Apparently, 2005 is the year of the Foxx--Jamie Foxx .
The Oscar-, Golden Globe- and SAG Award-winning Ray star collected even
more hardware at Saturday's 36th Annual NAACP Image Awards, taking home
trophies for Outstanding Actor for his turn in the Ray Charles biopic
and Outstanding Actor in a TV Movie for Redemption.
"This has been an absolute wonderful ride," Foxx said, as he accepted
his Ray award from presenters Sidney Poitier and Diahann Carroll .
"Thank you, Taylor Hackford, for having the vision on this beautiful
movie of Ray Charles. You took a chance in Hollywood. They said this
was a black film...but he stuck to his guns for 15 years."
The Image Awards celebrate the best and brightest of the year's
accomplishments in film, television, music and books by and about
people of color. This year's ceremony was hosted by Chris Tucker and
taped for broadcast on Mar. 25.
The multi-nominated biopic about the late Ray Charles captured a
leading four of the seven awards it was up for: Outstanding Motion
Picture, Best Actor for Foxx, Best Actress for Kerry Washington and
Best Supporting Actress for Regina King.
"I am so proud to be a part of this film, and I want to thank the
NAACP," Washington said in her acceptance speech. "In these times, we
need the NAACP more than ever, because we are in a time when so many of
our rights as people of color, as women and as poor people are in
danger of being stripped from us."
An absent Morgan Freeman was awarded Outstanding Supporting Actor for
his turn as a sage ex-boxer in Million Dollar Baby.
For the first time ever, the NAACP bestowed an Image Award on an
Outstanding Foreign or Independent Film, tapping Woman Thou Art Loosed,
about a woman on death row, for the inaugural honor.
Ray Charles, who passed away three months after he was inducted into
the NAACP Image Awards Hall of Fame last year, was clearly still a
presence at this year's ceremony. In addition to the accolades heaped
upon Ray, Genius: A Night for Ray Charles nabbed the award for
Outstanding Variety Series.
Other small-screen honorees included The Bernie Mac Show, which picked
up Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series for
Bernie Mac and Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for
Camille Winbush.
Taye Diggs won Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series for Kevin Hill and
Nia Long took home the award for Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series
for Third Watch.
On a musical note, Alicia Keys was a two-time winner, nabbing both
Outstanding Music Video and Outstanding Song for "If I Ain't Got You."
Kanye West won Outstanding New Artist for The College Dropout and Usher
won Outstanding Male Artist for Confessions.
American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino won Outstanding Female Artist for
Free Yourself and Destiny's Child took home Outstanding Group for
Destiny Fulfilled.
Prince, who took the stage to perform, was also a double winner, taking
home the Vanguard Award and Outstanding Album for Musicology.
Senator Barack Obama of Illinois received the Chairman's Award.
"There is an element of show business to politics," Obama said. "But I
think it's important to remind ourselves that what's at stake in our
politics is more than just image."
Oprah Winfrey, the reigning Queen of Daytime, was this year's inductee
to the Image Awards Hall of Fame.
A complete list of winners can be found online at the NAACP Image
Awards Website, naacpimageawards.net.

Omar Epps in swing of things
By LOUIS B. HOBSON -- Calgary Sun
HOLLYWOOD -- What's it all about, Omar?
Jude Law has just completed a remake of Alfie, Michael Caine's 1966 comedy
about a womanizing cad who learns just how lonely his life really is. Law
has been mum on details, only willing to say his version was only inspired
by the original and he was definitely not trying to copy Caine, one of his
longtime acting idols.
But Omar Epps, who stars as the boxer under Meg Ryan's tutelage in Against
the Ropes (opening Friday), spilled a few beans.
"I play Jude's best friend. We both work at a limo company and we're trying
to start our own business," says Epps. "That's the basic story and, of
course, Jude's love affairs."
The cast includes Susan Sarandon, Marisa Tomei and Nia Long.
"Nia plays my ex-girlfriend and I'm still fawning all over her, and Jude
comes in with his playboy advice on how to get her back, but Jude could be
trying to get her, too."
The Alfie remake proved much easier on Epps' body than Against the Ropes for
which he did most of his own boxing sequences.
"I never did any real boxing before this, just fooling around stuff. Some
people sing in the shower. I box in the shower. That kind of thing,"
explains Epps.
He trained for six weeks, five hours a day before filming started.
"The final fight took us two weeks to complete.
"I expected to have to take some jabs, otherwise it wouldn't look realistic.
