(Buckaroo's slogan, "No matter where you go, there you are," could serve as a fortune-cookie credo for the no-problem '80s.) There is also a passel of sharp performances. The presence of such actors as Christopher Lloyd (Zenned-out on an inner voice that must sound like Daffy Duck's), Ellen Barkin (with her bruised features and street-angel smile) and Jeff Goldblum (heartthrob of the Mensa sorority) clues...

She finds the infidelity hard to bear, but not as shattering as her husband's lethargic confession that he has renounced his lover. In Rags and Bones, a woman buys an old tin chest at a junk shop and discovers within it a cache of more than 300 love letters. She spends a day reading them, vicariously participating in a passion that her own fashionable life holds at bay. In Terminal, a woman with cancer begs her husband not to interfere if she decides...
