"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"
rated PG
Based on J.K. Rowling's best selling novel, pretty much follows
the book.
Harry (Daniel Radcliffe-a talented actor) is orphaned as a
baby and goes to live with his muggle aunt and uncle. Never
liked by them, he has not been told that he is a wizard. He
is finally told that he has been accepted at the Howarts School
for Wizards. Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane) comes to surrey and
take him to the school. He meets all kinds of special kids
and great teachers. They discover a secret trap door guarded
by a 3 headed dog. Richard Harris plays Dumbledore who is
the head honcho at the school. Lots of excitment, the children
in our movie theater were mezmerized!!

"Novocaine" rated
R
Steve Martin plays a dentist with a successful practice and
he is engaged to a near perfect hygenist (Laura Dern]. A sexy
new patient (Helena Bonham Carter) comes in mysteriously with
a toothache, and introduces the dentist to the world of sex
and drugs. One lie leads to another lie and pretty soon the
dentist is acused of murder (the new patient's brother). What
a twist in the end, mystery and tongue in cheek humor. Also
stars Scott Caan and Elias Koteas. Directed and written by David
Atkins. I liked this one but it's not for everyone.

"Vanilla Sky" rated
R
Aremake of the Spanish thriller "Open Your Eyes", Tom Cruise
plays a womanizer who falls in love with his best friends' girlfriend
played by Penelope Cruz. His jealous ex-lover (Cameron Diaz)
lures him into a car and causes a crash. Cruise who is disfigured
from the accident realizes he has no control over his life.
He finds a doctor to fix the face but a lot of bizarre things
happen to him as he tries to get Penelope Cruz back, at least
you think they happen. Is he dreaming or is it real? Terrible,
confusing movie; written, directed and produced by Cameron Crowe.
wouldn't even rent the video.

"Ocean's Eleven" rated
Pg-13
The original was much better. Had a great cast;.Clooney plays
Danny an ex-con who wants to rob Bleeagios', Mirage and MGM
Grand (in Las Vegas) in one night. He gets his 11 man crew together
and the hope to split 150 million dollars. The casinos are owned
by Terry Bnedict (Andy Garcia) who is dating Danny's ex- wife.
Brad Pitt plays his right hand man Rusty and con artist Saul,
played by Reiner are 2 of the all-star cast. JulieRoberts is
Clooney's ex-wife in the movie and affiliated with the casinos
they want to rob. Some tongue-in-cheek humor but over all not
that good. Directed by Steven Soderbergh.
