...face of that, every day good people are doing good things. Like Dr. Moll, who uses his after-job time and his own fund raising to run an extensive volunteer home-care program in KwaZulu-Natal. And Busi Magwazi, who, along with dozens of others, tends the sick for nothing in the Durban-based Sinoziso project. And Patricia Bakwinya, who started her Shining Stars orphan-care program in Francistown with her own zeal and no money, to help youngsters like Tsepho Phale.

John Turturro shines brightly as Aldo Silvano, a dedicated member of the "Cradle" cast who parts ways with his family of Italian...
...with screenwriter husband Dan Gilroy and five-year-old daughter Rose. Though Russo has yet to carry a film on her own (her sole effort was the failed kid flick Buddy), she still takes home $5 million a picture.
