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: Lesley Ann Warren, Kristin Scott Thomas, Elaine Hendrix, Harry Dean Stanton, Eugene Byrd

'The Reckoning'
![In the medieval thriller "The Reckoning," the young English actor Paul Bettany plays a priest on the lam. Caught with his vestments around his ankles, Bettany's Nicholas has fled his old parish life for the secular road, the law in hot pursuit. Not long afterward, he stumbles on an acting troupe that grudgingly welcomes him into their company. When the actors in turn stumble onto a mystery — a boy lies dead and a woman stands accused — what began as an offbeat character study rapidly turns into an episode of "Law and Order: The Dark Ages."](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2004-03/11681827.jpg "In the medieval thriller "The Reckoning,\" the young English actor Paul Bettany plays a priest on the lam.

'Around the World in 80 Days'
!["Around the World in 80 Days" sails along on a slipstream of pleasant scenery, amusing incident and the boundless charms of its appealing leading men, Jackie Chan and Steve Coogan: It's an unexpectedly buoyant spectacular. Based on the Jules Verne novel, the basis of a 2-ton turkey from 1956 with David Niven, this light entertainment suggests that the class of movie known as "the family film" — think Fred MacMurray and a talking dog — has yet to be vanquished by product placements, vulgarity and unnecessary violence. It may never be hip to be square, but as this genial film attests sometimes it's sweet relief.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2004-06/13051097.jpg ""Around the World in 80 Days\" sails along on a slipstream of pleasant scenery, amusing incident and the boundless charms of its appealing leading men, Jackie Chan and Steve Coogan: It's an unexpectedly buoyant spectacular.

'Alien vs. Predator'
![In Paul W.S. Anderson's "Alien vs. Predator," two famously nasty extraterrestrial species (and 20th Century Fox franchises) are pitted against each other in a heated battle royale to control a large, Rubik's Cube-like pyramid in Antarctica, 2,000 feet below the surface of the Earth. Given the particular characteristics of these two aliens — one is an incubating parasite, the other is an armored hunter fortified to the teeth with rotary saws and whatnot — the movie had an opportunity to raise some broader philosophical questions about the nature of evil. Does it coil deep within us or come at us with a retractable spear? Anyway, it passed on that.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2004-08/13813413.jpg "In Paul W.S.
