A preview of movies opening this weekend:
"Anger Management" >> After his restrained performance in "About Schmidt," Jack Nicholson busts out with an antic characterization of a seemingly mad psychiatrist who uses very unconventional methods to treat a mild-mannered Adam Sandler, who has been sent into court-mandated therapy with Nicholson after being accused of starting a fight on an airplane. Obviously Nicholson's character has his own anger control issues. (PG-13)
COLUMBIA PICTURES
Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson star as patient and therapist, though at times it's hard to tell which one is which, in "Anger Management."
"Ghosts of the Abyss" >> "Titanic" director James Cameron returns to the tragic story of the unlucky oceanliner with an IMAX documentary about the search for the big sunken ship. Using state-of-the-art technology and advanced 3D photography, Cameron, actor and friend Bill Paxton and a team of experts explore virtually of the wreckage, inside and out, as never before. (G)
