Hollywood Semi-Confidential: a fictionalization of producer Art Linson’s chatty, catty tell-all. (The bearded, overweight Alec Baldwin, for example, becomes a bearded, overweight Bruce Willis, “as himself.”) The producer protagonist is curiously undercharacterized — though heftily embodied in Robert De Niro — and the fictionalizing renders the whole thing less personal and pointed. An occasional observation rings a bell and fetches a chuckle. With Robin Wright Penn, John Turturro, Stanley Tucci, Catherine Keener, Michael Wincott, and (also “as himself”) Sean Penn; directed by Barry Levinson. (2008) — Duncan Shepherd
