  3. Letters from a legend ... will Daniel Craig be 'tattooed' again?

    Liz Smith
    "SHE'S a bang bang boogie!" said Jamie Foxx, the dynamite star of "Django Unchained," of the one and only Beyonce. We'd already written our accolade to the Queen of the Super Bowl, but I couldn't resist this quote. THE OTHER day this column went off the...

  5. Movie gangsters so bad they're good

    One hundred and one years ago, D.W. Griffith gave us "The Musketeers of Pig Alley," often credited as the first gangster film, and once sound came in, nothing hooked movie audiences during the early 1930s more reliably than Edward G. Robinson or James Cagney doing harm to their rivals and, for a while, eluding the law while enjoying the spoils of their own private wars.

  7. Film review: Enjoy the silents in the 'The Artist'

    Hollywood doesn't make very many films about itself, let alone paeans to its ancient history. So how can we explain two such titles opening simultaneously — on the very same day — last month? I swore I wouldn't use the hack phrase “love letter to the cinema,” even though it's exactly appropriate for both Martin Scorsese's wonderful “Hugo” (reviewed here last week) and Michel Hazanavicius's even more wonderful “The Artist.”

  8. Southern California Close-Ups: Going Hollywood

    Pity the rubes. Those wayward tourists who dawdle in their cars and tour buses along Beachwood Drive, enraging the locals as they haltingly seek that perfect Hollywood sign photo op — they know not what they do. Maybe you're not from this neighborhood either, but you have savvier Hollywood plans.

  10. The Nature of Things: Two films explore fundamental questions

    A brutal attack in the dead of night—the recurring nightmare of Henry (Rick Gomez), a successful novelist with a loving wife (Vinessa Shaw). After a farewell party thrown by his publisher (Bryan Cranston), Henry goes into isolation at his remote second home to try to turn his anxieties into fiction.

But is the man who he claims to be?
