<b>Domestic Disturbance<b>
MPAA Rating: PG-13 (for violence, brief sexuality and language)
Distributor: Paramount Pictures
Cast: John Travolta, Vince Vaughn, Teri Polo, Steve Buscemi, Susan Floyd, Matthew O'Leary, Ruben Santiago-Hudson
Director: Harold Becker
Premise: This story "revolves around a divorced father (Travolta) who discovers that his 11-year-old son's new stepfather (Vaughn) is not what he made himself out to be. Travolta's character sets out on a mission to rescue his son from a life-threatening situation." (Teri Polo plays the mother of the child stuck in the middle of these two men.)
<b>Life as a House<b>
MPAA Rating: R (for language, sexuality and drug use)
Distributor: New Line Cinema (picked up out of turnaround from Columbia Pictures)
Cast: Kevin Kline, Kristin Scott Thomas, Hayden Christensen, Jena Malone, Sam Robards,
Mary Steenburgen, Scotty Leavenworth, Barry Primus, Ian Somerhalder, Mike Weinberg, Margo Winkler
Who's Hayden Christensen?: He's the young actor who landed the much-sought role of Anakin in Star Wars: Episode II.
Director: Irwin Winkler
Premise: This is the story of a man (Kline) who learns that he is dying, so he starts work on his dream of building his own house, enlisting the help of his ex-wife (Thomas) and estranged son (Christensen). The construction of the perfect house becomes a metaphor for the reparation of a broken life, as suggested by the title.
<b>Monsters Inc.<b>
MPAA Rating: G (all ages admitted)
Distributor: Walt Disney Pictures
Cast (Voices): Billy Crystal (Mike Wzowski), John Goodman (James P. Sullivan), Steve Buscemi (Randall Boggs), James Coburn (Henry J. Waternoose), Mary Gibbs (Boo), Bonnie Hunt, Jennifer Tilly (Celia)
Directors: Peter Docter, David Silverman
Premise: "Monsters, Incorporated is the largest scare factory in the monster world and James P. Sullivan (Goodman) is one of its top Scarers. Sullivan is a huge, intimidating monster with blue fur, large purple spots, and horns. His Scare Assistant, best friend and roommate is Mike Wzowski (Crystal), a green, opinionated, feisty little one-eyed monster. The cast of characters also includes the factory's CEO, a crablike monster named Henry J. Waternoose (Coburn) and the snake-headed, beguiling receptionist Celia (Tilly). One of the top Scarers is a sarcastic chameleon monster named Randall Boggs (Buscemi). Visiting from the human world is Boo (Gibbs), a tiny girl who goes where no human has ever gone before."
<b>The One<b>
MPAA Rating: PG-13
Distributor: Columbia Pictures (Sony)
Production Company: Revolution Studios (Joe Roth)
Cast: Jet Li (Gabriel Yu Law), Carla Gugino (T.K.), Delroy Lindo (Roedecker), Jason Statham (Funsch), Mark Borchardt (cameo);
Directors: James Wong
Premise: It's about a man from a parallel universe who finds that, as he goes through other universes and kills [the other universe's equivalent of] himself, he becomes stronger. He's coming into our universe to kind of kill himself. Of course, the guy in our universe has no idea what's going on."
I hope the bold works.
