" True Story Funny, moving, and full of truth, Gus Van Sant&amp;#039;s Milk sports great work by Emile Hirsch, James Franco, and Josh Brolin, who locates the lost-boy pathos in an all-American killer. But Sean Penn rules, playing the country&amp;#039;s first prominent, openly gay politician, Harvey Milk, as a middle-aged everyman who, finding his courage, transforms his life and countless others&amp;#039;.  Holiday On Ice With A Christmas Tale, celebrated French director Arnaud Desplechin invites us to choke (partly from laughter) on Christmas dinner with a family no less fascinating for being terminally toxic. Who do you love: Catherine Deneuve&amp;#039;s icy matriarch, Mathieu Amalric&amp;#039;s alcoholic scapegoat, or the prettily poisonous sister who lives to take him down?   Bad Religion Call it heresy, but John Patrick Shanley&amp;#039;s Doubt outshines his Pulitzer-winning play. As the authoritarian nun who sees sin in a priest&amp;#039;s concern for a schoolboy, Meryl Streep is chilling, fierce, and Oscar-bound. Philip Seymour Hoffman as the angry, worried priest and Amy Adams as the gentle nun who started it all perform with uncommon grace. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
