...carefree Guevara vrooming around South America on his hog, looking for fun but discovering the beginnings of his revolutionary destiny. Too political? Try Finding Neverland--Johnny Depp doing a loose interpretation of J.M. Barrie, exploring both the realities and the fantasies that conditioned his creation of Peter Pan. Too twee? How about Liam Neeson in Kinsey as the curiously haunted sexologist who got us talking about our sexual lives and longings? There's a life story for every taste. --By Richard Schickel...
