  1. The Contenders: Timothy Olyphant of 'Justified'

    "Justified" just finished a typically terrific fourth season that featured the Detroit Mafia invading Kentucky, a marriage proposal from antihero Boyd Crowder to his love Ava and Patton Oswalt playing a constable who takes it (and takes it) on the chin before turning into an unlikely hero and saving the day. In the middle of this chaos, as always, stood Timothy Olyphant's Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, laid-back and laconic, glaring and growling, one of television's most fully realized lawmen. We caught up with Olyphant recently at his Westwood home to talk about the show's evolution.

  2. 'Breakfast Club': How a talky teen film became a classic

    I was in 7th grade when "The Breakfast Club" opened in theaters, and I distinctly remember thinking the movie was <em>totally right about everything</em>. I wasn't in high school yet (and that was surely one of movie's allures; a peek in a world I would soon enter), but at 13, I had suddenly become aware of all those weird anxieties, indignities and nuances that define the lives of adolescents, and they were all right there on the screen. Perceived slights as far as the eye can see. Rigid-seeming social circles. Parents who just don't understand. If only people knew the real me.

  5. David Chase: coming-of-age stories never get old

    David Chase's new movie, "Not Fade Away," his first major work since concluding "The Sopranos," tells the story of a thoughtful teenage boy (John Magaro) growing up in New Jersey during the 1960s. Flat December light settles over the film's suburban snowbanks in winter, mountains of leaves clog the gutters in autumn, the Jersey shore beckons in summer. The teen plays in a garage band with an outside chance at fame; he meets a girl who understands him; he runs afoul of his father (James Gandolfini), revealing a generational divide; he discovers the Beatles and the Rolling Stones and, at the movies, Antonioni. "What kind of movie is this?" the boy asks his girlfriend as they slump before "Blow-Up," simultaneously mystified and rocked to the core.<em> "What kind of movie is this?"</em>

  7. Edward Burns returns to his roots

    About halfway through writing the script for "The Fitzgerald Family Christmas" (which opens at the Wilmette Theatre next week), Edward Burns says he found himself at a crossroad. "Do I want to make the big, crazy, funny, holly-jolly Christmas Irish family movie?" he recalled when we spoke last week, "or do I want to go for something a little more grounded in the real world and a little more serious?"

  11. Film review: A win for the 'Dark Horse'

    It may be too obvious an intro, but filmmaker Todd Solondz &mdash; whose new film &ldquo;Dark Horse&rdquo; opens next week &mdash; could himself be considered a dark horse. His films have a strong following at festivals and in art houses, but they are too honest, too dark, and too bitterly funny to fit any major studio's notion of &ldquo;commercial.&rdquo;
