...Jones is far too much “the bad guy” to have any depth. Dexter’s character is refreshing, while Jason Butler Harner, who plays Gordon Northcott, the mechanic of questionable sanity, is convincing in his quiet leer and uneasy smile. As is the danger with a film that draws from real life, “Changeling” follows the template of Collins’s true story far too literally. Some scenes that loyally adhere to actual events detract from the overall spirit of the movie. Though most of the film?...
...lifetime, blacks in some southern communities were in grave physical danger if they did not step off the sidewalk when a white person approached them. During my childhood, Virginia’s governor and many educators closed entire public school systems for years so that schools could not be desegregated. When I was in my teens, black and white activists were murdered for trying to ensure the franchise for black citizens. As recently as my young adulthood, three-fourths of whites agreed in a national survey that “blacks shouldn’t push themselves where they?...

...surface. The Killers wouldn’t be the band they are today without a little quirkiness thrown in for good measure. They’ve already ridden tiny donkeys, fallen in love with courtesans, and pretended to be cowboys. Now, it’s time to flirt with danger. Bring on the cougars and white tigers. The animals do seem a little irrelevant at first—the Killers are one with nature, we get it. But if white tigers, the desert, and ridiculous flashing lights can work for a pair of German magicians, why not the Killers? These...
