'The Guru'
![A gaudy, raucous romp, "The Guru" tracks the misadventures of an Indian actor who travels to an America where Bollywood meets Hollywood by way of the Macarena. Directed by Daisy von Scherler Mayer and written by Tracey Jackson, the silliness begins percolating in Delhi, India, with a dance instructor named Ramu (Jimi Mistry) corralling a roomful of matrons swathed in saris the color of saffron and green apple.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2003-01/6436770.jpg "A gaudy, raucous romp, "The Guru\" tracks the misadventures of an Indian actor who travels to an America where Bollywood meets Hollywood by way of the Macarena.

TIMES FILM CRITICWednesday December 23, 1998 For months and even years after World War II officially ended, gaunt, sepulchral figures would periodically emerge from the jungles of some South Pacific island--isolated Japanese soldiers who either hadn't known the...Tags: John Cusack, Terrence Malick, John Savage, Ben Chaplin, Jared Leto

julien donkey-boy
TIMES STAFF WRITERFriday October 15, 1999 Harmony Korine's "julien donkey-boy," a film of piercing beauty and pain, takes its title from a thin, intense schizophrenic of perhaps 20.

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. Virtually devoid of eroticism and sensuality, it depicts with the utmost realism a 17-year-...Tags: Asia Argento, Molly Shannon, Elaine Hendrix, Kristin Scott Thomas, Pierre Arditi

'The Day After Tomorrow'
![Have we lost our appetite for cinematic destruction — for watching our world shatter into smithereens? I ask because in two of his previous films, "Independence Day" and "Godzilla," Roland Emmerich laid waste to the world — leveling its great cities and zapping the White House — with the unbounded glee of a rampaging puppy. In his latest special-effects onslaught, "The Day After Tomorrow," the filmmaker again wipes out enormous swaths of humanity and real estate, but this time the overall tone is funereal, sober. It's the end of the world as we know it and no one feels fine.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2004-05/12809059.jpg "Have we lost our appetite for cinematic destruction — for watching our world shatter into smithereens?

'Connie and Carla'
!["Connie and Carla" proves Nia Vardalos, creator and star of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," was no flash in the pan. Boldly reworking the "Some Like It Hot" plot, with a nod to "Victor/Victoria" and "La Cage aux Folles," Vardalos has come up with a crowd-pleaser that is entirely her own, and in the process has written terrific parts for herself and Toni Collette. In Michael Lembeck, Vardalos has found the ideal director to respect her all-stops-out, heart-on-her-sleeve sensibility yet temper it with nuance and variety. The result is pure, unabashed and unpretentious entertainment of a sort once a staple of the movies but now rare.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2004-04/12252154.jpg ""Connie and Carla\" proves Nia Vardalos, creator and star of \"My Big Fat Greek Wedding,\" was no flash in the pan.
