Sleepy Hollow — Tim Burton returns with this dark piece about the legend of Sleepy Hollow. A big time cast should help chill audiences until Christmas. Johnny Depp stars. Rated R.

The World is Not Enough — Another James Bond film with Pierce Brosnan as Bond. Brosnan is second only to Connery in my mind and the last two films have been a lot of fun. Expect more of the same. PG-13.

Now Playing

Anywhere but Here — Susan Sarandon and Natalie Portman star in this drama aimed at mothers and daughters. They are both excellent actresses but they can't deny this is a chick flick. Rated PG-13.

The Bachelor — Chris O'Donnell plays a man who must get married to get his massive inheritance. I'll bet somebody learns the true meaning of love along the way. Rated PG-13.

Being John Malkovich — Spike Jonze directs this film that seems to have everybody talking. John Cusack finds a door that leads into the mind of John Malkovich (the spooky actor). Soon, everybody is taking a ride inside the actor, but at what cost? This film is only playing at a few theaters, but it is spreading. Rated R.

The Best Man — A comedy about an author who gets into trouble writing about semi-fictional accounts with his friend's girlfriend. Starring Taye Diggs (Go) 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. I hear this is pretty good. Rated PG-13.

The Bone Collector — This was a great book, so be careful of the film. Denzel Washington plays a paralyzed man who was formerly a detective. He helps a rookie cop track down a serial killer. Rated R.

Bringing out the Dead — Nicolas Cage stars as an EMT in Hell's Kitchen in 1993. He suffers a sort of spiritual breakdown and must come to terms with the ghosts of his job. Rated R.

Dogma — I loved this movie. It's very funny for the first hour and then it takes on a more serious tone. The acting is great and the film itself is very thought provoking. Check it out. Rated R.

Double Jeopardy — 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.

Fight Club — Brad Pitt and Edward Norton star in this intense action-drama about members of a ...well, Fight Club, that progresses into scary terrorist acts. This movie is very good with an exceptional, Sixth Sense type plot twist. Careful though, it is brutal and bloody. Rated R.

House on Haunted Hill — This was actually very well done . It has a solid cast, good scares and innumerable plot twists. It is gory and not meant for children. Rated R.

The Insider — Russell Crowe and Al Pacino star in this film about a man revealing inside information on cigarette manufacturers to the news program 60 Minutes. This is based on a true story. Rated R.

Light it Up — A group of kids that are fed up with the stereotypes that they are nothing but violent thugs, hold a police officer hostage and take over the school. Rated R.

The Messenger — Luc Besson, director of The Fifth Element and The Professional, lends his overly creative eye to the story of Joan of Arc. The film has a great cast and awesome visual effects. Rated R.

Pokemon's First Movie — $52.1 million in five days ! That is sick ! I'm going into the fad business. I'm going to create the fad that surpasses Pokemon — Country Monkeys ! You laugh now, but you'll be crying next Christmas. Rated G.

Random Hearts — Harrison Ford and Kristin Scott Thomas star in this suspense drama about two people who find a connection between their spouses, while surrounded by political intrigue. You would think this was a good movie, but you'd be wrong. Rated R.

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.

Superstar — I am not a big fan of the “take an SNL sketch and make it a 90 minute film” idea, but Molly Shannon is funny and Wayne's World was surprisingly good. Flip a coin. Rated PG-13

The Story of Us — Want to watch all the ups and downs of a fictional marriage? At least this one stars Bruce Willis and Michelle Pfeiffer and not your neighbors. Rated PG-13.

The Straight Story — You may have heard about the man who drove 300 miles on his riding lawnmower to visit his sick brother. This is the movie based on that story and it is directed by David Lynch (Twin Peaks). This is only in Atlanta, too. Seems Fayette County Theaters only get the big movies that take up two or three screens. Rated G. (And that's not a typo).

Also Playing

Big Daddy — Adam Sandler comedy about a slacker who adopts a little boy to win his girlfriend back. Sweet, cute, and funny. I'd really like some old school Sandler comedy though. Billy Madison 2 anyone? Rated PG-13.

Bowfinger — Great comedy about a failing director trying to make his Hollywood dreams come true. This was written by Steve Martin and is rib-hurtingly funny. Rated PG-13.

Deep Blue Sea — Scientists experiment with sharks and deal with the consequences on the next Ricki Lake. Rated R.

Drive Me Crazy — The world loves the girl who plays Sabrina (Melissa Joan Hart), let's put her in an awful teen comedy that is made of recycled teen movie cliche's. 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

Inspector Gadget — It looked better than it really was, but it is fun for the whole family. Technically, you shouldn't ever see Claw's face, but...whatever. Rated PG.

Mickey Blue Eyes — Hugh Grant marries into the mob and must try to fit in despite his intelligence, good looks and charm. Rated PG-13.

Mumford — A man poses as a psychiatrist and helps a small town full of small town neuroses. It has a solid cast but it lasted all of a breath in the big theaters. Rated R.

Teaching Mrs. Tingle — Students get revenge on a teacher that frames them for cheating. It probably has the usual sparkling Kevin Williamson dialogue but it doesn't look like anybody is having any fun. Rated PG-13.

The Astronaut's Wife — Finally, Johnny Depp is making some bad movies. I was almost positive he was a cyborg. This movie looks really lame, like Rosemary's Baby from Space. Rated R.

The Iron Giant — An animated film that pays tribute to the classic Warner Brothers animation. Your kids should enjoy it and so should you. Rated PG.