But what I forgot to take into consideration was that I had to take certain
routine jabs for 14 days in a row. That's when things began to hurt."
From Sunny Oz, Rick :)
Proud Keeper of the talented & beautiful Halle Berry.

DAILY NEWS FEATURE WRITER
Jude Law's had a full year. In his six movies this year, People magazine's
"Sexiest Man Alive" for 2004 had nine — count 'em, nine — on-screen kiss
mates, plus one brief hand smooch in the upcoming "The Aviator."
Here's the pucker poll for the busiest man in show business:
MOVIE
"Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" (opened Sept. 17)
Character he plays
Joe (Sky Captain) Sullivan
Who he kisses
Perky reporter Polly Perkins (Gwyneth Paltrow)
Make out meter
A little mechanical. Must have been all those giant robots in the movie.
MOVIE
"I Heart Huckabees" (opened Oct. 1)
Character he plays
Golden-boy corporate businessman Brad Stand
Who he kisses
Ditsy blond spokesmodel Dawn Campbell (Naomi Watts)
Make out meter
Played for laughs. Law and Watts Heart Ken and Barbie.
MOVIE
"Alfie" (opened Nov. 5)
Character he plays
Lover-boy extraordinaire Alfie Elkins
Who he kisses
Slinky Dorie (Jane Krakowski)
Mopey Julie (Marisa Tomei)
Hottie Lonette (Nia Long)
Crazy Nikki (Sienna Miller)
Shifty Liz (Susan Sarandon)
Make out meter
A smoochy smorgasbord. Law's scene on a pool table with Long will be the one to
cue up on DVD.
MOVIE
"Closer" (opened Dec. 3)
Character he plays
Obituary writer Dan
Who he kisses
Artsy Anna (Julia Roberts)
Dirty Alice (Natalie Portman
Make out meter
Dramatic. Involved with married photographer Roberts as well as young stripper
Portman, Law's busses mix anger with ardor.
MOVIE
"The Aviator" (opens Dec. 17)
Character he plays
"Adventures of Robin Hood" star Errol Flynn
Who he kisses
The hand of haughty Katharine Hepburn (Cate Blanchett)
Make out meter
Chivalrous — though Law-as-Flynn's downy mustache ought to be rated R for
Rakish.
MOVIE
"Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events" (opens Dec. 17)
Character he plays
Doleful story chronicler Lemony Snicket
Who he kisses
Sadly, no one
Make out meter
Seen in silhouette, Law mostly narrates the creepily funny kids' tale. But he
puts his heart into it.

Its a pretty long list of very talented actresses that aren't
considered big household names we're talking about here. I was
imagining them all sitting in a producer's office dressed in a
grey/dark green power suit. Their hair coiffed in the Condi style. Now
that would be surreal.

If this is a serious question any of those actresses would be

even touch that role.
Sec'y Rice is an unusual woman, fifty years old and there's no
significant other around, its likely that there never has been a S.O.

NY POST...PAGE 6
IN "Alfie," Jude Law seduces Sienna Miller, Marisa Tomei, Nia Long, Jane
Krakowski and Susan Sarandon. But wait, there's more. Julienne Davis, a
Californian now based in London, had a sex scene with Law that ended up on the
cutting room floor. During editing it was decided that Alfie had too many
conquests.
Davis was gracious about being cut. The actress - who is married to Jay
Strongman, the deejay at the China White nightclub frequented by Princes
William and Harry - told the Evening Standard: "It's a good film, a shame I
wasn't in it. Onward and upward I always say!"

Jude Law can relate to Alfie role
Law raises Caine - & his own profile - with Alfie remake
By DARRYL STERDAN -- Winnipeg Sun
NEW YORK CITY -- Jude Law knows what being a ladykiller is all about.
"Yeah, I had my Alfie days," the boyishly handsome actor admits to a roomful
of reporters. "I think it was my late teens. You know -- those years when
suddenly you're legally allowed into bars and you're allowed into clubs and
the world, you suddenly realize, is offering itself to you."
Not that the world has exactly been kicking him in the teeth since then. At
least not professionally. In the wake of star-making, Oscar-nominated turns
as doomed playboy Dickie Greenleaf in The Talented Mr. Ripley and Civil War
deserter Inman in Cold Mountain, Law has never been hotter. Fans swoon over
his British accent and approachable sophistication. Hollywood loves his
acting skills and increasing bankability. And the tabloids go gaga over the
messy details of his personal life.
