| MOVIE | STARRING | REVIEW EXCERPT | GRADE | VENUE |
| Anything Else | Jason Biggs, Christine Ricci, Jimmy Fal- ion,Danny DeVito | “An aspiring New York writer tells for a free spirited girl with commitment problems in Woody Allen's latest.The comedic giant struggled through The Curse of the Jade Scorpion,but Any- thing Else won raves at the Venice Film Festival.”- Stephen Shupe | not reviewed | R.108 minutes,South Wind 12 |
| Cold Creek Manor | Dennis Quaid,Sharon Stone,Stephen Dorff,Kristen Stewart | “Leaving Las Vegas director Mike Fliggs helms this thriller about a suburbanite couple who move into a haunted mansion.The question is whether the movie can answer what What Lies Beneath didn't: Why don't these stupid white people just move?”-Stephen Shupe | not reviewed | R.119 minutes,South Wind 12 |
| Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star | David Spade,Craig Bierko,Mary McCor- mack,Scott Terra Jenna Boyd | “Director Sam Welsman does a solid job of leading the cast through this place.Fans of Spade's Saturday Night Live days should not miss this one.”-Cal Creek | B | PG-13.99 minutes,South Wind 12 |
| Dirty Pretty Things | Chiwetel Ejiofor,Audrey Tatou | “Frears leads this great cast through a Roman Polanski-esque mystery that not only unravels truths about the underworld of London,but truths about the lives of the character, Senay and Okwe.”-Cal Creek | A- | R.107 minutes,Liberty Hall |
| Northfork | James Woods,Nick Nolte,Daryl Hannah, Anthony Edwards,Kyle MacLachlan | “Mark and Michael Polish return with this meditative epic about a midwestern town soon to be flooded.A man who builds an Ark and an orphan who dreams he's the lost member of a wan- dering pack of angels provide just a few religious undercurrents.”-Stephen Shupe | not reviewed | PG-13.94 minutes,Liberty Hall |
| Open Range | Kevin Costner,Robert Duvall,Annette Bening,Diego Luna | “The film's slow pacing and patient attention to detail make it a risky proposition for the college crowd.But kinetic or not,the movie is made to last where others are content to rip you off in the opening weekend before fizzling out.”-Stephen Shupe | B+ | PG-13.117 minutes,South Wind 12 |
| Pirates of the Caribbean | Johnny Depp,Orlando Bloom,Keira Knightly,Geoffrey Rush | “...Pirates of the Caribbean does have its share of cheesy moments.However,it is best to toler- ate those moments to enjoy the thrilling and often hilarious ride that brings a welcome relief from the regular summer movie fluff.”-Lindsey Ramsey | B+ | PG-13.143 minutes,South Wind 12 |
| Secondhand Lions | Haley Joel Osment,Robert Duvall,Michael Caine,Kyra Sedgwick | “Family heart warmer about a teen who goes to live with his eccentric uncles.The old coots spin remarkable tales of their yesteryear,which lead the boy to believe they're sitting on a fortune.”-Stephen Shupe | not reviewed | PG.111 minutes,South Wind 12 |
| Underworld | Kate Beckinsale,Scott Speedman,Michael Sheen | “Vampire warrior Selene fights to end the centuries-old war between vampires and were- wolves in this action-heavy horror film.The trailer promises anime-inspired visuals and a techno-heavy soundtrack in the tradition of Blade.”-Stephen Shupe | not reviewed | R.121 minutes,South Wind 12 |
