Tribune staff reporterYou know the feeling. You're watching a movie and see a face that looks vaguely familiar. If you're also a local-theater nerd, chances are the actor you recognize is someone you've seen onstage. In "Revolutionary Road" (in theaters today), Leonardo...Tags: YouTube, Old Town (Staten Island, New York), Public Enemies (movie), Old Town (Chicago, Illinois), Kate Winslet

'Manic'
![I'm uncertain why Jordan Melamed, the young director of the independent film "Manic," opted to set his first feature inside a juvenile mental institution.

Whatever the case, like its troubled teenage characters, "Manic" periodically achieves that rarest of accomplishments in filmmaking -- it makes you forgive and sometimes forget its follies.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2003-05/7721264.jpg "I'm uncertain why Jordan Melamed, the young director of the independent film "Manic,\" opted to set his first feature inside a juvenile mental institution.
