• The Shipping News (Opens Dec.
25): Maybe Kevin Spacey can pay us
back for Pay It Forward and Julianne
Moore can run free of Hannibal. Let
us just say that this family drama
about a single dad (Spacey) with two
little girls, who comes home to
Newfoundland after a traumatizing
experience with their mother, comes
from the Annie Proulx novel. It was
"helmed" by Lasse (Choco/at)
Hallstrom and also features Judi
Dench, Scott Glenn and Cate
Blanchett. Rated R.
• In The Bedroom (Opens Dec.
25): Todd Field makes his directorial
debut in this story of a doctor and
his wife from Maine who are forced to
struggle with the grief and emotional
bludgeoning that comes their way
when their son becomes involved with
an older women. Stars Sissy Spacek, in
an Oscar-buzz performance, Tom
Wilkinson, Nick Stahl, Marisa Tomei
and William Mapother (Tom Cruise's
nephew). Rated R.

this film, and Rushmore, with
Anderson, admits Tenenbaums was
influenced by J.D. Salinger's short sto-
ries about the Glass family of child
geniuses and the similarly themed
Orson Welles 1942 classic The
Magnificent Ambersons. But in
Tenenbaums, Owens says he was more
interested in "the Irish-Jewish-family-
thing" and in depicting an incestuous
love affair. The dream cast was realized
with Gene Hackman, Bill Murray,
Anjelica Huston, Gwyneth Paltrow,
Ben Stiller and Luke Wilson. Rated R.
