF WRITERFriday February 23, 1996 "Unforgettable" is an unfortunate title, for this over-the-top techno-thriller is likely to become one of director John Dahl's least memorable movies. The problem is that Bill Geddie's script has a way-out gimmick:...Tags: Kim Cattrall, Christopher McDonald, Dino De Laurentiis, David Paymer, Peter Coyote

Jade
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday October 13, 1995 Watching "Jade" is such a hollow experience it's hard to work up the energy to dismiss it. A movie where the car chases have more personality than the people, its monotone acting and recycled plot make one wonder, not for the...Tags: Crimes, Robert Evans, Murder, Cinema Industry, James Horner

Larger Than Life
FOR THE TIMESFriday November 1, 1996 There's an actor's adage about never working with kids or animals, and it might also have taken into account Bill Murray, a scene-stealer of the first rank, whose George Sanders-meets-Joe E. Brown screen persona also makes...Tags: Bill Murray, Animals, Matthew McConaughey, Circuses, Pat Hingle

Kicked in the Head
FOR THE TIMESFriday September 26, 1997 For a filmmaker to use the Hindenburg as a recurring motif, he might as well call his movie "Kicked in the Head." It's like saying, "Go ahead. Hit me." If you insist. "Kicked in the Head" is director-writer...Tags: Crimes, Lower East Side, Matthew Harrison, Kevin Corrigan, Burt Young

'Men in Black'
Times Film CriticGo ahead, admit what you've always suspected: A certain percentage of people met in daily life are so strange, so out-and-out weird, they have to be aliens from another universe. Now, at last, comes a major motion picture that dares to tell you it's all...Tags: Assault, Social Issues, Casablanca (movie), Tony Shalhoub, James Edwards

What Planet Are You From?
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday March 3, 2000 "What Planet Are You From?" is a question this Mike Nichols-directed hybrid ought to be asking itself. Part alien sex comedy, part fake-sensitive look at human relationships, its diverse parts come at you out of everywhere all...Tags: Banking, Greg Kinnear, Television, John Goodman, Sex

'Joy Ride' Takes a Gleefully Scary Trip
TIMES STAFF WRITERJoy Ride," a sly and scary thriller-chiller, is the latest from John Dahl, maestro of neo-noir, and it is terrific escapist fare, stylish, outrageous and compelling. Many have tried but few have been able to draw upon the sardonic fatalism of classic noir...Tags: Leelee Sobieski, Cinema Industry, Vehicles, Paul Walker, Chris Moore

Dogma
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday November 12, 1999 Only someone serious about religion in general and Catholicism in particular could have made "Dogma," but those expecting a modern version of "The Song of Bernadette" or "King of Kings" are going to find themselves dazed and...Tags: Matt Damon, Religious Texts, Christianity, Kevin Smith, Ben Affleck

Luminarias
TIMES STAFF WRITERFriday May 5, 2000 "Luminarias" takes us into a world all too rarely seen on the big screen: that of upwardly mobile Los Angeles Latinas. Instead of barrio poverty, gangs and drugs, we're introduced to four women, longtime friends, whose...Tags: Leelee Sobieski, Jared Leto, National or Ethnic Minorities, Family, Ashley Judd

Center Stage
FOR THE TIMESFriday May 12, 2000 From "The Red Shoes" to "The Turning Point," dramatic films about the ballet world have begged the question: How is it that such a serious and disciplined performing art attracts such silly and chaotic people? The callow...Tags: Leelee Sobieski, Jared Leto, Ashley Judd, Lincoln Center, Jenna Elfman

L'Ennui (Boredom)
TIMES STAFF WRITERFriday October 15, 1999 Cedric Kahn's relentless "L'Ennui" is such a rigorous exploration of sexual obsession that it proves to be a most demanding film. Virtually devoid of eroticism and sensuality, it depicts with the utmost realism a 17-year-...Tags: Leelee Sobieski, Dylan McDermott, Jared Leto, Ashley Judd, Nottingham
