'Little Children'
![About halfway through Todd Field's deeply resonant "Little Children," adulterous suburban lovers Sarah and Brad (Kate Winslet and Patrick Wilson) indulge in something really naughty: They join in a moment of mass moral panic and righteous ostracism at the community pool. The cheerful chaos has just been obliterated by the discovery that the goggled and flippered town pervert, Ronnie McGorvey (Jackie Earle Haley), has slipped into the water among the kids. Sarah spots him first, then awareness sweeps over the crowd like a wave. Parents rush poolside, children scramble out of the water or get plucked out by the armpits, babies start to wail. It's as if the shark from "Jaws" had finally found a way to justify decades of collective primal fear. Wrapping their arms around their kids, Sarah and Brad instinctively join the crowd. They may be guilty, but McGorvey, mercifully for them, is guilty of much worse.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2006-10/25752897.jpg "About halfway through Todd Field's deeply resonant "Little Children,\" adulterous suburban lovers Sarah and Brad (Kate Winslet and Patrick Wilson) indulge in something really naughty: They join in a moment of mass moral panic and righteous ostracism at the community pool.

'Beyond Borders'
Times Staff WriterI don't want to make fun of "Beyond Borders," really I don't. Even if its title sounds like an ad campaign for Barnes & Noble. Even if its heroine is accurately described — by herself — as "Little Miss Bleeding Heart." Even if it has lines...Tags: Linus Roache, Gaming, Angelina Jolie, Clive Owen, Refugee

The Truman Show
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday June 5, 1998 His gifts as a comic actor are well-known, but who would have thought that Jim Carrey might simultaneously break your heart as easily as he makes you laugh?

L'Ennui (Boredom)
TIMES STAFF WRITERFriday 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-...Tags: Forest Whitaker, Liam Aiken, Meryl Streep, Ralph Fiennes, Arliss Howard

Frequency
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday April 28, 2000 "The past is a funny thing," John Sullivan (Jim Caviezel) says in "Frequency," an effective but finally overreaching science-fiction thriller, but even he doesn't yet appreciate just how out of the ordinary it can be. ...Tags: Science, Television, Gregory Hoblit, Dennis Quaid, Science and Technology

'Cellular'
![Action thrillers are fun when filmmakers teeter at the edge of implausibility — without slipping over it. If "Collateral" is an excellent example of how to go right up to the brink with finesse, "Cellular" illustrates what happens when a viable premise is spoiled by sheer preposterousness. The movie strains to divert audiences but short-changes them instead.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2004-09/14184519.jpg "Action thrillers are fun when filmmakers teeter at the edge of implausibility — without slipping over it.