So, in a bizarre way, it only seems fitting that for his latest role -- and
first solo outing as a full-fledged leading man -- Law has stepped into the
shoes of one of cinema's most beloved lotharios: Alfie. In a lighthearted
update of the 1966 British dramedy starring Michael Caine, Law plays the
laddish titular rake, a merry misogynist living a self-absorbed, solipsistic
existence of "wine, women and ... well, actually, that's it."
"He's a guy who really doesn't seem to be doing anyone any harm," says Law.
"He can't help himself. He's not malicious. He's not a bad guy. He just
can't help himself. He's just made up wrong."
And, like it or not, there's a little bit of Alfie in all of us, he insists.
"I like to think everyone -- man and woman -- identifies with this guy," he
says. "I think everyone will recognize at least one in-route or out-route or
survival tactic in the relationships in this film. And we can all identify
with having been either the dumped or the dumper or the cheated or the
cheater at some point in our lives.
"But the beautiful thing about this film is that it's not just about a guy
who likes to screw around," he says. "There are so many levels to it. You
can stand back and look at the bigger picture."
Indeed, Alfie's love 'em and leave 'em approach -- during the course of the
film, he woos a bevy of beautiful birds (see sidebar) -- would seem to be
out of step with today's world of safe sex and neo-conservatism. But Law
sees it as a commentary on contemporary gender roles.
"I think we've found ourselves at a very interesting and very confusing
time, generally. There has been so much equalizing that we've all kind of
lost a little sense of who and what being a woman and being a man is about.
There's this kind of murky middle ground now ... and out of that, has
spawned, in certain areas, misogyny.
"It applies to both genders," he emphasizes. "This film is as scarily
relevant to women as to men. I know a lot of Alfie women. You know, women
who think power is wielding their sexuality. Who think power is being on the
cover of a magazine in a bikini and being paid a lot of money."
They're not the only ones getting paid. Law reportedly bagged $10 million
for Alfie. He earned every penny -- if only for the uncanny way he channels
Caine, duplicating the combination of roguish charm and sociopathic
heartlessness that made the original film a landmark. Remarkably, Law
initially resisted the role, leery of doing a remake. Nor, he insists, did
he base his Alfie on Caine's definitive performance.
"I certainly never went back and studied it. I felt it was more important to
sort of rely on the spirit. For example, when I did Cold Mountain, I read
the novel twice, then put it down and that was it, I left it. You have to
move away from it and remember the essence -- feel what influence it left on
you and be inspired by that. I think I'd have made a mistake if I'd tried to
be Michael playing Alfie. I had to be Jude playing Alfie and discover Alfie
for myself."
OK, so maybe it's unfair to call him the Michael Caine of this generation.
As for the Michael Caine of this fall -- well, that's another story. With a
cinematic prolificacy that Caine might admire, Law is a ubiquitous presence
at the box office these days, with six films playing tag at the multiplex
between Labour Day and Christmas. First came the underwhelming
retro-rocketeer tale Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow and the
existential comedy I Love Huckabees. This Friday comes Alfie. Then, he'll
surface in the romantic drama Closer, with Julia Roberts, lend his voice to
the kid-lit adaptation Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events and
play another notorious womanizer -- Errol Flynn -- in Martin Scorsese's
Howard Hughes biopic The Aviator. Even to Law, it seems like overkill. But
he's keeping a stiff upper lip about the situation.
"I could let myself get weighed down with a cynical view that these films
that took me two years to make have all come out or will come out in a
period of about five months. But I have to look at that positively rather
than negatively because I have got no say in the matter. I chose them
because they offered something very different -- they're very different
parts in very different films by very different directors. And I hope that
people will recognize and enjoy the variety rather than the bombardment."
And while he seems to be increasingly called on to play playboy on screen,
Law says his reality is rather different.
"If one is perceived to be good looking, then I suppose one is thought to
have the capacity to (seduce) and therefore you want to use that. But that
doesn't deal with the internal workings of an individual and what makes them
comfortable," he says. "If you look at my life, I was someone who always
looked for commitment. That's in my makeup. I guess that's why I got married
and had children."
That part of the story, unfortunately, doesn't have a Hollywood ending. Last
fall, after six years of marriage, Law and Sadie Frost -- who have an
eight-year-old son Rafferty, a four-year old daughter Iris and a
two-year-old son Rudy -- divorced amid a blizzard of tabloid tales accusing
him of infidelity with Cold Mountain co-star Nicole Kidman and chronicling
Frost's battle with depression.
