Fall Movie Guide ’04 – Movies Opening Nov. 24

The Hype:

As King of Macedonia, Alexander the Great (Farrell) conquered almost the entire known world of his era. In just eight short years Alexander managed to lead armies through 22,000 miles of land, paving the way for the spread of the Greek Culture and expansion of the Roman Empire. The true story of war and relationships shows how the world may not have been the same if not for Alexander’s bloody, yet unifying, conquest–and we’ll see it all here. Are we looking at an Oscar bid?

The Hype:

Years of holiday hustle and bustle have pushed Luther (Allen) and Nora Krank (Curtis) over the edge, and this year they’ve hit on their answer to Yuletide stress: skip it altogether and take off for a secluded vacation instead. But at the last minute, their vacation plans are shattered when their daughter decides to head home to spend a traditional family Christmas with her parents. Suddenly Mom and Dad find themselves on the highest-speed race ever to put the pieces of Christmas together before the holidays pass them by.
