Roman Polanski’s “Oliver Twist,” 2005
I went to see Roman Polanski’s 2005 release of “Oliver Twist” a couple of days ago. I was not disappointed, but I wasn’t very impressed, either. One of the good points is that the story is not in any way “Hollywoodized,” it is told in a straight, true-to-the-source way. …

This Christmas movie
