Winning transformations in films

The comeback player
Times Staff WriterIn Hollywood, the actor is the last to know, Alec Baldwin says, recalling a period in his career when "rigor mortis" crept in. It was the late 1990s.

'Swept Away'
Times Staff WriterDon't blame her--well, at least, not too much. Granted, it was Madonna who agreed to star in her writer-director husband's remake of Lina Wertmüller's grimly unfunny "Swept Away ... by an unusual destiny in the blue sea of August." Apparently she and Guy...Tags: Assault, Philosophy, Matthew Vaughn, Elizabeth Banks, Entertainment

The Island of Dr. Moreau
TIMES STAFF WRITERFriday August 23, 1996 The disastrous new version of H.G. Wells' "The Island of Dr. Moreau" at least affords Marlon Brando a grand entrance and a great comic portrayal.

The Underneath
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday April 28, 1995 "The Underneath" doesn't add up.

It is good but, against all logic, it is not good enough....Tags: Paul Dooley, Gramercy, Cinema Industry, Passenger Cars, Vehicles
