‘Good Morning America’s’ Robin Roberts branches out
BY JAY BOBBIN
Robin Roberts has done many things during her “Good Morning America” tenure, but she’s entering uncharted territory. For her, anyway. The award-winning ABC weekday staple becomes an executive producer of TV movies with the premiere of Lifetime’s recurring “Robin Roberts Presents” franchise Saturday, Jan. 18. The factbased dramas will correspond with Roberts-hosted documentaries on the same subjects ... the first film being “Stolen by My Mother: The Kamiyah Mobley Story,” about a young woman (played by Rayven Ferrell) who comes to realize the South Carolina woman who raised her (portrayed by Niecy Nash) kidnapped her as a newborn from a Florida hospital. “We did quite a few stories” on the situation on “GMA” when it first became news, the friendly Roberts recalls. “My colleague Eva Pilgrim spent a lot of time with Kamiyah, and I did a satellite
interview with Kamiyah as well. It was a story that really resonated with our audience, and I was just so impressed with how Kamiyah was handling everything. I could not imagine finding out, at 18, that the person who raised you was not really your mother. “The way she was navigating both families, and the response we were getting from our ‘GMA’ audience, made me want to know more about it,” adds Roberts. “And I’m glad that we’re doing a companion documentary, because you want to know how she’s doing now.” Roberts’ “Beyond the Headlines” interview with the real Mobley – who recently announced she’s moving back to her native Florida – immediately follows the movie. “I also spoke to her biological father,” Roberts reports, “and she’s really drawn to him and the children he has, though she’s close to her South Carolina family as well. She’s still trying
to build a relationship with her biological mother; that has been a little more tenuous for her.” The project also is significant for ESPN alum Roberts as the springboard into a new career phase. “I’m a journalist, and storytelling is storytelling,” she reasons. “It’s been challenging, because I’m used to the world I’ve been in, where I go in and we’re live for two hours. There’s an immediacy to what I do day-in and day-out, but on the other hand, not with this. You have to be patient. “I spent time with Kamiyah and her legal team securing the rights to her story,” notes Roberts. “Did we take some artistic license? That’s what you do (in a drama), and that’s why it was so important to me as a journalist to have the documentary. We had to give people the absolute facts, but I’m getting to stretch another muscle that I don’t usually use at ‘GMA,’ so it’s been a great complement.”

The co-creator, co-writer and co-star of the hit series “Catastrophe” ruminates about swimming in tea, unearthing scammers, being a father and a husband and the disappearance of his friend Jackie in this stand-up special recorded this past September at the Hackney Empire in London. (ORIGINAL)
“Movie: Troop Zero”
A rural Georgia girl who dreams of flying in space gets a chance to be recorded on NASA’s Golden Record when she joins a national competition in this drama movie. Mckenna Grace, Allison Janney, Viola Davis, Edi Patterson and Jim Gaffigan head a solid cast. (ORIGINAL) Premiere In 1860s Paris, a repressed young woman (Elizabeth Olsen) is trapped into a loveless marriage to her sickly cousin (Tom Felton) by her domineering aunt (Jessica Lange) in this 2013 crime drama from director Charlie Stratton (“Seacole”). Oscar Isaac, Shirley Henderson and Matt Lucas are also in the talented cast.
From “About a Boy” to “The Golden Compass,” Chris Weitz has shown great variety in his directing career, and he continues on that path with this 2011 drama. A gardener (Demian Bechir) in East Los Angeles does his best to give his son (Jose Julian) more options in life than he’s had himself, and an unexpected theft — and their shared response to it — has quite a bonding effect. Bechir earned a best actor Oscar nod for his touching performance.

