photo COLD CREEK MANOR
Upscale city-dwellers Cooper Tilson (Dennis Quaid) and his wife, Leah (Sharon Stone), end their days as slaves to the hustle-and-bustle of city life when they pack up the kids and move to a recently repossessed mansion in the sticks of New York state. Once a grand and elegant manor, the house at Cold Creek is now a shambles, but Cooper and Leah have plenty of time to renovate. All's well until a series of terrifying incidents at the house lead the Tilsons to wonder who used to live in their new home -- and to discover what dark secrets are hidden inside. Director Mike Figgis pulls out all the stops to scare you -- and populates the film with a creepy and truly evil ex-con (who turns out to be the manor's former owner), played by Stephen Dorff, a horde of snakes, a hidden cache of pornography, and a bedridden patriarch (Christopher Plummer) who harbors a host of dirty secrets. Adept psychological thriller.

photo DR. SEUSS' THE CAT IN THE HAT
Based on Dr. Seuss' children's classic, this overblown production loosely follows the story of a little boy and girl who sit around bored on a rainy day while their mother is out, until a Cat in a Hat shows up, along with Thing One and Thing Two, and proceeds to trash the house. But just in the nick of time he cleans up his fun and tips his hat and runs. Will the kids confess about the Cat in the Hat who made a mess? This live- action family film features Kelly Preston as the real-estate agent mom who leaves her house with the instructions to not make a mess, with Dakota Fanning and Spencer Breslin as the two kids who fall under the influence of Mike Myers' furry Cat in the Hat. Wonderful set and costume design and production values can't overcome a storyline that dumbs down Dr. Seuss' classic tale.

Director: Bo Welch. Stars: Mike Myers, Alec Baldwin, Kelly Preston, Sean Hayes, Dakota Fanning, Spencer Breslin, Amy Hill, Sean Hayes, Danielle Chuchran, Taylor Rice, Brittany Oaks, Talia-Lynn Prairie.

DUPLEX
photo Darkly humorous tale of a New York yuppie couple's whose dream of owning their own house is shattered by a little old lady. Alex and Nancy live in Manhattan but need more room, and find their salvation in their dream house -- a duplex in Brooklyn. But there's one small problem -- the top floor's a rent-controlled apartment inhabited by an 80-something tenant who blasts her TV late at night and pesters the pair for errands and repairs during the day. What's a landlord to do? Hope that the old lady kicks off? Hire a hit man? A broadly physical comedy that Stiller excels at (if you like the sort of crass toilet humor he partakes in movie after movie) and one that Barrymore might want to knock off her resume.

Director: Danny DeVito. Stars: Ben Stiller, Drew Barrymore, Eileen Essel, Harvey Fierstein, Justin Theroux, James Remar, Robert Wisdom. CC, (MPAA rating: PG-13, 97 min.), Comedy, 2003, Box office gross: $9.610 million, (Miramax), No VHS SRP, Priced for rental, Available: 3/2, DVD: Day & Date.

photo GOOD BOY!
Twelve-year-old Owen Baker has been working as a dog- walker all summer long, and his hard work has finally paid off -- he gets to adopt a dog of his own. But Owen gets more than puppy love when he discovers his new dog, Hubble, is really Canid 3942, an interplanetary scout from the "Dog Star" Sirius. Thousands of years ago, dogs from Sirius came to colonize and dominate the Earth, but rumors have spread across the galaxy that Earth dogs have strayed from their original mission and have become -- gulp -- pets. Hubble has come to investigate and takes Owen into his confidence, giving him the ability to hear dogs talk. Now Owen must help Hubble train a group of undisciplined neighborhood dogs to shape up for a visit from their leader, the powerful Greater Dane. The fate of all Earth dogs hangs in the balance. The film combines CGI and well-trained dogs to make the action and talking realistic, and, of course, there's wonderful jokes at the expense of adults.

