Clearly MONICA LEWINSKY needn't have worried that her all too public travails would prevent her from ever securing another date. Last week alone she accompanied two very different men to two very high-profile functions. While attending a post-Oscar party with lawyer Jonathan Marshall, Lewinsky met Best Actor nominee SIR IAN MCKELLEN...
Problems arise from the first moment Ben encounters the Cappadora family. He is no longer the carefree, blond toddler that everyone remembers. Vince (Jonathan Jackson), Ben's sullen older brother, is a high-school junior with quite a few issues himself that are aggravated by Ben's reappearance. Ben's hardworking and optimistic father, Pat, seems thoroughly convinced that if everyone could just put aside their cares over a plate of pasta and a rousing rendition of "La Tarantella," things would work out fine.

The Deep End of the Ocean offers a surprisingly refreshing change from the trashy options now readily available at movie theaters...

But Beth makes a career of her guilt and grief; she builds a mausoleum for her lost child and moves into it. She sleeps all day and leaves the tending of her infant daughter to the two males in the house. In a nice vignette, young Vincent comes home, sees that his sister is being ignored, picks up her rattles and puts them in the playpen, then walks through the foyer, knocking over a vase...
