  1. 'Odd Life of Timothy Green' a tale of a little green sprout ★★ 1/2

    "The Odd Life of Timothy Green" is odd indeed. It comes from writer-director Peter Hedges of "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?" and other pictures, and in pleasing ways as well as some dubious ones, Hedges ranges all over the place in his expansion of a story credited to Ahmet Zappa, Frank's son.

  2. DVD review: 'End of the Road' weirder, more abstract than the book

    John Barth surely ranks among the least screen-adaptable modern (or, perhaps, postmodern) American novelists. His stories are about themselves; the words, their own subject. It's not surprising that only one of his books has made it to the big screen. In fact, what's surprising is that any of them did. On the other hand, Michael Winterbottom managed to turn the least-adaptable novel of all time, Laurence Sterne's “Tristram Shandy,” into the terrific 2005 “Cock and Bull Story,” so I suppose nothing's impossible.

  5. Movie review: 'Christmas in the Clouds'

    Tribune staff reporter
    1 stars (out of four) There's a lot to admire in "Christmas in the Clouds," a family-friendly comedy, with a heavy emphasis on friendly, that premiered at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival. First, there's the marketing campaign: Producers have offered up...

  7. 'Racing Stripes'

    In the live-action talking animal genre, "Racing Stripes" is no "Babe" but should delight youngsters, although parents likely will find it is sentimental in the extreme, with a plot that telegraphs every development. Efficiently directed, however, by Frederik Du Chau from David F. Schmidt's script, the film is populated with endearing animals that are expertly anthropomorphized and that are voiced by, among others, a sprinkling of famous names, including Dustin Hoffman, no less.

  8. 'Christmas With the Kranks'

    Are people serious when they say Hollywood is out of touch with Middle America? Because Columbia Pictures, it appears, is dreaming of a red-state Christmas this year. Adapted by Chris Columbus from John Grisham's "Skipping Christmas," and directed by Revolution Studios head Joe Roth, "Christmas With the Kranks" is a flat parable about the virtues of homespun conformity and the perils of defying family tradition — the kind of family tradition that runs up the credit card balance, helping retailers reach their holiday projections.

  9. 'Snow Dogs'

    Special to The Times
    Remember those live-action Disney features in which Dean Jones or, reaching back earlier, Fred MacMurray would play a hapless grown-up at odds with kids, animals and/or enchanted cars? Good, bad or indifferent, those movies were, for children of a certain...
