MIGHTY FINE

As the only person I know who was born in Brooklyn and never moved away, I have a special interest in reasons that people would leave such a heaven-sent destination.

SAFE

Boaz Yakin might have us believe that "Safe" is the story of a man's redemption, a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie with enough action to appeal to the computer-game set.

THE ASSAULT

If "The Assault," a French import, were turned into a Hollywood movie, it would be in full, blazing color rather than carrying the desaturated color that looks almost like black and white except for the blond hair of one hero's wife and the red clothing of her infant.
