With several movies based on real events hitting theaters, USA Today asks if Hollywood needs to do a better job of getting its facts straight.  Tom Hanks, who plays the real-life Captain Richard Phillips says it’s not the role of the film to get every contentious detail correct. But Peter Landesman, director of the new JFK assassination drama Parkland, says that audiences will get distracted if they’re trying to separate fact from fiction.
