| Daddy Day Care |
5/9/03 |
After the Internet bubble bursts, a desperate father (Murphy) and his bearish friend (Garlin) decide to turn his home into a day-care center, which sends his main competitor (Huston) into a tizzy. May go either way if Eddie Murphy can get out of his rut. (Pred. 6/10)

5/9/03 |
Art student Evelyn's (Weisz) latest project is her boyfriend Adam (Rudd), so she sets out to turn him into a completely new person. Adam's friends (Moll and Weller) are a little freaked by the transformation. I'm assuming this'll be a critically acclaimed thing that I won't like. (Pred. 5/10)

| Buffalo Soldiers |
5/9/03 |
A druggy subculture operates among U.S. soldiers stationed in West Germany just before the fall of the Berlin wall, with the battalion commander, Colonel Berman (Harris) and his clerk, Sgt. Ray Elwood (Phoenix) at its center. Sgt. Lee (Glenn), fresh on the scene, tips the MPs as to the goings-on, without realizing Sgt. Elwood has his eyes set on his daughter (Paquin). What type of movie is this supposed to be? Comedy, drama, war? (Pred. 5/10)

A group of young people works with their counselor (Cheadle) to cope with their different mental health problems. Lyle (Gordon-Levitt) is an angry teenager prone to violent outbursts who befriends a bipolar young man (Bacall) and falls in love with a haunted young woman (Deschanel). Sounds powerful. (Pred. 8/10)

| The Matrix Reloaded |
5/15/03 |
It's six months later, and many more people have been awakened into the real world. Zion, the human colony, is thriving and its inhabitants are plotting their rebellion against the machines. Reloaded and the November's Revolutions are rumored to be a long story arc cut in half--all of which takes place over a 24-hour period--instead of two separate movies. In the first half, Neo (Reeves) spends the bulk of his time in the Matrix learning more about his abilities. Continuing a popular series, look for more fun and special FX. (Pred. 8/10)

| Down With Love |
5/16/03 |
Aaaah... it's New York City in 1963, and love is blooming between a journalist (McGregor) and a feminist advice columnist (Zellweger), who's falling head over heels despite her beau's playboy lifestyle. Risky move, putting it out against The Matrix. Plus, it doesn't look good. (Pred. 4/10)

| Hairy Tale |
5/16/03 |
Luckiest little kid ever (Adkins) makes friends with a lovable chimpanzee (no, not Bubbles) and his caretaker (Modine). The family fun starts when the chimp learns karate and stuff. I'm not so sure about this one. (Pred. 4/10)

| Bruce Almighty |
5/23/03 |
Bruce Nolan (Carrey) is a whiny, complaining frumpypants. During a rant, he blames God (Freeman) for the world's wrongs - only to be confronted by the Almighty himself, who in turn issues a challenge: Make the world a better place in one day or else the Lord'll go Dark Ages on his ass. Trailer looks funny, at least-let's pray for a good movie. (Pred. 7/10)

| The In-Laws |
5/23/03 |
Right before their children get married to one another, a CIA agent (Douglas) and a podiatrist (Brooks) get caught up in a grand adventure that takes them from New York City to South America. A remake, but looks like a goodo one with a decent cast. (Pred. 7/10)

| Finding Nemo |
5/30/03 |
Little Nemo (Gould) is plucked from the Great Barrier Reef and plopped into a fish tank in a dentist's office far, far from home. Marlin (Brooks), Nemo's timid father, embarks on a dangerous journey with a friendly-but-forgetful fish named Dory (DeGeneres) to rescue his son. But Nemo and his new friends come up with a few clever escape plans, too. Pixar's fifth, but seems too close to Monsters Inc.'s video debut to make a lasting impression. (Pred. 6/10)

| The Italian Job |
5/30/03 |
Charlie Croker (Wahlberg) and his band of theives attempt to drive a car full of gold out of LA after they rig the city's stoplights to provide a seamless getaway. They use those cute little BMW Mini Cooper cars - you know, the ones advertised before major motion pictures. Conincidence, no? Looks like it may be fun but stupid. (Pred. 6/10)

| 2 Fast 2 Furious |
6/06/03 |
The action shifts from Los Angeles to Miami, where former cop Brian O'Conner (Walker) is given a chance at redemption by bringing down a drug trafficker (Hasuer) - who also happens to be tied to the world of underground racing. O'Conner teams with ex-con associate Roman Pearce (Tyrese) to get close to his target, while secretly working with an undercover agent (Mendes) to bring them all down. Not having seen the first one, I can only assume that this one will be as horrible as the first one sounds. (Pred. 4/10)

| When Harry Met Lloyd: Dumb and Dumberer |
6/13/03 |
Travel back to 1986, when mentally challenged pals Harry (Olsen) and Lloyd (Richardson) were trying to fight their way out of the special education program and into everyday high school life. Without the Farraleys, Jim Carrey, and the rest, this barely made it past the video store. (Pred. 4/10)

| Hollywood Homicide |
6/13/03 |
Two LAPD homicide detectives (Ford and Hartnett) investigate the slaying of a rap group that might have been set up by the preseident of their record label (Washington), yo. Um... (Pred. 4/10)

| Rugrats Go Wild |
6/13/03 |
Nickelodeon's two big families team up on an exotic adventure. Both have lost steam, so I'll doubt if this'll do well. (Pred. 5/10)

| The Hulk |
6/20/03 |
A catastrophic experiment-gone-wrong turns scientist Bruce Banner (Bana) into the Hulk - a superhuman fueled by Banner's inner demons. Looks to be yet another comic-book summer, with this one probably doing well. (Pred. 7/10)

| Alex and Emma |
6/20/03 |
A novelist with a gambling problem (Wilson) makes a bet with his publisher: In return for a $50,000 advance, he will complete his newest novel in thirty days. If he wins, all his debts are paid; if he loses, the publisher will own everything else he writes for the rest of this life. He hires a stenographer (Hudson) to help him get the book done in time, and the novel starts turning into a love story, because...you guessed it. Considering it's Rob Reiner, it may be good. Something for people who aren't going to The Hulk. (Pred. 8/10)

| Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle |
6/27/03 |
The Angels investigate a series of murders that occur after the theft of a witness protection profile database. Their prime suspects? A "fallen angel" (Moore) who was once their ally and... the Creepy Thin Man (Glover)! Might be fun, might not. (Pred. 6/10)
