This year's fall and winter movie season looks fantastic.
That doesn't mean it's going to be particularly good, just that there
are so many ... fantasies.
There are children's fantasies like "Zathura" and "The Chronicles of
Narnia"; gravity-defying fantasies like "The Legend of Zorro" and "Aeon
Flux"; the animated fantasies "Chicken Little," "Tim Burton's Corpse
Bride" and "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-rabbit"; sci-fi
adventures "Serenity," "Doom" and "A Sound of Thunder"; the fourth
Harry Potter movie, and Peter Jackson's remake of the ultimate
fantasy-adventure, "King Kong."
We begin our preview at the end of August, but the string of fantasies
gets an early start on Friday with Terry Gilliam's galloping "The
Brothers Grimm," which has more references to classic fairy tale
characters than all the other coming fantasies combined.
Some analysts may attribute the rash of fantasy films to the escapism
that comes with war, and that may play a role. But it seems just as
likely that fantasy reigns because the ability to create incredible
images today makes the genre irresistible to storytellers.
The trailers for all of the above movies are linked on the Web sites
www.apple.com/trailers and www.imdb.com. Take a look and you'll agree:
They look fantastic.
Fall/winter is also Oscar season, and there are plenty of potential
contenders. The high-profile films with awards ambitions include Steven
Spielberg's "Munich," a drama based on the search for the planners of
the assault on Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympic Games; Rob
Marshall's "Memoirs of a Geisha," based on Arthur Golden's acclaimed
novel about a woman who spends her life in the high art of pleasing,
and Terrence Malick's "The New World," an epic account of the first
Virginia colony and the meeting of John Smith and Pocahontas.
Recent Oscar-winning director Roman Polanski returns with a new version
of Charles Dickens' "Oliver Twist," and Marc Forster'>Marc Forster ("Finding
Neverland") turns to drama with "Stay," the story of a psychiatrist's
efforts to stop a patient from carrying out a suicide threat.
Two Broadway musicals make the transition to the screen. Susan Stroman,
who directed "The Producers" on stage, handles the film adaptation as
well, while Chris Columbus directs "Rent."
A few laughs
Comedies abound. Among them are: "Rumor Has It," starring Jennifer
Aniston as a female version of "The Graduate's" Benjamin Braddock; "The
Man," a buddy film featuring unlikely chemistry between Samuel L.
Jackson and Eugene Levy; "The Weather Man," starring Nicolas Cage'>Nicolas Cage'>Nicolas Cage'>Nicolas Cage as a
TV weather guy who wears his bad forecasts on his shoulders, and a pair
of old-fashioned family films about families that are too big - "Yours,
Mine, and Ours" and "Cheaper by the Dozen 2."
The following schedule may have changed by the time the ink was dry on
this newspaper. But the great majority of films listed are locked in to
those dates.

together, she landed herself an Oscar. Though more erudite and intimate
than "Shakespeare in Love," Madden's adaptation of David Auburn's

collaboration. Not that we're feeling cavalier about it: These two have
given us some of the most unusual movies in recent years. Since

dark sensibilities, it's Charles Dickens' classic saga of an orphan
whose fate falls and rises at the mercy of others. The screenplay was

the most desired geisha in the popular Gion district, and learns not
only the nuances of her profession but about human nature. With Ken

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe What,
you thought there was room for only one series of CGI-heavy epics made
in New Zealand from an Oxford don's quasi-religious, mythical stories
of good and evil ? Whether "Shrek" director Andrew Adamson can do as
well by C.S. Lewis as Peter Jackson did by J.R.R. Tolkien remains to be
seen, but this tale of four children who discover the land of Narnia
and fight the evil white witch (Tilda Swinton) holds even more
box-office promise. While "The Lord of the Rings" had three parts,
"Narnia" has seven.
Brokeback Mountain Ang Lee ("Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon") directs

King Kong Why, you ask, do we need another version of the 1933 classic?
Because the 1976 remake with Jessica Lange was awful and the special
effects in the black-and-white original are a bit too rudimentary for
today's audiences. Besides, Peter Jackson, hot off the "Lord of the
Rings" trilogy, was willing to do it. Unlike the '76 movie, Jackson's
film is faithful to the Depression period and to the original story.
Naomi Watts'>Naomi Watts is in for Fay Wray as heroine Ann Darrow, Jack Black is
obsessed filmmaker Carl Denham, and Oscar-winner Adrien Brody ("The
Pianist") plays Watts' love interest, Jack Driscoll. Andy Serkis, who
did the body-motion performance for the computer-animated Gollum in
"Rings," does the same for Kong and also gets a role of his own, as
Lumpy the Cook.
The Grace Lee Project An Asian-American documentary filmmaker with the
extremely common name of Grace Lee sets out to learn what she can about
