Movie critic Steven Rea's picks of the week

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Fathom Events, Cinemark University 6, United Artists King of Prussia, and United Artists Riverview, Sunday and Wednesday, Jan. 20. www.fathomevents.com

Paul Newman does his own stunts, pedaling backward, planking, handstanding on an old safety bicycle during the "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" montage in the middle of the 1969 classic outlaws-on-the-run western, loosely based on the train robbing escapades of the real-life Hole in the Wall Gang. Newman is Butch, Robert Redford is the Sundance Kid (originally from Montgomery County's Mont Clare), Katherine Ross is schoolteacher Etta Place, who runs off with both of them. See it on the big screen at one of these two special Fathom Event screenings.

Ray Donovan, Seasons 1-3 Netflix, Showtime, other platforms. The new (fourth) season of Ann Biderman's Showtime series probably won't debut until July, so now's the perfect time to catch up - and binge, baby, binge - on this character-driven crime drama set in the showbiz circles of L.A. It's particularly instructive, too, to watch Liev Schreiber in the title role: a "Southy" from Boston relocated to sunny So-Cal, where he works as a fixer for a law firm with close ties to the film and music worlds. By contrast, in Spotlight, in theaters now and up for best picture at the Golden Globes, Schreiber plays Marty Baron, the newly hired editor of the Boston Globe, just in from Miami, overseeing the paper's investigation into child-molestation charges against priests in the Boston Archdiocese. He's quiet, thoughtful, ethical.

As the first season of Ray Donovan unfolds, those same scandals - pedophile priests in Boston - loom large over Schreiber's Ray and his brothers, played by Eddie Marsan and Dash Mihok. Ray may be quiet and thoughtful, but his ethics are definitely questionable.

With episodes directed by the likes of Michael Apted, John Dahl, and Lesli Linka Glatter and scripts by Biderman, Ron Nyswaner, and Michael Tolkin, among others, Ray Donovan is one of the smartest, sharpest series out there now.
