Mystery Men - Ben

Stiller and Janeane Garofalo team up with an all-star

cast to save Captain Amazing from a madman's evil plans.

This looks really good. It will be the first movie I see

this weekend. Rated PG-13.

Now

Playing

American Pie - Not

worth all the hype but not as raunchy as some people have

made it out to be. Some parts are gross but there is a

sweetness and innocence to the tale. It is entertaining.

Rated R.

Arlington Road - Jeff

Bridges plays an expert on terrorism and Tim Robbins

plays his terroristic neighbor. My mom loved it. She said

she was on the edge of her seat through the whole film.

Rated R.

Big Daddy - A cute

movie with a cute kid and the cute comedy of Adam

Sandler. I liked it but I liked the moronic humor of

"Billy Madison" better. Rated PG-13.

The Blair Witch Project

- A very well-done and scary movie, without all that

gore, splatter and nudity that has plagued the horror

genre for years. No doubt you've heard about it, now go

and see it for yourself. Rated R.

Deep Blue Sea - Think

Jurassic Shark. A cure for Alzheimer's lies with sharks,

but these sharks have had their intelligence enhanced. A

smart shark is a dangerous one. Rated PG-13.

Drop Dead Gorgeous - A comedy

about a beauty pageant in middle America. Kirstie Alley

and Denise Richards star. Rated PG-13.

Eyes Wide Shut - I

haven't seen this yet because I'm afraid of being let

down. I've heard extremely mixed reviews. If you like

Kubrick's work, you'll like this movie. If you liked

"Days of Thunder" and "Cocktail", you

won't. Rated R.

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 Haunting - This

movie stunk. You have seen all of the scary parts in the

preview and by the end you will be very annoyed and not

entertained in the least. Rated PG-13.

Inspector Gadget -

One of America's favorite cartoon detectives gets a live

action movie. Matthew Broderick stars as the bumblingly

brilliant Gadget. Rated PG.

Lake Placid - Ok, so

it's about a giant crocodile. The script is snappy, the

acting is good and it's just a lot of fun. Rated R.

Notting Hill - Julia

Roberts plays a world famous actress and Hugh Grant plays

the charming owner of a charming bookstore. It won't last

too much longer. Rated PG-13.

Runaway Bride - Julia

Roberts and Richard Gere team up again for a romantic

date movie. Quite interesting that the person afraid to

commit is a woman. Rated PG. �

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.

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 - A

critical flop, this underachieving film was a hit with

the masses, at least for one week. Rated PG-13.

The Wood - A

comedy/drama about four young men growing up in The Wood.

I haven't heard much either way. Rated R.

Also

Playing

Cookie's Fortune - Directed by

Robert Altman, this film revolves around a bunch of

eccentric Southerners. Altman is a genius and Glenn Close

stars, it can't be that bad. Rated PG-13.

Doug's First Movie -

The hit cartoon takes to the big screen and entertains

and educates his way through 90 minutes. The voices have

changed recently, but it still has a great sense of

humor. Rated G.

Entrapment - Sean Connery is a

burglar and Catherine Zeta Jones is a cop. What do you

think will happen? Rated PG-13.

Election - A great movie about

politics that doesn't take sides. Set in high school and

starring Reese Witherspoon, this film is worth your time.

Rated R.

Forces of Nature - A

man finds true love away from his fiance'. Some of the

film was shot in Savannah. Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock

star. Rated PG-13.

Instinct - Anthony

Hopkins plays a crazed sociologist, who murdered two men

in Africa. Cuba Gooding Jr. plays the ambitious young

doctor who wants to crack the crazy. Rated R.

Life - Eddie Murphy and Martin

Lawrence are wrongly imprisoned for life. It's surprising

how funny prison can be. Rated R.

The Matrix - Wow. A visually

appealing action/ sci-fi movie. If you haven't seen it,

go. Now. You'll be Kung-Fu'ing your way out to your car.

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.

October Sky - This film has

received rave reviews from everybody I know. It is said

to be very inspirational. Rated PG.

The Out of Towners - A remake

of the Neil Simon classic that flopped like nobody's

business. Goldie Hawn, Steve Martin and John Cleese don't

typically fail, but this movie did. Rated PG-13.

Shakespeare in Love -

Shakespeare is having trouble finishing his new play,

"Romeo and Ethel the Pirate's Daughter." The

winner of the 1998 Academy Award for Best Picture. It

really is good. Check it out. Rated R.

10 Things I Hate About You

- A cute movie loosely based on Shakespeare's

"The Taming of the Shrew". You'll want to fall

in love all over again. Rated PG-13.
