Winning transformations in films
Baltimore SunFor all the attention it's been getting, you'd think Nicole Kidman's nose was the star of "The Hours," the much-acclaimed film about three women whose lives are affected by the works of author Virginia Woolf.

The comeback player
Times Staff WriterIn Hollywood, the actor is the last to know, Alec Baldwin says, recalling a period in his career when "rigor mortis" crept in. It was the late 1990s.

'Swept Away'
Times Staff WriterDon't blame her--well, at least, not too much. Granted, it was Madonna who agreed to star in her writer-director husband's remake of Lina Wertmüller's grimly unfunny "Swept Away ... by an unusual destiny in the blue sea of August." Apparently she and Guy...Tags: Movies, Crimes, Elizabeth Banks, Entertainment, Guy Ritchie

The Island of Dr. Moreau
TIMES STAFF WRITERFriday August 23, 1996 The disastrous new version of H.G. Wells' "The Island of Dr. Moreau" at least affords Marlon Brando a grand entrance and a great comic portrayal.

The Underneath
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday April 28, 1995 "The Underneath" doesn't add up. Made with polish and assurance, capably acted and intricately constructed, its overall impact is less than these parts would indicate. It is good but, against all logic, it is not good enough....Tags: Vehicles, Steven Soderbergh, Alison Elliott, Movies, Joe Don Baker
