Nazi dark magic during the waning days of WWII conjures the demon Hellboy (Ron Perlman), who grows to adulthood with the Allied forces as an agent of the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense. He, along with aquatic-humanoid Abe Sapien (Jones) and pyrokinetic Liz Sherman (Blair), investigate mysterious and mystical sightings. Based on the Dark Horse comic by Mike Mignola.
All indicators point to a fantastic-looking film, with more bizarrely supernatural characters than you can shake a stick at. Our spies tell us that the work on Abe Sapien is especially cool; but with all these strange characters (scar tissue-covered leather-clad Nazi, anyone?) is there any room for a plot? What about snappy lines for Ron Perlman and Selma Blair? Nothing's definite on the former, but pretty sure, after checking the trailers, about the latter.
During his last free year before assuming his royal duties, a Danish prince enrolls at an American university, falls hard for a biker girl and begins to rethink his life -- much to the Queen's displeasure.
Credit director Coolidge with some classic comedies --okay, sure, they're about 20 years old -- but here, with Julia Stiles combating Miranda Richardson, the cineplex could be in for a pleasant surprise.
When an eviction notice shows up at the gates of the Patch of Heaven dairy farm, three cows take it upon themselves to prevent their home from being taken away. To do so, they'll need to collect the ransom on Alameda Slim, a cattle rustler with a yodel that can't be beat ... or ignored.
The trailer showcases an awkward blend of down-home hijinks and cows spewing "edgy" urban euphemisms. Could be torturous for parents and kids alike.
15-year-old Leland (Gosling) murders an autistic child, claiming he committed the act out of sadness. He's sent to a juvenile facility, where a male teacher (Cheadle) tries to unravel the mystery behind the boy's behavior to bring a sense of understanding to everyone affected by the act.
Hoge's script was plucked from the Trigger Street website, the Spacey-founded forum for aspiring screenwriters. Paramount Classics scooped it up at Sundance, where it was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize. But this is the first Kevin Spacey movie that's not about ... Kevin Spacey. Ryan Gosling, who just received the "Male Star of Tomorrow" award at ShoWest 2004, has received raves for his role as the troubled young man at the film's center.
A woman comes to a small American town, and overturns the residents' preconceptions of human nature.
Last year's big indie drama in more ways than one (promises made at Cannes, only to be broken), Dogville is finally released here in the States. For what it's worth, though, this should be von Trier's biggest American success yet, and even though Kidman backed out of Manderly, the director's Dogville follow-up, that doesn't mean the bottom fell out of his plan. In fact, check out this film's cast -- very, very promising.
A group of athletes, led by the inimitable Sing (Chow), relies on their Shaolin training compete in a national soccer tournament.
If you haven't already seen Shaolin on HK DVD, go see this funny, inventive and sweet-natured action comedy -- no matter how butchered it is from the original version. This is certainly Stephen Chow's best work to date.
A Northwestern town that's fallen to chaos and corruption looks to its prodigal son, Chris Vaughn, who's returned home to lay down the law.
While The Rock kills another potential franchise by starring in its first movie, Knoxville gets the gas face for playing second fiddle in a remake that could have just as easily been lifted from a WWE character development schema. After having its release date juggled a bit, MGM put Tall up against Hellboy, guessing that Rock can out-muscle Ron Perlman. Remember, The Rundown pulled in just under $20 million its first weekend, and Johnny Knoxville makes for a much more intriguing side-kick than Sean William Scott.
A human drama that moves through five seasons, each representing a stage in a monk's life.
One of many films that caused a stir when it wasn't nominated for a Best Foreign Language Oscar this year, Spring has earned acclaim elsewhere; namely, festivals in Locarno and San Sebastián. Oscar snub aside, this might become Ki-duk Kim's biggest U.S. success to date, as Sony Pictures Classics is rolling out a platform release for the film.

A remake of the 1955 comedy, where a professor assembles a group of thieves for a casino heist. After they hole up in a sweet old woman's home, they find that she's the biggest threat to their plans.
A movie so cartoonish that you half expect to be splattered with ink at any moment, The Ladykillers isn't so much a remake of the 1955 classic as it is a live action reworking of those Foghorn Leghorn Looney Tunes cartoons, with Tom Hanks as the self-important, southern-drawling rooster himself. ...more
A film detailing the final hours and crucifixion of Jesus Christ. In Aramaic, Latin and Hebrew, with English subtitles.
I was always taught that the life of Jesus Christ had to be understood in three parts: his life, his death, and, perhaps most importantly, his bodily Resurrection. In The Passion of the Christ, director Mel Gibson has focused on his death, and as the title tells us, his passion -- the events leading up to Jesus' death, including his temptation, betrayal, trial, torture, and Crucifixion. ...more
As a plague-like event unleashes armies of flesh-eating zombies, a nurse (Polley), a police officer (Rhames), and a clutch of survivors hole up in a shopping mall in a desperate fight for their lives.
So, who exactly is Zack Snyder and how come his take on Dawn of the Dead is the most satisfying remake of this year, or last? ...more
An FBI profiler (Jolie) is called in by French Canadian police to catch a serial killer who takes on the identity of each new victim.
Despite a number of startlingly bad movies of late, Taking Lives offers one inadvertent yet compelling reason why we should still like Angelina Jolie: her sex scene with co-star Ethan Hawke. ...more
Street-smart detectives Starsky (Stiller) and Hutch (Wilson) are on the trail of Reese Feldman (Vaughn), a drug dealer turned white collar criminal. Relying on tips from smooth-talking informer Huggy Bear (Dogg) and their Ford Torino hot rod, they screech off to fight their toughest battle yet.
Reasonably entertaining, owing largely to the two good-natured leads, Starsky & Hutch is a movie that no one asked for -- except maybe Ben Stiller, with his penchant to be nostalgic for, of all things, mid `70s cop shows...more...
The true story of Frank T. Hopkins, a Pony Express courier who, along with his horse Hidalgo, travels to Saudi Arabia to participate in a long-distance race that turns into a round-the-world adventure.
