The Cider House Rules Compelling coming-of-age drama follows a young man (Tobey Maguire) as he sets out from a Maine orphanage to see the world. (PG-13)
Galaxy Quest
Great, silly fun. Tim Allen and Sigourney Weaver are ex-stars of a Star Trek-like TV series who find meaning in their lives when real aliens come calling. Played for laughs—and gets 'em. (PG)
The Green Mile Tom Hanks is always watchable, but three hours plus is hard time to serve for this draggy death-row drama based on a Stephen King novel. (R)
The Hurricane Powerhouse performance by Denzel Washington as real-life wrongly jailed boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter. Movie is manipulative but will have you cheering by the end. (R)
Man on the Moon Biopic about oddball comic Andy Kaufman (Jim Carrey) never answers the key question: Who was this guy, and why exactly did he do such weird stuff? (R)
Next Friday Not worth seeing this Friday or any day of the week. Rapper Ice Cube wrote and stars in a dumb comedy about a homeboy's misadventures in the suburbs. (R)
