| Brother Bear | Volces of Joaquin Phoenix, Michael Clarke Duncan, Rick Moranis | “Lessons are learned, friendships are made and a new generation of children falls in love with a new generation of Disney characters.”- Cal Creek | B- | G.85 minutes.South Wind 12 |
| Elf | Will Ferrell, Zooey Deschanel, James Caan, Mary Steenburgen | “Ridiculous as the plot is,the film doesn't take itself seriously,which is perhaps why it works so well.The film is filmsy Christmas fun and it only takes Will Ferrell in tights to make us ask ourselves why we just can't believe.”- Lindsey Ramsey | B | PG.95 minutes.South Wind 12 |
| Lost in Translation | Bill Murray, Scariett Johansson, Glovanni Ribisi | “Less elusive than her visually dreamy but conceptually fuzzy debut,The Virgin Sulciides,Sofia Coppola's new film is funny,sad and great to listen to,with exquisite performances,Murray deserves every bit of the Oscar attention he'll receive this winter.”- Stephen Shupe | A- | R.105 minutes.Liberty Hall |
| Love Actually | Hugh Grant, Keira Knightley, Laura Linney, Emma Thompson | “The cast is phenomenal.The movie is charmingly funny,heart-breakingly sad and undeniably cute in a way that makes single people want to slit their wrists.Either way,the film is brilliant.”- Lindsey Ramsey | A- | R.129 minutes.South Wind 12 |
| The Matrix Revolutions | Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne,Carrie-Anne Moss,Hugo Weaving | “Even though the movie looks nice,it is better than Reloaded and really is just mediocre,not bad.it still is extremely disappointing to think that this is the follow-up to The Matrix”- Cal Creek | C- | R.128 minutes.South Wind 12 |
| Mystic River | Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Kevin Bacon | “Director Clint Eastwood's beautifully characterized,complex rendering paints an ambitious portrait of social virulence rarely seen since The Godfather.”- Stephen Shupe | A | R.137 minutes.South Wind 12 |
| Scary Movie 3 | Anna Faris, Charlie Sheen, Denise Richards, Jeremy Piven | “Otherwise there are few laughs to be had as the plot follows that of The Ring.No doubtthe film will make an ungodly amount of money,but I can only hope that God takes mercyon us all and kills the franchise for good.”- Lindsey Ramsey | D+ | PG-13.90 minutes.South Wind 12 |
| School of Rock | Jack Black, Mike White | “While Black is hilarious,many of his younger cast members keep up with him comicallyand musically making for one of the most fun hour and 40 minutes seen on screen thisyear.”- Cal Creek | B+ | PG-13.108 minutes.South Wind 12 |
| Thirteen | Evan Rachel Wood,Holly Hunter,Nikki Reed,Jeremy Sisto | “The film is an honest,disturbing and powerful look at what happens when the sex anddrugs of pop culture invade our innocent youth culture.”- Lindsey Ramsey | B+ | R.100 minutes.Liberty Hall |
