    When it comes to creating compelling drama, fact-based films often have an advantage over the invented kind. But don't tell that to R.F.I. Porto, the writer of Washington sniper movie "Blue Caprice." The notion of adapting a real-life tale was something...

  4. 'Beyond the Hills' tells a different kind of exorcism tale

    In 2005, Romania's equivalent of the sensational O.J. Simpson trial rocked Eastern Europe when a priest and four nuns from a convent in the country's remote Moldavia region went to prison for accidentally killing a young woman during an exorcism. The case captivated the public, attracted interest from filmmaker Roman Polanski and ultimately inspired writer-director Cristian Mungiu to make "Beyond the Hills."

  6. Polanski's 'Rosemary's Baby,' Lugosi's 'White Zombie': scary stuff

    Los Angeles Times Film Critic
    Horror films do not thrill me, but more elegant efforts sometimes offer an irresistible chill. Such is the case with two films decades apart in time but similarly atmospheric. The older of the two is 1932's "White Zombie," an early stab at zombie-themed...

  8. Laura Dern's 'Enlightened' approach

    Season 2 of HBO's "Enlightened" finds Laura Dern as fortysomething executive Amy Jellicoe conspiring with an egotistical Los Angeles Times muckraker (Dermot Mulroney) to bring down her corporate overlords.
