If you place an ordinary kid opposite Mel Gibson or Susan Sarandon and yell "action," he'll get as stiff and shaky as a screen door in a gale. Rory and Kieran Culkin, younger brothers of Home Alone star Macaulay, don't know from stiff. In this month's Igby Goes Down, in which they play the same prep-school rebel at different points in his life, they seem as at ease on camera as most people...

The climax of this extraordinary story is an astonishingly revealing insider's account of the 2000 election...
Also around will be Pumpkin, in which Christina Ricci plays a sorority girl who falls for a handicapped boy; Igby Goes Down, which follows a rich-yet-dysfunctional family and which features such offbeat greats as Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldblum, Claire Danes and Susan Sarandon; and CQ, a film by Francis Ford Coppola’s son Roman, concerning a 1960s film director helming a sci-fi movie...
