Current movies recommended by the Tampa Bay Times:
1. 42 - The movie about Jackie Robinson breaking pro baseball's color barrier is headed for a long run as a big hit with no errors.
2. The Place Beyond the Pines - Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper set aside their sexiest man alive rivalry for an engrossing indie drama.
3. Mud - When will the academy wake up and give Matthew McConaughey an Oscar nomination? Maybe for this performance as a charismatic hobo.
4. The Company You Keep - Robert Redford directs and stars as a former 1970s anarchist chased today by the FBI and a newspaper reporter (Shia LaBeouf).
5. Trance - Even when director Danny Boyle's movies go off the rails gonzo they're irresistible to the eye, like this one.
