“Three for the Road” (1987), directed by B.W.L. Norton. 98 minutes. Rated PG-13. Fresh from his brooding “Platoon” role, Charlie Sheen proves he can do comedy as he tackles the role of an aspiring politician given the task of escorting a senator’s rebel daughter to a reform institution. Make no mistake, this is a silly film, but silly in all the right ways and in all the right places.

“The Belly of an Architect” (1987), directed by Peter Greenaway. 119 minutes. Rated R. This story of an architect whose obsessions drive his wife into an affair seems long and drawn out at times, but what Greenaway lacks in brevity he more than makes up for in originality. The movie is beautifully directed and visually intriguing, with strong performances, particularly from Brian Dennehy in the lead.

“The Year My Voice Broke” (1988), written and directed by John Duigan. 103 minutes. Rated PG-13. Despite a small production budget and a character-driven plot that doesn’t furnish a lot of action, this Australian film succeeds on many levels, including brilliantly formed characters who make you care about them. It’s about two preteens in New South Wales in the early 1960s, and how they deal with their new sexual stirrings.
