Assume I've seen everything else. And the hills have eyes is out of the question since she tends to walk out of those types.
The Libertine - Directed by first-timer Laurence Dunmore, the historical film picks up in 1678, when the Earl returns to London at the behest of King Charles II (magnetically played by John Malkovich, who starred in the play when it was staged at Chicago?s Steppenwolf Theatre). With his young wife in tow, our rake immediately immerses himself into a litany of transgressions. When he meets a prostitute and burgeoning actress named Elizabeth Barry (Samantha Morton), he obsessively takes her under his wing, crafting her into an acclaimed stage starlet and eventually bedding her. What follows is a spiral--upward, downward, and sideways--through the city?s pleasure palaces, culminating in a quasi-tragic, quasi-relieving denouement. Melding the naughty energy of his PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN character with the brooding darkness of his wearied detective in FROM HELL, Depp gives a pitch-perfect performance that carries the film, eliciting strange sympathy for such a despicable devil. The score, by the award-winning composer Michael Nyman, adds even further moodiness and dramatic edge to the story.
Failure to Launch - A 30-something man, who still lives with his parents, falls in love with the woman of his dreams and begins to suspect she has been hired by his parents as a way to get him out of the house.
The Shaggy Dog - Tim Allen transforms from family dad to family dog and back again in this fresh update of the Disney comedy classic, The Shaggy Dog. It all begins when workaholic Deputy D.A. Dave Douglas (Allen) takes on a case involving an animal laboratory - one that will take him away yet again from his wife (Kristin Davis) and kids (Zena Grey and Spencer Breslin), who already yearn for his all-too-distracted attention.
16 Blocks - In New York City, a hard-bitten police officer (Bruce Willis) is in charge of escorting a chatty, upbeat witness (Mos Def) downtown to court. The walk proves to be one of the longest and most dangerous of their lives, as it is many people"s interests to dispose of the witness.
