  1. For journalists today, the whole world is watching

    Recently, I wrote a post for my <a href="http://amywilentz.tumblr.com/">personal blog</a> about the opening of a garment factory in Haiti. The ceremony was attended by, among others, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Sean Penn, Ben Stiller and Haiti's president, Michel Martelly. But I was bothered by the idea of cheap Haitian labor making scores of T-shirts each day that would sell, individually, for more than a worker at the plant earns per day, and that's what I wrote.

  2. Danger Awaits in 'Gangster Squad'

      From the director of Zombieland, Ruben Fleischer, comes Gangster Squad, a film that takes the viewer back to the grungy, electric Las Vegas of the 1920s, a city in which drug lords are ruling from the underground. With an excellent cast headed by...

  3. 'Gangster Squad' review: Soft-boiled

    <strong>*1/2 (out of four)</strong>
    *1/2 (out of four) This true story of morally questionable, mid-20th century L.A. cops and their efforts to rid the city of organized crime and corruption contains so much intrigue, it’s a wonder no one’s done it before. Oops, they have....

  4. 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.

  5. 'Gangster Squad' a fusillade of bullets and cliches ★★

    A triumph of production design but a pretty dull kill-'em-up otherwise, the post-World War II-set "Gangster Squad" comes from the director of "Zombieland," Ruben Fleischer. It's clear Fleischer, who also made "30 Minutes or Less," hadn't worked through his "Zombieland" jones by the time he got to his latest film. I liked "Zombieland," which made a strong case for its brand of viscera and wisecracks. But "Gangster Squad" is a different sort of picture, or should be.

  7. 'Gangster Squad' lacks drama with familiarity

           Rogue cops carry out their brand of swift justice to bring down Mafia kingpin Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn).      Where have we seen this before? Only everywhere.      “Gangster Squad’s” plot is nothing more, as Cohen and his...

  8. 'Gangster Squad' a stylish but shallow noir tale, critics say

    Taking its name and inspiration from a real LAPD operation that battled organized crime during the 1940s and '50s, the new film "Gangster Squad" dramatizes the story of Sgt. John O'Mara (played by Josh Brolin) and his squad's crusade against the...

  9. Film review: 'Gangster Squad' is no 'Chinatown'

    It's hard to resist Los Angeles-based films noir -- "Chinatown," "Kiss Me Deadly," "The Big Sleep" being only a few of the best -- but "Gangster Squad" is a bit more resistible than most. Director Ruben Fleischer and screenwriter Will Beall have morphed Paul Lieberman's nonfiction book of the same name into something a good deal more fictional.

  10. Review: 'Gangster Squad' runs through its ammo to no avail

    The new crime thriller "Gangster Squad," with its swell cast led by Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Sean Penn and Emma Stone, tries to capture mob-infested Los Angeles circa 1949, when Hollywood glam ruled the Strip, wiseguys took aim with tommy guns and...

  12. Los Angeles on view in 'Gangster Squad'

    When mobster Mickey Cohen ruled Los Angeles in the late 1940s, his favorite hangout was the legendary Slapsy Maxie's nightclub on Wilshire Boulevard. It's long gone now of course, so to re-create it for the new film "Gangster Squad" the filmmakers had to be creative.