Law remains devoted to his children -- although Hollywood beckons, he
continues to live in London to be near them. But he has moved on
romantically, striking up a relationship with 22-year-old Alfie co-star
Sienna Miller, who denied recently that the pair were already engaged.
Whatever the truth, Law seems to live up to his claim of being a one-woman
guy who's quite happy to confine his playboy ways to the screen. Though
don't hold your breath for The Return of Alfie.
"We did have this idea that we're going to do a sequel where he's an
assassin," he jokes. "And the catchphrase is: He shags -- and he kills."
Maybe Jude Law doesn't really know what being a ladykiller is about after
all.
ALFIE'S LITTLE BLACK BOOK
DORIE
The Cheating Wife
- Hair: Blond
- Eyes: Blue
- Rendezvous Spot: The back of Alfie's limo
- Played by: Jane Krakowski
The former Ally McBeal star jumped at the chance to snag a role in this
remake. Little did she know on her first day, she'd have to strip, jump on
Jude Law and mock-shag him.
"I show up on my first day at 7 a.m., meet Jude and then it's, 'Okay, now
we're doing what?!' I was tense."
Law, fittingly, was quite the charmer.
"When you're feeling absolutely insecure with your entire chest hanging out,
he would be telling you how beautiful you are, how sexy you are. He doesn't
have to do that ... but it's lovely!"
- Says Alfie: "She deserves to be appreciated ... while she's in her prime."
LONETTE
The Best Friend's Girl
- Hair: Brown
- Eyes: Brown
- Rendezvous Spot: The pool table
- Played by: Nia Long
Barkeep Lonette is supposed to be off limits, being as her guy Marlon is
Alfie's pal and co-worker -- but Alfie doesn't let that get in the way.
"We're sort of like each other's forbidden fruit," Law says. "She's heard
the stories, met the girls, but she's always been a little curious."
After the sizzling scene between Law and the Third Watch star Long, the
other women got curious.
Says Krakowski: "I was saying, "Well I heard Nia's scene is really hot. What
did you do with Nia?' "
- Says Alfie: "Gorgeous, smart, funny, can balance a dozen drinks on a tray
and still move like poetry."
JULIE
The Single Mom
- Hair: Brown
- Eyes: Brown
- Rendezvous Spot: Her apartment
- Played by: Marisa Tomei
Director Charles Shyer had to muster all his seductive charms to get Tomei
to take the role.
"At first I really resisted," she says. "I didn't want to be the square one.
I didn't want it to be, "Oh, she's normal and nice and boring, so he
therefore should be with her,' while everyone else is nuts and exciting and
sexual and wild."
Shyer eventually convinced her -- though Alfie still tries to play her for a
fool.
"That's okay. We're all fools for love."
- Says Alfie: "She's my semi-permanent-quasi-sort-of-girlfriend."
NIKKI
The Bad Girl
- Hair: Blond
- Eyes: Blue
- Rendezvous Spot: Anywhere and everywhere
- Played by: Sienna Miller
Who? You may not know this novice actress, but Law does -- she has become
his off-camera squeeze (they recently denied they were engaged.)
"Sienna's a brilliant actress and I'd love to work with her again," is all
he'll say on the subject.
Guess this isn't one of those times when life imitates art. Onscreen, Alfie
quickly runs out of patience with Miller's unstable, overindulgent
socialite.
- Says Alfie: "That's Nikki -- a beautiful statue, damaged in a way you
can't see until you get too close."
LIZ
The Older Woman
- Hair: Red
- Eyes: Brown
- Rendezvous Spot: Her bathtub
- Played by: Susan Sarandon.
The 58-year-old actress has Alfie singing the praises of older women. Or at
least her wealthy and maturely sexy cosmetics maven.
"I was the last one in bed," Sarandon says. "So we had to figure out what we
would do that was different. And I think the sexy moments on screen are the
first time that people touch each other."
So, with the help of some absinthe, she makes it clear Alfie has met his
match.
"She's the one that really sees him for what he is."
- Says Alfie: "She's someone who could mother you and rock your world."

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - The titular womanizer in "Alfie" doesn't have to
compete for ladies' attentions, but that's exactly what's happening with the
film's release.
Afraid that "Alfie" will get lost among the other women-friendly films opening
on Oct. 22, Paramount Pictures has moved the debut of the romantic comedy
remake starring Jude Law to Friday, Nov. 5, according to The Hollywood
Reporter.
If the film had stayed at the original release date, it would have had to go up
against the expanded release of "I (Heart) Huckabees," the Sarah Michelle
Gellar-starring horror film "The Grudge" and the Ben Affleck holiday comedy
"Surviving Christmas."
