News of the World by Paulette JilesMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Story of an old man who reads newspapers in small Texas towns for a fee who gets tasked with transporting a recovered girl who was kidnapped by Indians. Characters are well drawn, though the plot is predictable. There is some extraneous bits about real-estate squabbles that I did not find interesting and the ending ran on too long. But Tom Hanks is supposedly attached to the film, and I suspect it will end up to be a sweet, predictable film with good acting.

Leaf shadows like laughter ran over their faces.
