Awash with amazingly talented actors – Vince Vaughn, Paul Giamatti, Miranda Richardson, Rachel Weisz, Kathy Bates, Kevin Spacey, to name a few – Fred Claus is sadly just an early lump of coal under the tree.

Shadowboxer
Not reviewed at press time. Stars Çuba Gooding Jr. and Helen Mirren as passionate yet unlikely lovers, as well as assassins and stepmother and stepson. And if that's not enough drama, one of them also has a fatal disease.

The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada
Tommy Lee Jones has made a modern Western in the culturally askew tradition of Peckinpah, Huston, and Boetticher. Don't let the near-impossible-to-remember title keep you away from this singular and slightly surreal scorcher.
"...characters, though Mike, the new transplant, reveals an aggressive bent toward the border-crossers and his dim wife, Lou Ann..."

The Traveling Lady
With The Traveling Lady, Different Stages has mounted a pleasant, innocuous little drama by Texas playwright Horton Foote, but while the actors are honest and heartfelt in portraying its awkward, kind-hearted small-town souls, the scenes sometimes play out in ways that betray the intimacy of small-town life.
