- The Replacements - Remember

the football strike where replacement players played

instead of the Pros? This movie is about that. keanu

Reeves leads a Gene Hackman coached team of losers to

glory. It looks humorous. Rated R.

(and incredible actors) play old astronauts that are sent

up to space for a rescue mission. We love outer space and

we love Clint Eastwood. This film should be very

well-made. Rated PG-13.

Lawrence looks to solidify his box office power with this

comedy about a policeman who goes undercover to protect a

damsel in distress. Rated PG-13.

- Chicken Run - The creators of

Wallace and Gromitt bring their whimsical vision of

chickens flying the coop to the screen. Mel Gibson stars

as an American rooster that helps the chickens avoid

film about how far some people will go to be popular and

how much further others will go to stay popular. Rated

PG-13.

- Loser - Jason Biggs (American

Pie) and Mena Suvari (American Beauty) play American kids

at a college in America (New York City). This was

directed by Amy Heckerling, who gave the world Fast Times

at Ridgemint High and Clueless. I say give it a chance.

Rated PG-13.

- Me, Myself and Irene - This

movie is hysterically funny. The audience laughed like

little girls. And though Jim Carrey is the star, and he

is terrific, this is not, repeat, NOT, for children.

Rated R.

- Nutty Professor II: The Klumps

- Eddie Murphy plays the entire overweight family

fromthe first movie. Buddy Love is trying to escape and

it is up to the loveable Sherman Klump to stop him. Janet

Jackson also stars. rated PG-13.

- Pokemon the Movie 2000 - Since

bashing Pokemon last fall, I have become a moderate fan

of the televison program. However, the last movie was

horrible. This will have to be much better to jumpstart

the show's waning popularity and get me in the theater.

Rated G.

- Scary Movie - The long-awaited

spoof of the recent teen horror flicks finally hits the

screen. Brought to by the Wayans Brothers, if you liked

don't allow young children to see it, There are a lot of

adult themes. Rated R.

her grandfather's house. Based onthe hit children's

- What Lies Beneath - Harrison

Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer star in this thriller form

Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump). Let's face it, Ford needs

a solid hit again and Pfeiffer could use one too. I would

hate to have the taste of Dangerous Minds and Random

Hearts in my mouth for too much longer. Besides, the

previews look really good. Rated R.

- X-Men - Mutants are everywhere

and they can kick evil's butt. All of your favorite X-Men

are here: Wolverine, Magneto, Cyclops, Storm and

Professor X. This movie, directed by Bryan Singer (The
