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.

race is on to keep her body from being taken off life support.
Proof Last time director John Madden and Gwyneth Paltrow worked
together, she landed herself an Oscar. Though more erudite and intimate
than "Shakespeare in Love," Madden's adaptation of David Auburn's
Pulitzer Prize-winning play might just catch the eyes of Academy's
voters, too. Reprising a role she has already tackled on the London
stage, Paltrow plays an overwhelmed young woman rapidly losing her grip
after the death of her father (Anthony Hopkins), a brilliant math
professor. Hovering around the edges are her concerned support system:
brainy admirer Jake Gyllenhaal'>Jake Gyllenhaal and coldly practical sister Hope Davis.
The Woods Psychological horror film about the students of an all-girl
boarding school who begin to go missing in the surrounding woods.
Patricia Clarkson is the headmistress and Agnes Bruckner'>Agnes Bruckner is the new

Separate Lies It's been a while since we were faced with the sight of
middle-class Brits keeping a stiff upper lip while suppressing
dangerous secrets. Fortunately, Emily Watson and Tom Wilkinson are
always willing to suffer stoically for our entertainment. "Gosford
Park" screenwriter Julian Fellowes makes his directorial debut, while
Watson and Wilkinson play a long-married couple who are still quite
happy together (aside from the passionate affair and possible homicide
she's hiding).

bayous of Louisiana. With Agnes Bruckner'>Agnes Bruckner (poor thing), Bijou Phillips.
The Libertine Johnny Depp takes on the role of notorious 17th-century
poet, derelict and debaucher John Wilmot, the Earl of Rochester and
grand embarrassment of Charles II (John Malkovich). Samantha Morton is
the actress who comes under Wilmot's shaky tutelage.
Adapted from his play by Stephen Jeffreys and directed by first-timer
Laurence Dunmore.
Tim Burton's Corpse Bride Another day, another Johnny Depp-Tim Burton
collaboration. Not that we're feeling cavalier about it: These two have
given us some of the most unusual movies in recent years. Since
Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and "James and the Giant
Peach" are among them, we have high hopes for this latest stop-motion
animated fantasy, which is based on an old Russian folk tale about a
young groom (voiced by Depp) who inadvertently finds himself with two
wives (he could do worse than Helena Bonham Carter'>Helena Bonham Carter and Emily Watson).
Thumbsucker Offbeat comedy about a 17-year-old boy whose infantile
habit of sucking his thumb makes him the subject of ridicule and
isolation even in his own home. But the people trying to help him kick
the habit are even stranger. With Tilda Swinton, Vincent D'Onofrio,
Keanu Reeves, Vince Vaughn. It's the first feature directed by Mike
Mills, maker of the well-received short "Paperboys."

comic best seller about a young American Jew who travels to Russia to
find the woman who saved his grandfather from the Nazis. With Elijah
Wood.

humiliation of the idealistic former South Dakota senator.

with Peter Falk as a son and father rediscovering the bond between them
on a cross-country trip in a restored '36 Ford. Directed by Raymond De
Felitta ("Two Family House").
The Weeping Meadow The first film in a planned trilogy by Greek master
Theo Angelopoulos follows a pair of refugee children as they come of
age in the small Greek village they are brought to after the Russian
Revolution.
SEPT. 23
A History of Violence With echoes of Alfred Hitchcock's "wrong man"
theme and Sam Peckinpah's "Straw Dogs," David Cronenberg's latest film
stars Viggo Mortensen as a small-town family man whose celebrated
heroism in thwarting and killing two thugs in his diner draws gangsters
to town. The one with the deformed face (Ed Harris) claims he knew the
hero years before and he has come for some payback. Despite his
denials, Mortensen's character ends up having to fight violence with
violence. With Maria Bello, William Hurt.
Oliver Twist If ever there were a story that suited Roman Polanski's
dark sensibilities, it's Charles Dickens' classic saga of an orphan
whose fate falls and rises at the mercy of others. The screenplay was
written by Ronald Harwood, Polanski's partner on their Oscar-winning
"Pianist," so it is always possible that this artistically acclaimed
pair aims to entertain adults and youngsters alike, while
simultaneously approaching the Academy with a respectful request: "May
we have some more?" With Barney Clark as Oliver, Ben Kingsley'>Ben Kingsley as Fagin
and Jamie Foreman as Bill Sykes.
Flightplan In her first starring role in three years, Jodie Foster
plays a recently widowed woman whose 6-year-old daughter disappears in

and would-be golf magnate whose ex-wife (Elizabeth Banks) throws a
twist into his life by dropping their 14-year-old daughter at his door.

roller skaters preparing for a competition on the other side of 1970s
Chicago.

the Danish film collective Dogme 95, team up as writer (von Trier) and
director (Vinterberg) of this parable about America's contradictory gun
culture. It follows a group of teenage outcasts in a fictional mining
town who form a secret club known as "The Dandies." Their purpose -
to love and admire guns but never use them on anybody - soon goes out
the window.

Capote The estimable Philip Seymour Hoffman plays the late novelist and
social gadfly Truman Capote. It's not a conventional biopic, but an
account of the writer's research for "In Cold Blood," his classic
"nonfiction novel" about the murders of a Kansas farm family and the
subsequent trials and executions of their killers. Catherine Keener is
Harper Lee, Capote's young associate (and future author of "To Kill a
Mockingbird") and Clifton Collins Jr. plays the killer Perry Smith,
with whom Capote developed a strong relationship. Bennett Miller is the
first-time director.
The Greatest Game Ever Played Shia LaBeouf ("Holes") stars for director
Bill Paxton in the dramatization of 20-year-old American amateur golfer

Goodnight, and Good Luck This drama, directed by George Clooney, is
built around the public fight between legendary broadcast journalist
Edward R. Murrow (David Strathairn) and Sen. Joseph McCarthy. In the
1950s, McCarthy was the most visible member of the witch-hunting House
UnAmerican Activities Committee, which destroyed the careers of
innocent people from all walks of life by associating them with
Communists. Murrow led the reaction to McCarthy and got labeled a

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-rabbit What are the odds we'd
have two stop-motion movies to look forward to this season? (Strangely
enough, Helena Bonham Carter'>Helena Bonham Carter lends her voice to both.) Already the
subject of three Oscar-nominated shorts, inventor Wallace and his dog
Gromit make their feature debut in a comedy about a mysterious monster
who's destroying the garden plots of an English village. Naturally,
it's up to our intrepid heroes to stop him. "Chicken Run," the last
import from the inspired minds at Aardman Animation, was a surprise

Bee Season Fans of Myla Goldberg's best seller ought to be happy with
the team behind this adaptation: Directors Scott McGehee and David
Siegel did a nice job exploring family tensions in "The Deep End." And

surely the Dalai Lama's No. 1 fan, Richard Gere. He plays a theology

connection to another plane. Meanwhile, his teenage son (Max Minghella)
and mentally ill wife (Juliette Binoche) are floundering right here on

Newell chose wisely.

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
