New This Week FAHRENHEIT - (R) - Documentary - This is the one that has the right-wing neoconservative War on Terror types screaming. What, they can dish it out but not take it? Cowards. Anyway, Michael Moore—who in the past has brilliantly skewered Corporate America (Roger and Me) and the NRA (Bowling for Columbine)—shines a light on all the economic and political connections between the Bush and bin Laden clans. THE NOTEBOOK - (PG13) - Romantic Drama Directed by Nick Cassavetes and based on the best-selling Nicolas Sparks novel of the same name, if the preview to this movie didn’t darn near choke you up, you probably should just forget about it. It’s a love story recollected by an older man (James Garner) and woman (Gena Rowlands) about a young couple (Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams) who were tragically separated. What happened to them? Go see the movie. But first, hand me a tissue, will ya? SLEEP OVER - (PG) - Comedy - Oh my God, these four teenage girls are, like, so happy to be out of the eighth grade that they have a slumber party that is so cool but then it gets even better, you see, when they start competing against their school’s popular girls in an all-night scavenger hunt, forcing them to borrow Julie’s dad’s car and sneak into these clubs and even kiss their first boys, all without Julie’s mom finding out. TWO BROTHERS - (PG) - Family - A story of twin tiger cubs who are discovered by an adventurer (Guy Pearce) and separated. They are eventually reunited as adults, but are pitted against each other in battle. A big hit at the Maui Film Festival in Wailea. WHITE GIRLS - (PG) - Comedy - After messing up a major drug bust in New York City, two African American FBI agents , Marcus and Kevin Copeland (Shawn and Marlon Wayans), try to impress their boss by volunteering to protect the Wilton Sisters, Tiffany (Dudek) and Brittany (Ward), the heiresses of a hotel empire, from a kidnapping scheme during a short trip from JFK to the Hamptons. Deciding to change the strategy drastically, the brothers use themselves as bait, wearing lots of pale makeup and dresses to pass as the Wilton sisters, while the real sisters are hidden away, safe from harm.
Now Showing AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS - (PG) Action/Adventure - This Jules Verne classic stars Jackie Chan—Jackie Chan!—as Passepartout, the Chinese thief and Steve Coogan as British adventurer Phileas Fogg. Considering that Chan does a lot of his trademark kicking and jumping and kicking while in the act of jumping, we’re guessing the studio strayed a bit from Verne’s original storyline. THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK - (PG13) Science Fiction/Adventure - For those who don’t remember—I had to look it up, so don’t feel bad—Riddick (Vin Diesel, who was actually best when he played that robot killing machine in the animated Iron Giant) was the bad-ass dude who could see in the dark in that film Pitch Black that came out a few years ago. Anyway, now he’s

Oh no, you didn’t caught in some big 26th Century intergalactic war (small intergalactic wars never rate movies, it seems) and lots of stuff gets blown up. DAY AFTER TOMORROW - (PG13) - Action - So the scientists are telling the politicians, “We’re killing the planet!” and the politicians are like, “Yeah, whatever” and then the Ice Age happens, like, the next day and the scientists are like, “I told you so!” and then hilarity ensues. Hey, anything with a 200-foot tidal wave is worth seeing! Stars Dennis Quaid and Jake Gyllenhaal. DODGEBALL (PG13) - Ben Stiller (Zoolander) is the hilarious head of a big fitness palace that threatens to overtake a small local gym. Vince Vaughn (Swingers) leads a group of social misfits to battle the big evil corporate of narcissism in an epic game of, well, Dodgeball. GARFIELD - (PG) - Comedy - Movie version of the comic strip that follows the adventures of a sleepy, orange, fat cat that eats a lot of lasagna and cracks wise (of course) to his owner Jon, who I think can’t really hear him because cats don’t really talk so well. Anyway, they go see beautiful (of course) veterinarian Liz Wilson and get a new friend—an utterly mindless yet thoroughly loveable (of course) dog named Odie HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN - (PG) - Action/Adventure - Third in the Harry Potter dynasty of children’s books, this storyline evolves around Harry’s inability to tame the beast within him, as he goes on the run, not realizing that he is also being chased by a renegade wizard played by sexy master villain Gary Oldman (hello? Bram Stoker’s Dracula?). SHREK 2 - (PG) - Animation - This green ogre (Mike Meyers) marries this princess (Cameron Diaz) and live in swamp with their donkey friend (Eddie Murphy). The princess’ parents happen to be the King (John Cleese) and Queen (Julie Andrews) of Far Far Away and they’re

pissed so the dad plots to have the ogre, Shrek, killed by Puss ‘n Boots (Antonio Banderas) so that the princess can be freed up to marry the Fairy Godmother’s son Prince Charming (Rupert Everett), who we all know doesn’t exist anyway so what is she thinking?! THE STEPFORD WIVES - (PG13) - Comedy - A remake of the 1975 suspense classic about a creepy upper-class suburb—actually, aren’t all suburbs kinda creepy?—where all the wives are seemingly “perfect,” but are actually just the submissive robots their creepy husbands have replaced their real wives with. All-star cast features Nicole Kidman, Mathew Broderick, Faith Hill, Chritopher Walken and Bette Midler. THE TERMINAL - (PG13) - Drama - Steven Spielberg directs Tom Hanks as some Eastern European guy who gets stranded in an airport terminal because his country ceases to exist. It’s a light-hearted film, which is odd considering it’s based on a true story about a guy who ended up killing himself because he couldn’t take spending weeks and weeks in a sterile prison listening to the words “United Flight 167 now boarding at Gate 32 TROY -- (R) -- Epic Adventure - Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom put on dresses and act out that classic war epic about the war between Greek city states and Troy. They’ve got the delicious Diane Kruger playing Helen, the original blonde bombshell whose face supposedly launched a thousand ships, but the movie’s main thrust is on Pitt’s golden locks and iron biceps. VAN HELSING - (PG13) - Thriller/Suspense - In what originally looked like a remake of Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein but actually isn’t, “monster hunter” Dr. Van Helsing (Hugh Jackman) tramps around 19th Century Eastern Europe battling vampire bimbos, Frankenstein’s monster, the Wolf Man and quite possibly the Invisible Man, Jekyll and Hide and Ming the Merciless.
