Rated R
Matthew Perry's dentist and Bruce Willis' hit man must help each other avoid assassination. It's a comedy.

Holy Smoke

Rated R
Harvey Keitel, Kate Winslet. Keitel is a hard-boiled, macho exit counselor who specializes in isolating young cultists and browbeating them back into society. He meets his match in defiant subject Kate Winslet, who uses her sexual and emotional force to crack his armor. Together they play out a wide-ranging male-female, yin-yang dialectic.

The Boiler Room

Rated R
Giovanni Ribisi plays an intelligent but wayward New Yorker, Seth Davis, who's torn between his desire for the approval of his harsh judge of a father (Ron Rifkin) and his talent for making quick, illegitimate bucks. A college dropout, Seth does all right running an illegal casino in his apartment. But when a chance to become a stockbroker presents itself, he jumps at the chance to make even more money in a way his father won't criticize.

Hanging Up

Rated PG-13
Adult sisters Diane Keaton, Lisa Kudrow and Meg Ryan deal with the imminent death of their crazy-making father (Walter Matthau). Keaton directed this adaptation of Delia Ephron's semi-autobiographical novel.
