The
Art of War
(R)
Wesley Snipes is back on the big screen, two years after
slaying the box office with Blade. This time, he plays a
United Nations special agent framed for the assassination of the
Chinese ambassador. He goes undercover in search of the killer, but,
when the U.N. is threatened by terrorists, the authorities realize
that there's only one guy who can help. Can the man whose identity
was erased by his former allies help save the world? One thing is
certain: Expect lots of cool car chases, explosions, and karate
moves.
The
Crew (2000)
More
funny business with lovable mobsters. Richard Dreyfuss, Burt
Reynolds, Dan Hedaya, and Seymour Cassel star as four retired
wiseguys who face an uncertain future when they're evicted from the
Raj Mahal senior citizens resort hotel in Miami's South Beach. The
building's owners want to renovate the property to increase rents
and attract a classier clientele. But the aging goodfellas have
other ideas.
Bring
It On (2000)
As
captain of her school's five time championship-winning cheerleading
squad, Torrance Shipman (Kirten Dunst) is on top of the world. Now
with the national championship looming, she has more than just the
sixth consecutive title to face. Among the pressures? Her parents, a
guy she's falling for, and their toughest competition yet -- an
inner-city hip-hop squad looking to even the score.
Highlander:
Endgame (2000)
The
film and television series that began with Highlander in 1986
rolls forward. The fourth film reunites the hero of the first three
films, Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert), with the hero of the TV
series, Duncan MacLeod (Adrian Paul). The two MacLeods have shared
the screen just once before (in the pilot episode for the television
series) and may not share it again the most persistent rumor
swirling around Highlander: Endgame is that Lambert's Connor
will finally lose his head. (Newbies: The Highlander heroes,
or "Immortals," can't be killed except by decapitation.)
The plot of the new movie has otherwise been kept almost entirely
under wraps, but decapitations, immortal angst, and at least one
luscious woman will almost certainly be involved.
Nurse
Betty (2000)
Neil
LaBute, the writer-director responsible for such chauvinistic
cinematic diatribes as In the Company of Men and Your
Friends and Neighbors, tries his hand at comedy (albeit dark). A
young waitress (Renée Zellweger), suffering from post-traumatic
stress after the murder of her husband (Aaron Eckhart), heads out in
search of her favorite soap opera star (Greg Kinnear). Searching for
Betty, however, are the father and son (Morgan Freeman and Chris
Rock) who killed her spouse.
