If it looks like Ghost and sounds like Ghost, then it’s probably…wait…this doesn’t look like Ghost at all. In fact, it looks like a cross between Dali and Bosch – that’s good! But, at its heart, it's just Ghost – that’s bad! Robin Williams tackles his first beardless drama as a dead guy who tries to rescue his wife (Annabella Sciorra) from the dark side of the other side. On the plus side, there’s no pottery wheel. (1:50 – for adult language, the theme of death and the harrowing portrayal of Hell)
 
 
Hollywood "It" boy Adam Sandler is back for more laughs as a slow-witted water jockey for an underachieving college football team. The trailer is hysterical – the film is not. Sandler’s worst big screen effort to date (and, yes, I am counting that one with the Wayans brother) is only remotely enjoyable due to Kathy Bates’ (Misery) over-the-top performance as a slightly psychotic, overprotective Cajun momma. Nothing new here in terms of originality, except the bizarre casting of former SNL alum Rob Schnedier as some type of Latino weirdo. (1:33 – for adult language, sex talk and mild violence)

Before German filmmaker Tom Tykwer made Run Lola Run, he wrote and directed this little film, which is just as good despite not sharing the frenetic pace that made Lola such a crowd-pleaser.  Wintersleepers is set in a tiny skiing village, where five people (each represented by a different color) find their lives permanently changed by one another. If you dig this, you'll love Tykwer's next film - The Princess and the Warrior.  (2:02 - but contains violence, adult language, adult situations and nudity).