Clint Eastwood’s Top 10 Movies BY JAY BOBBIN
“Gran Torino” (2008): Directing himself as an actor here, as he’s done many times, Eastwood is superb as a crusty war veteran forced to confront his bigotry. “Million Dollar Baby” (2004): Everything Eastwood does on this Oscar-winning drama is so superb, it’s easy to overlook that his performance as a boxing trainer is as sterling as his directing. “Mystic River” (2003): Eastwood directed Sean Penn and Tim Robbins to Academy Awards in this intense drama of grown friends from childhood. “The Bridges of Madison County” (1995): Eastwood shows wonderful tenderness – and stunning scene composition, as this story requires – as director and star (with Meryl Streep) of Robert James Waller’s story of middle-aged romance. “In the Line of Fire” (1993): Playing a hero with flaws became Eastwood, seen as a veteran Secret Service man trying to prevent a JFK-assassination repeat. “Unforgiven” (1992): Eastwood redefined the screen Western in this grim Oscar darling. “The Outlaw Josey Wales” (1976): Among Eastwood’s finest Westerns post-“A Fistful of Dollars,” this drama (which he also directed) casts him as a farmer who targets his family’s murderers. “Dirty Harry” (1971): No list of Eastwood’s best is complete without his initial, Don Siegel-directed turn as the maverick San Francisco police detective tracking a serial killer his own way. “The Beguiled” (1971): Also working with Siegel here, in a melodrama regarded in Europe as a classic, Eastwood took a gamble as an injured Civil War soldier trapped in a girls school. “A Fistful of Dollars” (1964): An international superstar was born with Eastwood’s original portrayal of the Man With No Name, which the then-“Rawhide” television actor did thinking it would just be fun to travel to Spain.
MOVIE REVIEW
BY JAY BOBBIN
Clint Eastwood tells the true tale of ‘Richard Jewell’ Clint Eastwood is a specialist in telling stories of ordinary people in extraordinary situations, shown again recently in such films as “Sully” and “The 15:17 to Paris.” It certainly is the case once more with the Eastwood-directed “Richard Jewell,” recalling the true situation of a security guard hailed as a hero for saving lives in a bombing during the 1996 Summer Olympics – but then suspected of being the person who planted the explosives. The best move Eastwood has made is to cast a relative unknown in the title role, though that actor is surrounded by familiar faces. Paul Walter Hauser does quite a good job as Jewell, who takes himself a bit too seriously when he’s on patrol, extending to laying down the law to college students. He gets endless encouragement and support from his mother, played by the always fabulous Kathy Bates, but he’s generally considered a misfit. Then his time to shine arises, during that fateful moment in Atlanta. Just as quickly as he’s celebrated, though, he becomes vilified after a former boss arouses suspicions about what Jewell did.
That gets the FBI and reporters interested ... and though the respective roles are well-played by Jon Hamm and Olivia Wilde, people who actually have those careers aren’t likely to be fans of how they’re depicted here. One of the most-discussed aspects of “Richard Jewell” has been its inference – and despite any attempted dismissals of it,
day and age is not the best choice. And anyone who didn’t expect pushback on it simply wasn’t paying attention. Sam Rockwell comes off a bit better as the attorney who agrees to represent Jewell against his accusers, and that puts Eastwood back on his familiar man-againstthe-system turf. Hauser especially and notably makes a sympathetic
you cannot miss that inference – that the journalist portrayed by Wilde offered herself to the federal agent personified by Hamm in exchange for information on the Jewell case from him. The Atlanta newspaper that employed the reporter (now deceased) insists that never happened; at the very least, showing such a situation in this
Jewell in that portion of the movie. Despite its controversy and its rather flat opening at the box office (likely costing it chances for awards it clearly was aiming for), “Richard Jewell” tells an involving story with a solid cast, and that combination puts it right in Clint Eastwood’s time-tested wheelhouse as a filmmaker.

(“Brokeback Mountain,” “Life of Pi”), the story finds Smith playing an ultra-skilled assassin who decides his pace has slowed enough for him to get out of the killing game. Others aren’t happy about that, and to eliminate him, they send in the clone – and you basically end up with Smith fighting himself. It can be fun to watch that kind of movie trickery, but that’s not all that makes up a film: One like this has to be especially careful with its logic, and Smith, Lee and their colleagues likely hope you’ll be dazzled enough by the overall concept and the visuals not to thin too much about any plot missteps. The always welcome Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays a fellow operative sent to keep watch over Smith, while Clive Owen gets a break from leading-man status and does a nice job being nasty as an agency boss. Benedict Wong also offers good work as a Smith ally whose skills come in handy. ››› (PG-13: AS, P, V) (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand)
