MOVIES . . . TOUCH: Writer-director Paul Schrader's sly and nicely understated adaptation of novelist Elmore Leonard's 'Touch' is the story of Juvenal, a Christ figure who has adapted to the modern era.

Among the activities: bowling, tiddlywinks, horseshoes (a presidential triumph), skeet shooting and wally ball (a version of volleyball played on a handball court).
