Movie review: Poseidon'

Fast-Paised review: Poseidon'

Air Force One
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday July 25, 1997 No, Harrison Ford isn't the president, not even a candidate for the job, but given the chance, who wouldn't vote for him in a Beltway minute?

Red Corner
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday October 31, 1997 Its population is estimated at 1.2 billion, but China only sounds like a large and powerful country. In fact this would-be colossus is no match at all for Richard Gere when he gets his dander up. Or so "Red Corner" would have...Tags: International Law, International Court or Tribunal, China, Eyewear, Hotels and Accommodations

Instinct
FOR THE TIMESFriday June 4, 1999 Anthony Hopkins may no longer hold the title of World's Greatest English-Speaking Film Actor (the un-Oscared Ian McKellen would seem the better candidate, given Hopkins' recent, careless choices), but he's still a weighty,...Tags: Maura Tierney, Milos Forman, Romance (genre), Ian McKellen, Anthony Hopkins

The Perfect Storm
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday June 30, 2000 "The Perfect Storm" didn't get its name by being nice.

Wilmington's winners
Perhaps we expect too much from the first year of a movie millennium. Already, there are complaints -- as there are each year, no matter how the movies are finally judged -- about 2000. And yet I think 2000 was a 12-month span of films that will be...Tags: William Faulkner, The Wizard of Oz (movie, 1939), Clint Eastwood, Michelle Yeoh, Mike Figgis

The two...Tags: Holidays, Star Wars (movie), Air and Space Accidents, Gaming, Revolutions

Movie review: 'Troy'
Chicago Tribune Movie Critic4 stars (out of 4) "Troy"--Wolfgang Petersen's spectacular, literate saga of the Trojan War -may have been preposterously expensive ($175 million or so), but it's also in a league with Hollywood's top historical epics, ancient or otherwise. It's...Tags: Peter O'Toole, Diane Kruger, Brian Cox, Eric Bana, Sean Bean

'The Endurance: Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition'
Times Film CriticIt started, so the story goes, with a small ad in a newspaper: "Men wanted for harsh journey, small wages, bitter cold."
