...their class, but it gets star heft from Mexican hottie Gael García Bernal. He plays a quietly intense young man named Elvis who insinuates himself into his long-absent father's devoutly Christian family: righteous wife (Laura Harring), rebellious son (Paul Dano) and a daughter (Pell James) searching for love, divine or carnal. The movie's fuse is far too long, but there is an explosion, when The King rips off its mask of observational drama to reveal itself as a monster movie with gore galore. Only an actor with García Bernal's appealing seriousness could...
...make more sense to declare an ensemble award (it's happened before) for supporting actresses: to the Broken Flowers brigade of Lange, Sharon Stone, Frances Conroy, Tilda Swinton, Alexis Dziena, Chloe Sevigny and Pell James; or to the Sin City sorority that includes Jessica Alba, Carlo Gugino, Rosario Dawson, Brittany Murphy and Jaime King.

Instead, over the past two weeks, just about every hypothesis from every corner of the globe has been whispered in our ears: Australia's George Pell, Italy's Severino Poletto, Canada's Mark Ouellet, Chile's Juan Luis Cipriani Thorne, Ukraine's Lubomyr, United States' Theodore McCarrick. Each, for a different reason, seems highly improbable. Someone even dropped the name of the Cardinal from Lyon Philippe Barbarin to my colleague Jordan Bonfante, who promptly looked...
Kennedy said that, if passed, the bill would offer colleges an additional $1,000 for each student receiving a Pell Grant—a government-backed scholarship for low-income students—if the institution switches from the privately funded Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) to the federally managed program...