Instead, "Alfie's" main competition will Pixar's animated family film "The
Incredibles."
"Alfie," the remake of the 1966 Michael Caine film, centers on a limo driver in
New York who is an unrepentant playboy. The film also stars Susan Sarandon,
Marisa Tomei, Nia Long, Jane Krakowski and Sienna Miller.

From the first moments of "Alfie" to the final fade-out, Jude Law addresses the
camera - or us - like an old chum. He smiles and winks, charms and confides.
Michael Caine did it more slyly in the 1966 original, which the new version
updates to present-day Manhattan. It's a tricky gambit, one that makes an actor
seem very cozy with the audience.
Law, 31, says he's unlike Alfie Elkins, an incorrigible womanizer and
lad-about-town who avoids love and commitment as he pursues fresh bedmates. Yet
by talking to the camera in such an intimate way, he used parts of himself
almost unexpectedly.
"To be honest, for the first time in my life, I found a contemporary man with
my voice - and yet it was definitely a leap into a character," says Law. "It
was completely someone else's skin, philosophy, opinions, lifestyle. But,
having said that, perhaps the reason I couldn't really research this part was
because there had to be a certain amount of no-holds-barred [emotion] to it - I
just had to play it and get it out of me. And because of that, there also had
to be a certain amount of instinct that is me coming through Alfie, in order to
make those moments of honesty and intimacy with the audience work.
"It's not me," he emphasizes. "You probably see a lot more of me in the moments
when I talk to the camera than you ever have, but it's always funneled through
Alfie."
Feeling familiar with Law is especially easy this movie season. "Alfie's" Nov.
5 release follows the September opening of "Sky Captain and the World of
Tomorrow," in which he plays a square-jawed action hero, and the opening nine
days ago of "I ª Huckabees," in which he plays a slick superstore executive.
In December, he stars in the relationship drama "Closer," has a cameo as Errol
Flynn in "The Aviator" and narrates "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate
Events."
Law acknowledges his Hardest Working Man in Show Business image, even if it
wasn't planned.
"I took all these jobs over two years because they were so varied," he says.
"It's going to be very odd for an audience to be bombarded by these completely
different types of characters at the same time. I hope it pays off."
It should certainly help audiences appreciate the actor's range, which he
previously demonstrated as the homely killer in "Road to Perdition," the
robotic stud in "A.I." and the passionate but laconic Confederate soldier in
"Cold Mountain."
"Law is best when he's playing dark characters," observes Karen Durbin, film
critic for Elle magazine. "He's capable of using his looks in different ways.
He can externalize evil, as in 'Perdition,' yet in 'Sky Captain' he's the
proper romantic hero. He could have been Britain's Brad Pitt, but he's best
when he's tormented."
Law's heavy workload also coincided with the collapse of his six-year marriage
to actress Sadie Frost. They met in 1993 while filming "Shopping," married in
1997, and have two sons and a daughter; Law has also helped raise Frost's son
from her first marriage. The couple's divorce in October 2003 followed several
public altercations.
SPRING IN HIS STEP
During that difficult time, Law says the back-to-back work "wasn't there at the
ready, it just sort of came that way. In hindsight, did it help? I guess so. It
meant I could concentrate on something. I imagine it was easier going to work
every day than sitting at home wallowing in something that's very painful."
Law says he never uses work to get his private life in order, however: "I think
if you have to go to work to solve personal problems, you're really not taking
them seriously. The hardest thing about relationships is facing up to what you
did wrong and learning from that, and trying in the next one to not do that, or
at least recognize when you are creating the same pattern."
That kind of self-realization is exactly what Alfie avoids. Caine's incarnation
of the chatty cad showed the bleak side of swinging '60s London: He's a sexual
opportunist who, on the inside, simmers from maternal neglect and yearns for
fatherhood while radiating a fake good-time attitude to the single "birds" and
frustrated housewives who fall for him.
In director Charles Shyer's new version, Alfie has "more of a spring in his
step," as Law says. He's an overeager pup instead of a wolf. But his relations
with women played by Jane Krakowski, Susan Sarandon, Marisa Tomei, Sienna
Miller and Nia Long go sour because of his emotional unavailability.
(Life didn't mimic art when Law met Miller, 22, while shooting "Alfie" in New
York last October. They began dating and are still together.) "I wouldn't say
Alfie is soulless, but the better part of the film is about watching a guy
recognize that this veneer he's built up is not going to bring him inner
happiness," says Law. "But you're seduced by him, I hope, as much as the women
are.
