Lew Archer is back on the case
Los Angeles Times Staff WriterHe wasn't the hardest of the hard-boiled or the toughest of the tough guys. But Lew Archer, the often melancholy hero of a series of acclaimed detective novels by Ross Macdonald, matched his biting asides with a humane worldview, a love of the underdog...Tags: New York, Family, Crimes, University of California, Irvine, Eudora Welty

'Hearts in Atlantis'
Times Film CriticStephen King is a writer with an eye for the grotesque, never at a loss for a strange way to make somebody die. Scott Hicks, director of "Shine" and "Snow Falling on Cedars," is a filmmaker of noticeable, at times overwhelming, gentility. They do not seem...Tags: David Morse, Scott Hicks, Norman Rockwell, Anthony Hopkins, Space Programs

Oscar, Harvey are seeing eye to eye
Times Staff WriterHarvey Weinstein has a secret weapon. For all of his unpopularity in Hollywood, his personal taste turns out to almost exactly mirror that of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Weinstein is not holding his nose with one hand and beating the...Tags: Crimes, New York, Harvey Weinstein, Finland, Academy Awards

The General's Daughter
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday June 18, 1999 Like a sinking fly ball that converging outfielders can't quite reach, "The General's Daughter" is what baseball announcers call a 'tweener. A middling, so-so thriller about a murder investigation on an Army base, it falls to...Tags: Crimes, John Travolta, Joe Campbell, James Cromwell, Crime, Law and Justice

Chew. Spit. Repeat.
For the TimesLooking back, the truest sign that then-Vivendi Universal honcho Jean-Marie Messier was toast may have come when he showed up for a public forum at the Beverly Hilton two years ago with Viacom Chief Executive Sumner Redstone and other entertainment...Tags: Family, The Walt Disney Co., Steaks, Bing Crosby, University of California, Irvine

'No Way' to stage a musical
Tribune arts reporterBased on a novel by William Goldman, Douglas J. Cohen's 1987 off-Broadway musical "No Way to Treat a Lady" has a pseudo-Freudian, murder-thriller narrative that lands with a thump somewhere between "Psycho" and "Dressed to Kill." Yet Cohen's chirpy...Tags: New York, Crimes, Unrest, Conflicts and War, Comedy (genre), Theater

'Dreamcatcher'
!["Dreamcatcher" is not only based on a Stephen King novel, the first he wrote after his near-fatal 1999 accident; the experience of watching it also uncannily duplicates what it feels like to read one. Which is sometimes, but not always, a good thing.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2003-03/7074394.jpg ""Dreamcatcher\" is not only based on a Stephen King novel, the first he wrote after his near-fatal 1999 accident; the experience of watching it also uncannily duplicates what it feels like to read one.

The Chamber
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday October 11, 1996 Don't blame "The Chamber." It's not its fault. Really. It's not its fault that it's the third recent film (after "Dead Man Walking" and "Last Dance") to focus on last-minute efforts to postpone the execution of a...Tags: Executive Branch, O.J. Simpson, Joel Schumacher, Ron Howard, Bo Jackson

The Ghost and the Darkness
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday October 11, 1996 "I am epic, hear me roar" is what the lion-centered "The Ghost and the Darkness" would have you believe. The reality is more like an acceptably loud noise than a true roar, but so few films venture into the old-fashioned...Tags: Employees, Ghost (movie), Gale Anne Hurd, Butch Cassidy, Gaming

Absolute Power
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday February 14, 1997 "Absolute Power's" opening close-up of a painting by El Greco, an impeccable old master, is dead-on appropriate. For the pleasures of this sleek and satisfying entertainment come from the position of its director and star,...Tags: Crimes, Family, Ed Harris, Washington (U.S. state), Dennis Haysbert

Dolores Claiborne
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday March 24, 1995 Like a frightening situation from one of the man's own novels, no power on Earth can apparently stop the zombielike progression of Stephen King books to the screen. Page-turners usually make for engrossing films, but with...Tags: Family, Crimes, John C. Reilly, Kathy Bates, Donovan
