  1. 'Smashed': Drama's watered down in this lesson about the drinking life ★★ 1/2

    The director's statement issued with “Smashed” reads, in part: "Being drunk can be really fun. It's just all the other things that come with being drunk that can be a downer (wrecking cars, lives, etc.) ... so many films that deal with substance abuse follow a familiar 'scared straight' path, depicting characters so damaged that they're not relatable, leaving the audience with nothing to do but gawk at their otherness.

  7. John Waters has mellowed, but his humor remains twisted, his sensibilities bizarre

    Wholesome little Appleton, Wis., slips past the passenger window without arousing any visible interest in tonight's guest lecturer. A shop selling sewing machines. A Christian bookstore. The Martin School of Hair Design. Not very promising.

  8. Movie review: Family values and goodness mingle with John Waters' trademark crude humor in 'Pecker.'

    The title character of "Pecker," John Waters' 13th film, is a teen-age sandwich-maker in Hampden who is nicknamed Pecker because as a child he pecked at his food. But just as the film's title flashes on screen, Waters assures us that his dirty mind is still working, when he flashes a shot of Baltimore's Washington monument, photographed at an angle that renders the father of our country an unwitting spokesman for Viagra.

  9. Movie review: 'Leonie' biopic upstaged by woman's famous son

    In the biopic "Leonie," the famous artists in a Japanese American family — the sculptor-architect Isamu Noguchi and his writer father — are supporting characters. The "woman behind the men," Leonie Gilmour, steps out front and center. She's ferociously independent and unconventional, and played with a bright, chilly strength by Emily Mortimer. But one of the disappointments of the film is that she is, ultimately, defined by the success of her son.

  11. Robert Redford's 'new territory' with 'Captain America' sequel

    Though Robert Redford may be the very platonic ideal of a movie star -- a matinee idol from films such as "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "The Sting," "The Way We Were," "The Electric Horseman" and "Out of Africa" -- he has of late been involved with smaller-scale, socially conscious dramas. So many were surprised last week by the news that Redford would be appearing in the Marvel Studios comic-book action sequel "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" as a senior leader in the secret government agency of S.H.I.E.L.D.
