| Director: Alfonso Cuarón
Stars: Daniel Radcliffe Emma Watson Rupert Grint ...See Full CastStudio: Warner Bros. Pictures Inc. | It's Harry's (Radcliffe) third year at Hogwarts, but all is not well at the magical school., as Sirius Black (Oldman), a convicted mass murderer, has escaped from Azkaban wizard prison and is headed Harry's way. | Harry Potter is three-for-three with a very strong entry, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. A much darker tale than the first two films, Azkaban uses the sturdy frame of J.K.

| Director: David Twohy
Stars: Vin Diesel Judi Dench Colm Feore ...See Full CastStudio: Universal Pictures | Five years after the events in Pitch Black, Riddick, the visually-gifted ex-con/hero, is caught in the middle of a galactic war, where the future of all living (and dead) things falls under his care. | Computer graphics may well be destroying movies. True they've allowed filmmakers the ability to create creatures and lands that could only be dreamed of before, such as with The Lord of the Rings trilogy. And that's not to say that The Chronicles of Riddick would be any better if it had to rely on miniatures, puppets, animatronics, and matte paintings. No, it could possibly still be the overblown, foolish, monotonous flick that it is... more Message Board User Comments | Reviews

Stars: Mike Myers Eddie Murphy Cameron Diaz ...See Full CastStudio: DreamWorks Distribution LLC | The honeymoon is over, and Shrek faces an even scarier task than rescuing Fiona from a dragon: meeting her parents (Cleese and Andrews). Worse yet, neither has any idea that Shrek and Fiona are ogres! Throw Puss in Boots (Banderas), Prince Charming (Everett), and a Fairy Godmother (Saunders) into the mix, and it's one full fairytale. | Leaving behind a good amount of its fairy-tale trappings for a satiric go-round at another type of fantasy land this time, Hollywood and L.A. Shrek 2 ups the ante on its adult in-jokes while still providing enough fun, frolic and mayhem for kids. Well, at least I think so. ...more Message Board User Comments | Reviews

Her suspicions are confirmed when she discovers that their husbands have replaced them with subservient cyborg clones. | Somewhat artificial and mechanical itself, The Stepford Wives is not quite the train wreck you'd hope it would be, but instead just a plain old failure, a comedy saddled with a germ of a clever idea that it never manages to exploit in the right way... ...more

| Director: Brian Dannelly
Stars: Jena Malone Mandy Moore Macaulay Culkin Patrick Fugit Heather Matarazzo ...See Full CastStudio: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Distributing Corporation (MGM) | Born Again Christian teens, led by the ultra-devout Hilary Faye (Moore), demonize their former best friend Mary (Malone) after she becomes pregnant -- a result of trying to "save" her gay boyfriend. | One of the more anticipated small films this year, Saved marks the debut of director Brian Dannelly and his screenwriting partner Michael Urban. If it were any other year, the film would have experienced low-level controversy, given its obvious ridicule of Christian faith. But in the post-Passion era, with even the pristine Mandy Moore poking fun, MGM et al. are in for a whirlwind of drama.
