Pick of the Week

- Radio Days - It's an older

movie, circa 1980 something, but it has a great cast, a

great script and wonderful direction. It is a very richly

textured Woody Allen film with Allen only heard as the

narrator. Watch for a very young Seth Green (Scott Evil

in the Austin Powers films). Rated PG.

Now

Playing

- A Dog of Flanders - All I know

is Cheryl ladd is in it. Rated PG.

- The Blair Witch Project -It

will be on video by Halloween, then you'll confuse it

with your camping trip video from this summer Rated R.

- Bowfinger - A soon to be

classic. Steve Martin plays a terrible director (think Ed

Wood) who makes his crew's Hollywood dreams come true.

The laughs keep coming and Eddie Murphy is brilliant in a

dual role. Rated PG-13.

- Chill Factor - Cuba Gooding

Jr. and Skeet Ulrich play two men on the run from

terrorists. At leaast it will b better than Cuba in those

Pepsi One commercials. Rated R.

- Dudley DoRight - Brendan Fraser

looks to continue making movies out of all the old

cartoons. Next up: My Little Pony: Live Action. Rated PG.

- Deep Blue Sea - Think Jurassic

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

sharks have had their intelligence enhanced and a smart

shark is a dangerous one. Rated PG-13.

- The Haunting - This remake

boasts new effects and a talented cast,but it is boring

with tons of gaps. It is heavy with lameness. 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.

- The Iron Giant - Classic

looking cartoon about a young boy and a giant friend from

outer space. It looks very good. Rated G.

- Mickey Blue Eyes - Hugh Grant

plays the charming Brit who is marrying into the mob.

He'll smile lots and make the women swoon. Rated PG-13.

- Mystery Men - Here's the review

from my friend Kurt - When it's funny, it's real

funny, but when it's dull, it's real dull. Not all bad,

but not all that. Rated PG-13.

- Outside Providence - A young

man gets in a little trouble with the law and is sent to

private school. This was written and produced by the

Farrelly Brothers. It looks like it could be a lot of

fun. Alec Baldwin stars. Rated PG-13.

- The Sixth Sense - This is an

incredible movie with one of the best endings in recent

history. It is well acted, masterfully directed and ultra

creepy without being ultra-blatant. Rated PG-13.

- Stigmata - With the fall

season, comes horror movies. This film stars Patricia

Arquette as a woman posessed. Rated R.

- Stir of Echoes - Kevin Bacon

gets hypnotized and becomes a conduit to the spirit world

Rated R.

- Teaching Mrs. Tingle - A

revenge comedy written and directed by Kevin Williamson,

the man who brings you Dawson's Creek week after week.

This film is allegedly less like Scream and more like

Heathers. Too bad. Rated PG-13.

- The Astronaut's Wife - not

prescreened for critics. That usually means it's

terrible. Rated R.

- The Muse - Albert Brooks gets

gets inspiration from a new muse played by Sharon Stone.

Jeff Bridges and Andie McDowell also star. rated PG-13.

- The Thirteenth Warrior -

Antonio Banderas plays an unwilling participant in the

Crusades. Rated PG-13.

(a really good burglar). This is a remake and it is

getting good reviews. Rated R.

- Universal Soldier 2 - Jean

Claude Van Damme battles a new breed of Universal

Soldiers (including the WCW's Goldberg). Gee, I wonder if

he'll win? Rated R.

Also

Playing

- Austin Powers 2 - I found this

to be funnier than the original. Mike Myers is at home

playing wacky characters and the Austin Powers series is

like the 90's version of The Pink Panther. Rated PG-13.

- Big Daddy - Adam Sandler comedy

about a slacker who adopts a little boy to win his

girlfriend back. Sweet, cute, and funny. Rated PG-13.

- Drop Dead Gorgeous - Beauty

queens in Minnesota fight for the pageant prize. Rated

PG-13.

- Lake Placid - Giant crocodile

invades Maine. People say "A'yuh". Rated R.

- The Matrix - Wow. A visually

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

go. Now. 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.

- Muppets From Space - I can't

help but feel that the world has let the Muppets down.

They are as cute and funny as ever, yet hardly anyone

watches their movies or television shows anymore. For

shame. Rated PG.

- Never Been Kissed - Drew

Barrymore stars as a cub reporter who goes undercover in

high school. David Arquette also stars. Rated PG-13.

- Notting Hill - A world famous

actress runs into a small bookstore in Notting Hill (get

it?) and she meets a charming young man and falls in

love. Rated PG-13.

- 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 - Heralded as

possibly the worst movie of the summer, Wild, Wild,West

tries to worm a dollar out of the American public yet

again. Rated PG-13.
