Safer movies, less moxie at New Line
Times Staff WriterAlexander Payne is a final-cut director, which means that when he showed New Line Cinema his new Jack Nicholson film, "About Schmidt," it was essentially the movie he wanted released. But rather than defer to the Oscar-nominated "Election" filmmaker,...Tags: Harry Potter (fictional character), Cinema Industry, Will Ferrell, Academy Awards, Arts and Culture

Boogie Nights
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday October 17, 1997 Welcome to the movies, but not the kind that advertise in family newspapers. Movies without development deals, agents or talky scripts, where crews are small and lighting is haphazard because the director understands "there...Tags: Philip Seymour Hoffman, Mark Wahlberg, Health, Joanna Gleason, Cinema Industry

'Starsky & Hutch'
![Aside from their tight jeans and hot wheels, the 1970s television team of "Starsky & Hutch" always seemed hopelessly dorky to me. Maybe it was their dry look (or those tight jeans), but David Soul (as Hutch) and Paul Michael Glaser (Starsky) didn't come off as any more exciting, authentic or watchable than producer Aaron Spelling's distaff detectives on "Charlie's Angels." Next to Jim Rockford, who was trolling for trouble on SoCal's mean sun-soaked streets at the same time, these blow-dried hair models looked like a joke.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2004-03/11681823.jpg "Aside from their tight jeans and hot wheels, the 1970s television team of "Starsky & Hutch\" always seemed hopelessly dorky to me.

'Mr. Deeds'
Times Staff WriterIt must be great fun to be a pal of Adam Sandler's. Being a member of his audience is considerably less of a treat. "Mr. Deeds," Sandler's latest film, was put on paper by Tim Herlihy, said to be the star's college roommate, who's written or co-written...Tags: Education, Peter Gallagher, Movies, Manhattan (New York City), Entertainment

'8 Mile': What sizzled has fizzled at voting time
Times Staff WriterIn Hollywood, if you can't get someone's attention, you can always try to buy it. Witness the unusual ad campaign that Universal Pictures is mounting on behalf of "8 Mile," starring Eminem. The film opened in November to strong reviews from some of the...Tags: Cinema Industry, Eddie Murphy, Harvey Weinstein, Politics, Sony Corp.

'Anger Management'
![Ever dread a dental appointment that didn't turn out to be as painful as anticipated? "Gee," you say when the drilling stops, "that could have been worse." And so it is with the haphazard Jack Nicholson-Adam Sandler vehicle, "Anger Management."](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2003-04/7357821.jpg "Ever dread a dental appointment that didn't turn out to be as painful as anticipated?

Magnolia
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday December 17, 1999 "Magnolia" is drunk and disorderly on the pure joy of making movies. A frantic, flawed, fascinating film that is both impressive and a bit out of control, often at the same time, "Magnolia" may occasionally overshoot its...Tags: Television, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Cinema Industry, Philip Baker Hall, Julianne Moore

'Wonderland'
Times Staff WriterThe late porn star John C. Holmes was known for exactly one thing — one freakishly big thing. That big thing made him famous during the 1970s and, from the evidence of his pathetic rise and fall, it's what made him believe he could beat the odds. He...Tags: Health, Josh Lucas, Los Angeles, Val Kilmer, Murder

'The Last Samurai'
![In director Edward Zwick's sweeping sentimental fiction "The Last Samurai," the most modern of all screen stars, Tom Cruise, plays an embittered 1870s U.S. Army captain spiritually reborn by embracing the Way of the Samurai. Recruited by Japanese businessmen to help usher their country into its modern militaristic age, Cruise's captain finds himself entranced by Japan's romantic warrior caste, an infatuation that his director — fully besotted by movie-made Japan — enables by embracing the Way of the Hollywood Historical Epic.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2003-12/10487809.jpg "In director Edward Zwick's sweeping sentimental fiction "The Last Samurai,\" the most modern of all screen stars, Tom Cruise, plays an embittered 1870s U.S. Army captain spiritually reborn by embracing the Way of the Samurai.

After summer of flops, a season of quality?
Sun Movie CriticHail, hail, the "Gang"'s finally here. That would be "Gangs of New York", Martin Scorsese's long-awaited latest, an epic tale of love and loyalties, played out among the rival immigrant groups of 19th-century New York City.
