lowbrow. David Arquette is the best thing about the film.

Also

Playing

American Beauty - This

comes out on video this week, but the dollar theater is

cheaper than renting videos. Winner of five Academy

Awards, American Bauty is well worth whatever price you

pay. Rated R.

Bicentennial Man -

Robin Williams stars as a robot who yearns to be human.

This film got mild reviews and was very unassuming and

non-challenging. This would be the place to see it. Rated

PG.

Drowning Mona - I

heard mixed reviews about this film. Bette Midler plays

the most hated woman in town and everyone in town is a

suspect in her death. Rated PG-13.

Galaxy Quest - A very

fun movie that leaves you begging for a Galaxy Quest 2.

The cast was great (Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver) and the

jokes are great. Rated PG.

Next Friday - The

sequel to the popular film starring Ice Cube. Chris

Tucker (Smokey) does not appear in the film and that is

really too bad. Rated R.

people hail this as the best sci-fi/horror movie of the

year. Others say it is the stupidest movie ever made. You

decide, because I'm not going to go see it. Rated R.

Johnny Depp stars in this film about the Devil and

Literature . It was directed by exiled director Roman

Polanski. Rated R.

The Whole Nine Yards -

Bruce Willis and Matthew Perry star in this film about a

hitman and a very nervous man in suburbia. Guess which

one plays which ? This movie did very well in the big

theaters and now canbe seen for a dollar. Sounds good to

me. Rated R.

Toy Story 2 -

Surpassing the original in animation and humor, Toy Story

2 brings back all your favorite toys and introduces you

to a few new ones. Worth the price of admission. Rated G.

What Planet Are You From

- You may be asking yourself the very same question

if you see this film. It looked funny, but looks can be

decieving. Especially when the film leaves the first run

theaters in a week. Rated R.
