'I'll Sleep When I'm Dead'
Times Staff WriterNothing about "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" is as straightforward as it appears.

Its demise looming, Defiant stages `A Clockwork Orange'
Special to the TribuneCall it sci-fi on methamphetamines.

Movie review: 'The Company'

'Never Met Picasso'
Times Staff WriterMargot Kidder is back, looking far too young and beautiful to be the mother of a 30-year-old son, and giving a beguiling performance as an easygoing parent in Stephen Kijak's skittish "Never Met Picasso."
