APRIL 21st
Select:
Silent Hill

Silent Hill
Director: Christophe Gans
Stars: Radha Mitchell, Laurie Holden, Sean Bean (Full Cast)
Studio: TriStar Pictures

The Plot: A mother (Mitchell) loses her sick daughter in a deserted town that seems to be controlled by a dark force.

THE BUZZ: Star Mitchell has been an indie darling for the past couple years, but let's not forget that she's got some experience in the horror/sci-fi genre, as her first "big" role was in Pitch Black. She and Boromir will be hot together, but all the SH purists have to be wondering if the film will follow the games in paying tribute to Jacob's Ladder and Phantoms?

American Dreamz

American Dreamz
Director: Paul Weitz
Stars: Hugh Grant, Dennis Quaid, Mandy Moore (Full Cast)
Studio: Universal Pictures

The Plot: The new season of "American Dreamz," the wildly popular television singing contest, has captured the country's attention, as the competition looks to be between a young Midwestern gal (Moore) and a showtunes-loving young man from Orange County (Golzari). Recently awakened President Staton (Quaid) even wants in on the craze, as he signs up for the potential explosive season finale.

THE BUZZ: With each new movie, it's getting harder and harder to imagine that Paul Weitz first directed American Pie. We've heard all sorts of rumors about what will happen on- and off-stage at the American Idol-like program, but we're excited to see Dennis Quaid portray the TV-obsessed President of the United States, Willem Dafoe hold things down as the VP, and to watch Mandy Moore ape Kelly Clarkson.

The Sentinel

The Sentinel
Director: Clark Johnson
Stars: Kim Basinger, Michael Douglas, Kiefer Sutherland (Full Cast)
Studio: Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation

The Plot: A disgraced special agent (Douglas) works to foil a plot to assassinate the U.S. President.

THE BUZZ: We still wish Douglas were playing the president and not the main character here, if only for the fact that it doesn't seem plausible to frame a 60-year-old special agent for having an affair with the first lady. But we have the feeling director Clark Johnson (S.W.A.T.) will surprise us for a second time with this political thriller. Evan Longoria and Martin Donovan co-star.

Somersault

Somersault [limited]
Director: Cate Shortland
Stars: Abbie Cornish, Sam Worthington, Lynette Curran (Full Cast)
Studio: Magnolia Pictures

The Plot: Life-altering challenges continue to present themselves for Heidi (Cornish) after she's kicked out of the house for sleeping with her mother's boyfriend.

THE BUZZ: There's a lot riding on Cate Shortland's debut feature. In her native Australia, the filmmaking community is looking at Somersault as the country's best chance for international success -- a feat which no Aussie film has managed to achieve in quite some time. Fittingly, the film has earned heaps of awards and praise at home; elsewhere, its reception has been fair at best.

Message Boards: Esoteric, or have mixed reviews also been prevelant in Australia?��|��7 years to make???

Standing Still

Standing Still [limited]
Director: Matthew Cole Weiss
Stars: Jon Abrahams, Amy Adams, Aaron Stanford (Full Cast)
Studio: Freestyle Releasing LLC

The Plot: A handful of college buds reunite for a wedding in Los Angeles, setting off a chain reaction of dramatic confrontations and tawdry hookups.

THE BUZZ: Why did we know Roger (The Rules of Attraction) Avary had something to do with this (he plays a director to James Van Der Beek's drunken actor)? It must be all the sexy faces and the promise of lurid behavior. Standing Still wants to be this year's Just Friends, and with an R rating and we think it has a chance at success ... on DVD.

Message Boards: Release date is here.��|��The Dawson.....

In Her Line of Fire

In Her Line of Fire [limited]
Director: Brian Trenchard-Smith
Stars: Mariel Hemingway, David Keith, David Millbern (Full Cast)
Studio: Regent Releasing

The Plot: When the Vice President's plane goes down near a remote South American island, he is kidnapped by rebel forces and held for ransom. It is up to his female Secret Service agent (Hemingway) and a his secretary (Bennett) to infiltrate the camp and save him

THE BUZZ: Sapphic overtones abound in this Rambo meets "West Wing" thriller from seasoned B-movie director Brian Trenchard-Smith. As our boss said, in ten years this will probably be re-released as a "Quentin Taratino Presents" film. While I'd never see this in a theater, I'll probably watch it everytimr it's on cable.
