...pour water from a cup onto a scruffy potted plant. This, the first image in Samira Makhmalbaf's The Apple, introduces with poetic clarity the film's strange, true story: of 12-year-old twin girls imprisoned by their father in their Tehran home, away from sunlight, from the friendship of other kids, from the smallest ecstasies and exasperations of childhood. This wise, poignant film was made under unusual circumstances. The father and the girls were persuaded to play themselves, and Makhmalbaf was only 17 when she shot it. But extraordinary Iranian films have been almost...ordinary. Savvy cinephiles know...

...paths crossed again in Los Angeles in the '70s. We both enjoyed watching women's tennis and developed quite a friendship. She was very bright, with a great sense of humor.

When she went into the vocal booth, put on the headset and closed her eyes, she reached down into the depths of her soul and made magic.

Once archrivals intent on gunning each other down, the two new allies have something important to gain from their new friendship. For Gephardt, the prize is to become Speaker of the House.

For despite the current Republican disarray over...

...international relations, philosophy, economics and engineering. We are student leaders, jocks, nerds and party animals. Most of us are on financial aid. If there is one thing we all share, it is a commitment to hard work in school, service to the community, personal responsibility and the bonds of friendship among us: We are all brothers...

Interspersed between the occasional defecation and perverted spying of a man taking a bath, My Favorite Martian lacks cohesiveness. Such a shortcoming can be seen in O'Hara's sudden deep sense of friendship with Uncle Martin. After one conversation with Martin in the bathroom about O'Hara's non-existent love life, they become best of friends and O'Hara no longer wants to gain fame by broadcasting his Martian footage. This contrived sense of friendship is highlighted by Daniels's poor performance in making the scene come alive and injecting emotional reality into his character. In another instance...