"Unlike the original, his appetite for women is more sexual rather than sort of
having someone around as a handmaiden," Law continues, referring to the Julia
Foster and Jane Asher characters in the 1966 film. "He's still a predator, but
he's got a more happy-go-lucky approach to life. The '60s version takes place
in a more seedy world. And I think his relationship with the audience is a
little more deceitful now - Alfie's trying to pull the wool over your eyes.
"I like to think everyone, man and woman, can identify with this guy. But I
guess when you look at my life, I was someone who always looked for commitment,
which is why I married [young] and had children. But we can all identify with
being the dumped or the dumper, the cheat or the cheated."
"Jude was an early choice [for the role], and it fit him like a glove, although
this isn't who he is," says Shyer. "He's not an Alfie - he's got three kids and
a stepchild. Talking to the camera was hard for him emotionally because he's
not brash. He's less a movie star than an actor, part of the English theatrical
tradition. It's almost a working-class attitude toward acting."
Law started performing in a children's musical theater troupe in South London,
where he grew up. The son of schoolteachers, he got roles in theater and
British TV, breaking into films in the action drama "Shopping." He continued to
work on the stage, earning a Tony nomination for his performance in 1995's
"Indiscretions." In 1997, he played a paraplegic in the sci-fi drama "Gattaca."
He says it was the project on which he first grasped the craft of film acting.
Two years later, he was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his
portrayal of the expat golden boy Dickie Greenleaf in "The Talented Mr.
Ripley." His performance as the wounded deserter Inman in "Cold Mountain"
earned him a Best Actor nomination.
"I [studied] Civil War-era poetry, music and literature to create Inman's inner
turmoil, which I hoped you could read through my eyes," he says of working on
that film. "With 'Alfie,' I relied entirely on an instinctive energy, falling
back literally on the clichés of looks, flirtation, zest, all of that.
"The watershed for me really was 'Huckabees,' and recognizing the sort of
freedom and anarchy and eccentricity that [director] David O. Russell allowed,"
he adds. "I did 'Alfie' right after that movie, and I felt fearless and more
free.
"And I got involved in both 'Alfie' and 'Closer' at about the same time. In
'Closer,' you see four people tearing each other apart. With 'Alfie,' you're on
a journey through one guy's perceptions. Only at the end does he realize the
answers are inside him, not outside."
And that, too, may echo something within Jude Law.
"With acting, you draw on everything you've experienced, and if you haven't
[had those moments], then you dig within yourself to see how it might have
felt. Sometimes that's difficult, but anything to make it real for the
audience. Though having experience helps."

September 14
Man on Fire:(3 stars) A wave of kidnappings has swept through Mexico, feeding a
growing sense of panic among its wealthier citizens, especially parents. In one
six-day period, there are 24 abductions, leading many to hire bodyguards for
their children. Into this world enters John Creasy (Denzel Washington), a
burned-out ex-CIA operative/assassin who has given up on life. Creasy's friend
Rayburn (Christopher Walken) brings him to Mexico City to be a bodyguard to
nine-year-old Pita Ramos (Dakota Fanning), daughter of industrialist Samuel
Ramos (Marc Anthony) and his wife Lisa (Radha Mitchell). Creasy is not
interested in being a bodyguard, especially to a youngster, but for lack of
something better to do, he accepts the assignment. Creasy barely tolerates the
precocious child and her pestering questions about him and his life. But
slowly, she chips away at his seemingly impenetrable exterior, his defenses
drop, and he opens up to her. Creasy's new-found purpose in life is shattered
when Pita is kidnapped. Despite being mortally wounded during the kidnapping,
Creasy is "a man on fire," as he vows to kill anyone involved in or profiting
from the kidnapping. And no one can stop him. A straight-ahead actioner that
grabs you by the throat and sucks you into its revenge scenario, then twists
and turns you around with a variety of plot surprises. Washington plays his
avenging-angel role with a thankfully heroic stoicism (no smirking retribution
here). The gorgeously hued images of Mexico combined with hyper-realistic
editing and jerky camera movements convincingly convey a once beautiful and
