At the movies

"American Splendor"

The real-life story of Harvey Pekar, writer of the underground comic "American Splendor."

Rated R, 4 stars

"Cabin Fever"

There's plenty of fun, gore and sex in this salute to the horror films of Hollywood's history.

Rated R, 3 stars

"Cold Creek Manor"

Even if Sharon Stone were to uncross her middle-aged legs in this flick, it would still be a pointless thriller without any danger.

Rated R, 3 stars

"Duplex"

It had promise, but instead turned out to be an agonizing hour-and-a-half bad joke after bad joke flick, not much better than "My Boss's Daughter."

Rated PG-13, 3 stars

"Matchstick Men"

Nicolas Cage hits it big with this comedy about a con artist who gets back in touch with his 14-year-old daughter.

PG-13, 4 stars

"My Boss's Daughter"

Yes, this friggin' movie is still in theaters. Just put your hand in a wood chipper - it'll be less painful than watching Ashton Kutcher and Tara Reid.

Rated PG-13, 1 star

"Once Upon a Time in Mexico"

Antonio Banderas returns as El Mariachi in this action-packed sequel to "El Mariachi" and "Desperado."

Rated R, 4 stars

"The Rundown"

Very light on plot and characterization but heavy on action. Wrestling fans will love it and so will your 13-year-old brother.

Rated PG-13, 3 stars

"Open Range"

A predictable but surprise hit for Kevin Costner. Robert Duvall shows what a good character actor can do for a mediocre western.

Rated R, 3 stars

"Secondhand Lions"

Good family fun but a tad on the corny side. Still good stuff from Robert Duvall and Michael Caine.

Rated PG, 4 stars

"Underworld"

If you're into vinyl-clad chicks who strut around with big guns, then this is your movie.

Rated R, 3 stars
