'Ginger & Rosa' a showcase for Elle Fanning ★★★
As the ampersand between their names indicates, "Ginger & Rosa" are inseparable, pals since birth, best friends for as long as anyone can remember. At least until now. It's 1962 in London, and 17-year-old old Rosa worries about finding true love, "the...

'Ginger and Rosa' review: Almost-good is sometimes good enough
**1/2 (out of four) Two-thirds of a good movie, “Ginger and Rosa” eventually falls victim to the “What's the worst thing that could happen here?” theory of screenwriting without considering whether it makes sense. Before that,...

'Goal! The Dream Begins'
Zap2It.comSomeone at Disney must have accidentally slipped the marketing plans into the production notes for "Goal! The Dream Begins."

'The Sisters'
![A pompous, overwrought and itchingly claustrophobic psychodrama, "The Sisters" was adapted by Richard Alfieri from his own play, which itself was "suggested," whatever that means, by Chekhov's play of almost the same name. The movie transposes four morose siblings from early 20th century podunk Russia to a contemporary Manhattan college campus (because of, you know, the parallels), but instead of having them long for Moscow, the writer sets them pining for Charleston, S.C. OK, it sounds weird, but you'd long for Charleston too, even one shrouded in great billowing clouds of fake flashback fog, if you spent all your time in New York holed up in a teachers' lounge verbally abusing friends and family under a creepy oil portrait of your dead father.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2006-04/22930579.jpg "A pompous, overwrought and itchingly claustrophobic psychodrama, "The Sisters\" was adapted by Richard Alfieri from his own play, which itself was \"suggested,\" whatever that means, by Chekhov's play of almost the same name.

'Junebug'
![What does it mean to belong, and to what extent can we will ourselves to do so? How much does where we come from determine who we are? These are the big questions first-time feature director Phil Morrison poses in "Junebug," a deceptively simple, deeply resonant story about the inherent loneliness of family, the odds against assimilation and the enormous distances that can divide two people, even when they are standing close enough for one to flick a wrench and hit the other in the eye.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2005-08/18775809.jpg "What does it mean to belong, and to what extent can we will ourselves to do so?
