Fall Movie Guide ’04 – Movies Opening Nov. 12

The Hype:

> Max (Brosnan) and Lola Burdett (Hayek) were two master thieves who seemed to have it all when they traded their success to retire alone in paradise. For master thieves, however, anything shiny can be considered a temptation. Once their former nemesis from the FBI finds out about their new location, the two find themselves involved in a trap that could likely end their evil ways for good.

The Hype:

The life of J.M. Barrie (Depp) is somewhat unknown to most people, but his works are known by every man, woman and child in most of the world. The real-life author of Peter Pan has now become part of his own movie, and his works are brought to life once again as he writes his classic fantasy about a group of children who don’t want to grow up. It isn’t too hard to believe that J.M. Barrie saw a lot of himself in the characters he created for the century-old tale, and this film chronicles his own poignantly bittersweet story.

The Hype:

Two guys’ desperation to pay off a debt leads one of them, Steve (Knoxville) to pose as a contestant for the Special Olympics. In order to win the throne, he’s got to defeat the reigning Special Olympics champion without blowing his cover. How do we know crass humor and bathroom jokes will ensue? Uh, yeah.

The Hype:
