With no sweat. Gyllenhaal is at ease in front of the camera. The huffing falls to writer-director Brad Silberling (City of Angels), who wants his film to be a cross between The Graduate and In the Bedroom, to reopen the wounds of the Vietnam era and somehow to have it all end happily. The film is full of sharp acting and home truths, but its ambition to be different finally surrenders to its need to be loved...
...flow became so unpredictable that Cindy sometimes had to buy groceries with credit cards. When she couldn't pay the bills, she turned to her mother, a double-edged resource. "I was grateful, but I also hated that she knew how much trouble we were in," Cindy says. "It somehow gave her permission to criticize us, and that was hard on our egos." The couple, who had always been able to talk calmly, started arguing about what to do next: Should he get a "real" job? Should she go back to work? Then came the World Trade Center attacks, which...

...Barks says. "I want people just to stay with what they love, what they really know. I don't know why my own versions are so popular, but maybe?hopefully?it's because something is coming through and recognized as truthful." If Rumi himself were somehow zapped, robes and all, into the present day and given a look at the vast spiritual Starbucks where he is the most popular flavor of the moment, what would he make of it all? Very likely he would echo what Kabir Helminski, a practicing Sufi and another popular contemporary Rumi translator, has said about...
