  1. '42': Jackie Robinson has to share the spotlight with Branch Rickey ★★ 1/2

    "42," writer-director Brian Helgeland's carefully tended portrait of Jackie Robinson, treats its now-mythic Brooklyn Dodger with respect, reverence and love. But who's in there, underneath the mythology?

  2. Highs, lows — and a graceful exit

    It's my final column of the year and, for that matter, the new millennium ¿ not to mention of all time
