...Besides his ability to draw big names - producer Drew Barrymore also wanders through, simpering - director Ken Kwapis can include fairness in his skill set. Pedro Almodovar would have picked sides (the women's, undoubtedly) and made you love them all. Cameron Crowe successfully endeared us to both sexes in Singles. In Kwapis' world, the scales of jerkdom go back and forth, finally tilting ever so slightly toward men when Kris Kristofferson, in the small role of Beth's father, announces that of his four daughters, she has always been his favorite...
...minor kingdoms that faced each other near the Teesta River, staked games of chess with plots of land.

The steely-eyed Colombian Cardinal, 79, served for nine years as head of the Congregation for Clergy, where in 2002 he drew the wrath of victims of American-priest sex abuse for denying that the Catholic Church had any particular problem with pedophiles in its ranks. But most of all, Castrillón is a dyed-in-the-wool traditionalist. He was named by Pope John Paul II as the go-between in relations with fringe traditionalist groups like the Lefebvrites, whose official name is the Society...
