Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith





Running Time: 2 hrs. 26 min.
Release Date: May 19th, 2005
MPAA Rating: PG-13 for sci-fi violence and some intense images.
Distributor: Twentieth Century Fox
Starring: Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christensen, Natalie Portman, Ian McDiarmid, Samuel L. Jackson
Directed by: George Lucas
Distributor: Twentieth Century Fox



What's The Story?
This final chapter of the Star Wars prequel trilogy shows Anakin Skywalker's turn to the Dark Side of the Force, the downfall of the Old Republic, and the rise of the Empire.

Three Good Reasons
• We finally get to see exactly why Darth Vader is "more machine than man."
• It marks Chewbacca's triumphant return to the silver screen (though he probably still won't get a medal).
• This is the last Star Wars movie we're going to get.


Bet You Didn't Know
Unlike in Episodes I and II, director George Lucas used a dialogue coach on set to make sure his actors were getting as much attention as the special effects.

The Longest Yard





Running Time: 1 hr. 49 min.
Release Date: May 27, 2005 (nationwide)
MPAA Rating: PG-13 for crude and sexual humor, violence, language and drug references.
Distributor: Paramount Pictures
Starring: Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Burt Reynolds, William Fichtner, James Cromwell
Directed by: Peter Segal
Distributor: Paramount Pictures



What's The Story?
Pro quarterback Paul Crewe and former championship coach Nate Scarboro are doing time in the same prison. When he's asked to put together a team to take on the guards in a game, Crewe enlists the help of Scarboro to coach the inmates and get a little payback.

Three Good Reasons
• The original 1974 film -- in which Burt Reynolds played the QB -- is considered to be one of the best football movies ever made.
• SNL vet Tracy Morgan as a transvestite cheerleader. Should be comedy gold.
• Former wrestling superstars Stone Cold Steve Austin and Bill Goldberg play a guard and an inmate, respectively.


Bet You Didn't Know
Eddie Bunker -- a former convict, an author, and Mr. Blue from "Reservoir Dogs" -- plays Skitchy Rivers.

What's The Story?
Balian, a French blacksmith, is recruited by his estranged father to join the Crusaders in defending Jerusalem. When the fragile peace with the Saracen General Saladin shatters, it becomes Balian's responsibility to rally his limited troops against a huge army.

Three Good Reasons
• Orlando Bloom is quickly establishing himself as the go-to guy for epic period pieces with enormous battle scenes.
• Eva Green, who sent pulses racing in last year's "The Dreamers," plays the exotic princess who entrances the young knight.
• An adventure set during the Crusades has been the dream of Ridley Scott, the director of "Gladiator," for two decades.


Bet You Didn't Know
Who is that masked man? It's an uncredited Edward Norton playing King Baldwin, who hides his disfigured face throughout the film.

Monster-in-Law






Running Time: 1 hr. 35 min.
Release Date: May 13th, 2005 (wide)
MPAA Rating: PG-13 for sex references and language.
Distributor: New Line Cinema
Starring: Jennifer Lopez, Jane Fonda, Michael Vartan, Wanda Sykes, Monet Mazur
Directed by: Robert Luketic
Distributor: New Line Cinema



What's The Story?
After years of searching for Mr. Right, Charlie finally meets the man of her dreams, only to find his mother, Viola, is her worst nightmare. Recently fired from her high-profile job, Viola is not about to lose her son as well, so she plots to be the worst in-law of all time.

Three Good Reasons
• One scene consists solely of Jane Fonda and Jennifer Lopez slapping each other. Now who doesn't want to see that?
• Mouthy comedian Wanda Sykes ("Curb Your Enthusiasm") plays Viola's wisecracking assistant.
• Tony-winning stage legend Elaine Stritch plays Viola's own wicked mother-in-law in the movie.


Bet You Didn't Know
Jane Fonda returned from a 15-year screen absence to star in the movie. She tells Yahoo! why she picked this project in this interview.

Kicking & Screaming





Running Time: 1 hr. 36 min.
Release Date: May 13th, 2005 (wide)
MPAA Rating: PG for thematic elements, language and some crude humor.
Distributor: Universal Pictures
Starring: Will Ferrell, Robert Duvall, Kate Walsh, Mike Ditka, Musetta Vander
Directed by: Jesse Dylan
Distributor: Universal Pictures



What's The Story
Phil Weston is an average Joe who's never lived up to his father's expectations. When Phil decides to coach his 10-year-old son's soccer team, he goes head-to-head for the league championship against the team coached by his overly competitive father.

Three Good Reasons
• Don't expect Hank the Tank, Ron Burgundy, or even James Lipton, but Will Farrell never fails to get laughs.
• With soccer's enormous popularity with kids, a family comedy centered around it should have something for everyone.
• Given the way Bobby Duvall sprinted at the end of "Days of Thunder," it'll be amusing to see how he chases after wee ones on the field.


Betcha Didn't Know
There's a reason you recognize director Jesse Dylan's surname - he happens to be the son of music icon Bob Dylan and the brother of Jakob Dylan, lead singer of The Wallflowers.

• An emotional drama in a summer of popcorn flicks? It might be a welcome alternative to everything else out there.

Three Good Reasons
• Jet Li is the best fighter in movies today.

After an outing in the big city goes awry, they're packed up and shipped to the island of Madagascar, where they must rediscover their lost wild sides.

Three Good Reasons
• It's the latest in the string of computer animated hits from Dreamworks after last year's "Shrek 2" and "Shark Tale."

House of Wax






Running Time: 1 hr. 27 min.
Release Date: May 6th, 2005 (wide)
MPAA Rating: R for horror violence, some sexual content and language.
Distributor: Warner Bros. Pictures
Starring: Elisha Cuthbert, Chad Michael Murray, Paris Hilton, Jared Padalecki, Jon Abrahams
Directed by: Jaume Collet-Sera, Jaume Collet-Serra
Distributor: Warner Bros. Pictures



What's The Story?
After their car breaks down during a road trip, six friends hitch a ride into a sleepy little town with only one attraction, Trudy's House of Wax. By the time they figure out why the wax figures look so realistic, the maniac who runs the joint has started adding them to the collection.

Three Good Reasons
• Elisha Cuthbert of "24" fame is no stranger to peril, but this time Kiefer Sutherland is not around to save her.
• It's from Dark Castle Entertainment, the team behind horror remakes "The House on Haunted Hill" and "Thirteen Ghosts."
• Where else are you going to see Paris Hilton? She's such a recluse.


Bet You Didn't Know
The 1953 version of "House of Wax" (itself a remake of 1933's "Mystery of the Wax Museum") was shot in 3-D, but director Andre De Toth had only one eye.