exotic world horribly contaminated by the evil of money. A visual tour-de-force
for Scott. Director: Tony Scott. Stars: Denzel Washington, Dakota Fanning, Marc
Anthony, Radha Mitchell, Christopher Walken, Giancarlo Giannini, Rachel
Ticotin, Mickey Rourke. 2004, CC, MPAA rating: R, 146 min., Thriller, Box
office gross: $77.001 million, Fox, No VHS SRP, Priced for rental. DVD: yes
Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed: (3 stars) Scooby and the gang lose their cool
-- and their stellar reputation -- when an anonymous masked villain wreaks
mayhem on the city of Coolsville with a monster machine that re-creates classic
Mystery Inc. foes like The Pterodactyl Ghost, The Black Knight Ghost, Captain
Cutler's Ghost and The 10,000 Volt Ghost. Under pressure from relentless
reporter Heather Jasper-Howe (Alicia Silverstone) and the terrified citizens of
Coolsville, the gang launches an investigation into the mysterious monster
outbreak that leaves Shaggy (Matthew Lillard) and Scooby questioning their
roles in Mystery Inc. The ever-ravenous duo, determined to prove they're great
detectives, don a series of far-out disguises in their search for clues. All
signs point to Jeremiah "Old Man" Wickles (Peter Boyle), the former Black
Knight Ghost who was once unmasked by the gang and thrown in jail. Did the
creepy wannabe launch the monstrous attack on Coolsville in a diabolical quest
for revenge? Meanwhile, brainy Velma (Linda Cardellini) becomes smitten with
another key suspect, Coolsonian Criminology Museum curator Patrick Wisely (Seth
Green), as macho leader Fred (Freddie Prinze Jr.) and image-conscious Daphne
(Sarah Michelle Gellar) attempt to determine the identity of the Evil Masked
Figure whose monster army is wreaking havoc on Coolsville. Director: Raja
Gosnell. Stars: Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, Matthew Lillard,
Linda Cardellini, Seth Green, Peter Boyle, Tim Blake Nelson, Alicia
Silverstone. 2004, CC, MPAA rating: PG, 88 min., Comedy, Box office gross:
$82.247 million, Warner, $22.99 VHS SRP. DVD: yes
Home on the Range: (3 stars) Delightful animated adventure follows the exploits
of three cows, a karate-kicking stallion and a colorful corral of critters as
they try to save their "Patch of Heaven" dairy farm from the meanest, no-good
rascal in the wild west. This rootin-tootin adventure features all-new songs
from eight-time Academy Award-winner Alan Menken, who's penned the songs from
"The Little Mermaid," "Pocahontas" and "Beauty and the Beast." Also features
songs by Tim McGraw, k.d. lang, Bonnie Raitt and the Beu Sisters. Greedy outlaw
Alameda Slim (Randy Quaid), schemes to take possession of the "Patch of Heaven"
dairy farm. Three lovable cows -- Grace (Jennifer Tilly), Mrs. Caloway (Judi
Dench) and wisecracking Maggie (Rosanne Barr) -- join forces with a karate
kicking stallion named Buck (Cuba Gooding Jr.) and a colorful corral of
critters to save the farm. Braving bad men and the rugged Western landscape,
the bovine beauties and their wacky team of fellow animals risk their hides and
match wits with a mysterious bounty hunter named Rico in a high stakes race to
capture Slim and collect the reward money, saving the farm. Great fun for kids
of all ages -- and it uses old-fashioned cell animation, too. Director: Will
Finn and John Sanford. Stars: Voices of Randy Quaid, Jennifer Tilly, Judi
Dench, Rosanne Barr, Cuba Gooding Jr., Steve Buscemi, Estelle Harris. 2004, CC,
MPAA rating: PG, 76 min., Animated, Box office gross: $48.884 million, Disney,

Baadasssss! How to Get the Man's Foot Outta Your Ass: (3 stars) The year was
1971 and the hot ticket at the box office was "The French Connection." Little
did audiences and the film industry know that in the same year the birth of a
new era was about to explode --Independent Black Cinema. The city was Detroit,
and a weathered Melvin Van Peebles sat alone in the Grand Circus theatre
watching only a few ticket buyers enter where his new film, "Sweet Sweetback's
Baadasssss Song," -- his follow up to the successful comedy "Watermelon Man" --
was about to play. After months of clawing, scheming and fighting to finish the
film he wanted to make, the moment had arrived, and in a virtually empty
theatre, Melvin sat with just a few curious onlookers. By the end of the
screening, Melvin was alone. No one could have predicted what happened after
that momentous end would be the beginning of history. More than 30 years later,
history is being fashioned again. Mario Van Peebles, Melvin's son, directs an
honest and revealing portrait of his pioneering father. Following in his dad's
footsteps, and documenting his exceptional journey towards political defiance
