Before completely losing his mind, vision, and looks, an AIDS sufferer throws a two-day goodbye bash to be capped by his suicide. Inadequate writing and directing (Randal Kleiser, both jobs) transform a painful and complex subject into a simple embarrassment. With Eric Roberts, Gregory Harrison, Margaret Cho, Bronson Pinchot, Lee …
Considering all the cuteness afoot in Girl Friends, it could hardly be expected that Claudia Weill's first film for a major Hollywood studio would curb the trend. There is a certain amount of naturalistic filigree around the unconvincing lovers -- a female math professor and a retired baseball player -- …
Part-Prince and the Pauper, part-Parent Trap. Look-alike (but act-different) little girls break up one match and make another. Nothing to it. With Kirstie Alley, Steve Guttenberg, Mary-Kate Olsen, and Ashley Olsen; directed by Andy Tennant.
A loving, generous, somewhat sedate portrait of the artist as a successful old man. So much of Alison Chernik’s Itzhak Perlman documentary is contained in the opening scene, wherein the great violinist dons a personalized Mets jersey (the common touch), backs his scooter out of a specialized van (the physical …

Eisenstein's awesome -- almost to the point of unapproachable -- two-part history lesson, done in operatic style, stiffened, inflated, and inflamed. It is especially expressive (or maybe just excessive) in its employment of tapered beards, bulging robes, horrific shadows, crazy-house tilts, hypnotic glowerings. Music by Prokofiev; photography by Tisse; acting …
Bittersweet comedy (nine-tenths sweet, one bitter) whose basic strategy is to have a thirty-one-year-old woman behave as if she were seven. Since she holds down a secretarial job in a very "now" Toronto art gallery, the results of this are more often embarrassing than funny. The idolatrous fixation of a …
The first film of French novelist Philippe Claudel, about a genteel parolee who moves in temporarily with her younger sister and in-laws, is leisurely, patient, closely observed, committedly acted (Kristin Scott Thomas, with dark circles around her eyes, and Elsa Zylberstein), drably photographed, and passably absorbing, at least until it …
Experience the live concert movie.
