Around the World in 80 Days  49 

Jules Verne's classic novel is filmed for the upteenth time, albeit with a bit more martial arts than is typically the case, as Jackie Chan stars. (No, it's not really an action pic--think family-friendly Disney fare.) [Rated PG]
Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story  49 

Vince Vaughn attempts to save his local gym from a coporate takeover by challenging the corporation to a high-stakes game of--you guessed it--dodgeball. Ben Stiller and Jason Bateman also star for first-time writer-director Rawson Marshall Thurber. [Rated PG-13]
Terminal, The  55 

Tom Hanks reunites with director Steven Spielberg in this romantic comedy about a man who lives in an airport terminal (you'll know why when you see the movie). Catherine Zeta-Jones also stars. [Rated PG-13]

Anonymous  xx 
Todd Verow's drama tells the story of a man whose sexual addiction threatens to take over his life. [Not rated]
(New York: Two Boots Pioneer Theater)

Bound for Pleasure  xx 
When the names of the "stars" of this documentary all start with the word "Mistress," you pretty much know what you are in for... which in this case is a look into sexual bondage and S&M; fetishes. [Not rated]
(New York: Two Boots Pioneer Theater)

Control Room  74 
Filmmaker Jehane Noujaim (Startup.com) takes a look at the Al Jazeera news network. [Not rated]

Facing Windows  44 
An Italian woman faces life-changing decisions when two new men enter her life: a Holocaust survivor whom her husband brings home, and an handsome new neighbor. [Rated R]

Father and Son  66 
This Russian import deals with the bond between, yes, father and son, and is the second film in director Aleksandr Sokurov's planned family-themed trilogy. [Not rated]

Grand Theft Parsons  44 
MTV's Johnny Knoxville makes his big-screen debut as Gram Parsons' road manager who stole the popular musician's body to fulfill a promise in this based-on-a-true-story drama. [Rated PG-13]

Hunting of the President, The  48 
Nickolas Perry and Harry Thomason's documentary takes a look at the so-called "right-wing conspiracy" that repeatedly targeted Bill Clinton during his presidency. [Not rated]

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead  49 
The director (Mike Hodges) and star (Clive Owen) of Croupier return for a drama about a retired gangster who is drawn back to his former life to avenge the murder of his brother. [Rated R]

Napoleon Dynamite  57 
This comedy set in small-town Idaho (unlike, say, big-city Idaho) was shot by first-time director Jared Hess in just three weeks and screened in competition at Sundance earlier this year. [Not rated]

Oasis  78 
A hardened ex-con falls for a severely disabled woman in this psychological drama from South Korea. [Not rated]
(Opens in LA 6/18)

Saints and Sinners  56 
This indie drama finds a New York gay couple searching for way to have a traditional Catholic wedding. [Not rated]
(New York: Quad Cinema)

Seducing Doctor Lewis  56 
This French-language comedy tells the story of a ragtag fishing community on a tiny, impoverished island who must persuade a young Montreal-based doctor (Boutin) to live in their town in order to get a much-needed new factory. [Not rated]

Story of the Weeping Camel, The   77 
A group of camel herders in the Gobi Desert are at the heart of this partially-fictionalized documentary. [Rated PG]
(Opens in LA 6/11)

Swing  xx 
This low-budget romance is enlivened by the inclusion of a swing-music soundtrack and a lot of dancing. [Rated PG-13]

This So-Called Disaster  73 
This IFC-produced documentary focuses on the final three weeks of rehearsal for the 2000 premiere of Sam Shepard's play "The Late Henry Moss." The play's cast includes Nick Nolte, Sean Penn and Woody Harrelson. [Not rated]

What the #$*! Do We Know?!  xx 
This somewhat unusual movie combines everything from quantum physics, new-age mysticism, and CGI animation in what amounts to be a drama-documentary hybrid. [Not rated]

You'll Get Over It  46 
16-year old high school swim team member Vincent finds himself popular in school... at least until he is outed after he leaves his girlfriend for another guy. [Not rated]

White Chicks
Yes, those are two things that Wayans brothers Marlon and Shawn definitely are not, and yet as FBI agents, they must go undercover in drag to save a pair of hotel heiresses (the "Wiltons"--wink wink), in the process becoming the first cross-dressing federal agents since J. Edgar Hoover. Fellow Wayans Keenan Ivory directs.
