‘The Homesman’ is moving to the Magic Lantern

If you haven't yet seen "The Homesman" — Tommy Lee Jones' adaptation of the Glendon Swarthout novel — you'll have another full week at least to catch it. The Western may be leaving AMC River Park Square, but the Magic Lantern is picking it up.

"The Homesman," which Jones co-wrote, directed and stars in (along with Hilary Swank and Meryl Streep), received an 81 percent rating among critics on Rotten Tomatoes (just 54 percent for general audiences). Here's what Moira MacDonald wrote in the Seattle Times: "Swank and Streep are big stars with famous faces, and yet disappear into their roles; these characters convey both quiet strength and gentle kindness."

Historical aside: Novelist Swarthout also wrote novels that became the movies "Where the Boys Are," "They Came to Cordura," "Bless the Beasts and Children" and "The Shootist."

That last one is a Don Siegel film that stars John Wayne in his final role.
