Show TrackerHonesty -- or the lack thereof -- is a favorite recurring theme on "The Good Wife." Tuesday night’s episode examined a slightly different, though related, premise: authenticity. At the behest of his new pollster Matt (Jeremy Strong), Peter decides to...... -

'November'
!["November" is not the sleek lady-in-distress thriller that its trailers suggest. More of a psychological mystery, it gets underway with a well-staged opening sequence as a young man (James Le Gros) stops at a corner market in Los Angeles one evening to buy chocolate ice cream for his girlfriend, Sophie (Courteney Cox), only to walk straight into a holdup and wind up shot dead. Writer Benjamin Brand and director-editor Greg Harrison divide their highly stylized and atmospheric 78-minute film into three sections, each dated Nov. 7, the date of that fateful evening, and titled, respectively, "Denial, "Despair" and "Acceptance," which may or may not offer a clue as to what's really going on in this increasingly perplexing film, which is more concerned with being clever than satisfying.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2005-07/18587645.jpg ""November\" is not the sleek lady-in-distress thriller that its trailers suggest.

'Never Die Alone'
![If you cut the expletives from "Never Die Alone," it's unlikely that this updated blaxploitation flick would run more than 15 minutes. As it is, this thrill-free thriller runs just 82 blue minutes, including opening and closing credits. Yet despite the hot words, the cool jazz, some visual razzmatazz and the combined efforts of director Ernest Dickerson and a couple of well-placed character actors, this 82-minute homage to the sordid, sometimes subversive pleasures of classic blaxploitation feels interminable.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2004-03/11965959.jpg "If you cut the expletives from "Never Die Alone,\" it's unlikely that this updated blaxploitation flick would run more than 15 minutes.

'Barbershop 2: Back in Business'
!["Barbershop 2: Back in Business" is that rare sequel — one worthy of its original. "Barbershop," set in a vintage Chicago South Side tonsorial parlor, was a hilarious and ingratiating hit last year, its box office no doubt helped by a flap over Cedric the Entertainer, as the shop's senior barber, making some outrageously politically incorrect remarks about such African American icons as Rosa Parks. (Never mind that everyone else in the shop was appalled; the whole point is that a neighborhood barber shop is a traditional forum of free speech, no matter how ridiculous or abhorrent.)](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2004-02/11293635.jpg ""Barbershop 2: Back in Business\" is that rare sequel — one worthy of its original. \"Barbershop,\" set in a vintage Chicago South Side tonsorial parlor, was a hilarious and ingratiating hit last year, its box office no doubt helped by a flap over Cedric the Entertainer, as the shop's senior barber, making some outrageously politically incorrect remarks about such African American icons as Rosa Parks.
