EARLY 2000: go here for CURRENT PREVIEWS
THIRTEEN DAYS
A drama centering around the Cuban Missile Crisis while JFK was the President. Starring Kevin Costner as some high-ranking White House official. (Apparently, Costner will only make movies about old baseball players, post-apocalyptic saviours, or John F. Kennedy.) If Costner doesn't overwhelm the screen, it looks like an intelligent drama about an important event in recent history.
THE HOLLOW MAN
A pretty cheesy-looking horror flick that apparently stars Kevin Bacon as an invisible bad guy. Looks to play like the Mitch Pileggi classic "Shocker". This is not exactly a compliment.
SCARY MOVIE
Keenen Ivory Wayans' take on a horror movie spoof, from the same house that brought us "Scream". Dimension Films seems to be supporting this combo of the Scream, I Know What You Did..., and other popular teen slasher movies. Wayans is most known for the Fox sketch comedy "In Living Color", but has done the big screen before with "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka" and "Don't be a Menace to South Central While Drinking your Juice in the Hood". Looks belly-aching funny.
ME, MYSELF, AND IRENE
Jim Carrey and the Farrelly brothers. 'Nuff said. Rene Zelwegger is Irene while Jimmy is Me and Myself. A schizophrenic cop falls for a woman. She drop-kicks him over an embankment. He bounces vertically. Physical humor by the Masters.
X-MEN
Poised to be the summer blockbuster of 2000, this adaptation of the wildly popular comic book and cartoon stars Patrick Stewart and Halle Berry. One is a female black super-hero who looks great in vinly. The other is bald. I'll let you decide who's who. If this plays more like the first Batman, first Crow, or Blade and stays away from the silly Batman sequels and immature Spawn types, it just could live up to the excitement. On the other hand, it also has the biggest potential to be the Godzilla of 2000 - ugh.
