Runaway Bride
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday July 30, 1999 You've got to kiss a lot of frogs, contemporary T-shirts insist, to come up with a prince, and anyone eager to see Julia Roberts kissing Richard Gere in "Runaway Bride" will also leave with a bad taste in their mouths. ...Tags: Newspaper and Magazine, Rita Wilson, Family, Social Issues, Movies

'Looney Tunes: Back in Action'
Times Staff WriterSoon after the comedy "Looney Tunes: Back in Action" opens, Daffy Duck riffles through another script in which he gets the short end of the carrot stick.

Cradle Will Rock
TIMES FILM CRITICWednesday December 8, 1999 "Those who cannot remember the past," philosopher George Santayana wrote, "are condemned to repeat it," and writer-director Tim Robbins has no intention of letting anyone forget.

Beyond the Clouds
TIMES STAFF WRITERFriday December 3, 1999 In recent years, Italy's grand master, Michelangelo Antonioni, has been largely silenced by a 1985 stroke that has left his speech impaired but from which he otherwise recovered.

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.

Center Stage

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.

Where the Heart Is
TIMES STAFF WRITERFriday April 28, 2000 "Where the Heart Is" plays like a feature-length version of one of those folksy commercials for Wal-Mart, where customers are greeted with big smiles and warm hugs.

'Looney Tunes' scatters the laughs
Sentinel Movie CriticPity poor Daffy Duck, eternal also-ran of Warners' world.

The movie comes...Tags: John Corbett, Movies, Manhattan (New York City), Sex, Comedy (genre)