through cinema, Mario directs and stars as Melvin, based on the book "Sweet
Sweetback's Baadasssss Song," written by his father right after making
"Sweetback." Mario sharply observes Melvin's struggles to raise money to fund
"Sweetback" under the guise of creating a black porno film. Melvin ducked
creditors, the unions and had to bail out his camera crew after they were
arrested because a white cop decided "a bunch of Negroes and hippies couldn't
have come by that camera equipment honestly." Despite death threats and
temporarily losing sight in one eye, Melvin managed to whip into shape a
rag-tag, multi-racial crew and finish the film. The film had a winning formula
-- a hip, empowered black lead and a driving, energetic soundtrack with music
from the then up-and-coming band Earth Wind and Fire. Despite the fact that
initially only two theatres in the whole United States would play his film,
"Sweetback" became the top grossing independent hit of 1971 spawning a decade
of similar studio fair -- "Shaft," "Superfly" and "Foxy Brown." Melvin had
brought the hood to Hollywood. Director: Mario Van Peebles. Stars: Mario Van
Peebles, Joy Bryant, T.K. Carter, Terry Crews, Ossie Davis, David Alan Grier,
Nia Long, Paul Rodriguez, Saul Rubinek. 2004, CC, MPAA rating: R, 109 min.,
Biopic, Box office gross: $0.315 million, Columbia TriStar, No VHS SRP, Priced
for rental. DVD: yes
Jersey Girl: (3 stars) A change of pace for director Kevin Smith, who revels in
weird, outrageous comedies about social outcasts: "Jersey Girl" is a
mild-mannered and at times amusing dramatic comedy about learning to accept the
at-times horrific changes that life throws at you -- and making the best of
what may seem to be a bad situation. Ollie Trinke (Ben Affleck) is a smooth and
successful Manhattan music publicist who seems to have it all. When his perfect
life is suddenly, tragically upended -- his wife (Jennifer Lopez in a
thankfully brief role) dies during child birth -- Trinke is left as a single
father totally unqualified for the role. Trinke snaps during a press conference
and insults members of the press as well as up-and-coming star Will Smith and
finds his big city life a memory. Out of a job and out of luck, he reluctantly
moves in with his father (George Carlin) back home to the New Jersey suburb
where he was raised. It is the lowest point in his life. The years pass and
with them Ollie's plans for his future. Stuck in a run-of-the-mill job as a
city public works employee, he sees no way out and no way back to the life he
used to love. But he adores his young daughter Gertie (Raquel Castro), and she
loves their life in the 'burbs. To her, Jersey is paradise. While renting
Gertie's favorite movie for the zillionth time one day, Ollie meets Maya (Liv
Tyler), who challenges his priorities and perspective. He regains some
confidence and attempts to re-enter publicity in Manhattan, but realizes he has
to choose between the old and the new, and learn that sometimes you have to
forget about who you thought you were, accept who you are and acknowledge what
makes you happy. There's some nifty explorations of human feelings and
yearnings here, but for the most part the pat -- and predictable -- story line
had us pushing the fast-forward on the remote. A disappointment for true Smith
fans. Director: Kevin Smith. Stars: Ben Affleck, Liv Tyler, Jason Biggs, George
Carlin, Jennifer Lopez, Raquel Castro. 2004, CC, MPAA rating: Pg-13, 102 min.,
Comedy, Box office gross: $25.083 million, Miramax, $24.99 VHS SRP. DVD: yes
Young Adam: (2 stars) Crime thriller about a young drifter, Joe (Ewan
McGregor), who finds work on a barge owned by the down-to-earth Les (Peter
Mullan) and his enigmatic wife Ella (Tilda Swinton). One afternoon Joe and Les
happen upon the corpse of a young woman floating in the water and the questions
begin. Accident? Suicide? Murder? As the police investigate the case and a
suspect is arrested, it becomes evident that Joe knows more about the drowned
woman, Cathie (Emily Mortimer), than he will admit. Meanwhile, against the
backdrop of the investigation, an unspoken attraction has developed between Joe
and Ella, and claustrophic tensions evolve between the three of them in the
confined space of the barge. Sensual crime thriller inspired by the classic
film noirs of the 40s and 50s that takes place post-WWII on the canals between
Glasgow and Edinburgh. Director: David Mackenzie. Stars: Ewan McGregor, Tilda
Swinton, Peter Mullan, Emily Mortimer. 2004, CC, MPAA rating: R, 97 min., Crime
thriller, Box office gross: $0.745 million, Columbia TriStar, No VHS SRP,
Priced for rental. DVD: yes
