  1. This comic's life, sans sleep, in 'Sleepwalk With Me' ★★★

    One night in a La Quinta motel room, comedian and storyteller Mike Birbiglia jumped through a second-story window while acting out one of his dreams, ending up in the hospital with a leg full of broken glass. Well, it's a living. Since then he has turned his adventures in sleep disorders into fodder for his stand-up act, an Off-Broadway solo show, an excerpt on "This American Life," a live comedy album, the title story in his best-selling comic memoir and now, a trim and effective feature film, which Birbiglia co-directed with co-writer Seth Barrish. The only thing left for "Sleepwalk With Me" is to be turned into a Broadway musical, which would require a title change to "Sleepwalk with Me!"

  2. Sleepwalk With Me

    I enjoyed the fact that as a lover of stand-up comedy, I got to see this autobiographical story about a comedian I didn’t know (Mike Birbiglia, who wrote/directed/stars). He wrote this as an off-Broadway play, and it translates nicely to the big screen. It has some problems with the pacing, but it works. That’s because Birbiglia is a likable and neurotic character that’s so Woody Allenish.

  6. 'Scotland, PA.'

    Times Staff Writer
    Whoever assembled the trailer for "Scotland, PA." is nothing less than a miracle worker for extracting a few clips funny enough to suggest that a transposition of "Macbeth" to a small-town roadside cafe in the 1970s just might make for an amusing black...

  7. Snow Falling on Cedars

    TIMES FILM CRITIC
    Wednesday December 22, 1999      The fog is thicker, thicker than you can imagine. The sound of the sea is the only one heard. Out of nowhere, a pair of one-man fishing boats come face to face. Wary, disbelieving, the owners stare at each other--it's not...

  8. The Talented Mr. Ripley

    TIMES FILM CRITIC
    Friday December 24, 1999      "The Talented Mr. Ripley" is a wonderfully accomplished work that's unconvincing at its core. A lack of nerve, or perhaps a difference in temperament between filmmaker and author, has resulted in a beautifully mounted and...

  9. L'Ennui (Boredom)

    TIMES STAFF WRITER
    Friday 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-...

  10. Meet the Parents

    TIMES FILM CRITIC
    Friday October 6, 2000      "Hollywood Boulevard," the outlandish 1976 Joe Dante-Allan Arkush satire on the movie business, featured a studio called Miracle Pictures whose motto was, not surprisingly, "If it's a good picture, it's a miracle." In that...

  11. 'Head of State'

    If Chris Rock ever hires an ace director and screenwriter to shepherd him on his quest toward comedic immortality, he will be a force to reckon with. Until then, though, he's a would-be auteur hoisted on the petard of either aesthetic indifference or sheer inability. No matter how sharp his tongue and honed his delivery, the comic makes for one grievously bad director and almost as regrettable a leading man. His new film, "Head of State," often rocks as hard as its star-director, but as a movie it's the wrong kind of joke.

  12. Independence Day

    TIMES FILM CRITIC
    Tuesday July 2, 1996      "Independence Day" is the Hollywood version of raising the dead. Its frankly spectacular special effects revive a genre that has slept with the fishes since the 1950s, the "Keep watching the skies" epics of destructive alien...
