TV Gal Recommends Character Rehab
![A couple of weeks ago when I was watching "The Office," the strangest thing happened. I actually felt sorry for Roy and -- stop the paper mill -– I was kind of rooting for him. What was happening to me? Part of it may be that Jim's charming flirtation with Karen has made it seem like he has a girl in every office port (not that there's anything wrong with that, I've already sent him directions to where I work). But part of it is that Roy has been through character rehab this season. Suddenly, he's more sympathetic, more sensitive and more caring. He's not the jerk we once knew and we're starting to understand why Pam fell for him in the first place.](http://www.zap2it.com/media/thumbnails/story/2006-11/26472368.jpg "A couple of weeks ago when I was watching "The Office,\" the strangest thing happened.

'The Year of the Yao' and 'Milwaukee, Minnesota'
![You won't find "The Year of the Yao" on a Chinese lunar calendar, but the 2002-03 NBA season to which it refers was an eventful one for basketball fans and cultural watchdogs around the world. It was the year that Shanghai's Yao Ming made the leap to the NBA, the subject of a glossy documentary by James D. Stern and Adam Del Deo. Not yet 22 years old when he was selected first in the 2002 NBA draft by the Houston Rockets, Yao was under tremendous pressure from a nationalistically minded homeland eager to see him make good and from many basketball insiders dubious of the 7-foot-6 center's ability to translate his height advantage to in-the-paint dominance against aggressive rivals such as then-Laker star Shaquille O'Neal.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2005-08/18811988.jpg "You won't find "The Year of the Yao\" on a Chinese lunar calendar, but the 2002-03 NBA season to which it refers was an eventful one for basketball fans and cultural watchdogs around the world.

'Palindromes'
!["Palindromes" begins at the funeral of Dawn Wiener, the hapless heroine of Todd Solondz's second theatrical release, with a video camera trained on her pine coffin as her brother delivers a backhanded eulogy. Dawn has put an end to the almanac of bummers that was her life by committing suicide, and an insensitive comment by her sister Missy (whom we never see but whose toxic pronouncements bookend the film like a pair of kicks to the head) leads Aviva, their achingly insecure 13-year-old cousin, to fret that she's headed down a similar path.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2005-04/17145335.jpg ""Palindromes\" begins at the funeral of Dawn Wiener, the hapless heroine of Todd Solondz's second theatrical release, with a video camera trained on her pine coffin as her brother delivers a backhanded eulogy.

Extreme Measures
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday September 27, 1996 Numerous medical procedures are on view in "Extreme Measures," but none are as risky or as unsuccessful as the aesthetic transplants this decidedly odd thriller attempts.
