102 Dalmatians
TIMES STAFF WRITERWednesday November 22, 2000 "102 Dalmatians" is 101 too many, but that's not likely to deter anyone who enjoyed the 1996 "101 Dalmatians," which in turn was a lavish live-action remake of Disney's much-loved 1961 animated classic. Still, you can't...Tags: Fashion Shows, Jeff Daniels, Alice Evans, England, Eric Idle

'Dr. Dolittle 2'
Times Film CriticThis is turning into Eddie Murphy's creature feature summer, but if you had to pick between the actor playing an animal or simply talking to them, "Dr. Dolittle 2" is not the film to choose. Yet even if it wasn't burdened with an addiction to...Tags: Eddie Murphy, Wildlife, Natural Resources, Endangered Species, Kevin Pollak

'Scooby-Doo'
Times Staff WriterThe movie version of "Scooby-Doo" has been hanging like a threat over the happy childhood memories of my funky '70s TV-watching habits. Like so much other pop-culture--"Star Wars," "Josie and the Pussycats," "Rocky & Bullwinkle"--would the cool crime...Tags: Hanna-Barbera Productions, Inc., DVDs and Movies, Sarah Michelle Gellar, James Gunn, John Goodman

'Are We There Yet?'
Times Staff Writer"Are We There Yet?" gets nowhere. Its star Ice Cube remains characteristically amiable, but this thuddingly miscalculated comedy is way beneath him. The filmmakers clearly intend a family comedy about the lengths to which a guy who doesn't like kids will...Tags: Jay Mohr, Nia Long, Children, Comedy (genre), Entertainment

Movie review, 'Ice Age'
John Leguizamo, an actor of almost dizzying versatility, can do lots of good things in diverse formats, from scintillating one-man multi-character stage shows like "Freak" and "Mambo Mouth" to great roaring musicals like "Moulin Rouge," where he's a pop...Tags: Denis Leary, Gaming, Ray Romano, Nathan Lane, Toy Story (movie)

"Nutty Professor II: The Klumps
Eddie Murphy has another huge-grinning triumph playing the title role in "Nutty Professor II: The Klumps." And so do the seven other Eddie Murphys, all acting up a storm alongside him in this wild multiple-role showcase. Reprising his juicy, lovable...Tags: Eddie Murphy, Alcoholic Beverages, Chicago Tribune, Jerry Lewis, DNA

Movie review, 'Death to Smoochy'
Even if you hate Barney the Dinosaur and similar kiddie-TV vacuities to distraction, you'll probably have problems with "Death to Smoochy," a dark comedy that blows up like an exploding cigar, leaving nothing much behind but smoke, noise and a bad taste....Tags: PBS (tv network), Vincent Schiavelli, Jon Stewart, Robin Williams, Catherine Keener

Movie review, 'The Affair of the Necklace'
The success of period pieces usually depends on the fortuitous merging of key elements, ranging from the right director working with an intelligent script, to actors who are suitable not just for their individual roles, but also the distinctive tone of...Tags: Christopher Walken, Adrien Brody, Jonathan Pryce, Hilary Swank, Movies

Movie review, 'Life or Something Like It'
Angelina Jolie has the kind of insolent glow most of the classic bad-girl screen beauties had: Dietrich, Monroe, Bardot. But in a way, Jolie is also the James Dean of modern young female movie stars: explosive and innocent, vulnerable and scary, defiantly...Tags: James Dean, Football, Christian Kane, Chicago Tribune, Edward Burns

'Ice Age'
Times Staff WriterYou could call "Ice Age" "'Shrek' With Frostbite" or "'Monsters, Inc.' on Ice," and you wouldn't be far off. That's how closely this new computer-animated film duplicates and combines the plots of its predecessors. No, this tale of interspecies...Tags: Denis Leary, Animation (genre), Academy Awards, Ray Romano, Gaming

Movie review: 'Duplex'
Chicago Tribune Movie Critic2-1/2 stars (out of 4) In New York City, life can be awful and work can be hell. But renting can be worse, as director Danny DeVito and stars Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore try to show in "Duplex." Can the agony of apartment-finding in today's greed-...Tags: Wallace Shawn, Miramax Films, Swoosie Kurtz, Ben Stiller, Entertainment

Movie review: 'Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed'
Chicago Tribune Staff Writer1 star (out of 4) When critics say a film is "cartoony," it's often an insult. The term has become shorthand for poorly plotted movies populated by two-dimensional characters and pumped full of superficial action and bright colors. On all counts,...Tags: Hanna-Barbera Productions, Inc., Seth MacFarlane, Sarah Michelle Gellar, James Gunn, Peter Boyle
