Dana Andrews movies: Film noir actor excelled in both major and minor crime dramas. Dana Andrews movies: First-rate film noir actor excelled in both classics & minor fare One of the best-looking and most underrated actors of the studio era, Dana Andrews was a first-rate film noir/crime thriller star. Oftentimes dismissed as no more than a “dependable” or “reliable” leading man, in truth Andrews brought to life complex characters that never quite fit into the mold of Hollywood's standardized heroes – or rather, antiheroes. Unlike the cynical, tough-talking, and (albeit at times self-delusionally) self-confident characters played by the likes of Alan Ladd, Edward G. Robinson, James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, and, however lazily, Robert Mitchum, Andrews created portrayals of tortured men at odds with their social standing, their sense of ethics, and even their romantic yearnings. Not infrequently, there was only a very fine line separating his (anti)heroes from most movie villains.

Zap2it: From Sunday, April 14 through Tuesday, April 16, National Geographic Channel is surveying the '80s. At the beginning of 1980, the amateur United States Olympic hockey team beat the mighty Soviet Union and went on to take out Finland to win the gold medal. You were goalie for both games -- what did it mean for a bunch of young nonprofessionals to knock out the best in the world?
Jim Craig: It was a dream. The Olympics were always about amateur athletes and the dream to become an Olympian. It was never about a professional athlete going and representing their country. We were these kids who took the time out, not making any money, and put whatever careers they really wanted to do on hold, to represent their country in the Olympics.
Zap2it: The win over the Soviet team was so tremendous; do people forget it wasn't the gold medal game?...

Here’s some good news about a future generation. An ordinary kid with a natural inclination to attend to others’ concerns and needs, Zach Bonner of Valrico, Florida, at the age of six took his little red wagon door to door to collect clean water for the victims during Hurricane Charley in 2004. After four months, he had collected 27 truckloads of sundry items for the homeless shortly after the storm devastated the Gulf Coast. A year later, Zach’s post-Katrina efforts raised $600 in donations for the Red Cross and $7,000 more in new toys and sporting equipment for the homeless children living in the Red Cross shelters. As a result, the Little Red Wagon Foundation (http://www.littleredwagonfoundation.com/home.html) was born in 2005 out of the need to continue his noble work more efficiently as his charity work became known around the country and...

Miracle is an important film to me. Not being much of a sports fan, sports movies have to have some kind of personal importance, grounding them in human drama or a stronger significance for them to resonate very strongly with me. Miracle has that in spades. It epitomizes the American spirit and not just that the 1980 Olympics were important, but why they were; why we needed, as a nation and a society, to have something spectacular happen. Being born well after all this took place, I would never presume to understand the magnificence of the story like those whose lives it directly affected. That said, the true brilliance of the film comes from how it can make people who know nothing about hockey or the history behind the 1980 games get behind the characters, the struggle, and the beauty of the event. I’m not going to analyze the film; it...
