| Movies Now Playing Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland — Elmo searches for his blanket in the world beneath Oscar's trash can. It is a place I have always wanted to go myself. Rated G. American Beauty — Write to your local theater and tell them to dump stuff off of two screens and get this film. Hysterically funny, touching, and real. There will be no better movie this year. Rated R. Blue Streak — Martin Lawrence plays a jewel thief who passes as a detective. If Eddie Murphy can do police comedy, Martin can do police comedy. Double Jeopardy — Have you seen the preview for the number one movie in America? If you have, you pretty much know where this one is headed. Ashley Judd plays the wrongly accused wife and Tommy Lee Jones is the pursuant who really wants to help her. Rated R. Drive Me Crazy — Melissa Joan Hart (Clarissa/Sabrina) stars in this teen comedy. It looks pretty lame. Where have you gone John Hughes, our teens turn their lonely eyes to you. Rated PG-13. For Love of the Game — If there's one thing that Kevin Costner does well, it's a baseball movie. This one is directed by Sam Raimi, a former wildman director known for the Evil Dead trilogy. He has toned down of late and become a seriously ambitious, yet still daring director. Rated PG-13. Mumford — An unobtrusive movie that isn't trying to rock the boat. It has a great cast, but it's life span is very short. Rated R. Mystery, Alaska — The creator of Ally McBeal, The Practice and this summer's biggest crocodile movie - Lake Placid, David E. Kelly, now gives moviegoers an inspiring hockey movie. Who's gonna win? Rated R. Outside Providence — Based on a Farrelly Brothers book, this is the story of a misfit in a private school. He learns to love. Reviews are mixed, but all agree that Alec Baldwin is great as the father. Rated PG-13. The Sixth Sense — This is an incredible movie with one of the best endings in recent history. It is well acted, masterfully directed and ultra creepy without being ultra-blatant. Rated PG-13. Stigmata — With the fall season, comes horror movies. This film stars Patricia Arquette as a woman posessed. Rated R. The Thirteenth Warrior — Antonio Banderas plays an unwilling participant in a battle against supernatural creatures. Rated PG-13. Three Kings — Getting lots of good buzz, this movie has a solid cast, an intriguing young director, and a political message. There is violence, but none of it is excessive or unnecesary. Rated R. Also Playing American Pie — A raucous teen sex comedy starring nobody famous yet. It is gross and funny. Rated R. Big Daddy — Adam Sandler comedy about a slacker who adopts a little boy to win his girlfriend back. Sweet, cute, and funny. Rated PG-13. Dudley DoRight — Brendan Fraser looks to continue making movies out of all the old cartoons. Next up: My Little Pony: Live Action. Rated PG. The Generals' Daughter — John Travolta investigates misdeeds involving...The General's Daughter. This film was shot in Georgia. Rated R. The Haunting — This was not scary and it was not good. Rated PG-13. Mystery Men — Here's the review from my friend Kurt — When it's funny, it's real funny, but when it's dull, it's real dull. Not all bad, but not Star Wars Episode 1 — This was a great movie and you just can't beat watching it for a dollar. Enjoy yourselves. Rated PG. Tarzan — Disney didn't make a lot of noise about this movie, but it makes as big a splash as the best of them. It has a good story, nice songs, and incredible visuals. Rated G. The Wood — A movie about best friends remembering the good times before a wedding. Rated PG-13. Wild, Wild West — Heralded as possibly the worst movie of the summer. Pray there is no sequel. Rated PG-13.
