The following preview of movies opening this weekend runs every Tuesday in the Star-Bulletin: Preview
"Big Trouble": This ensemble comedy based on Dave Barry's novel originally was scheduled to be released Sept. 21. But so soon after Sept. 11, one of the movie's setups, involving a nuclear bomb on an airplane, prompted a delay of the release. Cast members Tim Allen, Rene Russo, Stanley Tucci, Janeane Garofalo and Johnny Knoxville play a game of killer that includes a mysterious suitcase and puts them in the path of Mafia hit men, the FBI, petty thieves, a psychedelic toad and said bomb (PG-13).
"High Crimes": Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman (who appeared together in "Kiss the Girls") star in this courtroom drama-thriller about a lawyer and the cranky co-counsel who make up the defense team for the lawyer's husband (Jim Caviezel), who is accused in military court of committing wartime atrocities in El Salvador (PG-13).
"National Lampoon's Van Wilder": A perpetual college undergrad puts his "Mr. Popularity" reputation on the line when his father refuses to pay his tuition and he's forced to earn a living as a professional party planner. Stars Ryan Reynolds and Tara Reid (R).
