Fisher's story is inspirational

By by Isaac Edwards and Isaac Edwards · Thursday, Jan. 16,2003 12 a.m.

Antwone Fisher" is the true story of a young man's self-discovery and self-awareness through the help of a ranking Naval officer and a loving girlfriend.

'Schmidt' a one-man wonder

By Jack M. Silverstein and Jack Silverstein · Thursday, Jan. 16,2003 12 a.m.

Warren Schmidt, played by Jack Nicholson, is a good American. At 62, he's just retired as vice president of a major life-insurance company. He's a conservative Republican, listening to Limbaugh on his way to the Dairy Queen for a Reeses Pieces Blizzard. His daughter is soon to be married.
