Opening Friday

American Pie - Perhaps

the movie with the best buzz of the summer. They claim it

is in the same vein as "There's Something about

Mary" and the world can always use a sex comedy.

Rated R.

Arlington Road - Jeff

Bridges plays an expert on terrorism and Tim Robbins

plays his terroristic neighbor. The previews have Bridges

running in slo-mo towards a building, which is very

reminiscent of "Blown Away" which was terrible.

Rated R.

Now Playing

Austin Powers 2 : The Spy

Who Shagged Me - Hysterically funny with bigger

laughs than the first. It can be a little bawdy so don't

just drop the kids at the film. Rated PG-13.

Big Daddy - A funny

movie and very cute. It is in the same vein as The

Wedding Singer, having less to do with the likes of Happy

Gilmore. I liked it though. Rated PG-13.

The General's Daughter

- John Travolta plays an investigator looking into

the murder of ...the general's daughter. Lots of suspense

and drama, I just hope he sings Greased Lightning. Rated

R.

The Mummy - A fun

action adventure starring Brendan Fraser. The effects are

nice and there are a few jumpy type suspenseful moments.

Rated PG-13.

Notting Hill - Julia

Roberts plays a world famous actress and Hugh Grant plays

the charming owner of a charming bookstore. This is the

date movie right now. Rated PG-13.

South Park: Bigger, Longer,

and Uncut - Do not take the children! This is really

sharp and funny but also very raunchy. I've seen it three

times and it gets better and better. Rated R.

Star Wars: The Phantom

Menace - So, it's not the second coming. This is a

great movie with effects that mess with your mind long

after. It is a perfect beginning to the story and the

performances are great. Rated PG.

Summer of Sam - This

movie has elements of all of Spike Lee's films but not

the heart of one of them. The acting is strong but the

film is way too long. Stay away. Rated R.

Tarzan - Disney didn't

make a lot of noise about this movie, but it makes as big

a splash as the best of them. It has a good story, nice

songs, and incredible visuals. Rated G.

Wild, Wild West -

Number one movie in America right now but the reviews

have been terrible. I don't know where it went wrong, I

guess I'll wait until it hits the dollar theater to find

out. Rated PG-13.
