  1. Tim Roth gives clinics on how to be the villain

    WITH HIS 1982 film debut as a window-smashing skinhead teen in "Made in Britain" and his Oscar-nominated sadist fop in the Highlands period drama " Rob Roy," Tim Roth has routinely been considered one of film's most exciting performers.

  2. 'Honeydripper' is a swinging good time

    <b>(B+)</b> From his home base in New Jersey to Louisiana, Texas, Alaska and Florida, novelist-turned-filmmaker John Sayles has crisscrossed the country weaving sprawling stories in such films as City of Hope, Passion Fish, Lone Star, Limbo and Sunshine State.

  5. Review: 'Two Thousand Years'

    &quot;Two Thousand Years" was a very big deal in London in 2005. This was, after all, a new play by Mike Leigh - best known here as the English author and director of such ravishingly detailed, close-to-the-bone films as "Secrets and Lies," "Vera Drake" and "Topsy-Turvy."

  6. Hollywood's recent films about unwed mothers

It began, more or less, with last year's &quot;Waitress," continued on to "Knocked Up" and "Bella" and, of course, the sleeper hit "Juno," which last week grabbed four Oscar nominations. Earlier this month, Ricki Lake's documentary on home births, "The Business of Being Born," hit theaters. Even Chachi is in on the act, with his latest reality TV yawner, "Scott Baio Is 46 ... and Pregnant."
