HIGHTECH-COMPUTER GADGETS MORE THAN TECHNOLOGY

Paul Newman, earning an Oscar nomination plus Best Actor honors from the national Society of Film Critics and New York Film Critics Circle, plays Sully, a likeable working stiff who's made a lifetime of bad decisions. But he unexpectedly has a chance to make right on some of them when his estranged son--and grandson--drop into his life.Melanie Griffith and Jessica Tandy, in one of her final roles, are among the talented costars of this engaging film honored on numerous 1994 Ten Best Lists. Newman and Tandy weave a special kind of magic, writes Rolling Stone's Peter Travers. Don't try to analyze it. Just sit back and behold.
