  1. Film Review: A graphic take on 'Parker'

    Among hard-boiled fiction fans, Parker (no first name) — the protagonist of more than 20 novels credited to Richard Stark (one of the many pen names used by Donald E. Westlake) — is an iconic figure. In films, he has been portrayed, with different names and various degrees of faithfulness, by no less than six actors — Lee Marvin, Jim Brown, Robert Duvall, Anna Karina (sort of), Peter Coyote and Mel Gibson, as (respectively) Walker, McClain, Macklin, Nelson, Stone and Porter. Jason Statham is the first on-screen Parker to be called Parker, which may be one reason Taylor Hackford's new film is proudly named (you guessed it) ... “Parker.”

  2. Holiday shopping takes a French twist in South Pasadena

    "<i>Merci beaucoup</i>," said the waiter at Mike & Anne's, a pleasant restaurant on Mission Street in South Pasadena, as my friend Allie and I finished our lattes and paid the bill. Allie had mentioned that there was a distinctive French theme to the shops and eateries in her neighborhood, but this seemed over-the-top. It was 11 a.m., already too late to get a <i>pan au chocolat </i> at the prepared-food shop and cafe Nicole's Gourmet Foods nearby (they usually sell out by 10), but it was the perfect time to start shopping for gifts. We started at Camille DePedrini, a special-occasion store with pricey but elegant accessories. Allie liked the black-lace gloves ($25) and an oversized, geometric print change purse, and I loved the jewel-colored clutches by Hoss, which had a playful elegance.

  3. Hollywood rarely did Donald Westlake justice

    One of the enigmas in the long and rich career of Donald E. Westlake was that this author of more than 100 novels, many of them popular, accessible and plot-driven works of crime fiction, both grim and comic, received such a spotty handling by Hollywood.

  4. 'Pierrot le Fou'

    Special to The Times
    Jean-Luc Godard's films have always reflected the times in which they were made with their acute, even startling ability to evoke self-recognition, yet so rich and far-ranging are their concerns that it is hardly surprising they seem timeless. Such is the...

  6. Movie review: 'Une Femme Est une Femme' ('A Woman is a Woman')

    Chicago Tribune Movie Critic
    4 stars (out of 4) Filmmaking, Jean Cocteau once said, is the art that shows death at work - and it's also the art that can return its makers to the days of their youth. "Une Femme Est une Femme" ("A Woman is a Woman"), Jean-Luc Godard's second feature...

  7. 'Band of Outsiders' (1964)

    Times Film Critic
    In the thirty-five years since its American release, Jean-Luc Godard's lyrical gangster romance "Band of Outsiders" has been as difficult to revisit as it is impossible to forget. Starting today, the first part of that equation is going to change. Rialto...

  8. Payback

    TIMES FILM CRITIC
    Friday February 5, 1999      "Parker steals. Parker kills. It's a living." Or so claimed the paperback blurb copy for the series of drop-dead hard-boiled novels about a nerveless professional criminal that Donald Westlake wrote in the 1960s and '70s...

  12. Up/Down/Fragile

    TIMES STAFF WRITER
    Friday May 30, 1997      "Up/Down/Fragile," which launches a series of French films at the Grande 4-Plex, is not like any musical you have ever seen, but then its director, New Wave pioneer Jacques Rivette, is not like other filmmakers, either.      ...
