Old School  OFFICIAL SITE  - Whatever else this movie about some older guys who create a fraternity of sorts is, it's VERY funny.  

Daredevil   OFFICIAL SITE  Ben Affleck, Michael Clarke Duncan, Jennifer Garner, Colin Farrell

Dark Blue  Kurt Russell  - Not great, but very good movie about police corruption, set in Los Angeles at the time of the Rodney King beating (but not about that).  More drama than action, but enough action too, if that's what you're looking for.  Go see it.

The Hot Chick  OFFICIAL SITE    - I'm inclined to dig out my remarks on the last Rob Schneider movie and post them here. Pretty standard for him, if you've like any of his movies, you'll like this. Premise is switch of bodies between pretty teen girl and scruffy guy crook. Sometimes funny, but stupid funny.

Sweet Home Alabama   OFFICIAL SITE    - Redneck girl (Witherspoon) who's become a sophisticated fashion designer becomes engaged to politician son of NYC mayor (Bergen), heads home to get old hubby to sign divorce papers... caught in various lies, also confused by what she really wants. Sweet movie.

Analyze That    OFFICIAL SITE  - Some funny stuff in this sequel to Analyze This. Robert De Niro, Billy Crystal and Lisa Kudrow reprise their roles as mob boss, shrink and his wife. You may enjoy this more if you missed the first one; if you saw the first, there's a chance this may disappoint.

Extreme Ops  OFFICIAL SITE  - The scenery is terrific, the skiing great, the stunts were real stunts, not digital effects, so kudos to the film crew for catching it all. As for the story, it's just a weak justification for the skiing, ski boarding, skateboarding, and other action.

The Banger Sisters   OFFICIAL SITE    Susan Sarandon, Goldie Hawn, Erika Christensen  - Think late 60's into the 70's, groupies like the Plaster Casters... but these "sisters" collected polaroids of the stars they did. What happens when one becomes a proper socialite married to a lawyer / politician, the other a bartender who still lives in that past, but loses her job, and looks the other up? Maybe a few lessons to be learned, but mostly a fun movie, even if you didn't live through the era.

About A Boy  OFFICIAL SITE

The Rookie  OFFICIAL SITE  - Based on a true story, this is a good baseball movie, but even more one about motivation (of the high school team he coaches) and determination (to succeed, once he's committed to trying out as the "old man" on a pro team). And what it's really all about, Alfie, is following your dreams.

The Count of Monte Cristo  OFFICIAL SITE  - I read the Dumas novel as a pre-teen in the Classics Illustrated version, but don't recall seeing this as a movie before, though it's been done a dozen times. This version has the perfect balance of drama, romance, suspense, humor and adventure. Guess you might say I liked it a lot - though I wasn't expecting to. James Caviezel, Richard Harris, Guy Pearce and Luis Guzman are among the more recognizable cast members.

In the Bedroom   -  Great acting by Tom Wilkinson, Sissy Spacek, Marisa Tomei, well, the entire cast, in this beautiful film set in an old Maine fishing town. Romance, tragedy, family relationships. A thinking movie, so unfortunately not going to be a blockbuster, though may get another shot after the Oscar nominations and later awards roll in for it.   TRAILER         ...   buy the book at Amazon    ... buy the soundtrack at Amazon

Death to Smoochy  OFFICIAL SITE - I like Danny De Vito's acting; but each movie he directs is worse than the one before. Brilliant performances by Robin Williams, Edward Norton, John Stewart, De Vito and others are not enough to save this movie. You might even want to think twice about rental when it comes out on video - which will likely be swift.

Big Trouble  OFFICIAL SITE  - Sorta slapstick, sorta not... Tim Allen, Rene Russo, Janeane Garofalo and the rest of the cast play the gags pretty straight. Dave Barry (yeah, the one you read each Sunday) wrote the book it was based on - that should give you an idea of the zaniness. Might want to wait until nothing better is playing... or for the video or DVD.

Osmosis Jones OFFICIAL SITE - I've sat through some pretty awful movies, but it's been a while since I've been tempted to walk out so early; yet I did stay, in order to report to you if there was any redeeming value at all. Zilch. Bill Murray portrays Frank, a genuine slob, in whose body Osmosis Jones, a white blood cell, helps fight the battle against bacterial and viral invaders. Most of the movie is animation; both that and the live action segments contain typical Farrelly brothers gross out material, but lack the humor of some of their earlier work. There's certainly a question about who they think their audience is this time - ads and the animation would have you think it was a kids movie - clearly not! - yet it's too juvenile for many adults. The "health education" marketing is also certainly flawed. I can't say enough bad things about this movie. I will offer this advice - skip it.
