Flight Directed by Robert Zemeckis I’ll probably be bucking a trend here, but I’m not especially fond of “Flight” – a movie that stars Denzel Washington as a skilled but flawed airline pilot – which is fitting because it also feels like a skilled but flawed film. The previews focus on the action scenes – which are well done – but they’re also over fairly quickly at the start of a movie that focuses primarily on the aftermath of those scenes rather than on them directly. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing if you enjoy where that focus takes you – and I enjoyed it until about 10-15 minutes before the end of the movie. Part of that aftermath is really quite interesting, as we see the proces

Sarah Silverman played to a full house Sunday in Jackson Hall at the Mondavi Center, and was greeted enthusiastically. The audience responded with much laughter and applause to each of her jokes or riffs on things. Silverman is well known for her body function humor. After all, her recent book is titled, “The Bedwetter,” now out in paperback. It’s not just body function humor, it is nearly all body functions humor. Part of the humor is the outrageous being delivered by such a sweet, innocent looking and sounding person. As my dear departed mother used to like to say, “I would hate to have in my hand what you just had in your mouth.” She would have been saying this a lot to Sarah Silverman
