The Mod Squad
TIMES STAFF WRITERFriday March 26, 1999 Don't go to "The Mod Squad" expecting a replication of the TV series that ran from 1968 to 1973, for director Scott Silver and his co-writers have delivered something better than nostalgia. Using the series premise, which takes...Tags: Giovanni Ribisi, Cinema Industry, Los Angeles Police Department, Television, Crimes

Kadosh
TIMES STAFF WRITERFriday March 17, 2000 Amos Gitai's somber, elegiac "Kadosh," which means "sacred" in Yiddish, takesus into the sequestered world of Mea Shearim, the Orthodox Jewish quarter of Jerusalem, where its devout citizens are committed to preserving an...Tags: Georgia, Michael Douglas, Giovanni Ribisi, Frank Langella, Selma Blair

The Ninth Gate
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday March 10, 2000 Better than Harrison Ford, John Travolta or even Leonardo DiCaprio, getting the devil involved in your picture is a sure way of getting it made. Not necessarily as a producer or financial backer (though that probably wouldn't...Tags: Georgia, Tilda Swinton, Giovanni Ribisi, Michael Douglas, Frank Langella

Reindeer Games
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday February 25, 2000 "Reindeer Games" is genre all the way, a standard brand updated with the requisite modern touches. Its twisty film noir world of down-on-their-luck men and unfathomable women is vintage B-picture material, but, in the...Tags: Celebrities, Christmas, Gary Sinise, Robert DeNiro, Movies

Beautiful People

'Condo Painting' Presents an Intriguing Look at Artist
TIMES STAFF WRITERFriday March 17, 2000 John McNaughton's documentary "Condo Painting" sounds like a put-on, and in a way it is, even though that title refers not to an apartment house getting a face lift but to a witty study of artist George Condo at work. A boyish-...Tags: Georgia, Michael Douglas, Giovanni Ribisi, Frank Langella, Selma Blair

Snatch
TIMES FILM CRITICWednesday December 6, 2000 A sense of the familiar hangs over "Snatch," which, for a picture as slick, quick and light-fingered as this one, is definitely an odd thing to remark on. But for those with fond memories of writer-director Guy...Tags: John Murphy, Brad Pitt, Guy Ritchie, New York, Judaism

'Paparazzi'
![There's no question that certain celebrity photographers go to such wretched extremes in invading the privacy of movie stars that it's hard not to have sympathy for a provoked actor when he takes a punch. It's also hardly surprising that a movie star with privacy issues of his own, Mel Gibson, is the lead producer on "Paparazzi," which opened Friday without advance screenings, thus avoiding an opening day review.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2004-09/14130720.jpg "There's no question that certain celebrity photographers go to such wretched extremes in invading the privacy of movie stars that it's hard not to have sympathy for a provoked actor when he takes a punch.

TV: Fall Of The Familiar

'Stealing Harvard'
Times Staff Writer"Stealing Harvard" is an act of grand theft--the way it wastes your time is a crime. It's so bad that you have to wonder whether Tom Green was looking for a project to match last year's "Freddy Got Fingered," which he directed and which ended up on many...Tags: Theft, Movies, Crimes, Bruce McCulloch, Martin Hynes

'Sidewalks of New York'
Special To The TimesIt's easy to see why Edward Burns' "Sidewalks of New York" was postponed from its September opening date. In one of the first scenes, you can see the late World Trade Center, looming majestically, directly over Burns' right shoulder. Which wouldn't be...Tags: Anchovies, Stanley Tucci, Transportation, Edward Burns, Comedy (genre)
