'Winter Solstice'
![In Josh Sternfeld's understated "Winter Solstice," the absence of a wife and mother in a family household is palpable. Long before Sternfeld lets his audience know the woman did in fact die in a car accident, it is clear that Anthony LaPaglia's Jim Winters, a New Jersey landscape architect, is a widower and not a divorcé. Well before Jim angrily reminds his older son, Gabe (Aaron Stanford), how hard he has worked to hold his family together, his efforts are abundantly clear.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2005-04/17042934.jpg "In Josh Sternfeld's understated "Winter Solstice,\" the absence of a wife and mother in a family household is palpable.

'Happy Hour'
![What's it all about, alky? For Tulley (Anthony LaPaglia), the failed writer and self-loathing lush at the center of Mike Bencivenga's depressing drama of co-dependence, "Happy Hour," it's about Dad, mostly. Tulley published some stories years ago and has been working on the same novel for 17 years. His father, meanwhile, played by an imperious Robert Vaughn, is a lion-of-American-letters type; remote, withholding, prolific and, of all things, an Algonquin luncher. No wonder his son drinks.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2004-11/14949640.jpg "What's it all about, alky?

'Analyze That'
![In the slapdash comedy "Analyze That" Robert De Niro and Billy Crystal reunite to toss around the sort of cheap jokes that Crosby and Hope used to take on the road to wherever. As with "Analyze This," the comedy that first brought the big-screen odd couple together, the new film hinges on the high concept of Crystal's shrink nervously dispensing psychiatric help to De Niro's mobster, a gangster with a potentially lethal grasp on the therapeutic process. The difference being that this time there isn't much of a story to get in the way of the reluctant icon and the professional jester going through their well-oiled paces.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2002-12/5723994.jpg "In the slapdash comedy "Analyze That\" Robert De Niro and Billy Crystal reunite to toss around the sort of cheap jokes that Crosby and Hope used to take on the road to wherever.

Commandments
FOR THE TIMESFriday May 2, 1997 What a lot of stories need, at their center, is a really rotten subordinate character to capture our hearts and minds. "Othello" has Iago, for instance. In "Paradise Lost," Satan manages to steal most of the scenes. In...Tags: Movies, Death, Aidan Quinn, Adultery, Courteney Cox
