  1. Redford, plot defy time ★★ 1/2

    Some actors are lucky. In the third act of their careers, they become dream versions of their own parents, or grandparents. Paul Newman did that. So did Katharine Hepburn. We got to know them, and love them, at one age; then, against every Hollywood dictum, they were allowed to mature, to mellow, as they acquired a few more years. They weren't competing with their iconic youthful images so much as putting our memories of those early years to good use, as the crow's feet, slowed gait and thinning hair came along and changed them. It's a privilege to watch an actor age gracefully in the movies; so few are given the chance or the roles.

  2. Mamet's 'The Anarchist' is slow to forgive, forget

    <strong>NEW YORK </strong>&mdash; The Weathermen and their &ldquo;Days of Rage&rdquo; in 1969 emerged from the dimly remembered past during the 2008 presidential campaign when fevered attempts were made by the Republican Party to closely link Barack Obama with Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn and Judy Clark, who were involved in those violent events in Chicago. More than four years later, these are generally regarded on both sides of the aisle as tired lines of attack and, self-evidently, they did not keep Obama from winning the White House, twice. David Mamet, though, clearly remains engaged &mdash; heck, enraged &mdash; by the ability of the former members of the Weather Underground Organization to rehabilitate themselves and find a measure of absolution from an American public that has moved on, as the American public usually tends to do.
