'Black Cloud'
!["Black Cloud" is a modest, straightforward but affecting coming-of-age story about a young Navajo with a real talent for boxing but who is also his own worst enemy. It marks a solid writing and directing debut for actor Rick Schroder, and it is above all a fine showcase for Eddie Spears, a handsome, well-muscled Lakota Sioux with a smoldering screen presence. Navajo Nation locales, including sequences set in Monument Valley and Canyon de Chelly, provide the film's photogenic settings.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2005-03/16638881.jpg ""Black Cloud\" is a modest, straightforward but affecting coming-of-age story about a young Navajo with a real talent for boxing but who is also his own worst enemy.

Somewhere in the City

Rosetta
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday November 26, 1999 "Rosetta" grabs you by the throat and won't let go.

'The Legend of Suriyothai'
Times Staff WriterIt's hard to talk about "The Legend of Suriyothai," the most ambitious Thai film ever made, without sounding like a carnival pitchman screaming factoids that a showman like Cecil B.

'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'
![There's not much of the blithe spirit in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" that made "Star Wars" and even old "Flash Gordon" serials such fun. Amid a stupefying barrage of fantastic images involving all manner of special effects, spectacular production design and amazing creatures, there's a torrent of talk, much of it of an obscure scientific nature and all of it delivered with a parched, insouciant British wit.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2005-04/17348010.jpg "There's not much of the blithe spirit in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy\" that made \"Star Wars\" and even old \"Flash Gordon\" serials such fun.