photo HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG
This tragic film, based on the best seller by Andre Dubus III, is a gripping exploration of the American dream gone awry. Jennifer Connelly and Ben Kingsley star as two people driven to desperate measures to claim ownership of a house. It's only a small bungalow in Northern California, but to Kathy Nicolo (Connelly), it's the last vestige of hope for reclaiming a life that was nearly lost to addiction. When a bureaucratic error forces her eviction, Kathy is left homeless and helpless to stop the house from being sold at a fraction of its worth. The new owner is Massoud Amir Behrani (Kingsley), a former Colonel from Iran, who sees the house as the fulfillment of his American dream. Having worked at menial jobs to maintain a pretense of affluence, he pours the last of his life savings into the venture. As Kathy and Behrani's fight for the house escalates, Kathy finds an unlikely ally in the officer sent to evict her, Deputy Sheriff Lester Burdon (Ron Eldard), who becomes dangerously devoted to her cause. What begins as a conflict over a small rundown bungalow spirals into a clash of cultures that propels everyone involved towards an inescapable and heartbreaking climax. A fantastic supporting actress role by Oscar-nominated Shohreh Aghdashloo as Behrani's wife, caught in the middle of the conflict.

photo MAGDALENE SISTERS, THE
Emotional and ultimately inspiring story of women who were forced into manual labor at the Magdalene Laundries in Ireland while ostensibly being sent to the Irish Catholic Magdalene Convent, run by the Sisters of Mercy. Sent by the Church to cleanse their mortal sins, such as having a child out of wedlock, being raped or simply flirting, the woman were detained for indefinite sentences and often abused. The practices of the laundries occurred through much of the 20th century -- and involved some 30,000 women -- and finally came to light in the 1970s, and the last of these institutions was shut down in 1996. The film follows three women sent to the Convent on the same day in 1964 and details their oppression at the hands of sadistic nuns. The film won the prestigious Gold Lion Best Picture Award at the Venice Film Festival, the Discovery Award at the 2002 Toronto Film Festival and a Best Film nominee at the 2003 British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards (BAFTA). And, of course, has been condemned by the Catholic Church.

photo In 1953, when women's roles were rigidly defined, novice art history professor Katherine Watson (Julia Roberts) begins teaching at the prestigious all-female college Wellesley. Despite its academic reputation for educating the best and the brightest, it's still an environment where success is measured by how well its students marry. Encouraging these women to strive for a more enlightened and self-fulfilled future, Watson challenges the administration and inspires her students to look beyond the image of what is, and consider the possibilities of what might be.

PREY FOR ROCK AND ROLL
Fabulous rock drama about a struggling all-female rock group has a knock-out performance by Gina Gershon. The Clam Dandys are four struggling L.A. rockers who have been playing dives and low-life rock venues for far too long. The group's leader -- Jacki (Gershon) -- is pushing 40 and having difficulty reconciling approaching middle age with her rock and roll lifestyle of sex and drugs. She's tired of waiting for her big break and on the verge of quitting, though her younger bandmates want to continue forging ahead. To complicate matters, a sleazy record agent dangles an elusive recording contract in front of them, creating more turmoil and anxiety for the band. Gershon is alternately naive and wise, but always sexy and charismatic. And, darn it, the original numbers (written by Cheri Lovedog and Robin Whitehouse) rock the soundtrack. An outstanding effort that wowed audiences at several film festivals but, unfortunately, never got a decent theatrical release.

Director: Alex Steyermark. Stars: Gina Gershon, Drea de Matteo, Shelly Cole, Lori Petty, Marc Blucas, Ivan Martin, Eddie Driscoll. CC, (MPAA rating: R, 103 min.), Rock drama, 2003, (Lions Gate), No VHS SRP, Priced for rental, Available: 3/9, DVD: Day & Date.

photo RUNDOWN, THE
Beck (The Rock) doesn't look for or try to make trouble for anyone. But trouble is what he's hired to clean up -- he's a muscle- for-hire "retrieval" expert who wants to retire and open a small restaurant -- and there's one final mess he's got to get out of before he can leave it all behind. And this one just keeps getting more and more tangled, like the Amazon jungle he's been sent to. At the center of his current trouble is a wise-ass named Travis (Seann William Scott), a fast-talking double dealer whose dad has commissioned Beck to retrieve him from an adventure in Brazil seeking a legendary gold object. Travis proves to be more of a handful than Beck expected, not only because of his mouth and his heels-dug-in reluctance to leave, but because of a couple of other complications he brings with him: Mariana (Rosario Dawson), a Brazilian rebel who seeks the gold object as a way to free the locals from the grips of an unhinged despot, Hatcher (Christopher Walken), who has turned the jungle and its inhabitants into his own empire. Beck doesn't like to fight. But he's going to have to unleash everything he's got to keep on top of his smack-talking quarry, the rebellious woman, the crazy tyrant, the weird monkeys, the hallucinogenic fruit, the backs-to-the-wall rebels, the perilous terrain, the hidden traps and every other obstacle that this jungle throws at him. Great martial arts jungle action sequences choreographed by Jackie Chan stunt-double Andy Cheng.

