"The Life of Chuck," a slick but ickily grandiose reminder to take your dance lessons while you can, also reminds us that every generation gets its own variations on "It's a Wonderful Life" - movie fantasies designed for affirmation and comfort, while unnerving us a little.

I love getting faked out by the movies. I love believing the impossible, if only for a moment. Moviewise, I live for a lot of things; one of them, by which I was floored at the age 5, was Buster Keaton's "Cops" (1922) and his startling genius as a physical and comic presence. Half the time, at that age, I wasn't sure if what I was watching was actually happening. That's how it is with beautiful illusions, created from real risks that become the audience's reward.

Trump: President Obama -- and if he wanted help I would give him help because I'm a really good builder and I build on time on budget. He's building his library in Chicago. It's a disaster. He wants woke people to build it… He didn’t use mean hard tough construction workers https://t.co/wdgjpoioW7
