LOS ANGELES — Robert Redford does his most compelling work in some time as both actor and director in “The Company You Keep,” a tense yet admirably restrained thriller about a fugitive forced out of hiding after 30 years to prove his innocence. Adapted with clarity and intelligence by Lem Dobbs from Neil Gordon’s novel, and lent distinguishing heft by its roster of screen veterans, this gripping ...

On the Set: In this retelling, Johnny Depp & Co. mine the rich terrain that lies between frontier truth and Old West legend, stuffed crow and all. ALBUQUERQUE — Johnny Depp was the picture of breezy relaxation as he walked bare-chested across the "Lone Ranger" film set in the high desert of New Mexico last May — despite the punishing midday glare and the pelting sand from a brewing windstorm.

The story of Norwegian adventurer Thor Heyerdahl and his epic trip across the Pacific Ocean has been told before, and often. But in Kon-Tiki , the how and why of that trip get a robust, dramatic airing — if one that may not be quite historically accurate.

Nothing makes people flock to a theater more than Tom Cruise. Oh wait — I forgot this isn’t 1991. Cruise is no longer the sexy box office draw, and ironically it has nothing to do with his beliefs that it’s because he’s old. I know that sounds horrible, but it’s true; people are finding it hard to believe Cruise is a young, hunky 30-something everyman. Possibly, it’s because he’s a middle-aged ...

Neckbone (Jacob Lofland) and Ellis (Tye Sheridan) are won over by Mud (Matthew McConaughey). If “Beasts of the Southern Wild” and “The Paperboy” whetted America’s appetite for Gothic tales of the working-class South, “Mud” may be just the offering to satisfy those cravings.

The theory of the "wisdom of crowds" might not apply to massive terrorist manhunts, where fiction can be perceived as fact. Instead, online crowds can be used to ensure that people see correct information released by law-enforcement officials.

It was the biggest battle of the war, unequaled in scale and violence by anything seen before or since on this continent. Two immense armies collided in the fields and orchards and woods around Gettysburg, Pa., on July 1, 1863, and fought for three days, full-bore, no quarter given, a massive smash-up that was arguably the pivotal moment of the great conflict that sits at the heart of American ...

Given that Michael Bay’s name is synonymous with deafening, overbudgeted sexist swill to the point where it even inspired a tuneful song about his suckitude in the South Park guys’ Team America: World Police, I often find myself in the position of defending him somewhat.
