Go to SEPTEMBER'S, NOVEMBER'S, OR CURRENT PREVIEWS HERE ARE OCTOBER'S PREVIEWS:
PLAY IT TO THE BONE:
Woody Harrelson and Antonio Banderas are two boxers who scam their way into a prize fight against each other. Lucy Liu and Lolita Davidovich provide the estrogen in what seems like a fun little road trip/buddy/sports story.
THE NINTH GATE:
Another horror movie, this one very reminiscent of The Devil's Advocate, starring Johnny Depp. This time he is, possibly, an art collector who somehow unlocks an opening to hell. It might be fun, but probably won't be original.
SLEEPY HOLLOW (New Trailer): -for old trailer, go to September
This newer trailer reveals more views of the headless horseman and shows the whole Jack O' Lantern angle. There is also an explosion that seems out of place in such a movie.
END OF DAYS:
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Gabriel Bryne co-star as the good guy and Satan, respectively, in this Armageddon-thoughts-spurred-on-by-the-new-millennium Action/Horror film. The overall mood seems dark and unsettling enough. Let's hope Gabriel didn't make two disappointing horror movies (Stigmata) in a row. The special effects look impressive. Please let this movie actually be good!
LIGHT IT UP:
Usher Raymond, Sara Gilbert and their fellow classmates, through situations that snowball, hold a security guard (Forest Whitaker) and a teacher or two hostage until their voices are heard. Apparently set in a big inner city, this hints that it may be an intelligent drama with thriller aspects instead of "The Negotiator's Boyz in the Hood". Vanessa L. Williams, looking very de-glamorized is Kevin Spacey to Usher's Sam Jackson.
BODY SHOTS:
Any time a preview heavily touts a movie, I'm wary. When one of the glowing reviews is from Cosmo, that does nothing to assuage my fears. This thing claims to be about men and women and their relationships in all their shallowness and hopes for more. We are told that it's the defining movie of "our" generation. I expect it to play out like a made for t.v. melodrama.
THE HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL:
Yet another group of attractive people choose to stay in yet another haunted house run by yet another eccentric man who is just trying to play with their minds and ends up discovering that, indeed, the house is really haunted. While it looks genuinely scary, "Hill" will have to hurdle the similar-movie obstacle that is familiar to the Sphere/Event Horizon, Antz/Bug's Life, Life is Beautiful/Jakob the Liar fans.
BATS:
Looking like direct to video fare that somehow weasled its way into theatres, this B-movie is about, well, bats that attack people.
THE BEACH:
This Six Days/Seven Nights for young-uns believes Mr. Leonardo You-Know-Who can sell it himself. He probably can for the lady-folk. Not for me.
