...Sylvain Chomet and Tom Tykwer - collaborated on Paris, Je T'aime, an omnibus movie of short segments, each set in a different Paris neighborhood. This sort of enterprise can invite directorial indifference, but at least half of the episodes are charming or poignant, with a lovely, lingering aftertaste. Special mention to Joel and Ethan Coen's vignette set in the Métro, as a tourist (Steve Buscemi) learns to his peril not to make eye contact with that mysterious young couple on the opposite platform.

When the conversation turns to childhood pets and I mention a beloved one-eyed dog, they all make empathetic faces, but Maguire, 36, gets teary, Robison, 33, laughs at her sister's sensitivity, and Maines, 31, says she would have poked around the empty socket "just to check it out."
