Director John Sayles (remember Lone Star?) understands that characters are crucial. He has given us a couple of good ones in Bernice and Fontayne (Lisa Gay Hamilton and Yolanda Ross, both relishing the opportunity), former high school besties reunited in middle age when Bernice is assigned as Fontayne's parole officer …
A nostalgic recollection of Fifties America by way of the already nostalgic Seventies novel of Dan Wakefield. It gets through its best material early: the Madison Avenue-styled illustrations of a Dream America, to the accompaniment of "A White Sport Coat," behind the credits. (The Marty Robbins tune sets the period …
Documentarian Alex Gibney (Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine) takes on Scientology.
Three senior citizens aim to augment their meager pensions with armed robbery, though not having much of either time or energy left to enjoy their spoils. A hearty dish of morbidity nearly ruined by smothering the characters in an attitude of pure sugar. The somber direction of Martin Brest, an …
The trailer housed 90% of the laughs spread thin throughout this remake of Martin Brest’s superb 1979 yarn about a trio of seniors who decide to knock over a bank. At least the producers didn’t scrimp in the casting department; Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, and Alan Arkin are perfect substitutes …

Things come very easily to this petty and pretty pair -- …
Moderately filthy romantic comedy, moderately amusing in compensation, about a young man with commitment issues until he meets a loosey-goosey gal who holds the high score on the Centipede machine at the neighborhood watering hole and whose favorite movie is, hold your breath, The Shawshank Redemption. (Takes all kinds.) Only …
A haven for the moviegoer who just wants to escape awhile from any and all Republicans. It recounts, through archival footage and up-to-date interviews with classmates and comrades, the young Kerry's transformation from war hero to war protestor. Essentially no more than an extended commercial for the Democratic presidential candidate …
Overly manipulative romance between a wholesome, peaches-and-cream gentlewoman and a ratty desperado. They are played, respectively, by Mary Steenburgen, who looks as if she has stepped out of a Jacques Louis David portrait, and Jack Nicholson, who sounds as if he is in constant need of Dristan nasal spray. Nicholson, …
Gold — or, Mr. Wells Goes to Wall Street. Stephen Gaghan’s gussied-up treatment of a true story about a struggling salesman (Matthew McConaughey, fat, bald, and snaggletoothed) and a rogue prospector (Edgar Ramirez at his most mysterious) and their mad quest to find gold in the jungle is, like its …