photo SHATTERED GLASS
Hayden Christensen stars as Stephen Glass, a staff writer for the respected current events and policy magazine The New Republic and a freelance feature writer for publications such as Rolling Stone, Harper's and George. By the mid-90s, Glass' articles had turned him into one of the most sought-after young journalists in Washington, but a bizarre chain of events -- chronicled in Buzz Bissinger's September, 1998 Vanity Fair article upon which "Shattered Glass" is based -- suddenly stopped his career in its tracks. "Shattered Glass" is a study of a very talented -- and at the same time very flawed -- character. It is also a look inside our culture's noblest profession, one that protects our most precious freedoms by revealing the truth, and what happens when our trust in that profession is called into question.

Director: Billy Ray. Stars: Hayden Christensen, Peter Sarsgaard, Hank Azaria, Chloe Sevigny, Melanie Lynskey, Steve Zahn, Rosario Dawson. CC, (MPAA rating: PG-13, 90 min.), Drama, 2003, Box office gross: $2.053 million, (Lions Gate), No VHS SRP, Priced for rental, Available: 3/23, DVD: Day & Date.

SINGING DETECTIVE, THE
photo Weird and way-off-beat big-screen version of the Dennis Potter/BBC TV series. Robert Downey Jr. stars as Dan Dark, a penny-ante crime-thriller writer stuck in a hospital bed, suffering from a horrible skin ailment that prevents him from moving. Heavily medicated, the border between reality and fiction starts to blur in Dark's mind as he goes over the plot of one of his books that Hollywood wants to turn into a movie. The story -- the murder investigation of a prostitute in 1950's Los Angeles by a detective who sings in a band -- becomes woven together with his own painful childhood memories. Dark is living in a fevered film-noir hell constructed by his own twisted psyche, where everyone is his enemy and no one can be trusted. The bizarre scenario has Dark not only crooning in front of a band as his detective's alter ego, but also includes risque musical numbers by the hospital staff. A strange outing.

He winds up being nursed by Marin's reluctant mother, Erica Barry (Diane Keaton) -- a successful, divorced New York playwright. In the process, Harry develops more heart pangs -- the romantic kind -- for Erica, an age appropriate woman whom he finds beguiling. However, some habits die hard.

photo 21 GRAMS
This deeply moving drama, written by Guillermo Arriaga ("Amores Perros"), explores the emotionally and physically charged existences of three people over a period of several months. An accident unexpectedly throws their lives and destinies together. Initially not even acquainted, the trio and their destinies become irrevocably intertwined in a fusion of love, redemption, and obsession. College professor Paul Rivers (Sean Penn) and his wife Mary (Charlotte Gainsbourg) find their union precariously balanced between life and death. He is mortally ill and awaiting a heart transplant, while she hopes to become pregnant with his child through artificial insemination. Cristina Peck (Naomi Watts), having matured since her reckless past, is a beloved older sister to Claudia (Clea DuVall), a good wife to Michael (Danny Huston) and loving mother to two little girls. Her family radiates hope and joy. Much farther down the socioeconomic scale, ex-con Jack Jordan (Benicio Del Toro) and his wife Marianne (Melissa Leo) struggle to provide for their two children while Jack reaffirms his commitment to religion. A tragic accident that claims several lives places these couples in each other's orbit. In the aftermath, Paul confronts his own mortality, Cristina takes action to come to terms with her present and perhaps her future, and Jack's faith is put to the test. If spiritual equilibrium is to be regained by any one of them, it could come at great cost to the others. Yet the will to live, and the instinct to reach out to another person for support, remains ever-present among them all. 21 Grams refers to the weight we lose when we die.
