Directed by Scott McGehee and David Siegel Twentieth Century Fox 2 stars Fans of the documentary “Spellbound” or those eagerly anticipating the Scripps National Spelling Bee each year are not going to get their fix of competitive dictionary memorization from the new Richard Gere film, “Bee Season.” Frustratingly, this adaptation of Myla Goldberg’s novel focuses more on spiritual exploration and family tribulation than on silent “e”s and phonemes. Gere is Saul Naumann, a cocky, self-absorbed father who demands perfection...

"I don't feel I've lived enough to write or direct, but acting is suited to an unformed self," says Max. And it also suits cute boys who summer on film sets...
...metaphor of military praise hardly seems adequate for Anthony Swofford’s breakout autobiography “Jarhead.” The novel, written by a Californian and a New York Times bestseller in 2003, should have garnered a little more respect from its native hive, The Sacramento Bee. Enter Sam Mendes, famed director of “American Beauty” and “Road to Perdition.” Mendes and screenwriter William Broyles, Jr. have produced a vivid, accurate representation of Swofford’s book, which opens this Friday—showing the life...
