Opening Friday

Master of

Disguise It will be very good to see Dana Carvey back on the silver screen.

In this comedy he stars as a waiter who learns he comes from a long line

of masters of disguise and must use his powers to save his family. Let

us hope that this is better than some of his earlier ventures as a leading

man. Anyone remember "Opportunity Knocks" or "Clean Slate?"

I didn't think so. Rated PG.

Signs The

director of "The Sixth Sense" and "Unbreakable" returns

with this thriller about crop circles and a possible alien invasion. I

say possible because this guy is always throwing curveballs at the audience.

Mel Gibson stars as a farmer in the middle of this drama. Rated PG-13.

Now Playing

Austin Powers

in Goldmember This is the movie I have been waiting all summer for. Mike

Myers resumes his roles as Austin, Dr. Evil, that really gross, fat guy

and the new villain, Goldmember. Michael Caine also stars as Austin's

father. This should be as good as the other two, if not better. Rated

PG-13.

Crocodile

Hunter: Collision Course This film based upon the successful Animal Planet

series has Steve Irwin and his wife, Terri, trying to protect a crocodile

who has swallowed something that some bad guys want. Along the way, Steve

will introduce the audience to other animals in the Outback. Rated PG.

Divine Secrets

of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood Sandra Bullock stars in this film about a group

of women who have a special bond of friendship. Ashley Judd, Maggie Smith

and Ellen Burstyn also star in this film. Rated PG-13.

Eight Legged

Freaks This movie looks like a lot of fun. David Arquette and Kari Wuhrer

star in this film, brought to you by the makers of "Independence

Day." The plot focuses on spiders that have mutated overnight into

giant killing machines. It is up to a ragtag bunch of people to save the

town. I have high hopes for this one. Rated PG-13.

Halloween:

Resurrection I wish they would stop making these movies. They will never

be very good. I know that now. Michael Meyers comes back...again. This

time to his house where a greedy Web site has locked a group of teens

in the seemingly safe house (He's really dead this time, right?) for a

Web cast that is being watched around the world. Jamie Lee Curtis is back

once again as well. I was so disappointed with "Jason X," that

I fear this movie will be just as bad. Rated R.

K-19:The Widowmaker

Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson star in this film based upon a true story

of a Russian submarine, a brave captain (Ford) and his valiant crew. If

you like this type of movie, meaning claustrophobic military action, you

will probably like this. Rated PG-13.

Like Mike

Lil' Bow Wow stars as a small fry who finds some shoes with the initials

"MJ" in them. The shoes turn out to be magical and Lil' Bow

Wow wows the NBA. A bunch of real NBA stars are in the film. Rated PG.

Lilo and Stitch

This film from Disney deals with a rogue alien who lands in Hawaii and

is adopted as a dog by a little girl. The previews, which have involved

some of the more memorable Disney characters of late, have been great.

Let's hope the move is as good. Rated PG.

Men In Black

II Pay no attention to the critics. They are way too harsh to this movie.

If you liked the first film, you will like this one. It is that easy.

The jokes are plentiful, the aliens look great and Will Smith and Tommy

Lee Jones are great together. Plus, there is a great cameo from David

Cross, who is one of my comedy heroes. Rated PG-13.

Minority Report

Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg team up for this film based on a story

kept me guessing. Hey, it's got Tom Cruise and was directed by Steven

Spielberg. What more could you ask for? Rated PG-13.

Mr. Deeds

Not as silly as "Billy Madison" but not as sicky sweet as "Big

Daddy," this film gives Sandler fans what they want, which is a good

time. In the future he should go
