| Last year's underrated "Pleasantville" tossed a couple of modern
teens into the 1950s, and occasionally went so far as to touch on social

with his parents, played by Sissy Spacek and Christopher Walken, all of his
life. His dad...more |

| I suppose people who wear rose-tinted glasses see the world in shades of
pink, as pink as the fabrics that covered the walls and chairs of
American houses in Life magazine ads, circa 1960. Yes, pink is the
color of nostalgia. more |
