Full disclosure: On some occasions in my career, including presently, I have done work for television programs owned by the Disney Co.

Equally full disclosure, and some of you will shake your umbrellas at me for this one: While I love many things Disney, including any number of motion pictures, “Mary Poppins” never did it for me. I recognize the brilliance of Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke, and I admire what were some pretty nifty visuals for 1964, but all those obnoxiously sunny tunes such as “A Spoonful of Sugar” and “Chim Chim Cher-ee” — no thank you.

So I might not have been as keen to see a movie about the making of “Mary Poppins” than the multiple generations of fans who adore the film. But regardless of whether you can type “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” without even Googling or you’ve never heard of the magical nanny, “Saving Mr. Banks” quite likely might be your cup of tea…

One of the last roles of the late Paul Walker’s career was also one of the most substantial and most challenging parts Walker was ever given.

Walker does some pretty solid work throughout “Hours.” (And if you’re looking to pique ZERO casual interest in your film via the title, by all means call it “Hours.” I mean, “Movie” would be a more provocative label.) One only wishes Walker had stronger, better developed material instead of a promising drama that eventually unravels and seems overlong even with a running time of 96 minutes.

“Hours” is set in the New Orleans of 2005, during and immediately after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. We get glimpses of the storm’s horrific power, mostly via news footage (and in one devastatingly effective moment when one character sees what has happened to his city), but much of the story is something that could have been staged as a one-man play…
