'Are We There Yet?'
Times Staff Writer"Are We There Yet?" gets nowhere. Its star Ice Cube remains characteristically amiable, but this thuddingly miscalculated comedy is way beneath him. The filmmakers clearly intend a family comedy about the lengths to which a guy who doesn't like kids will...Tags: Ice Cube, New Year's Day, Comedy (genre), PG Rated Movies, Children

Movie review: 'Saw'
TRIBUNE STAFF REPORTER3 stars (out of 4) Director James Wan's "Saw" is a nasty, nasty piece of business. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

'Hipmas Carol' bops without pickin' on Dickens
Special to the TribuneThere's enough figgy pudding on local stages this time of year to send half the metropolitan area into insulin shock, and enough dyspeptic anti-holiday offerings to keep the Bah Humbuggers happy as well. But for those who truly enjoy the deeper meaning of...Tags: Broadway Theater, Family, Theater, Entertainment

Arabian Knight
TIMES STAFF WRITERMonday August 28, 1995 "Arabian Knight" is a charmer for children but is a bit too simple a tale to hold adult attention.
