...Coen brothers’ limp remake of a classic Alec Guinness comedy has its occasional laughs, but ends up becoming boring in its pursuit of essentially sweet comedy. Tom Hanks is the leader of a gang of robbers forced to masquerade as a band in order to rent church-lady Irma P. Hall’s basement because it connects to the basement of their target. Although the Coens’ affection for southern tradition is sweet and the manic third act brings things up a notch, it isn’t enough to save this essentially mediocre film...
...pair narrowly bested freshmen teammates Preethi Mukundan and Cindy Chu for the quickest win of the day. Mukundan and Chu dispatched with their opponents, Hui and Catherine Crandall, in 38 minutes at No. 3, 8-1.

And one of his four Oscar nominations was for playing a sweet-souled retarded man in I Am Sam. But he won an Oscar this year for mobilizing an implacably vengeful rage as the father of a murdered girl in Mystic River. Before that, he turned his anger into the rancid sullenness of a tormented guitar player in Woody Allen's Sweet and Lowdown and made us sympathize with an unapologetic...
