THE GOODS
(What's in stores today)
• Critic's video pick: My Name Is Joe, from director Ken Loach, focuses on the struggle of a recovering alcoholic to save a young soccer player from a life of crime. Film critic Margaret A. McGurk points out Peter Mullan won the best actor award at the Cannes Film Festival for his work in this gritty drama, featuring Scottish accents so thick the movie uses subtitles.
BRAND SPANKING NEW
• Soggy crackers: A summer edition of Nabisco Biscuit Co.'s Barnum's Animals Crackers adds underwater critters to the range of cookie shapes. (Sorry, no manatees.) Dolphins, sea turtles, crabs, sea horses and sharks join the ranks of the more familiar cookies shaped like elephants and lions. For every box of the marine collection sold, the company will donate 5 cents, up to $100,000 total, to the American Zoo and Aquarium Association's species survival programs.
