T he 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.

Superstar - I am not a

big fan of the "take an SNL sketch and make it a 90

minute film" idea, but Molly Shannon is funny and

Wayne's World was surprisingly good. Flip a coin. Rated

PG-13

The Story of Us - Want

to watch all the ups and downs of a fictional marriage?

At least this one stars Bruce Willis and Michelle

Pfeiffer and not your neighbors. Rated PG-13.

The Straight Story -

You may have heard about the man who drove 300 miles on

his riding lawnmower to visit his sick brother. This is

the movie based on that story and it is directed by David

Lynch (Twin Peaks). This is only in Atlanta, too. Seems

Fayette County Theaters only get the big movies that take

up two or three screens. Rated G. (And that's not a

typo).

Also

Playing

Big Daddy - Adam

Sandler comedy about a slacker who adopts a little boy to

win his girlfriend back. Sweet, cute, and funny. I'd

really like some old school Sandler comedy though. Billy

Madison 2 anyone? Rated PG-13.

Bowfinger - Great

comedy about a failing director trying to make his

Hollywood dreams come true. This was written by Steve

Martin and is rib-hurtingly funny. Rated PG-13.

Deep Blue Sea -

Scientists experiment with sharks and deal with the

consequences on the next Ricki Lake. Rated R.

Drive Me Crazy - The

world loves the girl who plays Sabrina (Melissa Joan

Hart), let's put her in an awful teen comedy that is made

of recycled teen movie cliche's. Rated PG-13.

For Love of the Game -

If there's one thing that Kevin Costner does well, it's a

baseball movie. This one is directed by Sam Raimi, a

former wildman director known for the Evil Dead trilogy.

He has toned down of late and become a seriously

ambitious, yet still daring director. Rated PG-13

Inspector Gadget - It

looked better than it really was, but it is fun for the

whole family. Technically, you shouldn't ever see Claw's

face, but...whatever. Rated PG.

Mickey Blue Eyes -

Hugh Grant marries into the mob and must try to fit in

despite his intelligence, good looks and charm. Rated

PG-13.

Mumford - A man poses

as a psychiatrist and helps a small town full of small

town neuroses. It has a solid cast but it lasted all of a

breath in the big theaters. Rated R.

Teaching Mrs. Tingle -

Students get revenge on a teacher that frames them for

cheating. It probably has the usual sparkling Kevin

Williamson dialogue but it doesn't look like anybody is

having any fun. Rated PG-13.

The Astronaut's Wife -

Finally, Johnny Depp is making some bad movies. I was

almost positive he was a cyborg. This movie looks really

lame, like Rosemary's Baby from Space. Rated R.

The Iron Giant - An

animated film that pays tribute to the classic Warner

Brothers animation. Your kids should enjoy it and so

should you. Rated PG.
