...superficially. The $120 million budget bought phenomenal special-effects firepower, and there are haunting moments: a terrified soldier digging a foxhole in the frozen earth with his bare hands, just liberated Dutch townsfolk rounding up women who slept with Germans and shearing off their hair. But unlike Ryan, which bared its fictional GIs' souls, Brothers fatally neglects to turn its cast into distinguishable characters. Combat flattens out nuance in personality, and Brothers teaches us little about its soldiers outside battle. An exception is Easy's leader, Richard Winters (Damian Lewis); the fine, Hanks-directed fifth episode explores Winters' trauma after...
...hotel in San Cristobal de las Casas was spartan; little time was left for escapes to the colorful artisan markets and baroque churches of the 16th century city. On an overnight visit to Nuevo Yibeljoj, an impoverished community of displaced Zapatista sympathizers, the visitors lay their sleeping bags on bare planks, fought off mosquitoes and fleas and urinated behind bushes rather than face a stinking outhouse...
...Along builds a new home of wood and thatch in the forest every few weeks or months, depending on the availability of game.

...Russell Crowe's band suffers from the same affliction. Fans who crave a deeper understanding of the star's emotional life than that which he offers in Oscar speeches may turn out to be the most important audience for "Bastard Life or Clarity." Crowe lays bare his soul, from his romantic idealism, as documented in "Things Have Got to Change," to his fiery streak, laid down for all to hear in "Somebody Else's Princess." If the tunes were riveting, it could be as much of a privilege to dive into Crowe's brain as Bob Dylan's or Kurt...
