Pick of the Week

ED TV - This movie is

hysterical for the first 45 minutes. It then settles into

a touching piece about the price of fame and celebrity,

The performances are great and it is truly different from

The Truman Show. Rated PG-13.

Now

Playing

The Blair Witch Project

-An innovative horror film that packs quite a punch.

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.

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.

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.

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.

queens in Minnesota fight for the pageant prize. Rated

PG-13.

Lake Placid - Giant

crocodile invades Maine. People say "A'yuh".

Rated R.

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. 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.

October Sky - This film has

received rave reviews from everybody I know. It is said

to be very inspirational. 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.

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.
